I Have a Little Black Hole
Chapter 299 The spoiled pirate
For the existence of pirates, Lei Tiantang and John will not have any sympathy, and it is impossible for any humanitarianism to be applied to them.
Piracy off the coast of Somalia is rampant! In addition to political turmoil and arms and other reasons, there are many reasons:
1. The Somali waters are close to the Gulf of Aden, and the narrow waterway is an ideal location for pirate activities;
2. The Gulf of Aden, surrounded by Somalia and Yemen, is located between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. It is the maritime throat from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Its strategic position is very important.
According to statistics, about 18,000 ships pass through the Suez Canal every year, and most of them pass through the Gulf of Aden. And this important international waterway also provides a large number of targets for Somali pirates.
3. There are two world-renowned seaports on the west side of the Gulf of Aden, namely the port of Aden on the north bank and the port of Djibouti on the south bank. It is an important fuel port and trade transit port for the routes from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It guards the export of the southeastern Mediterranean and the entire Middle East. The region, with an important strategic position, is the throat of the Suez Canal.
Living in poverty, most people commit this crime in order to make a living. European fishing boats to catch tuna have wiped out the fisheries that fishermen depend on.
4. Somalia has been in constant war since 1991, and piracy activities are rampant in the coastal areas. It is listed as one of the most dangerous sea areas in the world by the International Maritime Bureau.
It is reported that nearly 50,000 ships from various countries pass through the waters near Somalia every year. Except for the warships of various countries that cannot be launched, most of them are large and small cargo ships.
Since 2012, there have been more than 80 pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, with an average of one ship hijacked every four days.
And the reason why pirates are so rampant is still accustomed to, hijacking a ship can successfully get a ransom, this is simply connivance to them! The Somali diplomat in Kenya said angrily, This is not a Somali problem, It is an international issue, because the pirate gangs have been raised and strengthened because of the connivance of international shipowners.
Most of the robbery took place in the Gulf of Aden, which is the sea throat from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Of course, now those pirates who have gained the sweetness will not put all their targets here, after all, the escorts of various countries. There are too many formations.
The escort fleets of many countries use the means of expulsion to combat pirates when they encounter pirates, and many merchant ships provide these pirates with materials and money with so-called humanitarianism, which further condones the development of pirates.
certainly,
Fighting the rampant local pirates and ensuring the safety of the international shipping industry is an unavoidable and arduous task for all parties. With these escort formations, although the lives of these pirates are not likely to be threatened, they still want to loot without any scruples. Cargo ships are not so easy.
Therefore, savvy pirates have begun to find ways to find new targets, keep an eye on the news and the Internet, and use various information channels to find valuable targets. As long as the distance is not particularly far, their modified cargo ships can drive nearby. Then let the speedboat go down for the robbery.
Ever and his gang of pirates are such brainy pirates. After a few big deals, their weapons and equipment are beyond the acceptable limits in the Somali waters. The target of such a big man is easy to be targeted and eliminated. dropped.
Therefore, under his leadership, they usually look for targets in various nearby ports, and also look for valuable targets through the Internet and news. After confirming the targets, they gather together and start a refit loaded with multiple speedboats. The cargo ship went to carry out the robbery, and that's how Lei Tiantang's salvage ship was targeted.
At this time, on this cargo ship with the Panamanian flag, Eve was enjoying his dinner leisurely. He was very confident in his subordinates. He had investigated the target this time, and what kind of assault rifles were there? Seeing their bazooka isn't about to surrender yet!
Such a big brand new salvage ship, and their salvage harvest, if this is done, it is estimated that this year will not be busy, those harvests are not mentioned, just this salvage ship and its employees, its boss. If he wanted to redeem it, he felt that it would be no problem to ask for $50 million.
His subordinates were also chasing grass and gambling, apparently thinking that another bumper harvest would be waiting for them. But at this moment, someone suddenly rushed into the restaurant in a panic.
Boss! Our radar found a helicopter and a boat, and they all seem to be heading towards us! I remember we had a helicopter and a yacht on our target this time!
But none of the people we visited this time can fly a helicopter! Could it be that our people are planted, and the target is looking for trouble for us?
Hearing what his adjutant said, Ever put down his knife and fork and smiled: Impossible! Our brothers are all veterans with many successful experiences! How could they miss! It is estimated that they successfully controlled the target and then forced The pilot on that ship came in a helicopter to announce the good news to us!
Maybe it was because the helicopter couldn't pull us down, so I asked that yacht to come and pick us up. Brothers, get ready and let us experience what it's like to ride on a private yacht!
Looking at the boss who was obviously drinking too much, the adjutant said eagerly: Boss! I think it's better to arrange for the brothers to prepare defensive measures. What if someone who is not ours comes over?!
The most important thing is that the people we sent out all had walkie-talkies and satellite phones. How could there be no news from such a close distance?
Hearing his adjutant re-emphasize the danger, Eve's mind turned around at this time. He could develop a pirate organization to such a large scale. How could Eve be a fool? Having said that, now that I have reacted, I have noticed the problem.
You must know that their current means of communication are very advanced. The walkie-talkie can be used at close range, and the satellite phone can be used for long-distance communication. He also explained before departure that as long as the target is successfully controlled, he will be notified immediately. Now the helicopter Since we are so close to the yacht, there is no news yet, so there is a high possibility of problems!
Quick! Quick! Quick! Get your own weapons! We may be attacked! Hurry up! If something goes wrong, be careful and I will use you to hang sharks!
Take your weapons and go out with me to see, we will meet these daring guys! Ever yelled angrily.
