Section Chief Abe stood in the cockpit of the Mountain Mist, looking at the cruise ship in front of him that was speeding away, and he sneered in his heart, you are escaping, this vast sea, where do you think you can escape?

It is also infuriating, just half an hour ago, they had already seen the shadow of the ship in front of them, but the speed of the ship did not weaken in the slightest because it was a warship on their side, but it was constantly accelerating to escape from their warship, and it could be seen that the other party must be weak-hearted.

And the other party's boat is still very cunning, and when it escapes, it does not follow a straight line, but goes around in a zigzag route.

This made their Shanwu a headache, and the hot-tempered Takashima Yangji was even more eager to hit it with one shot, and directly sank the other party.

But after all, this is international waters, not Japan's territorial waters, so the warships of their Maritime Self-Defense Force have no law enforcement powers, and if they rashly fire at this time, it will easily cause international disputes.

On the other hand, it is also because they are not American warships and cannot have strong maritime law enforcement powers like the Americans, which makes Takashima Yoji extremely envious of their American counterparts.

If it were their American counterparts who discovered such a suspicious ship, they would really dare to come hard, except for a few other big hooligans of the same level as the United States in the world, and the American warships would not dare to provoke them easily.

The ships of other countries, the Americans simply intercept them if they want to, and inspect them whenever they want, so what do you care about the high seas or not?

It's a pity that the current Japan is not the Japan of World War II, and now they don't even dare to use the name of the navy lightly, and they only dare to call themselves the Maritime Self-Defense Force, which is already very telling.

Not to mention this ship, everyone knows that although it is nominally a ship registered in Panama, in fact, most of the people on board are Japanese, but as Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, they still have no jurisdiction over them.

Let's just say that he dares to fire at Takashima Yang Temple, then if he returns to China, even if his family foundation is hard, the final result will definitely be the end of drinking and resigning.

After all, the relationship between several countries in the waters of Southeast Asia is very tense, although Japan and the Philippines are the younger brothers of the United States, following in the footsteps of the United States, encircling and suppressing China.

However, if a Japanese warship dares to open fire on a foreign ship in these international waters, it will certainly cause an international uproar.

Although the Japanese government has spent a lot of money on international image public relations over the years, leaving a harmless image on many people in Europe and the United States, if they dare to openly open fire on the international high seas, it will certainly remind people of the crimes committed by their ancestors in this generation decades ago.

It may also cause a break with some Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines and damage relations with international allies, which is a crime that Takashima Yoji cannot afford, even if his family background is tough.

So at this time, they can only watch the suspicious ship, hiding from them.

Although the absolute speed of the other party is not as fast as their warship, the captain of the other party is very cunning, and the route he takes is twisted and turned, and it is not easy for them, a warship with a speed advantage, to track.

Moreover, although the other party is a civilian cruise ship, its tonnage is more than 10,000 tons, but the Shanwu destroyer is a small warship with only many tons of the past, and even if it catches up, it cannot rely on the tonnage advantage to force the other party to stop the ship for inspection.

So now, everyone can only play a game of cat and mouse on the high seas, and everyone is competing with patience to see who can't stand it first.

According to the estimation of Takashimayoji, the other party does not look at the tonnage, but such a cruise ship, with a large tonnage, then the fuel consumption must be very high.

Moreover, it was originally a cruise ship designed and renovated as a gambling ship, and such a ship generally has a smaller oil tank, because it carries more food and consumables, and it is more suitable for them than to bring more oil.

So if the other party goes around in circles with them, then the cruise ship will definitely be the one who can't hold it in the end.

As long as the cruise ship is about to run out of fuel, then he has 10,000 ways to force the other party back to Japanese waters, as long as the other party returns to Japanese waters, then then it will be fish on their chopping board, and they can only be slaughtered.

Although the cruise ship is not going in a straight line, the course is very clear, and it is heading south, and if it continues like this, it will only take more than an hour to reach the Philippines.

And what the Shanwu can do is to get ahead of them as quickly as possible and block their path before they are about to enter Philippine territorial waters.

He didn't believe that the ship would really dare to ram their warship at that time, and if that did, as long as the other party dared to approach him, then he would have ten thousand reasons to open fire and sink the other party.

So thinking of this, this Takashima Yoji simply issued an order to let the Sanwu go in a straight line to overtake, and stop the other party's advance and enter the Philippine territorial waters, and stop playing cat and mouse games with the other party.

The other party is going around in circles at sea, so it's up to him to go around in circles, anyway, the more they carry around, the more fuel will be wasted, and the faster they will not be able to hold on.

And what they Shanwu has to do is to keep a certain distance from the other party, not to lose it, and not to let the other party enter the territorial waters of the Philippines, as for China's territorial waters, I believe that this ship will not dare to go.

And the sea area that bends, they don't even think about it, the Mountain Mist has contacted the other companions and asked them to wait on the road in that sea area, once the other party sails to that sea area, the final result will be the same as here, blocked back.

Anyway, if they don't want to run out of dye and end up floating on the sea, then there is only one way, obediently return to Japan's territorial waters, and once they return to Japan's territorial waters, then they will have to be at the mercy of the Mountain Mist.

And the captain and first mate on the cruise ship, as well as Jin Muchen and Nomura Takako, also discovered the purpose of this group of Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Forces, but after understanding the other party's thoughts, they were very happy.

Because the longer it takes to clean up the cabin, the more beneficial it will be for them to clean up the cabin, after all, the battle in the cabin was quite fierce, and so many people died, although Jin Muchen's method was neat, but it was inevitable that there would be blood splatters, and it was still very troublesome to clean up these traces.

In addition, the bullet casings on the ground and the bullet holes in the wall also need to be cleaned, which is a very time-consuming task.

Before, Nomura Takako's subordinates were also killed by those pirates, so cleaning up these traces can only rely on a small number of people.

As for those rich people and their subordinates, then don't count on them, they can't afford to offend those uncles.

Since the other party is not in a hurry to catch up, it will be easy to do, after seeing through the other party's intentions, Jin Muchen simply ordered the captain to float on the sea at the slowest speed, that is, to keep drifting in the direction of the Philippines, anyway, he can't let these guys from the Maritime Self-Defense Force relax their nerves.

Anyway, this is the high seas, and I believe that Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force is not so bold as to dare to ask for boarding and inspection on the high seas, and if they dare to make such a request, Jin Muchen dares to guarantee that the other party will make the headlines of the world's major news websites tomorrow.

When they are cleaned up below, they simply start back to Japan, and even if the other party boards the ship for inspection, they won't be able to find out.

Takashimayoji commanded his Yamaki, and he carefully drove along the boundary line of the Philippine territorial waters, while ensuring that he would not enter the territorial waters of the Philippines, and on the other hand, he had been monitoring the movements of the cruise ship.

When he saw that the cruise ship knew that he couldn't escape, he actually slowed down and slowly approached, and those guys on the ship, actually holding mobile phones and cameras, stood on the deck and shot at them in various ways, the other party's arrogant attitude made Takashima Yoji's stomach almost explode.

Specially, you wait, this is the high seas, I really can't do anything to you, but when you return to Japan's territorial waters, Lao Tzu will have a way to kill you.

Takashima Yoji secretly swore in his heart that once the other party was forced back to Japan's territorial waters, he would definitely find 10,000 ways to toss the other party to death.

The standoff lasted until dawn and lasted until noon, and even attracted the Philippine coast guard to ask what was going on here.

After receiving the report from the Yamaki, the Philippine Maritime Self-Defense Force quickly withdrew back, after all, the relationship between the Philippines and Japan is not bad now, and it is not possible to offend the Japanese for such a thing.

The confrontation between the two ships on the high seas also attracted the attention of the Americans, and even the US military in Japan called to ask if the Yamaki needed support, but finally Takashima Yojira, who felt hurt by his pride, politely refused.

The standoff lasted until after lunch, when the damn cruise ship swaggered around and headed back in the direction of Japan.

The Mountain Mist is like an alert sheepdog, always following the other party carefully, for fear that the other party will play some tricks in the process.

Even if there are passing ships in the sea, the Mountain Mist will be vigilant, for fear that the other party will take this opportunity to escape from them.

They kept an eye on the cruise ship all the way to prevent them from escaping to the crooked seas or the seas of the mainland, and on the other hand, they had to keep an eye on them, so as not to have any contact with the passing oil tankers, because many ships could now buy oil from those passing oil tankers on the high seas.

If the other side gets supplies from which tankers, then the confrontation is likely to continue until the Year of the Monkey. (To be continued.) )
