Chapter 906: The Freighter's Way Out
The early morning on the Miami beach is filled with the smell of moist fresh salt.
The Port of Miami, an established cargo port, was suddenly flooded with police, officials, journalists and ambulances.
Thousands of vehicles lined up on the road outside the docks, and some impatient people got out of their cars and trotted towards the port.
Several freighters docked at the dock waiting to be unloaded were forcefully driven out to sea several kilometers away, making room for the arriving fleet.
A large group of restless reporters surrounded a Coast Guard officer and asked questions.
"Is the news of the sinking of the supposedly the world's most luxurious cruise ship true?"
This is its first sea trial, what happened to cause the sinking of the cruise ship? "Remember the →m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m for you to read the novel in a second.
"Rumor has it that the cruise ship encountered a sea monster......"
"Now that those terrible megalodons haven't been solved and sea monsters have appeared, does the coast guard have any countermeasures?"
"Where did our navy go? Doesn't the military need to come forward and make an explanation at such a time? ”
The Coast Guard officer straightened his uniform under the envious eyes of several government officials, and he raised his hand with a serious expression to signal all the reporters to be quiet, and then he coughed lightly and said, "We are all sorry for the misfortune that happened at sea!"
When we got the news and set off to rescue, the 'Heart of the World' cruise ship had sunk and ......" TV debuted
The Coast Guard officer's words caused all the reporters to gasp, and then let out a cry of surprise.
In just a few seconds, the reporters seemed to be boiling, and a large number of questions were thrown out.
"We've seen a lot of names of the new rich on the trial list, and you mean ......"
Before the reporter could finish asking the question, the Coast Guard officer waved his hand and said, "Please be quiet, the sinking of the Heart of the World is a tragedy."
But luckily they ran into Iron Man and Manhattan Tomahawks, who were on vacation at sea......
I'm getting the news now that most of the people on the cruise ship have been rescued, and the exact list of casualties will need to be counted separately after they come ashore.
Believe me, it's already the best result......"
Reporters were reluctant to let the official go, because he was not behaving normally, and the serious-looking official had no intention of taking credit for his Coast Guard.
Sensitive reporters were keenly aware of the official's anomaly, and a male reporter with eyes leaned forward with a voice recorder in his hand and said loudly: "What role did the coast guard play in this rescue operation?"
We have the most advanced navy in the world, so why haven't we seen the navy involved in this rescue?
Why didn't the head of the Navy in Miami show up? ”
The Coast Guard, an officer from the military, nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "You are asking good questions, but I can only tell you that the Coast Guard sent all the ships to the scene of the incident as soon as they received the news.
The military's airborne forces sent a brave detachment of airborne troops, risking their lives, to land at sea.
I don't know what other people think, but I have the impression that everyone is doing their best to participate in the rescue......"
The male reporter stared at the official with a frown, he could feel the helplessness in the dude's tone, but he didn't know what was really going on.
The experienced reporter felt that something very important must have happened, and he decided not to ask the official, but to wait to see the survivors arrive in person, and to ask those people might be better to get first-hand information.
Alvin stood in the captain's cabin of the freighter with a cup of coffee.
He was "tough" invited to the freighter early in the morning by the man named Fennigan.
Alvin still thinks it's funny, the Captain Fenegan took a photo with himself on the computer, found a freighter at sea that mainly helped Miami gangsters smuggle goods and help people smuggle, and "invited" them to participate in the rescue.
He did, and he came in time, but now it was clear that he was going to do something about his actions.
This cargo ship, which is hidden at sea and earns money from smuggling activities plus some smuggling business, can be regarded as exposed.
When he got on the ship, Alvin also saw a lot of coast guard members walking around on the freighter to take pictures......
Alvin didn't know about the gangsters in southern America, but a huge cruise ship could make a lot of money smuggling.
But if you're on the Coast Guard's blacklist, it's not the same thing.
That's why Fennigan drove his own speedboat to find the freighter.
The ship's distress signal must have been received by the freighter, but without the slightest pressure, they were certainly unwilling to expose themselves.
In doing so, it exposed not only itself to the Coast Guard, but also the area where it usually operates.
This is nothing short of a catastrophe for this freighter, which mainly serves the gangsters!
Even if the Coast Guard doesn't trouble them this time for their participation in saving people, it may not be in the future.
In the future, even if the Coast Guard or the Tobacco Administration sent personnel from time to time to inspect the freighter and urge them to go the right way, it would be finished!
Looking at the white captain circling in front of him, Alvin said amusedly: "It's useless for you to wander around like this, I guess you can dock anywhere in America now, and everyone will applaud you." ”
The white captain glared at Fennigan, who looked down and pretended to admire the floor, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Principal Alvin, we respect you, so when this Fenegan came to us, we didn't hesitate to come......"
Alvin interrupted the talkative captain with a wave of his hand, and when he put the reason for coming to the rescue on his head, he couldn't get out.
Looking at the white captain's sad expression, Alvin said a little helplessly: "Captain Otis, why don't you show yourself a little noble?"
Rescue at sea is the duty of every seafarer......"
Captain Otis shook his head bitterly and said, "But there are no other ships worth more than 100 million smuggled goods, and the owners of these smuggled goods cover most of the gangsters in Miami......
For God's sake, Principal Alvin, you have to help me.
Those Coast Guard bastards have a nose like a dog in Turin, and I'm afraid if they turn their faces when they land, I'm done with all the guys here!
The gangsters are going to tear me and my family to shreds, and my youngest daughter is only 12 years old......"
Alvin took a sip of coffee, shook his head helplessly, and said, "I can guarantee that no one will be able to trouble you this time, but I can't guarantee what your future will be!"
By the way, what are you mainly smuggling? ”
Captain Otis was relieved to hear Alvin's assurances that he would not have problems this time, and said, "Actually, we mainly deal in tobacco, alcohol, electronics, and automobiles......
Shipping is also sluggish now, and in order to keep the ship running, we have to choose to do this.
This ship is the accumulation of several generations of my family, and it really can't be a problem......"
Alvin looked at Captain Otis with some surprise and said with a smile, "I thought you would smuggle drugs or something, after all, that's what makes a lot of money." ”
Captain Otis was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "The drug trade can't be used on such a big ship......
Those drug dealers have their own planes and speedboats, where is my turn to do this?
Actually, I'm only the owner of the ship, not the owner of the ship......"
Alvin smiled and nodded, and said, "If it's just what you said, I can guarantee that you won't have a problem this time."
Even if you can't do business here in the future, I can introduce you to a little bit of other business.
There are a lot of good things in the Caribbean, and if you can organize the supply of goods, ship them to New York after normal customs clearance, and I can find someone to eat your goods.
It may not make much money, but it will certainly make more money than if you were just a boatman. ”
As he spoke, Alvin squeezed his eyes at Captain Otis and said with a smile, "I heard that there is a cigar in Cuba that is produced on the laps of beautiful women, and I have the opportunity to bring me a few boxes." ”
Captain Otis was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Alvin to be so easy to talk to, if he did what he said, what else would he mess with those gangsters? I'm just drinking some soup behind their butts now, where is it better than doing business on my own?
Organize several containers of specialty products to be sent to New York every two months, and you can make a fortune by selling the capacity of the freighter at a low price!
Seeing the hope of the future, Captain Otis graciously took out a cigar from a drawer and handed it to Alvin, and then he carefully lit the cigar for Alvin and whispered, "Are you telling the truth?" ”
Alvin spread his hands indifferently and said with a smile: "I'll give you a call, you can go to New York to talk to the other party."
The market in New York is much bigger than in Miami, and the people there are much more generous......"
As he spoke, Alvin glanced at Fenegan, who had been looking down at the floor, and said to Captain Otis with a smile, "Don't blame Fennigan, he's here to help those survivors, and he's here to help me."
If you have any problems with the gangsters that you can't solve, let me know and I'll help you solve them all at once.
They have to give me face, that's what Fenegan said, I didn't know I had this kind of influence before! ”
Captain Otis let out a sigh of relief, and Alvin's words reassured him completely.
The entire East Coast of the United States, including Miami, no gangster dared to refuse Alvin's offer.
They don't have legal citizenship with Alvin, and no one will accuse Alvin of slashing a few gangsters.
Miami's biggest tobacco dealer now came from Hell's Kitchen in New York, bringing his fear of Alvin with him.
It's just that at the beginning, it was fear and resentment, but now there is an inexplicable sense of pride.
Captain Otis had heard the boss boast in many places that he had had a bad time with the Manhattan Tomahawk, and that although he had lost, he was still a superhero......
Just as Alvin had finished Captain Otis and was about to return to the yacht, a deafening cheer resounded throughout the freighter.
Captain Otis graciously poured Alvin a new cup of coffee, and said with a smile: "It's almost time to get to the port, or you can sit for a while, and the survivors here will be happy to disembark with you......"
Alvin looked through the glass of the cockpit at the harbor that had appeared a few kilometers away, and glanced at the crowd on the deck of the freighter that were hugging, cheering, and crying excitedly, and he smiled and nodded at the slippery captain, and said, "Then you'd better prepare me a breakfast, this Mr. Fenigan pulled me over early for your business." ”
Captain Otis glanced at Fennigan, who had been nonexistent, and decided to show him a little more respect in the future, it seems that his relationship with the Manhattan Tomahawk is indeed not bad.
Fennigan stole a glance at Alvin, who had a relaxed expression, and saw that he didn't care at all about his use of his name, and that he was willing to block the trouble for Captain Otis, and vaguely expressed that he was his friend, so that he was completely relieved.
At the same time, Fenegan understands why New York's most murderous gangster would regard Alvin as a king, and he never seems to let down the people who helped him......
Glancing at Captain Otis, who was looking at him, Feenigan touched his hair and said with a smile: "I have some acquaintances in Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela, maybe we can work together......"
