Chapter 1814: Set a set of game rules

When the news of Bader's death was confirmed, public opinion around the world was in an uproar!

No one expected that Bader would die so suddenly!

Just yesterday, Bader was still swearing that he would fiercely retaliate against Yisu Shipping and at the same time make the Wanlong Palace get out of the Gulf of Aden.

Just when many people thought that the Wanlong Palace, as a strong dragon, couldn't suppress the local snake and would inevitably take a long time to establish prestige in the Gulf of Aden, and were also sweating for Yisu Shipping, Bader died miserably in his own base that very night!

Moreover, all the speedboats under his command exploded, along with the oil storage tanks in the base, and the entire base could be said to be a mess.

Although the series of explosions didn't bring a large number of casualties to the pirate organization, it caused them to lose all their ships overnight.

For this pirate organization, it was absolutely a devastating blow!

Without speedboats, they completely lost the ability to be pirates.

Although the Wanlong Palace hadn't publicly admitted that this was their doing, this video, along with the previous video of the Wanlong Palace "releasing" six pirates at sea, were both released by the same account.

So global netizens didn't need to guess to know that Bader must have been killed by the Wanlong Palace.

For a time, the Wanlong Palace's reputation globally reached its peak.

For so many years, everyone had only been expelling pirates in the Gulf of Aden, but the Wanlong Palace was the first to go directly to the pirate base camp and kill the pirate leader.

Global netizens were shocked by the Wanlong Palace's style of doing things—decisive and without any dragging of feet. Instantly, the internet was filled with praise for the Wanlong Palace from people of all countries!

The current Wanlong Palace had practically become a national hero!

On the internet, discussions about the Wanlong Palace also became hot topics on major websites.

Many media outlets were also reporting on this matter extensively. Almost all the media outlets that could be named gave affirmation to the Wanlong Palace's approach. Although the Wanlong Palace's operation was more or less somewhat illegal, because this group of pirates was truly evil, even the media no longer considered the legal level of the problem.

Bader's death also scared all pirate organizations in the Gulf of Aden out of their wits.

In the past, when they went out to sea to rob, they would fight if they could win, and run if they couldn't; even if they were caught, they would definitely be released.

Moreover, no armed force had ever attacked their base camp.

For a pirate leader, he only needed to dispatch his subordinates and speedboats, and he could lie down and make money in the base camp without worry.

But now, such days were gone forever.

Once the Wanlong Palace entered the Gulf of Aden, it completely overturned their previous ways of playing and rules.

If they didn't agree, they would directly sneak into the base camp and kill the pirate leader, and then blow up all the ships. This way of playing to the death made all pirate leaders tremble with fear.

Everyone was worried that one day they would also have their lives ended by the Wanlong Palace in their sleep.

Moreover, the Wanlong Palace's strength was too strong; they couldn't even defend against it.

What's more, the Wanlong Palace's base camp wasn't in the Gulf of Aden either; they could only be passively beaten in front of the Wanlong Palace, and they didn't have the strength to take the initiative to attack.

For a time, the entire pirate organization in the Gulf of Aden was in a state of panic.

The Wanlong Palace became famous overnight in the Gulf of Aden, and the entire situation of armed escorts was instantly opened up. In order to make the best use of this perfect start, Wan Pojun immediately called Ye Chen. After reporting the situation to Ye Chen, he asked: "Mr. Ye, what should we do next?"

Ye Chen instructed: "I think we should have a face-to-face talk with these pirate leaders in the Gulf of Aden, tell them our ambition and attitude in the Gulf of Aden, and at the same time let them know the market demand for escorts in the Gulf of Aden. Since the Wanlong Palace has decided to only eat half, they must be sensible and not oppose the Wanlong Palace in the future."

Wan Pojun immediately said: "Alright, Mr. Ye, your subordinate will arrange it immediately."

Ye Chen continued: "It's impossible to kill all the pirates in the Gulf of Aden, and we have no obligation to clear out all the pirates in the entire Gulf of Aden. As long as we can ensure the interests of the Wanlong Palace and the Wanlong Palace's escort clients, that is the best result for us. Therefore, next, you must first deter these pirates, and at the same time establish an information exchange channel with these pirates."

As he spoke, Ye Chen explained further: "That is to say, you must let these pirates know that in the future, before they take action against any ship, they must first confirm through this channel whether this ship is escorted by the Wanlong Palace. If it is indeed escorted by the Wanlong Palace, they must leave immediately. If it is not escorted by the Wanlong Palace, the Wanlong Palace will not ask what they do next. Establishing such an information exchange channel can prevent other armed escort companies from impersonating the Wanlong Palace."

Wan Pojun asked: "Mr. Ye, in your opinion, what form should this interactive channel take? I'm worried that if we directly establish contact with pirate organizations, it will cause criticism from the outside world."

"Yes." Ye Chen laughed: "If we have to feed back the information of the ships we escort to these pirates every time, the outside world will know and think that we are 'sacrificing others to save ourselves', so we cannot let them contact the Wanlong Palace directly; that would also lower the Wanlong Palace's status and class."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "I looked at your intelligence network yesterday; I think this online platform method is very good."

"The Wanlong Palace can directly build an escort website, put the introduction and price details of the Wanlong Palace's escort business on the website. Besides Yisu Shipping, if other shipping companies want to hire the Wanlong Palace for escorts, they can also submit applications through this website."

"At the same time, we will also publish the information of every ship escorted by the Wanlong Palace on this website in real-time, including the ship's name, registration number, and photos. Once this information is published, those pirates, out of fear for the Wanlong Palace, will definitely open their eyes wide and look clearly before taking action. As long as it is a freighter escorted by the Wanlong Palace, they will definitely roll as far away as possible."

Wan Pojun immediately understood and said: "I understand, Mr. Ye. I will have the website built as soon as possible, and at the same time, I will immediately send representatives to talk to these pirate leaders."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Pojun, our goal now is not to take the initiative to cooperate with these pirates, or let these pirates take the initiative to cooperate with us, but to set a set of game rules for the Gulf of Aden, forcing those pirates to play according to our rules. Therefore, although we have to talk to them face-to-face, we must never take the initiative to contact them. Otherwise, once someone catches a handle, they will think we are cooperating with pirates."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "You just need to let people release the news to the outside world, saying that the Wanlong Palace officially undertakes escort services in the Gulf of Aden from today, and at the same time leave an email address as a contact method, letting those shipowners interested in cooperation contact you first. I believe that once you release this email address, those pirates will take the initiative to contact you. They must be desperate to talk to the Wanlong Palace now." ===== CHAPTER 1815 =====
