A high-pitched and long whistle sounded on Pier 8.
"Cross! Cross!"
After hearing the whistle, the soldiers on guard duty around the pier all turned around, faced the port in unison, and saluted with attention.
"Frigate Dongdong Yao, Dongdong No. 2, set off!"
Leng Feng's order was transmitted to the frigate through the communicator.
"yes!"
The Tianlong special forces members on the two frigates received the order, activated the frigates at the same time, set off first, and sailed out of the port.
Lu Han stood steadily in front of the cab, holding on to the guardrail with both hands, squinting his eyes slightly, and gave instructions in a sonorous voice: "Weigh the anchor and sail the ship!"
"Yes! Captain!"
The first mate and other crew members in the cab shouted in response and started operating.
With a heart-wrenching sound of steel friction, a thick iron chain was slowly pulled up at the bow of the ship. Soon, an anchor weighing dozens of tons rose from the sea.
Then, the Chengfeng's whistle blew loudly, and it slowly started to leave the port.
The Breaker followed closely behind and also weighed anchor and set sail.
The remaining eight frigates followed the Breaker and set off.
Ten frigates protected Chengfeng and Breaking Waves in the middle, maintaining this formation and sailing towards the vast sea.
The red flag flutters in the wind.
This transport fleet, composed of two large cargo ships with a displacement of several tens of tons and ten frigates, set off from Liangang at noon and headed towards Banan Country on the other side of the ocean!
"I hope this trip goes well."
Lu Han looked through the glass of the cab to the sea in the distance and said slowly.
"It'll be okay." Lin Fan walked to Lu Han and said calmly.
Lin Fan said this in an extremely calm tone, as if he was stating a fact.
But strangely enough, after Lu Han heard these words, his nervous heart suddenly relaxed, and the pressure that had been weighing on his heart was also relieved a lot. It seemed that this young man said no
If something happens, it really won't happen.
His words seemed to have a magical power.
Lu Han let out a long breath, looked at Lin Fan, and said as if he was chatting with everyone: "Mr. Lin, to tell you the truth, this is the last time that I, Old Lu, go to sea. I have been drifting on the sea for most of my life. In the end,
I have even been to the North Pole. It happened to be winter. In January, the North Pole was really cold. The temperature was over 40 degrees below zero. Even many of the instruments on the ship failed in the low temperature environment. I have never felt that way in my life.
I will never forget that voyage. Let me boast, as an old man, that in the past few decades I have traveled extensively, visited many places, experienced many storms and waves, and seen many strange and strange things. However, when this mission is over, I will come back.
After that, I will officially retire. Haha, my little boy gave birth to a big fat boy for me some time ago. I’d better go back and have my grandson, hahaha..."
As he said that, Lu Han laughed happily.
When this tough-minded man talked about his grandson, his weathered face was full of tenderness.
Seeing Lu Han's expression, Lin Fan couldn't help but think of his mother and grandfather. Lin Fan seemed to still vividly remember their heartfelt joy and love when they saw Qiqi.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt much closer to Lu Han.
The two started chatting with each other, and got to know each other better.
During this process, Lu Han was talking most of the time and Lin Fan was listening.
Lu Han was usually serious and seldom talked, and he was unsmiling, but for some reason, he seemed to feel close to Lin Fan. Today he was particularly talkative and talked a lot about himself.
As an old sailor who has been wandering at sea for more than fifty years, Lu Han's experience is so rich that it can be compiled into a book and published. He has encountered thunderstorms that are rare in a century, encountered the most vicious pirates, and even
I once heard the beautiful song of a mermaid with my own ears. At that time, everyone on the boat seemed to be hypnotized. They unconsciously drove the boat off course and headed in the direction where the song came from. If it hadn't hit a rock midway and was forced to stop, it would still be possible.
I really don't know what will happen.
Of course, no one would believe this story about mermaids, but Lin Fan knew that Lu Han was not making up stories. The mermaid clan did exist, but their real names were not mermaids.
Mermaid is just a beautiful name given by human beings according to their own preferences and their shape. Just like human beings always name beautiful creatures with beautiful words, such as thrush, lark, etc. However, mermaids are not interested in this name.
They don’t agree, so they call themselves “mermaids”, which is the real name of mermaids.
During the chat, Lin Fan learned more about Lu Han.
Lu Han's family has made a living by fishing for generations. When he was sixteen years old, he went to sea for the first time with his father and became a sailor. He has been doing this for more than fifty years! He loves the sea deeply.
In love with boats, Lu Han always thought that he would work on the boat until he could no longer work. But when his grandson was born, Lu Han suddenly realized that it was time for him, an old captain, to dock.
At Lu Han's age, nothing can compare to his children and grandchildren.
In fact, Lu Han had submitted his resignation application two years ago, but the process had not been completed yet. When the process was completed after the Chinese New Year, he would officially retire. However, during the Chinese New Year, when Lu Han was holding his grandson at home, he received
When the call came from above, he was summoned back urgently, saying that he had an important task assigned to him.
Also recalled at the same time as Lu Han was another experienced captain, 58-year-old Song Dahai, who was also the captain of another cargo ship, the Breaking Waves.
Lu Han and Song Dahai are the two most experienced captains. They were also the candidates determined by the above after careful consideration and various considerations.
More experience, broad knowledge, qualifications, and ability.
Only such people can be qualified to serve as the two captains of this transport fleet.
"Mr. Lin, do you think someone will really come to rob supplies this time?" Lu Han looked intently at the endless sea in front of him and said, "Our great country stands in the east and its national power is getting stronger day by day. In the international arena,
The influence is also growing, does anyone really dare to take action on this batch of materials?"
Lin Fan smiled lightly and said in a relaxed tone: "There are still many people in this world who don't know how high the sky is. Of course, the end of these people is usually not good."
After hearing Lin Fan's words, Lu Han was slightly startled, then grinned.
This time it was not the kind of smile that twitched the corners of the mouth, but a smile that came from the heart and was free.
The prosperity and strength of the motherland is something to be proud of whenever we talk about it.
"Mr. Lin is right. They are just clowns. If they really dare to take risks, the consequences will definitely be unbearable for them!" Lu Han clenched his fist, looked at Lin Fan, and said seriously: "
Mr. Lin, there are a total of eighty-seven crew members on my ship, all of whom have received certain military training. Nearly one-third of the crew members have had experience fighting pirates! If necessary, we can pick up swords and guns.
, transformed into eighty-seven warriors, and defended the supplies to the death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Han, an old captain who was over sixty years old, stopped his posture, his face was resolute, and there was a bit of iron blood rising from his body.
This old captain with more than fifty years of sailing experience has successfully survived several battles with nature and pirates. How could he be a cowardly person?
Lin Fan smiled and said: "Don't worry, old captain, now that I'm on this ship, I won't let anything happen to it."
The voice that said this was not high-pitched, but it had a heroic and domineering air that could reach the sky.
It seems that those who are about to rob supplies are just a bunch of chickens and dogs.
