Chapter 356: To the Pirate's Lair
readx;
Somalia is a war-torn country, where local gangs, terrorists, and warlords fight almost every day, although the scale is generally small, but the frequency is very high. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoFirearms and ammunition can be bought in Somali wet markets, but the quality is not guaranteed.
"Mr. Ji, hello, my name is Nigget." After getting off the plane, a local black man who had been waiting for a long time walked over, wearing a plaid shirt and trousers and leather shoes. Nigter, who is in his thirties, is the liaison of the local government forces, and Moy specially asked him to receive Ji Yang.
Negett spoke in English, and without waiting for Ji Yang to reply, he said again: "It's dangerous here, please get in the car first, and we'll talk about it when we go back." ”
Ji Yang responded in English: "OK." ”
After getting into the car, Nigatt said again: "Bossaso is in a turbulent period, there are illegal forces everywhere, and if you want to do business here, you must first find the asylum of the government forces. By the way, do you understand English? ”
"You see, I'm not here to do business." Ji Yang replied in English.
"Miss Mo told me that you are here to do business." Nigt had a feeling of being deceived.
"That's just an excuse, my main purpose here is to go to Eyl." Ji Yang said.
"What, that's pirate territory!" Niggett was taken aback.
He looked at Ji Yang from the rearview mirror, if it weren't for Moy's instructions, and Ji Yang looked like that, how could he say it, he didn't look like a bad guy anyway. Niggt had the urge to stop and drive Ji Yang down, but he held back, he needed an explanation.
Ji Yang smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry so much, send me to Eile, and I'll give you 10,000 US dollars." ”
Negt was very moved and asked, "Is it okay to just send it to Elle?" ”
Ji Yang nodded and said, "Yes, it's best to give me another pirate distribution map, and I can add another 10,000 US dollars." ”
"Okay, I can promise you." Nigett was quickly defeated by money, he had worked in Somalia for many years, received many foreigners, and had never seen Ji Yang so generous.
He first took Ji Yang to the government army garrison in Bossaso, which was different from the fortresses that Ji Yang imagined, the buildings of the Somali government army garrison looked similar to ordinary residential areas, except that there were some armed guards.
Even the buildings inside are even more shabby than the common residential buildings in China, and some of them have been damaged by bombing.
According to Niggt's explanation, in fact, the Somali pirate equipment is more advanced than the government army, otherwise it would not be so chaotic here. Government forces have limited combat effectiveness and are unable to exercise effective control over the ground.
Even so, Gurnitt suggested that Ji Yang go to Eyler with the government forces, which is better than nothing.
Of course Ji Yang was not afraid, he knew that it was Gurnet himself who needed protection, so he agreed.
Government forces sent five men to protect them, including three AK47s, and two Uzi assault rifles. The five of them were very tall, but their uniforms did not fit well, and even two soldiers were wearing sandals, so the military appearance can be imagined.
"Let's go, we'll get you to Eller safely." With the armed protection, Gurnett's face was much more relaxed.
Although these five people are not elite soldiers, ordinary illegal martial artists do not dare to provoke when they see it. If there is no armed protection, Ji Yang will soon be robbed if he walks out in a fashionable outfit.
Being robbed here is basically a dead end.
This time, Ji Yang sat in the passenger seat, two soldiers sat in the back, and three soldiers followed in a jeep.
"Here's Eller's map, you can take a closer look." Before driving, Niggt took a handheld computer and gave it to Ji Yang, and the map had been opened on it, which could be zoomed out and enlarged.
"Where is the pirate base?" Ji Yang enlarged Eeller's map.
"It seems that you don't know Eller yet, it can be said that it is a pirate lair, no matter where." Gurnitt smiled and said, he was not even familiar with the general situation of Eeller, and he doubted whether Ji Yang was sent to death.
Ji Yang was stunned for a moment, then silently closed the handheld computer and put it back in front of Gurnett.
It took more than ten hours from Bossaso to Eeller, Ji Yang closed his eyes and rested, and Nigt narrated the local situation on the side.
On the way, they passed through many checkpoints set up by government forces, and because of the protection of government forces, they all passed smoothly. Because Ji Yang didn't speak all the way, Nigt and the soldiers were also very silent, and they smoked when they couldn't hold back.
After nightfall, the car did not stop, and when hungry, he would eat casually in the car.
"Would you like some cookies?" Nigt did not forget Ji Yang, in his opinion, Ji Yang was too quiet, not at all like those Chinese who came to Somalia for the first time, neither curious nor afraid, and kept their eyes closed to rest.
"No, you don't." Ji Yang can skip meals for a month, and it's okay to eat less.
"Aren't you hungry, will someone pick you up when you get to the small town of Elle?" Niggett eats biscuits with one hand and drives with the other.
"Nope." Ji Yang replied.
"Brother, I don't want to bother you, but do you really want to go to Elle alone?" Nigett was observing Ji Yang all the way, but Ji Yang was quiet all the way, and he didn't observe anything.
Niggt is almost forty years old, and from his point of view, Ji Yang is still a child. He looked too young, his face showed no signs of age, and his body was clean and clean, and he didn't fit in with this barren and chaotic land.
Ji Yang paused for a while before he said, "Of course I have a reason to go there, if you can, I hope you can wait for me in Garowe for two days, and then I will take the car back to Bossaso." ”
Nigt was a little confused, and said: "I can wait for you in Garoway, the question is that you went to Eyler, can you come back?" ”
Garoway is a city next to Eyler, dozens of kilometers away, and it is not very dangerous to stay for a short time. Because Ji Yang is the person Moi takes care of, and Nigt is willing to take the risk of waiting for him for two days, he just doubts that Ji Yang can come out after two days of going to Eyler.
In fact, even the government army did not dare to approach Eller at will, and he had already risked his life by sending Ji Yang in. But the thought of making $200,000 on a trip made Negett feel that it was worth it.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be back in two days." Ji Yang smiled.
"Well, I believe you." Nigt didn't know where he got his confidence, could it be that he had something to do with pirates?
Late at night, Ji Yang opened his eyes and took a look at the outside environment, where it was deserted. Food and water are desperately scarce, and the Somali population is barely alive on international aid.
Anyone who lives in a peaceful, wealthy country will come here with emotion, and it is hard to imagine that there is such a barren country in modern times. Somali civilians are dressed in a very monotonous way, and they come and go with those few styles of clothes and pants, which are not very good-looking.
It is estimated that such a country will not be much better even if it does not fight. (To be continued.) )
