Pirates to the top

Benjamin's parents died three years ago due to pirate plunder.At that time, Benjamin was still studying at the Naval Academy.So Flos understood why the boy was so excited.

The atmosphere in the tavern gradually became solemn, and more and more people cast unkind eyes on Flos.

"Benjamin, you're drunk, we should leave." With a sigh, he pulled Benjamin up and walked out of the pub.

"Pah!" The two of them dodged a flying wine glass, but the remaining wine in the glass was stained on their bodies.

After all, "who" is the Navy's headquarters colonel, he couldn't tolerate such an almost insulting attack.

But what answered him was more "attacks" in the tavern. The diners and drinkers threw their food, dishes, and wine glasses at the two people at the door.

"Go away you two guys"

“You are not welcome here”

Get out of here

Benjamin didn't dodge, he just clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking.Seeing that the situation was about to escalate, Flos reluctantly pulled Benjamin out of the tavern quickly, but the two of them looked quite embarrassed, covered with colorful food residues and juices.

Why “Benjamin’s eyes were red, and he lowered his head and kept shaking.

"Benjamin" Floss helplessly patted this young man whom he valued very much.

"Are we risking our lives to protect people like them? Even if countless brave colleagues die fighting with pirates, can't they see that this sea is worthy of our protection and fighting?" Benjamin kept sobbing and bursting into tears. more than.

Except for the death of his parents due to pirates, he had not cried for a long time, but at this moment, he felt as if everything he had been holding on to was about to collapse.

What would happen to a young man driven by his faith once his belief collapsed? Flos couldn't imagine. He suddenly regretted letting this young man come into contact with these things too early without taking into account the depth of his heart.

Flos knew that he had to say something at this time, otherwise the young man in front of him might sink.

"Benjamin, we never joined the navy for people's understanding, but for justice. For the innocent civilians who are always attacked by pirates on the sea, those navy who fight against pirates will consider whether they can be understood before fighting. Will you test yourself and be respected?"

"No, they will only take up arms to bring those nasty pirates, the bugs of the sea, to justice because that's why we joined the navy."

"Why join the Navy"

"Because the pirates are there"

Benjamin's mood seemed to slow down a bit and he slowly calmed down.But Floss was still a little worried about the young man in front of him. After all, he was only a rookie who had only officially joined the army for one year.

"Benjamin, you go back to the boat first, and I will do the rest."

Benjamin seemed to want to say something else, Floss said with a straight face.

"This is an order"

Benjamin, who didn't know what he was thinking, staggered to the dock.

"Hey" Floss used a handkerchief to clean the stains on his body, but he was very annoyed in his heart.

"Sir Floss, what's wrong with you?" A young man with a sinister look came over and said flatteringly towards Floss.

"Don't ask if you shouldn't. Are you ready with everything on the list?" Floss looked at the young man in front of him.

.

He is a broker in the Kingdom of Katia and a long-term collaborator with the 101st Naval Branch in Beihai.Flos actually disliked the man with the sinister features in front of him, but other brokers in the port either couldn't contact him or refused the business, so he had no choice but to choose this man.

"Everything is ready. The carriage has transported the goods to the dock and is just waiting for your acceptance."

Flos followed the gaze of the broker in front of him and looked towards the loading and unloading area of ​​the dock. Rows of wooden boxes were neatly arranged on the ground.

"Forget it, let my deputy do the inspection. The payment will be directly transferred to the special account." According to the regulations, the goods must be checked by the purchasing officer to see if there are any abnormalities.But because Floss was in a rather depressed mood at this time, and he was in a mess, he had no intention of paying attention to such trivial matters.

After that, he walked away. Not long after, an officer wearing a peaked cap and a navy coat followed the broker with three soldiers and began to inspect the supplies.

When he opened a box, he found crystal white powder particles inside. "What is this?" The officer held the supply list in his left hand, picked some with his right hand, and ground it between his hands.

"Granulated sugar, the local specialty granulated sugar. Because there is not enough cane sugar near the port, we have to use granulated sugar." The broker said, picked up a thumb and sketched it a little, and put it in his mouth.

"But in terms of sweetness and taste, granulated sugar is several times better than cane sugar."

"We didn't ask for sugar," the officer said, looking at the broker.

"It doesn't matter. I will reimburse the difference in price. The main reason is to maintain long-term cooperation with you, sir." The broker smiled flatteringly.

"I don't care about this, and as long as your purchase meets the standards, I will definitely give you priority." The officer picked up a bit and put it in his mouth.

"It is indeed sugar, but it has a very light fishy smell." Why is there a very light fishy smell?

The broker frowned and said, "Sir, as you know, a lot of equipment is reused. This wooden box may have been used to hold seafood before. Even if it is rinsed, there will still be some smell left."

The adjutant nodded. After thinking about it, it didn't have any special influence. Moreover, the person in front of him had already reimbursed the difference in price, so he couldn't return it.

"Move it up."

"Okay, sir" he said and directed a group of porters to carry boxes of supplies onto the warship.

When the last wooden box was loaded onto the warship, the navy near the port also returned to their respective posts.The sea anchor was raised, and the huge warship gradually left the port and headed for Branch 101. After meeting the fleet there and taking a short rest, it would sail to the windless zone and return to the Grand Route.

The broker kept waving his hand toward the warship as a farewell gesture, looking like a businessman.

After the warship gradually disappeared on the horizon, his flattering smile slowly became normal, and he took out a phone bug from his pocket.

“Bah bah bah”

"how"

"Captain, it's done. The things have been successfully delivered to the ship."

"Aren't they suspicious?"

"No, I have taken care of everything and left no loopholes. Unless they can foresee the future, it is impossible to doubt this batch of supplies."

"Very well, you can come back after this time."

"Thank you Captain"

When Sanchez hung up the phone, the biggest stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"What happens next depends on God's will."
