The worry on Li Dong's face, Su Qiyue naturally saw it.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to say anything to the other party.

Anyway, after rescuing the "Estin" later, there will be time to talk to this deputy.

With Su Qiyue's order, the fire team on the side of the "Coconut City" soon began shooting.

Da-da-da-da!

A shuttle of bullets landed indiscriminately around the first dinghy, splashing in all directions.

Seeing that the combatants of this fleet really dared to shoot, and with such accuracy, the pirates on the ship immediately retreated.

A pirate with a flower turban at the head yelled at the "Estin", as if to intimidate something.

On the side of the escort fleet, he didn't dare to say any nonsense, and directly turned around and left in embarrassment.

Seeing the two small boats evacuate at a very fast speed, Li Dong beside Su Qiyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the command cabin, several staff officers and technicians were a little excited at this time.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, you all have a belly to say.

Su Qiyue also saw everyone's excitement, so he smiled and said, "Staff Officer Huang, let H1 come back." When the Estin approached, send two men over to check with their captain. ”

"Yes!"

The lieutenant, who was called Chief of Staff Huang, answered and immediately sent instructions to the helicopter through communication.

Su Qiyue turned his head and stretched out his hand to Li Dong, and stepped out of the cabin first.

Standing on the deck, looking at the "Estin" that was gradually revealing the lineup in front of him, Su Qiyue's face was very indifferent.

It seems that the completion of the first mission of the escort fleet did not alarm him at all.

Li Dong looked at the indifferent expression of the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but move.

Su Qiyue glanced at him sideways, and saw that there was something wrong with him.

He smiled and said, "Captain Li, is there any question to ask?" ”

Li Dong was stunned for a moment, and then stopped hiding it.

He bowed his head slightly and said, "There are some things that I don't understand...... Director Su, wouldn't it be too risky for you to ask the fire team to fire directly at the pirate's dinghy just now? ”

"If this hurts the other party, I'm afraid it will easily cause a series of reactions!"

The meaning of Li Dong's words, of course, Su Qiyue knew it as soon as he heard it.

He exhaled lightly and said, "I understand Captain Li's worries. ”

"Are you afraid that after the pirates are accidentally injured, they will hold a grudge against us from now on, and then pay attention to our merchant ships in China?"

Li Dong snorted, and said in response: "Yes, Director Su." This possibility cannot be left unguarded. ”

"After all, this is the first time we have carried out the escort mission, and the main thing is to focus on the word 'stability', right?"

Su Qiyue didn't expect Li Dong to bluntly remind himself that he had a little more appreciation for the frankness of this deputy in his heart.

There is no doubt that Li Dong can say such things completely by putting the collective interest first.

His starting point was the interests of the whole of China in the Gulf of Aden, not just the convoy itself.

In fact, what Su Qiyue did just now was also for the same purpose.

At that moment, Su Qiyue quickly explained what he had just instructed.

"Captain Lee, the pirates of the Gulf of Aden and Samali have unpredictable personalities."

"In that case, in fact, neither choice is necessarily right. If you fire a warning gun, you may be worried about the same problems. ”

After a pause, Su Qiyue continued: "But if I don't give the instruction to fire a warning shot, they may think that our Huaxia escort fleet is not tough enough, so that when they encounter it again in the future, they will have to take an inch. ”

"So we have to be clear and clear and let them retreat!"

Listening to Su Qiyue's explanation, Li Dong finally understood something.

He pondered for a moment, and finally nodded gradually.

Seeing that the deputy was almost persuaded by himself, Su Qiyue continued to speak.

"Actually, to put it bluntly, it's a double-edged sword against pirates. There are good and bad sides. ”

"In a situation like this, I think it's necessary to be tough."

"After all, this is the first time that we have come to the Gulf of Aden to carry out an escort mission. If you are too weak, it is not a good thing. ”

Su Qiyue's words are undoubtedly sincere.

In the memory of the previous life, the first batch of escort fleets in China carried out a mission in the Gulf of Aden in front of them, and it was not a smooth ride.

Because of their inexperience, the convoy on the first mission was too merciful to the pirates.

Basically, it only protects the safety of merchant ships, and does not chase pirates too hard.

After being caught, they are quickly released.

When the pirates learned of this situation, they made the pirates of Samali even more aggressively attack the Chinese merchant ships and demand a high ransom.

In such a situation in the previous life, of course Su Qiyue couldn't let it happen again.

Although I don't know if what I did just now will be counterproductive to the pirates.

But at least, he has already made some changes to the operation of the first escort fleet.

Of course, Su Qiyue is not good at sharing these things with Li Dong.

But the reason he said is absolutely justified.

At this moment, Li Dong had been completely persuaded by Su Qiyue.

He nodded again and again: "It makes sense, Director Su thinks about it for the long term." ”

"I've heard of the pirates in the Gulf of Aden bullying the weak and fearing the hard. The toughness we show is really conducive to the continuity of the latecomers. ”

Seeing that this deputy echoed him, Su Qiyue showed a relieved smile.

After getting along these days, he still admires Li Dong as a person.

The Navy Colonel was forty years old and in the prime of life.

There is a tenacious side in his character, and when he needs to make a decision, he will never drag his feet.

In terms of the ability to command operations, it is also fully possessed.

The fact that he was selected as the deputy commander-in-chief of this escort operation is undoubtedly an affirmation of his ability.

With the experience of this escort operation, it is almost a certainty that Li Dong will go further in the future.

When Su Qiyue was secretly thinking about things, a soft voice sounded behind him.

"Report!"

Su Qiyue turned his head and looked, sure enough, it was Tan Xiaolin and Ye Cunxin.

For this junior sister, Su Qiyue still looks at it differently.

At this time, he was also nervous, and he asked with a smile, "Xiaolin, why didn't you go to greet your teammates?" ”

The "teammates" mentioned by Su Qiyue were naturally the 6 people who were sent out to the special operations group A.

Among the six people, except for Xu Sanduo and Lu Shaohong, who were still on guard on the "Estin", the remaining four people had already flown back to the "Coconut City" with the helicopter.

After listening to Su Qiyue's question, Tan Xiaolin said: "Commander Su, I want to go to the 'Estin' to replace the enemy and the enemy, Flying Tiger, you see?" ”
