Chapter 278: Behind Enemy Lines

After getting on the boat, a guy who was presumably a small boss asked in English, "Who is the captain?" ”

The captain named Marcus immediately replied with sincere fear, "I am the captain, please don't hurt us." ”

The pirate glanced at Marcus and nodded, and asked, "Who raised the white flag just now?" ”

Li Qingcang also pretended to be frightened and said: "It's the white flag I raised, we promise not to resist, please don't hurt us!" ”

The pirate nodded with satisfaction, took a square step on the deck in shame, and said: "Don't be afraid, our 'Somali Navy' is the most trustworthy, as long as you obediently cooperate with us, do not resist, do not make trouble, do not escape, we will not harm you, and when your boss pays the fine, we will release you, understand?" ”

Li Qingcang asked in a low voice, "Mr. Pirate, what if our boss doesn't pay the fine?" ”

The pirate's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily: "Don't call me a pirate, I am the major marshal of the First Fleet of the Somali Navy, you idiot!" If you enter our territorial waters without the consent of our navy, we will detain your ships and restrict your freedom of life, and impose heavy fines. If your boss doesn't pay the ransom, we'll negotiate with your home country and your home country pay the fine.

"But then you're going to have to stay here a little longer, and now you'd better beg your boss to be a generous man, so that you can get back to your family and friends sooner."

Li Qingcang hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes, young marshal, I know!" ”

Then the pirate waved his hand, and several of his pirates immediately raised their guns and drove all the twenty or so sailors on board to the ship's dining room to guard them.

He led someone to roughly inspect the cargo ship, and when he found that there were no other people, he called another pirate from the speedboat to come up.

Then he rushed into the bridge control room, and began to make his way to the lair under his control.

Li Qingcang saw that everything was going according to the original plan, and the sailors on the ship were really not harmed, so he whispered to appease everyone's emotions, telling everyone not to worry, the meaning of this is half-true, in the eyes of the pirates guarding them, it feels normal, after all, if they are still elated after being hijacked by pirates, it will not be like words, and fools will also feel that there are ghosts.

Therefore, this group of bold sailors also pretended to have a sad expression, and sat at the dining room table silently.

It seems that they are worried about their upcoming internment career, but in fact they are all waiting to see how these pirates will die.

Without further ado, a few hours later, the Pioneer was driven back to the port of Eyre Town under their control by the pirates, and the docks on the shore were full of people, from pirates with AKs to fishermen with various fishing tools, men, women, and children, but everyone had a happy look on their faces, shouting the names of the pirates on board, celebrating another good harvest.

The pirates who hijacked the ship stood triumphantly at the bow of the ship to receive the cheers of the people, as if the hero had triumphed over the enemy.

When they got to the shore, the pirates asked the captain what cargo was on board, and the captain said that it was a sedan and clothing, which were more valuable goods.

The guy who claimed to be a young marshal immediately took a few of his subordinates to pry open a few peripheral containers, looked at the French logo cars fixed in the containers, and boxes of clothes, and nodded with satisfaction, this is a fat sheep, and he can ask for at least $3 million in ransom.

The containers were locked back with locks, and the sailors on board the ship were escorted down from the Pioneer to the docks.

These pirates generally follow the rules that the cargo of the hijacked merchant ship will not be moved, and it will be guarded by special personnel.

Originally, an ambitious guy like Afudi should not be so short-sighted, even if he saw something of great value, he should return it to the owner, and the end of greed was to provoke the bloodthirsty murderers of Iron and Blood to end his life.

This is also the question raised by many team members when Iron Will is discussing the battle plan, but there is so much information in hand at present, and the specific reason will not be clarified until Afudi is caught.

When they arrived at the pier, the crowd cheered even more, but fortunately, no one harassed the captured crew members, and they did not even tie their hands, so they were put on a dilapidated bus and driven to the place where they were holding hostages.

After driving for about an hour, the car came to a large stone courtyard with several small two-story stone buildings, which looked to be in good condition, probably built by the pirates to hold these hostages.

There were two black men with AK47s at the gate of the courtyard with guns, and after the car entered the compound, several pirates came up and took everyone down to search their bodies.

However, these pirates did not take away the valuable things on everyone, but only confiscated the satellite phones, mobile phones and some keychains, and the sailor knives they carried with them, and also made a decent receipt to ensure that these people would be returned when they were released.

Li Qingcang saw this scene, and his heart had even more questions, looking at these pirates in this way, there are some rules, as long as the ransom is paid, the hostage's private property is not touched, so why did Afudi shoot the captain who came to ransom with the ransom after getting those few cultural relics, and continue to ask for double the ransom without paying attention to the reputation?

It seems that this matter is not necessarily as simple as Mrs. Garbo said, there must be some inside story. But now that you're here, let's go ahead and kill as planned!

In addition to a huge gold chain and bracelet (fake), Li Qingcang was a modified watch that could receive and send text messages, and the captain was afraid that these pirates would confiscate these valuable things, so he asked the black warrior to mix in the sailors, first: because he had a pulse transmitter on his body, and he could be found wherever he went.

Second: His hand-to-hand combat is the first in iron and blood, and Li Qingcang is also a terrifying killing machine in his bare hands. So this mission to go deep behind enemy lines is none other than his.

In addition to a few gun-wielding guards in the guard room at the gate, there is also a cylindrical sentry box made of stone, on which there is also a high-powered searchlight, and a pirate is holding an AK47 to monitor the movement of the entire courtyard.

The average age of the pirates guarding is over 40 years old, and there are currently seven guards in the courtyard, which is the first-hand situation that Li Qingcang observed after entering the compound.

After the search, the pirate leader who sent them asked Captain Marcus to call the owner of the shipping company and tell him that he had been kidnapped by the Somali Navy, and then he was asked to hang up.

Naturally, the professional negotiators went to negotiate with the shipowner, and then the pirates who had kidnapped them drove away.

Immediately afterwards, a leader of the guards who seemed to be here began to announce the rules here: First: don't think about running away here, as long as you escape and are discovered, it will be a punishment, and you will be shot on the spot.

Second: In order to facilitate management and reduce all kinds of fights and other violent acts caused by various negative factors caused by the loss of freedom between hostages, the crew of each ship lives together and is not confused and imprisoned. It is strictly forbidden to fight, and those who violate the rules are locked in a small black room.

Thirdly, there is a two-hour wind time in the morning and afternoon every day, and you can move freely in the hospital.

Fourth: As long as you have money, you can buy non-staple foods and daily necessities other than alcohol.

When Li Qingcang heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, if the detained hostages were allowed to move freely in the courtyard, then he would soon be able to find the sailors on the "Migratory Birds", and when the time came, he would be able to communicate with them and start his actions at night.

After announcing the prison rules, the pirates took Li Qingcang and his group to a building, opened the doors of three rooms in succession, and drove them in.

Then locked, turned around and left, Li Qingcang observed the environment of the cell, four double beds on the upper and lower levels, there are bedding on the bed, and a flush toilet in the corner, it seems that this Afudi is quite thoughtful about these hostages, and the conditions are basically the same as in the prison.

After the observation, he began to use his watch to send his coordinates to the captain, as well as the number of prison guards and the structure of the building.

The captain replied to the message, acted according to the original plan, and must come to the rescue at three o'clock in the morning.

After all this, I began to wait patiently for the afternoon to relax. The other sailors were also brave and ruthless murderers, although they were imprisoned in the pirate prison with Li Qingcang, but they were all very excited at the thought of the reward of 10,000 US dollars each and the upcoming killing operation.

It didn't take long for the time to release the wind, the pirates opened the cell door one by one, and the sailors who were imprisoned inside came out one after another, and when Li Qingcang and them went out, the sailors who had been imprisoned for several months came up to greet these new arrivals, and by the way, they inquired about the news from the outside world.

Li Qingcang raised his eyes and swept it, there were probably more than 100 people detained in this courtyard, and according to the configuration of more than 20 people in a boat, there were at least five ships in Afudi's hands waiting for ransom.

At a glance in the crowd, the faces in the photo appeared in front of him, Li Qingcang hurriedly walked to the side of one of the second officers named Schroeder, and asked in a low voice: "Are you the second officer of Schroeder on the Migratory Bird?" ”

Schroeder was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically with a little surprise: "Yes, how did you know me?" ”

Li Qingcang replied: "Don't show any expression on your face now, listen to what I say." I'm a mercenary, I've been commissioned to rescue you, the big force is behind, and the action will start at three o'clock tonight, wait for you to quietly tell your crew the news, and be careful not to let them behave unusually. ”

When Schroeder heard this, he still couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and said in a low voice: "Thank God, someone finally came to save us, what's your name?" Young man. ”

Li Qingcang replied: "You can call me Black Warrior, where is your first mate Hans?" How I didn't see him. ”
