Chapter 1150: Rolls Royce Fishing Boat

That branch called the "Somali Sea Guardian" is not too close to Mogadishu. After going all the way south, passing Marka and Golovin, they came to a coastal town called Balawi. Their base is here. .
Even if Mukala wants to come here, he still needs to go through layers of investigation.
This is the problem with Somalia. Although it is called a ‘country’, it really has nothing to do with the country. Here, tribal interests are paramount.
Over the years, various warlords have fought against each other. At most, eight warlords sat at the United Nations negotiating table at the same time, one more than there were during the China Warring States Period.
In fact, it turns out that Somalia is really not like this. In 1969, their military commander Siad unified the country through a military coup and built Somalia into a social ZY country. Although Siad has a dictatorship, the whole country is still stable and united. .
However, in 1991, the Soviet Union, the main supporter of West Asiad, disintegrated, and all the warlords in Somalia came forward. West Asiad could not control the situation and was overthrown. After exile in Nigeria, he died as a guest. Since then, the Somali people have fallen into a nightmare.
At the beginning, the United Nations was stationed in Somalia for humanitarian reasons. Unexpectedly, facing the United Nations, the warlords who were hostile to each other would unite as one. One of the most ruthless is the warlord Aidid of Mogadishu. Not only did the United Nations robbed humanitarian supplies for civilians, it also killed 24 Pakistani soldiers who were responsible for delivering supplies.
At that time, the
Big Brother
of Pakistan Railroad knew that Pakistan Railroad had been bullied and could not give up. So it sent 17 helicopters, 12 tanks and an elite force of hundreds of soldiers to execute the decapitation operation and kill Eddie. Germany.
The result was more tragic. Almost all of the aircraft and chariots were scrapped. Nineteen soldiers died, one was captured, and all the others were injured (the death toll is to be discussed, and the Stars and Stripes do not dare to report too much). Thousands of people were killed and injured, including civilians, in Mogadishu. At that time, there were no civilians in Mogadishu, and the children were fighting on the front with weapons.
In the end, the Star-Stripe Nation exchanged 24 prisoners for the Star-Stripe Nation soldier, but the UN peacekeeping mission this time was a complete failure: because of the reckless operation of the Star-Stripe Nation, it was originally intended for peacekeeping, but it started with the local warlords. , And killed so many innocent people. This is all right. All Somalis regard the UN peacekeeping forces as invaders. In the end, the entire UN peacekeeping force left Somalia in disgrace. Since then, Somalia has completely entered a chaotic country.
Although Somalia is now a ‘country’ and its capital is Mogadishu, in fact Mogadishu is just a place occupied by big warlords. Every place does not interfere with each other. You let Mogadishu issue a decree to Somaliland? It's strange to hear you!
The reason for the great political stability in Somaliland today is that there are fewer ethnic groups, so there are fewer conflicts.
Although there are so-called political parties in Somalia, in fact, those people are sent by small tribes to represent the interests of various tribes. What kind of national interest can there be in such a chaotic environment?
Just like Balawi, although it is only two to three hundred kilometers away from Mogadishu, but Mogadishu people want to get here? That's a big risk--not the sphere of influence of a warlord.
(By the way, the warlord of Mogadishu is Hussein Mohammed Aidid, who was the son of Aidid, the warlord who caused the'Black Hawk Down'. When Gadishu was in a bitter battle, Hussein-Aidid was serving in the Marine Corps of the Stars and Stripes. Two years after the defeat of the Stars and Stripes to Somalia, the old Aidid died in an assassination, and the young Aidid died from The Marine Corps of the Star-Spangled Nation returned to Somalia as the'President' and is now one of the five chairmen of the Somali Reconciliation and Restoration Committee. Lao Tzu is a'national hero who fought against the Star-Spangled Nation’s aggression,' but his son is of Star-Spangled Nation nationality. This is a bit funny. But in any case, Hussein is a standard pro-China sect, and now the Chinese people in Somalia receive a higher level of security protection than Westerners, and it is credited to the Chinese embassy here. His credit.)
If it was Xiao Peng himself, it is unlikely that he would want to come to Balawi, and Mogadishu would not be able to protect his safety. Just like that Amanda wants to go to western Somalia, even the security personnel can't find it. But it's different with Mukala.
No matter what tribe has to do business with Mukala, although Mukala has received a lot of investigations here, it is basically unimpeded.
Xiao Peng felt that it had something to do with the heavy firepower on his team: the firepower is so strong, it can't be offended!
In Balaway, Xiao Peng saw the hijacked Spanish fishing boat called the ‘Paramus’, but the boat did not dock on the shore, but on the far sea. There is no port for such big ships in Balawi.
Seeing that fishing boat, Xiao Peng couldn't help whistling: "How much ransom is for this boat?"
The members of the "Somali Marine Guardian" next to him answered Xiao Peng's question: "Five million dollars."
Yang Meng curled his lips: "I want less!"
Mukala didn’t understand Yang Meng’s explanation, but Xiao Peng explained,
Do you know Rolls-Royce?

Mukala nodded: "Of course, I have one, but I am parked in Tanzania and dare not drive to Mogadishu. Is there any problem?"
Xiao Peng pointed to the ship and said,
When it comes to Rolls-Royce, everyone knows that it is a luxury car manufacturer. In fact, Rolls-Royce’s biggest business is not cars, but engines, whether it’s aircraft engines or ship engines. It’s done very well, like the
Airbus
passenger plane uses Rolls-Royce engines. This ship is an ICE1A-class Rolls-Royce designed ship. The hull is anti-icing and can be used in various maritime environments. Barrier-free operation, 80-meter captain, built-in fish fillet processing factory on the ship, with a net storage capacity of up to 1,400 cubic meters, and a 550 cubic meter packaging and cold storage room on the deck. The host, Auxiliary machinery, automation equipment, HSG propulsion system, winch and fuel-saving wave piercing design are all designed by Rolls-Royce. It is unparalleled in terms of operating efficiency, crew comfort, and safety and seaworthiness. It is currently the most advanced One of the ocean-going fishing boats in China. I wanted to buy this boat at the time, but it cost me 80 million US dollars, not including the core technology, so I was so angry that I didn't want this boat!"
Yang Meng coldly snorted: "Compared to our'Vladimir', how much did we spend on cauliflower? Are we really taking advantage of us?"
Xiao Peng said: "There are a total of four fishing boats designed by Rolls Royce, two are made by DFFU in Germany, one is made in France, and the other is made in Norway. The one that was launched recently is made in Norway. German or Norwegian, even if this ship is second-hand, the price will be more than 60 million US dollars."
After hearing Xiao Peng’s introduction, the member of the ‘Somali Marine Guardian’ rolled his eyes:
Sir, if you want to buy this ship, I can sell it to you for 20 million dollars!

Xiao Peng shook his head after hearing this, "Forget it, I still can't use this ship, and we can't use it after I bought your ship? Every ship has been filed, and I took it back and turned it into stolen goods. , I can't do such a thing."
Hearing what he said, the man looked regretful. He also knew that Xiao Peng was right. After the pirate hijacked and returned to the ship, he could not sell it. The shipowner needs to transfer the ship’s ownership to the take-out ship. Unless the shipowner transfers the ship to the Somali pirates, otherwise they want to sell it and cannot sell it.
"Anyway, thank you for providing us with such good news. The Huaxia people are indeed our good friends! Sir, let’s tell you, there are eight Huaxia fishermen on this boat, and their treatment is from other places in Kobe. The fishermen are much better!" the man said triumphantly.
Xiao Peng was taken aback after hearing this: "There are still Chinese fishermen?"
Mukala answered this question: "The past two years have been better. In the early years, there were many fishing boats in this area. Now many Chinese fishing boats have gone to West Africa, but on many foreign fishing boats, Chinese fishermen can still be seen. Figure. The situation in Puntland is hard to say, but in Somalia, if you encounter Chinese fishermen, they will take good care of them. After all, Hussein still attaches great importance to Chinese people. This is also the responsibility of all forces in Somalia except for the Al-Shabaab. consensus."
Xiao Peng felt a little better after hearing this: "Well, can we go and see it?"
Mukala told Xiao Peng’s request to the member of the ‘Somali Marine Guardian’, but he could not directly agree to Xiao Peng. He had to ask their leader and the elder of the tribe to answer Xiao Peng’s request.
Anyway, this matter did not wait long. After Mukala assured Xiao Peng and the others were not reporters and spies, they allowed Xiao Peng and others to board the ship, but Mukala did not board the ship: they had to guard their convoy on the shore to ensure that Those people don't think too much.
Xiao Peng, Yang Meng, and McAfee arrived in a small speedboat to the Paramus. Xiao Peng was invited into the cockpit after boarding, and there was no one here. Xiao Peng looked at the nameplate on the bridge: "Hey, it was made in Norway! The new ship that was launched just last year was hijacked here this year."
Yang Meng asked in a puzzled way: "Isn't this ship of ICEA1 class? If you don't go to work in cold waters, what would it be to run here?"
Xiao Peng gave Yang Meng a glance: "Aren't you nonsense? Where is the Seychelles and Chile? The fish caught here can be transported directly through the Seychelles. If they go to the Antarctic, they will go to Chile to supply supplies. Not to mention the high cost, the sea conditions over there are complex, can there be gains or the other two. Although the risk here is greater, the fishery resources here are too rich, and the man-made money and the birds die for food. High risk and high return? Did you pay attention just now? This boat is a dual-function trawl and purse seine fishing boat, and it intends to run after catching the fish as soon as possible based on the fish conditions.
Yang Meng listened and looked at the bridge: "It's a pity that a good ship."
Xiao Peng sighed and said: "These Somali pirates are also fighting, saying that they are to protect their own oceans, but now you look at the robbery range of the Somali pirates, you can all go to the door of Pakistan to rob. This ship is also in the jam. Working in the waters near the Yells Islands is still being hijacked here. Otherwise, you think that our country’s big ships are working in the Somali Basin, why should we send fleets to guard them? Just for fear of pirates going to make trouble."
McAfee listened to the conversation between the two, with a speechless expression on his face: "Do you know that it is not safe? Why didn't you go to the fleet when you first passed by? How many of us dare to kill? What should I do if we encounter pirates?"
"What else? Pack up!" Yang Meng replied concisely, "Do you think that only pirates are armed? We have them too. They are more powerful than Mukala! The pirates dare to come? I can make them sink without waiting for him. Into the sea."
McAfee's face was speechless after hearing this: "I have done death all my life within my own control, but this time I came out with you and made a big death accidentally. Fortunately, the pirates did not come, otherwise I am sure Make big news.
Xiao Pengle said, "When you are a vanguard like you, are there still times when you are afraid? Do you think I will believe it? I just listened to it as a joke."
McAfee curled his lips and said, "Why is there no one listening when I tell the truth?"
Just when a few people were chatting vigorously there, a few people with AKs in their faces walked in.
"This is our leader Reale." The young man from the'Somali Marine Guardian' introduced.
Yang Meng curled his lips: "What are you doing with your face covered? We don't have photographic equipment."
Reale sat down and looked at Xiao Peng, "Are you Mukala's friend?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Yes, I heard that some of my compatriots have been kidnapped here. So come and take a look."
After hearing this, Reale shook his finger: "No, no, no, you are wrong, it is not that we hijacked them, but that they invaded our country’s waters, and we are to protect our own territorial waters, if they don’t come to us Stealing fish in the territorial waters, we naturally will not catch them, after all, it is their own fault!"
"As far as I know, they were arrested in the sea near the Seychelles, right?" Yang Meng asked after hearing this.
Reale's eyes widened: "There is close to our sea area, where the fish are cleaned, and our country's fish are naturally gone! It is just for us to do this!"
Yang Meng shrugged: "What do you say is it?"
Reale snorted coldly after hearing this: "They are damned anyway! I tell you, if you are not friends of Mr. Mukala, I will leave you on the boat, lock you and your compatriots together, and wait for your family. I will let you go after paying the ransom!"
Xiao Peng was angry after hearing this: "Is it impossible to talk to you properly? Mengzi, be reasonable with them!"
"okay!"
