People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 28 Sanity?How can you make me rational!

As he was about to approach the merchant ship, Captain Locke carefully adjusted his military uniform.

As the vice-captain of the Intrepid and the powerful captain of the Royal Navy, he didn't need to come in person for such trivial matters as passing on the word, but he really wanted to see the oriental man.

After years of naval career, he deeply understands a truth.

The so-called naval glory is all false, and it is only true if you get the money in your own hands.

In fact, this is also the thinking of most naval soldiers. After all, soldiers are willing to give up the excellent environment and idle work experience in England, and travel thousands of miles to the Caribbean Sea to face the vicious pirates and risk their lives abroad. , Isn't the reason for being able to increase the salary several times?
Therefore, it has always been Captain Locke's regret that he has never had the opportunity to meet the oriental man surnamed Tang.

The ladder was lowered, and Locke asked the rowing soldiers to wait on the boat, then climbed onto the merchant ship, and two sailors saluted him reflexively.

"Darwin? Wallace?"

Captain Locke froze for a moment when he saw two familiar faces.

"Aren't you supposed to stay in Port Royal?"

"Mr. Tang is waiting for you in the captain's cabin." The soldiers did not answer his question.

"." Looking at their expressions, Locke suddenly realized that he didn't feel angry, but a little envious.

They were willing to become sailors of a merchant ship, even at the risk of violating the precepts, must be because that Mr. Tang made an offer that no one could refuse.

Don't think about it, it must be much higher than what I was paid on the Dreadnought.

Following the two soldiers passing by the deck, Captain Locke saw many familiar figures directing the operation of the ship, all of them seemed to be in a good mood, and the most eye-catching thing was that they were even very leisurely——

There are enough men on board that there is no need for them to tie the cables themselves.

Damn it, as their commander, I can only endure the scolding from the brigadier general on the Dreadnought, and I am busy every day, but these soldiers can enjoy a pleasant journey with a price that is much higher than myself.

"Mr. Tang, Captain Locke has arrived." The soldier knocked on the door, and a young voice came from inside: "Please come in."

The door was pushed open, and Captain Locke finally saw the legendary Mr. Tang.

In the barracks at Port Royal, Captain Locke has heard countless times how others described Mr. Tang——

A handsome and decent oriental man with mysterious black pupils, he is kind and friendly, and most importantly, he is never stingy with the money in his pocket. Even if he just helps out with errands, he can earn more than ten gold coins!

At that time, Captain Locke had only three words in mind for Mr. Tang.

Stupid people, rich money, hurry up!

But when he actually saw this Mr. Tang, Captain Locke found that his concept was not accurate.

The oriental man was standing right in front of the window of the cabin, he looked straight into his eyes, he was really kind and friendly, but with a scrutiny that made Captain Locke a little nervous.

That aggression is like a superior looking at his subordinates.

As a captain of the navy, Locke thought that his status was no lower than the nobles of any other country, but at this time, facing the other party's scrutiny, he subtly couldn't feel any disgust.

Probably because the other party's hair dyed golden by the setting sun is too dazzling like his wealth?
He lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Tang."

"Admiral Norrington asks you to go to the Intrepid right away." He modified his vocabulary: "I need to discuss things about this cruise with you."

"Captain Locke, this is the first time we have met, please don't be so restrained." Tang Sen's voice sounded with a smile in his tone: "I don't think Brigadier General Norrington's tone will be as friendly as you described. right."

"The commodore is indeed a little angry." Captain Locke said quickly: "He thinks that Mr. Tang's fleet is out of order."

"Rules?" Captain Locke heard Mr. Tang chuckle: "Whose rules?"

"This is not Port Royal, Mr. Locke."

"At sea, my rules are the rules."

These words are a bit over the top. As the deputy captain of the Intrepid, Captain Locke had to raise his head and explained: "Mr. Tang, I have to remind that even above the sea, it belongs to the rule of the English royal family, and Noring Commodore Ton belongs to the English Crown—”

click.

The small wooden box on the table was opened by Tang Sen, and the golden light inside made Captain Locke shut his mouth.

"Captain Locke, what are you going to say?"

Seeing Tang Sen's half-smile face, Captain Locke swallowed.

Damn it!Too much!

This Mr. Tang is much richer than the rumors!Compared with the grumpy Brigadier General, the other party seemed too friendly!
He organized the language and said: "I mean, for the reputation of the English royal family, Brigadier General Norrington is obliged to respect and protect the free choice of every citizen."

"Including Captain Locke himself?" Tang Sen asked.

"Of course I am also a citizen of England, Mr Tang."

"Very good." Tang Sen patted the box and said, "Go back and tell Mr. Norrington that I and I are happy to meet him and ask him to wait on the deck."

"By the way, please tell the English citizens on the Intrepid and the Interceptor." Townsend spelled out the word "citizen" very clearly: "I am happy to provide them with a short-term job."

"Let me wait on the deck?"

When Brigadier General Norrington said this, the grinding of his teeth gave goosebumps.

"Who does he think he is, my lord?"

Norrington slapped the table in the captain's cabin vigorously, and roared at Captain Locke: "He thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he has the support of Governor Swann? My patience has a limit! This is the sea, and the governor can Did not follow!"

"Brigadier General, be more rational." Captain Locke persuaded: "After all, Mr. Tang is a guest of Port Royal, and he has also made great contributions to Port Royal—"

"Sensible? How can you make me rational!"

Norrington stared: "His contribution is to take away all the manpower in Port Royal? Believe it or not, even if Governor Swan is standing here, he will never allow this to happen!"

"Adjutant, now, immediately, tell the soldiers to move."

He stood up and put the flintlock pistol on the table in his waist.

"I don't want to wait any longer, bring the boat to me!"

At this time, a shadow suddenly enveloped from the window.

Norrington turned his head and saw a ship's side slowly passing by the window of the captain's cabin.

"Soldier! What's going on! Why is there a ship approaching this distance?"

Norrington quickly pushed open the door of the captain's cabin, stepped onto the deck, and saw the soldiers standing there dumbfounded, with a look of astonishment on their faces.

He looked around quickly.

The golden sea that was originally illuminated by the setting sun has disappeared.

Instead, it was surrounded by Dreadnought, densely packed with endless ships.
