reborn as a god
Chapter Four Hundred and Fourteen
It is a very old profession. Since the advent of free ship sailing, there have been pirates. Especially after the 16th century when navigation was developed, as long as the commercial coastal areas are developed, there will be pirates.
With the opening of new navigation routes, the maritime trade industry has become popular. The discovery of the New World and the expansion of colonies have caused a variety of ships loaded with gold and other goods to travel around the world. The interests of various countries compete and their ambitions for colonies
It provides the largest breeding ground for piracy. With the emergence of privateering licenses, piracy even began to be "legalized" for a time.
Later, governments of various countries used these licenses as national tools to strengthen their navies, allowing their countries to have an extra maritime force capable of attacking enemy countries without increasing their budgets. Later, Britain, the maritime hegemon, started with a group of pirates.
No wonder someone once jokingly said: The whole of Britain is a group of pirates, and Elizabeth is the biggest pirate leader.
In this golden age of pirates when freedom and honor were both important, and the sound of cannons accompanied the sea breeze, a group of famous pirate leaders emerged. Captain Kidd, "Blackbeard" Teach, "Black Baron" Roberts, etc. all became pirates.
A legendary classic in history.
The weapons used by pirates in that golden age were mainly short muskets and sailor scimitars. The short muskets were very easy to carry and use and were the favorite of pirates. The sailor scimitars were slightly shorter than ordinary swords and had an arc-shaped blade, which was good for close combat.
Cutting is the main weapon of pirates. In addition, they are also equipped with daggers that are useful for fighting in small spaces. Boarding axes are used to cut rigging and nets when boarding. Compared with shorter muskets, they have a longer range and more power.
Larger muskets... The pirate ships are equipped with cannons, which can fire a single large iron ball or multiple small cannonballs at the same time. In addition, they can also fire chain bullets specially designed to deal with enemy masts - using long iron chains.
Two large iron balls connected.
However, with the advent of the industrial age, the naval strength of various countries has been greatly strengthened, and coastal patrols have become even more rigorous. Pirates have no longer been as glorious as they used to be. They almost disappeared for a long time from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th century. However,
Pirates have not disappeared since then. In 1981, a "ghost ship" was discovered near the Bahamas. It sailed with full sail and did not answer any signals. The sides were covered with bullet holes and the deck was stained with blood.
After investigation, it was found that the sailing ship named Kallia 3 had sent a distress call two days ago, saying that it was attacked by four unmarked speedboats. All this shows that pirates are back on the scene. At the same time, faster ships
, more lethal weapons have turned pirates into more unpredictable and harmful thugs.
In the past, pirates generally only coveted the gold and cargo on ships.
But today's pirates don't just do it for a small amount of dollars. For safety, they usually throw all the people on the boat into the sea to feed the sharks.
"Oh, my God, sir, are you saying that your ship encountered pirates here?" Captain Tom said in surprise, with a look of horror on his face. Henia Jones on the side also did the same.
There was a look of fear on his face. After all, no ordinary person would be afraid of pirates.
Seeing that his words had frightened Captain Tom and Henia Jones, Ouyang couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"Yes, those pirates are really too cruel. They don't regard people as human beings at all. Human lives are not worth anything in their eyes." Ouyang continued, and at the same time, there was fear in his eyes.
At this time, Ouyang felt that his acting skills were definitely much better than those of those "actors". If it hadn't come from his own mouth, he would have almost believed it.
"Captain Tom, there are pirates in this area, we should return. If we encounter pirates in the sea, we will all be doomed." A deputy next to Captain Tom suggested with a pale face. If you listen carefully, you can tell that this
People's voices are trembling when they speak now.
Tom looked a little hesitant. He couldn't understand how there could be pirates in this sea area. Generally speaking, pirates now have five main areas of activity, namely the coast of West Africa, the waters near the Somali Peninsula, the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
The coast of the Bay of Bengal and the entire Southeast Asian waters. Among them, the Southeast Asian waters are the most dangerous, with more than half of the world's pirates and robberies occurring here, while the Indonesian waters are the most dangerous place, with the highest concentration of pirates.
From where I am now, I have never heard of any pirate activities. However, the person in front of me was indeed rescued from the sea by myself. Could it be that this person is...
Thinking of this, Captain Tom couldn't help but shudder. But at the same time, he secretly comforted himself, "No, no one else knows about the cargo loaded on the ship except himself and no more than five other people."
I know. How could the pirates know? No, no, I may be too nervous. It seems that after this voyage is over, I need to take a good rest.
Thinking of this, Captain Tom let out a gentle breath, and at the same time his originally nervous expression relaxed.
…
Jordan is a pirate. To be precise, he is a pirate leader. He is the leader of the "Red Berets" pirate organization, with more than a thousand subordinates. Although the number of "Red Berets" is not the largest in the pirate world,
But their combat strength is absolutely top-notch. Because these pirates are not only equipped with advanced weapons, but also have skills that are no less than those of special forces.
At this moment, Jordan was wearing a green military uniform and the legendary red beret on his head. If the skull badge on the hat hadn't betrayed his identity, people who didn't know would have thought he was a soldier.
"Boss, did the Horizon really take this route? We have been waiting here for several days, and why haven't we even seen the slightest shadow of it?" One of Jordan's subordinates approached him and asked.
"Don't worry Tony, the 'Horizontal' must have taken this route." Jordan put a thick cigar in his mouth and said lightly. However, when he said the three words "Horizontal", his eyes couldn't help but
It's bright.
The "Horizontal" mentioned by these two pirates was the large freighter that "rescued" Ouyang from the sea. As for why this large freighter became the target of the "Red Berets", it depends on more than one
I talked about it months ago.
As early as more than a month ago, a Chinese found the international ocean freight company to which the "Horizontal" belonged and asked them to transport a batch of antiques to Hong Kong. Of course, they had no reason not to accept this kind of business that came to their door. After all,
This is not the first time they have received a similar business. However, the quantity of this batch of antiques is so large that its value is simply inestimable.
For safety reasons, this batch of antiques was naturally kept strictly confidential. No more than five people in the entire international ocean freight company knew about it.
It's just a pity that one of the no more than five people is a "Red Beret" insider.
The sky gradually darkened, and Ouyang stood on the deck of the "Horizontal" and stared at the sea view in boredom. If he hadn't been afraid that his sudden disappearance from the ship would be too surprising, Ouyang would have already used teleportation to go back.
For him, the ship was really boring and not entertaining at all. Of course, if it were a luxury cruise ship, Ouyang probably wouldn't be bored at all.
"Mr. Ouyang, do you still think about your friends?" Henia Jones's voice came from behind Ouyang.
Ouyang nodded lightly and sighed softly at the same time. "My acting skills are really good." Ouyang thought secretly in his heart.
"God will bless them." Henia Jones stood next to Ouyang, then looked at Ouyang's face and consoled her.
Ouyang didn't speak, and the two of them fell into silence for a while.
At this moment, Ouyang's consciousness suddenly jumped, and a bad feeling came into his heart. "What's going on? Is there any danger? Is it possible that we are going to encounter a big storm?"
?" Ouyang thought in his heart, and at the same time released his huge spiritual consciousness.
In an instant, Ouyang's huge consciousness completely covered the nearby sea area. Three iron-clad ships appeared in Ouyang's consciousness.
These three warships do not have national flags, so Ouyang does not know which country they belong to, but these three warships faintly exude a bloody
But it caught Ouyang's attention.
"It's strange, which country do these three ships belong to? Why don't they even have a flag?" Ouyang said softly to himself. Suddenly he thought of a movie he had watched. The pirates in it seemed to not fly the flag of any country.
Yes. It's just that the pirate ships in the movie were ancient wooden warships. But the modern cash ship that appeared in his consciousness at this moment was indeed a modern one.
"I wonder if we really encountered pirates = bad idea.
"Mr. Ouyang, what are you thinking about?" Henia Jones, who was standing next to Ouyang, saw that Ouyang had stopped talking, so she called out softly.
A wry smile appeared on Ouyang's face, and he said to Henia Jones: "It seems we are going to be in trouble."
Henia Jones looked at Ouyang in confusion. She didn't understand what Ouyang meant by trouble.
"It seems that we really encountered pirates this time." Ouyang sighed and said extremely depressed.
"Pirate?" Henia Jones's face suddenly turned pale. Perhaps because she was too panicked, she did not hear the meaning of Ouyang's words. At the same time, she also did not think of one thing, that is, what exactly did Ouyang do?
I know I encountered pirates.
