Chapter 596: Pray to the Arrow Wolf
Two people use high-powered binoculars to observe the sea on the right. Soon they spotted four small speedboats heading towards the Doria, which is standard for Somali pirates. There were usually five or six people on board each dinghy, and most of the weapons were old AK47s and old submachine guns, and occasionally rocket launchers.
Because of the distance, Andrea couldn't see the people on the boat clearly. But it is certain that they are pirates, no doubt. Andrea couldn't help but get nervous, and her two hands holding the telescope trembled slightly.
After hearing Serena's early warning announcement, more than a dozen crew members on the ship gathered in the cockpit and waited for the captain's defensive deployment, and the cabin suddenly became a mess. Serena was even more nervous to hug Andrea's waist from behind, and stuck her two big breasts on Andrea's back. The crew didn't have the energy to pay attention to their ambiguous appearance, and their energy was focused on the four small black dots on the surface of the sea that were approaching.
Most of the cargo ships and crews hijacked by Somali pirates negotiated and ransom payments were eventually released, and only in rare cases were crew members killed and goods resold, so no one could guarantee that they would be completely safe in the hands of the pirates.
During this period of time, due to the naval battles between the Arrow Wolf mercenaries and the United States and Britain, the number of warships of various countries participating in the escort in the Gulf of Aden has decreased significantly, and now only two frigates of China and warships of various Asian countries are still carrying out escort operations. And the fleets of the United States and most of the European countries withdrew from the region and headed for their own countries.
Because of the tight time frame for the arrival of the "Doria" cargo, Andrea did not wait at the rendezvous point to cross the Gulf of Aden with the other cargo ships, but went it alone.
This kind of solo sailing action "Doria" is often done, and pirates rarely attack 10,000-ton ships like them, and he is lucky, he has been driving in this channel for more than ten years, and has never encountered Somali pirates, and this time he is also holding the same luck.
What he didn't expect, however, was. Somali pirates have taken the Wolf mercenaries as their allies, because the Wolf Wolves mercenaries are involved in the fleets of the United States and Europe, and their robbery is even more rampant.
In the many battles between the pirates and the escort warships of various countries, they came to the conclusion that the escort warships are just decorations, and as long as there is no direct armed conflict with them, these warships are just putting on a show and driving them away, and no country and no one will hold them accountable.
Because the risks are small and the benefits are large, this leads the Somali pirates to become more and more emboldened. Prohibition does not stop.
After commanding the chief engineer to sail at full speed, Andrea asked Luca, the first mate, who was still staring at the pirate speedboat.
"What to do? Uncle Luca. ”
"They have two rocket launchers, and if they come hard, we will lose a lot. ”
As the pirate ship gets closer and clearer, the image of the pirate dancing on the speedboat becomes clearer, and Luca's heart grows heavier. They had no weapons on board, and the only ones they could use against pirates were high-pressure water cannons.
"Will the Arrow Wolf mercenaries be able to arrive in five minutes?"
Andrea did not hold out any hope for this, and he only took the statement of the wolf mercenary as a propaganda slogan. For the political slogan, whoever believes is a fool.
"Then why not try. Perhaps the wolf mercenaries are like God-like beings. Andrea let's pray, if the wolf is our God, otherwise we will all be prisoners. ”
Luca reverently folded his hands. Pray to the heavens.
Andrea patted Serena's little hand that was clasped on her stomach:
"Baby, go to the communication room, contact the Arrow Wolf mercenaries, and sue them. We are being attacked by Somali pirates, the situation is critical, and we need their rescue. ”
Lukka glanced at Serena, who was still trembling on Andrea, and said:
"Captain. I'll do it anyway!"
Lukka walked into the communications room next door to the cockpit and tuned the radio frequency to the public frequency announced by the Arrowwolves, and all the crew members gathered outside the communication room waited with bated breath for the results.
Lukka shouted into the microphone in English miserably:
"Arrow wolf, arrow wolf, we are the Italian BM shipping company 'Doria' container ship, I am the first mate Lucca, and now our location is 51.464143 east longitude, 12.632778 north latitude.
The Doria was attacked by pirates, they had four high-speed speedboats, about 20 people, equipped with rocket launchers and AK series weapons, we had no weapons, and were ready to perform an S-shaped maneuver to delay their boarding.
The situation is in crisis, I ask you for help, I ask you for help, please save us for God's sake. ”
As soon as Luca's words fell, a pleasant female voice came from the amplification, and she comforted Luca in Italian with affection:
"Mr. Luca, don't panic, may I ask if there is any loss of your crew and cargo?"
"No, miss. The pirates were still three kilometers away from us, and they were coming towards us at high speed. What should we do now?" Luca replied in Italian, too.
The friendly mother tongue added a little comfort to the hearts of the crew gathered outside the communication room, and Serena let go of the hand holding Andrea and returned to her studio to assist Luca.
"Don't do anything, organize your crew, sit on deck, and if you still have whiskey, you might as well open two bottles and drink while watching the rare sight.
Mr. Luka, next time you pray to God, pray to the wolf mercenaries, and we will bless you.
From now on, there will be a maximum of four minutes and fifteen seconds before the Arrow Wolf Mercenaries will appear in front of you. Ladies and gentlemen, go out on deck and say hello to the pirates who are about to meet God. See you soon!"
The sound in the loudspeaker stopped abruptly, and a dozen crew members looked at each other, and that's it, let's go to the deck for a drink and go to say hello to the pirates, really?
Andrea asked Luca, who was sitting in a swivel chair:
"Uncle Luca, do you think it's true? How do I feel like it's a joke? A joke that isn't funny. ”
"I think it's true. Andrea, the two bottles of Huaguo Moutai you put in my place, do you want to drink it? ”
The first to relax was Serena, the only woman on board, who took out two bottles of Huaguo Moutai from her desk cabinet and a stack of paper cups.
"What else can we do now? Let's go, go to the deck and drink. ”
A dozen crew members gathered around their captain and the only female animal that gave them infinite reverie out of the wheelhouse, leaving only the chief engineer at the helm there.
The speed of the speedboat was very fast, and in an instant, it was within the visual range of both sides, and the hideous faces of the pirates were displayed in front of the crew.
The chief engineer of the "Doria" began to jerk the rudder and flicked the stern to prevent the speedboat from approaching. The pirates on the pirate ship shouted over a megaphone to stop the ship or they would be killed if they boarded the ship.
The crew began to get nervous again, and the expensive Moutai liquor in the paper cups was sprinkled on the deck in dots of water.
It was still Serena's sharp eyes, and she first saw two black dots flying in the western sky.
"Look, what's that?"
"Airplanes, that's airplanes. ”
"The wolf is here, and I've been saved. ”
"It's really less than five cents, how did they do it?"
The crew cheered, and the arrival of the wolf mercenary plane meant that the four pirate speedboats should have retreated. (To be continued......) I1292
