Chapter 926: Pirates are coming? How can we be sure they are really pirates?
Look at this kid. He has S-level authority but he is not allowed to leave the protected door because it is too precious. It's so pitiful.
Jing Shu nodded as a matter of course: "Of course, you are also a member of our group, so of course you have to listen to me. When I saw you a few years ago, you were still a very cheerful young man. Why are you so listless now? Later, I will introduce you to a beautiful woman like you. I am sure you will be able to chat with each other."
The tentacles on Zhang Lang's head straightened again, and he smiled happily: "Good!"
The captain of the first team was called Black Dragon. He was a gloomy young man, shrouded in a black cloak, making his figure indistinct. However, the information just mentioned clearly indicated that this man was not normal either.
He stepped forward and said sinisterly, "I'm afraid it's not possible for Zhang Lang to go out on patrol with you. What if he runs into danger? It's safest for him to stay on the boat. Otherwise, we won't be able to protect him if he encounters danger."
Jingshu frowned, then asked, "What level are you at?"
The Black Dragon was stunned for a moment.
Jing Shu continued, "Oh, as an A-rank, it's really hard for you to guarantee his safety. Don't worry, I'm at least an S-rank. No matter where he goes, it's safer for him to follow me than to follow you."
"You!!" The Black Dragon looked at Jingshu grimly, finally flicked his cloak, and turned away angrily, but he heard another word that made him almost die of anger.
Jing Shu shrugged her shoulders and said to Yang Yang, "You saw it just now, right? If two teams protect Zhang Lang, it's easy for disagreements to arise. You should just give Zhang Lang completely to us. There's no need to go through so much trouble dividing him up. Besides, if something goes wrong, the two teams will end up shirking responsibility."
Everyone present gasped. Just look at that bold statement, isn't it? And he even dared to ask the military advisor who assigned the task to reassign it? Wasn't he afraid of Captain Seven's objections? And this was, after all, an S-rank protection mission. How could he make it sound so simple?
Besides, will anyone agree if you say that? This kind of serious matter shouldn't be reported for discussion...
But what no one expected was that after hearing this, Military Advisor Yang actually nodded seriously and said in complete approval: "Alright, your team is more than enough to protect Zhang Lang. If Zhang Lang were to get into trouble with your team, I'm afraid we would be wiped out as a whole, and there would be no need for anyone else."
Everyone present was so shocked that they didn't know what to say. However, they glanced at Codename Seven who had a cold face the whole time. Doesn't the captain really need to ask for their opinions when he's here?
Another thing that no one expected was that Military Advisor Yang had such a high opinion of this girl. Is this girl really that powerful?
The key point was that Captain Seven remained silent in the end. Yang Yang then called Black Dragon over and said, "In that case, we'll give you a few more shifts from now on... but you won't receive the extra merits for protecting S-rank missions, and you won't receive any special subsidies either. Squad 20 will be fully responsible for all of that."
What? Protecting S-rank Zhang Lang gets extra merit rewards and special subsidies?! The members of Team One, just beaming with joy, immediately drooped. "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Is it too late to regret it now?"
Black Dragon's expression changed several times, and finally he said nothing. Today, they had become a joke, and anything else they said would only make them a laughing stock.
After rescheduling the shifts, Yang Yang asked everyone to report the personnel information of their respective fleets, assessed their combat power levels, and assigned numbers to the scattered fleets, as these fleets would still be used at certain times.
Afterwards, Yang Yang took everyone to familiarize themselves with the official ships and route planning, and stipulated that if there was time every afternoon, they would hold a meeting to make a work summary record, and then he announced the end of his speech.
Codename Seven stood up and said, "Then let's do as Military Advisor Yang says. Everyone remember what our main mission goal this time is. It's to get rich together. If there are conflicts, they will be resolved based on the level of authority. If they can't be resolved, it will depend on who has the bigger fist. Of course, I have the right to decide all plans and judge all lawsuits because I have the biggest fist." As he spoke, Codename Seven raised his fist.
The audience said no
The problem is, after all, the man codenamed Seven is the highest commander in the operation, so he must have the final say.
Just when Codename Seven indicated that the party could end, a voice suddenly came from the loudspeaker in the room:
"This is Patrol Plane No. 2. Over 200 miles ahead of us, heading towards Vietnam, we've detected five suspected pirate vessels. Three cargo ships, two armed with cannons. Repeat..."
Hearing this voice, everyone present started to get excited. They didn't expect that business would come so soon!
The elites of the second team were especially excited, as they were on patrol today!
Yang Yang waved his hand and said, "Don't get excited, everyone. We just detected a fleet, but those sailing on the sea aren't necessarily pirates, right? Piracy is rampant these days, and the merchant ships are heavily armed."
What I said... although it sounds unpleasant, it makes a lot of sense. The pirates are not stupid. They would not put a big skull on the ship to announce to the world that they are coming to catch me, right?
"Yeah, what should we do? Send someone up there to take a look?"
"Even after looking at them, I'm not sure they are pirates."
Yang Yang waved his hand again and said with a smile: "Team Two, take your boats and approach them, ask for help, and then do this, this, this, this, this..."
The elites present showed expressions of sudden enlightenment and a wicked smile. Ah, isn’t this a sting operation?
You pretend to be rich but weak and unable to fight back at sea. You need to learn more about human nature!
If they dare to attack, they're definitely pirates. What? You're legitimate merchants? Then why are you robbing us weaklings? We were just acting in self-defense. We didn't intentionally rob you.
However, now it is the end of the world, and many powerful caravans from other countries are working part-time as pirates, fishing for fat sheep on the sea and robbing other caravans while transporting goods on their way.
Then someone asked: "What if we meet a real businessman who helps us?"
Yang Yang said, "Then we'll escort them for a while. Good people will always be rewarded. We can protect the merchants who are not pirates."
The second and third teams set off with their own fleets. Since it was their first time to rob, no, to fight pirates, they were not very proficient in the business, so they sent two elite teams just in case.
