Red Alert Somalia

Chapter 573 Desolate Pirate Lair

Eller is not Evya’s base camp, but he escaped here with his subordinates, because his original base camp has no room for him to survive. When the government forces attacked Puntland, they occupied him. Base camp Ayer Village.

At that time Evya evacuated Evya in advance and transferred all the hostages over. As for the merchant ships that were seized, they all drove to Ella.Therefore, in the port of Ella, there are still a large number of merchant ships waiting to be redeemed.

At this moment, all the hostages were gathered and guarded by a large number of armed pirates. Evya also filmed all the hostages and quickly posted them on the Internet.These pirates do not lack some high-tech equipment, and their lives are trendy. Many people even have a laptop and can surf the Internet via satellite.

It is also the most important means for them to understand the outside world, and among pirates, there are also some talents, such as financial professionals, accountants, and negotiation experts. These people are closely related to their industry and assess the financial resources of the hijacked ship and the owner. Negotiate with the value and with the coming person.

The news that the Somali government wants to completely wipe out the pirates was passed on by the pirates. The request of the pirates is simple. Let the Somali government forces immediately stop all excessive means, otherwise they will kill all the hostages.

This matter quickly attracted great attention from all over the world. The Somali government's desire to completely eliminate pirates is naturally welcomed by the world, but if it hurts the hostages, it will be more than worthwhile.When the time comes, what is a good thing will become a bad thing.of course.If the pirates start killing hostages now, the Somali government will take action.The situation will be different again.

Soon, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Somalia received calls from dozens of countries around the world.They all asked the Somali government to guarantee its citizens as much as possible, and the fleet escorting in the Gulf of Aden also began to move towards the waters outside Ella. The motive was very simple to help the Somali army completely eliminate these pirates.Of course, as long as they do not have the consent of Somalia, it is naturally impossible for them to send troops directly to the war, but they are responsible for encircling the sea to ensure that no fish slip through the net.It is also a very good choice.

After all, Somalia intends to act real, and they are not good to stand by.

Eller today is destined to be a restless day.

The Somali pirates did not let the Somali government give in. Instead, they began to assemble a more powerful army. The four warships that blocked the waters around Ella have even approached a position where they can be seen along the shore of Ella to attack the pirates on the shore. A powerful psychological shock.And within 50 kilometers of Elle, troops began to arrive, gradually forming a trend of encirclement.

Such a strong response.The Somali government is also telling these pirates that you have no chance, all struggles are in vain, and the government will not make concessions.

but.It wasn't really unaffected. The plan to attack at least two hours later was directly postponed to the night.And after all the troops are assembled.

In order to destroy these pirates, Li Lan dispatched an Aegis battle group.An Aegis ship, a multi-function destroyer and two sea scorpions block off the sea and provide efficient artillery support for offensive shores.Fire the naval gun at the bow of the four warships.Once a full attack is launched, the fire support intensity of a single warship is no worse than that of an artillery battalion of the Army (non-self-propelled artillery).Especially the large-caliber rapid-fire guns on the Aegis ships are even stronger than the army artillery battalions of the same caliber.In addition, warships can also take off helicopters and conduct missile strikes, and the efficiency is higher than that of missile units on the ground.

On the ground, the Army dispatched two infantry battalions to assist, with a Marine Corps battalion as the main attack, and Elene, as well as special forces that had already sneaked in.

When all this is ready to continue, the end of the pirates will come, and the key to the success of this extermination war is the special forces. Now the pirates have made things known to everyone, and Li Lan plans to make good use of the pirates. We help propagandize the opportunity to fight a beautiful rescue and annihilation battle.The propaganda of these pirates directly helped Li Lan. According to the plan, the Somali government would also propagate the matter, but it was a little boastful.The appearance of pirates is different, and the effect definitely exceeds the propaganda of the Somali government.

In order to be grateful to these pirates, the only order Li Lan gave to the troops directly involved in combat was that he did not need to show mercy.

The sky has been shrouded in darkness, and the entire Elle is full of armed men in a hurry. Everyone is fully armed and patrolling magically and nervously.These pirates already know that the government forces are coming to annihilate them. Now their only chance is to use the hostages to negotiate with the government, and to spread the news is to hope that the international can give the government a little pressure and force the government to comply with their demands.Therefore, every pirate is very careful, because once those hostages are rescued, they will be finished.

However, since nightfall, they have also begun to be restless, because government fighters still appeared in the sky. Although these fighters did not attack, they whizzed past their heads again and again. The tension in Elene often climbed to a very high level. High degree.

The sea is still full of the tranquility of the past, and the flying waves continue to hit the beach with the surging tide.Except for the sound of waves, there was no more movement on this beach.Even the moonlight quietly disappeared into the clouds under the stars.

A team of pirates with guns and live ammunition passed by the messy beach. Every soldier was cursing, because the government's damn fighter planes buzzed around like noisy flying insects.However, under the curse, they hide the most primitive fear deep in their hearts. The answer to this fear is the endless prayers. Don’t bring smoke and fire to this beautiful beach, and of course it’s full. The death of metal.

On the surface of the sea a little further away, a few ripples suddenly appeared quietly in the sea. Dozens of black shadows emerged from the ripples that broke the tranquility. The sound of the waves hitting the shore reefs was overwhelmed. The slight noise caused by these ghosts.

No one noticed the arrival of these dark shadows that suddenly appeared from the darkness, and no one noticed that these dark shadows quickly removed their diving gear behind a reef and slipped into the footsteps of Ella City, covering each other.

After the Somalia War, this small town that originally relied on pirates for economic development has now lost its brilliance in the past few years. Both sides of the streets that were originally occupied by merchants and hawkers have long been abandoned.Those businessmen with keen minds have already understood that these pirates have not had a good day for a few days. The Somali government's attitude towards pirates is not cheating. Therefore, in order to cherish their little lives, they gradually began to leave here.

Everyone knows that pirates are not a permanent profession, so people here are well aware of the dangers of being involved in this industry.When the danger came, reason let the "irrelevant personnel" here leave one after another.Without merchants, this place will naturally be deserted, because it looks like they are all pirates.Without commodities, no one would gather, and as a result, Eller had become a pirate den.

Looking back at the beginning, because all the pirate leaders knew the importance of the support of the people and local governments, every time they came back from the plunder, they would allocate a portion of the ransom to poor local fishermen or bribe local officials.

Especially in the village of El where Evya was located, although Evya is very cold-blooded, he knows the importance of survival even more and manages the whole lair very firmly.This is also the reason why he has not been wiped out. In order to destroy the pirate lair in El Village, apart from the police force and certain practical difficulties, it was the collusion between Puntland and officials in other regions and the rich pirates.In many ways, robbery at sea can be seen by the locals.It has even become a fashion.

At the beginning, as a cargo ship was hijacked by pirates to anchor in the small town of Ayer, many locals began to take to the streets to set up various stalls to provide cigarettes, food and beverages to the pirates who needed to go ashore every day to supplement their supplies.And for these traders who are familiar with pirates, the pirates are even trustworthy, so they can shop on credit and rebate them twice after receiving the ransom.

At the same time, many pirate chiefs used ransom to build roads, schools and hospitals for the local area, and purchased power generation equipment, so that ordinary Somali residents near the pirate dens also enjoyed an unprecedented "happy life".

In addition to the local economy of El Village, which relies on robbers, in the villages and towns of pirate strongholds such as Haradere and Ella, the only local industry is the pirate economy.

The locals are looking for profit and want to share the pie. For example, when the news of the Saudi oil tanker Sirius was robbed, the world was shocked, but the merchants and residents of Haradere were cheering. They prepared cigarettes, food and cold drinks and set up in the port. Small pavilion, waiting for the pirates to return home to supplement the necessitiesAnd every time the pirate gets a ransom, they give these vendors a large sum of money.

For the original Somalis, pirates can provide a source of income for their livelihood, which is enough to make local residents support the industry that the outside world hates.Because pirates have brought many benefits to the locals, these Somali villagers do not hate pirates and do not care about the safety of long-term hostages.Although the international community declared that it would increase its crackdown on pirates, the residents of northern Somalia continued to provide various support and cover for the pirates.

Now, the addition of a strong government has completely wasted the pirates' original "homework", and no one chooses to support them anymore, and even in Eller, where all the pirates gather, there is no non-pirate Somalis living at this moment.
