Chen Xin thought for a while, and then said: "Ahdi, don't forget to ask the Yankees to prepare three high-powered tugboats."

Chen Xin didn't want anyone to know that the guided-missile cruiser "Vila Bay" was about to be repaired, but he couldn't let it float on the sea. The best way was to use a tugboat to tow it back to Mogadishu.

Of course, these tugboats will naturally have to be paid by the Americans.

Ahdi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Leader, don't worry, then I'll go down and contact them."

Although the communication system has been interrupted, Ahdi still has a way to contact the "Nansen".

……

Karoo and Russell are the shipboard helicopter pilots of the guided-missile frigate "Nansen" of the Norwegian Navy. Since they received the task of monitoring the Vila Bay last night, they have launched three successive missions. Throughout their professional military careers, they have been very rare.

At the beginning, they were worried about being attacked by pirates on the "Vila Bay", but after a few hours, those pirates did not act excessively, which made them gradually bolder, and sometimes even directly from the "Vera Bay" The guided-missile cruiser USS Bay flew overhead.

This time, they drove the nh-90 helicopter and prepared to approach the guided missile cruiser "Vila Bay" again.

But Russell always felt that something was wrong with the "Vila Bay", and it seemed to have changed a little bit compared to before.

Russell, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, took a closer look, and suddenly pointed to the mainmast of the "Villa Bay" and said, "Karoo, look. What kind of flag is that?"

At some point, the American flag on the mainmast of the "Vila Bay" disappeared.In its place was a black flag.

Under the sea breeze, the white skull logo looms.

"I'm sloth!"

Karoo uttered a national curse in Norwegian. These pirates are a little too arrogant, but think about how they dared to attack the guided missile cruiser of the US Navy. What else would they not dare to do?

But soon, Karoo's attention was attracted by what happened in another direction.

I saw a group of American soldiers being driven out of the helicopter hangar at the rear of the ship by the pirates, and under the command of the pirates, these American soldiers actually put on a SOS symbol.

"Russell. What are they doing, what happened?"

At the same time, with the tacit approval of the pirates, the American soldiers began to shout and wave to the helicopter.

"What happened?"

"Let's go and see!"

The nh-90 then turned its nose and flew towards the flight deck of the "Vila Bay".

……

Washington.

Ao Guanhai flew back to Washington overnight, and immediately held an emergency meeting of the National Security Council in the White House conference room.

After the meeting, Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta, who had just been transferred from the cia director to the Pentagon, stayed.Reported the latest situation to Ao Guanhai: "Mr. President, except for the Norwegian Navy's 'Nansen' guided missile frigate, other naval ships currently performing escort missions in the Gulf of Aden have all moved closer to the 'Vila Bay', including Italy's San Marco amphibious dock landing ship and the 'Higgins' guided missile destroyer of the Arleigh Burke class will arrive in the sea area where the incident occurred before 100 pm local time. In addition, the 'George Washington' aircraft carrier battle The group has left the port of Mombasa. It is headed north to the Gulf of Aden. The "Goodman Richard" expeditionary amphibious strike group, which is performing tasks in the Persian Gulf, has also assembled in the direction of the Gulf of Aden. According to the observation of the guided missile frigate Nansen of the Norwegian Navy on the scene At least [-] pirates flooded the Vila Bay, and they held the lives of hundreds of sailors in their hands."

Ao Guanhai's brows were furrowed, this was the thing that made him most wary.The pirates controlled the lives of so many sailors, if the news spread.Tomorrow, a large number of families of sailors will come to demonstrate in front of the White House.

What worries Ao Guanhai even more is that if the pirates are angered and they kill indiscriminately, the pirates will not be able to escape the wrath of the United States, but he himself will not be able to escape the wrath of the people.

Ao Guanhai is very clear about the fact that bare feet are not afraid of wearing shoes.

Otherwise, Al Qaeda would not have created the 911/[-] incident.

Ao Guanhai thought for a while and said, "Are you sure who attacked the 'Vila Bay'?"

Leon Panetta said: "There are indications that the People's Guards in Mogadishu and the Ahdi Brigade were involved in this attack. The Ahdi Brigade has a close relationship with the Somali Al-Shabaab, which we have been focusing on. One of the terrorist organizations. Also, there is a very important issue.”

Ao Guanhai said: "What's the problem?"

Leon Panetta said: "According to the clues provided by the escorted merchant ships at that time, before the pirates besieged the 'Vila Bay' guided missile cruiser, a strange lightning appeared over the Gulf of Aden. But the weather at that time was clear and clear , There is no condition for lightning to appear at all.”

Ao Guanhai frowned and said, "What do the experts from the Ministry of National Defense say?"

Leon Panetta had a dignified expression, and slowly said a few words: "Non-nuclear electromagnetic pulse bomb!"

Ao Guanhai's expression suddenly became serious, and he asked, "Are you sure?"

Leon Panetta said: "This guess is very likely. After the 'Vila Bay' was suddenly attacked by an electromagnetic pulse bomb, most of the electronic equipment was burned, causing the ship's weapon system to be paralyzed. The pirates can take advantage of it. The question is, where did the electromagnetic pulse bomb come from?"

Ao Guanhai pursed his lips and did not speak. There are only a few countries capable of manufacturing electromagnetic pulse bombs. As for who is currently in conflict with the United States, the answer is almost ready to come out.

The only thing that makes Ao Guanhai unbelievable is how dare the Chinese do this?

This is completely different from China's previous style of doing things.

Ao Guanhai thought for a moment, and said: "I will talk to the head of state of China in a while to discuss and solve the problem of the cargo ship Dongfang!"

Leon Panetta frowned and said, "Mr. President, what about those drones?"

Yesterday, cia agents sent back good news from the port of Mombasa.They successfully found the batch of drones on the container ship Orient, and the US military has dispatched a c-7 transport plane to Mombasa.The drones are scheduled to be shipped back to the United States today.

Ao Guanhai said: "Just remove the battery on the drone and ship it back to the country, and put everything else back in place. If the Chinese can help us solve the pirate problem, we can immediately release the cargo ship Dongfang and announce to the outside world No trace of weapons of mass destruction was found inside. In addition, the Chinese company can be compensated for the losses caused by this seizure.”

Leon Panetta nodded, but did not speak.

Mr. President has a good idea, but the Chinese may not be so easy to deal with.

Just as the office fell silent.Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Ao Guanhai raised his head and said, "Please come in!"

A White House secretary pushed in the door and said: "Mr. President, the latest news is that the pirates have contacted us and asked us to prepare three tugboats and oil, water and food supplies. For this reason, they released a group of seriously wounded. And to us Delivered 69 dead sailors..."

"69 corpses?"

Ao Guanhai and Leon Panetta looked at each other. The situation was much better than they thought. At least the pirates showed their willingness to negotiate.

……

Jessica arrived at Djibouti International Airport, found an airline that could rent a small plane according to the contact information provided by Wells, and soon contacted a small twin-engine propeller plane, knowing this time.Wells just barely arrived with a large bag of photographic equipment.

As soon as the two met, the bearded Wells said, "Jessica, how is the plane?"

Jessica said: "It's ready, a twin-engine Cessna 340a propeller plane with a range of 2600 kilometers. The range from Djibouti to the eastern entrance of the Gulf of Aden is only more than 1000 kilometers, enough for us to search the Gulf of Aden. .”

Wells nodded in satisfaction.Said: "Okay, let's go right away."

The pilot's name is Abidjan, a retired French Air Force fighter pilot with rich experience. When he heard that Wells and Jessica were reporters from Reuters, he made a surprised expression and asked curiously. He said, "You two, what are you doing in the Gulf of Aden? The sea is vast, what's there to photograph?"

Wells was sitting in the co-pilot's seat. He laughed and said, "I heard that the cruiser of the US Navy was hijacked by pirates, so I rushed over to take first-hand materials."

Abidjan pouted, thinking Wells was joking.

After the plane entered the sky over the Gulf of Aden, Wells asked Abidjan to lower the altitude to 100 meters below sea level. This kind of low-altitude flight was completely child's play for Abidjan, who was born in the naval aviation, but Jessica was a little bit too much. Sometimes she even had the illusion that the plane was about to fall into the sea.

An hour later, the plane had flown more than 600 kilometers, but there was nothing on the sea except those merchant ships and occasional warships.

"What exactly are you looking for?"

Abidjan was very curious about the purpose of Wells and Jessica's trip.

Wells glanced at him and said, "Didn't I already tell you? We are looking for a US Navy cruiser hijacked by pirates."

"how can that be?"

Abby laughed.

Jessica interjected: "Sir, we really didn't joke with you. As far as I know, the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy has been fully mobilized. In addition, NATO Task Force 248 in the Gulf of Aden is also gathering! Verify the authenticity, and you will know when you find the cruiser later."

Abby was stunned.

But soon, he whistled and said with a smile: "If this beautiful lady is telling the truth, then I don't want the bonus for this flight. I will treat you to an African meal when I go back!"

Wells laughed and said, "Then we've decided on this big meal!"

He got some internal information through his Somali informant, saying that something is wrong with the two armed forces in Mogadishu in recent days. action.

If it is said that their joint purpose is to hijack the US cruiser, it can really be regarded as an unprecedented piracy operation.

While the three of them were chatting, half an hour passed unknowingly.

……

Inside the bridge of the guided-missile frigate Nansen, Lieutenant Colonel Vidic, the captain, was coordinating the transfer of the wounded with the Italian San Marco amphibious dock landing ship. The flying object, with a height of [-] and a speed of [-], is flying towards us."

Although the Nansen guided missile frigate is also equipped with the American Aegis phased array radar system, it is only a simplified version, and its ability to detect targets flying at ultra-low altitudes is limited.

Vidic said: "Call the other party and verify the identity of the other party."

The U.S. Navy had dispatched a P-3 anti-submarine aircraft to assist in surveillance before, so the reappearance of the aircraft on the radar screen did not surprise Vidic.

"Yes!"

"This is the guided missile frigate of the Norwegian Navy 'Nansen', please answer if you hear it, this is the guided missile frigate 'Nansen' of the Norwegian Navy, please answer if you hear it!"

In the cockpit of Senas 340a, the voice of a call suddenly rang.

Abidjan, Wells, and Jessica looked at each other, Abidjan quickly turned off the microphone, and then said to Wells: "There is a warship nearby, it should be not far ahead!"

Wells said: "This is the high seas, ignore them!"

If it is an ordinary escort warship, it will not take care of such a small aircraft under normal circumstances, unless it is performing a security mission, it will be so sensitive to air targets.

"Jessica, get my camera!"

Ten minutes later, they had already seen the shadows of two warships on the sea in the distance.

"That's it! Come closer!"

The Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser was tall and mighty, and Wells recognized it at a glance.

Senas tilted his wings and accelerated towards the location of the "Vila Bay".

As the distance approached, the situation of the "Vila Bay" was gradually revealed in front of the three of them.

Abijan was stunned and said: "No way, the pirates really hijacked this big guy?"

On the deck of the Vila Bay, many black men in ragged clothes were cheering towards the small plane with their guns raised.

"Look, what's hanging on the mast of 'Vila Bay'?"

Jessica pointed at the black pirate flag and yelled, the scene in front of her made her unbelievable.

clack clack...

Wells kept on recording this rare scene, and even gave a frontal close-up of the flying pirate flag!

……

"Captain, what should we do?"

Inside the guided missile frigate Nansen.

Lieutenant Colonel Vidic looked at the small plane clearly marked with civilian signs through the porthole, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Report it, and let the people above handle it."
