Chapter 528: Encountering a Peer

Only Wei Hang knew that under this wreck, there was still a lot of timber, all of which were brought back from overseas, and there was a lot of this kind of timber. In addition, the most is silver. He believed that when the silver in the cabin was revealed, it would definitely cause a sensation and even alarm the country.

Next, it's boring to clean up the mud. The most annoying thing about shipwrecks is the silt. Luckily, it's not close to land. Otherwise, the silt doesn't know how thick it is.

At night, Weihang has one more very important thing. Tim called him several times with an update. For the oil of those Japanese oil tankers, Tim was very important.

Not long ago, he disposed of the batch of goods from Malaysia that Weihang gave him before, and made a lot of money.

In order to improve his own strength, Tim also spent a lot of money to update his organization with various high-tech instruments. If it weren't for the fear that Wei Hang would be unhappy, he would even want to buy some high-tech from Wei Hang to arm himself.

He did not have the slightest doubt about Weihang's high-tech products. Even the United States has been played around, almost the most advanced technology in the world, what else is there to question?

However, that is the technology of people to eat, and it is usually not sold to the public. Rash mention can even affect their communication. As a result, Tim has never dared to confront any high-tech issues in front of the Guardian Plane.

"Old friend, according to the information I got. Several Japanese tankers passed through the Strait of Malacca. Tim began.

"Thank you, old man, for the reminder, I think my people are ready. Wei Hang laughed.

The Strait of Malacca is a strait located between the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, which is a well-known strait in Asia.

It is known as Japan's "lifeline at sea". It is currently under the joint jurisdiction of Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.

As far as Weihang knows, it is the choke point connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, with a navigation history of more than 2,000 years. It is an important sea passage between Asian, African, Australian, and European coastal countries, and many developed countries import oil and strategic materials from foreign countries through here.

If you pass by during the day, you can see tropical jungle dotted along both banks. Evergreen trees up to 60 meters tall can be seen everywhere. All kinds of vine climbing plants, like a net of heaven and earth, are entwined between giant trees. Both sides of the strait are also important producers of tropical rubber, tin and oil. Penang Island at the northwest end has beautiful scenery and is known as the "Pearl of the Orient".

When Weihang visited the third watch in the middle of the night, he was naturally not in the mood to appreciate any natural scenery. He chased all the way through, and recently, it seems that he is struggling with Japan.

Scanning the strait with his divine sense, Wei Hang could "see" many ships in transit. It can be seen that there is a busy scene here.

In fact. China has a deep relationship with this strait, and Chinese have carved out such a route since a long time ago. Or perhaps, the first ship in the world to pass through this strait came from China.

At the beginning of the fifteenth century, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Zheng He led a huge fleet through the Strait of Malacca, breaking through thousands of blue waves. Sailing across the vast Indian Ocean left the Chinese footprints in West Asia and East Africa.

Even to this day. The Straits of Malacca still houses the largest Chinese cemeteries outside of China, some of which date back to Zheng He's voyage to the West.

It may seem like a calm sea, but it is also full of dangers.

First, the bottom of the Strait of Malacca is flat, mostly silty and sandy, and the current is gentle. It is easy to accumulate sediment, so there are a lot of shoals and sandbars underwater. Huge cruise ship grounding accidents happen from time to time. It has been predicted that the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra may be connected in a thousand years due to the rapid silting of sediment on both sides. The Strait of Malacca will disappear.

Secondly, because of the large number of ships passing by, this strait is also a key area for pirates. Every year, piracy accounts for one-third of the world's total.

On a giant Japanese oil tanker, Shunji Iwai is preoccupied. He was the general person in charge of this reserve oil shipment. He is very concerned about the news in the oil circle, and it is naturally impossible not to pay attention to the recent media darling - the oil thief!

He was in awe of such a gang. While admiring, there is more fear.

Even the United States can't escape the nightmare, so if they set their sights on his oil, he doesn't think he has the ability to escape. Therefore, in the past two days, he has frequently sent requests for help to the country, hoping that the domestic forces can escort the whole process, especially in the waters of Southeast Asia, which is too dangerous.

"How is it? How will the domestic maritime forces respond?" Iwai Shunji asked.

His subordinates shook their heads slightly: "The group of people in the country said that the oil thieves will not attack us, let us rest assured." ”

Iwai Shunji is about to scold, how can it be impossible? People may not treat Japan as a dish at all. In particular, if you are still financially supporting the United States in fighting oil thieves, he does not believe that those people will not have a little "return gift!".

"Now, let's hope they didn't notice us. The pigs in China. Shunji Iwai still couldn't help but scold.

If you are good and decent, and no one has provoked you, why are you asking for trouble? Knowing that it is a taboo in the oil circle, you still want to touch it, aren't you looking for death?

Well, you're not worried, you're just worried about the oil that they're out there. If something goes wrong, be responsible. What if, now we can only say what if, once these tankers are stolen. There was absolutely nothing good for him to end with.

It is precisely because of this that he frequently makes demands and needs the power of the state to escort him.

In this way, even if something really happens at that time, he has a reason to relieve himself, at least the end will not be too miserable, such as seppuku and the like.

"Let's cheer up, this area is a pirate-infested sea, and you must be vigilant. He said solemnly to his subordinates.

The men immediately took the order, and everyone on board did not dare to relax, because the recent oil theft incident could scare them a lot. Oilmen around the world are starting to get nervous, right?

In addition, they deliberately avoided the passage on the Malaysian side, because this country has not been offending people for a long time, it is an unlucky country, and they don't want to get a little bad luck.

And at this time, Weihang was already eyeing them. However, Weihang did not do it immediately. Originally, he was going to wait until he passed through this strait before attacking.

It's just that he suddenly discovers that besides him, there are other pirates who have taken a fancy to this shipment and met their peers......?
