The formation took fifteen hours and finally passed through the port of Suez and reached the Red Sea.

Yang Meng drove the boat and looked left and right: "This Red Sea looks really red." ”

Xiao Peng said: "This is not the sea red, but the red seaweed inside, which will become like this every year at this time." In addition, in Turkic culture, the north is black and the south is red, so it is called the Red Sea. I'll go lie down for a while, and you'll keep an eye on it. ”

The Red Sea is the most salinous sea on Earth. Not to mention that the Dead Sea is more salinous, it has a sea in its name, but it is actually just a lake.

The Red Sea Passage is arguably the most difficult shipping route in the world, with rugged terrain and varied terrain and twisted coastlines in the north, and narrow navigation lanes in the south due to the massive growth of coral reefs.

Therefore, since ancient times, a large number of ships have sunk here, and it is one of the regions with the highest density of shipwrecks in the world.

For example, the famous Blue Thistle munitions ship is buried here.

The Blue Thistle was a World War II munition ship of England that was bombed by two German planes in 1941 and sank to the bottom of the Red Sea. The cabins are stocked with a variety of classic British military vehicles, as well as weapons and equipment.

But Xiao Peng didn't pay attention to the shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea, the Red Sea is a holy place for diving, and the shipwrecks in the shallow water are all salvageable, and the shipwrecks in the deep sea are a waste of time, so Xiao Peng did not waste time on the wreck, but was attracted by the creatures on the bottom of the sea.

You know, the Red Sea is one of the top three diving destinations in the world, not only because of the clear blue waters, but also because of the diversity of life underwater.

Most of the fish here have colorful appearances or strange appearances. For example, clownfish, for example, devil scorpion fish. This is very rare for Xiao Peng, who is accustomed to seeing water creatures in temperate and cold zones.

I don't know how long it took, there was a knock on the door: "Come in!" Xiao Peng opened his eyes and beckoned someone to come in.

"Brother Peng, what are you thinking?" Xiao Peng followed the prestige, only to see Gina come to his cabin with three children.

Xiao Peng sat up from the bed: "It's okay, I'm just resting." Is there anything you have to do?"

Gina smiled and said to Sovia and the others, "Quick, show Brother Peng your learning results." ”

"Learning outcomes?" Xiao Peng asked puzzled, picking up the drink on the side and taking a sip.

I saw Sovia and Oleg Igor standing in a row, and suddenly bowed to Xiao Peng together: "Hello boss!"

The Coke in Xiao Peng's mouth squirted out directly. Gina laughed.

"What are you doing? What kind of mess is this?" Xiao Peng glared at Gina.

Gina looked aggrieved: "Didn't you ask me to teach them Huaxia? I let them watch Huaxia movies and TV to improve their Huaxia language skills, and this is the result." ”

Xiao Peng was speechless: "What did you show them?"

"Crazy Boy. Gina replied.

Xiao Peng's eyes narrowed together: "Gina, come here." ”

Looking at Xiao Peng's expression, Gina shook her head desperately and slowly retreated, wanting to slip out of the door.

Every time Xiao Peng showed this expression, it was definitely not good.

Xiao Peng saw that Gina wanted to run, how could he give her a chance, jumped up directly from the bed, grabbed Gina, directly pressed her down, and slapped Gina on the ass a few times. Seeing that Suo Wei and the others were snickering on the side, Xiao Peng smiled coldly, no one could run, and Xiao Peng slapped Xiao Peng three times on everyone's buttocks. It's okay now, the four people in Xiao Peng's cabin are crying together, how spectacular.

Xiao Peng was stunned and looked at Gina: "Sovia, it's just that they're crying, why are you crying?"

Gina sobbed and said, "Gina, Gina is happy。。。。。。 ”

Xiao Peng almost fell, are you still happy to beat you? But it's understandable when you think about it, Gina has been alone for a few years, and no one cares about her.

Xiao Peng snorted coldly: "Don't think that I can soften my heart when you cry, tell you, it's impossible!

Gina was stunned: "What is the Pleasant Goat? Is the new breed of carnivorous goat? Is it delicious?"

Xiao Peng felt that he had a headache: "Don't let me watch anything! In the future, I can only use dialogue to improve my Huaxia language level!"

"But。。。。。 What else did Gina want to say, "It's nothing!" Xiao Peng directly interrupted her: "Do as I say, I don't want to bring back a bunch of little hooligans! Gina, if you don't teach them well, see how I clean you up." ”

Gina cocked her ass: "Brother Peng, if you want to beat my ass, you can just say it, I can't let you beat it?"

Xiao Peng was completely speechless.

Gina was not stupid, she looked at Xiao Peng's face red and white for a while, and ran out directly with the children.

Gina's hearty laughter could be heard in the hallway. Xiao Peng then understood, Made, this is being teased by Gina.

This kid is bad at learning。。。。。。

Oh, that's not right. She doesn't seem to be a good boy in the first place. No matter what, if you're naughty, you'll be beaten, anyway, she seems to be fatter, and there's meat on her ass, and it feels good. No, no, what do you think!

Xiao Peng let Gina toss his thoughts, and after thinking about it, Xiao Peng simply covered his head and fell asleep, and he didn't think about anything when he fell asleep.

In the next few days, Xiao Peng simply ate, slept and ate, had time to check the children's Huaxia language level, and relaxed a little, this is also a revenge mentality, Yang Meng, don't you like to load the captain?

On this day, Xiao Peng got up together, but he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.

Xiao Peng washed his face and walked to the cockpit, only then did he realize that something was wrong. The ship did not even move forward and had already dropped anchor?

"Mengzi, why did you break down?" Xiao Peng asked.

Yang Meng watched Xiao Peng walk in: "Wake up, we've reached the edge of the Gulf of Aden, what should we do next?"

"Arrived in the Gulf of Aden, so fast?" Xiao Peng felt that it had not been long yet.

Yang Meng glared at him, "Hurry, let's hurry up, it took more than three days, do you still think it's fast?" The key is that the Red Sea route is too dangerous, and Yang Meng and the others are not familiar with it, so they can only walk slowly, and finally reach the edge of the Gulf of Aden.

The Gulf of Aden, which holds the southeastern exit of the Mediterranean Sea and the entire Middle East, is the choke point into and out of the Suez Canal, and of course, it is also the most notorious strait in the world because of the famous Somali pirates.

Here, on average, a ship is hijacked every four days, and it is a major area of global piracy, also known as Pirate Alley.

At the same time, the Gulf of Aden is also the best protected marine resources in the world, with unique biodiversity in the world and rich biological resources. This is due to less anthropogenic pollution near the Gulf of Aden, as well as low catches.

Of course, it's not surprising that the Gulf of Aden, with Yemen to the north and Somalia to the south, do these two extremely poor countries have industrial systems that can pollute the oceans? Or to put it another way, do these two countries have industry?

As for the fishing industry, it is generally limited to inshore fishing. Fishing skills are still at the level of hundreds of years ago, how many fish can be caught? Pelagic fishing? Sorry, that thing is too advanced to have any.

Then why aren't there other ocean-going fishing vessels coming to fish? Come on, you haven't dropped your net yet, and a bunch of pirate ships are already surrounding you.

It doesn't matter if you're a fishing boat or an oil tanker, as long as you can bring it back for ransom.

Don't think that Somali pirates are just picking soft persimmons, ordinary people in the world of Somali pirates will never understand: they once robbed Ukrainian freighters transporting 33 T72 main battle tanks, a large number of armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers and other small arms, and even tried to rob Russian warships, Dutch warships, French warships, Chinese warships, and even challenged the most advanced Bald Eagle cruiser in the Stars and Stripes.

They don't care what type of ship they belong to, as long as they hit the muzzle of the gun, they will rob it.

"How do you get through?" Yang Meng asked.

Xiao Peng looked at the chart: "Two hundred nautical miles away from the Somali coastline, along the Yemeni coastline." ”

"It's not safe over there in Yemen. Yang Meng voiced his concerns.

Yemen, located in the southwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula, is one of the least economically developed regions in the world, with food self-sufficiency and serious desertification, and the most important cash crops in Aden are cotton and coffee. The name Mocha coffee comes from the port of Mocha in Yemen.

The country itself is already poor, and in 2015 there was war, and the capital was occupied by Houthi rebels.

Why is there such a war in such a poor country? Speaking of which, we have to bring up the issue of the factions of Islamic countries.

The main sects of Islam are Sunni and Shia. Although they are both brothers in Islam, they themselves do not like each other.

This is related to the two schools of doctrine, simply put, after the death of Muhammad, the founder of Islam, there were four leaders in a connection, but only the fourth was of the Muhammad family. So are the first three bosses?

Those who think that they are all bosses are Sunnis, and those who think that only Muhammad's family is the bosses are Shiites.

Across the Middle East, Sunnis are overwhelmingly represented. But it's another thing to get into countless countries. For example, Iraq, Iran, Azerbaijan, Bahrain and other countries are all Shia in the majority.

There are some exceptions, such as Syria, which is predominantly Sunni, but the president in charge is Shia, and it is a small branch of Shia.

The fact that several of his neighbors are reluctant to see him due to the war and the flight of refugees in Syria also has a factor in this: the Shiite countries consider you refugees to be Sunnis, and the Sunni countries consider your leaders to be Shiites. Well, it's that embarrassing.

In Yemen, the Houthis are Shiites, and the former regime is Sunni.

This armed conflict is also seen as a game between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The former, representatives of the Shiites, the latter, the Sunni powerhouse. Yemen, the backyard of Saudi Arabia.

No one wants their own enemies living in their own back garden, right?

Of course, the impact of the war in Yemen is not limited to that. It also has an impact on China.

The most direct manifestation of this is that China's escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden has returned home. After all, almost all of the Chinese escort fleet is in Yemen for supply, and without supplies, how can the escort mission be carried out?

It is precisely because the escort fleet is gone, so now that he has to pass through the Gulf of Aden, Yang Meng is so cautious and waits for Xiao Peng's opinion.
