Chapter 218

Cui Bo fired the third shot, and the tracer bullet landed next to the speedboat, but the speedboat still showed no sign of slowing down. At this time, groliov immediately shot a shuttle without waiting for Gao Yang to speak.

Because it is mainly based on warning, groliov's machine gun bullet chain is a combination of three ordinary bullets and one tracer bullet. Such bullets hit a striking bullet curtain. After the bullet curtain fell on the bow of the speedboat and aroused a series of spray, the speedboat finally began to slow down, and the speed became slower and slower, but after the speedboat in the middle slowed down, The other two speedboats had no intention of slowing down.

The other two speedboats were already very close to the oil tanker, that is, three or four hundred meters. At this time, Cui Bo said loudly, "are you going to hit the ship?"

After hesitating for a moment, Gao Yang still said in a deep voice: "which ship owner doesn't want to get angry with the pirates. People will often run this route in the future. We can't make trouble for people, or don't hit the ship first. Toad and Frye, you two go to the gangway first. If the pirates want to get on the ship, shoot them down. As long as they don't get on the ship, don't rush to shoot."

After coming to the Gulf of Aden, every captain Gao Yang has contacted has mentioned to Gao Yang that if it is not necessary, try not to get angry with pirates. They often run this route. If they really cause casualties to pirates and have a dead feud with pirates, it is not good news for them.

There are dozens of warships, large and small, escorting in the Gulf of Aden, but although there are many warships, it still seems too few to scatter into the sea. It is unrealistic to rely on warships alone. Even if there are many warships escorting in the Gulf of Aden, hijacked merchant ships are still common.

If those merchant ships want to be escorted by warships, they can only apply first and wait to form a large ship team before they can sail with warships. However, although it is safe to do so, it wastes a lot of time, and they may not be able to wait for the escort of warships every time. After all, the warships of any country must first ensure the safety of their own merchant ships, For example, Panamanian merchant ships can only be escorted by warships by chance, so they prefer to pay for armed escorts.

But even if there is an armed escort, the captain of any merchant ship can't accept it if he has a dead enemy with the pirates and is remembered by the pirates. If he has nothing to do, he will harass him.

The main reason why merchant ships have armed guards is that they are still worried that they will be remembered by pirates. In fact, the armed guards are the main reason.

The market share of private armed escort business is more than half that of British security companies, which is the result of the accession of some security companies in the United States and the Middle East in recent two years. Before that, British security companies accounted for more than 80% of private armed escort business.

There are fewer people and more ships, creating a seller's market for private armed escort. The Brits gathered some ship owners together and asked them to bid for the escort who gives the highest price. However, even if they charge money, these Britons have no professional ethics. If pirates really want to attack the ship without sparing the price, they do have the upper hand, These British security guards must choose to surrender.

In fact, it can not be said that those British people have no professional ethics, because when they reach an agreement with the ship owner, they will mention that the first thing they need to ensure is the safety of the security guard's life, not the safety of the merchant ship. Therefore, when those British security guards feel that their life is threatened and they can't continue to fight, they can choose to surrender, And this is clearly written in the contract, so even if the British choose to surrender, they can't say they violate the contract.

Pirates are eyeing under the ship, and the armed security guards who have collected money on the ship may surrender at any time. Who can rest assured of such an armed guard?

Although in most cases, if pirates find that there are armed guards on board, they will take the initiative to leave, but no merchant ship dares to make a dead enemy with the pirates. The reason is very simple. In case those pirates really want to die when they cross the Gulf of Aden next time, but those armed security guards refuse to accompany the pirates to the end, aren't they the unlucky ones.

Now a five person combat team escorting with the ship has a commission of $5000 a day, but Gao Yang's six people have a commission of $15000 a day, and this is the money obtained after half sharing with the security company with Gao Yang.

The reason why the remuneration for the same task varies several times is very simple. It is because Gaoyang's job is to absolutely ensure the safety of merchant ships. British security companies can give up the escort task at any time when they think it necessary, and Gaoyang can't let pirates on board as long as they are not dead. That's why they earn more money.

The problem now is that Gao Yang and his crew have to protect the ship, and the captain knows this, but the problem is that the ship may not be protected by Gao Yang next time. There are still too few escort teams for merchant ships like Gao Yang. The main thing is the British security team that takes money and is ready to surrender and hello to pirates, As long as the captain of the merchant ship can't ensure that he can get the armed escort who praises them to the end every time, he will never be able to form a death feud with the pirates.

Gao Yang must consider for his customers. He can't attack those pirates casually, but if the pirates really start boarding, there's nothing polite. Just fight to death.

After Li JinFang and Frye held the position of the main gangway, the two non-stop speedboats turned left and right and began to go towards the bow and stern of the oil tanker. The speed of the huge oil tanker was very slow, and the pirate speedboats could completely ignore the speed of the oil tanker.

At this time, Gao Yang could clearly see the people on the speedboat. They were waving AK rifles in their hands, and others were holding machetes, shouting and yelling at Gao Yang's dancing and dancing.

If the speedboat goes around the other side of the tanker, Gao Yang and his crew will have to take care of the other side. It's OK to see these pirates ignore the warning and shoot. Gao Yang has been demonstrating towards them. Gao Yang is angry and shouted, "don't let them go around and make a few holes in their ship."

Cui Bo immediately shot at the speedboat heading towards the stern. The tracer bullet hit the side in the middle of the speedboat. After a hole was made in the side, the bullet with almost no attenuation hit the bottom of the boat again. Just wait a moment, and the pirates who found that the ship began to water immediately began to panic.

The reason why we first hit the stern speedboat is that the tanker has a gangway on the other side of the stern. Although it is only for standby, it is only three meters away from the water surface. There is a ladder on the pirate speedboat. As long as you take the ladder, you can board the tanker. Even if you are not afraid of Pirates boarding, Gao Yang still wants to save some things and scare away the pirates directly.

After a hole was made in the bottom of the ship, the speedboat around the stern immediately turned and headed away from the oil tanker. At this time, groliov's machine gun also rang. On the speedboat around the bow of the oil tanker, the sawdust flew directly at the bow. Although it did not hit below the waterline, groliov's shooting finally frightened the pirates.

The shooting of Cui Bo and groliov finally made the speedboats on both sides turn and no longer try to circle to the other side of the tanker, but the pirates did not leave. The speedboat in the middle began to approach the tanker again, but the speed was very slow, and there was a stick waving on the speedboat.

Gao Yang said strangely, "what are these pirates going to do? Are they going to negotiate with us?"

Gao Yang also picked up the telescope and looked at the speedboat in the middle. Then he was surprised to find that the man standing at the bow seemed to be shouting. He waved a white flag in one hand and a stick in the other hand, but the top of the stick was a skull. Seeing the skull waved by the man, Gao Yang was not afraid, but just felt a little funny.

"What are these idiots doing? It's becoming more and more interesting. It seems that our opponent belongs to the non mainstream of pirates. Ha ha, are they going to hijack the ship with witchcraft? Or are they going to surrender?"

As he spoke, Gao Yang fired a shot and the bullet hit the side of the boat, but the speedboat didn't mean to stop, but firmly leaned towards them.

Gao Yang thought about it and let the speedboat approach the oil tanker, just in case seven or eight pirates on the speedboat would suddenly shoot. When the speedboat was only twenty or thirty meters away from the oil tanker, the speedboat turned its bow and advanced parallel with the oil tanker. Then the black man with a skeleton stick put down the white flag, picked up a loudspeaker and roared.

"We're from the skeleton gang. We can let go of your ship, but you have to pay 100000 dollars, or we'll start attacking! You'd better think it over in five minutes."

Although the English in the speaker's mouth is very strange, he can understand it. Gao Yang is trying to tell the pirate to let them go. At this time, Bruce whispers, "the captain is coming."

Gao Yang looked around, but saw that the captain and a crew were running towards them in a hurry. No wonder he couldn't hear the anxious voice of the liaison in the walkie talkie during this period. It turned out that the captain ran over in person.

In fact, after confirming that he met the pirates, the captain began to run to Gaoyang's deck, but the tanker was too large. When the pirates came to the side of the ship, the captain just rushed to Gaoyang's side and heard the pirate's cry clearly.

"Ram, are you going to do this? You can promise not to let pirates on board, right?"

The captain of the oil tanker was an Iranian in his fifties, with a big belly and a calm expression on his face, but some trembling voices betrayed his mood. He looked up at the nervous captain, smiled and said loudly: "what we do actually depends on you. Sink their ship, kill them all, or scare them away. You choose."
