The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 268

Hey, another little action!Situ Nan despised the cautious American government.

For the sake of the money, Situ Nan admitted.He knew that Egypt would become independent in two or three years. Although it did not take back important rights such as the Suez Canal, it was at least a sovereign state.At that time, Occidental Petroleum can extract oil in the Gulf of Suez.

Just make a good bond!Situ Nan just bought land from the King of Egypt, and then credited a batch of weapons to the Waffles.

The revolution is nothing more than business!

Chapter 25 The Arms Trade and Pirates in the Persian Gulf

It is not easy to secretly smuggle arms to the Egyptian waffles, but it is not difficult for Situ Nan.

As the world's largest arms dealer, wherever there is war, the Bethlehem United Company will always appear all over the world.

Those savvy arms representatives always have ways to provide customers with thoughtful services under various names. As long as the price is right, even airplanes and warships can provide you with them.

Such things are often done by Bethlehem in Latin America, and they are all familiar with it.Occasionally, their figure also appears in Asia.After receiving Situ Nan's instructions, Bethlehem immediately cleared out the "garbage" in the warehouse.

After the war, the Bethlehem Company, not to mention the warships on the berth, had 200,000 M1903 spring rifles in its warehouse, and there were countless ammunition.There are also hundreds of cannons that can be equipped with two American artillery divisions. As for the number of mortars that are popular in positional battles, there are even more.These equipment are brand new, and have been sealed before being put into war.

In order to implement the Nanyang Project, the greedy Stuart also hinted that Bethlehem and Meihua Company would cooperate to secretly take a part of the millions of used guns that were retired from the United States, plus those new ones that were not delivered to the frontline in time. , Situ Nan stocked 400,000 rifles, thousands of machine guns and hundreds of cannons.

If history does not change, these stocks will be revealed again in World War II two decades later and used to give favors to allies such as Britain and China.

Although it is impossible to sell all these arms at once, it is still possible to export most of them to foreign countries quietly or openly in ten or eight years.

As a result, the hundreds of thousands of expensive "garbage" were taken to arm Venezuelan Gomez, and some were secretly transported to the secret base in Southeast Asia.Now there is a new destination-the Middle East.

When Situ Nan left Egypt, a merchant ship loaded with guns and ammunition traveled from Venezuela via the Panama Canal on the South Pacific route. After unloading most of the arms on the island of Sumatra, it was loaded with pepper jokes and other cargo and continued along The Indian Ocean enters the Middle East.

Well, those remaining arms are still enough to equip an army of 10,000 men.A month later, when the Egyptians were trading in the Red Sea, they couldn't be stunned!

With this batch of old arms, they started the two or three years of lingering time with the British.Finally won the country's independence in general.This is something!

This is almost a one-shot deal.Because the British will always know that the source of arms is the United States.However, Situ Nan was not afraid. The two sides fought a battle of words, and finally made a diplomatic guarantee that they would not interfere.

Now the United States has begun to corrupt the British colonial system all over the world. Regardless of the Americans returning to isolationism, it is just a political posture. In fact, the economic power of the United States is always exploiting the British Empire's loopholes.

Situ Nan's accidental intervention in the Middle East is just a microcosm of the international plunder by the US multinational consortium.

Before the British had paid attention, Situ Nan finally arrived at the world energy center in the Persian Gulf before delivering the goods with the Egyptians.

Situ Nan noticed that after the William entered the Persian Gulf, there were very few ships in the Persian Gulf, and the largest ships were generally around four to five thousand tons.

The desolate and sparse Persian Gulf!It is in stark contrast to the busy Suez Canal.

Although not too closed and backward, compared with the Mediterranean or Atlantic routes, the Persian Gulf is like an old and declining yellow-faced woman abandoned by men.

Situ Nan scratched his head, feeling as if he had come to the wrong place, because the luxurious William entered the Persian Gulf like a rich lady walking into a slum. It looked so distinct and out of place.

Situ Nan didn't know whether the Arab pirates were powerful or not, but he felt a little awkward when he saw the envy and even greedy expressions of the fishermen on the fishing boats passing by.

When Han Gang reported to Situ Nan, and a small boat followed, Situ Nan smiled, determined to teach those dirty pirates an unforgettable lesson.

There are people who are not afraid of death.On the night before Kuwait was one day away, three pirate ships appeared outside the ocean!

Three small fire wheels of several hundred tons of all colors, quietly approaching the William in the dark.But when it was 500 meters away from the William, the searchlights on the William suddenly showed up.

Situ Nan saw a pirate ship rushing over from the window. Several machine guns were erected on the bow of the ship. A group of Arab pirates stood on the deck. They pointed weapons, scimitars and guns, and wrapped their head cloth.

Under the light of the flickering searchlights, Situ Nan looked a little proud to see those people with cruel smiles on their faces.

What a horrible face!A whole bunch of garbage!

Situ Nan cursed inwardly.

It is no wonder that the dilapidated Persian Gulf is not like the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea after all. There are patrolling British warships everywhere, so there is still room for pirates in the Persian Gulf.Coupled with the turbulent situation in the region, many people have fallen into the water due to the pressure of survival.

Pirates, in the Persian Gulf in 1919, was a relatively lucrative job.

It's a pity that this group of guys tonight will die even if they have money.There are two hundred crew members on the William, most of whom are armed with training, and there are 50 elite bodyguards brought by Situ Nan.There is absolutely no problem with these bodyguards at ten.

The William has a lot of armaments, equipped with five 20-caliber rapid-fire guns, twenty machine guns, a batch of rifles, and a melee magic Thompson submachine gun.

After spotting the pirates, the encircling personnel on the ship immediately arranged defensive measures and aimed their muzzles at the pirates who didn't know.

"Master, go back to the room! It's dangerous here!" Lin Yimin persuaded.His expression was serious, and he looked at Situ Nan with some worry.

"Stone, I heard that there are many pirates outside?" Laura came in suddenly and asked, her face a little pale, holding her son Andy in her arms.

The little guy had just fallen asleep and looked very energetic. He stretched out his little hand and waved constantly, while yelling that only he could hear him.No idea what happened outside.

"It's okay. I will get rid of them soon." Situ Nan smiled slightly, walked over to hold Laura mother and son in his arms, and comforted, "Take Andy's room first, and then come out after the end, everything is mine. It."

Seeing Laura go back to the room under the escort of the bodyguard, Situ Nan let out a sigh of relief.This is a position by the window, he is afraid that there will be any accidents they stay, in case a stray catapults over...

Situ Nan raised his binoculars and looked at the situation outside.The three pirate ships cooperated quite tacitly and surrounded the William. Unfortunately, when they were two hundred meters away from the William, suddenly three flaming tongues appeared on the William. The rapid-fire cannon that had been aimed at was aimed at the machine gun of the pirate ship. Fire.

At the same time, the machine guns on the William followed, and the dense shells, rain-like machine gun bullets, and the sailors’ rifles, merged into a metal storm, which beat the unprepared pirates to the ground and broke their arms. Limbs flew, and the corpses of the pirates fell savagely on the deck. They hadn't seen the enemy and couldn't shoot them, so they went to the Lord Allah to repent.

All this happened between the electric light and flint, and the pirates suffered heavy casualties under the sudden attack of the William.Situ Nan was very pleased to see it, his hands were itchy, so he set up a sniper rifle modified from the M1903 Springfield rifle, which he usually uses for hunting.

After taking a glance for a while, he finally knocked down a bearded man who was wielding a big knife and shouting at other pirates. Unfortunately, his marksmanship was a little worse, and he didn't hit the heart, but hit the man in the ass.

The battle lasted for 5 minutes before it was over.A pirate ship that was rushing more quickly was smashed by rapid-fire cannons and stopped. The remaining two ships saw that the situation was not good, and they quickly turned around and fled. As a result, one ship was caught up by the William and beat a shuttle, finally Honestly.surrender!

Originally, Situ Nan seemed to hit him directly, but he was heartbroken by the William, so it took a lot of time to deal with the second pirate ship, and when he went back and chased the last pirate ship, the other party had disappeared in the vast night.

call.it is finally over!Lin Yimin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Master, the shot just shot was beautiful!"

"Yeah." Situ Nan raised his head slightly, feeling a little more proud.

"Go and check those guys. It's enough to leave a few victories, not the others! There are also those two pirate ships, see if they can be used, and sink him if they can't be used!" Situ Nan explained, a little sleepy After yawning, he went back to comfort his wife and children.

Lin Yimin walked to a pirate ship, and the stump and blood on the ship made him feel sick.The pirates don’t have many guns. They are all old guns. The rifling is almost worn out. It looks like they are helping the poor, but the thick hand calluses on the corpses make him feel a little cold. This is an evil ghost. Fortunately, they did not succeed.Otherwise it falls into their hands...

Thinking of this, Lin Yimin kicked a corpse away in disgust, and ordered the soldiers to throw all the pirate's corpses into the sea.As for the other captured pirate ship, due to severe damage, it was finally sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Yes, the William killed and injured more than 180 pirates. Well, except for a few or the mouth, the remaining pirates must die if they are not dead.Unfortunately, the third pirate ship ran away.

After checking, Lin Yimin and the others also found a lot of stolen goods on the ship, gold and silver jewelry, fur porcelain and even machine pianos and other weird things. It seems that these pirates have looted many ships in the past.

The cold blood of the soldiers on the William completely scared the remaining pirates to death, and they obediently told everything about the pirate gang.

It turns out that this group of pirates is the largest pirate group in the Persian Gulf. There are two to three hundred people. In addition to the fishermen who cannot survive, there are also many stragglers. They come from several countries and tribes, including Turkey, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, etc. In the Arabian Peninsula, wars have taken place all the year round, so more and more people are engaged in unprofitable business, either as bandits or as pirates.

After the William entered the Persian Gulf, they entered the realization of these pirates. They couldn't restrain their greed. They wanted to attack the William, but they didn't expect to steal the chicken and lose the rice, and they died in vain.These poor guys didn't expect that the very beautiful and soft William would hide such advanced firepower in secret, like a beautiful piranha!
