Chapter 538: Focus

on the frigate.

Through the radar, this pirate's sea ship has long been locked.

As a missile frigate, the selected technology is constantly equipped on the frigate, and in fact, the current frigate has long been capable of long-range attack on enemy ships.

Like now, the radar has locked on this corsair, and through more accurate tracking by satellites, it only needs to launch anti-ship missiles to sink this pirate ship nearly 100 nautical miles.

But......

The captain of the frigate, but did not fire rashly.

The pirates moved so quickly that they began to evacuate in such a short period of time. The Zhongtian-Beikun, on the other hand, is stationary. After several calls, there was no response, and there was only one result, and that was the crew of the ship, who were hijacked.

With hostages on board, it is naturally impossible to open fire.

Another meaning is that the pirates can't really be killed, otherwise their purpose of escorting will not be achieved. This kind of rotation of escorts is, first, to take care of the emotions of soldiers who have been away for a long time, and second, to conduct large-scale military training.

The Chinese Navy lacks real experience, so it can only gain experience in this way.

If the pirates are killed, how can they have an excuse to stay here?

"Confirm their location, track them."

This order was given, and in fact the captain knew that it was just to comfort himself. The speed of this pirate ship is too fast for the frigate to match, and it is impossible to pursue it.

Sure enough, as the pirate ship approached the sea, it soon took advantage of the mountains and mountains, and then disappeared from the radar.

In other words, they lost the ship.

United Nations Meetings.

This international organization of 193 countries is mainly dedicated to promoting cooperation among countries in the areas of international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights and the realization of world peace.

As now, there is a conference on international security.

The number of representatives of the countries present reached 102.

At this time, a man in a suit in his early fifties stood up, and after connecting the microphone, he said loudly: "I am Dalle, the representative of the United Nations in Somalia, and I am now protesting to Huaxia against the long-term harm they have caused to the Gulf of Aden and Somalia in the name of piracy and through escorts." ”

This protest naturally attracted a lot of discussion.

As a representative of Huaxia, Xu Yuansi frowned, but he has not yet been discussed, so he can only let this Dale play.

Following the procedure, Dalle began to write: "Somalia has been seeking peace, but there are too many people who do not want peace in Somalia. The Gulf of Aden is a huge source of finance for Somalia, and China's approach has clearly harmed the interests of the Somali people. ”

"Somalia does not deny that there are pirates, but pirates have long disappeared, and there has not been a case of pirates attacking merchant ships in the past few years, so on behalf of Somalia, I believe that the Chinese Navy should remove this kind of behavior that harms the interests of Somalia and withdraw the escort group."

Dahler kept putting the data on the table, and attributed Somalia's economy to the fact that it had not recovered in recent years, but also attributed it to the Chinese escort formation, which had declined.

Xu Yuansi was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he sneered.

Somali pirates who did not know that they had succumbed in front of the powerful Chinese navy and did not dare to appear again. But if they don't appear, it doesn't mean that they disappear, but they hide in a corner, waiting for an opportunity.

Not only Somali pirates, but also some countries such as Europe and the United States, they do not want the Chinese Navy to accumulate more experience, so they use the strategy, so that the Chinese Navy has no excuse to stay in the Gulf of Aden for large-scale military training.

This kind of thing is naturally a one-shot shot.

Somali pirates need income, and people in places like Pirate Harbor need pirates to have money to spend and drive their income. I haven't been out to sea for so long, everyone's pockets are dry, and life is getting harder and harder.

It can be said that Somali pirates have formed an industrial chain.

Now in this industrial chain, the most upstream ransom source is cut off, and the downstream people naturally have nothing to eat.

Since it is an industry, there are naturally too many people attached to it, and now that the cheese is passive, how can it be unbearable?

The cooperation of several parties can be said to be a hit and it is. If Somalia stands up to protest, then it can enter the bill, and a large number of countries will come forward to agree to this bill, as long as it is passed, China must withdraw from the escort formation.

This is a conspiracy, everything is put on the surface, but it makes you feel powerless.

As Dalle sat down, Xu Yuansi stood up and said: "I am Xu Yuansi, the representative of Huaxia, and I think it is inappropriate for me to send warships to protect the security of the Gulf of Aden and protect my country's ships from the threat of pirates......

The main point of contention between the two sides is actually whether there are pirates in Somalia.

As more and more countries echo it, the secret efforts of Europe and the United States have naturally become unfavorable to China.

Xu Yuansi was a little anxious, he didn't expect Somalia to take the lead and caught himself off guard. Everyone knows that pirates exist, but in the past few years, the other party has not moved, who can say that there are still pirates?

Since the focus is on pirates, whether there are pirates or not is related to the question of whether the Chinese escort formation can still operate in the Gulf of Aden.

With a smile on his face, Dalle worked together, and now the initiative was in his hands. Somali pirates are already an industry, how could he not know?

But this time, for the sake of the public, as well as his own interests, he naturally wants to be this urgent vanguard. It is believed that with the support of Europe and the United States and other countries, once this bill is established and passed, Huaxia can only temporarily withdraw the escort formation.

Without the escort formation, the pirates, who have been hungry and thirsty for several years, will definitely grab all the ships that can move in the Gulf of Aden.

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, a staff member hurriedly came to Xu Yuansi's ear and said a word. At the same time, the information in his hand was handed over to Xu Yuansi.

Xu Yuansi, who was still sad just now, became radiant.

In Dale's heart, he had a feeling that it was not very good.

Xu Yuansi first took a general look at the information in his hand, and his smile became bigger and bigger, and then he raised the information in his hand, and after pressing the speech button in front of him, after the console passed the request to speak to him, the microphone entered the state of allowing him to speak.

"The only thing that everyone is arguing about is whether there are pirates in Somalia. You can't argue anymore, just now, I received news that Somali pirates have hijacked a transport ship of our Zhongtian Shipping Company, and all 20 crew members on board have become hostages. ”

Speaking of this, Xu Yuansi flipped through the information again and said: "The pirates don't know which group it is for the time being, but they have already proposed a ransom of up to 500 million yuan from Zhongtian Shipping Company. ”

As soon as this news came out, the faces of the representatives of various countries changed.

Dahler, in particular, simply couldn't believe his ears. He knows the situation in Somalia, the pirates are all keeping to themselves, how could they possibly stab themselves in the back at this juncture of their own protests?

There is no need to fake this kind of news, because all countries can find out whether there is such a thing.

Since Huaxia dares to say it here, I'm afraid there are really pirates who dare to do it.

Obviously, there is an escort formation, and the other party dares to make a move, but he simply does not take the Huaxia Navy in his eyes. This group of pirates is simply awesome.

"In view of this, it is necessary for our Navy to maintain the security of the Gulf of Aden and continue to ensure the safety of our merchant ships."

Xu Yuansi had something to say, so that Dahler had no way to refute it.

He said that there were no pirates, but now he was slapped in the face. It doesn't matter if there are pirates, it is the merchant ships of China that are hijacked, which is even more eye-opening.

Who doesn't know that in the Gulf of Aden, there are several Chinese warships, and these most advanced warships, once they fire, they will not be able to beat up the Somali pirates?

Dahler felt the pain in his face, and standing here, he could feel the angry eyes of many of the delegates. You made this thing up in Somalia, and it's good for you that this bill hasn't been mentioned yet, so you have set up an oolong yourself.

You can put the oolong on your own, and you will cause them to follow.

The meeting has lost its relevance by now.

…………

For the first time, a hijacking video appeared on video platforms in various countries, which immediately caused an uproar.

Many pirates who had not appeared before reappeared.

There are well-known Somali pirates all over the world, and their popularity is not covered. When pirates are mentioned, people subconsciously think of Somali pirates, not the so-called pirate kings of ancient times.

In the video, 20 crew members are pointed at gunpoint to the pirate's HNA voyage, and their faces are all specified.

The video was cut, so as the faces appeared, and as soon as the camera turned, a list appeared, listing hundreds of information about the crew, as well as their ransom payments.

Twenty crew members, the pirates directly offered a ransom of 500 million yuan to Zhongtian Shipping.

"Are these pirates destitute?"

"500 million, although life is priceless, but the price of 500 million is also due to them."

"This time, Zhongtian Shipping has been affected."

"Somali pirates, who have not appeared for a long time, have reappeared."

"I hope these crew members are safe."

For a while, the entire network was boiling. Under the news, countless people have replied, and in the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of replies have been made, and the number is still growing.

And the media are also like being beaten with chicken blood.

During this period of time, there was really a lot of work, such as the virtual technology of Baichuan Guihai Company, and then the sinking of the Sea Royal, and then before I could take a breath, it was the Somali pirates who took another shot and kidnapped twenty crew members.

With such a dense burst of big news, how can they not rejoice?

In their industry, news represents a bonus, so much big news, thinking that there are still three months before the end of the year, this bonus red envelope must be extremely rich.

In the video, a man with a masked face and only a pair of eyes revealed said in Somali dialect: "500 million, not a penny less, must be paid within half a month, otherwise we will kill one a day in the next time until we finish killing." ”

These words, naturally, caused an uproar again.

There is no accident, with the opening of the stock market, Zhongtian Shipping was so negatively affected that it fell five points directly.
