"Oh no, boss, we met pirates, they came up, everyone is fighting, but it doesn't have much effect, the other party has a gun! We only have fishing guns to shoot fish!" A crew member ran over in horror, hit the door of He Zilong's room, and then woke him up, and reported a dumbfounded news to He Zilong.

"Pirate, are you sure?" He Zilong asked rhetorically, with a look on his face.

"Yes, boss, why don't you get off the boat and hide in the island forest, let's go and see first, if not, we will also retreat to the island......" The crew finished and ran out again.

He Zilong stood in place, stunned for three seconds, his brows furrowed.

Pirates?

Pirates are criminals who commit crimes that specialize in robbing other ships at sea. It's a fairly old criminal industry, and pirates have been around since ships sailed. It's no problem, it's reasonable!

But, but, but, the point is, is there a pirate in Asia in the modern world? Even if it's just out of the high seas in Asia?

The weakness of modern pirates is obvious, and they are inferior to regular warship forces. In addition to the Somali pirates often reported on the news, the famous modern pirate nation and the Moro people in the Philippines, the other He Zilong really don't have much impression and cognition.

"Wait, if you go any further, it seems like you're going to the Philippines, and you don't have to go through there. If it's a Moro pirate, the chance of hitting it is not very high, but it is always a chance, just like winning the jackpot, it is not completely impossible......" He Zilong suddenly thought of something.

Thinking about it like this, he felt a little bottomless in his heart.

After all, Philippine piracy is also linked to international criminal forces. If you think about the ivory smuggling that appeared before, there may be some connection.

He Zilong immediately ran out, and when he saw Sakura standing there, he was also scared. Hurriedly stepped forward, pulled her and walked towards the lower deck of the ship. If you really meet a professional pirate, then it would be good to have one of the dozens or hundreds of people in this boat, and go back intact. Especially for women, pirates are not friendly!

Maybe the kidnapping will go home, and when the rescue comes back, I will buy one and get one free in my stomach!

Coming to the cabin on the ground floor, He Zilong pushed open a utility room-like hatch and let Sakura in, and then said, "You hide in it first, after locking it, the thickness of this door is generally not open at all unless it is blown up with explosives." I went out to check on the situation, and remembered that if it wasn't for me, I didn't open the door in any situation. Our ships are parked on the coast, so we don't have to worry about drowning. And the crew will destroy and take away the keys, and it's not realistic to drive away!"

He Zilong's sentence was clear, reasonable, and organized, which suddenly made Sakura feel safe after listening to it. He nodded heavily, but then he thought of something, and asked rhetorically: "Zilongjun, why don't you hide here too......"

"I'm the boss, and I'm a man, and I can't run away in advance until the last moment. And if the situation improves, it can also help, wait for me here. Well, there's some bottled water over there, and you can take it in and put it in, just in case, I mean, as long as there is water, people can't die without eating for half a month, and it's dangerous if they don't drink water for a week. Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario, wait for me to ......," He Zilong replied.

After coming out, He Zilong took out the eldest brother and wanted to call for help, but found that there was no signal.

"How could it be, there was still a signal before going to bed. Is this broken machine a problem with the signal tower, or is it a ......?" In doubt, He Zilong saw Luo Dong running over with a fishing gun and knife in his hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to converge, Li Dawei looked for He Zilong everywhere, and he was also with Luo Le.

"How's it going......" He Zilong asked.

"The situation is not good, the number of pirates is not too large, the weapons are not too good, but there are a few real guns and a dozen earthen guns, and some of our crew members have caught them and tied them to the steamer and gathered in the living room......," Li Dawei replied.

"Zilong, the remnants of your crew are now under the leadership of the captain, in some special terrain places, using fishing guns and angles, stuck there to confront the pirates, we can't get by. In a word, we're behind the pirates, but if they find out about our presence and bring in some people, we'll be under a lot of pirate pressure......," Rodon said.

"Stress can also be an opportunity, think about it, there are only three of us here, Sakura is hiding. As for a few of us, even if the pirates knew about it, they would send a dozen or so people at most to arrest us, and a couple of two or three earthen guns would be fine. After all, their main manpower is to attack the captain's side, and if we can contain it for a longer time and have more people, the captain's side may be able to counterattack......" He Zilong analyzed.

"It makes sense that for pirates, time is not good for them, after all, they will not see the light of day. I suggested that we go to the wheelhouse, which is a nice place, because of the angle, you can see most of the whole ship, and it has the advantage of a viewing angle. At the same time, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in addition, in case you can't hold it, jump into the sea, it is not far from the coast, and there are two or three directions to choose from, and the pirates will not see us for two or three people, let dozens of sea assets jump into the sea at the same time to catch us...... "Li Dawei also analyzed, not a veteran.

"Okay, that's it, let's sneak over......" He Zilong nodded.

A group of three people, when going to the wheelhouse, also have to pass through the living room, after all, it is a person who is familiar with this steamer, and it is large enough. The other side is not too manpower, and there are not many people guarding here. When He Zilong and the others passed by, they were lucky and no one found out.

I even took the time to look into the living room from a window to see what was going on.

But in the living room, there were a few pirates with guns, and they laughed wildly: "Shut up all for me, and hand over your money and valuable things first, otherwise, you garbage guys who know that are noisy, who are not honest, Lao Tzu will beat him into a sieve." As long as you cooperate, you will be taken hostage, and we don't like to deal with the Chinese government. You Chinese people are more afraid of things, but your navy is not easy to deal with!"

Knowing that the Chinese Navy is not easy to deal with, it seems that these pirates are not eaten in vain.

When we think of piracy, Somali pirates come to mind. Because of its "fame", it has already established international popularity. But that doesn't mean there are pirates in the world just for Somalia.

For many countries in the islands, if the economy is backward, many people will take risks and take the road of pirates. Because of the pale nature of the country, Somalia is rampant in the waters of the Gulf of Aden by virtue of its superior geographical location, which is the only way to hold an important international shipping route. And in a wave of Southeast Asian countries in Asia, there are also some people who just barely follow the same example and fulfill this sentence.

Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea, and rely on grabbing to eat and grab!

The Sulu and Celebes Seas in the Philippines are a haven for terrorists who like to make kidnappings to earn ransom. The misdeeds of Philippine pirates are also "well-known" internationally.
