Chapter two hundred and thirty-four idealists
Maid's idea is very simple, but it is undeniable that his idea will be very effective. History has proved countless times that as long as his approach can persist, he can win the hearts of the people. Being the hearts of the people often means success. This has been proven many times by history.
Of course, it is definitely not possible to just talk about it. It depends on how Maid does it specifically. If you have a beautiful vision but have poor methods of implementation, then everything is empty talk, while idealists usually do not have enough means to realize their ideals.
Gao Yang is just a passerby in Somalia. He doesn't care whether Somalia will become better or worse. Moreover, in his opinion, the Skeleton Gang will not end up well, because Maid's alliance will inevitably be counterattacked by pirates, and may even be strangled in the cradle by pirates and security companies at sea.
As for foreign national interference, the Skeleton Gang is not qualified for the time being, but if the Skeleton Gang really grows to a certain extent, it is almost inevitable to attract foreign interference. But it has to be said that if Maid's ideal is as great as he said, then Maid is a great man, at least a great pioneer, but unfortunately, pioneers are usually short-lived.
Gao Yang and Li Jinfang were both silent. They didn't know what to say, especially Gao Yang. He now felt that he might be talking to a great man who would leave his name in world history textbooks in the future, which gave him a feeling of witnessing history.
After a long silence, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Why tell us these things? We are not enemies now, but we are not friends either. Why do you tell us these things?"
Maid spread his hands and said with a strange look: "Why can't you say it? Friend. My ideals will not be hidden from anyone. I will clearly express my ideals and wishes to everyone. I hope more people can do this with me, and I also hope to get more understanding and support from more people. When we charge tolls, those people can understand our practice. You are the first foreigners I have met after returning to Somalia. I hope to convey my ideals to the whole world, so I will talk to you about these things. I hope you can convey my words to all ship owners you know."
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I still say the same thing. Ideals are beautiful, but your path is destined to be bumpy. After all, it is because of interests. You have harmed the interests of too many people. They will not allow the Skeleton Gang to expand."
Maid nodded and said, "I know, but I still have to tell the world my thoughts. The road to victory is full of thorns, and it is impossible to win without bleeding. If someone is destined to fall on this road, I don't mind that I am the first one, but as long as I give them ideals, then whether I fall or not, we will eventually win."
After saying that, Maid pursed his lips and waved his fist, saying in a deep voice: "Somali is not India, so it cannot be Gandhi, and Somalia is not South Africa, so it cannot be Mandela. But I want to be Maid of Somalia. Even if I die, Somalia will definitely have its own hero."
Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice: "It's a pity that we can't help you too much, but if you want, I will tell others what you told me."
Maid smiled and said, "I am a doctor. For things like combat, I have only become a monk halfway and it is almost useless. Fortunately, I have a place to play a role. Two, I have to appease the prisoners. I hope they will join the League of Fairness and Justice. If you want to leave now, I can ask Abu to send you away. Of course, if you are not in a hurry, you can also wait for me for a while. I want to talk to you more."
Maid left, but Gao Yang didn't want to leave just like that. He contacted Grolev and the others on the walkie-talkie. After telling him about his situation, he just asked Grolev and the others to wait for his news with peace of mind. There was no need to worry about anything. According to the current situation, the Skeleton Gang really did not pose a threat to them.
Maid walked to the roof of a car in front of the captured pirates, and he made all the crouched prisoners stand up and began his speech in Somali.
Although Gao Yang couldn't understand what Maid was saying, he looked very powerful. The prisoners quickly turned from fear of shrinking and fear, and finally they applauded and shouted wildly.
Gao Yang and Li Jinfang were standing on the beach, no one cared about what they were doing, and watching Maied successfully turn these pirates into his supporters, and looking at the increasingly enthusiastic atmosphere, Li Jinfang suddenly said, "Brother Yang, I think he might be really good."
Gao Yang nodded and said, "Who knows, but whether it can be achieved or not, at least Maid has the belief that he will win, which is enough. I was thinking that we can let the rabbits and the others get ashore, and let Fernando lead his crew to come too. The speedboat can't run far and there is no way to get to the main route. Also, maybe Maid can help us get the Corordillin back."
Li Jinfang also nodded and said, "I think it's so bad. He has no reason to help us, but I'd better ask. Even if I pay some money, it's definitely good to get Croll Dillin back. If you lose it in our hands, we have to grab it back. As long as Maid is willing to send us with his boat."
The so-called pirate village is actually a fishing village. People in this village usually work as pirates, or pirates, and then work as fishermen.
Maid's speech lasted for about an hour. After his speech, the prisoners could not be called prisoners. The young and powerful man seemed to have turned to the Skeleton Gang, and the women and children began to cry and clean up the bodies that were beaten to death by Gao Yang and the Skeleton Gang.
Seeing that the prisoners were able to move freely even though they did not get their weapons back, Gao Yang couldn't help but frown. You should know that most of the bodies placed on the beach were killed by them.
After waiting for Maid to walk back to Gao Yang's face, Gao Yang pointed at the pirates and frowned and said, "Did you let them go like this? The battle was just over. They died so many people, aren't you afraid that they will cause any trouble to your people?"
Maid smiled and said, "Actually, they are all fishermen. They may not be voluntary when they are pirates. And even if they rob the ship, they can get very little money. So after I promised that they would not go hungry again after following me, they are already my people. As for many people who died, don't you know the attitude of Somalis towards death? Poverty and hunger are what they are afraid of. As for the issue of death, they don't have to worry about it, so there is no need to worry about anything."
After saying that, Maid sighed and continued: "For the people in this village, what is death when they can't even fill their stomachs? They risk being pirates, and the money they robbed will only be snatched away by the people who control them, so they know who they should hate."
Gao Yang didn't know what to say, so he remained silent.
Maid smiled bitterly and said with a sad face: "In Somalia, life is worthless. In the battle just now, we killed eighteen of them, and eleven of them died. Fortunately, we killed the pirate leader who controlled them, otherwise more people would die. Speaking of this, I have to admire you. There are very few people, but they are very powerful."
After Gao Yang was silent for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Good soldiers are not afraid of death, but not afraid of death does not mean they are good soldiers. We are mercenaries, and in war we are professions, but those pirates can just shoot."
"Yes, you are professional, you have been well trained, but we are just civilians who pick up guns. Speaking of this, I just came up with an idea, that is, can you help us train soldiers? They don't need to be as good as you, but they should at least have the basic qualities of soldiers."
Gao Yang was shocked when he heard Maid's words, but he shook his head and said, "This is impossible."
Maid said with a strange look on his face: "Why can't you? Aren't you mercenaries? Are mercenaries able to do everything? Of course, the premise is that you have to pay you, but we have money, we can pay you, you can offer a price, as long as we can afford it."
"Why are we? If you have money, you can ask anyone to train you."
After hearing Gao Yang's question, Maid seemed helpless and smiled bitterly: "Please, the Skeleton Gang has just been established for less than a month. We have no channels to find people who can train us. In fact, we have money and have no place to spend it. We want to buy arms and can't find sellers, we want to buy grain and can't find sellers, let alone professional military instructors, so I want to ask you to think about it carefully. We can pay, we have money, as long as you are willing to offer a price. If you really don't want to teach me, you can also recommend someone else."
Gao Yang and the others are not philanthropists, and they will not help Maid just because he has a lofty and noble ideal. Maid said he is rich, but Gao Yang felt that maybe Maid really has some money, but whether he can meet his requirements is a problem.
After shrugging, Gao Yang said with regret: "Sorry, we really can't help you now. The ship we protected is still in the hands of the pirates. No matter whether we can catch the ship back or not, at least we have to ensure that the rescued crew members are safe before we can consider other tasks."
Maid immediately said firmly: "Now this area belongs to our territory. We will help you get the ship back and help you voluntarily. I have seen your strength. I hope you can help the Skeletons train soldiers. You can come after you have completed your current mission. As for your commission, I don't know your price very well, so I can only make a price based on imagination. So, is one million US dollars enough? Pay the cash first!"
