Since the last time the Ranger came to Europe and encountered thieves on board the Suez Canal, he learned about the current piracy situation in the Gulf of Aden. Despite the long history of Somali piracy, it has not yet formed a climate and has not received international attention.

According to the data, there are currently only two or three hundred professional bandits engaged in piracy in the Gulf of Aden, and they still belong to different gangs, and most of the rest are fishermen and pirates are only part-time.

Zhou You remembers very well that the real rampant period of Somali piracy began after 2006. Because the Somali government, with the help of Ethiopia, defeated the rebels and ended the civil war. Because of the after-effects of the war, there are many refugees in Somalia, and there are also countless soldiers who have nothing to do.

Whether they are refugees or soldiers, they are forced by life, and the predecessors of the pirates have earned a lot of dollars from kidnapping and ransom, which has attracted more and more people to join.

And the international community has been determined to fight piracy since Somali pirates robbed a Ukrainian cargo ship full of arms and tanks in 2008.

Ironically, in October, the United Nations passed the 1838 resolution to crack down on piracy, and on November 15, Abadiefya, the largest group of Somali pirates, robbed Saudi Arabia's largest oil tanker, the Sirius, and slapped everyone in the face.

On 20 November, the United Nations adopted Resolution 1843, which decided to impose sanctions on all individuals and entities that undermine peace and stability in Somalia. On 16 December, resolution 1851 was unanimously adopted, calling on the international community to actively participate in the fight against piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia.

It was only at this time that the international community became truly involved in the fight against piracy.

It's just sad that the world's great powers have acted, including the European Union, which has also sent their navies, but the pirate gang represented by Efuya was alive and well until 2016.

Zhou You is very clear about Efuya's information, in fact, not only him, as long as it is the information of the leader of the world's large pirate gangs, Zhou You is very clear, because he is a captain, and these information is something he must remember.

Efuya is only a year older than Zhou You, but at 23 years old, he has already become a major warlord two years ago. At the age of twelve, he was turned into a child soldier by the warlord, and at the age of fifteen, he became an orphan, and since then he has become ruthless.

At the age of 21, he personally defeated the warlords who supported him and ruled the smaller half of Pentland. At this time, he has set his sights on the ocean because he cannot find an economic source on land in Puntland.

However, Zhou You is very suspicious that this time the pirate is his man, because according to the history of his previous life, his main range of activities at this time is still on the east coast of Africa.

But the targets on the Ranger were too attractive for any pirate to eat, and perhaps the Somali pirates had banded together to swallow this great fortune while the Ranger was still in Europe.

But no matter who it is, even if all the Somali pirates come, it is impossible to make Zhou You soft. Because the Ranger is not an easy-to-attack merchant ship or tanker, but a real warship converted from a warship, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that they have more than 30 people and 20 guns, even if there are only 20 people and 10 guns, he believes that he can hold it.

By the time the Ranger sailed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, it was already dark, and the people on board were arranged to begin installing wire fences around the ship. The gangways on both sides of the hull were equipped with steel plates, and everyone could only board the ship through the stern.

But the stern of the ship is also installed on the second deck, and it is not easy to get on the ship, not to mention four water cannons and ten guns.

Because the Ranger is the hull of a warship, the front and rear fortress steel plates are not pierced by rifles, as long as there are no rockets, it is difficult to attack the Ranger with a thousand people.

After installing these protective measures, all the crew members were fed and drunk, and they were forced back to the cabin by Chuckel to rest, so that everyone had enough energy to meet the arrival of the big war.

Even Zhou You, although he didn't feel sleepy, would go to his room, turn off his mobile phone, and start pranayama.

At four o'clock in the morning, Zhou You woke up. He opened the safe room, took out a body armor placed inside, put it on his body, and fastened an armed belt.

This belt of arms is the standard equipment of the Singapore army, and there are four grooves to hang four grenades, but there are no grenades to hang in Zhou You. There were also ten bullet clips, all of which were loaded with pistol bullets by Zhou You.

Picked up the Boleta 92, Zhou You directly disassembled it, checked the spring inside, and hung it on his waist with a full bullet.

In fact, there is little chance that a pistol may be used today, because in battle, the pistol is so useful that it is not possible to use it unless it is used against the ship's hold.

In the safe in the safe room, Zhou You opened a closed cabinet door, and inside were twenty SAR21 rifles wrapped in real air bags.

Zhou You tore open the plastic bag, and the overall jet-black SAR21 rifle revealed its majestic heroism. Rated as one of the top 10 rifles, the SAR21 is an epoch-making work of Singapore's military industry, which has been repeatedly praised at military exhibitions and is also a common firearm for the Singapore Army and Navy, but with a slight difference in corrosion resistance.

The separately mothballed battery was opened, and the tour was loaded into the sighting device in the upper part of the gun, and the laser sight began to be adjusted.

This gun can occupy a place among the top ten rifles in the world, in addition to the small recoil, accurate ballistics, the most praised is the active aiming device.

This laser sight can emit white light at night and red light during the day, and through the lens of the sight, the light can be clearly seen, where the light point points and where it hits.

For veterans, this gun will be a lot less fun. However, for novices, even if you don't know how to shoot, as long as you master the basics, you can use it proficiently.

There are only four million people in Singapore, and all men are required to serve two and a half years of military service, and after this gun was adopted by the army in '99, officials of the Ministry of Defence once excitedly said that with this gun, Singapore could organize an army of two million people.

Although this is an exaggeration, it also proves that this gun is easy to use.

After disassembling and inspecting the transmitter, automaton, barrel, and sight, Zhou You assembled the gun again, re-adjusted it, and carried it behind him.

But when he went out, Zhou You couldn't help but laugh again. The pirates haven't come yet, and I'm a little too stupid to do this.

He took off his rifle and belt, thought about it, took off his body armor, and went out easily.

In the control room, Lin Jiapei was lying on the captain's command seat, his legs crossed on the desk, tilting his head and falling asleep. First mate Bai Yancheng turned the ship to autopilot, sat in front of the screen, staring at the screen, while muttering something to the signal administrator Wen Baoshan. In the microphone in front of him, there was not a report on the engine temperature and air pressure reported by the engineer and their staff.

Seeing Zhou You walk in, both of them stood up and shouted hello boss. Zhou You nodded and asked, "Is there anything unusual?" ”

Wen Baoshan handed over the logbook and said: "At present, everything is normal, we have turned on the thermal imaging system, and it is impossible for any ship that comes close to the range of three kilometers to escape our attention." ”

Zhou You looked at the sky outside and said, "Today will be a very critical day, if the pirates don't show up, we will be able to leave the Gulf of Aden tomorrow." ”

Bai Yancheng said: "When the sky is bright, I want to send someone to check the hull, because I suspect that the pirates will launch a GPS positioning system on the ship." ”

Zhou You shook his head and smiled: "No need to check, all I want is to let the pirates find us." If they can't find us, it's not fun. ”

Hearing Zhou You say this, Bai Yancheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, if the pirates really come, I have been a soldier for twelve years, of course I will fight bravely to kill the enemy." But is it necessary for us to take the initiative to stir up trouble? ”

Zhou You smiled, sighed and asked, "You say, why do these pirates dare to attack us?" ”

Without waiting for them to answer, Zhou You said again: "It's because I'm not ruthless enough and not powerful enough!" Therefore, I must stand up and chop off all the black hands that dare to stretch out, so that everyone is afraid of me, only in this way can I have a truly stable life. ”

Hearing Zhou You say this, they stopped talking. Lin Jiapei, who was woken up when he heard the movement, rubbed his face and sighed leisurely.

He knew that he had already provoked him because of several times of dissuading Zhou You, so he didn't dare to dissuade him this time. He is very satisfied with his current job on the Ranger, with a high salary and ease. Coupled with the fact that he also gets a salary in the Ministry of Security, he doesn't want to be kicked out of his side by Zhou You.

Anyway, there have been instructions in the country, as long as Zhou You is not deliberately illegal, he should be more accommodating. It's good to do your part, there's no need to block him.

This boss is not a person who can swallow his anger, and now his right to speak is much smaller than before, and most of the power has been snatched away by Chuckle, and he is no longer interesting, and it is only a matter of time before he is driven away.

He specified that Zhou You must be very aware that he has a background in the Ministry of Security, so he tolerated himself until now, otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been removed from power a long time ago.

The sky slowly brightened, and at this time, Wen Baoshan suddenly shouted: "The situation is a little wrong, the radar shows that there are five speedboats in front of us at the same time......"

Three steps around turned into two steps, and came to the radar screen. "Immediately turn on the electronic night vision binoculars, turn on the universal radio signal, contact the other party, and confirm the identity of the ship. If they don't answer, sound the alarm immediately. ”

Lin Jiapei couldn't pretend to be asleep, so he hurriedly ran over. "Cancel the autopilot, use the Ranger's hull, destroy the opponent's encirclement, don't fall into the opponent's encirclement. But be careful not to deviate from the international shipping lanes. ”
