In the eastern Gulf of Aden, a merchant ship full of cargo is sailing forward quickly.

Behind, two fast boats chased each other reluctantly.

"Billy, how about it? Haven't you contacted the nearby countries to escort naval forces?"

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

"It's still...not yet, Captain."

At this time, the technicians were already sweating profusely: "The nearby waters are windy and waves, and the escort fleets of America and France have never appeared here."

"As for the escort fleets of other countries, it is even more unlikely to appear..."

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

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

I thought that the recent rampant pirates have eased, so there shouldn't be any problems.

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

The location I am now is very awkward. It is far away from the land and there are no escort fleets of various countries nearby to guard it.

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

Although there must be some protective power on such merchant ships that seek life near the Gulf of Aden.

But it is still not enough to see in front of the fierce pirates.

On the two small boats behind them, the AK47 in the hands of the pirates can be clearly seen.

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

Even though he had a certain counterattack ability on the merchant ship, Chris didn't feel that he had any chance of winning.

The first mate, who had been following Chris without saying a word, secretly looked at his captain's red and white face, and was very nervous.

Pirates in the Gulf of Aden have always been soft but not hard.

If the merchant ship stopped to beg for mercy just now, the pirates might not have taken any ruthless action after getting on the ship.

But if you are caught up again after running away, the problem may be serious.

Maybe the pirates will hurt the lives of innocent people in anger.

He is neither the captain nor the first mate, which is suitable for pirates to kill chickens to warn monkeys.

Just as Chris and the first mate were in a state of palpitations, the technician in front of him who contacted the radio suddenly shouted.

"I've contacted the high-frequency radio channel 16!"

After hearing this, Chris quickly said to his technician: "Hurry, send a signal to the other party and ask for rescue."

The technician whined and quickly responded.

Before he could start the sound, there was a sound coming from the channel.

"The Chinese Navy escort fleet's 'Coconut City' warship, please indicate your identity."

"This is the merchant ship of the Apennine Toti Trading Company. We are now pursuing pirates in the eastern waters of the Gulf of Aden, asking for support, asking for support."

The technician quickly explained the situation encountered by the ship.

During his story, Chris's hands were trembling throughout the whole process.

At this moment, all this person's expectations have been put on this communication.

Although Chris did not know when China began to send a fleet to participate in the escort operation in the Gulf of Aden, it was not the time to care about these things.

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

With the high speed of a naval warship, as long as the Estin and the pirate can deal with each other for a while, the other party should be able to arrive.

After the technician reported to his home, a "wait" sound soon came from the communication.

Of course, Chris can understand what's going on.

It must be someone who escorted the fleet to check the authenticity of his subordinates' words.

With the current development of the Internet, it is estimated that there will be a definite answer in one or two minutes.

Sure enough, a response came from the other end of the phone soon.

"Is your captain here? We need to talk to him and confirm it!"

Chris quickly pushed away the technician, came to the side of the communication and said, "I am the captain, Alabama Chris."

On the other side of the communication, after asking a few questions, the other party did not continue to ask the bottom line.

Needless to say, the authenticity of Chris's identity must have been confirmed.

"Captain Chris, my department has already understood your situation. Next, please be sure to hear the questions I asked clearly and give the answer."

"Yes, I understand."

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

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

"very good!"

On the other side of the communication, the young voice continued to ask, "How many ships are there in total for the pirates chasing you? What is the firepower configuration?"

Chris turned to look at the first mate, who immediately touched him and slapped in his ear and told him what had been discovered.

When the first mate was speaking, Chris recounted to the communications side intact.

"The pirates use two small speedboats. In terms of firepower, you can see six or seven AK47s, and two other machine guns."

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

After Chris finished speaking, the communication end was silent for a moment and soon gave instructions.

"Captain Chris, now you change your course and continue sailing 16° to the eastward direction of the north, and increase your speed to the fastest."

Chris was stunned for a moment and wanted to tell the other party that his merchant ship could not maintain the maximum speed.

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

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

"Our rescue personnel will arrive in about 20 minutes. After arriving, we will face the pirates head-on, and you can take your own protection."

It only took 20 minutes for the Chinese rescuers to arrive, Chris finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain Chris, are you listening?"

Hearing the problem on the other end of the communication, Chris came to his senses and quickly agreed: "Listen! We will definitely cooperate with your actions."

"Okay, then that's how it goes. I'm going to start the arrangement here!"

"Okay~ OK~ OK..."

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

Taking a deep breath, Chris turned his head back.

He gestured to the technician and asked him to continue to be responsible for the maintenance of communications.

He himself whispered to the first mate and signaled him to speak to the other side.

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

When the two walked to the corner of the command cabin, they felt like they were alive.

"Garrison, after the rescue personnel of the Chinese escort fleet arrive later, you can take a few people to the stern to respond. You cannot let others get close to you and be attacked by pirates."

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

Chris nodded and continued: "From the tone of the man just now, the one sent by China should be a regular navy. As long as you can get close, there will basically be no problem."

Hearing this, the first mate Garrison seemed to think of something.
Chapter completed!
