Chapter 1007: How Can It Be Justified!
Seeing this, the crew members of the Huaxia merchant ship were filled with hope in their hearts, and they all asked the captain: "Captain, these are negotiating with us, right?" It's for the hostages taken a few days ago, right? ”
"Yes, it's for those Chinese hostages, ah, you see, it's on the pirate ship opposite, oops, they even kidnapped a child, that child is so small, it doesn't seem to be a year old, hey, these pirates still have no humanity! It's too much! ”
"Hey, these pirates have done all kinds of evil and killed countless people, let's talk about humanity with these bastards!"
"Then will our warship rescue us back, my wife and children are still waiting for me at home, if I can't go back, what will my wife do, what will my children do?"
"Don't worry, our country will not give up on us, and our navy will not give up on us!"
"Yes, our country has never given up any hostages, and it will not give up us!"
As they comforted each other, the pirates behind them slammed their guns to their heads and uttered a nasty native.
The crew probably understood a little bit of the indigenous dialect and understood that the pirates didn't want them to talk, so they quickly shut up.
Lu Xin stood on the very edge, motionless, silent, his eyes staring straight at the big pirate ship, staring at the weak and weak little Mengmeng who was thrown on the deck by the pirates.
The pirate ship was two or three hundred meters away from the Huaxia merchant ship, and this distance, no matter what method Lu Xin used, could not reach it in an instant, so he did not act rashly. Just looked coldly at the big pirate ship.
The pirate leader seemed to want to join the pirates on the Huaxia merchant ship, and the pirate ship began to move closer to the Huaxia cargo ship, which was in Lu Xin's arms, so he waited quietly, silently calculating the distance between the two ships, waiting for the best opportunity to make a move.
At this time, the negotiations between the two sides have also ended.
The pirates in charge of the negotiations had not yet received an answer from the Huaxia Navy, so they sat lazily on the speedboat, waiting for the reply from the Huaxia side.
On the deck of the warship, the colonel summoned several officers. Discussion: "These pirates are just asking for ransom. Don't mention anything else! ”
An officer said angrily: "They also robbed another Huaxia merchant ship in front of our eyes, how should this be counted?" ”
The colonel thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "These pirates are inhumane and have no reason to talk about. They just want money. And just for the ransom. You want gold, or you're going to start killing hostages! ”
One officer shook his head and said, "These people can't be trusted." Last time, I said that I would do my best to release the hostages, but in the end? How long has it dragged on? ”
The colonel was silent for a while, looked at the situation of the hostages on the pirate ship, and finally resolutely said: "Give it to them!" ”
The other officers all felt that it was inappropriate, and said together: "Think twice, those pirates are the most discredited!" ”
The colonel pointed to the hostages on the pirate ship: "Look at it, all the hostages on that ship are dying, especially that little girl, who is less than a year old, has been holding on for many days, I'm afraid she won't last long!" ”
"But what if these pirates don't keep their word?"
"But what else can we do now, but hope that they are a little more human! Don't say anything else! All we have to do now is to give them the ransom and get the hostages back! ”
Not long after, a large box was brought down from the Huaxia warship, and when it was opened, it was full of brilliant gold, many gold bars, which amounted to almost 100 kilograms, and the total price of this batch of gold should be 25 million yuan according to the current calculation method of 250 yuan per gram.
The pirates on the speedboat returned to the big ship with the gold chests, and several pirates carried the boxes onto the big ship.
The pirate leader opened the box and examined it again and again, finally confirming that it was real gold, and nodded in satisfaction.
The voice of the interpreter immediately sounded on the side of the Huaxia warship, urging the pirates to release them.
It stands to reason that when the pirates receive the ransom, they will release the hostages.
What all the Chinese people didn't expect was that those pirates didn't pay attention to the urging on the Huaxia warship, they first got together and laughed and celebrated, and then drove the ship away directly, and even the Huaxia merchant ship behind them was controlled by the dozen pirates, and followed the big ship speedboat in front of them all the way, and there was no intention of releasing the hostages at all!
The colonel was angry, and all the officers and men of the Chinese Navy were angry!
The warship caught up quickly, and the big ship of the pirate was an assembled old warship, and the speed was naturally not as fast as the new-style warship, so it quickly caught up.
The pirate leader, bearded and saw the warship catching up, smiled coldly, and stopped the ship.
The colonel said a few words loudly at the pirate ship, and the interpreter also translated the colonel's meaning loudly, this black translator who studied in China, was very disgusted by the behavior of these pirates, and felt that these pirates had disgraced their people, and reprimanded them angrily.
The bearded pirate leader smiled gloomily, from the beginning when he asked Huaxia people to give him a ransom, he didn't plan to release people, first, they were robbers after all, in case they let go of the hostages on the spot, the other warship would instead aim their guns at them, and their miscellaneous troops would naturally be unable to resist, secondly, this leader was the culprit who hijacked Huaxia's crew a year ago, seeing Huaxia give ransom so happily and cared so much about the hostages, they also tasted the sweetness, thinking that you don't dare to do anything to us anyway, As long as you shoot us, we will kill hostages, so we are not afraid of the Huaxia Navy at all, the third point, there is a gap in the funds of these pirates, they have raised so many people, so many ships, so many guns, and the consumption is very large, since they have grasped the death hole of Huaxia's cherishing hostages, they are also a little unscrupulous, and they want to take advantage of this time to make another profit, this little money is just an appetizer.
At the leader's command, a pirate with a bullhorn began to shout.
When the interpreter heard this, his already dark face darkened, and he hurriedly said to the colonel: "They said let us stand back and don't approach them, otherwise we will kill hostages!" ”
The colonel's face turned pale: "They won't let people go?" ”
The translator was also angry: "This group of scum, they have proposed a new ransom, saying that the Chinese people are very rich, so they will use the ten times the ransom they gave them just now to redeem all the hostages!" ”
All the officers and men of the navy on the warship were angry: "How can this be true! Outrageous! ”
The translator said: "They said that these crew members were newly captured by them, not counting the hostages in this transaction, and the previous hostages and that little girl, if they don't pay ten times the ransom, they won't let them go, and when we get the money to them, they will all release the hostages, and the pirates let us go back and prepare the ransom!"
