Chapter 68: Sudden Change

"I remember that you were only proficient in sniper weapons and tactics, when did you even understand these things?" Olivia, who was on the side, was stunned and handed Hugh the manual. [Ran^Text^Library] []

"When I was on a mission in the Middle East half a year ago, while waiting for the enemy to appear, I chatted with my teammates and exchanged the performance of the new equipment I was familiar with." Hugh took the manual and flipped through it. "It takes about fifteen minutes to deploy one, and it takes about an hour to get it."

"Then the rest is up to you." Olivia is looking forward to him.

"Everybody come over here and help. Olivia and Luis, helping to uncover the canvas covers of the phalanx and connect them to the ship's power supply with cables. Katyusha helped read the boot instructions on the manual, and I typed them into the computer console and tried to boot it. Hugh beckoned to his teammates, ready to deploy the phalanx.

Everyone received the task and began to get busy.

"Need help from my men?" Old Captain Jack asked with concern.

"No need, there's not much work to do, just leave it to us, the sailors and mechanics are still in charge of their own work!" Hugh flipped through the pamphlet in his hand as he walked towards the phalanx in the bow direction.

After nearly an hour and a half of busy work, the defense system set up by the special agent team has begun to take shape, and the four Phalanx turrets have been activated, which are set to attack any air and sea targets other than the hull, at speeds of more than 30 kilometers per hour, and within 500 meters, which is precisely the characteristic of the movement of the pirates when approaching the hijacked ship, and the dense network of fire built by these four Phalanx turrets will blast them to pieces in an instant if the enemy ships try to get close to the ship. It becomes food for sharks cruising in that area.

"Is there anything to eat? After so many busy days in Africa, I didn't get a decent meal, either unpalatable or full, and the only fond memory was Katyusha's pork chops with Russian sauce. After completing the deployment of the Phalanx, Louis touched his hungry stomach and asked the old captain.

"Haha, you're in luck. Today is a rare opportunity for everyone to enjoy fresh food. Since we travel to and from the sea all year round, it is only on the first day we leave the dock, for example, that we can get a supply of fresh vegetables and meat, so that everyone can feast. In the days that followed, we had to freeze the food to ensure that it didn't spoil, and after eating the frozen food, only canned food and smoked meat were enough to satisfy our hunger. It will take about five days to return home, and you will have to be prepared for the food to become more and more unpalatable. The captain replied.

"It's not too early now, the canteen should have started to operate, everyone follow in my footsteps and go to the canteen together." The captain continued.

The group followed the old captain down the spiral staircase to the freighter's canteen below deck, where there were steaming vats of mashed potatoes, tomato and brisket soup, garden vegetable salad, and grilled tuna fillet, and on the food shelves next to them were the night's staple - egg and bacon sandwiches.

Several crew members had arrived early, and after obtaining their own food, they sat on the benches at the table in groups of threes and twos, devouring and chewing, and nodding their heads when they saw the old captain.

"Today is the first day of sailing, in order to treat the tired crew after a long journey, so the buffet mode has been adopted, and the abundance is self-sufficient, but there is one rule, that is, no waste, from tomorrow will be changed to rationing food. Feel free to eat whatever you want, let's do it yourself, I'm welcome. After the old captain finished speaking, he picked up the stainless steel dinner plate beside him and left himself with a full amount of mashed potatoes.

After getting their own food, everyone sat around the old captain and enjoyed dinner in a quiet atmosphere.

"Can I fish here?" Louis asked, sipping tomato brisket soup.

"Don't think about it, you see that the side of the ship is at least forty or fifty meters above the sea, where can you find such a long fishing line, and you throw this pole down, the bait has to run with the ship, and there is so much food in the sea, how can any fish be stupid enough to put the food around you and not eat it, and chase your poor fish Erbium with little fish on the hook?" Olivia replied like a cannonball, almost dispelling the other party's thoughts.

"I was thinking that I had to find something to pass the time for five days at sea, otherwise I would have to get up and sleep at sea every day, and how boring it would be. I wonder if there are any unusual ways to spend this amount of time fishing on a boat? Louis was still reluctant.

"Fishing is impossible here." The captain almost choked on laughter. "But when it comes to interesting things, there are still some after all, on the way to travel will pass through some islands that have no dependent countries, whenever this time we will arrange for the crew to take a half-day vacation, one is to go to the island to search for fruit and game, replenish food, on the other hand, you can bask in the sun on the beach, go swimming in the sea, as a way to relax and exercise, don't underestimate these unknown islands, the natural scenery on it is no worse than the resort Maldives."

"Full of anticipation~" Olivia sipped the pastoral salad.

"Captain, something is wrong!" One of the sailors hastily ran from the deck to the crowd and said breathlessly: "The sea... The pirates are coming. ”

"It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here..."Everyone put down the food in their hands one after another, and under the leadership of the old captain and sailors, they ran towards the direction of the deck.

Olivia came to the deck, raised the military telescope hanging from his neck, and saw that 1.5 nautical miles away, a small white destroyer was heading in the direction of the freighter, riding the wind and waves, gradually closing the distance between the two ships.

"Rub, I saw the missile launcher at the stern. This turned out to be a missile destroyer. Olivia exclaimed.

"These pirates who robbed houses have slowly grown stronger, and now they are all in exchange for money. Are we sure to deal with them? Louis asked worriedly.

"Without further ado, concentrate all the firepower to attack their missile launchers, first detonate the missiles with a phalanx equipped with armor-piercing shells, and after removing the threat, then use the phalanx equipped with high-explosive bombs to destroy the living forces on the enemy ships, the mobility of our ships is too weak, and they are not the opponents of the opposing warships, everyone must hold steady, and wait for the enemy ships to enter the best range of firepower before making a move."
