Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2516: Treating Prisoners Preferentially

Pirates never bring idle people with them when they go out to sea. Only the captain and the pirate leader were left on the mother ship. Both of them were observing the battle situation with binoculars. As a result, they were blown to pieces as soon as they saw the rain of bullets.

The mother ship lost control and began to rampage on the sea. Two of the four speedboats were directly sunk, and the remaining two were also half filled with water.

The wind was strong and the waves were high, and one of the ships was overturned by a wave.

In this kind of weather, don't even think about swimming, as even those who can swim will drown.

The last boat finally arrived in front of the mother ship and was about to board when a wave hit the bow of the mother ship directly towards them.

"boom!"

  Before they could even scream, the speedboat was crushed by the mother ship. Four of the five pirates were crushed into pieces, and the remaining one only uttered a cry:

"Boss, fuck me!"

He was sucked into a whirlpool below and he didn't see it until he died. It wasn't because the boss hit them, because the boss died before them.

A bunch of old comrades were still not satisfied. This was too damn tough. The enemy was gone before they even opened fire.

The old ladies were also attracted by the sound of gunfire. Meihua picked up the gun, took a look, and then pulled the trigger.

As a result, he hadn't touched the gun for so long that he even forgot to fire in bursts, and just fired a volley of bullets.

Then a scream was heard. It turned out that a pirate who was struggling in the water was hit and sank into the sea instantly.

Liu Qinghua's face turned serious: "Quick, save people!"

He was used to treating prisoners well. Now that the battle was over, the enemy also had the right to survive.

  The ship's side was only about ten meters high, and the wind and waves were so strong, how could they be rescued? Not to mention their age, even if they were good at swimming, they would be killed!

Yang San turned around and was about to run, but Liu Qinghua grabbed him:

"Save him for me!"

Yang San looked miserable: "If I can't save him, I will die if I go down."

Yang Yulin picked up the rope and tied it around his grandson's waist:

"You'll be fine like this, we'll pull you up."

Ye Mei was unhappy: "What are you doing? My husband's life is much more valuable than theirs!"

The old comrades looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although they also understand this truth, it is their tradition to not kill prisoners if they surrender and to treat prisoners well.

Everyone looked at Ye Wancheng, and Ye Wancheng looked at his wife. He asked himself if he had as much influence on his granddaughter as his wife.

Tiechui volunteered: "Let me go down, I can swim very well in the swimming pool!"

Ye Wancheng kicked him away and said, "Get lost. Your swimming pool skills are useless in this kind of storm!"

  Ye Mei glared at her grandfather angrily. Isn't this too hypocritical?

Meihua sighed: "Yang San, go down. There is a rope tied to it, so it won't be a big problem. If something goes wrong, just pull it up."

Yang San didn't look at Ye Mei anymore, he just dived in. Ye Mei's face was gloomy, and suddenly she didn't want to talk to anyone.

Meihua stroked her hair and said softly, "There are many things you can't understand, grandma knows, but our generation also has our own persistence."

Ye Mei seemed to understand, but she didn't say anything. After all, her husband had jumped into the sea. She didn't care about anything else and lay on the side of the boat to watch.

Yang San is very good at swimming. The moment he touches the water surface, he dives towards the bottom of the water. In fact, no matter how strong the wind and waves on the water surface are, people in the water will not be affected.

He remembered the place where the pirate fell into the water just now, so he dived down with a clear goal.

Sure enough, not too deep into the dive, I saw the pirate struggling in the water. Plum Blossom's shot hit him on the shoulder, and his right hand could no longer exert force, so he could not float up.

Yang San grabbed his hair and floated up directly. Pirates are good at swimming. At this moment, this guy was still clear-headed. He did not hug Yang San as soon as he came up, but obediently kicked the water with his feet to cooperate with Yang San.

The two men quickly surfaced. Just as the one on top was about to pull the rope, they suddenly found a guy lying on the wreckage of the speedboat, shouting for help.

Liu Qinghua and others were shouting from above, asking Yang San to come and rescue him.

Ye Mei was furious: "Save me! Whoever wants to save me can just jump down!"

  Before she could finish her words, a figure had already jumped into the water. Meihua exclaimed:

"Old man, are you looking for death?"

It turned out that it was Ye Wancheng who jumped down. Ye Mei was shocked. She had just said that in anger, but her grandfather actually jumped down.

What else could she say at this time? If Grandpa had an accident, she would not be alive either. She did not even bother to take off her clothes and jumped down.

Ye Wancheng can swim, but how can he swim in such a rough sea with the swimming skills he developed in a small creek?

After just a few strokes, a wave hit him and Ye Wancheng was completely exhausted. He only had half a lung, so how could he withstand such a strenuous exercise? His entire face turned purple.

Then, his legs cramped and his whole body sank into the water like a stone, like a machine that had lost power.

Fortunately, Ye Mei followed closely and grabbed him. At this time, a rope was thrown down from above. Ye Mei wrapped the rope around her grandfather's waist, and the people above pulled Ye Wancheng up.

Ye Mei glanced at Yang San, who was holding the pirate and letting the people above pull him up, but he found that Ye Mei suddenly swam towards the remaining pirate and suddenly became anxious.

He took out a dagger, cut the rope around his waist in two strokes, then wrapped it around the pirate's waist and chased after Ye Mei.

Ye Mei swam to the pirate, feeling angry. She almost lost her grandfather for this guy. She went up and punched the pirate in the face.

The pirate was waiting for rescue, showing a smile in despair. Then he was punched into the sea, and disappeared after a few bubbles appeared.

Ye Mei dived into the water, grabbed his hair, and kicked him twice, but the buoyancy in the water was too great and she didn't have enough strength to kick.

  So they lifted him to the surface of the water again and punched him twice in the face. At this time, Yang San also arrived and saw his wife beating him, although he didn't know why.

But he also kicked him twice, and the pirate's face instantly swelled up like a pig's head, and he was kicked unconscious by Yang San again.

But at the moment of passing out, he was still wailing: "Can you give me a quick death?"

After they had fought enough and were tired, the two men dragged the pirates back to the ship. The old comrades on the ship were still shouting:

"Treat prisoners well and don't kill them if they surrender their weapons!"

Ye Mei had a blank expression on her face. She pulled the pirate up first, and then let Yang San hold her. The two of them were pulled onto the boat with a rope.

Liu Qinghua was furious: "No organization, no discipline, didn't you hear me?"

  Ye Mei ignored him, but Yang San smiled:

"Grandpa Liu, the wind and waves are too strong to hear."

Ma Quanyi followed suit: "I don't believe that you can't hear so many people shouting?"

Ye Mei finally couldn't help it: "This is the country of Suo, my words are the law, why should I listen to you? Aren't you supposed to abide by the rules here?" Ma Quanyi was speechless, looking very reasonable.

Ye Wancheng was wrapped in a blanket at this moment. Although his complexion was still a little pale, his breathing had returned to normal.

  Ye Mei walked over with a stern face, tears falling like raindrops, and then she cried out:

"None of you should come here again. Just pretend that you don't have this granddaughter." After saying this, he turned around and ran back to the cabin, refusing to come out again.

Yang San smiled apologetically, not knowing what to say. He felt like chasing after him.

Yang Yulin complained: "Why did the two pirates save him? They made my granddaughter-in-law unhappy and almost got Old Ye killed."

Liu Qinghua said earnestly: "No matter where we are, we are all members of the Corps, we are soldiers, and we must abide by military discipline!"

  Everyone was silent, and Yang Yulin didn't say anything. But Meihua muttered:

"The lives of a few pirates are not as valuable as the lives of my old Ye and granddaughter."

Liu Qinghua opened his mouth but said nothing. He had no way to refute what was said, but he was sure it was wrong and he just didn't want to argue with the woman.

If Ye Wancheng said this, he would definitely criticize it seriously because some things were already engraved in his bones.

The two pirates were huddled together on the deck. Ma Quanyi was educating them. It didn't matter if they couldn't speak the language, as there was a translator.

Marseille has no shortage of Chinese translators today, because when Marseille was founded, the first batch of Chinese businessmen have now become leaders in various fields, and many have begun to monopolize industries.

This has resulted in Chinese becoming the second language of the Maasai people, and this has also permeated into the Tuva tribe.

With the Tuva tribe's submission, Chinese will definitely become their second language.

The Chinese are one of the most resilient peoples in the world; they can be found wherever there are humans.

They are hardworking and tenacious, and will survive well no matter where they are.

This nation has a strong sense of crisis, and compared with those races with a high sense of happiness, they live a very tiring life.

This kind of tiredness is the desire and pursuit for tomorrow, which is nothing more than to make one's future and descendants live better.

The so-called high sense of happiness is nothing more than living day by day without considering what will happen tomorrow.

  Ma Quanyi's teachings were earnest and heartfelt. The two captives' eyes rolled around as they listened. Later, one of the pirates asked:

"I'm very hungry, can you let me eat something first?"

Ma Quanyi agreed without hesitation and asked someone to bring bread and water.

Another pirate took two bites of bread and frowned: "Do you have any wine? This has no taste."

  Ma Quanyi was about to ask someone to fetch it when Tiechui slapped him in the face, knocking out two of his teeth. Then he stared with his big eyes and asked:

"What else do you want to do?"

The pirate picked up the bread from the ground and began to eat it desperately, completely ignoring the blood gushing out of his mouth.

Tiechui asked again: "Does it smell?"

The pirate's mouth was full of bread and he couldn't speak at all. He just nodded desperately, kicked the hammer again and left.

  In Ye Mei's room, she was crying like a tearful person. Yang San was so heartbroken that he didn't know what to do.

Ye Mei cried and complained: "A bunch of old antiques, what's the point of treating the prisoners well? I don't believe that those two damn guys are more important than grandpa's life and yours and mine."

"How nice of them, all of them are so righteous, but they don't think about the fact that if we die and exchange the lives of two pirates, will they feel comfortable?"

Yang San didn't know how to explain it. After all, he had been in Junken City for many years and was familiar with the rules there.

  But for a child like Ye Mei who has always lived in the United States, these principles are definitely not applicable.

"They are all old children who like to show off their presence. We can't be angry with them, right?"

Originally Ye Mei was filled with righteous indignation, but this sentence suddenly made her stunned for a moment, and then she suddenly laughed.

"They're just like grandparents, right?"

Yang San nodded quickly: "Of course, when they were young, they coaxed us. Now that they are old, we have to coax them."

"Look at Uncle Ye, look at my dad, they are much better than us, right? Grandpa and grandma beat them and scold them whenever they want."

Ye Mei wiped her tears embarrassedly: "I was ignorant."

Yang San quickly explained: "How could my wife be so ignorant? You are anxious because Grandpa and I are your closest relatives. If it was just you who went down to save people, you would definitely not be angry."

Ye Mei leaned into Yang San's arms and said, "Why are you so talkative?"

Yang San looked miserable: "If you can't speak well, you'll get beaten easily!"

Ye Mei stretched out her hand and twisted the soft flesh on his waist: "Say something else?"

Yang San quickly surrendered: "It was a slip of the tongue. I meant that my father beat me. How could my wife beat me?"

Ye Mei rolled her eyes at him: "You're smart!"

The two of them came out of the cabin playing and laughing. Meihua had already taken Ye Wancheng to rest. Old John and Liu Xiangdong did not dare to come out. They were afraid of death in this situation.

Liu Qinghua, Ma Quanyi, Xi Dehe, and Yang Yulin gathered together. What happened just now dealt them a heavy blow.

  They treated me well for a long time, but they were taking advantage of me and were not satisfied with the food I gave them. They even wanted more wine, which pissed off Silly Hammer. Are they wrong?

Yang Yulin concluded: "It is our policy to treat prisoners well, but I guess it doesn't apply here."

Xi Dehe agrees: "Some people just have to resort to violence. Appeasement will only make them worse!"

Liu Qinghua sighed: "Although I don't think I'm wrong, I still have to apologize to Miss Ye Mei. She is the queen after all, and we are just guests."

  Yu Laogui nodded and said in a muffled voice:

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do. We are just guests."

After saying this, they quickly immersed themselves in the joy of victory along with everyone else.

Although they were soldiers in the Corps, few of them had ever fought in a war. They didn't expect that their first battle in their lives would be against pirates on a ship, and it was effortless.

Carpenter Li raised his hand and said, "Captain, why don't we not go to Suo Country for now? It's so much fun on this ship. We can also fight pirates while we're here."

Yang Yulin said to him rudely: "Did you fire a shot? You hid in the back and loaded the bullets, and you didn't even dare to open your eyes. If another group came, you would be so scared that you would hide in the cabin!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Carpenter Li muttered, "It's not just me. Liu An can't even suppress bullets."

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again. At this time, there was a roar in the sky and a helicopter was hovering above them.

Then a rope ladder was sent down, and Yang Geyong and Ye Yuze slid down from it. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone was safe.

It's the end of the month, where are the tickets?
