On February 14, Valentine's Day, the Foreign Affairs Office of the Third OECD announced that the Third Anti-Terrorism Command, an armed organization directly under the Third OECD, would be further expanded from the current 1,000 to 3,000 at the suggestion of Libya, a member of the Third OECD, and with the approval of the Council, and the headquarters would also be moved to Benghazi, an important port city in eastern Libya.

When the Third Rapid Reaction Force was first established, it caused a sensation in the international community. This is the first multinational force in the world to be formed in a non-war situation, and it is not a maintenance force of an international organization such as the United Nations.

When the Third Rapid Reaction Force was stationed in Libya, many opposition parties in Libya jumped out to accuse the Libyan political axe (Gaddafi) of betraying sovereignty, because everyone knew that this rapid reaction force might be true to fight terrorists, but it was also true that it was used to deal with the armed forces secretly controlled by the opposition in Libya.

In this case, of course, no one wants to have such an armed force around that poses a sufficient threat. When the Libyan opposition was clamoring, some Western countries also jumped out to point fingers on the matter, but later the Third OECD and the Libyan political axe did not make too many statements on this matter, which was tantamount to directly ignoring the voices of some people, and the turmoil slowly subsided.

However, in Libya, many people are stepping up cooperation and action, and the Libyan political axe has once again raised the matter to the Third OECD Council, hoping to expand the size and strength of the Third Rapid Reaction Force. Originally, everyone still had opinions on expanding the rapid reaction force, but this air crash made Li Mo determined to step up his deployment and prepare for a counterattack against the Western world, and other countries also approved this plan after receiving Li Mo's guarantee to provide 1,000 soldiers.

In accordance with the Council's resolution, the rapid response force will consist of three regiments and an anti-terrorist brigade and will be equipped with regularized equipment, rather than as in the past, where whoever sends the troops brings their own weapons.

Three regiments, one mechanized infantry regiment, one mountain regiment, one paratrooper regiment. The cost of refitting the weapons equipped is shared among the member States.

In the process of this expansion, priority was given to the purchase of arms from member States. And Xingchen Group, as the only arms company in Somalia, has naturally become the arms supplier of this rapid reaction force. In addition to the Star Rifle and the Lion King Infantry Fighting Vehicle, Li Molian took out the 'Sparrow' helicopter gunship that he had just researched and was ready to take to the Abu Dhabi Defense Exhibition, which surprised several other member states.

When did Somalia even get helicopter gunships? And there is not a trace of news from the outside world yet?

After receiving the technical information of the 'Sparrow' helicopter, several member countries began to feel incredulous and suspicious, so several countries sent representatives to the Somali Star Group for inspection. Because once this helicopter is the same as the data on paper, then it will also be beneficial to the military improvement of these countries themselves.

Li Mo didn't expect that it was originally to strengthen the security of Gaddafi's rule in Libya and reduce the opportunities for Western snooping, but in the end, he found several customers for Xingchen Group in advance.

…… Mogadishu Ministry of Defence, inside the office of Li Mo.

The Minister of Intelligence and the Commander of the Navy, Brigadier General Gedi, were here.

"Boss, we've got a target in mind. You see...... That's the picture and the stuff we're targeting. Wang Ning took a stack of photos and documents and handed them to Li Mo, and said with a solemn face.

On the office desktop, spread out the photos, basically a pattern, a huge cargo ship, shooting different scenes and angles, but the number of this cargo ship is the same.

"Is the lone wolf ready?" Li Mo first looked at the photo for a while, then picked up the document and looked at it and asked.

"Ready, we left a few people behind in the last multinational 'Light of Peace' exercise, and this time it just worked, and the 'lone wolf' side is also ready." Wang Ning nodded and replied.

Li Mo finally showed a smile on his face, looked at the two of them, and nodded, "Then that's it, you have to ensure that this matter is hidden." ”

"Yes!"

…… In the western part of the Gulf of Aden, near the mouth of the Red Sea, a container ship with a displacement of 50,000 tons is slowly moving eastward, the cargo ship named "Jewel", and the destination is Kuwait Port. Cargo ships are loaded with a large number of daily necessities and machinery.

The "Jewel" freighter belongs to the "Poseidon" cargo company, an international shipping company in the United States that can be auctioned into the top five, and the boss of the Poseidon shipping company is said to have a deep relationship with the American political axe and the military high-level, which means that the boss of this company has a deep background.

The captain of the 'Jewel' is called Jack? Root, known as 'Captain Jack', has the same name as the famous Pirates of the Caribbean movie 'Captain Jack' of the Black Pearl.

He didn't have the slightest disgust at his colleagues and subordinates who often used this surname to joke with Captain Jack. Captain Jack, who is 50 years old and used to be a retired major of the U.S. Navy, also likes the pirate king in the movie.

The sky was cloudless and it was a good day, and Captain Jack walked out of the captain's cabin and went out on the deck, watching the seabirds flying in the sky and the other ships he occasionally encountered on the route, Captain Jack's mood suddenly relaxed. Every time, just looking at the sea, his mood is relaxed. He is a man who naturally loves the sea.

"Guys, we're going to reach the port of Aden in two days, and I'll give you a day off to go ashore and relax, but now you're all cheering me up. It is said that the Gulf of Aden has not been very quiet these days......" Captain Jack said to the crew as he returned to the cockpit and said to the crew with his pipe in his mouth, but the last sentence was so low that no one else except himself could hear it clearly.

Captain Jack was born in the navy, and he is a veteran captain of Poseidon Corporation, so he usually cares more about current affairs, because it is also a way for them to pass the time on the sea. Five days ago, a Huaxia passenger plane was shot down by the US Navy in the Indian Ocean, causing an international uproar, and Jack also received an order from the company's headquarters to be careful in the Gulf of Aden and the waters of the Arabian Sea, especially when there is no US ship to protect him.

Although Captain Jack did not scoff at the company's order, he still did not believe that an American-flagged cargo ship would encounter an accident on the Earth's ocean. But after decades of running on the ocean, Jack still developed good habits and caution. Because anything can happen on the sea, and often you can't land on the ground, so it's always not wrong to be careful.

Entering the Gulf of Aden, there are many more ships, not only freighters from all over the world, but also the naval warships of a certain country. Somali pirates, who are so legendally rampant, are rarely heard of until now.

The Jewel sailed peacefully until noon the next day, in the middle of the Gulf of Aden, on a northerly course. Because they were going to the port of Aden, Yemen, to replenish water and vegetables, and then go directly to the port of Kuwait.

"Captain, there's a situation!" Just when Jack Ben was a little hanging, and even considered whether he should go to find a girl to satisfy himself after going ashore, a nervous voice of a crew member came from the ship's internal communicator.

Jack grabbed a pair and rushed out of the captain's cabin to the cockpit, only to see through the binoculars of a crew member that two Somali-flagged missile boats were heading towards the freighter at high speed six kilometers to the right of the Jewel.

"Just now the two Somali missile boats sent a clear telegram, tell us to stop for inspection." The first mate reported to Captain Jack with a somewhat uneasy face.

Inspect a U.S. cargo ship? This is the first time in the Gulf of Aden. The first mate had never encountered such a thing, so he was nervous.

"Tell them that we are on the high seas and that the Somali Navy has no right to inspect us." Captain Jack commanded without replying with a telescope.

The first mate replied and asked, "Do we want to report to the headquarters and ask for support from the U.S. Navy?" ”

He believes that the United States is strong, and Somalia does not dare to do anything, but at this time, they are facing the Somali Navy, and just a few days ago, something unpleasant happened between the two countries, who knows if these Somalis will come strongly?

"No!" Captain Jack waved his hand, but then he added, "Wait, let's report the situation here to HQ, we might be in trouble." ”

If it weren't for the incident that happened a few days ago, Captain Jack would have believed that the Somalis would not dare to mess around, not even to intercept the American freighter, but today the Somali Navy actually appeared and asked them to stop the ship for inspection, so Jack didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Be careful, be cautious.

Commander of the 2nd Patrol of the Somali Navy, Ahmed? Kadav stood on top of the 022 stealth missile boat numbered 023, calmly listening to the sailors' answer from the freighter 'Jewel'.

"Finally, warn them that we suspect that the Jewel is loaded with contraband, and tell them to stop immediately for our inspection, otherwise we will use all means to stop it. Give them three minutes to prepare, or fire warning. ”

At this moment, the two missile boats had already clamped the 'Jewel' freighter one after the other, and the high-powered horn on the missile boat in front of it began to shout at the crew of the freighter, repeating the words of Commander Kadav three times.

"Captain Jack, what are we going to do?" The first mate's face was a little flustered, these Somalis didn't buy it at all, they had to check, if they really accepted the inspection, not to mention shame, and there was really something. Because on the ship, there are always some unclean things, which is an unspoken rule for ocean-going freighters, and it is normal to carry private goods and the like.

"Is there an order from headquarters? You take people outside to stall for time and don't let them board the boat. Captain Jack frowned and commanded in a deep voice. He still has the arrogance of the US Navy in his bones, how can he let the Somalis board the ship to inspect it? This used to be something that the U.S. Navy used to do.
