In order to maintain his image in the minds of his subordinates and protect his position in the Gulf of Aden, Badr convened his subordinates immediately and held a mobilization meeting.
This group of weak soldiers under Badr was originally a little apprehensive after hearing that their boss had declared war with Ten Thousand Armies.
They also knew their own weight and capabilities, and they knew that people like them did not have even the slightest chance of winning if they were to truly fight against Ten Thousand Armies.
The other party was a long-standing top-level mercenary, whereas they were nothing more than just some pathetic pirates who had not even practiced their marksmanship very well. They could only hold and aim an AK47 blindly at a target. They really did not know how badly they would die if they were to indeed become Ten Thousand Armies' enemy.
However, Badr also had his own skills and abilities since he could hold onto the position as the leader of the pirate organization. He spoke to these pirates who were illiterate, and he spoke incessantly and impassively from evening till dark.
In order to stir up their deepest anger and rage, Badr even took the initiative to use his own projector equipment that he personally used for watching
movies to play the video uploaded by Ten Thousand Armies to all of his subordinates in a loop. He finally succeeded in igniting the anger of all of his men.
Thus, he immediately incited, "If we do not drive Ten Thousand Armies out of the Gulf of Aden, in the future, our brothers and even ourselves might meet with the same fate, then. At that time, there would be n o room for us to survive in the Gulf of Aden! Are you guys really willing to give up such a good deal as pirates and paddle a canoe out to the sea to fish instead?"
His subordinates immediately shouted out loud that they were unwilling to do so.
This was because they had already long been accustomed to a career as a pirate, which was a quickpaying and risk-free job. Therefore, they were naturally unwilling to find another way to make a living.
After all, in a place like Somalia, making money was s o much more difficult compared to going out to sea to commit robbery.
As soon as they were to revert back to life as farmers o r fishermen, they would rather hold a gun and fight to the death with the other party.
When Badr saw that he had successfully mobilized his subordinates' fighting spirit, he issued an order immediately as he said loudly, "We will prepare our boats and weapons properly tonight, and we will attack with our entire army in the morning tomorrow!
We will search the Gulf of Aden for Ito-Schulz Ocean Shipping Group's cargo ships, and no matter what it i s, we must seize one!"
His second-in-command could not help but say, "Boss, the soldiers from Ten Thousand Armies are extremely strong in individual combat. I'm afraid that it would b e difficult for us if we want to seize the cargo ship that they are escorting!”
