Chapter 537: hijack
Zhongtian-Beikun.
The captain, Yu Yinliang, stood in the wheelhouse with his eyes on the sea.
The Zhongtian-Beikun rides the wind and waves, and keeps moving forward.
As a captain, Yu Yinliang's treatment is naturally not bad, especially when there is a transportation task, although it takes one to three months for a round trip, the bonus is very generous.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a successful person.
The entire Zhongtian-Beikun has 20 crew members. As the most advanced container carrier, the Zhongtian-Beikun is not too big, but it can carry the capacity of 8,000 standard containers at one time. It's not small anymore.
In fact, eight people are enough to control such a transport ship.
Taking into account the rotation, the crew eventually increased to twenty.
Twenty crew members were put in an old-fashioned ship, which is totally unimaginable, but with the development of science and technology, all this is no longer a problem.
There are some ships with only five or six crew members.
but……
Don't think that if the demand for crew becomes less, the crew will lose their jobs. If you have this thought, it would be too naive. Ten years ago and ten years later, today, the number of ships used for sea transportation in the world has increased several times, and the thirst for crews has increased.
This trip starts from the deep city, passes through the Mediterranean, and then enters the Black Sea.
When returning, follow the same route as when you came.
No matter it is back and forth, it is full of goods. It is the product when it goes, and the original material when it returns. China Huaxia is a large manufacturing company, and its products are exported all over the world. The demand for raw materials is also huge.
"After this trip, I had a good vacation and can take a good rest for half a year." Yu Yinliang thought, now passing the Gulf of Aden, he can return to the deep city and return home in more than ten days.
The most important thing when going out is safety.
In the past, the Gulf of Aden was an uneven place for them, but with the establishment of the **** fleet, their merchant ships finally no longer have to fear the Gulf of Aden.
When the motherland becomes stronger, they will benefit from it.
Looking at the sea, it is very calm. The wave is only about half a meter. For the sea, it can be called calm.
"Contact the **** formation and send us our location."
This is a necessary procedure. Even if there has been no news of pirates for a long time, years of experience have allowed Yu Yinliang to make these moves in a habit.
The captain spoke, and the crew naturally followed suit.
Soon, they got in touch with the **** formation, but because the escorting warship had just escorted a large container ship away and was cruising back, it would take at least an hour to provide escort.
Yu Yinliang is used to this result.
Escort warships, in fact, they have been patrolling along the route, not specifically escorting a ship. Only when they met each other and when they happened to be on the way, they would slow down and sail forward with the transport ship one after another.
In this way, keeping up with the warship can only be said to be a chance.
Like now, Yu Yinliang's luck is actually good. At least an hour later, the frigate will catch up with it, side by side with it, and finally one after the other, until it leaves the Gulf of Aden.
There are too many merchant ships passing here, and the formation of frigates can't take care of them.
"Slow down our speed and try to meet them in half an hour." Yu Yinliang gave the order. It is not a big deal to be slow for half an hour. Safety is the most important thing.
With the frigate, the powerful firepower will not make pirates foolish.
"Yes, Captain."
The crew nodded, then let the transport ship start to slow down.
Just after the transport ship decelerated, and when it was moving forward at only eight knots, they did not notice that a fast-moving ship appeared on the distant sea and was rushing toward it aggressively.
There was no radar system on the transport ship, but the ship was still discovered when it appeared two nautical miles.
"Pirates are pirates."
"Grass, wouldn't it be so unlucky, how could you meet a pirate?"
"Speed up, fast."
"Wang Ping, take the axe and helmet."
"Contact the frigate, hurry up."
Suddenly, the Zhongtian-Beikun became a mess, and the crew became a mess.
Pirates, this is a Somali pirate with a big name.
They had only heard of it before, but never encountered it. In the rumors, it seems that the Somali pirates are not very friendly. It is common to kill people and throw their bodies in the sea, and they will kill without a ransom.
Some people have used their lives to confirm these rumors. How many people have been detained for one or two years, and then redeemed after being tortured. People have transformed themselves.
Now, it was their turn.
For various reasons, it is difficult for Somali pirates to buy warships and the like. Most of them still use sea ships to make certain modifications and then rely on speedboats to carry out attacks.
In the telescope, you can see that this ship is an offshore vessel, but its speed is amazing, almost flying off the surface of the sea, you can see that it was modified.
Especially in the telescope, you can see that there are some sturdy men on the ship, all of them carrying guns. And this sea-going ship has not only guns on it, but also a few Vulcan guns, which can be said to be powerful.
These features are not enough to explain all this?
"Quick, take a photo and send it to the **** fleet." Yu Yinliang was afraid, but still reacted.
In the first time, a communication channel was established with the **** warship.
"I am the captain of the XX formation of the **** formation, Zhongtian-Beikun, report on your situation." A deep voice came out on the communication channel in the li.
"The pirates are Somali pirates. They are one mile away from me." Yu Yinliang took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"We are sailing at full speed and we are expected to arrive at you in 20 minutes. For your lives, please cooperate with the pirates. We will rescue you as soon as possible." The captain said again.
In such a long period of time, the warship was useless, and there was not even a pirate to fight against.
Now that the pirate was finally discovered, and still so close to him, how could the captain let go of this opportunity?
A frigate that was still cruising before suddenly increased its speed, increased its speed to the maximum, and sailed forward. On the frigate, all was busy, connecting to satellites, obtaining materials, and then feeding it back to the frigate.
Soon, they confirmed that what Yu Yinliang said was true, that a HNA had approached the Zhongtian-Beikun.
The alarm sounded.
All the navy soldiers assembled first, and then entered various positions.
Facing the upcoming battle, none of them was afraid, but became anticipating. God knows what they miss every day is that they can fight with real guns.
The pirates are far inferior to the navies of other countries, but the pirates have been in the Gulf of Aden for so many years, naturally they have their advantages, and they can also achieve the purpose of training.
The excited soldiers were so efficient that they put the frigate into combat more than usual.
…………
The ship quickly approached and released four speedboats from the ship. Their speed was even more abnormal, at least one third faster than the ship.
Although the speed of the transport ship has increased to fifteen knots, it is far from these speedboats.
The speedboat was running around the transport ship and soon shot a rope on one of the landing points. Just like the most experienced pirates, some sturdy men raised their guns to control the ropes, while some carried the guns to climb up the ropes.
According to the urinary nature of pirates, they will climb here more slowly.
But these pirates are not ordinary pirates. This rope is in their hands, as peacefully, they have already boarded the ship in the blink of an eye.
The crew of the ship, holding all kinds of cold weapons, they shrink to the position of the wheelhouse.
In the face of pirates with all kinds of guns in their hands, they also know how weak their resistance is now. But the fear of pirates made them take up weapons.
"Let down the weapons, we just want the ransom."
A pirate held such a sign with Chinese written on it, and raised it to the cab.
More and more pirates entered the transport ship, and they soon included the wheelhouse. Without waiting for the people inside to figure it out, a burst of shots was fired at the lock, smashing the key.
The crew inside were so scared that their faces became paler when the lock was beaten to no effect.
A big foot kicked the gate flying, and then the pirates swarmed up.
None of the crew members dared to move and had a black muzzle, letting them know that these pirates were really anxious and would open fire and kill the one who dared to appear.
Who will be this one?
No one wanted, so everyone in the crew was armed with weapons, but no one dared to pounce on it. They could only watch the door being kicked open.
One of the pirates pointed their muzzle to the floor www.ltnovel.com The crew was pale, but they still followed suit one by one, throwing away the cold weapons in their hands, and then raised their hands.
Yu Yin's heart was distressed. He was thinking about making some excuses to delay them. When the frigate arrived, the crisis was naturally resolved.
Who would have thought that the efficiency of these pirates was so high that they even prepared the paper with Chinese characters. It seemed that they had expected what they would do, whether to escape or yield.
Seeing that no one resisted, these pirates immediately rushed forward.
One by one, they tied their hands together, then drove them to the speedboat and drove towards the sea boat.
Everything is without muddle, like a veteran.
It seems that they are also aware of the existence of the **** formation and know a quick fight.
Under this kind of efficiency, any delay is a joke. People didn't even say anything to you. If someone is tied up, they are taken away.
From boarding to leaving the ship, it only takes five minutes.
Fortunately, they did not shoot directly, but simply took people away. It can be seen that they are demanding money for life, and if the ransom can be paid, they will not commit suicide.
It just so happens that Zhongtian Shipping Company is a responsible and wealthy company. The ransom will be delivered soon. They can return to China within two or three days at most. Even this Zhongtian-Beikun will take over and return to China.
Therefore, their faces are not so good about being tied up, but not the kind of panic facing life and death. They are very cooperative one by one. They don't want to cause trouble and anger each other.
Not to mention being killed, it was enough for them to be beaten up.
