At the beginning of the return journey, a few people who were in a good mood asked the boat to slow down, took out wine and chatted while drinking, and the original half-hour voyage seemed to be at least two hours. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, when the ship was halfway through, an accident occurred, and the gunboats escorting the ship 500 meters to their right sent a message that a merchant ship fifteen nautical miles away had sent a distress signal, claiming that pirates were pursuing their ship.

The walkie-talkie was hung on Xiao Yang's waist, and when the gunboat reported, everyone heard the news, Xiao Yang saw that Alaed's face instantly appeared excited, and said in his heart, Is this the will of heaven?

Less than fifty nautical miles from the port of Kutos, there were already several pirates who had not heard of them coming, but they appeared at this time.

"What direction? Where is Boat 2 now? He asked immediately.

Gunboats have a duty to be responsible for maritime safety, and when they receive a distress signal, then they must react.

"To the northeast of us, Boat 2 is now patrolling our south." The gunboat replied immediately.

Looks like you have to go!

If the gunboat leaves and they go back alone, there will be an accident on the way back, and the danger will be greater, so it is better to go with the gunboat and go back together after the matter is settled.

Now, there was no need for Aled to say anything, Xiao Yang immediately decided to go to the sea area where the incident occurred together.

"Great, you'll be able to meet pirates soon." Listening to Xiao Yang's order, Aled's eyebrows fluttered and Abdullah said.

Abdullah smiled wryly, for hunting, fishing, and exploring, the two of them were the same, but he definitely didn't have the whims of Aled to meet pirates.

glanced at him helplessly, and said, "The bullet doesn't have long eyes, wait for you to be careful." ”

Aled was now full of excitement, waved his hand, and didn't pay attention to his reminder at all, Xiao Yang next to him looked at it, and really felt that it was always not too big to watch the excitement, but this kind of excitement was so good-looking?

Ask the fishing boat to speed up, catch up with the gunboat in front, get a few sets of body armor from it for Aled and Abdullah to put on, and then bring a few rifles to alert the bodyguards on the other yacht, and then drive at full speed towards the area where the incident occurred.

Whether it is a gunboat or a yacht, the maximum speed can reach 40 knots, the speed of the fishing boat is a little slower, but it can also be 35 knots, sailing at the fastest speed of the fishing boat, the three boats are in a zigzag, and in about 20 minutes, they are close to the location where the distress signal is issued.

"Four nautical miles ahead, find the target." The gunboat on the far left had a small radar on it, and it quickly detected several signals, and after contacting the distress caller, the target was immediately confirmed.

"Follow the rules. You don't have to report to me, I'll leave it to you. ”

"Understood."

Finding pirates, expulsion is the first task, in special or last resort circumstances, they will attack, Xiao Yang has been in Somalia for many years, he knows that the pirates in the north, most of them are ordinary fishermen, even if these people hijack the boat, they will not kill or hurt the hostages, at most they will negotiate with the owner of the ship, in the end, this is just a means for them to make money, to say illegal or criminal or something, compared to those politicians, warlords or something, it is simply not worth mentioning.

So, he didn't want to kill them all in the first place.

Aled didn't understand why Xiao Yang didn't command it himself, and found that the ship in front of him couldn't be seen in the telescope, so he asked curiously.

Tight-fitting fishing suit, but wearing a bulletproof vest outside, a bulletproof helmet on his head, and a gun on his shoulder, how strange and strange it is, Xiao Yang smiled silently and explained to him: "...... Pirates are not heinous, and we also have a standard set of anti-piracy guidelines, which the people below are already familiar with, and they don't need me to command them at all. ”

Aled and Abdullah are both high-minded, they have lived a life of fine clothes and food since they were children, although they don't put much on the commoners, but they don't really know these people who live in a low life, and it is a little strange to hear Xiao Yang say that pirates are just too poor and use this as a means of making a living.

"In fact, this is also the sadness of a country, these people are basically illiterate and uneducated, and you know the situation in this country, the law is popular? Forget it, the authorities and the government have never done such a thing since the founding of the country, I have lived here for several years, you may not believe that these tribal villages along the coast can make money from piracy, which is their only concept, as for breaking the law? I'm sorry, I didn't know about this thing......"

"As for the danger of this business, it is possible to die or be caught and sent to prison, for them, this is just the price of making money, there is no concept of law at all, of course, not every pirate is like this, such as the Abadi, who is known as the pirate king, this guy is not a good stubble, he is not like ordinary pirates can bargain, if he is robbed, the safety of life may not be guaranteed......"

For the two of them, pirates are just a topic after dinner, in their eyes, pirates are robbers and murderers at sea, and only after hearing Xiao Yang's words did they understand that the truth of the facts and what they knew were completely different things.

For them, it is really incomprehensible that ordinary people use their lives to make money, knowing that the navies of various countries are now escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden, and one of them may kill them, but there are still so many people joining this line, which is ......

"Do other countries do the same as you do when it comes to pirates?" Abdullah asked thoughtfully.

Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect him to ask like this, and looked at him deeply, "Some countries are, and some countries are not...... hesitated for a moment, and he explained a few more words: "Pirates are just an industry for ordinary civilians in Somalia and Somaliland, but for many countries, this is an interest, for many countries, the Gulf of Aden is as important to you as the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and the Strait of Hermuz, if there are no pirates, what reason do they have to send warships here?" ”

The two of them are not pure businessmen, but they don't understand much about military or some political things, and when they heard Xiao Yang's explanation, they all fell silent.

"That means many countries don't want piracy to go extinct?" After a while, Aled laughed mockingly.

Xiao Yang nodded, "That's right, that's it." ”

"What about you?" Abdullah looked at him, "Your first choice for pirates is expulsion, do you also want them to exist forever?" ”

This question is a bit sharp, if someone else asks, Xiao Yang may not necessarily answer, but for the two of them, he laughed out loud and said, "Me? I simply don't want their lives, and I don't want to build a country, and I don't have to worry about the warships of other countries appearing in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, besides, to put it mildly, as long as I say a word, I let the pirates attack the Japanese ships, and they will definitely not rob the American ships, what do I have to worry about? ”

Alaed and Apdullah looked at each other, surprised by Xiao Yang's ability, but also surprised by the current situation.

"So what's going on now?" Alaed asked with a strange expression.

Xiao Yang smiled, and when he said the previous words, he knew that the two of them would definitely ask this question, "Because I never let them not come here, once our patrol boat finds them, it will only drive them away, but there are always people who will take a cold shot when fishing, right?" We can't stop this situation, of course, for the sake of Kutos's reputation, we will definitely guarantee the safety of the ships entering the port, as for the ships passing here, I don't think we are obligated to protect them, right? ”

The two looked at each other again, each with surprise in their eyes.

When Xiao Yang said this, did he admit that Kutos actually had a "tacit understanding" with the pirates? The ships that come to the port of Kutos will not have an accident, and other ships may be hijacked, this situation may not have any effect in a short time, but in the long run, those ship owners will be aware of this problem, and when the time comes, won't the ships passing by here choose to replenish or repair in the port of Kutos?

In this way, the port of Kutos will definitely benefit immensely.

"And the ship that was targeted by the pirates is coming to your port this time?" Alled blurted out.

Xiao Yang nodded with a smile, "Of course, otherwise you think I'm really so idle and still take you over?" ”

"......" The two were speechless, and they all gave him a thumbs up.

Knowing some of the secrets in between, Aled knew that there was nothing to see today's excitement, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he didn't know what to mutter, so he simply put away the gun on his shoulder and began to take off the body armor on his body again.

When Xiao Yang saw his move, he immediately stopped him, what he said before was not wrong, but there was one thing he didn't say, that is, although this is the sea area of Kutos, it is not necessarily that the pirates who appear here are from Somaliland, it may be Somalia, and the Somali pirates have no tacit understanding with him.

"What? Isn't it okay? Aled looked at him strangely.

"What I said is still useful for pirates in Somaliland, but the pirates here are not necessarily from Somaliland, but what if they are from Somalia? Then we can only go to war. ”

Kutos is almost a border city, thinking that it may not be big, but it is not impossible, Aled nodded, immediately stopped taking off his body armor, and put his gun back on his back.

As a few people spoke, they could clearly see a freighter heading northwest towards the port of Kutos, but perhaps because of the angle, Xiao Yang did not see the pirate's ship in their field of vision.

This situation surprised Xiao Yang a little, observed it, and immediately contacted the gunboat that had changed to the right and asked them if they had seen pirates.
