Chapter 131 One Hundred Strategies
Chapter 131 Hundred Struggle
Alcateio didn't know how long he had thought about it, but when he came to his senses, Clo had already arrived.
Although Clo was nominally Alcatel's subordinate, when he was standing in the reception room, the gap and distantness between the two was even greater than when William and Alcatel were together.
Arcadio squeezed out a gentle smile, let Clo, who was slightly restrained, sit down, and then ordered the butler to pour tea for him.
"You have worked and lived on the pirate ship for a long time," Alcateo said with a smile, "Have you ever thought about getting ashore?"
Crowe paused with his hands holding up the teacup, while Arcadio continued: "Do you want to be an official of the kingdom, or even a chance to become a noble?"
Arcadio looked at Clo, who was originally a little restrained and cold, with satisfaction, and after hearing this, his face showed unconcealed desire.
...
A few days later, several warships were moored at the port of Kalmar City one after another.
The other warships and crew members who were originally patrolling the waters under the control came to Kalmar City at this time.
On the dock, Selkirk, Jesus and other cadres who were originally assigned were surrounded by William who came to greet them.
"Captain, I have some situations to report." Selkirk said the first sentence after seeing William.
"Is it a parking fee?" William turned around and walked towards the city, asking without looking back.
Recently, William has been active in Kalmar City. After becoming a noble, he temporarily handed over the work of charging for passing and docking ships within his sphere of influence to Selkirk.
"There are many ships who are unwilling to pay this fee." Selkirk followed William's pace.
"Don't want to pay the fee?" William suddenly stopped when he heard Selkirk's words, looked back at Selkirk, and pointed to the scimitar at his waist: "Is the knife in your hand and the cannon on the ship a toy?"
Selkirk hesitated: "Behind many merchant ships, there are shadows of nobles from various kingdoms, so..."
"So what?" William's face had sunk.
William's prestige on the ship is getting heavier, and the management model of the Morgan Pirates is not like a team like Red Hair. Not only does William have the strongest force on the ship, but he also has personnel and finances in his hands. He is almost the same on the ship.
He is not only the captain of the Morgan Pirates, but also the only equity representative of the Pirates in Sihai Trading Company, and a shareholder of the Danpier arms company. Not to mention an ordinary crew member, even cadres cannot show off in front of him.
Seeing William's face unhappy, Selkirk, the cadre who had traveled through the great route, also defended with some anxiety: "I just feel that conflicts with these nobles are not conducive to our Pirates continuing to keep a low profile."
"Make your own decision," William had turned around and continued to walk into the city. Selkirk had just breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to him continue, "You are executing my orders, because the trouble and consequences of executing my orders are my responsibility. Your task is to execute without any discount!"
William was indeed a little dissatisfied. Although he liked to use power, as a superior, he was a very responsible person. In the team, he was responsible for formulating strategies. He would also bear the consequences and side effects of the strategy. Even if there was a problem, he would still not escape because he asked him to do it.
The subordinates only need to implement the strategy he formulated, but Selkirk failed to do anything well.
William thought that Selkirk, who was born in the North Sea, was usually taciturn and seemed quite cold, would show no mercy when performing this mission in the East Sea and should be more efficient. Now it seems that he has not fully seen through Selkirk. This former pirate captain who doesn't like to talk, occasionally does something clever.
"I understand." Selkirk pursed his lips and said.
William then asked, "Which kingdom is said to be from the merchant ship who doesn't want to pay the fees?"
"The captain of a merchant ship once claimed to be run by a nobleman from the Kingdom of Goya..."
"When I see such a ship again, it will sink it!" William interrupted directly, "What a bullshit nobleman in the Kingdom of Goya, I said that if there is any ship that does not pay the fee, I have no room for bargaining."
"I understand." Selkirk continued to nod, no longer defending.
When they were talking about work, other cadres of the Morgan Pirates followed silently. Although William did not force the pirates to be banned like regular troops, influenced by his leader, the ship, including crew members and cadres, was still much more disciplined than other colleagues.
Not far away, Dennis was standing there, as the city's sheriff, he needed to assist William and his militia in rectifying and maintaining the whole city's order.
He looked at William and the group of Morgan Pirates cadres following William in a daze. He didn't react until several people came to him.
"Welcome everyone. Next, we may have to fight side by side, so let me, the local snake, treat you first and organize a welcome banquet." Dennis said cheerfully.
"No need." William refused with a smile.
He turned around and looked at the cadres behind him and explained: "My people came and were very moved. To prevent any rumors from leaking, it is best to attack as soon as possible."
Dennis was stunned: "As soon as possible? Are you referring to now?"
"certainly."
William said that he had already begun to allocate personnel, ordering the cadres of the Pirates, two or three, to form a group of crew members, and to divide them into several teams with varying numbers.
The cadres who have been staying with William, such as Harden, Alamis and others, have told them the determined targets during this period. With their guidance, there is no need to worry that Selkirk and others who have just arrived will not be able to figure out the situation.
As the saying goes, only a thousand days of being a thief, but no one can defend against thieves. After William was formally appointed to deal with the security issues in Kalmar City, especially in slums, he immediately established the tone of taking the initiative.
On the one hand, he is not interested in preventing crime. Passive defense will involve too much manpower, material resources, and energy. On the other hand, if he wants to expand his influence among the residents of slums, he must remove gangs with violence and criminal nature. These gangs have considerable influence in the local area due to their environment and their own nature and are potential competitors for regional dominance.
Violence is the fundamental reason for the survival of the Morgan Pirates, and it is also the biggest advantage. He wants to take this opportunity to destroy all opponents and shock local residents.
After establishing the mission, William and the members of the Morgan Pirates behind him accelerated their pace and walked towards the slums.
