Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 376 YAMAL

"There are two captains of YAMAL, one standing on the table and one hiding somewhere on the YAMAL."

Mance stood on the podium in the combat conference room, holding a tactical baton. A European face appeared on the screen behind him, with beards on both sides of his cheeks, and wearing a captain's cap. He looked about 40 years old. Has a pair of tortoiseshell eyes and a tall nose.

"Sasha Rybalko, his real name is Alexander Rybalko, he used to be a major in the Alpha Special Forces of the Russian Federal Security Service. Although he is the captain of the YAMAL on the surface, he doesn't know how to sail at all. Shooting and hand-to-hand combat are his strong suits, plus he is proficient with almost all military equipment."

"15 years ago, he was hired to be the captain of the YAMAL, and the guy who hired him was the guy we were really looking for—Vincent von Ludwig, Vincent is a German-Argentine, although His name never appeared on the Forbes rich list, but he is actually one of the few richest people in Argentina. No one knows where he made his money, we only found out that in 1995, he reported to the Russian authorities The YAMAL was leased for use as a sightseeing ship in the Arctic.”

Fingel, who was sitting under the stage, asked, "Is there no picture of that guy?"

"No." Mance shook his head: "Vincent has protected himself very well. Almost all the people in this world who know his existence are on that ship, and very few outsiders can see him."

Mance tapped the screen with his baton, and the photo of the middle-aged man disappeared, turning into a magnificent hall with white marble covering the floor and walls, and golden lamps illuminating countless gaming tables in the hall.

"What a luxurious casino." Thelma sighed.

"This casino is set up in the cabin at the bottom of the YAMAL." Mance put his hands behind his back, "We found someone who met Vincent at the fish market in Greenland. The owner of a herring canning factory that brings him more than $100 million a year in revenue, but when we found him, he was begging at the fish market in rags."

"Because of gambling?" Thelma asked.

"He's an old gambler." Mansley put the captain's hat on his head, and said calmly: "On December 2006, 12, Kennedy boarded the Yamal with 20 million US dollars. After five days, in this gaming room, He won another $400 million, and then he was approached by Alexandre Rybalco, who said he had a ticket to bet against the true owner of the ship.

He felt that he was lucky, so he agreed to come down and bet against Vincent. According to him, he was taken to an elevator hidden behind a heavy metal door, which went directly to the 11th floor of YAMAL.

This floor is the top floor of the ship, where he saw Vincent, a man who looked like a mummified corpse, but surrounded by young Russian beauties with blond hair and blue eyes, those beauties were wearing scantily clad clothes. clothes, sitting on Vincent's lap, his white thighs made his mouth dry. "

Fingel said with a smile: "Man can't stand this kind of temptation."

Mance glanced at Fingel, and then said: "Kennedy is betting against Vincent in this room, and their betting is completely public. Visitors to the lower-level gaming room can see the details of the game and the results of the two sides on the big screen in the center." Betting, this method of gambling can avoid the possibility of Vincent cheating. Kentini said that Vincent’s room has surveillance cameras on every part of the YAMAL except for the guest’s bedroom and toilet. He can clearly see the inside of the casino. The faces of tourists."

"Vincent and Kendini are playing blackjack, a poker game. A chip is worth 21. At the beginning, both sides win or lose. Kendini has a small advantage. In just one hour, he won 10 million US dollars. , which almost made him dizzy, and then Vincent launched 100 chips, a round of 60 million high bets, Kendini kept up with the bets, but he lost this round, plus the winnings, All his assets were 600 million, which shrank to 650 in a few minutes."

"Reason tells Kendini to stop, and he can leave 50 to go home if he goes back like this. He can continue to be the factory owner, but Vincent gave him a chance, saying that he can use his herring canning factory to mortgage 1000 million. In the next game, they bet 1000 million dollars, and Kennedy knew that this was an offer he could not refuse, because his factory could never be worth 1000 million dollars."

"So in the end he lost and lost everything?" Fingel rubbed his hands.

Mance nodded and said: "He even lost his last 50, and he even borrowed a huge sum of money from Vincent. After the YAMAL returned, he declared bankruptcy and changed from a rich man to a tramp with debts. .”

"That guy is really ruthless, must he destroy people's homes?" Fingel smacked his lips.

"This is because Vincent's own financial situation is not optimistic."

Mance clicked on the screen, and a columnar statistical table was displayed, with expenditure on the top and income on the bottom, and the year was marked under each column.

"YAMAL's income and expenditure statement from 1995 to 2009, Vincent has to pay huge rents to the Russian authorities every year, and also pay the crew salaries, and carry out regular maintenance on the YAMAL, his unknown wealth is so Dried up under big overhead.

Since 2002, he has been losing money every year. Every time he sails, the biggest gamblers in the casino can meet him. He uses the gambling money he wins to maintain his financial situation, but even so, he expects declared bankruptcy in 2011. "

"He could have spent the rest of his life with that money," Thelma mused.

"He's dying of old age, and no amount of money will make sense to a man with so little life left," Mance said. "He must be sure there's something in the Arctic Circle, that's why he's renting the YAMAL, 15 has been cruising the Arctic Ocean non-stop for years."

"Maybe he knows about 'Odin'." Fingel was eager to try.

"Our task is very simple, find a way to find Vincent, and then figure out what he is going to do." Mance issued an order: "YAMAL used to serve in the army, and it is a [-]-ton warship, so try to avoid naval battles, and try to avoid warships as much as possible." Settle this matter without making a fuss."

"It's fine if you don't need money. Doesn't it mean that as long as you have money, you can see Vincent?" Finger rubbed his right index finger and thumb.

"This is indeed a very good idea, but unfortunately, we did not carry enough cash when we sailed." Mance said: "Because the commissioner of the Executive Department only found Kendini in the fish market two days ago and asked To the rules on the YAMAL, and by that time we had sailed into the arctic circle. Now it is too late to turn around and get cash, we have to resort to other means."

"Maybe we can find a way to sneak into the 11th floor. Didn't the Russian authorities send us the hull structure diagram of the YAMAL?" Selma rubbed her chin in thought.

"But that is the hull structure diagram of 15 years ago. Vincent has already transformed the YAMAL beyond recognition. We can only adapt to the situation."

Mance took off his captain's cap.

"Remember our identity, a scientific research ship that came to investigate the abnormal auroral phenomenon, you are all scientific researchers, and I was lucky enough to take the YAMAL in 2002, so I decided to visit it during the break time with my students This icebreaker has memories for me."

"Sometimes it's good to have some role-playing games." Fingal licked his dry lips.

"Go and change your clothes. If we want to board the boat, we must go through security checks. The only weapons you can carry with you are probably knives or crowbars.

Remember, although completing the mission is very important, safety of life is the first priority. When necessary, I will send a signal to let the Moniah launch shelling. According to Eva's analysis, the probability of us winning the naval battle is 98.213%. We will never be afraid of confrontation. "

"clear."

"Yes."

With solemn expressions, the elites of Kassel dismissed one after another and went to their lounge to change clothes.

Under the pale sunlight, the red and blue-black ships stood among the ice floes.

The polar day in May has not yet reached its peak, so the sky is not completely filled with sunlight, like the twilight at dawn, and the ghost of the moon can still be seen.

In the North Pole, you can see the moon for about half of the year. It does not set for 24 hours, and you can clearly see that the sun and the moon are in the same sky.

Zero raised his head and glanced at the moon, wondering if those parts with different light and dark areas were craters on the surface of the moon that were smashed out by meteorites.

She was walking on the deck of the big red ship, and there was a conversation ahead.

"Actually, among penguins, same-sex love often happens. During my Antarctic expedition, I met a pair of emperor penguin couples who were both female. They slept and ate together.

I named them Tina and Henna, Tina is bigger and will be responsible for preying on Henna's food, and Henna will use her mouth to comb the feathers on Tina's belly when she is resting, they have The phenomenon of giving food, will scramble to give food to the other party first, which is quite a rare behavior in the animal kingdom. "

"This is true love, Professor Mance, but it's a pity that I have never had the chance to meet penguins. Why don't such lovely creatures live in the North Pole?"

The middle-aged Russian captain was drinking vodka. Professor Mance walked beside him wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a thick white cotton coat. Behind him was a group of students holding research notebooks and pens. Zero was also in this group. Among the "students". ,

The elites of Kassel successfully infiltrated the YAMAL. Sasha Rybalko is a hospitable man. An hour ago he sang a Russian folk song on the radio channel. Fingel sang a duet with him. Two people who had never met seemed to be After 15 minutes of bragging and farting, Fingal and he set up this amicable meeting.

There were scattered tourists taking pictures on the deck, which seemed a bit deserted, but after this group of people arrived, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"The job of voyage is really not done by humans. It is boring and boring. Except for the first few days, in the rest of the days, I would feel sick when I saw the sea. In my more than ten years of life, I don't know how to see the sea. How many crew members have mental problems, and only first-time tourists will find this scenery interesting, don’t you think so, Professor Mance.”

Captain Sasha took another sip of vodka. The spirit entered his mouth and flowed through the mouth, esophagus and stomach, causing a burning sensation. Someone did an analysis. When a drop of strong liquor flows through the esophagus, it will leave a clear white mark, like Roasted, so someone will get a stomach piercing while drinking.

Don't underestimate spirits, millions of people die every year because of drinking, and more than 90.00% of them are men, but for a Russian man, there is no meaning of life without alcohol.

What's more, this is the cold Arctic, and wine can warm you up, so Captain Sasha has to drink a sip of wine every few steps.

"During your scientific research in Antarctica, you were accompanied by lovely emperor penguins. Like us, we can only sing love songs to the icebergs. We are isolated from the world, and we will not see the same kind for three or four months. How can we live in this barren world? I am really lucky to meet you all in this place, I remember one year when I sailed in winter, I sang on the radio channel every day, but no one responded to me for a full 100 days, it was really lonely."

"Then why does Captain Sasha insist on this job?" Professor Mance pushed the frame of his glasses.

"What else can it be for?" Captain Sasha said helplessly: "I have an unlucky ex-wife. After she divorced me, she got into a car accident and became a vegetable. The hospital is like a black hole that swallows money. If I don't pay The money for her hospitalization, the doctors and nurses are going to drive her out, what else can I do?"

"Ex-wife?" Mance recalled the experience of a man named Sasha whose real name was Alexander. Cassel had already picked up his life clearly. It was mentioned in the documents that he would send money every time he returned to the voyage. Called into a Medicare account to pay for a hospitalized woman.

He doesn't seem to be lying. It's a surprise that a man who has been a special soldier is still a big lover.

"I have also liked many women in my life. Where does the boatman go to for fun? It's too lonely on the boat." Captain Sasha sighed: "But that's the only one who planned to have a baby with me Woman, I don't even know how much money I have spent on Natasha these years, but since I have persisted until now, there is no reason to give up."

"If I were Natasha, I would definitely be moved to tears." Fingel jumped out from the crowd.

Captain Sasha heard the accent, isn't this the man who sang with him on the radio just now?
Confirm the eyes, you are the right person.

"Speaking of which, it's time to eat. Although we can't tell the difference between day and night in the North Pole, we can always know when we're hungry. Our restaurant is self-service. Let's go have a meal together. Our on-board Chefs are good, and that's one of the reasons why I've been able to stick with this job."

"I'm more interested in wine than eating." Fingel made a look.

"Are you used to drinking vodka?" Captain Sasha raised the bottle.

"You have to try it to know."

Fingel smiled, Captain Sasha also looked at each other and smiled, and the two got together and set off towards the restaurant.
