v2 Chapter 192： Expansion and suspicion (2/2)
”But there is a problem now. If we expand further, a transport ship is not enough.”
”Wilton has two ships, and his flagship Skull needs repairing before it can be used, but the other ship is intact. The firepower on that ship is not as good as the Skull, but it has more space than it should be used as a transport ship. It's appropriate. The only problem is that the ship has been a pirate ship. If it is recognized at the port, it may cause trouble. ”
”It's nothing, Wilton personally said that he rarely stays alive when plundering. There should not be many people who have seen the ship, and I will let someone remodel the ship before leaving the port. Even the people I've met cannot be identified. ”
The business woman obviously thought about this in advance. ”As for manpower, we can recruit on the island on the spot. In fact, these guys are good. Many of them are young people. They ca n’t make any money as long as they have jobs. I am willing to be a sailor on a transport ship, and the salary requirements are not high. The most important thing is that they are people on the island. Even if they are not good, there are many relatives and friends on the island. Under such circumstances, people on the island will no longer sit idly by. ”
Zhang Heng nodded and added, ”In the future when I am away, if there is any emergency, you can also go to the black prince Sam or Honig, they will help, and you better recruit yourself. A team of people is there to protect security. There are not too many people. There are four or five people, and they can cope with some unexpected situations. ”
Zhang Heng said after seeing Karina's reticence, ”What's wrong?”
”One more thing, I don't know if I think too much. I worked with several pirate ships before and didn't think that I could keep hiding from the black merchants alliance, but we did make some confidentiality measures. It is reasonable to say that Malcolm It shouldn't have been discovered so quickly, but he warned me not long after we started.
”In the beginning, I thought it was leaked from several pirate regiments who cooperated. You know, those pirates have a hard time keeping secrets. As long as they have a glass of rum and a special service from a magic house, they will know everything Speaking out, but then I realized a problem. If it was their leak, Malcolm should only have one or two news. It did n’t make sense to me so clearly. When we met, he did n’t say anything. , But he kept giving me a feeling, as if he knew everything about me. ”
”So do you think it was leaked by people here?” Zhang Heng asked ~~ I don't know. I chose reliable people and minimized exposure to this matter. People, including the vast majority of sailors on the Breeze, did not know what they were transporting. ”Said the businesswoman.
”Anyone in doubt?”
Karina hesitated, and finally said, ”Jim, he is young and literate. He was originally a bookkeeper on Breeze. Malone recommended it to me. After my father was in prison, Breeze The old sailors who have the ability to go for more than half. Among them, my father originally valued those who paid high salaries, but Jim stayed. He was the one who boarded the ship last year. It is reasonable to say that the sense of belonging should not be so strong, and With his ability, even if he left Breeze, he would not worry about finding a new job.
”I don't know much about him, but he stayed in our most difficult time and helped a lot. Therefore, Malone and I both trusted him, and he was very serious in doing things. I took him away The Breeze asked for it and followed me, specializing in taking inventory of the goods, including those spoils bought privately. He knew where these things came from, and he was also one of the few people who knew the Breeze navigation route. ”
