Leaving aside for the time being the distress signal sent by the "Queen Berta" cruise ship via satellite phone, the situation is critical at the scene of the robbery.

When the captain saw two helicopters take off from the aft deck of the two armed pirate ships, he was completely cold. How did such a pirate who was armed to the pores appear, and how could he have the ability to resist in the face of such pirates and the more than 5,000 people on the ship?

He was glad to have heeded the warning to stop the ship, and if he tried to speed up his resistance, he was afraid that the pirate helicopters would easily come and drop the armed pirates and launch a retaliatory killing on the ship. The captain had never seen any storms and waves, and the Somali pirates did not know how many times they had encountered them, but he knew them too well, so he was very keenly aware that the pirates in front of him, whose armed forces were comparable to those of a small fleet, were definitely murderous pirates.

It is clear from the fact that they approached and shouted threats after they fired directly at the "Queen Berta", and it was clear that the pirates were very professional and murderous. If it's professional, the captain isn't very worried. Professional pirates are nothing more than seeking money, and they know how to kill chickens and eggs, so professional pirates usually do not kill innocents indiscriminately, of course, provided that their financial requirements are met. Murderous pirates are different, they kill as one of the ways, and even some extremely vicious pirates put killing in the first place.

Professional and ferocious pirates are undoubtedly the most terrifying, not only squeezing the last dollar of the hijacked ship, but also killing for their various purposes.

Every raid by the remnants of the Western Pacific pirates left no one alive because they feared that their information would be exposed. After the devastating blow, the remnants of the Western Pacific pirates are afraid of being attacked, so they will naturally keep everything secret, and the more secretive the better.

Under such conditions, the hijacked merchant ships suffered.

The pirates of the Western Pacific want money and life, but they have never encountered a large cruise ship with more than 5,000 tourists and crew on board, and one would think that they can't kill more than 5,000 people, right?

Two pirate helicopters landed on the flight deck of the cruise ship, and more than a dozen armed pirates rushed down and went straight to the cockpit and engine room of the ship, these two parts are the most important, controlling the engine room controls the power system of the cruise ship, and controlling the cockpit controls the management system of the cruise ship.

It can be seen that the remnants of the West Pacific pirates are quite professional, and they themselves are paramilitary armed criminal gangs.

The two armed pirate ships also moved very fast, quickly approached the "Queen Berta" cruise ship to set up a boarding passage, and 200 heavily armed pirates boarded the "Queen Berta" cruise ship from the two armed pirate ships.

These people moved very quickly, and they started directly in small groups, and their movements were crisp and neat, without the slightest delay or panic. Obviously, they had previously obtained the drawings of the "Queen Berta" cruise ship, made careful plans, and must have conducted many simulated preemption exercises.

A 100,000-ton cruise ship is a small city, more complex than a city on land, with thousands of cabins divided into several areas, and even the crew will get lost in this behemoth without the guidance of the map.

In order to complete the control of the entire ship in the shortest possible time, it is necessary to have rigorous planning and sufficient simulation exercises, and considering that more than 5,000 people will be plundered, it is necessary to shorten the process of this raid and have a coherent plan of action.

Rushing onto the ship with a gun in his hand and shouting a few robberies is what low-level pirates do, and low-level pirates have absolutely no control over a behemoth like the "Queen Berta" cruise ship. Why don't many pirates pick on the cruise ship, because there are so many people on the cruise ship!

There are no more than 30 crew members of a freighter ship of more than 100,000 tons, and a few pirates armed with automatic firearms are enough to control the entire ship. It is unimaginable to control thousands of people with such power, and even the most stupid pirates know that this is self-defeating.

The plundering of the "Queen Belta" by the West Pacific pirates can be called a classic case of piracy robbery.

First of all, they coerced the crew, waiters and other staff through the broadcast system and video system to organize all the tourists into several parts and gather them in designated locations, and then the armed men looted these people in small groups, and some mobile teams raided some of the cabins according to the information of the tourists they found.

Naturally, there are rich people who live in luxurious first class, and a large number of second class cabins are directly abandoned by them.

On the other hand, the cruise ship itself is also a treasure trove, with a pirate leader in charge of interrogating the captain and other managers to extract the most valuable items from the ship.

At first, of course, they encountered a situation of non-cooperation or delaying time, but as a result, those armed pirates did not hesitate to shoot and kill these people on the spot, and the bloody scene was in front of them, and no one dared to cooperate perfunctorily.

Life is more important than money.

The damage caused by organized and planned looting was so great that the remnants of the Western Pacific pirates did not even spare the gold ring on the little girl's ankle! These pirates, who have hundreds of years of experience in raiding, are too experienced to escape their eyes with anything of value.

Bags and bags of money, boxes and boxes of valuables, carried or carried by coerced crew members and young passengers, are generally carried to the deck and then slided down the slide to the pirate ship. In such a short period of time, they have organized such a thorough conveyance system, and it seems that they will not stop if they do not empty the valuable things of the "Queen Berta" cruise ship.

The captain noticed a danger signal, the pirates released all the lifeboats and life rafts on the cruise ship, and those suspended high-speed lifeboats were directly used by them, and a large number of life rafts were released and destroyed.

He protested, but was answered by bullets.

Strangely, this time around, the remnants of the West Pacific Pirates did not kill while looting as they had done before, and after more than an hour of looting, they did not kill anyone again, except in the face of resistance. This is very much in line with their raiding style. According to their estimates, the entire looting process would take three hours to maximize the value.

The "Queen Berta" cruise ship is so big that it is impossible for two thousand-ton pirate ships to eat all the passengers, crew and belongings on board, but the remnants of the West Pacific pirates, who have been exhausted and continue to make a comeback of hard currency, are absolutely unwilling to give up any copper plate that can be loaded on the ship.

So they made a plan to loot for three hours.

At this time, the distress signal of the "Queen Berta" cruise ship finally reached Li Zhan......
