Chapter 796: The Light of the Port
Mogadishu port.
Originally, only 1,000-ton cargo ships with a draft of less than 3.7 meters were allowed to dock, but the most you see all day long are armed pirates gathering here, and there were not many shipping companies that dared to get close to this place. However, recently, the Savior Company and the Somalian government jointly declared that they would repair the port, so they asked the pirates to move their offices away.
If it were the Somali government, no one would listen, but with the endorsement of the Savior Company, the pirate was doing it? No matter whether you are willing or not, you have to move it away and let the construction team enter.
A three-story building about three kilometers away from the port is close to the city center. This is also a rare tall building in Mogadishu. In the era of Aidid, this place should be the Meteorological Bureau. Now a group of Somali pirates named Son of the Ocean occupied this place.
As mentioned earlier, the Somali government and the Savior Company only allow a few "approved" pirates to go to sea, and the rest are private goods and are not recognized. However, according to the government report, in 1994 alone, the pirates plundered about 110 ships, and the illegal income exceeded 70 million US dollars!
It’s seventy million!
This money is so easy to make. Just pull a charge boat and fire a few shots, and the hostage will be there. Whoever is willing to abandon this piece of fat? For the sake of interests, anyone dares to provoke the world status of the five major gangsters, not to mention that the savior is just a company.
The son of the ocean is a group of private pirates. They belong to the same tribe and have kinship relationships with each other. This is also the characteristic of many violent institutions in Africa, which can form unity and combat effectiveness.
Damn it, what kind of combat power pirates need? He swept the heavy machine gun and they all ran away.
Sitting on the high-rise of these three-story small building, more than 20 black people were discussing like a vegetable market, holding ak47, and looking at the black people sitting on an ammunition box from time to time. The other party was very strong, his arms and muscles were thicker than others' calves. He was also the leader of the son of the ocean, Canterres!
A Somali deserter!
The real-name system in the army is not perfect. A country like Somalia that often fights wars may join other forces if it changes its vest. Anyway, depending on who gives more money, Canterres once followed Edid and Ocassi, and then came out by himself and formed a pirate with his tribe, which is also ambition.
There are about ten people in his "group" who are deserters just like his experience.
Even now, there are few real-name systems in the Somali army. All they can do is the first special battalion, and the background will be checked completely for you.
And these deserters will not be empty-handed when they run away. These ak47 are all brought out from the army.
"Boss Canterres, what should we do now? If the port is built, we will all starve to death." The people below quarreled for a long time and didn't decide the "win or lose", so a black man said in an inquiry tone.
The reason why they quarreled was that some people should definitely leave Mogadishu and go to other ports. There is no need to confront the savior company and the government. Some people disagree. They think they should join forces with other pirate groups to protest and demand the restoration of the free plundering model, and the government has no right to manage it!
This group of people still accounted for the majority. The son of the Ocean had earned more than 4 million US dollars in the past six months. They snatched two Canadian ships, and the other party paid very readily. This made them taste the sweetness. How could they abandon it?
Canteres was looking at it with a vain. He was very bold. He once bewitched his comrades in the military camp to ask for food and subsidies from the senior Somali officials who came to express their condolences. Of course, he was beaten up, which made him hold a grudge. So, before becoming a deserter, he suffocated the captain who whipped him to death on the bed!
He stole the other party's gun and ran away. On the way to escape, he even forced a girl to shoot and kill his parents who rushed over after hearing the news. Canterres was also a very evil crime.
However, Somalia has not been in an anarchic state for a long time. Death may be the most common thing. I can only blame myself for being unlucky. In Africa, life and death cannot be controlled by heaven.
"Okay, stop talking!"
Canterres looked at the scene below that was about to get out of control, so he had to shout out loud, stand up, kick the cigarette butts on the ground with his boots, hold his hands and sweep everyone, "If we are going to other ports, we have to leave Somalia, do you think there is any place more suitable than Mogadishu port?"
The pirates who supported staying there showed joy on their faces.
"This is Africa! The Savior Company has nothing to say, I don't admit it. I heard that the Asians are the chief of the Oroman tribe? Humph, those Ethiopian bastards are all boneless bedbugs." Canteres roared in dissatisfaction.
The Oroman tribe is close to the border, but some of them are Ethiopians. But it doesn’t mean that they came from there. Research has proved that the Oroman tribes from Egypt have passed by Somalia, but for tribal discrimination clauses, they are just messy.
Canterres' words resonated with everyone.
Or, they are jealous because the Savior Company's governance methods in the Oroman tribe made other tribes jealous. There are prescribed rations, vegetables, and meat, which can be guaranteed not to starve to death. These are unexpected things other tribes have never imagined. Even if they are pirates and receive 4 million US dollars, Canterres is the boss who has the other dozens of people below. This seems to be quite a lot, but you carry the weapons and ammunition yourself, and the boss doesn't send them.
Overall, I don’t make much money. I licked blood on the tip of the knife with my life. When I encounter someone with a tough idea, I will be buried in the ocean.
It is too difficult to find a job now. There are no five insurances and one fund, there are many employees, and there are great pressure to compete. You have to be careful of other groups' encroachment. You are exhausted and you have to see a psychologist.
"Boss, what do you want to do? Let's listen to you."
Canterres licked his lips, not sexy at all, but a little disgusting, "I heard that there is a lot of gold in that base. Let's contact others, build their base, and divide the treasures inside!"
Attack the Savior Somalia Base.
This is Canterres' ambition that had long been suppressed in his blood. He found that Aguadon would have to station about 300 to 500 people, so the base would definitely be empty. If many militants gathered to attack in a short period of time, they would definitely be able to fight. He had never been in, but after the rumors, there were endless food and endless US dollars in it.
The most important thing is that if he wants to get those weapons, he may be able to recruit soldiers and become the overlord of the side.
As for, will you encounter resistance?
Canteres looked at the relatives of the tribe sitting. If they die, they will die. Anyway, someone will always need to be cannon fodder. Even if the death is his own parents, as long as they can achieve their ideals, it will be worth it together.
But after Canterres said that, the lower part became quiet.
The Somalia branch base is becoming more and more mysterious by people outside, and some people want to take advantage of it. However, the NSC heavy machine gun at the door can directly break the body. This is learned from the predecessors, so when they hear Canterres' words, the pirates were a little disappointed.
Seeing this cowardly look, Canterres was furious and was about to deliver a moving speech when he suddenly heard a loud noise. The building was shocked and half of the wall was pierced. Everyone was sweating in cold sweat. They were shooting fire! Someone was shooting fire!
The pirates panicked and picked up all kinds of weapons and entered the state of fighting. Canterres carefully climbed to the side and looked down through the window. His scalp suddenly became numb. The head of the small building was surrounded at some time. There were about two hundred soldiers in military uniforms standing below, two T-54 tanks, and five artillery pieces. This was to level the entire floor!
The Somali major standing next to an off-road vehicle, holding a horn, shouting, "Listen, the people inside, put down their weapons and surrender, and accept legal trial. You are suspected of privately looting passing ships, attempting to subvert the state power, and ordering you to come out! If you don't come out in the last three minutes, you will be killed on the spot."
The major threw the horn into the car and said to his subordinates, "Prepare to fire!"
Waiting for you for three minutes? What a joke, it's just to make you die.
According to the informant's report, a group of unregistered pirates gathered here and obviously planned to do something bad. By the way, you can tell that the other leader was named Canterres. The superior issued an order and directly killed them, and hung their bodies in the port for three days.
These little pirates could not stop such firepower. These people who carried out the mission were specially selected to maintain local public security. There were about a thousand people. The weapons and ammunition were provided by the savior, and there was no shortage of money. The artillery came directly for five rounds and blew up the small building, which allowed people to rush up and dig out the body.
Canterres was killed by the stone. When he pulled his legs out, his flesh was blurred. Except for the color that could be seen in the skin, where else was there?
The major stood in front of the body and compared the characteristics, mainly the tattoo on Canterres' arm, and then nodded to a subordinate behind him, "Cantres was shot dead."
The latter held a notebook in his hand, with more than a dozen names recorded on it, and the group they were in was marked behind, while Canterres and his son of the ocean were drawn by him.
According to the list, these are all unstable factors in Mogadishu. Since Okashi and Tang Dao both want to expand the port, these people have to be eliminated and caught in prison. Where can so many people be pretended? Moreover, the vicious pirates are quiet only if they die.
Therefore, almost using thunder means to bring these private illegal pirate groups around Mogadishu to the current crackdown trend, the name of the action: Light of the Port!
As for whether it will be injured by accident?
All efforts will be rewarded, and those affected around will be compensated for.
As long as you give money, everything is easy to say. Isn’t it just a few shots at home?
