It stands to reason that ordinary pirates would not dare to provoke merchant ships that have already been escorted by special forces on board.
After all, pirates are just a wild thing. They are incomparable with the tactical qualities of professional soldiers, and their equipment is all over the world. No one wants to go through the trouble of having to deal with it.
But the problem is, sometimes people are unlucky and their teeth become clogged even when they drink cold water.
Looking at those small boats, Fatty Wei's first thought was whether they were the ones he encountered the day before yesterday.
The more you look at it with a telescope, the more similar it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more similar it becomes.
"It seems like they..."
Qiang Yong said: "You can see clearly it's them at night with night vision goggles? Stop bragging, fat man."
Fatty Wei said: "That body looks like... to me."
Qiang Yong was delighted: "You can recognize them at a glance just by looking at your body? Fatty, you are an owl that has become a spirit. People here all look the same. What's more, at night they naturally wear disguises. Can you still tell what they look like?"
Fatty Wei really couldn't see the details of his appearance in the night vision device, he could only see the human form clearly, but he had an intuition...
"I think it's them..."
Fatty Wei was actually right.
This group of pirates is indeed the same group as the previous group.
However, they did not come to this ship on purpose.
It's just that the previous deal fell through because Li Zheng's tactical team lowered the merchant ship to escort them, so when they returned, they were scolded by the leader. He was so scolded that he almost killed the little leader on the spot with his gun.
.
The little leader who led the team to hijack the ship the day before yesterday is called Urban. In the pirate circle, making a mistake is a thing that damages your reputation.
After all, everyone relies on performance. Whoever can successfully hijack an order, get a generous ransom, and have everyone who follows you have soup to drink, naturally your prestige will be high.
If you follow you, fail every day, eat ginkgo every day, lose gas money on one trip, and can only drink northwest wind, then no one will be willing to follow you anymore.
Somalia is a jungle. Here, the basic order is force. Whoever has more people and more guns is the boss. There are so many armed organizations and warlord leaders, large and small. Don't think that you think they are powerful when you hear warlords. Maybe they are
He only has a dozen guns, and his territory is only two blocks or a few villages.
The previous robbery failed, and Urban's head almost exploded when the boss held a gun and used it as a watermelon.
Ever since, the more he thought about it, the more unwilling he became.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that my last failure was just bad luck.
Also, there are fewer people.
This time, he made a comeback and brought four speedboats with him, and he chose a time when night had just fallen - generally, most pirates here hijack ships during the day and return to rest at night.
Urban felt that he had to win by surprise, to catch his opponent unawares.
This time, he chose night.
There are also considerations when choosing this sea area.
The straight-line distance from the Somali coastline here is relatively closer. As long as the operation here is successful, it can return to its own sphere of influence in the shortest time.
All plans are perfect.
At this time Urban saw the big ship in front of him.
It's true that the emperor pays off his hard work.
The hard-working bird gets the worm!
"Brothers! Did you see the boat in front of you?! Kanda, you lead one boat to approach from the right, and I will lead another to approach from the left. Let's split up!"
After saying that, the four small boats divided into two groups and turned their horsepower to the maximum.
The long and narrow speedboat skimmed the sea like a flying fish and pounced on the target.
The distance is getting closer.
200 meters……
150 meters…
100 metres……
etc……
There was a strange muffled sound in the distance.
That familiar voice...
Urban frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he remembered what it was.
"Dodge! Dodge! Turn! Turn!"
He issued a warning.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
A cluster of dazzling flashes of light exploded overhead.
The light is like hundreds of high-wattage incandescent lamps turned on at the same time, shining suddenly into people's eyes.
Suddenly there was a light on the dark sea surface, and the mayflies in the sea were illuminated and sparkled.
Then came the all-too-familiar shockwave.
Peng——
Urban felt that the T-shirt on his body was ruffled, as if someone had pulled it violently.
Then, it felt like someone had punched me in the chest, and I almost lost my breath.
"They have soldiers! There are soldiers on board!"
Someone seemed to have discovered something and was shouting.
But he didn't wait for them to react.
Everyone heard the dull sound of emission again.
Pass--
Pass--
Pass--
"grass!"
Urban felt like he was going to collapse.
He shouted to his helmsman: "Turn around! Turn around! Get out of here!"
Peng——
Peng——
Peng——
The distinctive explosion of the flash bomb muffled his voice.
Urban collapsed directly in the boat, as if his soul had left his body. His consciousness and brain could not connect at all, and his computer was completely down...
"Why am I so unlucky..."
After a long while, he finally regained his breath.
This was the first thing he said.
When the subordinates next door heard this, they felt that the boss's voice was worse than crying.
…
5 o'clock in the morning the next day.
The merchant ship finally arrived at the designated sea area safely.
The six members of the escort team walked to the deck to wait. They had successfully completed the escort mission and were about to leave the merchant ship.
The captain came with a group of crew members to say goodbye. As parting was about to begin, it was inevitable that he would feel reluctant to leave again.
About half an hour later, as the morning light began to rise, the figure of HaiZhi 9C appeared in the distant sky. After carefully adjusting it, it slowly landed in the air about five meters above the deck. The engineer sergeant threw out the ladder.
, everyone climbed up one by one and got into the cabin.
The helicopter climbed slowly, and Li was sitting by the cabin door looking down. The captain and Lao Li were still standing on the deck and kept waving to him.
Li Zheng thought for a while, and finally raised his hand and waved to them as a polite reply.
Only Fatty Wei was holding his gun in the corner of the cabin, still frowning and thinking, looking absent-minded.
Li Zheng stretched out his foot and kicked him and asked: "Fat man, what are you thinking about?! Are you reluctant to part with the good food on the merchant ship?"
Fatty Wei raised his head and looked at Li Zheng, still thinking. After a long time, he said: "Li Zheng, I think the group of pirates last night and the group the day before yesterday are the same group of people! That's right! I can smell them.
Taste!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned.
Fatty Wei was stunned.
After a blast of bombs was fired last night, everything calmed down.
No one dares to follow me anymore with evil intentions.
As for whether the batch of HD last night was the batch the night before?
no one knows.
This is escort.
You never know what you will encounter, and it's hard to know if they are the same people.
Because they all look similar.
Just like Urban last night, he couldn't tell that the merchant ship he was trying to hijack in the night was actually the one that made him run away with his head in his arms before.
