483 The Snake Out of the Hole

The news about Yan Shun's return is not good. There has been a pirate on the sea near Cuba. In just one month, four San Diego Investment Company ships have been looted.

This group of pirates is different from other pirates. Ordinary pirates can only make money and will not harm the lives of the crew. In this way, they will not cut off their wealth and will not induce crazy counterattacks from the ship owner.

This group of pirates is more extreme. They both want money and death, and even the ships that they cannot leave have to be sunk. They are really cruel and leave no room for anything.

The Cuban government has noticed this group of pirates about twenty days ago. What makes people helpless is that the new Cuban government has almost no maritime power, so even if it wants to wipe out this group of pirates, it is powerless.

The Cuban government had no choice but to ask for assistance from the US Navy stationed in Guantanamo.

Guantanamo agreed to the Cuban government's request and sent warships to patrol the relevant waters.

This group of pirates is very cunning. They do not compete head-on with the US Navy, and it is impossible for US warships to patrol the sea at all times. As long as the warship enters the port and rests, the pirates will wait for an opportunity to commit crimes.

"…Affected by the pirate attacks, the San Diego Trading Company's turnover fell by 25% last month and its profit fell by 56%. If this group of pirates are not wiped out as soon as possible, it is expected that the profit-making trade volume and profit will further decline this month." Yan Shun closed the report in his hand and was frowning.

The biggest problem with pirates is that they are out of reach. Not to mention that Li Muren is in New York, even if Li Muren is in San Diego, he will be helpless.

"What is Fry doing?" Li Mu has deployed troops in both the Bahamas and Youth Island. Now that pirates are rampant, they naturally have to hold the relevant leaders accountable.

Fry is Li Fei. In order to allow Chinese people to integrate into the United States faster, Li Mu stipulated that all Chinese people should take an English name to downplay their own Chinese attributes.

Li Fei performed well in the Cuban War of Independence. Bai Qi and Yan Hu followed Will back to the United States to join the First Cavalry Division of the Army. Li Fei became the highest military commander of the Chinese in Cuba.

In fact, Li Fei is a little unqualified to be the highest military commander. After all, Li Fei has not received systematic military education and is too young. Compared with those cunning politicians, Li Fei is still far behind.

There is no way. As the only armed force in his hand, Li Mu had to rely on the troops in Li Fei to protect the Chinese on the Bahamas and the Youth Island. Although civil officials could certainly be hired from the United States, military forces could not be used by others in any case.

Besides, if the US government knows that Li Mu actually has an armed force overseas, it is still unknown whether the result is a blessing or a disaster. Considering Li Mu's identity as an arms dealer, this is not a good thing after all.

"Fry is busy installing submarine cables from the Bahamas to Miami recently. Given that there is no armed gunboat in hand, Fry is helpless." Yan Shun helped Li Fei explain, and there seems to be a tendency in his words.

Although Li Mu had gained a thousand years of age and obtained the Grand Bahamas Island from the Bahamas, both the Qingnian Island and the Grand Bahamas Island were not independent after all. Therefore, as a private armed force, Li Fei's troops could not gain experience and could only be equipped with a few armed gunboats at most.

Compared with warships, armed gunboats are much lower-key. Many shipping companies have armed gunboats of varying numbers, and the government turns a blind eye to each other. For example, the Vanderbilt family, the former shipping giant, owned more armed gunboats than the US Navy equipped at that time.

Submarine cables are not used for power transmission, but for transmitting telegram signals. Before wireless telegrams were invented, wired telegrams were the most convenient way to deliver messages. At present, the submarine cables from Cuba to Grand Bahamas have been laid. After the cables between Grand Bahamas and Miami have been laid, San Diego's news can be directly transmitted to New York.

"Send the guerrillas at sea and tell Fry that I will only give him one month. If this group of pirates has not been wiped out in a month, then he will wait to dig asphalt in Trinidad." The littorals at sea are in San Francisco, and Li Mu can now only have the Rangers to mobilize, which is also the greatest support Li Mu can give Li Fei.

After the news of the upcoming "Sea Ranger" reached Grand Bahamas, Li Fei immediately became confident: "As long as there is a boat, it is easy to wipe out the Red Beard. Don't think that I can't find him when hiding in Nassau. Even if I get into the queen's crotch, I will pull him out."

In the Bahamas, Li Fei is now considered a local snake. Although the pirates traveled like the wind at sea, they still had to rest on the beach. Li Fei had already set up a chess piece in Nassau, and now it finally came in handy.

"Red Beard" is not the "Red Beard" in history. This guy is said to be a descendant of a down-and-out British nobleman. His ancestors once held a "private certificate" issued by the queen. Now his family is in decline, so the descendant of this pirate has to return to his old career.

The British, the target of privateer and plundering is San Diego Investment Company. These words all have a strong conspiracy no matter how you look at them.

No matter whether Li Fei is conspiring or not, as long as someone dares to oppose San Diego Investment Company, Li Fei will take his own responsibility.

"After the sea cavalry comes, we can go straight to the pirate's nest and kill them without leaving them." Li Fei's deputy Qin Meng was also angry. The pirates were so arrogant during this period. Every time Qin Meng saw news of a cargo ship being attacked, Qin Meng felt a fever on his face.

"Do you know where the pirate's nest is?" Li Fei's face now has no green aura. His bronze skin, his face full of sighs and stubble, and his developed chest muscles all prove that this big boy is transforming into a man.

"I don't know." Qin Meng told the truth.

"Then where are you going?" Li Fei expressed despair at Qin Meng's IQ.

"I thought you knew." Qin Meng widened his eyes and expressed his innocence. He probably didn't know how cute this action was.

"I know...huh, I want to know, can't I take the Americans here?" Li Fei didn't know, otherwise the pirates would have been lit with the sky lanterns: "We want to lure the snake out of the cave. After the Haifeng Rangers came, we will send someone to Nassau news. I don't believe that Red Beard can sit."

This is good at drawing a snake out of the hole, which fully shows that Li Fei is studying. Regardless of the level of progress, it is a good thing to have this intention.

Compared with the last time Li Mu came to Nassau, the city has no change. The most magnificent building is still the Governor's Mansion. Apart from that, there are no more than two floors of buildings. Only the Governor's Mansion has a lighting system produced by Junma Electric Company in the whole city. Every night, Governor Sean Bradley would place an electric light on the highest vault on the main building of the Governor's Mansion so that the city can also be bathed in the glory of modern civilization.

"No, Mr. Saru is there." Another dancer smiled and rotated, and sent a blowing kiss toward Mr. Saru.

"Hey, beauty, smile at me, your smile has the power to heal people's hearts."

"Really, can't you take off that damn clothes quickly..."

The drinkers who were watching the fun around the stage, the dancers' clothes did not decrease for a long time, and they couldn't help but start to clamor.

The two women were unmoved and continued to flirt with their eyes and kiss, of course, most of the firepower was concentrated in Mr. Saru's direction.

But Saru's attention was not on the stage, but on the old man in front of him.

"So, is the St. Louis on the dock yours?" The old man looked at the salad with a scrutiny. Although this gaze was not very polite, it was the kindest expression in the bar to look at people with this gaze.

"Yes, it's mine. I'll go to Marseille in a few days. When he comes back, I'll ship the best champagne." The salad was already half-drinking and looked unprepared.

The St. Louis is an asphalt ship. Such a ship of asphalt can be sold for $3,500 when transported to New York and $5,500 when transported to Marseille.

About a week ago, the St. Louis docked at Nassau Harbor and had no intention of going to sea, which attracted a lot of attention.

"Since you're already full of asphalt on the boat, I mean, why not go to Marseille now?" the old man raised his hand and asked for another glass of rum for Saru.

"Thank you." The salad came without any hesitation, picked up the wine glass and drank it all: "Because of the damn pirates, they were elusive and had done a lot of big things last month."

It is well known to everyone where the red beard is already known and it is not a secret. Also in Nassau Harbor, there are more than just the St. Louis ships that are afraid of pirates and dare not go to sea.

"Pirates! That's really a problem." The old man was frowning, as if he was also worried about the pirates.

"It won't be a problem soon!" Shalu laughed happily and threw a dollar coin onto the stage. The dancer was ecstatic and gave Shalu a piece of underwear with body temperature.

"Don't worry... what does it mean?" the old man asked in a deep and itchy manner.

"We found a security company to escort from New York, and they promised to send warships! Do you know, it was a real warship, not those damn armed commodity merchant ships." Saru sniffed the underwear in his hand and looked vulgar.

"Warship! How is it possible..." the old man murmured to himself.

"Why is it impossible? Except for the higher price, I think it's all worth it. It costs a thousand dollars per escort, and I have to collect five merchant ships before they can dispatch warships once, but this is enough to keep us away from the threat of pirates..." Saru threw another dollar on the stage, and when he turned around, the old man was gone.
