Speaking of Somalia, the first thing that comes to mind is pirates, in fact, Somalia is also a country.
Why do everyone call Somali pirates, the movie often plays how somali pirates how, watch more smooth mouth will come, but in Somalia pirates are indeed rampant.
The pirates of the Somali country are actually divided into two types, and the local people in Somalia also call pirates heroes.
But why are Somali pirates so rampant, they dare not hijack Chinese merchant ships, like friends like it, pay attention to it, your love is the driving force for Zedi's creation.
In fact, Somalia's sea resources are very, very rich, but why can't they, like other countries, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the sea to eat the sea?
Because Somalia is very backward, they do not have large mechanized fishing equipment.
But other countries are different, originally the Red Sea is a very small sea, but the fish species are very rich, like Japan, other countries of mechanized fishing boats, a trawling into the full load and harvest.
After such a long period of mechanized fishing, slowly there are few fish species left, they have nothing to eat, then they can only fall into the grass and become pirates.
However, it is true that since the advent of pirates, mechanized fishing boats in other countries have slowly dared not enter the Red Sea, so that their lives have been moistened.
There is also a kind of pirates who only want to make money, the Gulf of Aden in Somalia, which is the only way for the super-large transport ships of various countries, and they have ideas for these mega-transport ships.
Intercepting these transport ships in the gulf of Aden and then extorting extortion of a high ransom is a hefty income for them.
In Somalia, the income of ordinary people is very low, but the income of a pirate can even be worth the income of 200 ordinary people.
In 2008, when somali pirates were at their peak, there was a ransom of up to $80 million, and finally each pirate member received $90,000, which is why they are willing to be pirates.
At the height of piracy, there were very many pirate groups in Somalia, including one with more than 500 people and an annual income of up to fifty million dollars.
However, the members of this group are still relatively business-minded, they take the money they earn from being pirates, and they invest in real estate investment companies, and finally make a lot of money.
But why do Somali pirates have not dared to move China's transport ships, because as early as 2008, the Chinese Navy had taught pirates a lesson.
At 8:00 a.m. on December 17, 2008, the Mainland's Zhenhua No. 4 extra-large transport ship was operating normally in the waters of the Gulf of Aden.
At this time, the captain of the whole transport ship raised his telescope to look at the surrounding sea, and then found that five or six nautical miles ahead, there were two white speedboats speeding towards the mainland cargo ship.
The captain felt that things were not good with years of experience, and as the speedboat got closer and closer, the captain saw through the telescope the people on the speedboat, armed with automatic rifles and bazookas, which were undoubtedly definitely pirates.
Captain Li li raised the alarm of the whole ship, the crew began to arrange defensive facilities, and the captain also sent a distress signal to the mainland maritime department through radio.
At this time, the pirates had reached the vicinity of the merchant ship, and they kept waving their weapons in an attempt to intimidate the crew, and the crew of the ship had also made protective facilities, and dozens of crew members wore safety helmets and armed with iron rods, high-pressure water guns and other weapons.
At this time, the pirates saw that the people on the ship were indifferent, and began to be a little impatient, so they approached the merchant ship little by little and prepared to board the ship.
The captain looked at the wrong order, the crew immediately stood in the designated position, raised their weapons in their hands to prepare to meet the enemy, and the pirates looked at the crew of the mainland, and for a while they were a little blindfolded.
After hearing the gunshots, the crew began to get a little nervous, and the pirates were also ready to forcibly board the ship and began to throw iron hooks at the ship, and the crew saw that the pirates were ready to forcibly board the ship, and immediately withdrew to the cockpit and closed all the hatches.
At this time, the pirates also boarded the deck of Zhenhua Iv, but the distance from the deck to the cockpit was 6 meters high, and the crew withdrew at the same time, and the stairs leading to the cockpit were removed, and the pirates could not climb the cockpit.
At this time, the pirates were ashamed and angry, so they picked up their pistols and began to strafe at the cockpit, because the distance was too high to scare the crew, so the two sides confronted each other.
The pirates saw that they could not attack for a long time, so they began to shout at the cockpit to express their willingness to stop the battle, and just when the crew let down their guard, the pirates did not talk about martial arts, and took out their bazookas and prepared to directly bombard the cockpit.
At the critical moment, a continental helicopter gunship arrived at the scene of the incident and immediately attacked the pirates, and in a few moments two pirate ships were sunk.
The pirates saw that the situation was not good, immediately returned to the remaining ships, and fled in a hurry, and in an instant, the continental transport ships repelled the pirates, which caused a global discussion.
This incident can also be regarded as a lesson for pirates by the mainland and maritime, and in the infrastructure construction of Somalia, the mainland has also given them a lot of help, helping them build schools, hospitals, factories, bridges, roads, stadiums, and so on.
Moreover, in history, the mainland has never clashed with Somalia, and in recent years, China has helped Somalia to establish maritime patrol capabilities and trade agreements, and taught Somalis fishing skills, so that they have a stable income and no longer have the idea of becoming pirates.
The mainland has always been a good country, and no matter which country in the world has difficulties, China will come to the aid, which also reflects China's due style as a big country.
Some people have also asked Somalis why don't you rob Chinese merchant ships, and the Somalis replied that Chinese are benefactors, so the answer is very surprising to the person who asked the question.
However, now that the mainland navy has become stronger, the pirates do not dare to easily attack the mainland merchant ships, otherwise they will even be wiped out by the mainland navy.
Therefore, in order to protect themselves, they did not dare to rob Chinese merchant ships.
