The command cabin is very large, there are many kinds of instruments, and more than a dozen staff members in white uniforms are busy in their respective posts in a tense and orderly manner. Some of them were engrossed in staring at the radar screen, closely watching the surrounding ocean conditions, some were ticking on the keyboard, carefully collecting various data, and some were pointing at the huge nautical charts and discussing the best route for the mail ship.

Captain James's face was grim, he didn't say a word, and walked straight to a huge display screen in the cabin with Xu Wenlong and the others.

When the staff members who were talking around the charts saw it, they hurriedly surrounded the captain.

Captain James came to the monitor, stared at the three pirate ships on the screen for a long time, and muttered to himself, "Where the hell did this pirate come out?" It's incredible, isn't it? Isn't it long since disintegrated and disappeared? How did it come up again? And on such a large scale! Could it be another gang of robbers who have just recently risen? ”

Xu Wenlong was actually equally confused, because according to Chloe's internal information, the murderous pirates in the Pacific Ocean were actually subordinates of Ruan Shaoxiong, the drug lord who had slipped through the net. Later, because of the death of Nguyen Shao Hung, it disappeared and ceased to exist. But why are there so many pirates all of a sudden? Could it be that the remnants of his hands have come together again? It is unlikely, eighty percent is what Captain James said, this should be another group of robbers.

Chen Ke, who was wearing glasses, looked very nervous, and his face looked extremely melancholy and uneasy. He glanced at the pirate ship on the screen, rubbed his hands together and asked Captain James in a flickering manner, "Mr. Captain, are you talking about the murderous pirates in the middle of the Pacific who are desperate and never leave a mouth alive?" If that were the case, it would be terrible! But where did you learn that they had disintegrated and disappeared? Is this news reliable? ”

"It's true!" Captain James glanced at Chen Ke with a complicated gaze, and then said to a staff member beside him in an inquiring tone, "First mate Tony, what do you think those pirates will do next?" Why do they follow us so unhurriedly? Is it scared? ”

The tall first mate Tony shook his head, frowned and replied, "I don't think so!" Judging by the threatening telegrams they have sent us, they must have tried to take possession of our mail ship without a single blow, and then leave as fast as possible with a catastrophe. It's just that they didn't expect that the security equipment on our ship was so advanced, and the firepower was no worse than theirs, so they may still be discussing countermeasures now, and it is estimated that they will attack it soon. ”

When Wen Li heard this, she couldn't help but interject and said, "Since that's the case, then why don't we fire first?" Sink the big ship first, and the remaining two small boats will not be a threat, and they will not be so arrogant, and they may even scare them into scaring and turn and run away, then I will ...... We won't be so scared. ”

Xu Wenlong was shocked, hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull Wen Li aside, sank his face and scolded her softly: "What do you know about a child? Don't talk nonsense here, let's listen to the captain, who knows more about the defense measures and firepower of the mail ship. Otherwise, I'll kick you out, don't forget that your sister Shiqi is staying in the room alone, don't arrange a waiter to be her companion, do you want to be her companion? I don't think it's possible to kill you. ”

Wen Li pouted, drooped her head and hid behind him.

Captain James looked at Wen Li, who looked aggrieved, and grinned.

Seeing this, another staff member immediately leaned over and said to the captain, "I think this little girl's suggestion is good. Preemptively, then preemptively. These pirate ships are small in tonnage and highly mobile, and if they spread out and attack us from three directions, then we will be very passive. While our fighter jets from Hawaii will arrive here soon without being hijacked by them, at least the ship could be heavily damaged, and even cause a lot of casualties, which is the deadliest for the company. ”

Captain James pondered for a while, then turned his gaze to Xu Wenlong, and asked him, "Mr. Xu, you are a person who has served in the army, what do you think of this plan?" ”

"Don't dare to be!" Xu Wenlong waved his hand at Captain James, shook his head and replied modestly, "Although I have served in the army, I have never commanded a battle. However, judging from the current situation, it is really necessary for us to strike first and attack first. If there is luck in sinking or crushing them, that's the best ending. Otherwise, at least we can delay their time and block their attack, and even if they have reinforcements or ambushes, then we will have plenty of time to deal with them. And once the Hawaiian Air Force arrives, then we can get out of the way, and there will be no more threat. ”

"Do you think they still have reinforcements?" Captain James and his staff were taken aback, and Qi Qi looked at Xu Wenlong with worried eyes.

"I'm not sure, but we're at least prepared for that!" Xu Wenlong replied solemnly.

Captain James nodded, turned to a young man at the workbench and shouted, "Correspondent--"

"To--" The headphone-wearing correspondent stood up.

"Check when the fighter jets will arrive here."

"About forty minutes!"

"Good!" Captain James smiled with satisfaction and reached for the walkie-talkie on the table.

"Wait!" Chen Ke, who had been staring at the screen, suddenly turned his head and said to Captain James in a slightly flustered tone, "I think...... I don't think we need to launch a preemptive strike yet......"

"Why?" Xu Wenlong, First Officer Tony and the others were taken aback, and looked at Chen Ke with their eyes.

Captain James frowned, and said to Chen Ke unhappily, "Do you have a different opinion? ”

Chen Ke glanced at everyone nervously, and said with a dry smile in his mouth: "I think...... I feel like we should watch a little longer to further determine their intentions. Because...... Because what if they don't want to attack? Or are you preparing to evacuate? Then we don't have to hurt their lives. The so-called more is better than less, and if they are forced to attack rashly, it may ...... It could be even more troublesome. ”

Wen Li was anxious, jumped out from behind Xu Wenlong, pointed at Chen Ke angrily and said: "Nonsense, their intentions are obvious, and they have already taken the lead in firing cannons, do you want to expect them to be merciful and let us go in such a situation?" I see that you are uneasy and well-intentioned, and you must be ...... It must be ......"

"Wen Li--" Xu Wenlong's face sank, and he scolded her sharply.

When Wen Li heard this, she couldn't help but be frightened, and swallowed back the second half of the words.

Chen Ke shrugged his shoulders and said in a wry voice: "I don't have any bad intentions, let alone the spy she said." I just think ...... I just feel that it is important to save my life, and it is better not to stir up trouble first. Otherwise...... Otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable! ”

As he spoke, he heard Tony's first mate exclaim, "Oh no, the pirates are attacking." Everyone looked at the screen when they heard the sound, and sure enough, it was not. I saw that the big steamer suddenly lowered six motorboats, divided into three attack directions in groups of twos and twos, and chased the cruise ship in a "V" shape. At the same time as the six motorboats were activated, the three pirate ships also picked up, and each of them followed the path of the motorboat.

Captain James did not hesitate any longer, and immediately ordered the controller to increase the horsepower and move forward at full speed, and at the same time ordered Captain Jack to fire on the spot and never let any ship approach the cruise ship.

As soon as the order was given, everyone felt the soles of their feet tremble, and the huge Polaris slowly increased its speed little by little like a big stupid bear, and finally drove away at the extreme speed of the waves. At the same time, the stern cannons began to wield. In the midst of a tom-tom boom, one shell after another burst out of the chamber, with a sharp whistling sound into the distance, one after another fell into the sea and exploded among the pirate ships, booming and stirring up clouds of water mist to the sky.

The moving pirate ship did not care, nor did it fire back, but only followed the motorboat and rushed over. Their intentions were obvious, they just wanted to rely on the advantage of lightness and agility to approach the mail ship, avoid the threat of heavy artillery, and forcibly board the ship to loot.

The command cabin was extremely nervous and quiet, except for the staff who were crackling and tapping on the keyboard, everyone else was quietly staring at the curved screen with a heart, silently cheering for Captain Jack and his party. At this time, Chen Ke also changed as a person, no longer panicked, no longer afraid, standing calmly with his hands crossed, completely detached from himself.

Smoke billowed from gunpowder, cannon roared, large and bulky cruise ships ran desperately, and light pirate ships pursued frantically. The riveting chase is full of enthusiasm and goes all out, and the race against time is desperate, such a scene of 100,000 urgent and burning eyebrows truly confirms the eternal truth that time is money and time is life.

Gradually, the distance between the two sides became shorter and closer, and the cheering figures of the pirates on the ship could almost be clearly seen. The six jet skis, in particular, were faster and more ferocious. And each dinghy was housed by two naked robbers, one in charge of the pilot, and the other apparently a daredevils who carried out the forced boarding. For in addition to a handy carbine slung from his waist, he carried a long roll of rope with a special climbing hook on his shoulder.

Captain James and the first mate and the others frowned, held their breath, stared at the rearview screen for a moment, and everyone had a handful of sweat in their palms. Although Wen Li is a character who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and dares to break into the tiger's den in Longtan, but in the face of such a tense and critical situation, she was also shocked, her heart was beating wildly, holding Xu Wenlong's arm with both hands, and she kept muttering in a trembling voice, "Hit, aim at them and hit them hard!" Don't be soft-hearted......"
