Chapter 2661: Friends and business

"Turn off the lights and turn off the engine." Crazy Horse suddenly shouted from behind the ship.
Sausage and others immediately turned off the engine and lighting, and the sound of the helicopter faintly came from a distance apart from the sound of the ocean tide. Jiang Jian said in a low voice, "It should be a large helicopter, the navy Osprey?"
"No Osprey didn't have such a big movement, it should be the CH-47 Chinook." Crazy Horse whispered, "Dual-engine, dual-rotor, it should be right. Everyone don't move, it shouldn't be directed at us. "
Lin Rui looked towards the distant sky, nodded and said, "It's true that they are not, they are heading towards the offshore platform. Now those hostages should be saved. But this is not good news for us. Once the hostages are taken Rescued, the U.S. warships will approach at full speed and wipe out these pirates in one fell swoop. We have to accelerate our retreat."
"With the speed of this ship, we should be able to leave this sea area soon. When the US military discovers the problem, we are already far away." Jiang An whispered.
The helicopter flying in the sky is indeed the Chinook helicopter of the US military, because there are a lot of people to be rescued this time, and the SEAL troops have already sent out a signal for help. Therefore, the U.S. military sent a Chinook helicopter, which also carried a group of naval special forces soldiers.
The helicopter did not notice the small boat on the sea under the darkness, but their mission required them to rush to the offshore platform to implement the rescue plan. So they didn't care about the small fishing boats of Lin Rui and others, but rushed to the offshore platform at full speed.
Seeing the arrival of the US military helicopters, the crew members who were taken hostage by the pirates were overjoyed and rushed to the platform to wave their hands. The naval special forces on the helicopter landed quickly, guarding the entrance on the one hand, and commanding the hostages to board the plane on the other. At this time, the rescue team of the Self-Defense Force finally rushed up, but apart from the US military and the hostages, there were no traces of pirates. Only a few empty ropes hanging on the flanks of the platform were found.
They concluded that the pirates must have escaped from here just now. However, this is the end of the matter, and no one can pursue it anymore, because the pirates have also found that the large helicopter has landed on the top of the huge platform and has begun to charge upwards. But this time with the support of the Navy's special forces, they simply couldn't rush up. This chaotic war eventually ended in the defeat of the pirates.
Just as the huge Chinook helicopter was fully loaded with rescuers and evacuated, the USS Peleliu was approaching. The Phalanx short-range defense weapon system on the assault ship immediately opened fire to cover the remaining seal forces and the naval special forces on the top of the platform.
This phalanx close-in defense system is widely used on surface combat ships of the U.S. Navy and more than 20 allied navies. It is a short-range defense weapon system developed for the purpose of counter-missiles. It was first developed by General Dynamics The company’s Pomona plant is manufactured, and it is currently manufactured by Raytheon.
The "Phalanx" proximity defense system is a product of the American Recion Company. More than 800 sets have been produced. It uses 6-tube 20mm M61A1 Gatling cannons to fire armor-piercing projectiles (APDS) with a rate of fire of approximately 3000- 4500 rounds per minute, 989 rounds of ammunition stored, and a range of about 1500 meters. This weapon was originally designed to deal with missiles. Its powerful overlapping interception firepower can effectively intercept incoming high-speed targets.
If used to deal with buildings and ships within range, it would be like a ruinous might. The pirates were immediately beaten up. Although the drilling platform ship was huge and strong enough to withstand sea storms, it could not withstand the rain of metal bullets. Fragments caused by high-speed bullets shot through the cabin were splashed. The pirates held the white flag for only two minutes. . Other pirates who wanted to escape by ship were also sunk by ship artillery.
The U.S. Navy ordered the troops to kill the resistance and remove the platform, but after counting, it was found that several members of the Japanese Self-Defense Force were dead and several missing. The point is that the US Navy SEAL Special Forces also suffered heavy losses. A total of more than a dozen SEALs were lost in this battle. Moreover, it is reported that there may be suspicion of leaking secrets in this operation, which made the US military a little frustrated, and the US Horn of Africa Command immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.
At the same time, Lin Rui and others reunited with Sea Snake Griffin somewhere in the Gulf of Aden.
Griffin looked at the boat of Lin Rui and others, and couldn't help shaking his head, "I said, brother, you stabbed a hornet's nest this time."
Lin Rui smiled slightly after boarding Griffin's ship, "Oh? How to say?"
"The Yankee lost a lot, and the loss was in the hands of a group of pirates they looked down upon. This made the proud Yankee almost mad." Griffin shook his head. "More importantly, they noticed that their plan of action had been leaked. This made the Americans even more annoyed. Are you stabbing a hornet's nest?"
"Then, you wouldn't report us?" Lin Rui smiled.
"I thought, but that would involve me as well. I don't want to make trouble?" Griffin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Besides, we are still a family anyway, and I can't do it for the sake of Silver Wolf. Betray you. By the way, give you this."
"What the is this?" Lin Rui frowned, taking something from him.
"A ship certificate, this thing can prove that your ship is a fishing boat belonging to a fishing company, and the latest log book can prove that you have not been in this sea during this period of time. It is a fishing boat that has just arrived here from South Africa. "Griffin shrugged. "With this thing, you can go to any port you want. Don't say I didn't help you."
"I understand, this time I also thank you very much. That's why I want this thing, at least in this way to avoid implicating you." Lin Rui looked at him. "With this fake ship, even if the Americans want to trace it, they will only find South Africa and won't get you out. Don't say I won't help you."
Griffin was taken aback, and then laughed, "Okay, that's great. No wonder even Silver Wolf looks at you differently. Boy, you do have one."
"There are ways to steal, and mercenaries have the rules of mercenaries. No matter who helps us, we should not get him into trouble. Otherwise, we will never have friends. Although it is a business, there is no more. My friend, business seems somewhat boring." Lin Rui watched Griffin push a piece of paper in his hand to him.
"What is this?" Griffin looked at Lin Rui.
"Your reward, I told Silver Wolf, your reward is still to be given. Your friendship with Silver Wolf is friendship. But business is still business." Lin Rui shrugged.
Griffin sighed, patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and said, "Looking at you, I know that I am really old. Fortunately, I have retired. Otherwise, I really won't be the opponent of your young people. . Courageous, careful, and old-fashioned. More importantly, you can make people fearful."
