Chapter 525: Escort Formation
Gulf of Aden.
A transport ship full of containers is moving slowly.
This transport ship is put in the forest of the world, and the top ten must have nothing to do with it, but the transportation capacity that can transport 8,000 containers at a time is not small when looking at the world.
On the hull of the ship, a line of huge white Chinese characters: Zhongtian-Guangze.
It only takes a glance to know that this transport ship belongs to Zhongtian Shipping Company.
Those who are familiar with it know that this is a new type of transport ship that Zhongtian Shipping Company just launched last year, and its huge volume can be operated by only 12 people under automation and intelligence.
The route is already fixed, and the automatic program executes the set course to sail forward until the destination is reached.
Intelligence, to ensure that when encountering a ship, the adjustment between the two ships will make a judgment and stagger it.
Today's maritime transport is the same as aviation, and there will be controls, such as dispatchers to make dispatches to ensure that ships do not collide; Combined with the crew's standby, under the triple insurance, there will be almost no collision between ships on the route.
On the ship at this time, the crew members were in good spirits.
There's no way, automation is something they don't have to worry about, but what about pirates?
Every time you pass through the Gulf of Aden, to some of their crew, it's a trepidating journey, and you never know if you'll be targeted by pirates.
"All cheer up, if you really encounter these guys, don't be impulsive, call the police first, and then don't act rashly."
The captain confessed that if he really encountered pirates, he could only consider himself unlucky.
Fortunately, Zhongtian Shipping Company is also wealthy, and if they really have something, they will release it soon, because it is refreshing to give money. And it is precisely like this that the pirates are most pleased with their kind.
It's like a cycle, and you can't untie this knot.
Destroy pirates?
It seems that there are some difficulties, Somali pirates are famous all over the world, how many countries, including the United States, have no choice but to let the domestic shipping companies be slaughtered, and it is so easy to eliminate?
Pirates in leisure time and civilians in wartime...... This kind of upside-down identity makes Somali pirates always go out wantonly when countries are helpless, and as soon as the warships of various countries arrive, they will go ashore and become good citizens, and there is no nest at all.
The ships under his command all nodded their heads, paying attention to the surrounding sea.
Luckily, there's no movement yet.
Seabed.
An octopus made of a water spirit named CC132 is swimming, and it is swimming randomly in the shallow water at a distance of 30 meters from the surface of the sea.
When this Zhongtian-Guangze appeared, it sensed it from afar, and at the moment, the command given to it by Lu Chuan was activated as soon as possible. In the water, its eight tentacles contracted, then popped out, sending it into an exaggerated underwater velocity and lunging towards the transport.
Silently, it brought out a touch of white bubbles in the sea, forming a long white ribbon of water.
There is nothing on the surface of the sea, but who would have thought that under this sea, something is constantly approaching?
In just seven or eight minutes, this CC132 water ghost appeared at the bottom of the Hirosaw, sucked in its tentacles, attached itself to the bottom of the ship, and let the transport ship carry it forward.
If you look closely, you can also see that one of the tentacles of the CC132 water ghost is covered with an instrument, which is constantly recording something, and it is instantly transmitting the recorded sound back to the rear for storage.
Each boat has its own unique sound, and this is their identity.
As long as it is recorded, the next time you hear it, you can determine its identity by matching it with the stored voice.
Lu Chuan, who came prepared, had already transferred a hundred water ghosts from the deep city here, and at present, in the Gulf of Aden, the number of water ghosts alone has reached one hundred and fifty.
Don't underestimate these 150 water ghosts, once they erupt, it will be enough to completely block the entire Gulf of Aden.
A bold idea, a hundred and fifty water ghosts, if used properly, will not be a problem against a dozen destroyers.
It can be said that in the Gulf of Aden, before you know it, Lu Chuan already has the strength to dominate this water.
The CC132 water ghost, after recording the sound for more than ten minutes, moved, climbed from the bottom of the boat to the side of the ship, and then poked out its hideous head.
"Zhongtian?"
Manor House.
Lu Chuan was blowing the air conditioner, and Erlang's legs were eating grapes comfortably.
Xia Min, who has always been extremely cold, has an indifferent face, standing on Lu Chuan's side, staring at Lu Chuan, and after Lu Chuan finished eating, he sent a seedless grape to Lu Chuan's mouth.
If this scene were known to someone who was familiar with helmet mercenaries, it would definitely make their jaws drop.
The god of ice and snow, known as the cold for 10,000 years, serves a person like this?
Not to mention, with Xia Min's coldness, serving people like this is definitely exciting, and that sense of conquest is absolutely so strong that there is no spectrum.
It's a pity that Lu Chuan doesn't have this feeling, his eyes narrowed at this time, and he showed a smile of things, it's really a coincidence, he can also meet the transport ship of Du Xinyue's company here, and it is really not a gathering of enemies.
I just took a big gift from him, presumably Du Xinyue is already anxious now, I don't know if he has been admitted to the hospital?
Wouldn't it be too cruel to make trouble for him now?
"Take advantage of his illness and kill him."
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Chuan still made a decision. Now that he has done it, why don't you just get him off the altar of the king of ships, so that he can still have the heart to play with women?
The previous Sea Palace, although it was under Du Xinyue's own name, was not classified as Zhongtian Shipping Company, but the sinking of the Sea Palace still made the stock price of Zhongtian Shipping come to a downward limit, and it has fallen by 15% so far.
For a 100 billion enterprise, a drop of 15% is definitely a mourning.
However, the previous salvage operation has made the stock price recover, which shows the influence of Du Xinyue himself on Zhongtian Shipping.
"It's a good way to make money."
Lu Chuan smiled, as long as he casually engaged in Zhongtian Shipping's ships, it could affect the stock market. Don't think that the domestic stock market can only buy up and not buy down, in fact, it is possible, but you need to open margin trading, when you are short on a stock, you can first sell the stock from the securities dealers, and then buy it back to the securities dealer when it is low, which is to buy down.
In this type of trading, the brokerage only looks at the number of shares, not the price of the shares.
You only need to be bearish, and then you can use this method to sell first and then buy, and earn the difference from it. Securities firms charge a lot of fees for this kind of transaction, but if they can really use the power in their hands to give Zhongtian Shipping a shot, compared to the income, this fee is nothing.
Lu Chuan raised his wrist and looked at the time, it was nine o'clock in the morning, while it was two o'clock in China, and it was still during the stock market trading hours.
Taking out his mobile phone, Lu Chuan called Yi Ran's hand: "Find a way, dispose of the gold, and then use securities lending to sell the shares of Zhongtian Shipping in different time periods." ”
"Understood, boss." Yi Ran's words were very concise, and he hung up the phone casually.
The gold and antiques obtained from Du Xinyue, Lu Chuan had already handed them over to Yi Ran, and she would handle all this. With Yi Ran's ingenuity, none of this is a problem, Lu Chuan only needs to command.
Like how to operate, Yiran will handle it well, because her current procurement company has all kinds of top talents who can help it deal with many things.
This operation involves a scale of 10 billion, and it will be more troublesome to operate.
The most important thing is that it is still kept secret and not known, otherwise a contact with this wreck will definitely attract an investigation by the relevant departments, and thus involve the company that operates it.
Of course, Lu Chuan still knows Yi Ran's methods, the operation of the whole thing will not have anything to do with the procurement company, everything is operated by some shell companies, once it is successful, it will disappear even the funds, and it is impossible to find out what is impossible.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Chuan stretched his waist.
It will take some time to operate, of course, now is not the time to sink this ship, the layout has not been completed yet, if something really happens, Lu Chuan wants to make this money, but it will be difficult.
"You're in luck."
Lu Chuan smiled, and then a grape was brought to his mouth, and Lu Chuan opened his mouth to bite without pressure.
He didn't care about Xia Min's current expression, anyway, he felt very good.
…………
"Captain, there's a situation."
One of the crew members shouted loudly, his finger pointing into the distance.
I saw a boat in the distance, which was rushing towards the Hirosaw. It was fast, apparently a converted ship, with its massive hull almost floating out of the sea.
There is no other possibility for such a ship than one possibility.
"It's a pirate, it's a Somali pirate." In the panic, the whole ship was almost in chaos.
They were worried before, but they didn't expect that the more they worried, the more problems went wrong.
The captain's face changed slightly, but he still shouted very calmly: "What are you panicking about, they are just saving money, as long as the ransom arrives, we will not be in danger of our lives." ”
The crew nodded, this seemed to be a comforting explanation, no one wanted to be hijacked by pirates, but now that the pirates appeared, they could only accept their fate.
Even Lu Chuan didn't expect this result.
Isn't he just thinking about letting the water ghost slip away and let this ship go, but now it seems that it is unlikely?
I have always known that Somali pirates are active in this area of the Gulf of Aden, but Lu Chuan has never seen it, and now he has finally encountered it. For Lu Chuan, this was an unexpected encounter.
"This is the 24th Formation of the Huaxia Navy Escort, I am ......"
Almost at the same time, the communicator on the transport ship made a Mandarin sound, standard and powerful.
The people who had just fallen into a state of anxiety were like hearing the sound of heaven. For a while, their eyes widened, and then their eyes were full of tears, and the dark clouds just now were sunny in a blink of an eye.
For them, this moment is all about feeling the strength of their homeland.
If it weren't for the motherland's escort formation here, they would definitely be planted in the hands of pirates this time, saying that they would be safe with a ransom, but for cruel pirates, killing people is normal, and they are also facing the danger of their lives.
Well, now the warships of the Motherland have appeared, and everything is safe.
The pirates, who had rushed over before, immediately turned the bow of the ship and left even more desperately, and soon disappeared on the horizon.
