    Hearing this siren, Brother Chen felt regretful. To be honest, he was just a young sailor when he was young, and he only encountered pirates once, but it was okay to pay the money that time, and the amount was not big.

    Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the South China Sea Fleet has been patrolling the vast routes in the South China Sea, and the rampant activities of pirates have been restrained. Although it is impossible to completely eliminate these pirates who burn, loot and loot in the South China Sea, large-scale piracy activities  Basically they have disappeared.

    What is left are some small pirate gangs. Even though the South China Sea Fleet is still sparing no effort to attack, these small groups of pirates rely on the many islands dotted in the South China Sea as cover to keep dealing with the South China Sea Fleet.  This has led to a situation in which large-scale suppression campaigns are inexhaustible and small-scale suppression campaigns continue.

    After the large-scale crackdown on pirates, the South China Sea has become much safer. It is difficult for many young sailors to encounter pirates. It is a rare encounter.

    However, I was actually encountered today!

    Brother Chen regretted that he was talking about whatever he was talking about. He shouldn't have talked about pirates just now.

    Although Brother Chen regretted it, he was not very panicked. After all, he was an old Hailong who had been running at sea for so many years. Brother Chen immediately asked the first mate to turn the helm and sail towards the nearest patrol area of ??the South China Sea Fleet.

    Brother Chen knows that in the waters not far away, there are often destroyers of the South China Sea Fleet patrolling every day to protect the merchant ships passing by. Brother Chen also knows that since the South China Sea Fleet vigorously suppressed pirates in the South China Sea a few years ago, pirates in the South China Sea have been  Their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced and many engine ships were destroyed. Then these pirates used sailboats that were more convenient for concealment to escape the encirclement and suppression of the South China Sea Fleet.

    Although the Chunlan is an old ship with more than ten years of age, its engine has just been replaced, and its maximum speed can reach 16 knots. As long as these pirate ships are not allowed to get too close, an engine ship with the advantage of faster speed can  You can still escape easily.

    This is also why there have been fewer incidents of pirates hijacking ships in recent years. Once pirates are discovered in advance by merchant ships, these merchant ships can easily escape by taking advantage of their superior speed as long as they are not too slow. Due to the significant reduction in profits, the piracy industry is not easy to mess with.  , some pirates had no choice but to do good.

    "However, the problem of piracy cannot be completely eliminated since ancient times. No, the pirates who have survived through many hardships have set their sights on the Chunlan. In the eyes of those pirates, the Chunlan is just a piece of fat.

    Brother Chen extremely calmly mobilized all the crew members. The deck was full of sailors running around shouting, adding coal, speeding up the ship, and even using the rarely used sails. The Chunlan swept away the harmonious atmosphere just now, and the entire ship mobilized.  Get up and make the Chunlan operate quickly. For Brother Chen, it is not easy to get rid of the pirates on these old sailing ships.

    Tang Jian also came to the cabin on the ship to help Brother Chen do some things. However, the black shadow behind him was getting closer and closer, and the speed was staggering.

    Brother Chen picked up the navigation telescope and took a look. He slumped down on the chair in the captain's cabin on the spot. His calmness was gone. He just kept saying: "This time, it's over, this time it's over!"

    "What's wrong?" Because the distance was a little far away, Tang Jian couldn't see the specific situation in the distance clearly.

    While Tang Jian was asking questions, the roar of turbines came from the distant sea. Tang Jian was startled and felt that something was not good. Tang Jian took Brother Chen's navigation telescope and took a look. It was indeed the case!

    What came to pursue the Chunlan was not a pirate sailboat, but a gunboat, a gunboat armed to the teeth and equipped with rapid-fire cannons.

    No wonder Brother Chen is so desperate. The result of the race between merchant ships and gunboats can be imagined.

    Chen Chusheng was nervous for a while and subconsciously touched his waist. When he boarded the ship from Hawaii, in order to prevent accidents, Chen Chusheng brought two Black Star pistols, while Tang Jian brought two of his favorite weapons.  of the Desert Eagle.

    But these weapons are simply insignificant in the face of armed pirates.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Tang Jian instructed the South China Sea Fleet to carry out the mission.

    As long as they don¡¯t resist too much and pay the ransom in time, under normal circumstances, these pirates will not harm the lives of hostages. After all, pirates also have professional ethics. If they kill hostages indiscriminately, who will believe them to pay ransom.

    Tang Jian has commanded thousands of troops all year round, so he is naturally calm and composed about this kind of thing. They are just a few small pirates. Tang Jian shook his head at Chen Chusheng and signaled him not to act rashly.

    At this time, Brother Chen was already frightened. After all, he was an honest and honest old sea dragon. When he saw such a heavily armed pirate for the first time, he was naturally confused.

    JustAt this time, a huge explosion sounded at the stern of the ship, and cannonballs several meters high hit the deck. The sailors on the ship were also frightened by the sound of the gunfire, and they all stayed in place and were at a loss.

    Tang Jian looked back and saw that the pirate gunboat had already come forward, and it was only a few hundred meters away from the Chunlan. After all, the Chunlan was a merchant ship and it definitely couldn't match the speed of the gunboat.

    Tang Jian remained calm in the face of danger, quickly commanded the sailors to stop the ship, and asked the people on the ship to hand over all their weapons and put them all on the deck.

    Since there is no way to escape, the only option now is to surrender. The purpose of handing over the weapons is not to arouse the hostility of the pirates. Although the pirates are basically more professional, they will not be merciful to those who dare to resist.

    ¡°Besides, not all pirates are moral, and there are scum among pirates. If pirates without professional ethics discover weapons hidden on the ship, the people on the ship may be thrown into the sea to feed the fishes.

    Suddenly something happened to the sailors, and everyone became extremely stupid. At this time, Tang Jian stepped forward, and the sailors also found their backbone. They knew that they could not escape today. They could have cannons, which was different from those pilots.  The sailors had no choice but to follow Tang Jian's instructions to stop the pirates in the sailboat and hand over all their weapons as instructed.

    At this time, Brother Chen also came to his senses, quickly helped to stop the ship, and immediately raised the white flag. Only then did the pirate gunboat stop its warning bombardment and sailed straight towards the Chunlan.

    When the pirates approached, Tang Jian asked: "Haven't the pirates been almost wiped out by the South China Sea Fleet? Why are there still such powerful pirates?" What Tang Jian said was the pirates with gunboats.

    Gunboats are not something that ordinary pirates can own, especially since the South China Sea Fleet has been increasingly combating pirates in the South China Sea this year. Needless to say, there are not many pirates with gunboats, and there are not many pirates with sailboats.  However, this was Tang Jian's first time going to sea incognito, and he didn't expect to encounter such a powerful pirate.

    Tang Jian could only smile bitterly and lamented his bad luck.

    Brother Chen seemed to be very afraid of this group of pirates. He glanced at the approaching pirate gunboats motionlessly and explained: "This pirate organization is called 'Lan Fang Barbarians'. It is a group of pirates that has risen in recent years. Although  The South China Sea Fleet has been sparing no effort to eliminate them, but Lan Fangman is very cunning. Their home base is still unknown, so they have survived to this day. And I don¡¯t know when they got two gunboats, and they have been rampant in the South China Sea since then.  Wuji, basically as long as he meets Lan Fangman, it¡¯s basically over.¡±

    Tang Jian asked curiously: "Didn't the South China Sea Fleet focus on suppressing this pirate?"

    Brother Chen sighed and said: "Suppression, why not suppress it? Last year, the South China Sea Fleet also fought a battle with Lanfang Man. In that battle, Lanfang Man suffered heavy losses, and also lost a gunboat. Lanfang Man's number  The number of robberies dropped sharply, so the number of robberies was also greatly reduced. However, after all, the foundation was not damaged. After recovering for a period of time, Lan Fangman began to plunder in the South China Sea again, but this time they learned wisely and tracked their whereabouts.  The South China Sea Fleet is helpless at all. There are so many merchant ships like us, the chance of encountering Lan Fangman is basically very small. Generally, it is hopeless if we encounter it. They have a female leader who kills without blinking an eye. Of course, she only  Killing those who dare to resist her, well, it¡¯s my bad luck, and my ship is completely finished.¡±

    Brother Chen was about to shed tears as he spoke. After all, this was his hard work for more than ten years. Now it is destroyed. How can it not be sad?

    Tang Jian finally understood that Lan Fangman was a caught fish. Although the South China Sea Fleet was powerful, it was unable to deal with such a small group of enemies whose whereabouts were erratic.

    Just like a lion, it is naturally not afraid of powerful beasts, but once it encounters a small mouse, the lion will be blind and unable to use its strength.

    Now the Nanhai Fleet is the lion, and Lan Fangman is the mouse, so they can't be exterminated repeatedly.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTLINE

    What Tang Jian didn't expect was that the pirates he didn't care much about at the beginning would actually be encountered by him today and fall into their hands.

    At this time, several ropes with iron hooks were thrown from the pirate gunboat to firmly secure the Chunlan. Several pirates with fleshy faces and sturdy bodies jumped onto the deck of the Chunlan.

    When Tang Jian saw these pirates, he couldn't help but laugh. These people still had pigtails from the Qing Dynasty. It seemed that Lanfang Man was either not informed or not very interested in China.

    The pirates who were the first to board the ship used the weapon decades agoThe gunfire was aimed at everyone on the ship, including Tang Jian. Seeing that these crew members were quite honest, several pirates lowered their guns and carefully inspected the Chunlan. They found that there were no ships on the Chunlan.  There were no hidden weapons, and they were all packed with goods, which made me smile immediately.

    Several pirates quickly waved to their accomplices on the gunboat below, and then a dozen more pirates boarded the Chunlan. A veiled female pirate was greeted. She must be the famous female leader of Lanfang Man.  .

    Tang Jian saw that the female pirate had nimble steps and a graceful figure. She did not look like a female bandit who had been galloping for many years, but more like a girl in her twenties.

    Is it possible that this barbarian leader Lan Fang is a beauty in her twenties?  Tang Jian thought in disbelief.

    ps: There was a power outage in the afternoon, so I didn¡¯t come until five o¡¯clock. I quickly coded it out. This is the first update today. There will be another update in the evening. It¡¯s a bit late. Sorry.
