Chapter 303: A New Raiding Mode
Osaba and the Ethiopians are actually innocent, but for the sake of his own performance, he can only try to pry these guys to teach the Ethiopians next door a good lesson.
In order to better stimulate these people, he also deliberately took out a lot of good things for the young Somali who had just got money, giving women's perfume and men's suits, although these things are not rare goods in Somalia, but the price is not affordable for ordinary people.
But the young people who have money don't care whether it's expensive or not, and they directly start to buy and buy big, and they don't have much money to extort, and they are soon squeezed out by Osaba.
If you don't have money, you can't drink good French wine, you can't eat sliced ham, and you can't use perfume to coax the little girl to throw herself into her arms.
How can you endure this kind of hard life?
So they went out to sea again and drifted at sea for more than a week, and when Osaba even thought that the guys were dead at sea, the fishing boat slowly entered the harbor in the setting sun, and dragged another fishing boat behind it.
The daring Somalis raided an unsuspecting Ethiopian fishing boat in the middle of the night, and these guys didn't even have weapons, so they relied on sticks and wrenches to tie up eight crew members of the Ethiopian fishing boat, and even seized an old bolt-action rifle and a dozen rounds of ammunition.
However, this time it was not so lucky, and their ransom demands for the Ethiopians were sent out for more than a week, but there was no reply, and they did not even know if the message had been delivered.
The Somalis wanted to kill people, but they were stopped by Osaba.
He told the Somalis to tell the difference between a full meal and a full meal, and the latter was now convinced of the well-informed Osaba, after all, everyone had recently learned a lot from this kind uncle, and he could even teach how to fight.
As a result, the kidnapped Ethiopians were sent to each other's shores, while their fishing boats were sold by Somalis.
And this time they received not Somali shillings, but green dollars, which made everyone cheer, and everyone had already seen that the day of their financial freedom was approaching.
Then you have to hurry!
So for the next period of time, this group of Somalis went around, if nothing else, to rob fishing boats, they would approach those distant-water fishing boats that were fishing in the middle of the night, and then launch a surprise attack, in order to increase the success rate of the raid, the Somalis have begun to spontaneously arm themselves, and if there is no place to buy guns, then carry sticks and machetes.
In less than a month, he bought three fishing boats of different old and new ones.
In order to push again, Osaba simply paid people to hire people to take down these fishing boats directly, and then, after getting the cash, a group of budding pirates began to spend money again.
People are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and a group of poor ghosts who couldn't even afford to eat chaff suddenly became extremely generous, and raising their hands to be dollars will naturally attract the attention of many people, and this is what Osaba wants.
He released the news that there were such fast-paying jobs on Somalia's No. 1 coastline in Africa, and then there were a lot of imitators.
Of course, although this large number of imitators seems to be many, the total number is still pitiful, and their initial target was only fishing boats, and the other governments that were attacked were lazy.
Seeing that the progress was almost complete, Osaba immediately began the next step, his grocery store has been expanded and turned into a multi-purpose center, not only a supermarket, but also a bar and a casino.
Seeing that the Somalis in the community were already adept at marauding fishing boats, Osaba began to boast about the European freighters.
"Did you know that an oil tanker can sell for millions or even tens of millions of dollars when it is fully loaded with oil?"
"Those container ships, each cargo they carry, the owner needs to spend a huge amount of money to buy insurance!"
"And the crews of those Western countries, every one of them
Everyone in the city is very rich, and a sailor's salary alone is worth a year's income for your family!"
These gossips, combined with the onslaught of information from other developed countries, naturally make the hearts of newcomer pirates who feel that they have found a way to make a fortune.
But most of these pirates who were fishermen, although they hadn't read much, understood the difference between large freighters and small sampans, not to mention the speed of both, but they couldn't control the big ships even if they didn't have any of them.
So the almighty Mr. Osaba stepped forward again, and as an omnipotent grocer, there was nothing wrong with him getting his hands on some AK47 rifles, or other weapons.
And in the face of the enrichment weapons that Osaba put out, the pirates could only covet them, because Osaba had no intention of selling them at all, and he turned the weapons that Shepard sent him into rental goods. ap.
"Only truly brave warriors are eligible to use it, and I won't sell it, this thing is considered to be my participation, I shoot, you contribute, and the ransom you get, just share my share!"
This is also what Shepard gave to Osaba, because in later generations, when Somali pirates were most prevalent, this is how the pirates gathered manpower and equipment, you out of AK, I out of RPG, and then another out of the ship, after the big guy got all the equipment, he went to sea to do a vote, and when he got the money, he shared it according to the proportion of capital contribution.
Even because of the heavy losses of young people in the civil war over the years, many Somali women who financed the robbery team took out the weapons of their husbands, brothers or fathers as collateral in exchange for funds for the family's expenses.
The last time this trick became popular was around the turn of the millennium, but now, Shepard has advanced it by 20 years, and while it is far less in scale and participation than later generations, such a novel argument does teach Somalis a good lesson.
Soon, the Somalis began their own royal journey, inspired by the dream of One Piece, many fishing boats with their own guns or guns like Osaba went out, and then began to cruise in the Gulf of Aden in search of targets.
And this time, they really got it!
A team of more than 30 pirates successfully intercepted a Korean cargo ship bound for Germany, completing the first kill of their One Piece journey.
