Chapter 475
"Boss, can we make at least 100,000 US dollars from this trip? said the first mate
"Yes, the freight cost alone is 80,000 US troops. In addition, we also packed so much food, which is a hot commodity in the Empire where the sun never sets, and it is easy to earn one hundred thousand US dollars. When we arrive at the Empire where the sun never sets, and then return, we can also load up a group of Anglo-Saxons who are preparing to flee to the Kingdom of Eagle Sauce or the Kingdom of Maple Leaf. The ticket is not expensive, just one hundred dollars per person. In this case, we can easily earn 200,000 US dollars during this trip. If we come a few more times, we will be millionaires."John looked forward to it.
"Millions of dollars! This money is so good!"The first mate secretly smacked his tongue.
You know, millionaires in this era are a symbol of rich people! The U.S. dollar is very strong. There are not many millionaires in the entire Eagle Country.
"I really hope this war can last forever. In this way, we can always make a fortune. Maybe, I can become a multi-millionaire. Of course, even if I make a lot of money, I won’t treat you badly. Everyone's salary is doubled."John was very generous.
He knew very well that what he was doing now was done with his head in his hands. If he was not careful, he might lose his life. If they were not given enough benefits, how could they be willing to do it? Is he working hard?
"Boss, you are so generous!"The first mate's face was full of smiles.
The other sailors also smiled after hearing John's words.
However, they did not notice that a seaplane was hiding in the clouds, watching the ship fleet. When this fleet broke into the no-navigation zone of the Third Reich, the seaplane immediately sent a telegram.
Hundreds of kilometers away, the light cruiser Gera was carrying the X98 destroyer and the X104 destroyer to perform a blockade mission. They The blockade that requires cruising is hundreds of kilometers long. This requires warships to sail on the sea all the time. At the same time, there are also seaplanes and even carrier-based aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers to assist. Otherwise, the blockade would not exist at all. Way to continue
"Sir, after receiving a telegram, a fleet from the Eagle Kingdom was found two hundred kilometers south of us, and it has broken into our no-navigation zone."A communications officer reported
"snort! Those damn cowboys of the Eagle Country, they completely ignored the empire's warning. He actually challenged the empire over and over again. Since they are looking for death, the only way is to help them!"Major Ernst, the captain of the light cruiser Gera, had murderous intent on his face.
"Sir, according to the latest report from the Navy Command, we can directly sink those foreign ships that have broken into our no-navigation zone." said an officer.
"Yes. This time, we will kill the merchant ships of the Eagle Sauce Country. Let them know that anyone who violates the empire's prohibition will only die!" Major Ernst ordered.
Immediately, the fleet began to turn around and rush towards the Eagle Fleet.
The speed of the entire fleet increased to 30 knots. In this way, they will be able to catch up with the Eagle Fleet in two hours.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, the sky had darkened. Although it was not dark yet, the visibility on the sea was already low.
John, the owner of the Black Pearl, and the sailors could not help but relax.
After they It seems that this trip is considered safe. It will be dark soon, and the possibility of being intercepted by the Third Reich Navy is very small. They will be able to arrive in Glasgow early tomorrow morning. Then, they can make money A lot of money.
They didn't seem to notice that a fleet was approaching them at high speed.
"Sir, it's those guys!"The communications officer put down his telescope and reported to Major Ernst
"Each main gun opens fire and kills them!"Major Ernst gave the order with an expressionless face.
He no longer wanted to intercept the fleet of the Eagle Country, but directly gave the order to open fire and sink it.
The facts are already clear. The Jiang Kingdom's fleet broke into the no-navigation zone of the Third Reich and was heading towards the Empire on which the sun never sets. You don't need to think about it to know that they are the fleet that took the risk to transport supplies to the Empire on which the sun never sets.
In this case, The Third Reich Navy has every reason to kill them.
If they intercept them, the sailors of the Eagle Kingdom will definitely think of various reasons to shirk responsibility. In other words, they will never admit it. Trying to find ways to quibble.
Rather than wasting time like this, it is better to solve the problem once and for all.
"boom! boom! boom!"
The three triple-mounted 55-caliber 150mm main guns of the light cruiser Gera began the bombardment.
The shells weighing tens of kilograms roared and hit the fleet of the Eagle Country.
The shells hit the sea, A high water column splashed up.
The violent explosion and the water column soaring into the sky also shocked John and his sailors.
Although this was not the first time they forcibly broke into the no-navigation zone of the Third Reich, this was definitely This was the first time they were attacked.
They were actually just a group of ordinary people. When had they ever experienced such a scene? Many people were frightened to the point of peeing.
"Oh, God! It's the Germans, they're attacking us!"
"Damn it, our ships are just ordinary merchant ships, why are they opening fire on us? Are they going to massacre civilians? Foreign civilians overseas!"
"God, please save us, I don’t want to die!"
The sailors all screamed.
Everyone no longer has the joy of making money, only the fear that their lives are coming to an end.
"Bastard, how could this happen? How could the damn Third Reich navy just open fire on us without asking? Aren't they afraid of causing international disputes? We are from Yingjiang country!"John was also completely frightened.
Originally, in his opinion, even if they were intercepted by the Third Reich Navy, they could easily escape by virtue of their identity as Taikoo countrymen. At worst, they would just claim to have lost their way.
But now, the third The three imperial navies didn't even give them a chance to explain!
"Boss, what should we do now?"The first mate was already panicking.
"Send a telegram to the Third Reich Navy immediately, identify yourself to them, and ask them to stop attacking!" John ordered
"Yes, boss!"The first mate nodded.
But suddenly, there was a violent explosion on the ship.
A 150mm shell was seen hitting the Black Pearl. The fragile hull was penetrated on the spot, the shell exploded, and a raging fire broke out._Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
