Chapter 287: Voyage at Sea (2)

The Arabian Sea on the second day, after nine o'clock, it is naturally the time to sleep with a mat spread in the ventilation and shade of the sleep, the afternoon is the hottest time to be woken up at about five o'clock to eat, Hu Wenkai is unhappy and is dreaming of Zhou Gong when he is woken up, anyone will be unhappy, and Hu Wenkai's current physical age is only in his early twenties.

Eight hours of sound sleep is enough, and the ship's crew is thankful for six. Seeing his unhappy face, the team quickly explained that the freighter had received a telegram from the Universal Frequency that pirates had hijacked a freighter in the area last night.

The time of the telegram, Hu Wenkai urgently needs to know when it happened, if it is daytime, it will be a bit unexpected. This telegram was not the first to arrive, but it was a British freighter who had encountered pirates in the Arabian Sea and asked for help from the mainland, and the British sent an alert to all the colonies, and our freighter received the telegram at about ten o'clock in the morning.

Hu Wenkai rushed to the chart room as soon as possible, and the captain had already indicated the ship's distress position that it was at the horn of the Red Sea. In the later past, the waters where Yemen and Somalia meet, this area is a den of pirates, who have lived by pirates since ancient times.

It was inferred that the time of the attack was about four o'clock in the morning, and the freighter had been following the passenger ship, but in this sea the passenger ship sped away for some reason, leaving a lone freighter. The specific situation is not too clear, only so much is known, the captain looked at Hu Wenkai.

He had never been on a combat mission at sea and was not at all familiar with this area. He had no idea of being able to do anything and said: "I don't know anything about the affairs of the sea, you should take the idea yourself, and I will contribute to what I should do." ”

Seeing this, the captain could not force him any longer, and looked at the area of the Red Sea and said: "Now the route will enter the Red Sea in the evening at our speed, and this water area is not far from the shore and is easily harassed by pirates, so I suggest that dinner at six o'clock in the evening and be on guard when the Suez Canal is not passed." ”

Hu Wenkai nodded and said: "I will carry out the captain's order, you give me that blocking rifle to come, and I will go to the deck tomorrow and sleep after the Suez Canal." ”

Listening to him say this, everyone still has any opinions, everyone goes to their own posts, and everyone has a whistle around their necks.

Hu Wenkai knew that the freighter was safe before the sun went down, so he went back to the cabin to make a cup of strong tea, leaned the sniper rifle against the table, picked up a beautiful brand cigarette and smoked it greedily.

He wondered if there were no satellites, cell phones, or radars in the world, and if the ship was captured by pirates in this area, who would know. He wondered if Britain and France were in the pirate business, otherwise he couldn't explain how the ship's information could have been leaked.

He laughed at the variety of ways to deal with the Japanese, he could have bribed Yemeni tribes to attack Japanese freighters, he could have provided funds and equipment to exterminate the Japanese in the Arabian Sea.

He cried out with a cigarette in his mouth, "Call the captain, I have something to ask him." ”

The captains of the ships on the route from LΓΌsi Port to Europe were all interns of the Naval Academy, and Hu Wenkai knew this.

"Boss, you called me?" The captain hurriedly walked in in his sea soul shirt.

"Well, you're from that class?"

"Report to the boss, I am from the first ship department."

Hu Wenkai handed over a cigarette and said, "Don't be restrained, sit down and talk." ”

"Let me ask you, do you think these pirates were spontaneous by the aborigines or were there forces behind them?"

"Boss, it's hard to determine, but I think it's still organized, otherwise it wouldn't be so accurate to find the freighter that walked."

"Imagine that I will give you thirty men and ten speedboats, and give you information on whether you can cut off the Japanese freighters in this part of the Red Sea."

"Boss, it's more difficult for me, but there is a person in our class who specializes in researching this, and as the boss said, he said that he can cut off the European route of the Japanese."

"Tell me who it is, the head melon is not ordinarily good."

"The deputy squad leader of our class, Jiang Yi. He spent the whole day studying how to cut off the sea routes of the Japanese, and he proposed two places, one in Malacca and the other in the Red Sea. ”

"I'll write a letter of appointment and a list of weapons allocations right now, and give him the order when you get back, and the order will be carried out immediately." Hu Wenkai said that he unscrewed the pen and wrote down a handwritten order, and allocated Jiang Yi 10 speedboats and 10 machine guns, a number of weapons, 10 pieces of gold, and 4 telegraph machines, and arrived in Yemen in batches with the freighters within five days after receiving the order.

He demanded that Jiang Yi wait for an opportunity to attack Japanese freighters, and valuable European freighters were also attacking, and that a ship refit base must be built in Yemen. The robbed freighter needs to be remodeled at the modification base and returned to Tianfen.

Hu Wenkai thought viciously that in this era, as long as there are no satellites in the sky, who can detect the cargo ships traveling on the sea, he added a sentence after the order, only to attack the Japanese cargo ships returning from Europe.

His consideration is that Japan is transporting raw materials and finished products to Europe, which is of no significance to southern Jiangsu now, and most of the machinery and equipment returned from Europe can just be transported back to Xuzhou and directly put into production.

In the evening, the sun sunset on the sea level like a hanging fireball red dandandan, and the sea surface was a red sea. The clouds in the distance, near sea level, were dyed red.

Hu Wenkai sat on the back deck, watching the clouds rise and fall. As the sky grew crimson and the last light fell into the sea, he threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and stood up.

He needs to intervene in all kinds of small things, and this situation must be eliminated by the end of the year. If he continues like this, he just doesn't have to put it away, and the effect will be discounted. No matter how much one can, he can't go anywhere.

The operatives advised him to go and rest first, and that it should be no problem for them to be on duty for a long time at night. He returned to the cabin and turned on the electric light to continue reading "On Democracy in the United States", the human realm determines everything, if he is not the actual controller of the three provinces and one city, he will really be moved by the author's statement.

The only thing he now appreciates is that all beings are equal, and he thinks that all human beings are equal from birth, and that all external bonuses must be removed by him. Equality of status is a fundamental feature that distinguishes a democratic society from an aristocratic society.

This point has not yet been fully realized in China, and identity equality was only held after the violent revolution adopted in Taizu's time, and it was also short-lived in the nineties that the identity has been completely unequal.

How to stabilize identity equality was a major problem in his later administration, and this was not a problem for him alone, but an insurmountable hurdle faced by the entire ruling group. Sometimes he could not grasp the meaning of the original text, so he had to look through the English and French dictionaries word by word.

Except for the roar of the engine, everything was immersed in silence, and the humid and cool wind of the night made him very pleasant, and the smoke was not too dry and choking in his mouth. The bitter tea water entering his mouth made him inexplicably excited.

His cabin was at the back of the ship, and behind his hold was the cargo hold, and the whole ship's munitions were neatly stacked in the cargo hold. A Turkish arms ship a month, although he hated Kemal in his heart, he was an extreme nationalist. It is not his character to make money or not, and he will not be able to make waves in his Hu Wenkai's world if he goes.

The night was about to pass, according to the old rules, he walked into the kitchen under the urging of the special agents, picked up the rice bowl and picked up the food without knowing the taste, and put the book on the table to eat and read.

He had just eaten half of his meal when the roar of a crane gun sounded on the deck, and he threw down his rice bowl and ran out of the galley, and got into his cabin, grabbed the rifle and bent over to the back deck.

The sea was lit up by the searchlights of the cargo ship, and four small wooden sailing boats staggered in the middle of the sea towards the cargo ship. Hu Wenkai laughed, this thing should be called hitting a stone with an egg.

Heavy machine guns hit the wooden boat, and sawdust was clearly visible. Hu Wenkai raised the rifle and aimed it at the sail through the scope and pulled the trigger, but the first shot missed.

He pulled the bolt of his gun, and the shells fell on the deck with a crisp sound, and he picked up his gun and continued to aim.

"Nima, turn on the lights." In a hurry, he couldn't care about Sven, and casual foul words came out.

A light was shot in mid-air, and the dazzling white light hung in mid-air for a long time before slowly landing.

Pull the trigger, and the sails on the other side of the ship fall with a bang. Hu Wenkai himself took the lead in slapping the face, and he also knew that this shot was 60% lucky.

"The boss is mighty." The operatives were patting their asses on the sidelines.

"You set up another machine gun and fight quickly, don't be targeted by pirates, you must know that we are an arms ship." He was afraid that the team members would become addicted to the war and fight for a long time, and attract all the pirates in this sea area.

The pirate ship had almost no firepower to fight back, probably wanting to get close to the freighter and use the hook to quietly get on board, but he didn't expect to be discovered, and blamed this group of pirates for being unlucky, and they shouldn't have robbed the arms ship.

The ship was almost at a standstill, and according to Hu Wenkai's wishes, all the pirates on these four sailing ships must be wiped out on this night, so as to save extraneous trouble. The bullets of the machine gun can be heard with the naked ear as they hit the sailboat.

"Flare their ship with flares." I don't know who came up with a bad idea in the dark.

A light lit the sails, and the sailboat burned like a giant torch in the sea. Machine gun bullets were spraying a rain of metal bullets upwards like money, and a sailboat was disconnected from the middle, and people were faintly seen jumping into the sea.

The remaining two pirate galleons turned around and fled as soon as they saw that the situation was not good, so that they could have a chance to escape. All the guns on the deck were aimed at the two sailing ships and opened fire, and Hu Wenkai aimed at one of the pirates standing under the sail and pulled the trigger, and saw in the scope that the pirate was shot in the chest and fell down with his hand grasping the cable of the sail.

Unhurriedly, he withdrew the cartridge case, pulled the bolt and loaded it to continue firing. In an instant, the two sailing ships turned into fireballs and burned in the sea.

The cargo ship was on high alert in the Red Sea, and after last night's fierce battle, the whole ship did not dare to relax their vigilance. Hu Wenkai knew that this area of the Red Sea should be under the control of the British Royal Navy, and the chance of pirates being infested was very small, and he did not explain that he returned to the cabin and fell asleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already early in the morning, and the cargo ship was lining up to pass through the Suez Canal.
