At sea, it is very inconvenient to communicate with the outside world. In the earliest days, drift bottles were used. Once something happened, the crew information, ship name, sea area and other information were written on the paper, then stuffed into the bottle and tightened the stopper.
, throw it into the sea, hoping that someone will receive it and come to provide help. From a probability point of view, this method has little hope.
Only later, with the advent of radio, did external communications finally become more convenient, and all large cargo ships were equipped with radio stations.
However, the radio station installed on the Mingyuan cargo ship still uses an ancient electronic tube structure. After all, this cargo ship has been floating on the sea for more than 20 years. It was equipped with this kind of radio at that time.
Vacuum tubes burn out easily, so this type of radio cannot remain on standby and will only make contact when approaching a port.
Now, after hearing Qin Tao's instructions, the first mate quickly turned on the radio. Several tubes inside glowed red and began to warm up.
At this time, the two sides were still approaching rapidly, and everyone's hearts were tense. If the other party boarded the ship and seized the goods, what would they do next?
Just as they were worried, the radio station finished preheating, Qin Tao turned the knob, switched to the public channel, and shouted loudly inside.
"The freighter Mingyuan calls out to the great Red Flagship, the freighter Mingyuan calls out to the great Red Flagship! We are performing the task of transporting supplies to the Red Flagship, and now we are intercepted by an unknown speedboat. The other party claims to be a border guard patrol boat.
You want to forcefully board our freighter Mingyuan!"
This kind of radio station can only use voice calls and does not have the ability to send telegrams. At this time, Qin Tao can only give it a final try.
Make a voice call to the Pacific Fleet on a public channel so that not only those fleets can hear it, but also the patrol boats on the opposite side.
The other party dared to be so tough in front of itself because they wanted to seize it before the Pacific Fleet. Now, the Pacific Fleet has been notified of this cargo ship, so what should they do with their little patrol boat?
This small Zuk-class patrol boat has a full crew of 11 people. Only seven or eight people came out this time. After all, they came out to make a fortune.
That's right, it's about getting rich.
The Soviet Union in this era is like a dead tree, which has long been rotten inside. The border guards patrolling the sea are also carrying out a large amount of smuggling. As long as they are smuggled into the country, they can make a lot of money.
What is the KGB in charge of supervision doing? Of course it is using its own special channels to gain benefits for itself! Everyone is singing a song of victory and burying the huge red empire.
This time, I suddenly heard that the Navy was engaging in the same activity, still using cargo ships. The captain of this patrol boat, Warisi, was tempted. If he seized this batch of goods and then resold them, how much profit could he get?
In the face of interests, Wallisi decided to take a desperate risk, and took a few of his confidants to drive out in this patrol boat. They were very lucky, and they actually met him!
They immediately decided to board the ship for a tough inspection and then seize the goods. As for the navy's intervention afterwards? There is no need to think so much now, let's make a fortune first!
Just when they were approaching the Mingyuan freighter, they heard a call on the radio. Suddenly, Varisi's expression changed.
They want to handle this matter more secretly. Now, the other party actually calls openly on the radio. In this way, everyone knows! Even if it is seized, it has to be handed over, and it is difficult for it to fall into his own pocket.
It’s inside!
"Damn it!" Wallisi couldn't help cursing.
Then, another voice sounded on the radio: "We are the destroyer Stalwart responsible for welcoming the cargo ship Mingyuan. We are coming quickly. The supplies on your ship are related to the military secrets of the Red Flagship, and no one can know it.
If an unknown patrol boat wants to board the ship, we authorize you to use all tactics, including ramming! Long live the Red Flagship, Hula!"
Wallisi was dumbfounded.
Their small patrol boat has a displacement of only a few dozen tons. If you want to block the opponent's progress, you have to stand in front of the opponent. But now? The navy actually authorized the opponent to ram it!
If that large cargo ship collided with it, it could sink them directly! They might all die here. They came out to make a fortune, not to seek death.
Although their patrol boats have dual-mounted 12.7mm machine guns, they are only used as a deterrent. This type of machine gun may not necessarily be able to shoot through the steel plate of the freighter, and it may not be able to cause any damage to the opponent.
What should they do now?
Use a machine gun to intimidate the opponent?
The other party has obtained authorization from the Navy! And he ran out secretly. Even if something happened, his superiors would not let him take care of him.
Wallisi was in a dilemma when he heard the original call coming from the radio: "Mingyuan received it, we would rather have an accidental collision than let the other party board the ship!"
After saying that, another burst of Chinese was heard. Although he couldn't understand it, he could roughly guess that it was an order, something like preparing for a collision.
Sure enough, the cargo ship adjusted its bow course and rushed directly towards them!
In front of the tall freighter, their patrol boat was so small, as if there was a gap between an ant and an elephant.
"Turn around and return!" Varisi gritted his teeth, took one last look at the Mingyuan freighter, and then issued the order unwillingly.
The small patrol boat drew an arc on the sea, less than two nautical miles in front of the Mingyuan cargo ship, turned around and headed towards the coastline. The hull number of U128 was clearly visible.
On the freighter, everyone cheered in victory.
On the bridge, several people looked at Qin Tao with special eyes. Hao Kejian, who came with Qin Tao, even sighed with emotion: "Qin Gong, you are really amazing!"
Where was the response from the Red Flagship, and where was the destroyer Steadfast, everything just now was performed by Qin Tao alone! He first called, and then changed his voice, imitating Lao Maozi's answer.
Moreover, what Qin Tao was even smarter about was that when imitating the answer, he deliberately lowered the transmitting power of the radio station so that only ships within ten nautical miles could receive it.
This was all just to deceive the patrol boat on the opposite side. Moreover, the other side was obviously frightened and actually turned around and ran away!
"What's so great about me? I was just forced to unleash my potential." Qin Tao wiped the sweat from his forehead. If he couldn't scare the other party, was he really going to hit him just now?
