Chapter 540: Chase on the High Seas

Ye Beichen's tribulation began.

After all the "truth was revealed", Thea told him apologetically: although she did think that he was a man worth dating, she was willing to start a relationship with him at least first. But in fact, she hasn't really felt "love" for him yet, after all, the time is too short, and she has been too insecure and guarded all along.

In addition, she is about to face a life of captivity, and she doesn't know how long it will take, so she asks Ye Beichen to forget her.

Ye Beichen didn't have too much emotion, but continued to work seriously under the supervision of Guan Li, waiting for the leader and the new director to come over.

Every phone call due to work needs is communicated face-to-face at the request of Guan Li.

When the work was done, his external contact was cut off.

Ye Beichen was very cooperative.

Jian Yushu didn't know what he really thought now. After this incident, Ye Beichen is now silent. Never open your mouth unless necessary. In addition to doing what needs to be done, the rest of the time goes back to sleep.

He didn't see Xiya either, but Xiya felt ashamed of Ye Beichen, and proposed to Jian Yushu that he wanted to see Ye Beichen again.

After being rejected, Thea could only live under house arrest in advance.

There is no contact with the outside world, and I can't see anyone other than the team members brought by Jian Yushu and Guan Li.

And Jian Yushu was much more calm than Ye Beichen and Xiya at this time.

After listening to Gu Song's words, he was now extremely looking forward to the fact that the team sent by Zhao Hongtao could arrive at Suishi Island earlier. It just so happens that the oak is here, and it can arrange all the people.

……

On the high seas of the Solomons, a fully loaded cargo ship is heading in the direction of Flintstone Island.

Zhao Ye is one of the backbones of the security team recruited by Zhao Hongtao along with Zhao Ya. He is in charge of the people and equipment that went to Flint Island.

It was safe to come out of Yuezhou Port all the way here.

Except for some people who don't adapt to the big waves, everything else is fine.

Now, according to the captain, there is one more day to reach the port of Flintstone Island.

He didn't dare to take it lightly, because the boss used a satellite phone to tell him to stay vigilant until he arrived at Flintstone Island.

Zhao Ye stood next to the captain, paying close attention to see if there would be any accidents. And his satellite phone is always with him.

At this moment, a nervous voice suddenly sounded in the cockpit: "Captain, I found a ship approaching from the right front, and the speed was ...... 16 knots! 11 nautical miles. ”

Zhao Ye tightened his fists and looked at the captain.

"Our boat, with a maximum speed of 25 knots, is fine. The captain whispered to Zhao Ye, and then asked, "How is the other party's route?"

There's a reason why the first mate's voice is nervous: "At the current speed of both sides, it will approach our route in 17 minutes." ”

The captain thought for a moment, raised his head and said, "VHF, channel 16 call." ”

Channel 16 is the international VHF (VHF) safety listening channel, through which strange ships can establish contact.

Put on the microphone and put it closer, and said loudly: "Unknown ship, the Chinese large ocean-going merchant ship Yuantao is calling." We have noticed that your route will pass through our bow in 17 minutes, and your vessel will endanger the safety of our navigation. Warning: Please adjust the route. If you heard, please answer and let us know who you are. ”

There was no answer on the announcer.

Zhao Ye looked at the captain, only to see that he continued to call again.

"Has there been any change in the other party's course?" the captain asked the first mate.

The first mate looked at the radar on the freighter and shook his head solemnly.

The captain called again: "Unknown ship, the large Chinese ocean-going merchant ship Yuantao is calling." Warning: Adjust the course and do not pass through the bow of our ship. Repeat: do not pass through the bow of our ship. We are a large ocean-going merchant ship, so we recommend that you pass through our stern. Again, it is recommended that you pass through the stern of our ship. Do you hear, please answer!"

Still no response.

The first mate said: "We are cruising at the speed now, do you want to mention the maximum speed to avoid collision?"

The captain frowned and walked over to look at the closer and closer points of light on the radar.

"Maximum speed!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The Yuantao has increased its maximum speed from cruising speed, and now it is speeding up with rapid fuel consumption, which is not cost-effective.

"Captain!" exclaimed the first mate, "the other party has also increased his speed, and now the speed is 20 knot......s! Adjusted course, it will still intercept us!"

Zhao Ye's face changed, he took out the satellite phone, and at the same time said to his partner next to him: "Emergency, get ready!"

The captain called again: "Unknown ship, the Chinese large ocean-going merchant ship Yuantao is calling." We have called many times, but you will not answer. This is considered an extremely unfriendly move. We have increased the speed, why did you increase the speed as well? ”

"Captain, 7 minutes. ”

After listening to the first mate, Zhao Ye asked the captain, "What might happen?"

The captain shook his head: "I don't know the identity of the other party, it may be a pirate." It is very abnormal to not respond to calls all the time. ”

"Is there a way to avoid it?"

Captain: "Try it, I don't know what the maximum speed of their ship is." Old Kim, left rudder 20, keep calling!"

The atmosphere in the cockpit became tense, the first mate continued to call, and the Yuantao was already sailing to the left front, delaying the time first.

"Has their speed changed?"

"No, verse 20. ”

The captain was a little surprised: "Hurry up and calculate, is it possible to get rid of it." ”

The new route was quickly calculated.

"If their maximum speed is only 20 knots, then they can go around it. Closest contact distance...... 379 meters!"

The captain frowned: "379 meters...... If they have a speedboat, it's troublesome......"

Zhao Ye said calmly: "The speedboat is handed over to us to deal with." ”

"Okay! Lao Jin, follow the new route!"

Fast forward 5 minutes, and the ship finally came into view.

The captain looked through the binoculars and said strangely, "It's a warship......"

Zhao Ye hurriedly asked, "Is there a logo?"

The captain nodded: "No wonder the maximum speed is only 20 knots...... An old patrol boat, which should be...... Why don't you answer the call? ”

He was puzzled when a voice came from the loudspeaker: "Yuantao, this is a PNG Navy patrol ship! Our ship suspects that your ship is carrying prohibited items, warning: Please slow down and accept boarding inspection! Repeat warning: Please slow down and accept boarding inspection." ”

Zhao Ye hurriedly said: "Can't stop!"

The captain was also entrusted by the defense boss and knew the importance of this mission. He said worriedly: "The problem now is that although their ship is rotten and the firepower is weak, if it is approaching, there is still a chance to cause damage to us!"

Zhao Ye looked at the patrol boat that was still approaching because of the direction of the incoming ship, although the speed was slower, and said categorically: "Let's continue to keep my distance with all our might." ”

Then, he immediately used a satellite phone to contact Zhao Hongtao.

"Boss, we have arrived in the Solomon Sea, and there is a PNG Navy patrol boat, which is coming over to board the ship for inspection!"
