"Are you the security personnel of Shadow Company?"
Watching the roaring helicopter slowly hovering on the deck, and then several burly armed soldiers appearing on the ropes, the old captain of the German freighter had a face full of disbelief.
He has been running at sea for decades and has seen various armies boarding ships, but this is the first time he has seen PCs boarding ships like the army.
John Rambo, who was only wearing a vest with a bomb sling outside, still had dead eyes and nodded extremely calmly.
Behind him were PCs dressed in the same style. Because this was Shadow Company's first show, everyone came to the stage with the highest configuration. The PCs who followed Rambo and arrived early not only carried the same machine guns, but everyone He also carried a rocket launcher behind him.
The helicopter that transported them to the cargo ship was even more exaggerated. In addition to the weapons and equipment hanging on the fuselage and the machine gun tower under the nose, there were also two 60-meter machine guns set up at the door of the cabin.
"I believe you when you say you just came back from Vietnam!"
The old captain muttered.
"Almost, we just came back from Vietnam!"
Rambo looked at the old captain and forced a smile.
"It doesn't matter, the company has hired you, so I can trust you, but this place is really strange. I have been running ships in Somalia for many years, and I didn't have so much trouble before. Why are there pirates now?"
"Who knows, but our intelligence says that it is like this because the current Somali government is too corrupt and makes it difficult for civilians to survive!"
"Those people are really..."
The old captain shook his head, and then took everyone from Shadow Company to visit his big treasure.
This is an ocean-going cargo ship produced after the war. Although it has been used for more than twenty years, it can be seen that the crew is very attentive to maintaining it.
This ship is loaded with iron ore mined from Australia and is going to be sent to Germany. Maybe it won't be long before it turns into countless Mercedes-Benz cars or something else, but only if it can be driven to Germany.
"But your company is strange. Other security companies cover the whole process, but you are only responsible for this part. Does your boss think you will suffer a loss by making other people's money?"
"Then I don't know. I only know that with us here, you just need to go there with confidence and boldness!"
"I'm relieved, other security companies are not as exaggerated as you!"
Afterwards, the captain hosted a group of PCs for lunch. Because they had to wait for the ship group to gather for action, the German freighter that arrived earlier gave the crew a half-day holiday. Everyone set up a fish rack on the idling freighter. Had a barbecue to kill time.
Then, one cargo ship after another continued to arrive, and then Rambo took a helicopter to confirm the cargo ships one by one. When all the cargo ships on the confirmation list arrived, he immediately asked the captain beside him to sound the departure whistle.
Then, more than a dozen cargo ships set off in two columns.
Such a huge formation naturally attracted many onlookers, not only other ships and cargo ships passing by, but also Somali pirates.
A fleet of more than a dozen ships loaded with all kinds of cargo would be a huge hit no matter where they are placed. Therefore, while they are still gathering, there are pirates' ocean-going motherships watching from a distance.
Osaba's pamphlet introduces the relevant information in detail. In fact, Shepard obtained this information from many relevant naval tactic experts. Many of them were old people who had participated in the world war. They used camouflage tactics. Attacking German submarines left a lot of valuable experience.
Each pirate mothership is disguised to look like an ordinary fishing boat, or even an ordinary fishing boat, except that the warehouse used to store the catch has been transformed into a weapons depot. In addition, the fishing boat also carries a large number of radios and mobile phones.
Who would have thought that in Somalia, it would be the military communications soldiers who lost their jobs after the war who were the first to have a second career. Their professional skills could help pirates skillfully use equipment to communicate. Many communications soldiers even joined directly. In the pirate team.
These mother ships also carry two to four hard-shell speedboats for assault operations. If they do not see prey, they will seriously fish. After all, Somalia's rich fishery resources are also a good way to exchange for wealth, but Once prey is found, the mother ship will first track it under the pretense of fishing. When there is an opportunity to catch it, the mother ship will put down the small boat and start taking action.
Therefore, when he saw fishing boats of unknown origin following the fleet unhurriedly, Rambo not only did not panic at all, but even called the captains of each cargo ship.
"Everyone, if you have time, you can look back. About six nautical miles behind the Rose and Good Luck at the very rear, there are good friends of unknown origin following us!"
Rambo's words caused all the cargo ships to jump. Especially the two cargo ships at the rear immediately wanted to speed up and break away, and then were interrupted by the old German captain who was in charge of the fleet.
"Why are you panicking? People from the security company are here. Aren't they just here to solve our problem?"
"Hey, since you know those guys have bad intentions, why don't you take action?"
"Because they didn't do anything!"
Rambo put down the binoculars and replied expressionlessly.
"According to combat regulations, we are prohibited from firing the first shot. Unless they fire first, we cannot fire!"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"convoy!"
Rambo's answer made the old captain quite angry, but he could do nothing but keep the two ships behind him on alert and report the situation at any time.
Rambo also asked his men to rush to the two ships behind him in helicopters, but at most they set up equipment on the deck to observe and did not do anything extra.
This made many ship owners who were full of expectations a little disappointed. This was not what they wanted to see, but no matter what they said, these mighty-looking PCs had no desire to take the initiative to start a war.
This made many people suddenly doubt the level of Rambo and others. Could they be incompetent?
This suspicion lasted until the evening, when the fishing boat that had been following the cargo ship began to speed up and lowered its small boat midway.
"You won't just ignore it now, right?"
"This still has nothing to do with us!"
Rambo finally had a slight fluctuation in his expression this time, but it wasn't because of embarrassment, but rather the kind of frustration that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.
"What do you mean?"
"It means, wait a minute!"
Rambo was about to answer, but suddenly stopped, and then he pointed to the sky with a smile.
"This is their job!"
