readx;
The port of Lunge in southern Iran is not only the most important port of Iran in the Persian Gulf, but also one of the largest naval bases of the Iranian Navy. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The port of Info Lunge is located on the northern shore of the Strait of Hormuz, across the sea from Saudi Arabia's Dubai, and if you firmly control it, you will control the entire Persian Gulf.
Due to its strategic geographical location, Iran's political axe expands the Lunge military port every year, and a considerable part of the Iranian navy's ships are deployed here, with the cooperation of naval aviation, to contain the Strait of Hormuz, which can be considered to be the main transportation route for 30% of the world's oil transportation.
Because of the tension in the Middle East caused by the Iranian nuclear issue, the two US aircraft carrier battle groups have been assembled in the Arabian Sea to deter Iran and some US political axes as 'potential hostile countries'. As the center of the turmoil, Iran's political axe and military will naturally not sit idly by, including the Iranian Navy and the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy have raised their vigilance and are ready to stand.
Frightened that war may break out in the Middle East at any time, the Persian Gulf has been even busier these days, and oil tankers from the world's major oil companies have come and gone in a hurry, trying to transport more oil back to China before the war breaks out and the Persian Gulf is shut down.
Oil is the blood of industry, it is indispensable, and once war breaks out, international oil prices are bound to rise, making the world's oil-importing countries pay some more price.
On the calm sea, an oil tanker flying the flag of the country is slowly approaching, this is a domestic oil tanker that has just returned from Saudi Arabia with crude oil.
As a country that imports almost 100 percent of its oil, nearly 90 percent of its oil imports come from the five Middle East countries, of which Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates account for more than 50 percent of the total, and Iran also has 15 percent. As the clouds of war in the Middle East accumulated, the government dispatched oil tankers to the Middle East to transport oil.
At the time of the Iraq war, the import of oil from Iran was not able to reach the Strait of Hormuz, so it had little impact, and once a war broke out between Iran and the United States and Israel, it was bound to cut off the Strait of Hormuz.
Therefore, during this period of time, the oil tankers came and went in a hurry, and the number was more than usual, and the countries did not feel abnormal, after all, not only in this area, but also in other oil importing countries.
"Woo ......" This native oil tanker suddenly sounded its whistle near Hendor Wax Bee Island, and then continued to go away without stopping, but where the oil tanker originally sounded the whistle, a small speedboat suddenly appeared and sailed to Hendo Wax Bee Island at a high speed of 40 knots.
The island is no more than a few miles in circumference, and its location is important near the main shipping route of the Persian Gulf. But because of outside pressure, Iran has not set up a military post on the island. It can be said that the current Hendor Wax Island is just an uninhabited island, and usually only Iranian Navy patrol boats patrol around it and go up to rest.
The speedboat, which suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea, was close to the island in a hidden location on the opposite side of the route of Hendo Waxbee Island, and the three men disembarked with a large black box.
Twenty minutes later, two Blade Runner speedboats carrying the flag of the Iranian Navy gradually came into view. The Blade Runner missile boat is a small high-speed speedboat imported by Iran from the United Kingdom, with a displacement of only 20 tons and a top speed of 65 knots. After Iran's modification, two 'Tianhe' anti-ship missiles imitating and improving the Huaxia C-704 anti-ship missiles were installed.
Because Iran is only close to the Persian Gulf, and the sea surface width ranges from tens of kilometers to hundreds of kilometers, large naval ships are not as useful as small high-speed speedboats in such a small space. With the exception of a few frigates, the Iranian Navy has mass-produced and introduced such small, high-speed missile boats and small submarines to attack the enemy's large ships in a similar way as 'sparrow tactics' and 'wolf pack tactics'.
The two Blade Runner missile boats patrolled here as usual and docked the missile boats at a makeshift pier on the north side of the island. Six Iranian Navy soldiers stepped out of the missile boat.
Although there are no Iranian military outposts on Hendowaxpi Island, Iran has built a hidden barracks because it can provide a place for patrols to rest.
"Oude, come on a cigarette." A soldier threw his life jacket in the corner and shouted at his companion.
In Iran, alcohol and tobacco are forbidden because of Islamic religious culture. Compared with alcohol, cigarettes still have a certain status in Iranian culture, especially hookahs, although the political axe has banned it several times, but in Iran, it is only in public that no one can smoke, but there are still many people who smoke in private.
In the military, the ban on alcohol and smoking is more thoroughly enforced, and only a few troops with special tasks can have the opportunity to smoke a few puffs in private. For example, when they are navy soldiers, as long as the members of the squad are close to each other when they are on patrol, they will not worry about being found smoking on the sea.
The soldier known as Oude looked young and bright-eyed, but when he came to the barracks, his eyes showed hesitation.
Hearing his companion's words, Oude smiled reluctantly, fumbled through his life jacket for a while, took out half a pack of crumpled cigarettes, and several naval soldiers cheered at the same time, and one of them came over and lit one.
These soldiers only cared about smoking, and they didn't even notice a detail, that is, Oude, who was usually a big smoker, didn't even smoke.
A minute passed, and when half of the cigarettes in the hands of several soldiers disappeared, several soldiers suddenly noticed that the images in front of them began to change and overlap, and their minds were suddenly groggy.
"Oude ......" Just when several people sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly threw away the cigarettes in their hands, they looked up and saw that their companions had actually pulled out pistols and pointed them at them.
"Oude, what are you doing, why don't you put the gun away." The person who spoke first was the captain of this patrol team, and his position was also the highest, and when he saw Oude's movements, his face changed slightly, and he shouted angrily with mental fatigue.
At this time, how could he not know that there was a problem with the cigarette he had just smoked? It's just that he still doesn't understand, why did Oude, who is usually very honest, do this?
Didn't he know that this was tantamount to treason? The crime of killing comrades-in-arms is punishable by capital punishment in any country.
Oude's face changed, but he didn't put down his pistol, and with a slightly trembling hand, he took the gun and fired a shot at the ground on the side of a soldier who had reached for his gun.
"Bang!"
"Don't move, or I'll kill you." Oude's face finally turned hideous, and he gritted his teeth and shouted.
Several soldiers who were struggling with fatigue were stunned, they didn't expect Oude to really dare to shoot.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed by the applause ......of another person.
"Well done...... Ha ha. Three Asians walked in from the outside, clapping their hands on a shorter man, while the other two Asians, each with a submachine gun, pointed their guns at several people with murderous expressions.
"You ...... Oude, do you know what you're doing? The squad leader was startled when he saw the three Asians, and then staggered to his feet and yelled at Oude. Now he understood that Oude's actions were not just as simple as targeting a few of them, it was a big conspiracy. It's an uninhabited island, and almost no one usually comes here except for Iranian naval patrols. Now, Oude's unusual move, coupled with the sudden appearance of three Asians, makes one think that this is all a conspiracy against Iran.
As a soldier with infinite loyalty to his homeland, he could be killed by Ode, but he could not tolerate a conspiracy against Iran.
The five crumbling soldiers reacted as well, and at the same time let out a roar of rage, reaching for the pistol they were carrying. And the team leader quietly touched the emergency caller on his body. Although this kind of pager cannot transmit sound to the base headquarters from a distance of several tens of kilometers, it can transmit wireless signals, and the headquarters can find the location of the signal it transmits through satellite positioning.
The Asians at the head laughed evilly, and without a signal, the submachine guns in the hands of the two men behind them opened fire.
With a slight burst of gunfire, blood splattered from the five Iranian naval soldiers. And at the moment when his eyes were gray, the squad leader's fingers were only a few centimeters away from the emergency caller button on his arm.
Seeing five of his comrades-in-arms who had been together for more than a year being beaten to death, Oude's spirit almost collapsed.
"You...... Words don't count...... Didn't you say not to kill? A disdainful laugh from the Asian woke Ode from his near-collapse and then rushed towards the Asian in the lead.
"Bang!" Before Oude rushed in front of the leading Asians, he felt a figure flash in front of him, and a strong force came from his chest, and the whole person flew out upside down and slammed into the wall of the barracks. The pistol in his hand was also thrown out in the impact.
"Ahem......" Oude felt that his internal organs were mashed, the pain was unbearable, his mouth opened slightly, and a mouthful of blood coughed out along the corner of his mouth. The man kicked him with a kick just now.
The Asians led by him tidied up their collars very casually, as if they had just been messed up by the other party.
A mocking smile hung on his face, and he said, "Talking doesn't count? No, we say that the samurai of this empire have always been the same. But well...... I remember that I promised not to kill anyone, and I didn't say that my men would not kill people...... Rattle! A sinister laugh came out of the barracks, drifting away in the wind.
Half an hour later, three Asians came to the north side of the island, and the two of their men got on two missile boats, and the leader returned to the speedboat they had been riding on.
With the sound of motors, the three speedboats departed in two directions and gradually disappeared into the sea.
