Arms starts with hyenas in the Middle East

Chapter 493: Massacre, Concealment

The deep comradeship between them cannot be demonstrated without a fight!

"Liang, don't be so serious. There is an old saying in your country Xia that if you smile, you can live ten years longer. Keeping a smile can bring us good luck. Don't be too harsh. Do you want one?"

Seeing the other party turn around again, Oleg couldn't help but try to persuade him to smooth things over. He took out a box of ATLANTA cigarettes from his pocket. However, since this was an old saying, I could only say that the meaning was almost right, but it always felt weird.

ATLANTA cigarettes are a brand owned by NET, a niche tobacco company in the UAE. They have a rough taste, strong flavor, and a bit spicy in the middle and back. In plain words, they are not very easy to smoke, but the price is relatively cheap.

"Sorry, we have a rule not to allow smoking."

Liang Muzhe used his hand to block the cigarette handed to him by the other party. He didn't dare to take it.

"Haha, I told you a long time ago, don't always buy these low-quality cigarettes, otherwise people won't be happy to take them when you give them to them. They're really hard to smoke. Look at mine, Furongwang, exclusively for the UAE!"

Seeing this, Andre laughed at the situation without any hesitation and took out a Furong King cigarette from his pocket. However, he did not pass on the cigarettes. He just popped out a few and distributed them to Nicholas and the others, then lit one for himself and took a puff with relish.

He is not stupid. Of course he knows that the PLA's military discipline is strict. There may be controversy about which army in the world is the strongest. No one will admit defeat. Even those who have fought may not agree with their past achievements, let alone those who have never fought. But if you want to say which army has the strictest discipline, if the PLA says it is second, no one dares to say it is first. This is undisputed worldwide.

Looking at a group of people smoking here, Liang Muzhe and others didn't say anything. After all, not only did they not belong to the same unit as them, but strictly speaking, they were not even regular troops. He couldn't care less. Moreover, even if they were regular troops, the soldiers from the United States could smoke, drink, and perm their hair. Even special forces would not completely prohibit it. Unlike them, smoking and drinking were absolutely not allowed.

"Guys, I have a piece of advice for you. Let everyone be more vigilant. Boss said that if the people from the United States don't take action before boarding the ship, they will definitely take action at sea. My intuition tells me that Boss is right. Don't doubt it. It has saved my life more than once!"

Oleg did not continue to argue with Andrei, but spoke to Liang Muzhe with a serious face.

"I understand. We also have some guesses about this. This mission is very important to us!"

Seeing Oleg become serious, Liang Muzhe also said with a serious face: "I brought people here to tell you this. We are now in the Strait of Hormuz. According to intelligence, there are pirate activities in this area all year round. We suspect that the American people will use the hands of pirates or even directly act as pirates to attack us. We are just a transport cargo ship without attack capabilities, so we can only rely on ourselves to solve it."

The two sides began to discuss the details of the defense deployment. In fact, there was no complicated and strict arrangement. After all, the total number of people on both sides was only more than ten people, so they could only do their best to be as perfect as possible.

The Strait of Hormuz is the only waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean. Its geographical location is extremely important. Due to the rich oil resources in the region, the Strait of Hormuz has become one of the most important energy channels in the world. It handles 60% of the world's crude oil. As one of the most important energy channels in the world, a large number of cargo ships pass through here all year round. Basically all the oil in the Gulf region passes through here. So even if all countries are guarding here strictly, there is still no shortage of people who take risks.

This is also one of the necessary routes for the freighter to get from the UAE to Xia Country. As the freighter moved forward, it naturally encountered freighters from other countries and even some escort warships, including those from the United States, the British Empire, and France. Liang Muzhe, who was nervous, was full of vigilance when he saw any freighter or warship he encountered on the way, especially when he encountered ships from the United States. He was even more alert. After all, if the other party's people were hiding in these ships, it would not be difficult to deal with them. To put it bluntly, their freighter had no countermeasures at all. Whether to board the ship or sink it directly by the warship was entirely up to others.

The only good news is that the other party is coming for the things on the ship, so they will most likely choose to board the ship to fight. After all, if the things fall into the boundless ocean with the ship, it will be difficult to salvage them, and it is easy to cause trouble. The people of the United States will not do this unless they are fools. Moreover, they have no escort warships in this sea area, and the defensive personnel on the ship are extremely limited. Boarding the ship to fight is obviously the best choice.

The ship sailed slowly on the sea. It did not encounter the expected enemies or pirate attacks along the way. But just as the ship was about to cross the Strait of Hormuz and enter the Arabian Sea, something happened and the alarm on the ship was sounded.

It was night time, and under the cover of darkness, five kayaks quickly approached the freighter from behind at a very fast speed.

"Enemy attack!"

Liang Muzhe and Oleg looked at each other and both pointed their guns at the kayak. If an ordinary Xia country cargo ship faced this group of pirates, it might be helpless and could only watch the other party board the ship and then be kidnapped. But they were different. As long as they discovered the other party at the first time, it would not be difficult to stop them.

The bright searchlight shone in the direction of the kayaks, making the five kayaks clearly visible. The pirates on them were holding a variety of weapons in their hands, and the cruel expressions on their faces became a little stiff for a moment. This freighter seemed to be a little different from the Xia freighters they had encountered before.

There was actually a group of fully armed soldiers on the ship, holding sophisticated weapons. And judging from their individual equipment, they were completely different from ordinary soldiers. They might have encountered a special forces unit on a mission! "Retreat! Retreat! Retreat!"

The pirates on the kayak shouted loudly with fear on their faces. The pirates who were controlling the kayak immediately turned around and tried to escape as quickly as possible. They were just pirates, not fools. Not to mention that they had not boarded the ship yet, they were like moving targets on the sea. Even if they boarded the ship, they didn't think they would have a chance of winning.

"Kill them!"

When Liang Muzhe and others saw the pirates turning around and trying to leave, they were still hesitant whether to open fire. After all, the other party did not make any further moves, and this was international waters. As PLA soldiers, they could not open fire on others unless they were clearly attacked, otherwise it would easily cause international disputes.

But Oleg and his men wouldn't care about so many bullshit rules. They didn't belong to the PLA, they belonged to the RFG Group. It was already merciful enough to treat these pirates by not chasing them to their lair and killing them all. How could they let go of these pirates who wanted to attack them?
If I don't beat the shit out of you, I'll consider you've done it cleanly!

Magnetic magnetic magnetic magnetic...

Several members of Oleg's team pulled the trigger without hesitation. A slight electric sound was heard, and the pirates who were fleeing on the kayak were hit by the bullets that tore through the air. Several of them were torn to pieces on the spot. There was even an unlucky guy who was hit by the TG-1 semi-automatic anti-material Gauss sniper rifle in Vasily's hand. His whole body was blown apart on the spot, and blood mist was flying all over the sky. The bullet that pierced his body exploded immediately, and a ball of orange-yellow flame like from hell ignited, which immediately contaminated the other pirates on the kayak. One by one, they turned into human torches, screaming and struggling, but to no avail. They jumped into the sea one after another to extinguish the flames on their bodies. But in this vast ocean, jumping into the sea meant death, and there was no chance of survival at all.

High explosive incendiary bomb!
For Oleg and the others, this was a simple one-sided massacre, nothing more, the pirates who came to attack did not cause any damage, they could not even get close to the ship, they were slaughtered, bullets flew, one by one, Liang Muzhe opened his mouth, but finally held back the words that were on his lips to stop them, the other party was not a soldier from the same system as them, they were just in the same camp at present, he had no reason and no right to control what the other party should do.

Let it be an international dispute. Anyway, we have not fired a single bullet.

"Wow, that's so violent!"

Tian Yong beside Liang Muzhe had a little shock on his face and couldn't help muttering. This scene had a great impact on him. As a soldier of the PLA, even if they were one of the most elite special forces, they would only shoot when they had no choice in most of their previous missions. Moreover, the rifles they usually used could not cause the shocking scene before them at all, not to mention the white phosphorus that burned people into firemen. This slightly cruel method was basically not used by them. At least he had never even heard of any brother unit using this weapon. Seeing such a scene now, no one vomited, which showed that they were mentally strong and had strong self-control. After all, the scene of flying limbs was not only shocking, but also quite disgusting.

Not only Tian Yong, but the rest of the commando team were also looking at the kayaks on the sea with shock on their faces. The battle or the massacre was over at this time. These kayaks were either overturned or stopped on the sea, covered in blood. There were also some broken limbs that silently told how tragic and cruel the massacre was.

The strong smell of blood attracted sharks in the sea. They showed up one after another, but they all had one thing in common: after following the smell of blood, these great white sharks only took a light bite of the broken limbs and then spit out the pieces of meat in their mouths. Then they left again in disgust and overturned the kayaks on the sea.

Most sharks have no interest in humans. The reason is that their digestive systems are almost incapable of processing human flesh and blood. There is no doubt that their teeth are extremely sharp, but their digestive systems cannot digest human skin and bones. This leads to the fact that they rarely choose to eat humans unless they have to. Although large sharks such as great white sharks, bull sharks and mako sharks will attack humans, they will only attack and will not choose to swallow. In most cases, they will try to bite because they have never seen a human before, and then spit it out with a look of disgust.

Of course, just because most sharks won't eat humans doesn't mean there are no sharks that do eat humans. For example, the tiger shark is an omnivore among sharks. It is not picky at all and eats everything, including marine mammals, seabirds, sea turtles, sea snakes, and whale carcasses. If a person is unlucky enough to encounter this guy in the ocean, it's basically death.

"Liang, you are too kind. When dealing with enemies who attempt to attack us, we should kill them like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, using the most cruel and efficient means. Being kind to the enemy is the greatest cruelty to yourself."

After seeing that all the pirates were killed by him, Oleg turned around and said to Liang Muzhe.

"Mr. Jiandun, we are PLA soldiers. We can't wantonly slaughter a group of pirates who pose no threat to us and have already fled like you do. If they were in our territorial waters, we would arrest them. But unfortunately, this is the high seas and we don't have the right to do that."

Although Liang Muzhe agreed with Oleg's words, he was more aware of the difference between his own identity and the other party's. Moreover, even if he could, he would not massacre the pirates like Oleg and others, but would capture them as much as possible.

But no one noticed that while they were talking to each other and the ship continued to sail forward, thinking that the danger was over, several figures wearing frogman suits and carrying large backpacks on their backs had already grabbed the outer wall of the ship in the other direction and were climbing up. Obviously, the pirates who came to attack were just a cover, and the real attackers did not show up from beginning to end. They just took advantage of the pirates to attract the attention of Oleg, Liang Muzhe and others, and secretly sneaked onto the ship from another direction.

These people are naturally the special forces sent by the United States this time, SEAL Team Six!
They came under the ship through submarines and then lurked. They had never tried to board the ship from the front. After all, whoever formulated the battle plan was not a fool knew that both the Xia Kingdom and the RFG attached great importance to this batch of goods and would definitely guard it strictly. Although they did not expect that they would only use a merchant ship to carry out the transportation mission in order to conceal the truth, even so, there must be a certain number of security personnel on the ship, and it is absolutely impossible that there were no arrangements. The only outcome of a frontal attack would probably be death, and the mission would fail.
