Indian Ocean, Gulf of Aden, at around 10 a.m.

Andan Fishing 0127 "Courage" ocean-going fishing ship is in tuna fishing operations.

Chu Jack checked the work line and saw that everything was normal, so he came to the telescope on the deck to observe the surrounding water and sky.

Observing the water surface is to see if there are suspicious ships.

The suspicious ship may be the infamous Sumali pirates.

Observing the sky is to see if there are seabirds gathering.

Where seabirds gather, they are often also where fish are active.

The "Courage" is the latest 60-meter-long ocean fishing ship equipped with radar to detect fish sonar and lidar to detect fish school drones, which can accurately detect the location, breed, size and even weight of fish school.

But Chu Jack still likes this more primitive way of observation. Taking this opportunity, he can rest and relax.

Hi, the walkie-talkie rang.

"Jack, something is wrong, come to the cockpit."

The caller was Chu Jack's cousin Lu Dali, who was also the captain of the Courage.

"Okay, I'll go there now."

In front of the radar screen, Lu Dali pointed at a light spot above.

"It's this ship that is moving towards us. Judging from the length and speed of the ship, it's not a pirate's speedboat."

"Didn't the Ais system respond?"

"I asked, but there was no answer. The ship is only a few dozen tons, and it is very likely that Ais is not installed."

The AIS system is an internationally used automatic ship identification system.

According to the International Maritime Organization, all passenger ships, international cargo ships with an amount of more than 300 tons, domestic cargo ships with an amount of more than 500 tons, and larger fishing boats must be equipped with an AIS system.

This ship is only a few dozen tons, so it is normal not to install it.

"Is it the pirate's mother ship? the population smuggling boat? or the fishing boat of the Sumali fishermen?"

"The population of smuggling in East Africa and North Africa basically goes to Europe. They usually enter the Mediterranean first and then go ashore there. This direction is wrong."

"The boats of Sumali fishermen are relatively small and do not have deep-sea fishing gear, so they will not go to such a far-reaching deep water area to catch fish."

Chu Jack is the owner of the ship of the Courage. He has been in the Gulf of Aden for three months and has learned a lot about the pirate activities here.

He was almost sure that this was a pirate ship.

The way the Sumali pirates hijack ships is now different from before.

They often patrol the sea with a larger mother ship. After selecting the target, they then lowered their speedboats and boarded the ship to hijack them.

"How is the situation on the escort fleet?"

"We have already reported our coordinates to Xingjiang. They are 102 nautical miles southeast. The Dela of the Ghiban fishing ship was hijacked by pirates and they are heading for rescue."

"Della? Sebastian's ship?"

The day before yesterday, when Chujake's Courage met Sebastian's Dela, Chujake and Lu Dali also came to the Dela and drank with Captain Sebastian.

"It should be him."

"I hope I can be rescued, otherwise I might be entrusted by the pirates to redeem it."

"Martin said last time that he was coming these days, could it be him?"

Lu Dali guessed.

After graduating from Ocean University, Chu Jack went to work at his family company and prepared to inherit the family business in the future.

His family is made of boiled magnesium ore, and the products are very popular, costing more than 700 yuan per ton, and it is money to dig out of the hole.

This mine was left to Chu Jack's mother Chu Li and Chu Jack. His father Lu Zhihe was the son-in-law of the Chu family and now runs the mine.

The mother Chu Li died of illness two years ago. Last year, her father Lu Zhihe was confused with the woman and arranged to remarry her.

Chu Jack left the company in anger.

Chu Jack wanted to stay away from his father and go to Conia, Africa to grow coffee by himself. So he contacted his college classmate, friend, black brother, and international student Martin.

Martin is from Sumali, and Sumali is a neighbor of Konia. He firmly invited Chujak to Sumali to develop. He said that their sea areas are rich in tuna, sharks and lobster resources, and fishing here will make a fortune.

Sumari is bordered by the Indian Ocean in the east, the Gulf of Aden in the north, and the Strait of Mande, and is the only way for cargo ships from various countries to enter and exit the Suez Canal.

There are abundant fishery resources here, and there are indeed many foreign fishing boats catching fish here.

However, the civil war in Sumali continued, with warlords and tribal emperors separating the country, and the government could only control part of the capital area, and the entire social system had collapsed.

Many people in coastal areas take pirates as their business, and passers-by freighters and fishing boats are often hijacked by pirates and ransoms.

Going to such a place to fish is undoubtedly a tragic death.

But Martin said that his father Kanda was the local emperor here and was one of the financial backers of several pirate gangs in Sumali. The northern coast and sea area are his father's territory.

As long as his father speaks and Chu Jack symbolically pays some money, the pirates will not hijack Chu Jack's fishing boat.

When he was studying at Ocean University, Chu Jack took the seaman certificate. He and Martin were both friends, so they went to bars and traveled, and they all spent money on Chu Jack.

It just so happened that his cousin Lu Dali passed the captain's examination at this time and could be a captain.

So Chu Jack used the money left to him by his mother and spent 80 million to buy the Courage, and started his ocean-going fishing journey.

At the beginning, Chujak used a saury net to catch saury in the North Pacific fishing grounds because there were disputes over the catch quota in various countries and regions and insufficient production.

Martin vowed to ensure that the place was safe, and Chu Jack was eager to prove that he could start a business even if he left his home, so he decided to go to the Sumali waters to catch tuna, lobster and other fish species.

Martin and his father Kanda did not break their promise. Chu Jack gave them $2,000 a month to fish here.

This money is simply not worth mentioning for a modern large fishing boat like the Warriors, and it is less profitable for a day.

For more than three months, I have been safe and sound.

“Whether it’s Martin or not, be prepared first.

"When the distance is 20 nautical miles, close the net, prepare high-pressure water guns and molten bottles, axes, fish knives, gasoline, and acetylene bottles, and act according to the plan."

"Okay, then let them on the boat first, then close the door and beat the dog."

At this moment, the maritime satellite phone rang.

Chu Jack opened the video and saw Martin's black big pancake face.

"Hey, Jack, don't be nervous, it's me, I'll come to you for a drink."

"Report your place."

Martin reported the coordinates, and Lu Dali checked them and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, it's Martin, not another pirate."

"This second guy doesn't come early or late. But he comes at this time, and he's a false alarm. Keep working."

More than half an hour later, Martin took eight people to the Warriors.

These eight black brothers, one with a bazooka, and the others with automatic rifles.

"Martin, why are you still bringing guys with me?"

"Hehe, Jack, you can't take it. Your high-pressure water gun, molten bottle and other things are also very powerful."

Chu Jack was stunned.

"Martin, what do you mean?"

"Hehe, don't you understand yet, it means robbing your ship."

Martin waved his hand and a black guy raised his gun and pointed it at Chu Jack.
