Chapter 350
Somane, Port Crester, a peaceful scene of calm and busyness, the locals simply can't believe that they have lived a good life under the leadership of pirates that they never dreamed of!
This change began a few months ago....
Somane is located on the easternmost horn-shaped peninsula of the African continent, bordered by the Gulf of Aden to the north, the Indian Ocean to the east, Kaysiah and Erbina to the west, and Girsti to the northwest. The total land area is 620,000 square kilometers, but the coastline is extremely long, 3,200 kilometers long.
Known as the "Horn of Africa", Somane is rich in spices and has long been a colony of Western powers, and before the 17th century BC, Somalia established the "Bobt" state. In 1941, Somane became a colony of small Britain. In 1965, after a long and tortuous journey, Somane finally established a state.
Because the Western powers adopted the policy of "arming the locals and suppressing the locals" during the period of Somane's partition and colonization, huge social and ethnic contradictions have accumulated for a long time, and after the establishment of independence, Somane has been in a state of anarchy with armed division by warlords. Sostner, located in the northwest, and the four states (provinces) southwest of the central part were all de facto independent, ignoring the central government of Somane.
Such a chaotic country, as well as the harsh natural conditions in Somane, naturally made those desperate to survive choose to take risks and choose the profession of pirate, which seemed to be a bit "money", so that the important commercial waterway around this "Horn of Africa" became the most dangerous shipping route in the world.
The port of Crester is an important stronghold of the Somane pirates.
There are a large number of small speedboats, and even slightly larger speedboats, equipped with small man-portable missile systems and rocket launchers, which are not small in lethality and deterrence for ordinary commercial ships.
Around the port of Bridge, there is also a formation of piracy industry as the core of the upstream and downstream industrial chain, upstream including small ship construction, modification, maintenance, firearms, ammunition and weapon system suppliers, marine engines, diesel suppliers, etc., downstream industries are more complete, including money laundering, sale of stolen goods, transfer of property, opening overseas accounts, hostage accommodation, medical treatment, video, providing ransom technology and telephone services, etc., complete categories and thoughtful services.
One day in early February, Port Crester was extraordinarily busy, with countless small boats and speedboats shuttling back and forth in the harbor, and people were constantly yelling something....
I don't know how long later, a large ship flying the flag of a small country, with the joint efforts of the pilot ship and barge, slowly entered the narrow and tight harbor.
From the appearance and identification, this cargo ship is a 10,000-ton container/bulk mixed cargo ship, with a very deep draft, even exceeding the standard draft, which should be overloaded.
The bustling crowd in the harbor came out of the dilapidated huts in their homes, many of them scrawny and poorly clothed, and it was hard to imagine such a sight, which can be seen in today's world in the 21st century.
Although these people are watching the excitement, they have no expression on their faces, they are not as good as any joy, anger and sorrow, and all they can see is numbness, and the despair hidden under the numbness!
Port Crester gathers nearly one-third of the pirate power in the Gulf of Aden, and these pirates not only rob passing ships and kidnap crew members at sea, but even if they return to port and go ashore, the pirates will still do only one thing, that is, rob.
People living around the port have long been accustomed to this kind of life!
They are both victimized and accomplices of pirates!
Their main source of livelihood now comes from all kinds of trivial odd jobs, as well as the occasional pirate's kindness, and their main service object is pirates!
Now seeing a giant ship entering the port, of course they understand that this is the spoils of the pirates!
Because the port of Crester is too old and backward, the port equipment has not been effectively maintained and maintained for a long time, so the largest cargo ship that can dock, that is, the scale of 10,000 tons, and pirates hijack more than 10,000 tons of freighters, will dock at anchorages outside the port, if interested in the materials on board, they will use small boats to ship back.
And the loading and unloading work is borne by these people living around the port, the pirates give them only all kinds of food, clothes, shoes, or other necessities, it is useless to give them money, on the one hand, it is very unsafe, it will be snatched away by others, maybe it will take a life, on the other hand, Somane has long had no economy to speak of, and it is impossible to spend money nearby.
Of course, too much food can also be robbed, so these people will only ship one or two trips, earn enough food for more than a day, and then replace the next batch!
It is conceivable that such work efficiency and such workers are simply slower than turtles in unloading ...
That 10,000-ton ship is the masterpiece of the Black Skull, the largest armed pirate gang in Port Bridge!
Their leader didn't know where he heard that such a freighter full of grain, canned food, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea and other living materials would pass through the nearby waters in the early hours of this morning, so the boss of the black skull gathered his little brother and went out to sea to drag the big fish back....
For the pirates of Somane, the most valuable thing is the ship that transports arms, but this kind of ship, often guarded by strong armed forces, is difficult to deal with, but once intercepted, it can make a windfall!
In the chaotic Somane, the sale of arms is very wide!
This is not only a guarantee and symbol of strength, but also hard currency, which can be exchanged for everything you want!
The second is the ship that transports all kinds of food and necessary living materials, such a big treasure, if you get one, you can ensure that you can eat and drink for half a year, and you can also recruit more young people who are willing to fight for their lives at sea and quickly strengthen their own power!
The rest of the other ships loaded with messy goods are meat tickets for them, and all that can bring them is a ransom and a small amount of food supplies!
Of course, for the pirate bosses, they still want money!
When those leaders grab enough value, they will try their best to leave here through various channels, find a place incognito, and enjoy the glory and wealth brought by money!
Therefore, the large-scale money laundering organizations and underground money banks have always been big bosses that they cannot afford to offend, and even the pirate leaders who are in Somane must grovel in front of them, unless they do not want to enjoy wealth and peace for the rest of their lives.
Now, in the extremely heavily guarded headquarters of Black Skull located in the northwestern suburbs of Port Bridge, this is such a scene...
The boss of the Black Skull was originally the patriarch of a small town inland of Somane, and due to years of drought and little rain, their tribe could not survive, so the young patriarch gathered all the young people in the town, first ransacked several nearby existences, got some food, weapons and ammunition, and then under the leadership of the patriarch, after several twists and turns, came to Port Crester.
After years of open and secret fighting, the Black Skull gradually grew into the largest pirate force near Port Bridge, and the leader of the Black Skull, claiming to be Salma, that is, the meaning of the rescuer, they are different from other pirates, they will occasionally help the civilians around who cannot survive, so they are very supported and supported by the people, and the power is very stable.
Other pirates also learned the same as the Black Skull to help civilians, so more and more people gathered around Crester Harbor, gradually becoming the largest pirate distribution center in Somane!
At this time, Salma no longer stood tall and commanding in front of others, but humbly sat in front of a person with an obvious Mongolian "wide body, fat body, high nose and small eyes", constantly fawning and flattering.
Salma understood that this man was definitely a big man he couldn't afford to offend!
He only knows that this person is Andrews, one of the core figures of a multinational underground money bank and money laundering organization in Asia, and this time he came to Port Crester to discuss how to safely bring Salma to settle abroad and achieve a smooth handover of the leadership of the Black Skull organization!
Salma is close to 60 years old this year, in the average age of less than 40 Somane, it is considered a high life, older, he gradually has the intention of retreating, in the past few years has been secretly discussing this matter, but because the name of the black skull is too famous, he has done a lot of major cases that shake the world, so no money laundering organization or underground bank, dare to take him this business.
However, things took a turn last month, when one of Asia's largest money laundering syndicates heard of his demands and agreed to them, but on the condition that he not disband the Black Skull, but smoothly hand it over to their designated successor.
Of course, Salma doesn't care, when everyone else wants to live abroad, and he doesn't want to mix with the pirates at all, he naturally agrees very cheerfully.
Last weekend, this Mongolian named Andrews, with ten of his men, inexplicably appeared outside the door of their headquarters and asked to talk to Sarma!
At first, Salma thought there was something wrong with this, so he ordered his men to kill all of Andrews' men, leaving him to torture intelligence.
As a result, as soon as they clashed, Salma and his men were taken aback!
The combat effectiveness of these eleven people is simply terrifying!
In less than half an hour, the bodyguard group on the periphery of the manor was annihilated by Andrews and his group, and nearly 200 people were reimbursed!
Salma, who was more and more frightened, immediately ordered his men to cease fire, and then seriously talked with Andrews for a few words, and then carefully took them into the manor!
It's really impossible not to surrender!
If you continue to fight like this, even if you really get Andrews and his party, his strength will be greatly damaged, and in the predatory port of the jungle, you can only wait for death!
Dying early and dying late is death, so Salma is open to believe Andrews and the money laundering organization behind him.
In the end, things were negotiated smoothly, and the main core leaders of the Black Skull also obediently handed over their power and exchanged for the safety of their relatives to go abroad!
At this time, they were even more relieved and completely handed over the black skeleton!
Tomorrow morning, they will embark on their journey abroad, where they will hide on a container ship released by them, enter the new dragon, and then settle there with the help of money laundering organizations!
Today's ship full of food and living materials was actually built by Andrews and their men!
Salma understood that the purpose of Andrews' gang was not as simple as simply taking over the Black Skull, their ambitions were great, very big, to the point that he could not imagine...
However, all this has nothing to do with him, and he now wants to quickly leave this land of right and wrong and go to the legendary Oriental Paradise to spend his old age in peace.
On this night, a fierce armed conflict broke out in Port Crester and the entire city, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, and huge explosions resounded throughout the night!
Early the next morning, Salma and his elder brothers from a dozen tribes headed for the port in a medium-sized bus arranged for them by Andrews!
This way, they are terrified to watch!
There was smoke everywhere, bodies that had fallen to the ground could be seen everywhere, and the whole city seemed to have experienced a great war, a scorched earth.
When she got off at the port, Salma saw the horror she will always remember in her life!
A row of people were tied to the rope, standing on the edge of the pier, and countless civilians were quietly watching around!
Those people, Salma was very familiar with, among them were his partners, the leaders of other pirate organizations, arms dealers, and traders who smuggled and sold drugs!
These guys, who are usually arrogant and domineering in Port Crester, stood one by one with pale faces at this time, and after a while, a whistle sounded, and then there was a neat gunshot....
Salma felt that the blood in her body was coagulated!
This is the execution scene!
Those various forces, both in the open and in the dark, were all wiped out overnight!
There is no other answer to all this except the black skeleton he once received!
In less than 12 hours, the once chaotic Port of Crester was all under the control of the Black Skull!
Then, a large number of members of the Black Skull began to shout and drive away the onlookers, and a long line formed at the berth where the big ship was docked, and boxes of food were carried off the ship and distributed one by one!
The whole food distribution scene was very quiet and orderly, those bloody corpses were lying not far away, the bloody gas was permeated in the air of the port, at this time, no matter how fierce the pirates, they all turned into sheep!
Salma didn't know what happened later, as soon as he stepped on the land of the new dragon, he was secretly arrested, and he will repent in prison for the crimes he committed, and the huge wealth he collected was laughed at by the new dragon...
After that night of rebirth in Port Crester, everything started to make a difference!
The originally dirty streets were cleaned very clean, those dilapidated wooden houses and tin houses were gradually replaced by mobile panel houses shipped in one ship by boat, the city's various infrastructure, gradually began to improve, everyone who is willing to work, can get their due pay, street commerce, is also gradually recovering, can buy more and more things!
The people who live here no longer worry about safety and food, and the social order of mankind reappears in this devastated land!
As the living standards of the people of Port Crester are getting better and better, many nearby people have begun to move here, but Port Crester seems to have endless work, and every young person who comes here will be assigned a job!
Of course, there are also some restless people who cannot change the vice of robbery, but for them, Port Crester is like hell, and only iron and fire greet them!
In this way, in less than half a year, Port Crester has become the largest emerging force in Somane, and gradually extended their claws to other cities in Somane!
Of course, in the eyes of the rest of the world, the port of Krist is no different, and from time to time large ships full of arms and various supplies are intercepted by them!
It's just that what is puzzling is that the throughput capacity of Port Crester seems to have made a qualitative leap, and the giant ship of more than 100,000 tons can also be easily towed into the port to unload...
