The attendant frowned and said, "What kind of thing is Lin Yuan?" It is so presumptuous to dare to order our people of the British Empire not to leave Bombay, and I feel that reading this telegram is an affront to you, so I dare not read it. ”

Tanzabik laughed loudly after listening to the attendant's words, and laughed for a while before saying: "This is Lin Yuan using psychological tactics and bluffing, what is there to be afraid of?" ”

The attendant hurriedly said, "Lin Yuan is well-known for doing what he says, how could he be intentionally intimidating?" ”

Tanzambique smiled and asked, "Do you know how far Mumbai is from Madras?" ”

The attendant thought for a moment and replied, "It seems to be more than 1,200 kilometers, right?" ”

Tanzambique said with a smile: "It's 1345 kilometers, if Lin Yuan's plane wants to make the flight radius reach this distance, the load capacity must be very low, and the low load capacity means that it can't carry large anti-ship weapons, so Lin Yuan has no ability to hit us at all, Lin Yuan is just talking big words." ”

The attendant hurriedly asked, "Then Lin Yuan doesn't have any other means of attacking?" ”

Tanzanbik laughed and said, "What can be any other means of strike?" Forget it, don't say more, don't pay attention to Lin Yuan, this telegram doesn't need to be released to the outside world, by the way, how is the 'Margaret' large cruise ship prepared? ”

The attendant hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Rest assured, the Margaret, loaded with your treasures and a thousand wealthy British merchants, will leave for San Francisco in the western United States in an hour. ”

Tanzambique nodded and said, "Very good, this ship is loaded with a lot of my treasures, I have been operating in Mumbai for so many years, and the good things I have accumulated are basically on it, I must let this ship reach the United States safe and sound." ”

The squire said, "Why don't I go and call the captain of the Margaret and ask it to set sail at once?" ”

Tanzanbik let out a "hmm" and said, "Let it set sail quickly, Lin Yuan is scheming, if he really has any tricks, it will be extremely unfavorable to us." ”

The squire agreed, ran out and made a call, the captain of the Margaret, Royce, received the call and immediately ordered to set sail, the displacement of the Margaret large cruise ship is as high as 50,000 tons, this tonnage even exceeds the capital warship of the British Navy, so the whole ship is like a moving mountain on the sea, in the sea, it is an international practice for small boats to avoid large ships, because it is more convenient for small boats to turn, so the small boats in the channel have turned to make way for the Margaret.

Equipped with 32 boilers and 3 steam turbines, the Margaret was strenuous to start, and after an hour of twists and turns, the Margaret finally left the harbor and sailed into the blue Indian Ocean.

The Margaret was traveling at an economic speed of 15 knots, and the captain Captain Royce stood in the command room, staring closely at the sea in the distance, he was afraid that other ships would suddenly appear on the route, after all, the Margaret was a large ship with a displacement of 50,000 tons, and it was a cruise ship type, not a high-mobility ship type like a warship, and the difference in maneuverability of the Margaret could be imagined, so Captain Royce was afraid that a ship would suddenly appear in front of him, and he couldn't avoid it, and then collided, and the boats were all rich businessmen from Mumbai, They are inextricably linked to British politics, and if they hurt anyone, they will be finished.

While the Margaret was thinking, the communications chief suddenly ran over and said, "Report to Captain Royce, we suddenly received a telegram from the Chinese Navy. ”

Captain Royce was stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "Chinese Navy? Isn't the Chinese Navy in Madras? Why did you come so soon? ”

Captain Royce muttered, then smiled and said to the communications chief, "What did the Chinese Navy say?" Is it 'suspect that there are pirates on your ship, please stop the ship for inspection'? ”

The communications chief shook his head and said: "The Chinese navy did not say this, they said that Lin Yuan had given an order, all the British in Mumbai must stay in Mumbai and wait for Lin Yuan's trial, and those who leave without permission will be killed, let us turn the bow of the ship and return to Mumbai within fifteen minutes, otherwise it will sink us." ”

Captain Royce frowned, raised his binoculars and looked around, but found no ships of the Chinese Navy, and said in surprise: "Where are the ships of the Chinese Navy?" ”

"The telegram says that they are sailing with us in the direction of four o'clock and are following us," said the communications chief. ”

Captain Royce hurried to the porthole, raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of four o'clock, and found a long thing in the shape of a strip on the sea, half buried in the water, somewhat similar to the ship, but very different.

The telescope in Captain Royce's hand suddenly fell on his chest, he took two steps back, and exclaimed: "Oh my God, it's a Chinese submarine." ”

The communications chief was also stunned, and said in a trembling voice: "How is it a submarine?" How did the Chinese submarines come to us? ”

Captain Royce hurriedly said: "It's too late to think so much now, hurry up and send a telegram to the Governor of Tanzanbique, asking him to make a decision, whether we want to follow the orders of the Chinese and return to the sea?" ”

The chief of communications hurriedly sent a telegram, Tanzanbekistan was dumbfounded when he received the telegram, he shook his head desperately, and said: "God, Lin Yuan actually sent the submarine over, it's incredible." ”

The attendant said, "Your Excellency the Governor, we can't afford to watch the Margaret suffer, so let's let the Margaret come back." ”

Tanzambik's face sank suddenly, and he said, "No! Can't let the Margaret come back, the power of the Chinese in Mumbai will become bigger and bigger, the Margaret will not escape, there will definitely be no chance, I heard some experts say that the speed of the submarine is very slow, the Margaret is a large ship equipped with 32 boilers, 3 steam turbines, the speed can reach 20 knots, as long as the speed is accelerated, the Chinese submarine will definitely not be able to catch up. ”

The squire asked tentatively, "Then I'll order Captain Royce to speed up his escape?" ”

Tanzanbik nodded heavily, and the attendant immediately sent a telegram, and Captain Royce picked up the communicator and ordered: "Four cars forward three, accelerate to maximum speed!" ”

The Margaret was a ship with four propellers, so Captain Royce gave the order to "four cars forward three", and the Margaret immediately picked up speed, cleaved the waves, and sailed into the distance.

Inside the Chinese Navy submarine, Guantong said in a loud voice to the captain: "Report to the captain, the enemy ship has increased its speed and wants to escape." ”

The captain smiled helplessly and said, "A civilian cruise ship, do you still want to race with a nuclear submarine?" Increase the PWR power and catch up. ”
