Chapter 906: Menacing
Jin Muchen had dealt with pirates, and after that escape, he also studied the habits of modern pirates, and this research really gained a lot.
Don't look at the fact that it has now entered the 21st century, it seems that the world is peaceful, but in fact, the ocean of modern society is still not peaceful, and it can even be said that there are many pirates.
At present, there are pirates in almost every sea area in the world's oceans, but the most rampant activities of pirates are mainly concentrated in Africa, especially in the Middle East at the junction of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean, and the second most serious is the Madagascar sea in Africa.
The pirates in those two seas are basically the bitter sufferers of African countries near the ocean, they are usually fishermen, and when life is really uncovered, they will turn into pirates and go to the sea to rob past merchants and oil tankers.
Of course, most of the pirate ships they drive are converted from fishing boats that they make a living from, most of the conditions are not good, the hull is not very large, and generally a hundred tons are already big ships, not to mention the modification of the engine, the black uncles in Africa, the understanding of mechanical modification and manufacturing is basically zero.
The third area where piracy is rampant is Malacca, the Indonesian archipelago, and the waters south of the Philippines.
Although in the past ten years, pirates have been vigorously cleaned up by the United States and several local countries, but after all, this industry is quick to make money, and many pirates have been reduced to zero.
When the navies of various countries come to sweep them, they will hide on desert islands in the deep sea, or simply go ashore and become 'good citizens', but once this limelight has passed, they will continue to return to the sea to earn a living.
And when they don't have much business, they will also do some smuggling business, which is why they have high requirements for the modification of ships.
In addition, their recent business model is also changing, from the original hijacking of ships, to the current robbery of luxury yachts, hostage-taking, so there are more times when those luxury yachts soar, which makes these pirates have particularly high requirements for ship modification.
As far as Jin Muchen knows, the pirate ship driven by the pirates in that area of the South Seas, although the volume is not very large, and the appearance looks very shabby, but the speed after the biao is very high, ordinary can reach more than fifty knots, if there are higher requirements for themselves, then it can easily make the speed exceed sixty knots per hour.
And Ma Laosi, who was killed by him before, is a pirate from Nanyang, and looking at his usual livelihood, this guy must also be a pirate who has very high requirements for himself, so if it is his backhand, then the speed of that ship must be at least 60 knots or more.
It is absolutely impossible for a ship with more than sixty knots to exceed a thousand tons, and it is even difficult to exceed a hundred tons, so thinking of this, Jin Muchen also ruled out the possibility that the ship that was approaching them at high speed was a pirate ship.
However, since it is not a pirate ship, it must be a warship, and it is coming from the northeast, so it can only be a warship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force.
The sea area where they are now is located is a very wonderful position between Japan's territorial waters, the territorial waters of the Philippines, and China's territorial waters.
Although this location is on the high seas, there are not many warships that usually come here, and Philippine warships do not come here at all because they are afraid of friction with the Chinese Navy.
For this reason, Japanese warships rarely come to this area in normal times, but Chinese warships come back every once in a while to patrol here, but they usually come from the west, and rarely come from the northeast, so this warship can only be a warship of the Self-Defense Forces.
But the warships of the Self-Defense Forces, what are they doing here at this time?
Jin Muchen couldn't figure it out, so he and Takako Nomura followed behind the second officer and went straight to the cockpit, he had to look at the radar screen in person to determine the purpose of the Maritime Self-Defense Force warship rushing towards them.
As for Jesse and Helen, Takako Nomura arranged for another attendant to send the two of them upstairs.
Jin Muchen and Nomura Takako, followed the second officer, and walked quickly to the cockpit, at this time the atmosphere in the cockpit was very solemn, the first mate and the captain were standing in front of the steering gear, and the other was in the electronic cabin on the right hand side of the cockpit, staring at the echo on the radar screen.
The expressions on the faces of each member of the cockpit were extremely heavy, which was probably related to the fact that they had been hijacked by pirates before.
When Ma Laosi robbed the ship before, considering that these crew members were needed to overtake the ship, he didn't hurt them, but he also tied them hand and foot, sealed their mouths, and locked them in a small cabin.
Although they didn't suffer any personal injuries, these people were still frightened, after all, everyone went to sea to drive a boat, that is, they ate a mouthful of food, and they lost their lives.
Although everyone was rescued afterwards, because the auction on the ship was also illegal, they could not call the police, which made everyone even more worried and afraid, and now they saw another boat on the radar screen, which was speeding towards them, and of course they were even more afraid.
At this time, almost everyone was waiting for the captain's order, whether to escape, or to turn around and meet the direction of the warship, everyone was waiting for the captain's decision.
Nomura took Jin Muchen to follow the second mate, and went directly into the electronic cabin, only to see the captain standing in front of the electronic screen of the radar, carefully checking the echo of the radar, and seeing Nomura coming in, he turned around and nodded at her, after all, Nomura is his big boss.
"How? How far away is the other party from us, and have you judged the specific identity of the other party? Have you tried to make radio contact with the other party? ”
Nomura asked, and the captain turned his head to look at the electronic screen again, and then turned to Nomura and said, "Miss Nomura, the speed of this ship should be about forty knots, and it is currently about thirty nautical miles away from us, and according to my judgment, the other party should be a fast destroyer of the Self-Defense Forces." Our speed is now only eight knots, and if we continue to drive like this, it will not take us more than an hour for the opponent to catch up with us. We also tried to make radio contact with the other party, but they never got us back. ”
The bearded captain's answer made Nomura's brows twist into a Sichuan character.
Now the situation is very clear, a warship of the Maritime Self-Defense Force is frantically rushing towards them, and the reason is unknown, but anyone with a little brain can detect that this ship is not good.
Nomura has never encountered such a situation, she has dealt with a lot of police, but she has really never dealt with soldiers, could it be that these guys are for those people from the Hetian family to seek revenge on themselves?
Most of the members of the Gata family are retired members of the Self-Defense Forces, and this is the only member of the Self-Defense Forces that Nomura has dealt with so far.
But if you think about it again, it won't be?
She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't know how to deal with such a scene, so she could only turn her head and ask Jin Muchen for help at this time, and at this time Jin Muchen was touching her chin.
"Let your men hurry to the cabin below, clean up the corpses of those pirates, throw them all into the sea, wash away all the blood, clean up all those bullets, bullet casings and everything, and don't miss anything. The captain immediately increased the speed of the ship to the fastest speed, and then here we were, going around in circles with these Self-Defense Force masters, there are a lot of islands and reefs around here, I think you should know how to do it, right? Be sure to give us more time, preferably enough for us to clean up underneath. ”
Jin Muchen didn't really understand what the Self-Defense Force ship was chasing them for at this time, but he could also know that the other party must have come with bad intentions.
If you are caught up by the other party, there is almost an 80 percent chance that the other party will board the ship for inspection, and if you let the other party come on the ship and see that the cabin below is full of dead people, then it will be a big trouble.
Everyone has to be escorted back and handed over to the police for careful interrogation, even if they can explain that they have encountered pirates, but the pirates who don't like to appear here very much, why did they come to rob your ship?
Looking at so many beauties and rich people, then things are difficult to do, even if those rich people can get out, but what about Nomura and Nagashima?
So at this time, for Jin Muchen, the most important task is to quickly buy some time for Nomura and them, so that they can clean the boat, even if the other party boards the ship for inspection, the other party can't say anything, which is the most important thing.
After all, if they are targeted by the warships of the Self-Defense Forces, it is almost impossible to get out of the situation based on the performance of their ship, so what they can do now is to delay as much time as possible and then clean up the scene.
"Don't worry, sir, I've run many times in the waters of this area, so no one is more familiar than me."
The bearded captain, although he didn't know Jin Muchen's identity, he also knew that he was a distinguished guest of Nomura, and his words must be followed, and he was also very aware of the consequences of being caught by the navy, so he didn't need to think about it at all, so he agreed to Jin Muchen's request.
The captain quickly gave the order, so that the speed of the cruise ship added, although this ship was previously civilian level, but after Nomura took over, the ship was also modified, and the maximum speed can reach more than 30 knots, compared with the warship, there is still a big gap, but after a period of circumference, it is still possible.
At this time, Nomura immediately began to call his subordinates below, asking them to quickly start cleaning up the scene, the scene of Jin Muchen's previous battle with the pirates was very chaotic, and that kind of scene must not be seen by anyone on the warship. (To be continued.) )
