Six hundred and twentieth chapters unexpected capture
Without using high-tech weapons such as missiles at all, the four destroyers quickly stepped forward and launched their own radio navigation torpedoes from a distance of 600 meters. Under the guidance of radio waves, the four torpedoes seemed to have eyes.
At a speed of forty knots, it drew a curved arc and quickly caught up with several Boston destroyers that were still advancing at a high altitude.
There was a roaring explosion. How could the Keeling-class destroyers with a displacement of just over a thousand tons withstand the power of heavy torpedoes? They sank quickly without any struggle. Because the destroyers sank so fast, the sailors had no time to react.
Gao Bo didn't even take any prisoners.
The freighter that wanted to speed up its escape was blocked by two destroyers that circled behind before it could reach full speed. After Gao Bo led a team to encircle it, the desperate freighter had no choice but to raise its flag and surrender.
"Immediately send troops on board to inspect. Be sure to search carefully and interrogate the crew members individually to see if there are any doubts." Gao Bo, who was very suspicious after the other party surrendered, immediately ordered to board the ship.
The armed sailors who boarded the ship quickly took control of all the crew members on the ship. Then the captain, first mate and others were interrogated separately, and the sailors also launched a detailed search. Of course, warships and cargo ships will not always be anchored here. During the search process,
Some sailors have already begun to operate cargo ships, and together with the cruiser formation, they are heading towards the Oahu Islands.
"Have you found anything?" After the sailors confirmed that the ship was absolutely safe, Gao Bo also came to the freighter.
"Report to the commander, according to the captain's instructions, about fifty tons of gold were found in the bottom tank." A sailor reported.
"Oh? Is there gold? Let's go over and take a look. This is a good thing worth 100 million Chinese yuan, which is close to 500 million yuan." Gao Bo was very excited when he heard the news. Not only would he be recorded for seizing this batch of gold,
For the last achievement, all sailors will also receive additional bonuses.
The sailors in the bottom cabin were busy counting the gold, while the nervous captain stood aside under the supervision of two sailors. Seeing Gao Bo coming in, a responsible officer immediately stepped forward to report: "Report to the commander, the gold has been counted.
There are a thousand and seventy-three fifty kilogram gold bricks, weighing more than fifty tons." Hearing the officer address him as Commander Gao Bo, the captain's body trembled obviously nervously, and his action caused Gao Bo to
of attention.
Gao Bo nodded calmly and said: "Very good, seal this place later, and then everyone can return to their posts. When the supply ship comes and transports the gold away, let the ship release them immediately."
As Gao Bo spoke, his eyes were fixed on the captain. He found that the captain was obviously relieved and the expression on his face relaxed. Gao Bo frowned. He knew that the captain must be hiding something, and it must be more than fifty tons.
Gold is something more important.
He came to the captain's cabin with the captain. Gao Bo found a chair and sat down. He reached into his arms and took out a cigar. He lit the cigar and took a puff and said: "Mr. Captain, I've shocked you.
The fussy hands and feet didn’t scare you, right?”
The captain forced a smile on his withered face and said, "No, no, your army has strict discipline and did not beat or scold us."
Gao Bo nodded and said, "That's good. I wonder where the gold comes from?"
When Gao Bo asked about gold, the captain quickly explained: "The gold was consigned by the military to us. It is said to belong to the Moss Kingdom Government."
Gao Bo nodded, and then he said strangely: "The Boston Empire controls complete sea control of the Prosperous Ocean. How can it go to the Eastern Ocean to transport gold? What's more, there are land transportation lines, so why transport it by sea."
The captain said: "Although the Tempest Ocean is under the control of our country, your country's submarines are too powerful and our navy can't do anything about it. It is not as safe as the Eastern Ocean. As for the land, the border guards and the air force of the St. Martin Empire have been frequently patrolling
The bombing and harassment by a large number of guerrillas sent by Karges made it even more unsafe."
Gao Bo smiled and nodded: "The captain is so clear about the situation. It seems that he is not as simple as a civilian ship captain."
Gao Bo's words made the captain's hands tremble, and his whole body tensed up. He then explained: "I retired from the navy, and I have some friends in the military. They all told me this news."
Gao Bo smiled and said: "It turns out that you are a retired military officer. No wonder I entrust you with such an important job of escorting gold."
The captain said with a smile: "Yes, yes."
Gao Bo smiled and said: "Mr. Captain, you have a heavy responsibility. It seems that your mission is not just fifty tons of gold. You should leave the real thing to me for escort."
"This... No, absolutely not. Isn't the responsibility of transporting fifty tons of gold not big enough?" The captain's face turned pale instantly, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his whole body was trembling slightly.
Gao Bo was just suspicious at first, and his words were just to scare the other party. He didn't expect that the captain didn't have much money. After Gao Bo tried it for a while, he became so frightened. In this way, Gao Bo became more sure in his heart.
Looking at the captain who was shaking like chaff, Gao Bo said: "You know our army's policy. If we hand over all the prisoners, we will naturally treat the prisoners preferentially. If you don't cooperate, I can't guarantee your life safety. Maybe I should let you go first."
Try the torture of our Chinese Imperial Navy. Someone, tie the captain to the side of the ship, submerge his legs in the water, and remember to make two incisions on his legs." Gao Bo said, behind him
Two sailors were about to step forward, but the captain was frightened and backed away.
The captain, who had been living at sea for a long time, immediately understood the meaning of Gao Bo's words. He cut a wound on his leg and immersed it in seawater. The wound would be so painful that it was soaked in salt from the seawater. And this pain was not the most terrible thing.
The blood flowing out of the wound will attract sharks, and he will definitely die without a burial place, at least his legs will not be saved.
Thinking of the horror of having his legs bitten off, the captain was so frightened that he was shaking like chaff, big drops of sweat rolled down his forehead, and his face turned pale.
"I said, I said." The captain said immediately, not daring to hide any more: "The gold is only part of this escort, the rest is in my safe."
Gao Bo waved his hand and said sternly: "Go and take it out for me." The captain was so frightened that he nodded repeatedly. He took out the key and walked to the cabinet in the corner. A sailor immediately followed him.
With the help of the sailor, the captain pushed the cabinet aside with great effort. He knelt on the floor, stretched out his trembling hands and groped on the bulkhead, and soon opened a small door on the seemingly complete bulkhead.
Inside is the keyhole and password disk of the lockbox.
