Chapter 774: Changing a Route
Before Ma Xiao could speak, Ka Xin at the side spoke first: "Boss, there's no need to go through so much trouble. Leave this matter to us."
Xiao Peng was stunned: "You? Walter and Khedira?"
Walter on the side was fine, but Khedira already looked eager to try.
Kasin nodded: "Yeah, it's a piece of cake!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "So confident? Then tell me what you plan to do?"
Khedira quickly replied, "Boss, we don't have a helicopter. The three of us can just take one and fly around and attack from high and low. That way it will be much easier!"
Hua Chong, who was standing nearby, said, "Dude, are you drunk? The guns we have on board are either pistols or shotguns. You're comparing them to the pirates' submachine guns and machine guns? You're all soldiers, so you shouldn't make such a stupid mistake, right? A pistol with a range of over 15 meters can't possibly be a match for a submachine gun!"
Khedira grinned and said, "Hua Chong, we have experience in this area! We don't need a pistol at all. Just make some improvised bombs and Molotov cocktails. Give me three minutes and I'll sink that ship!"
Hua Chong's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then he shook his head: "No way! Pirates nowadays even have RPGs. I'm afraid we'll be hit before we even fly over."
Kasin, who was standing by, shook his head at Hua Chong after hearing this. "Hua Chong, let's be frank. You must be a soldier, right? Don't deny it. You have a military background and that's undeniable! But with all due respect, you Chinese soldiers... I'm not saying you're not good people, I'm saying you're too peaceful! It's just an RPG, right? I've even dodged the Stinger several times! Don't worry! This is a piece of cake!"
The Stinger is a portable air defense missile, originally called the Redeye II and later renamed the Stinger. Developed by the United States in the 1970s, it remains a leading anti-helicopter weapon due to its ease of use and high maneuverability, making it a common sight on battlefields worldwide.
Originally, this thing was not easy to make, but due to the chaos in the Middle East, a large amount of American-made equipment flowed into the market, including the "Stinger".
Of course, the number of these things is definitely not as large as the number of RPGs in the "Three Great Guerrilla Weapons". After all, RPGs are cheap, right?
After hearing Kaxin's answer, Hua Chong's eyes lit up: "Boss, this is a good idea. I'll go with them!"
"Nonsense!" Chen Cheng, who had been silent on the side, shouted, "What are you doing? Before they took action, it was just an ordinary Barbadian fishing boat! Barbados, no matter how small, is still a sovereign state! You just rushed over and blew up the fishing boat? Are you planning to turn your boss into an internationally wanted terrorist?"
Hua Chong said, "Oh! Old Chen, why are you so pedantic? Let's get on the helicopter and get ready! As soon as they make a move, we'll take off and counterattack! Isn't that going to be a problem? Khedira, let's go make the bomb!"
Chen Chengshi couldn't hold it in any longer and kicked Hua Chong in the butt.
Hua Chong covered his butt and shouted, "Fuck, Old Chen, you really kicked me?"
Chen Cheng angrily said, "Nonsense, you idiots! Can you use your brains? You let them start the fight first? Is our ship the 'Calypso'? This is the luxury yacht the boss spent a fortune on! He'd be heartbroken if he had one more bullet hole on the boat. If they pissed me off and fired an RPG, I'd probably cry in my sleep! You really don't care about the boss's money!"
Hua Chong, Kaxin and others looked at each other. They really couldn't refute what Chen Cheng said.
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers, halting their conversation. "Even though Chen Cheng said I 'cry even when I sleep,' that's impossible. This ship isn't that precious to me... but he does have a point. It wouldn't be fun to have a huge hole blown in a ship we just acquired! And it's best to avoid conflict. After all, our lives are far more precious than theirs! Don't you agree?"
Xiao Peng's words rejected Kaxin and the others' proposal, but they all looked disappointed. However, the reasons for their disappointment were different, especially Hua Chong, who was holding back.
After all, Hua Chong and the others were also military men, but why should Xiao Peng's safety be entrusted to Walter and the others? Just because they are more experienced?
They say there's no first in literature and no second in martial arts, and this is especially true for soldiers. Just now, Kaxin's comment about Hua Chong's lack of combat experience stung him, which is why he'd insisted on going along! It was all to prove that Chinese soldiers were no worse than anyone else, but Xiao Peng had denied it! How could he not be disappointed?
So, aren't Walter and the others that remarkable? Didn't Hua Chong catch them when they were tracking Xiao Peng? And now they're claiming they have no combat experience?
Xiao Peng saw this but didn't say anything. Instead, he said to Chen Cheng, "Chen Cheng, write down your opinion."
Chen Cheng was stunned. Why didn't Xiao Peng ask him to write down his opinion? But since his boss said so, he still did as he was told. He wrote a word on a piece of paper and handed it to Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng glanced at it without saying anything. He turned to Ma Xiao and said, "Ma Xiao, tell me what you think!"
Everyone suddenly realized that this was a test of Ma Xiao's level.
Ma Xiao looked at everyone looking at him. He thought for a moment and said, "The best thing to do now is to return home!"
"What?" Everyone was stunned after hearing this: "Return? Are you kidding?"
Xiao Peng said to Ma Xiao, "Go on."
After listening to Xiao Peng's words, Ma Xiao continued, "When I say return, I don't mean going back the same way, but going to Barbados."
Everyone was completely dumbfounded after hearing Ma Xiao's words.
The fishing boat suspected of being a pirate ship was flying the Barbados flag. It would have been too late to hide, right? Why did you go to Barbados?
Everyone was talking there, but Xiao Peng took out a note written by Chen Cheng, which read: Barbados.
"The two captains have reached the same conclusion," Xiao Peng said calmly, "It looks like we really have to go to Barbados."
"Why?" Kasim looked puzzled.
Xiao Peng said directly: "Hua Chong, tell Ka Xin, who should we listen to on the boat?"
"I will obey the captain unconditionally!" Hua Chong answered directly.
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Okay, we're going to Barbados now. Alfred, you go contact immigration. Chen Cheng, I'll leave the port entry and supply matters to you. Remember to only supply vacuum-packed and canned food, and fresh water... only bottled water. From now on, even showers must be washed with bottled water! Once we arrive in Barbados, you are not allowed to disembark unless there are special circumstances. Captains, am I understanding correctly?"
Ma Xiao and Chen Cheng both gave a thumbs up.
