The Ranger's encounter with pirates was not as ignorant as Zhou You thought. The Gulf of Aden is an international shipping lane, with nearly 20,000 cargo ships passing through each year, an average of more than 600 per day.

While they were traveling around the pirate slaughter, the Ranger encountered a Panamanian-flagged freighter head-on, but in early 2002, no one had a camera phone, and these scenes were not captured by the unprepared freighter.

But when they saw the pirates attacking the Ranger, they also asked the Ranger if it needed to call for help through the public channel.

After learning about this, Zhou You was also a little glad that he didn't kill everyone directly, and then burned the boat with a fire. What's more, there are still six people missing, who can guarantee that none of these six people will survive?

If one or two people are alive and leak this matter, then they will be the fingers of all people.

This is the same reason that Zhou You was worried about at the beginning, he can fight pirates, and he is still a hero when he is advertised. But he can't slaughter after victory, because that's a matter of humanity.

So, it's okay to kill people, even if Mr. kills a little more people, he can be set up as a big hero. But he was going to cut the grass to the roots, and that crossed the line of humanity and became a murderer.

In the evening, the Ranger was stationed near a reef between Somalia and Socotra, but when it dropped anchor, it was a westerly wind, and although the Ranger had been washed away, the smell of the dead bodies was just over the Ranger.

Not to mention the crew, even Zhou You didn't like to smell the stench of corpses all the time, so he adjusted the Ranger to a north-south direction. At this moment, the stench blew eastward, and I am afraid that it has already drifted away with the wind before it has even reached Socotra Island.

It was also at this time that the investigation team from Singapore arrived in Gaza, the capital of Somalia. Again, the Singapore embassy in Somalia had already informed the Somali Transitional Government of the information that the Singaporean-flagged salvage ship Ranger had encountered pirates in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, and had cut out the video of the pirate attack on the Ranger and sent it to the Somali Transitional Government.

However, Singapore's fears were in vain, because the Somali transitional government did not care about the lives of these pirates, let alone protest to the Singapore side through this incident, and even wanted to hide it more than the Singapore side.

Since last June, the United States has provided various material support to the Somali Transitional Government to help them fight warlords and pirates, but the Somali government forces have achieved negligible results.

Somalia at this time was much the same as it was 80 years ago, and the government army was just a big warlord, and the provinces were controlled by the small warlords, and government decrees were almost impossible to control the government army.

Even within the control of the Transitional Government, they are only in charge of the big things and can only manage the big things, not the small things. Because at the level of the town, the power is controlled by the major warlords and tribal leaders.

After knowing that the Ranger was not captured, the Somali side didn't even care how many of their own pirates died, and the first thing they thought about was to cover the lid.

The Ranger is no ordinary merchant ship, since its time in Spain, the Ranger has been the object of media attention all over the world, carrying treasures worth 500 million US dollars, attracting the attention of countless people around the world.

Numerous media outlets are now gathering in Singapore for the Ranger's return, and countless others are already eyeing the global auction on May 20. If something happens to the Ranger at this time, the pressure on the Somali government will be too great.

Although the Singapore side was a little surprised, it quickly learned their idea and happily accepted their approach.

After consulting Zhou You, the three parties even agreed to give the credit for the extermination of the pirates to the Somali government forces.

Zhou You didn't have much opinion on this, although he didn't fall into this murderous name, but at least he didn't have to bear the title of butcher. What he did this time was indeed a bit excessive, and there were many people who couldn't get used to him, and after knowing about it, I don't know how to smear him.

Old Volando was trying to clear Zhou You's name for an afternoon, but it was not particularly effective, and after hearing Somalia's request, he was overjoyed and made Zhou You immediately accept it.

At 3 a.m. the next day, the Somali Transitional Government finally managed to assemble two ships, one carrying government officials and the other carrying an army force, to the Ranger's camp.

It is very ridiculous to say that such a large Somalia has a coastline of 3,200 kilometers, but it does not have a navy. The reason why piracy is rampant in Somalia is not because the Somali government does not want to manage it, but because they really can't control it, and the pirates are more sharply equipped than the government army.

As for going to sea, the current transitional government does not even have a single warship. Two ships were sent, one was the yacht of a former warlord and the other was a requisitioned merchant ship.

Seeing the embarrassment of the guests, Zhou You couldn't even help laughing. "Chuckle, can you imagine that this is the army of a country?"

Chukel also smiled: "There are 10 million people in Somalia, but their GDP is not as much as your private wealth, a country that needs assistance even to eat, what kind of army can you expect them to have?" ”

The Ranger was brightly lit and welcomed officials from Somalia. However, Zhou You only brought Bai Yancheng and a few of them out to greet them, and Zhou Minghong and Chakr still stayed in the cabin with guns to defend themselves, and he was also worried that the Somali side would not follow the rules, because the 500 million dollar treasure was tempting.

However, Zhouyou's worries were in vain, because in addition to Somali and Singaporean officials, the guests also included observers from the United States and the European Union.

The handover went very smoothly, although the pirate attack also took a toll on the Ranger. The main thing is that the speedboat hanging on both sides of the Ranger has been hit by a stray bullet with a few holes, the glass has broken a few pieces, and the paint has broken a little.

But since the other party is so poor, Zhou You didn't want compensation. Even the captured clippers did not want to travel around, although these ships were worth a few dollars, but they had to be towed back to Singapore, and the effort and fuel were inevitably worth the loss.

Perhaps the Somalis are accustomed to war, and their soldiers are not at all different in the face of more than 100 corpses piled up on a ship, and their psychological endurance is much stronger than that of the crew of the Ranger.

They checked the engines of the five clippers, all of which were still sailing, much to the delight of the officials who had come to receive them, and with these boats and these guns, they could also use these ships to organize a naval structure.

Zhou You didn't want to deal with these people, because except for the officials in Singapore, other people were useless to him, and they would even think about dealing with him.

So after coping with it, he pushed Chuckel out. "This is my right-hand man Chakel, and he is also the commander-in-chief of today's fight against piracy, you can communicate with him directly if you have any requirements."

I watched the American official walk up to Chakle's side with a smile, but Zhou You didn't have the slightest worry. Chuckel is a person he knows very well, and it is impossible for others to win him away.

It wasn't until the sky was getting bright that the work was finally completed.

Five more of the seriously wounded captives died, and the remaining few did not survive by sight, but none of them cared. For Somalia, this is a place where human life is cheaper than dogs, and even if you go ashore, you may not be able to get medical treatment.

Even, Zhou You felt that there was a great possibility, even if most of the people here went ashore, they would be shot, and only some of the valuable leaders could leave a small life.

However, Zhou You did not care about the fate of these people. What he cares about is how the investigation team sent by the Singapore side is going to characterize the matter.

In the early morning, the sun rises over the sea level, and the beautiful morning glow reflects the entire sky beautifully. However, at this time, no one on the Ranger cared about this, and after resuming, they fell asleep one by one.

The investigation team sent by the Singaporean side, they are even more tired than traveling around them. After sending off the Somali side, they did not care about the accommodation conditions of the cabins and slept one by one. Each of them had not slept for more than thirty hours, and planes, ships, from Asia to Africa, had long been exhausted.

In the next few days, the life of the crew on the Ranger became more leisurely, turning the return journey into a vacation trip.

In particular, the members of the investigation team rarely experienced this kind of romantic journey at sea, spending several hours a day analyzing the response of the Warrior during the encounter with pirates, giving psychological counseling to the crew, and the rest of the time, enjoying the magnificent waves of the sea.

But Zhou You was busy, he was busy selling auctions, and even more so counting the merits of each crew member. Although this matter is Chakr's operation, every merit needs to be verified by him.

There are monitoring points on the ship from all angles, and evidence can be found for almost every bullet fired by each person, so it is not difficult to calculate merit, but you need to watch the video a little bit patiently.

In addition to traveling around, the one with the highest merit is Zhou Minghong. He experienced such an incident in Indonesia, and dared to sweep with a gun in front of the public, and he was shot four times in the body. This time I have better protection, so there is no psychological pressure at all.

To Zhou You's surprise, Feng Haijun was also ranked in the top five on the credit list. You know, he has not been specially trained before, nor has he killed anyone, he has been a soldier, and this time he was able to kill six people bravely, which really surprised Zhou You.

Perhaps, he can be cultivated as a spare core force in the future.
