Chapter XVII: Robbery of Cargo Ships
Now the size of the Blue Shark Pirate Group is very small, but more than ten years ago, at the peak of the number of Blue Sharks, there were four or five hundred people, which can be regarded as one of the largest pirate groups in Indonesian waters.
But in recent years, the world's anti-piracy call has become higher and higher, and the entire piracy community has been hit by a huge blow.
Don't look at Duke now, he was a ruthless character back then, and the merchant ships that appeared in Indonesian waters at that time, as long as they heard Duke's name, they would be frightened, and even change their course to avoid the blue shark.
Time back to the present, the blue shark has not won any business for several months, and now the crew has nothing to do all day long, not that there are no merchant ships passing by, but the merchant ships that pass by are basically protected by international escort formations, and their small boats have not yet approached the merchant ships, they will be sunk by the escort formations of the perimeter protection, who will do the death?
So to put it mildly, they're members of the Blue Shark Pirate Band, and to put it mildly, they're a bunch of fishermen with guns, who go out to sea every day to patrol whether there are any lone boats, and catch some fish to make a living.
When Jiang Lin was on the island, he had already judged that this group of pirates was already very poor by the guns they had picked up.
After lunch, Jiang Lin finally realized that life at sea was leisurely, when there was nothing to do, it was simply an idle egg pain, one afternoon, Jiang Lin slept and slept, if it weren't for a watch, Jiang Lin probably couldn't even tell the difference between morning and night.
What's worse is that he still sleeps at night, there is no light on the boat, he can hardly do anything, in the dark, Jiang Lin lies on the bed with his eyes open, with the shaking of the hull, thinking about life, what is the meaning of this life of starvation but nothing to do? What he wanted was a sense of crisis on the battlefield, and even Jiang Lin had already come up with the idea of leaving, but Jiang Lin could clearly feel that this group of people had no ill will towards him, and were even very friendly, which made Jiang Lin a little embarrassed.
"Eh, let's take one step at a time!"
Sighing secretly, Jiang Lin turned over and lay on his side, closing the closing to recuperate and wait for dawn.
Early the next morning, several rapid whistles broke the calm of the coast, and Jiang Lin, who didn't know when he was asleep, was awakened, and heard Steve and the others reloading the magazine with bullets while beckoning to themselves: "There's a mission, hurry up and pack your equipment, you're about to go!" ”
After Derek's explanation, Jiang Lin understood that the short whistle of the ship and the five sounds of the whistle represented a mission in the pirate world, and the mission in the mouth of the pirate refers to the discovery of a target that can be hijacked or robbed.
In the past, it was Jiang Lin's duty to fight violence and terrorism, but now he actually wants to participate in the crime, and the exchange of identities makes Jiang Lin's nerves gradually excited.
Dozens of pirates greeted each other, Jiang Lin and Derek ran off the ship and boarded the speedboat docked next to them.
Sailing all the way, Derek's explanation of himself completely subverted Jiang Lin's perception of pirates.
Before this, in Jiang Lin's mind, the impression of pirates was to burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil.
In practice, however, pirates generally only rob ships, at most take hostages, and release them as long as they pay a ransom, while in the process of robbing ships, as long as the crew of the robbed ship does not resist, pirates generally do not kill.
And the biggest difference between pirates and mercenaries is that no matter how much money the pirates make, the money is distributed according to shares.
The mercenary group is different, the mercenary receives a fixed honorarium and serves the head of the mercenary group, which means that the mercenary is a gratuity, while the pirate is more like a team.
After listening to the explanation, Jiang Lin was faintly touched in his heart, it turned out that pirates were not so heinous as the legend, so he killed eleven pirates the day before yesterday, isn't it a bit too much?
However, Jiang Lin thought about it, he was just to protect himself, which was understandable, and then he immediately packed up his guilty mood and prepared to experience the life of a pirate.
This time, the Blue Shark pirate group was all dispatched, and the seven speedboats were in a "V" shape, each with a distance of 300 meters, and after two hours of galloping, they finally arrived at the destination area.
Immediately afterward, the lead pirate ship honked twice, informing everyone that the fleet had arrived at the designated position.
Sitting on the side of the ship, Jiang Lin saw from a distance that a medium-sized cargo ship was moving slowly on the sea in the distance, and there were still puffs of black smoke coming from the chimney.
Because it was early in the morning, the people on the freighter didn't notice the Blue Shark pirates approaching like wolves.
Closer, Jiang Lin could clearly see the ship's port, as well as the flags of the new home and Po on the bow.
Having not succeeded in any business for several months, the Blue Shark pirates were extremely cautious in the face of this vote, and the two outermost speedboats on both sides of the flotilla broke away from the fleet, and accelerated their delivery, bypassing a few kilometers from the front and rear sides of the freighter, and they wanted to thoroughly find out whether the freighter had the protection of the escort formation.
Ten minutes later, the two speedboats completed their reconnaissance and found no trace of the international escort formation, and then returned to the sea, following the freighter all the way, and at this time, the other five speedboats of the blue shark had already pounced on the side.
At a distance of two kilometers, the crew of the freighter finally found that the freighter had been targeted by the pirate ship, and for a while, the freighter sounded round after round of alarms, and the freighter also accelerated its sailing speed at this time, trying to throw off several speedboats.
The speedboats used by the Blue Shark Pirates are characterized by their speed, so at the speed of a freighter, they will never be able to escape the tracking of the Blue Shark.
"Oooh! Oooooooo ”
"Bang bang bang, bang!"
A few hundred meters away from the freighter, the Blue Shark Pirate fleet suddenly dispersed and circled the freighter quickly, and the Blue Shark members stood on the speedboat, firing into the sky to signal the freighter crew not to resist, and finally let out a cheering sound.
But this freighter is like eating the gall of a leopard, not only does not stop, but also sps up.
The warning shot was ineffective, the two speedboats suddenly increased their speed, drove the speedboat to the hull of the freighter, and each two pirates, under the guard cover of the rest of the partners, took out the hooked cable on all sides and threw it at the side of the freighter, once or twice, after several consecutive throws, the cable was finally fixed on the side of the freighter, and then the two pirates climbed onto the freighter along the cable.
Later, under the cover of the pirates who had already boarded the freighter, only one crew member was left on the speedboat to drive the speedboat, and the rest of the pirates also climbed up the rope.
To rob a medium-sized cargo ship, it only takes a dozen pirates to board the ship, so other speedboats are responsible for guarding around the freighter, if the international escort formation is close, then the members of the freighter can be notified as soon as possible, and then evacuate quickly, to avoid encounters with the international escort formation to the greatest extent.
