Chapter Sixty-Four: I Met a Sea Pirate
"There's a pirate coming! Fast! Run, everyone! ”
The panicked shouts on the ship are getting louder and louder!
Suddenly, a few gunshots were remembered outside! Then there was a jumble of footsteps and a few people shouting loudly in the indigenous language of Malaysia!
As soon as Haitian heard this, he guessed that these pirates were pirates in the Strait of Malacca!
A pirate is a criminal who specializes in robbing other ships at sea.
It is a fairly old criminal industry, and there have been pirates since the days when ships sailed.
Especially after the 16th century, when navigation was developed, pirates were found in coastal areas where commerce was developed.
And the geographical environment of the Strait of Malacca is the best place to breed pirates!
The Strait of Malacca is a waterway connecting the Indian and Pacific Oceans, with the Indonesian island of Sumatra on the west coast and West Malaysia and southern Thailand on the east coast
The Strait of Malacca is named after the presence of Malacca, an ancient city in Malaysia, along its coast.
The Straits are currently administered by Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.
The Strait of Malacca is the throat of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, with a navigation history of more than 2,000 years, and is an important sea passage between Asian, African, Australian, and European coastal countries.
Due to its busy sea transport and unique geographical location, the Straits of Malacca is known as the "Crossroads of the Sea".
The Strait of Malacca is known as Japan's "maritime lifeline".
It is precisely because of the extremely important geographical location of the Strait of Malacca and its political sensitivity that the United States, Japan, and India have been trying to get involved in the patrol and management of the strait, but Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, which enjoy sovereignty over the strait, have refused their involvement! It only invited nearby Thailand to join the strait patrol and invited Huaxia to help the strait patrol, but explicitly rejected the request of the United States and Japan to join the patrol, but allowed the other side to provide technical equipment and technical guidance.
The Strait of Malacca is an important international waterway, both economically and militarily. Its importance can be compared to that of the Suez Canal or the Panama Canal.
Due to its importance, the Strait of Malacca has been successively controlled by the Arabs, Portuguese, Dutch and British.
As the Straits of Malacca is a busy waterway, there are many narrow widths in the strait. In the 19th century, the Strait of Malacca was a strait infested with piracy. Pirates robbed merchant ships passing by.
In the 21st century, piracy has not disappeared and is becoming more and more rampant. This is due to the increase in the number of cargo ships in the Strait of Malacca, the limited strength of the navies of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore, and the fact that the Strait of Malacca is the junction of the three countries, and there are some problems in international cooperation.
Piracy in the Strait of Malacca in modern times accounts for one-third of the world's piracy.
The main pirate forces are the Somali pirates, the Caribbean pirates and the Malacca pirates!
The famous pirate nation of modern times is the Moro people of the Philippines.
Incidents of piracy and murder in the waters off Malacca in Southeast Asia are endless.
There are two ways for pirates to hijack ships, one is to get on the ship with knives and guns and rob money and ornaments and leave, and the other is to rob the whole ship, sell the goods on board, and then change the hull of the ship, get a fake Panamanian or Honduran registration certificate and sell it under the name of the ship.
In recent years, piracy has become more brutal, and while most of the piracy cases occur in Southeast Asian waters, it is Japanese ships that suffer the most, with an average of one out of every three Japanese shipping companies being robbed in the past five years.
It seems that even pirates are not waiting to see Japan!
Haitian couldn't help but shake his head helplessly when he thought that he was finally going to smuggle back to China, and he had just met a smuggler, and he had encountered a pirate!
The gunfire outside is getting more and more intense! There were even a few bullets that flew next to the box where Haitian was hiding, which alarmed him and made him break out in a cold sweat!
"Mother's Hippie! If this is hit by a stray bullet, the famous Asura will die here, and he won't be laughed at if he says it! ”
Haitian was about to break out of the box when he heard the smugglers outside shouting in panic: "We surrender!" We surrender! Don't shoot!! ”
The shouts came and went!
"Bang!"
Then the two ships came together, and there was another rush of footsteps!
But the speaker spoke in English, the international language: "What is on your ship?" ”
The smuggler replied in stammering English: "If you let us go, we will divide half of the cargo on board!" ”
Haitian knew that it was over as soon as he heard it, and that idiot was still negotiating terms with the pirates!
Sure enough, the pirate replied to the smuggler with a dense burst of gunfire! After a few screams! It is estimated that the smugglers on the smuggling ship were all killed by pirates! Then the man who spoke in English shouted:
"Quick! Open the box for me!! ”
The two pirates stepped forward, opened several chests with a crowbar, and immediately shouted:
"Oh! Oh! Boss, gold! It's all gold bricks! Now we're posting! ”
The boss then shouted in ecstasy, "Open it all for me!" ”
I saw that the wooden boxes were all opened one by one, and when the boxes where Haitian was hiding were opened, the two pirates who opened the boxes made a big jump, hurriedly threw away the crowbar in their hands, picked up the submachine gun hanging around their necks, and shouted at Haitian: "Boss! There's one more person here! ”
Just listening to a clattering sound, Haitian knew that at least two dozen submachine guns were loaded! It seems that the number of pirates is at least two dozen!
At this time, a head with a black beard stretched out! The fierce god looked at Haitian viciously and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The black-bearded pirate holds a sparkling desert eagle in his hand! The muzzle of the gun is gloomy at Haitian's head!
Haitian smiled bitterly and shook his head as he slowly stood up, and said to the Blackbeard Pirate in English:
"I'm just a stowaway! Accidentally got on the wrong boat! Didn't bother you! Go ahead! Go on! ”
The Blackbeard pirates were stunned for a moment, and then dozens of pirates burst out laughing at the same time!
"This guy is kind of funny! Take him away, and maybe he can sell it for a good price! ”
The blackbeard pirate saw that Haitian looked good, so he didn't mean to kill him, plus Haitian didn't feel any dangerous aura on his body at this time, this is the biggest expression of Haitian's skill after the progress, and the whole person is even more restrained! The Blackbeard pirates really think Haitian is a stowaway!
If Blackbeard knew that the person in front of him was the famous Asura, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, happy that Asura's head could indeed be sold for a good price, sad that he was afraid that he would not be able to sell him, and the final result was probably to lose his wife and soldiers!
Two pirates agreed, and one of them pointed a gun at Haitian and shouted, "Bastard! Come on! ”
Haitian was driven to the side of the smuggling ship, and saw a medium-sized broken ship, and the spear on the bow of the smuggling ship had been inserted into the hull of the smuggling ship! That's the ship of these pirates! On the deck of the pirate ship, there are several pirates standing, all with guns in their hands! When I saw that I had caught a little white face and came back, I started laughing!
One of them even pinched Haitian's ass! Laughing: "Haha! Looks like it's a good time to have a good night! ”
Haitian wants to kill these guys right away, but not now! Not only are there several of them grabbing against themselves, although Haitian is sure to kill them instantly, but the danger is too high, it's hard to eat guns, and the most important thing is that they are on the sea now, how can they go back after killing them! Do you want to drift on the sea and try your luck? “
Especially Haitian looked at the murderous pirates next to him and looked at him, the momentum was obvious, as long as you dare to move, he will beat you into a sieve!
Haitian thought about it, but when he saw the pirate's broken ship, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "When pirates treat them like this, it's too unlevel!" Looking at that blackbeard, he doesn't look like a person who has no skills, how can he mix so badly! ”
But if you think about it, all countries are fighting piracy and terrorism very hard now, and it's not bad that they can have this now!
In this way, Haitian was taken to the bottom of the pirate ship, probably because Haitian was not afraid of himself, and the murderous guy behind him also kicked Haitian hard in the ass!
Haitian stumbled into a big iron cage, the iron door clanged, and it was locked by a big iron chain!
It was dark in the cabin, but Haitian could still see the situation inside! Haitian found that there were still some people locked up here, and if you looked closely, it should have been captured by these pirates from other ships!
"Are these pirates part-time traffickers?" Haitian muttered, then closed his eyes and began to meditate, after all, the air here is very closed, and the smell is stinking, Haitian began to operate the true qi in his body, strictly controlling the situation in his body, he knows very well that he needs the best state to face what is going to happen next!
The most important thing is that the things he carried with him were all scavenged by those pirates, the fish intestine sword, the village masa, and the mysterious wooden box!
Now Haitian can only pray that those pirates can read the goods and not throw away his treasure as scrap metal, then the gain will outweigh the loss!
Haitian was running the true qi, expanding the range of perception to the maximum, observing the qiē on the ship!
I don't know how long it took, the people who were caught in the bottom of the ship became a little restless, Haitian knew that they must be hungry and thirsty, after all, in such an environment, even Haitian felt a little uncomfortable, let alone these ordinary people!
At this time, I saw that the hatch was suddenly opened, and a strong daylight rushed into the hatch, and then two tall figures walked out of the strong light, each carrying a small bucket in their hands, and swearing in English!
At this time, the iron gate was opened, and Haitian saw that these two people were here to deliver food and fresh water!
I saw that the two people put down the keg and did not leave immediately, Haitian knew that his opportunity had come......
