Chapter 289 First Meeting SML Pirates
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Chen Dong would never believe that the pirates here could be so arrogant.

In the previous life, there were many reports about SML pirates on TV news or newspapers.Especially 10 years ago, this issue was a major and difficult issue in the entire international community.

During that period, the pirates were extremely active. It was only after a period of time that everyone paid attention to it that they lowered their profile a bit, but there were still many people engaged in piracy.

And the time Chen Dong himself was in now happened to be the peak period of SML pirates' activity.

After several twists and turns, a port not far from reaching the Gulf of Aden.

Chen Dong and everyone in the team stood on the deck of the warship. Many of them were shocked when they saw the scene just now with Chen Dong.

While their warship was driving, several speedboats appeared, blatantly passing by their warship, detouring without seeing them at all, it was extremely arrogant.

"Hoe, you said they don't work hard, what kind of pirates are they!"

Chen Dong shook his head, feeling very sorry.

If the world were less criminal, things would be a lot easier for them.

"I think you should ask the captain this question. I used to read books, so I don't know this."

Wu Zhe also shook his head, expressing that he was not clear.

But he paused, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's a coincidence, I just read a book a few days ago and saw a report. It has something to do with the pirates here."

"What report?"

Wu Liuyi who was next to him also came up, and he was also very curious.

He spent more than half of his military service in the regular army, and it can even be said that he spent it in the original 702 compound. For him, these scenes had never been thought of before.

"You may not believe it when you tell it."

Wu Zhe pointed to the waters he just passed by: "It was reported a few days ago that according to the current situation, the SML pirates will be elected as the 2009 Man of the Year by Time Magazine of M Country next year."

"Fuck!"

"What, man of the hour!"

Chen Dong and Wu Liuyi were shocked, especially Wu Liuyi.Although he didn't know what Time Magazine in Country M was, it didn't affect his understanding of the meaning of the phrase "Person of the Year 2009".

And Chen Dong must know the power of Time Weekly. Generally speaking, if he can get selected or be on the cover, it will be enough for a lifetime.

Because those who can be on the cover are all outstanding talents or groups in various fields.

Although it is a distasteful M-country magazine, its influence is indeed great. This cannot be changed. Many people are still proud of being on its cover.

"Yes, according to reports. This year, SML pirates just kidnapped passing ships and demanded ransom from the shipping company. The amount ranged from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. In one year, it has reached almost 3000 million dollars. gone."

"This is just asking for ransom. Some pirates kill people randomly and damage their cargo. In addition to the funds invested by various countries for escort, and the indirect sum, the global loss in 2008 exceeded 200 billion US dollars. Just think about it, What a horrible thing this is."

Wu Zhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

This is also one of the main reasons why he is inspired to join the army. It is a bit ashamed to say it. His dream is world peace.

"More than 200 billion? U.S. dollars? That's not more than 1000 billion Chinese currency?"

Chen Dong was drooling as he listened, although in his previous life he was just a wage earner who had just graduated from college, the funds he had spent in this life was more money for the establishment of a special commando team.

But no more than [-] million!
If the more than 1000 billion is invested in the military, especially in building special brigades, how many excellent troops can be established.

You know, this year, Hua Guo's military spending is more than 4000 billion Hua Guoyuan, and this 4000 billion is used for all troops...

Only when he is a playboy, can Chen Dong understand the importance of money to the army.

"Haha, stop drooling, Ha Lazi has seen it."

"You don't want to be a pirate!"

At this time, Yuan Lang came over with a smile and patted him on the shoulder.

"What are you talking about, I'm just feeling emotional, I didn't expect pirates to make so much money now."

Chen Dong laughed.

"Oh, you! Don't look at them making money, it's actually forced by life."

Yuan Lang sighed deeply: "Do you know why there are so many pirates here?"

"do not know."

Chen Dong shook his head lightly, it seemed that Yuan Lang was going to talk, and Wu Zhe and Wu Liuyi who were beside him also came closer, wanting to hear the reason.

"It is rare for ordinary people to encounter pirates in their lifetime. Therefore, when mentioning pirates, the images that come to mind are probably images created by movies or literary works: full of oil, smell of wine, stepping on a wooden prosthetic leg, full of foul language, An old sailor with a fiery temper and smoking powder in his beard."

"Actually, this is a misunderstanding. Strictly speaking, modern pirates can also be regarded as "businessmen", but they do illegal business."

"And the shipowner is also a businessman. When a pirate robs a ship, as long as he is willing to negotiate the price, the conditions are easy to negotiate. The most fearful thing is that the transaction will turn into a gun battle, especially if there are casualties. It will wake up the insurance company and adjust the marine insurance premium to The price is sky-high. The increase in insurance premiums is actually more worthwhile than the ransom.”

"It is also the psychology of grasping the shipowners, coupled with the unique geographical location of the sea area of ​​​​SML, is the most convenient way for Asia to go to Africa, or return to Europe."

"The surrounding countries, especially SML, have poor domestic economy and frequent riots. In order to turn themselves over and become pirates, poor people pay a one-ticket ransom, which is enough to buy a house, buy a luxury car, and live a life of superiority. There will be more people."

"The biggest disease in the world is a poor word."

Yuan Lang has previous experience in performing missions at sea, so he has seen pirates, and he has a deep understanding of this aspect.

A person, if poor and afraid.

Really can do anything.

"No, Captain."

After hearing this, Chen Dong thought for a moment: "I have also studied the map of this sea area. Although it is true that the canal is closer, it is also possible to take a detour. The cost of detours must be less than paying the ransom. Why don't they sail by detours? "

"The captain should be referring to the profit-seeking nature of businessmen! Horses don't eat dangerous grass and don't get fat?"

Wu Zhe also thought about it, looked up at him and said.

"Yo, as expected of a master's degree, I reacted so quickly. I also changed the original words, so I can use what I have learned."

Yuan Lang glanced at Wu Zhe with a smile. This sentence was originally called "A horse is not fat without night grass, and a man is not rich without external wealth."

Not to mention, being changed by Wu Zhe in this way still tastes like this.

Seeing that Chen Dong still didn't understand, Yuan Lang continued, "Tie Hammer, you still have learned too little, and you underestimate businessmen, especially foreign businessmen."

"Businessmen are profiting, so naturally they have other plans. According to statistics, only one of every 600 cargo ships will be robbed and pay the ransom. The chance is one in sixty percent. For businessmen, this chance is worth a fight. , there is no need to detour and increase costs.”

"If it were you, would you be willing to increase the cost and detour, or insist on taking this potentially dangerous shortcut?"

Without even thinking about it, Chen Dong replied directly: "Then of course I chose to take a shortcut."

As soon as the words were finished, Yuan Lang and Wu Zhe all looked at Chen Dong with great interest, and their eyes were saying, that's it.

"Hey, it's still money!"

Chen Dong looked at the seemingly calm sea in front of him, but the turbulent waves behind him were beyond his imagination.

And according to the news from the superiors, the intelligence department will soon be able to obtain the latest information, that is to say, their actions will soon be organized.
