Chapter 1234 Hijacking
The so-called suspicious ship is a large fishing boat that is common here. According to the calculation of the Australians, it has a displacement of about eighty or ninety tons. It does not have a fishing license flag. Obviously, this is a pirated boat that has not paid fishery taxes. .

The boat was leaning against a sandbar in the sea, and seemed to be pulling some seafood.Zhao Zhulong ordered the patrol boat to approach and prepare to arrest the boat.This is a situation that is often encountered during patrols, and it can always be encountered once or twice every time I go out to patrol.

Vessels that refused to pay the fishery tax were arrested according to the rules and escorted to Hong Kong for processing.The rule is to confiscate all catches.If caught a second time, even the boat will be confiscated.

Although fishermen have always been oppressed, exploited and discriminated against, it does not mean that they are good men and women or lambs who can be slaughtered.In the sea world, which is beyond the government's control, it has always been spoken with knives and fists.Unruly fishermen will certainly not be willing to have one-fifth of their hard-earned seafood taken away, so the Coast Guard's action to impose a fishery tax on the Pearl River Estuary was met with a certain degree of resistance at first. of.Skirmishes occur on almost every Coast Guard patrol, and dead men and boats occasionally sink.There have even been incidents of fishermen ganging up to resist with force, but they were all suppressed without any suspense in the end.

After Hong Kong's hard and soft measures, carrots were added to the big stick: including the establishment of fishing banks, public buying and selling, low-interest micro-loans, and the organization of fisheries associations, which gradually won the hearts of the nearby fishermen. The fisheries tax system has been fully established.

Although incidents of tax evasion have not disappeared, overall such incidents are becoming less and less.As for armed resistance, it has been a long time since the Australians have a reputation for thunderous methods.Therefore, Zhao Zhulong did not order the whole ship to enter the first-level alert state in accordance with the prescribed procedures.

"Ready for inspection!" he yelled.The patrol boat began to lower its sails, and a soldier with a loud voice picked up a tin horn and shouted in Cantonese, Hakka, and Hokkien in turn.

Several sailors began to prepare iron hooks, and one sailor climbed up to the shooting position behind the bridge and aimed the typewriter at the fishing boat.

There were only a few fishermen in ragged clothes on the deck of the fishing boat. Seeing the battle, they became flustered. Some ran around, and some ran to think of the anchor stone. , and the dark "Fang Dapao" came right over, and squatted down with a huff.One puts his head in his hands.

It is a common thing for Zhao Zhulong and the sailors on the patrol boat. Even if they do not have firearms, fishermen are not opponents of systematically trained sailors in one-on-one hand-to-hand combat.

The iron hook hooked the fishing boat, and the two boats leaned side by side, but not tightly.The jumping gang members boarded the deck of the fishing boat with a special boarding plank.Zhao Zhulong is not interested in watching any more—the following scene is already a routine, and it is nothing more than the boss of the boat coming out to intercede. Red envelopes: If you can get a few, it will be a small supplement to your savings, but he knows that the chiefs have installed eyeliner everywhere, and nothing can be hidden from them, and every six months, part of the crew will be replaced to make up for new ones. Recruit people.He, the captain, might change another ship to do it—he will never be able to pull up his cronies, let alone subdue the entire ship.

Zhao Zhulong was bored watching the boring repetitive scenes: the boss of the ship nodded and bowed, the sailors on the inspection shouted and drank six, and then suddenly seven or eight men and women, old and young, poured out on the deck, kneeling and crying and hugging the sailors on the inspection Thighs, some people cried, some howled, and some kowtowed.It was a mess.

This group of Zidan households just refuse to pay taxes honestly.Zhao Zhulong took out a snuff bottle, picked a little and sniffed it.Although he was also a fisherman, he was not from Danhu, so he looked down on "untouchables" like Danhu. Since there were many officers and soldiers from Danhu in the navy, discrimination against Danhu was strictly prohibited in the navy, and he also did a lot of publicity and education work.But this kind of emotion has not really been eliminated among the naval officers and soldiers who are not from Dano, but it is no longer shown on the surface.

Just when the attention of the sailors was attracted by the inspection on the port side, a few wooden wine barrels quietly floated up from the sea surface on the starboard side, and the sailors who were looking out on the starboard side widened their eyes curiously, not knowing what it was thing.

At this moment, short crossbow arrows were shot from several wooden barrels at the same time, and with a few screams, the sailors on the lookout were hit by the arrows and fell into the sea.The sailor who leaned on the starboard typewriter and watched was also shot down.Almost at the same time, the fishermen who had been pleading at the feet of the sailors started together, dragged several jumping gang members to the ground in an instant, and immediately settled the bill with their knives in hand.

Zhao Zhulong reacted fairly quickly. He drew out his pistol, and just shouted: "Attention..." The side panels of the poop of the fishing boat crashed down, and a puff of white smoke was emitted instantly, followed by thunderous gunfire. To the sky.

Countless iron nails and irons swept across the deck of the patrol boat in an instant, and there was a scream on the deck. Zhao Zhulong's bridge was the first to bear the brunt. His head was beaten into a rotten watermelon by several irons. He failed to escape with his life, blood flowed into rivers on the bridge, and even the typewriter was pierced with seven or eight holes.

"on!"

With a howl, dozens of pirates poured out from below the deck, and immediately climbed onto the deck of the patrol boat that had lost the cover of the typewriter.And a few floating human heads came out from under the barrel, and climbed up from the starboard side with both hands and feet.The fighting was short and brutal. Most of the sailors on duty had been killed or wounded by the first bombardment, and the patrol boats were completely crippled.

Patrol boats have a small number of sailors and rely entirely on firepower to suppress enemies and "potential enemies."Now this sudden shot instantly abolished its firepower advantage, so in less than 10 minutes, the patrol boat fell into the hands of the pirates.The sailors on board were either killed on the spot, or they were directly punished after being caught.

Although the pirates were the same as the fishermen in the Pearl River Estuary in appearance and clothes, their movements were neat and coordinated.Not at all the rambunctious fishermen and pirates.

After the battle subsided completely, a strong man stepped out from below the deck of the fishing boat. His attire was no different from that of the pirates holding knives and guns and panting heavily.The group of pirates hastily made way for him.He fell heavily, stepping on the corpses and blood on the deck, and walked slowly to the stern.Then, after climbing up the bloody escalator on the bridge, he glanced at the typewriter that had been damaged by the cannon, turned it with his hand, and after observing a black iron guy for a while, he removed the typewriter The flick, carefully looked at.There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The pirate chief didn't speak, he only directed everything with gestures.The pirates quickly hung the corpses with cannonballs and threw them into the sea. Some men repaired the broken sail cables, and some cleaned the deck.Ten minutes later, the entire patrol boat returned to its normal readiness state.

The fishing boat was scuttled and the pirates boarded the patrol boat.Gang Hai Xun No. 64 hoisted its full sails, and took advantage of the wind to quickly sail towards the open sea.

Four hours later, news of the disappearance of Ganghai Xun 64 reached the Admiralty in Lingao: a single-masted patrol boat disappeared during a routine patrol at the Pearl River Estuary, and there was no storm in the sea along the way.A search was conducted by patrol boats and no trace of the missing patrol boat was found, so it cannot be determined whether the ship sank due to grounding.Now Lelin suspects that the ship defected or was hijacked, and has expanded the scope of the search, but there is no result yet.

The Admiralty immediately began to operate nervously. This was not the first time that a patrol boat was lost, and accidents and combat losses were not unheard of.But this is the first time that such a situation of disappearing without a trace has happened.Chen Haiyang ordered all ships in Hong Kong and sailing to Hong Kong to raise the alert level, and at the same time warned ships everywhere: a single-masted patrol boat is currently missing.

"It's a pity that there is no 8154 in Hong Kong. Otherwise, if we send out to search, we will definitely find it." Chen Haiyang thinks that the possibility of the sinking of the ship is unlikely, and it is very likely that it was defected or hijacked.It's hard to say what the motive was.However, even if the crew defected, it could not be spontaneous, and it is very likely that they were bewitched.

If it was bewitched by others, then this incident would be a bit rare. Chen Haiyang couldn't think of anyone with such a great ability to bewitch the crew under their strict internal security system?Anyway, there are more than 20 people in this patrol boat.Impossibly airtight.

"Immediately read the weekly internal report of Gang Hai Xun No. 64!" Chen Haiyang called the Political Department of the General Staff.The weekly surveillance reports of the Ten-member regiment from the Political Security Office were sent here.Then he ordered to call out the roster of all personnel on Hong Kong Haixun No. 64, and read their files according to the roster.

"...Call the Political Security Bureau again and say that we will send a list and ask them to check whether these people have other records and reports in the Political Security Bureau." Chen Haiyang put down the phone and walked around the office for a few minutes. Stepping forward, I secretly felt bad. I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as a simple crew mutiny.But when it comes to hijacking, he really can't imagine that someone can hijack a well-trained, sea-experienced, and armed patrol boat to the teeth-the three typewriters alone are enough to curb all attempts to jump gangs.

If anyone can do it, he is the most dangerous enemy we have ever had.Thinking of this, Chen Haiyang picked up the phone again and shook it a few times: "I'm Chen Haiyang, you don't want to go to the Political Security Bureau, I'll go there myself! Prepare the materials right away."
