industrial overlord

Chapter 634

Alamo, a seaside village in Somalia.

Leaf sat alone on a big rock at the entrance of the village, staring at the sea in a daze. His forehead was wrapped with gauze, which was the wound caused by the beer bottle thrown by He Lan.Five days had passed since the attempted hijacking, and he still hadn't recovered from that life-and-death fight.

The profession of pirate sounds bloody, but after he became a pirate, he realized that being a pirate is actually very easy, even a very gentle thing.Every time they rushed towards the freighter with weapons in hand and speedboats, the crew on the freighter would immediately give in.Having been a pirate for so many years, he has never encountered real resistance, so he has never killed a single person. The word "bloody" really has nothing to do with him.

However, this experience shocked him. Facing more than a dozen pirates armed with AK47 and RPG, these unarmed Chinese sailors actually chose to resist.All they had in their hands were homemade Molotov cocktails, fire water guns, rope throwers, smoke pipes for emergency use, and beer bottles, but with these things, they successfully prevented Leaf and others from controlling the entire cargo ship, Eventually a rescue helicopter arrived.

As soon as Liv closed his eyes, he could think of the beautiful Chinese woman who hit Liv's head with a beer bottle.Reeve remembers pulling the trigger on the RPG subconsciously, and the rocket hit the freighter's living platform.Was that woman killed by herself?
In addition to the lingering fear of this thrilling battle, Liv also thought of a worrying thing.The European broker paid him $5 in advance to hijack the ship, and the negotiated condition was that the ship should be detained on the coast of the Gulf of Aden for at least 15 days.However, I messed up the matter. After the French warship arrived, the ship did not stop and continued to the Red Sea.

If I fail to complete the work, will the Europeans come to claim back the original deposit?Leaf desperately recalled where the $5 went. He remembered spending more than $2 on speedboats and weapons, but he didn't know where the rest of the money went.All he could recall was that he and his minions got drunk every day, and then went for a drive on the sea... How could such entertainment cost 2 US dollars?
"Oh, it really doesn't work, just renege on the debt, the money has already been spent, what else can he do?" Liv secretly thought in his heart, the Europeans are indeed powerful, but they will send an army for a mere matter of 5 US dollars Come to this little village of the Alamo where birds don't lay eggs?
It is impossible for them to send an army to land here... Liv comforted himself in this way, he raised his head and looked towards the sea, as if wanting to confirm his guess.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, I saw that three motor speedboats really appeared on the sea less than 1 kilometer away from him.Before Liv recovered, the speedboat had already landed on the shore, and a dozen men masked in black cloth and armed to the teeth jumped off the speedboat and rushed towards Liv with guns in their hands.

not good!

There was a buzzing in Liv's mind, and he stood up subconsciously, wanting to run to the village, but he couldn't move his feet anyway.At this moment, he was really frightened and paralyzed.

"%￥@&..." A deep voice rang in Leaf's ears. The person spoke an unknown language, and Leve couldn't understand it, but instinctively, he knew that the other party was issuing a warning to him.Judging by the skin color of the other's bare arms, these people should be Latin American.When he was a soldier under the warlord, he once saw a military adviser invited by the warlord from Latin America. That adviser's complexion was like this, with a bit of brown.

Liv didn't know that the person in front of him was Johannes, a gangster in Bolivia, South America.Leaf, a pirate, is only an amateur player, while Johannes is a real professional player. It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a murderer without blinking an eye.

This time, Johannes received an invitation from Lan Wufeng to do something in Africa. Of course, the price offered by Lan Wufeng was also very considerable.From Lan Wufeng's original intention, he didn't expect Johannes to go out in person, but this man was tired of staying in Latin America and wanted to come out for a change of air, and second, he wanted to show Lan Wufeng his importance.He knew that Lan Wufeng was a rich patron, and he could help him get some good goods in the international arms market, so he was worth making friends with.

Seeing Liv's befuddled look, Johannes waved to the people next to him, and a temporarily hired black translator stepped forward and said to Liv: "Don't move around, our boss asks you, is this Allah?" Mo Village?"

"Here..." Although Liv's IQ is not high, he can guess that this group of people is definitely targeting him.Alamo Village is not a well-known place. It does not produce gold, diamonds, or beauties. The only specialty is pirates, and the only angry thing he and his gang of pirates have done is the robbery of Hanyuan No. 4 ship last week. evil deeds.

However, Liv didn't think of the ship owner seeking revenge. These cheap lives of pirates are really not worth thinking about by those rich and powerful ship owners.He thought that this group of people must have been sent by European brokers. Nima, for the $5 thing, are you worth mobilizing so many people?I didn't say I wouldn't pay back the money, did I?

"Is it really?"

Johannes grew impatient, and asked again with emphasis, and when the black translator translated it, he didn't even change his tone.

"Yes, sir, may I ask..." Liv dared not deny that a village was here, and he couldn't deny it. He tried his best to soften his tone, trying to get close to the other party.

"There is a pirate leader named Liv, do you know him?" Johannes interrupted Liv and continued to ask.

"I..." Liv didn't know whether to admit it or not. People calling his name came to the door. It must be a bad person. But, is it okay not to admit it?
"Sir, Leaf... is a very common name. There are more than a dozen named Leves in our village. Can you tell me his characteristics?" Leaf answered in a clever way.

"His head should have been injured a few days ago," Johannes said, which Lan Wufeng told him by phone when he got off the plane in Djibouti.After saying this, Johannes fixed his eyes on Liv's head, looking at the gauze wrapped around his head, a ferocious smile appeared on Johannes' face.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are the pirate leader Liv, right?" Johannes asked.

"Sir, I think... there may be a little misunderstanding between us." Liv knew that he couldn't hide, until now, he still thought that the other party was sent by the European broker to ask for money, but he just didn't understand. How did you get the news of his head injury?
"I don't think it's a misunderstanding." Johannes snorted coldly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.The bandits behind him got the signal from the boss, and rushed forward with one stride.Liv still wanted to explain a few words, but saw a few carbines being used as maces, swung round and slammed at him.

"Ow!"

Leaf howled like a wolf cub. The South American gangsters really didn't come out of it. They were extremely vicious. In just a few seconds, one arm and one leg of Leve were broken, and two ribs were broken.The majestic pirate before had turned into a poor uncle rolling around.

"Sir, sir, I really tried my best. The crew on that ship was too strong, and we couldn't attack. I will definitely return all the money you gave me..." Liv lay at Johannes' feet, crying bitterly Runny to beg for forgiveness.

"Money?" Johannes was taken aback. This was something he hadn't thought of beforehand. Could it be that this attack was not an ordinary robbery by pirates, but someone was paying for it?
Johannes, who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, of course knows the value of this information. He immediately told his subordinates: "Let him tell, who told him to rob the Chinese ships, and don't miss any details."

It was too easy to pry Liv's mouth open. Before the gangsters could torture him, Liv confessed all about how the mysterious European would hire him to rob the ship if he found him. Out.As for the members of the pirates who participated in the robbery that day, Leaf confessed all of them very dishonestly. In his opinion, everyone shared the blessings, and naturally they had to share the hardships.

According to Liv's confession, Johannes' men rushed into the village murderously and began to search for the pirate members door by door.Like Liv, most of the pirates had never personally participated in a war with live ammunition. In front of these South American gangsters, they did not dare to resist at all.

There was only one pirate who hid at home and fired a shot at the bandit who came to his house, whether it was because of his mental illness or his stubborn nature.This enraged the gangsters. Without further ado, they threw two high-explosive grenades at the thatched house, and then the thatched house was blown to pieces together with the pirate's family.

"Are they all here?" Johannes asked Liv, looking at the dozen or so pirates tied up in a row.

"It's all here." Liv replied timidly.

"Now do you know why we're here?" Johannes asked.

No matter how stupid Liv was, he understood what was going on, and he replied with a bitter face: "I see, sir, you are here to avenge those Chinese."

"You're right." Johannes said with a chuckle, "Let me tell you, you have offended someone you shouldn't, so you must be punished."

"Sir, what punishment are you talking about..." Liv asked.

"You'll know," said Johannes.

At this time, Johannes' subordinates had already driven out all the people in the village with their guns in hand, and they stood noisily aside.Johannes called the black interpreter over and told him to address the whole village:

"Guys, I think you should know what happened the other day. These gentlemen in your village attacked a ship at sea that shouldn't be attacked. Yes, it was a Chinese freighter. I hope all of you Remember, in the waters of the Gulf of Aden, if anyone dares to attack a Chinese freighter, there is only one end for him, and that is death!"

"No!" Liv yelled in despair, he had already been beaten up by the gangsters, and he thought the matter was over like this, but who would have expected that the other party would still want their lives.

But it was too late, the gangsters took a few steps back, and the automatic weapons in their hands rang.Amidst the screams of women and children in the village, a group of pirates headed by Liv rolled and fell to the ground. Each of them was shot dozens of times, and their blood flowed into a stream.

"Let's go!" Johannes waved his hand smartly, and led his men towards the beach as if no one else was there, boarded the motor speedboat they left there, and quickly disappeared into the vast sea.As for how the people in Alamo Village cried and wiped away their tears, that was not their concern.According to Johannes' original idea, he wanted to wipe out the entire village, but Lan Wufeng told him that it was only necessary to punish the murderers, and there was no need to hurt innocent people.

The news that Leif's gang was massacred by a group of outsiders quickly spread throughout the villages along the coast of Somalia.No way, this incident is really appalling. First, pirates from nearby villages came to inquire about the news, and then reporters from some unknown place also came after hearing the news. The bloody photos of Liv and others were posted on the local Somali website. Newspapers made a fuss all of a sudden.

Somalia is a country with frequent wars, and it is nothing new to die a few people.But this time the situation is completely different. Everyone revolves around a news point, that is, these people were retaliated against for robbing a Chinese merchant ship.According to the people in Alamo Village, the murderers left wild words, saying that as long as they dare to rob Chinese ships, they must end up like this.

"Zhenhua, you made us very passive."

In a sea view hotel in Aden, Chen Tian held a newspaper and said to Lin Zhenhua with a bitter face.In that newspaper, the long news about the massacre of Liv and others was being published, and there were even commentary articles condemning the indiscriminate killing of innocent people by the Chinese and sending armed men to invade Somali territory.

Lin Zhenhua was holding another newspaper in his hand, and the news on it was the same. He smiled and said to Chen Tian: "Chen Ju, you are wronging a good person. You see, I have been taking care of Lan Lan these days. Where are you?" Leaving Yemen? You can’t blame me for everything, can you?”

"Don't think that I don't know what Lan Wufeng has done for you." Chen Tian said, his wife Qi Yue is Lan Wufeng's immediate boss, and there is no reason for Chen Tian not to know what Lan Wufeng has done. ?Besides, the information about Li Fu was investigated by Chen Tian's subordinates, and he personally handed it over to Lin Zhenhua.What Lin Zhenhua did with these information, Chen Tian could guess with his toes.

"Blood debts, I've said it a long time ago." Lin Zhenhua said lightly, "If it wasn't for fear of bad international influence, I would have personally slaughtered those monkey cubs."

"If you do this now, aren't you afraid of bad international influence?" Chen Tian asked back.

Lin Zhenhua said: "They can go to investigate. There is not a single Chinese person to handle the matter. Why should this matter be blamed on the Chinese?"

Chen Tiandao: "The murderers made it very clear that this is an act of revenge to punish Li Fu and others for robbing Hanyuan No. 4 ship."

"What if they framed it? What if international friends took the initiative out of deep friendship to the Chinese people? Who sees with which eye that this matter is related to the Chinese?" Lin Zhenhua said impassionedly.

Chen Tian shook his head and said: "I have to say, you have considered this matter quite carefully, and you didn't let our people do it yourself from the beginning to the end. I was really worried at the beginning that you would bring Hanhua's workers to fight in groups , or let Lan Wufeng's educated youth troops go to fight."

"Chen Bureau, do you know what mercenaries are? It's the 21st century now, how can we let our people take risks?" Lin Zhenhua said proudly.

Chen Tiandao: "Even so, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the incident was definitely supported by the Chinese. Twenty people were killed in one go, and three of them were family members of the pirates, who were not directly involved in the crime. This method is indeed a bit cruel, and the international community is also very indignant about it, and the spearhead of international public opinion is directed at China."

Lin Zhenhua said: "I just want to kill people and make the Somali pirates detour when they see Chinese ships. As for what the international public opinion says, they have no evidence anyway, so let our embassy abroad issue a solemn statement to protest against those Chinese ships. Irresponsible guesses are fine. Besides, a country that has not been protested by others, do you have the nerve to say that you are one of the five permanent members of the United Nations?"

"What nonsense!" Chen Tian scolded, "The peaceful image we have worked so hard to create has been completely ruined by your impulsive impulse."

"Peace-loving?" Lin Zhenhua smiled, "Will anyone believe it? Also, will someone talk to you about peace because you love peace?"

"Forget it, forget it, the matter has already been done anyway, so it's useless to say anything else. I shouldn't have helped you find pirate information for you." Chen Tian said. Lin Zhenhua's move is quite agreeable.He is an official within the system, so it is naturally inconvenient for him to mess around like Lin Zhenhua.Lin Zhenhua is in a business, and Lan Wufeng, who lives overseas, is the one who handles the matter. No one can find out what's wrong with him.

Chen Tian himself admitted that Lin Zhenhua's method of killing people and establishing his prestige should be effective. People who are good are deceived by others, and horses who are good are ridden by others. After this incident, the safety factor of Chinese merchant ships passing through the Gulf of Aden should be increased several times Alright.

"By the way, Zhenhua, you said that your friends got a piece of information from Liv, saying that Liv came prepared to attack Hanyuan No. 4 this time. Do you have more detailed information?" Chen Tian changed the subject, asked Lin Zhenhua.

Lin Zhenhua handed the information faxed by Johannes to Chen Tian, ​​and said: "According to Liv's confession, a European broker gave him 5 dollars to attack Hanyuan No. Stay in the Gulf of Aden for at least 4 days. It looks like this is a trick of one of our commercial competitors."
