Volume 7 Chapter 839 Happiness and Revenge
readx;
Two "Sea Hawk" multi-role helicopters belonging to the US Navy's "David" guided missile destroyer carried "Penguin" anti-ship missiles and quickly flew to reinforce the "Jewel" freighter according to satellite positioning. Every once in a while, the pilots of the www.biquge.info aircraft contacted the frigate 'David' through internal communications to report what they had discovered.
Half an hour later, two helicopters arrived over the Jewel, but at this moment, the Jewel was flying not only the American flag, but also a Somali flag. What surprised the driver even more was that the American freighter had deviated from the main channel and headed south, seemingly heading for Somalia.
The helicopter pilot immediately reported the news and signaled to the two Somali Navy missile boats through the public channel, one of which even tried to land on a container on the Jewel, but was stopped by Somali soldiers firing warning shots.
After some negotiations, a United States Navy captain landed from a helicopter onto the USS Jewel and was taken by Somali soldiers to Colonel Kadaf, commander of the Second Patrol.
"Colonel, we formally protest to your actions, and you have no right to intercept and detain our freighters that are sailing normally on the high seas." After the US Navy captain saluted first, he protested with a serious face.
Kadav grinned, and said in the captain's anger, "Captain, your protest is invalid. Somalia has a duty to protect the shipping lanes of the Gulf of Aden, and the Jewel is not a 'normal' freighter, but an illegal vessel suspected of smuggling, transporting arms and providing intelligence on behalf of pirates. To show our sincerity, I can take you to see some evidence of the crime. ”
Later, Kaduff accompanied the captain to open the container full of munitions that he had checked before, and saw that a random box was pried open inside, which was a neat array of guns and bullets, and the captain's throat seemed to be blocked, and he could only stare at his anger and dissatisfaction.
"This is just the arms smuggled on the freighter, we have also found more dangerous chemicals that can be used to make lethal weapons. There is reason to suspect that the freighter was in the service of pirates and even terrorists who were trying to create a terrorist activity. In the interest of the security of Somalia and other countries, our political axe decided to seize the freighter. Captain, if you have any objections, you can contact us through normal diplomatic channels, but now I have to tell you that you can go back. ”
After Kadaf finished smiling, he motioned for two Somali soldiers to 'accompany' the US Navy captain off the deck, watching the Seahawk helicopter still hovering over the USS Jewel, the look of wanting to leave but not being able to, made Kadaf laugh.
When he was a pirate in the past, Kadaf had seen the invincible appearance of the US Navy many times, and he never imagined that one day he would detain the American freighter and the Americans in front of the American soldiers, while the other party could only watch and did not dare to act rashly.
The captain who boarded the ship quickly reported what he had seen to the frigate "David", and the frigate "David" reported the news to the command of the Fifth Fleet. Then it was reported to the Admiralty in layers...... Finally, they arrived at the White House in Washington, in front of the black uncle who had just become president.
"Oh, damn it. What do these people want to do? When the black president saw the information reported below, he couldn't help but curse. It is also unknown whether he is scolding the Jewel for smuggling arms or the Somali political axe for seizing the American freighter.
At this time, it was the turn of the black president to be embarrassed. The 'Jewel' incident is not just an ordinary trivial matter, it is related to the previous XX123 passenger plane crash. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is an act of revenge by the Somali political axe, but to the anger of the black president, the 'Jewel' freighter was caught red-handed.
If this matter happened alone, it would be an ordinary criminal case at most, as long as it was moved, the US political axe would extradite the cargo ship and the crew on it back to China for trial, but at this time, the Somali political axe was obviously for revenge, and it was impossible to agree to the extradition, and Somalia and the United States had not signed an extradition treaty. Once the Americans are tried by the Somali judiciary at this time, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face of the Americans.
In addition to smuggling arms, there is also collusion with pirates, smuggling and transporting raw materials for weapons with a surname of the surname of the people? Buttoned down a hat, those American sailors could even be sentenced to death under Somali law.
What does the US political axe need to do at this time, otherwise it will not be possible to explain to the people. Several Americans were sentenced to death in Somalia, oh, the American people would have torn him apart.
However, the question of how to solve this problem is a big problem. Military means? No, this will definitely not work, although the US political axe is confident that it can solve Somalia in a month, but what about after that? Is it like Iraq, where guerrilla warfare and counter-guerrilla warfare will be fought for a few more years? Moreover, Somalia is a nuclear-armed country, and once military operations expand or even get out of control, the consequences will be catastrophic.
The black president immediately convened a meeting of the Department of Defense, the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Secretary of State to discuss the matter.
Internationally, some swift media outlets have begun to report on the news. Some media outlets have even published some of the photos, in which readers can see a bulky cargo ship, sandwiched between two Somali missile boats, one in front and one behind, heading in one direction. And in one photo, you can even faintly see an American helicopter following behind.
When this news report came out, it was no less shocking than the air crash that occurred a few days ago, and the news was quickly reprinted and published in major international media.
"Buzzing ......" a series of six Seagull attack planes, with long anti-ship missiles hanging under their bellies, skimmed the sea at low altitudes, and 10 kilometers in front of the plane's right, was the US warship "David" frigate.
After showing off its might around the 'David' frigate, the attack aircraft group turned around and flew back towards the mainland.
This is already the third 'warning' of the Somalis today, and the captain of the frigate 'David' can almost foresee that if he makes a bad move, these 'antique' planes will definitely swarm in, just like torpedo planes in World War II, rushing down from all directions to launch missiles.
However, the order of the superiors was to keep the "David" and the "Jewel" freighters at a certain distance and wait for naval support.
This strange sight on the surface of the Gulf of Aden took place right in front of the eyes of many passing ships.
…… In Mogadishu, an easterly warrior stopped in front of an Arab castle by the sea, and two men stepped out of the car.
"Li Mo, the scenery here is really good." One of them, a man in civilian clothes in his thirties, got out of the car, looked around, and then said with a smile.
"Hehe, do you like me to give you one?" Li Mo said with a smile.
"Forget it." Ding Huiqiang shook his head and said, "I don't want to be approached by military discipline people. ”
From a distance, Li Mo saw the housekeeper Tina and Bai Jing standing at the door, so he said to Ding Huiqiang, "Let's go in." ”
This time, Ding Huiqiang came to visit Yang Xiaorou and Liu Wei on behalf of Huaxia Political Axe. In the XX123 accident, Liu Zhengdong was confirmed to be on the list of missing persons, although it is impossible to confirm whether he is dead, but in general, in this case, if the missing person has not been found within a few days, the probability of survival is extremely low.
If it is an ordinary family member of the air crash, there is definitely no need for Ding Huiqiang, the military attache of the Chinese Embassy in Somalia, to come to the door in person, but Liu Zhengdong's identity is Li Mo's father-in-law, so he can't pay attention to it.
In the living room, Ding Huiqiang saw Yang Xiaorou and Liu Wei's mother and daughter in plain clothes, and the two looked obviously thinner and haggard. Even Li Mo, who was on the side, saw the two of them, and his nose was a little sour. Although he tried his best to avenge Liu Zhengdong, his identity determined that he could not let go of everything to take revenge on the American political axe. He represents not only himself, but also a large group and more than 10 million people in Somalia.
Ding Huiqiang first expressed his apology and guilt on behalf of Huaxia Zhengaxe, and then comforted the two and handed over the air crash compensation - 1 million yuan.
There's nothing to say about these processes, it's just a process full of sadness and sadness.
In the end, Ding Huiqiang said that the salvage of the bodies of the victims must be strengthened, so that Yang Xiaorou's mother and daughter can rest assured of the motherland.
After a set of formulaic visits, Yang Xiaorou's mother and daughter and other women went upstairs. There were only four men left in the living room.
"Li Mo, I just heard that you seized an American freighter in the Gulf of Aden?" After Ding Huiqiang sat down, he suddenly thought of the news he received before he came, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
When he first heard the news, Ding Huiqiang felt incredible, but when he thought that it was Li Mo's doing, this incredulity became possible.
Li Mo is not a mature politician, and he does things more often than he does things. It is also not unacceptable to be able to take revenge on the Americans at this time.
So when he said this, there was still a trace of envy in Ding Huiqiang's tone. Somalia has a tough leader like Li Mo, and it is up to Li Mo to decide what to do at a critical time. There is kindness to repay kindness and revenge, do it when you think of it, and care about it.
This kind of free and easy and happy enmity is difficult for other countries to achieve.
Before Tian Jianming and Zhang Dashan heard this, they asked in surprise when they heard this, "Xiao Mo, did you really detain the American ship?" ”
"Yes, we received a report from an insider of a pirate gang that a freighter carrying a large amount of munitions was going to trade with the pirate group, so the Navy Department intercepted the 'Jewel' freighter according to the clues, and found a large amount of evidence of arms and other smuggled goods on it. Now, the freighter should be on its way back to Somalia. ”
