A Mercenary’s War

Of course, Gao Yang is no stranger to the Skeleton Gang. He has just dealt with the Skeleton Gang, so Gao Yang smiled and said, "The pirates we scared away are the Skeleton Gang. Last time we were on this boat, I have n’t heard the name of the Skeleton Gang, but after a few days, it seems that everyone is talking about this Skeleton Gang. "

Antoncell said with a worried face: "It is true. On the route near Guadalfuy, a skeleton suddenly appeared. They did not let any merchant ship pass, regardless of whether the merchant ship was armed or not. Escorts, they will not try to board the ship, just announce the news of tolls. There is no doubt that if the Skeleton Gang model can be promoted throughout the Gulf of Aden, they will shake the foundation of the existence of armed escorts at sea. "

Gao Yang laughed and said, "Don't worry too much. The Skeleton Gang's approach is just whimsical. The Gulf of Aden has long routes. The Skeleton Gang controls how much of the sea area. As long as there are pirates in other places, their approach If the promotion is not open, those merchant ships should still find an escort. "

Antoncell smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid their practice can really be promoted. Now the pirates have a hard time, so it is really possible for them to change their style collectively, you know, the Skeleton Gang is three days. It just appeared before, but an armed faction also appeared in the sea near Bosasso yesterday. Although they do n’t know the name yet, they expelled the pirates and announced that they would charge for tolls, similar to the practice of the Skeleton Gang. "

Gao Yang froze for a moment, and said, "Oh, so, whether Bosasso's people are Skeleton Gang or not. But the Skeleton Gang practice seems to be popular soon."

Antoncell smiled bitterly: "Yes. All the marine security companies are feeling the pressure. They are negotiating, and maybe we will have to switch soon. I don't think they can come up with an effective method."

Bruce said suddenly: "I don't think so. Perhaps the pirates who are trying to change soon will disappear."

Antoncell shrugged and said, "Perhaps, I have some contradictions now. If the pirates change their style, it might be good news for seafarers and shipowners. But for us, the news is not so good. "

Gao Yangsheng said: "You said that the British guys are going to make a big move, what do they want to do?"

Antoncell shook his head and said: "I am not very clear about the specifics, but many British companies have collectively negotiated twice, but unfortunately I am not eligible to participate, but I think they should not be able to actively attack the skeleton Help? "

Gao Yang chuckled and said, "If the Skeleton Gang's model is not promoted, then they will not attack. But if the Skeleton Gang's model is really promoted, then it may be really impossible."

Antoncell said inconceivably: "They are all legitimate companies. Actively launched attacks on pirates, unless they are crazy to dare to do so."

Gao Yang pointed at himself with a smile, and said, "Did you forget what we are doing?"

After Antoncell froze, he doubted and said: "Mercenaries? You mean, if they can't do it themselves, they will find mercenaries to help them do this?"

Gao Yang spread his hands, his face with a proper expression: "Of course, do I still need to ask? When a legitimate company intends to do something illegal, I mean the military, then they will either find mercenaries Either pretend to be a mercenary, and things can be easily resolved. International conventions are more important than vital interests. Do you think that is more important? Do n’t forget that here is the Gulf of Aden. The so-called international conventions are binding on merchant ships. It ’s a fart for security companies that are used to solving problems by force. "

Antoncell said with a tangled face: "So are we going to act with the British guys? I mean, we are also vested interests, do you think we will be invited to fight against pirates who don't want to be pirates?"

Gao Yang disdainfully said: "I can tell you clearly, no! Those British guys account for most of the interests in the Gulf of Aden, so if something happens, they should do it, and they will never let others The people of the country intervene, and you only need to do what you should do safely and securely. Those hidden dirty activities do not require you to intervene, and you are not eligible to intervene. "

Antoncell shrugged and said, "Well, we will do our own thing well. We don't ask about the rest. Guys, we have stood here long enough. I'm sorry to have delayed your precious rest. Time, go back to your cabin now and get a good night's sleep. About three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, there will be a container ship here. You have to **** that ship. "

Anton Celer can always get a job, and they are basically free, but this is definitely a good thing. For them, it is the same rest on the transfer ship or the merchant ship, not to mention the exhaustion, But after more work, the money must have been made a lot more.

Gao Yang's settlement method is based on trip calculation, and the commission is determined according to the cargo carried on the merchant ship. Basically, a trip is between 30,000 and 50,000. The **** task of a tanker such as an oil tanker has less money. The trip can only be divided to 15,000, and if the container ship is used, the money will be more, and a trip can be divided to at least 25,000 US dollars.

The reason why the commission varies from ship to ship is because what is pulled on the ship like an oil tanker will not suffer any loss even if the pirate quits, because the pirates have no seaport and equipment to get crude oil off the ship, and Even if they can get the crude oil down, they can't sell it.

But if the container freighter is different, if you are pulling something that is valuable but not too big, after being hijacked by the pirates, everything that can be moved on the ship will be transported by the swarming boat. If you leave, you can make a lot of money even without ransom, so container cargo ships are always favored by pirates. If you ship small and valuable things, then the shipowner must increase the amount of commission to hire armed escorts.

It is precisely because of the difference in cargo ships, and the money earned will also be different, so after learning that the mission will continue the next day, Gao Yang laughed: "I like container cargo ships. It seems that we can divide some money."

A smile also appeared on Antoncell's face. Dao: "Yes. And the better news is that the ship is mainly for home appliances and small machinery, so this time the commission is 80,000 US dollars, guys."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Very good. I will find more such jobs in the future. The time is short and I earn more money. Captain. Ask you a question. Are you satisfied with your current income?"

Anton Saar laughed and said, "Of course I am satisfied, is that need to be said? My annual salary as a captain is $ 120,000. When I gave up this job, I was still worried that I would regret it, but now, only half. In a month's time, my income has exceeded 60,000 US dollars, if you count the 40,000 US dollars tomorrow, man. I am earning more in a month now than I was in a year. "

Antoncell is very satisfied with his income, and Gao Jue is also satisfied with his current income. Earning money for the **** of merchant ships in the Gulf of Aden is less than the money they made when they fought in Libya, but the advantage is that they are much safer.

When they were in Misrata, Libya, their commissions were high at 10,000 US dollars per day for four people, while in Tripoli, they were 20,000 US dollars per day for five people. Now, basically, it ’s a one-time mission of 15,000. To 25,000 commissions.

Although it seems that the commission of Dao is similar, the actual earning is much less, mainly because of the nature of their mission. They are now making money while sailing between two transit ships, but the problem is that the transit The distance between the ships is very far.

There is a transit ship on the westernmost side of the Gulf of Aden, where there is a transit ship, and the easternmost one is on the east of Guadalfui Point, and it is high that they are now on the transit ship, and the task they just ended is that they are just in Mann The transfer ship on the De Strait boarded the merchant ship, and then arrived at Guadavui Cape before boarding the transfer ship. The distance between the two transfer ships was not close, which was more than 1,500 kilometers, and the speed of the tanker they were riding on was increased. It was very slow, with a speed of only 15 knots and a speed of about 27.8 kilometers per hour. They carried on more than fifty hours on the tanker from Mande Strait to Cape Guadalfui this time, and more than two days passed.

It is precisely because of the long time required to **** once. It is about two days for them to earn a commission of 15,000 to 25,000, and now it is still divided by six people. In this way, the money earned is It is much less than when fighting in Libya, but the benefit of **** is that there is little risk. Like Gao Yang, they were almost wiped out in Tripoli when they were in Tripoli, but in the Gulf of Aden it is impossible.

Of course, **** in the Gulf of Aden is unlikely to have a chance to make a fortune. For example, in Tripoli, they were promoted to grab the gold bricks, and in the rescue of Bob, each of them can be divided into more than 1 million. Unfortunately, this kind of task is inexplicable, and high returns are often accompanied by extremely high risks. Therefore, they are very happy to accept tasks with low returns but almost no risk ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~, Anyway, based on the lowest income, earning a thousand US dollars a day is also a very high income compared with most people. Besides, there are many times that the amount of money earned is far more than this amount.

If there are no accidents, Gao Yang feels that their days at sea will last for a long time, but unfortunately, the accident happened immediately.

Just as they were walking towards their cabin with Antoncel, laughing and talking, they met five heavily armed men in a narrow passage, and they went out in the early hours of the morning. .

Originally everything was calm, but just as a few of them walked past the five people who were approaching, a black man who yawned and walked past Gao Yang suddenly stood still and said with a surprised face: " nks? When did so many nks come on this ship? "

nks is an insulting term for Chinese or East Asians, but it can now be regarded as referring specifically to Chinese people, so regardless of whether the black man knows that they are Chinese people, this is a very insulting word.

Gao Yang immediately stopped and looked at the black man who was almost face-to-face with him: "Nigger, you are making the wrong person." (To be continued ...)
