Chapter 14: He's Cupping Me!
"Warrant Officer, are you joking with me?"
Tang Sen said this, but there was no smile on his face: "You are a Royal Navy, or even an officer, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
Warrant Officer Tom's face turned pale, to be honest, he regretted it a little when he said it, and he didn't know why he couldn't suppress it.
Maybe it's because the gap is too big, and I said that I was thinking about some things before, trying to get Mr. Tang to take the initiative to ask, and then slowly revealing my thoughts, because Mr. Tang didn't answer directly and died, causing me to be impulsive in order to avoid missing the opportunity.
But at this time, there was no turning back, and Warrant Officer Tom plucked up the courage to say: "Although I have only known Mr. Tang for a short time, I have been impressed by Mr. Tang, and I am more willing to follow Mr. Tang than to be a navy." ”
"It's the money that gives me in." Tang Sen naturally didn't say this, he just let his expression soften a little, and said: "Mr. Tom, this is not a casual matter, you are sent by Colonel Norrington to protect me, if you resign, I'm afraid Colonel Norrington will not be too happy." ”
Hearing that Townw's title was changed from warrant officer to sir, Warrant Officer Tom was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "I will seriously submit my resignation, I am just a warrant officer, and I believe that Colonel Norrington will not care too much." ”
Tang Sen didn't care, changed the subject, and said, "So, what can you bring me?" Mr. Tom. ”
"I-" Warrant Officer Tom was stunned for a moment, not reacting for a moment.
"I mean, without being a warrant officer, what is left of Mr. Tom?" Townsend didn't wait for Warrant Officer Tom's answer, and said calmly: "Is it superb marksmanship, or experience in sailing the sea?" Truth be told, Mr. Tom, I have to admit that these things are not scarce in Port Royal, and can even be said to be everywhere. ”
Warrant Officer Tom was speechless.
He didn't expect that Mr. Tang, who usually looked kind, would speak so directly at this time.
"Mr. Don..." Warrant Officer Tom tried to meet Townsend's sharp gaze, frantically digging in his heart for the value that he could be valued by this nobleman, and finally said loudly: "I think my value is loyalty, and I swear by Lawrence's surname that I will be loyal to Mr. Don for the rest of my life..."
"Mr. Tom." Townsend interrupted Warrant Officer Tom's oath and said, "Loyalty is a valuable quality, but I am afraid that it is not worth believing to say it with his mouth, especially since Mr. Tom is a Royal Navy who has sworn allegiance to the Crown of England." ”
“......”
Such words completely made Warrant Officer Tom's face lose blood.
He lowered his head again, completely losing the courage to look directly into Town's gaze, indeed, the loyalty he spoke of was useless, no one would believe the oath of a navy who wanted to change his court, and without the identity of the navy, he could not even bring the same effect as those senior sailors.
"I see, Mr. Tang." Warrant Officer Tom's voice was low and hoarse for a moment: "It's me who is abrupt, and I ask Mr. Tang not to tell me about this matter..."
"Look up, Mr. Tom." Townsend's voice interrupted Warrant Officer's words again, and the dissatisfaction in his tone made Warrant Officer Tom excited, and he quickly raised his head, his eyes wandered, and he didn't look at Townsend.
"I think you're mistaken, Mr. Tom." Townsend took two steps closer and said, "I am glad that Mr. Tom is willing to follow me, I mean, loyalty needs to be proven by facts, is Mr. Tom willing to prove your loyalty for me?" ”
"May ... Willing! Warrant Officer Tom could no longer guess what the Oriental was thinking, but instinctively straightened up and replied aloud.
"Good." Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction: "In our East, there is a very interesting form, the name is a name. ”
"Go, get back to your camp, I need to see ten naval flintlock muskets before dark."
"It's... It's a felony," Warrant Officer Tom hesitated.
"No, it's a test." Tang Sen's face changed, and he reprimanded:
"Loyalty has always been an exclusive quality, and Warrant Officer Tom doesn't think that after swearing allegiance to me, he can be loyal to the English royal family at the same time, right?"
"I..."
Looking at Warrant Officer Tom's hesitation, Tang Sen let out a long sigh: "Warrant Officer Tom, I think you have a preliminary understanding of me, in my opinion, whether it is a game or a life, people's choices are very important. ”
"You can choose to give up, forget about our conversation, and continue to be your naval officer."
"Of course, you can also choose to be brave and take the test, as long as you complete, you will receive a salary of ten gold coins a day, as well as the opportunity to acquire a huge fortune."
"......" Warrant Officer Tom frowned: "Ten a day?" ”
Three hundred in a month, three thousand six hundred in a year...... Close to four thousand pounds?!
The Earl of Real Power can't make so much money in a year!
"It's just a base salary." Tang Sen said calmly: "For Warrant Officer Tom, it doesn't feel too little, right?" ”
"No... Not a lot... No... Too much! ”
The paleness on Warrant Officer Tom's face visibly faded, and his eyes shone brightly.
Not to mention ten flintlock pistols, at this time I am afraid that Townsend wants Mr. Norrington's panties, and he has the courage to steal them.
"It's my greatest luck that a person like me can be favored by Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang, you are really a good person."
"Even if I give my life, I will prove my loyalty to Mr. Tang!"
"Then go ahead." Townsend waved his hand and watched Warrant Officer Tom run eagerly down the hill with a smile on his face.
It went well, more smoothly than expected.
Inducement, belittlement, comfort, plus heavy profits, a set of combination punches, directly made Warrant Officer Tom dizzy, plus the surrender of stealing the ordnance, Townsend no longer had to worry about this person escaping from his control.
It's a pity that Warrant Officer Tom is not a modern man, otherwise he would have frowned and shouted: "No! You're in the CPU... PUA me! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not a nice person." Townsend withdrew his gaze and strolled towards the Governor's residence.
He didn't have the slightest psychological burden on using or even playing with the other party, after all, although money was just a number for himself, it was a real deal for people in this era, and this transaction was not a loss for Warrant Officer Tom.
And himself, a dying person, is not qualified to be a moral saint, and all he can do is to do his best to win life.
