【013】 Pirates?
(It’s a new week! I want to be on the new book list. Friends who like this book, please raise your hand and give me a vote! This is related to the fate of this book, thank you!)
An old-fashioned boiler with an original price of up to 200 pounds was actually asked for 300 pounds by him. Schmidt, who knew the goods, originally wanted to walk away, but Long Hao thought about it and agreed, but asked the Frenchman to take responsibility.
The disassembly and installation of the boiler will be paid only after the installation is completed.
For this reason, Schmidt complained: "Kind Mr. Long, this second-hand boiler can't even be sold for 30 pounds in Germany. Now he wants ten times the price. Why don't you let Brontosaurus give him a gun?"
Killed?"
Long Hao smiled and said: "Schmidt, killing is one of the Ten Commandments of Moses! That's how business is, if I need it and he has the goods, if you and I are willing, we can make a deal! And he also sent someone to help us install it.
At £300, it’s a great deal!”
Schmidt covered his money bag and hummed: "You have to pay this time, don't expect me to contribute half of it! All this money will be used to buy mining equipment!"
Long Hao smiled mysteriously: "Of course I'll pay!"
Two of the three days were spent on installing and debugging the old-fashioned boiler. After the dragon ship lifted anchor and slowly started to launch, the Frenchman stood on the shore, took the five gold bars handed to him by Long Hao, and smiled brightly: "
God bless you. With my boiler, you don’t have to be afraid if there’s a storm next time! You can definitely rush out with full power, hahaha!”
300 pounds is enough for me to replace a brand new boiler set! Jews, hey, that's all!
With the new boiler, the speed of the dragon ship has returned to 6 knots, and the white water splashes appear, indicating a bright future!
Schmidt saw Long Hao's transaction with the French from a distance. At this time, he walked over and said with great pain: "Five gold bars, my lord, you must have used that dog head."
Gold! Let me tell you, if the ore sample is too small, it will affect the determination of the location of the gold mine!"
Long Hao touched his chin and ignored Schmidt, but murmured to himself: "I don't know whether foreigners hide the gold bars immediately after receiving them, or hold them in their arms and sleep... If it's the latter, I'm afraid that
It won’t be long before this cute French guy is going crazy to catch up!”
"What? What are you talking about?" Schmidt couldn't understand Chinese and quickly asked Long Hao.
In fact, it's nothing. Long Hao just used the gold source to temporarily change the metal properties of the five iron bars and turned them into five golden gold bars. Otherwise, Master Long really wouldn't be able to give the greedy 300 pounds.
French guy.
For this reason, Jin Yuan's energy was consumed until only 15 kua were left, and those five 'gold bars' could only last for half an hour! This is why Long Hao insisted on paying before the ship was sailing.
It seems that Long Hao is lucky. The Frenchman must have really hidden the 'gold bars'. The dragon ship has left St. Matthew Island for 3 hours. The sea and sky are vast in front, and the waves are calm behind. There are no debt-collecting freighters chasing after him.
Come up.
After a day of sailing, Long Hao got up the next day. He was about to go to the deck to loosen his muscles and bones, and picked up the 13 sets of radio gymnastics that had been put away for a few days due to illness. Unexpectedly, when he walked to the stern, he heard someone banging behind the big chimney.
There was a voice, and there was someone talking, and the voice sounded like Schmidt!
Long Hao Daqi: Schmidt, this lazy guy, has never had the habit of getting up early. What are you doing today?
So he turned to Yuan'er and Xiang Ling whispered: "Shh, let's go over and take a look!"
"Yeah!" The two women nodded obediently. Obviously, the saying that a woman's curiosity can kill nine cats is not groundless.
"Oh, you can't put weapons openly on the deck! My Lord, if the British patrol ship discovers this, their cannonballs will fly mercilessly!" Schmidt shouted loudly.
, using his broken English: "Bang bang bang, we will all be blasted to the sky!"
"Brother Lei, what is this foreign devil talking about? Damn it, who can teach him profound Chinese? Hearing the birdsong gives me a headache!" Long Hao heard clearly, and this somewhat rude voice was clearly that of Zhou Bodang.
Turning around the chimney, Long Hao looked around and saw Zhou Bodang, Thunder Dragon, Schmidt and several Dragon Scale team members standing in the open space at the stern of the ship. In the middle of them, there were two big steel guys!
Maxim heavy machine gun!
Long Hao's eyes lit up and he was wondering: Why were these two big killers brought out?
Thunder Dragon exchanged a few words with Schmidt in English, and then said to Uncle Zhou: "Brother Zhou, Schmidt said that if you put these two Maxims on the ship, it will attract artillery fire from British patrol ships. He advised
Give up this idea!"
Zhou Bodang spat, "Bah, this foreign devil is just a coward. What's wrong with putting two stun guns? Isn't he afraid of meeting pirates? Besides, I'm not a fool. Don't I know how to add some stun guns to the stun guns?"
cover?"
"Haha, morning everyone, what are you discussing?" Long Hao saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he smiled and walked out to coordinate.
As soon as the young master appeared, Zhou Bodang mentioned his idea of adding heavy machine guns to the ship, but Schmidt shook his head like a rattle and firmly opposed it.
"I think it can be faked, Dr. Schmidt, could you please give me some more advice! I think the closer it is to Alaska, the more capable the dragon ship needs to be to protect itself!" Long Hao thought for a while and decided to support Zhou Bodang: "
Alaska is slowly experiencing a gold rush like San Francisco in the 1940s and 1950s. Adventurers from all over the world are likely to come here, and many of them are desperadoes carrying a large number of weapons. We have to be on guard! As for the British patrol boats
, we can adopt Zhou Bodang’s suggestion and add some cover. As long as no one is targeting us, who will know that there are heavy machine guns on our ship?”
The arm could not twist the thigh, and Long Hao nodded. Schmidt had no choice but to sigh and use his professional knowledge to assist Zhou Bodang in reinforcing the two Maxims on the deck.
The modification lasted for one day, and on the fourth day after leaving St. Matthew Island, Long Hao truly understood what "crow's mouth" means and what "preparing for a rainy day" means!
Damn it, we really encountered pirates!
At that time, Long Hao was running around the ship tower with a small group of Dragon Scale players, but suddenly a loud roar came from the mast: "Ship found! Warning, shelling detected!"
It is very common to find ships in the Bering Sea, but once shelling is added, things become not so simple!
Long Hao's first reaction was: Are there pirates? Then he let go and ran towards the captain's cabin.
"Thunder Dragon, what's going on?" As soon as he rushed into the captain's room, Long Hao asked Thunder Dragon with his face covered.
"Master, see for yourself!" Thunder Dragon turned sideways and moved out of the way. There was a high-power telescope placed by the window.
Long Hao looked over and saw several streaks of black smoke rising from the sea about 3 nautical miles away. Two modified cargo ships, one about 800 tons and the other about 500 tons. Surrounding the ship, the displacement should be thousands of tons.
The cruise ship opened fire violently!
When the cannonball fell into the sea, you could still vaguely see the water column bouncing up!
"This is a 30~45mm single-barreled cannon, commonly equipped on pirate ships! This cruise ship must have encountered pirates!" A thick voice sounded behind Long Hao. Long Hao turned around and found that it was Hong Zaimo!
It seems that upon hearing the word "shelling", the seventh son of Hongmen, who has been immersed in naval battles for many years, could not hold back and ran up to watch.
Currently, any arms company can manufacture 40mm cannons, and the control is not very strict. Many freighters are secretly equipped with a few of them. When the wind is tight, they just act as freighters and encounter "fat sheep"
