Chapter 458: Chao Nam
While most of the people on the Sacramento-class integrated supply ship, numbered "E4", took action to prepare for a possible attack, some of them still chose to stay in the spacious dining room and stand by, and the vast majority of them belonged to the faction led by Wei Xun.
"Turning on military radar in other countries' waters will cause major diplomatic disputes, so it's better for us not to get involved." Wei Xun said to the people who were stranded in the restaurant.
"But what if we do cross over? It is simply impossible for those people to operate the radar in a short period of time by reading the instruction manual, and if nothing else, the instruction manual of the military radar is at least five or six centimeters thick. A guy in the restaurant said.
"How do you know that the instruction manual for a military radar is so thick?" Another man standing next to him asked.
"I'm working in the tower of the airport, and the instruction manuals for our radars for guiding civil aircraft are so thick, do you guess the military radars will be thinner than the ones we use?" The man asked rhetorically.
"So, you're going to use the ship's fire control radar?" Someone asked.
"Theoretically, I should be able to operate that fire control radar with an instruction manual, but the speed of operation is not as fast as that of a professional." The man replied.
"It's good to be able to operate, didn't the guy named Su Yan just say it, what he saw was a very old plane, that is to say, even if we have crossed, there is no fast plane in this era, you have a lot of early warning time to deal with the plane flying towards us." Someone said.
It seems that these people choose to stay in the restaurant and do not completely deny Su Yan's point of view, there are still some people who are in a wait-and-see state, they are not only worried that this is a large-scale prank, but also afraid that this ship has really traveled to the war zone in another time and space.
A dull burst of machine guns frightened everyone in the restaurant to hold their breath, and they all stopped discussing in unison. What's going on? Didn't the guys who looked at the instruction manual and operate the radar finally understand those things, did a plane approach our ship? Those who have little military common sense suddenly have such a question in their heads.
Although those who operate the radar are not even rookies, the air search radar equipped on this "Sacramento" class comprehensive supply ship is a serious military cargo, once an aircraft enters its search range, it will automatically alarm, as long as the radar is activated, those who do not have non-stealth aircraft are impossible to approach the E4 ship without warning, and only military blindness will give birth to only doubts.
"Quick, quick, blast fire to suppress those boats!" Chang Kun shouted to the other people who were standing on the side of the ship as guards.
Just now, Chang Kun noticed that several small boats powered by human oars were quietly approaching the E4 ship, the people on the dinghy were short and dark-skinned, and they were holding ancient weapons like flintlock pistols.
As a live-action CS game enthusiast, Chang Kun has a little bit of knowledge about weapon operation. Based on the footage of the M2 heavy machine gun in previous games, he pulled the bolt and pressed the safety to shoot at the boats that tried to approach the E4 ship. Well, it was indeed a random fire, although the M2 heavy machine gun was fixed on the shelf on the side of the ship, but Chang Kun did not control the M2 muzzle in a burst state well, and the bullet distribution was very touching.
Although Chang Kun's work in his hands is unsightly, but his mind is very clear, there are no other light weapons on the E4 ship except for the 4 M2 heavy machine guns fixed on the side of the ship, once these black dwarfs with flintlock pistols come over, do the keyboard warriors on the ship have to rely on saliva to fight them? They must be prevented from boarding!
"Don't shoot indiscriminately, you're legally responsible for doing this, they may just be curious natives in the neighborhood." Wei Xun, who rushed to the deck when he heard the gunshots, said.
"Shoot! Can't let them get close, they're pirates! Su Yan gave orders over the radio to the people who were on guard duty on the side of the ship.
Su Yan, who had spent a month in Phuket, still knew a little bit about the local history, and he knew that the black dwarfs who were rowing small boats trying to get close to the E4 ship were indeed local natives, and they were also pirates active in the Strait of Malacca!
Known as the "Chao Nam" or "Gypsies of the Sea", these black dwarfs would mine a variety of shellfish and other resources in one sea or bay until the resources of the area were exhausted, and then all migrated to other bays. After the various resources and ecological environment of the former bay are restored, they will migrate back again to continue this cycle.
But after the Age of Discovery, the Strait of Malacca became a thriving commercial route, and the Chao Nam saw the looting of passing ships as a means of making a living, and they saw the merchant ships loaded with large quantities of supplies as the shellfish and other resources in the bay that they could "gather".
Apparently, the E4 ship that had been anchored in the waters of Phuket was treated by these Chao Nam as a stranded merchant ship. They found that the huge ship was different from the armed merchant ships that had made them suffer so much, it had no guns on the side of the ship, and it did not have enough crew to serve as guards, so the Chao Nam rowed in small boats to wait for the huge ship to be sacked.
Bang, bang, bang, before the other guards could operate the other 3 M2 heavy machine guns, Chao Nam in the dinghy began to shoot at the crew of the E4 with his flintlock pistol.
"Those people are Chao Nam! A barbaric indigenous race that has become extinct in modern society! Su Yan continued to shout over the radio channel.
Now the people standing on the side of the ship finally no longer care about the legal responsibility of Wei Xun shouting, the keyboard warrior is a little unreliable, but it doesn't mean that their IQ is in arrears, who can not know the consequences if they are boarded by pirates!?
Da-da, thanks to the efforts of some first-person shooter enthusiasts, the other three M2 heavy machine guns are finally audible. Well, judging from the level of operation of the keyboard warriors, it is not an exaggeration to describe their round of strafing by listening to the sound. In fact, Su Yan thinks that if they can hold down the head of the gun without hurting their own people, it can be regarded as a manifestation of the steamed bun god and Buddha, is it possible that you still want to make requirements for shooting accuracy?
"Brothers, shoot! Dot and shoot! When the bullets are gone, which of you will change the ammunition? Chang Kun is worthy of being a real CS lover, and he still retains a little bit of sanity in the chaotic suddenness.
! No matter how rough the embryos in the engine room are, a ship with a displacement of more than 50,000 tons has actually fallen to the point of being bullied by pirates rowing small boats, we have to be the most delicious traversers in this space, Su Yan complained in his heart.
