Chapter 172: Pirate mothership

I just set up the route and ready to go, but someone on the radio is calling me.
"Vladimir, Vladimir. This is Tianyu 3. If you hear it, please answer." An English call came on the radio.
"Tianyu III? How does the name of this ship look like a Huaxia ship?" Xiao Peng thought for a while, tried to ask in Chinese: "This is the Vladimir, what's the matter?"
"Oh? A Chinese fellow?" A surprise voice came from the radio.
"I didn't expect to hear the accent from such a distance from home." Xiao Peng was also excited. When the fellow sees the fellow, his eyes are full of tears. As long as he is out of Huaxia, no matter the Huaxia people in the world, he is a fellow.
There was a burst of laughter on the radio: "Haha, I saw your ship on the communication channel. I thought it was Lao Maozi's ship. Under my introduction, I am He Jianye, the captain of Tianyu III. I want to ask you if I contacted you. Ask if you are interested in joining the formation."
"Formation? Didn't the fleet return to China?" The Huaxia fleet has returned to China. Where did the formation come from?
He Jianye smiled and said: "It is a spontaneous formation to improve the safety of passing through the Gulf of Aden. Now 13 ships have gathered together and are waiting to pass through the Gulf of Aden together. Isn't it large and powerful?
Xiao Peng immediately responded: "This is a good thing, I will join the formation."
He Jianye informed Xiao Peng of the coordinates, and Xiao Peng directly sailed to the gathering point. Sure enough, more than a dozen ships have already gathered together, waiting to pass through the Gulf of Aden together.
Xiao Peng hadn't approached, but received a radio signal notification prohibiting advancement.
"What does this Nima mean? Let us come but not let us come near?" Yang Meng was angry.
At this time there was another call from the radio: "Captain Xiao, I am He Jianye. Can you hear it?"
Xiao Peng picked up the radio: "Captain He, what's the matter? I just arrived at the gathering point but was told that I could not move forward?"
He Jianye froze for a while: "You said that the boat with the Chinese flag just now was your Vladimir?"
Xiao Peng was speechless. The ocean fishing boat of more than 40 meters is the boat in your mouth? But I looked at the ships moored there. Well, they are all cargo tankers with a length of two to three hundred meters. Compared with them, they are indeed small boats. . . . . .
"Yes." Xiao Peng could only admit.
"Okay, come here. By the way, join the communication group. The channel is CH104." He Jianye warned.
As soon as Xiao Peng joined the channel, he heard a group of people laughing wildly.
"Gina, what are they talking about?" Xiao Peng stopped to a safe position and asked Gina behind him.
Gina replied: "Someone asked the Captain He just now, saying whether our ship was born on Tianyu-3, and that such a small ship also came to join in the fun? We also need to pay the protection fee. Captain He is arguing with them. "
Xiao Peng didn't get angry and switched channels directly: "Captain He, which grandson talks so much?"
He Jianye was obviously also angry: "Ma De, I am mad, it is MOL and NYK's boats that are okay and troublesome!"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he became even more angry: "These Japanese grandchildren, are they looking for death?"
NYK and MOL are both Fortune 500 companies. You must know that there are only four shipping companies among the Fortune 500 companies, and the Japanese monopolizes the second. Cargo ships of these two companies can be seen on almost any route in the world. In this temporary formation, there are eight ships of these two companies.
"Okay, Captain Xiao, don't be angry. Let's take care of you when you are away. Don't delay business because of these nonsense. Don't worry about the protection fees they say, and leave the Gulf of Aden. "He Jianye persuaded.
Xiao Peng thought for a while, too, it's not worth it to keep his breath now, wait until he leaves the Gulf of Aden to settle accounts with them!
Xiao Peng simply turned off the radio, looking out of sight and not bothering, and waited to start the call.
Three hours later, the formation finally got all the members and set sail.
However, in this fleet, Vladimir is indeed the smallest ship, and the smallest of the remaining ships is also 150 meters upward. In the end, the formation did not collect Xiao Peng's so-called "protection fee," but let the Vladimir sail at the top of the formation.
This shows bullying, Xiao Peng wants to leave the formation directly, isn't he a pirate? Isn't the ship without weapons? Besides, Mind is acting as a radar, afraid that you can't avoid pirates? If it wasn't because He Jianye contacted him and heard the voice of the fellow villager that he was too happy, Xiao Peng would not join the formation, the speed is still slow.
He Jianye has been persuading him and accompany him to sail at the forefront of the fleet. Xiao Peng then agreed to stay in the formation.
"Captain Xiao, your temper is really hot, isn't it the first time to go ocean?" He Jianye and Xiao Peng chatted.
Xiao Peng picked up the radio: "Captain He, how did you know?"
He Jianye smiled and said: "When I first went to the ocean, I was like you, young and vigorous, and violent. Now for so many years, there have been too many things like this. I've already taken it off."
"Made, do these people think our Huaxia people are easy to bully?" Xiao Peng cursed.
He Jianye's tone was full of helplessness: "In the final analysis, it is our Huaxia people who did it themselves. Huaxia people are still too accustomed to tolerating.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Just like this time?"
He Jianye didn't know how to answer the conversation. This time Xiao Pengren allowed it to be really because of He Jianye's persuasion.
Xiao Peng originally didn't want to say anything more. After hearing He Jianye's words, Xiao Peng really had a big fire, and he must find a way to teach these Japanese grandchildren.
But what is the method? With so many giant oil tankers, you are really powerless, do you take out RPG to bomb them? That is really an international dispute. Mad, it’s really impossible to cross the Gulf of Aden, and it’s okay to find a way to get on their boat and beat them out. Ok, deal!
Xiao Peng was still there thinking about how to retaliate, but Yang Meng, who was driving the ship, called him: "Xiao Peng, there is an oil tanker on our right in front of us. It seems to be on the same route as us, with the Panamanian flag, and the name of the ship is unclear. . I think there seems to be a problem with this ship."
Xiao Peng looked at it, and there was a huge ship slowly moving forward on the sea in the distance. It seemed to be outdated. However, such ships are very common on ocean routes. Xiao Peng has seen even more broken ships. As long as they can make money, What about taking some risks?
"What can be the problem with such a ship? Can such a slow ship be sent out for robbery? Can it catch up with us? Don't talk about us, it can't catch up with the big tankers behind."
Yang Meng pointed to the electronic route map and said, "If we follow its current direction, we will meet with it in an hour. And don't you think the ship has too shallow draft?"
When Xiao Peng heard this, he took the binoculars from Yang Meng and took a closer look. As expected, the oil tanker had a very shallow draft and obviously had no cargo. This is a place two hundred nautical miles away from the coastline. What does an unloaded oil tanker do here? Even if an oil tanker is unloaded, it will be stocked on the return journey. How could it be possible that the empty ship would come here?
Xiao Peng's thoughts turned, he directly plunged his mind into the sea, and quickly approached the tanker to find out.
When the mind clone approached the tanker, Xiao Peng didn't notice any problem with the tanker, but when Xiao Peng's mind clone reached the other side of the tanker, Xiao Peng really found it.
This is really a pirate ship. There are more than ten small speedboats tied to the other side of the tanker. Each speedboat is full of pirates holding RPG and AK. The pirates are talking and laughing while taking drugs. It doesn't feel like you are going out to rob, it's more like a spring outing.
Xiao Peng quickly retracted his mind clone and turned on the radio: "A pirate ship was found on the right front of the route."
Who knows that what came from the radio was indeed a ridicule: "Children China, are you scared? You see the ship and call it a pirate ship? If the broken tanker is a pirate ship, I am a cruiser of Stars and Stripes!"
"Don't laugh at him. Maybe now he is scared to pee."
"The sea is not where boats like yours come to play."
"It's funny, but pirates have been found? This is 200 nautical miles away from the coast of Somalia. The small speedboats of Somali pirates are out of fuel before they wait here."
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "Okay, in that case, I will leave the formation and you will change the ship and pilot."
All that should be reminded is reminded that it is not my business to do your own death.
Xiao Peng didn't even think about it, so he had to change the route and sail in the direction of Yemen. "Captain He, you will follow my ship right away, I'm not kidding, the pirates are really here."
Xiao Peng thought he would listen to him if he had to persuade He Jianye more, but he didn't expect that He Jianye had already changed the course and left the formation earlier than himself.
He Jianye's outspoken laughter came over the radio: "Of course I believe my fellow villager, you don't need to say that I have followed."
Xiao Peng was a little puzzled: "Captain He, you trust me too much, right? Is there something wrong?"
He Jianye's voice came: "I recognized them when I saw it just now. It is the pirate mothership of the Puntland Guard! A broken ship with a group of small speedboats, specializing in raids!"
Xiao Peng was a little surprised: "Captain He, how did you know?"
The so-called ‘Puntland Guard’ is one of the four largest pirate organizations in Somalia and the largest. They are well equipped and fierce firepower. Moreover, all of them are desperadoes, taking drugs before every robbery, and they have a life-threatening mentality of becoming benevolent if they fail.
He Jianye sighed: "I was hijacked by them in a similar way. Fortunately, there was an fleet that saved me. However, I have a deep memory of their method. I pretend to be a lonely person and approach the target before putting it down. The speedboat quickly approached the robbery."
"Then why didn't you remind them just now?"
"Did you remind them? They don't believe it, and blame us?"
Xiao Peng was happy, Captain He wasn't as kind as he thought. This is waiting to see the lively rhythm!
but. . . . . .
I like!
