At that time, the U.S. peacekeeping forces stationed in Somalia dispatched "Black Hawk" helicopters and commandos to encircle and suppress Somalia's largest warlord, Aideed. This time, the U.S. troops were plotted again, and in the streets and alleys of Mogadishu, they were caught in the quagmire of street fighting that they feared most, and hundreds of people were almost all turned into killers in an instant, and even some women and children were not skilled in shooting with weapons. Since the narrow streets were blocked by barricades, the follow-up units of the American army could not arrive in time for reinforcements. At the end of the half-day battle, 19 American commandos were killed, and 2 Black Hawk helicopters were shot down. The next day, Somali people dragged the body of a US soldier to the streets to celebrate the achievement. This footage was captured by reporters, and after it was broadcast in the United States, it caused an uproar, and under pressure from all sides, Clinton had to announce the withdrawal of troops from Somalia.

Now the local police station has detained ten people from the Flying Dragon Club, and Zhang Debiao, who led the team, is understaffed, and he doesn't want to save Mogadishu is under siege by Somali police, militia and even civilians, they don't have the cover of Pakistani peacekeepers, and there is no safe zone to withdraw, Zhang Debiao's request for help is timely, and he still stays in the local area to open up relations, and wants to spend money to ransom people, but those people ask for too high a price, and they can't negotiate at all, so they can only use a little money to make the people inside live a better life.

The residents of Mogadishu have liked to eat fish since ancient times, and crocodile intestines are a precious dish for Somalis to entertain guests, and the leopard eats very happily in the Mogadishu restaurant, "Zhang Debiao, you handled it well this time, how are the brothers on the ship, have the supplies been prepared?" ”

Zhang Debiao replied cautiously: "Brother Leopard, it's all done." "If it weren't for the fact that there was a submarine tied to the back of the barge this time, and the stakes were too big, these self-righteous so-called Somali political axe people dared to ask for a ransom of $10 million from the Wyvern Society, and they would have led people to smash their police station long ago. After a pause, he continued, "Our men are being held at the North Calorie Police Station in Mogadishu, which is the area where the main gangs in Mogadishu are fighting. ”

"The chief will arrive tomorrow, you prepare a few sets of plans first, don't ask questions and don't know when the time comes." Bai Baojun, who came with the leopard to fight the front station, reminded, "Have you got the information you collected?" ”

"It's all set." Zhang Debiao replied in a general way, after all, the hotel is not a place to talk about things.

Mogadishu's streets are straight and flat, and a few minutes east of the Baydowa Hotel, you can see a thousand-year-old castle towering like a giant on the waterfront. In the bustling business districts, in addition to modern banks, restaurants and shops, large bazaars are preserved, and some merchants hire highly armed militia as bodyguards to protect themselves, but indirectly reduce street crime. The Grand Bazaar is one of the liveliest places in the city, and residents of Mogadishu come here to buy all kinds of groceries. According to the different kinds of goods they sell, small traders automatically gather in a certain section of the market, forming a market for grain, eggs, poultry, fruits, and cloth.

Lei Dong sat in the Humvee, and there were several heavily armed guards in the car, which was very imposing. As soon as he parked at the luxury hotel, several photographers with cameras rushed up to the side and took pictures of him with a click. Lei Dong smiled at the camera, thinking about whether the front page photo of the local newspaper the next day had his headlines, and before the corners of his slightly upturned mouth returned to his original position, Zhang Debiao took Xiao Wu and Ah Bin and a few members of the Flying Dragon Club to rush up and grab the photographer like a tiger descending the mountain, and opened the camera with lightning speed, some pulled out the film, some snatched out the data card in the digital camera, and then kicked the photographers to the wall, the action was skillful and extremely standard. Lei Dong is a little confused, so powerful that there are not a few people in the local area?

Bai Baojun came over and said: "The chief doesn't know, Zhang Debiao said that these guys are likely to be from the local underworld, they take pictures of those important people who have the money to sit in luxury hotels with bodyguards, and after the photos are put on the Internet, then the gangs of the entire African continent will target us, looking for opportunities to kidnap us or our family members, and our entourage, and then ask for a huge ransom. ”

Lei Dong looked at the people who were scattered and sighed, "This place is good, there is no law, it is basically a vacuum, but how can there be so-called police who dare to detain our people?" ”

Zhang Debiao carefully explained the reason for the incident, and the port area of Mogadishu has a large dike that extends to the northeast, forming a harbor basin between it and the northwest land coast, and ships enter the port from the northeast. There are 3 berths on the inner side of the jetty, with a water depth of 9-10 meters along the edge, and the top No. 3 berth is a crude oil berth, and the southwest No. 1 and No. 2 berths are general berths. Berth No. 4 at the western end of the bay and No. 5 at the northwest shore, with a water depth of only 8.2 meters, are used for coastal trade. There is also an offshore pontoon oil berth off the southwest coast of the port area, which can moor oil tankers with a draft of 12 meters. On the surface of the Wyvern Club, there are two barges and an ocean-going fishing vessel, but for the sake of insurance, only one barge is docked at the berth to go ashore for replenishment, so that there is one barge and an ocean-going fishing vessel that can cover the submarine to float and recharge, but there are still two ships that are not docked, and the people in the port are very unhappy if they have less income.

Xiao Qi took the submariners ashore not long after they walked to the big bazaar, in the alleys around the Mogadishu bazaar, you can see the goldsmith in the shop to concentrate on creating gold and silver jewelry, silver carving is one of the specialties of Somalia, Xiao Qi They also held back at sea for a long time, that is not seen hunting heart, one by one wants to buy some back. The people who followed them and tried to frame them came out, saying that they were thieves trying to steal the jewelry from the store, and they were full of accusations that they had insulted their religion. As soon as Xiao Qi looked at their outfits, he knew that he had met a thug, all of them were black and shiny, and the locals were wearing plastic foam slippers, and they were the kind of slippers that had long been outdated and walked with the upper of their two toes between their toes.

The dark-skinned gangsters actually falsely accused them of these genuine underworlds, Xiao Qi felt very bad, and prayed in his heart that this group of people was not a pirate gang, if the pirates robbed them to the inland area, it would not be fun, these people are often attacked by United Nations staff and aid agency personnel, and the Somali refugees lack food and clothing, and they live like a year, hungry and cold, which increases the violent activities. Therefore, piracy is only a form of violence at sea, which is a form of violence, and has the support of refugees and residents, so that piracy has a broad mass base, and because of the support of the common people, piracy has become more frequent and ferocious, but because of the number of Somali pirate attacks in multinational naval escort operations, the pirates are not having a good time.

Fortunately, they didn't take out their guns, it didn't seem to be pirates, Xiao Qi's eyes rolled, "Rush up and fight, it's called robbery, it's a little louder." "Xiao Qi's strategy is very appealing to the gangsters, they were originally partnered with the local police, and they were also thinking about how to get their group of foreigners into their own territory, and Xiao Qi wanted to not make trouble and enter the bureau smoothly, instead of kidnapping pirates or stabbing local gangs to death.

By the time Mr. Zhang arrived at Mogadishu's Northern Kalu Police Station, the arrogant sheriff simply said that a group of people in the detention cell had violated Somali law and demanded a $10 million ransom. After they spent money to inquire, they realized that the group of people who came to the police station were blackmail, after the Somali self-government axe was overthrown, the warlords of various factions fought each other for the best power, and Somalia fell into a turbulent civil war, how can there be any law in the state of no political axe and the state of war, the reason they gave was that Xiaoqi had blasphemous words in their language, and the Somali people's habit of respecting camels was deep-rooted, and it was not okay not to deal with it.

After several negotiations, Zhang Debiao came to understand that if such a case of detaining people and demanding ransom could become rich overnight, buy a famous car, buy a villa, marry a wife and take a concubine, stay away from poverty, and not be in danger of becoming a pirate, how could it not be that more policemen collude with local gangsters and take risks to participate in such detaining activities.

Pirates, as Ray remembered were one eye glowing cold, the other blind with a black blindfold, stepping on a wooden prosthetic leg, waving a hand with an iron hook attached, and preferably a talking parrot. As for the sailor who is full of foul language, full of oil, smells of wine, and has a violent temper, the small character below is equivalent to passer-by.

The leopard looked at the Somali woman on the side of the road with a dark face in a colorful robe and was very unappetizing, and said anxiously, "When will you start moving?" It's not as good as the desert in Mali. ”

Lei Dong ignored the leopard and asked Zhang Debiao, "Have you checked the things you asked to investigate?" ”

Zhang Debiao hurriedly responded, "I found it." ”

The day after tomorrow, the Belarusian freighter "Yingyisha" will leave Mogadishu for South Africa, carrying 35 T-80UM2 main battle tanks, a large number of armored personnel carriers, grenade launchers and other small arms, and the freighter will fly the Panamanian flag. The purpose of Lei Dong's coming to Somalia is not only to ransom people, of course, but also to get some interest, the "Yingyisha" was hijacked by pirates in the international waters off the coast of the Indian Ocean in Kenya, or simply disappeared because of this, this is none of their business with those people from the interior of Africa, this is a good thing, Myanmar already has two If you get this batch of 35 T-80UM2 main battle tanks, then you can fight against the Type 69 tanks of the Burmese political axe army, and see whose armor is thick? No more hiding in the trenches waiting for a helicopter group to come back.

That night, Mogadishu's northern Kalu police station was attacked by tribal forces, local residents saw a wizard appear on the scene, and it was the Regard brothers who led people into the police station, except for their two brothers who showed their faces, the rest were wearing tactical hoods, the Somali climate was dry, the grass and trees were sparse, and it was difficult for cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock to adapt to this environment, Kakalho's cavalry troops had to stay in Ethiopia, and even Tiana went back to tell her father about Chad, Mangla Star, with her international film crew, also followed, saying that she wanted to photograph the ancient and mysterious Kakaryo people.
