Chapter 669 The red flag flutters in the wind
The East's economy is developing and its comprehensive national strength is increasing. Of course, it must also reflect its role on the world stage. It is of great significance to escort the Gulf of Aden and persist in it for a long time.
Other countries may come to join in the fun, but they just show their faces. They will leave because they are short of money in their pockets. In the end, all the merchant ships sailing here have to rely on the escort ships from the east.
Although the US Navy is strong, their presence in the Arabian Sea is really not strong. The main routes of their merchant ships are the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and they do not need to protect their sparsely numerous merchant ships here.
A teacher of justice, a powerful teacher, and a peaceful teacher!
A ball of flame burned in everyone's hearts. Of course, they knew Qin Tao's intention to say this, and their shoulders shoulders shoulders with important missions!
"If the pirates come, we mainly need to expel them at a long distance." Qin Tao continued: "We can set up heavy machine guns at the appropriate position on the side of the warship, or use sniper rifles in a lie on the deck, and our detonating bombs are the best weapons to deal with pirates."
Hearing his words, Wang Shanfu couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Qin, we are driving a warship. What you said are the ways of fighting that millions of heroes crossed the river! Not to mention anything else, our gun aiming radar can lock on the pirate's speedboat, and then with a rapid fire, it can directly explode the pirate's speedboat."
"Yes, even if we don't use our main gun, we can use the 730 naval gun. With the dense projectiles, we can directly knock the pirate ship into a sieve!"
Everyone had already conducted these exercises on the way they came. Now, Mr. Qin’s suggestion was to make small fuss? Heavy machine guns, etc., where are the powerful naval guns?
"Everyone, think about it, what is our purpose?"
"Of course it's an escort!"
"Yes, we are escorts and bodyguards. Just like the ancient bodyguards, the bodyguards take escorts. Do we need to level those hamlets along the way?"
In ancient times, escorts were a risky job. After all, there were too many robbers on the road. If you fight and kill every time you go to a copycat, how many escorts would have to die? The escort agency would have to lose money long ago. In fact, escorts were based on popularity and knew the leader of the copycat. When passing by, you would drink a few bowls of wine and be filial to something and then pass by. If it really doesn't work, you will hit it. Even if you hit it, you will not be able to level the copycat, just breaking a way out.
The same is true for escort.
"We only need to use various weapons to drive away the pirates and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. We cannot kill the pirates and make a mortal enemy with them, so as to avoid the pirate leader being annoyed. In the future, we will specifically select our merchant ship to attack. Is that what does that mean?" Du Yu asked.
Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, that's what it means, driving away is the main purpose, but this does not mean that we are afraid of pirates. If pirates succeed and kick on our cargo ship, then we will have to kill all the pirates, take back the cargo ship, and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. Of course, it's better not to have such accidents, as it will be bad if our crew members suffer casualties."
Everyone nodded.
"Mr. Qin is right, let's follow Mr. Qin's plan!" Du Yu had heard that Mr. Qin is very powerful. Now, the general policy provided by Mr. Qin is still very suitable for the actual situation. No wonder before coming, he asked his superiors for instructions, and his superiors asked him to listen to Mr. Qin's opinions humbly.
"Okay, let's start now. I will train with you. When I finish this exercise, I happened to arrive at Shuangsha Island, where I got off the boat."
"Okay." Du Yu nodded.
The vigorous escort operation is about to begin!
The red flag flutters with the wind, our singing is loud, the people's navy moves forward, and the confidence in defending the motherland and the ocean is strong...
"Mr. Qin, our helicopter is about to take off. Do you go up and experience it?" Du Yu asked.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Forget it, it's too wasteful. When our formation is really carrying out the mission, we have to pay attention. If it is time to attack, it will take action, but we can't waste flying hours."
The takeoff of a carrier-based helicopter is subject to conditions.
If you take off and protect it overhead every time you escort, it will certainly be safer, but at the same time, this also means that the helicopter's dispatch rate will be very high. It is still secondary to consuming some aviation fuel. The key is that the helicopter needs maintenance, and it takes two days to maintain it in dozens of hours. After several escorts like this, all the helicopters carried by the formation must be under maintenance.
Helicopters should be prepared to be dispatched normally. Once there is an unexpected situation, they need to be taken off quickly. If there is no accident, then the escort is over and the helicopter is pushed back into the hangar.
However, this first escort requires taking off. They have to shoot this spectacular scene and send it back to China. The style of their formation will be shown in the news program tonight!
"Mr. Qin, do you want to go up and experience it?" Du Yu asked Qin Tao.
Qin Tao shook his head: "Training one more photographer has already occupied the Marine Corps space. What should I do when I go up?"
Although it was a shooting, once needed, it would still turn into an attack helicopter and drive out pirates. Therefore, there were still several soldiers on it, and there were even professional snipers who could shoot perfectly on the shaking helicopter, so Qin Tao had no need to go up and join in the fun.
"Our helicopter is still too small." Du Yu sighed.
Now, there are three main helicopters in the Navy.
The Z-8, which is copied from the French Super Hornet helicopter technology, has a take-off weight of 13 tons and has a large load, but at the same time it is also huge. Currently, only big guys like supply ships can carry them. You can't even think about ordinary warships.
The warships mainly use Zhiniao, which is a copy of the French dolphin helicopter. Its take-off weight is four tons and its fuselage is small. The 112 destroyer can carry two aircraft with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons. However, the air weight of this type of aircraft is two tons. In addition to the fuel and pilots, the load is only one ton, and it cannot hold a few people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Another type is the Ka-27 helicopter introduced by the Russian warship. This guy is suitable. The problem is that it is too high and can only be carried by Soviet warships. Domestic warships are still mainly directed by Zhijiu.
"Yes, we also need a ten-ton general-purpose helicopter, similar to the American Black Hawk. The Air Force should have already started to do it, and our Navy still has to wait."
The Black Hawk helicopter started in service in the 1970s and was used until the 21st century, and will continue to be used. Over the decades of life, more than 4,500 aircraft were produced, which is enough to show the excellence of this aircraft.
The Zhi-20, which was later developed in China, has the same appearance as the Black Hawk. Many people say that the Zhi-20 is a copy of the Black Hawk. Some people refute it, such as we have five rotors, two windshields, our warehouse is larger, etc. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether we imitate or not. The key is that we can have advanced helicopters produced by ourselves to meet the needs of the navy, army, air and army!
As for why it wasn't done by the Navy, of course it was because of limited funding.
The roar of the engine came from the deck, and the Zhijiu carrier-based aircraft took off from the deck, rose to the sky, and looked down, and the scene became even more spectacular.
The photographer exposed his upper half of his body outside, pointed the lens below, and started shooting excitedly.
Huge tankers, tall container ships, and bulk carriers, one of them is still with sails. The bow splits the waves and the sterns are slumped. This scene is rarely seen!
The first escort operation of the Chinese Navy was launched smoothly!
I don’t know if the pirates were shocked or were not strong enough. In short, the pirates did not come here to make trouble. The entire formation passed through the Gulf of Aden and entered the Red Sea in a mighty manner.
Wow, wow!
Cargo ships whistle sounded, and at the moment of separation, they used this way to say goodbye to the navy. Some people stood on the deck and waved to this side.
"A new journey has finally begun." Qin Tao also sighed: "From the future, our escort formation will be permanently stationed here, and will be rotated once every six months. A large number of officers and sailors of our navy can gain sufficient maritime experience."
This is the importance of escort in the Gulf of Aden, and in this way we train troops!
"Yes, for us, this is a new journey." Du Yu also sighed: "Mr. Qin, how long have you been on our boat?"
President Qin is a manager of thousands of things, and there are many things waiting for him. He is here to participate in the escort, but it is temporary. Now the first escort has been completed and various regulations have been established. Isn’t Qin leaving?
"Wait until I go back. After this trip, I will go back to Gwadar Port and return home from there."
After returning, he had to quickly arrange the Saudi aircraft carrier matters, and the bidding for domestic aircraft carriers was about to begin. Although it was just a process, he, the boss of Mingzhou Group, had to be on the scene, so that he would appear more serious.
That night, the huge scene of the escort formation passed through the TV signal and spread throughout the country, the whole world, and all Chinese people were in full bloom.
Our navy appeared in the Gulf of Aden, and our navy was escorting our merchant ships!
This is a great moment, and the journey of our national rejuvenation has begun!
Some foreign visions are of course still sour.
Humph, isn’t it just escort? Who can’t? Our empire has sailed all over the world since hundreds of years ago!
"Captain, the Orientals sent another broadcast. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, they will escort the Gulf of Aden from the Red Sea and ask the ships to gather in a certain sea area to wait." On the bridge of the Crystal Island cargo ship, the first mate Bruce said to Captain Richard: "If we stop and wait now, we can follow them tomorrow."
"What did you say? Follow the Eastern fleet and rely on the Eastern warships to escort it? No, we will never do this!" Richard said angrily: "The rice-shaped flag above our heads is our support. I want to see which pirate with no eyes dares to intercept our cargo ship. Do they want to die?"
"But, our ship is filled with valuable things..."
"Don't be afraid, those damn pirates, that is, bullying weak countries, such as Chinese freighters, will never dare to come to cause trouble for us. Moreover, we must be quick and continue sailing according to the original plan."
"But if we follow the original plan, we will pass through that sea area tonight."
"What's wrong with the night? Night is the safest. We passed by quietly, and the pirates didn't know at all. Yes, we couldn't see the surroundings clearly at night, but the pirates couldn't see us clearly. They sailed overnight tonight and would be able to reach their destination tomorrow afternoon. I don't want to continue floating on the sea. When we get on the shore, we should be happy!"
Bruce was very worried, but he had to listen to the captain.
When the sun shone the last trace of afterglow on the earth, the Crystal Island finally passed through the Strait of Mande and entered the Gulf of Aden, which was like a trumpet.
The night shrouded the sea area, including the land in the south, and on the coast, a group of people were talking.
"This is the best opportunity. We have to do a big vote and let the whole world know that our Somali Marines are strong!" said the young pirate leader Anadi.
Anadi is less than 20 years old this year, but he has been fighting for seven or eight years. In 1991, he was only 12 years old and was taken away as a soldier. In the military camp, although he was young, he was vicious, which made his superiors very satisfied. When he was 15 years old, he returned to the village and found that his parents were dead, so he burned the entire village and let everyone in the village bury his parents for their burial.
Later, he killed his superiors and established himself as king. At the same time, he turned his attention overseas. If he wanted to make a fortune and support enough troops, he had to rely on the mountains to live on the mountains and the sea to live on the sea!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "But it's night now. It's not easy for us to find goals on the sea, and the goals are very special..."
Bang! A gunshot.
Before the little leader who complained was finished, he was shot in his head, and blood and brain plasma splattered onto several other people nearby.
"Drag out!"
The body was dragged away, and the rest were trembling.
"Do you guys have any opinions?"
"No, we will definitely complete this mission."
"Hasan, go! After you come back, you will be the deputy captain of our Somali Marine Corps!"
"yes."
"Don't worry about not finding the target, its taillights are red."
When a ship sails at night, it requires a certain lighting signal, that is, navigation lights, which include: mast lights, side lights, tail lights, tow lights, round-light yellow flashes, control lights and flashes.
The taillight is arranged at the stern of the boat, shining at a space of 120 degrees at the stern, reminding the rear that the light is white, but, tonight, it will turn red!
Moreover, no one cares about the stern of the boat. If it falls at night, there will be no one who collects the body.
Hassan was stunned at first, and then reacted: There was an insider on the ship!
Hassan took his men out in a fishing boat. The fishing boat was a mother ship, and there were several speedboats on it as the main force of the sneak attack.
The night is getting darker and darker.
The Crystal Island was still on the move, and there was a silence around him, with only the sound of water. The crew members didn't know that several small boats had quietly started to move up!
superior!
Hassan took the lead and hung the ladder that had been prepared long ago on the side of the freighter.
In many detailed descriptions, pirates are described as martial arts masters, throwing a rope on the cargo ship, hanging the side of the ship with flying claws, and then they can climb up. In fact, there are few pirates with agility who can climb soft ropes, and there is no need to say that.
Isn't it good to get a small folding aluminum alloy ladder? Just climb the ladder and go up!
When Hassan climbed up, he was shocked and there was already a person standing there! He subconsciously pointed his gun at the person.
"Hey, don't shoot, I'll take you to the bridge!"
Your own person!
Chapter completed!
