Chapter 1801: Who Robs Whom?
Since ancient times, there have been pirates on the sea, and in recent years, piracy has not gradually decreased, but has increased. The reason for this is that there is now a growing international polarization of wealth and political turmoil in many countries. Therefore, many people in poor countries near the sea, or those veterans, directly become pirates, specializing in plundering passing ships at sea.
Many people think that there will be such pirates in those countries near Somalia in East Africa, but in fact, in Asia, compared to Indonesia, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka, there will be many pirates in these surrounding waters. And the reason for this is because many islands have not really been controlled by the state, and countries such as Myanmar and Sri Lanka have a turbulent domestic political situation, and there are many veterans, who plunder the ships passing by in the nearby waters or near the islands, and often the maritime forces of the surrounding countries are not as strong as those pirates, and they are often succeeded by those pirates.
Now Hua Feng saw a real pirate for the first time, and he stood on the deck with Hua Wu, looking at a long-standing steamship in the distance, with several pirate flags waving in the wind, which looked terrifying. If it weren't for the fact that there were crew members on the ship who had encountered them before and knew that those people were pirates from the nearby waters, Hua Feng hadn't felt that those pirates wanted to come over and stop them.
"Xiao Feng, will you go down first?" You Xinghai was patrolling just now, but he didn't expect to hear the alarm sound, so he hurried up to the deck of the ship.
"Brother You, just with those weapons in their hands, they robbed us?"
Hua Feng said with a smile.
On that old steamer, the pirate members in shabby military uniforms, except for a dozen or so holding old-style **** and some cannonballs, there were no other weapons that caught their eye. For those ordinary merchant ships, they simply could not resist in the face of those pirate weapons. However, now there are the most advanced Russian weapons on this ship, and if it were not for them to be captured alive, an advanced shell would have flown over a long time ago, and those pirate ships and pirate members would have been sunk.
"Xiao Feng, it's better to be careful!"
Those pirate ships, in addition to the dilapidated steamer in the middle, also had a few small speedboats, ready to surround Hua Feng and their steamer. When You Xinghai took the night vision goggles and looked at the pirate ships a hundred meters away, Hua Feng could already see the excited pirates standing on the boat.
"Let them get closer, and then bombard the pirate ship in the middle and capture all their pirate members!"
You Xinghai looked at a person in charge of the Golden Triangle Alliance on the side and said. After the person in charge went down, he stood beside Hua Feng. At this time, those pirate ships were less than fifty meters away from them, because now those pirate ships didn't know that Hua Feng's steamer was on board, and they thought that they had caught a big fish tonight.
After all, merchants who can go to sea with the Chinese flag, and in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean, those pirates are relatively wealthy Chinese merchants, as long as they take them, in addition to using hostages to exchange a sum of money from the Chinese government, they can also take all the goods on board.
"Let them stop there and not move! (English to Chinese)"
In the distance, the leader of the pirate steamer, Guta, shouted with a binocular. At this time, a small speedboat drove towards Hua Feng and them, and when they found the pirates just now, this steamer had already stopped there. Of course, in addition to reassuring those leaders of the Huatai Group on the ship not to be nervous, the other soldiers of the Golden Triangle Alliance and the members of the New Hongmen were all excited.
"Stand there at once, or we'll open fire! (English to Chinese)"
。。。
A swarthy pirate member of the runabout shouted with a loudspeaker.
However, when he had just shouted to stop and saw that there were only three people on the deck of the steamer watching, and no other figures were seen, he thought that all the merchants on the steamer were frightened. When he was about to drive the speedboat back, he didn't expect that on the dark sea, there was suddenly a white light, and a loud voice flew overhead.
"Boom!"
。。。
The cannonball that flew out of Hua Feng's steamship flew directly towards the pirate steamer fifty meters ahead, shelling the middle of the pirate steamer. Amidst the screams and shouts of those pirates, there were already several small speedboats that had launched from Hua Feng's steamship and went directly to those pirates.
"Bang!"
。。。
Because those Golden Triangle Alliance soldiers were holding too many guns and bullets in their hands, in addition to the bullets that just now made those pirates not react, the bullets fired by those guns now made them have to hide in the boat or jump into the sea.
Hua Feng stood on the deck and watched the gunfight in the distance soon end, and those pirate ships had been driven over by them. Soon, a middle-aged man from Sri Lanka in his forties and fifties was brought up by two soldiers from the Golden Triangle Alliance.
"Who the hell are you? (English to Chinese)"
Guta looked at Hua Feng and asked. When I saw this steamer that was similar to those luxury cruise ships just now, I thought it was a ship with very valuable cargo, but I didn't expect that the other party's arms and force were even more powerful than those of the Sri Lankan Navy.
"Humph! Do you think that when you see the Chinese flag hanging on it, you think that Chinese businessmen are easy to bully? (English to Chinese)"
Hua Feng looked at them and said.
In many places, despite the Chinese fishermen or Chinese merchant ships flying the Chinese flag, many countries simply don't pay attention to it because they don't think China is strong enough to be their umbrella. Now it makes Guta almost want to die, and he wants to rob the other party, but he didn't expect to be easily cleaned up by the other party.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Hua Wu on the side kicked the other party's legs fiercely, kicking the other party down on the deck. When the other party screamed and his face became distorted because of the pain, Hua Feng didn't feel pity for them at all. If you want to be a pirate and rob other people's goods, you must be prepared. After all, if other businessmen encounter them, there are many miserable things.
"Brother Wen, except for the five dead pirates, the remaining eighteen were all captured. Of these, thirteen are Sri Lankan nationals, two are Indian nationals and the remaining three are Myanmar nationals. The head of the Golden Triangle came over and said.
"Even Ah San participated?"
"Lock them up first, and ask them out of their headquarters as soon as possible, then it may be the best gift to the Sri Lankan government!"
Hua Feng said with a smile.
He didn't expect India to participate, in fact, India is a country that looks glamorous and is known as one of the BRIC countries, but in fact it is even poorer and more polarized than many people imagined.
So, it is not surprising that there are pirates in the Indian Ocean.
