Chapter 605: World Problems

Orr Hanvin nodded sadly. It was precisely because he, Burpech Colum, had always abided by the ban of the Sergei family, that he was targeted by the neighboring warlords, and ended up being ruined miserably.

Before, he had no doubts about the iron law of the Solan Kingdom, because it proved that everyone can still live well without relying on sea robbery for a living.

But when the flames of war spread to Solan, he himself doubted his life, and insisted on whether it was right or wrong. He looked at the ceiling with doubts and tears in his eyes, as if there was an answer there.

For Wu Qian, who lived in the Celestial Dynasty, it was impossible to imagine the misery of the third world. He asked in a deep voice: "I have heard about pirates before, but are pirates still so rampant now? After so many years, Isn't it better?"

Wu Qian knew that the Suez Canal was a very important sea transportation route, because with this canal, countless merchant ships no longer had to detour from South Africa, saving immeasurable transportation costs.

There are countless merchant ships passing through the Suez Canal every year, and there are all kinds of ships in various countries. Isn't it important to attack them?

Or Hanwen took a sip of water from Kureta, raised his moving hand and wiped his face, and told Wu Qian about the current situation in the Gulf of Aden.

Suez’s long coastline strangles the main channel of the Suez Canal. Tens of thousands of merchant ships pass through the bay every year. Local fishermen cannot compete with large foreign fishing boats and cannot enjoy the dividends of fishery resources. merchant ship.

Sometimes fishermen are pirates, and pirates are fishermen. Due to humanitarian considerations, it is not good to attack indiscriminately, so pirates survived in the cracks.

The piracy off the coast of Soko and the Gulf of Aden is a worldwide problem, and now a business chain in the dark has evolved.

In the eyes of some locals, being a pirate is not an illegal and criminal activity, but a glorious profession, which enjoys high popularity and social status in the local area.After receiving the ransom, the pirates will also purchase large ships, speedboats, light and heavy weapons, bazookas, radars, satellite phones, GPS and other high-tech equipment to arm themselves, update their equipment, and even expand their range of activities to the Mozambique Strait and the East Indian Ocean thousands of kilometers away. The sea area poses a greater threat to shipping routes.

The combat effectiveness of pirates with high-end equipment is not the same. Even today's pirates are becoming more and more cultured. After being caught, they know how to use international law to take advantage of loopholes and justify themselves.

"In order to seek investment, the pirates set up a pirate stock exchange. As far as I know, there are more than seventy pirate groups listed. Interested investors buy stocks. Stocks don't have to be bought with cash, guns and rocket-propelled grenades, etc. Weapons count as currency."

Al Hanwen finished speaking and looked at the sky outside the window, unable to tell whether he was disgusted or envious of the behavior of his compatriots.

Wu Qian felt as if he was listening to a book. This kind of story actually happened in the 21st century, which made him feel unbelievable, and he didn't know what to say.

Al Hanwen continued: "The biggest beneficiaries of the pirate hijacking incident are not the pirates who go to sea, but the investors. The pirates can only get [-]% of the ransom. After the investors share the money, they will do Some good things."

"Such as maintaining health care, expanding schools and residential communities, etc..."

Wu Qian shook his head, really couldn't understand this kind of social form, he said: "It can be seen that people in your country still have ideas to develop well... Well, Orr, you should take a good rest."

After finishing speaking, Wu Qian winked and beckoned Kuretta to talk outside.

The two walked out the door, and outside the door stood the tall and straight security personnel of the Sergey family. Bauer was having fun with the security personnel, but it was a pity that they could not speak the language.

"Let's find a place to talk." Wu Qian said to Kureta.

Kuretta led Wu Qian to a study room and closed the door behind him.

Entering the house, Wu Qian asked Kureta one step ahead: "Mr. Kureta, how do you plan to solve the matter of Suoguo?"

Wu Qian had a big plan in his mind, but he didn't want to say it first, so he asked the question first, intending to see what Kuretta thought.

Kuretta took a deep breath, his shoulders were a few inches wider, his eyes stared at a portrait hanging on the wall, and said: "The blood of the descendants of the Sergey family cannot be shed in vain, and the debt is paid with blood!"

"I want to wipe out the three-party coalition warlords who destroyed Solan's defense line, and avenge Alennon and Krasha!"

It is very clear that the incident in front of the Louvre was caused by the people sent by the three-party coalition warlords. These people don't take anyone seriously, and they are even more unreasonable than terrorists.

The corner of Wu Qian's mouth twitched, and he thought, "Just tell me, there's no need for Morris to go to heaven to find me. It's a waste of air ticket money, and Kuretta rushed to solve the problem by himself.

He is not a parent, so he can't empathize with the pain of Kureta's loss of his son and daughter, but he can fully understand this feeling. Just imagine, if it were him, he would probably do the same.

Fortunately, he was not the one who endured this matter, and he could still think calmly.

Wu Qian nodded and said, "And then?"

Kuretta was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand, he looked at Wu Qian with questioning eyes.

"I said what to do after defeating those three warlords?" Wu Qian repeated.

Kuretta walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a box of cigars, and said, "Then, let Or Hanwen regain control of Soran, and hope that everything can return to the previous situation."

Maoziguo provides arms to more than [-] countries and regions around the world, and the annual arms transaction volume is as high as [-] billion U.S. dollars. The Sergey family’s business is not so extensive, and they only communicate with some countries in the Middle East and Africa. The Hanwen Patriotic Army is very important business partner, he doesn't want to lose it.

After taking care of the enemy, the next step is to support business partners. The overall goal is not wrong.

Kuretta opened the cigar box and took a carrot-thick cigar and handed it to Wu Qian. He also took two wine glasses from the bookshelf, took out a bottle of vodka from the drawer, and filled the two glasses.

"This is the vodka specially brewed for our family by the Nizhny Novgorod Brewery. It tastes better than Rosso Polo and Red Card. I respect you, Wu."

Rosso Polo and Red Card are both famous vodka distilleries in Maoziguo.

Wu Qian picked up the vodka, which is the water of life for Mao Zi, and smelled it. Maybe he didn't understand the true meaning of it, and only felt a smell of alcohol...

He heard that the vodka has a very high concentration, and he was afraid to drink it all at once, which would delay his work, so he only took a small sip, feeling that his tongue was a bit hot and almost didn't taste the taste, so he put the cup back on the table.
