Chapter 707: An Unexpected Meeting
The subtropical storm raged over the Caribbean Sea for three days, and on the fourth day it finally left and continued towards the east coast of North America.
Although the wind and waves on the sea were still very strong, Zhang Cheng, who was short of time, could not manage this small difficulty, and directly ordered to leave the port again and move towards the designated sea area.
This time, however, Yelena did not accompany her, but stayed alone in San Juan to discuss the price of the hotel with a wealthy Latino.
When this is done, she also needs to fly to Peru, the birthplace of Inca civilization, to find a young girl who meets the requirements, so she gives the command of the combat members to an Eastern European strong man named Jager.
The Chinese New Year's Eve, a former Soviet veteran who served in Lithuania, has participated in many secret KGB operations and has extensive combat and command experience.
But unfortunately, with the drastic changes in Eastern Europe and the collapse of the Soviet Union, one of the two poles of the world, the three Baltic states declared their independence and embraced NATO with open arms, becoming a member of the capitalist world, and setting off a fanatical rejection of the physique and personnel of the Soviet era at home.
It can be said that everyone who worked for the Soviet Union was subjected to a near-ruthless purge, and even if they were lucky enough to escape, they faced the miserable situation of starving and freezing without finding a job.
Ordinary people are still like this, and Jagg, who worked for the KGB, can naturally be imagined.
In order to survive, he even had to disguise himself as a homeless man and compete with the wild dogs on the street for food, and his wife had to rely on selling her body in exchange for money in order to support her children, so as to maintain a minimum level of living security.
As a certain Russian president said in the future, the collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the twentieth century.
Those who have not experienced it firsthand can never imagine how difficult it must be for the people at the bottom of a huge empire to collapse, even after ten or twenty years later.
Because of this, Leonid was able to wave his arms and immediately recruit a large number of talents from the corpses of the Soviet Union.
Looking at a small ship approaching on the rough sea, Jag took a deep breath and ordered his men in an extremely serious tone, "Go! Inform the boss that a ship of unknown origin wants to approach us." In addition, let the helicopter immediately take to the air and be combat-ready. Remember, don't mess up, this is my first time as a commander in the Order. ”
"Don't worry! With our weapons and equipment, even if we encounter pirates, we don't have to be afraid, and we can solve the battle in five minutes at most. The latter shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.
"Don't be careless! The boss is not an ordinary person, so his enemies are not too ordinary, so you better be mentally prepared. Jag reminded in a low voice.
"Understood! Nobody wants to die, although that pension is really tempting. ”
The man in the tactical bulletproof vest then made a joke and quickly radioed the order before running into the yacht's captain's cabin.
He didn't say a word of nonsense at all, and directly gave a military salute and said loudly: "Report! We found a small boat of unknown origin approaching not far away!"
"Is the boat a pirate?" Zhang Cheng put down some of the frescoes he had deciphered in his hand and raised his head to show a hint of surprise.
Although piracy was at its most prevalent in the Atlantic Ocean a century or two ago, the number of pirates in these waters has plummeted since the end of World War II and the United States has formally established its supremacy at sea, and it is now rare to hear of ships being attacked by pirates.
"Not sure! But judging from the appearance, the other party's ship is not fast, and it has not been modified and reinforced, so it is unlikely that it is a pirate. And we also observed some damage to the hull structure, as if it had been ravaged by a storm a few days ago. The man gave the answer in English.
Hearing that it was unlikely, Zhang Cheng suddenly lost most of his interest, and continued to ask, "Did they communicate by radio?"
As we all know, almost all ships have corresponding radio equipment, and if one ship approaches another, it must indicate its intention by radio, otherwise it will definitely be suspected of not having a good heart, which will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"No! Personally, I think their radios are 80% broken, so they want to call us for help. Do you want to let them come over, or do you just let them go by helicopter?"
"Hmm...... Let them come. If you really meet a fool with bad intentions, you can take the opportunity to have some fun, right?" Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and a malicious smile quickly appeared on his face.
"Hey, hey, you're right! I'm starting to expect these guys to be a bunch of pirates with a lot of brains. ”
With that, the heavily armed man turned around and left the captain's room, standing on the deck to contact the helicopter that had taken off.
It was about seven or eight minutes before a small, scarred boat slowly approached the yacht.
Of course, this small is only a reference to a luxury yacht with a length of more than 200 meters.
In fact, it was a research ship about 60 meters long, with a lot of interesting equipment on it, and about 12 crew members.
These guys obviously experienced the previous tropical storm, so they looked very embarrassed, and they didn't know how long they had been bathed, and they emitted a pungent sour smell.
"Who are you?" said Jager, the commander, who jumped onto the deck first, and asked loudly in a not very friendly tone.
At the same time, the helicopters in the sky and the fighters on the yachts were in good positions, aiming at the unlucky people on the deck who looked like refugees.
"Oh-God! don't ...... We're just a group of academics and staff who make short documentaries on the theme of protecting marine life. A young girl in a bikini hurriedly raised her hands and replied loudly.
In front of the muzzle of the black hole, not many people can remain calm.
What's more, the people in black combat uniforms in front of them are obviously quite professional, maybe they are the special operations team of a certain country's government.
"Shoot a short documentary?!" Jaeg subconsciously glanced at the equipment placed in the cabin, the wariness in his eyes dropped slightly, and then he asked, "Then why are you close to us?"
"Please, there was a problem with our ship's radio equipment, and we didn't receive a storm warning. Later, the location and fresh water equipment in the storm also broke down, so I had to call for help from you. The girl explained helplessly.
Just when Jag wanted to send someone to search for whether these guys who claimed to be victims were hiding any dangerous items such as weapons, he suddenly heard Zhang Cheng's voice in his ears: "Let them come up, I know a few of them." ”
"Acquaintance?" said Jager, visibly fluctuating.
"Yes, do you see the Asian man in his mid-fifties in the crowd? He's my titular father......
