Chapter 255: Give me a look
The high seas may seem to be under the jurisdiction of any State, but they are subject to maritime conventions and international law on the high seas. From the moment the foreign salvage ship decided to commit the robbery, they were also aware of the possible consequences of the incident.
In response to such armed robbery on the high seas, the hijacked vessel has the right to retaliate in a certain degree of self-defence. Since the foreign salvage ships used machine guns to strafe the Sea Dragon, it is tantamount to admitting their sinister intentions of planning to rob the Sea Dragon.
In this case, the Sea Dragon, which was forced to defend itself, naturally had the right to carry out a counterattack. The machine gunner who shot and killed the opposing party, even if the lawsuit goes to the international community, I believe that many people will side with the Sea Dragon and think that they are doing the right thing.
The Hailong, which had only turned on a few lights earlier, as Xu Haibao gave the order to counterattack and close the encirclement, the searchlight, which had not been turned on, instantly locked on the foreign salvage ship not far away to provide light support for the snipers of the Hailong.
As the chief sniper of the security team, he had already locked onto the red snapper of the previous foreign machine gunner, and took the trigger after careful aiming. The bullet exited the chamber and quickly hit the target. In the scope, the red snapper personally saw the other being shot in the head.
Sudden multiple beams of searchlights, plus large-caliber sniper shells fired by the Sea Dragon, and a freshly baked corpse. The foreign crew members who had dreamed of making a fortune before instantly felt that they had been splashed with a basin of cold water.
The person in charge of making this decision was the first to say: "Be careful, there are snipers on the other side's ship!"
The dinghy, which was originally intended to be lowered, was soon temporarily suspended. Just when the helicopter not far away was about to rush to support, a helicopter appeared in the sky in the distance, which once again attracted the attention of the crews of both sides.
In the process of a slight stalemate, a voice suddenly came from the horn of the Sea Dragon: "In view of the unknown identity of you, and the fact that you have committed an armed hijacking of our crew. Under international law, we have the right to retaliate in self-defense.
From now on, I hope you will refrain from making provocative and rebellious moves, and wait for the arrival of our patrol ships. If you leave now, we have the right to intercept you. Don't make unwise decisions!"
When these sounds were heard from the horn, the crew members who were staying on the foreign salvage ship soon saw the speedboat coming from all sides. With the help of the lights on the salvage ship, many foreign crew members could clearly see the weapons carried by the crew on the speedboat.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it. The reason is simple, on these surrounded speedboats, there are crew members with bazookas on their shoulders. If the other party pulls the trigger, it is believed that their salvage ship is likely to be blown open a hole.
If the salvage ship is blown up and a hole is opened, then everyone can expect the result of waiting for the salvage ship!
Most importantly, at this time, the appearance of the Sea Hawk 2 helicopter once again shocked the hearts of foreign sailors. The helicopter that rushed to support was equipped with a large-caliber machine gun, and the muzzle of the gun was already aimed at the foreign salvage ship.
Even at this time, the pilot on the Sea Eagle 2 said directly: "Helicopter ahead, please land immediately for inspection." If we don't heed the advice, we may take self-defense measures to shoot down the helicopter!"
Faced with the modified helicopter that rushed to the scene of the incident, the foreign helicopter that was previously responsible for aerial reconnaissance quickly realized that something was wrong with the situation. Just as the helicopter was about to gain altitude, the Seahawk II quickly opened fire.
After the 'tom tom' shot, a string of bullets burst into sparks, startling the helicopter as it prepared to flee. The person in charge of the foreign salvage ship also felt shocked when he saw this scene.
Through such well-trained countermeasures on the Sea Dragon, the head of the salvage ship has realized that this is a trap. The problem is, even if he knew it was a trap, it was too late. Greed eventually blinded his consciousness.
The crew next to him said with a slightly panicked expression: "Boss, what should we do? We may be fooled!"
"Order the crew, restart the ship, I don't believe it, they dare to attack!"
"What if they do attack us?"
"Try it first! These Chinese people should not dare. After all, we are Eagle Nation!"
It's a pity that just when the foreign salvage ship was restarted, intending to get out of the encirclement. Xu Haibao, who had been staying on the sea, quickly said: "Sea Eagle No. 2, give the other party a little warning and knock out their command tower light!"
"Yes, Seahawk 2 received!"
After receiving Xu Haibao's order, the Haiying No. 2, which pursued the opponent's helicopter, quickly turned back and flew near the salvage ship, and the machine gunner, who pulled the trigger again, quickly hit a string of bullets on the tower light of the foreign salvage ship.
The explosion sound of 'clang' made the crew members of the foreign salvage ship instantly become frightened. Many armed crew members hiding on the deck were the first to look for a place to hide.
At this time, the pilot of the Sea Eagle No. 2 continued, according to Xu Haibao's instructions: "Please pay attention to the crew below, please stop the ship immediately and wait for inspection. If you don't listen to the dissuasion, you will bear the consequences!"
"Sea Dragon, I am the Great Eagle Empire's Dongying Salvage Company. I have the right to protest against your attacks on my ship!"
In the face of the strafing of the Sea Eagle II, the person in charge of the Dongying salvage ship finally couldn't sit still, and raised his identity as an Eagle Countryman, trying to put pressure on the Sea Dragon. In his opinion, the prestige of the Great Eagle Empire in the world is still very strong.
As a result, what made him depressed was that in the face of the shouting of the Dongying salvage ship, Tang Xingyou on the Sea Dragon immediately retorted: "Regarding your identity, you need to wait for the arrival of our patrol ship before you can leave after you have undergone relevant inspections."
In view of your previous unjustified attacks on our ships, I have reason to suspect that you are armed raiders, and even that you are pirates. According to the international treaties on the high seas, you should be very clear about the rules for dealing with pirates, right?"
At this time, Xu Haibao said in a timely manner: "Thief No. 1, send rockets and let the other party feel the power." Remember, don't hit them in the right places. Just shoot a target with live ammunition and occasionally shoot a shot, it's okay!"
"Skua One, Roger!"
Seeing that the Dongying salvage ship that was slowing down significantly was still moving forward, Xu Haibao felt that he had to give the other party a little bit of power. The foreign crew members who had been staring at these armed speedboats soon saw flames erupting from one of the speedboats.
"God, they're firing rockets! We're done!"
While the crew were wailing, rockets grazed past their salvage boat. As soon as some of the crew members felt lucky, the horn of the Sea Dragon sounded again: "This is the last warning, stop the ship immediately, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
Although the person in charge of the salvage ship wanted to gamble on such a threat, the rest of the crew did not. If you really let the rocket punch a hole in the salvage ship, then everyone on board may be buried in the sea.
In the end, the Dongying salvage ship, which had no choice but to stop the ship, could only continue to stay on the high seas. At this time, several patrol ships on standby also rushed to the sea area where the Sea Dragon was located at full speed. His actions are justified and well-founded, and he is not afraid of being provoked by others.
After being blocked in the open sea for nearly an hour by the armed speedboat of the Sea Dragon, the military and police ships that appeared in front of them appeared, which made the foreign crew members on the Dongying salvage ship seem to breathe a sigh of relief. In their opinion, the life was saved in the end.
Also seeing the arrival of the military and police patrol ship at the scene, Xu Haibao immediately ordered the speedboat to be armed and handed over all the weapons to the salvage ship. Even the helicopter on alert in the air returned to the salvage ship's parking platform.
When Xu Haibao got on the boat from the sea, the weapons and equipment that had been collected quickly disappeared. The security team members who had previously carried bazookas on their shoulders still had simple self-defense weapons in their hands when they reappeared at sea.
But this scene, the crew of the foreign salvage ship naturally can't see it. After seeing that they were surrounded and warned to be inspected, many military police armed with guns began to land to inspect the Dongying salvage ship.
Many light and heavy weapons seized from the Toei salvage ship were also videotaped by the military police in charge of the search. The entire law enforcement process can also withstand the investigation of the Eagle State in the later stage. At the same time, military and police ships also boarded the Sea Dragon for inspection.
Even during the inspection, the military police in charge of the search brought several crew members from the Toei salvage ship. This was also done because the Dongying salvage ship had filed a complaint against the Sea Dragon for carrying out armed threats against them.
Looking at the Chinese ** policeman who boarded the ship, Tang Xingyou, as the captain of the ship on the surface, said very directly about the accusations of these foreign crew members: "Comrade, these people are really wicked people who sue first, if you don't come in time, we will be in trouble." ”
"They accuse you of carrying heavy weapons and carrying out armed persecution of their ships. Now, we need to inspect your vessel, and we hope that you will cooperate. We will also deal with your accusations in accordance with the law. ”
"Well, fortunately, my ship is equipped with monitors. The video of their previous intimidation and attack on our ship has been recorded. I can record a copy of these materials for you later. Later, we will file a complaint!"
After handing over the previously recorded video to the police officer who led the team to board the ship. The military police who boarded the ship quickly searched the Sea Dragon. First of all, the helicopter, which previously had machine guns hanging on the plane, now there is nothing.
"Mr. Policeman, they must have hidden their weapons. I'm pretty sure that this helicopter is a helicopter gunship!"
"Sir, this helicopter is a marine-type commercial helicopter, which was developed by our country itself. In view of your reasonable demands, we can accept it. Now, you can also participate in the search. ”
As a result, it was obvious that apart from a few licensed pistols on board, there were no other so-called bazookas and large-caliber sniper rifles found on the ship. The unwilling foreign crew even turned over the Sea Dragon.
After the search was fruitless, the mentality of these foreign crew members immediately collapsed. The police in charge of the investigation, after seeing the video recorded by the Sea Dragon and the weapons found from the ship, quickly made the decision to bring the Dongying salvage ship back to the port for investigation.
The follow-up will undoubtedly be very unfavorable to the Toei salvage ship. Even if they ask for help from the embassy, I believe the embassy will not say much. After all, the entire law enforcement process of the military and police is reasonable and legal!
