"It's bad, boss! The brothers who went out are all dead!"
On an unknown island in the East Indies, a Chinese pirate hurried into the wooden house and said in an urgent voice.
"How are you so panicked? You didn't see me and the bosses discussing important matters!" Wang Luoba habitually scolded his subordinates who acted rashly. Before he finished speaking, he reacted and said in disbelief, "You
What the hell are you talking about? Two or three hundred brothers are all in the hands of the Han people?"
"This is absolutely impossible!" The expression on Wang Luoba's face changed.
Putting down the wine glass that was on his lips, he said in shock, "Taiping Island is only a palm-sized place. The Han people have at most fifty or sixty standing soldiers on the island. And the brothers we sent out have two to three hundred people. Even if we can't defeat them,
It is impossible for the whole army to be annihilated on Taiping Island!"
The more Wang Luoba thought about it, the more he couldn't believe his subordinate's report. He said fiercely, "The second master has only been out for two days. Maybe he didn't come back in time because of a storm. If you dare to spread rumors, I will kill you immediately!"
"The big master, the little one is wronged. Even if he had ten more courages, the little one wouldn't dare to deceive the big master!"
"Don't you fucking keep whining,
Tell me quickly, what is going on!"
Wang Luoba's face was full of murderous intent and he said anxiously.
"Yesterday morning, according to the instructions of the boss, I took more than 20 brothers disguised as fishermen and went to Taiping Island to find out the news. When I got close to Taiping Island, I found that the Han people were trying more than ten captured brothers, and in Taiping
On the island, I also saw the bodies of more than a hundred brothers who were beaten to death..."
The pirate gangster nervously recounted the news he had learned. From time to time he raised his head and watched Wang Luoba's expression vigilantly, fearing that he would be unhappy and kill him.
"How is the situation of the second master? Have you seen the second master on the island?"
Wang Luoba impatiently interrupted the pirate gangster's words and asked.
"I carefully explored the island and found no trace of the second master."
"Didn't you find the figure of the second master?" Wang Luoba gradually believed the news that the pirates sent out were wiped out. At the same time, after having to accept the reality that his forces suffered heavy losses, his mood gradually stabilized and he began to consider attacking Taiping Island.
The aftermath of failure.
Dozens of ordinary minions were captured by Han troops, which would not have a great impact on Wang Luoba's forces. However, the second leader was second only to Wang Luoba in strength among the pirates. If he had not died in the battle,
Instead, he was captured by Han troops, which would be a major blow to Wang Luoba's pirate power.
The deeper Wang Luoba thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Then he looked at the messenger who was standing cautiously below, and quickly made up his mind and said, "Chen San, I will give you three days to take your brothers and go to sea immediately.
No matter whether the second boss is dead or alive, we must find him!"
"I understand, little one."
The pirates wiped the cold sweat from their heads and carefully exited the cabin.
After the pirates left, the cabin was quiet for a while. Then after a while, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes broke the silence and said, "Master Wang, your people have suffered a lot. They attacked the Han fleet and robbed the shipyard workers of Jiangnan Shipyard."
Do you think you should do it or not?"
"Everything I spit out is like a nail. I, Wang Luoba, have never gone back on anything I promised."
Wang Luoba stood up and sneered, "Although the loss of two to three hundred brothers is not small, I, Wang Luoba, have more than a thousand brothers. I can afford this loss, and there are more than 100 people who participated in the ambush of the Han fleet."
My family, Wang Luoba,
More than ten Chinese Kapitan leaders, including Kapitan Zheng Jinggui from Perak, Yap Ah Lai from Kapitan from Kuala Lumpur, and Tang En from Negeri Sembilan, all agreed to cooperate.
With the cooperation of more than a dozen Chinese Kapitans and all the great masters, can’t they still deal with a fleet of Han’s transport fleets?”
Naturally, Wang Luoba's obvious intention to provoke others could not be hidden from the other pirate leaders in the cabin. As soon as he finished speaking, a pirate leader stood up and retorted, "The National Defense Forces have eight gunboats and twenty-four steam-armed merchant ships in Southeast Asia.
The strength is much higher than that of us and more than ten Kapitans.
Moreover, the current situation of the Wang family is not as good as that of previous years. Without steamships and cannons, even if our ships are several times more than those of the National Defense Force, we cannot defeat them.
So in my opinion, it is better for us to guard our own territory honestly and not get involved in the grievances between the foreign devils and the National Defense Forces."
"What Brother Liu Wu said is wrong. Our maritime powers are integrated into each other. Without mutual cooperation, we would have been swallowed up by the Dutch and British and nothing would be left."
Another dark and fat pirate leader said with a shrewd smile on his face, "Since the National Defense Force came to Nanyang, we have been able to rob fewer and fewer cargo ships every year, and the protection money we received is not as much as in previous years, and brothers
They tied their heads to their belts and followed us to make a living by licking blood from the tip of a knife, not just to make some money, but the National Defense Force was good. After arriving in Nanyang, they set many rules themselves. Their transport fleet cannot be robbed. Ordinary Chinese
You can't rob, you can't rob the Chinese businessmen who are protected by them. A large circle of regulations has been established, and more than half of the livelihood of the brothers has been cut off by them. If we continue to live like this, we don't have to deal with foreigners and the National Defense Forces. In a few years, brother
We all should follow the northwest wind."
The fat black pirate slowed down his speech and quietly observed everyone's reactions as he continued, "So, it's not that we actively made enemies of the National Defense Forces, but that the National Defense Forces did not allow our brothers to survive.
Our ancestors all said that destroying people's wealth is like killing their parents. Since the National Defense Forces won't make it easy for us, you bosses don't need to be polite to them. You gathered your brothers from all walks of life and robbed the Han Dynasty transport ship according to the arrangement of the foreign devil Kirby.
It is much better for the boatmen on the team to live a happy and comfortable life for a while than to hide in the woods on a deserted island and suffer every day."
"Everyone has heard what Mr. Xie said. Let me remind you a few more words."
Wang Luoba continued what the fat black pirate leader said, "First, according to the news I received, the daughter of the Lord of Songkhla is about to marry the King of Han. The National Defense Force will allocate more than half of its maritime power in Southeast Asia to escort the daughter of the Lord of Songkhla to South America.
, so when it sets off two weeks later, the escort force of the Han fleet transporting shipmen will be greatly weakened, and the probability of success of the operation is very high.
Second, news came from the foreign devil Kirby. Two weeks later, eight hundred Jiangnan female textile workers' unions and 227 Jiangnan shipyard shipyards set out together. When the time comes, the brothers seize the transport fleet, and those delicate female textile workers
It's up to you all to do whatever you want.
Third: The personal representative of the Dutch Governor Van Lansberg promised that as long as we complete the mission of attacking the Chinese transport fleet, they will delineate several unowned lands in Borneo as the private territories of each family in the future.
.
Dear bosses, the conditions offered by the Dutchman and the foreigner Kirby are not low, I hope everyone will consider it carefully and not waste this great opportunity."
Under Wang Luoba's hard persuasion, more than a dozen pirate leaders quickly expressed their stance and decided to participate in the attack on the National Defense Forces' transport fleet, while the remaining four or five pirate forces of medium strength still did not express their stance.
"The attack on the Wehrmacht transport fleet was supported by the Dutch, and after the operation was successful, all the transport fleets were captured by us, and the Wehrmacht would not know which force participated in the attack, so you don't have to worry about the Wehrmacht's retaliation."
Wang Luoba continued to persuade.
"Master Wang has found a good way for everyone to make a fortune. We can't miss it in vain. Sun Jiu is willing to take Master Wang as the leader and take part in the action!"
Under Wang Luoba's instigation, the last few pirate leaders quickly expressed their intention to join, and the pirate leader Liu Wu, who was the first to object, agreed after seeing that everyone agreed.
