Chapter 173

All the mobile phones, laptops and other communication equipment on board the Ice Dragon were confiscated, and even all the computers on the Ice Dragon were cut off from the outside network. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOnly a handful of people know that their toughest target turned out to be the Crozet Islands, three thousand kilometers away. The Ice Dragon sailed at full speed with the help of strong ocean currents and westerly winds, much to the surprise of the scientists on the Ice Dragon. The waterway from Madagascar to the Krosze Islands has long been studied internationally, and the Ice Dragon has sailed the same kind before. Moreover, scientific expeditions rarely sail at full speed, and the speed is very fast, which is very difficult for sampling and meteorological investigations.

In the dark night, on the deck of the Ice Dragon, Su Chen was desperately stuffing pills into his mouth. In order to ensure the smooth sailing of the Ice Dragon, he almost collapsed. Others didn't know the purpose of the Ice Dragon's change of course this time, he was under too much pressure, and he was now sitting in the stern of the ship very seriously. Strong westerly winds mixed with ice slag, rain and fog, the temperature plummeted, and most of the people had already entered the cabin except for those on duty.

Political Commissar Luo walked over with a serious face and found a place to sit down next to Su Chen: "Comrade Su Chen, we have done our best, the so-called planning is in the people, and the success is in the sky." ”

Regardless of the lives and deaths of thousands of expatriates waiting for rescue, the Ice Dragon chose to become a deserter. If things go wrong again, I'm afraid the above will not excuse us. Su Chen sighed as he looked at the Ice Dragon that was struggling to move forward in the wind and rain.

Political Commissar Luo was speechless, although it was actually Su Chen who made the decision to evacuate the Ice Dragon from Mahajanga, it was ostensibly decided through the meeting of Captain Gao Qingsong and the Party Committee, so if the mission failed, Su Chen would be dealt with secretly, but they would have to deal with it publicly.

Suddenly, an alarm signal of up to 30 seconds came from the bow of the ship, and the whole ship began to broadcast repeatedly; The captain is the commander-in-chief, grasps the enemy situation, and is responsible for external relations; The political commissar serves as the on-site commander, organizes and mobilizes personnel, and adapts to the situation according to the enemy; The sailor on duty turns on all the lights on deck and controls the searchlights; The boatswain and chief mechanic were responsible for preparing weapons for self-defense, controlling the living quarters and the engine room passages, respectively; The carpenter and the third engineer are responsible for connecting the faucet and starting the fire pump respectively; The chief engineer is responsible for directing the engine room personnel, emergency control of the machine, and organizing the closure of the engine room; The rest of the crew assembles in the cafeteria and forms a self-defense force as needed.

Su Chen and Political Commissar Luo glanced at each other, this is not the Gulf of Aden, not to mention far away from the African continent, the geographical location is closer to Antarctica, and the total number of ships like the Ice Dragon passing through these waters will not exceed 10 times a year.

The pirates who appear here will freeze to death if they don't starve to death. But after the encounter with pirates in the port of Mahajanga, it turned out to be a very rare encounter with pirates again! It's incredible! In fact, from the moment the Ice Dragon docked at Mahajanga, a dark battle began. It's just that of all the ships in the world that can approach the Crozet Islands and Antarctica, the Ice Dragon is the largest and the fastest. The warships of the United States have to depart from the Gulf of Aden, and India and Australia have to depart even further from the mainland. After a short discussion, the Huaxia military made a decision, that is, let the Ice Dragon go!

In fact, Su Chen knew from the moment he received the call that it was very likely that the Mahajanga riot was started by the Mi people, and the purpose was to drag the Ice Dragon, and if a ship was sent from the escort formation in Huaxia, it was very likely that it would be behind the Mi people.

And the pirates near the port of Mahajanga are even more of a joke. Can a pirate make up his mind about an icebreaker with a displacement of 21,000 tons, a fraud of 700 million, and thirty marines guarding it? I'm afraid that even the most powerful warship in the whole of Africa may not necessarily get cheap in front of the Ice Dragon.

But now, when it was most necessary to sail at full speed, he encountered pirates again. Su Chen and Political Commissar Luo returned to the captain's office at the same time, and according to the system, the Ice Dragon has been in a state of military takeover since Mahajanga and has not been in contact. So now the supreme commander of the ship is still Su Chen.

Su Chen picked up the captain's walkie-talkie and said, "The Ice Dragon is sailing at full speed, all the snipers are gathered on the deck, the speedboat is ready, and the helicopter is ready." ”

Hearing Su Chen's order, Gao Qingsong and Political Commissar Luo glanced at each other, they really admired Su Chen's ability to adapt to emergencies before, Mahajanga at least so far no Chinese people have been harmed in the riots.

But now the temperature is close to freezing, the wind is squeezing hail, and the visibility on the sea is so low that helicopters, let alone speedboats, cannot take off and land at all.

Su Chen made a brief deployment under the surprised eyes of the two, and the people who were still sent out to the Mahzanga Hotel to perform the mission were gathered in the conference room for the first time.

Xue Haiqiang and Hu Baoding were holding shiny rifles, and the gunmen were wrapped in thick cotton clothes. Seeing Su Chen come in, he naturally stood up and saluted.

Mahajanga's assault made these proud Marines look up to the young lieutenant colonel.

"Those people are not pirates, they are residents or soldiers of the Klose Islands. So there were no warnings, no detours, no drives, only fighting. So you guys need to suppress from a distance, and then find an opportunity to hell with a bazooka! ”

Then there was a strange scene on the Ice Dragon, six military tents appeared on the deck, which were originally used by the scientific expedition members on the way to the research station after landing in Antarctica, but now became the blocking positions of the snipers. Then, in the wind and waves, the Ice Dragon moved forward at high speed, and two fishing boats from the Kerguelen Islands and the Croze Islands next to it tried to approach and block the Ice Dragon's advance.

But they were greeted not only by the waves set off by the Ice Dragon, but also by the dense gunfire from the deck. Because of the visibility and wind speed, the people on the fishing boats were lucky, they disguised themselves as pirates, but they did not have decent weapons. To be honest, even if the Ice Dragon stopped and let them board the ship, they couldn't help the more than 200 expedition members on the Ice Dragon, you must know that these people are all from military backgrounds.

Not to mention the fact that there were thirty marines among them, but they still braved the snow and their lives to arrive. Their purpose was not to rob the Ice Dragon, but to find a way to delay it.

In fact, their tasks so far have been outstanding! Soon, however, they saw the fire dragon rising from the Ice Dragon, and yes, it was a bazooka used in land warfare. Even Xue Haiqiang didn't understand why Su Chen had so many bazookas, could it be that the two wooden boxes that Su Chen carried on the boat at the beginning were all filled with these guys instead of Chinese herbs?

The bazooka still didn't hit the fishing boat, but the fishing boat was farther away from the Ice Dragon. The safety of the Ice Dragon's navigation has been further improved.

The wind is getting louder and it's getting colder! The goal is also getting closer. The two fishing boats were constantly under the threat of sniper rifles, and the cold weather, howling storms, high-speed sailing, and fiery bullets constituted the last symphony of these people's lives.

Then, before the fishing boat left, the air began to roar again, and the reconnaissance plane, it turned out to be a reconnaissance plane! Infinitely lowering the altitude and getting infinitely close to the Ice Dragon, the people on the plane warned the Ice Dragon in fluent French that the Ice Dragon had entered the French Linghai without permission and must leave immediately!

At this time, the people on the Ice Dragon were completely confused, and it stands to reason that if a scientific research ship like the Ice Dragon wants to conduct a scientific investigation in the waters near Klose, it will definitely make contact with the French government. Now the Ice Dragon has temporarily changed course, and many people think it's the rhythm of trek!

The French actually used a reconnaissance plane to come, knowing that it could crash at any time in such bad weather, and the people on the Ice Dragon admired the dedication of the French. Everyone thought that this time the Ice Dragon should return, at least it would change its course, and Captain Gao Qingsong and Political Commissar Luo in the command room were also sweating profusely.

But then they saw an anti-aircraft machine gun suddenly erupt with tongues of fire. The reconnaissance plane immediately turned around and fled. Can you pull the bolt of a gun in such cold weather? The machine gun turned out to be effective? All the servicemen were stunned. The reconnaissance planes in the air were also taken by surprise, they learned that there were bazookas on the Ice Dragon, but it was useless to deal with the bazookas of the reconnaissance planes flying at high speed.

As a result, the Ice Dragon actually opened fire on the reconnaissance aircraft in the so-called French territorial waters! It's incredible, it's going to cause diplomatic disputes! Not only was the pilot on the reconnaissance plane depressed, but everyone on the Ice Dragon was stunned.

"Record coordinates, repeat, record coordinates! Contact the Foreign Office by phone, and if the French harass us again, their reconnaissance plane will be accompanied by penguins next time. Su Chen reminded the two people in the command room in a cold tone on the walkie-talkie, this is the high seas, don't be deceived by those French. Gao Qingsong and Political Commissar Luo suddenly realized.

The scientific expedition of the Ice Dragon at sea was an open operation, the route was not determined, and now there were still a hundred nautical miles from the target, and even further from the Crozet Islands, and there was no question of entering the territorial waters of France at all. What the people on board the Ice Dragon didn't know was that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China was also busy at this time, and the reality was that the French embassy protested against the Ice Dragon's attempt to attack a French fishing boat, and then the Ice Dragon illegally intruded into French territorial waters......

Everyone understands what each other is going to do, and now it's just a race against the clock. In fact, the US warships departing from the Gulf of Aden were faster than the Ice Dragon, but they were far away.

When the Ice Dragon approached its destination, in the captain's office, the three of them glanced at each other, and it could be seen from the radar screen that two warships were approaching fifty nautical miles away, and there were countless hovercraft in front of the Ice Dragon, which were obviously dropped by air!

The Ice Dragon is not as fast as the plane! In the confusion and confusion of everyone, the Ice Dragon finally stopped on the sea, saying that it stopped, but in fact, the speed of the ship was still very fast, and it was not the thin ice on the sea surface that affected the Ice Dragon but the monsoon and ocean currents.

The various speedboats on the Ice Dragon have been released, and the Ice Dragon has become a temporary harbor, and then all the stunt professional divers jumped into the sea in near-freezing temperatures. They were stunned when they were told that the black blind man of Malaysia Airlines MH370 might be spotted in the nearby waters, and then they quickly understood the crazy behavior of the Ice Dragon, and jumped off without hesitation.

MH370 has two black boxes, and to be able to get relatively accurate information after being missing for such a long time, Huaxia's agents have worked hard. So now, everyone on the entire Ice Dragon understands the rare actions such as confiscating wireless terminals and cutting off the network.

There has been international debate about the mysterious disappearance of MH370, but the clever Chinese military knew the direction of the target at the first time, and the land corridor was full of China's allies, such as Cambodia, Pakistan, and Central Asia. Don't say where the plane went, even if the Chinese government dropped a toilet, it would be sent back as soon as possible in those places!
