Egypt, Suez Canal.
The noonday sun scorched the water's surface, and on the sparkling canal, cargo ships lined up end to end, slowly moving like a long iron dragon.
This is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world. Every day, numerous merchant ships enter the Red Sea from the Mediterranean Sea through this passage, heading to Asia, the Atlantic Ocean.
At the end of the canal, a cargo ship flying the Panama flag, named "Desert Fox," was slowly advancing.
This is a medium-sized container ship, with a deadweight of 80,000 tons, carrying over two thousand standard containers, dozens of which are filled with weapons and ammunition.
This ship will first stop at Hong Kong Island in China before heading to its final destination.
In the cockpit, An Zai, with his buzz cut, curiously stared at the navigation map on the screen and asked the captain, "Are we about to enter the territory of Somali pirates? I've heard it's quite thrilling here, isn't it?"
