Ma Guangming got up on time at six o'clock in the morning, ready to start the week's work and escort five merchant ships to Marseille.
Ma Guangming is the captain of the No. 7 hunting submarine of Lll Company. He has more than 50 sailors under him. They travel from Marseille to Port Said once a week and can create nearly 100,000 US dollars in profits for the company.
High profits come with high risks. Just last week, the No. 4 hunting submarine was besieged by three German submarines while escorting it. Although the No. 4 hunting submarine sank a German submarine, its own ship also sank.
It was sunk by a German submarine, and most of the more than 50 sailors were killed. Only a few lucky guys were rescued by passing ships holding lifebuoys.
Submarine hunter No. 4 was immediately removed from the list.
Four, this number is really unlucky for the Chinese.
The place where Ma Guangming lived in Port Said was called Hunter's Courtyard. It was originally a castle-style hotel. Because Lll Company's ships came and went frequently, he simply bought this hotel and made it the long-term residence of Lll Company.
At the gate of the hunter's compound, Ma Guangming met the first mate Chen Sheng who was rushing back.
Chen Sheng and Ma Guangming are both from Weihai. They were originally fishermen on the seaside. They are no strangers to hydrographic identification. They were the first batch of Chinese to board the Yangtze River and other four destroyers to learn. Because of their outstanding performance, they were selected to serve as
Captain who hunts submarines.
The submarine hunter is actually a destroyer converted from a merchant ship. The weapon system is extremely simple, with only two 75mm cannons and two depth bomb delivery devices. It is simple to operate and low in cost. It is most suitable to provide escort for merchant ships.
After all, Ma Guangming and Chen Sheng were newcomers, and there was also a British captain on the ship to give them advice. The British captain did not usually participate in command, but was only responsible for commanding operations during combat, which could be regarded as escorting Ma Guangming.
Seeing Chen Sheng panting and running hastily, Ma Guangming laughed angrily and scolded: Why should you be in such a hurry to reincarnate?
Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. The damn British are poaching us. If we are later, our business will be taken away by them. Chen Sheng didn't bother to reply, dragging Ma Guangming and ran towards the dock.
Please tell me what's going on. Ma Guangming stared, and without thinking, he asked his nephew who was studying next to him to go back and call someone.
What else can happen? Those British guys are poaching us. One of the five ships we found yesterday has been poached by the British just now. They said they won't let us escort them tomorrow. Those bastards are still there.
Let's continue looking for someone. If we don't come up with an idea, our business will be stolen by the British. Chen Sheng must have been furious, and he was cursing and swearing indiscriminately.
Calling people, Ma Guangming gets even more angry.
So when the boys were called, a group of people shouted and ran to the dock. Not only the members of the No. 7 submarine hunter, but also the No. 2 and No. 3 submarines who were taking a rest in the hunter compound also went to help, and ten more were added.
There are as many as 200 people working in several hunter compounds.
On the dock, Captain Mike of the Hurricane, which belongs to the British Poseidon Maritime Security Company, was very confident: Please rest assured that Poseidon Maritime Security Company is a responsible company. If your ship suffers losses at sea due to our poor protection,
We will compensate you for all your losses, and Prudential will provide you with a guarantee. Is there any doubt about this?
Mike was promoting Poseidon Marine Security to a group of ship owners stranded in Port Said. To increase credibility, Mike even mentioned Prudential.
Prudential Group is the largest insurance company in the UK and the largest insurance company in the world. Mike's Poseidon Marine Security Company has some background, and negotiations with Prudential Group are ongoing.
Prudential Group is not optimistic about the business of Poseidon Maritime Security Company. It is not that it is not optimistic about the escort project, but it is not optimistic about escort in the Mediterranean.
Everyone knows that the Mediterranean is France’s backyard. The French have given up their global maritime hegemony and are concentrating on safeguarding their interests in the Mediterranean. It is unlikely that Poseidon Maritime Security Company will be allowed to undertake escort missions in the Mediterranean.
Besides, the dark horse umbrella company in the industry is not easy to mess with. The two bosses of this company have just joined forces to capture the German Crown Prince Wilhelm and 100,000 German soldiers on the battlefield, and their momentum is at the peak of the Allied Powers. The man behind Poseidon Maritime Security Company
A group of nobles may not necessarily be the rival of an umbrella company in the Mediterranean.
It's useless no matter how nice you say it now, the umbrella company has already been released. If we cooperate with you, we will no longer be protected by the umbrella company in the future. If you can't hold on in the Mediterranean and run back to the UK and continue the Atlantic route,
So what do we do? There are ship owners who don’t trust Poseidon Marine Security.
Umbrella Company has already made a name for itself in Port Said, and ship owners still trust Umbrella Company. The order that Mike took in the morning was from a British ship owner. If Mike hadn't taken the initiative to lower the price, the ship owner would not have cooperated with Mike.
.
Just when Mike said these words, several ship owners were obviously tempted, but after hearing what the ship owner said, these people stood back and expressed a wait-and-see attitude.
Mike was secretly upset, but now is not the time to pretend to be a boss. He must first establish the confidence of these ship owners in Poseidon Maritime Security Company: You can rest assured that since we are here, we have no intention of leaving. The umbrella will take over them
We undertake our business without interfering with each other.
It’s true that you can’t leave, but it’s not that we don’t interfere with each other. You’ve robbed our business and already touched my cheese. Are you thinking of fair competition now? With a rough voice, Ma Guangming separated everyone, stood in front of Mike, and said fiercely
He growled at Mike: Now, take your boat and get out of Port Said, or I will throw you out of Port Said. You can choose for yourself.
The Chinese who have been transformed by Qin Zhiyuan are now extremely aggressive, especially the Chinese in the Navy. They are not the sick men of East Asia with big braids behind their heads, but a fighting nation who fight over disagreements.
Perhaps because there are many British people on warships, the Chinese sailors are more or less fluent in English, and Ma Guangming is obviously the leader.
Hey, people of the Republic of China, pay attention to your attitude. This is Europe, not your Far East. This is the land of civilized people, not a place for you to act arrogantly. Max is very angry.
In just a short while, a large circle of people had gathered on the pier. There were more than 200 Chinese people wearing uniforms. A dozen British people saw that the situation was not good and were retreating one after another. No one dared to stand forward.
The first bird.
People from the Republic of China, hahaha, I already knew you would say this. You see clearly, I am an upright Frenchman and a member of the French Republic. Come on, Ma Guangming continues his evil behavior.
It's really rude. Even if you put on a suit, you still can't become civilized people. Mike already felt guilty and said something to prepare to turn around and leave.
English is actually a very inaccurate language. Many English words have ambiguities. For example, civil, this word can be understood as civilized or non-barbaric. In fact, there is a big difference between the two meanings.
Today, I will show you the savage one. Ma Guangming just wanted to make a big deal today. He took off his clothes and threw them to his nephew. He howled at the top of his lungs and came up: Brothers, copy the guy.
