Chapter 142: Strange Raid (I)
Disgusted by the stinking crew members leaning against the boat, Clint spat hard into the blackened waters before turning his gaze to the lightweight scanning radar resting beside him......
In order to block every exit from Tawi, in addition to the necessary personnel to defend the safe house, Madison had to split his men into several monitoring groups, keeping an eye on the new lackeys who had received the benefits for his own drive, and even gifted some relatively advanced weaponry to the armed forces with only simple individual weapons. ◢ With *Dream * Small ◢.1a Especially at sea, which is the easiest escape path, Klinder, as a technical sergeant, carried a more powerful scanning radar to enhance the reliability of the entire maritime blockade network.
Naturally, Clinder, who has the skills of a professional soldier, completely disdains the former third-rate pirates who get drunk every day. Especially after boarding the pirate mothership, the disgust that comes from this close encounter is even stronger.
Listening to the dull noise coming from the pirate mothership's engines, Clint couldn't help but mutter, "Wouldn't these damn guys even want to use a little more oil?" The propeller shaft sounds like it's about to burn out......"
As if listening to Clinde's self-talk, Chazo, whose upper body and eyes were also burned red by sea water and alcohol, staggered to Clinde's side, and smiled at Clint and showed a mouthful of rotten teeth that were corroded by drugs: "Oh...... Don't worry about my ship! In the sea near Tawi, the boat is as strong as a cow! Especially after he released the calves in the stern, no one could escape the calves......"
Sideways to avoid the foul smell that emanated from Chazo's mouth, Clinder turned to the pirates who were refueling on the light speedboat at the stern......
As Chazzo said, medium-sized ships used as pirate carriers do not pursue high speed, but rather carry capacity, stability, and load as the primary pursuit. On weekdays, when cruising slowly on the sea, it is indeed like a leisurely cow strolling through the pasture. But once a prey of sufficient value is seen in the radar range, the five light speedboats that are released from the tail of the pirate mothership will pounce viciously on the slow-moving merchant ships like hunting wolves.
Without the need for more heavy firepower to support the attack, the light speedboats scattered around the huge merchant ships can hang the rope ladder linked to the anchor hook to the merchant ship's gang as quickly as possible, like a vicious wolf piercing its sharp teeth into the body of its prey.
And then that's where the revelry of the multi-boarding pirates begins—occupying the captain's quarters, occupying the engine room and planting explosives, capturing and imprisoning all the crew, and blackmailing the shipping company. When you're lucky, the ransom you can get from a single raid is enough to get those foul-smelling pirates ashore and go to another strange country to change their faces and live a decent life.
As the node of the warning network of the sea passage, the blockade net that the five pirate motherships can open is also large enough to cover the entire offshore of Tawi City. Especially after being equipped with a more powerful scanning radar, the tightness of this blockade net has reached the point where it is almost impenetrable.
Looking at a few pirates who had already filled up the light speedboats, Clint took a deep breath and had to turn his face to Chazo, who was still chattering and boasting: "How fast can these light speedboats be?" ”
Spat at the surface of the sea, Chazo looked at the speed and direction of the spit falling into the water blown by the sea breeze and replied: "It can reach a speed of sixty knots per hour at full speed. Tonight's wind and waves are a bit strong, which may reduce the speed of the speedboat...... But forty-five verses, it should be fine. ”
Looking at the old light boats and the pirates who were clearly drunk and clustered around the tail of the pirate mothership, Clinder spoke again, "Are you sure your men can do what we want?" ”
Nodding his head with a big grin, Chazo spat again towards the dark sea: "It's just a catch, it's not a problem for us, after all, we rely on this to ......"
Before he finished speaking, a flickering spot of light appeared on the scanning radar beside Clinder, rushing towards the deep sea at a very fast speed.
Glancing at each other, Clint immediately manipulated the scanning radar and began to conduct further detection scans towards the spot that had just appeared. At Clinder's side, Chazo also opened his voice and shouted at the pirates gathered in the stern: "A fish has crashed into the net, give me a speedboat!" Hurry up, you sons of. Keep your fingers in mind and don't shoot indiscriminately! Be alive ......"
In the midst of the brutal shouting, Clint stared at the detection readings given by the scanning radar, and whispered in surprise: "Large offshore transport ship? It's not right......."
Approaching Clinder's side, Chazo looked at the data given by the scanning radar, and muttered with the same frown: "It is impossible for such a large ship to have such speed...... This is at least forty-five knots, and it is still increasing. There's no way there's a boat like this in Tawi, and I can guarantee it – the fastest boats in Tawi are all in my hands! ”
Staring at the fast-moving spot on the scanning radar, Clinder also looked incredulous: "It seems that the guy who wants to get out of the sea has really gotten some good goods....... Inform the two motherships closest to us to outflank and intercept, and we will head over! ”
Apparently interested in the extremely fast large ship, in the midst of Chazo's shouts, the pirate mothership, which had only been cruising gently on the sea, suddenly sped up and went straight towards the high-speed large ship that had rushed to the offshore area. On the scanning radar, the two groups of light spots that had been marked with their identities also began to make a pincer outflanking action.
As if sensing that the pirate mothership had begun to intercept and outflank it, the extremely fast-moving spot began to circle around the offshore sea with a strange trajectory, as if trying to find a way to break through the encirclement of the three pirate motherships. But perhaps because he was not familiar with the sea conditions, the strange spot of light wandered around the sea a few times, and then plunged headlong into a reef area near the sea.
Looking at the spot of light that was still driving at high speed in the reef area, Chazo whispered in disbelief, "How is this possible....... In that reef area, even small ships may run aground at low tide, and it is completely impossible for large ships to enter, otherwise they will be killing themselves! ”
Also staring at the strange trajectory of the light spot, Clinder also had a surprised look on his face: "What kind of ship could this be?" Radar scans are certainly not wrong, but it's too much out of the ordinary......"
