Chapter 212: You Choose

Tribo fired a third shot, and tracer bullets landed next to the speedboat, but the speedboat showed no signs of slowing down, and without waiting for Gao Yang to speak, Grolev immediately fired a shuttle of bullets.

Because it is mainly based on warnings, Grolev's machine gun bullet chain is a combination of three ordinary bullets and one tracer bullet, such a bullet is a striking barrage, and when the barrage falls on the bow of the speedboat, causing a series of splashes, the speedboat finally begins to slow down, and the speed is getting slower and slower, but after the speedboat in the middle slows down, the other two speedboats have no intention of slowing down.

The other two speedboats were already very close to the tanker, that is, three or four hundred meters away, when Cui Bo said loudly: "Are you hitting the boat?" ”

Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, but still said in a deep voice: "Which ship owner doesn't want to grudge with pirates, people will often run this route in the future, we can't make trouble for others, let's not fight the ship first, toad, Fry, you two go to the gangway to guard first, if the pirates want to get on the ship, shoot them down, as long as they don't get on the boat, don't be in a hurry to shoot." ”

After coming to the Gulf of Aden, every captain Gao Yang came into contact with had mentioned to Gao Yang, that is, if there is no need, try not to grudge with pirates, they often run this route, if it really caused casualties to pirates, and formed a mortal enmity with pirates, it is not good news for them.

At present, there are dozens of warships of all sizes escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden, but although there are many warships, they still seem to be too few when they are sprinkled into the sea, and it is not realistic to rely on warships alone to escort the convoy, even if there are many warships escorting in the Gulf of Aden. However, hijacked merchant ships are still not uncommon.

If those merchant ships want to be escorted by warships. You can only apply first. And wait for a large fleet to be formed, before you can sail with the warship, but although it is safe to do so, it wastes a lot of time, and it is not necessarily possible to wait for the escort of the warship every time, after all, the warship of any country is first to ensure the safety of its own country's merchant ships, like Panamanian merchant ships can only rely on luck to get the escort of warships, so they would rather spend money on armed escorts.

But even if there are armed guards. But if you have a mortal enmity with pirates, and you are remembered by pirates from then on, and you will come to harass you if you have nothing to do, this is unacceptable to the captain of any merchant ship.

The main reason why merchant ships are still worried about having armed escorts, for fear of being remembered by pirates, is actually due to the armed escorts.

The market share of the private armed escort business is more than half of the British security companies, and this is the result of the participation of some security companies in the United States and the Middle East in the past two years, before which British security companies accounted for more than 80 percent of the private armed escort business.

There are fewer people and more boats. A seller's market for privately armed escorts was created, and the British gathered together a number of shipowners. Let the shipowners bid, whoever gives the highest price will escort whom, but even if they collect money, these British people have no work ethic, if the pirates really want to storm the ship at any cost, and they do have the upper hand, these British security guards will definitely choose to surrender.

In fact, it can't be said that those British people have no professional ethics, because when people reach an agreement with the shipowner, they will mention that the first thing they have to ensure is the safety of the security guards, not the safety of the merchant ship, so when those British security guards feel that their lives are threatened and they cannot continue to fight, they can choose to surrender, and this is clearly written in the contract, so even if those British choose to surrender, it cannot be said that they have violated the contract.

The pirates under the ship are eyeing each other, and the armed security guards who have collected the money on board may surrender at any time, who can rest assured that such an armed escort?

Although in most cases, if the pirates find that there are armed guards on the ship, they will take the initiative to leave, but there is still no merchant ship that dares to form a mortal enmity with the pirates, the reason is very simple, in case the next time they cross the Gulf of Aden, those pirates really want to die, but those armed security guards refuse to accompany the pirates to the end, and they are not the unlucky.

Now a five-person combat team escorting ships has a commission of 5,000 US dollars a day, but Gao Yang's six of them have a commission of 15,000 US dollars a day, and this is still the money received after half of the security company that Gao Yang and they work with.

Weishenme has the same task, but the pay is several times different, this reason is very simple, that is, because they take on the kind of work that absolutely guarantees the safety of merchant ships, and the British security company can give up the escort mission at any time when it thinks it is necessary, and Gao Yang They can't let pirates get on board as long as they are not dead, which is why they make more money.

Now the problem is that Gao Yang and they have to protect this ship, and the captain knows this, but the problem is that this ship may not be able to be protected by Gao Yang next time, and there are still too few escort teams for merchant ships like Gao Yang, the main thing is the British kind of security team that takes money and is ready to surrender, and the pirates hello me hello everyone haode security team, as long as the captain of the merchant ship can't ensure that he can get the armed escort who Gao Yang and them can protect to the end every time, he will never have a mortal enmity with the pirates.

Gao Yang had to think about the client, and he couldn't attack those pirates casually, but if the pirates really started to board the ship, there would be nothing polite to do, just fight to the death.

After Li Jinfang and Frye held the position of the main gangway, the two speedboats that did not stop turned left and right, and began to move towards the bow and stern of the tanker, the speed of the huge tanker was very slow, and the pirate speedboat could completely ignore the speed of the tanker.

At this time, Gao Yang and the others could clearly see the people on the speedboat, they were waving AK rifles in their hands, and some people were holding machetes in their hands, shouting at Gao Yang and their dancing hands.

If the speedboat went around to the other side of the tanker, Gao Yang and the others divided their men to take care of the other side, and seeing that these pirates ignored the warning and fired, and kept demonstrating towards them, Gao Yang couldn't help but get angry and shouted: "Don't let them go around, make a few holes in their ship." ”

Cui Bo immediately fired a shot at the stern of the boat, and the tracer bullet hit the gang in the middle of the boat, and after making a hole in the boat, the bullet with almost no attenuation of power penetrated the bottom of the boat, but after a short wait, the pirates who noticed that the ship was beginning to enter the water immediately began to panic.

The reason why the stern speedboat was hit first was because the tanker had a gangway on the other side of the stern, although it was only a spare, it was only three meters away from the water, and the pirate's speedboat had a ladder, as long as you took the ladder, you could board the tanker, even if you were not afraid of pirates boarding the ship, but Gao Yang still wanted to save some trouble and directly scare those pirates away.

After a hole was punched in the bottom of the ship, the speedboat that went around the stern immediately turned and sailed away from the tanker, and at this time, Grolev's machine gun also rang out, and went around the speedboat in the direction of the bow of the tanker.

The shots of Trib and Grolev finally caused the speedboats on both sides to turn and no longer try to go around to the other side of the tanker, but the pirates did not leave there, and the speedboat in the middle began to approach the tanker again, but at a very slow speed, and one of the speedboats kept waving a stick.

Gao Yang said strangely, "What are these pirates going to do?" Do you want to negotiate with us? ”

Gao Yang also picked up the binoculars and looked at the speedboat in the middle, and then he was surprised to find that the person standing at the bow of the boat seemed to be shouting, waving a white flag in one hand and a stick in the other, but the top of the stick was a skull, seeing the skull waved by the person, Gao Yang did not feel afraid, but just felt a little funny.

"What are these idiots doing? It's getting more and more interesting, it seems that our opponents belong to the non-mainstream of pirates, haha, could it be that they plan to use witchcraft to hijack ships? Or are you going to come and surrender? ”

As he spoke, Gao Yang fired a shot, and the bullet hit the boat, but the speedboat did not mean to stop, and still leaned firmly towards them.

Gao Yang thought about it, or let the speedboat get close to the tanker, just to guard against the speedboat seven or eight pirates will suddenly shoot, and when the speedboat was only twenty or thirty meters away from the tanker, the speedboat turned the bow and went parallel to the tanker, and then the black man with a skull stick in his hand lowered the white flag, picked up a megaphone and roared.

"We're from the Skeletons, we can spare your boat, but you'll have to come up with a hundred thousand dollars, or we'll start attacking! Give you five minutes, you'd better think it through. ”

Although the English spoken by the speaker's mouth was very strange, but fortunately he could understand it, and Gao Yang was about to tell the pirate to get out of here, when he heard Bruce say in a deep voice, "The captain is here." ”

Gao Yang turned his head to take a look, but saw that the captain and a crew member were running towards them in a hurry, no wonder I couldn't hear the liaison officer's anxious voice on the walkie-talkie during this time, it turned out that the captain himself ran over.

In fact, after confirming that they had encountered pirates, the captain began to run to the deck where Gao Yang and them, but the tanker was too big, and when the pirates arrived at the side of the ship, the captain just arrived at Gao Yang's side, and he happened to hear the pirate's shouts clearly.

"Ram, are you going to do this? You can promise not to let pirates on board, right? ”

The captain of the tanker was an Iranian, already in his fifties, with a big belly, and the expression on his face was quite calm, but some trembling voices still betrayed his emotions, Gao Yang looked at the nervous captain, smiled, and said loudly: "What we do is actually up to you, sink their ships and kill them, or scare them away, you choose."
