Chapter 678: Encounter a Pirate?
(Read more)
The naval battle in the distance ended, the destroyer ran towards the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and the frigate returned to the direction of the Philippines. The sea was calm again, the boundless sea was submerged, not even a single fragment of a bomb remained, and if it weren't for the thick smell of gunpowder in the air, no one would have thought that just now, there had been a fierce naval battle here.
Everyone on the freighter breathed a sigh of relief, although they all liked to shoot guns, but in the vast sea, when the freighter met the destroyer, who won or lost, they could judge with their toes.
"Order, speed up, and quickly cross this sea!" Zhao Changshu stood in the watchtower and issued the order.
The 10,000-ton freighter moved forward at full speed with all its power, its bow like a huge iron plough cutting a deep blue trench across the sea, and then closing its stern with the sound of waves colliding.
The "Queen" soon plunged headlong into the Babuyan Islands in the northern part of the Philippines, and after passing through this archipelago, the "Queen" will cross the Pacific Ocean to Guam in the United States, and then change course to the north of the Peak Kingdom.
With another half day's voyage, the freighter will be able to leave the Babuyan Islands. Just when everyone thought they could get out of this dangerous sea safely, a huge destroyer suddenly appeared in front of them!
The people of the Poison Dragon Society and the Huayou delegation stood on the deck and looked at the destroyer in the distance, a little speechless, they sailed at full speed, just to avoid trouble, but they couldn't dodge, and trouble still came to the door.
At this time, the people on the opposite battleship must have also discovered them, and it was impossible for them to avoid it.
"Brother Gun, what should we do? Do you want the brothers to transport heavy weapons to the deck and prepare for battle?" asked the general who was standing beside Zhao Changlan.
Before Zhao Changshu could speak, Yang Minhao on the side rolled his eyes and said: "They are authentic destroyers, do you really think that a freighter with more artillery and a group of sharpshooters can be comparable to a destroyer? Besides, how do you know that people want to be unfavorable to us? Maybe they are just passing by." ”
"! Can't you just wait for death? You are not afraid of waiting for death, Lao Tzu is afraid, Lao Tzu is going to prepare weapons and fight with them. I'm sure they're not here to ask you for a drink. Zhao Yushan glared at Yang Minhao, turned around and ran towards the cabin.
At this moment, more than a dozen shells flew from the destroyer and landed on the left and right sides of the "Queen", and a column of water more than ten meters high splashed in the rumbling loud noise, and the sea water rushed to the deck in pieces, and everyone's clothes were instantly wet, and they all became chickens in soup.
Where have Yang Minhao and other people from the Huayou delegation seen such a scene, they turned pale with fright, and looked at Zhao Changshu with frightened eyes, at this moment, Zhao Changshu, the captain, has become their backbone, and all the identities they were proud of before have become garbage.
The general glared at Yang Minhao, and said hatefully: "Now can you be sure that they are not your friends?" After finishing speaking, he said to Zhao Changshu: "Brother gun, we fought with them!"
Zhao Changshu shook the water beads on his head vigorously and said, "Don't be busy, they are just deterrent shooting, they won't really bomb us, if I guess correctly, they are also seeking money." Sink our ship, they will get nothing, it will not do them the slightest. ”
"And what do we do?" asked the worker, already carrying a black pistol in his hand, and the safety was open.
"Put the guns away and see what they want to do. Zhao said to the worker, who quickly hid the gun under his clothes, but the insurance was not closed, and the other brothers hid their weapons as well.
Sure enough, as Zhao Changshu expected, after firing a few shells, the destroyer did not fire again, but accelerated and sailed towards the "Queen", and the ship's loudspeaker issued a warning sound in English: "Listen to the freighter opposite, we are the law enforcement brigade of the Philippine Maritime Guard, please stop the ship immediately, and everyone will go to the deck for inspection." ”
Hearing the shouting from the other side, someone in the Huayou delegation immediately breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "It's someone from the Philippine Maritime Guard, it's okay now, we are a serious freighter, and the misunderstanding is all a misunderstanding." ”
Zhao Changshu immediately glanced at him like an idiot, but he didn't say anything, he had already seen that the Gu destroyer that appeared opposite them was the one that was driven away by the Philippine frigate yesterday, and now the people on the ship actually claimed to be from the Philippine Maritime Guard, and this egg is too nonsense.
Yang Minhao also found that the ship opposite was the one from yesterday, and he just judged that the people on the ship were not necessarily enemies, which really made people blush, and now he heard his subordinates say that it was okay, and he couldn't help but want to slap that guy on the head.
Damn, it's not your fault that you're stupid, but it's abominable to try to infect someone else.
"Shut up for me!" Yang Minhao glared at his subordinates. Although the things carried on the ship were medicinal herbs on the surface, Yang Minhao could still guess that there must be other things hidden secretly, besides, even if their ship was full of medicinal herbs, how could the guns on their bodies be explained to others now?
"Later they may have to board the ship to check, everyone is ready for battle, artillery battle, we are not opponents of destroyers, but in close combat, they are by no means our opponents. Zhao Changshu said, "Commander Yang, you should immediately retreat to the cabin and help Zhao Yushan choose a weapon." It is necessary to use individual mortars as much as possible, and all actions should be subject to his arrangement. ”
Although Yang Minhao had long expected that there might be arms on this ship, he was still taken aback when he heard that Zhao Changshu personally asked them to help Zhao Yushan get weapons. But this is not the time for him to be surprised, let alone the time for him to put on a stand and show off his high level, this is a life-threatening moment, this guy knows very well in his heart that if he engages in political and bureaucratic struggles, he may be not a star and a half above the group of martial artists in front of him, but he is far from being able to fight with real swords and guns.
So he said yes and quickly entered the cabin with the delegation.
"Aaron Hung, you immediately bring your sniper rifle, seize the advantageous terrain and hide yourself, and be ready to shoot at any time! Zhao Changshu said to Hong Aaron again.
"Yes! Brother Gun!" Hong Aaron agreed, and quickly ran away.
"Don't do it later, everyone do what I command. We must take their ships, or their guns will always be a great threat to us. If we are hit by their naval guns, we will be in trouble. Zhao Changshu said again to the Poison Dragon Brothers who remained on the deck.
In the minds of the general and the others, the naval battle they saw yesterday was suddenly reflected in the minds of the Philippine frigates, and an armor-piercing bullet fired by the destroyer hit the ammunition depot, causing a series of explosions, and finally sending the huge ship to the bottom of the sea.
The "Queen" was carrying far more munitions than the frigate, and if it was hit by naval guns, it would have been the same as yesterday's frigate.
The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer, and both sides could clearly see the people standing on the deck.
Zhao Changshu saw a line of big English letters painted on the hull of the destroyer, and Zhao Changgun's written English was no longer at the level of the original half-hanging, and he could recognize the meaning of the English word on it: "Empress".
Zhao Changshu couldn't help but be a little funny in his heart, their freighter was called "Queen", and their ship was called "Queen", which was really right.
The deck of the Empress was densely packed with people holding a variety of weapons in their hands, but most of them were AK rifles and M16 rifles, and a few people were carrying pistols in their hands, all of whom craned their necks to look at the people on the "Queen".
The brothers of the Poison Dragon Society looked at the dozens of people on the opposite ship, and couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, now that the two armies are facing each other, they don't hide in the turrets and are ready to fight, what the hell are they all running to the deck for?
"Are they rusty, and why are they so happy to see us, as if a hunter sees his prey?" asked the farmer, looking at the people on the ship opposite, curiously.
The workers also said to themselves, "Have we met the legendary pirates? They are going to kidnap us and extort us for ransom? When did the pirates come to his grandmother's waters?"
At this time, the destroyer was getting closer and closer to the "Queen," and the people on board no longer used a loudspeaker to shout, but directly put their hands together in the shape of a horn and put them to their mouths, shouting indiscriminately: "Listen, everyone, turn around, and raise your hands above your head! Don't try to make any resistance, dare to resist, and we will send your ship directly to the bottom of the sea!"
A brother of the Poison Dragon Society heard the domineering voice coming from the opposite side, glared at everyone on the destroyer with hatred, and his right hand was about to touch his waist. He wants to pull out his gun and shoot!
Not only this brother, but several other brothers of the Poison Dragon Society also subconsciously planned to draw their guns, they were afraid that once they turned their backs on the enemy, the enemy would shoot them into a hornet's nest in the back.
If there is a battle at this time, all the people on the freighter will definitely die, the freighter and the destroyer are not comparable in fire control systems at all, even if the "Queen" is relatively large, it is not an opponent of the "Empress", and only a few heavy torpedoes are needed to send the freighter to the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, after Zhao Changshu saw the movements of several brothers, he immediately whispered to them: "Don't act rashly! Do as they are told! Don't worry, they won't shoot." If they dared to shoot, Aaron would definitely shoot at the first opportunity. ”
After hearing Brother Gun's reminder, several brothers raised their hands above their heads and turned around.
The enemies of the frigate did not notice the action of the Poison Dragon Society brothers subconsciously pulling out their guns, they saw that everyone on the freighter was cowardly, not only obediently raised their hands, but also looked docile, so they twisted their butts around on the deck excitedly, shouting and screaming in their mouths.
The distance between the destroyer and the freighter is getting closer and closer, but there is no wind and waves in the sea, and it is impossible for the two ships to meet the side. Four speedboats were thrown from the destroyer in turn, each with eight people on board. The speedboat roared to the side of the freighter, and then used a projectile to project iron anchors onto the freighter.
