Ballistic Silence of Special Years

The whole operation turned into a bloody farce in the end.

Li Zheng and the others stayed in the air until the No. 2 ship arrived, and Lao He drove the helicopter back to the ship.

After getting off the plane, everyone was talking about the recklessness and lack of rigor of Bai Xiang's actions just now.

Everyone guesses how it will end this time?

First of all, the pirates lost two people, both of whom were obviously dead, and they didn't have body armor.

Once the rescue failed but the pirate was successfully killed, you can imagine how the pirate leader would be furious with his toes.

The one who killed me? !

According to ordinary people's thinking, of course it is an eye for an eye, blood for blood.

However, pirates are pirates after all.

Jie Dao is just a business.

Finally, the pirate leader contacted John Bull's warship through the radio channel. In order to be dissatisfied with the attack just now, they decided...

Add money!

In order to show his sincerity, the leader asked the minions to get a few grenades and tie them to the captain, and then dragged them to the deck for everyone to see.

In this way, the warships of John Bull, who originally did not agree to a hard attack, were completely subdued.

The staff of the No. 2 ship's command group did some research, and also believed that the suddenness of the action had been lost at this time, and it was not suitable for a new rescue plan for the time being.

Although Baixiang was not convinced, he made a fool of himself in front of everyone and couldn't say anything. In the end, all the warships could only watch the natural gas carrier swagger away and headed for the waters of Somalia.

This was the only failed operation in which Li Zheng participated in the escort operation that could not be prevented.

Although failure has nothing to do with me, it is a kind of regret after all.

But the command team leader reassured everyone that there is no need to feel guilty. After all, the pirates are looking for money. The cargo owner, ship owner, and host country will definitely rescue these crew members through various means, including paying ransom.

Therefore, the safety of the crew is generally not a big problem.

In the experience of escorting, the leader of the command team said that it is extremely rare for naval ships of various countries to rescue a ship that has been hijacked by force, and most of them choose to compromise for the safety of the hostages.

Compromise is not ashamed sometimes.

Escort is a major foreign-related military task, which is politically, policy-related, foreign-related, and sensitive.

The commanders in the formation must not only "be able to command and fight", but also "understand foreign affairs", which is a basic requirement.

Sometimes you can't do it alone and bravely, the result may be counterproductive.

Since the failed operation of the white elephant that day, the formation has conducted another successful escort.

The days seem to have returned to the calm of the past, and there are simple and repetitive fragments on the warship.

On this day, the formation received a new escort mission, which was several domestic and HK ships. After the formation escorted them to a safe sea area, Li Zheng, who was at the lookout post, suddenly heard crackling sounds from afar. Immediately startled, at first I thought it was gunshots, I took a look through the binoculars, and saw a string of firecrackers hung on poles on the freighter closest to me, lit and crackled on the sea. happy.

And then, I saw a huge banner suddenly spread out on the freighter, with a line of words painted with white paint on it, and it looked like it was made temporarily——

"I wish the escorting naval officers and soldiers a happy Chinese New Year!"

Li Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and immediately put down the binoculars. Only then did he remember that today is the 29th year...

In the past 20 years, Li Zheng spent the Spring Festival either at home or in the barracks of the army.

This is the first time to celebrate the Spring Festival on a warship in the vast sea.

For no reason, he felt something warm rushing to the corner of his eyes.

He suddenly missed grandma.

I also miss Shao Xiaoqian.

After graduating from the military academy, Shao Xiaoqian was assigned to work in the theater intelligence department, and is now a lieutenant intelligence analysis officer.

Thinking about the love between myself and Shao Xiaoqian these years, it feels so strange.

We get together less and leave more, and we can't meet a few times a year.

When we met, either this unit had a mission, or the other said that there was an urgent official recall in the theater.

The love of soldiers is actually not romantic at all.

But the love of soldiers is the most romantic.

Not romantic because of separation.

The most romantic is also because of separation.

Just after the Spring Festival, the formation finally ushered in a very special event.

Because it has been sailing at sea for more than two months, according to the decision of the superior, the formation sailed to country J, where our military base will carry out comprehensive replenishment.

Country J is a very unique place.

This small country is located on the west coast of the Gulf of Aden in northern Africa, straddling the Mandeb Strait where the Mediterranean Sea enters the Indian Ocean, bordering Somalia to the southeast, Eritrea to the north, and Ethiopia to the west, southwest and south. About two times the size of Tianjin, with a total population of about 2.32, the territory is full of volcanoes, frequent earthquakes, harsh climate, and lack of natural resources.

Although the environment is not good and the national power is weak, the strategic significance of country J's geographical location is very important, which has attracted many countries to rush to establish military bases here.

Of course, to become a true blue-water navy and to perform effective escort missions in the Indian Ocean, Huaxia certainly cannot miss this important supply location.

After some hard work, after reaching a friendly cooperation agreement with the government of country J, it was agreed that Rabbit would set up his own military base here.

If you lay out a map of the world, you can see from the map that country J faces the Mandeb Strait, the southern gate of the Mediterranean Sea. Formed with country J in the south, from here to the north are many oil-producing countries in the Middle East, and to the south is the vast hinterland of Africa. Country J is like a sentinel standing on the oil channel, which can be attacked or defended.

In addition, the Mandeb Strait overlooked by country J is one of the busiest shipping routes in the world, connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The Mandeb Strait is as important economically and strategically as the Suez Canal, so many countries choose to be in J The country builds military bases.Before the arrival of Huaxia, countries such as Eagle Sauce, Gallic Chicken, and Foot Pot Chicken had already established bases here and operated them for a long time.

Because of this, the atmosphere here is very delicate.

In the eyes of countries like Yingjiang, the former Rabbit Navy did not catch their eyes at all.

Especially the foot pot chicken who has been holding the thigh of the eagle sauce man. At any rate, he got mixed up with the shield ship early. More than ten years ago, he really didn't pay attention to the rabbit's navy.

Unexpectedly, for more than ten years, the Rabbit's navy has been eating dumplings like an aphrodisiac. Various Chinese Aegis ships have been launched as if they don't need money, and there are two aircraft carriers that have entered service.

Before the foot pot chicken could react, they found sadly that not to mention the navy that could not suppress the rabbit in the offshore direction, it could only catch up in the Indian Ocean direction.

Especially in the past few years, everyone rushed to the Indian Ocean to escort. Of course, the foot pot chicken would not let go of this opportunity to loosen the dog's leash, and also sent warships to escort.

But when I got here, I had several face-to-face encounters with the Rabbit’s navy. The warships that used to feel so awesome in the past were like little witches in front of the mighty and domineering shield ships and supply ships of the Rabbit Navy. .

But now, they are even more uncomfortable.

Foot pot chicken also has a base in country J.After all, he was with Brother Yingjiang, and with the support of Yingjiang, he got a piece of land here and built a base.

It's just that the site is not that big. The entire base is only 12 hectares, which is twice smaller than the rabbit's base.

This makes the foot pot chicken even more heartbroken, sour all day long.When Rabbit entered here for the first time to start building the base, some so-called "media" set up high-magnification cameras on the buildings not far from the entrance all the year round, and took pictures of the Rabbit Naval Support Base every day.

When the base was built, the media of the foot pot chicken immediately published news, saying that the rabbit had built the base as strong as their Great Wall. At the same time, it also included a few pictures, which made the gate of the rabbit base feel oppressive.

Well this...

It's also easy to understand.

After all, the poor guys in the village suddenly became rich in the past, and the rich guys in the village started to think wildly, especially those with a history of debts like Jiaopenji, who were in constant panic and always felt that they were The future will be liquidated by the rabbit with interest, always feel scared and even paranoid.

It was early morning when we entered the port.

Choose this time, in fact, is to try to keep a low profile.

After all, there are more than one pair of eyes watching the rabbit's every move here.

Before dawn at four o'clock, Li Zheng heard the announcement on the ship's radio, saying that it had entered the waters of country J and had about 40 minutes to enter the port.

Perhaps because of the fact that he has been sailing at sea for two months, Li Zheng has a strong desire to go ashore.

What's more, this is the legendary comprehensive support base of country J, and it is the first overseas support base for Rabbit.

However, he did not expect that when the formation of warships slowly sailed into the sea area where the military port is located, on the dark sea, there was already a small boat watching all this silently not far away. Seeing the formation entering the port, a figure The burly and fleshy guy turned around and walked into the cabin, picked up the walkie-talkie on the radio, and sent a message——

"The rabbit's naval formation has entered the port, and the underwater unit pays attention to collecting intelligence information." (End of this chapter)
