    Cui Bo fired his third shot, and the tracer bullets landed next to the speedboat, but the speedboat still showed no sign of slowing down. At this time, Grolev immediately fired a round of bullets before Gao Yang could speak.

    Because it is mainly for warning purposes, Grolev's machine gun belt contains a combination of three ordinary bullets and one tracer bullet. Such bullets will form an eye-catching barrage when it lands on the bow of the speedboat.  , after causing a series of splashes, the speedboat finally began to slow down, getting slower and slower, but after the speedboat in the middle slowed down, the other two speedboats showed no intention of slowing down.

    The other two speedboats were already very close to the tanker, which was about three to four hundred meters away. At this time, Cui Bo said loudly: "Are they going to hit the ship?"

    After Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "No ship owner is willing to have a grudge with pirates. They will continue to run this route frequently in the future. We can't cause trouble to them, so we'd better stop attacking the ship first, toad,  Lai, you two go and guard the gangway first. If the pirates want to board the ship, shoot them down. As long as they don't board the ship, don't rush to shoot."

    After arriving in the Gulf of Aden, every captain Gao Yang came into contact with once mentioned to Gao Yang that if it is not necessary, try not to have grudges with pirates. They all often run this route. If they really cause casualties to pirates,  , and formed a deadly feud with the pirates, which is not good news for them.

    There are now dozens of warships escorting the Gulf of Aden. However, although there are many warships, they still seem too few when spread out on the sea. It is simply unrealistic to rely solely on warships to escort the Gulf of Aden. Even if there are currently 10 warships escorting the Gulf of Aden  There are many, but hijacked merchant ships are still common.

    If those merchant ships want to be escorted by warships, they have to apply first and wait to form a large fleet before they can sail with the warships. Although this is safer, it wastes a lot of time and also wastes a lot of time.  You may not always be able to wait for the escort of warships. After all, every country's warships must first ensure the safety of their own country's merchant ships. For example, Panamanian merchant ships can only rely on luck to get escort by warships, so they would rather spend  Pay for an armed escort.

    ¡°But even if there are armed guards, if you form a deadly feud with a pirate, and the pirates will be interested in you from then on, and they will harass you when you have nothing to do, this is something that no merchant ship captain can accept.

    The main reason why merchant ships are still wary of having armed guards, for fear that they will be noticed by pirates, is actually the armed guards.

    In the private armed escort business, British security companies account for more than half of the market share. This is the result of the joining of some security companies in the United States and the Middle East in the past two years. Before this, British security companies accounted for more than half of the private armed escort business.  More than 80% of the armed escort business.

    There are fewer people and more ships, creating a seller's market for private armed escorts. Those British guys called some ship owners together and asked the ship owners to bid. Whoever paid the highest price would be escorted. But even after receiving the money, these British guys  But there is no professional ethics. If the pirates really want to storm the ship at any cost, and they really gain the upper hand, these British security guards will definitely choose to surrender.

    In fact, it cannot be said that those British people have no professional ethics, because when they reach an agreement with the ship owner, they will mention one thing. The first thing they have to ensure is the safety of the security guards, not the safety of the merchant ships. Therefore, those British security guards feel that  When your life is threatened and you are unable to continue fighting, you can choose to surrender, and this is clearly written in the contract, so even if the British choose to surrender, they cannot be said to have violated the contract.

    The pirates are watching under the ship, and the paid armed security guards on the ship may surrender at any time. Who dares to trust such armed guards?

    Although in most cases, pirates will take the initiative to leave if they find that there are armed guards on the ship, there is still no merchant ship that dares to form a deadly feud with the pirates. The reason is very simple. What if those pirates really do it the next time they cross the Gulf of Aden?  They risked their lives, but those armed security guards refused to stay with the pirates to the end. Aren't they still the unlucky ones?

    Now, the commission for a five-person combat team escorting a ship is US$5,000 a day, but the commission for six of them is US$15,000 a day, and this is even after half-split with the security company that cooperates with Gao Yang and the others.  of money received.

    The reason why the pay for the same task is several times different is very simple. It is because Gao Yang and the others are doing the kind of work that absolutely guarantees the safety of merchant ships. British security companies can abandon the escort task at any time when they deem it necessary.  As long as Gao Yang and the others are not dead, they cannot let pirates board the ship. This is why they make so much money.

    CurrentThe problem is that Gao Yang and the others have to defend the ship to the death, and the captain also knows this. But the problem is that the ship may not be protected by Gao Yang and the others next time. The escort team like Gao Yang and the others who defend the merchant ship to the death is still too  Less, the main thing is the British security team that pays to prepare to surrender, and the pirates are hello, me, and everyone. As long as the captain of the merchant ship cannot ensure that he can get armed guards like Gao Yang and others who will fight to the end every time, he will  It is absolutely impossible to form a deadly feud with a pirate.

    Gao Yang must consider his clients and cannot attack pirates casually. But if the pirates really start boarding the ship, there will be nothing to be polite about. They can just beat them to death.

    After Li Jinfang and Frye had secured the position of the main gangway, the two speedboats that had not stopped turned left and right and began to move towards the bow and stern of the oil tanker. The huge oil tanker was moving very slowly.  The pirate's speedboat can completely ignore the speed of the oil tanker.

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

    If the speedboat went around the other side of the tanker, Gao Yang and the others would have to dedicate manpower to look after the other side. Seeing that these pirates ignored the warning and fired, they continued to demonstrate towards them. Gao Yang couldn't help but get angry and said loudly: "  Don¡¯t let them go around and put holes in their boat.¡±

    Cui Bo immediately fired a shot at the speedboat rushing toward the stern. The tracer bullet hit the hull in the middle of the speedboat. After making a hole in the hull, the bullet with almost no attenuation in power penetrated the bottom of the boat again. He just waited a moment.  For a moment, the pirates who discovered that the ship was beginning to take on water immediately began to panic.

    The reason why we hit the speedboat at the stern first is because the tanker also has a gangway on the other side of the stern. Although it is only a spare, it is only three meters away from the water. There is a ladder on the pirate speedboat, and you can board it just by putting up the ladder.  Even if the oil tanker is not afraid of pirates boarding the ship, Gao Yang still wants to save some trouble and the most direct way is to scare those pirates away.

    After a hole was made in the bottom of the ship, the speedboat that circled the stern immediately turned and headed away from the tanker. At this time, Grolev's machine gun also fired, and the speedboat that circled toward the bow of the tanker,  The bow of the ship was hit and sawdust flew straight away. Although it did not hit the part below the waterline, Grolev's shooting finally scared the pirates.

    Cuibo and Grolev's shooting finally caused the speedboats on both sides to start turning and no longer try to go around to the other side of the tanker. However, the pirates did not leave just yet. The speedboat in the middle began to approach the tanker again.  Yes, but the speed is very slow, and there is someone on the speedboat who has been waving a stick.

    Gao Yang asked strangely: "What are these pirates planning to do? Are they trying to negotiate with us?"

    Gao Yang also picked up the binoculars and looked at the speedboat in the middle. Then he was surprised to find that the person standing on the bow seemed to be shouting, waving a white flag in one hand and a stick in the other hand, but the stick  There was a skull at the top. Seeing the skull waving by the man, Gao Yang didn't feel scared, but he just felt a little funny.

    "What are these idiots doing? It's getting more and more interesting. It seems that our opponents belong to the non-mainstream among pirates. Haha, are they planning to use witchcraft to hijack the ship? Or are they planning to surrender?"

    While speaking, Gao Yang fired a shot, and the bullet hit the side of the boat, but the speedboat had no intention of stopping and still moved closer to them firmly.

    Gao Yang thought for a while and let the speedboat approach the tanker. He was just on guard that the seven or eight pirates on board the speedboat would suddenly open fire. When the speedboat was only twenty or thirty meters away from the tanker, the speedboat turned its bow and met the tanker.  They marched together in parallel, and then the black man holding the skull stick put down the white flag, picked up a loudspeaker and roared.

    "We are from the Skeleton Gang. We can let your ship go, but you have to come up with $100,000, otherwise, we will start attacking! I'll give you five minutes, you'd better think about it carefully."

    Although the English spoken by the speaker was very strange, luckily he could understand it. Gao Yang was about to tell the pirate to get lost when he heard Bruce say in a deep voice: "The captain is here."

    Gao Yang turned around and took a look, only to see the captain and a crew member running towards them in a hurry. No wonder he couldn't hear the anxious voice of the liaison officer on the intercom during this time. It turned out that the captain ran over in person.

    In fact, after confirming that he had encountered pirates, the captain began to run to the deck of Gao Yang and the others. However, the tanker was too big. When the pirates arrived at the ship, the captain arrived at Gao Yang and the others, and heard the pirates clearly.  shouting.

    "Gongyang, are you planning to do this? Can you guarantee that pirates will not be allowed to board the ship?"

    The captain of the tanker was an Iranian in his fifties, with a big belly and a fairly calm expression on his face, but his trembling voice still betrayed his emotions. Gao Yang looked at the nervous captain and smiled.  , loudly said: "What we do actually depends on you, sink their ships and kill them all, or scare them away, you choose."
