Chapter 102: Invasion

Jiaolong members drove three captured coast guard ships to a distance of more than 300 nautical miles from the Republic of Maldives when they were detected by the Naval Guard of the Republic of Maldives.

Because the Republic of Maldives takes the tourism industry as the backbone of its economy, it is not a military power in the traditional sense, and the country's maritime military force is only composed of two light missile destroyers, a frigate, five maritime law enforcement vessels, and some speedboats used by the militia, so the sudden arrival of the three coast guard ships has made the Maldives feel tremendous pressure, because if a conflict breaks out, it will inevitably bring some bad impacts, so as to affect the country's tourism industry.

"Immediately activate the first level of combat readiness, and immediately order the destroyer K819 and the maritime law enforcement ships D45 and D32 to form the first echelon to go to the target sea area to carry out expulsion or interception, and other ships are ready for combat and ready to support the first echelon at any time."

In accordance with the tendency of the superiors, Marshal Bonieck, commander-in-chief of the Navy of the Republic of Maldives, quickly issued an order to personally lead the three Maldivian Navy ships to carry out operations and rush to the target sea area to carry out the task of warning and expelling the invading vessels.

"Report, K819 is locked onto the target, ready to attack!"

When Boonek drove for a hundred nautical miles with his fleet, the Jiaolong pirate group drove three coast guard ships into the exclusive economic zone of the Maldives oceans, but they were locked by the Maldivian missile destroyers.

"Watch out! Start the silent mode, and fire is resolutely not allowed without my orders! ”

Looking at the three targets arranged in the shape of "Pin" on the radar, Boniek looked very cautious, this is the new century, no matter what, war is not the best option, and the fragile economic situation of the Maldives does not support a war, not even a small-scale local war, and even if it is won, what if it is won? It only shows that there is war here, it is not safe, and no tourist dares to travel to a place with the risk of war.

"Report! Fifteen degrees to our left port, two light ships were spotted, as well as one medium ship, tentatively estimated to be the Navy of the Republic of Maldives. ”

When the two sides were 100 nautical miles away, Jiaolong members detected through the radar on the coast guard ship that three ships were approaching 100 nautical miles, with very clear intentions, that is, they were coming at themselves.

"Turn on the signal reception, adjust the frequency to the public channel, and keep an eye on the other party's movements!"

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, knowing that this was the main master, the first time he faced a country's navy, he was also very nervous, and at the same time, she also knew in her heart what it meant to be a mid-level ship, which meant that the ship could carry more weapons, and it would definitely be equipped with weapons of great destruction, such as precision-guided missiles, and he only had three coast guard ships equipped with naval guns, which would never be able to compete with ships carrying missiles, so what Jiang Lin had to do now was to get in touch with the Maldives. Let's see if there is a chance to pass directly through the Maldives archipelago, if it really can't be done, then it can only be spared.

"Report, the other party has opened the public channel."

Hearing that the other party had turned on the public channel, Boniek breathed a sigh of relief, at least proving that there was one more option for this tense situation, and immediately gave the order: "Shout to the other party, indicate our identity, and our decision." ”

"Report, the other party sent a signal!"

After receiving the report, Jiang Lin quickly picked up the headphones and put them to his ear: "Friend opposite!" We are the Navy of the Republic of Maldives, and you have entered the legitimate territorial waters of our country, and we now ask you to immediately return or detour and withdraw from the territorial waters of our country, otherwise we will use all means to defend the sovereignty of our country, including but not limited to war, and all the consequences caused by it will be borne by you! ”

Territorial sovereignty is the core interest of a country, and territorial waters are also part of sovereignty, and the meaning it gives to the country is the same as the territory, which is inviolable, so the Maldives side ordered the Jiaolong pirate group to withdraw from their territorial waters, which is reasonable, legal, and reasonable.

"Friends of the Republic of Maldives! I am the leader of the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment, my name is Jiang Lin, first of all, we have no malicious intentions, we just want to pass through the territory of your country, and we hope to be released. ”

frowned, although he knew that the feasibility was not too high, Jiang Lin still decided to give it a try.

Jiang Lin's words in the Bonic channel headphones, his brows furrowed again, Jiaolong Pirate Group? He was impressed, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Friends of the Jiaolong Pirate Group, I am just following the orders of my superiors, and I have no authority to release you for you, if you want to pass through my country's territorial waters, please show a legal official letter, if not, please retreat eighty nautical miles first, I will report to my superiors, if approved, I will give you an answer as soon as possible!"

Indeed, as Boniek said, he does not have the right to release, generally foreign civilian commercial ships want to transit, must have an official letter, and must also report to the Maldives Marine Bureau for approval and approval, and the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment is now driving three coast guard ships equipped with naval guns, in a strict sense, it is a paramilitary vessel, with considerable particularity, so if the Jiaolong Pirate Group wants to pass through the Maldives waters, it must obtain the resolution of the high-level of the Republic of Maldives, otherwise it will not work.

"Eighty nautical miles back? Commander, let's go around! It's more than a hundred nautical miles back and forth, and it's not much worse to go around? Not to mention that we have to wait, and who knows how long we will wait? Maybe 10,000 years? ”

Tiger is a short-tempered person, and when he heard that they had to wait to step back, he was not happy on the spot, so he made a suggestion to Jiang Lin.

"Nope! We retreated eighty nautical miles and waited for their notice. ”

Jiang Lin shook his head, then picked up the microphone and shouted to the Maldives Navy: "Friends of the Maldives, we will immediately retreat back 80 nautical miles, please report our intention to pass through your country's territorial waters to your government, and we will wait here for your country's decision." ”

In fact, Tiger is very right, navigating in the territorial waters of the Maldives still has to go through such a cumbersome procedure, and the delay is enough time to detour, but the reason why Jiang Lin insists on detouring from the territory of the Maldives is that he has his own ideas, because sailing in the Maldives is not Jiang Lin's main intention......
