Chapter 1217: Li Ji's mouth is consecrated

The sea breeze is gentle and cool. At this moment, the cargo ship that Chaoyang people are riding has entered the subtropical waters. The weather is indescribable and warm. A group of men and women sit on the deck and blow the sea breeze and bask in the sun. A few lively guys waved the sea poles and caught fish on the sea.

The freighter has entered the Malacca waters, which is also the necessary sea route from Asia to the east coast of Africa. The Strait of Malacca is about 800 kilometers long and connects the Pacific and Indian Oceans. It is the second busiest sea route in the world after the English Channel, and it is also the only way for European ships and Middle East tankers to East Asia.

British writer Isabella Bird once described Malacca in his travel notes: "In many ways, there is a medieval legacy here. The hustle and bustle of the modern world only has the weakest echo here." However, Malacca is no longer quiet now. On one side is the hustle and bustle of the city, while on the other side is the rampage and madness of pirates.

From the mid-1990s to the present, Malacca pirates went to sea to commit crimes, ransacked crew members, and shot hostages. This kind of news is common, and even committed crimes in one year has reached nearly 500 cases, which is crazy.

However, with the rise of Somali pirates in recent years, the limelight has surpassed the Malacca pirates. The Malacca pirates seem to be gradually declining. Anyway, this sea route has been much more peaceful in recent years. Of course, this has a lot to do with the naval fleets of countries around the world going to sea to armed escort.

However, no matter whether it is peaceful or not, the unpredictable guys on the Chaoyang cargo ship don't care. They are so idle that they want pirates to rob, which adds some fun to the boring sea navigation.

"Isn't it? Are you all saying that Somali pirates are very rampant now? It is said that after they purchased a new type of ship, the radius of the crime was as high as 2,000 nautical miles, and they were approaching Malacca. I really want to see their beauty." Li Ji waved his fishing rod with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't hang a fish for a long time. He said in a very annoyance.

Ma Tao next to him picked up the fishing rod and continued fishing. Li Tie turned his head to look at him, "I think you are so idle that you have nothing to do. If you have time, why not go and learn English and communicate with people there. If you have nothing to do, what do you want to fight pirates? He actually wished that his own boat would be robbed once. Is there something wrong?" As he said, he closed the rod neatly, and a half-meter-long tuna kept twisting his body on the sea pole and was thrown on the deck.

The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard someone shouting at the watchtower above, "Look, look, there seems to be something wrong with the two ships in front."

As soon as he looked up, Zhang Da jumped and shouted in front of the telescope, looking very excited. No wonder, the life of sailing on the sea is too dry and unable to do anything, so he could only count his fingers and chat. It was not just a group of brothers training together, which was really boring. Therefore, every surprising discovery on the sea made these guys make them comment in a fuss.
