Chapter 759: Patrol Ship
The news that the Horizon had been seized by the Malay police and the IAEA on the grounds that it was carrying a nuclear industry quickly spread to the country. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
When many netizens heard the news, their brains did not react for the time being.
What's the situation?
Could it be that some secret plan of the state was sabotaged by the Americans?
That's right, this kind of thing, let alone insiders, even the mastermind behind the scenes that ordinary people first think of is the United States. Because looking at the world, only this country has the ability to do such a thing in the Strait of Malacca.
The news was quickly dug up further, and netizens found out that this was not a national project. Rather, it was Behemoth Industries, a ship carrying mining engineering equipment, which was seized.
On the official website of Behemoth Industries, there is not much defense, but the final destination port of the horizontal number and the ninety-nine years of mining development documents signed with the Nicanyan government are released.
To that country in Niga, to transport products related to the nuclear industry, and to help that country in Nica to build nuclear weapons?
Netizens exploded in anger.
"I'm going to laugh off ~ big teeth, okay, I took a look at it, that ghost country, the GDP of a year is not as much as the GDP of a township in my hometown. Build nuclear weapons? I beg the Americans to tell me, how to make it?"
"Shameless Americans, this is clearly trying to take revenge on the Behemoth industry. It must have been the previous remote driving test that made them angry. ”
"Nigaya, a place where less than 5 percent of the country has electricity, can the Americans find a decent excuse for saying they want to build nuclear weapons?"
"Angry, what are we waiting for, hurry up and seize a freighter from them. ”
…………
The lord warship swept quickly over the sea level.
Four jet thrusters blow the sea water into a magnificent wall of water.
If anyone could see this, they would think they had seen a monster.
The Lord Ship still had a camouflage hull, but it had reached a speed of one hundred and fifty knots. Except for the F1 racing boats, which were built by humans to pursue extreme speed, no ship can compete with the speed of the lord ships.
But rowing is only a variant of a motorboat, and it is good for nothing but speed, let alone sailing. The lord warship, on the other hand, can carry thousands of tons of cargo and has the ability to dive into the water for intercontinental movements.
The battleship of the lord is expected to arrive at the position of the Horizontal in seven hours.
Although he decided to fight to the end, after counting it, Ye Qing's side did not have any other means of counterattack except for a lord warship.
As Bertram, president of Raytheon Technology, said, no matter how well civilian industrial technology is played, it is at best a shield and can only be passively defended. If you look at Raytheon, they can find no less than ten military response strategies.
Half an hour after the Malay Marine Police evacuated, the Horizontal put away its anchor, restarted its wheels and headed for its intended target.
The Peregrine Falcon was hovering above the Horizontal, and Ye Qing was thinking about countermeasures.
Just thinking about it, in the speaker that communicated with the cockpit, there was a sudden voice from Captain Fang Yunxin, who had a strange voice, "Boss...... I received a call request from an unmarked source on the radio, and I was still looking for you. ”
"Looking for me?" Ye Qing was also surprised, "Take it in." ”
The call was quickly connected, and Ye Qing calmly asked who the other party was in English.
"We are the IAEA's newly commissioned maritime law enforcement agency, Mr. Ye, since you have decided to move forward, then we will wait for the arrival of the Horizontal on the edge of the Gretel Strait. The voice in the speaker was calm, "Our dignity cannot be provoked, so I advise you one last time, turn around and return." ”
"Really?" Ye Qing said to the calm voice, "Let me guess, what gives you confidence?"
"If you plan to intercept the horizontal at sea, or on the high seas, it can only be a ship. On the edge of the Gretel Strait, the closest base to the US Navy, is the Fifth Fleet, which is stationed in Arabia. Are you a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, or a Burke-class destroyer, or a Perry-class frigate?"
The speaker smiled and replied in pure American English, "Neither, those you said are warships." This is only an investigation into a civilian freighter, and sending a warship would obviously escalate the situation. So we're just a patrol vessel, or a coast guard vessel, for maritime security and humanitarian relief. ”
"Of course, even a patrol ship is an unrivaled presence for any civilian vessel. ”
"Mr. Ye, we will wait quietly on the edge of the Gretel Strait. ”
"Looking forward to seeing you. Ye Qing's tone was still calm.
The call ended, but Ye Qing showed an imperceptible wry smile. Sure enough, things didn't turn out more than he expected. Rather than making emergency arrangements for the Malay Marine Police to back down, the Department of Energy has planned to place a patrol ship on the edge of the open sea.
The Fifth Fleet base is more than 3,000 kilometers from there, and even if the patrol ship had been cruising in the Arabian Sea, it would have taken nearly three days to reach the edge of the Gretel Strait.
This......
It's a near-insoluble situation.
According to Ye Qing's knowledge, it seems that the United States likes to build ships in a big way. Even a patrol ship is a large ship with ocean-going capabilities and loaded with weapons.
Courage can't stop the enemy, and knowing what you can't do is of no use except to leave a joke.
It is not possible to let the horizontal go to the muzzle of the gun, and it is not possible to avoid the route. The patrol ship, which was able to contact the Upper Falcon by radio, had already explained its whereabouts and was completely exposed to their gaze.
Two minutes later, the Peregrine Falcon, hovering above the Horizontal, soared into the sky, turned on supersonic mode, and swept over the Gritter Sound.
At a distance of 800 kilometers, the Peregrine Falcon can be reached in 20 minutes.
Gretel Strait.
It is the best shipping route for ocean-going ships to enter the African continent after passing through the Strait of Malacca. The straits after the 10th degree in the north are all international public passages. Sailing here, no ship needs to report to any country.
Of course, being on the high seas does not mean that lawlessness can be.
There is no country on the high seas, but there is a country for ships.
Upon reaching the skies over the Gretel Strait, the Peregrine swooped down to a height of 5,000 meters and visually searched along the 10th parallel.
Ye Qing wanted to see what kind of patrol ship it was.
The sea here is as clear as a wash, overlooking the past from a high altitude, within a radius of dozens of kilometers, ships are like small paper boats released from the lake. Within sight, there were about twenty or so huge ships.
Warships and freighters are easy to identify, at least at this altitude, you can distinguish the difference between container freighters, oil tankers, and bulk carriers.
Moving on, Ye Qing thought it would take a lot of twists and turns to find it. Unexpectedly, after only searching for hundreds of kilometers, a pure white ship came into Ye Qing's eyes.
It was a two-masted ship with a displacement of about three thousand five hundred tons.
When the Peregrine Falcon approached closer, you could also see the helipad at the stern, the rapid-fire gun in the bow, and the anti-air search radar above the cabin and the sea search radar.
The US, painted on the hull, means that it belongs to the United States.
