Chapter Ninety-Five: Puntland

Sitting on the sofa, the boss lit a cigar and gave me one but I refused, I took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it, and said lightly: "I'm used to smoking this!" ”

It seemed that only when he arrived here did the wealthy businessman boss feel safe, and at this time the whole person relaxed, with a smile on his face, and the previous tension disappeared.

"Can you tell me which pirate group hijacked your merchant ships?" There are thousands of Somali pirates, large and small, and the four most famous pirate groups are the National Coastal Volunteer Guardians, the Puntland Guards, the Merka, and the Somali Sailors.

Among them, the Somali sailors are the most powerful pirate group, with a range of up to 200 nautical miles, thousands of them, well-trained and well-equipped, and if the opponent is them, then plan well, otherwise they are likely to fall here.

"It's the Puntland Guard, they're the first pirate group, they're strong, are you sure?" The boss pinned his hopes on us, but because of my injury, he was always a little relieved.

"The Puntland Guard? That's a lot easier. I smiled faintly and said, "Do you know where the hijacked merchant ship is?" ”

"Yes, we have a positioning system on board." The boss took the laptop on the table and pulled up a satellite map, on which the flashing red dots were the location of the merchant ships.

I looked closely, and it was in a place called Gandara, which was the stronghold of the Puntland Guard, close to the coastline, and was once a fishing village, but now a port town.

Eight out of ten people there are pirates, and even if they are not, they are inextricably linked to pirates, either the pirates' parents, or the pirates' wives and children, all of whom are loyal supporters of this group of scum.

"Very good, we need the positioning coordinates of the merchant ship!" I handed the computer to the immortal bird next to me, and he took out our own military computer from his backpack, called up the satellite map, entered the coordinates, found out the exact location of the merchant ship, and then transmitted it to our electronic map.

"I also need a list of hostages!" I looked at the boss.

"No problem!" He nodded, and the beautiful female secretary came over with four cups of hot coffee on a tray.

She still has a professional smile on her face, and a tight professional outfit shows her perfect figure to the fullest.

She walked up to me and bent down slightly, her neckline slightly open to reveal her snow-white skin, her eyes rolled, her lips opened slightly, and she said softly, "Your coffee." ”

"Thank you!" I responded with a smile, I really admired this boss for being able to find such a superb mistress and secretary.

"Ahem!" When the boss saw that the secretary looked at me more, he immediately coughed lightly: "Go and print a copy of the hostage list and give it to Captain Shura." ”

"Yes, boss!" The female secretary hurriedly agreed, and when she left, she secretly glanced at me, and I was a little puzzled to see it, this woman shouldn't have taken a fancy to me!

The secretary was very efficient, and in less than three minutes, he ran back with a list and put it in front of me, and then walked over to the boss and stood there obediently.

I looked at the long list of names, there were fifty-eight people, one captain, two co-captains, twenty sailors, fifteen security personnel, and the rest were the company's employees in charge of trading.

"These security guards, are you your company's security guards?" I asked curiously.

If it's just an ordinary security guard, then forget it, if it's a mercenary trained by a security company like us, it means that there is a certain combat effectiveness, which is equivalent to a strange soldier for us, and it is a huge help for rescue operations.

"Not all, there are two veterans I paid for, in addition to going to sea with the ship, they also help the company train security personnel, they were responsible for the protection of merchant ships before, and they have also encountered pirates, but they were all repelled by them, but I didn't expect them to miss this time." The boss sighed, he often walks by the river, how can there be no wet shoes, and tigers also have time to nap, let alone people.

"Are they dead, then?" I'm more concerned about whether these two people can still fight.

"No, but they were wounded, held with hostages, and trapped on the ship!" The boss said with certainty.

"How do you know so well?" I asked curiously.

"The pirate sent me a video when he demanded a ransom!" The boss took the computer, tinkered with it a few times, and pulled up a video taken by a pirate.

The video shows that 58 hostages, including two mercenaries, were locked in the cabin, all of them were tied hand and foot, their mouths were sealed with duct tape, and the two soldiers in camouflage uniforms appeared to have been severely beaten and their faces were covered with blood.

In the video, a pirate in a headscarf holds a woman hostage to a stool, grabs her hair with his left hand, and holds a bright scimitar in his right hand, holding the back of the knife against her neck, and is talking to the video.

The content was roughly a ransom of $100 million, or else the woman's head would be cut off and mailed to the boss's home.

"You've been in contact with pirates?" I looked at the video and asked without raising my head.

"Yes, I came to negotiate with them personally, and the ransom demanded by the pirates was too high." The boss sighed.

"What about the outcome of the negotiations?" I asked again.

"The ransom remains the same, but I bought a week to raise money, and today is the fourth day." The boss seemed to remind me that time was running out.

"It's okay, there's enough time." I closed my computer and narrowed my eyes slightly, revealing a sneer.

Seeing my expression, the boss trembled unconsciously, and asked tentatively, "What are you going to do?" ”

"There is an old Chinese saying that if you come and don't be rude, they gave me a big gift, and I have to prepare a gift for them!" I touched my thigh, which was still aching, and my eyes were full of murderous intent.

When the boss saw me, he knew that this matter would not be good, and it might be a big problem.

"Captain Shura, we signed a contract, please be sure to ensure the safety of the hostages!" The boss reminded me that the meaning was obvious, and warned me not to take hostages for personal revenge.

"Of course, I think they'll be home soon." I picked up the coffee on the table, took a sip with my head up, and then stood up and walked out with the help of the phoenix.

When I walked to the door, I suddenly remembered something, turned around and said, "By the way, boss, there is still a long way to go from here to Gandala, lend me your car, we can't run to save people!" ”

"That's no problem, the keys are in the car, you can drive away at any time!" The boss said generously, without the slightest reluctance, which doubled our good feelings, after all, it was also a Land Rover worth millions.

Coming out of the boss's room, I gathered all my brothers together, although I was injured, I still have to participate in tonight's operation, after all, I am a sniper, it is no problem to find a place to hide and cover everyone, it is a big deal to find a place far away, 1,500 meters away, even if the enemy finds out, it will not be able to hit me.

I've been thinking about a plan of action all the way out of the hospital, and now it's about taking shape, and the retaliation against the Puntland Guard is tonight, and if you dare to challenge the dignity of the Avengers, you must be prepared to suffer destruction
