THE HARSH LIFE OF PIRATES
The day was waking up, but the pirates, apparently
were not going to get up. Vlad was already running around the deck with his pipe, Lapecia was thinking, and Shtoza was somewhere absent or somewhere present, but where it was somewhere was unknown. The sun had already risen, but the cruiser was still standing in the roadstead, moored to the ancient bridge. They had already brought in another
batch of young Makarovgrad residents and they
no longer noticing anything, in ecstasy
were spinning up the only combat unit
in the class of battle cruisers of Makarovgrad.
The ship tried to restore the damage,
but for this it was necessary to at least stop
the ongoing destruction. Then Vlad
finally discovered what the young
patriots of their Motherland were doing and yelled:
- Come on, get off the ship, bastards! - and fired
a series of warning shots into the sky
from a bow.
However, either he shouted too quietly, or
the kids were deaf, but his apotheotic
speech had no effect, except
a corn farmer hit by a stray arrow,
which with the roar of burning engines
crashed into the bank and exploded, scattering
their mentors little
destroyers. The children continued their menial work of dismantling the cruiser.
Then Aleshchenko began shooting to kill.
The first shot hit the eldest of
the boys in the eye and an arrow,scrolling through his unlucky brains, came out of the back of his head. The boy screamed and flew into the water. The rest took this as a guide to action and jumped into the abyss of the river, where they were carefully chopped into pieces no larger than sprat by the powerful propellers of the cruiser G.O.khiya. Vlad
looked with pleasure at the blood
that rose from the depths and
spread over many square
meters of the water area of the Suydinka River. The Minister of the Armed Forces calmed down, but then discovered with horror that another detachment of children was approaching the bridge. Realizing that he could not drive the cruiser away from danger so quickly, he decided to take the fight. Vlad went up to the control room
and was about to break the bottles, when suddenly
he noticed that his breakfast had been eaten by someone. In
frenzy, since he had not expected this at all
and wanted to eat, he called
everyone at the signal
to “get-on-deck-as-quickly-as-the-third-world-war-with-
-the-use-of-weapons-of-mass-destruction-
-to-the-main-cities-of-our-homeland-when-
their-complete-transformation-into-radioactive-
dust-volume-of-no-more-than-three-liters-and-
five-measurement-cups-of-a-hundred-grams"
and he himself went to smash the offender onto the deck.
The bottles rang piercingly,
the machine guns began to wail and through a few
moments on boardThe whole crew of the ship was lined up. Lapetsia stood on the right hand
of Vlad, but Shtoza was still not there.
On the shore, the children were already strengthening guns
of about half a meter in caliber. Aleshchenko
said:
- Team, we have gathered here to
discuss one very emergency
incident...
Everyone fell silent, waiting for a parting speech
before the massacre, since they had already seen
transparent hints from the children.
- This is a very serious incident. Our journey
has only just begun, and such cases
can cast doubt on the success of our
enterprise, - Aleshchenko, apparently, got wound up and continued, - so, I ask
you...
Here he paused, looking around the whole
team. An unpleasant
silence hung in the air, which the lanky
Hook immediately refused to
spoil with a loud burp.
Vlad exploded:
- Oh, you bastard!!! Interrupt the chief
commander?! (no one
noticed the mistakes because...)
The explosion blew the entire crew overboard.
Lapezia looked at the minister in surprise and
said:
- How strictly did you deal with them...
Lapezia didn’t have time to finish. The repeated
volley of coastal guns hit the target exactly.
The main conning tower was blown to pieces.
Spitting out water with blood, the smurr thought:
- Here's one for you...
- Here's two for you, - said the gun,
placing another coupleshells into the water near
Lapezia. There was another explosion. The agent
flyed over the river, transforming into a goose.
Having successfully planned the considerably
torn-up deck, he turned into
Lapezia. The order was in full combat readiness and continued to fire.
The team took up their defense posts;
only Vlad wandered around the cruiser uselessly
and swore at the careless pirates, since
his place - the main wheelhouse had not yet grown.
The guns on the shore fell silent for the time
reloading. And then the counteroffensive began. A couple of accurate shots
removed half the crew from one of the coastal
guns - life became easier. Tanks and cavalry went into battle. The battle was raging on the left flank. Pirates on horseback chopped up the unfortunate children. They cut off their heads and threw these parts into the thick of the battle. The pirates brought the corpses of children aboard the cruiser, which was now covered with a skillful smoke screen, and loaded them into catapults. The corpses flew towards the enemy troops and sowed terrible diseases in the enemy camp. A company of pirates - a tank division - broke through to the enemy's headquarters, but minefields installed by the enemy slowed down the advance. One of the tanks
was blown up by a mine and was burning, emitting
the foul smoke of the burnt dead.
The next tank was simply torn apartsuccessful
shot into small pieces and scattered
across the vast battlefield. Out of nowhere, the planes that appeared supported the tank
division and the advance accelerated.
The massive attack of the motorized infantry met
decent resistance. Another fight began to boil. Kids in armored personnel carriers drove into the trenches, crushed the poor pirates with their wheels and tracks. A bloody mess filled the earthen fortifications, but the cavalry rushed to the rescue and destroyed the enemy's armored vehicles. The onboard guns
belched fire and flame. Hot
lead pierced young Makarovgrad residents
who wanted to save their country from
pirates. Suddenly, enemy submarines appeared at the mouth of the river and the freebooters
had a hard time. Torpedo tubes fired torpedoes one after another at numerous
enemy combat units. Submarines sank, blocking the narrow passage of the river, and their own had to smash their own into smithereens in order to free up space for the following boats. Air defense systems repelled attacks by aircraft: fighters, bombers. On
the radio broadcast at all frequencies the
screams of dying, perishing, shot down,
knocked out, ejecting, wounded,
killed, angry, rude pilots, pilots,
navigators, flight mechanics were heard.
Suddenly, on the shore appearedShtoza Damn with
some huge bag. The battle died down. All the kids rushed to the Devil. They surrounded him and looked at what Shtoza had brought. The Pole
took a handful of sweets from his pocket and distributed
the treats to the children. The boys and girls
were delighted and ran away, abandoning their
toys. Shtoza walked across the torn-up bridge onto an equally torn-up cruiser and said cheerfully: “I brought you some apples.” Everyone rushed towards the Pole, but he stopped them. Someone fell overboard again and with difficulty climbed onto the cruiser, splashing disgustingly with water.
“In line, please,” Shtoza asked, but he could not say that. Everyone had been standing behind each other for a long time and
watched in fascination the distribution of fruit.
All 15 pirates, including John Silver and
not including the parrot, received three
apples. The Devil divided the rest between the
headquarters.
After lunch, the cruiser was unanchored and
lowered into the water. The pirate cruiser
"G.O.khiya" sailed towards its
adventures and GOLD!!! (And Gold, oh
how, Makarovgrad needed)
