Chapter 390: Rampant Pirates
Only once a year to go to sea, Lin Wen will not let go of this opportunity, to return full before willing to let go, along the way, Lin Wen from time to time to Ding Chong to provide latitude and longitude locations, Ding Chong is like going to the sea to pick up things, without the slightest pressure, now he has become accustomed to this salvage mode.
The number of crew members was enriched, and now there are more than forty people on board. Ding Chong said that the Western Front has always been unsafe, and the crew has to take on the task of guarding and fighting in addition to salvage operations, so more than 10 people have been added. But such a big boat, more than 40 people scattered, not at all seem to be much, even a little little, fortunately, these crew members are all one in a hundred cadres, not only high personal quality, but also very strong combat effectiveness, and even many people have participated in overseas peacekeeping missions, real swords and guns, are some iron-clad men, the whole ship is maneuvered, more than enough, the remaining dozen people, can take turns to undertake police tasks, their burden is also a lot lighter.
The crew worked hard, and they knew that this young Mr. Lin was not only benevolent, but also very generous, giving them a high salary every month and rewarding them when they went to sea. Only once a year to go out to the sea, do a job, don't work hard, not only sorry for Mr. Lin, but also slapped Ding Chong in the face, they were all selected by Ding Chong after layers of selection, I am afraid that there is no such good treatment and such an easy job in the world. Besides, there are many things fished out, and there are many rewards, and it is strange not to play with your life if you work for a month, enough to eat for three years.
Lin Wen felt very relieved to see that all the crew members were of very high quality, not only worked hard, but also had an orderly operation process and a very smooth cooperation. It took a lot of effort to invite Ding Chong out, and he also cured his child's illness and arranged a job for his wife, which proved that all that he did was too worthwhile.
Ding Chong already looked a little tired, worked for twenty-six days in a row, fished up the things of seven sunken ships, and cleaned up a boat in an average of three days, although it was basically destructive salvage, not the hull, but this kind of high-intensity operation was very amazing, that is, these iron-clad men could complete it.
In the cabin of the "Canglong", a small half of space has been installed, but the weight is not large, because most of it is porcelain and other things, but it takes up more space. The "Canglong" can carry more than 300,000 tons, and there is no problem at all for such a weight.
When Ding Chong was sailing on the ship, he asked the crew to take turns to rest.
There are too many treasures on the bottom of the sea, there are many scattered things on the bottom of the sea, which cannot be salvaged at all, and there are many mussels in their bodies, hiding attractive pearls, some pearls have reached a rare level in the world, and there are all kinds of precious underwater creatures, corals, etc., so that Lin Wen is dizzy.
Passing ships sounded their whistles in a friendly manner, and some crew members stood on the deck curiously looking at the behemoth of the "Canglong". Because of the proximity to Somali waters, Ding Chong patrolled the entire ship, reminding his brothers to strengthen their vigilance, and at the same time doubling the deployment of vigilance forces.
Lin Wenlai didn't want to stay here longer, but there were two shipwrecks not far away, and the things in the boats were too tempting. An iron warship with a large amount of gold and antiques, at least three or four hundred tons of gold. There is also a large ancient ship, the porcelain in the ship is all European shapes, and the porcelain of this ship is fished out, and all the money earned is foreigners' money.
There are many shipwrecks nearby, but the value is not too great, only the things in these two ships really make Lin Wen salivate, he thought about it again and again, or went to Ding Chong to discuss.
"Brother Ding, if you stay here for six days, is there any problem?"
"Mr. Lin, this sea area is very chaotic, there is no national force to maintain order here, many armed forces rely on robbery to make a living, the most famous is the Somali pirates, they are not just a group of people, arrogant, all of them are extremely vicious, not only kidnapping cargo ships to ask for money, but also attacking ships, killing people and goods. ”
"It seemed to be calm when I came. ”
"Hehe, they don't operate on the sea every day, and they often rely on intelligence information to rob passing ships with valuable cargo. ”
"Brother Ding, if we encounter these pirates, do we have any problems protecting ourselves?"
"Mr. Lin, the Canglong has more than a billion dollar weapons, not to mention a few groups of pirates, this group of little thieves met us, and he was counted as three generations of mold, and I promised that they would never come back. I'm not blowing, with our equipment, or two or three warships, I can also kill it, otherwise I'm sorry for these advanced things!"
"Hahaha, Brother Ding, so confident?"
"What bullshit pirates, is a group of ghosts, clowns, our country's warships often carry out escort missions in this sea area, they began to come out to provoke, and our warships killed two groups, and now they see our warships, they are scared like rats see cats. Even when they saw the freighter flying our national flag, they didn't dare to do it easily, so they would be beaten lightly!"
"Brother Ding, I've checked, there is a ship full of gold and antiques, and an ancient shipwreck, which is filled with European porcelain, can it be salvaged?"
"Mr. Lin, what are you waiting for? You can rest assured, tell me the location, I will arrange people to be vigilant, and the dozen or so people who have been recruited are not for them to eat!"
"Brother Ding, but once we start salvage operations, if someone comes to attack, our ship is equivalent to a target, can it be done?"
"Hehe, Mr. Lin, don't worry, if you are not sure at all, but you will take the money you gave me for nothing!"
"Okay, Brother Ding, then let's get the things in those two boats, and you can arrange more manpower to be on guard. Say hello to your brothers, and you will be rewarded when you go back!"
"What awards are not awarded, don't spoil this group of boys, this is what they should do. ”
"Okay, Brother Ding, those who dare to come to fight our ideas, kill them all, leave no one behind, let them have no return!"
"That's what I mean, this is the high seas, and whoever dares to provoke will be bigger than anyone's fist!"
After Lin Wen told Ding Chong about the latitude and longitude, Ding Chong began to search on the map, which was not far from here, but it was indeed a sea area frequented by pirates.
Ding Chong very decisively began to adjust the distribution of personnel and forces, and everyone also knew that this sea area was different from other places, and the vigilance had increased. Missiles, torpedoes, and artillery installations are all in a state of combat readiness, helicopter gunships are equipped with all weapons, brothers are armed with weapons, and those in charge of guarding are fully armed.
The wolf head found the sniper rifle and a bag of ammunition that Lin Wen had used, and he himself carried a sniper rifle.
Lin Wen looked at the appearance of the brothers on the ship, how does this look like they are here to salvage? It is more like they are here to fight! He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: No way, if you don't arm yourself, such a big boat is no different from a fat sheep, a few pirates can drive this boat away with a few broken submachine guns, and the people on board will also become meat on the chopping board, to be slaughtered!
The salvage of the first ship went well, only a few passing ships, and the alleged pirates were not seen. Three days later, tens of thousands of pieces of European porcelain of various styles were fished out and put in the cabin of the Canglong, and Lin Wen also let out a long breath.
It was a sunny day, and the brothers of the Soryu were busy salvaging gold from the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, and while everyone was busy and excited, the alarm sounded in the command room, and this alarm sounded that someone was coming.
Lin Wen looked at the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea, less than one-sixth of the gold was salvaged, and there were still a large number of antiques that had not been recovered.
All the crew members stopped their operations and put on the weapons they had prepared, the two assault boats were ready, and the helicopters were ready to take off at any time.
In less than ten minutes, three speedboats came speeding from the left side of the Canglong, and the people on the boat were all shaking their submachine guns in their hands, and from time to time some people fired a few shots into the sky, and some people actually fired a few shots at the "Canglong", and the bullets flew overhead with a whistling sound, and the arrogance was extremely arrogant!
This is the legendary rampant Somali pirate, who had only heard about it before, but now I finally saw the real pirate!
