Chapter 214 The Ghost Legend of the West Sea
As the New Year approaches, the navy is preparing to catch some young pirates in exchange for some bonuses. The navy of the West Sea Division is no exception. They work hard at this time of year.
Of course, there is another reason why these navies are diligent, and that is because pirates are rampant at the end of the year, and they want to maintain public order.
What is the difference between a pirate who has no bounty and has not committed a serious crime and picked up the pirate flag and an ordinary merchant ship? Even if he is caught by the navy, how many days can he be detained?
The crimes committed by ordinary young pirates are almost pardonable. After surrendering, they will be detained in the navy branch for a few days at most. The result is that pirates are caught at the end of the year, released at the beginning of the year, and can be fed for free during the Chinese New Year.
Therefore, some pirates who have not made any money choose this method to eat and drink for free.
Colonel Fox, who guards the four islands, is a very smooth middle-aged man. He can handle the relationship between the navy and pirates very well, and he can also handle the relationship between pirates and civilians very well.
I originally planned to collect some protection fees at the end of the year and catch some pirates as performance. But he found that the security here was very good, and there were no pirates.
Um? Did I remember the wrong date? Isn’t it the end of the year yet? After checking the calendar several times, Colonel Fox was convinced that it was not his fault.
How to make extra money without pirates? How can we improve performance without pirates? After thinking about it carefully, Colonel Fox felt that it would be good if there were no pirates. This meant that his security was good!
A campaign called "No Pirates in the Western Sea" was held, and Colonel Fox used tens of thousands of signatures as evidence to win the title of the best navy in the Western Sea.
Regarding this evidence, the Navy Headquarters did send investigators, but the investigation results were more true than the signatures, so the Navy Headquarters didn't know what was going on?
In the end, the title of the best officer of the best navy in the West Sea spread like wildfire all over the world.
--------------------------------
The common people have little information, and the most they can find is some information from newspapers. But not everyone buys newspapers, so no one knows the mystery of the pirates' disappearance.
The only feeling these ordinary people have is that there are fewer pirates, many, many fewer. In the past, there were groups of people collecting protection fees at this time. Many people had prepared protection fees, but until the end of the year, no one came.
Coinciding with the "No Pirates in the West Sea" campaign launched by the Navy, these people who didn't know what it meant were all writing their own testimonials. This time even ordinary people saved tens of thousands of beli, and everyone finally gained confidence in the navy.
Colonel Fox returned to the office after a busy day. Others didn't know the truth. Didn't he know it yet? If pirates attack again, how many waves can he block with his strength?
This year it won the title of the best navy in the West China Sea. Will it fall directly from the altar next year? How to do this? Have those pirates really seen ghosts?
Suddenly, the corners of Colonel Fox's mouth rose.
--------------------------------
The next day, in the bar:
A sneaky man was sitting in the crowd. The people turned to stare at him, seeming to ask: Who are you? What are you doing here?
This sneaky man pretended to be profound and said: "Everyone, have you heard? There is a ghost incident in our West Sea."
"Ghost incident? Please tell me in detail." The people who came to the bar were all looking for fun. When they heard someone saying strange things, the group of people asked him to continue talking.
The man, who had temporarily integrated into the environment, continued: "You all know about pirates, right? They come here every year to collect protection fees, so do you know why there are no pirates this year?"
Hearing this topic, a person replied with emotion: "Isn't that the credit of the navy? I heard that they caught all the pirates, otherwise everyone would not have the spare money to come to the bar to have fun. Didn't we just finish signing? , have you finished writing your speech?"
This sneaky man took a sip of wine, and then said disdainfully: "Shit, if the navy is so powerful, why didn't we catch pirates in the past few years? This time I have top-secret information. My wife's cousin works on a certain merchant ship. , he saw the pirates disappear with his own eyes when he returned from the voyage.
It is said that the pirates disappeared out of thin air on the ship. At that time, there were will-o'-the-wisps, thunder and lightning, and the sounds of various gunfire. But when my cousin boarded the pirate ship, there was only a fire left on the ship. ”<b
