It is not easy to determine the other party, Xiao Yang has no idea of paying a ransom to replace people, no matter whether they are old and maze or what, finding the whereabouts of the ship is the top priority.

Three days, but it's a bit tight.

Giving up guessing the other party's idea, Xiao Yang immediately contacted Hu Zhiyun and asked him to contact the domestic escort formation in the Gulf of Aden on his behalf to see if he could get useful clues from them.

Italy and the United States, which also have convoys in the Gulf of Aden, thought about it, and finally contacted Hamis and David respectively and asked them to help inquire about it.

When Hammis received a call from Xiao Yang, he contacted the mysterious force about the matter, not sure if the other party also had an informant in the navy, and he said that he would inquire with his cronies and give Xiao Yang an answer as soon as possible.

As for Davis, he directly gave Xiao Yang the contact information of the escort fleet, stating that he, the national security adviser, had the right to ask them about some things, and let him contact him himself.

For a long time, Xiao Yang did not take this identity seriously, strictly speaking, this is the first time he enjoys the privilege, but this privilege makes him quite surprised, although the escort fleet is insignificant in the entire army system, but the Italian Ministry of Defense can actually give him such a permission, which is quite sincere.

After all, he's an expatriate no matter what.

contacted the fleet commander, Colonel Williams, and reported the identity code, and the other party immediately confirmed Xiao Yang's identity, "Mr. Xiao, the headquarters has notified me, if there is something to say, I will definitely cooperate." ”

It's not a military mission, so the words are also arbitrary.

The shipping company they cooperated with was introduced by Doyle, and the ship's registered place was Italy, which is the biggest reason why Xiao Yang decided to ask the Italian escort fleet, first asking them where they were, very coincidentally, their fleet happened to be replenished from Djibouti today, and it took less than ten hours to depart.

Ten hours? Except that they judged that it had been four hours since the event had happened, and the fleet was in this area at the time, he immediately told Williams the ship's number and the last location of the satellite status system, "You can help me check, did you see this ship a few hours ago?" ”

The Navy Command called directly, Williams originally thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect to just ask if he had seen such a small thing as a ship, and hurriedly responded, saying that he would reply.

There are some expectations in his heart, but Xiao Yang actually doesn't have too much hope, in the entire Gulf of Aden, there is no reef or anything at all, that is to say, the entire sea area is more than 1,000 kilometers long and nearly 500 kilometers wide, and there is nowhere to sail, even if the fleet is in the same sea area at the time of the incident, but if the other party deviates from the normal course and thinks of encountering one of the ships in the vast sea, the possibility is too small.

After about half an hour, little Ivan was the first to receive news, and they were very disappointed that the Russian escort formation was in the northern waters of Socotra Island at this time, nearly 1,000 kilometers away from the place of the incident, and it was impossible to help them.

A few minutes later, Hu Zhiyun's phone call came, and the domestic fleet was in the sea area more than 200 kilometers north of Kutos at this time, which was also beyond the reach of the whip, but he told Xiao Yang that the US fleet was not far from the sea area where the incident occurred, and reminded him to inquire.

In Xiao Yang's heart, he didn't believe the Americans at all, but he didn't tell Hu Zhiyun about it on the phone, he just said that he had already contacted the people in the navy, so he didn't say anything more.

If that mysterious force makes a move, the other party can even infiltrate the CIA, compared to the navy, it is easier, if it is not good, maybe there are people from the navy involved in this matter, how can he put his hope on these people?

However, the next facts proved that his conspiracy was not so correct, just a few minutes after Hu Zhiyun's phone call, Hameis called, he told Xiao Yang that the current captain of the "Truman" aircraft carrier was his old friend, and he had asked his old friend to send an unmanned plane to the northern Yemen area of the incident area, hoping to find the ship.

"Your luck is very good, the aircraft carrier formation has been cruising in this area for more than a month, and now it is only a few dozen nautical miles away from the place of the incident, the Somali side is your territory, you are responsible for yourself, and I will let my old fellow find it for you with nothing, man and machine, if you haven't found it, then you still have to prepare a ransom."

Listening to his first words, Xiao Yang smiled bitterly.

Is this called good luck? If you're lucky, there's no such thing at all.

But what Hamis brought is good news, at least he really wants to help, but think about it, this guy is more worried about the forces behind the scenes, afraid that if something happens to Xiao Yang's side, it will involve him, so he is so concerned.

But no matter what, it's still good for them, "Let's look for it first, money and goods are small problems, people are the most important, and it is most important to figure out what the other party's purpose is, if it's those people, I don't believe it's just for money." ”

"Well, by the way, there is one more thing you have to arrange, it is not a trivial matter to dispatch unmanned and aircraft, this ship is Italian, you are familiar with the Italian side, you contact their formation, let them contact the Truman aircraft carrier......"

"Okay." Xiao Yang felt that this guy Hammis was worthy of being an old fox, and he even thought of such a small thing.

What sortie is unmanned and not trivial?

This is not a good thing at all for an aircraft carrier formation, right?

The reason why this is the case is that this guy must be worried that this matter will be grasped by the opponent, after all, there is no legitimate reason to send unmanned personnel and planes into other countries for investigation, which is a violation of the law.

Although this kind of violation is not uncommon in the American military, it is not poked out, is it? Once it is poked out, it is finally a trouble.

However, as soon as the Italian side comes forward, there is a legitimate reason for this, after all, both countries are members of the NATO bloc, and it is normal to help each other.

Italy's escort formation does not have aircraft carriers, so there are no large unmanned aircraft and aircraft, when Williams received Xiao Yang's call, he was about to call, and without waiting for Xiao Yang to speak, he took the first step to tell Xiao Yang a message:

"Three and a half hours ago, we saw this ship on our radar, but we didn't find anything abnormal, so we didn't take the initiative to contact the other party."

"Three and a half hours ago? In what location? Xiao Yang hurriedly asked.

This is good news, and it may be possible to deduce the course of the other party.

"I'll send you the coordinates, along with the other party's course at that time......"

"Okay." Xiao Yang immediately responded, and then told him about the contact with the US military, "...... You should deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for the other party to dispatch unmanned and aircraft. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Williams was a little surprised, when the headquarters contacted him, they had already made Xiao Yang's identity clear, and now Xiao Yang was able to contact the US aircraft carrier, and let them dispatch unmanned aircraft and planes to help him find a ship, which is not an ordinary ability! You must know that even if he has any mission in the Gulf of Aden, it is impossible for the US military to dispatch unmanned and aircraft, but it is only possible if the command has contact with the US Navy.

Shocked to shocked, the command gave him the order to do things according to Xiao Yang's orders within a certain authority, and obviously this matter was within his authority, so after hanging up the phone, he sent the information to Xiao Yang, and then immediately contacted the US aircraft carrier.

After receiving the information from Williams, Xiao Yang immediately handed him over to Oman and asked him to put the information on the computer.

The navies of various countries escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden have entered information on the cargo ships of their own countries entering and leaving this sea area, so the radar will definitely not deceive people, and there will definitely be no problem with the identity of the ship.

The information was displayed on the computer, and several people stood in front of them and watched.

"It was discovered three and a half hours ago, and that proved us right, that the ship was hijacked shortly after Watt contacted the company...... You see, in the shipping company, the ship at this time has lost the satellite status signal, and the warship uses radar, without calling the other party, it is normal that no abnormality is found, and more importantly, this route has deviated from the original scheduled route......"

As soon as I looked at the information, Oman said.

"Then this course may be the correct direction of the ship!" Little Ivan said right away.

"Not necessarily." Xiao Yang shook his head, from the beginning, he didn't position this group of pirates as ordinary pirates, "We can't be sure who the other party is now, maybe they know the location of the Italian escort formation and deliberately appear in the radar?" ”

"It's possible." "But it can't be ruled out that this is the right course." ”

"Well, of course it can't be ruled out." Xiao Yang motioned to Oman to enlarge the satellite map, took a closer look, and then said: "Although the tonnage of the ship is not large, it is the most advanced, the speed can reach up to 30 nautical miles, and it can run a little more than 100 nautical miles in three and a half hours, and there are no islands in the entire sea area, so I am sure that the other party must not dock......"

Looking at the map, the Italian convoy found that the sea area of the ship was in the center of the north-south direction of the Gulf of Aden, and it was more than 200 kilometers away from Yemen and Somalia, so no matter what, it would definitely not be able to reach the shore in three and a half hours.

You know, he still calculates this with the fastest speed and the shortest route, in fact, the ship is at sea, and it can't do this at all.

"Didn't the Americans dispatch unmanned aircraft on their side? I guess it's very likely that they're coming to Somalia and letting the drones change the direction of the reconnaissance? Little Ivan stared at the map for a while, and proposed a direction opposite to the route on which the information was mounted.

"Why do you think you're coming to Somalia?"

As soon as he said this, Xiao Yang and Aman's eyes were on him.
