Chapter 231, Provocation

As soon as the gunshots rang out, the whole cruise ship was in chaos, and the passengers who could travel around on a luxury cruise ship were at least above the middle class, where had they seen such a scene, and the Taixi people were naturally terrified. Although there were a few heroic tourists who assisted the sailors in maintaining order, under the threat of bullets, there was still a steady mood among the tourists.

Some people even jumped into the sea in panic.

The resistance of the entire ship was weak, and most of the sailors were so entangled by the chaotic passengers that they could not make it to the armory where the guns were stored.

As more and more speedboats docked on cruise ships, the number of pirates jumping on cruise ships also increased rapidly.

In less than a while, at least hundreds of pirates rushed onto the cruise ship with weapons in hand, and they cooperated very skillfully, occupying and controlling the captain's room, the armory room, the broadcasting room, the engine room and other key positions.

If the cruise ship had been moving forward, with its huge body, those pirates would not have been able to fully control the overall situation for a while, but as soon as the cruise ship stopped, the pirate ships that had been waiting around for a long time with red eyes suddenly surrounded and sent more pirates onto the cruise ship.

As the gunfire continued, the sailors completely lost their resistance, and the pirates completely occupied the world's top three luxury cruise ships.

By night, the cruise ship was still in utter chaos, with pirates kicking and beating tourists, sailors and sailors to the guest rooms on the lower deck to keep watch, so many so many that the rooms that had only been occupied by two or three people were crammed with more than a dozen or even twenty people.

The pirates were able to manage the passengers and sailors, but the people who were stuffed into the rooms were uncomfortable, the air was cloudy, there was no water, etc., and the passengers were constantly crying, and in some rooms there were women's screams. The pirate is not Megumi Yanagishita.

The cruise ship is just too big. There's always something missing, and the pirates themselves are getting carried away by the chaos.

In addition, this sea raid was not a pirate operation. Instead, it was a group of pirates.

The pirates originally came for the money, and after taking the passengers' valuables, they were unfair in sharing the spoils. Soon a skirmish broke out.

The weakest pirate group was quickly wiped out, and the remaining pirates were of similar strength, and no one wanted to destroy anyone, and a stalemate was formed for a while.

Fortunately, a few pirate leaders were shrewd, and they understood that the most valuable thing on this ship was not the goods, but the people.

After a split of interests, the pirates quickly restored their previous peace, and then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Tessie received a blackmail call.

As soon as the news broke, the whole country was shocked. This is the largest pirate kidnapping case in modern times, hundreds of pirates kidnapped thousands of people in one go, and demanded a ransom of a total of 5 billion Taisi dollars to the kingdom of Taixi. And threatened. If you don't agree, you will bury more than 10 people at sea every day. Until Tessie agreed.

Most of the passengers on the luxury cruise ship were Tessie nationals, so it was only natural that the pirates would target Tessie.

In addition, the pirates also strapped high explosives all over the luxury cruise ship, and if the Tessie sent special forces, the pirates would blow up the ship and leave, and the Tessie would be responsible for all the consequences.

To tell the truth, of course, after learning the news, the president of Taixi was stunned and furious, and the little pirate actually blackmailed the head of Taixi.

What was the result when a certain small country threatened the Tessie country and threatened to make everyone a human bomb and swore to drive out the garrison of the Tessy country? In three days, it only took three days for a certain small country to completely fall, and the president and even a few cabinet members of that small country were all brought to the war crimes court.

No country or group dares to threaten the kingdom of Tessie!

His Excellency the President angrily thought that this time it was a group of pirates, and maybe next time it would be a certain country that would directly take action! It was necessary to maintain the majesty of Tessie, and it seemed that it had been so long since the last war that some people had forgotten the strength of Tessie!

Provocations must not be tolerated!

His Excellency the President is well aware of the crisis that this incident has entailed.

Although 5 billion Tessie dollars is an unimaginable amount of money for an individual, it is almost a drizzle for a powerful country like Tessie, and Tessie's military spending on garrisons in any country is more than this amount every year.

If you give in to the extortion of the pirates this time and pay this ransom, then there will be pirates who will offend the majesty of the Kingdom of Tessie next time, and the Kingdom of Tessie will lose face in the international community because of this, and the most important thing is that His Excellency the President has not yet received information about this group of pirates.

Is it the pirate's intention to make money, or is it the plot of other organizations?

If we use tough means to deal with it, and send elite special forces to deal with the pirates, if it succeeds, it is better to say, if it does not succeed and fails, and the pirates are angry and angry, and bomb the cruise ship and kill the hostages, then the domestic public opinion is enough to directly overturn His Excellency the President, and the remaining way out, in addition to resigning, I am afraid that they will also be threatened and attacked by the families of those hostages.

His Excellency quickly suppressed his anger and summoned members of his own dedicated think tank to negotiate how to resolve the sudden pirate kidnapping and ransom case.

However, during the negotiations, the members of the think tank quickly quarreled and divided into two factions, one group advised His Excellency the President to resolve the incident strongly, and the other group advised His Excellency the President to use money to settle the matter.

Well, whatever faction has good intentions, it has its own legitimate reasons.

But the problem is that His Excellency the President is hesitant about these two opinions, and if he does it right, he is a national hero and enjoys the support of the crowd, and if he is wrong, he is a national sinner and must endure the anger of the people.

Time passed little by little, and until late at night, His Excellency the President and the members of the think tank had not come up with a unified opinion, of course, whether it was money or tough, the two sets of plans had been prepared.

Five billion Thai dollars in cash and a crack special forces have been delivered to the nearest Mugans airbase to the luxury cruise ship, and as long as His Excellency the President makes up his mind, whether to pay the money or encircle and suppress, they can do so immediately.

Since they couldn't wait for a response from the Taixi government for the time being, several pirate leaders gathered to discuss and decided to give Taixi a little color to see, otherwise they would think that they were the masters who only talked and didn't do anything.

At the behest of the pirate leaders, ten passengers were selected, and they were brutally driven out of the room by the pirates, with their guns behind their backs, and driven to the deck.

"Oh, gentlemen, it makes me happy to see you for the first time. ”

A pirate leader, temporarily in charge, appeared triumphantly in front of the ten lambs to the slaughter.
