Chapter 299

For the existence of pirates, ray Tiantang and John will not have any sympathy, what kind of humanitarianism can not be applied to them.

Piracy is rampant in the waters off Somalia! In addition to political unrest and arms, there are also many reasons:

1. The waters off Somalia are close to the Gulf of Aden, and the narrow waterway is an ideal place for piracy activities;

2. The Gulf of Aden, surrounded by Somalia and Yemen, is located between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, and is the maritime throat from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean through the Red Sea and Suez Canal It's important.

According to statistics, there are about 18000 ships passing through the Suez Canal every year, most of which pass through the Gulf of Aden. This important international waterway also provides a large number of targets for Somali pirates.

3. On the west side of the Gulf of Aden, there are two world-famous seaports, namely, the port of Aden on the north bank and the port of Djiboutian on the south bank. They are important fuel ports and trade transfer ports for the routes from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. They guard the southeast export of the Mediterranean Sea and the whole Middle East region. They have an important strategic position and are the throat of the Suez Canal.

As a result of poverty, most people have committed this crime in order to make a living. European fishing boats came to catch tuna, which made the fishery that fishermen depend on disappear.

4. Since 1991, Somalia has been in constant war and rampant piracy in its coastal areas, which has been listed as one of the most dangerous sea areas in the world by the international maritime administration.

It is reported that nearly 50000 ships from various countries pass through the waters near Somalia every year, most of which are cargo ships of large and small size, except for the warships of various countries that cannot be used.

Since 2012, there have been more than 80 pirate attacks off the coast of Somalia, with an average of one ship robbed every four days. Piracy has become rampant to the point of no return.

The reason why pirates are so rampant is still used to saying, "hijacking a ship can get a ransom, which is simply connivance to them!" The Somali diplomat in Kenya angrily said, "this is not a problem for Somalia, but an international problem. Because of the connivance of international shipowners, the pirate gangs have been raised and strengthened."

Most of the robberies happened in the Gulf of Aden, which is the sea throat from the Indian Ocean through the Red Sea and Suez canal into the Mediterranean and Atlantic Ocean. Of course, those pirates who have gained success now will not put their targets here. After all, there are too many escort formations in various countries.

Many countries' escort formations use the means of expelling pirates when they encounter pirates, and many merchant ships provide materials and money to these pirates with the so-called "Humanitarianism", which further connives at the development of pirates.

Of course, it is an unavoidable and arduous task for all parties to crack down on the local rampant pirate forces and ensure the safety of the international shipping industry. With these escort formations, although the lives of these pirates are not likely to be threatened, it is not so easy to think about robbing cargo ships.

As a result, the pirates with brains began to find new targets. They paid close attention to the news and the Internet at any time, and used various information channels to find valuable targets. As long as the distance was not particularly far away, their modified cargo ships could drive nearby, and then let the speedboats go down to rob.

Eve and his pirate gang are such intelligent pirates. After several big deals, their weapons and equipment have exceeded the acceptable limit in the Somali waters. Such a large target is easy to be targeted and eliminated.

Therefore, under his leadership, they usually break up into parts to find targets in the nearby ports, and also find valuable targets through the Internet and news. After confirming the targets, they gathered together to launch a modified cargo ship loaded with several speedboats to carry out robbery. This is how Lei Tiantang's salvage boats are targeted.

At this time, on this freighter with Panamanian flag, Eve is enjoying his dinner leisurely. He is very confident of his men. He has investigated the target of this time and found that there are several assault rifles. It is not necessary to surrender to see their rocket launchers!

If such a large and brand-new fishing boat and their salvage harvest are completed, it is estimated that we will not have to be busy this year if we succeed in this project. If the owner of the salvage boat and its employees wants to redeem it, he thinks that it is not a problem to ask for 50 million US dollars.

His subordinates are also fond of grass and gambling. Obviously, they all think that there will be a big harvest waiting for them. But at this time, suddenly someone rushed into the restaurant.

"Boss! Our radar found a helicopter and a ship. It seems that they are coming towards us! I remember that we were aiming for a helicopter and a yacht!

But none of us can fly a helicopter this time! Can it be that our people have fallen down and the target has turned into our trouble? "

Hearing his adjutant say so, Eve put down his knife and fork and said with a smile, "no way! Our brothers are veterans with many successful experiences! How could they miss it! It is estimated that they successfully controlled the target, and then forced the pilot of that ship to fly a helicopter to report our good news!

Maybe we were worried that the helicopter couldn't pull us down, so we asked the yacht to pick us up again. Brothers, let's go and experience what it's like to take a private yacht! "Looking at the obviously drunk boss, the adjutant said eagerly, "boss! I think it's better to arrange for the brothers to prepare some defensive measures. What if our people don't come here?!

The most important thing is that all the people we send out have walkie talkies and satellite phones. How can there be no news coming back from such a short distance? "

Hearing his adjutant emphasize the danger again, Eve's mind also turned around. How could eve be a fool if he could develop a pirate organization to such a large scale now? He only said so with full confidence in his subordinates before. Now, he has noticed the problem.

We should know that their current communication means are also very advanced. Walkie talkie can be used at close range and satellite phone can be used for remote communication. Moreover, he has explained before departure that as long as the target is successfully controlled, he will be informed immediately. Now the helicopter and yacht are so close that no news has been transmitted, so there is a great possibility of problems!

"Come on! Come on! Come on! Go and get your weapons! We may be under attack! Hurry up! If something goes wrong, be careful, I'll take you to hang the shark!

Take your weapons and go out with me. We will meet these bold guys Evo yelled angrily.
