Chapter 9: Who Are the Heroes?

Americans have always been upright in their dealings with terrorists and will not compromise on their principles. Because once you compromise with the terrorists, you can rescue the hostages and solve a crisis in a short time, but because of their compromise, the terrorists will see hope and be encouraged, so that they can launch more terrorist attacks to obtain greater benefits. At that time, the United States, which claims to be an international policeman, has always stretched out its hands long and wide in its pipes, so the United States, which has enemies all over the world, will inevitably kill every step of the way.

The man in front of him was caught by the U.S. Navy after robbing a Japanese cargo ship on the high seas, and he was able to come back alive after a three-month confrontation, just as Cabeline said, this is not only a protracted victory, but also an incredible miracle!

Shi Shaoying pondered, looking for all possible explanations for this miracle, "That Japanese cargo ship should be carrying a large amount of crude oil, or flammable and explosives, right?" ”

"That's right!"

Kabeline nodded vigorously, "That cargo ship is full of extremely explosive chemical raw material 'benzene', and if one bullet hits these chemical materials, the entire cargo ship will be sunk. Those Americans did not dare to send people to rush up and grab the ships, so they could only surround Yamur with warships and make them unable to move. ”

Shi Shaoying somewhat understood that the Somali pirates had more than once declared on public platforms that they were only robbing for money, that they did not have any political purpose and would not make any political demands. These pirates already have a strong armed force, but they ignore the olive branches handed over by the government army or the armed rebels of the Al-Shabaab and continue to run their own small world.

It may seem a bit unenterprising, but because of this, they are just a group of pirates in the eyes of governments around the world, a group of criminals who take risks for money! Countries around the world, including the United States, will never compromise with terrorists, but for the safety of the hostages, they can meet the requirements of criminals who are relatively less harmful and do not involve national security to a certain extent.

These pirates are really smart, they avoid the unacceptable backlash of the world's governments, and they don't get involved with the al-Qaeda terrorists when they are killed, which gives them room to negotiate and negotiate when they encounter the world's navies.

Until the last minute, these pirates will not easily raise their butcher knives, and the most they want is to do nothing in the process of robbery and ransom release. Moreover, Somali pirates are very "work ethic", as long as they collect a ransom that they are satisfied with, they will definitely release them, and they will not open their mouths again to carry out a second extortion. The good "qualities" they displayed won a pretty good reputation, so that more and more shipowners would rather pay for a ransom to end this long confrontation as soon as possible, rather than put their hopes on the rescue operation of the navy.

We will never have anything to do with politics, avoid risks as much as possible, reduce the possibility of provoking anger, including world powers, and maximize our interests on this basis...... This is the survival method adopted by Somali pirates, and it is also the most essential reason why the man in front of him can survive surrounded by American warships and special forces, and even return to Somalia alive!

As for the cargo ship full of chemical raw material "benzene", so that the US Navy SEALs or the Japanese Eagle special forces could not easily launch an attack, it was just a "geographical advantage" that unintentionally intervened in the willow on the premise of satisfying the above-mentioned "natural time".

"The Americans deliberately left a gap for them to escape in a speedboat, but Yamur withstood the pressure and confronted the Americans and the Japanese on the boat for three months!"

Kebeline showed pride on her face, "But Yamur they just didn't retreat, in three months they ate almost everything they could eat on the ship, and finally Yamur was ruthless and issued an ultimatum to the Japanese Navy through the radio, saying that if he persisted like this, he would no longer provide food to the crew on the ship, and if any of them starved to death, it would be the result of the surrounding navy!" Finally, the hard-line Japanese finally bowed their heads, negotiated and honestly paid a ransom of three million dollars, and watched as Yamur led the men away. Shi Shaoying, you say that Yamur is very capable, is he a hero?! ”

At this time, Cabeline's strength and toughness are gone, and she really looks like a little girl holding her favorite toy, eager to be recognized and praised by others. Looking at Yamur, who was so thin and his eyes were as firm as rocks, Shi Shaoying gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "You are awesome, admire!" ”

Yamur felt Shi Shaoying's kindness, he suddenly turned around and walked back to the car, took out a bundle of twig-like things from the cockpit, picked out the two leaves from it and sent them to Shi Shaoying.

"It's khat."

Kebeline immediately smiled and explained: "In Somalia only true friends share this kind of gift together, and it seems that Amur has a good impression of you, and is even willing to treat you as a good friend." ”

At this point, Cabeline herself plucked a few leaves from the branches and gave them to her own mouth to chew.

Shi Shaoying carefully looked at the "Arabic tea" that Yamur sent to him, as a professional soldier who is proficient in survival in the wild, Shi Shaoying has seen photos of this kind of thing in the plant atlas more than once. Although the annotations of these plants are too complicated, if you want to survive, Shi Shaoying must keep them all in mind.

Khat tea, also known as "kat" and "African salad", is a plant that grows in East Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, its stems and leaves contain natural amphetamines, and by chewing substances containing stimulant ingredients in the leaves, it will stimulate the central nervous system of the human body and make people addicted. It has now been classified by the World Health Organization as a type II soft drug, and long-term use can lead to mild to moderate dependence.

Many people think that Africans are too lazy, and that they are lazy to get by while facing the threat of famine, and that as long as they don't go hungry today, they don't care what tomorrow will look like. No matter which department is inefficient, a considerable number of government officials can even spend the money they can earn in a month in a week, as long as they do not embezzle. Part of the reason for this phenomenon is that a large number of adult men among them have been addicted to this soft drug for a long time and have lost their enthusiasm for work, study and life.

But a large number of Africans like to chew "khat", and there is another reason why people cry and laugh, chewing this game can curb hunger...... To some extent, this is also inextricably linked to the famine that has lasted for more than two decades in Africa.

The hungrier you chew, the more you chew, the lazier you are, and the lazier you are, the easier it is to starve...... Thinking of the relationship between this chain of soft drugs and the great famine in Africa, Shi Shaoying's face suddenly turned his head to look at Kai Belin, and asked seriously: "Are you sure that he is willing to invite me to chew this 'khat' because he already regards me as a good friend or even a brother?" ”

Kabeline affirmed, "Of course! You must know that in Somalia men will express their closeness to their friends in two ways: one is walking hand in hand on the street; The second is to invite friends to share khat. ”

Shi Shaoying nodded vigorously, strode towards the Humvee military jeep driven by Yamur, opened the door and swept around, several bastards poured wine into their throats like drinking tap water in the carriage, while chewing khat, Shi Shaoying unceremoniously stretched out his hand, and hugged several bundles of khattan tea in the carriage into his arms, and found a bottle of whiskey next to the door, and he swept away the bottle of high-strength spirits with his hand.

Seeing Shi Shaoying's near-robbery behavior, Yamur frowned slightly, but he quickly raised a smile and said to Kabelin: "Tell your friend that if he likes khat, I have a lot of it, enough for him to eat for a long, long time." ”

Before Kai Belin could translate, Shi Shaoying threw several bundles of Arabic tea in his arms to the ground, twisted the cap and poured the entire bottle of spirits onto the "tea leaves", and then magically showed a lighter from his hand and used it to directly ignite several bundles of tea leaves.

Watching the khats poured with high concentration of spirits burn rapidly in the flames, and listening to the series of "crackling horns" in the air, Yamur's face finally became uncontrollably gloomy. For a Somali man who has strong self-esteem and has extended a hand of friendship to the other party, Shi Shaoying's behavior is tantamount to a slap in the face in public, and it is the kind that beats him particularly hard!

The most unacceptable thing is that after Shi Shaoying did such a thing in public, he could still stretch out his right hand to Yamur, as if he wanted to shake hands with Yamur.

Yamur nodded slightly at Ke Belin with a blue face, and then didn't look at the hand that Shi Shaoying sent to him, and turned around and got into the car directly.

Watching the car rush all the way into the small city of Elle, and then looking at Shi Shaoying, who still maintained a twisted hand posture, Kai Berin really shook her head and sighed: "You just rejected the sincere friendship of a Somali man, and even made yourself the person he hates the most. I'm really surprised that with your style of doing things, you can survive in Somalia until now! ”

"Doesn't he want to be my best friend?"

Shi Shaoying played with the lighter in his hand and said casually: "Good friends and good brothers should treat each other with sincerity, I can't watch him take drugs without dissuading him, and even accompany him to make mistakes to deepen the relationship, right?" ”
