C2989 Passing through the successful Calais (1/2)

The galley became the scapegoat for the release of anger. The French cargo ship, which could not afford to pay a hike fee, crashed into the ship out of control due to its emotional state.

The huge impact shook the boat. Fortunately, they were inside the narrow Port Said, and both of them were moving very fast, otherwise, something big would have happened. Once the boat was broken, they would not be able to leave.

Hearing the insults coming from the ship across the river, the sailors of the Calais growled in their native voices, ”Are you all crazy?” You want to hit your own people without even having eyes? Damned bastards, you all have no brains, we're not stupid … ”

As the two ships intersected, both sides seemed to have met face to face, and upon hearing the familiar sound, the French Merchant Shipping s immediately gave up. God! You... You are also French ships... ”

”Isn't that nonsense? ”You know the political scene in your motherland has changed, yet you still don't want to think of a way to get through it. You guys are dumb, but we're not stupid …”

”What the hell? If you don't create a few identities, you want to stay in the sea? Fortunately you guys were born in the nineteenth century, if it was in the 16th or 17th century, then trash like you would be a snack on the high seas! ”

His scolding caused the faces of his fellow countrymen to redden. Initially, he wanted to vent his anger on the British, but in the end, he accidentally injured one of his own and was ruthlessly scolded.

But there was no way to retort, because the other party was completely right. The Ocean trade was just so dangerous and complicated!

A merchant ship had left the motherland and entered the dangerous open sea. Not only did they have to face the harsh weather, they also had to deal with the huge waves that would arrive at any moment. At the same time, they also had to deal with the countless pirates!

That era belonged to the era of the armed merchant ship, all the cargo ships needed to have cannons in order to dare to operate the Ocean trade!

However, it was not enough to guard against pirates. There were even more dangerous private ships, which meant the pirates of a country!

In that era, Britain was one of the founding nations of the pirates, many of which carried the queen's personal plunder certificate. They piloted cash warships to rob enemy ships on the high seas, and even warships dared to take a bite out of them!

In order to be safe, the cargo ship owners of that era would prepare several sets of identity ships, changing their flags in advance whenever they encountered danger.

This was already a type of unspoken rule in the ocean trade. Even in the 21st century, many internationally renowned ship kings would like to register their ships in many small countries of South America.

Of course, there were deeper reasons as well. For example, smuggling, arms trafficking, high technology products … A lot of black and gray business is done on the high seas.

The sea is always a place where sin can be contained, and there is no law on the high seas!

Carefully inspecting the hull, the galley discovered that there were no major obstacles, and that their normal course was not affected. On the one hand, they didn't want to make things difficult for their fellow townsmen, and on the other hand, they didn't dare to cause too much of a ruckus.

Once the conflict broke out, it would require the garrison and officials of the canal to come to trial. If outsiders, especially the British, were allowed to board a ship and discover the treasure of such a large ship, would they not take advantage of the situation?

The British Museum is just a Pi Xiu who can't eat anything. Once they discover so many cultural relics, they will definitely rob them!

Just like that, the two ships shook hands and stealthily entered the canal through the disguise of Jia Lai.

However, after entering the canal for only half a day, the sailor discovered that there was a problem. The place where they had just hit had a very small amount of seepage. It turned out that a small gap had appeared between the joined decks.

The gap was easily filled, and the boat had the right tools on board. But the most frightening thing was that this leak affected three wooden boxes filled with seawater.
