Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 269 Lock
Shanying could see that Kadit didn't particularly believe in the hijacking of the cruise ship, because such a thing had not happened internationally for many years.

Although piracy is still rampant in waters around the world, pirates also need to keep up with the times.

Robbing cargo ships and oil tankers has lower risks, higher returns, and milder consequences than robbing cruise ships.

As cruise ships involve territorial jurisdiction and location jurisdiction, and also involve hostage issues, if not handled properly it may lead to involvement by major powers.

Because you have robbed cargo ships and oil tankers, the cargo on them can first be quickly converted into cash, and then you can use the valuable cargo ships to negotiate with the shipowners and insurance companies for another deal.

The profits are extremely high, but there are not many competitors.

It’s different with cruise ships. In addition to the shipowner and the insurance company, the huge group of relatives and friends behind the thousands of hostages can easily create huge public opinion.

Not to mention whether you can get the money. Even if you compromise and get the money, the big country that feels humiliated will make you never have peace.

By then, a global wanted notice will only be the beginning. Cruise lines, insurance companies, families of victims and hostages, various chambers of commerce and corporate alliances, and private NGOs can all pool their money to arrest you.

In the past 80 years, all the recorded cruise ship hijacking cases in the world were committed by Israel and Palestine. They were both trying to make political demands, and only Israel caused casualties.

It's not that those pirates are incapable, but hijacking a cruise ship is leading them onto the path of becoming the public enemy of humanity, and the consequences are too serious for them.

However, although Kadit was skeptical, he believed that the energy was sufficient.

When the plane was still half an hour away from Phuket, the list of cruise ships around Phuket was sent to us.

Looking at the handwritten list presented by Kadit, as well as the location of the cruise ship and its direction marked in red on a simple nautical chart, Shanying couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the young man and said, "Thank you, you've been a great help..."

Kadit glanced at Tessa, who had a serious expression, and wanted to comfort her, so he patted his chest and said, "You're welcome, Tessa is my friend, and protecting Thailand is the common responsibility of all of us.

Don't worry, my aunt is a member of the Phuket Provincial Council, and we can find a solution to any problem."

Kadit looked at Tessa and said, "Tessa, don't worry, I'll take care of everything!"

Tessa looked at Kadit who was taking on so much responsibility. She shook her head in disdain and said, "You are a loser who can't even go to the shooting range and can't even hold a gun properly. What's the point of having you?

I don't know why Tagore likes to mess around with you guys. What else can you bastards do besides eating, drinking and having fun? "

Seeing that Tessa had escalated to personal attacks, Kadit spread his hands and shouted: "Hey, hey, hey, Tessa, although they are all bastards, they are also my friends..."

Tessa looked at Kadit, who automatically excluded herself from the category of bastards, and shook her head and said, "Your skin should be thick enough to withstand bullets. When we fight the pirates, I will pull you in front of me."

While Tessa was bickering with Kadit, Mountain Eagle, who was staring at the simple sea chart, pointed at a red dot marked with the Diamond Queen and said, "The Boatman Gang's target should be this!"

Tessa didn't bother to talk nonsense with Kadit. She came to the side of the Eagle, frowned at the ship that the Eagle had chosen, and said, "Why?
There are other cruise ships in the waters near Phuket. This ship is still nearly 10 hours away from Phuket Pier. Judging from its location, it has just entered Thai waters. "

Shanying looked at the names of several other ships and said, "Because the other ships that meet the requirements are either cruise ships departing from China or short cruise ships departing from Singapore.

Only the Diamond Queen is a long-distance cruise ship departing from Tokyo with a 25-day itinerary.”

Tessa was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

Shanying said with a complicated expression: "It doesn't mean anything, it just means that there must be very few Chinese people on this cruise ship."

Tessa frowned as she looked at the simple sea chart and said, "Based on this alone, you concluded that the Boatman Gang's target is him?

You have to have some reason, otherwise if you make a wrong judgment..."

Shanying nodded slightly and said, "The fact that there are not many Chinese people is the best reason!

Have you forgotten the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared in March this year?

Until now, China's navy is still searching at sea. Which Southeast Asian country cannot feel the anger contained therein?

At this time, the "Boatman Gang" jumped out and hijacked a cruise ship carrying many Chinese people, and then they would have no future.

The boss behind the 'Boatman Gang' is the pirate king Faiz. He is not an idiot after all, as he has made it to where he is today.

Of course, I am just guessing, but I prefer to believe in China's deterrence! "

Mountain Eagle looked at Tessa and said, “Send a risk warning to the Diamond Queen and keep an eye on their location.

The pirates from the boatman gang will definitely take action after they enter Thai waters, and if necessary, they will be forced to slow down their speed."

Tessa listened, nodded seriously, turned around and picked up the satellite phone to contact the outside world...

Kadit looked at the two men's serious expressions, hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is no problem with the warning, but without evidence, the other party will not accept the request to slow down.

The routes and speeds of these cruise ships are set. If they fail to arrive at their destination on time without force majeure, they will not only have to face problems at the port, but may also face huge claims from their guests.

Are you really sure?

If the other party really slows down as you requested, and nothing happens in the end, the consequences will be very serious.”

Shanying is actually not used to the foreign affairs energy of a small country like Thailand...

If it were a big country, and I gave you a warning, wouldn't you have to obey me?
And compensation! Are you kidding me?
But the reality is that Thailand cannot do this. Although the Thai military and police force have a completely authoritarian image internally, they are really lacking in their external dealings.

Moreover, their deep dependence on the tourism industry often makes them unable to move freely.

After hearing what Kadit said, Shanying was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently: "We are only responsible for early warning, whether to slow down is up to them.

But after the warning, if they don't obey, then it all depends on their luck. I'm just a temporary worker, so I don't care where I fight the pirates. It might be more convenient for me to fight on the cruise ship.

The ship departed from Tokyo. The Japanese are tough guys, they can definitely withstand a little pressure!"

As he spoke, Shanying looked at Kadit, who had a look of horror on his face. He pointed to the cockpit and said, "My friend, the plane is starting to descend. As the pilot, shouldn't you sit back?"

………………

When Shanying and his men began to land, Taimon, the new colonel commander of the maritime police, who had already set off from Krabi three hours ago, received a message from Tessa in the cockpit of a high-speed patrol boat.

The short but stern-looking Coast Guard captain read the information with a frown, then lowered his head to check the nautical chart.

A few minutes later, Taimon picked up the radio and said, "Go due west, turn on all radars, and don't miss any suspicious ships off the southern coast of Phuket."

Tymon pinched his nose hard and muttered to himself, "The Boatman Gang, pirates, hijacking cruise ships...

What exactly does Faiz want to do?
Island countries, Singapore, Thailand, who is his target? "

………………

"That has nothing to do with us!"

Shanying stood beside a Black Hawk helicopter, sorting out the heavy firepower that Tagore had obtained through connections, while responding to the questioning of the "Killer Bee"...

This "big sister" was called by Shanying from Krabi. With him were the assaulter "Big Mouth", the demolitionist "Broadcast", and the machine gunner "Measles"...

Except for the sniper 'Shengun' who was driving a taxi in Bangkok and was too late to arrive, the first batch of Thai mercenaries cooperating with Shanying were gathered together again.

With them was the old pervert and sharpshooter Eddie, but after seeing Daria, this old man forgot everything and just kept hanging around Daria.

The Killer Bees behaved very professionally. In order to get to Phuket as Shanying required, they had to find people from M·A Company and send a plane over. Only in this way could they bring their own weapons.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the place, we found that Shanying was actually cooperating with the Thai police force, and had even borrowed a Black Hawk helicopter from the army. There were many terrifying weapons squatting next to the plane.

Killer Bee waited until Mountain Eagle finished carefully inspecting a rubber assault boat, then he stepped forward, pulled Mountain Eagle's arm, and said unhappily, "I don't care what the enemy's goal is, but if the opponent is really the 'Pirate King', then you have to give me a good price.

I spent 10 fucking baht to get here as quickly as possible and got groped by that old bastard Kirilenko from M.A.

Shanying ignored the killer bee. He carefully fixed the assault boat to the bottom of the Black Hawk, then checked the ropes several times without getting tired of it. Then he smiled at the somewhat dissatisfied crew pilots, took out several stacks of banknotes and stuffed them into the hands of several crew members...

He also didn't expect that Tagore was so powerful that he could borrow a Black Hawk helicopter from the military.

This thing looks really old, and the place we are going to is the vast ocean. Shanying must make good friends with these guys...

"Dude, make sure to fill up the tank and check it a few more times to make sure nothing goes wrong!"

After dealing with these crew members, Shanying pulled Killer Bee to the cabin door and said, "This mission is indeed risky...

The first was that my intelligence was wrong, and then we returned empty-handed.

The second is to face those pirates. Whether it is fighting at sea or boarding a ship, we don’t have as many people as the enemy.

However, if this mission to rescue the cruise ship is successful, the benefits will definitely be huge.

We can then split the bonus offered by Thailand, or you can name a price, and I promise not to bargain this time."

Killer Bee glanced at the heavy firepower around her and said through gritted teeth: "400 million..."

Shanying was stunned for a moment and said, "Thai baht?"

Killer Bee nodded vigorously and said, "Forget about the deposit. The 400 million will be paid in one lump sum afterwards. When the time comes, just give it directly to Jon and let him help with the operation.

I heard from Luo Yang that the guy made tens of millions of baht in a week. I must be included in this good thing!"

After hearing this, Mountain Eagle reached out his hand and shook hands with Killer Bee, saying, "Deal!"

After saying that, Shanying waved to everyone and shouted, "Get on the plane, let's go!"

...............

When the Black Hawk took off, a huge cruise ship carrying nearly 3500 tourists was sailing on the sea in the high seas south of Phuket.

It was already midnight, and only a few people were partying all night.

Because the cruise ship was about to enter Thailand's maritime jurisdiction, the gambling areas were closed.

Except for a few drunken island guests lingering in the swimming pool area, other areas gradually became quiet.

While the cruise ship was sailing, several ships released more than a dozen rubber boats a few nautical miles away from the cruise ship. Then, under the cover of darkness, these rubber boats quietly approached the cruise ship.

As the speedboat approached, the people on it sent a signal to the rear of the cruise ship, and soon a rope ladder was thrown down from the side of the ship, which was more than 20 meters high...

A pirate with dyed yellow hair saw the rope ladder falling down, grinned and shouted to his men: "Keep quiet after you go up, and start the action after all of us are up.

There are many rich people on this ship, we are sure to get rich this time!"
