When Captain Jack opened his eyes in a daze, he found the Victoria Old Man slowly moving forward by the lights, and he couldn't help but be excited, sober up completely, and stumbled to the cockpit.

After running out for more than ten meters, he found that there was a boat in front of the old man, listening to the strong horsepower, it must be a tugboat, dragging the cruise ship forward, he put his mind at ease: you must not drink again in the future, blame the little monkey Xiaoshuai.

But soon he realized that he was not going to be dragged to the pirate's lair, it was not good, it was not good, it was not good!

When he found the fat man, Brother Badou was standing side by side with Li Xiaoman on the bow of the boat, enjoying the night view of the Gulf of Aden, and Old Jack asked anxiously: "Badou, where are we going to go?" ”

The fat man didn't look back: "Haven't we been kidnapped by pirates, where else can we go?" ”

"You can't go, these pirates are all characters who eat people and don't spit out bones, and they won't stop if they don't squeeze you dry." Captain Jack knows what kind of pirates are entrenched in this territory.

"Have you forgotten that there is a saying in China, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger?" The fat man is not in a hurry at all.

There was no way, old Jack had to return to the captain's room with a full stomach, he really didn't worry about the pirate's tugboat, it was better to drive the boat himself.

Soon I saw the dock in front of me, a few headlights shining like day, and in the harbor, there were already several large freighters, which seemed to be the trophies of the pirates.

In comparison, the Victoria Elder is much smaller. So all the way through these freighters, docked at the front.

"Looks like the pirates are doing a good business, huh?" The fat man looked at the freighters. Among them is also a tanker. I think it's a lot of oil and water.

Look at it. Brother Badou couldn't help but exclaim: "No, even a cargo ship transporting arms dares to rob!" ”

That is, his eyes can see the essence through the surface, and there are actually several main battle tanks on the freighter, as well as other miscellaneous and various munitions.

In today's world, the arms business is the most profitable, but at the same time it is the most difficult to mess with, and buyers and sellers don't want that to happen, but. But in the Gulf of Aden, such an incredible thing happened.

It seems that the pirates here are indeed rampant! Brother Badou could only sigh.

Under the guidance of the tugboat, the old man finally came to anchor, and there was a cheer from the shore, apparently the people above had found out that a cruise ship had been hijacked, and they were more excited, because in general, cruise ships were far away from this side.

"Hassan, Hassan. This time I finally got a big shot! "Someone on the shore is shouting Hassan's name, and the cruise ship represents the green bill. Big business, of course.

Hassan jumped ashore first and greeted his companions: "The old cruise ship that is about to be scrapped does not have much oil and water." If it was a luxury cruise ship, it wouldn't dare to come to us! ”

Someone studied the Victoria Old Man, it was indeed an old-fashioned thing, so the enthusiasm just now quickly faded: "It won't be bought by any chieftain to play, there is an explanation from above, it is best not to contradict their rich people." ”

Although Somali pirates are rampant and have a different faith from most countries in black Africa, they are also on the African continent after all, and rabbits do not eat the grass around their nests.

Hassan said a few times in his mouth: "Don't worry, it's China from Asia." ”

The others also laughed: "Hello China people, we like it the most!" ”

This is definitely not because the pirates have a noble spirit of internationalism, but because in the course of the robbery in recent years, they have scooped up the most oil and water from Chinese ships. As for the reasons for this, let's not talk about it.

The pirates' unbridled talk soon attracted the "fleet marshal" of the docks, Mr. Ali, a grim-looking middle-aged man who was also the commander-in-chief's right-hand man and Hassan's top boss.

In any case, it was also the first cruise ship captured since the establishment of the fleet, so Mr. Ali, accompanied by Major Marshal Hassan, boarded the cruise ship to visit.

"This fat man is the owner of the cruise ship." Hassan introduced the big man very doggedly, and when he saw the fat man walking on the deck, Ali couldn't help frowning: "Why don't you control it?" ”

Probably in his eyes, this fat man was piled up with moving dollar bills of the same volume, and he should be "protected" at the end point.

"Dashuai, this fat gentleman is very cooperative, we have had a simple negotiation, and he agreed to pay a ransom of 10 million US dollars." Hassan doesn't mind writing a few more blank checks either.

To say that these pirates also keep up with the times, they are generally not interested in the cargo on the ship, and even if they get their hands on it, it is very troublesome, they have no sales channels, so they only accept money. From the beginning of the hostage-taking, the whole thing is a business negotiation, just like doing business, sometimes, the two sides bargain, this kind of negotiation will last for more than half a year. It's really rare to see someone as happy as a fat man.

When he first heard such a huge amount, Ali Dashuai was also suppressed. However, after staring at Brother Badou carefully for a while, he sneered a few times: "Hassan, I have reminded you many times before, when you have nothing to do, you should read more reading newspapers and strengthen your study." If you read a lot of newspapers lately, you definitely won't even know the famous fat Mr. Gao. I advise you, increase the ransom tenfold right now! ”

"Fat man Gao, is it the fat man who excavated the Nazi treasure, handsome, we really caught a big fish this time!" Hassan also pretended to be overjoyed.

It's not just a big fish, it's just a big goldfish - Ali Dashuai's heart is also extremely excited, but his face does not show it, he just continues to encourage Hassan to keep learning and become a pirate with knowledge, a future and ideals. To this, Hassan of course nodded vigorously.

After the marshal had finished his ideological and political work, he ordered all the distinguished guests to be invited to the base for resettlement, and everything was treated to the highest standard, and then the marshal hurriedly went to the commander-in-chief to report the good news.

Soon, the fat man and his party, including Captain Jack and the ship's sailors. were taken to several cars. Then whistling away in the night. It lingered until it was dark. The big cart drove into a ruined village, and more than twenty pirates with loaded guns escorted the fat man and their mobile ATMs out of the car.

Brother Badou had long heard that Somalia was poor, but he never imagined that he would be so poor. The houses in the village were all twisted and crooked, as if they might collapse at any moment, and a few little black children with bare buttocks stood on the side of the muddy road, all with yellow faces and skinny skin. At first glance, there is a high level of malnutrition.

I heard the sound of the car's engine, and people came out of the dilapidated huts one after another. The clothes on their bodies were more torn than the huts they lived in, and without exception they were all covered with vegetables, and their eyes looked blankly at this side, giving the impression to the fat man that this was a group of walking corpses who had lost their spirits.

This is the first time that Badouge has come into contact with the truly impoverished villages in Africa, and their lives are even far worse than those of the indigenous people. Although the standard of living of the indigenous tribes is not high, they live happily. It is a person with a soul.

It wasn't until he saw Hassan in the crowd that there was finally some life in the eyes of these people. Slowly they moved over to say hello, and then, as if they were calling Hanako, the pirates threw some food and a little money on the ground. These people immediately thanked Dade and kept saying things like Allah forbid.

"You all look at it, don't let these people run away, especially this fat man. If this ticket is made, the whole village will be able to eat for a few days, so remember it! The pirate who led the team shouted a few times, and those people nodded their heads in unison, and then, Brother Badou felt a pair of hungry wolf-like eyes shooting towards him.

Hey—the fat man waved his hand at these people, who had been numb to poverty and ignorance, and he finally realized the feeling of lamenting their misfortune and being angry.

"Boy, don't try to play tricks!" A teenage boy rushed up to the fat man, and then gestured at him with a short spear in his hand, and his gaze was as fierce as that of a little wolf cub.

The pirates burst into laughter, and they were delighted to see it. In fact, as long as these villagers are guarded, not a single hostage has escaped here so far.

The bearded pirate in the lead also patted the young man on the shoulder: "Amin, good, in another year, you will definitely be able to become a brave warrior!" ”

The warriors he spoke of, of course, were pirates. When the young man named Ah Ming heard this, he was so excited that he almost poked the short spear in his hand into the fat man's belly, and then screamed in his mouth, and ran away without a trace. Being a warrior means that you can fill your stomach and no longer have to suffer, so the biggest dream of the whole village is to become a glorious pirate.

Pathetic! The fat man didn't know if it was after entering the village, and he sighed in his heart for the first time, no wonder pirates were deeply rooted here, like a cancer, difficult to remove, because they had been completely rooted in this land. There may be only a thousand pirates in normal times, but the people who serve them are only afraid of countless people.

"Please, Fat Mr. Gao, that's my home. It's best that you don't have any thoughts of running away, or the villagers won't mind eating you, and they'll all be hungry! The bearded man who led the team stretched out his hand and gestured, and in the middle of the village, there was a mansion that was very different from the surrounding thatched huts, occupying almost half of the village, and against the background of the dilapidated thatched huts around, it was like a palace where the king lived.

Seeing such a huge contrast, the fat man suddenly understood in his heart why the young man named Ah Ming just now dreamed of becoming a pirate. It is this temptation that distorts the souls of these people.

Just as the fat man was about to take a step, he heard a shout from in front of him, and then the young man Amin ran back out of breath and ran straight to the bearded man: "My brother - brother he seems to be dying of hunger, please save him-"

"People are starving to death here every day, can I take care of it?" The bearded man said that he would change his face, and pushed the boy to the ground.

"Please, I've lost my parents, and I don't want to lose my only brother—" The boy was a boy after all, and he was crying profusely, but the pirates had already trained him to be hard-hearted, and no one would take care of him.

Brother Badou finally couldn't hold it back, he coughed twice: "Actually, I'm a doctor, I'll take a look!" (To be continued......)
