Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

As long as any country is caught in a civil war, the people who will suffer in the end must be ordinary people. In order to survive, people sometimes have no choice but to take desperate risks; being forced to go uphill is not completely unreasonable!

Somali pirates are products of a specific period, and we cannot say whether they are right or wrong; after all, I have not been forced to do anything, so I am not qualified to make a considerable evaluation!

With the outbreak of the Somali Civil War in 1991, piracy activities have become more frequent in the Gulf of Aden, and there have been many incidents of hijacking and violent injuries to crew members. There are currently four major Somali pirate gangs: the Puntland Guard, the National Volunteer Coast Guard, Melka, and the Somali Sailors.

Since you want to put on a show, you must do the whole thing; only the worse the Rothschild family suffers, the greater the benefits it will gain.

Fujairah's territory is too small and does not have even a little bit of strategic depth; it may be enough to confront small countries, but it is not enough to face superpowers and the five permanent members of the United Nations.

There is no need to use strategic weapons, conventional weapons are difficult to withstand; and with the end of the two wars, neighboring countries dare not act rashly.

You cannot take the initiative to invade, and it is untenable internationally; you will easily be attacked by groups. After all, there are many countries in the world who want to kill the richest man!

It is inevitable that the Rothschild family will occupy Somalia; there will definitely be conflicts in the future. Cooperation is only temporary, and conflicts of interest between the two parties do not allow long-term cooperation!

In this case, the top priority must be to consume the enemy and strengthen oneself; to unite all forces and deal a heavy blow to the Rothschild family.

The Somali pirate organization never dreamed that someone would contact them and express their willingness to provide weapons and equipment. Although conditions have been put forward, robbing merchant ships is part of the job; what exactly is going on!

The other party not only provides weapons and equipment, but is also willing to provide support in terms of intelligence; it doesn't look like it is fishing for law enforcement.

The weapons and equipment provided are not toys, their lethality is astonishing; even fishing is impossible to catch such a big fish; the possibility of getting back the money is very low!

Pirates may seem reckless, but they are not stupid; they do not dare to accept unclear weapons and equipment. There is no free lunch in the world, and no one will help them for no reason!

The Heiyun intelligence officers naturally knew what was going on, even if they did not understand why the boss would do this; but since the order was given, it must be carried out.

The main reasons why it was difficult to completely eliminate Somali pirates in the previous life include Somalia's political and civil war background, complex international relations, and the economic and social factors for the survival of pirates.

Since the outbreak of the civil war, Somalia has been in a state of turmoil for a long time, causing a large number of people to live in poverty and instability, and many people have been forced to become pirates to make a living.

In addition, the special geographical location and complex international relations of the Gulf of Aden make combating piracy complex and sensitive; any military action against piracy may be regarded as a violation of the sovereignty of neighboring countries and may also aggravate regional tensions.

At the level of international law, there is no clear legal basis for cracking down on pirates; when escorting merchant ships, navies of various countries mainly adopt the method of driving away rather than killing them, because this may cause greater international problems.

Although the international community and navies of various countries have taken a variety of measures to combat Somali piracy, these efforts are often unable to fundamentally solve the problem; war and poverty are the root causes of piracy, and these factors are difficult to change in Somalia!

In order to ensure that the mission is foolproof and to deal a heavy blow to the Rothschild family as much as possible, Black Cloud intelligence personnel invited all the leaders of the four major pirate organizations in Somalia.

At first, they were still a little unconvinced, but in the face of the absolute force, the leaders of the four major pirate organizations chose to compromise. On the surface, he looks very brave, but that is to scare his subordinates; when his own life is involved, no one dares to act rashly.

It's useless to talk too much, and the pirate leader won't understand; it's better to go straight to the topic and save each other from embarrassment!

The Heiyun intelligence officer smiled and said: "I invite you all here today to announce something good to you! You must have already experienced our strength, so I won't introduce it in detail here."

"We are going to provide you with a batch of powerful weapons and equipment. Since we are going to do it, we must make it bigger and stronger. Of course, it is not a loss-making business without any restrictions; but no one does it!"

"Any hijacking of merchant ships in the future requires our consent; you must not act privately, otherwise you will be blamed for being ruthless. In addition, we will provide information on merchant ships that must be robbed. At this time, you need to go all out."

The pirate leader's IQ was relatively high, and he immediately understood what he meant; while providing weapons, it was equivalent to recruiting them in disguise.

The purpose of killing someone with a borrowed knife should not be too obvious.

But do they have any other options now? The answer is no, showing a little reluctance; I will definitely not leave here alive!

The Puntland Guard is the organization most engaged in piracy, and its leader is among the major pirate organizations; it still has some prestige.

The other three looked at him, making it clear that they wanted him to speak first.

It was a good shot, but there was no other way at the moment; I could only bite the bullet.

The leader of the Puntland Guard said with a slight humility: "Although I don't know who you are and who you serve; of course we don't want to know."

"Thank you for providing us with weapons and equipment, but weapons alone are not enough; the brothers below need to live and support their families."

"If you can't hijack merchant ships, it will be difficult for the organization to survive!"

You need to ask for instructions every time you take action, which is difficult for pirates to accept. If the secret is leaked midway, the consequences may be very miserable!

The reason why pirates can survive has a lot to do with flexibility; most attacks are made on the fly, and it is too late to ask for instructions!

I have become accustomed to being free and undisciplined, and someone is in charge of me; it always feels like that is not the case!

The Heiyun intelligence officer smiled and said: "What do I think it is? It's very simple; it's just that in the recent period, as for the completion of the mission, you can do whatever you want, and there will never be any obstruction!"

"Of course, we can't let everyone suffer. Each family pays 2.5 million US dollars. This is a bit of sincerity. I believe you will also have an explanation for your subordinates!"

They sent equipment and money; yet there was such a good thing. But there is no free lunch in the world, and they need to rob merchant ships; it is definitely not that simple.

There is only one possibility as to why competitors go to Somali waters; the destination of merchant ships has something to do with Somalia.

What is most lacking in a country caught in a civil war? Nothing seems to be enough; but if the major warlords want to make a difference, weapons and equipment are indispensable.

In other words, they need to hijack merchant ships transporting weapons and equipment, and the danger can be imagined.

In arms transactions, the strength of both parties is not too bad; many of them are state actions.

If you kick it on the iron plate and hijack a merchant ship that you can't afford to mess with, it's only a matter of time before you are wiped out!

But if you don't obey the order, you can still let them leave; even if you are lying, people will find you later, and the end will only be worse!

The leader of the Somali navy is considered a bright-minded person. He saw the displeased expressions of the Black Cloud intelligence officers; he knew that they were impatient with waiting and must give them a satisfactory answer! So he immediately said: "Thank you for your trust, the Somali sailors will not let you down!"

If someone takes the lead, others will naturally not dare to raise objections; if the situation forces it, everyone will be afraid of death!

If the other party can bring them over without any effort, it can't be easier to kill a few people directly. It is a very risky business, and it has a strong backer; it seems to be good.

Even if you know you are being taken advantage of, you can only compromise; few people in the world will give you money first!

Since everyone had no objections, the Heiyun intelligence officers had no ink either.

The 10 million US dollars was put up directly, and according to the previous agreement, each family received 2.5 million US dollars in one lump sum.

As for weapons and equipment, manpower has been arranged to be sent to the four stations; as for whether they can seize the opportunity next, it depends on their own abilities!

The piracy business has just started, and the four leaders have never seen such a battle; it can be said that the money is definitely in place!

After hearing the report from his subordinates, Bao Zixuan thought to himself: No wonder the Somali navy was the largest and most powerful in the previous life; it seems to have a lot to do with the founder. You need to focus on it and don't let the other person get out of control.

Recruiting pirates to serve you is very risky; if the news leaks out, it will be a heavy blow to your reputation. Over the years, Mr. Bao's business reputation has always been good.

But having said that, once used properly, the effect will be beyond imagination!
