Chapter 3667
Very soon, the global ocean shipping field received a very shocking piece of news.
The pirate organization known as 'Black Shark' had publicly issued a warning not to allow any ocean shipping company to cooperate with Ten Thousand Armies when it came to armed escort. Otherwise, they would be taking extreme measures to retaliate against them. Once this news came out, the entire ocean shipping field was shocked. Unexpectedly, Ten Thousand Armies, which was such a powerful and famous mercenary organization, had also begun to get involved in armed escort!
Moreover, according to the news released by Black Shark, it seemed as though the two sides had already formed a relationship.
Ten minutes later, Ten Thousand Armies also officially released a short statement with only a few simple words: "Nothing and no one can stand in our way!"
The entire ocean shipping industry was shocked.
This was the first time ever in history that a mercenary organization had gotten involved in armed escort.
Furthermore, Ten Thousand really had a big
reputation.
Many companies, shipowners, and practitioners in the ocean shipping field could not wait to see who would finally have the last laugh amongst the two parties.
At the same time, on the waters of the Gulf of Aden, the Blue Shark was driving at full speed toward the Red Sea.
The several soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies who were on the cargo ship had also escorted the six disarmed pirates to the deck.
At this time, the six pirates were all completely unaware of the impending catastrophe. On the contrary, they looked very dissatisfied and defiant, and they were all staring, almost as if they were ready to rush up to fight the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies at any time. One of them also held his face in his hands as he said very arrogantly, "You would let us go immediately if you have any sense or know any better at all.
Otherwise, we will definitely make you pay a more painful price! It's not as if there has not been any escort fleet that has captured us before, but none of them have dared to do anything to us, anyway!"
What the pirate had said was basically true.
Pirates were a very difficult problem for those escort fleets in the Gulf of Aden.
The United Nations granted the right to the escort fleets to protect the merchant fleet, but it was for them to generally drive the pirates away rather than to kill them.
There was also a very awkward
reason for this. If the attack was too aggressive, the pirates would then retaliate against their own merchant ships. The size of the escort fleet was also limited after all, and it was simply impossible for them to
protect every merchant ship in time.
Furthermore, if they captured the pirates, they would also be faced with an awkward situation where they had no power to enforce any law. After all, any country that went all the way to the Gulf of Aden for escort would not have any law enforcement powers against the pirates in the Gulf of Aden because they would be far from home.
Therefore, if they captured the pirates, the basic operation would just be to find a time to dock before releasing the people.
It was also precisely because of this that these pirates felt emboldened and confident without having any fear or worries of what the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies would dare to do to them. However, they had underestimated the determination of Ten Thousand Armies.
When Porter had received orders from Charlie to carry out the armed escort, he had already conveyed Charlie's request to everyone that since it was an armed escort, they would have to fight with fame and style. Therefore, they had long prepared all the preparations, and at the same time, they had also carefully prepared a special gift for these pirates.
After driving the six pirates to the
deck, the captain of the escort team from Ten Thousand Armies said to the six of them, "Since your boss is unwilling to pay the ransom for the six of you, we will release you on the ground in the spirit of
humanitarianism. I hope that you can reflect on yourselves and
change your ways from this
moment onward!"
The pirate who had threatened Ten Thousand Armies laughed out loud immediately as he said mockingly, "I thought that you guys really had some great abilities, but aren't you simply going to honestly let us go too?!"
