Chapter 434 Pirate Warning
The next day, when Wu Han went to Victoria, there was no place in his muscles that were not painful, and he even had difficulty walking. Lan Hua and Mi Wu helped her onto the boat. Li Qi said, "Look, after a day of exercise, your return rate has reached 90%. You have successfully become the focus of the crowd. Come on, stick to it."
Wu Han gritted his teeth: "Yeah!"
The older the older the child, the younger the child, all of them are cheated on.
The Victoria is docked near the sea, and you can take a small cruise ship to the ship. After a few people boarded the ship, they faced very strict security checks. Strict security checks will not make people feel disgusted. Only unfair security checks will make people feel disgusted. This is obviously a good thing for Victoria. Whether it is officials or errands, they all conduct security checks equally.
When scanning Li Qi's whole body, Li Qi saw a young blonde man on one side. Li Qi intuitively told himself that this was a bodyguard. Judging from his position, he was a bodyguard in the cruise ship, not someone's bodyguard. If we infer this way, the cruise ship hired certain personnel and may have certain firepower. According to necessity, it is most likely that it is to face Somali pirates. In other words, there is a hidden armed force on the cruise ship that can fight against Somali pirates composed of at least two speedboats.
As for pirates, Somali pirates are relatively kind. They seized ships and personnel, did not infringe on personnel, and provided enough food and water. The truly brutal pirates were Southeast Asian pirates. The Southeast Asian financial crisis was the most rampant years in Southeast Asia. According to official figures, 234 Southeast Asian pirate attacks were 182 attacks in 2004. Most of them occurred in the Strait of Malacca. In July 2004, under the intervention of the United States, several countries in Malacca temporarily gave up their territorial disputes and overcome the issue of sovereignty in the seas when pursuing pirates. Jointly began to encircle and suppress pirates on a large scale. Only one attack occurred after July.
But the pirates of Malacca slowly moved to the South China Sea. According to the International Maritime Bureau, in June 2010, six ships were attacked in the South China Sea, one of which was a Chinese oil products transport ship. Some fishermen said that the pirates in the South China Sea were very cunning, and they often wore uniforms to board the ship for inspection. Then they would select some valuable cargo and said they were smuggled goods to be taken away. Foreign experts have researched that most of the pirates in the South China Sea are veterans, and some are even active-duty soldiers. Many of the perpetrators of the armed robbery of Chinese fishing boats and freighters in the South China Sea were the military and police of a certain country. Although all countries have investments, they are unable to do so in the face of more than 10,000 islands and 81,000 kilometers of coastline, and limited anti-pirate investment.
Southeast Asian pirates are divided into three types. The first is 4-10 people who pretend to be police or soldiers, board the ship to rob or ask for property and leave. The second is a criminal gang with more than 30 people. They have ships, bases, and reliable sources of intelligence. They attack and kidnap high-value personnel by force and blackmail the country. The third is the most brutal pirates who are close to terrorists. They hijack ships and kill all the crew members. They drive ships to secret places and paint them, change the ship names, and register them as ghost ships. The ships are sold together with goods. The second and third are similar to modern business organization structures. They have subordinate branches and employees everywhere. Some gangs fight together and use machine guns, rockets and other weapons with extremely lethality.
Now from the South China Sea to Malacca, small fish and shrimps have basically been wiped out. Most of the active ones are large pirate groups. In 2011, 112 pirate attacks occurred in Southeast Asia. Among them, 15 attempts were attempted. The International Maritime Bureau issued a report in 2011 that three pirate groups with more than 100 armed personnel were occupied by small and medium-sized ships. There are currently no reports of attacks against cruise ships. However, in the past few years, American cruise ships with 160 crew members and 600 tourists were attacked by grenades, rockets, machine guns and rifles in this area.
The most famous cruise ship offensive and defensive battle was the 20-minute fierce firefight between Italian cruise ship mercenaries and pirates in 2009.
Lanhua helped Wu Han and followed the crew to his room and whispered: "Consultant, it's not right."
"how?"
"The bodyguards of the cruise ship are observing passengers on board. Somali pirates will not send people to board the ship. But Southeast Asian pirates are not like this. According to the information, they can board the ship through the identity of seafarers. Judging from this posture, it is more like a cruise ship has received some news and is checking passengers who are boarding the ship."
Li Qi said: "This possibility is not ruled out, especially for gambling ships, which are very good. However, it is still difficult for pirates to rob a thousand-person cruise ship."
Wu Han's room is on the top floor, with a total of forty rooms on the top floor. Except for the captain's outdoor, it is mostly for luxury tourists. Even so, the room is not big. It is barely larger than the standard suites of Samsung hotels. The layout of the room is the same, one master bedroom has a large bed, two auxiliary bedrooms have four medium beds, and a 20-square-meter living room. However, the air conditioning, refrigerator and other appliances on the boat are all complete. The only regret is that the Internet is surfing. The Internet is 10 US dollars per hour.
Of course Mi Wu would not be the sucker. She and Lan Hua threw Wu Han on the bed and started stealing the net. Soon, Mi Wu said: "The consultant and general consultant sent an email saying that there was an unconfirmed rumor that the "Big Road" criminal group among the three major pirates in Southeast Asia will likely attack the Victoria. The International Maritime Agency has warned Victoria that it hopes it can change its itinerary and not go south to the Strait of Malacca."
"Ha, I was really guessed by Lanhua." Li Qi said: "Tell Dog Xuan: Gambling personnel mostly use credit cards to buy chips, and there are many ships. I think the cruise ship may be attacked, but it is difficult to rob the cruise ship and it takes a long time. Once the warning is made, nearby troops will arrive immediately, and it is more troublesome to get out." This is the reason why Southeast Asian pirates love small and medium-sized boats. A large cruise ship will be exhausted from running from one end to the other.
"The general counsel said he also believes that the possibility of a full sack of the cruise ship is not high. But he suspects that the 'Big Road' pirates are not targeting the sacking of the ship, but kidnapping someone on the ship."
"This is very likely." Li Qi nodded and sent a few spies to infiltrate. Then the pirate attacked head-on to attract the attention of the cruise ship. Then the spy put someone on a life jacket and threw it into the sea. Hum? Is there such a value on the cruise ship? This may really be. Most of the tourists who can travel around the world and live in first-class cabins are retired, rich and time-honored. It is said that Southeast Asian pirates have the shadow of terrorists...
"The general counsel said that he contacted an acquaintance in the Maritime Bureau. Based on the current information, he speculated that it was likely that he would hire kidnapping together."
Kidnapping is much more difficult than killing a person. Especially those who enjoy security conditions are basically impossible to be kidnapped. Because kidnapping is an action that requires a continuous violent process. If a person enjoys high-level security in the country, it is almost impossible to kidnap him. But if he goes abroad to kidnap, the actual security force will be reduced. The success rate of kidnapping is relatively increased.
Lanhua asked: "Can it be Zhang Daotian?"
"No, I'm a revenge person who will cause trouble for him. You don't need to kidnap him, just kill him. It's not our order, because Wu Han doesn't have such a big value. Su Electric Appliances has certain possibilities, after all, it's too much money. But kidnapping him and extorting ransom is low, and the transaction is not cost-effective. If it's high, it will be tracked internationally and it's difficult to clean it. And one thing to note is that if Dog Xuan infers that hiring pirates is correct, the employer shouldn't have come to make money."
Lanhua nodded: "I seem to smell the terrorism."
Is there a terrorist smell? Li Qi is not sure. Moreover, the information is very vague at present. Xun Xuan's inference is to establish the conclusions drawn from the thin data round after round of inferences. It seems that it is necessary to get passenger information quickly, not only to find out the identity of a mysterious person, but also to avoid joining a potential chaos. Pirates are not that simple, sometimes involving national diplomacy and military affairs. For example, in 2004, pirates in Southeast Asia were rampant, and the United States and Japan tried to intervene. Somali pirates were rampant, and dozens of countries sent navies to Somalia to curb pirates. But these countries drove away the pirates. They said something on the surface, and said secretly that they would kill all the pirates, and you have no reason to stay there. Li Qi did not care about these messy reasons. A principle: If he threatened himself, his companions and employers' safety, he would not be avoided.
Someone knocked outside the door, and Li Qi opened the door. Zhao Yun said outside the door: "Brother is here." After that, he left.
"..." Li Qi resisted the impulse of pk Zhao Yun closing the door. He asked others to do things, but he had to suffer some temper. But as a well-educated person, he should be modest and polite when helping friends. How could he be so rude? Unfortunately, this person is not easy to beat. The two of them are so frustrated.
Look at the map of Victoria, there are leisure teahouses on the stern, casinos in the main hall, as well as performance halls, exhibition halls, bath centers, restaurants... It is said that an art auction will be held on the boat. Every few days, the boat will be anchored and everyone can fish and dive. It is also said that there are several diving enthusiasts on the boat, who will dive in different parts of the world and make a documentary.
Lan Hua pressed her ear and said, "Consultant, Zhang Daotian has boarded the boat."
"You go and do your business." Li Qi nodded.
Lanhua nodded and left, and Mi Wu asked: "Can Lanhua be trusted?"
"You can trust to do good things, but you can't trust to do bad things." Li Qi said: "I have a premonition that the mysterious man is probably still on the boat."
About ten minutes later, the first class waiter arrived. She registered her passport according to the procedures and handled the procedures. She was concerned about asking whether she was comfortable or not, and what additional requirements were required. Then there was the choice of meals. The service here was limited by hardware, but the waiter said that she would meet the various requirements of the passengers as much as possible. Of course, most of them were charged. For example, if you want to relieve the fire and find a woman or a man, there were even if you were lazy to go out, the casino could also install on-site gambling videos to allow you to participate in gambling in your room.
