Chapter 1573 The Arrival of Pirates

Every nation has its bad roots. As a Chinese, Ye Qian naturally knows some bad qualities of the Chinese nation very well. As a human being, you can't blindly be arrogant without knowing your own shortcomings. Only by facing up to one's own shortcomings can one truly become self-improving.

Today's China is no longer the China of the past. Both the economy and the military have developed a lot, but in fact, there are not many people who really understand where it is. Ye Qian is a little bit aware of some of them, especially China's military power, Ye Qian has done a deep investigation and research.

The ship will arrive in Somali waters today. The captain and crew are obviously very nervous. They have worked so hard for so long. If all the cargo is robbed by Somali pirates, it will be a big blow to them . More importantly, they are very likely to even confess their own lives. As a law-abiding ordinary citizen, what can they do when they meet heinous pirates? We can only take one step at a time and hope God blesses us.

The four major gangs of Somali pirates have their own ships patrolling the sea non-stop. Once they find a ship, they will go up and loot it. Of course, sometimes when you are in a good mood, you may not kill them all, but only grab half of the goods. Because they also know very well that if they catch big fish for a long time, if they kill them all every time, and no ship can be spared, it will undoubtedly cut off their own source of income. Even if those people starve to death, they will not take the risk Run the boat. It is because of giving others a little bit of luck, so some people continue to take risks and run the ship, so that they can continue to provide them with wealth. These pirates are not just some heinous desperadoes.

Due to the matter of dealing with Angola, Somali pirates have settled down a lot in Somali waters recently. Now, the affairs in Angola have been temporarily put on hold, and they have no choice but to return to the waters off Somalia. In fact, even without Ye Qian's phone call, they would have patrolled here early, and this ship could not escape their sight.

The whole morning, the captain and the crew were worried. As they were about to enter the waters of Somalia, they were obviously much quieter, not as relaxed as before, because they knew very well that once they were discovered by Somali pirates, they might be close to death, so they had to be careful.

During lunch, the captain and the crew members didn't eat much. They had too many things on their minds, so they naturally couldn't eat. It was about two o'clock in the afternoon, and the ship was about to enter the waters of Somalia. The captain ordered loudly: "Go at full speed, and there must be no stops along the way." His expression was very serious, as if he was facing a critical moment of life and death.

The fact is indeed the case, if you meet Somali pirates, life and death are really unpredictable. They just hope to speed up to pass, and maybe avoid those pirates. After all, not every ship will be robbed by them over the years, and occasionally they will escape by luck.

Ye Qian and Xie Fei shook their heads helplessly, they knew that they would inevitably run into Somali pirates today, but it was inconvenient to say so. If Ye Qian told them that he called the Somali pirates and told them to come and pick him up, he wondered if the crew would have eaten him alive. Things have developed to this point, Ye Qian has no other way, when the time comes, he will try to keep them as much as possible.

Along the way, the captain stayed in the wheelhouse, staring closely at the front and the radar, secretly praying that he would not meet those pirates. Time passed by minute by minute, and it had been more than three hours before he knew it. Seeing that he had left the Somali waters after a while, and there was still no sign of the pirates, a stone in the captain's heart gradually became a little bit lay down. However, until the last moment, he never dared to slack off in the slightest.

Ye Qian was slightly stunned, a little confused, he had already told Teddy Imbury about his arrival time, so he should send someone to pick him up? However, until now there is no shadow, could it be that something happened? Or, Teddy Imbree had a change of heart?

Xie Fei didn't speak, he stood at the bow of the boat, lit a cigarette, and took a puff from time to time, very leisurely. No one knows what the upcoming scene will be like, and no one can predict it. If one is not careful, it may be a catastrophe. As Xie Fei said, this is at sea, even if their skills are very good, there is not much room for them to display themselves, if the opponent hits a shell, they will still be smashed to pieces. Facing the imminent danger, one needs to be more calm and calm. Xie Fei's leisurely attitude doesn't mean that he doesn't pay attention to it, it's just a way for him to relax. Only by adjusting your mood well can you make the most correct judgment when you are in danger.

"The cargo ship ahead stops, the cargo ship ahead stops!" Suddenly there was a broadcast sound from behind, Ye Qian couldn't help turning his head to look, and saw two small gunboats galloping towards them. There is a big flag hanging on it, and it is the Somali pirates. When the captain and the crew heard this voice, their hearts suddenly thumped, and they felt cold. They would be able to leave the Somali waters in less than two hours, but now they were caught up by Somali pirates. Because there are a lot of goods on board, the speed of the ship is not very fast, even if you want to run, you can't run away. What's more, the ships behind are equipped with cannons. That would be bad.

Helpless, the captain had to order the ship to stop. Walking out of the cabin, when seeing Ye Qian and Xie Fei, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Remember, you must hold back later, don't mess around, you know? Maybe say something Good words, spend some money, today's things can pass."

At this moment, what else could Ye Qian and Xie Fei say, they could only nod their heads and agree. After a while, two small gunboats approached, and about a dozen pirates jumped out of the boat. The leader was a man in his forties with a big beard, his chest was open, and the fine hair on his chest Like a green dragon descending from top to bottom, it is very scary.

More than a dozen people boarded the cargo ship. The captain hurriedly greeted them, took out cigarettes from his arms and passed them over, and said in a good voice: "Masters, smoke, smoke. I'm just doing some small business, and I hope you can Be merciful, I have some money here, I hope you guys can accept it.” While talking, the captain took out a wad of money from his pocket and handed it over, it seemed that he was already prepared.

The leading pirate reached out to take it, glanced at the money in his hand, and said indifferently: "Is everyone here? Call me everyone."

"Everyone is here." The captain said, "If you have any orders, just tell me, and we will definitely obey them."

The task Teddy Inbree gave him was to pick up Ye Qian. The order he gave him was to act expediently. This is a bit ambiguous, and it is not so easy to explain clearly. What is expediency? Basically, it is equivalent to giving him full power, he can make any decision. Andy Cooper originally planned to give Ye Qian a bad start, and then pick him up and let Teddy Inbree handle it, but now seeing this cargo ship, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. According to the draft of this cargo ship, Look, there are probably a lot of goods on board, this is a huge fortune, in front of you, how can you miss it in vain? I finally came out for a trip, so I can't return empty-handed, right?

"Turn around and go back with us, we want this cargo." Andy Cooper said.

The captain was taken aback, knelt down with a "plop", and said, "Master, sir, the cargo on this ship is my entire net worth. Please do me a favor and let us go. I promise, once the cargo is sold, it will be taken away." Half of the proceeds from the goods will be given to the uncle, and I hope that the uncle will show mercy and let us go."

Seeing the captain like this, the crew members couldn't help it, they were all very angry, and wanted to step forward to fight them. "What do you want to do? Rebellion? Huh, if you dare to mess around, don't blame me for being rude." Seeing the expressions of the crew members, Andy Cooper snorted coldly and said, and his men immediately aimed their guns at those crew members. crew.

The captain hurriedly gave the crew a wink, telling them not to mess around. Then, he kept begging, hoping to let them go. However, where do these pirates have any humanity? How can you let go of what you have so easily?

Seeing this, Ye Qian couldn't bear it anymore. Stepping forward a few steps, he said, "Did your commander give you such an order?"

Andy Cooper was slightly stunned, looked Ye Qian up and down, and said, "Who are you? When will you have room to speak here?"

"Ye Qian, I think your commander should have told you, right? The purpose of your visit this time is to pick me up, so as not to cause trouble." Ye Qian said, "Take it as a face for me and let them go."

"You are Ye Qian? Huh, it seems that the rumors are so untrue. It is said that the wolf king Ye Qian is so awesome, such a hero, I thought he had three heads and six arms. You look like a bird." Andy Cooper said with a disdainful smile.

After hearing Ye Qian's words, the captain and the crew immediately understood that Ye Qian had attracted these pirates, and all of them glared at Ye Qian angrily. The captain was even more heartbroken, and said: "Mr. Ye, I thought I didn't feel sorry for you, but I didn't expect you to attract them. If I knew this, I shouldn't have let you aboard. I was blind."
