Chapter 122 High-level Meeting
readx;?“ Are you really sure?" Chu Wenle asked again, his role is like this, almost every decision of Mo Ran will be discussed with him, but most of the time it is not discussed, it is often Mo Ran who asks for his opinion after making a decision, if he resolutely opposes it, Mo Ran will reconsider whether this decision is correct or not, but under normal circumstances, as long as he thinks it is feasible, he will never rashly resist Mo Ran's decision. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
And Mo Ran's overall concept is not weak, so there are not many times when Chu Wenle needs to stand up and correct him, most of the time Mo Ran says his decision, and then Chu Wenle participates to see if there are still some loopholes or something like that, or think about the feasibility.
The two have cooperated tacitly, and after so long, there are few times when things go wrong.
"I think that if we want to get out of here, we must need a road that can connect to the outside world, otherwise, even if we happen to wait for a passing ship, we will not be sent back to our hometown for no reason, and the customs side is also a problem, I don't want to be sent to a strange country and then abandoned in a camp for displaced people, which is better than fending for myself on the island. Mo Ran turned his head and said to Chu Wenle.
Originally, he didn't understand these things, but after following this group of people, he realized that he had thought too simple at first.
Originally, he thought that these people could contact the nearest country through passing ships, and then get some money, even if they were repatriated, but later found out that it was not that simple.
Even if they land on the nearest land by merchant ship or other means, the best possible thing for others is to treat their unidentified people as stowaways and send them to the concentration of displaced people.
And even if it weren't for this ending, it wouldn't be much better.
If this is the case, then they will not only lose hope of returning home, but also lose their freedom.
This is unbearable for all.
"That's right, but how feasible is this matter? After all, we are short of manpower, and it is almost impossible to form a pirate group, and more importantly, we don't even have a proper ship now, how can we be pirates?"
Even if you are a pirate, what can you do with this little man, and whether you can survive the armed defense of others is a question.
"I understand this, it's just a preliminary idea, we always have to find some goals for ourselves, find a direction, don't we?" Mo Ran still didn't say a word, that is, to leave a little hope for himself.
With their current strength and power, it is even more difficult to go back, Xiao Hei and they still have hope, but he and Chu Wenle can't do it, the xenophobic thinking abroad is particularly serious, in their minds, they are going to cheat money when they land on the shore, and they are despicable and dirty smugglers who go ashore.
In fact, having said that, smuggling is not a big deal, and it is a big deal to be repatriated if you are discovered, but there is another possibility that you will be detained, which will be miserable.
In countries with high xenophobia, they can even treat their group of unidentified people as street rats that everyone shouts and beats.
Therefore, Mo Ran can't take this risk, he would rather fight with his own life than pin all his hopes on the soft-heartedness that others may have, this is not his style.
"I don't think that's good. Xiao Hei had been silent since the beginning of the topic, and now he suddenly opened his mouth to the surprise of the others.
"Oh? Why?"
"Think about it, this area is so remote, and for so long, have you ever seen any merchant ships and yachts pass by the nearby waters?"
"That's not true, it's possible that there are ships passing by, but we didn't see it" Chu Wenle couldn't go on as he spoke, this sentence couldn't even deceive himself, although this possibility is not nothing, but in the past three years, no other ships have been found to pass by, and the low probability event is not like this.
"What you said may also be a situation, but most of the evidence shows that this area is very remote, so remote that there are no routes to pass by, although the nearest island is not particularly far away, but to find an island in the vast sea, especially in the absence of a certain positioning, is definitely gambling on your own character. Xiao Hei's words couldn't help but make everyone fall into deep thought.
Indeed, they had thought too simply, if it was so easy to be a pirate, why should they be so haggard and struggling?
If there is no business, the pirates will starve to death, and although they will not be without food, if they do not get anything for a long time, the consumption of the ships alone will make them die.
If they were able to rob a merchant ship, they would be able to squander the spare fuel alone, and of course, if they could rob an ocean-going freighter, they would be developed, but is this possible? Not to mention that their armed forces are very weak at all, and some important supplies are escorted by destroyers, and their little children's things are not enough to see.
Let's be more realistic, there is not even a waterway here, how can you find those passing ships?
The robbery is a drop that requires both sides to carry out the necessary conditions for support.
"What Xiao Hei said is not unreasonable, we really need to discuss it properly when we take some time. Nodding, Mo Ran admitted.
What Xiao Hei said is indeed the most practical and inevitable problem, if they want to form a pirate group now, what they need is not simply to gather a few people with a few guns, they not only need to replenish personnel, but also to buy equipment, and more importantly, they need to have a stable source of intelligence, otherwise, even if they drive a boat on the sea every day, they are still like headless flies, but unfortunately, they don't have these.
Armed, equipped, and intelligent, they now have almost nothing, and wanting to become the hegemon of the sea from scratch is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Well, can I say a couple of words?" said Jason, who was attending the core for the first time. Mo Ran's ability to allow him to participate in their high-end small group is undoubtedly a kind of trust and acceptance of him, which makes Jason very happy, knowing that Miss Jin has brought so many team members, he is the first person to be allowed to participate in Mo Ran's high-level meeting, which is enough for him to be proud, although this high-level meeting is not very formal.
"Tell me about it. Mo Ran turned around with interest and glanced at Jason, who was a little apprehensive, this young man didn't have any particularly outstanding expertise, but his style of doing things made Mo Ran very satisfied, thoughtful and knew how to advance and retreat, if an old oilman who was in the shopping mall did this, Mo Ran would definitely not be pretentious, but a young man who was not a few years older than him could do this, it was really extraordinary.
"I don't think it's realistic for us to find a source of information at the moment. Jason said cautiously, by the way, he looked at the faces of the people around him, and saw that others had no special reactions, so he was relieved, he was involved for the first time, and he didn't want to offend anyone because he came out rashly, so it would be difficult to mess around here in the future.
Encouraged by Mo Ran's gaze, Jason continued: "But the equipment can be obtained from other pirate gangs, just like Boss Mo, you mentioned before, we want to be pirates and rob pirates, although it seems unrealistic at first glance, but you must know that other pirate members can't have such strong firepower equipment as ours, and it's already great to have four or five rifles on a speedboat." ”
"Go on. ”
"And Mr. Jack has been a pirate before, if we can find the area where the pirates often move, I believe everything will be solved, the problem is that we don't have positioning and navigation now, we don't know where we are, and it is still very difficult to find the area where the pirates are active. Although Jason almost denied himself in the end, his suggestion still made Mo Ran's eyes shine.
Raising war with war is the best way for them to start from scratch at the bottom of the silk, otherwise it will undoubtedly be a bit of a cart before the horse to spend a few years or even more than ten years to slowly accumulate and then form a pirate group.
As for Jason's question of not knowing the sea, although it is somewhat difficult, it is not without clues.
It's just that this task is very tedious, and the time and energy required are huge, but what they have most at the moment is time, and if they don't have a common goal, they are no different from eating and waiting for death.
Mo Ran, who had a plan in his heart, pondered for a while, and others didn't dare to disturb him, until he took the initiative to speak again.
"Well, Jason, I've given you a particularly important task. ”
"What's the matter, you say. Mo Ran took the initiative to explain the task, Jason was thinking in his heart, no matter what, he had to complete the consummation, but he didn't say it to death, if he had the ability to do it, it would be the best of nature, if he couldn't do it at this time, he wouldn't leave half a point for himself, and if he couldn't do it, it would still be looked down upon.
"During this time, you just quietly and concentrate on counting everyone's memories of this sea area, that is to say, record the narratives of people who have memories of this sea area, and then unify and organize them, find out useful information, and try to determine the location of this sea area, can you do it?"
This job is not too difficult, but what is required is careful thinking, and patience, once this work is completed, it will be of great help in the future, so Mo Ran gave this task to Jason, who he believed could do well.
"I'll do my best," Jason didn't say no, but he didn't have a definite guarantee, after all, there will always be errors in memory, and it is really difficult to determine the location of this sea area completely based on everyone's memory, and this is not the most critical.
"Don't worry, I will let all the people involved fully cooperate with you, you just do your best to calculate the location of the sea as much as possible, and you don't need to worry about the rest. Mo Ran seemed to know what he was thinking, and gave him a preventive shot in advance.
He knew that with Jason's ability, it would not be too difficult to do this well, but only if everyone fully cooperated with him, he could only carry out his work, otherwise he could only stare dryly.
"That's fine. Jason carefully calculated the probability of this in his mind, and finally nodded in agreement.
