Bring the footage from the helicopter to me. ”

After seeing the helicopter take off through the surveillance at the stern of the ship, Chen Ming commanded as he walked towards his position.

On the other side, Yang Rui and others, who had been ordered to go forward to identify and drive away, were sitting on helicopters and quickly heading in the direction of the speedboat. While the helicopter was flying, Yang Rui took the telescope, and the person was outside the hatch, looking into the distance.

"Report to the captain of the ship, the personnel on the unknown ship are not carrying weapons for the time being, and there is no threat to the route for the time being. But I still think they're pirates! ”

"It's because of the speedboat, right?"

The picture that Yang Rui can see, Chen Ming can also see. Even through the image pod attached to the helicopter with a high-magnification lens projected on the computer in front of Chen Ming, the picture was clearer than Yang Rui's.

"Yes! No fisherman would choose to go out fishing in a speedboat. ”

"Agree with your judgment and carry out the eviction procedure."

Indeed, as Yang Rui said. Fishermen naturally pursue the natural pursuit of being able to catch more fish on a trip to the sea, so that they can make money. And the speedboat, not to mention the burning of oil, the loading capacity is still limited. The ability to resist wind and waves is also not comparable to that of a real fishing boat, and there are no advantages other than speed advantages.

On the contrary, fishermen have low requirements for speed. In pursuit of high speed and high maneuverability, only warships and corsairs, which are aimed at fighting, will pay more attention to speed and maneuverability.

"This is the normal route of the Huaxia Navy escort formation registered by the United Nations, please get out of the way. Repeat! ”

The English version was played twice, and after seeing that the people on the speedboat were indifferent, Yang Rui switched to French and played it two more times. After the negligence of the first escort, from the second batch of escort formations, the voice versions of most of the countries have been recorded in advance.

And it worked. Through the images transmitted from the pod, Chen Ming saw that the people on the speedboat exchanged heads and ears for a while, then quickly started the engine and turned around to leave.

"That's good, let's go back."

Seeing the speedboat leave, he waited for a while, and after confirming that they had no signs of turning around and returning, Chen Ming spoke.

"The report states that the suspected pirate vessel has been removed. The 575 ship is slowing down and returning to its position, please pay attention to your respective channels to avoid collisions. ”

"Well, it's a bit boring. Old Chen, I suspect that they are here to fight the front station, similar to scouts. ”

As soon as Chen Ming's voice fell, Yang Rui said half complaining, half reminding.

"As the saying goes, a dog can't change its. Since we are pirates, it is impossible not to fight the idea of merchant ships, otherwise why do we have to come all the way here? ”

"Let's be calm. Not firing the first shot has always been the principle of our army, and the opponent's weapons are not showing up now, is it possible that you can really go up and break through? ”

"Hey, that's what I said, just complaining."

Yang Rui heard Chen Ming's rather serious words, and said with a little crying and laughing.

Hearing that the air in the channel was suddenly quiet, Chen Ming also didn't go to BB anymore. While waiting for the helicopter to return, Chen Ming thought about it and made a phone call to the editor.

Report yourself and Yang Rui's speculation that these ships are just sentinels. It is hoped that the attention of the editor will be aroused, and during this time, some vigilance will be strengthened. The other is to apply for some supplies.

This is not a family, I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are. The whole ship is up and down, 190 mouths. It is calculated according to the minimum consumption of 1.5 litres of fresh water and 1,700 kcal per person per day. The average daily weight of food and fresh water consumed on the ship is about 665 kilograms, and the real consumption figure is only higher than this.

Although in the escort mission, it is not impossible to dock at the port to replenish. However, there are no suitable ports near Somalia to supply the formations, and the most recent suitable port is in the port of Djibouti.

The long distance means that the replenishment will take a long time, which will delay the escort arrangement. Therefore, controlling the consumption on the ship is also a science. At least, Chen Ming didn't dare to shout casually for extra food like before.

In the face of the supply application of the 575 ship, the commander did not refuse. After all, calculating the time, the living materials of the 575 ship have been almost consumed. It's just that now is not the time to start replenishing, and it will drag on until the evening, when the sun sets.

Facing the afterglow of the setting sun, Chen Ming commanded the 575 ship to slowly lean on the side of the comprehensive supply ship and began to replenish.

Naturally, logistics colleagues are in charge of the supply work. Chen Ming, who was temporarily empty, slowly walked out of the war room, stood on the bridge and took out a cigarette while watching the busy figures of the officers and soldiers on the deck. Looking at the scene in front of me with satisfaction, the background is blue, the sunset is red, and the busy officers and soldiers are the main body of the picture.

The replenishment work was carried out for about two hours. Although it is not necessary for soldiers to transport from the supply ship to the 575 ship, it is not an easy task to carry dozens of tons of materials from the deck to the warehouse.

Chen Ming stood on the bridge and naturally couldn't patronize and smoke, and after smoking a cigarette, he took out the supply list that was passed over by his fingers. While watching the soldiers carry the supplies, they checked the list from a distance to count and check the quantity and type of materials in storage.

Looking at the number of supplies on the list, Chen Ming silently counted the number of days available for consumption, and nodded with satisfaction. What Chen Ming never expected was that just two days after the supply was completed, he once again commanded the warship to get on the supply ship.

"Yo, Captain Chen is here again?"

"Alright, don't be poor. Fresh water, food, medical and epidemic prevention supplies, these three pieces, can be loaded. ”

Chen Ming heard the ridicule of the captain of the supply ship next door, and couldn't help but roar angrily.

Time went back to an hour ago, Chen Ming, who was planning to take a nap in the captain's room, was suddenly awakened by the ringing of the phone on the table. After hearing the reminder of the communicator, he hurried to the war room.

"Comrades, just received the latest news. Not far from our side, there was a military coup in the Republic of Ivia, and the rebels united with terrorist groups and went on a very ferocious offensive. ”

Seeing Chen Ming's avatar appear on the screen of the video conference, the formation commander spoke.

"By the time of the meeting, the line of fire was approaching the port. At present, more than 500 of our compatriots are still stranded in Evia. Pursuant to the request of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Headquarters, I announce below. ”

"With immediate effect, escort missions in the Gulf of Aden have been suspended. Captain Chen and Captain Liu, after the meeting was dismissed, they immediately replenished the supplies, and then went to the Republic of Evia to carry out the emergency evacuation mission. ”

"Captain Chen, your ship is heading to the port of Aden; Captain Liu, you go to Hodeida Port. After we go to the port of Djibouti with the supply ship to resupply, we will immediately go to your aid. ”

"Time is of the essence, and the information will be sent to you later. Now, adjournment! ”
