Chapter 563: Harbor Standoff
The Somali regime's actual control over southern Somalia is weak, so the Somali government's unhired Tide Mercenary Corps is stationed in Kismayo and uses mercenaries to exercise control over the Kismayo region. In other words, here Gehry, the leader of the Tide Mercenary Legion, is the de facto Emperor of the Earth in Kismayo.
The cargo ship docked, the huge crane unloaded the containers on the ship, and our customs declaration list said that it was electronic components, in fact, when Gary came to Kismayo Customs with his adjutant, the leaders of the entire customs ran out to meet Gary, as for what was in the container, who dared to seriously review it?
Gehry and I were not in a hurry, except for the adjutant who followed Gehry, a whole squad of guards scattered around, and two snipers climbed to the commanding heights on the harbor tower crane to stand on guard. This is what I suggest to Gary to improve his security, after all, he is going to be in charge of a first-class mercenary army in the future, and it is good to get used to this kind of life as soon as possible.
Gary's car today is a Mercedes-Benz bulletproof car, which was originally smuggled for me, and just happened to come to the port today to receive weapons and drive out on the way. The car also did not have any license plates, and in fact the police in Kismayo did not bother with the license plate when they saw such a luxury car.
Seeing the marked container unloaded from the crane and put into the designated area, I smiled and before I could speak, I saw several modified off-road vehicles driving in the distance, which were fast and did not slow down at all when entering the port unloading area.
The adjutant subconsciously picked up the walkie-talkie and was about to notify the sniper at the height, when he saw me waving his hand.
"It's okay, it's a group of drag racing people, I don't know why they came here to drag racing. ”
These cars did not drive directly in front of us, perhaps because they saw the same very expensive Mercedes Benz parked in front of us, so at the intersection more than fifty meters away from us, several off-road vehicles stopped with a beautiful flick.
A couple of young men with apparently half-blood who stepped out of the car, dressed in cool clothes, looked at Gary and me suspiciously, but didn't come over.
"It can't be the group of friends and relatives that the pirates are looking for?" I joked.
Gary smiled and shook his head, "Maybe it's possible." ”
Ten minutes later, two dilapidated police cars drove into the harbor with police lights on and stopped next to several SUVs. The policeman who stepped out of the car looked at Gary and me before walking over and shaking hands with the young men.
Because of the distance and some backlight, they didn't recognize Gehry.
At this time, Gehry's phone rang, and it was the captain and the first mate. Two men hurried down from the boat, dressed in uniforms, and thanked Gehry in person. When I heard the cordial Chinese in a foreign country, I immediately felt very cordial. The captain and first mate were also very surprised when they heard me speak Chinese.
"You guys talk first, I'll go and get the weapons and equipment. Gehry patted me on the shoulder, shook hands with the captain and first mate, and left with the orderly.
"Brother, if it weren't for these weapons of yours, not only would we have lost the entire ship, but we would have been thrown into the sea. "The captain is a native of the Northeast, a tall man with great enthusiasm and a unique boldness of the Northeasterners. He took me by the hand and said, "I'm going to be the east tonight, we have to find the best restaurant in Kismayo to have a good drink, thank you for saving your life, and celebrate the safe landing of our boatload." ”
I thought about it, and it seemed like there really wasn't much important tonight. So he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then we won't get drunk tonight." ”
We were happily chatting about the big and small things in the country, when a fat black policeman came over. He said to the captain very unceremoniously: "Did you call the police and say that you met pirates?"
The captain nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, Mr. Policeman, these pirates are all on board, and I will let the crew escort them down now." ”
"Whether it's a pirate or not, we need to interrogate, it's not up to you. ”
Hearing this, the captain and the first mate were stunned and a little at a loss.
"They have weapons, they have confessions, and there's video footage here, isn't that evidence?"
Hearing me speak, the fat policeman didn't dare to be polite to me, that black Mercedes is not something ordinary people can afford.
"This gentleman, whatever evidence they have, they need us to interrogate, and besides, why is there a weapon on this cargo ship? ”
I sneered and looked at the dozen or so pirates who had stepped down from the ship and said, "If it were me, these people would have shot me one by one and thrown them into the sea to feed the sharks." ”
The policeman didn't dare to say anything, turned his head to look at the pirate who came by, and pretended not to hear. However, a few young people driving off-road vehicles were not happy, and said to me unceremoniously: "Friend, this is Kismayo, not your Huaxia Kingdom." ”
These young people are all in their twenties, their complexions are not dark, they obviously have white and black blood, and they should be the rich second generation of Kismayo.
"Whatever it is, I said, if it were me, none of these people would survive, and they would all be thrown into the sea by me to feed the sharks. Those weapons, I commissioned this cargo ship to transport them, is there a problem?"
My piercing gaze swept over the young men's faces, and they suddenly looked a little uncomfortable. Obviously, I know that driving a luxury car and throwing arms and weapons upside down is not a character to be messed with.
"Brother, don't say it, we are not familiar with the place, and we will suffer from them. The captain stood beside me and whispered to me in Chinese.
"You can't afford to lose, don't worry. I tilted my head and said to the captain, "You will have to make this trip in the future, and if I don't give them some means, they will still worry about you in the future." ”
The pirates were taken down from the ship by the crew in despair, and the pirate leader's eyes lit up unconsciously when he saw the young man.
"I didn't expect you to come in person. The pirate leader didn't look at the policeman beside him at all, but went straight to the young man and bowed deeply.
"Well, my father said let me do it myself. The young man stood still and accepted the pirate leader's bow, patted him on the shoulder, and said like a superior encouraging his subordinates: "Be careful in the future." After saying that, he looked at me defiantly.
When I saw that the police were asking the captain to sign the interrogation record, I grabbed the record paper in the policeman's hand, tore it up and threw it on the ground, pointed at the policeman's nose and scolded: "You grew up eating?
This very presumptuous action made the police a little unable to get off the stage, and they explained to me in anger: "It's not that I won't arrest him, but I want to take it back to the police station for further interrogation." ”
"Think I can't read the English written on it?" I said, pointing to the torn paper on the ground, "What is written on it? Do you think I can't read English?"
Seeing that he couldn't get over, the police quietly glanced at a few rich second generations around him.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, don't make trouble for yourself. You know, the Mona family has a lot more power in this city than you think. ”
"Yes sir, please do not hinder us in the conduct of our official duties. The rich second generation spoke, and the policeman's attitude became resolute and arrogant. If it weren't for the Mercedes Benz, I'm afraid I would have been interrogated by this time.
"What is the Mona family?" I took out a cigarette from my pocket and gave it to the captain and the angry first mate, lit the cigarette and took a thick puff at the rich second generation.
"Haven't heard of it. ”
The rich second generation was obviously shocked by my arrogance, he probably felt that he had lost his eyes, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "It turned out to be an idiot." ”
The attitude of the police also began to become extremely unfriendly, asking me to show my ID and trying to pull out a gun. When the captain and first mate saw this, they immediately spoke softly and apologized, and isolated me from the police.
I saw that the sniper's scope was already aimed at the policeman, and I quickly shook my head at the height. At this time, Gary walked back with his lieutenant in a hurry, just in time to see several groups of people in a mess.
"What's going on?" said Gary in civilian clothes, with his hands behind his back, to the side of the police. The policeman turned and glanced at Gehry, but he felt familiar but couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Get out of here!" a young rich second generation shouted at Gehry, the phrase I had just said that they had never heard of the Mona family gave them great courage. After all, the Mona family is one of the most famous families in the entire Kismayo, and if you haven't heard of this family, you are not a person from Kismayo's high society at all.
Gary obviously didn't expect anyone to greet him like this, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't know what had just happened, but after taking a closer look at the chaotic scene, he suddenly understood what was going on.
"Mr. Policeman, why are these pirates standing there now untied after they rob the freighter?" shouldn't they be handcuffed and escorted back to the police station for interrogation?" said Gary to the fat policeman with a serious face.
The fat policeman looked carefully at Gary in civilian clothes, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this very familiar looking person. The more such people are, the more sleek the policemen dare not offend easily. I had to ask patiently again, "May I ask your name, sir." ”
"I'm just an ordinary citizen. ”
At this time, the young rich second generation who scolded Gary just now came over and pushed Gary hard, how could this kind of powerless rich second generation push the commander of the legion who is training at high intensity every day. The result of not pushing it was that the rich second generation became angry and took out a switchblade from his pocket.
Gehry's guards were scattered around in the distance, and there was no call from the adjutant walkie-talkie, so they had no idea what was going on here, but the snipers hidden in the high ground knew exactly what was going on below. Seeing a sniper point his gun on this hapless rich second generation, I couldn't help but sneer, tugging at the captain's and first mate's clothes and taking a few steps back. When the gunfire is blown, he will be covered in blood, which is not only difficult to wash but also unlucky.
"Brother, please persuade your friend. Although you are engaged in a big arms business, but the heroes do not suffer immediate losses, these young people are not light or heavy, and it is not cost-effective to suffer losses!" He whispered to me as he stepped back after me.
Just when the rich second generation raised his dagger and was about to scare Gari, a loud bang hit the rich second generation directly in the head. The fragile head was like a watermelon shattered by a sledgehammer, shattered in an instant.
