Soon, as the video became popular, Wanlong Temple also became the object of enthusiastic pursuit by netizens around the world.
Many people who had no feelings for mercenary organizations before, or even had some disgust with them, were now ignited by Wanlongdian's actions and praised Wanlongdian highly.
This allowed Wanlong Palace to instantly gain a large number of fans from passers-by, and also quickly increased their reputation.
On the Internet, there were even collective joint signatures from many netizens.
They asked Wanlong Palace to completely annihilate these tyrannical pirates, so that pirates, a group that should have disappeared from civilized society long ago, completely withdraw from the stage of history.
In the past few decades, pirates in the Gulf of Aden have been repeatedly banned, and as the Gulf of Aden is the throat of sea transportation, there is no alternative, so the whole world has no way to deal with these pirates.
However, Wanlong Palace's performance today gave many people hope.
Ye Chen originally thought that it would take at least a year or two for Wanlong Palace to gradually clear up his name.
But today's high praise for Wanlongdian on the Internet made him realize that it is actually very simple for Wanlongdian to clear his name. He only needs to find a heinous bad guy as a stepping stone, and he can step on his corpse to rise to the top.
Now, there is a good opportunity right in front of us.
As long as the first battle between Wanlong Palace and the pirates goes well, it will be enough to make Wanlong Palace's reputation skyrocket.
At this time, Badr, who was in the base camp, did not know that he had become the first stepping stone in the Ten Thousand Dragons Palace.
When he saw the video released by Wanlong Palace, he suddenly became furious.
I can't wait to send out all the speedboats immediately to seek revenge on this freighter.
However, for pirates like them, it is almost an impossible task to find a specific ship on the vast sea.
Angry, he immediately asked his men to announce that from now on, they would be incompatible with Wanlong Palace. At the same time, he also transferred his anger to the owner of the Xinglong.
He immediately issued a public statement demanding that the owner of the Xinglong ship, China's Ysu Shipping Lines, compensate him US$50 million in cash.
At the same time, he also made harsh words that Ys Shipping must permanently abandon the armed escort service of Wanlongdian.
Otherwise, all Ys Shipping ships will be ambushed in the Gulf of Aden, causing Ys Shipping to pay a heavy price!
He even said that if any shipowner or shipping company dares to cooperate with Wanlongdian in the future, he will suffer endless revenge from him.
As soon as this statement was issued, public opinion was immediately in an uproar.
No one expected that a pirate leader could be so arrogant. Not only did he want to become an enemy of Wanlong Palace, he even wanted to take revenge on a shipping company.
But to everyone's surprise, Ys Shipping completely ignored Badr.
They even publicly declared that all armed escort services of Ys Shipping have been exclusively entrusted to Wanlongdian. In the future, every cargo ship of Ys Shipping passing through the Gulf of Aden will be provided with armed escort by Wanlongdian.
As soon as this announcement came out, the world also greatly appreciated Ys Shipping's tough attitude.
Badr was furious and immediately shouted that Ys Shipping must pay the heaviest price so that Ys Shipping would never be able to set foot in the Gulf of Aden.
Just when Badr's announcement was released, Wan Pojun called Ye Chen and said: "Mr. Ye, my subordinate just saw the announcement issued by the pirate organization. This group of people is used to running rampant in the Gulf of Aden. It's really
He is a bit desperate, do you think we should behead him as soon as possible?"
Ye Chen said without thinking: "Of course! Not only must the beheading be carried out as soon as possible, but it must also be done cleanly and beautifully!"
Wan Pojun received Ye Chen's approval and immediately said: "Then I will let Chen Zhonglei lead a few five-star generals to lurk in tonight and kill that Badr directly!"
Chen Zhonglei's strength in Wanlong Palace was second only to Wan Pojun. With him leading the team, it would be extremely easy to assassinate a pirate leader.
So Ye Chen said: "After killing him, Wanlong Palace immediately announced that this beheading operation was to maintain the safety of the Gulf of Aden shipping route. If the pirates in the Gulf of Aden continue to go against Wanlong Palace, Wanlong Palace will
Dragon Palace will reserve the right to resolve all threats with force."
Saying that, Ye Chen added: "Now shipowners and shipping companies all over the world are paying attention to this conflict between Wanlong Palace and Badr. You must pass this matter to make all shipowners and shipping companies pay attention to this matter."
We have great trust in Wanlongdian, and at the same time, we must let those pirate organizations understand that if they dare to go against Wanlongdian, they will only die! Our ultimate goal is that as long as the freighters escorted by Wanlongdian are armed,
No pirates will dare to get involved. In this case, Wanlong Palace will be able to achieve absolute dominance in the field of armed escort."
Wan Pojun asked hurriedly: "Mr. Ye, if this is the case, these pirates will have no way to make money, and I am afraid they will fight us to death. Wanlong Palace is not afraid of these soldiers and generals, but if they really take extreme measures to retaliate against merchant ships, I'm afraid
It will cause other losses."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "So what we want to do in the future is to be the overlord of armed escorts, not the monopoly of this industry."
"The number of cargo ships passing through the Suez Canal every year is around 20,000. Calculated at hundreds of thousands of dollars per escort trip, the armed escort market in the Gulf of Aden alone is worth tens of billions of dollars a year. With such a large market, we cannot
Eat them all.”
"So, you need to make it clear to these shipowners and shipping companies that Wanlongdian can only cover 50% of the overall escort demand in the Gulf of Aden at most. In other words, Wanlongdian can only cover 20,000 cargo ships this year.
Half of them, and I won’t accept even one more ship from the rest.”
Speaking of this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and continued: "As for who will get the quota of 10,000 ships this year, let them bid by themselves. If the previous price was US$500,000 per time, then Wanlong
The palace’s escort is so valuable that it would cost at least seven to eight million US dollars per trip to justify it.”
"If the bidding is successful, Wanlong Palace will naturally escort them. If the bidding is unsuccessful, then they can only find other escort companies. In this way, Wanlong Palace can be regarded as leaving a bite for those pirates, as long as they don't come.
If they cause trouble for Wanlong Palace, it is their business to rob the remaining 10,000 cargo ships."
Ye Chen asked Wanlong Palace to serve as an armed escort, firstly to clear his name, and secondly, so that Wanlong Palace could continue to make profits through serious channels.
Therefore, Wanlong Palace has no obligation to wipe out all pirates in the entire Gulf of Aden.
Moreover, due to the special geographical location and political environment of the Gulf of Aden, it is impossible for Wanlong Palace to attack any pirate organization on a large scale. The best way is to decapitate, and beheading can only form a strong deterrent to the pirate organization, but it is impossible to
The pirate organization was completely defeated.
In Ye Chen's opinion, the most favorable situation for Wanlong Palace is to make all pirates fear Wanlong Palace through their strong strength and tough tactics, and then turn their attention to the other half of the freighters.
In this way, Wanlongdian's escort costs will not only be greatly reduced, but the escort charges will also continue to rise in the competition between major shipping companies.
At the same time, although those pirates did not dare to provoke Wanlong Palace, they could still have food after avoiding Wanlong Palace, which would not force them to fight against Wanlong Palace.
Wan Pojun also immediately understood what Ye Chen meant, and said respectfully: "I understand Mr. Ye, after taking care of Badr tonight, I will send someone to talk to these pirate organizations. As long as they don't talk to Wan Pojun,
If Dragon Palace does the right thing, leave them a way to survive, otherwise, they will be killed without mercy!"
