On the Victoria the next day, there was no part of Wu Han's muscles that did not have pain, and it was difficult to even walk. Blue Flower and Migo help her onto the boat. Li Qi said: "You see, after a day of exercise, your return rate has reached 90%. You've managed to be the center of attention. Keep going, persevere. ”

Wu Han gritted his teeth: "En! ”

The older the elderly, the younger the children all eat this set.

The Victoria is docked offshore, where you can take a small cruise ship to the ship. After several people got on board, they faced very strict security checks. Strict security screening is not offensive. Only unfair security checks are offensive. The Victoria clearly did a good job of this. Whether it is an official pawn or a giant businessman running errands, all security checks are carried out without discrimination.

When Li Qi was scanning his whole body, Li Qi saw a blonde young man on the side. Li Qi intuitively told himself that this was a bodyguard. Judging by where he was, he was a cruise ship bodyguard, not someone bodyguard. In this case, the cruise ship employs a certain amount of personnel and may have a certain amount of firepower. Presumably, based on necessity, it is most likely to face Somali pirates. That is, there is a stealthy armed force on the cruise ship that can fight against Somali pirates consisting of at least two speedboats.

As far as pirates are concerned, Somali pirates are kinder. They seized ships and people, did not intrude on people, and provided adequate food and water. The truly murderous pirates are the pirates of Southeast Asia. The Southeast Asian financial crisis until 2004 was the most rampant years of piracy in Southeast Asia. In official figures, there were 234 pirate attacks in Southeast Asia in 2003 and 182 in 2004. Most of them occur in the Strait of Malacca. July 2004. Under the intervention of the United States. Several countries in Malacca have temporarily abandoned the territorial dispute. Overcoming the issue of maritime sovereignty arising from the pursuit of pirates. The coalition began a large-scale siege of pirates. There has been only one attack since July.

But Malacca pirates slowly moved to the South China Sea, where six ships were attacked in June 2010, including a Chinese petroleum carrier, according to the International Maritime Bureau. Some fishermen say pirates in the South China Sea are so cunning that they often wear uniforms and ask to board their ships for inspection. Then they will select some valuable goods and say they are smuggled to take away. Foreign experts have shown that most of the pirates in the South China Sea are veterans, and some are even active military personnel. Many armed robberies of Chinese fishing boats and freighters in the South China Sea have been perpetrated by the military and police of a certain country. Although all countries have invested, they face more than 10,000 islands. With 81,000 kilometers of coastline and limited anti-piracy investment, it seems inadequate.

There are three types of pirates in Southeast Asia, the first type is 4-10 people, who pretend to be police officers or soldiers, board ships to rob or ask for property and leave. The second is a criminal gang of more than 30 people, who own ships, bases, and reliable intelligence sources. They attack and kidnap high-value people by force to blackmail the country. The third is the most vicious, close to the terrorists, who hijack ships. Kill all the crew. Drive the boat to a hidden location, paint it, and change the name of the ship. Register as a ghost ship. Ships are sold together with the goods. The second and third are similar to the modern business organizational structure. They have subordinate branches and employees in various places. Some gangs work together, using machine guns, rockets and other highly lethal weapons.

Nowadays, from the South China Sea to Malacca, the small fish and shrimp are basically gone. Most of the large pirate groups that are still active are still active. In 2011, there were 112 pirate attacks in Southeast Asia, 15 of which were attempted. The International Maritime Bureau (IMB) reported in 2011 that there were three pirate groups with more than 100 armed men from the South China Sea to the Strait of Malacca. The main targets are small and medium-sized vessels, and there have been no reports of attacks on cruise ships. In previous years, however, American cruise ships with a crew of 160 and 600 tourists had been attacked by grenades, rockets, machine guns and rifles in the area.

The most famous battle for the attack and defense of the cruise ship was the 2009 fierce 20-minute exchange of fire between mercenaries and pirates on an Italian cruise ship.

Lan Hua helped Wu Han to follow the crew to her room, and said in a low voice, "Advisor, it's not right." ”

"How?"

"The bodyguard of the cruise ship is watching the passengers on board. Somali pirates don't send people on board. This was not the case with the Southeast Asian pirates, who were known to be spies on board ships as seafarers. Looking at this posture, it is more like the cruise ship has received some news and is checking the passengers who have boarded the ship. ”

Li Qi said: "I don't rule out this possibility, especially the gambling boat, which has a lot of oil and water." However, it is still difficult for pirates to ransack a thousand-person cruise ship. ”

Wu Han's room is on the top floor, and there are a total of forty rooms on the top floor, except for the captain, most of them are rooms for luxury tourists. Still, the room wasn't that big. Barely a little bigger than the standard suites of a 3 star hotel. The layout of the rooms is the same, with a master bedroom with a queen bed, two secondary bedrooms and four medium beds. There is also a 20-square-meter living room. However, the ship's air conditioning, refrigerator and other electrical appliances are complete. The only regret is surfing the Internet. $10 per hour for Internet access.

Of course, Mi Wu would not do this wrong, she and Lan Hua threw Wu Han on the bed and began to steal the net. Soon, Mi Wu said: "Advisor, the general counsel sent an email saying that there is an unconfirmed rumor from the International Maritime Bureau that the 'Avenida Avenida 'criminal group' among the three major pirates in Southeast Asia may attack the Victoria. The International Maritime Bureau has warned the Victoria in the hope that it will change its itinerary and not to cross the Straits of Malacca south. ”

"Ha, I was really guessed by Blue Flower." Li Qi said: "Tell the dog Xuan: The gambling personnel mostly use credit cards to buy chips, and the boat has many people, and I think that the cruise ship may be attacked, but it is difficult to loot the cruise ship and it takes a long time." In the event of an early warning, nearby troops will arrive immediately, and it will be more troublesome to get out. "That's why Southeast Asian pirates are so fond of small ships. A big cruise ship, you have to be tired from running from one end to the other.

The general counsel said he also did not think a full-scale ransacking of the cruise ship was unlikely. But he suspects that the goal of the Avenida da Pirates was not to loot the ship, but to kidnap someone on board. ”

"It's quite possible." Li nodded his head. Send a few spies in. Then the pirates attack head-on to attract the attention of the pleasure boats. Then the spies put someone in a life jacket and threw them into the sea. Kindness? Is there such a value person on a cruise ship? This may be true. Most of the tourists who can travel around the world and live in first class are retired people with money and time. It is rumored that Southeast Asian pirates have the shadow of terrorists......

The general counsel said he contacted acquaintances within the Maritime Administration. Based on the current information, he speculated that it was likely to be a hire-hire kidnapping. ”

It is much harder to kidnap a person than to kill someone. In particular, people who enjoy security conditions are unlikely to be abducted. Because kidnapping is an operation that requires a sustained process of violence. If a person enjoys high-level security in the country, it is almost impossible to kidnap him. But if you go abroad to kidnap, the actual security force will be reduced. The success rate of kidnapping is relatively high.

Blue Flower asked, "Could it be a rice field?" ”

"No, he's going to trouble him, he's a vengeful person. You don't need to kidnap him, you can just kill him. It won't be our order, because Wu Han doesn't have the worth of such a big battle. There is a certain possibility of electrical Su, after all, there is too much money. But kidnapping him for ransom is too low, and the sale is not cost-effective. If it is high, it will be tracked internationally. It's hard to wash clean. And one thing to note is that if the kidnapping by hired pirates that Dog Xuan inferred was correct, the employer should not be rushing for money. ”

Blue Flower nodded: "I seem to smell terrorism." ”

Does it smell like a terrorist? Li Qi wasn't sure. Moreover, the current information is very vague, and Xun Xuan's inference is based on the conclusion reached by rounds of inference based on thin information. It seems necessary to get the passenger information quickly, not only to find out the identity of the mysterious person, but also to avoid joining a potential mess. Piracy is not that simple, and sometimes it involves national diplomacy and military. For example, in 04, piracy was rampant in Southeast Asia, and the United States and Japan were trying to find ways to intervene. Somali piracy is rampant, and dozens of countries have sent their navies to Somali waters to curb piracy. But these countries are not against pirates. On the surface, you say what the reason is, but secretly say that you have killed all the pirates, and you have no reason to stay there. Li Qi doesn't care about these messy reasons, a principle, if he threatens the safety of himself, his companions, and his employer, and can't avoid him, then kill him.

There was a knock on the door, and Li Qi opened the door. Zhao Yunmen said: "Brother has arrived." "Say goodbye and leave,

"......" Li Qi resisted PK Zhao Yun's impulse to close the door. begging others to do things, I have to suffer a little bit of other people's temper. But as a cultivated person, he should be humble and polite when helping his friends, how can he be so unqualified? It's a pity that this person is not easy to beat, and the two of them are both defeats when they fight.

Take a look at the map of the Victoria, there is a leisure café at the stern, a casino with a main hall, a performance hall, an exhibition hall, a bathing center, a restaurant...... It is said that there will also be an art auction on board. Every few days, the boat will anchor and everyone can go fishing and diving. It is also said that there are several diving enthusiasts on board, who will be diving in different parts of the world and making a documentary.

Lan Hua pressed her hand to her ear and said, "Advisor, Zhang Daotian is on the boat." ”

"Go ahead." Li nodded his head.

Blue Flower nodded and left, and Mi Wu asked, "Can Blue Flower be trusted?" ”

"You can trust when you do good things, but you can't trust when you do bad things." Li Qi said: "I have a hunch that the mysterious person is likely to be still on the ship. ”

About ten minutes later, the first class attendant arrived. She registered her passport and went through the formalities in accordance with the procedure. Care asks if it is comfortable or not, what additional requirements there are. Then there is the choice of meals. The service here is limited by hardware, but the attendant said that he will try his best to accommodate the various requests of passengers. Of course, most of them are charged. For example, if you want to find a woman or a man, you have it. Even if you're too lazy to go out, casinos can install live gambling videos for you to participate in gambling in your own room.
