Evil Hero

Zhang Yang flipped out of the window. From inside, it looked like he jumped down, but in fact, at the moment he jumped out of the window, he had already used teleportation skills and appeared directly in front of the two pirates.

The two pirates were on guard duty outside. Since they joined the pirate team, they had never seen anyone dare to make trouble in the robbers' den, so standing outside was just a formality. The two of them were smoking cigarettes and chatting, looking forward to robbing three cargo ships this time. After receiving the ransom, they would definitely get a lot of money. The girl they found in Huibia City last time was really fucking awesome. After dividing the money, they would go to her place to have fun for two days.

The two were daydreaming, but they didn't expect that a person suddenly stood in front of them. The person was full of smiles, his palms were like knives, and he chopped the two people's necks without saying a word. The two pirates fell down limply without even asking a word.

Zhang Yang chopped the pirate standing guard at the door unconscious, stood in front of the gate and looked around, and found that he was standing outside a church. Inside the gate, in addition to the tall church where Chen Jianbo and others were imprisoned, there were two slightly shorter houses.

Zhang Yang walked quietly to the outside of one of the houses and listened carefully. There were faint bursts of laughter coming from inside. Zhang Yang used his clairvoyance to look over and saw that there were several sofas inside the house. Six strong men were eating, drinking and chatting around the table in the middle. They all spoke the local language of Somalia, and Zhang Yang couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

After seeing the situation inside clearly, Zhang Yang moved and appeared in front of the six people in the blink of an eye. He punched and kicked them and knocked them unconscious. Zhang Yang found a rope in the room and tied them up one by one. Then he left the room and ran to another house.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Yang had searched all the rooms and knocked out a total of thirteen pirates. Zhang Yang tied them all up and put them in a room. Then he walked into the big house where Chen Jianbo was imprisoned and released everyone inside.

Zhang Yang asked Chen Jianbo and others to take the pirates' weapons and searched carefully again. After making sure that there were no pirates who had escaped in the yard, he woke up one of the pirates and asked in English: "What's your name? How many people are there in total? Where is the hijacked ship?"

The official languages ​​of Somalia are Somali and Arabic, and Islam is the state religion. The common languages ​​are English and Italian. As long as the questions are asked in English, the pirate will definitely understand.

The pirate looked at Zhang Yang and the hostages who were originally held by his own people in horror, and said in a trembling voice: "My name is Dasang, and I am the chef responsible for cooking here. This is just a base where we hold hostages. There are a total of 15 people, and two of them went out to buy vegetables. The hijacked ship has now sailed to Harardhere."

Zhang Yang knew that Harardhere and Hobyo in Somalia are both coastal towns located north of Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. These two places have always been considered the pirates' nest.

Since the fall of the Siad regime in 1991, Somalia has been in a state of warlord separatism and the country has been in a state of anarchy. The various factions in the country have been fighting and stopping, and after continuous differentiation and combination, they have gradually formed a pattern of four Mogadishu factions such as Somaliland, Puntland, Rahanwenland and Aidid.

The outbreak of the Somali civil war has profound social roots and is the inevitable product of the irreconcilable tribal conflicts and party disputes. The Siad government came to power in 1969 and has been in power for a long time without the necessary supervision, resulting in serious corruption and the prevalence of nepotism. These contradictions are mixed with tribal relations, and the whole country is complaining about this, making the country even more impoverished. The anti-government armed forces are equivalent to an uprising. Just when the situation was about to explode, Siad urgently mobilized people from his tribe from all over the country to advance to the capital to defend himself.

Unexpectedly, this move caused other tribes to bring troops into the capital to seize territory, and officers and soldiers of the national army each took their guns to join their own tribes to participate in the war. The situation in the capital deteriorated sharply, and the Siad government collapsed immediately.

In the state of anarchy, warlords fought for power and occupied territory; Siad made a comeback and led the remnants to the capital and was hit head-on; the multinational force led by the United States was severely damaged in Mogadishu and was eventually forced to withdraw; the repeated interventions and mediations of the international community did not work, the reconciliation meetings were held and dispersed, the armed conflicts between the various factions were fought and stopped, and the peace process was difficult.

It was under the influence of this state of anarchy, war and famine that many people in Somalia, including some well-trained soldiers of the former government army, took a fancy to this low-risk and high-return profession - pirates.

Pirates are often equipped with advanced communication equipment such as satellite phones and global positioning systems, and have automatic weapons, rocket launchers and other weapons. Pirates often use the "mother-and-child ship" plan in tactics, that is, dispatching a larger tugboat as their mobile "base" at sea. After locking the target, several speedboats carrying 6 to 10 armed personnel are dispatched from the "base" to surround the ship, thus taking into account the flexibility and logistical supply issues during the robbery.

Pirates are well-trained and equipped with advanced equipment, so they have a higher chance of success. Since they often get a lot of money from robberies, most pirates are well-known in the local area, almost equivalent to "celebrity". They build magnificent coastal villas, drive luxury cars when traveling, and even marry extra wives.

It is precisely because of so many benefits that in a country with a per capita GDP of less than 500 pounds (about 785 US dollars), people lack other means of livelihood, and pirate activities that can bring huge ransoms naturally have rich soil for survival and development, resulting in more and more Somalis who are on the poverty line and cannot afford to eat and wear participate in piracy, and the pirate team is gradually growing.

In the past, Zhang Yang only browsed the Internet or learned some news about Somali pirates from Chinese news programs. He did not expect that one day his business would develop to the Red Sea and the Mediterranean coast, and the Gulf of Aden would become an area that his tankers could not avoid. Now the pirates have extended their greedy arms to the ships of Feiyang Group. If they can't find a way to solve the problem once and for all, they may have to go to the anti-Somalia front line frequently in the future.

"Very good, Dasan. I think you will find a way to notify your partners to send back the Chinese-owned Feiyang No. 6 tanker." Zhang Yang smiled and said again.

As soon as Dasan pondered, the muzzle of the gun in Chen Jianbo's hand was pointed at his head.

Don't forget to recommend, collect, and give flowers. Youlong still needs to shout again. Don't forget to give some encouragement after visiting.
