Chapter 49 The Seaport of Aden

The formation continued south along the South China Sea, and when it approached Malaysian waters, the Malaysian military sent two warships to monitor it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, the warships of the Royal Malaysian Navy are naturally not as powerful as the Chinese Navy, and the largest warship is the "Legier" class frigate, whose full load displacement is only about 2,400 tons, which is not as good as the smallest tonnage ship in the escort formation.

At least the full load displacement of a Type 054A missile frigate like the Yuncheng has reached more than 3,600 tons.

After the two sides shouted and knew each other's intentions, the Malaysian navy kept a safe distance from our ships, neither far nor close.

When it was almost close to the Strait of Malacca, the Indonesian Navy appeared, and the navies of the three countries, seven warships slowly sailed through the strait.

The heavily armed special operators stood motionless on the warship, and they stood on either side of the warship as if they were standing guards, which was actually quite a way to show goodwill and respect.

You know, the servicemen of a warship that has entered a combat state will not stand on it.

"How long has this warship been tailing, it's been standing for so long. It feels so tired. Xiong Wei, who was standing next to Yuan Mian, complained.

"Less nonsense. Stand up. This is the face of our country, don't complain!" Yuan Mian was rarely so serious.

"Yes, team leader. Xiong Wei straightened his body and straightened his waist.

The seven warships moved silently, each keeping a safe distance, until the escort formation left the Strait of Malacca.

"Actually, it's normal for this to happen. Colonel Cheng Dewei, the captain of the Yuncheng, walked up to Yuan Mian and Xiong Wei and said.

"Hello chief. Yuan Mian and Xiong Wei turned around and said a word at the same time, and at the same time did not salute a military salute.

"After all, we are now at someone's doorstep, and if the navies of these two countries have not yet been dispatched, it will be a dereliction of duty. The smile on Cheng Dewei's face has not diminished, and he is still so confident.

"Taught. Yuan Mian replied.

Cheng Dewei gently put his hand on the railing and said: "When you sail more, you will understand that the circles in this are winding, but in fact, they are not so complicated." ”

"Yes, Chief. Yuan Mian didn't know how to answer Captain Cheng's words for a while, so he could only answer this sentence gently.

A week later, the Gulf of Aden.

For the Gulf of Aden, it actually refers to this part of the Indian Ocean in the Arabian Sea between Yemen and Somalia, named after the port city of Aden in Yemen.

Since the 90s, the piracy force in Somalia has grown day by day, from more than 100 people to more than 1,000 people.

Imagine that Somalia is a troubled country that has been mired in anarchy since the fall of the Siad regime in 1991, where war and poverty have always been rampant.

Here, the per capita income of the people is no more than forty dollars a month, and the poor people are in a state of hunger for a long time, and there is no way, no money to buy food. But as long as you succeed in doing pirates, you can extort millions, or even tens of millions of dollars, ransom, so many people here are still willing to take risks, after all, they have weapons!

Marx once said: As soon as there is a proper profit, capital is emboldened. If there is 10 per cent of the profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere, if there is 20 per cent of the profit, it will be active, if there is 50 per cent of the profit, it will take risks, for the sake of 100 per cent of the profit, it will dare to trample on all human laws, and if there is 300 per cent of the profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even to the risk of hanging its head. If unrest and strife are profitable, it encourages them and strife.

And this theory is also suitable for the place of Somalia, after all, the cost of a small amount of ammunition is almost negligible compared to millions and tens of millions of dollars. The profit in exchange is extremely huge, and this is the root cause.

When they learned that they had arrived in the Gulf of Aden, Yuan Mian and the others were a little excited, after all, this was the first time they had faced such a big scene.

As for the one in Yunnan, it happened completely unprepared, and it was a sneak attack, and the odds of victory were very high, and this sea battle was still a one-time battle.

Not long after arriving here, the formation entered the port of Aden for rest.

For Yemen, a country that relies on imports for half of the country, the port is undoubtedly the busiest, whether it is the trucks carrying containers or the coolies carrying goods, all show the prosperity of the port of Aden.

The Changbaishan dock landing ship, the Yuncheng missile frigate, and the Chaohu comprehensive supply ship docked at the wharf one after another, and the long boarding ladder extended from the warship to the ground.

Stepping on this foreign land, Yuan Mian, like other special combat soldiers, did not dare to relax at all, standing next to the supplies ready to be transported to the warship, the bullets had already been loaded, as long as someone dared to rob them, the gunshots would definitely ring.

Looking at all the suspicious people in the port, the 27 members of the "Sharp Sword" team did not dare to relax for a moment, and although there were Yemeni government troops nearby, they did not dare to guarantee how effective these government troops were, and whether they were in collusion with the bandits.

After all, this is in the Middle East, not China!

The scorching sun made the concrete floor hot, and even sent out bursts of heat, whether it was the special combat team members who were stationed on the sentry or the sailors who were carrying the goods, they were already sweating profusely, but no one shouted that they were tired.

"Group A, attention, Group A, you have a group of militants at one o'clock, you need to pay extra attention. Ji Xiaoping's voice sounded in the headphones of the entire "Sharp Sword" special operations team.

Soon, the members of Group A noticed at one o'clock a couple of strong men in sandy yellow camouflage uniforms with guns in their hands, looking at the camouflage uniforms they were wearing, which were obviously not Yemeni government army attire, but they could not be Houthi.

Nonsense, if it were really the Houthis, they would have been driven out by the government army a long time ago, after all, they are incompatible with each other.

The leader is a yellow man, I saw that he was very strong, probably more than 1.86 meters, plus the pair of desert combat boots, the whole person was close to 1.90 meters tall.

He was smoking a cigarette, and the sandy yellow cap on his head was pressed low, and no one knew exactly where the focus of his gaze was.

"The target is six people, armed with M4A1 carbines, three in the direction of one o'clock and three in the direction of twelve o'clock. These people are most likely battle-hardened mercenaries, so everyone must be careful!" Yuan Mian said to the soldiers around him, but his eyes never left those people.
