Longqi 1924

Chapter 364 Uninvited Guest

Rutgers is clear about the risks of this industry. If something really happens, he must be the first scapegoat to be pushed out as a captain.

Whenever he thinks of the boss who seems to be polite and gentlemanly, Rutgers can't help shivering in his heart. He knows too well the boss's family history full of bloody and dirty means.

Rutgers has had a clear understanding for a long time. If something really happens, he has no choice but to be honest, otherwise his family will have no good end.

The dark clouds in the sky have gradually dispersed, and the stormy waves half a day ago have disappeared. Even so, the waves at this time are still not small. Usually, the cargo ship that still makes people feel like a huge thing on the dock. In the undulating sea, it is simply as weak as a boat, and seems to be light. A light wave can overturn it.

Rutgers understands that this is just the aftertaste of the typhoon. Presumably, soon, this sea will be able to restore the calm of the past.

Sure enough, when the red sun began to set in the west, the vast sea really returned to normal. The scorching sun was high, the white clouds were long, and the seabirds circled over the cargo ship from time to time. The quiet and peaceful atmosphere was really unimaginable. Half a day ago, it was still in the midst of stormy waves.

Rutgers was relieved and handed over the rudder to the mate beside him. He turned to the captain's lounge to make coffee and take a nap. Although it was only a short half-day driving time, that kind of concentration consumption was unbearable to ordinary people.

The first mate is a young man about 30 years old. After taking over the command of the whole ship from the captain, he is in a posture of concentrating on all his strength. The first mate is full of gratitude for this old captain who pulls and cultivates himself, and cherishes everything he has now.

I don't know what is on the rippling sea. The young mate sighed in his heart that this is a fisherman who is really hardworking. As soon as the typhoon passed, they began to work hard, which is really admirable.

The steaming cargo ship galloped freely on the sea like green emerald. The speed was obviously very envious of the people on the wooden white sails next to them. The fisherman-like man on a small wooden boat still stood up and waved to the roaring cargo ship.

The first mate was proud and enjoyed the feeling of being admired. He gently pulled his anger and responded to these friendly fishermen. The people on the wooden boat seemed to react more fiercely from afar, and even shook the red turban. The young mate thought, what a simple person!

"John, what's going on? Why did you whistle just now? Rutgers' voice appeared behind the first mate.

The first mate replied respectfully, "Captain, a passing fisherman just greeted us. I'm saluteing."

Rutgers is suspicious, fisherman? Send a sent to us? How can there be such a strange thing?

Rutgers poked his head out and looked into the sea behind the boat. The small wooden boat was far behind him, and naturally he didn't find anything.

"John, we need to keep a low profile on this voyage. If we encounter such a situation again, don't do this. Do you know?" Rutgers was a little worried and pointed out to his favorite disciple.

Although the young mate felt a little strange, he, who had always regarded the old man in front of him as an idol, still nodded repeatedly.

He understands that if he wants to go further and safer on this vast sea, he must honestly learn from these old seafarers who exchanged their lives for experience.

In the sea not far away, several small firecarts appeared in the field of vision, and the scene of spraying black smoke was spectacular.

Rutgers was surprised that he had anchored at the first time. How could there be other ships earlier than himself? Are there any other safe havens around here?

After a moment of meditation, Rutgers gave the order: "Go at full speed and surpass these ships!"

The first mate on the side obeyed and increased his horsepower to try to carry out the captain's order.

A few violent gunshots resounded around. Rutgers' face was pale, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body trembling.

He understood that his bad premonition had come true. He had escaped the storm but not the pirates. He just hoped that these pirates could show mercy and not look too ugly.

Rutgers waved his hand and ordered the mate with an unconvinced face, "John, stop and anchor! It's useless. Too much resistance will make us lose more.

"Captain, we still have weapons..." The young mate obviously still wants to fight for it.

"John, believe me, this group of pirates is definitely not an ordinary mob. Think about it, can we intercept us so accurately after such a storm? Can ordinary scattered pirates do it? Humph, if the other party doesn't have the intention to make a layout against us, I won't believe it!" Rutgers put on the captain's hat on his head, tidyed up his appearance, and waited for these uninvited guests to board the ship.

After Song Ruyi took a rifle and fired a few shots into the sky, she was so proud that Chen Jiaju beside him frowned. As for it? It's just a guest appearance as a pirate, and it's not really letting you be a pirate.

Since he went out of the sea, the rampant momentum of Song Ruyi has made Chen Jiaju feel uncomfortable no matter how he looks at it.

"Insector, you are really a full man. You don't know that hungry men are hungry!" Song Ruyi looked around and found that there was no one around. She complained in a low voice, "We are not as evil as you. We can kill a warship with one shot!" Alas, now we are really miserable. It's been more than half a year, and it's our turn to fight once. Instructor, do you think we can not be excited!"

Chen Jiaju didn't say a word about Song Ruyi's poor name.

Chen Jiaju ordered his men to notify the other two ships with flag language to intercept the British cargo ship that was about to arrive.

Although the other party slowed down and seemed to have signs of stopping the boat, Chen Jiaju did not dare to neglect at all. This is the first time to lead a team in actual combat at sea. Even Chen Jiaju is not sure of winning. If he makes a mistake, his previous achievements will be abandoned. It's better to make more preparations.

Rutgers had no intention of rushing over, but when he saw several heavy machine guns on the fire engines opposite him, and the blue light was seeping under the sunlight, he was secretly glad that, as expected, the other party was definitely prepared!

Rutgers observed a moment of silence for his boss. At most, he is just a captain of transportation. Naturally, the other party will not take anything to his seafarers. It's just that the other party will never let go of this shipment easily. Boss, you have suffered a heavy loss this time!
