Blackstone Code Chapter 673: running
The feeling of sailing on the sea is sometimes not very good, especially for some people who are prone to seasickness.
The person in charge of staring at the money is now pale and clutching the handrail of the ship's side, and his fingers can almost make a few holes in the steel plate.
After the vomited **** was pressed down again, he glanced at an officer standing not far away, and leaned over, "You must keep the money!"
His expression was a little grim, partly because the swaying waves made his vomit that had just subsided and his head tilted up again uneasy, and partly because the money could not be lost.
It looks as if all parties have contributed some of the money, but in fact it was all from Meghan's consortium.
Sauron paid 5 million, but this money is actually equal to pre-payment for the later period, in the final analysis, it is still the Megan consortium.
The federal government also provided 3 million, but the 3 million was originally an export subsidy for some subsidiaries of the Megan Consortium. Now this money has been moved here, and then those of the Megan Consortium can enjoy financial Subsidized goods will not enjoy financial subsidies when they go out of the customs, until the subsidy that should be issued reaches 3 million.
In addition to the eight million they paid for themselves, it can be said that the money is basically all the Meghan consortium's own money.
In fact, they are trying to reduce the financial pressure on the consortium's books.
In the eyes of the board of directors of the Megan Foundation, it is just a group of crew members, and some commodities made from deposited raw materials. These things are not worth 16 million at all.
They would even prefer that all these people die, and then go door to door to give a high pension, 100,000 people are in place and in place, how much money can this cost, why are these people worth 1,600 now million?
Before this guy came, the people in the board of directors had been telling him that he must be optimistic about the money. When necessary, people and goods can be discarded, but the money cannot be lost.
The officer gave him a sidelong glance, and said solemnly, "Do your best!" The expression on his face already explained the situation, it was a kind of disgust, a kind of disgust for indifferent people.
The group of soldiers is relatively simple. This is not to say that people in the army are all fools, but that their loves and dislikes are simple, and the way they express their emotions is also simple.
I like it, I like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it in my heart, but on the surface it shows a kind of philistine identity, not including the soldiers in the Ministry of Defense.
At this time, the 16 million raised by various parties was packed in eight boxes and tied to a buoy.
At this time, the warships they were on were far out of sight of the trading location. If so many warships sailed past together, I am afraid that the robbers will just tear up the tickets and leave, although the people of the board of directors of the Meghan Foundation really think so .
The plan now is for the person in charge of the transaction to go over with the money, and then watch the person come back with the person after no accident, or return to the freighter, and then contact by radio, the navy swarms.
For the task force, they do not believe that the robbers' boats can outrun warships, and after the Navy's analysis, it is unlikely that the pirates will use speedboats as a means of transportation in the open sea.
It is understandable to use speedboats near the offshore and continental shelves. The waves are relatively gentle, but once they leave the continental shelf and enter the open sea, the waves will become particularly terrible.
Sometimes even on a sunny day, just a little bit stronger wind can bring waves of several meters to ten meters.
Ships like speedboats don't have the foundation for sailing in the open sea at all. Pirates must have a boat on the back of the island where they rest, or have a base in the island or something. In short, they will definitely not escape.
In order to maximize the safety of those taking hostages, this idea was proposed by someone on the task force.
The money is tied to a buoy and pulled by a boat. If the robbers don't plan to reason, they don't plan to collect the money and release it, and it won't be easy to get the money in a while.
In this way, the safety of those who go to negotiate can be guaranteed, at least they won't be killed on the spot.
If the robbers were reasonable and willing to follow the rules of the deal, they would just have to tuck the ropes and drag the buoy and the money over.
As soon as the idea was proposed, it was approved by everyone. It was safe, not a breach of contract, and quite flexible.
Not long after, a small boat dragged the buoy away from the fleet, watching it gradually disappear into the distant sea horizon, everyone's emotions rose.
After a while, a lookout from a high place on the island in the distance saw the boat in the distance at a glance.
Small, it's not really small, but it's really not big compared to warships or large freighters.
The lookout blew a whistle, and soon the whistles became one, and Connie, who was dazed by the sun, was kicked and woke up from his coma.
He sat up, bang bang bang, looked stupidly around the crew members who were **** in a row, wrapped some stinky spit in his mouth, and stood up loosely.
These days are his most relaxed days, and these pirates aren't as scary as they might seem at first.
Not only did they not kill any of the crew members recklessly, but they did not abuse them or anything, but treated them well.
They gave all the crew the necessary supplies, fresh water and food during this period of time. Besides, they didn't need to work.
At this point, the tone of some people talking about the arrival of the ransom payer didn't have much anticipation, but instead had a weird "how the **** did you come so fast".
Connie also sighed, yes, how the **** did you come so fast, but this is actually a kind of excitement after seeing hope, not really hope that the rescue will come slower.
All the crew's hands were chained with iron fetters, the keys were in the hands of the pirates, and then tied with a chain, the two pirates led them to the beach.
I don't know if it's an illusion. Connie's eyes rolled around. After a while, he asked the person in front of him with some doubts, "Have you noticed that there are fewer pirates?"
The seaman in front of him has known him for a while, and the two of them are familiar with each other. After all, Connie has an extra relationship with the company. Even if he doesn't like this person, he will not rashly offend him. Connie isn't exactly a nuisance.
The man in front of him also looked around for a while, but he didn't make as much fuss as Connie. "It's a lot less than yesterday, maybe it's hiding, or going to the other side?"
In the days when they were kidnapped, they occasionally talked about the robbers, such as their stupidity to demand a ransom.
Demanding a ransom means exposing themselves. Once they expose themselves, how can they escape?
That's 16 million, enough for the company to set up a group of people to besiege them!
In the end, they also came to a conclusion that on the back of the island, there should be boats, big boats, boats that can run far.
Hearing what the man in front of him said, Connie stopped talking about it.
A group of people stood on the beach, watching a small black spot in the distance getting bigger and bigger, until a boat appeared in front of them, a fishing boat with a few undried fish hanging from the hoisted net. Little fish, you can see that it came in a hurry.
At this time, a guy in a short-sleeved shirt jumped from the boat, he raised his hands high, and slowly approached.
"That guy's shirt is nice, it shouldn't be cheap." Connie, who was a hostage, had no sense of being a hostage at all, and he was still judging the people who came to rescue them.
People around him also nodded. Short-sleeved shirts were once criticized by some as blasphemous for formal wear, but they have finally caught on over the years.
In the summer, let alone a full suit, even a long-sleeved shirt would be very hot.
Two pirates approached for a moment, and then the two got on the fishing boat. After a while, there was the sound of the motor starting, and at the same time, the guy in the short-sleeved shirt came over.
"Have any of you been killed, or injured?" The unfeigned concern on his face kept Connie from choreographing him, and everyone looked at each other and said pirates weren't that bad.
Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.
The next step is the process of checking the money and releasing the people. Watching the pirates dragging the cash box quickly disappeared into the not dense jungle on the island, the person who came to pick up the crew turned on the radio.
Not long after, four warships surrounded the place from four directions, but they couldn't find any traces at all. Those pirates seemed to have disappeared completely.
"Will it stay on the island?", the guy in charge of overseeing the money is going crazy, he is pulling his hair, 16 million is missing right under his nose, he I can already imagine how the board of directors will treat him when he returns.
The officer who came to be in charge of the military operation frowned and said, "We searched the entire island and found nothing unusual. We didn't see any port on the back of the island, nor did we find anything near the shoal. Traces of anchor dragging."
"The observation of the hot air balloons did not reveal any trace of the enemy, it was as if they had disappeared completely..."
……
This is not destined to be a successful rescue for some people because the money is lost.
Not only was the money lost ~IndoMTL.com~ The generator set on board was more or less damaged and could not be delivered immediately.
But for the federation society, this definitely reflects the superiority of the federation - life is extremely precious, no matter whether people believed it before or not, they will continue to believe it in the future, at least at this moment they believe it.
The investigation surrounding pirates soon led to a surprising investigation, and those pirates may have left in a submarine!
And this exactly matches the description of the rescued crew members. There are fewer and fewer people on the island. Most of them left first by submarine, leaving only a few people waiting to collect money and leave.
It is precisely because it involves submarines, a "strategic" weapon that has yet to be solved, and the top officials of the Federation have paid unprecedented attention to it.
The results of their naval battle against Gavra were based on the use of submarines, and if other countries can now use submarines for actual military operations, this is definitely not good news.
Aware of this possibility, Mr. President asked the question, "How can we counter the damage done by submarines in war?"
