Chapter 787 Hawaii Black Market
One month later.
Wally Bain, the black market manager of Hawaii Island, was listening to his subordinates' reports in a rage. Not only was he the manager of the black market on Hawaii Island, he was also the supervisor of pirates stationed on Hawaii Island by the Human Empire of America, and he was also the lord of Hawaii Island.
They have long coveted the many kingdoms in the Pacific Ocean close to Australia, but they are out of reach and cannot manage them. However, they still have some ways to ensure that these people will not become a scourge.
It's nothing more than dividing part, suppressing part, and then devouring part.
This is also the reason why the upstart of his empire would appear in such a place, and why a large maritime black market would be established in Hawaii Island.
On the one hand, it is to recover the pirates' stolen goods at a low price and transport them back to the country to make a lot of money. On the other hand, it is also to secretly provoke relationships between pirates to prevent them from devouring each other and eventually create a pirate king who cannot be dealt with.
In short, their management methods were very effective in the past. After all, they were strong and had support from others, and they were dealing with pirates, a species that everyone hated.
However, with the emergence of Gan Ning, the pirate king who unified the Pacific Ocean became a real hidden danger to any coastal area.
"Waste, all waste!"
Wally Bane was extremely angry when he looked at the records presented by his men. In the past, as the lord of Hawaii Island, he was a powerful official who was flattered by everyone. He had gained countless benefits by occupying the advantageous terrain of Hawaii Island.
But just recently, everything changed. The Pacific Pirate King appeared and defeated the Combined Fleet.
Such terrifying combat power makes all countries avoid it and dare not provoke it.
Pirates are like psoriasis. Even the empire doesn't want to be involved with them. It's useless to win the battle. Besides, the enemy is running around in the vast ocean, so it's a problem whether they can be caught or not.
Moreover, to deal with pirates of this scale, the regular navy can only be dispatched on a large scale. Not only is the cost of going back and forth huge, but it would also be a problem if they return empty-handed. There is even the possibility that the pirates will rob their homes.
If some bottles and jars were broken, it would make the coastal lords of the empire very sad.
So he was abandoned. This once powerful and influential person was abandoned. After all, with the presence of the pirate king Gan Ning, his value was greatly reduced.
Especially after Gan Ning issued an order prohibiting pirates from trading with the black market, his value dropped to the freezing point.
He had a large amount of goods piled up that he was unable to sell, and the pirates no longer provided him with any convenience.
Overnight, he went from heaven to hell.
Wally Bane is not a fool. He has accumulated a huge fortune through his past accumulation, but he is unwilling to let a hen that lays golden eggs die.
He tried everything to save it, but with little success.
Gan Ning had just become the pirate king, and all the drawbacks had been suppressed by victory. No one would provoke a mad dog at this time.
"Island Master, there is a pirate ship coming to the nearby area to do business. Should we do it?" One of his subordinates sent a message.
"Do it, why not?" Wally Bane looked at his men with an expression of looking at fools, asking why they didn't do the business when it came.
"The other party asked for 70% to 30% of the profit, and we three will give them 70%!" the subordinate said cautiously.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I would rather not do this business than let pirates ride on my head!" The ugly face of capitalist Wally Bain was clearly revealed.
He has inherited the attitude of preferring to pour milk into the river rather than sell it at a lower price.
"Wait, you just said that the other party was a ship?" Wally Bane suddenly asked.
"The other party is very cautious, but judging from the size, it is at most the size of two ships!" the subordinate said affirmatively.
"Okay, you go and lead the guards and let them bring people to kill them!" Wally Bane gestured and then signaled.
"I understand!" The subordinates understood what he meant. They had done similar things many times before, but it was just a case of thieves robbing thieves.
A day later, Wally Bane looked at the two cargo ships returning fully loaded and sneered twice.
He will not admit defeat. A mere pirate can never pose a threat to him.
The pirates were just their dogs, and no matter how much trouble they made, they couldn't cause any trouble.
Now that the pirate king was powerful, he endured it and waited for him to lie dormant for a while before settling accounts with Gan Ning.
…
"You actually came back alive and brought back so many people!" Gan Ning looked at Song Mu Yichuan who was kneeling in front of him. He was surprised that the other party was his first fanatic believer .
"Very good. Next, I will give you the second mission. The Tenth Squadron is now in your hands. I hope you can perform to my satisfaction!"
Gan Ning dares to use anyone. Song Mu Yichuan understands it clearly. He is simply following the strong. As long as you don’t lose, he will always be your most loyal dog.
"Originally, I was planning to do business with the black market, but who would have thought that these bastards would dare to send people to hijack my ship and kill my people!" Gan Ning said loudly, and his voice spread all over the world.
As the ancients said, a teacher has a legitimate reason to act. Today, he is taking advantage of this issue to see what force dares to be the first to take action!
"Come on, I'll show you what a real pirate is!"
Gan Ning put one foot on the bow of the new main ship. A huge bell was painted on the huge white sail, and a huge pale skull was painted on the bell.
Since he wanted to be a pirate king, he had to love what he did. Although Gan Ning believed that his main job was the Governor of the Pacific, since he had used the persona of a pirate king, he had to respect this profession, so he specially painted a pirate flag.
In order to highlight his temperament as a pirate king, he used a large amount of gold and silver to buy a brand new flagship directly from the Han Dynasty shipyard, which was also the flagship of the Han Dynasty naval fleet.
Compared with other ships, it is simply a behemoth, and it has all the supporting weapons and equipment. They are all war machines made by Mohist himself, and their effects are incredibly powerful.
In other words, Gan Ning was able to get this big ship because of his status as the Governor of the Pacific and his willingness to spend money.
You have to know that the main ships of the three governors Sun Ce, Sun Jian and Zheng He were only this big.
Following Gan Ning's order, 100,000 carefully selected pirates boarded the ship and cruised along the coastline.
Their goal was not only to attack the Hawaiian Islands, but also to show off their military power to the world and lay the groundwork for their next plan.
Generally speaking, merchants doing business at sea are not simple characters. It is common for them to rob each other. They all have good armed forces, but Gan Ning's fleet is too large.
Wherever he passed, people trembled in fear of being affected.
