Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1199 Zayed, you’re not done yet, are you?!

Retreat also takes time, and Kong Ziqian doesn't care what happens in the meantime.

The pirates survived the disaster, but it was not good news for the tourists who were hoping to be rescued by the army.

After a fierce battle, the pirates, who had just experienced life and death, were emotionally unstable and their behavior was unpredictable. It was obvious that they did not have many moral standards.

Transporting looted supplies is a main storyline, while venting is a side quest.

Obviously, in ten months, there will be a lot more mixed-race children in the world.

After all, abortion is not allowed everywhere.

There were quite a few pirates on board. There were at least 500 of them before, but now, including those who were able to return with broken limbs, there were less than 200 of them.

Kong Ziqian looked at these dozens of speedboats and felt sad.

He now understood that the speedboat was used by Zayed and his men to transport the 107 rocket launchers.

But at this moment, the number of pirates on the speedboat was sparse, with usually only 2-3 people on a speedboat.

Even if it was loaded with a lot of supplies, it still looked empty.

All the pirates stood on the speedboat, staring at the cruise ship that had caused them heavy casualties, their eyes filled with anger.

Kong Ziqian shrank his neck, hugged Imanda and hid in the corner of the speedboat, not daring to speak.

Just now, he saved the remaining survivors on the ship with his own merits, and stopped the pirates from killing people.

However, he was worrying too much.

The pirates had no time to think about these things at the moment.

Zayd stood on the speedboat, looking at the already shattered cruise ship, his heart filled with anger and humiliation.

There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, as if he wanted to remember everything that happened before his eyes.

Thinking back on the whole incident, the anger in his heart grew more intense.

"All of this is a trap set by Brussels Nyerere!"

Zayd roared in his heart.

He clearly remembered that the provider of the 107 rocket launchers this time was the Nyerere family.

Only Brussels and he knew about the whole incident.

However, as soon as the pirates boarded the ship, they were targeted by French warships.

Zaid refused to believe this was a coincidence.

The attack from the French warships did not give them any chance to negotiate or even surrender. They launched a violent attack right from the start, obviously intending to kill them.

Zayed knew clearly that all this was a conspiracy by Brussels.

He took advantage of himself and the pirates, pushing them into a desperate situation.

As for why...

Very simple!
The four major Somali pirate forces all have the shadows of neighboring countries behind them.

He raised his right index finger, pointed it diagonally toward the sky, and swore devoutly: "I! Zaran Zaid...Sayed...Hussein!

I swear by Allah today that I will hunt down Brussels Nyerere in the world until he dies!"

His voice was firm and powerful, as if declaring his determination to heaven and earth.

"Brussels Nyerere, you traitor!" Zayd roared in his heart.

He felt deeply betrayed. He originally thought that the person he was working with was a partner, but he did not expect that he was such a sinister villain.

He wanted Brussels to pay for what he had done, and the entire Nyerere family to pay for their betrayal.

The pirates on the speedboat also knelt on one knee, pointed their index fingers to the sky, and repeated Zayd's oath.

Their voices merged together, as if declaring their anger and determination to the world.

Kong Ziqian was listening nearby and looked confused.

What the hell is going on?!
How did he get involved with his cheap classmate Brussels Nyerere again?
He swallowed and didn't dare to ask anything. He just decided to inquire about it privately later.

After all, the Nyerere family is an important partner of the Yanhuang Group in Tanzania, and his cheap boss Qing Yun also has a deep friendship with Brussels.

The reason why Yanhuang Group set up its African headquarters in Tanzania instead of Kenya, which has stronger economic strength, is not only because of the deep friendship between China and Tanzania, but also because of its close ties with the Nyerere family.

Kong Ziqian's eyes were fixed on the trajectory of the speedboat formation, his brows slightly furrowed.

Originally, he fully expected that these speedboats would speed straight towards the coastline.

But contrary to expectations, they actually sailed away obliquely towards the open sea, drawing a unique arc, and after bypassing Chakchak Island, they suddenly turned around and headed towards the land.

He couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, what are these pirates up to? Why are they doing such a thing?

Thousands of kilometers of vast ocean lie between them and Somalia. With the speedboat they are riding now, which has limited horsepower and endurance, it is impossible for it to cross such a long distance and reach Somalia.

However, based on his general understanding of the situation in this sea area, he estimated that the destination was most likely on the Kenyan coastline between Tanzania and Somalia.

When he thought of this, Kong Ziqian felt his head buzzing.

It would be a real hassle to return to Tanzania from there.

Just thinking about the long journey and the complicated traffic made him feel tired.

He prayed silently in his heart that he could be closer to Mombasa.

It is one of the largest ports in East Africa, with a long history and a great reputation in history. The farthest point that Zheng He reached during his voyage to the West was here.

If they could get there, even if they couldn't go back by plane, it would be convenient to take a boat. The port of Mombasa is busy, with many ships coming and going, and there would always be a ship that could take them back to Tanzania.

He even started to think about whether he could stay in Kenya for a few more days.
After all, this experience was too thrilling and the fright was too great that it made his heart tremble with fear.

In addition to cashing in his sales bonus when he returns, he also plans to ask his cheap boss for additional compensation for mental damage, as compensation for his thrilling journey.

At least it should be enough to buy a house in Dar es Salaam and Huating!

Do not!
To the big field!

Of course, among all these thoughts, what Kong Ziqian was most looking forward to was to live a shameless, relaxed and comfortable life as a couple with Imanda after landing, leaving behind the thrills and fatigue of the journey and enjoying their own world.

……

Sure enough, the speedboat eventually came ashore in a desolate and remote spot on the Kenyan coastline.

There is no bird life here and the surroundings are desolate. Only the whistling sea breeze brings a hint of coolness.

It was obvious that this was a temporary camp of pirates.

As soon as the pirates landed, a group of their companions emerged from the nearby caves and woods.

They were wearing ragged clothes and had weather-beaten faces. One could tell at a glance that they were pirates who had been wandering on the sea for a long time.

Seeing that the number of people returning was sparse, the companions probably guessed what had happened.

For a moment, scenes of sorrow and joy were played out.

Many people started crying, and an atmosphere of grief spread throughout the camp.

Some women cried heart-wrenchingly, as if they wanted to release all the pain in their hearts.

Some of them were looking at the older people and crying silently, with a hint of despair in their eyes.

Lucky people hug their loved ones and friends tightly, as if they are afraid they will lose them if they let go.

However, these pirates seemed to be indifferent to life and death. After grieving for a while, they began to prepare for evacuation.

One after another, pickup trucks removed their camouflage and emerged from caves, woods, and even sand.

These pickups look old, but still usable.

It is obviously used by pirates to transport supplies and personnel.

Some pickup trucks are covered with branches and weeds, while others are buried in sand. Their true appearance can only be seen after the camouflage is removed.

Seeing this, Kong Ziqian hurriedly took Imanda to say goodbye to Zayed and asked him to send a car to take him to Mombasa.

He thought to himself that Mombasa was a big city with convenient transportation, and once he got there he could get rid of these pirates and return to his normal life.

However, something he never expected happened.

Zayd had no intention of sending them away. Instead, he asked other pirates to put him and Imanda under house arrest.

Kong Ziqian looked confused and couldn't help but ask Zayed: "My brother, what do you mean? Didn't we agree that we are even now?" There was a hint of anger and confusion in his voice, and his eyes also revealed his dissatisfaction with Zayed.

Zayd shook his finger with a sincere smile on his face, "My brother, don't get me wrong, I am inviting you to Somalia as my guest."

However, this smile was not so pleasant in the eyes of Kong Xiaopang.

Only a psychopath would visit Somalia!

Kong Ziqian suppressed his anger and said, "That's not necessary. I have to go back and get you a cell phone."

He tried to impress Zayd by offering to buy a cell phone, hoping that he would let him go.

Zaid smiled and said, "You can still contact China from Somalia."

His tone was very relaxed, as if he didn't take Kong Ziqian's words to heart at all.

Seeing that he was unmoved, Kong Ziqian became furious and asked, "Zaid, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

He was feeling angry. He felt sympathy, understanding and respect for these pirates, but as a good man, he didn't want to have anything to do with them.

I just want to hide as far away as possible.

Zayed sighed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "My brother, there is an old saying in your country, 'He who knows the times is a hero.

I mean... you're welcome to join us."

His tone was sincere, and he seemed to really hope that Kong Ziqian could join them.

After saying that, Zayed was too lazy to talk nonsense with Kong Ziqian and asked everyone to get on the convoy and prepare to go home quickly.

After all, this is the coastline of Kenya, which is not very safe. A small group of Tibetans are fine, but hundreds of people will be too conspicuous, so they have to leave quickly.

……

Sitting in the passenger seat of a shabby but good-performing pickup truck, Zaid turned around and explained to Kong Ziqian with a polite look on his face,
“Brother, the functions of those military mobile phones you told us about and demonstrated to us before are indeed very powerful.

These things will undoubtedly greatly enhance our combat capabilities.

I can even conclude that this type of mobile phone will allow us to create a huge information-based combat advantage in our environment and change the form of combat.

And you can help me, brother, I am in great need of people."

He spent two years studying in China in the early 90s, when the Chinese military's C3I (command, control, communications and intelligence systems) was developing rapidly.

He was inevitably influenced by this aspect.

It can be said that no one alive in Somalia understands C3I better than Zaid.

Even Zayed keenly discovered that in his current combat environment, he could completely replace the computer with a mobile phone and enter the C4I stage.

But all this has to temporarily depend on Confucius Qian.

It’s not that Kong Ziqian is so awesome, but because he returned to China in the early 90s and has been exposed to bullets and gunfire ever since. His familiarity with contemporary electronic products is far inferior to that of young people like Kong Ziqian.

Moreover, Kong Ziqian has a biggest advantage. They have all experienced life and death together. It can be proved from facts that the little fat man in front of him is someone he can trust.

This is the fundamental reason.

Kong Ziqian looked at the 'brother' in front of him with a complicated expression.

Zayd's expression was very polite, but he saw an unquestionable look in Zayd's eyes.

He knew exactly what Zaid wanted to do.

Kong Ziqian secretly complained and looked at Zayd speechlessly, but he still spoke,
"Brother! Are you kidding me? I'm just a sophomore at best, and I don't even attend classes every day. I don't even know anything about informationized warfare."

Zaid just smiled and said, "You are the most suitable one at the moment."

Kong Ziqian was anxious, "No... I can transfer a few engineers to you. They are much more familiar with the product than I am."

Damn it, I would rather my friend die than let me die!
He is in sales, and after-sales work should not be done by a bunch of science and engineering engineers!

"But I only trust you."

These words were concise and to the point, and the trust expressed in them made Confucius Ziqian feel at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Zayd smiled and continued, “Besides, because these things are so important to us, I must make sure I can get these mobile phones.

That’s why I kept you here. I think it makes sense.”

Having said that, Zayd suddenly took out a dagger from his waist and stabbed his arm without hesitation.

This action frightened Confucius Ziqian instantly.

His eyes widened, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he stared blankly at the blood gushing out of Zayd's arm.

Zayd endured the severe pain, still with a warm smile on his face, and said, "This knife is just my apology to my brother."

His voice was very calm, as if the arm he had just stabbed was not his own, but someone else's.

Zayd's act of self-mutilation was an extreme way of making amends, but it was also a psychological tactic he used against Kong Ziqian.

In this way, he hoped that Kong Ziqian would feel his sincerity and determination, and at the same time make Kong Ziqian understand that he had no way out and could only choose to stay and help himself.

There was a hint of cunning in Zayd's eyes.

He knew that this knife would not only shock the fat boy who was less than 20 years old in front of him, but also make him feel a sense of responsibility and guilt psychologically, making it easier for him to accept his request.

As he expected, Kong Ziqian's heart was in turmoil at this moment.

He never expected that Zayd would express his apology in this way.

He knew that Zayd was not a simple pirate leader, but a man with a complex inner world and firm beliefs.

When faced with this kind of psychopath who is both good and evil, Confucius Qian is also at a loss.

He sighed and could only nod.

Kong Ziqian was also very clear that if he said anything more, it would be considered as being ignorant and breaking off relations.

Zayd's actions have shown his determination, and if he continues to insist on leaving, the situation will only become more tense and dangerous.

Seeing this, Zayd smiled with satisfaction, and then quickly rummaged through the medicine box to bandage himself.

The injury was not actually serious. After all, he was a man who had experienced life and death, and he knew the distribution of muscles and blood vessels clearly.

This cut is visually shocking, but it is not actually life-threatening and the patient will recover in less than a month.

But after the bandage was done, Zayed said he had one more request.

Confucius said angrily: "If you have to fart, do it now!"

Zayed smiled, took a deep look at Imanda next to him, and then said,

"I want you to marry my three half sisters, triplets.

Don't worry, they are of mixed Arab and African descent. They may not look as good as your girlfriend, but they are not ugly either."

Kong Ziqian was furious when he heard this: "Zaid, you are not done yet, are you?!"

Zayd shrugged his shoulders and said very seriously, "Listen to me, our parents died in the civil war, and I am their only relative in this world.

You also know that as the leader of a tribe, I have many difficulties that I have to face.

My younger sisters just turned 18 last month and are now of marriageable age.

Sitting in my position, I have to face the fact that these three sisters are the price I pay to win over the surrounding tribes and even my trusted subordinates, and they are also a means for others to make friends with me. "

At this point, Zaid sighed dejectedly: “I may not be a good person in your eyes, but I think I am a good brother.

You have seen what happened today. Given my current situation, I may not see tomorrow at any time.

You should also be aware that in war-torn environments, the fate of women is often more tragic.

Although my sisters were forced upon you, and there is no so-called free will or choice, at least your Chinese identity can keep them away from the war."

Kong Ziqian was silent, and then asked Zaid irritably: "Then how are you going to explain this to your people?
I think you have many people who would like to propose marriage to you!"

Regardless of whether he was willing or not, he felt that Zayd had deceived him on at least one issue.

That means these three girls of Zayed must be very ugly!
In Africa, the legal age for girls to get married is very early, and people here have a short life expectancy, so girls in war-torn areas get married even earlier.

Some of the things are outrageous, and their age is enough to be sentenced to death in China.

And in Somalia, which has been in civil war, girls are still not married at the age of 18?
How ugly that would be!
