Chapter 253 Bringing the King In
The four scouts who infiltrated the Sea Dragon's salvage area in a helicopter and after launching the water, they sneaked towards the waters where the Sea Dragon was located. Considering that it was too close to be detected, the four reconnaissance divers split into two teams and began to reconnoiter the Sea Dragon.
When they tried to get closer to reconnoitre, they found that the diving team of the Sea Dragon seemed to be carrying out salvage operations in the deep diving area. With the water level where they are currently located, it is natural that they cannot see the situation at the bottom of the sea.
Johanson, who was in charge, thought about it and finally decided to send a diving team to dive to the bottom of the sea to carry out reconnaissance. Judging from the current situation, the Sea Dragon has not recovered anything from the sea for the time being, so the salvage work should continue.
As a diver begins to dive, towards a lighted place on the bottom of the sea. The diving scout, who had just seen the crew of the Sea Dragon salvage, was carrying porcelain from the cabin, and immediately realized that this was a shipwreck with treasure.
Anyone who came to salvage shipwrecks in the South China Sea knows that a large part of the shipwrecks that sank in the South China Sea in the early years were mainly sea-fishing porcelain. If you're lucky, you might be able to salvage some precious metals from these wrecks.
Don't look at the price of Hailao porcelain, it doesn't seem to be too high, but if the number of Hailao porcelain on a sunken ship is large, it is still a very considerable wealth. What's more, in recent years, the auction market of Hailao porcelain is also very popular with some collectors.
As the diver reported to Johanson through the underwater intercom, the diver did not know that there was an additional person behind him. While he lurked to give the news, the people hiding behind him waited for him to finish the report before giving him a slap.
Even if the diver wore the water, after facing the penetrating gravity hit, he didn't have time to react at all, and soon fainted. Not long after, a circular blister soon appeared around the body of the fainting diver.
The blisters are forbidden in the seawater, and Xu Haibao, who saw this scene, said to the divers who were on guard nearby: "Look at him, there are three water rats on it, I'll go and clean them all up." Tell your team leader, just keep working!"
"Yes, Swordfish!"
Stun the diver with one palm and use blistering to protect the other person. The reason why the other party was spared was that Xu Haibao was also for the follow-up. These living hostages are believed to bring him more benefits.
Compared with killing the other party, it may also cause international disputes, and now the other party is arrested alive, and Lizi's face is on Xu Haibao's side. Most importantly, these divers who sneaked over carried weapons and equipment suitable for underwater warfare.
At least Xu Haibao is sure that once the four divers lose news, he believes that the salvage ship sent by them should be very anxious. In the end, it is very likely that they will rush over and compete with the Sea Dragon.
As long as the other party's salvage boat dares to come over, Xu Haibao doesn't mind continuing to pit them once. In the follow-up so-called revenge, Xu Haibao believes that as long as he is at sea, he has nothing to fear. Even if he goes abroad in the future, the Sea Dragon is still not easy to bully.
To solve the foreign divers who were in charge of reconnaissance in the salvage operation area, Xu Haibao quickly surfaced to deal with the remaining three foreign divers. When they reported the situation of the submarine reconnaissance, Xu Haibao was knocked out one by one according to the gourd painting.
Looking at the four foreign divers who surfaced one after another, the alert speedboat that was on standby nearby soon appeared next to the four floating corpses. It wasn't until they were moved to the speedboat that the guards noticed that the four were still breathing.
Looking at the vigilantes, Xu Haibao quickly said: "The diving equipment and weapons are all stripped naked, and we have already filmed the video of them lurking in the operation area before." The evidence is ironclad, even if the lawsuit goes internationally, we don't have to be afraid.
Load the four people on the salvage ship, let the Sea Eagle fly hard, and send all four people back to the base to guard. Without my orders, let them keep a strict watch over the fields. In the name of it, he is a spy who spies on intelligence. ”
"Yes, Swordfish!"
With such a crime, these four foreign divers will shed their skin if they don't die. But for the security guards, these people spying on their company's seabed salvage operations is itself a provocation. If you don't clean up, you won't work!
The security team members who stayed on the salvage boat looked at the four foreign divers sent by the alert speedboat. Zhao Ji, who was in charge of receiving it, said with a look of pity: "Looking at their dress, I think they should be retired naval special forces, do what the swordfish said!"
After being sent back to the base for detention, these four people will inevitably have some trouble if they want to return to China smoothly. As far as the Sea Dragon salvage ship is concerned, I believe that with the handling of this incident, those who make their decisions in the future should also be careful.
When a foreign salvage ship in the territorial waters of a certain country received a message from Yohanson and others, the person in charge of the salvage ship said happily: "It seems that our guess is correct, their salvage ship has really salvaged a shipwreck with treasure!"
"What's next? Based on what the helicopter had detected earlier, these people seemed to be vigilant. Earlier we had a helicopter and a photo with their helicopter. I'm afraid they'll be on the alert!"
Even if they were alert, would they dare to resist? Tell Johanson to keep an eye on the other party's salvage boat. As soon as the other party starts to hoist the treasure, immediately report the situation. ”
Just when these foreign salvage companies, which planned to turn into armed plundering ships at sea, began to contact Yohanson and others, who were in charge of approaching reconnaissance, the crew in charge of liaison found that Yohanson had not answered many calls.
Knowing this, the person in charge of the salvage ship frowned slightly and said, "Still can't contact them?"
"Yes, boss! What now? Will something happen to them?"
Regarding the worries of his subordinates, the person in charge shook his head and said: "Johansun They are all retired elite frogmen of the Royal Navy, and their combat effectiveness is very strong in the sea. Call again every once in a while, maybe they won't be able to respond to us right now!"
Even though the person in charge was worried, the person in charge decided to wait. But almost an hour later, Yohanson and the others still did not reply, and this situation quickly caused more worries.
After some consideration, looking at the gradually darkening sky, the person in charge quickly said: "Let the helicopter take off, and then go to the other party's salvage operation area to carry out aerial reconnaissance." Others, get ready to sail and get ready to go out into the open seas. ”
has been staying in the territorial waters of a certain country, and he doesn't want to arouse the vigilance of the Sea Dragon. According to the information they detected earlier, the carrier-based helicopters of the Sea Dragon basically flew in the waters of the high seas and did not fly in the territorial waters of other countries.
From this kind of reconnaissance flight that did not cross the line, the person in charge felt that this salvage ship, whose flag was docked in the Xiangjiang River, would certainly not dare to provoke disputes or controversies in the territorial waters. In contrast, they have been invited by a country to navigate freely in their territorial waters.
By the time the helicopter on the salvage ship took off again, the Sea Dragon's helicopter had already set off for base. At the same time, another helicopter, the Seahawk II, which was on standby at the base, had already taken off from the base and rushed to the salvage area.
Even the Sea Eagle II, which received the take-off order, arranged for the helicopter weapon pendants stored at the base. With a machine gun attached, the helicopter can also be turned into a simple version of the helicopter gunship capable of striking from the air.
Flying back to the base from the salvage area takes a lot of time. Fortunately, the carrier-based helicopter is not used to go back and forth, and if it is a one-way round-trip, the fuel is still sufficient. One took prisoners, and one took off from the base to provide air support.
When the foreign salvage ship's shipboard helicopter approached the Sea Dragon's area with a little caution, they found that the helicopter that had warned them not to approach earlier seemed to be missing. Without air power, the helicopter seems to be arrogant.
Looking at the foreign helicopter hovering in the operation area, Xu Haibao, who was staying in the sea, quickly said: "Tiger Shark, shout to let this helicopter leave." Three warnings are ineffective, fire a few flares to scare, and don't use the gun!"
"Yes, Swordfish!"
As the head of the security team of the salvage company, Zhao Ji knows very well that even individual anti-aircraft missiles are equipped on the salvage ship. It's just that most of these weapons are foreign and not domestic. In doing so, I don't want to cause trouble for the country.
The purpose of stockpiling such weapons is to ensure that salvage ships can have a certain degree of self-defense and counterattack capability when they are attacked by air strikes overseas. At least when you encounter the enemy's helicopter gunship, you will not be passively beaten and have no power to fight back.
Moreover, at the distance where this helicopter was located, Zhao Ji could even order the sniper to use a large-caliber long-range sniper rifle to give the opponent a fatal blow. But Xu Haibao ordered that no guns should be used, so he would naturally follow the arrangement.
The helicopter in charge of aerial reconnaissance looked at the Sea Dragon, which was fishing for the treasure of the shipwreck in the sea, and did not care at all about the Sea Dragon's shouting. On the contrary, in the air, report the situation to your own salvage ship that is coming.
Another layer of the helicopter's provocation is to see if this salvage ship has any heavy weapons. If so, they also have to consider whether the consequences of snatching and killing each other on the high seas are worth it.
As a result, in the end, watching the Sea Dragon fire a few signal flares, the pilot of the helicopter was startled, and soon found that this kind of signal flare did not pose any threat to it at all. After continuing to reconnoiter for a while, it was decided to return to the salvage ship.
The reason why they chose to return is that more of them are the heads of foreign salvage ships who are rushing to the operation area, worried that the helicopter will stay there and the Sea Dragon may give up the lifting operation. In that case, it will be more troublesome for them to come.
After all, the situation that the person in charge of the foreign salvage ship wants to see is that after controlling the Sea Dragon, all the treasures it has salvaged will be transferred to his own salvage ship. Then, before the rescue of the Chinese patrol ships, they safely withdrew to the territorial waters of a certain country.
If they still have to go to the sea to salvage the sunken ship, then the Huaguo patrol ships that arrived at that time will definitely not let them carry out salvage operations. Perhaps their salvage boat will be seized. Therefore, it is still very necessary to let the Sea Dragon breathe a sigh of relief.
But they didn't know that when they rushed to the salvage area of the Sea Dragon at full speed, they were not in a hurry to grab the treasure. More than that, they rushed to die. As long as they do it first, the Sea Dragon will implement drastic countermeasures!
