Chapter 670 The red flag flutters with the wind

  The economy of the East is developing, and the overall national strength is increasing. Of course, it must also reflect its role on the world stage. It is of great significance to **** the Gulf of Aden and persist in it for a long time.

  Other countries may also come to join in the fun, but they are just showing their faces, and they will leave soon because of their lack of money. In the end, all merchant ships sailing here have to rely on the **** ships of the East.

  Although the U.S. Navy is powerful, 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 few merchant ships here.

  A teacher of justice, a teacher of might, a teacher of peace!

  Everyone's hearts were burning with flames. Of course they knew what Qin Tao meant by saying that, and they had an important mission on their shoulders!

"If the pirates come, what we need to do is to expel them from a long distance." Qin Tao continued: "We can set up heavy machine guns at appropriate positions on the side of the warship, or use sniper rifles in a prone position on the deck. Yes, our detonation bombs are the best weapon against pirates."

Hearing his words, Wang Shanfu couldn't help but said: "Boss Qin, what we're driving over is a warship. What you're talking about is the way millions of soldiers crossed the river back then! Besides, our artillery radar It can lock on to the pirate's speedboat, and then shoot the pirate's speedboat directly with one quick shot."

   "Yeah, even if we don't use our main gun, we can use the 730 naval gun, relying on the dense projectiles, we can directly smash the pirate ship into a sieve!"

   The big guy has already carried out these exercises on the way here, and now, Mr. Qin's suggestion is to make a small fuss? Heavy machine guns and so on, where there are naval guns that are powerful.

   "Everyone, think about it, what is our purpose?"

   "Of course it's an escort!"

   "That's right, we are escorts and bodyguards, just like the ancient bodyguards. When the bodyguard walks the bodyguard, do we need to level up those cottages along the way?"

  In ancient times, dart walking was a risky job. After all, there are too many robbers on the road, if they fight every time they go to a cottage, how many bodyguards will die? Escort has long lost money. Actual dart walking, one is based on popularity, knowing the leader of the cottage, drinking a few bowls of wine when passing by, and paying filial piety to something, and then passing, if it is not enough, you will go there, even if you pass, it is impossible to give the cottage to the ordinary Yes, it's just a way out.

   Escort is also the same.

"We just need to use various weapons to drive away the pirates, and let them know that we are not easy to mess with. We can't kill the pirates, and form a deadly enmity with them, so as not to annoy the pirate leader. In the future, we will specially select our merchant ships to attack. This is it. Do you mean it?" Du Yu asked.

Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, that's what it means, driving away is the main thing, but it doesn't mean that we are afraid of pirates. If pirates succeed and board our cargo ship, then we will kill them." , Kill all the pirates, take back the cargo ship, and let them know that we are not to be messed with. Of course, it is best not to have such an accident, it would be bad if it caused casualties to our crew.”

  Everyone nodded.

"President Qin is right, let's follow President Qin's plan!" Du Yu has long heard that President Qin is very powerful. Now, the general policy provided by President Qin is still very suitable for the actual situation. No wonder that before coming here He asked his superiors for instructions, and the superiors asked him to listen to Mr. Qin's opinions with an open mind.

   "Okay, let's start now. I will train with you. When the exercise is completed, I will arrive at Shuangsha Island, where I will disembark."

   "Okay." Du Yu nodded.

  The vigorous **** operation is about to kick off!

  The red flag is fluttering with the wind, our singing is loud and clear, the people's navy is moving forward, and the confidence to defend the motherland's oceans is strong...

   "Boss Qin, our helicopter is about to take off, would you like to go up and experience it?" Du Yu asked.

  Qin Tao shook his head: "Let's forget it, it's too wasteful. When our formation actually performs its mission, we must also pay attention to it. We should attack when it is time to attack. However, flying hours cannot be wasted."

  The take-off of the carrier-based helicopter is conditional.

  If every **** takes off overhead for protection, of course it will be safer, but at the same time, this also means that the helicopter dispatch rate will be high. The consumption of some aviation fuel is still secondary. The key is that the helicopter needs to be maintained, and it takes two days to maintain after dozens of hours. After several escorts, all the helicopters carried by the formation have to be under maintenance.

  Helicopters are usually ready for dispatch. Once there is an accident, they need to be lifted into the air quickly. If there is no accident, after the **** is over, the helicopter will be pushed back into the hangar.

  However, this **** needs to take off for the first time. They need to take this spectacular picture and send it back to China. The news program tonight will show the demeanor of their formation!

   "Boss Qin, do you want to go up and experience it?" Du Yu asked Qin Tao.

  Qin Tao shook his head: "Bringing one more photographer will already occupy the space of the Marine Corps. What am I going to do?"

Although it was filming, if necessary, it would turn into an attack helicopter to drive out pirates. Therefore, there were still a few soldiers on board, and there were even professional snipers, who could shoot flawlessly even on a shaking helicopter. Qin There was no need for Tao to go up and join in the fun.

   "Our helicopter is still too small." Du Yu sighed.

  Currently, there are three main types of helicopters in the navy.

The straight-eight imitated from the French Super Hornet helicopter technology, this kind of aircraft has a take-off weight of 13 tons and a large load, but at the same time the body is also huge. At present, only the big guys like the supply ship can carry it. Don't even think about it.

The warships mainly use the Z-9, which is an imitation of the French Dolphin helicopter. It has a take-off weight of four tons and a small body. With a displacement of more than 4,000 tons, the 112 destroyer can carry two. However, the empty weight of this aircraft is Two tons, plus fuel and pilots, the load is only one ton, which can't hold a few people.

  The other is the Ka-27 helicopter introduced with the Lao Maozi warship. This product is suitable, but the problem is that it is too high and can only be carried by Soviet-made warships. The domestic warships are still mainly Zhijiu.

   "Yes, we still need a 10-ton general-purpose helicopter, similar to the American Black Hawk. The Air Force should have already started working on it. Our Navy still has to wait."

The Black Hawk helicopter has been in service since the 1970s and has been used until the 21st century, and it will continue to be used. In the decades of life, more than 4,500 aircraft have been produced, which is enough to illustrate the excellence of this aircraft up.

The Zhi-20 developed later in China has the same shape as the Black Hawk. Many people say that the Zhi-20 is an imitation of the Black Hawk. The warehouse is bigger and so on. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is imitation or not. The key is that we can have our own advanced helicopters to meet the needs of the sea, land and air forces!

  As for why the navy is not doing it, of course it is because of limited funds.

  The roar of the engine came from the deck. The Z-9 carrier-based aircraft took off from the deck and rose into the sky. Looking down, the scene was even more spectacular.

  The photographer exposed the upper half of his body, pointed the camera down, and started shooting excitedly.

  Huge oil tankers, tall container ships, and bulk carriers, one of which is still sailing, the bow splits the waves, and the stern turns waves. This scene is rarely seen in ordinary times!

  The first **** operation of the Chinese Navy started smoothly!

   I don’t know whether the pirates were deterred or lacking in strength. In short, the pirates did not come here to make trouble. The entire formation passed the Gulf of Aden and entered the Red Sea.

   Woo, woo!

  Cargo ships blew their whistles. At the moment of parting, 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 is also very emotional: "From now on, our **** formation will be stationed here, and it will be rotated every six months. A large number of officers and sailors in our navy can gain sufficient sea experience .”

  This is the significance of escorting the Gulf of Aden, and training troops in this way!

   "Yes, this is a new journey for us." Du Yu also sighed: "President Qin, how long will you stay on our ship?"

  President Qin has a lot of opportunities, and there are many things waiting for him. He is here to participate in the escort, but it is only temporary. Now that the first **** is over and various procedures have been established, President Qin is leaving?

   "Wait until I go back. After this return trip, I will return to Gwadar Port and return to China from there."

After returning home, we have to quickly arrange the matter of the Saudi aircraft carrier, and the bidding for the domestic aircraft carrier is about to start. Although it is a matter of going through a process, he, the boss of the Mingzhou Group, has to be on the scene, so that he will appear solemn Some.

  That night, the mighty scene of the **** formation passed the TV signal and spread throughout the country, the whole world, and all the people in the country were excited.

  Our navy has appeared in the Gulf of Aden, and our navy is escorting our merchant ships!

  This is a great moment, the journey of our national rejuvenation has begun!

  Some foreign eyes are of course sour.

  Hmph, isn't it the escort? Who wouldn't, our empire on which the sun never sets has sailed all over the world hundreds of years ago!

"Captain, the Orientals have sent out another broadcast. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, they will **** out of the Gulf of Aden from the Red Sea and ask the ships to gather in a certain sea area and wait." On the bridge of the cargo ship Crystal Island, the first mate Bruce told Captain Richard Said: "If we stop and wait now, we can go with them tomorrow."

"What are you talking about? Follow the Eastern fleet and be escorted by Eastern warships? No, we will never do that!" Richard said angrily: "The Mi Ziqi above our heads is our reliance. Let's see, which pirates who don't have eyesight dare to intercept our freighter, don't they want to die?"

   "However, our ship is loaded with valuables..."

"Don't be afraid, those **** pirates are just bullying weaker countries, such as Chinese freighters, they will never dare to trouble us, and we must hurry up and continue sailing according to the original plan. "

   "However, if the original plan is followed, then we will pass through that sea area tonight."

"What's the matter at night? Night is the safest time. We passed quietly, and the pirates didn't even know it. Yes, we can't see the surrounding situation clearly at night, but the pirates can't see us clearly either. Today After a night of sailing at night, I will be able to reach my destination tomorrow afternoon, I don’t want to continue to drift on the sea, and when we land on the shore, we should have fun!”

  Bruce was very worried, but he had to listen to the captain.

  When the sun cast the last ray of light on the earth, the Crystal Island finally passed through the Mandeb Strait and entered the Gulf of Aden, which is like a trumpet mouth.

  The night shrouded the sea area, including the land to the south. On the coast, a group of people were discussing there.

   "This is the best opportunity. We must do something big and let the world know that our Somali Marine Corps is strong!" said the young pirate leader Anadi.

Anadi is not yet 20 years old this year, but he has fought for seven or eight years. In 1991, he was taken away as a soldier at the age of 12. In the barracks, don’t look He was young, but he was vicious, which made his superiors very satisfied. When he was 15 years old, he went back to the village and found that his parents were dead, so he set fire to the whole village and asked everyone in the village to bury his parents.

  Later, he killed his superiors and made himself king. At the same time, he set his sights overseas. If he wanted to make a fortune and support enough troops, he had to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the sea to eat the sea!

   "However, it is night now, it is not easy for us to find the target at sea, and the target is very special..."

  Boom! A shot rang out.

   Before the little leader who complained could finish speaking, he was shot in the head, and blood and brains splashed on the bodies of several other people nearby.

   "Drag out!"

  The body was dragged away, and the rest were trembling.

   "Do you have any comments?"

   "No, we must complete this mission."

   "Hassan, you go! After you come back, you will be the deputy captain of our Somali Marine Corps!"

"yes."

   "Don't worry about not being able to find the target, its tail lights are red."

  Ships sailing at night need certain light signals, that is, navigation lights, which include: mast lights, side lights, tail lights, towing lights, all-round lights, all-round yellow flashing lights, steering lights and flashing lights.

  The tail light is arranged at the stern, illuminating the 120-degree space at the stern, as a reminder to the rear, this light is white, but tonight, it will turn red!

  Besides, no one cares about the stern of the boat. In the middle of the night, if you slip and fall, there is no one to collect the body.

  Hassan was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: there is an internal response on board!

  Hassan took his men and drove out in a fishing boat. The fishing boat was the mother ship, and there were several speedboats on it as the main force of the sneak attack.

  The night is getting darker.

  The Crystal Island is still moving, and the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of splashing water. The crew members don't know that several small boats have quietly started to come up!

superior!

  Hassan took the lead and hung the ladder he had prepared long ago on the side of the freighter.

In many detailed descriptions, the pirates are described as masters of martial arts, throwing a rope on the cargo ship, the flying claws hang on the side of the ship, and then they can climb up. In fact, few pirates who are agile can climb softly. Soft rope, besides, is not necessary at all.

   Wouldn’t it be nice to have a small folding aluminum alloy ladder? Just climb up the ladder and go up!

   When Hassan climbed up, he was taken aback. There was already a person standing there! He subconsciously aimed his gun at the man.

   "Hey, don't shoot, my own people, I'll take you to the bridge!"

  My own people!
