Volume VI Chapter 747 Confrontation at Sea

In the captain's room of the 'Cui Ying' missile destroyer, three people were sitting around a table, and a cup of hot coffee was placed in front of each of them, and the atmosphere seemed very harmonious. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The captain's room can be said to be one of the most secret places on the ship, and at this moment, in addition to the captain and special operations commander of this missile destroyer, there is actually a foreigner.

"Mr. James, thank you very much for the information you provided, I think this time, the Republic of Korea will completely free the hostages from the hands of those vicious pirates, with the assistance of the Republic of Korea's powerful special forces and US allies, these pirates can only tremble and stand trial under the guns of justice!" The destroyer's captain, Chung Jae-ho, raised his eyebrows, looking extremely excited, as if he had seen him command the South Korean special forces to successfully rescue the hostages, become a hero of South Korea, and become famous all over the world, for this, he may have an extra star on his shoulder.

Although in Chung Jae-ho's mind, the role of the Americans in the 'classic anti-terrorist hostage rescue operation' that is about to be completed is not taken for granted, but in the face of the Americans, this "Korean republicist" element still has a sense of humility in his bones, and he has to give some credit to the Americans.

Jung Jae-ho's arrogance is unstoppable, and it is as if the South Korean special forces have been caught in this operation, so that James? Li secretly despised it in his heart. No one knows better than him the difference between Somalia today and the past, and in dealing with all matters in Somalia, it is fundamentally different from the usual eyes, otherwise it will definitely be himself who suffers, and the same is true for Somali pirates.

Although the CIA's intelligence work in Somalia has not been smooth, it is one of the largest intelligence agencies in the world, and its strength should not be underestimated. James naturally has a lot of information about the 'Gulf of Aden Hunters', and according to his analysis, this new group of well-trained pirates is very likely to have the support of the Somali military behind them, and even have a relationship with the Chinese commander.

With the habit of the Chinese commander who has a tough surname and never suffers, he will never watch the 'Gulf of Aden Hunters' he supports be wiped out by the Koreans, and there will definitely be relevant actions.

The purpose of the Americans' participation in this incident is to give confidence to the South Koreans and provide some information, so that these arrogant South Koreans will have more confidence and more arrogant and severe means, and only in this way will the anger of the Chinese commander be aroused, and more diplomatic conflicts and even armed conflicts may break out between the two sides. In the waters of the Gulf of Aden, the strength of the South Koreans is obviously not comparable to that of Somalia, and South Korea does not have the strength to project long-range large-scale military force, and if it wants to occupy an advantage in the conflict with Somalia, it must rely on the Americans, so that the United States does not have to do it personally, and can gain benefits, and can also take the opportunity to weaken Somalia.

The real purpose of the Americans is to create one opponent after another for Somalia and to restrain Somalia's development, because when Somalia has more and more enemies in the world, the space for development will become smaller and smaller, and it will eventually be isolated. At that time, the United States did not even need to do it personally, and Somalia could only sink except to 'surrender', and finally fall apart under foreign and internal pressure.

This plan is not unsophisticated, and the United States will not take a stand on some easily discovered matters and sow discord between Somalia and other countries, but will achieve its goals through seemingly trivial and irrelevant things.

However, in this kind of plan, there is a problem that must be considered, that is, to train to balance the Somali opponent, the strength cannot be too weak, too weak is useless, and the Americans have suffered this dumb loss before. Kenya was part of the Americans' plan, but it was soon struck by the powerful blow of the Chinese commander, and he was frightened and bowed down. The second time, the Americans planned to let the African lion touch Somalia, but the African lion now has a shrewd political axe, and when it feels wrong, it immediately retracts and never falls for it again.

The two failures made the Americans more and more cautious in carrying out this plan, and this time, they once again chose a target, that is, South Korea.

After learning the lessons of the first two times, the Americans are very cautious when selecting targets, first, this 'chess piece' must have the capital to protect itself, secondly, it must have exploitable loopholes, and finally, this chess piece does not have the ability to oppose the guest.

Such a requirement, first of all, excludes most European countries, because European countries except for those big countries, other countries The influence of the United States is not high, these countries have an earlier history than the United States, and the degree of freedom is not inferior, plus Europe has always been the traditional center of the world, and it is not easy to provoke these countries to fight with others. Countries with potential in other regions are also not good, because in the struggle between this chess piece and Somalia, the Americans will definitely have to provide some 'assistance', and it is very likely that countries with potential will take the opportunity to develop and get out of control when the time comes, and then endanger the United States itself.

Originally, the Americans planned to choose Yueben, because it can be seen from some intelligence that the Chinese commander was not friendly to Yue, but he can be said to be the most fierce and obedient hound in the hands of the Americans, and his economic, scientific, technological, and military strength is too strong, and the United States has scruples about using it, because the United States is carrying Yueben to contain China, and if Yueben is allowed to strengthen its presence and influence in the Middle East, it is very easy for this hound to become a more cunning and ferocious hungry wolf. The most important thing is that he is famous for his deceit, and the Americans can hardly guarantee that they will discover the true purpose of this plan.

Thus, a country that is often born of megalomania appears in the eyes of Americans. South Korea, this is a very special country, just like the vicious cunning, arrogance and ignorance are the unique surnames of most Koreans. They always think that they are superior, but they do not have the corresponding strength to support them. Koreans, who are good at fantasy, are always happy to live in a dream, and they are disdainful of other peoples, as if they are the smartest and noblest in the world. With the development of the country's economy and scientific research, some small achievements have made them more and more invincible, and they want to fight for everything, whether they have the ability or not, whether it is realistic or not, it is not in their simple minds. As long as it is good, they are happy to take it for themselves.

It is because this nation has been living humbly for hundreds of thousands of years, and the kind of slave surname that has been deeply ingrained in the bones, after a slight pause in the whipping whip on the top of their heads, immediately feels that they are favored by the heavens, and that the powerful enemies are all intimidated by them. is like the family members who bullied the soft and feared the hard that followed the ancient gentlemen.

The Americans have made good use of this loophole, so that the special surname of this strange nation, which is humble in its bones but tries its best to show its 'tall and noble' side, has found an opportunity with the illusion and vain pursuit of 'power' of this slave nation as bait.

Somalia and North Korea are very close, which makes the arrogant South Koreans deeply dissatisfied, especially last year, after the North Korea acquired an advanced tank, the South Koreans were completely boiling, and they shouted "Long live the Han nation...... Dominate the rivers and lakes. Uh, the slogan of unifying the Korean Peninsula, protested outside the embassies of several Somali countries. This incident also caused quite a diplomatic storm at that time.

This time, it is a great event that the ROK is extremely expected to be able to show the world the strength of the ROK and take the opportunity to deter Somalia by force through the opportunity to crack down on Somali pirates.

Although it was still a secret at this time, it was not a secret to the military and the political axe's top brass, and it is said that some people were already celebrating the victory of the Republic of Korea at home.

The moment James lowered his head to drink coffee, the disdainful gaze in his eyes flashed, and then he raised his head and showed an approving smile and said, "Captain Zheng is right, the strength of Captain Cui and the members of the special combat team has always been known to the world, and that group of pirates is like a group of clowns in front of the special combat team, and they can be easily crushed." If this cancer that threatens the world's free trade is defeated, it is believed that the ROK Navy and special forces will become heroes in the eyes of the people of the world, and this will be very beneficial to the ROK Navy and special forces going global. ”

Sure enough, after hearing James's words, Jung Jae-ho's eyes lit up. He has always hoped that South Korea can become a world power, and the Korean team will become one of the most powerful armies in the world. As a member of the navy, Jung Jae-ho's biggest hope is for South Korea's Han Joon to become a true blue ocean navy, rather than basically huddled on the Korean Peninsula as it is now, surrounded by Russia, Huaxia, Yuben and the U.S. Navy. Getting out of the 'encirclement' and patrolling the world's oceans is what the Republic of Korea Navy should be capable of, and the Korean Navy must also have this qualification.

This Somali escort is a good opportunity for those of them who are 'Koreanists', and it is even more useful to be able to show the world the strength of the ROK Navy.

And James's words undoubtedly made Jung Jae-ho hear a hint that the Americans hope that the South Korean Navy will become stronger, go to the world, and become a solid ally of the United States.

Rubbing his hands excitedly, Captain Zheng suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Mr. James, this time to fight pirates, the Somali political axe will not interfere, right?" "Although he feels that the victory is in his hands, and that with the support of the Americans, the outcome can be predicted, but he is not an idiot, and it is incumbent on him to fight piracy, and it would not be good if there was a conflict with the Somali political axe or even the army.

He doesn't care about the Somali Navy, just a few missile boats are not as good as the KDX-2 class missile destroyer with a full load displacement of 5,500 tons. But this is too close to the Somali mainland, Somalia has an air force, and more than 20 Su-27 fighters are fully capable of threatening this destroyer. Although the domestic order is not to worry about the reaction of the Somali political axe, as long as it does not cross the territorial waters of Somalia. But he still cautiously asked James, because the other party was from the CIA and must know Somalia better.

"Captain Zheng rest assured, the Somali political axe will never embarrass you in this matter, and besides, fighting piracy is the responsibility and obligation of every peaceful country, and it is a legitimate act authorized by the United Nations Security Council. You don't need to have any scruples! James said with a smile.
