The weather at the end of October has started to get colder.
The pirates on the ship also started to put on more clothes, and the soldiers of the Sharp Knife Battalion under Li Zhen had also put on thick cotton-padded jackets. Tiqi, holding a cigarette in his mouth, stood next to Li Zhen, lying on the railing of the ship with his hands, looking out. Looking at the blue sea, he said excitedly: "President Li, we have entered the Hawaiian Islands area, and we will arrive in half a day."
Li Zhen said: "I'm looking forward to it."
Tiqi became more and more excited and wanted to return to the island.
When the fleet returned to the island, it was already dark.
But when Tiqi returned, the pirates on the island had already gotten the news and lit torches, making the entire island as bright as day. Tiqi was like an emperor returning with infinite scenery. After he got off the flagship , and invited Li Zhen and others down, and then led a group of people towards the center of the island.
Around this island, there are dotted small islands, all of which are guarded by Teach's pirate soldiers to protect the safety of the island. Moreover, important weapons such as cannons and machine guns are also placed around the island to ensure the safety of the island.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the residence.
Originally, Tiqi was planning to celebrate tonight, but Li Zhen thought that everyone was traveling long distances and was very tired, especially Scott who was already over seventy years old. At such an age, he would definitely not be able to bear it if he had to do it again at night, so he politely said Rejecting Tikki's kindness, Tikki postponed the celebration and celebrated it on the next day.
To this, Teach did not refuse and agreed with a smile.
Everyone took a rest, and the island quickly returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.
The next day, noon.
In the hall, Tiqi hosted a banquet in honor of Li Zhen and his party.
His face was full of proud application, he pointed at Li Zhen with a look of admiration, and said loudly: "Brothers, the handsome gentleman next to me is President Li from China. For President Li , many people don’t know it and have only heard President Lee’s name. Here, I will give you a brief introduction.”
"Since President Lee led the army to fight, he has fought against the army of England, the army of France, the army of the Kingdom of Italy, the army of the American Commonwealth, and the army of Tsarist Russia... He has gone through countless battles, The armies of many countries failed without exception in front of President Lee."
Ti Qi promoted Li Zhen's deeds and felt quite proud in his heart. He said loudly: "President Li is the master of the battlefield on the battlefield. Today, President Li comes to us with honor. It is our honor. Everyone has face." ."
His introduction elicited bursts of exclamations from below.
"President Lee is so powerful. No army from any country can match him. He is an ever-victorious general. When I heard about President Lee, I didn't believe it. But now it seems that it is indeed true." Captain Qi's reputation is extraordinary when he invites someone like President Li, he is really very proud."
"It would be great if I had President Lee's ability."
"It's a beautiful thought, but you don't even have a tenth of it."
"President Li is willing to come to our island. This is because he thinks highly of us. Well, I support him."
All the pirates' faces turned red and they were extremely excited.
When Tiqi saw the excited expressions of the pirates and faintly heard their words, he felt even more proud. Although what he just said was to promote Li Zhen's glorious deeds, it also had the element of showing off. Someone as powerful as Li Zhen A man who is famous all over the world can be invited to the island as a guest, which indirectly proves his ability.
There is no doubt that he is a competent captain.
Li Zhen saw through Tiqi's little thoughts and didn't point it out because it didn't matter.
Teach's eyes were excited and he continued: "President Lee's arrival on our island is a day worth celebrating. Now, please be quiet and ask President Lee to say a few words to us."
The hall soon became quiet, leaving only the faint sound of breathing.
Tiqi looked at Li Zhen with expectation in his eyes.
With a faint melting look on Li Zhen's face, he glanced at the pirates in the hall one by one and looked outside the hall. He found that the hall was already crowded with pirates. Seeing this scene, Li Zhenxin said that this time in order to win over these pirates, It has to be sensational.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said loudly: "Today, my soldiers and I came to the island on Lord Teach's ship. Thanks to everyone's warm reception, I would like to say thank you to you all."
In the hall, warm applause instantly broke out.
Li Zhen's thanks were undoubtedly a sign of respect for them, which made the pirates feel very satisfied.
In the eyes of the world, pirates are people who do all kinds of evil, but pirates are also human beings and need respect. Li Zhen's words made these pirates experience such respect.
Li Zhen coughed twice and raised his hand to press down.
When the hall gradually became quiet, Li Zhen continued: "The profession of pirates, in the eyes of countless people, represents cruelty, burning, killing, looting, and madness. Anyone present can walk out and stand. If you shout "I am a pirate" on the street, others will think you are crazy, or they will chase you, or even kill you. I think no matter who you are, they will feel uncomfortable and feel very sad."
After a few words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became cold.
Including Tikki, his expressions also changed.
Li Zhen didn't mention any of these things. These were the things pirates were most taboo about. But as soon as Li Zhen brought it up, everyone present's impression of Li Zhen was instantly ruined.
Liu Jintang raised the corner of his mouth and said in his heart that the president must have a purpose.
Scott shook his head, having seen through Li Zhen's trick.
"President Lee, you are looking down on us by saying this, or you think that we are evil pirates and cruel pirates. In this case, why do you still ask Captain Teach for help? Hehei, I guess I see, you, President Li, are not very noble, you are the same person as us."
"What's wrong with pirates? We are pirates. We also kill people, but we don't kill the poor people or the defenseless people. We kill all the people who deserve to be killed and rob the extremely rich people."
"President Lee, we don't welcome you."
Countless people objected loudly, and the situation became somewhat uncontrollable, especially when Li Zhen's words were spread from one person to another, and gradually reached the ears of the pirates outside the hall, causing fierce resistance.
When Li Zhen saw this scene, he was very calm and did not panic.
He understood that although the pirate appeared cheerful, he was very sensitive on the inside.
What he said just now struck a chord in the pirate's heart.
Li Zhen took a breath again and continued: "What I said is the truth, it is the world's opinion of you. If you can't even admit this and face it calmly, I can only say that you are unqualified. Pirates don't even have basic qualities, and even if you want to become a pirate with quality and status, it's even more impossible."
"President Lee, what is a qualified pirate? What is a pirate with quality and status?"
Thomson felt that Li Zhen could not provoke for no reason and must have deep meaning. He took the initiative to stand up and accepted Li Zhen's words, providing a step for Li Zhen's next words.
