What Luo Er didn't expect was that Chris' threat to him came so quickly and suddenly; the Pentagon in the American continent sometimes secretly made some obscene means when facing domestic plutocrats. .
The cargo ship flying the red dot and white background flag of Japan did not follow the usual route through the East China Sea and detour through the Taiwan Strait to Mindanao. Instead, it passed through Iriomote Island on the east side of the Ryukyu Islands and went directly south to the Babuyan Islands, saving a lot of time on the journey. For half a day, the benefits of chartering a boat are self-evident.
At dinner time, just as the ray of light on the sea level was about to dip into the deep blue sea level, the cargo ship that had just sailed into the high seas met a destroyer head-on. The red line of the military flag on the mast was fluttering in the wind. , I could see in the cockpit of the cargo ship that the Japanese captain was full of pride.
That's right, it's a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyer on its way back. Although it's an old warship from World War II, its clean and neat painting and the cannon-jacketed cannon on the bow all show that it's a Japanese ship. There are still guard warriors patrolling the land.
Fighting against smuggling and guarding waterways are not only the loud slogans of the Self-Defense Forces, but also reflect the aspirations of the people in Japan. Of course, the US boss also acquiesces first.
But what the captain didn't expect was that the warship that was about to pass by in the distance ignored the greeting signal light flashed by the sailor on the cargo ship. Instead, it unceremoniously flashed the light several times. The message from the signal light directly ordered the cargo ship to stop. examine.
"Woo, woo," on the silent sea, waves of sirens from the battleships were faintly heard through the telescope. The captain of the cargo ship was surprised to find a warship two thousand meters away. There were actually sailors dismantling the gun jacket on the naval gun.
"Really, what are they going to do?" Groaning in his mouth, the captain picked up the intercom dejectedly, and immediately ordered the power cabin to slow down, stop, and anchor. He was not willing to be hit by a cannonball inexplicably.
Speaking of the thousands of brand-new bicycles and motorcycles in the warehouse, not only the procedures are complete, but also the passengers on board are captained by rich smuggling experience. This time, the waist is straight and there is no ambiguity; for the pass issued by the Coast Guard, your Self-Defense Force also has to apologize with wide eyes, boarding the ship for inspection? Who is afraid of whom?
On the back deck of the cargo ship, Luo Er, who was bored after dinner, was sitting with Lao Cui, holding a long sea rod in their hands. Sitting on the edge of the boat and fishing against the railing, the radio beside him was telling vague news. What Luo Er didn't expect was that he could hear news from the mainland here.
"Old Cui, is there any news from the staff?" Luo Er, holding a thick cigar in his mouth and leaning back on the recliner, asked casually. It had been half an hour since the sea pole was in his hand, and there was no movement at all, which made him impatient.
"Chief Lin has sent out manpower and has cooperated with the local militia. The exact information has not been reported back yet." Knowing what Luo Er said, Lao Cui didn't even look back. He replied in a deep voice; in the fish basket at his feet, two one-foot-long sea fish were tumbling back and forth unwillingly.
Now that he had found the shortcomings of the medical kit, Luo Er suddenly became interested in the small mining site he had discovered, which was the uranium mine destroyed by the Moros. Naturally, the raw materials and ores they took away also made Luo Er Two in mind.
" However, finding the storage location of those ores cannot be found out in a day or two. The reward order issued by the security department to the tribal elders also requires time for people to investigate.
As for Honua from the Southeast Medan Intelligence Station, Lao Cui has already sent him a secret message. It depends on the ability of this jungle snake. One million U.S. dollars in exchange for a piece of information. This is the first time that the Security Department has made a big deal.
"Hey, why did the boat stop?" He pulled up a jumping sea fish with his swing. Lao Cui's face suddenly darkened, he listened carefully, stood up, and almost threw the sea pole in his hand into the sea; only Luo on the side Second, he was still blowing smoke rings slowly and staring directly at his float.
"Old Cui, you and I can't understand the Japanese bird songs, so why are you so anxious?" As soon as Luo Er finished speaking, Hushan, who was walking on the front deck and was alert, hurried over, "Sir, there's something going on."
"Don't be anxious, if you have something to say, the sky won't fall." Looking at the sea fish hanging on Lao Cui's fishing pole angrily, Luo Er rolled his eyelids while touching the cold sea pole, "Don't scare away my fish. Tell me, what do you want to do?"
"It's a Japanese ship. It just sent a signal, ordering it to stop for inspection." Seeing the indifferent expression of the officer, Toyama lowered his voice, "Leng Tian is watching from the front,"
"Oh, that's someone else's business. Why are you in such a hurry? Sit down and look at the pole for me." Luo Er looked at Hushan strangely and curled up his lips. A chartered ship is just a chartered ship. You can board the ship for inspection or something. That's the pull between the little devils, it has nothing to do with you.
"It's sir," Hushan didn't think much, and quickly took the fishing rod in Luo Er's hand, looked at the two fish baskets at his feet, and enviously fawned over Lao Cui, "Brother Cui, you're the one who can do it. Three of them, you¡¯re lucky,¡±
Hushan¡¯s interruption made Lao Cui relax. He glanced at Luo Er vaguely and hurriedly turned the hand wheel to reel in the line. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯ll treat you to a midnight snack. Fresh fish soup with red wine, it will definitely taste delicious.¡±
Luo Er, who was leaning on the recliner with his hands on his head, looked at the two of them singing with disdain, "Small fish with bigger palms are used for making soup. I think back then, the steamed fish I made weighed eight kilograms." , more than two feet long, then it is called a fresh one,"
Three old-timers who had never been to the seafood market were sitting in the stern of the boat, exaggerating about the freshwater fish they had eaten. On the front deck, Leng Tian stood like nails on the ups and downs of the bow, silently watching the captain and Several sailors stood beside the ship's trestle, waiting for the upcoming inspection.
A motorized rubber boat quickly crossed the sea. Five sailors who got off the destroyer, led by a Self-Defense Forces officer, had quickly approached.
Ten minutes later, the three sailors who boarded the cargo ship, under the guidance of the sailors, went to the warehouse to check the goods according to the list. The lieutenant officer, who had always looked gloomy, stood beside the ship's string and stopped the captain and the rest of the crew. The sailor below asked patiently.
"How many people are there on your ship? Do you have all the documents? Where is your destination?" His eyes drifted to Leng Tian at the bow of the ship from time to time. The lieutenant flipped through the documents brought by the captain.
"There are a total of thirteen crew members on board. The documents are complete and there are four passengers. They chartered the cargo ship and the destination is Basilan." Although he is from his own country's navy, the captain still answered nervously, for fear that he would answer wrongly. problem.
"Oh? What about their IDs? I want to check," said the lieutenant with a businesslike look. Throwing more than a dozen documents to the captain, he pointed at Leng Tian on the bow of the ship and said, "Call him over first."
His shouting face and pointing movements could not escape Leng Tian's feeling, and he snorted coldly in his nose. Leng Tian, ??who crossed his arms on his chest, also stared at the uninvited guest gloomily.
"Ah, this, this," the captain's face tightened, as expected. During this impromptu inspection, the passengers were still targeted, but this time we knew for sure; we quickly took out a document, and the captain carefully handed it to the officer, "Sir, I have a pass issued by the Coast Guard, marked on it. It is forbidden to check the passengers on the ship at will."
Taking the document from the captain, the lieutenant opened his eyes and scanned it. The familiar file format, coupled with the bright red seal and the long string of clear temporary codes at the corner of the page, confirmed that this was a genuine pass.
Out of the corner of his eye, he made eye contact with the sailor beside him, and the lieutenant's face became stern, "It's my duty, Captain, please forgive me, you come with me." After saying that, with the uneasy captain, he strode towards Leng Tian; Of the two sailors behind him, one followed him with a submachine gun, while the other quickly walked into the cab and loudly began to ask the helmsman.
The three people at the stern of the boat were still arguing about whether the sea fish was fresh or the freshwater fish was fresh. At the same time, they noticed the strange movement at the bow of the boat. They couldn't help but sneered and continued to start the fishing competition. Oh, Luo Er started to act as a referee and listened to the radio.
Facing the Japanese officer's questioning, Leng Tian couldn't understand the bawdy bird song, and didn't bother to show off his clumsy English. He just folded his hands and stared at the guy in front of him silently, which directly made this self-proclaimed elite marine thug angry. He rolled his eyes.
Twenty minutes later, with the captain apologizing profusely and sweating profusely, the helpless lieutenant put the document in the captain's arms, greeted his subordinates, got off the cargo ship in a huff, got on the boat and went back directly.
The documents and logs were complete, and the goods were ordinary commodities. Although the passengers refused to cooperate, the language barrier was still a problem, but it was not to the point of taking the cargo ship back for review; not to mention, the Coast Guard's pass, he was a small lieutenant. Don't dare to contradict easily.
The lieutenant sitting on the small boat heard the buzzing sound of the engine in his ears. He glanced at the unfamiliar sailor from the corner of his eye and saw him looking into the distance expressionlessly. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This time he temporarily If you cooperate, you can pass the test.
On the cargo ship, Leng Tian watched the officers and soldiers leave with his own eyes, then he sneered and walked carelessly to the rear deck. As for the Japanese in the cab, he was not even interested in taking a look.
On the night-filled sea level, brightly lit cargo ships slowly made their way on the sea at night.
A folding square table, four folding chairs, a pure copper hot pot filled with water, a few fresh vegetables and freshly caught sea fish, Luo Er generously took out a lot of condiments, two bottles of island country sake, and a midnight snack at sea here we go.
The dinner at sea is prepared by the chef on the shipThe prepared food was not very satisfactory for the four strong and strong men. Now that they had seven or eight sea fish in hand, they would not agree to it unless they had a good meal.
With three subordinates taking care of it, the ingredients were prepared very quickly. Luo Er sat comfortably on the chair above and happily took out the military magnetic cylinder; the orange-red flame stirred up by the fine carbon melted the soup. The stirring sound started to stir, and the rich fragrance spread out.
Amidst the drooling of several peeping sailors, Luo Er and the others raised their glasses, sandwiched a piece of meat that was about to become plump, and feasted on it. In the clear sea breeze, the unbridled Chinese chatter made the captain, who was full of the fishy smell of the sea, envious. The ground's eyes widened.
After eating and drinking, it was already around midnight. Luo Er took Lao Cui to the side, lit a cigar, chatted and went to fart. The miserable Leng Tian and Toyama still had to clean up the leftovers and wash their hands. Rinse it.
Fortunately, the last bottle of French red wine from the chief also put Leng Tian and Toyama in a good mood. They murmured and took out a banknote each.
"Hush," a loud whistle sounded, and Toyama raised his fingers to the upper deck, a sailor on night watch. He ran over and followed the captain's orders. They didn't dare to offend these distinguished guests carelessly.
"Sir, what can I do for you?" he said in a bawdy voice, and the sailor bowed and asked with a smile on his face. Unfortunately, the two uncles in front of him didn't seem to understand what he meant.
It¡¯s no problem if you don¡¯t understand, just gesture. Toyama took the banknotes in Leng Tian¡¯s hand and added one of his own. After shaking it twice in front of the sailor's eyes, "Yours, wash them, and this, here for you." Pointing to the table, chairs and cutlery next to him, Toyama made another gesture of washing dishes.
Under the stimulation of the beautiful knife. The sailor immediately understood what the guest meant, nodded quickly in agreement, accepted the sword handed over by Toyama, and smiled until his eyes turned into slits.
????????? Ten dollars, plus that one, just need these tables, chairs and tableware. After cleaning up, I can get twenty dollars tonight. My God, I only have a salary of less than one hundred dollars this time when I go to sea. I'm so lucky.
The lucky sailor called his companion. The two of them happily moved a lot of tableware, tables and chairs aside and started washing them. On the other hand, Toyama and Leng Tian were shocked; unexpectedly, the little devil did not have the hobby of eating alone, and he also knew how to find a companion to speed up work efficiency, and he could also gain favors by the way.
After eating and drinking, they chatted for a while while enjoying the sea breeze. Under the cover of Hushan and Lengtian, Luo Er happily waved his hand and accepted the clean tableware, tables and chairs, and then led his men to prepare to leave the cabin. Go to sleep; strolled to the cockpit and greeted the captain on duty with a smile. Just as he was about to walk away, his flushed face suddenly froze.
With a habitual awareness scan, Luo Er suddenly discovered that in an inconspicuous corner next to the helmsman's leg, a small square object with a small green light flashing quietly.
"Fuck, it's so damn dark," his dazed brain was suddenly awakened by a chill. He could think of the arrival of the officers and soldiers who boarded the ship for inspection with his heels.
Although he doesn¡¯t know the function of that thing, Luo Er can roughly guess that it should be an instrument indicating the direction. So, there is no extravagant hope of going back to the cabin to sleep tonight.
"Old Cui, go down and make a pot of tea, we still have a good show to watch," he ordered, and Luo Er walked steadily towards the bow of the ship with swaying steps.
Southwest of the Diaoyu Islands, the cargo ship was heading for Taipei along the waterway. It had just turned around the barren island. What caught Luo Er's eyes was the black shadow of the mast with a scarlet light shining on the sea in the distance.
"I'm so impatient, I'm dying." Looking at the dark sea around him, Luo Er took out a military compass and slightly calibrated the direction; inadvertently, from the corner of his eye, he captured the blurry black shadow in the distance. A bright light flashed, and his scalp couldn't help but tingle.
A faint light flashed again. Luo Er let out a long sigh and glanced regretfully at the captain in the cockpit. That guy with a smile on his face was enjoying life for the last time tonight.
"Enemy attack! Jump into the sea," Luo Er yelled. No longer hesitating, he jumped over the railing and jumped into the sea. Toyama and Leng Tian behind him hesitated for a moment, and then followed without hesitation. Behind, Ordinary and Ordinary also jumped down with all their strength.
Lao Cui, who was holding a teapot, had just walked out of the cabin. The sound of the officer's shout in his ears and the vigorous figure made him throw away the scalding tea in his hand and jump off the boat; Luo Er ordered In his and Toyama Ryota's hearts, it must be carried out immediately and to the letter.
"Ah, they, what are they going to do?" In the cab, the captain braced himself and looked carefully at the guests outside, but he did not expect that what suddenly happened in front of himThe unexpected incident made him dumbfounded.
"Quickly, stop the ship and save people." He hurriedly opened the hatch. The dizzy captain heard the heart-rending shouts of the sailors watching him. He looked up and saw a thick flame on the dark sea, burning a dark man. Long objects crowded his eyes.
"No," in the captain's alarmed cry, a "Whaler" X-1 missile developed by the main contractor McDonnell Douglas at the beginning of the year, under the guidance of the guidance signal, pounced head-on at the driver of the cargo ship. cabin.
Although the missile with a range of 80 to 160 kilometers is a test item among ten sample bombs, with the guidance of electronic signals, it can hit a slow-moving cargo ship five nautical miles away, basically with a handful of hands.
"Boom," the missile penetrated the hull in the blink of an eye, and the fifty kilograms of high explosives in the missile exploded suddenly, tearing a huge hole in the already weak hull, and the shock wave also shook the sailors resting in the cabin. Kill instantly.
Another gust of wind passed over his head. Luo Er, who was immersed in the seawater and swimming hard, saw the second huge missile body, followed by the cargo ship. "Boom," the second strike hit cleanly. The cargo ship of thousands of tons was cut into two sections, its head and tail stood up, and it fell into the cold sea water.
Luo Er waved his hand and threw out a rubber boat. Luo Er, who was all wet, climbed onto the boat, pulled the engine, and controlled the boat to pick up the three panting men. They buzzed before the whirlpool caused by the cargo ship arrived. The ground ran out of the whirlpool.
The rubber boat with increased horsepower followed the weak mast light and relentlessly caught up with the black shadow in the distance. Luo Er was just seeing a frigate turning slowly. On the mast at the stern, there was a blue sky and a white naval battle. The flag fluttered in the night wind.
"Okay, awesome. The foreign devils are pretty good at using borrowed swords to kill people," Bi Ya smiled, and Luo Er took out the weapons one by one, "Get ready to board the ship."
