The conversation between the two was in Chinese, and Kunir could not understand the content of the conversation. But judging from the expressions of the two, he understood their inner thoughts. But he did not care. He had seen such expressions.
You have to get used to it, no, you have become numb. Any white or yellow person who sets foot in this country for the first time will definitely have deep pity on their face when they see this place. However, soon after, these outsiders will also harden their hearts.
Like iron, he is more concerned about his own personal safety.
Quenier is a talkative person. He turned back from the passenger seat and told the two of them about Bosaso's customs and people's livelihood. Judging from the orders given to him by his superiors, the identities of these two guests were by no means simple, and they had to be well served.
, maybe I still have a chance to rise to fame.
Finally, Wang Xiaowu brought up the famous Somali pirates and asked if the piracy problem was serious.
Hearing this question, Kunil looked a little sad, rubbed his hands and said: "In the past two years, life has been difficult for pirates..." Looking at Kunil's sad expression, Chen Ziyun and Wang Xiaowu both looked a little sad.
Wonderful, Chen Ziyun even thought to himself, could it be that Kunir is secretly colluding with pirates, or is he already doing pirate business?
But after listening to it, the two of them understood that many of the so-called Somali pirates were actually local fishermen. It turned out that they did this kind of business because they couldn't survive. Anyway, there are a lot of weapons in Somalia. An AK-47 is almost the same.
It's the price of a few kilograms of meat, and one egg can be exchanged for five bullets during the famine last year.
When the cost of piracy is not high, just a few weapons and a broken fishing boat can be sailed out of the Gulf of Aden and swaying in the Indian Ocean. When encountering a cargo ship, they will swarm them, subdue the crew, and then start looking for someone to contact the ship owner or freight company and offer a price to extort money.
Pirates rarely take the initiative to kill people unless absolutely necessary. Their purpose is just to make money. When some people get rich, more people follow suit, and then this piracy trend intensifies, eventually forming a line.
The threat to the "industrial chain" is so great that countries have to dispatch naval escorts.
It is precisely because of the naval escort that the pirates have a hard time. In previous years, no more than ten or twenty cargo ships were hijacked, and the Somali pirates were embarrassed to say hello to others and say that they were pirates. Since the Gulf of Aden escort
In the fight against piracy, last year, only five ships were hijacked on the entire Somali island. But in the first half of this year, not even one cargo ship has been hijacked. Many pirates at the gangster level are too poor to take the blame.
Low-level officers like Quinnier who are stationed in the local army are more or less involved in some interests with some large-scale pirate groups. The pirates have no business, and their income will naturally decrease. It is normal to have a sad look on their face.
.
Chen Ziyun and Wang Xiaowu looked at each other. They didn't know that these pirates, which caused great headaches to the navies of various countries, turned out to be such characters. Wang Xiaowu was even more disappointed. She thought these pirates should be like Jack in "Caribbean Island"
He looks like a captain, with smoky makeup, wearing weird clothes, and moves weirdly, but he is very heroic.
Finally, Wang Xiaowu asked curiously: "These pirates can't rob ships, so do they usually engage in other professions?"
Kunnier looked strange, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Yes, there are some people who work as bodyguards for fishing boats."
…
"Geshu, these are the Somali pirates you are talking about?" Wu Yuchen looked disappointed, took off his sunglasses, and said depressedly. Geshu and he sat side by side on the back chairs on the deck.
This is a ship that looks like an Arabian dhow. This kind of ship is often seen on the sea in Bosaso. Only by careful observation can you find that it only looks slightly similar. In fact, this is a ship.
Modified yacht. In a place like this, even if there is a luxury yacht, no one would dare to park it here, otherwise the local pirates would not dismantle it and land it.
So Geshu could only order a yacht that was modified to look like a dhow. In this place, it is too low-key to be too low-key. Fortunately, Geshu and others are also somewhat famous in Bosaso, ordinary thugs and pirates,
Knowing that this unique yacht belonged to Ge Shu, no one dared to make any plans.
In front of Ge Shu and Wu Yuchen, stood seven thin black men holding guns and two bullet belts hanging sideways on their bodies. According to Ge Shu, these seven people are relatively notorious pirates in the local area, but the pirate business has been declining recently.
It was easy to do, so they switched careers and worked as bodyguards for local fishing boats.
Of course, even if you work as a bodyguard, you are not a regular bodyguard. Generally, ship owners who hire pirates as bodyguards are not good people. They often occupy a piece of sea area with rich fishery and do not let other fishermen in. Any fishing boat intrudes into them.
Delimited sea areas, then these "bodyguards" can play their due role.
After listening to Ge Shu's explanation, the muscles on Wu Yuchen's face became a little stiff. After a while, he shook his head and sighed: "It's so inhumane!"
Geshu sneered and said: "There was a severe drought in the eastern corner of Africa the year before last, and Somalia was the most severely affected. Tens of thousands of children died of starvation. You were not here at the time. Only if you were here would you know what is truly inhumane.
What."
Wu Yuchen felt a chill in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Stop talking, I'm drinking."
Geshu smiled, raised his glass and said to Wu Yuchen: "The wine and meat in Zhumen are stinky, and the bones are frozen to death on the road. This is not only the case in ancient times, but this kind of life, you rich people who were born with golden keys cannot see it. This is
A large number of people in the world are in heaven but think they are in hell."
Wu Yuchen smiled lightly and said, "You invited me to this place to play, isn't it just to express your feelings about life with me?"
"Of course not, I have a deal I want to make with you." Ge Shu lowered his voice and said, "Do you still remember the woman who stole your dark horse?"
After Zen Shiqi left that day, he did not go far away, but found the place where the injured old Ivan and the old ghost were hiding, waiting for the return of Hansen and the others.
When Ye Ya signaled that the three of them could leave, the three of them were relieved. However, when they turned around and saw Chan Shiqi, their nerves became tense again. But this time, Chan Shiqi did not rush over and start a killing spree like he did when they first met.
Instead, she told them that she wanted to hire them to perform a mission in Africa, and the conditions given by Zen Seventeen were also very generous. She was willing to pay them extremely high salaries.
Hansen and others have a grudge against Zen Seventeen. Fujii Shu in the team killed her hand, and the old ghost and Ivan's injuries were also thanks to her. It is strange that they can easily agree to cooperate with her.
.
However, the conditions put forward by Zen Seventeen made it impossible for them to be tough enough to refuse.
