Chapter 368: When Somali Pirates Meet Lao Maozi

After listening to Ma Wei's words, the representatives of the Russian and Ukrainian military on the telephone line quickly said, "Mr. Ma Wei, I think this method of yours is very feasible! Including the high-pressure water cannon, it seems that it can indeed create a lot of time for the fleet to arrive at the scene! At the same time, it also solves the weakness of merchant ships that are unable to protect themselves. ”

Ma Wei's plan can be said to be quite comprehensive. If a warship follows a merchant ship, follow too closely. The Somali pirates will definitely slip away in advance. But if you follow too much, in case the pirates come on board and kill the crew. Even if the fleet arrives at the last minute, it will be a little too late......

Therefore, it is a very good idea to equip passing merchant ships with high-pressure water cannons. This gives civilian ships that are unable to possess weapons the ability to deal with pirates. At least it doesn't have to be like before, you can't run away when you see pirates, and you can't resist it.

Civilian merchant ships cannot be equipped with any weapons, as is clearly stipulated in international law. After all, countries around the world do not want weapons on cargo ships entering their docks, which will leave an incomparably huge and impossible hole for arms smuggling.

In addition, there are sometimes maritime conflicts between merchant ships of various countries. For example, some time ago, British and French fishing boats had a fierce battle over fishing problems. As a result, dozens of fishing boats collided with each other, during which the two sides also threw smoke bombs at each other, and the scene was very out of control for a while.

If these fishing boats were armed, the conflict would immediately escalate and would turn into a military fight. Escalate contradictions to diplomatic and political events. This is much more troublesome than pirate robbery......

"Then Mr. Mavi, I have a problem, that is, every merchant ship that passes through the Suez Canal, we must escort and guard. Isn't that too much?" asked Ma Wei on the phone at this time, the representative of the Z side, who had not expressed much opinion. His question can be regarded as the key to asking. But it's hard to answer positively.

"Then try to protect ...... Merchant ships worth protecting!" Ma Wei said tacitly over the phone. There are some things that can't be explained too clearly, or there will be a lot of trouble. The meaning of his phone call is also easier for the three parties present to understand, that is, to try to protect the merchant ships of Russia, Ukraine, and Z.

As for those countries that do not participate in joint operations, they are not funded. It's up to them to be lucky. As luck would have it, I happened to be at sea with the Combined Fleet. Bad luck, there was a time difference, and when I met a Somali pirate, I couldn't save it.

"Yes, Mr. Ma Wei! Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions today!" The representatives of the three parties expressed their gratitude to Ma Wei. The strategies he put forward are really high. The key is very practical, and it is not the kind of so-called experts and scholars who are full of theoretical knowledge and talk on paper.

"You're welcome, I wish you all the best in this joint operation!" Ma Wei said humbly on the phone. In fact, he is not the one who is completely out of the way.

After all, the tankers of the energy company, the cargo ships, have to go from the Suez Canal. The proliferation of Somali pirates also had a great impact on his business.

Moreover, there is also the Guardian-class frigate that he invested in and developed, which happened to test its strength in this battle. Let's see if it can be competent, this name of the Russian frigate in service, and the glory.

"Mr. Ma Wei, listen to your kind words, and wish us all the best in this joint operation of the three countries!" said the representative of the three countries on the phone, full of fighting spirit.

……

A week later, the naval fleet sent by Ukraine and country Z also successfully arrived near the waters of Somalia. And cooperate with the Russian fleet to jointly garrison this pirate-infested open sea.

The garrison task is rotated on a daily basis. That is, today the Russian fleet is in charge, tomorrow it will be Ukraine, the day after tomorrow it will be replaced by the fleet of country Z, and the cycle will start over and over again. If one day, it happens to be the turn of a certain country's fleet to be on duty, but there is an incident of a merchant ship being hijacked by pirates. That would be very shameless.

With the arrival of the Combined Fleet, Somali pirates, who were originally active at sea, gradually began to be cautious. At first, they thought that the fleets of the three countries would take the initiative to search everywhere on the sea like the previous two times. As long as you avoid the limelight, you won't have much trouble.

This time, however, with someone's tactical guidance, plus strategic deployment. Those Somali pirates can be described as kicking the iron plate.

For example, one day a week later, three speedboats departed from Somali territorial waters. Quickly on the high seas, a large Russian freighter was locked.

The pirates excitedly took the AK-47 and quickly approached the Russian freighter according to the previous method, wanting to board the ship and hijack it and drive the freighter back to Somali territorial waters.

However, what the pirates didn't expect was when they just approached the freighter. Above their heads, they suddenly poured down two columns of white-flowered torrent water! and soon, the two columns of water adjusted their angles in time and hit their speedboat impartially.

A group of pirates with AK-47s in their hands rushed to the point that they were on their backs and the sea water was drenched. Some pirates who didn't catch it firmly were washed into the sea just like that. The scene was very embarrassing for a while, and these experienced Somali pirates were simply caught off guard!

The crew half-crouched on the deck of the freighter, after seeing the high-pressure water cannon, it had a miraculous effect. Excitedly, he used the walkie-talkie to report to the captain's room, "Captain, we succeeded!

"Okay, well done! I've radioed the rear fleet. It is expected that they will arrive soon! Now pack up the pirates!" The captain responded excitedly.

A cargo ship of tonnage like theirs, even if it encounters a storm at sea, will not be too afraid. The only thing I am afraid of is being hijacked by force. In the past, they had no choice, and when they met Somali pirates on the high seas, they could only hope to survive.

Now, however, with the Combined Fleet, these changes have been brought. This makes the crew no longer have to worry about going to sea to make a living.

Eight minutes later, the light gray warship, which was guarding the back of the freighter, arrived at full speed at full speed. Soon caught up with the Somali pirate who wanted to turn around and escape in a speedboat.

I have to say that this batch of pirates is really very unlucky. But when the Russian fleet was on duty, he ran out to do evil.

You must know that when Lao Maozi meets terrorists, there is nothing humanitarian to talk about. In particular, it is Russia, the newly developed Guardian-class frigate. It's like hitting the muzzle of a gun. Directly aim the main naval guns in the azimuth, plus the cannon adjusts the angle.
