Yuri patted his head, pondered for a moment and then immediately replied: "What about the civilian arms market in Southeast Asia? Apart from the military industrial groups in Europe and the United States, basically the largest source of goods is the standard arms flowing out of the military in Southeast Asian countries. There is also a very mysterious doctor, and the others are just small workshops or second-rate dealers.
But I heard that Doctor Who has not been shipped for a long time.
Oh, by the way, it seems that in the past ten years, a new bookmaker has taken over the doctor's channels, but recently it has not shipped much in Southeast Asia. However, judging from various signs, everyone unanimously speculates that it is supported by the South Vietnamese military. agent, but this is just speculation. After all, no one else can take the initiative to seek confirmation from the South Vietnamese military.
By the way, there is another one, and that is the uncrowned king of the Southeast Asian underworld - the banker killer. "
Ah Sheng's expression was subtle for a moment, but he recovered immediately and continued: "These new pirates who appeared in the Yangbayi Strait are actually just a group of rabble, but the equipment in the hands of the first ones is not those of small workshops. The shoddy products inside must be from some powerful big dealer, and they can’t be dealer killers. I wonder if one of them is running a big promotion?"
Another guy at the table was also interested in the conversation between the two, and intervened: "After listening to what you said, I also feel that it cannot be the banker's killer.
Because although the banker killer has the power to subvert the underground arms market in Southeast Asia, the one who least wants the underground arms market to explode is the banker killer. What the other party wants is a Southeast Asia with stable security, not a Southeast Asia where everyone has a gun. "
Yuri became curious at this time and asked Asheng: "What, those pirates have affected your business?"
"Oh, the business has not been affected much, but piracy has been rampant recently, and our company's fleet has to be equipped with a group of security personnel every time it passes Yangbayi, which increases our operating costs.
Moreover, many of our partners have had their boats robbed several times, but fortunately, Taibai Security learned about the situation and dealt with it in time, and there have been no casualties yet.
However, the situation is not optimistic if this continues. After all, not all companies have sufficient security forces like ours. "
The others at the table also became strange after hearing this.
"Is the situation in the Yangbayi Strait that serious?"
"Who is so unruly?"
And Yuri was racking his brains to think about what was going on.
This is obviously someone who wants to disrupt the normal operations of the Yangbayi Strait, and the cost is just to give a group of pirates composed of a ragtag group of arms.
As long as a few gangs have tasted the sweetness, they will seize a few small ships and then find brokers to deal with them at a low price. Although it is a low price, it is already a huge sum of money for these pirates whose pockets are cleaner than bowls.
After the news spread, it was a great stimulus to this ragtag group of people, whose main components were coastal fishermen and gang members.
A dozen long guns and short guns, a few modified speedboats, and a few RPGs can be purchased for tens of thousands of dollars. Then, if you grab a cargo ship of about two to three thousand tons and find a channel to ship it, it will cost hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands. The reward of 10,000 yuan, although the risk is very high and you will fall into the street if you are not careful, the reward is really exciting.
Of course, if you really get lucky and rob a container ship of more than 10,000 tons by chance, then it depends on what kind of person the ship owner is, because those brokers generally will not accept this kind of cargo, because the volume is too large. It's not safe.
It's okay to meet a ship owner who wants to spend some money to settle the matter. Maybe he can get a ransom of millions or tens of millions in one trip, but what if he meets ruthless people like the Qinglong Study Group and Specter? After the boat, haha. . .
However, despite the huge risks, the ultra-high rates of return have stimulated these poor fishermen and off-the-grid fishing groups along the coast of Southeast Asia.
Even though the navies of several countries of Yang Bayi had cleared several small gangs and killed seven small gangs, they still did not stop this unhealthy trend. There were even four gangs of pirates who accidentally ran into the Sea Shadow and were " "Compulsory labor" has been silenced.
After all, there is such a big sea. The amount of money spent when the fleet is dispatched may be as much as the loss of a successful pirate robbery. The golden cannon is no joke, and the scope of everyone's activities is limited and it is impossible to run to other players. They wanted to destroy the pirates in their own territory, so they could only kill a few top ones as a deterrent, and now it has played a certain role.
But if this continues, and these pirates or groups who are still waiting to become pirates feel that the risks they take are worth the benefits, the consequences will be very bad.
“So, the bookmaker that provides arms to these pirates is the key!
No matter how low the cost is, the basic configuration of a pirate gang is not something that a ragtag group of people can afford!
In the past, it was okay for some occasional outcasts to make guest appearances as pirates, but now as long as individuals can get funding from various channels to put together the basic equipment they should have, is that okay? ! "
After listening to Ah Sheng's complaint, Yuri's head began to spin again. He suddenly felt that he had discovered a blind spot: "The equipment in the hands of the first group of pirates you just appeared was of good quality, but what about the later ones?"
"Although some of the later ones are of good quality and look like they were made by big factories, most of them look like they were shoddily made in small workshops."
"That's the problem. I suspect that the original dealer has stopped shipping. Maybe it has achieved its goal, or maybe the current form is not what they originally intended. They found something wrong and immediately picked themselves out.
In short, even those audacious warmongers would not dare to mess around in a place like this. This is not a black state. If he is discovered, he will be included in the group of stakeholders who have been conducting normal trade in the Yangbayi Strait all year round. Encirclement and suppression! "
After hearing this, Ah Sheng and a few Maozi became more active. This makes sense. If it is a spontaneous act among the people, there is nothing we can do.
Just like in Somalia now, the local residents are either robbing or on the road to robbery. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are all pirates. After one wave, the next wave appears again, and this phenomenon also appeared in Luzon later. .
But Yang Bayi didn't have the endless war-torn environment like that hellish place in Somalia that could lead to the arrival of the "Great Age of Piracy," so someone must be acting as a monster.
However, the original purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes may just be to let the first batch of novice pirates do dirty work, but these novice pirates really regard themselves as professional pirates, and some people actually succeed, and then they get out of hand, and even With the transition to the "Great Pirate Age", it makes sense that the masterminds behind the scenes would quickly withdraw when they saw that the situation was not going well.
After all, even the United States, a player all over the world who is messing around, will not allow Yangbayi waters to enter the "era of great pirates", not to mention the other four major talkers. This "maritime crossroads" is too important.
After thinking for a while, Ah Sheng already had a rough guess in his mind. He picked up his wine glass and touched it with the people at the table.
"Okay, I think I've sorted out my thoughts. Thank you, Yuri."
