Chapter 500: Go to the rescue

readx;

Original Bill, a reporter for the British newspaper The Times, boarded a plane to Saudi Arabia half a month ago to report up close on the Strait of Hormuz, which touches the pulse of all the world's economies

It is a pity that by the time he arrived, the defense forces of the peninsula, with the help of the Iraqi Navy, had completely solved the problem, shipping had been restored, and he lost the newsworthiness of his reporting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧

Bill is not reconciled, if he wants to become a strong man in the news industry, he needs to report some news that no one else knows!

So, by bribing officials of the Saudi Navy, he managed to board the Saudi Navy's Medina-class frigate Abuha and became a reporter reporting from the ground, which encouraged him to photograph a series of situations along the Strait of Hormuz, which attracted the attention of many Britons.

You know, British people spend at least half an hour reading newspapers every day! His news brought the British back to the attention of the Strait of Hormuz, and also caused the Times to sell a lot of money, so Bill was rewarded by his boss.

However, with Bill's success, several other major RI newspapers, even newspapers in France, Germany and other countries, also came to grab the news, they walked behind Bill, but not as successful as Bill, only a few people, had the opportunity to step on the ships of the escort formation, most of them, could only follow the oil tankers in and out, to report. ≦≧

However, the lack of high-value news in recent days has made Bill a little dissatisfied, and journalism is about always digging new things so that you can attract readers.

Bill looked at the surrounding water, the escort formation had once again completed its task, out of the Strait of Hormuz, the warship's anti-air warning radar was still turning, and the minesweeper in front was also clearing more mines, but this could no longer arouse his interest.

Suddenly, he saw the aft deck of the frigate, where personnel activity began.

The French aerospace SA365F "Dolphin" 2 helicopter is preparing for takeoff.

Could it be that the Iranians are making a big move again? Bill's mind moved. If he can keep up with the helicopter, I'm afraid he will have a bigger harvest this time! Think about it, how spectacular it would be if the Iranian speedboats could be filmed in the sky attacking the convoy formation! Although the massive speedboat attacks of the Iranians, it has not been seen for a long time. Sometimes it's just a few speedboats, and they're going to take them out in no time.

As he was thinking, he saw a naval officer hurrying by, who was the ship's co-captain. ≦≧ he was able to get on this boat. It is the result of a large bribe of this person.

"Dear Rahe, do we have a field mission now?" Bill knew it was a bad question. However, if you want to get useful information, you need to be very thick-skinned.

At most, the other party has a straight face. Tell yourself military secrets, nothing more than comment.

The other party was very anxious and said: "There is a cargo ship that is in distress forty nautical miles away from us, and we are going to rescue it now." ”

Danger at sea? This is a new hot spot! And, not yet a military operation, Bill asked, "Can I join the rescue?" ”

As he spoke, he gestured: "Before I entered the press, I was a search and rescue officer of the British Maritime Search and Rescue Squadron. ”

At this time. A first mate ran up to the deputy captain and said: "Report, our helicopter can take off in two minutes, however, our helicopter is an anti-ship helicopter, although it is also equipped with a winch, and there are no skilled search and rescue personnel." If the other party falls into the water, we still can't rescue them. ≦≧”

Here's your chance! "It is the duty of every citizen of Great Britain to rescue our fellow citizens in distress at sea," Bill said. Mr. Captain, you agree with me! I'll get them out safely. ”

Rahe thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Bill was in a state of excitement at the moment, and he longed to be able to hug the cute bearded Saudi officer. Kiss hard.

Bill ran down the corridor next to the warship to the back compartment. In his hand, he is still holding his camera tightly, this time, it will definitely be an explosive news, he is in front of so many peers, how lucky he must be!

The Dolphin helicopter was ready to go, and after picking up Bill, it began to take off.

Bill looked at the two pilots who were taking off in the front cabin, and took his first photo, and his report started here!

"Our mission this time is to rescue an American freighter McCain that has caught a mine, it is very close to us, so our ship will arrive soon, what we need to do now is to try to rescue the crew who may have fallen overboard, the situation there is unknown now, we have to be prepared. ≦≧" In the back cabin, Hades, the person in charge of the rescue, who is the commander of the operation, turned Saudi rescuers, said.

After the submarine completed the attack, the Super Hornet helicopter of the Iraqi Navy in the distance used the sea search radar to find that the ship had stopped moving forward, proving that it had lost power, so it immediately notified the formation, and Rear Admiral Talal, who was waiting in the formation, immediately ordered the helicopter to set off, but, in order to avoid possible dangers, for example, there may be armed personnel in the other side's ship, and in the process of boarding the ship, danger may occur, so, Iraq's newly formed Marine Corps took over the task, and four of their most elite fighters were responsible for the first batch of "rescue" missions, and, at the time of the final operation, Rear Admiral Talal suddenly thought of the British journalist on the warship who had paid a high price, and thought of this method, so that he could witness that moment. That's why there was the scene where the deputy captain met him by chance.

And in the first wave, that is, the helicopters of the two Medina-class frigates rushed to the process, the whole formation was also moving rapidly, and at the same time, the two salvage ships that had been on standby in Oman were also coming quickly, in case the ship was really sunk, then, it must also be salvaged amicably, because the other side will block the channel!

Bill looked at the people around him, they didn't look like they were going to rescue at all, but more like they were going to fight, they were almost fully armed, and they didn't need to carry so many weapons at all, they were so unprofessional! It seems that when it comes to sea rescue, I can be their teacher. ≦≧

"This is a very meaningful rescue, guys, can I take a picture of you?" Bill asked with a smile.

"No, and you can't take a picture without permission for you to take a picture." Hades said coldly.

Is it so hard for the Saudis to speak?

Bill felt depressed, but as a journalist, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and for a while, he had to see how he performed. In Bill's head, he thought back to the actions of the rescue at sea.

Soon, the helicopter flew to the sea area where the accident occurred.

From the sky, the cargo ship has indeed had a big accident, the stern has begun to sink, this mine, the explosion is really not light, even on the aft deck, there is beginning to be sea water flooding, if there is no ship to come to the rescue, this ship is afraid that it will sink soon.

Bill looked down, those crew members were running, trying to save the boat, no one of them fell into the water, so the set of actions to save the people who fell into the water by themselves could not be used.

"Looks like it's time for us to go up and help." Hades said.

Hearing the roar of the helicopter in the sky, Captain Green raised his head and saw that the helicopter was the symbol of the Saudi Navy, and he immediately felt nervous.

How did they come so fast? I didn't send a distress signal at all!

He suddenly had an ominous premonition, if it was the US Navy, he was still sure that he would use the Jewish forces in the country to let them cover up this matter, but it was a Saudi helicopter that came, then the secret of their ship was likely to be exposed!

"I'll go down first." When he heard that he was going to go down to the boat, Bill suddenly became interested, went down to the boat, and took pictures by himself, so they couldn't care about it, right? Rescuing a ship in distress and taking a few more photos like this is very shocking, and it will be a spectacular sight to be a spectacular sight on the ship, which has tilted the ship, and the crew is struggling to rescue the seawater, drain the seawater, and resume sailing, reflecting the sun in the west at this time.

You go down first? Hades glanced at him encouragingly, "Okay, then let you go down first!" ”

The hatch of the cabin was opened, and Bill expertly put the noose of the winch on his buttocks, and then, braving the sound of the wind whirring overhead, he walked out of the cabin, holding the cable with one hand and making skillful gestures with the other, but, I don't know if they were familiar with it.

Back in the day, every time he did this kind of rescue drill, Bill would feel that there was something God had sent to save those creatures.

He still has his own camera hanging from his waist.

"Captain, there's someone down above." A Jewish crew member said to Green.

Green saw it too, of course, and at this point all of their crew stopped moving, waiting for the captain's orders.

If Green ordered the bilge to be opened and released at this time, the ship could sink quickly and sink to the bottom of the sea, which could be regarded as a temporary secret. Of course, this is only his most reluctant idea, and it is also the most effective way.

However, Green did not give the order, because he saw that from that helicopter came not an Arab, but a European!

That guy, where did he come from?

Green hesitated, and he lost his last chance.

"Hey, brothers, I'm here to save you!" Bill landed on the somewhat sloping deck with his feet and shouted to the sailors watching him.

It was an American ship, and the people on board were Americans, and Bill was British, so Bill was very happy to see the person he rescued.

He didn't know that just when he landed on the ground, a few more ropes hung down behind him.

Bill's greatest use is not to be a reporter to expose this matter, for Hades, his use is to attract the attention of the other party. To be continued
