THE MAIN SEA BATTLE OF THE PIRATES
Within a month, the pirate cruiser went out into the open sea and began to fulfill
its direct duty - to rob. Already
on the way to the sea, the filibusters were convinced that it was unprofitable to engage in petty robbery.
This conclusion led to the development
of a plan for the rapid extraction of gold. A ship was identified that was transporting the entire gold reserve of one of the many banana republics to one of the many Swiss banks. The cruiser set out on the course of this transport and went at full speed in pursuit of it. This event was celebrated for three
days.
“Yes,” Lapetzia repeated, “it’s hard
for my head.”
From drinking, Lapetzia continually
transformed, which madly amused
the drunken Aleshchenko, the creator of the first
book about Lapetia. Shtoza was again somewhere
absent.
D-Day was approaching. For this reason, the whole
crew scattered to their cabins surprisingly early and went to bed. Due to friendly snoring, the super-powerful cruiser's locator went out of order, but was quickly restored by repair systems. Night fell on the
cruiser, throwing Vlad into the water, who, out of
habit, went out to the upper deck
to take a breath of fresh air, that is,
smoke.
Some time passed and the sun rose.
Slowly he woke upcruiser. The long awaited
Day Achieved. Everyone was excitedly cleaning machine guns and checkers, pencils and
ears. Lapetsia observed these preparations and
thought:
- What great fellows, the eagles!
They took Aleshchenko out of the sea and put him
in the wardroom, covering him with a blanket.
Shtoza woke up, having given up drinking and smoking.
He had already spent the night in the armory for a month, since
it was the quietest here. Covered with armor, he was calm that he would not be touched here. Yes
and the cartridges for the anti-aircraft gun could
be carried while Aleshchenko was not looking. So today - as soon as the Devil woke up, he immediately ran to his gun. Having shot down another
BOEING 757, Shtoza put a cross on the
painted frame of the gun. There was a catastrophic lack of space. The devil went to the workshop, stole a sheet of steel there measuring two by two meters and welded it to the turret chassis.
- How long will it last? - inquired
Lapezia, peacefully walking around his
ship.
- That's enough for today. “Probably,” the Pole said thoughtfully, apparently carrying out complex mathematical
calculations in his big head, “how
things will go,” he added to the already retreating Lapezia.
Smurr did not expect the addition and fell overboard again, which amused John
Silver terribly.
- Catch some fish for breakfast,-
the one-legged man began to cry, - be careful not to get caught in the teeth of the sharks!
Lapezia silently crawled onto the lower deck and
offendedly went to the wardroom, where he vile
got drunk with Vlad on D-day, shortly before
hour.
John Silver lined up his team and
began to give orders. Within an hour, the cruiser was in full combat readiness and was moving at full speed across the
golden ship. Sitting in the cabin, John and
Shtoza had a pleasant conversation, sitting on barrels of gunpowder around the table and drinking rum.
- Cleverly done, - Silvera praised
Shtoza, - the plan was good.
- Yes, not bad, - agreed the one-legged man, -
knowledge of the psychology of the enemy is sometimes
very useful. So, with your help
without much difficulty I offended Lapezia and already
knew that he would get drunk, but the fact that
he got Aleshchenko drunk is, of course,
luck,” the pirate leader noted.
The devil looked at his watch and said:
“There are two hours before the confrontation.” We are ready...
Both interlocutors fell silent. They thought about those countless treasures that were located a couple of hours away from them. Those incalculable riches also thought about
the pirates, who were two hours away from them, and, therefore,
guarded by all the armed forces of this
republic. The pirates did not know this and were
dreaming.
And in the wardroom it continueddrinking party.
Aleshchenko took the bottle from the SBM agent and, lifting its bottom high, poured the liquid
into the internal water intakes. Lapezia
watched this and slowly became offended.
Offended, he sobered up - to spite Vlad and
the pirates, who did not expect such
disgusting from the smurr.
Evil Lapezia walked along the cruiser and got excited
at every occasion. But, either the carburetor
was clogged, or the starter was damaged, it was unable to start. Then he saw the ship's clock and realized with fear that, according to the Program, the meeting would take place in two minutes. The program did not correspond
to the official version. Therefore, Lapetia was
the only intelligent being who
possessed such information. The Minister of the Armed Forces did not count. He could no longer walk, speak, or think. Lapezia ran into the main control room and, breaking the glass, pressed the button. The glass did not give way immediately. The agent hammered at the armored glass for half an hour with the sledgehammer he had stored, and only
when he pressed the button, he calmed down and
looked out of the control room.
The battle lasted about 30 minutes. The superiority of the enemy forces was obvious. Hundreds of combat units were at war. There was a
fierce battle between the pirates and the
enemy army. All types of
weapons were used, including nuclear weapons. Bombs exploded here and there. Arrows and spears whistled.
The sky was blackfrom boomerangs. Blood was flowing. It seemed as if the devil himself was playing a joke on the
pirates and sent his forces to
the only cruiser of Makarovgrad
"G.O.khiya" The dragons advanced, spitting fire
at the cruiser. Their attack was repelled by a massive salvo of all side and stern catapults. Greek
fire was used. The pirates responded with napalm and burned ten enemy aircraft carriers.
Shtoza was spinning like a carousel in his
firing point. The weapon had reached a critical temperature and was ready to melt. The order to melt down had not yet been received. The sheet of steel was covered with small dots on all
five sides. There was nothing left to celebrate - the chalk had run out. The planes
one after another shot down, caught fire,
exploded, crashed, landed,
destroyed, broke, which amused the
mad Pole.
The cruiser broke through to the barge filled with
gold. The pirates went on board. Using hooks
pulling the barge to the side of the "G.O.hia", the crew
poured onto the enemy ship. Slashing and stabbing with swords, tearing off and biting off with their teeth, the pirates moved forward...
... Lapezia came out of his cabin. He had a well-known
suitcase clutched in his hand. Aleshchenko came out after him.
He deceived the pirates and now there was no need to pretend to be drunk.
Shouting over the explosions and screams,Lapetia
said:
- I'LL BE BACK...
Aleshchenko shook his hand and the smurr took off,
transforming into a goose. He pointed his beak at the barge, where the battle was in full swing, and flew at full speed towards the unsightly door - the entrance to the gold vault. All he had to do was catch the gold in the sight of the case, the electronics would have done the rest in an instant...
... The best forces of the enemy were moved towards the pirates. The pirates united
all twenty detachments that reached the barge
into one wedge and wedged themselves into the enemy’s camp.
Over the battlefield, that is, the barge, there was smoke from fires, fires and Lapezius,
who was just waiting to see gold.
The brave filibusters had a hard time. One of the pirates had his belly ripped open with a sword and his smoking entrails fell out onto the deck, where they were trampled by the raging crowd. A bloodbath immediately began.
The pirates wanted to avenge the death of their
friend and attacked the enemy with hellish fury. The enemy was in confusion, where he was cut down. Blood poured into the sea over
the edge of the barge deck. The chopped up corpses were thrown overboard, where they were eaten by sharks. The battle was dying down. The enemy's resistance was broken and thrown overboard, followed by the corpses. Soon in
the PQ-40 square there was only a cruiser left,
slowly overgrowingholes and lacerations
in the hull, and a barge pulled
by grappling hooks where the
battle ended. The exhausted guards of the gold were crushed by exhausted pirates and eaten by exhausted sharks, simply tired of eating. Everyone was so tired that they did not
notice Lapetius, who swooped down on the door like a vulture
and, for some reason, pressed
the case to a small armored
window that served as an embrasure...
... Having rested a little, John Silver
approached the door leading to the vault, and
solemnly blew it to pieces from a hand
cannon and, not less solemnly, he walked into the torn passage. Everyone fell silent in anticipation. Suddenly the door swung open and a paper-white one-legged pirate appeared in the doorway.
“It’s gone,” John said in a trembling voice, “the gold... has disappeared!
The dead silence exploded with bewildered
screams, curses and bad words,
which are at least indecent to cite here. Shots and explosions sounded again. You could hear the screams and moans of people dying for no apparent reason. Immediately
the culprits of this incident were found
and a group of pirates led by John
Silver separated. A
fierce firefight began, in some places
turning into hand-to-hand combat.
The filibusters died one after another untilThe last one remained, who died from loss
of blood. And above all this hovered the angel of death
the hero of the occasion - Lapetia. He made
a couple more circles over the extinct barge and
flew to the cruiser.
- Is everything all right? - asked Aleshchenko, nervously smoking his pipe, - do you have gold?
- What about it! - the cheerful smurr landed
on the deck to Vlad and Shtoza, - Here it is -
the gold of Makarovgrad!
Lapetia proudly showed the audience the case and
added:
- Home, heading for Suydinka!
The plan was carried out - the gold was captured,
witnesses were destroyed, the cruiser was intact, another
another external enemy was destroyed.
Glory to the SBM agents!
