Alamo, a small Somali coastal village

Leaf sat alone on a large rock at the entrance of the village, stunned as he looked at the sea, his forehead wrapped in gauze, which was a wound from a beer bottle thrown by He Lan, and five days had passed since the attempted hijacking, and he still had not recovered from that life-and-death struggle

The profession of pirate sounds quite bloody, but after he became a pirate, he found that in fact, being a pirate is a very easy thing, even a very gentle thing Every time, as long as they hold weapons and drive a speedboat to the freighter, the crew on the freighter will immediately succumb to the pirate who has been doing it for so many years, he has never encountered real resistance, so he has never killed a person, the word bloody, and he really has nothing to do with it

However, this experience shocked him, in the face of more than a dozen pirates armed with AK47s and RPGs, these unarmed Chinese sailors actually chose to resist the only homemade Molotov cocktails they had in their hands, as well as fire water cannons, rope throwers, distress chimneys and beer bottles, but they relied on such things to successfully prevent Liv and others from controlling the entire freighter, and finally waited for the rescue helicopter

As soon as Liv closed his eyes, he could think of the beautiful Chinese woman, she actually hit Lief's head directly with a beer bottle, Liv remembers, he subconsciously pulled the trigger of the RPG, and the rocket hit the living platform of the freighter, was the woman killed by herself?

In addition to the apprehension of this thrilling battle, Lief also thought of a worrying thing: the European broker had paid $50,000 in advance to hijack the ship, and the terms were to keep the ship seized for at least 15 days on the shores of the Gulf of Aden, but he had done it himself, and after the French warship arrived, the ship did not stop and continued to sail to the Red Sea

If you don't get things done, will the Europeans come and ask for the original deposit? Leaf desperately remembered where the $50,000 had gone, and he remembered that he had spent more than $20,000 on a speedboat and weapons, but the rest of the money had gone to no apparent point of view, and all he could recall was that he and his minions had gotten drunk every day the other day, and then went for a ride at sea...... How can such entertainment cost $20,000?

"Alas, it's really not good, just rely on the money that has been spent, what else can he do?" Leaf thought to himself that the Europeans were indeed prestigious, but would they send an army to kill this small village of Alamo for a mere $50,000 thing?

It is impossible for them to send an army to land here...... Reassuring himself, Leaf looked up at the beach, as if to confirm his suspicions

It didn't matter what he saw, but on the sea less than 1 kilometer away from him, there were really three motorized speedboats, and before Liv could come back to his senses, the speedboats had already approached the shore, and more than a dozen men masked with black cloth and armed to the teeth jumped off the speedboat, and rushed in the direction of Liv with guns

Not good

There was a buzz in Leaf's head, he subconsciously stood up, wanted to run towards the village but couldn't move his feet at any point, he was really paralyzed with fright

"%¥@&......" A deep voice sounded in Liv's ears This person spoke an unknown language, Liv didn't understand, but by instinct, he knew that the other party was warning him, judging by the skin color of the other party's bare arms, these people should be Latinos, when he was a soldier under the warlord, he had seen a military adviser invited by the warlord from Latin America, and the adviser's complexion was like this, with a little brown

Liv didn't know that the underworld boss Johannes Liff in front of him was only an amateur in South America, and Johannes was a real professional, and it was not an exaggeration to describe him as killing people without blinking..., this time, Johannes received an invitation from Lan Wufeng and asked him to come to Africa to do something, of course, the price offered by Lan Wufeng was also very considerable From Lan Wufeng's original intention, he didn't expect Johannes to come out in person, but this brother was tired of being in Latin America, wanted to come out for a change of air, and the second was also to show Lan Wufeng that he valued him He knew that Lan Wufeng was a rich financier, and he could help him get some good goods in the international arms market, and he was a person worth befriending

Seeing that Leaf was confused, Johannes beckoned to the people next to him, and a temporarily hired black translator stepped forward and said to Leaf: "Don't move, our boss asks you, is this Alamo Village?" ”

"Here......" Although Lif's IQ is not high, he can also guess that Alamo Village, which is definitely coming for him, is not a famous place, neither produces gold and diamonds, nor beautiful women, and the only specialty is pirates, and the only thing that his gang of pirates have done is the evil act of robbing the Hanyuan No. 4 ship last week

However, what Lief thought of was not the shipowner's revenge, these cheap lives of the pirates were really not worth the concern of those wealthy shipowners, he thought that this group of people must have been sent by European brokers, Nima, for the sake of $50,000, are you worth it to make such a move? I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back, did I?

"Is it really?"

Johannes became impatient, and asked again in an accentuated tone, and when the black translator translated it, he didn't even change his tone

"Yes, sir, may I ask you......" Lief did not dare not admit that a village was placed here, and he tried to soften his tone, wanting to be close to the other party

"There's a pirate leader named Leaf, do you know him?" Johannes interrupted Leaf and continued to ask

"I ......" Leaf didn't know whether to admit it or not, people shouted his name to come to the door, it was definitely not good, but, don't admit it?

"Sir, Lief...... It's a very common name, there are more than a dozen of them in our village called Liv, can you tell me about his characteristics? Leaf replied in what he thought was ingenious

"He must have had a little bit of an injury to his head these days," said Johannes, who had told him over the phone when he got off the plane in Djibouti, and after saying this, Johannes' eyes were fixed on Leaf's head, looking at the gauze wrapped around his head, and Johannes's face showed a hideous smile

"If I'm not mistaken, you're the pirate leader Leaf?" Johannes asked

"Sir, I would like to ...... There may be a bit of a misunderstanding between us" Lief knew that he couldn't hide, until this time, he still thought that the other party was sent by the European broker to ask for money, he just didn't understand, how did the Europeans get the news that he had a head injury?

"I don't think it's a misunderstanding," Johannes snorted coldly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, the gang of bandits who followed behind him got the boss's code, and rushed up with an arrow, and before Lief wanted to explain something, he saw several carbines being rounded as maces and slammed at him

"Whew"

Leaf howled like a wolf cub, the South American gangsters really didn't blow it out, the attack was extremely vicious, and in just a few seconds, one of Leaf's arms and legs had been broken, and two ribs had been broken, and the majestic pirate had been broken, and now he became a poor uncle rolling around

"Sir, sir, I really tried my best but the crew of that ship is too strong for us to attack the money you gave me, and I will definitely return it to you......" Leaf lay at Johannes' feet, weeping bitterly and begging for mercy..., "Money? Johannes was stunned, this was something that he hadn't thought of beforehand, could it be that this attack was not an ordinary pirate robbery, but someone was buying the murder?

Johannes, who had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, of course, knew the value of this information, and he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Let him tell who told him to rob the Chinese's ships, and no details can be missed."

It was too easy to pry open Leaf's mouth, and before the bandits could torture him, Leaf confessed all the things about how the mysterious European had paid him to rob a ship if he had found him

Johannes' men rushed into the village murderously according to Leaf's confession, and began to hunt down the pirate members door to door, like Leaf, most of the pirates had not personally participated in the war with real guns, and in front of these South American gangsters, they did not dare to resist at all, and obediently came out of the house with their guns held high in both hands, and tied their hands

Only one pirate, who didn't know whether he had a brain problem or a strong nature, actually hid in his house and fired a shot at the bandits, which angered the bandits, and they threw two high-explosive grenades directly at the thatched house, and then the thatched house was blown to pieces along with the pirate's whole family

"Are they all here?" Johannes looked at the dozen or so pirates tied up in a bunch and asked Leaf

"It's all here," replied Lief timidly

"Now do you know why we're here?" Johannes asked

No matter how stupid Liv was, he understood what was going on, and he replied with a bitter face: "I understand, sir, you are here to avenge those Chinese"

"You're right," Johannes laughed, "I'm telling you, you messed with someone you shouldn't have messed with, so you have to be punished"

"Sir, may I ask what you mean by punishment......" asked Lief

"You'll know," Johannes said

At this time, Johannes' men had already driven out the whole village with guns, and Johannes was standing by in a noisy and called the black interpreter to him, and asked him to shout to the whole village:

"Guys, I think you should know what happened the other day These gentlemen in your village attacked a ship at sea that should not have been attacked, yes, it was a Chinese freighter I hope all of you remember that in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, if anyone dares to attack a Chinese freighter, there is only one fate for him, and that is death"

"No," Leaf shouted in despair, he had already been beaten by the bandits, he thought that this was the end of the matter, who would have thought that the other party would still want their lives

But it was too late, the bandits took a few steps back, the automatic weapons in their hands "clicked", and in the screams of the women and children of the village, a group of pirates led by Lief rolled and fell to the ground, each of them was shot dozens of times, and blood flowed into a stream

"Go" Johannes waved his hand in a chic manner, and walked to the beach with his subordinates as if no one was around, boarded the motorboat they left there and soon disappeared into the vast sea As for how the people in Alamo Village cried and wiped their tears, it was not their concern According to Johannes's original idea, he also wanted to destroy the entire village, but Lan Wufeng told him that he only needed to punish the murderer, and for the innocent people, there was no need to hurt them

The news that the Lief gang was massacred by a group of outsiders soon spread throughout the villages along the coast of Somalia, and there was no way to do it, it was really appalling, first the pirates from the nearby villages came to inquire about the news, and then the reporters who didn't know where also rushed to hear the news, and the bloody photos of Liv and others were published in the local newspapers in Somalia for a while..., Somalia is a war-torn country, and it is not a new thing to kill a few people, but this time the situation is completely different, According to the people of Alamo Village, the murderers left wild rumors that as long as they dared to rob a Chinese ship, they would definitely end up like this

"Zhenhua, you made us very passive"

In a sea-view hotel in Aden, Chen Tian said to Lin Zhenhua with a bitter face in a newspaper that was carrying long news about the massacre of Lifu and others, including a commentary article condemning the indiscriminate killing of innocents by Chinese and sending armed men to invade Somali territory

Lin Zhenhua was holding another newspaper in his hand, and the news on it was the same, he said to Chen Tian with a smile: "Chen Ju, you are a good person who has been wronged, you see that I have been taking care of Lan Lan these days, where have you left Yemen?" You can't put anything bad on me? ”

"Don't think I don't know what Lan Wufeng has done for you" Chen Tian said, his wife Qi Yue is Lan Wufeng's top boss, what did Lan Wufeng do, how could Chen Tian not know? Besides, the information about Lifu was investigated by Chen Tian's subordinates, and what Lin Zhenhua, who he personally handed over to Lin Zhenhua, did with this information, Chen Tian could guess with his toes

"Blood debts and blood repayment, I have already said it" Lin Zhenhua said lightly, "If it weren't for the fear of bad international influence, I would have wanted to slaughter those monkey cubs myself."

"If you do this now, aren't you afraid of bad international influence?" Chen Tian asked rhetorically

Lin Zhenhua said: "They can go to investigate, there is not a single Chinese who go to do things, why should they rely on the Chinese for this matter?" ”

Chen Tiandao: "The murderers made it very clear that this was a retaliatory action to punish Liv and others for robbing the Hanyuan No. 4 ship."

"What if they're planting? What if it is taken by international friends out of deep friendship for the Chinese people? Who saw with which eye that this matter was related to the Chinese? Lin Zhenhua said impassionedly

Chen Tian shook his head and said: "I have to say, you have thought about this matter quite thoroughly, and you didn't let our people do it in person from beginning to end, I was really worried at the beginning that you would take Hanhua's workers to fight in groups, or let Lan Wufeng's educated youth troops go to war."

"Chen Ju, do you know what a mercenary is? It's the 21st century now, how can we let our people put themselves at risk? Lin Zhenhua said proudly

Chen Tiandao: "Despite this, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this incident is definitely a Chinese envoy who killed 20 people in one breath, and three of them are family members of pirates, and they did not directly participate in the crime, this method is indeed a little murderous, and the international community is also very indignant about this, and the spearhead of international public opinion is directly directed at China."

Lin Zhenhua said: "I just want to kill people and make a detour, so that the Somali pirates will take a detour when they see the Chinese ship in the future, as for what international public opinion says, anyway, they have no evidence, so let our embassies abroad issue a solemn statement to protest against those irresponsible speculations, okay, a country that is not protested, are you embarrassed to say that you are the five permanent members of the United Nations?" ”

"What kind of crooked reasoning," Chen Tian rebuked, "The peace-loving image that we have worked so hard to create has been ruined by your impulse."

"Peace-loving?" Lin Zhenhua smiled, "Will anyone believe it?" Also, does anyone talk to you about peace because you love peace? ”

"Forget it, forget it, the thing has already been done anyway, and if you say anything, I shouldn't help you, find information about pirates for you," Chen Tian said, he said that, in fact, he still agrees with Lin Zhenhua's actions in his heart, he is an official in the system, and it is naturally inconvenient to mess around like Lin Zhenhua Lin Zhenhua is a business, and it is Lan Wufeng, who lives overseas, to handle this matter, and no one can find any fault with him

Chen Tian himself admitted that Lin Zhenhua's practice of killing people and establishing authority should be effective, because people are good at being bullied by others, and horses are good at being ridden by others; after this incident, Chinese merchant ships passing through the Gulf of Aden should have increased their safety factor several times

"By the way, Zhenhua, you said that those friends of yours got a piece of information from Liv, saying that Liv came prepared for the attack on the Hanyuan No. 4 ship this time, do you have detailed information?" Chen Tian changed the topic and asked Lin Zhenhua

Lin Zhenhua handed Chen Tian the faxed information from Johannes and said: "According to Leaf's confession, a European broker gave him $50,000 to attack the Hanyuan No. 4 in order to make the Hanyuan No. 4 stay in the Gulf of Aden for at least 15 days, and it seems that one of our business competitors is using three tactics
