In the eastern part of the Gulf of Aden, a merchant ship loaded with cargo is moving forward at a rapid pace.

In the rear, two fast dinghys were in hot pursuit.

"Billy, how is it, haven't you contacted the escort navies of nearby countries yet?"

In the cabin of a merchant ship, a white man asked anxiously to his technician.

"Also...... Not yet, Captain. ”

At this time, the technicians were already sweating like rain: "The nearby waters are windy and rough, and the escort fleets of the United States and France have never been here. ”

"As for the convoys of other countries, it is even more unlikely that there will be ......"

Listening to the technician's answer, Captain Chris's face was blue and purple.

Before this departure, in order to save money, he also had a bit of luck, and did not submit an application to the escort fleets of various countries in advance.

I thought that the rampant piracy had eased recently, so there shouldn't be any problems.

Who would have thought that only a few days after coming out of the Strait of Malacca, they would encounter pirates.

Now I am in a very awkward position, far away from the land, and there is no escort fleet of various countries nearby.

It is almost impossible to get rid of the pursuers behind you.

Although this kind of merchant ship begging for a living near the Gulf of Aden, there must be some protective force.

But in front of ferocious pirates, it is still not enough to see.

On the two dinghys behind him, the AK47s in the hands of the pirates were clearly visible.

As the best-selling firearm on the black market, the AK47's lethality is obvious to all.

Even if he has some counter-attacking ability on his merchant ship, Chris doesn't feel like he has any chance of winning.

The first mate, who had been following Chris without saying a word, peeked at his captain's red and white face at this time, and was apprehensive.

The pirates in this part of the Gulf of Aden have always eaten soft rather than hard.

If their merchant ships had stopped to beg for mercy just now, perhaps the pirates would not have been ruthless when they got on board.

But if you are caught up again after such an escape, the problem may be serious.

Perhaps the pirates, in their rage, will kill innocent people.

And he is not the captain of the ship, and he has the identity of a first mate, which is just right for the pirates to make an example of the monkeys.

Just as Chris and the first mate were palpitating, the technician in charge of the radio station in front of him suddenly screamed.

"Got in touch, HF Radio 16!"

Hearing this, Chris hurriedly said to his technician: "Quick, hurry up and send a signal to the other party to ask for rescue." ”

The technician sighed and hurriedly responded.

Before he could start his voice, the existing voice came from the other side of the channel.

"The battleship 'Coconut City' of the Huaxia Navy's escort fleet, please identify yourself."

"This is the Estin merchant ship, which belongs to the Apennine Toti Trading Company. We are now being pursued by pirates in the eastern waters of the Gulf of Aden, asking for help, asking for help. ”

The technician quickly recounted what had happened to the ship.

As he narrates, Chris's hands tremble the whole time.

At this moment, all of this person's expectations are already on this communication.

Although Chris did not know when Huaxia would start sending a fleet to participate in escort operations in the Gulf of Aden, this was not the time to worry about this.

Since high-frequency communication can contact each other, it proves that the distance between the two parties is not too far.

With the high speed of the naval warship, as long as his own Estin and the pirate can maneuver for a little longer, the other party should be able to arrive.

After the technician reported to himself, the voice of "wait a minute" soon came from the communication.

Chris can certainly understand what's going on.

It must have been someone escorting the fleet to check the authenticity of what his men were saying.

With the development of the Internet now, it is estimated that it will take a minute or two to have a definite answer.

Sure enough, there was a response on the other end of the phone.

"Is your captain here? We need to talk to him and make sure!"

Chris quickly pushed the technician away, leaned over to the side of the communication, and said, "I'm the captain, Alabama Chris." ”

On the other end of the communication, after the other party asked a few questions, he did not continue to get to the bottom of the matter.

Needless to say, the authenticity of Chris's identity has certainly been established.

"Captain Chris, my department is clear about your situation. Next, please be sure to listen to the questions I ask and give me the answers. ”

"Yes, I understand."

"First of all, report the current location and route of your Estine."

Chris answered, and immediately opened his voice: "The location is: east longitude to 110°03', north latitude 20°08', and the route of the route is 32° north-east. ”

"Good!"

On the other side of the comms, the young voice continued, "How many ships are there among the pirates chasing you?" What is the firepower configuration? ”

Chris turned his head to look at the first mate, who immediately leaned over and whispered in his ear what he had discovered.

As the first mate spoke, Chris relayed it to the comm as it was.

"The pirates used two small speedboats. In terms of firepower, you can see six or seven AK47s, plus two machine guns. ”

"In addition, there may be shoulder-fired missiles."

After Chris finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the communication, and instructions were quickly given.

"Captain Chris, now you change course and continue 16° east-north, increasing your speed to the top speed."

Chris was stunned for a moment, and wanted to tell the other party that his merchant ship could not maintain its top speed all the time.

Because that will speed up the consumption of fuel, and it will soon be caught up by the other party.

Before he could explain the problem, there was a response on the other end of the communication.

"Our rescuers arrived in about 20 minutes. When we arrive, we'll confront the pirates, so you can protect yourself. ”

Hearing that it would only take 20 minutes for Huaxia's rescuers to arrive, Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain Chris, are you listening?"

Hearing the question on the other end of the communication, Chris came back to his senses and hurriedly agreed: "Listening!" We will cooperate with you. ”

"Okay, that's it for now. I'm going to start setting it up here! ”

"Good~Good~Good......"

Chris said yes three times in a row, but the other party had already ended the communication.

Taking a deep breath, Chris turned his head back.

He motioned to the technician to continue to take care of the maintenance of the communications.

And he himself bowed to the first mate, motioning for him to speak on the other side.

The first mate caught a glimpse of the captain's gesture and hurriedly followed.

When the two of them walked to the corner of the command cabin, they both had a feeling of immortality.

"Garrison, when the rescuers from the Huaxia Escort Fleet arrive, you can bring a few people to the stern of the ship to pick them up. When you can't let people get close, you're attacked by pirates. ”

"Yes, I understand." The first mate wiped his sweat.

Chris snorted and continued: "Listening to the tone of the person just now, Huaxia should have sent a regular navy. As long as you can get close to it, there will be no problems. ”

Hearing this, First Officer Garrison seems to think of something.
