Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 188 Somali Pirates (Part 1)

Having said this, Li Lan got up and walked out of the reception room, with Natasha closely following behind.

He doesn't need to stay inside anymore. If these people really want to buy weapons, they will naturally be bound, and he doesn't want to talk about the rest.

It's not that you will lose if you talk too much, but it is not necessary, because in a few days, there will be a lot of arms dealers and armed forces coming over. Today is just the beginning.Moreover, in his eyes, arms dealers are just a group of businessmen, and there are not many that can be purchased.

Li Lan's most valued customers are those third world countries.Rather than those arms dealers, as long as China and Russia, the two permanent members of the United Nations, are on his side, the United States and NATO will not be able to pass United Nations resolutions and impose comprehensive trade sanctions on him.The sanctions are only unilateral, and Li Lan is not afraid of this.

In just two years, he will stand up completely, and he does not need to continue to rely on others.Because when the time comes, even the United States will need to consider the result of confronting a force with advanced naval, land, and air forces.In a war that is not asymmetrical, the United States can bring in several allies who sincerely send troops.

As for the client system created by the assistant, Li Lan will also give it to all customers. As for whether they need it or not, he will not force it.Because as long as it is a normal person, it will be thought that this tablet computer is bound to be under Li Lan's control, and those who have bad intentions naturally need to consider it carefully.

If they don't want this system, then Li Lan will naturally sell it, but the price is naturally much higher, and it will inevitably have some special conditions.I believe that many people are willing to use this system as long as it is driven by interests.Especially those local forces will definitely welcome this.

However, not everyone is eligible for this thing, at least those influential forces and undersized arms dealers are not eligible for this thing.It is not that Li Lan is stingy, but that he intends to take the mid-to-high-end route.

If it wasn't for opening up the arms trade, he wouldn't take care of these arms merchants. After all, the merchants are profiteering, and so is Li Lan.Therefore, his most inclined customer is the country, no matter where the country is, Li Lan will sell it.Even if the United States wants to buy, Li Lan is very willing to sell.

At present, all the sales lists have only the army weapons and equipment, and none of the navy and air force.These two types of equipment are not yet available for sale.

After leaving the reception room, Li Lan, led by the hotel manager, went directly to Lin Meiqi's guest room.

After knocking on the door and entering, Lin Meiqi in a white dress was standing on the balcony, letting the sea breeze blow, and a bustling port of Bosasso could be vaguely seen in the distance.

"Are you done?"

Lin Meiqi's faint voice came in her ears. Although the other party did not turn her head, Li Lan nodded and said, "Take you to a place."

"where?"

"Didn't you always plan to make a documentary about Somali pirates? I will take you to see the real pirates." Li Lan continued.

Lin Meiqi didn't say anything, nodded, and when she turned her head, she seemed to avoid Li Lan on purpose, lowered her head, and walked back to the room.

However, Li Lan still saw a trace of water stains in the corner of her eyes, immediately stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Lin Meiqi's shoulders, and quickly asked: "Are you crying? Who is bullying you?"

"No one bullied me, and I didn't cry. I just rubbed the sand into the wind." Lin Meiqi put her head aside and said calmly.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Seeing her reddish eyes, Li Lan felt particularly irritable for some reason.

"What is our relationship?" Lin Meiqi said lightly.

Hearing her rhetorical question, Li Lan fell silent, and after a moment, said: "Can't you care about friends?"

"Is it just a friend?" Hearing Li Lan's answer, Lin Meiqi didn't know whether she was relaxed or heavier, but none of this was seen on her face, and her face suddenly showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time. "Let's go!"

"Where to go?" Seeing Lin Meiqi's smile, Li Lan felt a pain in her heart.

"Don't you want to take me to see the pirates? I already brought everything together." The smile on Lin Meiqi's face became softer, looking at Li Lan with a smile.

"Yeah! I'm waiting for you in the car." Looking at Lin Meiqi who seemed to have figured it out, Li Lan just nodded gently and let go of his hands.As he turned around, he didn't see the tears coming from the corners of her eyes.

Ten minutes later, Lin Meiqi, who had been freshened up, walked out of the hotel, and now she seemed to be completely cheered up, and she swept away the many negative emotions of the past two months.A smile appeared on his face again.

After Lin Meiqi got on the car, the convoy restarted and moved slowly towards Bosasso Prison.

Five minutes later, the convoy world drove into the prison.Stopped in front of the second door of the prison.Through the second iron railing gate, you can see hundreds of prisoners gathering on the prison square.

At this time, these prisoners were sitting on the ground one by one, and each of them had heavy fetters on their feet.The arrival of the convoy attracted their attention, but they just took a look, and they didn't mean to get up one by one.

In the cell around the activity square, many people were still locked up and not released for activity.

And around the square, dozens of red police soldiers surrounded them, and on the four walls, many machine guns were placed.The gun was directed at these prisoners.

The arrival of Li Lan made the prison highly guarded, and in a short period of time, doubled its troops.

Li Lan, who got out of the car, just glanced at the people across the iron gate, and then directly followed behind the warden, and walked to the small gate on the side.Later, Lin Meiqi and Natasha did the same.

Through the small door, Li Lan really walked into this prison, and there was no barrier between all the prisoners.

"Are these people all pirates?" After entering, Li Lan glanced at a large group of prisoners who were staring at them, and asked the warden beside him.

The warden was originally a captain and company commander. After taking Bosasso, he was sent here to serve as the warden.The original warden and detainees had already been treated as prisoners in the Sulud Mountains.

"Report to the commander, these people are all people with pirate experience." The warden replied.

"Has the quiet room been arranged?" Li Lan said.

"It has been arranged, please come with me."

Under the leadership of the warden, a group of three people came to a large empty house, which was filled with rows of benches. Opposite the benches, there were three seats.

When Li Lan and the others arrived, the SEAL team was already guarding them.On the side, a camera has been set up.

"Wait for what you want to ask, just ask, I watched." After walking in, Li Lan said to Lin Meiqi beside her.

Lin Meiqi nodded quietly.

Before long, convened by the Red Police soldiers, the prisoners who were basking in the sun came in one by one and took their seats one by one.

"This is your last chance. What do we ask? You must answer well. If anyone dares to mess around, I promise that he will disappear in this world." After everyone came in, the warden warned in Somali.

Seeing these scrawny pirates in front of him, Li Lan was very responsible.This was the first time he had close face-to-face contact with the pirates. He thought it should be them frowning, but none of them showed sadness on their faces, but all smiled.

This is a prison. They stay in a cell here instead of playing.If it weren't for the Bosasso occupied by Li Lan, some of these people have already gone to the court to stand trial.It is precisely because of this that, in Li Lan's eyes, they should have a sad look, but each of them seemed to be very honorable, not like prisoners in prison at all.

Not only Li Lan, but Lin Meiqi also feels this way.The smiles on these people's faces are really hard to understand in the eyes of normal people.They are not as fierce and evil as imagined, and they gave her the feeling that they are no different from ordinary Somalis.It is unimaginable that these people are actually pirates.

"Why are you all smiling, aren't you afraid of being punished?" This is Lin Meiqi's first question.

When the Red Police soldier translated her question, many pirates laughed.Among them, one stood up and replied: "We are not pirates, we are heroes, we are heroes of Somalia."

His answer seemed to resonate with everyone, and everyone cheered.

"If you are heroes, how can you be caught here." This is the second question.

"We are all Somali, but we are not pirates. We were arrested for many reasons. First of all, we have never robbed and we don’t need to rob. Secondly, the biggest reason we were arrested is that we did not have one. With a powerful sovereign government, no one will protect our interests. Fishing boats from other countries run to our beaches to fish and drive away our fishing boats.

We don't ask for the territorial waters of twelve nautical miles, and we have nothing to say when they come to fish, but why do they drive our fishing boats.To be clear, this sea area has belonged to us Somalis since ancient times.Half of the Gulf of Aden belongs to Somalia.It is not a Yemenis fishing ground, nor is it a back garden for Indians.

The most hateful is those international escort fleets, they are indiscriminate, as long as they are Somalis, it is all wrong.They didn't give us a chance to argue at all, and we just raised our hands to fight. We are just ordinary fishermen, just to protect our rights."This man seemed to be a little excited, his voice slowly raised, and he was talking and waving his arms vigorously.

Driven by him, other people also shouted excitedly, and the scene suddenly became lively.
