The economy in the East is developing and the overall national strength is increasing. Of course, it must also play its role on the world stage. It is of great significance to escort the Gulf of Aden and persist in the long term.
Other countries may come to join in the fun, but they are just showing their faces, and they will leave soon because of lack of money. In the end, all merchant ships sailing here must rely on Eastern escort ships.
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 sparse merchant ships here.
The teacher of justice, the teacher of might, the teacher of peace!
Everyone's hearts burned with a flame. Of course they knew what Qin Tao meant by saying that. They shouldered an important mission!
"If pirates come, what we have to do is mainly to drive them away from a long distance." Qin Tao continued: "We can set up heavy machine guns at appropriate positions on the side of the warship, or we can use sniper rifles lying on the deck.
Yes, our detonation bombs are the most useful weapon against pirates."
After hearing what he said, Wang Shanfu couldn't help but speak: "Mr. Qin, what we are driving over is a warship. What you are talking about is the way a million-strong army crossed the river back then! Among other things, our artillery sighting radar
You can lock onto the pirate's speedboat, and then shoot it quickly with a single shot, destroying the pirate's speedboat directly."
"Yes, even if we don't use our main gun, we can still use the 730 naval gun. With the dense projectiles, we can directly smash the pirate ship into a sieve!"
Everyone has already conducted these exercises on the way here. Now, Mr. Qin's suggestion is to make a small fuss? Heavy machine guns and so on, where can there be powerful naval guns?
"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 bodyguards move, do they need to defeat those copycats along the way?"
In ancient times, escorting was a risky job. After all, there were too many robbers on the road. If they were beaten and killed every time they came to a village, how many escorts would die? The escort agency would have lost money long ago. In actual escorting,
One is relying on popularity, getting to know the leader of the cottage, drinking a few bowls of wine when passing by, paying homage to him, and then passing by. If it's really difficult, he will fight him. Even if he fights, he won't be able to level the cottage, he just breaks out.
It's just a road.
The same principle applies to escorting.
"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 cannot kill the pirates and form a deadly feud with them. This will save the pirate leaders from being annoyed and specifically select our merchant ships to attack in the future. This is
What do you mean?" Du Yu asked.
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, that's what it means. Eviction is the main thing. However, this does not mean that we are afraid of pirates. If the pirates succeed and board our cargo ship, then we will kill them.
, kill all the pirates, recapture the cargo ship, and let them know that we are not to be trifled with. Of course, it is best not to have such an accident, because it will be bad if it causes casualties to our crew."
Everyone nodded.
"Mr. Qin is right, we will follow Mr. Qin's plan!" Du Yu has long heard that Mr. Qin is very powerful. Now, the general policy provided by Mr. Qin is still very suitable for the actual situation. No wonder before coming here,
, he asked his superiors for instructions, and they asked him to listen to Mr. Qin’s opinions with an open mind.
"Okay, let's start now. I will train with you. After completing this exercise, we will arrive at Shuangsha Island, where I will disembark."
"Okay." Du Yu nodded.
The vigorous escort operation is about to begin!
The red flag flutters in the wind, our singing is so loud, the people's navy moves forward, and we have strong confidence in defending the motherland's oceans...
"Mr. 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 have to pay attention to attack when it's time to attack, but we can't waste flight hours."
The takeoff of ship-based helicopters is conditional.
It would of course be safer if every escort was taken off overhead for protection, but at the same time, it also means that the dispatch rate of helicopters will be very high. Consuming some aviation fuel is secondary. The key is that helicopters need maintenance.
Dozens of hours require two days of maintenance. After several escort missions, all the helicopters carried by the formation will be under maintenance.
Helicopters usually need to be ready for dispatch. Once there is an unexpected situation, they need to take off quickly. If there are no unexpected situations, after the escort is over, the helicopter will be pushed back to the hangar.
However, this escort needs to take off for the first time. They need to take pictures of this spectacular scene and then send it back to the country. Tonight's news program will show the style of their formation!
"Mr. 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. Why should I go up there?"
Although it is for shooting, if necessary, it will still turn into an attack helicopter to drive away pirates. Therefore, it is still equipped with several soldiers and professional snipers, who can make perfect shots on the shaking helicopter. Qin
There is 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 Zhiba is copied from the French Super Hornet helicopter technology. This aircraft has a take-off weight of 13 tons and a large payload. However, the body is also huge. Currently, only supply ships can carry it. Ordinary warships can't even carry it.
Don't think about it.
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. The 112 destroyer has a displacement of more than 4,000 tons and can carry two. However, the empty weight of this aircraft is
Two tons, plus fuel and pilot, the load is only one ton, which can't hold a few people.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The other one is the Ka-27 helicopter introduced with the Lao Maozi warship. This product is suitable. The problem is that it is too high and can only be made by Soviet warships.
To carry, domestic warships are still mainly Z-9.
"Yes, we also need a ten-ton utility helicopter, similar to the American Black Hawk. The Air Force should have already started working on it, but our Navy still has to wait."
The Black Hawk helicopter has been in service since the 1970s and has been used into the 21st century, and will continue to be used. In its life span of several decades, more than 4,500 aircraft were produced, which is enough to illustrate the excellence of this aircraft.
.
The Z-20 later developed in China has the same appearance as the Black Hawk. Therefore, many people say that the Z-20 is an imitation of the Black Hawk. Some people refute it. For example, ours has five rotors and two windshields. Our products
The warehouse is bigger, etc. In fact, it doesn’t matter whether we copy or not, the key is that we can have advanced helicopters produced by ourselves to meet the needs of the navy, army and air force!
As for why it was not done by the Navy, of course it was 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 downwards, and took pictures excitedly.
Huge oil tankers, tall container ships, and bulk carriers, one of which is still equipped with a sail, the bow of the ship splits the waves, and the stern of the ship rolls up waves. This sight is rarely seen!
The first escort operation of the Chinese Navy started smoothly!
I don’t know whether the pirates were frightened or lacked strength. In short, the pirates did not come here to cause trouble. The entire formation passed through the Gulf of Aden and entered the Red Sea.
Woo, woo!
One cargo ship after another blew its whistle, a way to say goodbye to the navy at the moment of separation. Some people stood on the deck and waved to this side.
"A new journey has finally begun." Qin Tao also sighed with emotion: "From now on, our escort fleet will be stationed here permanently and rotated every six months. A large number of our navy's officers and sailors can gain sufficient maritime experience.
.”
This is the important significance of escorting the Gulf of Aden, training troops in this way!
"Yes, this is a new journey for us." Du Yu also sighed: "Mr. Qin, how long will you stay on our ship?"
President Qin has many things to do, and there are many things waiting for him. He is here to participate in the escort, but it is temporary. Now that the first escort has ended and various regulations have been established, isn't President Qin going to leave?
"Let's wait until we go back. After this return trip, I will return to Gwadar Port and return to China from there."
After returning, he had to quickly arrange the Saudi aircraft carrier. Moreover, the bidding for the domestic aircraft carrier was about to begin. Although it was a matter of going through a process, he, the boss of the Mingzhou Group, had to be on site, so that he would appear solemn.
Some.
That night, the mighty sight of the escort formation was broadcast across the country and the world through television signals, 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, and our journey of national rejuvenation has begun!
Of course, some foreign opinions are still sour.
Humph, isn’t it just escort? Who wouldn’t? Our empire on which the sun never sets has been sailing around the world hundreds of years ago!
"Captain, the Orientals have sent out another broadcast. At nine o'clock tomorrow morning, they will escort out of the Gulf of Aden from the Red Sea and require ships to gather in a certain sea area and wait." On the bridge of the Crystal Island cargo ship, First Officer Bruce said to Captain Richard
Said: "If we stop and wait now, we can follow them there tomorrow."
"What are you talking about? Follow the Eastern fleet and rely on the Eastern warships to escort you? No, we will never do that!" Richard said angrily: "The Union Jack flag above our heads is our support, but I
We want to see which pirates who are short-sighted dare to intercept our cargo ship, will they risk their lives?"
"But, our ship contains valuable things..."
"Don't be afraid. Those damn pirates, those who bully weak countries, such as Chinese cargo ships, will never dare to come to us to cause trouble. Moreover, we must hurry up and continue sailing according to the original plan.
"
"However, if we go according to the original plan, we will pass through that sea area tonight."
"What happened at night? Night is the safest. We passed by quietly, and the pirates didn't even know. Yes, we can't see the surroundings clearly at night, but the pirates can't see us clearly either. Today
After sailing all night, we will reach our destination tomorrow afternoon. I don’t want to continue wandering on the sea. When we get ashore, it’s time for us to have fun!”
Bruce was very worried, but he had to listen to the captain.
When the sun shed its last rays of light on the earth, the Crystal Island finally passed through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait and entered the trumpet-like Gulf of Aden.
Night shrouded the sea, including the land to the south, and on the coast, a group of people were discussing.
"This is the best opportunity. We must do something big and let the world know that our Somali Marine Corps is powerful!" said the young pirate leader Anadi.
Anadi is not yet twenty years old this year, but he has been fighting for seven or eight years. In 1991, when he was only 12 years old, he was taken away to serve as a soldier. In the military camp, don’t look at
He was young, but he was very vicious, which made his superiors very satisfied. When he was 15 years old, he returned to the village and found that his parents were dead, so he burned the entire village and asked everyone in the village to bury his parents.
Later, he killed his superiors and established himself as king. At the same time, he set his sights overseas. If he wanted to make a fortune and feed a large enough army, he had to rely on the mountains and the sea to eat!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "But it is night now, it is not easy for us to find the target at sea, and the target is very special..."
Bang! There was a gunshot.
Before the little leader who had opened his mouth to complain had finished speaking, he had been shot in the head, and blood and brains splattered on several other people nearby.
"Drag out!"
The body was dragged away, and the remaining people were terrified.
"Do you have any opinions?"
"No, we will definitely complete this mission."
"Hassan, go ahead! When you come back, you will be the deputy captain of our Somali Marine Corps!"
"yes."
"Don't worry about not finding the target, its taillight is red."
Ships sailing at night require certain light signals, namely 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 of the ship, illuminating a 120-degree space at the stern of the ship. It reminds the rear that this light is white, but tonight, it will turn red!
Moreover, no one will care about the stern of the boat. If it is late at night, if it slips and falls, there will not even be anyone to collect the body.
Hassan was stunned for a moment, then realized: There is an insider on the ship!
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 and darker.
The Crystal Island was still moving, and the surroundings were quiet, with only the sound of rushing water. Unbeknownst to the crew, several small boats had quietly moved up!
superior!
Hassan took the lead and hung the ladder that had been prepared long ago on the side of the freighter.
In many detailed descriptions, pirates are described as martial arts masters. They can throw a rope onto the cargo ship, hang their flying claws on the side of the ship, and then they can climb up. In fact, few pirates who are agile can climb softly.
Besides, a soft rope is not necessary at all.
Wouldn't it be better to get a small folding aluminum alloy ladder? Just climb up the ladder!
When Hassan climbed up, he was startled. There was already a man standing there! He subconsciously pointed his gun at the man.
