Chapter 293: Do You Want to Be Considered a Pirate?
With the popularity of the antique porcelain market in recent years, many wealthy people who love collecting and investing have begun to turn their attention to Hailao porcelain. It is precisely because of this market that some foreign salvage ships have begun to gather in Asian waters.
Everyone knows that when it comes to the history of porcelain, which country can be compared with the East?
Since ancient times, Tohoku has been famous all over the world for its porcelain. Among them, the vast majority of porcelain sold overseas is transported by sea. In the process of transportation, many merchant ships also unfortunately sank into the sea.
The target of these foreign salvage ships is this ancient sunken merchant ship. If you're lucky, you may find a lot of antique porcelain on the shipwreck, as well as ancient precious metal currency.
Under normal circumstances, due to the different laws and regulations on wreck salvage in different countries, foreign salvage ships do not dare to enter the exclusive economic waters of other countries for salvage operations at will. Once it is discovered by the country's law enforcement vessels, the consequences are also very serious.
Of course, if you don't find it, then there is no problem!
Originally, I wanted to wait for Zhuang Haiyang and his party to salvage the goods on the sunken ship, and then send a small boat and armed crew to forcibly ask for the salvaged shipwreck items. As a result, it turned out that the other party's vigilance was so high.
The divers sent to the underwater investigation and control informed that there was a wreck that had been cleared underwater, and Tom hesitated. But thinking that this place is still far from the inland of the East, I believe that the law enforcement ship will not be able to come quickly when it gets the news.
Eventually, greed took the place of reason, and Tom finally decided to send his own dive team to salvage the wrecked ship as quickly as possible. As long as they leave before dawn and enter the open sea, they will be completely safe.
But Tom never knew that this was a bureau carefully designed by Zhuang Haiyang. This shipwreck is not all empty, in fact, there are some porcelain and antiques on board. It can only be said that the salvage value is average.
Now that he and his comrades-in-arms have completely cleaned up the shipwreck, he doesn't believe that the other party will not take the bait!
People die for money, and birds die for food! What's more, in the name of salvage ships, these people are engaged in armed hijacking.
Hiding near the wreck and fixing the camera prepared in advance, Zhuang Haiyang quickly came to the other party's salvage ship. Looking at the ship's thruster that had been turned off, Zhuang Haiyang also let out a sneer and hung the steel wire mesh directly onto the propeller.
As soon as the foreign salvage ship is restarted, it is believed that these carefully prepared things will completely lose the power of the ship. In the face of the approaching law enforcement ship, where can a foreign salvage ship that cannot be driven run to?
"Dare to yin Lao Tzu, then prepare to be pitted by Lao Tzu!"
Zhuang Haiyang, who secretly said these words in his heart, confirmed that the foreign salvage ship would be restarted, and the propeller would be completely entangled, so he left this area with confidence. Instead, focus on the dinghy that was in charge of the vigilance.
Through his spiritual power, Zhuang Haiyang could clearly see the vigilantes on the dinghy, all holding the most pirated AK assault rifles in their hands. Looking at the demeanor of these people, I also know that these people should have actual combat experience.
Although Zhuang Haiyang felt that this person might not dare to be too presumptuous in the face of the upcoming law enforcement ship. But who can guarantee that there are no outlaws among these people, and if these people really want to resist arrest, what will happen?
Thinking of this, Zhuang Haiyang finally said: "Keep an eye on them first! If they dare to mess around, I don't mind throwing them into the water." When they reach the sea, the weapons in their hands can only become burning sticks!"
With the experience of serving in the Marine Corps, Zhuang Haiyang naturally knows the power of weapons. With his current water nature, it is easy to deal with a few armed elements who have fallen into the water. He didn't want to make it too big.
The real purpose is to pit these people who are eyeing him. If nothing else, I believe that those stalkers found in the town should be killed by Zhao Penglin now. When you arrive in Haichen Town, how many outsiders can escape?
After receiving a call from Wang Yanming, Sun Xingyuan, who was the captain of the team, said: "Advance towards the target sea area at full speed, let the enforcement team members be on guard to prevent the other party from resisting arrest by force!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"Also, let the law enforcement boat, turn on our law enforcement cameras, and leave no gaps. This time, we have to get things done!"
"Understood!"
Maritime law enforcement, as well as salvage vessels involving foreign cross-border theft of sunken ships, must also be cautious. In fact, after receiving a call from Zhuang Haiyang this time, Sun Xingyuan was still a little worried.
But in the end, Zhuang Haiyang's words still made him decide to believe it once. That is, if this unhealthy wind is not stopped, those foreign salvage ships will still wantonly salvage shipwrecks belonging to the East in the exclusive economic zone near the high seas.
It is precisely because of his trust in Zhuang Haiyang, and not long after he was promoted to captain, he really needs to make some achievements. In Sun Xingyuan's view, I believe that the General Administration will be very satisfied with this case.
As Tom watched the divers finally successfully enter the wreck and salvage several pieces of ancient porcelain, he felt a little disappointed and could only say, "Is this the only one in the cabin? Are there any other cabins that have not been searched?"
"Yes! This wreck is still relatively large, and there are some deep cargo holds, and we are still searching!"
"That's good! I hope this harvest won't disappoint me too much. And, we're running out of time. ”
For safety reasons, Tom still didn't want to alarm the law enforcement patrol ships in the East. Before, they could be unscrupulous. But in recent years, Tom, like many foreign salvage ship owners, has known that the East is on the rise.
In particular, this large country in the East has begun to attach importance to maritime interests and increase investment in the construction and investment of the navy. It can be said that it is precisely because of the rapid rise of naval and maritime forces that these foreign ships do not dare to be as presumptuous as before.
As the so-called fear of something, when the two law enforcement ships quietly arrived in the sea not far from the salvage ship. The alert ship that was patrolling the periphery was shocked into a cold sweat when it saw the law enforcement ship that had only turned on the pilot light.
"Oh no! It's an Oriental patrol ship! Damn, how can they be here? Tell the boss now!"
At this moment, the armed crew members who were staying on the guard ship suddenly felt that the dinghy in which they were seated was instantly overturned by a huge force. The communicators that were already in their hands, including themselves, also fell into the sea in an instant.
"Oh my God, what the hell is going on?"
Zhuang Haiyang, who didn't want to cause any human life, saw the overturned guard boat and the armed crew members who swam back to the capsized dinghy in embarrassment, and also sneered: "I can't go there now! Wait for the obedient arrest!"
At this time, a crew member said: "Hurry! Hurry up and throw away your weapons! This is the East, they are forbidden to shoot!"
Some clever armed crew members immediately threw their weapons into the sea. Seeing this scene, Zhuang Haiyang thought about it and swam over, gathered all these weapons together, and then stored them on the bottom of the sea not far away.
When the law enforcement ship arrived and saw these armed crew members who obediently raised their hands to surrender, the law enforcement team members were also curious: "What's going on? Why did their ship capsize? Also, shouldn't they shout for help at this time? Why did they raise their hands?"
"Look at the appearance of these people, they should be in charge of guarding the sentry! It seems that we have to speed up and continue to rush over. Otherwise, it would be difficult to capture the foreign salvage ship if it really escaped into the open sea. ”
In fact, the law enforcement team's guess was correct, although Zhuang Haiyang overturned two patrol boats. But there were still small boats, and law enforcement boats were found outflanked from both sides. Upon learning of the presence of an Eastern law enforcement ship, Tom instantly became panicked.
"Damn, what the hell is going on? How can there be a law enforcement ship at this time?"
As soon as he had said this, Tom said, "Quick! Let Joseph start the boat at once, notify the underwater diving team, and get aboard at once! Hurry! As long as we enter the open sea before the law enforcement ship arrives, they will not dare to do anything to us!"
But what Tom didn't expect was that when the salvage ship started to start, the propeller, which was supposed to rotate at high speed, suddenly made a 'pop' sound. It didn't take long for their engines to start smoking and stalling.
Looking at the salvage ship that suddenly shook a few times, Tom was also extremely angry and said, "Damn! Joseph, what's going on?"
"Head, our power system is failing, like something is wrong with the propellers?"
"How is it possible? Wasn't it okay before? Why is the power system, suddenly there is a problem?"
At this time, the two law enforcement ships had already outflanked them from the left and right sides. To Tom's surprise with the law enforcement team, the armed crew of one of the two dinghys in charge of the guard actually fired wildly at the law enforcement boat.
Hearing the sound of gunshots, Sun Xingyuan was also very annoyed and said: "These people are really arrogant! In the face of our law enforcement boats, they dare to openly resist." Law enforcement camera, did you take a picture of the previous scene? Another warning!"
At this moment, the law enforcement team members suddenly saw that the armed crew members who were shooting wildly at them suddenly screamed. On closer inspection, the dinghy they were sitting in had suddenly been overturned for some reason.
Only Tom, when he heard his men shooting at the law enforcement ship, immediately became furious and said, "These stupid guys, what did they eat to grow up?
Soon, one of his subordinates said: "Maybe Cook and them just want to buy time for us!"
"It's too late! If I'm not mistaken, it's a trap, a trap that has been carefully designed for us. Quickly, immediately throw all the salvaged antiques back into the sea. Without these, we can still be saved!"
As the saying goes, 'catch the thief and get dirty', Tom knows very well that this time there is no escape. But he still hopes that this matter can be solved at a relatively small cost. is making things bigger, but I'm afraid that everything he has now will come to naught.
But Tom didn't know that not far from the sea, a camera exposed to the sea took a clear picture of their action of abandoning antiques. This is evidence and dirt, and it is so easy to destroy it!
