Petru adheres to a principle-never kidnap hostages to extort money from the government.

This guarantees the trust of those countries that secretly communicate with him.

For this principle, he never even tried to kidnap some Arabs to threaten the Egyptian government in order to release Lavier. He knew very well that not only would it not save Lavier, it would also make his reputation worse and bring more enemies.

In the process of integrating the Somali pirates, the U.S. government secretly provided a lot of help. Many large companies and rich people who trade between Europe and Asia are also willing to pay for peace, so Petru's career seems to be smooth sailing.

He has helped many countries rescue hostages, hoping to rescue Lavie through some twists and turns. Both the United States and France have pressured Egypt to demand the Egyptian government's release of Lavier. No matter how it counts, Petru's crime has nothing to do with his woman. But the crimes he committed in Egypt were too great, and other countries could not blatantly justify a pirate, so the Egyptian government has always refused to let Lavier go.

Although they could not be rescued, many people have assured Petru, including some government officials’ brokers and influential wealthy businessmen. They promised that Lavier could live well in an Egyptian prison, just like living in a hotel.

Petru sent his confidant to Egypt to see him. Apart from loneliness, Lavier's living conditions are really good. There is the credit of the brokers, and the most important thing is that Petru has a bad reputation, and no one wants to offend him. What if this lunatic comes back in revenge?

However, the long-term looting from the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Sea has offended many people, such as India, a big country that has an aircraft carrier and has always dreamed of dominating the Indian Ocean and controlling the golden sea lane.

Petru tried to show his favor to the Indians, but Asan did not seem to have a tacit understanding with him, and when the U.S. Fifth Fleet opened one eye to Redbeard, Asan’s warship began to move. Actively **** merchant ships in the Indian Ocean, especially Arab merchant ships.

Petru tried his best to avoid a frontal confrontation with the Indian Navy, and suffered a lot of losses for this. Not only was the scope of his activities forced to be compressed, but he even lost some of his maritime brothers who trusted him.

Many other pirate leaders began to blatantly oppose Petru, threatening to replace him, saying that he is a running dog raised by the government, and the rules made are **** to help the government cannibalize and eliminate pirates, so that the poor in the Gulf of Aden will never be there. A place to turn around.

To prove himself, after patience for a while, Petru decided to announce to the world that the red beard is not easy to mess with.

He first purchased two old submarines through international arms dealers, which were laden with ammunition in the Karsberg Ridge. Then he carefully planned and personally led a group of elites who had been like him in the mercenary world and later became pirates. They sneaked into Saudi Arabia without knowing it, and hijacked an Arab merchant fleet that was about to leave the Red Sea in Jeddah Port.

The pirates pretended to be Arabs and proceeded to a certain port in Asia according to the scheduled itinerary of the fleet. The fleet deliberately approached the Indian navy's sphere of influence when it exited the Gulf of Aden, and then was attacked by a small group of pirates. After sending out a distress signal, an Indian destroyer came to the rescue and easily sunk the incoming pirate speedboat.

However, the merchant ship had already broken down due to a pirate attack, and after sailing under the **** of a warship, it began to sink. Of course, these are also designed by Petru, the purpose is to transfer his own people to the Indian warship.

The owner of this ocean-going ship is the crown prince of Saudi Arabia. The cargo and the people on the ship are very important. This is confirmed by the Indian Navy through their Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, the warship received all the crew before the sinking of the merchant ship and prepared to send them back to the Gulf of Aden and Saudi Arabia for handover.

Among the pirate elites led by Petru, many veterans of the Navy are no strangers to warships. It was not impossible to control this destroyer by force under the unsuspecting officers of the Asan Army. But just in case, they adopted a more secure method, rescued a batch of delicious food mixed with poison from the sinking merchant ship and sent it to the ship's galley.

After a harmonious and happy dinner with the military and civilians, they easily controlled the warship carrying 230 Indian officers and soldiers.

The hijacking of a warship is something that has never happened in the history of modern pirates, and Redbeard Petru became the first person.

Of course, this matter will not end like this. The Indian Navy was shocked to learn that their warship was hijacked by the pirates. On the one hand, they concealed the news from the outside and dispatched a fleet to search and rescue them.

In the huge Indian Ocean, if you want to hide a destroyer, of course it is not difficult. But in that case, Petru can only hide it as a private collection in a harbour that no one knows, and no information can be leaked out. No matter how bad the Asanmen are, they will never be in this kind of thing. Concession.

Petru knew very well that he could not have a naval army that could contend with the great powers, so he did not intend to take the destroyer as his own.

Using ships as bait, he brought the Indian navy fleet that came to the rescue to play a cat and mouse game on the vast sea between Karlsberg Ridge and the Maldives.

Of course, they cannot really escape from the Indian navy's encirclement and suppression. So, after a week of dealing with them, they were besieged on the side of the Karlsberg Ridge.

When the Indian cat thought it had caught the mouse, the two submarines lurking there attacked them, and the captive warship that had been running away also began to counterattack.

The end result was that the Indian army successfully rescued their naval officers and soldiers, but they had to blow up their hijacked ships, and three other warships were severely damaged.

Although the losses of the pirates were not small, including a submarine that sank after being hit by a torpedo, and dozens of others died in the crossfire, compared to the strength of the opposing sides, this loss is really not in the eyes of outsiders. What kind of.

Known as one of the world's maritime powers and the invincible Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy is actually unable to defeat a pirate. This kind of thing is not as simple as losing face. Therefore, the Asanmen didn't admit the existence of this incident, and even dared not retaliate against Petru in public, because then they were defeated by Petru.

And they themselves don’t believe that a pirate has the courage and ability to beat their navy like this~lightnovelpub.net~ suspect that this matter was secretly done by other countries in the name of pirates, in order to test their strength. And combat their expansion in the Indian Ocean. China, Russia, the United States and Australia have become suspects, and they even suspected that Saudi Arabia had collusion with pirates.

India's hesitation and retreat gave Petru a chance to breathe and develop.

This battle greatly encouraged the confidence of the pirates. Pirates all over the world regarded Redbeard Petru as an idol and considered him to be the contemporary king of pirates. More elites began to join his organization, and his power once extended to the Mediterranean and Malacca, and even in the Atlantic, there were people who pretended to commit crimes in his name.

Redbeard's reputation is rising, and Petru's legendary pirate career continues, and some people even suggested that he simply landed from Cape Sofong, established an armed government, and occupied the entire Somalia. If it succeeds, he will be the head of a government, and Lavie will of course become the first lady, and the Egyptian government will have no reason to lock her up.

Some political brokers from Europe and the United States also hinted that they could support his plan, and Petru was also a little tempted. If you give him a few more years and make sufficient preparations, maybe he can really build his own empire from pirates like Barbarossa the red beard back then.

Petru was ambitious until he grabbed a ship that shouldn't be grabbed.
