The thief syndicate in Egypt has a much longer history than the pirate syndicate in Somalia.

More than 200 years ago, the Suez Canal had not yet been built, and in order to save freight, goods from Asia were transshipped by land to Port Said in the north and then loaded onto ships.

At that time, various logistics and transportation industries, bandit industries that collected tolls, and thieves who took advantage of small advantages began to develop in this land.

However, due to repeated blows and the lazy nature of the locals, these glorious industries did not develop in Egypt, and were learned by their poor brother Somalia.

Today, the Egyptian government is still the number one local power, and they are the kings of the mountain, and no matter what ships pass by, they have to pay according to the tonnage, as well as pilotage fees, construction fees, etc., with an annual revenue of 2 billion US dollars.

They monopolized the logistics industry, and then monopolized the collection of tolls and protection fees, and took up the lion's share. The Somali brother was driven out of the Red Sea, so he had to settle for the next best thing and try his luck on the coast of the Gulf of Aden.

Only the thief group is an internal problem, and the Egyptian government also needs such a group of people to realize its own importance, which is the same as the ancient generals raising bandits for self-respect.

So this group of people not only did not get hit, but was supported intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, in order to show the good side of the government, they will not let their power expand.

Anyway, it is regarded as ringworm of the fur, which can only be controlled, not eradicated!

If anyone has an opinion, the government has something to say. You see, the world is difficult, and if it weren't for our protection, not only thieves would have appeared, but also pirates. Now you don't have personal safety, do you? What the meaning of our existence! If it weren't for us, I'm afraid you'd all be killed by pirates, and now it's a little economic loss, so don't talk about it.

Of course, the group of thieves also knew very well in their hearts that they were not the poor Somali ghosts, they had nothing to eat, so they had to tie their heads to their belts.

I am here for a long time, the government makes a lot of money, and I make a little money by myself, and I live a leisurely life, not to mention more moisturizing.

So, before they got on board, Muhammad and Hardy had already negotiated.

When they got on board in the middle of the night, one grabbed a boat, and Muhammad wanted the one that could hold thirty or forty men, and Hardy wanted the one that could hold about twenty.

With these two speedboats that can run up to fifty knots, even if the government army follows behind, they can't catch up!

They had a good plan here, how many people to send on board, how to control the resistance on board, how to deter the crew from loading the fuel tanks of the speedboat. In their minds, with their strength, grabbing these two speedboats is just a matter of effort.

But on the ship, Liang Hao also arranged everything with Chakle. The first time I went out, every day passed, there was a difference of one time zone, and in this more than a week, there was a difference of five or six time zones between the two sides.

Liang Hao and most of the crew's biological clocks were in a mess, and they didn't sleep comfortably for several days, sometimes they were suddenly sleepy during the day, and sometimes they suddenly woke up from their dreams in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep again.

At this time, Liang Hao really understood the hardships of the crew. It's not just hard work, it's not just heat, it's not just loneliness, it's hard to even get a good night's sleep!

Anyway, now Liang Hao only arranges his work and rest time according to his own working hours, and he doesn't care about day and night. After work, I drank two or two small wines, and I slept for a while in a dizzy mood, and it didn't matter how long I could sleep.

Sitting in the main monitoring room, there are surveillance images in front of him, radar, sonar, and camera footage from various positions in the bow of the ship.

With the exception of the Ranger, no civilian ship has such a complete set of surveillance devices as the Ranger.

In the first half of the night, Liang Hao was still a little confused, chatted with Cai Zhongwei for a while, and squinted for half an hour, but he didn't sleep for half an hour, and suddenly all the drowsiness subsided, and he became energetic again.

He knows that this is not a good thing, because it is not a normal phenomenon, and it is completely overdrawing the health of the body.

But when it comes to being a crew member, he's still a newcomer, and he doesn't know how to adjust. He can't be like Chu Yannan, Feng Haijun and other veterans now, he can sleep when he wants, and get up when he should get up.

Brewing himself a cup of instant coffee, Liang Hao returned to the monitoring table, and Cai Zhongwei, who was on duty with him, didn't read Huang Yi's novel at this time, squinting and napping.

Liang Hao doesn't like to drink coffee, every time he drinks coffee as medicine, he treats it as a medicine to refresh himself.

Picked up Huang Yi's rain and clouds, and just turned a few pages, he suddenly heard the Didi alarm sound from the radar monitor. Liang Hao paused for a moment before he understood, and immediately fixed his eyes on the screen.

They are now in the waiting area of the Suez Canal, and there is a long queue in front and behind, all waiting for ships to cross the canal.

The sensitivity of their radar is set to be between ten and fifty knots, because this is the area of the ship's sailing speed. If it's slower than ten knots, the radar won't show it, and if it's faster than fifty knots, the radar won't show it either.

On the screen, two bright spots lit up, approaching at a speed of about twenty knots. Liang Hao knew that there were many pilotage ships here, so he didn't particularly care about it at first.

In the afternoon, a few toll collectors came up from their Ranger. A lot of bills were opened, and what canal tolls, construction fees, and pilotage fees were paid, and more than 10,000 dollars had to be paid to cross the canal.

They have a small ship, which is still a few, like that kind of 200,000-ton cargo ship, each ship has to pay 40,000 or 50,000 US dollars, what a pit.

At this time, the alarm in the control room suddenly sounded, and Chu Yannan's voice came from the walkie-talkie. "The command platform, the command platform, there are two speedboats approaching, there are more than twenty people on them, emergency support, emergency support."

Before Liang Hao could react, Bai Yancheng, the first mate in front of the console, had already sounded the alarm on the ship and turned on the main power supply on the ship.

Many of the ship's equipment had to be powered on before it could be used, such as the powerful water cannons.

"Beam turbine, go to support immediately, don't hesitate."

Liang Hao reacted at this time, didn't care about complaining about Bai Yancheng and calling him this ugly title again, and slapped Cai Zhongwei, who was still a little confused. "Let's go, it's fun tonight!"

They came down from the fourth floor, and all the people in the dormitory on the second floor were awakened by the alarm, and rushed out of the cabin one by one, still wearing clothes and tying their shoes.

The most sober was Chuckle, who stood at the top of the stairs and handed out a rubber rod to everyone who passed. Liang Hao and Cai Zhongwei quickly ran down the stairs and took one by themselves.

On the radio, Bai Yancheng arranged everyone's work according to his usual training.

Now, there are only two people at the stern of the ship, and two people can only control one water cannon, so the main thing now is to activate the other water cannon immediately, so that the passage of the boarding personnel can be closed.

As for the bow of the ship, it is relatively high above the water, and after the stairs are closed, it is not easy for someone to board the ship.

At this time, Chu Yannan and Jin Qiang were already controlling a water cannon to attack the stern of the ship, and many pirates were washed into the water.

But due to the angle, there were still many pirates who boarded the ship from the other side, and they didn't care about Chu Yannan who was hiding in the monitoring room, so they rushed forward from the other side.

Although there were many people on the other side, Liang Hao not only had no fear, but the secretion of adrenaline made him extremely excited, and he rushed over first.

The last time he had an accident in Indonesia, he didn't encounter it, and it has always been the biggest grudge in his heart, how can such a wonderful experience be missing him! Every time he heard Yang Enquan and Zhou Minghong show off in front of him, he couldn't wait to beat them up one by one, which was really annoying!

The pirates on the other side obviously didn't expect the people on the ship to react so quickly, and before they could get on the ship, the alarm on the ship went off. Then the attack of the water cannon also made them suffer a lot, many people were washed into the sea, and all the people who came up were soaked.

And the other party did not seem to be afraid at all, not only did it not look like ordinary cargo ships, but when they saw them, they hid in safe houses, but they all rushed out, as if they wanted to fight them.

Muhammad's right-hand man, Marj, regretted not bringing the boss's gun, and if he shot him in the sky at this time, he should be able to scare them.

But before he could react, the little man on the other side had already pounced, and the rubber rod in his hand smashed down on everyone's heads.

At this time, he hadn't looked at the two people on the other side yet, and shouted, "Hurry up and solve the two of them!" Bilgash, Osim, you two come with me to the control room......"

Liang Hao flashed the scimitar in the hand of a pirate, and said in English: "Don't be in a hurry to leave, you can be counted as powerful in the past!" ”

As he spoke, his hand didn't stop, and the rubber rod struck a skinny pirate on the head opposite, causing him to faint.

And Cai Zhongwei didn't know English, and he didn't have the heart to speak, and the rubber rod in his hand danced like a tiger, driving the air flow to make a whistling sound, specifically aimed at everyone's joints.

At this time, the rest of the crew finally rushed over, and nearly twenty people rushed over together, and the dozen or so pirates began to retreat in fright.

These two people have already defeated the five of them, if they are so powerful with these two people, where can they still live!

When Liang Hao saw that the other party wanted to withdraw, he immediately stopped following it, but rushed directly to the other party's back, wanting to make dumplings for these people.

At this time, Merji didn't want to go to the control room, picked up the scimitar in his hand, and slashed at Liang Hao.

Liang Hao had been paying attention to this man who seemed to be the leader for a long time, and hit the opponent's arm in front of him with a stick, causing the dagger in his hand to fall, and kicking him in the stomach again, causing him to fall into Merji's arms.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out behind him...... (To be continued.) )
