0070 Theft at sea

&

In the end, after tossing for most of the night, Liu Yan finally collected some cars, but the number could not pull all the hostages to the dock at one time, because the previous battle had greatly damaged this pirate base, and most of the vehicles and equipment were destroyed by Lin Hai's troops.

And the only good news is that there is a 10,000-ton cruise ship called "Drexter" on the pier, which is the boat that Anya and Shu Yang sat on. In this way, it is nothing more than using a car to pull two more people.

By the next morning, all the robbers had been pulled to the dock. Among the more than 200 people who were robbed, not all of them were tourists from country Z, and more than 40 of them were actually crew members on board. It's good now, even the man who drives the boat is there.

Originally, Lin Hai and Liu Yan wanted the boat to go back by themselves, but Chen Xi said what if they were robbed by other pirates on the road, which made the two of them feel at ease.

They had to wait for two days to get on the boat, and only after Hassan sent someone to drive the tanks and missiles away and handed over the payment, they took their troops on board and prepared to escort the more than 200 people all the way to a safe place.

Unbeknownst to them, the hijacking of the USS Dresster had caused a huge stir around the world. Since the United Nations cracked down on Somali pirates at the end of 2008, piracy cases in the entire Gulf of Aden have improved considerably, and a large number of pirate groups have been wiped out, and the security situation in the entire Gulf of Aden has suddenly improved significantly.

It was only at this time that a cruise ship carrying nearly 200 tourists and more than 40 crew members was suddenly hijacked by pirates off the coast of Mozambiam, which shocked the international community, which had thought that the threat of piracy had diminished. Especially after knowing that the nearly 200 tourists are citizens of country Z, one of the five major countries, it has attracted the attention of various countries. And the two destroyers of country Z, which were originally carrying out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, also turned to Somali waters. Not only the Z** ship, but also the navies of various countries escorting ships in this area have sent warships to the waters of Somalia to assist in rescue operations.

After the pirates drove the hijacked cruise ship back to Somalia, they also quickly demanded a ransom of 500 million m gold to country Z. On the day when Lin Hai led his troops to attack the pirate base, the pirates and country Z were negotiating.

But no one could have imagined that when the eyes of the whole world were still focused on negotiations, two young people who did not know the height of the sky had already rescued people.

Although the pirates of Obia knew that the hostages had been rescued by a group of unknown armed men, others did not know, so they pretended to be hostages and were still in their hands, and still negotiated with the representatives of country Z, hoping to get a large amount of money from country Z to make up for the loss of the base.

On the other side, not long after the "Dresster" went to sea, Lin Hai and Liu Yan were watching the scenery at the bow of the ship, of course, in order to avoid being recognized, they were still wearing helmets.

& Sir, I think you'd better come over here. Chen Xi walked over from the cabin.

& What's up? ”

& From the moment we set off, there were boats following us. Chen Xi pointed to the stern of the boat.

Lin Hai and Liu Yan looked at each other stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly ran to the stern.

Sure enough, they saw a small boat that looked like a fishing boat about a nautical mile from the "Drexter".

Lin Hai thought for a moment and asked Chen Xi, "Can you be sure that they are following us?" Could it have been a fishing boat in the first place? ”

Chen Xi shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, I can only say that it is the most likely." ”

Liu Yan also said: "Then this is troublesome, we can't intercept the ship for inspection, right?" Or do you not distinguish between indiscriminate and give it all at once? ”

&Possibly," said Lin Hai, waving his hand, "if this ship is really here to follow us, then we will have to find out who sent it, and it is clear that this ship is only being watched, not the owner." Even if we intercept it or sink it, maybe another ship will follow or someone will come in a moment. ”

Liu Yan spread his hands and said helplessly: "No matter what, we have to be careful." ”

Lin Hai finally said to Chen Xi: "That's right, this ship is a pleasure boat, and it can't be beaten without fighting, although the tank can't be placed on the boat, but we still have a whole company of soldiers!" ”

& White," Chen Xi nodded, "I'll tell the soldiers to go to the firing point on the ship right away." ”

Liu Yan hurriedly added: "Also, inform those passengers to stay in the cabin and not go out casually." ”

Lin Hai and the others are a group of people who don't have much social experience, and as soon as they were put on guard, all the soldiers rushed out of the cabin with their weapons murderously, which made the passengers who were still glad that they had escaped frightened, and thought that this group of mercenaries was going to do something to them. As a result, the mercenaries, armed to the teeth, ran past them, most of them on the deck, and some of them even rushed to the roof of the ship.

Before the passengers could react, a bearded mercenary ran to the cab and shouted loudly over the radio: "Attention everyone, please go back to your room immediately!" The ship may be being targeted by other pirates again! So let's be prepared to deal with them! Don't come out when you go back to the cabin, we'll let you know when it's safe! ”

As soon as I heard this broadcast, the atmosphere in the cabin, which was already relatively tense, became even more serious. All the passengers were a little flustered, and many of them were running around like headless flies.

When Lin Hai and Liu Yan walked into the cabin, they happened to see this scene. The two of them were surprised. Lin Hai simply grabbed a passenger and asked, "What's wrong with you, what are you running around?" ”

& The thief is here again! ”

&Didn't come! Just in case! Go back to your room and wait! Lin Hai pushed the person angrily, and walked quickly to the cab with Liu Yan.

&What did Takeshi say? Doesn't that make people panic even more? Lin Hai said to Liu Yan as he walked.

& way, Zhao Wu is not wrong, but this effect...... It's impossible to get him to change it again, we can only let the passengers into the room, and then we send people to watch them, and when we get to the territory of other countries or meet the peacekeeping forces, it's none of our business to hand them over again. ”

& is that we will also be noticed. ”

& can only be done at the national border. ”

As the two were talking, they saw two soldiers from the elite infantry squad, one sniper and one heavy fireman, running up the stairs briskly in front of them.

& What's up? Are you going to go out even now? Lin Hai hurriedly stopped them and asked.

& Lieutenant, we were ordered to go up to the lookout to keep an eye on us. ”

>> Remember, don't fire without an order. Also, call some people into the cabin to maintain order. ”

In the end, on the entire ship, more than 100 soldiers except for 20 people who entered the cabin to maintain the order of the passengers, all the other personnel went outside and surrounded the ship.

And when the soldiers came out, the fishing boat that had been following them quickly turned around.

& Did that scare them away? Looking at the fishing boats that were going farther and farther, Lin Hai asked Liu Yan.

&If only that's it. Liu Yan said calmly, "It's more likely to go back and call the big troops." ”

>> You crow's mouth. Lin Hai scolded with a smile.

Probably Liu Yan really had some kind of talent, and an hour later, nearly 30 speedboats appeared on the sea near the "Drexter......

> Yan, you're really a crow's mouth! ”

More than thirty speedboats, all of which were pirate ships, soon surrounded the "Drexter".

Through the telescopic magnification function on the helmet, Lin Hai clearly saw that on those speedboats of all sizes, there were more than ten people, and as few as four or five people, all of whom had weapons, and many of them also had weapons such as bazookas. This made Lin Hai a little worried. A pleasure ship is no better than a warship, and if it is hit by a weapon such as a rocket, the damage will be very serious.

Lin Hai had to give the order to the troops to open fire as soon as any pirate dared to approach the distance of five hundred meters from the "Dryxter". On the other hand, he also ordered the crew to go at full speed and go to Kenyan waters as fast as possible.

At the same time, without Lin Hai's knowledge before they started, the crew of the "Drexter" also sent out an all-channel distress signal. Although Lin Hai and the others later discovered this situation, the ship had already received a reply to the distress signal, and the reply was from an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer "Mahan" of country M.

& We're going to be in trouble. Looking at Lin Hai, Liu Yan said.

&What to do? We can't meet with these countries right now! The group of foreigners they met in Xiangjiang last time and the submarine they encountered when they escaped were from country M. Lin Hai punched the guardrail and said with some excitement, "So it's likely that the people of country M have already targeted us!" If they see us here again, then we will probably have to fight the world's number one military power! ”

& Not that way. Liu Yan patted Lin Hai and asked him to calm down, "Although Chen Xi and the people they met in Xiangjiang may be from country M, but here, it is not necessarily people from country M who are eyeing us." Escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden is something that many countries are doing, and don't our countries also have warships here? ”

>> Leave it at that. Lin Hai calmed down a little, he waved his hand, and motioned to change the topic, "What should we do now?" The most important point is that we definitely can't meet with the people of country M. ”

> Let's go ashore. Liu Yan pointed to the coastline and said, "We originally walked along the seaside, but now it won't take much time to get ashore." ”

& How do we make it clear to our passengers? Could it be that we want to hide from the M people? They managed to get out of the pirate den, and now they have to go ashore again, and now that we're in Somalia, and haven't even crossed Mogadishu, they're going to make a fuss, so why should we suppress them again? ”

&Lin, it's not as complicated as you think. Liu Yan said quietly, "We just need to tell them that the pirates really came from the sea, and we can't do anything at sea, so we can only lure the pirates to the land to protect them." Naturally, they don't make a fuss. ”

Lin Hai was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Yan fixedly, and said, "Are you sure?" ”

&Yes. ”
