Chapter 506: The Pirates Are Coming

After greeting the captain, the four men left the wheelhouse, carried four more light M72 rocket launchers at the door, and went down the stairs to the bottom of the ship. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jack said that some cargo ships over 50,000 tons even have elevators inside, but the "Big Shark" does not have such extravagant equipment and can only climb up the stairs.

When the door was opened to the main deck, Li Panfeng and Zack were on the port side, and Karimi and Liu Wendong were on the starboard side.

Li Panfeng had already chosen a place after the meal, two chairs with backrests were placed there, and a piece of canvas was on the guardrail of the ship.

The machine gun was put to the side, and Li Panfeng sat on the chair and began to look at the sea view comfortably.

On the starboard side is the same arrangement, the boat side is tied with canvas because it is not a land or military dinghy, and there is no way to mount the machine gun, and if necessary, the machine gun will be put on the head to shoot.

A layer of canvas is better than resting on a slick side of a ship.

The stars are shining tonight, and a few nautical miles away is one of the islands in the Natuna Islands, but there are no lights in sight, probably there are no people living on that island, or the Indonesian monkeys above are still playing in a primitive society.

The channel ahead will be narrower and cargo ships will slow down.

From 13 to 12 sections, Li Panfeng and Zach couldn't feel it, but they felt that the sea breeze was quite comfortable.

After nightfall, the temperature dropped a little, and the cargo ship did not run fast, which was converted to more than 22 kilometers per hour, and there was no strong wind.

"Lee, what do you think pirates look like?" Zach sat dumbfounded, a little bored, "When the police meet too many robbers, this pirate is really a rare animal." ”

Zach is a police officer, and his thinking is a little different from that of the guys who came out of the army.

Li Panfeng smiled and said, "One-eyed dragon, wear a black eye patch." ”

"Hehe, I've watched too many movies. ”

"I said Zach, I used to be in the Army, not the Navy. Besides, where can I go to find pirates along the coast of China, and I can't meet the navy, and I have suppressed bandits several times. ”

As soon as he heard this, the black buddy was surprised, and asked curiously: "I have read some books about the military history of China, and the bandits in China should have been exterminated in the fifties and sixties, right?"

This is interesting, Li Panfeng said: "You still know this, written by Wanwan?"

Zach shook his head, "There are such books that specialize in translation, the same as your publishing house, because it should be an overseas edition."

We have a great Huaxia boss, it's always good to know more about Huaxia. Actually, it's not just me, many of the guys are reading and writing books about China.

Besides, Lee, you don't just watch "American Geographic" when you have nothing to do, the same reason, it doesn't hurt. ”

Hearing this, Li Panfeng smiled and didn't speak.

"Man, you haven't said anything about bandits. ”

Zach was very curious, he had read a book about the history of bandits in China, saying that bandits were rampant in the Xiangxi area in the past, and many bandits were bandit families for generations, and the history of the family as bandits far exceeded the national history of the United States.

The book also mentions that the last bandit on the Huaxia continent was killed in 1965, and Li Panfeng was seven or eight years old at that time, right?

At the end of ten, how can you suppress bandits?

Li Panfeng said with a smile: "You are talking about the professional bandits left over from before the liberation of China, and we are suppressing the semi-professional bandits later."

Let me tell you something, there is also a post office in the United States, and in China, more than ten years ago, the post office personnel along the Sichuan-Tibet line were equipped with guns, just to prevent bandits.

Usually it's ordinary people, but sometimes they become bandits, which is very complicated. ”

Zach, who was born as a police officer in the United States, immediately understood why it was complicated, and there was also "a credit" from the US government here!

At this point, Li Panfeng felt that there was no need to go deeper into this topic, the background was different, and it was easy to have problems if he talked too much, so he said: "It's fun to talk to you." ”

"What?"

"More than ten years ago, there were still old aristocrats in Huaxia, do you believe it or not?"

"Unlikely! You're a ...... of the Red Regime"

Li Panfeng pursed his lips and said, "It's not the British kind, or it's the old aristocracy at home."

The first time I went into Tibet with the squad leader, I went shopping in Nikko City, and I saw a woman in a costume going out, and the red coral hanging from her clothes was the size of an egg!

These were all maids with umbrellas, followed by several servants, and they all made me stunned......

I asked the squad leader what the situation was, and the squad leader said that this was the aristocratic lady going out, and the family was probably still doing the same thing as before.

He also said that it was lucky that I could see this scene the first time I entered Tibet, and that it was only the third time that he had been a soldier for several years, and those people rarely went out......"

"Is there anything else now?"

"I guess it's gone, I don't know ......"

The two chatted, from anecdotes from China to racial discrimination in the United States, casinos on Indian reservations, and even legal-brothels in the Nevada desert.

"I said Zach, I haven't encountered any racism since I came to the United States, there are really so many bastards?"

Zach is a black buddy, and there's no pressure to talk to him about it.

"I said Li, the boss lives in the affluent area of Long Island, and when he goes out, he either has a private jet or a bulletproof car, plus we guys who look like bodyguards, where do we encounter racial discrimination in New York?

You're going to go to some of the small towns in the south and west by yourself, and you're going to the bars a lot, and you're guaranteed to meet both ends in three days.

Especially when you go to one of the bikers' favorite bars, you're guaranteed to run into a bunch of them. ”

Racists also have to look at others, too rich generally can't meet, super rich plus in and out of a large gang of fierce bodyguards escort, this racist does not dare to jump out.

"Racial discrimination is very common in the United States, but those bastards are not stupid, and they still play discrimination against a few of you and Boss Guan, and it is estimated that those bastards are not IQ enough. ”

Li Panfeng felt that it made sense, just like those bastards in Huaxia and the car bandits and road rage who had just appeared, they were not as honest as a group of grandsons when they met their gangs!

The last time I transported porcelain from Hunan Province and Jiangxi Province to Yan County, I passed through the border area of Jiangxi Province and Jiangnan Province at night, and I encountered a road blocker who blocked the way with a large tree trunk.

The guys didn't bother to talk nonsense, and shot out, caught three live ones by the way, plus a violent beating.

The look of those road tyrants begging for mercy will still be remembered, more than grandsons, the most classic is "stop the wrong object, if you know that it is the boss's car, you don't dare to stop it" Yunyun.

No way, from the late 80s to the mid-90s in China, there were really a lot of road rage bandits, especially in some remote areas.

The two chatted casually, and at about 12 o'clock in the evening, Captain Jack asked the guest chef to bring a supper: beef rice bowl.

Just as I was about to eat, Captain Jack's voice came from the intercom: "Call the security team, call the security team!"

Li Panfeng pressed the call button, "The security team has received it, it's over." ”

"At seven o'clock, a ship of about 150 tons was approaching us, at a speed of about 15 knots, and the course was judged to be intersecting with our ship. ”

"The security team understands, it's over!"

The speed difference of three knots, that is, if the ship had not changed course, it would have been on its side in twenty minutes.

The two looked at each other: there are pirates!

Li Panfeng was not in a hurry, and pressed the call button again: "Karimi, Zach and I will go to the stern of the boat first." ”

Karimi's voice came from the call: "Roger." Got rid of it, or?"

"You can't stop the boat and catch the live port, and drive it away. ”

Pirates are poor ghosts, as long as the other party is interested, they can't kill them all.

The boss said that if you don't leave it, it will be a pirate attack or dare to resist, otherwise the ship will be wasted oil.

Carrying the machine gun and equipment on his back, he went to the stern of the ship and took out his binoculars to observe the sea at 7 o'clock.

The stars were shining brightly tonight, and I could see the boat in the distant sea.

There were more than two ships at sea, and there were three more ships that could be seen near starboard, but those ships were on the right side and were at least five or six nautical miles away.

What's more: those ships are several laps larger than the "Big Shark", and they can't be pirate ships, just cross the routes.

After observing for two minutes, Li Panfeng pressed the call button again: "Karimi, Wen Dong, if you are okay for the time being, go and move the big guy over." ”

Among the four people, Li Panfeng was the head, and as soon as he heard this call, Karimi immediately replied: "We're fine, the nearest ship on the starboard side is 10 kilometers away, and it is a big guy of more than 50,000 tons." ”

In order to keep the information flowing, the two were speaking in English, which made Captain Jamie in the wheelhouse not know what to say.

"Big guy" refers to the M2HB large-caliber machine guns, all equipped with anti-aircraft tripods.

It's not about anti-piracy, it's about putting an end to piracy!

However, Jamie didn't say much, his temporary captain only had to drive the ship, and the core bodyguards of the four bosses had the decision-making power on this issue: the real person on the "Big Shark" was not Jamie, and the captain knew this.

In fact, Jamie misunderstood what Li Panfeng meant: he didn't kill the boat as soon as he started fighting, and brought a large-caliber machine gun just in case!

The safe distance is 500 meters, and if the opponent enters this distance, then his side will warn and shoot: the opponent changes course, that is, everyone is safe.

If the opponent dares to fight back, his ship is large, and as long as it is a rifle, even a blind monkey can hit it.

Moreover, the opponent's boat is small and flexible, and it can hit and run. Although this will not cause substantial damage to the freighter, the bullet will not be long-sighted and troublesome.

The M60 machine gun shoots at a 150-ton boat at a distance of 500 meters, even if it is at sea, it is no problem to give the opponent a covering shot, but it is difficult to say whether the opponent's hull can be beaten into a sieve.

If you change to the distance of M2,500 meters, it will be great......

The boat will definitely become a hornet's nest!

After a while, Karimi and Liu Wendong came, carrying dozens of kilograms of guns and anti-aircraft tripods, and then even Zach went to help, bringing a few large sandbags and cartridge boxes.

If you don't get a few gun mounts on the side of the ship, you can't do it, and this is not going to a naval battle, otherwise you have to worry about whether the recoil of the large-caliber machine gun will crack the guardrail.

The use of an anti-aircraft tripod is not to fight planes, the ship's side is high, and the line of fire with an M3 tripod is too low: the cargo ship is not a warship, and the "Big Shark" has a guardrail, not the common "air guardrail" on a warship.

A few sandbags are used to fix the tripod, which is high enough for the horizontal shooting accuracy to decrease, but it is estimated that it will be enough.

Fifteen minutes passed, and the small boat got closer and closer to the cargo ship.

"I said climb the peak, don't waste time, and get away. ”

Hearing Karimi's words, Li Panfeng took out his binoculars and checked the boat at a distance of seven or eight hundred meters.

"Stay closer, it's a big deal to make it enjoyable for the two of you. ”

Karimi shut up immediately.

Fight pirates, use big guys to enjoy it!

Zach here has no opinion, he is not a violent maniac, and he has no love for M2.

After waiting for seven or eight minutes, Captain Jamie's voice came from the earphones: "Call the security team, it is suspected that the pirate ship ship is 500 meters away from us." ”

Without using the commonly used terms at sea, Li Panfeng and the others don't quite understand the terms commonly used in the navy: how much is a chain?

It's cumbersome to convert.

"The security team received. ”

Li Panfeng replied.

He already had a low-light night vision device with him, a model that protects against glare almost perfectly: the machine gun fires with a lot of light so that he doesn't dazzle his eyes.

Zack spread a mat on the barrage, and Li Panfeng put the machine gun up, pulled the bolt, and fired a long point at the sea 50 meters in front of the boat nearly 500 meters away.

"Da Da Da ......"

The tracer projectile mixed with the bullet chain marks a clear red light, and the trajectory is clearly displayed, accurately hitting the target sea area.

Through the binoculars, the others could see that there was a figure on the small boat, but they were not sure if it was armed. After this burst of shooting, the people on the boat were obviously flustered!

A few seconds later, the boat turned.

"Turn to the left, these turtle-grandsons are going to run. ”

Hearing Liu Wendong's words, Li Panfeng felt a little bored, and Karimi here felt even more pity.

"Bad luck, this pirate is too unprofessional!

You said that these guys also have to put two guns to show their presence, just run, it's too shameless!"

Karimi nagged twice, and the big guys on his side were already loaded, just waiting to deal with the people on the small boat to "show their identity", so that he could justifiably open the skylight of the ship.

It's just slipping away, it's boring!

The pirates all ran away, Li Panfeng put down the machine gun, and contacted the cab again: "Bridge, I am the security team, the target has run." ”

"The bridge received that the observation post reported that the target was a 180-degree U-turn and running faster than a rabbit.

Hard, the alarm is temporarily lifted. ”

The four of Karimi heard it clearly, and hurriedly packed up the guys and went back to their posts: I haven't eaten this supper yet, and it's almost cold.

The M2 machine gun is temporarily left on the aft deck, which will make it seem that even if a suspicious ship approaches, it will usually be from the stern position, and the big guy will stay there for the time being tonight, and then move back to the cabin after dawn.

......

The suspected pirates of the Indonesian monkeys have no work ethic, which makes Li Panfeng very bored, and Zhang Nan in Baguio receives a report call from Captain Jamie using a maritime satellite phone the next day.

"There are really pirates, it's interesting......" Zhang Nan was in a good mood, because the tunnel of this base had been dug up today.
