"Damn it! This is the second time that the freighter has been robbed. Damn, the pirates in this area have to continue to strengthen the efforts to clear the attack." Chen Yi said coldly.

"Diamond Coast" is a mining transportation company jointly established by Tengyi Group and the Seychelles government in order to develop resources on the Savage Island. So far, it has brought hundreds of millions of yuan in profits to Tengyi Group.

"There's another thing that seems to be worse..." Wei Tie said hesitantly.

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly!" Chen Yi asked anxiously.

"Ms. Alya was also on that cargo ship and was robbed by pirates together!" Wei Tie said.

"Ah?" Chen Yi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Alia is so uneasy. I have told her how good it is to stay in the company honestly. Just leave the goods to others. Her identity is too special. It is really a troublesome to fall into the hands of pirates."

"Dr. Chen, what should we do now?" Wei Tie asked hurriedly.

"It doesn't matter. We have Blue Sky 1 satellite reconnaissance and we will definitely find the location of the robbed freighter." Chen Yi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Seychelles President Frans called.

Chen Yi knew that he must have told him about Arya, so he quickly answered the phone.

"Mr. Chen, do you know everything about my daughter? I'm so anxious." Frans said anxiously.

"I understand, this girl is so uneasy." Chen Yi sighed. If you want to say that Alia is also unlucky enough. She was kidnapped on Wild Man Island last time and almost lost her life. This time she was robbed by pirates again. Why did she encounter all the unlucky things?

"The cargo on the ship is secondary. Now we have to find a way to save people. Not only my daughter, but also the ten crew members on the ship, they are all living lives!" Fransu said.

"Well, I know. Mr. President, please rest assured. I will definitely lock in the target as soon as possible and rescue the hostages as soon as possible." Chen Yi said.

"The most powerful pirates in the Western Indian Ocean are the pirate gangs entrenched in the Ivory Island area. I suspect they did this ship hijacking incident." Frans said.

"Okay, I'll check it right away and I'll notify you as soon as there is any news." Chen Yi put down the phone, immediately came to the command and control center, opened the surveillance screen in the middle of the room, and entered the reconnaissance screen of the "Blue Sky One" satellite.

Soon, he locked in the Ivory Island, which was 200 nautical miles away from Tianyi Island.

This ivory island is about two square kilometers. It is named because the shape of the entire island looks quite like an ivory. It is a homeless island. Somalia and Seychelles both claim sovereignty over the island. However, because it is too far from the coastline, no one has the ability to garrison there for a long time, so in recent years, it has become a place where pirates active in the Western Indian Ocean often gather.

Chen Yi continued to manipulate the surveillance screen, expand the picture range, and directly locked onto Ivory Island.

I saw two rows of wooden houses on Ivory Island. The outside was surrounded by barbed wire, and there were armed personnel carrying guns and ammunition at the door, which seemed to be very vigilant.

Chen Yi made a rough calculation and there were more than fifty armed personnel patrolling outside. There were also two large patrol boats and five armed speedboats parked on the dock of the island. These are probably the entire property of this group of pirates.

The high-definition reconnaissance resolution of Blue Sky One satellite is 0.2 meters, exceeding the resolution of any military satellite in the world today.

For targets in bunkers such as houses, satellites can use infrared thermal imaging principles to form simple thermal imaging images to form general situations inside. This is also a relatively advanced reconnaissance method.

After a careful search, Chen Yi found a cave behind the pirate camp on Ivory Island. The entrance was tightly guarded, and inside was the cell where the hostages were held.

Now we need to formulate a plan to rescue hostages immediately. Pirates are extremely cruel by nature, so this plan must be seamless to ensure the safety of the hostages.

At this moment, Seychelles President Frans called over: "Don Chen, it was indeed the pirates on Ivory Island who hijacked our cargo ship. The pirate leader called me just now and said that as long as you pay a ransom, the hostages can be safely released."

"How much do they want?" Chen Yi asked hurriedly.

"Fifty million US dollars!" said Frans.

"Damn, these guys have a big appetite. 50 million US dollars is more than 300 million yuan!" Chen Yi sneered.

"Yes, but the pirate leader said that they had arrested eleven hostages in total, of which Arya was the president's daughter, and one person was worth 20 million US dollars. The other ten hostages, each of which was three million US dollars, was 50 million US dollars in total." Frans said angrily.

"Haha, they understand how well they calculate!" Chen Yi sneered.

"Dr. Chen, what do you think? Should I rescue you at the sprint or pay a ransom to replace you?" Frans asked.

"Where is your opinion with Mr. President?" Chen Yi asked back.

"Oh, I think I'd better pay the ransom first and rescue him! If you attack for a strong force, you will inevitably hurt the hostages. I'm just a daughter. Once she has an accident, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Frans said.

"Well, we can try it first. If the pirates get the ransom and release them immediately, then we can take military action against Yama Island next." Chen Yi said.

"Yes, it's important to save people first." Frans said.

"One of the 50 million US dollars of ransom, our two families are half of it." Chen Yi said.

"No, our Seychelles government should pay the money. After all, those hostages that were taken are all Chinese citizens!"

"But the hijacked cargo ship is mine. Logically, I should pay a portion of the money. Mr. President, don't be polite. I'll be fine if I pay this little money." Chen Yi said.

"Okay, the Pirates said that you can get all your money so quickly after three days?" Frans asked.

"No problem, I'll contact the group's financial director right away."

Chen Yi left the phone and immediately called Song Xinyan, asking her to call Tengyi Group's account at Victoria Bank, the capital of Seychelles.

Song Xinyan transferred the money the next day after receiving the order. But at night, the situation changed a lot.

Frans called again, and said in an anxious tone: "Mr. Chen, the kidnapper has proposed new conditions!"

"What conditions?" Chen Yi asked hurriedly.

"They... they want you to bring the money to Ivory Island with you to pay the ransom!" Frans said in a trembling voice.

"These guys are too much. They clearly asked me to die." Chen Yi said coldly.

"Well, in addition to this request, they also asked you to release the pirate leader Bartoly unconditionally," Frans said.

"So, is the pirates on Ivory Island a remnant of Bartoly?" Chen Yi asked.

"Yes, the pirate leader is Tadick, and he is Bartoly's younger brother." Frans said.

"I know that boy has worked with him in the past to save people. Mr. President, the other party's appetite is too big, and we cannot be led by them. I have a grudge against that Tadik. I once killed his brother Augustine. He clearly wanted to lead me to the bait. I am not afraid of death myself, but I am worried that even if I really brought the money to Ivory Island, they would not let Alia go. Those guys are very cunning. They know that if there are no hostages on hand, they will be hit hard by you and me!" Chen Yi said seriously.

"Dr. Chen, do you mean to take the second plan to attack?" Frans asked.

"Yes, we have to formulate a detailed combat plan tonight. I don't have enough staff, and I have to rely on the armed forces of your country to help!" Chen Yi said.

"Dr. Shen, I will send my presidential guard to participate in this hostage rescue operation," Frans said.

"Okay, tonight, you send your captain of the Presidential Guard to my Tianyi Island. I will show him the reconnaissance images of Ivory Island so as to develop a foolproof rescue plan." Chen Yi said.

Frans responded and dropped the phone.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, Wei Tie reported to Chen Yi via walkie-talkie: "Dong Chen, a patrol boat of the Seychelles Coast Guard is close to Tianyi Island. It should be their presidential guard captain, right?"

"Well, please invite him to the command center immediately." Chen Yi said.

Ten minutes later, Wei Tie led a tall middle-aged man in military uniform.

"Dong Chen, this is Mr. Peterson, the captain of the Seychelles Presidential Guard!" Wei Tie said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Peterson!" Chen Yi walked over with a smile and shook hands with Peterson.

"Hello, Mr. Chen Yi!" Peterson's smile seemed a little stiff.

It turned out that just before heading to Tianyi Island, Peterson had a dispute with President Franz when he received the president's order.

Peterson felt that he was the captain of the Presidential Guard, a dignified army major, and he was going to run to Tianyi Island to formulate a hostage rescue plan. What ability does Chen Yi have to dare to point fingers at the Presidential Guard?

However, President Frans repeatedly ordered him to go to Tianyi Island, and Peterson did not dare to disobey, so he had to bite the bullet and board a patrol boat to Tianyi Island.

"Mr. Peterson, please sit down!" Chen Yilang smiled.

"Okay, thank you!" Peterson smiled faintly, possessed himself and sat down, and then said nothing.

"Mr. Peterson, please see, this is the surveillance screen of Ivory Island." Chen Yi opened the surveillance screen in the middle of the room and said to Peterson with a smile.

"Oh? Is this a satellite surveillance screen?" Peterson asked in surprise.

"Yes, the resolution can reach 0.2 meters. Basically, every grass and tree on this ivory island can be seen clearly." Chen Yi said proudly.

"Such resolution?" Peterson's face showed an incredible look.

"If you don't believe it, you can watch it!" Chen Yi brought Peterson to the surveillance screen and said with a smile.
