Chapter 745 Maritime Confrontation on

This is Cape Ha Fong, the easternmost part of Somalia. Since a group of semi-fishery and semi-pirates here was wiped out by the national special forces half a year ago, it has been occupied by another group of professional pirate organizations in just a few months.

For the residents of the sea, both the former 'amateur pirates' and the current professional pirate group are welcome. Because these pirates are crippled here, the cost is certainly not small at ordinary times. Eating, drinking and playing can bring more income to the residents here. If it is a special time, the pirates will also temporarily hire some locals to participate in the operation. Although they are not as popular as the official members of the pirates, they are much more than those inland. The life of the residents is undoubtedly much better.

On this day, the pirate organization called 'Aden Bay Hunter' issued a notice in several settlements, announcing that it would recruit a group of temporary employees. There are also many requirements for temporary employees, such as the priority of being able to make weapons, the priority of being bold and not afraid of death, the priority of excellent water, and even the fierce-looking ones. It can be given priority... The corresponding treatment is also very high. The demand for this group of temporary employees is about 30 people, and each person can get a commission of $100 per day. The estimated working time is 3-5 days.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted serious attention from the residents of Cape Ha Fung. The customs of the residents here are extremely fierce. Each of them can be said to have engaged in illegal activities, and the relationship with pirates is also extremely close. Many families have had or are now experienced in the profession of pirates.

The treatment of the 'Aden Bay Hunter' pirate gang is very good, with a commission of 100 dollars a day, and you can get four or five hundred dollars in three or five days, which is enough for a family of four to live for several months.

The influx of peninsula residents filled several recruitment sites in an instant. Many experienced and young men at sea waved their arms to pray for a position. Even among them, some shrews wrapped in headscarves were not inferior to sign up.

Who doesn't know the interests of being pirates? Even if they are only temporary employees, they belong to a high-paying profession, and the risk of this profession is still very small, because pirates generally hijack those civilian ships. They basically have no weapons, only weapons such as pumps and water guns, and pirates have guns. Most importantly, even if they unfortunately encountered the escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden Mountain when they were doing business, they did not dare to shoot directly at the pirates. At most, they expelled them, and their lives were basically safe.

Bahbro was invisible in a recruitment point this time. Looking at these excited residents, he couldn't help shaking his head secretly. I don't know whether these people are poor or naturally adventurous. Not every business is simple and easy, such as this time...

A day ago, the 'Aden Bay Hunter' pirate group successfully hijacked a South Korean cargo ship in northeastern Somalia and the northwestern Indian Ocean, which was full of mechanical products with a total value of $50 million. However, in this hijacking operation, his whereabouts were exposed. It was found by Cui Ying, a destroyer belonging to South Korea in the Gulf of Aden. The other party only followed the pirate ship of the 'Aden Bay Hunter' and the South Korean cargo ship. Several times, they tried to rush up to rescue the hostages, but they were intimidated by the 'Aden Bay Hunter' and retreat.

The current recruitment of temporary employees is naturally to support the opposition in the east of Cape Athel. While preserving this harvest as much as possible, it also ensures the loss of our personnel.

Most of the pirate members in 'Aden Bay Hunter' are elites trained for more than a year. Neither Babru nor 'Lone Wolf' are willing to lose one of them.

The step-by-step pressure of the South Korean destroyer 'Cui Ying' made both Baburu and 'Lone Wolf' feel something was wrong, and they immediately planned to recruit more members to fight against the South Korean navy. Babbro can't control so much about the life and death of these temporary employees, because he has been hinted above that for those areas where pirates are rampant, some special measures can sometimes be used to solve these people who are usually fishermen and pirates in special times.

So don't have any sympathy for these Somalis who have pirates and even yearn for pirates far more than being a docile national. However, these people should also be treated differently. Some of them have to take risks because of the impasse and even despair of life. They should recruit these people into the pirate group as much as possible, instead of letting them act as cannon fodder.

Generally speaking, it is necessary to eradicate those who are low-loyal, unyal, and difficult to change their surnames. While using them, we should eradicate them as much as possible. For those who have cultivated surnames and are talented in the pirate profession, they can be cultivated by the pirate group and become the backbone of the pirate group.

Li Mo's purpose is to let them enter the interior of the pirates, attract differentiation, eliminate a group of uncontrollable evils, and gradually bring together Somali pirates. And control them. In this way, it not only solves the problem of Somali pirates, which has been criticized internationally, but also has a card that is very important to use, which can be described as a plan to kill many birds with one stone.

Bavru is now slowly understanding Li Mo's thoughts, so he is very careful in this matter. Today, he came here to observe and understand it in person. It is best to distinguish the two pirates in his mind. The use of cannon fodder is naturally to send weapons and external [***] teams to fight, but Naturally, the future backbone of cultivation is to share some less dangerous work as much as possible.

East of Cape Acerre, 70 kilometers northeast of Somalia's territorial sea, a silver-gray destroyer is slowly heading southeast at a speed of 12 knots. This destroyer is the missile destroyer Cui Ying of the South Korean Navy, which is on an escort mission in the Gulf of Aden. At this moment, her mission is to track a South Korean cargo ship hijacked by pirates and find an opportunity to rescue 21 hostages.

Above the deck, in addition to the guarded sailors, several strangely dressed people were talking to the destroyer captain in a low voice, looking up at the big, two small and three black spots at the end of the sea from time to time.

"Coloon Cui, are you sure?" Zheng Zaihao, the captain of the missile destroyer Cui Ying, asked a lieutenant colonel in a green special combat uniform beside him with a gloomy face. At this moment, it has been a day and a half since the cargo ship was hijacked. Although the destroyer Cui Ying tried to approach the cargo ship several times, it was threatened by pirates to kill the hostages and had to retreat. They were waiting for the opportunity and support.

And the small but very strong lieutenant colonel officer beside him is the main force in the rescue of the hostages, one of the special forces of the South Korean Navy, a small captain of the Navy's all-weather strike team. The all-weather strike team of the South Korean Navy is one of the most elite special forces in South Korea, nicknamed 'sea man-eating shark'. This 'sea man-eating shark' special force has always been the most famous amphibious special force in the world. Even North Korea, South Korea's old rival, is very afraid of this force.

This special forces group has 12 members, well-equipped and well-trained, and their commander is Lieutenant Colonel Cui Changji.

"Intelligence from the United States, this pirate has 13 members, with light and heavy weapons such as AK-47 and bazooka, and according to my observation, this group of pirates is different from pirates that have seen in other countries before. They are well-trained and must have received strict military training from their deterrence from our deterrence. It can be seen in the confrontation between us and the use of hostages and other advantages in an orderly manner. In addition, Captain Zheng, didn't you find that this group of pirates didn't panic when they met us? They are not ordinary pirates.

The special operations team under the command of Cui Changji did not come from domestic support, but had been carrying out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden. However, most of them usually rested at the base provided by a certain country. This time, he came out with the team to act, but received a domestic order. Unlike in the past, in the past, in order to ensure the safety of hostages and not offend these ferocious pirates as much as possible, they were solved through peaceful negotiations. This time, the superiors ordered him to wipe out this group of pirates and spread the reputation of the special forces of the Republic of Korea all over the world.

To enhance the reputation of the 'sea man-eating shark' special forces, Cui Changji is eager, and the special forces also have their own honor. But he was puzzled by the purpose of the superior's order. Extermination of this group of pirates can enhance the reputation and reputation of South Korean special forces, but it also completely offends Somali pirates. Somali pirates, unlike pirates in other regions, do not kill people and have no other political needs, just for ransom. Such pirates are 'peaceful' pirates, but no matter what, they are all pirates. To survive, pirates must have a place to make their opponents scruples, and bloody revenge against those forces that fight against pirates is an effective means to deter other forces.

Does South Korea want to eat a crab? Not to mention that all South Korean cargo ships passing through here in the future will face retaliation from the navy, even today's Somali political axe will not turn a blind eye to it. South Korea is not the United States and does not have the ability to invest large-scale military forces here. Moreover, South Korea's military strength is only enough to fight against North Korea.

Taking a deep breath, Cui Changji thought of the information provided by U.S. allies. This group of pirates is a group of pirates that has recently emerged from other pirates. There are more than 50 people. At present, they are stationed in Cape Hawong, Somalia. They have many speedboats and high-speed fishing boats, fully armed, and even have some heavy weapons. Moreover, this group of pirates is different from other pirates composed of fishermen and criminals. This group of pirates is obviously military-trained and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.

The other party now has only 13 members. In front of his special forces, it is not worth mentioning, but Cui Changji vaguely felt that this matter was not so simple, and the domestic order seemed to be a little reckless.

"Captain Zheng, I want to postpone the time of the operation, and I hope to get all the movement in this sea area." Cui Changji thought for a while and said straight.

Unlike the dense-minded Cui Changji, Zheng Zaihao is a thorough 'Republic of Koreaist'. In his opinion, except for the United States, South Korea is the strongest in the world. Everything else is not to worry about, and the group of pirates in front of him are like ants. It is easy to eliminate them, but the special The lieutenant colonel seems to be too cautious. The unpleasant thing is that he is as timid as a mouse. In the face of the same number of pirates, as a special forces commander in the Republic of Korea, he actually flinched.
