The refugees were short of food and clothing, and their days were long, cold and hungry, which increased the violence. Therefore, piracy is just a form of violence at sea.

These actions were supported by refugees and residents, giving pirate activities a broad mass base. With the support of the people, pirate activities became more frequent and brutal.

Country S is located in the east of Africa and has a vast coastline. Due to the importance of its geographical location, ships from many countries need to pass through the waters of Country S.

For example, the Middle Eastern countries are rich in oil and natural gas resources and need to transport energy to all parts of the world by sea. European countries have extensive trade with Africa and Asia and need to transport goods through the waters of Country S.

Asian countries, which are among the largest trading nations in the world, need to ship goods to all parts of the world by sea. African countries, which are adjacent to country S, need to carry out trade and personnel exchanges by sea.

According to the investigation of the Chinese government, there are three pirate groups in Country S. One of the forces is the Chilan Guard, which is a very large pirate gang. The captain is Hassan Ali, and there are three deputy captains, Kader, Rahman, and Nur. The four of them are very united!

The composition of the Chilan Guard pirates is complex, including poor farmers and desperate local residents of the country, as well as militant tribal militants.

The second force is: Merrill's team, the captain is Merrill, and his assistants are Abdul, Ahmed, and Zakaria. They are fierce, brave, and ruthless. They are the remnants of the warlords.

The third force is the Seahawks, the pirate leader is Muhammad, and he has four capable men, Abdi, Hamed, Track, and Azari. The majority of the members are "migrant workers" from neighboring countries and regions, and local farmers who have nowhere to go.

The second force that intercepted the Chinese ships was the Merrill Squadron, which was well-organized and strictly managed! They established positions such as "Fleet Marshal", "Young Marshal" and "Financial Officer" to strictly manage the pirates. The pirates were well-trained, equipped with advanced equipment, and had a very high success rate.

The pirates may have used a tugboat as a "mother ship" and dispatched three speedboats to attack the passing ship. As the ship was fully loaded with cargo, it was at a low position in the sea, creating conditions for the pirates to board.

Fu Mo Ran immediately convened a meeting, and this time, all members of the special power team were dispatched. The leader demanded that the 60 kidnapped crew members must be rescued safely.

The information shows that Merrill was born as a child soldier and was cruel and ruthless since childhood. When he was only 12 years old, Merrill was captured by the warlord in his hometown to serve as a soldier, and soon gained a foothold in the barracks with his bravery and ruthlessness.

A reporter familiar with Merrill said: "Once, Merrill followed the warlord back to the village where he was born. When he found that his parents had died of poverty and illness, he burned the entire village. He was only 15 years old that year!" Merrill's "brave performance" immediately impressed the warlord, who soon made him a platoon leader and promoted him to squad commander within two years. However, this did not satisfy the greedy Merrill.

At the age of 21, he led his cronies to shoot the warlord who had helped him to succeed, and then he established himself as the king and seized the position of the number one warlord. Merrill, who wanted to make a fortune, decided to create a new pirate team by combining the military organizational structure with the mafia's tactics.

It didn't take him long to recruit all the nearby small pirates under his command with the weapons in his hands, and the size of his team quickly expanded to about 1000 people.

Then, he established positions such as "Fleet Marshal", "Junior Marshal" and "Treasurer" to strictly manage the pirates.

Merrill, who occupied the mountain and led the team, soon realized that "it is not easy to be the boss". Since S country is one of the poorest countries in the world, no matter how much he burned, killed and looted, it was difficult to feed nearly a thousand armed forces. How to use money to maintain strength became his biggest headache. He soon turned his attention to the ocean - "asking for money" from the approximately 4.8 international ships that passed through the waters near S country every year. In order to facilitate "marine operations", Merrill forcibly requisitioned the only few large fishing boats that could go out to sea in the local area and transformed them into "pirate mother ships". Later, he bought dozens of speedboats at a high price and assigned them to each "pirate mother ship".

The "pirate mother ship" takes turns cruising out of port every day and can launch attacks on various ships sailing within 600 kilometers from the coast.

Once the "prey" is discovered, the "pirate mother ship" disguised as a fishing boat will immediately lower the speedboat and encircle the "prey".

Faced with fully armed pirates, crew members often have no choice but to surrender.

Merrill was "very principled": he would not harm the hostages as long as the shipowner was willing to pay the ransom. During the bargaining period, Efoya would determine the ransom based on the value of the captured ship and the nationality of the crew.

It was revealed that Merrill, who was proficient in international money laundering techniques, earned at least $3000 million a year by hijacking ships and extorting ransoms.

Efya used part of the money to "reward" himself and his men, buying luxury cars and villas, and most of the rest was used to buy better speedboats, the most advanced communication equipment, and more advanced weapons. It is said that Merrill's pirate team used the most advanced weapons in the world.

Merrill was well aware of the importance of support from the people and local officials, so he also allocated part of the ransom to local poor fishermen or bribed local officials.

In order to make his pirate behavior seem less despicable, he even set up a "press spokesperson" to declare to the public: "Because the S country government is unable to safeguard its maritime rights and interests, foreign ships have flagrantly violated our territorial sovereignty and plundered Somalia's fishery resources. Asking them for money is just compensation to us. We are the maritime defense force of S country!"

Therefore, they were the first pirates to defend the interests of the country and the people. However, he was indeed supported and loved by the local people.

Zhao Lei said: "This guy is a master! He is a talent. It's a pity for him to be a pirate. He should run for the president of Country S."

Our crew has been captured for 6 days, so Fu Moran and his team must take the ransom and set off as soon as possible.

Including Fu Moyan and Qin Xiaoxiao, there are now a total of 16 people with special abilities in China. However, Yun Duoer just gave birth to a child and is still in confinement, so she cannot participate in this mission. The other 15 members will all participate.

Everyone went home to pack their luggage and gathered at the institute on time at 19:00 in the evening.

Fu Moran went home and told Qin Xiaoxiao and Grandpa Fu about this matter. He also had a good time with the four children. He didn't know how long this trip would take.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt that she owed her child a lot. She was either in a coma or on a secret mission, and she had no time to spend with her child. Seeing that the child was almost six years old, she almost missed the child's childhood. She was really not qualified as a mother.

Qin Xiaoxiao held the four little ones in her arms and said leisurely, "I'm sorry, Mommy is an unqualified mother!"

The four little ones kissed Qin Xiaoxiao, and Han Bao said, "No, in the hearts of my brothers, mom is the best mom in the world, and dad too!"
