Hello, 1983

, !

Soon, Liu Qingshan and Jack saw a large group of hostages sitting on a sandy floor basking in the sun.

Bathed in the summer sun, one by one is getting sunstroke.

Oh, Jack, Jack! Accompanied by a hoarse voice, a fat woman rushed towards him.

Followed by a fat boy, running and shouting: Dad, Daddy!

Oh, Ruth, you're hungry and thin!

Jack hugged his wife, and he wanted to turn his wife around twice to express his excitement, but unfortunately his strength was a bit unacceptable.

This scene was quite touching, and even reminded Liu Qingshan of the romantic love story that happened on the sinking ship.

It's just the scene in front of me that makes people want to laugh a little bit, this Jack and Ruth look a little miserable.

Dad, are you here to save us? The fat boy also joined in.

Jack nodded heavily: Baby, we can go home!

Dad, you are amazing, better than Superman!

The fat boy looked at his father with admiration on his face, a family of three, hugging each other, the scene was very warm.

Liu Qingshan bypassed the family of three, and then saw the reporter friends and the crew members.

The group of people brought over from Liland looked relatively relaxed; while the hired sailors, as well as the staff on the tugboat, cried with joy after seeing Liu Qingshan.

The reporter friends were even more excited and hugged Liu Qingshan tightly. They all felt the warmth from their friends.

Mountain, it's great that you can come! Reporter John slapped Liu Qingshan on the back.

Mountain, are you here to redeem us? another reporter asked with concern.

Liu Qingshan nodded: I will never abandon my friends.

At this time, a large group of pirates came, carrying all kinds of food and mineral water, and distributed them to these hostages.

In fact, these people have not been abused, and there must be some shock.

Everyone drank a bottle of water and felt very refreshed. As for food, they were quite full in the morning, but there was no water on the island, so they were a little thirsty.

Honey, shall we get on the boat first?

Jack has already paid the money,

Leading his wife in one hand and his fat son in the other, with a happy face, this guy is really a qualified man.

Liu Qingshan decided to call Longteng Company to do more business with this guy in the future, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation.

And Ruth looked at the boxes of food, as well as the local barbecue, and couldn't help swallowing:

Honey, let's eat them again and try to save some losses.

This is really an interesting couple.

Liu Qingshan also accompanied the reporter and the crew to have a lunch, and then returned to the cargo ship alone.

I will try to bring the money tomorrow! Liu Qingshan waved goodbye.

Mountain, we are not in a hurry, the food here is good, and the pirates are also good to us. Reporter John also waved his arms.

After learning that the ransom for each of them required $500,000, the reporters were even more moved and identified Liu Qingshan as a friend.

It's just that the amount involved was too large, and Liu Qingshan couldn't withdraw so much money from the bank, so he could only grieve the reporters for another day.

When Liu Qingshan and his cargo ship left the island, they encountered several warships along the way.

Obviously, the Strait Guard has also figured out the location of the pirates, but they still won't attack rashly. If they accidentally hurt the hostages, it will be a big trouble.

Liu Qingshan and his party returned to the city hall, and the three Jack family finally reunited, but they did not choose to leave, and they had to ask the government for money.

Other ship owners gathered around to inquire about the situation, and Ruth, the former hostage, had the most say:

Those pirates are quite professional and didn't abuse us. The only bad thing is that they provide too little food!

Everyone looked at her Shui Gang waist and felt somewhat speechless in their hearts.

Someone also asked Liu Qingshan, because among the victims, Liu Qingshan suffered the most and was also the leader of everyone.

Liu Qingshan's explanation is also more objective: the environment on the island is a little worse, but after delivering the past living materials and food, the basic living security is still no problem.

As for those pirates, as long as their financial demands are met, they will not harm the hostages,

The ship owners were relieved. Some of them were thinking of paying the ransom themselves, but now they have given up the idea: rely on the government, anyway, you have to solve the problem in the end.

In fact, Liu Qingshan didn't want to redeem people. After all, the more hostages there were, the greater the pressure on the Yinbao government.

Especially those reporters, it is the top priority.

However, if the ransom is not paid, it will appear that Liu Qingshan is not upright, and he has a reputation for being ruthless and unrighteous.

Besides, after this ransom goes around for a while, it will definitely return to Liu Qingshan's hands, and the left hand will be handed over to the right.

He didn't have any losses here, but the other shipowners couldn't, and asking them to take out real money would be like cutting meat.

So Mr. Mayor was besieged by the owner of the ship again, and one after another, the media had already heard the news and intervened, and the pressure on the city government was also very great.

But if you take money, it is really unwilling, it is really a tricky thing.

No matter how things develop, daily necessities must be guaranteed.

The next day, Liu Qingshan followed the transport ship to the small island, ready to redeem people.

The amount involved was too large, and Liu Qingshan didn't bring any cash. After meeting Aideed, after some negotiation, it was decided that Rainbow City in Liland would transfer the payment to the pirates.

Of course, the pirates happily agreed, but they didn't let anyone go.

Aidid demanded: Get us a big ship, take these hostages back to Lyland, and then release the hostages.

He also knows that only by holding the hostage firmly in his hand can he ensure the safety of his side.

Liu Qingshan had no choice but to explain to the reporters and promised to double the remuneration for the reporters.

Those reporters were almost in tears when they heard that Liu Qingshan was willing to pay five times the ransom.

As for not being able to regain freedom for the time being, it doesn't matter, there is food and drink, at most one month, and patience will pass.

In the afternoon, Lieutenant General Yilmaz personally landed on the island to negotiate with the pirates.

At any rate, the ransom was reduced to $20,000 per hostage. Only Liu Qingshan was hated by pirates, and even a penny was a lot.

Liu Qingshan was also straightforward and promised the city government that he would supplement the excess.

The ransom was in place, the negotiation finally saw the light of day, and after two days of negotiation, the matter was finally settled.

On the side of Fort Yin, a total of $4.2 million ransom was paid to the pirates.

And the pirate leader Aidide, but he took a fancy to Liu Qingshan's aircraft carrier, and wanted to take this to return to Liland.

After discussing it with Yin Bao, they agreed. After all, they were thankful that they could send away these plague gods.

As for the aircraft carrier crossing the strait, this is a trivial matter. Anyway, they have a reason to explain the messenger behind them.

In this way, Liu Qingshan's aircraft carrier finally set sail again after being parked for more than ten days.

There are warships to open the way in front, and warships escort them in the back. The Coast Guard is really scared. They are worried that these pirates will make another moth, so let's go away.

And all the hostages are concentrated on the aircraft carrier. The facilities here are complete, the rooms are sufficient, and the restaurant and even the entertainment room are allowed to be used.

Anyway, on the aircraft carrier, the hostages can't escape unless they jump into the sea.

The only problem is that the food expenses for these hundreds of people need to be provided by the owner of the boat, Liu Qingshan.

Liu Qingshan complained bitterly, but his heart blossomed with joy: If you really spend a little money, you can get the aircraft carrier back, it will be a big profit.

This special fleet finally successfully passed through the Bosphorus Strait, entered the Marmara Sea in the middle section, and the Dardanelles Strait in front. After passing through, it finally left the Black Sea, the place where cows suffocate, and entered the Mediterranean Sea. .

At this moment, Liu Qingshan's heart suddenly opened up: he finally passed the most difficult journey.

In front of you is the sea of ​​stars, from then on, the sea is wide and the fish leaps.

However, Liu Qingshan's good mood did not last long. A day later, the sea changed suddenly, and a storm hit.

In the vast sea, there is no temporary docking point at all. Even a giant aircraft carrier is bumped up and down in the surging waves, making the passengers on the aircraft carrier tremble.

Compared with the power of nature, even the mobile fortresses built by humans are too small.

The wind was howling on the sea, and people didn't dare to leave the cabin at all. As long as they went out, they would be swept away by the hurricane.

Everyone can only hide in the cabin and pray sincerely.

Whether it was pirates or hostages, everyone put down their positions.

At this time, different beliefs can be seen. Anyway, gods from all walks of life have appeared one after another.

Don't worry, we will get through this difficult time!

Liu Qingshan led Chen Dongfang, Li Tie and others to walk between the cabins, constantly stabilizing people's hearts.

At this moment, what is most needed is to help each other.

If someone can't hold on, has a mental breakdown, or has an accident, then Liu Qingshan might feel guilty for a lifetime.

After all, these people were brought together because of him.

At this time, the walkie-talkie in Chen Dongfang's hand suddenly rang, and the signal was very unstable.

It was a call from the tugboat in front: the cable pulling the aircraft carrier could not withstand the huge wind and waves, and one of the cables had been broken.

The remaining two tugboats are in critical condition.

During the conversation, Liu Qingshan obviously felt that the aircraft carrier was stunned, and then began to retreat rapidly.

No, the cables are all broken, and the current aircraft carrier has completely turned into a kite with a broken line. Who knows where it will be washed by the waves?

The people on the aircraft carrier were even more panicked. Some people had already started sobbing. Facing the unknown fate, the fear in everyone's heart was magnified infinitely.

Liu Qingshan can't do anything either. In this situation, he can only rely on fate.

However, the atmosphere in the cabin was too depressing, and Liu Qingshan still shouted loudly: Don't worry, our aircraft carrier will definitely not sink anyway.

As long as there is life, I guarantee that everyone can return to their hometown safely!

These words still played a role, and everyone's emotions gradually stabilized: Yes, only life is the most important.

Only at this moment, the fame and fortune that used to be chased every day, will be completely abandoned.

Aidid also found out with conscience: If you can escape safely this time, I will pay back all your ransom!

There was a burst of cheers in the cabin. The money had been paid by the Turkish government. If the pirates returned them, it would be equivalent to earning 20,000 US dollars.

Aidid snorted twice: Don't be too happy, wait until we get out of trouble.

Liu Qingshan also leaned forward: Mr. Aideed, will the half a million for each of our group be refunded?

Dream. Aidid's mouth was still tough, but he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

It's not fair. For everyone's sake, it's okay to return half of it.

Liu Qingshan said pitifully, so that everyone couldn't help but want to laugh when they saw it, but the tense atmosphere was a lot of shock.

The hurricane lasted for a full day, and then poured rain, which poured from the sky.

After the rain and the wind, the aircraft carrier also stopped, and Liu Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the scene of the Titanic was not staged.

Li Tieniu went out to check in the rain, and came back to report: Our aircraft carrier is stranded, and this seems to be a beach.

Judging from the slight impact just felt, it should be a beach, and it will basically not cause damage to the aircraft carrier.

We don't know which country was blown by the strong wind? Reporter John still had a fantasy, if it would blow directly to the British Isles, he would go home directly.

Liu Qingshan said twice: As long as it's not an adult country or a villain country.

Everyone has basically read Gulliver's Travels, so they all smiled knowingly.

Jack yawned and pulled his wife, who was several laps thicker than him, Honey, it's time for us to go to bed.

When they said this, everyone felt that their eyelids were fighting, and a huge sense of exhaustion hit.

So they returned to their respective cabins, and soon started snoring.

I can finally get a good night's sleep.

But Liu Qingshan couldn't sleep. He, Chen Dongfang and others had been contacting the tugboat.

However, due to the wind and rain, there is no contact for the time being.

It wasn't until the rainstorm outside stopped, Liu Qingshan and the others, that they boarded the deck.

At this moment, it happened to be early in the morning, the dark clouds in the sky had gradually dissipated, and there were thousands of rays of light from the east.

Everyone involuntarily spread their arms, embraced the sun, and then hugged each other tightly. This feeling of the rest of their lives was simply wonderful.

After the surprise was over, I looked at the surrounding environment. The shore was indeed an endless sandy beach. Within my field of vision, I could not see any buildings.

Everyone got together to study it, and decided to send a small team to go ashore to investigate.

But before they could act, a small fishing boat sailed on the sea. There were three or four people on the boat, and they were looking at the stranded behemoth in surprise.

Hi!

Li Tie Niu roared and waved his arms vigorously.

Perhaps because he was happier in his heart, this guy even made a joke and asked in a loud voice:

Is this Earth, and we came from Mars?

Then I saw that the boat turned its bow and sailed away like a fly.

Li, we're going to throw you into the sea!

John led a group of reporters and surrounded Li Tieniu.

Cheerful laughter echoed on the deck.
