Chapter 537: Hijacking

Zhongtian-Beikun.

Captain Yu Yinliang stood in the wheelhouse, his eyes on the sea.

Zhongtian-Beikun rides the wind and waves and keeps moving forward.

As a captain, Yu Yinliang's treatment is naturally not bad, especially when there is a transportation task, although it takes one to three months to go back and forth, the bonus is very generous.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a successful person.

The crew of the entire Zhongtian-Beikun is 20 people, as the first container carrier, the Zhongtian-Beikun is not large, but the carrying capacity of 8,000 standard containers at one time is not small.

To control such a transport ship, eight people are actually enough.

Taking into account the rotation, the crew eventually increased to twenty people.

Twenty crew members, in an old ship, would not have been conceivable, but with the development of technology, all this is no longer a problem.

Some ships even have only five or six crew members.

But......

Don't think that if there is less demand for the crew, the crew will lose their jobs. Ten years ago and ten years later, the number of ships used for maritime transportation around the world has increased several times, and the thirst for crew has become greater and greater.

This trip starts from the deep city, passes through the Mediterranean Sea, and then enters the Black Sea.

When I returned, I returned the same route I had come.

Whether it's back and forth, it's full of goods. When you go, it's a product, and when you return, it's a raw material. Huaxia is a large manufacturing factory, its products are exported all over the world, and the demand for raw materials is also very huge.

"After this trip, I had a good vacation, and I could rest for half a year." Yu Yinliang thought that now after passing through the Gulf of Aden, he would be able to return to Shencheng and return home in more than ten days.

When you go out, the most important thing is actually safety.

In the past, the Gulf of Aden was a not peaceful place for them, but with the establishment of the escort fleet, these merchant ships finally no longer had to fear the Gulf of Aden.

The motherland is strong, and they benefit from it.

Looking at the sea, it is very calm, and the tide is only about half a meter, which can be called calm for the sea.

"Contact the escort formation, send our location."

This is a necessary procedure, even if there has been no news of pirates for a long time, but years of experience still make Yu Yinliang habitually make these moves.

The captain spoke, and his crew naturally complied.

Soon, contact was made with the escort formation, but since the escort warship had just escorted a large container carrier out and was cruising back, it would take at least an hour before the escort could be provided.

For this result, Yu Yinliang is used to it.

Escort warships, in fact, they have been cruising according to the route, not specifically escorting a certain ship. Only when they meet each other, and when they happen to be on the way, will they slow down and sail forward with the transport.

In this way, to keep up with the warship, it can only be said to be a stroke of luck.

As now, Yu Yinliang's luck is actually good, at least an hour later, the frigate will catch up with it, side by side with it, and finally with one after another, and finally leave the Gulf of Aden.

There are so many merchant ships passing through here that it is impossible for the frigates in the formation to take care of the masks.

"Slow us down and try to meet them after half an hour." Yu Yinliang gave an order, a slow hour and a half is nothing, safety is the most important thing.

Walking with a corvette, powerful firepower will not make a pirate stupid.

"Yes, Captain."

The crew nodded, and then let the transport start to slow down.

Just as the transport ship had finished slowing down and was moving forward at a speed of only eight knots, they did not notice that in the distance, on the sea, a ship had appeared at a fast speed, and was rushing towards it.

There was no radar system on board, but the ship was spotted when it appeared two nautical miles.

"Pirates, pirates."

"Grass, you won't be so unlucky, how can you meet pirates?"

"Quick, quick."

"Wang Ping, take an axe and a helmet."

"Contact the frigate, hurry."

Suddenly, there was chaos on the Zhongtian-Beikun, and the crew members were in chaos.

Pirates, this is a Somali pirate, a famous one.

They've only heard of it before, but they've never encountered it. According to rumors, Somali pirates are not very friendly, killing people and throwing corpses at sea are common, and they will kill people without ransom.

There are some people who have confirmed these rumors with their own lives, how many people have been imprisoned for a year or two, and only after being tortured can they be redeemed, and people have been deformed.

Now, it's their turn.

Somali pirates have a hard time buying warships and the like for various reasons, and they still use sea ships for certain modifications, and then rely on speedboats to attack.

In the telescope, you can see that this is an offshore vessel, but its speed is amazing, almost flying off the surface of the sea, and you can tell at a glance that it has been refitted.

Especially in the telescope, you can see that there are some strong men on the ships, all of whom carry guns on their backs. And this sea ship, there are not only cannons on it, but also several Vulcan cannons, which can be called powerful firepower.

Aren't these characteristics enough to tell us all about this?

"Quick, take a picture and send it to the escort fleet." Yu Yinliang was scared, but he still reacted.

In the first time, a communication channel was established with the escort warship.

"I am the captain of the XX formation of the escort formation, Zhongtian-Beikun, and report on your situation." On the communication channel, a deep voice came out.

"Pirates, Somali pirates, they're still a nautical mile from me." Yu Yinliang took a deep breath and forcibly calmed himself down.

"We're on full throttle and expect to be there in twenty minutes. For the sake of your lives, please cooperate with the pirates, and we will rescue you as soon as possible. The captain said again.

For such a long time, there was no place for warships at all, not even a single pirate to fight.

Now that he had finally discovered the pirate and was so close to him, how could the captain let go of this opportunity?

A frigate that was still cruising before suddenly increased its speed, increased its speed to the maximum, and sailed forward. On the frigate, a piece of busyness, connecting satellites, obtaining materials, and then feeding back to the frigate.

Soon, they confirmed that what Yu Yinliang said was true, and that a HNA had approached the Zhongtian-Beikun.

The siren sounded.

All the navy soldiers first assembled, and then entered the various posts.

In the face of the upcoming battle, none of them were afraid, but became expectant. God knows what they miss every day is that they can come to fight with real guns.

Pirates are far inferior to the navies of various countries, but pirates have been crisscrossing the Gulf of Aden for so many years, and they naturally have their advantages, and they can also achieve the purpose of training.

The excited soldiers, with such high efficiency, put the frigate into combat more than usual.

…………

The ship quickly approached, and then released four speedboats from the boat, and their speed was even more perverted, at least a third faster than the sea ship.

The speed of the transport ships, although it had been increased to fifteen knots, was too far behind those of these speedboats.

The speedboat was running around the transport, and soon a rope was shot at one of the landing sites. Like the most experienced pirates, some of the most sturdy men held their spears to control the ropes, while others climbed the ropes with their guns on their backs.

According to the pirate's urine nature, they will climb this place more slowly.

But these pirates are not ordinary pirates, this rope is in their hands, as peaceful, and in the blink of an eye, they have boarded the ship.

The crew of the ship, who were holding all kinds of cold weapons, shrank to the position of the wheelhouse.

In the face of the pirates with all kinds of guns in their hands, they also know how powerless they are to resist now. But the fear of pirates made them take up arms again.

"Lay down our arms, we just want the ransom."

A pirate held up a sign in Chinese to the cab.

More and more pirates entered the transports, and they soon included the wheelhouse. Without waiting for the people inside to figure it out, there was a burst of strafing at the lock, beating the key to pieces.

The crew inside, frightened, were so frightened that their faces turned even paler when the lock was hit and it was ineffective.

A big foot kicked the gate away, and the pirates swarmed up.

None of the crew members inside dared to move, and the black muzzles let them know that these pirates were really in a hurry, and they would open fire and kill the one who dared to take the lead, playing the role of killing chickens and monkeys.

Who will be this one?

No one wanted to, so the crew inside, everyone was armed with weapons, but none of them dared to pounce, so they could only watch the door being kicked open.

One of the pirates pointed his gun at the floor, and the crew, pale, did as they did, throwing away their cold weapons and raising their hands again.

Yu Yin's conscience was bitter, he was still thinking of finding some excuse to delay them, and when the frigate arrived, this crisis would naturally be resolved.

Who would have thought that the efficiency of these pirates was so high that even the paper with Chinese characters was ready. It seems to have anticipated what they would do, whether to flee or give in.

When these pirates saw that no one was resisting, they immediately pounced.

One by one, he tied their hands and drove them onto the speedboat and headed for the boat.

Everything is unobtrusive, like a veteran.

It seems that they are also aware of the existence of escort formations and know a quick solution.

In this kind of efficiency, any delay is a joke, people don't even say a word to you, and if you kid someone up, you take them away.

From boarding to departing, it was only five minutes.

Fortunately, they did not shoot directly, but simply took people away. It can be seen that they are asking for money rather than their lives, and if the ransom can be paid, they will not be poisoned.

It just so happens that Zhongtian Shipping Company is a responsible and wealthy company, and the ransom can be delivered soon, and they can return to China in two or three days at most. Even this Zhongtian-Beikun will also be replaced by someone to return to China.

Therefore, they didn't have a very good face when they were tied up, but they were not the kind of panic in the face of life and death, they were very cooperative, they didn't want to cause trouble and anger each other.

Not to mention being killed, it was enough for them to be beaten.
