Chapter 715: South Pacific Giant Shark
Dewey's internship began from then on, and he would report to the Intelligence Analysis Division every Friday to familiarize himself with the work of the Intelligence Analysis Division.
Although the current internship is limited to understanding and does not require business proficiency, it also gave Dewey a deeper understanding of the entire operation of the hidden dragon.
As a member of the Qianlong team in the field, it is undoubtedly the most dangerous and hard, but logistics departments such as intelligence analysis cannot be ignored either, and at least half of the victory or defeat of the Qianlong is based on their support, just like the screws on the machine, any link is indispensable.
Just when Dewey went to the Intelligence Analysis Division for the fourth time to intern, Director Zhang suddenly ran out of the office and shouted: "Quick, China Shipping 931 oil tanker information!" ”
To make Director Zhang so anxious, something must have happened, and everyone took action immediately.
"CNOOC No. 931 oil tanker, owned by CNOOC, 300,000-ton VLCC (giant oil tanker), speed 16 knots, crew 47 ......"
"Seven days ago, it left the port of Alar Bifanoa and entered the western Pacific Ocean through the Panama Canal, and the current satellite positioning has failed, and the maritime satellite communication has failed......"
"The last location information was at 22 o'clock last night, and the inferred location was near Hawaii......"
Intelligence analysts, including Chu Chu, quickly reported one piece of information after another, but Dewey couldn't help, so he walked up to Director Zhang and asked, "Is there an accident?" ”
"Well, there is news from China that the oil tanker is missing, I don't know if it is a shipwreck or other reasons," Director Zhang's face was solemn, "If it is for other reasons, you will go to the battlefield." ”
If Zhonghai 931 is not shipwrecked, then there is only one possibility - it will be hijacked, no matter which country's navy or modern pirates it is, it will be handed over to Qianlong to deal with, and this mission rotation happens to be the Qianlong Fourth Team.
"Hope is not a shipwreck." Dewey said in a deep voice.
Although the hidden dragon is brave, but it can't fight against nature, Zhonghai 931 really had a shipwreck, they have nothing to do, the possibility of survival of the crew is extremely small, if it is a hijacking incident, the hidden dragon can at least save the crew.
Director Zhang shook his head: "The possibility of a shipwreck is very small, it is an oil tanker, if there is a shipwreck, the leaked crude oil has already been discovered, and no relevant reports have been received until now." ”
"You mean hijacked?" Dewey asked.
"It is very likely, I feel that there is a great possibility of piracy, and judging from the last position of Zhonghai 931, it is likely to be a pirate organization." Director Zhang said.
Dewey's brow furrowed slightly.
It wasn't that he was afraid, but that the pirate organization was more difficult to deal with than ordinary pirates.
Since the day humans conquered the sea, pirates have not disappeared, even in the modern age of technological advancement.
When it comes to modern piracy, many people's first reaction is Somali pirates, but in fact Somali pirates are just a group of rabble who are not on the table.
There are three main types of modern pirates.
The first is a small group of pirates represented by the familiar Somali pirates.
They usually consist of 4~10 people, and they drive speedboats to attack ships, and the usual method is to hook the railing or outboard of the ship with hooks, and immediately after boarding the ship, they rob the crew and loot the ship's cargo and money.
This type of piracy is a guerrilla pirate with the aim of looting property, and generally flees the scene quickly after succeeding in it. Most of these pirate attacks occur in inland seas or even near coastlines, and account for the majority of global piracy attacks each year.
The second type is the piracy of organized criminal gangs.
Such pirates often have a detailed plan before plundering at sea, and have a solid base and intelligence from reliable sources, allowing for a cautious and planned attack. They are equipped with a large number of advanced weapons and use modern means of communication to contact criminal groups and even terrorists around the world, and obtain commercial information at any time.
This type of pirate kills crew members and hijacks ships, and is a high-risk type. They often disguise themselves as local law enforcement vessels, force landings under the pretext of routine inspections, or drive speedboats to chase after freighters at high speeds. Some corsair ships act in conjunction and look more like a fleet at sea. In addition to long-range ships at sea, some cargo ships anchored in ports and near shore can also be targeted for such pirate looting.
They usually refurbish the hijacked ship, change the chimney marking, change the ship name, home port, change the factory number, then re-staff the crew, forge the ship's documents, and sail to other ports to sell the cargo and the ship.
The third type is the pirates of separatists or terrorists.
Such pirates are a mixture of members of or manipulated and controlled by a separatist and terrorist organization for the purpose of using looted money to finance terrorist and separatist acts or to carry out terrorist activities as pirates.
The first type of pirates is the easiest to deal with, not only because they are few in number and weak in equipment, but also because they can find their lair, just like the Somali pirates once targeted Chinese sea ships, but after being taught by the hidden dragon to behave a few times, they all became honest.
The remaining two pirates are in trouble, they are well-organized, secretive, and have hidden bases, it is very difficult to find them, and they rarely aim for ransom.
The location of the disappearance of Zhonghai 931 is in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, and it is obviously not a small group of pirates, and the crew is likely to be more than lucky.
At this moment, Chu Chu suddenly shouted: "An abnormality was found, before the Zhonghai 931 location disappeared, there was a ship of unknown origin nearby!" ”
Director Zhang was in high spirits and hurriedly ran away, "What ship?" ”
"Judging from the satellite image, it should be an Adelaide-class missile frigate, judging from its location, it should belong to the Australian Navy, but Melbourne and Newcastle are both in port, so they should belong to other countries or organizations." Chu Chu said.
The Adelaide-class missile frigate was designed in the 70s of the last century, when only six were produced in Australia, and there are still two in service at present, namely the Melbourne and Newcastle mentioned by Chu Chu.
By today's standards, the Adelaide class has long been very backward, but it was very popular in the international military market at that time, and was authorized to be produced by many countries and regions in the form of imported production lines.
In other words, this Adelaide-class is not 100% an Australian warship.
But no matter which country's navy it belongs to, it does not dare to die to hijack the Huaxia oil tanker, even Australia is only worthy of following the United States and pretending to be a tiger, really let them hijack the Huaxia oil tanker alone, and they will not have a hundred guts to borrow him.
Then the biggest possibility is that this Adelaide-class does not belong to any navy, but to a pirate organization.
Director Zhang immediately ordered: "Check it out immediately, which pirate organization has the Adelaide class!" ”
Chu Chu and the others immediately searched for it, and a few minutes later, someone shouted: "I found out, the South Pacific Ocean Giant Shark has an Adelaide-class, and the location of the base is unknown." ”
"Sort out his information immediately, and I'll report to the captain now." Director Zhang hurriedly walked out, stopped at the door, turned around and shouted, "Xian'er, don't be here, come with me." ”
Dewey couldn't help here, and the four of them were going to carry out the task anyway, so they immediately followed.
The two came to Jin Daya's office, knocked on the door and entered, Director Zhang reported: "Captain, now the preliminary judgment is that the pirate organization South Pacific Giant Shark hijacked Zhonghai 931, and now we can't know where their base is, and the relevant information will be sorted out soon." ”
"Mobilize all your forces at once to find the base of the giant shark in the South Pacific." Jin Daya said.
"Yes!" Director Zhang responded.
Dewey was about to leave with him, but was stopped by Jin Daya: "Dewey, you go back now and prepare to leave, and the specific information will be sent to you as soon as it is sorted out." ”
"Okay Captain."
When Dewey left the base headquarters, he immediately contacted the second mule and asked him to lead the team back quickly.
Half an hour later, the four teams of Qianlong returned to the team, and everyone asked what happened when they entered the door.
The situation is still unclear, and Dewey only gave a general introduction, and everyone is aware of the difficulty of this operation.
If it was really the South Pacific giant shark that hijacked Zhonghai 931, now the possibility of the crew being killed is extremely high, and it is difficult to save everyone, and all the Qianlong Team can do is to avenge them.
However, as a pirate organization that can be listed in the Hidden Dragon's intelligence system, the base must be very secretive, even if the Hidden Dragon's intelligence system can find the base of the South Pacific Giant Shark, it will definitely be easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is located in the depths of the ocean, unless there is naval support, it is difficult to attack with the power of the Hidden Dragon.
"This plan of action can't be done, unless the navy is mobilized, but if the navy is dispatched, we won't be needed." The second mule said.
"That's right, although we claim to be able to go to the moon for nine days and catch turtles in the five oceans, but this is really not our specialty, we can't swim all the way to the base of the giant shark in the South Pacific in a diving suit, right?" The mule sighed as well.
Dewey nodded approvingly and said, "When you didn't come back, I was always thinking about a battle plan, but I really couldn't think of any good way. But if we are asked to carry out the mission, these problems will definitely be solved by the base, and what we have to do now is how we should act, assuming that there are ships to transport us over. ”
"Do you have any details of their base?" Wei Laoshi asked.
"No, there is nothing now, we can only make a plan first, and then adjust it according to the specific situation." Dewey replied.
"In this case, you study it first, and I'll see if I can find the Adelaide class, and let's make preparations." Wei Laoshi took out his laptop, called up the satellite map and began to search.
This was also a good idea, and Dewey left it up to him to take the others to study the battle plan.
As soon as the basic plan was studied, Jin Daya called in.
