The name of the Gulf of Aden, which has long been listed by the United Nations as "the most dangerous sea in the world" and that it is necessary to pass through the Gulf of Aden, if you want to travel between China and the Arab Kingdom, because it is the only way to enter the Red Sea.Someone once used a very simple example to describe the danger of the Gulf of Aden, 200 ships, 100 ships through the Bermuda Triangle, 100 ships through the Gulf of Aden, the result is definitely that the ships in the Gulf of Aden are more unlucky, it is said that every year there will be one or two hundred cargo ships of all kinds hijacked by pirates, which causes various economic losses.Taken together, it can reach two or three billion US dollars.After these pirates hijacked the ship, the ransom extortion is very skillful, so that your flesh will be painful, and you will not have the intention of dying.For example, Luo Yuhang's ship, the crude oil on the ship alone is worth more than 50 million US dollars, plus the value of the ship itself, and most importantly, the personal safety of more than 30 crew members, all kinds of factors add up, so that I dare not act rashly, and the other party only extorted 10 million US dollars, as long as my brain is not a show, I will definitely pay honestly.As for reporting to the maritime authorities and resolving the issue through national means, I have no hope.It's not that our waist pole is not hard, but because of years of war, the country is in chaos in Somalia, and the government can't control pirates.Our navy is very powerful, but we can't just enter the territorial waters of other countries, and just like that, we will block the way to solve the piracy problem at the national level.Somali pirates, if they were easy to deal with, would not have extorted passing ships year after year without being wiped out.Ma Xinghua told me about these pirates during a casual chat, and Lao Ma said that his ship had also been hijacked, and that Lao Ma had secretly paid a ransom without telling the maritime department to save the man and the ship.According to the old horse.The reason why no one dared to tell them was because once the government knew about it, they would definitely not agree to pay the ransom, but would find a way to send people to rescue them.Again, it's not that our waist pole is not hard, but that Somalia is too chaotic, and there is a government that is almost the same as not, and the heavily armed US military convoy entering Somalia may not be able to come out alive.Let my crew take such a big risk, I don't want it, in my heart, I don't want the ship, but my people must come back with all their tails It is said that in the early years, there was a uproar about the hijacking of the Ukrainian national arms ship, when the Somali pirates hijacked the ship with 33 main battle tanks and thousands of tons of ammunition.As a result, the Ukrainian government had to send helicopters loaded with huge ransoms to drop on the pirates' designated locations.Only then did the arms be redeemed.Even if a country's government's arms ship is hijacked, you have to pay a ransom, but you can imagine how difficult it is to rescue and Somali pirates are not bad in terms of credibility, as long as the ransom is paid, they will generally release people and ships, and will not hurt the hijacked crew, there are so many hijacked cargo ships, in recent years, I heard that only when confronting the army, the pirates have only killed the hostages twice, so the security issue can be temporarily assured.I don't have a lot of money, and for me, a billionaire who has more than a billion dollars in Swiss banks, it is not a problem for the bank to help me raise 10 million dollars in cash in a short period of time.My buddy is rich, and he doesn't care about money for the sake of his crew, but this thing is very embarrassing.When the ship and people return safely, the buddies will let these lawless pirates see and understand, who is the master of the sea is now saying that everything is in vain, first prepare the money, and wait for the pirates to notify the location of the ransom payment is the key.If it attracts the attention of the escort formation and reports it to the maritime department, I will probably be blinded in this rescue operation that I carried out without permission.I got up and went downstairs, and in the villa opposite, Chen Feng was teaching Wang Kehan the deadly trick of one blow, and I asked Wang Kehan to stay.Called Chen Feng out.Returning to the villa, I told Chen Feng about what happened, Chen Feng thought for a while, and told me very calmly that paying the ransom was the safest way to rescue.Gangdala in Somalia is a pirate den.Adults and children are all involved in pirates, and it is almost impossible to guarantee the safety of the hostages if they rush into the rescue.There were thirty-two crew members on one ship, such a number of hostages.Even American blockbusters don't dare to act in dramas that can all be rescued unscathed.In addition, the hijacked oil tanker is impossible to leave the port safely, so Chen Feng also supported my behavior of paying the ransom.Now that the ransom payment has been decided, there is nothing to hesitate about, and I called the UBS branch in Quanzhou directly.Let them prepare ten million dollars in cash for me tomorrow, and I will pick it up at any time.It's good to have money, especially when dealing with capitalist countries, the other party didn't even have superfluous nonsense, and simply agreed to my request.The money is done.It's just a matter of waiting, I sent Chen Feng out, and I started to fall into real sleep, as long as I rescued people, buddy was ready to make a big fuss in the Gulf of Aden.These pirates are forcing me out of Asia and into the world.Early the next morning, the pirates called again, in which I asked to confirm the safety of the crew and the safety of the tanker.The pirates had been prepared.After asking me for my email address, I sent two videos.One video is of the crew, in a large empty house, with Captain Luo Yuhang squatting in the middle, next to thirty-one familiar faces.Dressed neatly, there are no scars to be seen, but a person's face is full of confusion and frustration.Seven men armed with firearms and dressed in camouflage uniforms stood around.Man wearing a floral plaid hood.Another video shows the oil tanker docked at an unfamiliar pier, with a number of speedboats next to it, and pirate soldiers with guns on their backs can be seen patrolling the pier."
Hey, my friend, see your crew and boat, I assure you.They will all be taken care of in the best possible way, and after you have paid the ransom, they will be on their way again. ”The man with a strange tone was so lively on the phone that people listened to his voice and wanted to slap him."
Well, I agree to pay the ransom.But I want my people to be taken care of in the best possible way, to give them plenty of food and water, not to beat or hurt them, and for that I don't have to negotiate with you about the amount of the ransom, I just want my people to be safe. ”"Okay.I promise you that you are a good person, friend, and that you are also the most generous boss I have ever met, and that your people will be taken care of as they deserve.We give you 10 days to raise money.Within 10 days, as long as you can deliver the ransom to the designated location, we will release the people and the ship. ”After saying that, I received another email in my mailbox with detailed coordinates for the ransom payment.The coordinates are at sea, about a hundred nautical miles from Gandara.The pirates asked me to put the ransom money on a speedboat or something that would float on the water, and contact them as soon as the ransom arrived, and they would pick it up within half an hour.In this way, the pirates should have their own sea patrols, otherwise they would not have been able to get to the place in half an hour.It's useless to think about it now.After everything is rescued and everyone and the ship are rescued.Since the ransom payment was promised, the sooner the money was delivered, the better.Luo Yuhang's ship has been filed with the Maritime Safety Bureau, although there is a delay period before and after the voyage, but if it does not arrive at the designated place for a long time, it will definitely be known to the government.I'm going to wipe it, buddy, a person who has been blackmailed, is even more afraid of being known than pirates, what is the way of the world to hang up the phone, I called Master Tu in the shipyard again."
Old Tu.You help me make something, a two-meter-long fully sealed speedboat model, it is best to withstand the water pressure at a depth of 200 meters, and the sinking and floating system does not need to be made, and the power system does not need to be made, as long as there is a general appearance.Time is in a hurry, and the sooner it is completed, the better. ”"Boss, look at what kind of valve type you want to design the water shelter hatch to, which is easier to get, which can save some time.""
Anything goes, you can do it.I just ask for fast, and the seal is good, and the rest doesn't matter. ”"Boss, in this case, our factory will be able to make it tomorrow morning.""
When you're done, you can send someone to the Qixingtan dock, remember to give me a call.""
Okay
