At 11.28 north latitude and 49.52 east longitude, the Gandala branch of the Somali sailors, a well-known international pirate organization,

This is a small manor covering an area of 2,000 square meters, the white wall is surrounded by green trees, looming, several small white buildings in the manor are lazy and exquisite, everywhere reveals a bit of Mediterranean style,

Outside the manor, there is a three- or four-story building, which is very high-grade from the outside, and extends to the sea.

As one of the least developed countries in the world, and located in Africa, you can see a building no less than Nan'an urban area here, I have to say that this is a miracle.

The guy who called me was sitting in the office of the Somali Sailors Division in a snow-white suit, this guy was called Naban, the top leader of the Gandala Branch,

For his proficiency in Chinese, Naban is very proud, which he learned when he was young to work in a shop opened by Chinese, with more and more Chinese ships in the Gulf of Aden, his specialty can be shown from time to time, which makes him very satisfied,

When his subordinates watched him communicate with jerky language with reverent eyes, Naban's self-esteem was greatly satisfied,

Since the 911 incident in the United States, the government organization in Somalia has been overthrown by foreign forces, the Chinese boss has fled, and Naban has lived a period of poverty.

During that period of time on the streets, Naban lived a life that was worse than a dog, and he was numb to think that this was the end of his life, and that his life would never improve again until that day was ended by bullets flying from nowhere.

But the great and all-powerful Muhammad did not abandon Naban, and when he was at his most desperate, Somali sailors extended an olive branch to him.

Since joining the Somali pirates, his days of prosperity have come, and now he has not only mixed up with a villa, but also drove a brand new Audi car.

And those enthusiastic girls who didn't even look at him were even more desperate to squeeze home,

Thinking about this, and then thinking about it, there will be a huge amount of money in the account immediately, Naban is very excited, you must know that as the person in charge and commander-in-chief of this operation, he can get a reward of one or two million US dollars, which is not a small amount, if it were not for the turmoil in the country, this money would be enough for him to retire directly,

Chinese merchants are the way, as long as their ship is hijacked, they will always find a way to send the ransom as soon as possible, so that their crew and ship will not be lost.

This is the same as the Chinese boss who was very good to him at the beginning, they are all kind people.

As a matter of respect for these people, Naban was always very polite and tolerant to the hijacked Chinese crew, and would provide the best water and food to each other within the scope of his authority.

And as long as this deal is completed, it is possible that Naban's boss, the chief of Divaiyo, will transfer him to work at the headquarters of Erigabo, so as to stay away from the dangerous and backward Gandala,

People go to high places and water flows to low places, no matter where they are, what kind of work they are engaged in, this sentence will not be wrong, there is money to be made, and there is a chance to climb up, Naban is very concerned about the Chinese crew of this hijacking,

After instructing his men to go to the agreed location to collect the ransom, Naban went to the warehouse where the Chinese crew was being held again, and told the hapless crew that their boss had sent the ransom to Gandala.

Naban told the crew that he would let them and the tanker go as soon as the ransom was paid, and Naban felt satisfied and felt that he was a good man.

In fact, if these crew members really knew about the Somali pirate group, they would not be so nervous.

Speaking of credibility and not killing innocents, this is Naban's sense of the pirate group to which he belongs, and he believes that as a gang of robbers, he and his friends are merciful enough.

Hiding at the bottom of the sea, watching a speedboat drive away from a distance, I clearly saw that several Somalis on board were holding AKs and bazookas.

I'll wipe it, these boys' firepower is very fierce, and ordinary cargo ships can only be captured when they encounter these pirates.

I have heard retired old seamen say that the crews of the first batch of ocean-going ships in our country were all veterans of the Navy, and the sea was not as stable as it is now, but at that time, the ships were allowed to store guns, not pistols, but long guns.

The fierce Chinese man with good firepower was almost a nightmare for pirates from all over the world in those years, and then there was a bill in the world, and the ship was not allowed to carry a gun, only the captain's room allowed a pistol, which made the pirates arrogant again,

If you get drunk and drink the mountains, I don't know if it's true or not, and I also listen to it as a story.

The pirates saw the model of the speedboat floating on the surface of the sea early in the morning, drove the boat around twice, fixed the model to their ship with tools, and then drove back to the shore in a puff of smoke.

I placed Hachi at the bottom of the sea, returned to his consciousness, and patiently waited for the pirate's call.

Although Somali pirates have a good reputation in redeeming hostages, after all, their identity is fearful, to put it mildly, they are a bunch of mad dogs, who knows when they will break out and hurt people.

It was nearly an hour later that the call came in again, and I pressed answer, and the familiar awkward tone came from inside,

"Hey, my friend, you are very trustworthy and did not deceive us at all, I will release your crew and boat now, as a small gift for a pleasant cooperation, we will help fill the ship with fresh water,"

I'll go to it.,This also brings a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.,Buddy pays for a fresh water service.,This is a business idea with a roadside gas station.,They also send fresh water when they refuel,

"Okay, the money you asked for has been delivered, and the amount is correct, I think my crew, who heard it earlier, used the ship's satellite phone to report my safety, so be it,"

After saying these words, I hung up the phone, and it was still the same sentence, I didn't have the leisure elegance of chatting with pirates,

Only half an hour later, Luo Yuhang called with the ship's satellite phone,

"Boss, I'm Luo Yuhang, my brothers and I got out of trouble, the pirates let us go, and now we're all on board, our ship will sail back to Nan'an along the original route,"

"Great, everyone is okay, the brothers are not hurt,"

"It's okay, the brothers are fine, no one is difficult for us, but let the boss lose 10 million US dollars, brothers are ......

Boss, I'm sorry for you, if I wasn't careful, I wouldn't have made you lose so much money, and I would have taken such a big risk to send someone to send money to the pirates,"

Listening to the hoarse voice of this man in his thirties, I knew that he must have cried,

"What are the big men crying about, they are still soldiers, come out with a little manhood, people are fine, money can always be earned, you wait to contact Lao Ye, meet them as soon as possible, Lao Ye leads other boats to wait for you in front,"

Luo Yuhang sniffed twice, choked up: "Thank you, boss, whatever I say to my brothers, I will drive the boat back to you with all the tails, boss, I won't say anything more thanks, from now on, even if you ask me to kill someone, I, Luo Yuhang, will obey my orders, and never say anything,"

"Look at you, what are you talking about, when this ship comes back, I'm taking you a good time,

By the way, none of you should say anything about this incident, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble,"

"No problem boss,"

It's all upright men, there's no need to say too much, as long as these crew members can come back safely, I'm relieved, as for the ransom, sooner or later I have to let these pirates spit it out, I didn't pay much attention to it,

However, the generosity I showed greatly touched Luo Yuhang and his crew, as long as I was not frightened by this pirate hijacking incident, I would be the backbone of my ocean-going fleet in the future.

After comforting Luo Yuhang for a few words, I hung up the phone and hurriedly called Ye Tianyuan, who was still waiting on the route ahead, and told him the news that the ship and people had been redeemed from the pirates, which made Lao Ye excited.

Lao Ye will contact Luo Yuhang by himself, as for the follow-up voyage, they will coordinate by themselves, but I don't have to worry about it, I only need to pay attention to one thing now, that is, how to calculate these pirates,

Quietly lurking near the pirate's dock, Luo Yuhang's Suezmax oil tanker was slowly moving away, and after I watched them leave, I began to observe the layout on the pier nearby.
