Chapter 1592 Let's make peace (50)

Pirates in this country extort merchant ships from various countries every year, and the amount is difficult to estimate, so that the United Nations launched an investigation and attack on the pirate base of Somalia.

There are four major gangs of Somali pirates: Puntland Guards, Volunteer Guardians of the National Seashore, Merka, and Somali Sailors.

On April 2011, 4, the United Nations Security Council decided to set up a special court inside and outside Somalia to try the suspects who committed piracy in the waters near Somalia.

The reason why piracy in the Somali Sea area is so rampant is mainly due to geographical reasons, in addition to political turmoil and military fire.

The Somali sea area is close to the Gulf of Aden, and the narrow waterway is an ideal place for pirate activities.

Surrounded by Somali and Yemen, the Gulf of Aden is located between the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. It is the maritime throat from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. Its strategic position is very important.

According to statistics, about 1.8 ships pass through the Suez Canal every year, most of which pass through the Gulf of Aden.

And this important international waterway also provided a large number of targets for the Somali pirates.

There are two world-renowned seaports on the west side of the Gulf of Aden, namely the Port of Aden on the north coast and the Port of Djibouti on the south coast. They are important fuel ports and trade transit ports for the routes from the Indian Ocean to the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.

Guarding the southeast exit of the Mediterranean Sea and the entire Middle East, it has an important strategic position and is the throat of the Suez Canal.

Due to poverty, most people have engaged in this crime in order to seek a way out.The arrival of European fishing boats to catch tuna wiped out the fisheries on which fishermen depended.

Somalia has been in constant war since 1991, and piracy is rampant in the coastal area. It is listed by the International Maritime Bureau as one of the most dangerous sea areas in the world.

It is reported that nearly 5 ships from various countries pass through the waters near Somali every year. Except for the warships of various countries that cannot be attacked, most of them are large and small freighters.

After the international peacekeeping force arrived in Somali, they approached the city near the Gulf of Djibouti for a short rest and reorganization.

There are about a thousand peacekeeping troops from the eight countries, all of whom are elites of the armed forces of various countries, most of them are navies, and there are not many amphibious soldiers like the Jiaolong team.

The team is divided into two teams, one team is called the Blood Leopard team, which is composed of one team from Europe and Asia.

The other team is composed of the army of the empire, a team from another country in Asia, and soldiers from two countries in North America, called the Cobra team.

The two teams are called the International Rescue Team, and the operation is code-named "Lion Project".

There are about 600 people in each team, and each team selects a captain and a vice captain. Because He Xuan has rich experience in peacekeeping forces, he was elected as the vice captain.

As for the captain, there is a young colonel in Brazil in his 30s.

In the team, everyone has no name, and all use code names.

He Xuan is a poisonous snake, Lu Qian is a spider, and prison Jinsi and Xu Yi are night wolves and foxes respectively.

Two days later, the two teams split up. The Blood Leopards went to the Red Sea, while the Cobras went to the Gulf of Aden.

The captain of the Cobra team had a series of plans. He divided the team into two teams, one team of North American soldiers and one team of Asian teams, led by the captain and vice-captain.

The squad headed by He Xuan has about three to four hundred people, most of whom are soldiers from the empire.
