Chapter 519 519 Cargo Ships at Sea
The wind and rain at sea are wild, the weather is strange this year, it is already late autumn, the tropical storm is still blowing to the north, and all parts of the coast are preparing for disaster prevention, but the scale of this tropical storm is not very large, and it probably will not cause much impact.
The navy has also taken advantage of such high sea conditions to carry out training, and when fighting, it is not possible to mention that God chooses the weather, the clear sky is thousands of miles to fight, and the hail and thunder and lightning are also to fight. Qi Yiming has such a thing as a weather controller, but technically it can only create a lightning storm, and it may be slightly difficult to think about the rain.
On the destroyer Jiaxing, Captain Uillich commanded the crew to complete one training task after another. Not so long ago, he was the captain of a frigate, and when he was old, he was promoted to the captain of a destroyer. It's a little funny, he changed the type of ship, but the name of the ship did not change, because the navy adjusted the ship naming regulations once, so the Jiaxing ship was upgraded from a frigate to a destroyer, and the captain was still Ulich.
Uillich has only been in office for half a year, and he is still very satisfied with his new ships. This is a Type 052D Aegis destroyer, the most important combat ship of the Navy, because of its average performance, it is an all-rounder of the Navy, and can be competent for different combat missions, so she is present in almost all naval combat missions.
Despite having less than half the armament of the Type 055 cruiser, there are few conflicts under normal circumstances that would have used so many missiles. The 64 VLS units of the 052D are equipped with 16 YJ-18 anti-ship missiles (sometimes 8 YJ-18 with 8 CJ-15 land-attack cruise missiles), 16 Changying-5 anti-submarine missiles, 32 Hongqi-16 medium-range anti-aircraft missiles (four missiles in one pit), and 24 Hongqi-9 long-range anti-aircraft missiles. According to the nature of the mission, it can be flexibly matched with bullets.
The anti-submarine rocket reflector tube, which has followed the Navy for many years, was canceled on the 052D, and four 18-mounted multi-purpose rocket launchers with stealth were used with the hull. Short-range air defense has 1130 close-in anti-aircraft guns and FL-3000N course anti-aircraft missiles. (ps。 Some time ago, I saw that even the frigate was on 1130, it was too murderous)
The 052D in this configuration is considered by many military commentators around the world to be comparable to the Alephal who has just entered service with the U.S. military. The Burke-class missile destroyers are tied for the strongest destroyers in the world. Although the tonnage is smaller and the armament is less, it is generally believed that the 052D is superior to the Alepse in terms of electronic information warfare strength and specific weapon performance. The Burke class is a bit stronger.
"Captain, the radar picked up the signal of the target aircraft, did it launch a missile to shoot it down?"
"What are you waiting for, let's do it!" Uurich smiled and ordered, he trusted the quality and level of the officers and men on his ship, even if the ship's hull swayed a little bit in the wind and rain, but Uurich was still full of confidence.
The target plane was about 100 kilometers away from the Jiaxing, and it was launched from the land direction, and the vertical launch unit at the front of the bridge of the Jiaxing hot-fired two Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft missiles, and flew out in the direction of the target plane. In general, the use of air defense missiles rarely uses one to hit one target, and the relatively normal situation is that four missiles hit one plane, but with the deepening of training, the officers and men of the navy have gradually understood the performance of weapons, and they can basically guarantee that two missiles hit one plane and ensure that they hit.
"Successfully hit the target aircraft." The weapons officer reported.
Uillich smiled again, ready to start deploying the next training mission, but received communications from the maritime department and the East China Sea Fleet Command.
"Jiaxing, Jiaxing, we have received a distress signal, there is a Chinese civilian ship near your ship that has been hit by a storm, the hull is damaged, and there may be a danger of capsizing at any time, order your ship to quickly go to the rescue!"
Yu Lixi's expression was dazed, and he picked up the communicator and said, "Jiaxing understands!" ”
China's armed forces have an innate obligation to help people in need, not to mention maritime practice, even if a civilian ship receives a distress signal, it cannot be left unrescued. Uillich immediately ordered the rudder to turn around and move at full speed towards the area where the accident occurred to rescue the cargo ship that had occurred in the accident.
The maximum nominal speed of the destroyer Jiaxing is 30 knots, but in fact, the Jiaxing can run at a speed of 35-36 knots in the ultimate state. While there was a risk associated with speeding in high sea conditions, it was clearly not the first time Uillich and his crew had done such a thing, and they trusted their hull.
When the Jiaxing felt the location of the accident, it found that the cargo ship was not in a particularly bad condition, but was just swaying in the storm. There is no obvious damage to the hull, and with the tonnage of this ship, it should not easily capsize or anything.
Uillich guessed: "I guess I hit some reef, broke the propeller, and lost power." ”
He turned around and ordered: "The Marine squad will board the ship in an assault boat, first rescue the crew on board, and then call a tugboat to pull the damaged cargo ship back." ”
"Yes, Captain!" The ship's resident marines boarded the assault boat and braved the wind and rain to sail to the trapped cargo ship.
When the marines found the seamen of the cargo ship gathered together in the seamen's restaurant, they immediately prepared to take them out of the cargo ship and go to the Jiaxing for shelter. The squad leader of the marine squad supported the captain of the cargo ship and asked with concern: "Is there anything wrong with this comrade?" ”
The captain of the cargo ship was wearing a life jacket, his face was not very good, and he said continuously: "No problem, no problem, thank you for the life-saving grace of the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, we are Zhejiang cargo 8301 that set sail from Ningbo Port, and it was set sail last night, this trip is to sell some household appliances to Japan, all of which have gone through legal customs declaration procedures......"
The Marine interrupted him and said, "What are you talking about, let's go, come with us to the warship." ”
The captain of the cargo ship turned even worse and said, "But what about my ship, there are a lot of goods on my ship, if something goes wrong, the compensation alone can bankrupt me!" ”
The leader of the Marine Corps squad said: "Is your life important, or is that money important, I don't look down on you money worshippers the most, money corrupts people's hearts and tempts people to do evil!" ”
Who knew that the captain of the cargo ship listened to the squad leader's words, but instead shuddered, and a clever member of the marine squad pulled the squad leader past him and said, "Squad leader, I think there is something strange about this." ”
The squad leader is a simple Shandong man, straight-eyed, and asked, "What's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
The team member said: "It was the captain's distress signal, but when we came to save them, they twisted and pinched." As soon as he got on the boat, he reported his home origin to the rescuers, and he insisted that he was pulling legal goods, if it was really legal, what to emphasize. Also, he doesn't seem to want us to stay on the ship longer, but he is reluctant to leave the ship, even if people are obsessed with money, which means that there is probably something unsightly on the ship. ”
The squad leader listened to the analysis and nodded again and again: "It's still your kid who has a lot of eyes, it must be, there must be something wrong with this captain." ”
The team member said: "The squad leader, you cheated him, saying that you want to check his goods to see how he responds." ”
The leader of the Marine squad nodded, walked up to the captain, and said, "This comrade, since what you are doing is a legal business, let's check your goods." ”
The face of the cargo ship boss was completely bloodless, and he grabbed the squad leader and said: "Comrade, comrade, you see how bad this is, please come up and save us, I have a few foreign cigarettes here, all of them are good goods, you can take them, let's go, this ship may sink at some point." ”
Then he whispered: "When I return to Ningbo, I have to thank all comrades, this is the grace of saving my life!" ”
The squad leader was very honest, and he didn't let go when he decided that there was a problem with the cargo ship boss, and he didn't talk nonsense with the cargo ship boss, so he supported his soldiers: "Go to the cargo hold and take a look at what good treasure this boss is hiding." ”
The captain of the cargo ship sent them to their knees and said loudly: "No, comrade! ”
The squad leader ignored him, and his big hand was on his shoulder, like an iron tong, and the captain of the cargo ship couldn't move.
It took about ten minutes for Yulich to see that the Marine squad did not return, so he sent a letter to ask, and the squad leader said that he would rescue them in a while in the name of searching and rescuing other personnel. As soon as the communication was put down, a few marines came up, and the clever marine just now came up and said to the squad leader:
"It's true that there is a lot of white electricity underneath, and we didn't find anything at first, but a refrigerator was overturned because the ship was rocking, and after the refrigerator door was opened, we saw that it was all this thing inside." He had a circuit board in his hand, and he looked very unremarkable. The squad leader took it and groped for a long time, but he didn't find anything special.
The team member added: "We checked their records, and there is no such thing in the export goods. And there is even more absolute, they have a layer of agricultural products wrapped inside and outside of a container, but there is a machine hidden inside, I don't know what machine, but it must be very powerful. ”
The squad leader's eyes were already glowing with cold light when he looked at the captain of the cargo ship, the smallest crime of the captain of the cargo ship was also a large amount of smuggling, although they did not understand industrial technology and other things, but they were very vigilant about national defense and security, since it was something that could not be understood, it could be a very powerful thing, and smuggling it out must be a big problem.
The squad leader said: "Transfer the situation to the captain, we need support, we are here today, we have to figure this matter out!" "There is no danger of sinking this cargo ship, it has just lost power, so the Marine squad is not worried about any other trouble.
After Uillich learned of the situation, he quickly notified the rear, and the military's secrecy department also quickly intervened, and a few hours later, on a trimaran high-speed rescue ship, several technicians and special service personnel arrived at the scene to investigate and identify the smuggled goods on the cargo ship.
The final result is very amazing, the cargo ship carried a total of 10 five-axis linkage CNC machine tools, this is pure smuggling, because this thing is allowed to be exported, but the price of foreign purchases is several times that of domestic purchases, and the profit of smuggling this thing is extraordinarily large. But other discoveries made the people in the special service unit particularly annoyed, and those hidden in the refrigerator cabinet were JT-level and even JCT-level electronic components (special military grade and super special military grade), all of which were restricted products that the state expressly prohibited from exporting.
Not counting these, in the captain's safe, the special service unit also came up with several important military-grade electronic components related design and process materials, this is no longer just a problem of smuggling, this is a problem of selling state secrets or even treason!
