Chapter 613: Rude Interception
The appearance of the red flag will always arouse the sensitivity of other countries, and less than half an hour after Zhou Xuan's sailboat entered the strait, a Japanese ship followed, not close, but not far away, for full monitoring.
"Here we go again, they don't dare to arrest people here, right?" Pei Shengnan asked.
"Don't worry about it, let's go." Zhou Xuan didn't think so, this was an international route, and they didn't dare to mess around.
The other party saw the red flag, and also saw another strange flag, a piece of grass underneath, and a yellow kite on it, which country's flag is this? Hurriedly called up all the flag information for comparison, but did not find it, and felt that the sailboat was suspicious, so he reported the situation.
Of course, it's the sail flag of the Shengqing, and a golden goshawk soars above the sea! If Guan Qing hears their evaluation, he will definitely lose interest in painting, and there will be one less master in the future.
"When we get back, will they still follow us?" Pei Shengnan asked again.
"Then think of it as an escort!" Zhou Xuan smiled.
"In case ......"
"It's okay, Katsuo, I'm the captain, I'll take care of everything."
Zhou Xuan comforted softly, Pei Shengnan's heart warmed, and he didn't say anything more. The reason why the situation quickly got out of control was that the pictures she sent prematurely caused an uproar.
Pei Shengnan's guilt has decreased a lot, but the other party's ship is trying to get closer, and the speed has been pressing on the sailboat, Zhou Xuan's face is gloomy, this move is to block their way forward.
Speed up!
The sails were puffed up, and Zhou Xuan sprinted forward with all his might, and the opposing ships accelerated almost at the same time, keeping them diagonally in front of them.
"Hey, what do you want to do?" Pei Shengnan shouted on the radio, but there was no reply.
This situation lasted for a full two hours, and the other party still did not disperse, and there were no other ships encountered on the wide waterway, and Zhou Xuan knew that the closer they got to the horizontal end of this island chain, the more serious their interception behavior became.
In fact, when Zhou Xuan was about to pass in half an hour, the other party's boat acted more excessively, turning horizontally and blocking the front of the sailboat.
The sea area is vast, a ship can't block the way, Zhou Xuan changed direction and drove to the other side, the other party seemed to be playing a blocking game with them, neither attacking nor giving way, forcing Zhou Xuan to change direction again and again.
The breakthrough was not far ahead, but Zhou Xuan suddenly realized a problem, that is, they were getting closer and closer to the islands on both sides. If they enter the territorial waters of the other party, then the coast guard has sufficient reasons to detain Zhou Xuan and others.
Circling around the sea, the opposing ship approached step by step, forcing the sailboat back ten nautical miles!
"It's infuriating, they did it on purpose!" Pei Shengnan shouted.
To add insult to injury, another Japanese ship appeared on the sea, controlling the direction of the sailing ship on the left and right. Not only did they not want Zhou Xuan to pass, but they also wanted to squeeze him into the other party's sea area, which was the most head-scratching.
Even if Zhou Xuan wanted to retreat at this time, it would be the same result.
A rumbling sound came from the sky, and everyone looked up to see that it was three military planes with red flag signs, hovering directly above. Two ships stopped, and, apparently, the appearance of a military aircraft was more important than a sailing ship.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Xuan immediately moved forward at full speed, passing between the two ships, less than five hundred meters away from the nearest ship.
The two big ships caught up again, and the military planes circled and pressed down, and then several more military planes flew in from the sky, and then the Japanese military planes also rushed to the scene.
The other party was busy reporting the current situation, and he couldn't help but write down slowly, Zhou Xuan moved forward at full speed, and finally left them far behind, smoothly passed through the strait, and entered a wider sea area!
Looking back at the military plane, it had already retreated, whether it was a coincidence or the protection of citizens, Zhou Xuan didn't know, but he was sincerely grateful in his heart, and the deterrent power of the five stars above allowed them to get rid of interference and pass smoothly.
Yes! Pei Shengnan began to raise his arms and cheer again, but Zhou Xuan made a decision, "Shengnan, we have stabbed the basket, it is not absolutely safe now, it is difficult to say that it is not in the next island chain that there are ships to block, it is precisely our route in the longest position between the two island chains." So, I decided that we should drive around the clock and strive to get out seven days and seven nights. ”
"Don't worry, my current driving level is already able to graduate!" Pei Shengnan said proudly.
"I can too!" Guan Qing also straightened up his thin chest, and his head contained a lot of knowledge, but he was still a child who had not grown up.
Both of them insisted on sharing the voyage, and after thinking about it again, Zhou Xuan still agreed, but Guan Qing could only be a substitute during the day, and he was usually mainly responsible for some chores. Zhou Xuan was in charge of night sailing.
With modern sailing and positioning equipment, the speed of sailing at night is not much less than during the day, but the atmosphere at night at sea is more oppressive.
It is often said that the blue sea, in the deep sea area, is dark, especially after sunset, the sea is deep black, which makes the loneliness magnified several times.
"Guan Qing, why don't you go to sleep yet." Zhou Xuan urged.
"Master, it's too dark in the sea, and there's no movement at night." Guan Qing put his hands in his sleeves.
"Hehe, what's the matter, scared?"
"No, I'm just afraid that Master will be bored, so I'll talk to you."
"I'll talk about it tomorrow, be obedient, and go back to sleep."
Guan Qing went back, hugged the bed blanket and came back, saying that he was sleeping next to Zhou Xuan and was driven away by him. Children are energetic, but they also have to ensure the quality of sleep, and if they get sick on the boat, not only will the trip be delayed, but it will also be difficult to treat.
Pei Shengnan and Guan Qing were in charge of the day, Zhou Xuan was at night, and the three of them drove the sailboat expressionlessly every day, and they didn't even get together to eat, but they were all tired to death.
The timing was perfect, and when the three of them carefully passed through the second island chain during the day, Pei Shengnan's tears fell and he sat on the deck and wept silently.
"Katsuo, it's hard work, and I've wronged you." Zhou Xuan wiped her tears.
"No, I think you're working too hard, why is God so cruel and giving you too much pressure." Pei Shengnan sobbed.
"To put it mildly, there have been many navigators from ancient times to the present, and perhaps their sailing ships are not as good as mine, but the hardships are several times greater." Pulling Pei Shengnan up, Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "I have a new decision, take a day off!" ”
"What a holiday, just don't have to hurry!" Pei Shengnan burst into tears and laughed.
"Let's have some fun at sea."
The direction was adjusted to the southeast, and the nervous nerves of the three of them relaxed, and they could enjoy the feeling of galloping with the waves, but they also experienced the loneliness to the fullest.
