48 Hours a Day

“Thank you, no, I swear after the war I never wanted to feel that way again.” Billy Road.

“Just kidding, in addition to us, I intend to contact four other capable captains on the island, and our six boats together will win big.” Black Prince Sam said, "After this is done, all the goods above will be shared equally. That's a lot of money to cover everyone's income for a year, which means you can give yourself a long vacation for a year later if you want. ”

“Why would you be so interested in Spanish treasure boats if you were just trying to make money and find a better hunt?” Zhang Heng, beside him, asked.

It is undeniable that Spanish jewellery ships have the highest cargo value, with the exception of tobacco, silk, gold and silver, and jewellery, and that what Black Prince Sam said about taking a boat on top for a year is not bragging, even if six pirate ships are split equally, and the share falling into your hands will never be small.

At the same time, however, the danger is high, unless the aim is revenge, as Blackbeard did, and in general nobody touches the forces of the military.

Especially since Spanish ships are famous for their difficulties, even pirates do not like to rob Spaniards, because they rarely surrender, and in many cases they prefer to be sunk without breaking their fortunes and saving their lives, in order to rob them not only in the face of intense fighting, but also in the end with nothing to gain.

“Especially as opportunities are rare, Spanish treasure ships are usually dozens of ships operating together, unable to do so normally, and this time they are rarely alone, although there are two naval frigates, but they are already the best chance.” Black Prince Sam was thrilled, "I paid a lot of money for its route from a familiar intelligence dealer, how about, interested in making this order together, if successful, we are the first pirates to successfully rob a treasure ship in this area. ”

“That's what you really care about, right? ”

Black Prince Sam didn't deny it, but his signature sunny smile appeared on his face, "Life, it's always a challenge. Blackbeard Titch can take the Scarborough, and I have so many people with me that it doesn't make sense to take a Spanish treasure ship.

Zhang Heng asked Billy, "What do you think? ”

The helmsman of the Cold Crow seemed helpless, "I still prefer to rob merchant ships safely and steadily to make money, but lately we have no other clue, and I know that the assholes on the boat can't refuse this chance of making money, and their appetite is like a bottomless hole forever filled, but since they only have three boats, and we have six, I think we can try. ”

“How's our recruiting going? Can we get ready to go out in two days?” Zhang Heng asked that when he had received a systematic prompt earlier, the number of people on the Cold Raven had just reached 70, and that recruitment had not stopped since then. Zhang Heng and Billy and others had agreed on a target of 90 this time.

When this number is reached, the docking battle will no longer be the shortcut to the Cold Raven. Although there is still a gap between those large pirates, it will no longer be as dangerous to encounter people being attacked underwater as it was this time.

“So far we have recruited a total of 26 people, four of us were killed in the previous battle, and two were seriously injured, getting off the boat with a pension, so now there are 82 people on board, mainly experienced gunmen and carpenters, who are nowhere to be found, but at this stage there are almost enough people.” Billyton, “two days shouldn't be a problem, supplies won't take that long, I'll immediately organize people to pull those guys out of the buffet and tavern. ”

“Great, I'm going to notify the others, so I'll see you in two days.” Black Prince Sam hurried.

He turned around and took a few steps, but stopped again, reaching into his jacket, "Oh, I almost forgot, this is for you. ”

“Hmm?”

“A joint letter of recommendation signed by seven people recommending you to join the island's council, sorry for the slight delay, there are two guys who are in conflict over a batch of loot distributions, insisting that if one party signs the other side will not be involved, I can go find someone else to replace them, but this will not make it possible to reconcile their conflicts. ”

“Thank you, thank you.” Zhang Heng received the letter of recommendation.

“All you have to do is give this letter to Speaker Klein, and then the council organizes a vote for the councillors, and you can join the council as long as you have more than a third of the votes.” Black Prince Sam added.

“Clay, who's Clay, the owner of Buddhist House? Clay King? ”

“Well, don't worry about it, the Speaker of Parliament is only formal, nothing happened for two years anyway, the Speaker's job is basically to approve membership or something, the real big thing is that everyone voted together, Clay is popular in Parliament... you know, nobody on the island doesn't like him and he's willing to give all members a 70% discount, so it's hard not to choose him as Speaker. ”

“Huh.”

After Zhang Heng came to the Buddhist Garden according to Black Prince Sam, he was greatly welcomed without saying anything.

Mainly in recent times, the sailor of the Cold Raven was a well-deserved consumer in the Buddhist Garden. A large amount of gold coins was thrown here. The mother-in-law remembered the boss's instructions, and her eyes lit up when she saw Zhang Hengyuan from afar. She immediately called out all the women without guests, and even offered to serve him once for free to thank him for his contribution to the Buddhist Garden, but Zhang Hengyuan refused.

At this time, an old man with a slightly thin body holding a pipe walked out of the house.

He is the owner of the Buddhist Court, Clay King, and one of the most informed people on the island. He has heard of Zhang Heng's intention to join the council for a long time. He smiled and accepted the letter of recommendation. He said, "Welcome to the council. In fact, if you don't come to me, I will come to you later. Recently, Captain Zhang Heng has spread your name throughout the island, and building Nassau cannot be separated from a good person like you. ”

“Mr. Klein is welcome, but wouldn't it be a little too soon to vote for the council?” Zhang Heng asked.

“There is no need to worry about the vote, and one third of the members of parliament are in favour of it, only to prevent disturbances, in fact the hands of all those who have failed to pass at this stage since the establishment of the parliament.” Clyde, “and a letter of recommendation signed by Captain Sam won't be disgraced. ”
