Chapter 232: Our Ship Was Ordered to Strike Your Ship (Part I)
The first update
Just a few weeks before the departure of the Galaxy, no one noticed the sudden visit of the Soviet Pacific Fleet to India. The Soviet Union declared that this was a normal naval exchange between India and the Soviet Union. Of course, no one would associate the events of the Soviet visit with the events that would take the next move by the United States towards the Milky Way. Only those high-ranking Soviet officials with insider knowledge knew the real secret behind this so-called naval exchange.
Warm currents bring moist sea breezes, and the Indian Ocean is calm, with only bright sunshine and endless blue waters. The Bank in the Gulf is like a lonely leaf, sailing in the clear blue waters. After passing through the Strait of Malacca and leaving Singapore, the Galaxy headed straight for its destination in Kuwait. However, the captain Zhang Rude's face was not as good as this calm sea, but shrouded in an ugly haze.
Just a few days before his departure, the military leaders made a special trip to Zhang Rude, who said that he must be careful when driving in the Gulf area, and in case of any unexpected situation, please immediately contact the Soviet fleet, which is also staying in the Gulf area, and they will provide you with the help you need.
When Zhang Rude asked again what was going on, the leaders of the military region chose to keep silent. He could only tell Zhang Rude, and even he was just relaying the orders of his superiors. Even a military region leader is not qualified to ask about these things, let alone a small captain like Zhang Rude?
However, an ominous premonition permeated Zhang Rude's heart, and he felt more and more that there were ulterior secrets and traps waiting for him behind this ocean voyage.
Mi Junxi, who served as Daifuku, was watching every move around the Milky Way, because they had received strict orders from the captain before. No matter what the problem is. They must all report to him as soon as possible. Although the crew was somewhat inexplicable about what the captain said. But he still faithfully carried out the orders he had given.
Suddenly, Mi Junxi noticed that a US military helicopter quietly appeared behind the Yinhe. It's like a hyena watching its prey staring at the direction of the Milky Way. Although it is common for American helicopter gunships to appear in the Gulf region, Mi Junxi still felt that something was wrong, and he reported the situation to Zhang Rude as soon as possible.
"What do you say, an American helicopter appeared behind us?" Zhang Rude's worries became a reality at this moment, and he repeated, "Are you sure this US military helicopter is coming at us?" And not passing by? ”
"Captain, I'm pretty sure. They kept a short distance from us, and they definitely came for us. Mi Jun looked at the helicopter with joy. Suddenly I felt a shudder. The helicopters of the Americans are coming at themselves, do they want to hold the ship hostage?
Mi Junxi's idea was soon fulfilled. The American helicopter began to approach the Yinhe and flew over the Yinhe, hovering at a low altitude only a dozen meters high from the mast, and the helicopter's hatch was opened, and a camera was taking an overhead shot of the Yinhe, and it was shooting in an all-round 360-degree way.
At this point, it was already obvious that the American helicopters were coming for the Milky Way, and Zhang Rude immediately took out the communication methods provided to him by the leaders of the military region at that time, and used a special channel to contact the Soviet fleet.
Just as Zhang Rude was a little hesitant. When he didn't know how to speak, the other party replied in pure Mandarin. "This is the Pacific Fleet Red Ukraine, I am the ship's translator Dralanov, are you the Chinese captain Mr. Zhang Rude?"
"I'm Captain Zhang Rude." Hearing the other party's Chinese reply, Zhang Rude was a little surprised and surprised.
"Mr. Zhang Rude, can you tell us about the current situation?" The other party asked again, maybe the communication signal was a little bad, the other party repeated it again, and asked Zhang Rude to confirm whether he could hear his reply.
"Of course I can hear it. Now the situation is such that the helicopters of the Americans are circling around us for surveillance, and it is not clear to us what their purpose is. Zhang Rude's voice trembled a little, and he had to suppress the nervousness in his heart to answer Dranov's question.
On the Red Ukraine, the interpreter translated Zhang Rude's words to his captain, and after listening to the interpreter's statement, the captain was silent and thought for a while before replying, "The Americans have already taken the means of surveillance, and I am afraid that the next step is to send ships to intercept." After all, such a cargo ship has no resistance at all in front of American warships. Tell the Chinese captain that if the United States talks to you, please delay as long as possible and hold on, our fleet is coming in your direction, please inform me of your location. ”
Zhang Rude hurriedly reported his position to the Soviet captain, and tried his best to slow down the speed and delay the time, and sure enough, an hour later, the pilot of the helicopter contacted Captain Zhang Rude through the VHF16 channel, and the other party arrogantly said that the Yinhe must report to him the ship's name, course, speed, home port, cargo situation and destination port.
Because of the support of the Soviet army behind him, Captain Zhang Rude's speech was also very tough, and he condemned the helicopter pilot in English with righteous words, "This is a Chinese cargo ship, and we have no right or obligation to report our situation to the Americans. Or is it that Americans, their parents have never taught their children what parenting is. ”
However, the pilot still repeated reluctantly, "This is the U.S. Navy, we order you to report on your cargo ship, otherwise don't blame us for taking tough measures." ”
"It's okay to report, but we have to get a reply from your superiors, you say you're the U.S. Navy, and I say you're a Somali pirate!" Zhang Rude's reply and attitude were tough enough, "And taking tough action against a country's cargo ship in the public sea is an act of declaring war, and it is best to go through your own brain before you say this." ”
Zhang Rude saw that the US military did not dare to do it directly, and those words were just a bluff. That's why he dared to make such a bold reply.
Sure enough, the helicopter pilot was forced to report the situation here to the headquarters before taking action. He raised his middle finger towards the Galaxy and said viciously, "Hmph, wait for you Chinese to be unlucky." (To be continued.) )
