1465. More exciting than movies
Qin Shiou thought it would be nice to take one hundred forty or fifty harp seals to the fishing ground. These little guys are so cute, fat and round, and not aggressive to humans. It would be better to keep them in the fishing ground as ornamental pets, which can add a lot of popularity to the fishing ground.
Winnie is even more welcome. With the tourism in Seal Town, you can have an extra project.
So after Qin Shiou made this proposal, Winnie responded and pulled his hand and smiled sweetly: "Dear, you are so nice, take it back. I can apply for some seal adoption funds from the town for the fishing ground."
The colonel shrugged and said that this was not his own. He would see what the mount police would do later. If they decided to release the seals on the spot, he would help find someone to clear the relationship and let Qin Shiou take it away.
The group then returned to the hotel under the escort of the police. The wind and snow were howling outside, but the reporters surrounded them in the wind and snow. This professionalism made Qin Shiou amazed.
After waking up one night, more reporters came to Neen Point. Qin Shiou was blocked when he went out to buy coffee. A group of people asked him with a question: "Are you the captain of the Melon Princess? Are you sure you are right? The captain of this ship is a Chinese."
Qin Shiou pulled Geng Junjie, who was accompanying him, and said, "No, no, no, everyone, you admit your mistake. He is the captain. I am the crew member. I will buy coffee for the captain and the first mates."
Most of these reporters did not come from St. Johns, so they did not know Qin Shiou. After he introduced this, they let him go and surrounded Geng Junjie.
Indeed, in terms of age and temperament, Geng Junjie is more like a captain. He has just retired for a while and has the strength and indomitable spirit of a soldier. This can also be regarded as a leader temperament. Qin Shiou has a good temperament, but unfortunately he is too young.
So Geng Junjie was blocked, and a group of reporters asked questions, pity his English level was too poor, he could not hear clearly, and was dizzy when he was quarreled. Finally, he tried to put in a sentence: "We are deeply shocked by this and strongly condemned..."
reporter:"……"
Qin Shiou rushed into the cafe next to the hotel in the wind and snow. The newspapers that someone had put down on the table were reported on the headlines were this bloody case.
Various media have great powers and found out the whole story in one night. Qin Shiou sipped the fragrant coffee while reading the newspaper, and then he had a complete understanding of the whole incident.
The Maine Bulldog is an American fishing ship. They have been out of the sea for four months, and the initial member of the ship was forty. At the last moment, there were two fishermen - a pair of lucky brothers. They were unable to get on board because their family members were sick.
The thirty-eight people are composed of twelve people led by the captain and twenty-six people led by the first mate. Among them, the first mate and others are temporarily hired. They are not natives from Portland. Because the captain of the Maine Bulldog is not famous locally, he is known for squeezing the crew's income, and the local fishermen are unwilling to work for him.
The Maine Bulldog went to sea in late September, with the goal of the North Atlantic Ocean, and wanted to catch squids and squids that travel south in winter. As agreed, the captain gave the first mate and his men a salary in addition to their wages, and would also give 20% of their final income.
This is normal. All the treatments of fishermen hired by ocean-going fishing ferries are like this. They can not only guarantee basic income, but also give employees the possibility of making a fortune, which can greatly stimulate employees' enthusiasm for work.
The problem lies in the later fishing. They were very lucky and caught very few fishing catches. In this way, the captain did not want to pay the crew and only promised to give them the final dividend.
Of course, the first mate and his group disagree, and the two sides had differences, which laid the root of the bloody case.
The fishing was not harvested, and the captain did not want to lose money, so he caught a batch of harp seals, wanting to deal with the fur and seal meat through the black market. This would at least subsidize the money spent on fishing boats going to sea.
The first mate and others believed that the money for selling harp seals should be distributed to them. The captain was an iron rooster and did not agree anyway. In this way, the two sides developed from disagreement to a fight. The first mate simply imprisoned the captain and his party, wanting to threaten him.
The captain was a ruthless man. He instigated a crew member who was arranged to deliver food by the first mate. After coming out, he took a pistol and wanted to fight back - he didn't really want to kill people, but just wanted to intimidate the first mate and others and arrest them.
However, the first mate and his party thought they wanted to kill people, so they took the initiative to kill them first, and killed the captain with a harpoon. The captain's men fought back. In the end, the twelve people were killed, eleven, and threw them into the sea to feed the sharks!
The one who survived was the flag-speaking Mexican. He was the chef on the boat and was extremely timid. He hid himself during the conflict. Later, when the first mate found him, he did not kill him in order to need someone to cook.
During the conflict, twenty-six first mates also suffered casualties, and in the end only eighteen people survived. These eighteen people were divided into two factions, nine people led by the first mate, and seven people led by the commander of the first mate.
After the murder, the two sides had a disagreement. The nine first lieutenants believed that they had committed a serious crime and could not return to the United States. They went straight to the northern part of Greenland and found a place to hide.
The chief engineer didn't think so. He felt that they had committed a crime and should go back and plead guilty. The reason for this was that the eight chief engineers only provided assistance in the conflict and did not kill anyone.
This is the fundamental difference between the two sides. One side is a serious criminal, and the other side is an accomplice at most. Both sides distrust each other and stay together for four days and still fail to discuss it. The first mate destroyed the satellite phone to prevent the captain from telling the truth. The captain destroyed the engine so that they could not go north.
In the end, both sides realized that they could not allow the other party to survive, otherwise they would not be able to survive, so another bloodshed occurred. The first mate and his group survived to the end because they had a pistol in their custody, and all eight engineers were killed!
Later on, it was Qin Shiou's experience. They wanted to seize the Melon Princess to go to Greenland. However, they expected that Qin Shiou's boat not only had fishermen, but also ten soldiers, but they also took their spears and captured them when they went up...
After reading the report, Qin Shiou couldn't help but shake his head. What happened on the Maine Bulldog is even more exciting and terrifying than Hollywood blockbusters. It's true that the old saying goes: reality is finally more exciting than the movie!
Nearly forty families were destroyed like this, and if he hadn't been vigilant, there would be more families destroyed!
This incident is not a simple bloodshed incident, but also involves diplomacy. The ship belongs to the United States and the incident happened on the Canadian territory. It is hard to say how to enforce the law and how to judge the punishment.
The US police also responded quickly - something such a big thing happened, so they could not help but react unhappy. After Qin Shiou bought coffee, he saw a group of strange policemen appearing in the hotel. These people had the words Usa on their clothes, which was obviously the Americans arrived. (To be continued.)
