Chapter 687: Airborne AWACS
The second mate immediately stopped talking. Even he didn't expect that Zhao Changshu would sail the ship to that dead sea, let alone the people of M. The second officer turned out to be a naval officer, and he had some understanding of the Pacific Fleet of country M, and although the Pacific Fleet of country M claimed to control the entire Pacific Ocean, their main areas of activity were the Asia-Pacific region and the South Pacific. At that time, it will really be a needle in a haystack for the Pacific Fleet to find the Queen again.
Moreover, at that time, even if Country M knew the whereabouts of the Queen, they would not be able to send warships to destroy the Queen. Every sea area that the Pacific Fleet cruises is of strategic significance, and it is impossible for the people of country M to abandon their conventional strategic purpose for the sake of the small Queen, and go on a long-distance raid to search for the Queen all over the Pacific Ocean. That's a real loss-making deal.
Therefore, once the purpose of Zhao Changshu's transfer of route can really succeed and not be discovered in the sea area near the Gate of Hell, they will really be able to get rid of the threat of the Pacific Fleet of Country M and reach Pico Island safely.
Thinking of these powerful relationships, the second officer no longer debated with Zhao Changgun, but grabbed the internal phone of the cockpit and began to give orders to change course. In the vast Pacific Ocean, the "Queen" began to slowly change course.
Zhao Changlan's worries were not superfluous, in fact, it didn't take a day for country M to react to the "Empress" incident. The spy agency of country M quickly checked the information of the "Queen" to the bottom of it. When they learned that the freighter carrying a large number of lethal weapons had actually departed from China, they immediately made representations to China and asked China to recall the "Queen" as soon as possible, otherwise country M would take military action against the "Queen."
To the surprise of country M, Huaguo even denied that the "Queen" that had the accident was a Chinese freighter. There is a "Queen" in Huaguo, but at this time it is undergoing overhaul in a port in Huaguo, and it has not gone to sea at all! The "Queen" mentioned by country M is not a ship registered in China at all, and there is no entry or exit record in China, and China will not interfere with any action taken by country M against that ship.
Hua Guo's statement annoyed country M, and they decided to order the naval fleet to find the "Queen" and completely control him, and when the time comes, see what Hua Guo has to say.
So the authorities of country M cast a wide net in the South Pacific and began to search for the "Queen". At the same time, country M began to use international public opinion to smear Zhao Lance's "Queen", and even directly announced the "Queen" as a pirate ship!
There is a reason why country M attaches so much importance to the "Empress" incident.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, its influence in the world has also increased, which has made country M, as the world hegemon, panic. In order to curb the development of China, country M has cultivated various forces around China and created all kinds of troubles for China.
The pirates on the "Empress" that were eliminated by Zhao Changshu are a force secretly cultivated by country M, otherwise country M would not secretly sell the decommissioned warships to them. Country M's plan is very ambitious, not only to cultivate this force, but also to allow this force to infiltrate the South China Sea, intending to create trouble for China there.
Unexpectedly, this force that they had put a lot of effort into had not yet taken shape, and it was directly eliminated by Zhao Changshu by mistake. Therefore, country M hated the "Queen" freighter. I swore to find it, and then use it to slap the Chinese in the face.
In order to find the whereabouts of the "Queen", country M even dispatched the Pacific Seventh Fleet.
Now not only is it impossible to find the "Queen" in country M, but even China has lost contact with the Queen. In order to keep track of the whereabouts of the "Queen," the Chinese military installed a satellite positioning device on the "Queen," but now the positioning device they have installed on the "Queen" has failed. The Chinese military was unable to receive any information from the Queen, let alone locate its whereabouts.
In a simple villa in the western suburbs of Yanjing, Old Man Qian walked back and forth in his study for a few steps, and then grabbed the red secret phone on the table and dialed a satellite phone number, this is the third time he has dialed this number, but this time it is the same as the last two times, the phone is still not dialed.
Old Man Qian had no choice but to put down the phone again in disappointment, and muttered softly: "What kind of trick is this bastard boy playing?" Where the hell did he take the Queen? ”
Although Mr. Qian once sued Zhao Changshu that their ship had nothing to do with Huaguo when it left Huaguo, in fact, Mr. Qian was paying attention to the "Queen" all the time. This is a top-secret mission, which can only succeed and not fail, if it fails, not only will the giant oil fields of the Piqu Kingdom have nothing to do with Huaguo, but Huaguo's strategic idea of using the Pique Kingdom to contain Country M will also come to naught.
Unexpectedly, now Zhao Changshu drove the "Queen" and suddenly disappeared! This made Mr. Qian feel a little bottomless.
After failing to contact Zhao Changshu again, Old Man Qian gave up contacting again, but dialed the secret phone number of the leader of Huaguo No. 1, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "No. 1, the Queen is missing, and we can't get any contact with it." ”
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a full minute, and then a deep baritone voice came: "Two things, one is that we must not send people into the Pacific Ocean to look for the Queen, but we can let our most advanced nuclear submarine secretly search for the traces of the Queen, and the second is that we must send another delegation to the Kingdom of Peake." ”
Old man Qian exchanged a few words with No. 1, hung up the phone, and then dialed several calls in a row and made some arrangements. Old Man Qian knew that No. 1 did not intend to give up Zhao Changshu by making such an arrangement, but because once Hua Guo sent people into the Pacific Ocean to find the traces of Zhao Changshu, it was likely to be true, after all, Hua Guo had already announced to the outside world that the "Queen" had nothing to do with Hua Guo.
Just when country M was trying to find the "Queen" in the vast Pacific Ocean, and the top level of China was also worried about the fate of the "Queen," the "Queen" was heading toward the "Gate of Hell," the most dangerous sea area in the Pacific Ocean.
Hell's Gate is not as well-known in the world as the Bermuda Delta, but it is considered the most dangerous sea in the Pacific Ocean, where the danger mainly comes from storms and strong underground magnetic fields, and due to the gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon, typhoons are raging here almost every day, so no freighter dares to pass through this area.
Zhao Changshu took the risk of choosing here, but it was also a helpless move. The area where the "Queen" is now located is the most active area of the Pacific Fleet of Country M, and the Pacific Fleet may find its whereabouts at any time. However, as long as the "Queen" unexpectedly approached the "Gates of Hell" area, it could stay away from the sea area where the Taiping Fleet was active, and thus completely disappear under the nose of the fleet of country M.
Zhao Changshu is most worried that he will be locked in by the Pacific Fleet of country M before he runs to the gate of hell, if that happens, things will really be terrible.
In order to be able to detect the enemy situation at the first time, Zhao Changshu did not rely solely on the radar system installed on the freighter, and the radar resolution on the Queen was too low to detect stealth aircraft in the air. Therefore, Zhao Changshu arranged for the younger brothers of the Poison Dragon Society to take turns on the deck to observe the situation in the sky with high-resolution telescopes, and once they found that a plane was flying over their heads, they would immediately come and report to him.
Zhao Changlan's trick quickly took effect, and just as the "Queen" was heading towards the Sea Area of Hell Gate at full speed, a junior brother suddenly ran up to Zhao Changshu and said loudly: "Brother Gun, Brother Gun!" Discover the target! ”
Zhao Changshu threw down the "Naval Weapons Spectrum" in his hand and ran out of his room before his little brother, quickly ran to the deck, and looked up at the blue sky.
He saw a plane hovering at the height of the Queen's freighter, but because the plane was flying at too high altitude, he could not determine whether it was an AWACS aircraft.
"Brother gun, do you want to shoot?" A younger brother asked.
"the fart! Can your cannonballs hit so high? Zhao Yushan, who rushed to hear the news, glared at the little brother and said.
The little brother scratched his hair with his hand and was blown by the sea breeze, and said, "Hehe, aren't I afraid that our whereabouts will be exposed?" ”
He looked at the sky with the high-resolution telescope that he had already snatched from his younger brother, and after looking at it for a while, he said to Zhao Changshu beside him: "Brother gun, it is really an early warning aircraft, but it is impossible to identify whether it is an early warning aircraft from country M, will it not reduce its flight altitude?" ”
The biggest difference between an early warning aircraft and an ordinary aircraft is that the fuselage carries a large radar system, which is easy to distinguish from normal passing aircraft, and normal aircraft will not hover over the freighter at all, so it can always be judged that what is flying above their heads at this moment is an early warning aircraft.
"Don't worry, I said that if it was really an AWACS aircraft of country M, they would definitely reduce their flight altitude! They simply did not think that there would be a large number of anti-aircraft guns on our freighters. Therefore, the arrogant soldiers of country M will definitely come to provoke us, and then it will be the time for our anti-aircraft artillery to show its might! Now everyone obeys me! Zhao Changshu said loudly.
"Yes!" More than 30 brothers, including the general staff, immediately responded loudly.
"Everyone get under the canvas covering the anti-aircraft guns, finish preparing for firing, as soon as I give the order, you will immediately throw off the canvas and fire the cannons immediately! Attention, before I gave the order to fire the artillery, no one could lift the canvas off the anti-aircraft artillery and expose the anti-aircraft artillery! Zhao Changshu said again.
"Understood!" Everyone said yes in unison, and then quickly got under the yellow canvases, and under each canvas was an anti-aircraft cannon that had already been fixed to the deck.
Zhao Changshu was the only one left on the deck, he held a telescope and looked at the early warning aircraft in the sky, and kept chanting in his heart: "Come down, come down!" Don't let down my dear meal for you! If you go back like this, you will live up to Lao Tzu's deep friendship! ”
