Chapter 1879 Pirates
Sometimes I really have to sigh, the more ignorant the more fearless.

Even the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy had to weigh the consequences of shooting at southern African merchant ships, but the patrol boats of the Brazilian military government did not hesitate at all. Probably the captain of the patrol boats felt that Brazil had the strength to compete with southern Africa.

After all, it is still on other people's territory. If it is Portugal, it will probably bear it, and the suzerain country must also speak "International Law".

Southern Africa will not tolerate it, even facing Portuguese patrol boats, let alone Brazil.

It is not easy for the [-]-ton "Polaris" to crush a patrol boat of less than [-] tons. Its huge body draws a beautiful arc on the sea, rolling over like a hill. Like a rabbit being chased by hounds, it fled in embarrassment.

For an ocean-going freighter like the "Polaris", Maxim's power is indeed a bit weaker, not to mention that patrol boats dare not shoot directly at the "Polaris", even if they hit the "Polaris", it is almost like scratching an itch .

This kind of patrol boat can also be useful in dealing with fishing boats.

Switching to southern Africa, most of the destroyers who came out at this time were destroyers. If they didn't obey the command and shot past, the merchant ships would be paperless.

Seeing the patrol boat fleeing in embarrassment, Abbe laughed out loud, but Raphael remained silent.

Even if there is a conflict between the state capital of Mizhou and the Brazilian government, Rafael's mood is quite complicated when the scene in front of him happened in front of a Brazilian.

A weak country has no diplomacy——

If it was in the waters near New York, or in the English Channel, how dare the "Polaris" be so arrogant?
The vicinity of Victoria Harbor is already in Brazil's territorial waters. A merchant ship in southern Africa dared to chase the Brazilian government's patrol boat like a rabbit. Even if the position was different, Raphael still felt inexplicably heartbroken.

"Chasing, chasing, crashing it!" Abe was still howling, and the moment the patrol boat started shooting, Abe felt his heart skip a beat.

It is true that the Polaris has never been treated like this.

No matter how powerful the United States and Britain are, facing Southern Africa of the same size, they still have to be reasonable most of the time.

If you don’t say it, you can’t, the standards are all equal. Today, the warships of the United States and the United Kingdom dare to shoot at the merchant ships in southern Africa. Tomorrow, the Atlantic Fleet and the Indian Ocean Fleet in Southern Africa will retaliate with an eye for an eye. Such words will cause endless troubles.

So everyone should be more civilized, solve problems in a civilized way, and absolutely do not advocate violent conflicts.

Even if the patrol boat has less horsepower, it is still faster than the more powerful "Polaris" because of its light weight.

After escaping the oppressive feeling brought by the "Polaris", the patrol boat made a circle from the distant sea, caught up with the "Polaris" again, and continued to shoot warning shots on the channel in front of the "Polaris".

This time the warning shot was much closer to the "North Star" than before.

"Send a telegram to the port, we need protection—" Abe didn't stop the boat, and he stopped trying to chase the patrol boat, but he really couldn't catch up.

The telegraph operator was very busy, and this was the first time the telegraph operator had experienced such a thing.

Umbrella's response was still very fast. In less than 10 minutes, a "Shark" class frigate from the Umbrella Company had arrived.

A frigate is a light surface combat ship with naval guns, depth charges and anti-submarine torpedoes as its main weapons. Its main task is to undertake anti-submarine, escort, patrol, alert, reconnaissance and support landing operations for the ship formation. In the UK, frigates are also called The escort destroyer is actually a reduced version of the destroyer.

The smaller version is also a warship. The displacement of 550 tons is indeed small, but it is still much larger than a patrol boat.

The "Shark" class frigate is still derived from the "Washington Naval Treaty" and "London Naval Treaty". According to the provisions of these two treaties, warships under 600 tons are not restricted. On this basis, Japan developed the "Chidori" class mine boats, and southern Africa has developed a "shark" class frigate.

Unlike the "Chidori" whose crazy pile of weapons eventually "overturned", the "Shark" class frigate only had one 75mm naval gun, but it installed eight 20mm dual-mounted high-level dual-purpose machine guns and two 533mm guns frantically. The torpedo tubes are clearly positioned.

Umbrella has ordered a total of 6 "Shark" class frigates, four of which are in Victoria Harbour, which fully proves the importance that Umbrella attaches to Iron Four Corners.

The "Tiger Shark", which rushed to the scene quickly, was performing missions in the nearby sea, so it was able to arrive at the scene in the shortest possible time.

The first officer of the "Tiger Shark" was Victor Moulton, who had served in the British Mediterranean Fleet and participated in the Battle of the Dardanelles. When he found that the "Polaris" was being chased by a patrol boat, Moulton was furious .

"Brazil's military government went too far. They actually shot directly at civilian ships. This is a serious violation of the International Law." Moulton looked at the captain Alexander Zaglev, who was observing with a telescope, and was indignant.

"The combat department is ready to fight, and they can drive away the patrol boats of the general government at any time—" Li Mo, the gunnery chief, is gearing up, as there are not many such opportunities.

The second officer, the chief engineer, and the boatswain did not speak, and all eyes were on Alexander.

Alexander finally put down the binoculars.

"The military government—what military government?" Alexander seemed bewildered.

Moulton and Li Mo were even more at a loss. They couldn't see such a large patrol boat?Then you held up the binoculars and looked at it for a long time, what did you see, did you feel lonely?
"There are no patrol boats from the military government. I only see that our merchant ships in southern Africa are being attacked by pirates!" Alexander said firmly. He was either wrong or simply blind.

The eyes of Moulton and Li Mo lit up obviously.

Wonderful, there are indeed no patrol boats of the military government. The navy of the military government is a regular army, so it will not be so inconspicuous.

"So what should we do?" Alexander howled, pumping his fists.

"Kill it!"

"Sink it!"

"Send the pirates to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish—"

Responses were mixed, and the central idea was the same.

Then kill it!
The high-level dual-purpose machine gun equipped on the "Tiger Shark" was originally prepared for air defense, but it can also be used to shoot at sea targets. In addition to air defense, this high-level dual-purpose machine gun also has an important use for tanks or armored vehicles. , the bean chariot like that of Japan can directly enter the soul with one shot.

The armor of a hundred-ton patrol boat is not much stronger than that of a bean chariot.

In fact, when the "Tiger Shark" was seen, the patrol boats of the Brazilian military government had stopped chasing the "Polaris", and they had the intention of quietly turning the rudder to try to slip away.

After all, any fool can see that the "Tiger Shark" rushing over is obviously malicious. The gun cover of the main gun on the front deck has been removed. The 75mm naval gun hits a battleship like a tickle, and hits a patrol boat. , That's really one hit.

It's a pity that it's too late. The effective range of the 20mm high-level dual-purpose machine gun is 2000 meters. It's not that it can't hit it, but it has surpassed the limit of mechanical aiming. Whether it can hit it depends entirely on Meng.

At this time, the distance between the patrol boat and the "Tiger Shark" was less than 1000 meters. Even if the patrol boat ran away with all its strength, it could not escape the pursuit of the "Tiger Shark". After all, the speed of the "Tiger Shark" was faster than that of the patrol boat. Be quick.

Although the "Tiger Shark" has a larger displacement, the power of the "Tiger Shark" is also significantly stronger. Among all warships, the speed of the frigate is almost the fastest, and the limit speed of the "Shark" class can reach 36 knots.

The patrol boat was still very smart. With the help of the huge body of the "Polaris" as cover, it turned around and ran away, hoping to escape.

The "Tiger Shark" didn't give a chance at all. After bypassing the "North Star", the main guns were too lazy to use. Two 20mm high-level dual-purpose machine guns fired together, and it was as easy as training, smashing the fleeing patrol boat into pieces. fireball.

Done work!

Alexander didn't care if this kind of behavior would trigger a conflict between southern Africa and Brazil. The Brazilian military government was at most just a verbal protest, daring to compete with southern Africa, regardless of the fact that most of the main force of the Atlantic Fleet has been transferred to the Indian Ocean. Cleaning up the Brazilian military government is still very easy.

The "Tiger Shark" fired brazenly and sank the patrol boat directly.

Abbe and Raphael were dumbfounded inside the bridge of the "Polaris".

Regardless of Abei's yelling just now, he was actually yelling for courage, the principle is similar to Jiu Zhuang's cowardice.

Rafael didn't expect that the umbrella would be so overbearing, and directly sank the patrol boat of the Brazilian military government in the Brazilian waters. Is this shit in southern Africa, or in Brazil?

Compared with Abe and Rafael who were extremely entangled, the moment the patrol boat turned into a fireball, there was a huge cheer from the bridge of the "Tiger Shark". This was the first victory of the "Tiger Shark", although it was not so It's justifiable, but fighting pirates is also the responsibility of the umbrella company.

"Will there be any consequences?" Moulton realized later that this behavior might cause a war between the two countries.

"Don't worry, if Rio de Janeiro is not satisfied, you can send all the patrol boats over. I don't mind sinking them all." Alexander's heart is really big. Slavs have always been in front of their bodies, so don't worry about it. Right, let's do it first.

"I think we should report to the headquarters." Moulton reminded Alexander, no matter how perfect the excuse is, such a big thing happened, you can't pretend that nothing happened.

"Then send a telegram to the headquarters. We have sunk a pirate ship that was attacking merchant ships in southern Africa off the coast of Victoria Harbor." Alexander is not stupid. As long as he is a pirate, the "Tiger Shark" can remain invincible place.

Of course, the legal department of the umbrella company is responsible for talking about it.

"Okay, you're the boss!" Moulton had nothing to say, and working with Maozi was actually very cool sometimes.
