Chapter 266: The World Shakes (Second Update)
The hijacking of the Royal Cruise Line's "Ida" by pirates shocked the world.
There are no impermeable walls in this world.
The news that Roberts Rupert, a notorious internationally wanted criminal, was known as a "crazy predator" and demanded a huge ransom of $1.3 billion from the Royal Cruise Line Group with the lives of more than 4,300 passengers and sailors on the Aida.
And then it was covered by reporters all over the world.
Everyone was concerned about the AIDA, especially the families of the passengers and crew of the AIDA, and at this time they were even more crazy to call the diplomatic department, and those who were able to go directly to the Royal Cruise Line and ask them to ensure the safety of the hostages.
Anne is famous again.
Because a reporter revealed that Anne is now on this luxury cruise ship, and she is the guest singer tonight.
This time, the Internet has completely fried the pot.
Not only the Chinese network, but also the French network has also exploded.
You must know that in the previous month, Anne's reputation in France was no weaker than in China!
The British side made an urgent call to the diplomatic departments of the United States and China, and the navies of the three countries held an urgent telephone conference to discuss how to rescue the hostages.
The TV station was the fastest, and a large number of relevant experts were invited to discuss how Royal Cruise Lines and British officials would respond to this emergency.
For a time, at least hundreds of millions of people's hearts were mobilized.
Many people have been praying for the hostages of the Aida online, denouncing the pirates, and some have even launched a campaign to donate money for the hostages of the Ida......
However, this activity was later discovered that there were scammers taking the opportunity to make money.
Just when the whole world was in turmoil, when the navies of Britain, the United States, and China had not yet discussed how to rescue the hostages and eliminate this group of pirates......
The phone ringing again on the chairman's desk was from the captain's room of the AIDA.
At this time, the chairman's office of the Royal Cruise Line was already crowded.
There are members of the board of directors of the group, senior agents of MI5, the secretary to the prime minister at 5 Downing Street, and the queen's adviser at Buckingham Palace.
There are also special personnel from the foreign ministries of China and Germany, after all, on this cruise ship, these two countries have the largest number of citizens.
In the eyes of this bigwig, Schiller, the chairman of the Royal Cruise Lines, answered the phone tremblingly.
His heart was beating a drum.
Why did the pirate's call come back before the agreed time arrived?
Could it be that the pirates want to increase the price?!
Full of apprehension and doubt, Chairman Schiller answered the phone.
At the same time, MI5 agents, who had already deployed various high-tech means of interception and positioning, also wore headphones.
But after a few seconds, both Schiller and the agents of MI5 turned their faces extremely exciting!
The phone quickly hung up.
A group of bigwigs hurriedly asked.
Schiller looked confused, and only after a long time did he say: "The person on the phone said, let's not bother." Because they've got rid of all the pirates! ”
"What?!" Everyone couldn't believe such a ridiculous statement.
The navies of the three countries are still in session, MI5 and the CIA have not yet come up with a reliable countermeasure, and you told me that the pirates have been dealt with......
Are you so sure you're not kidding me?!
The agent who was listening to the phone on the side only reacted at this time, and said: "Yes, that's what it said on the phone, he said that they had already dealt with the pirates, and said that they didn't need to thank him, his name was called, what was his name?" ”
“lei feng!” The agent next to him said with an affirmative face, "It's this syllable, yes!" ”
“WHAT?!” The official of the Chinese Foreign Ministry on the side exclaimed in surprise.
Just as the big guys were scratching their ears and cheeks, tangling up what was going on on the Ida.
The phone rang again, and this time, it was a heavyweight - the captain of the Ida, Smit.
Although Smit was shocked, he was a captain after all, and he had the psychological qualities he should have, so he simply told what happened.
Under Smit's confirmation, these bigwigs finally put their minds at ease.
But as to who exactly solved the pirates, Smit did not know.
He was taken to the back, and had no idea what was going on in the hall, except that the ship's power suddenly went out, and then the sound of gunfire rang out in the hall, but soon the gunfire stopped.
The pirate who guarded him cautiously walked down the hall, but as soon as he left the door, he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
Then Smit saw a man dressed like a pirate in a waiter's suit come in and say to him in English, "You are Captain Smit, aren't you?" Now that the pirates are out, you go and deal with the aftermath! ”
Then Smit felt a lightness in his hands, and the handcuffs that were holding his hands broke in half.
He hurried out and found that there was a mess outside.
He greeted the sailors, pacified the passengers, activated the backup power, and then found ......
Those pirates are dead!
Most pirates are killed with sharp weapons, either through the heart or by slitting their throats, all of which are fatal with a single blow.
Only the pirate leader, Roberts Rupert, died the most miserable - his head was cut off entirely, but he still kept his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe he was dead!
Captain Smit asked the sailors to reassure the passengers and clean up the aftermath, and he hurriedly led people to the captain's quarters.
At this time, he found that a group of Chinese had occupied the captain's room, and the pirates and the second lieutenant inside, as well as his men, were dead and tied.
The second lieutenant has already admitted that he was secretly colluding with the pirates.
A few Chinese smiled and said hello to Smit, and then left, Smit hurriedly asked their names, and their answers ......
It's exactly the same as it was on the phone.
According to later statistics, a total of seven people died in this incident, except for the pirates - one was the host, six were the sailors on the ship, and all the other six sailors were killed outside the hall except for the host.
As for the tourists, no one was killed, but hundreds of people were injured - mostly stampedes, bumps and injuries caused by power outages.
Of course, dozens of people were shot by pirates, and three of them were the most seriously wounded, who were shot through their internal organs, but all of them were treated and should be safe in terms of life.
It is not known if there are any other pirates on board, and the sailors are checking the identities of the guests.
However, all known pirates were either killed or subdued, and control of the Ida was regained by Smitt and his sailors.
The only thing we don't know is which hero made a move in the middle of the hall to kill the pirates and save the whole ship.
Judging by the wounds of those pirates, Smit came to a startling conclusion......
These pirates all died at the hands of the same blade, which means that they most likely died at the hands of the same person!
The news came out and the world shook again!
