Chapter 353

Petru insisted on one principle - never kidnapping hostages to extort money from the government.

This ensured the trust of the countries that secretly communicated with him.

For this principle, he never even tried to kidnap some Arabs to threaten the Egyptian government so that they could release laviye. He knew that not only would that not save Ravier, it would also stink his reputation and bring more enemies.

In the process of integrating Somali pirates, the U.S. government has secretly provided a lot of help, and many large enterprises and rich people in Eurasian trade are also willing to pay for peace, so petru's career seems to be smooth sailing.

He helped many countries rescue the hostages and hoped to rescue raviye through some tortuous means. Both the United States and France have put pressure on Egypt to ask the Egyptian government to release Lavier. No matter what, petru's crime has nothing to do with his woman. However, the crimes he committed in Egypt were so great that other countries could not brazenly excuse a pirate, so the Egyptian government refused to let Ravier go.

Although they failed to rescue people, many people assured petru, including brokers of some government officials and influential rich businessmen. They promised that Ravier could live well in prison in Egypt, just like staying in a hotel.

Petru sent his confidants to Egypt. In addition to being lonely, Ravier's living conditions were really good. There is the credit of those brokers, and the most important thing is that petru is notorious, and no one wants to offend him. What if this madman comes back for revenge?

However, the long-term looting from the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Sea still offended many people. For example, India, which has an aircraft carrier and has always dreamed of dominating the Indian Ocean and controlling the golden sea route.

Petru once tried to show kindness to Indians, but the A-San did not seem to reach a tacit understanding with him. When the Fifth Fleet of the United States turned a blind eye to red beard, A-San's warships began to take the initiative to escort merchant ships in the Indian Ocean, especially Arab merchant ships.

Petru tried his best to avoid confrontation with the Indian Navy and bore a lot of losses. He was forced to reduce his scope of activities and even lost some of his maritime brothers who trusted him.

Many other pirate leaders began to blatantly oppose petru and threatened to replace him. They said he was a running dog of the government. The rules formulated were bullshit to help the government erode and eliminate pirates and make the poor in the Gulf of Aden have no place to turn over.

In order to prove himself, after a period of patience, petru decided to announce to the world that red beard is not easy to provoke.

He first bought two old submarines through international arms dealers, loaded with ammunition and lurking in the Carlsberg ridge. Then he carefully planned and personally led a group of elites who had crossed the mercenary world like him and later joined as pirates. They sneaked into Saudi Arabia and hijacked an Arab merchant fleet about to leave the Red Sea in Jeddah port.

The pirates disguised themselves as Arabs and went to a port in Asia according to the scheduled itinerary of the fleet. When leaving the Gulf of Aden, the fleet deliberately approached the Indian Navy's sphere of influence, and then was attacked by a small group of pirates. After sending a distress signal, an Indian destroyer came to rescue and easily sank the attacking pirate speedboat.

However, the merchant ship has failed due to pirate attacks, and began to sink after sailing under the escort of warships for some distance. Of course, these are all designed by petru to transfer his people to Indian warships.

The owner of this ocean going ship is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, and the goods and personnel on board are very important, which has been confirmed by the Indian Navy through their foreign ministry. Therefore, the warship received all the crew before the merchant ship sank and was ready to send them back to the Gulf of Aden for handover with Saudi Arabia.

Among the pirate elites led by petru, many Navy veterans are no strangers to warships. It is not impossible to control the destroyer by force under the unprepared of A-3 officers. But just in case, they took a more prudent approach, rescued a batch of delicious food mixed with poison from the sinking merchant ship and sent it to the ship's kitchen.

After a harmonious and pleasant military and civilian dinner, they easily controlled the warship carrying 230 Indian officers and soldiers.

Hijacking warships, which has never happened in the history of modern pirates, red bearded petru became the first person.

Of course it won't end like this. The Indian Navy was shocked when it learned that their warship was hijacked by pirates. On the one hand, it concealed the news and sent a fleet to search and rescue.

It is certainly not difficult to hide a destroyer in such a large Indian Ocean. But in that case, petru can only hide it as a private collection in a unknown harbor, and no news can be leaked. Ah San will never give in to this kind of thing if they are in trouble.

Petru knew very well that he could not have a maritime army that could compete with the great powers, so he did not intend to take the destroyer for himself.

He took the ship as bait and took the Indian navy fleet to rescue. He played a game of cat and mouse on the vast sea between karlsberg ridge and Maldives.

Of course, they could not really escape from the encirclement and suppression of the Indian Navy. So, after a week of circling, they were besieged on the side of the Carlsberg ridge.

When the Indian cat thought they had caught the mouse, two submarines lurking there raided them, and the kidnapped warships that had been running away began to fight back.

In the end, the Indian army successfully rescued their ship officers and soldiers, but they had to sink their kidnapped ship, and three other warships were seriously damaged.

Although the losses of the pirates are not small, including the sinking of a submarine after being torpedoed, and dozens of people died in the exchange of fire, compared with the strength of the two sides, this loss is really nothing in the eyes of outsiders.

The Indian Navy, known as one of the world's maritime powers and invincible in the Indian Ocean, can't beat a pirate. It's not so easy to lose face when it comes out. So the assassins didn't recognize the existence of this matter, and even didn't dare to retaliate against petru openly, because it would be true that they had been defeated by petru.

Moreover, they themselves do not believe that a pirate has the courage and ability to fight their navy like this. They suspect that it was secretly done by other countries in the name of pirates in order to test their strength and combat their expansion in the Indian Ocean. China, Russia, the United States and Australia have become objects of suspicion, and even they once suspected that Saudi Arabia had collusion with pirates.

India's hesitation and retreat gave petru a chance to breathe and develop.

The battle greatly encouraged the confidence of pirates. Pirates all over the world regarded red bearded petru as their idol and regarded him as the king of contemporary pirates. More elites began to join his organization. His power once extended to the Mediterranean and Malacca, and even some people committed crimes in his name in the Atlantic.

Red Beard's fame is at its zenith, and petru's legendary pirate career continues. Some even suggest that he simply land from Cape Fufeng, establish an armed government and occupy the whole of Somalia. If he succeeds, he is the head of a country's government. Lavier naturally becomes the first lady, and the Egyptian government has no reason to lock her up.

Some political brokers from Europe and America also hinted that they could support his plan, and petru was also a little moved. If he is given a few more years to make adequate preparations, maybe he can really start from pirates and establish his own empire like Barbarosa with red beard.

Petru was ambitious until he robbed a ship he shouldn't have robbed.
