Chapter 10 Sneak Attack
Chu Jack checked the night duty situation, gave a few instructions, and then came to the deck and looked at the boundless starry sky.
The boat swayed gently, and Chu Jack was not calm either.
Lu Dali and Chu Jiahao are asking everyone for their opinions, but they don’t know what choice they will make.
After a while, Lu Dali came.
"What do you guys say?"
"The opinions are different. Some people say it back, but most people want to stay in it. After all, it's more profitable here. But in the final analysis, you have to decide."
Chu Jack also understands the opinions left.
His crew compensation system is different from other fishing boats.
Other fishing boats generally have fixed wages, and the more you earn, the more you earn, it is the owner's business and has nothing to do with the crew.
Chu Jack's crew compensation is linked to the consumption of various materials such as oil, equipment integrity, and fishing volume.
The less consumption, the lower the maintenance cost, the higher the catch, the more rewards the crew members will be.
At the current level, in the Gulf of Aden, ordinary fishermen can earn more than 20,000 more than others a year.
A middle-level team like the second deputy and the second-pipe wheel can earn 30,000 or 40,000 more.
The first mate and the chief engineer earned 50,000 more. Lu Dali used to earn 400,000, but now he earned 70,000 or 80,000 more, with an annual income of nearly 500,000.
This reward is still very attractive, and you can't find such a good thing elsewhere.
Lu Dali handed Chu Jack a cigarette and helped him light it.
This is a cigarette bought at a duty-free shop in the port, and the price is much cheaper than in China.
Chu Jack took a deep breath and spit it out.
"Brother Third, I have thought about it repeatedly. I understand everyone's desire to make money, but we must focus on safety after all."
"If you lose your life, what's the use of any more money?"
"Everyone thinks Martin is okay. He used to come to your house and was my aunt's godson, a foreigner, wearing mourning clothes."
"This time I showed mercy to our subordinates and didn't drive us away. I think it's quite interesting."
Lu Dali said this, which has shown his tendency.
He is willing to stay, too.
"I used to be in Middle Earth, but now I am on his territory. He and his brothers compete for the inheritance of the Tu Emperor. If we stand by his side, we will inevitably get involved."
"You know the situation in Sumali. Unlike our Middle-earth, the situation is stable and the public security is good. The chaos here is even if our embassy and the escort fleet cannot help us."
"I have decided that the warehouse is full these days, so I will go to Mombasa. After selling the fish, we will leave and go to Queensland to catch squid."
Lu Dali was silent.
If Chujake is not on the ship, he will be the leader of everything.
But Chu Jack was the ship owner after all, so he said he would leave, and Lu Dali could not forcefully oppose it.
"Okay, I'll do as you said, I'll explain it to everyone."
"Brother Third, I hope you can understand my difficulties."
Lu Dali patted Chu Jack on the shoulder.
"Don't think too much, I understand. After all, for everyone's safety, I can still tell whether it's good or bad."
"It's good if my third brother understands it. We still have a chance to earn money in the future, but we only have one life."
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can rest early."
Chu Jack smoked another cigarette and went back to sleep.
It is taboo to drink alcohol and stay up late on the boat.
There are no hospitals on board, only some commonly used medicines and simple first aid equipment.
In addition to Zhao Le who worked as a sanitary in the army and had some medical skills, the rest of the crew only accepted general first aid skills.
Therefore, it is very important to keep fit on the boat.
Changes in time zones and different latitudes. A trip may pass through different seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The always bumpy environment on the boat, heavy physical strength, mental labor, and poor sleep quality, will affect physical health.
Therefore, crew members are generally aging more than their peers who live on land.
When you travel far away and live in a foreign country, you can only take care of yourself.
Chu Jack returned to the cabin and fell asleep quickly.
I don’t know how long it took, but I was awakened by a knock on the door.
I got up and opened the door and saw it, and was stunned.
Martin and Lu Dali were seen standing at the door.
"Hi, Jack, I'm back. Now the Warriors are under my control. You are my captive, let's talk."
Chu Jack looked at Lu Dali.
"Jack, what he said was true. They killed a shot and quietly got on the boat. Everyone was in the cabin."
Chu Jack was in tears.
“Where is the one on duty?”
"I'm drunk too much, sleeping on the post."
"Okay, Jack, don't be depressed. I didn't do anything to them. I didn't touch them for a moment. Everyone is safe. Let's go to the cabin and we have something to say."
"Tell me, what's there to say to you? Didn't you tell me to stay and continue fishing?"
"Hehe, I said it, but I'm afraid you will run away. I can't let such a good opportunity go."
"Jack, don't be so mean. I have a few conditions, you will definitely be satisfied, let's go."
Chu Jack had no choice but to arrive at the cabin.
Sure enough, all the crew members were there, and Martin's men held guns and pointed at everyone.
Martin held Chu Jack.
"Jack, sit down. Don't worry, I won't move. Let's discuss it and I will give you a speech and you will make a decision after listening."
Martin cleared his throat and faced everyone.
"My fellow villagers, I am Martin, and I have been studying in Middle-earth for five years. At the beginning, my tuition was borne by Middle-earth. I have feelings for Middle-earth and I don't want to hurt you. Please believe me in this."
"You also know that Jack and I are brothers, and his mother even accepted me as my godson. When my mother passed away, I wore mourning clothes. You also know that I am not an ungrateful person."
"I'm asking you to stay and help us make a fortune and achieve prosperity. I'm sincere. I just want to learn from you."
"I know what you are worried about is that you are worried about the security issues in Sumali. In fact, you don't have to worry about this."
"It turned out that I wanted to compete with my brothers for the position of my father's territorial emperor. Now I have figured it out, I will withdraw from the power competition and not compete with them for this position."
What? Quit. True or fake?
This was beyond Chu Jack's expectations.
"I don't compete with my brothers, I don't threaten them, so they don't treat me as an enemy. So it's safe for you to help me."
"There is another very important point. Don't you want to avenge your uncle Lu Zhiwen? I promise you that as long as you help me, I will help you kill Simbak and avenge your uncle."
The sixth uncle, Lu Zhiwen, is also from the Chu family village. He is the cousin of Chu Jack and Lu Dali. He married a girl from the Chu family and is considered a son-in-law of the Chu family.
Lui Che-wen is a second-man. Three years ago, he and other ships were fishing in the Gulf of Aden and were kidnapped by Simbak, the largest pirate in Sumali. A total of sixteen people were imprisoned for more than a year.
In order to rescue the crew, the people from the Middle-Turk Embassy and the Sumali government, the tribes came to the ship to negotiate with Simbak.
In order to bargain and put pressure on, Simbuck fired five consecutive shots in front of the negotiators and killed Lu Zhiwen.
Simbak once hijacked fishing boats from many countries and succeeded more than 30 times. Although various countries hated him to the core, he controlled a large area in the northeast coast of Sumali, and all forces have always been helpless against him.
