Chapter 1217: Li Ji's mouth is opened
The sea breeze is gentle and cool. At this moment, the cargo ship that Chaoyang people are riding has entered the subtropical waters. The weather is indescribable and warm. A group of men and women sit on the deck and blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun. A few lively guys waved the sea poles and caught fish on the sea.
The freighter has entered the Malacca waters, which is also the necessary sea route from Asia to the east coast of Africa. The Strait of Malacca is about 800 kilometers long and connects the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is the second busiest sea route in the world after the English Channel, and it is also the only way for European ships and Middle East tankers to East Asia.
British writer Isabella Bird once described Malacca in his travel notes: "In many ways, there is a medieval legacy here. The hustle and bustle of the modern world only has the weakest echo here." However, Malacca is no longer quiet now. On one side is the hustle and bustle of the city, while on the other side is the rampage and madness of pirates.
From the mid-1990s to the present, Malacca pirates went to sea to commit crimes, ransacked crew members, and shot hostages. This kind of news is common, and even committed crimes in one year has reached nearly 500 cases, which is crazy.
However, with the rise of Somali pirates in recent years, the limelight has surpassed the Malacca pirates. The Malacca pirates seem to be gradually declining. Anyway, this sea route has been much more peaceful in recent years. Of course, this has a lot to do with the naval fleets of countries around the world going to sea to armed escort.
However, no matter whether it is peaceful or not, the unpredictable guys on the Chaoyang cargo ship don't care. They are so idle that they want pirates to rob, which adds some fun to the boring sea navigation.
"Isn't it? Are you all saying that Somali pirates are very rampant now? It is said that after they purchased a new type of ship, the radius of the crime was as high as 2,000 nautical miles, and they were approaching Malacca. I really want to see their beauty." Li Ji waved his fishing rod with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't hang a fish for a long time. He said in a very annoyance.
Ma Tao next to him picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing. Li Tie turned his head to look at him, "I think you are so idle that you have nothing to do. If you have time, why not go and learn English and communicate with people there. If you have nothing to do, what do you want to fight pirates? He actually wished that his own boat would be robbed once. Is there something wrong?" As he said, he closed the rod neatly, and a half-meter-long tuna kept twisting his body on the sea pole and was thrown on the deck.
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard someone shouting at the watchtower above, "Look, look, there seems to be something wrong with the two ships in front."
As soon as he looked up, Zhang Da jumped and shouted in front of the telescope, looking very excited. No wonder, the life of sailing on the sea is too dry and unable to do anything, so he could only count his fingers and chat. It was not just a group of brothers training together, which was really boring. Therefore, every surprising discovery on the sea made these guys make them comment in a fuss.
"Two ships that are not right?" Li Ji became interested, picked up the telescope slung around his neck and glanced at the distance that Zhang Da pointed. Two ships appeared within his field of vision, one large and one small.
The big one was also a cargo ship, and the words were written on it, and the words were not clearly visible, but the ship was very big and beautiful. There was also a small boat next to it - of course, it was just a small boat in comparison. The fishing boat was not like a fishing boat, the cargo ship was not like a cargo ship, nor was it a passenger ship like a cruise ship. It looked strange, and it was parked side by side with the big ship.
Everyone on the ship also clearly picked up military telescopes or monoculars to look over. These telescopes were gifts given to Chaoyang by Yang Zhongyong. These days they were idle and just took the telescope to look into the distance.
"Big...what, Tang, company?" As he gradually got closer to the two ships, Li Ji narrowed his eyes and vaguely saw the words on the large cargo ship.
"It's Datang, my grass, Datang Company. It's a cargo ship of the Fortune 500 companies in the world, and it's also the company of Singapore's ship king Tang Zixing. Strange, what's going on with the ship next to it?" Li Tie looked through the telescope and saw the words on the ship. He couldn't help but be startled and shouted excitedly.
"Damn, is the Fortune 500 in the world awesome? As for you so excited that you have been injected with chicken blood? When we arrive in Jimofania, within two years, we will have a place in the Fortune 500 in the world awesome. What's so exciting about you?" Li Ji rolled his eyelids and said with a blank look.
Li Tie ignored him, just frowned and continued to look forward. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong. As he was looking here, Liang Chen's majestic voice suddenly sounded from the speakers on the ship, "All of course, there are pirates in front of him, and are currently hijacking a cargo ship of the Datang Company. Everyone, immediately return to the cabin, get the weapons, and assemble at the designated location. The guards are ready for a surprise attack, and all the others are ready for battle. Be careful, obey the orders and do not go out at will to alert the snakes. We must lure the enemy into the depths."
"My Cao, Jizi, have your mouth been sacrificed? Why do you say there are pirates?" Li Tie took off the telescope, looked at Li Ji's mouth with a dumbfounded look, and kept looking at him.
"I'm still looking at it. Hurry up and get the gun. Now there's a war. Finally, I don't have to be so bored anymore." Li Ji was so excited this time that he was as if he was slapping Li Tie, then ran into the cabin and took the gun.
The backbone of the Chaoyang on the ship was an elite backbone who had been shot and killed by swords and fires after going through the wind and rain. No matter how men and women were thrown into the sea of swords and fires, they could dominate the side wherever they were thrown into. Moreover, they usually received high-intensity training that was even twice as strong as ordinary field troops. When it comes to military technology, even if they were thrown into the army one by one, they were top businessmen. At this moment, when they heard the order, they immediately returned to the cabin in an orderly manner. Three people, five people, and ten people, a small team, in an orderly manner and without any confusion. Don't look
