The signal from the Quinjet was sent to the tanker. At the same time, the air-to-sea missiles on the fighter plane had been unlocked and were ready to be fired at any time.
"This is far from the coast of the United States, and it is no longer in the exclusive economic waters of the United States. This is international waters, and the US government has no right to ask us to stop the ship for inspection! "The captain of the tanker did not stop, but replied with a message of refusal.
Legally speaking, there was nothing wrong with this, because according to the law of the sea, the territorial sea within 13 nautical miles of the coastline was included in the national territory, and 200 nautical miles outside the coastline was the exclusive economic zone.
Now the ship was still far from New York Harbor. At the speed of the tanker, it would take at least a day to see New York Harbor. This was obviously not international waters under the jurisdiction of the United States.
The Weather Witch in the Quinjet directly grabbed the communicator from the pilot, "Cut the crap, this is the Coast Guard of the US government. We ask you to stop the ship immediately, or we will sink you directly! The US government will do what it says! "
After that, the Weather Witch threw the communicator back to the pilot. The agent of S.H.E.L.D. looked at the Weather Witch with a dumbfounded face, "You seem to be from the Spear Game, and you're from China."
The Weather Witch shrugged indifferently, "So what? Isn't this how the United States deals with problems anyway? "Well, the agent of S.H.E.L.D. was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Of course, there was one thing that the Weather Witch didn't answer, that was, she had wanted to do this for a long time, but she didn't have this opportunity in China. Now that she had the opportunity, she had to do it!
The Quinjet's fire-control radar had locked on to the tanker. Four air-to-sea missiles were in place.
There was no place to hide in the ocean. As long as they were sure that the Lord Man was on the ship, it was likely that they would be able to kill him this time. According to Iron Man's intelligence, the Lord Man's ship was likely to have other members of the Ten Rings Gang.
Perhaps this would be a big problem on land, because as long as they spread out, it would be difficult to catch them again. But where could they escape to in the vast ocean?
There were still hundreds of nautical miles away from the nearest land, New York Harbor! Without a boat, even if each terrorist had the combat power of two, three, or even five American teams, they would still die of exhaustion in the sea.
After the warning of the Quinjet and the threat of missiles, the tanker did slow down. They are stopping the ship!
This was a little out of the Weather Witch's expectations. If she were the Lord Man, she would never have stopped the ship at this time. Because the Lord Man was not mentally retarded, he knew that the Coast Guard could not be equipped with advanced fighters like the Quinjet.
Other than S.H.E.L.D., only a small number of elite US troops and the navy's special aircraft carrier fleet could be equipped with this. At most, the Coast Guard was equipped with some coastal battleships and catamaran and trimaran fast ships.
This kind of test was just to lure the snake out of its hole. What if Tony's information was wrong? They couldn't really blow up a 200,000-ton civilian oil tanker into the sky, right? In that case, the international public opinion would explode.
That was why Agent S.H.E.L.D. wasn't so harsh with her words just now. But after the Weather Witch grabbed the communicator, she was very rude and used force to warn him.
Yeah, who cares. I'm not S.H.E.L.D. anyway, and I'm not under the control of the US government. Go complain to Zheng Xian if you dare! Let's see if he dares to punish me.
On the Helicarrier.
"Captain, the tanker slowed down and stopped. It looks like it's really ready to be inspected. "Coulson, who was in charge of intelligence monitoring, told Captain Rogers what happened below.
"Stopped? Do they really have nothing to do with the Lord Man? Once this kind of civilian oil tanker stops, it's a big project to ignite the gas turbine again to push the ship forward. Without half an hour of warm-up and acceleration, the speed can't be raised at all. " Captain Rogers was not very sure, but he still made a decision that a commander should have.
Even if there is only a one percent possibility, the problem must be dealt with as a hundred percent.
"Listen to my orders, Quinjet team. Team one, team three, and team five take off. F22 fighter squadron, team one, mount weapons, and prepare to take off in ten minutes! "Under Rogers' orders, the entire Helicarrier began to get busy.
Quinjet is a vertical take-off and landing fighter with a very fast take-off speed. The F22 needs to do a run-up for a certain distance. However, taking off from the Helicarrier requires a much shorter distance than taking off from an aircraft carrier on the sea. That's why the Helicarrier is equipped with F22 instead of F35.
Just as the fighter formation began to move in an orderly manner according to Captain Rogers' orders, the 200,000-ton tanker came to a complete stop on the sea.
At this time, the tanker was still 915 nautical miles away from the New York Harbor.
Just when the Weather Witch wondered if Tony Stark's intelligence was wrong and was about to board the ship for inspection, the originally motionless tanker suddenly began to move.
It didn't start to sail, but its top deck began to deform and fold. The originally wide deck of 280 meters by 50 meters began to fold and fold to both sides! This was originally the most important sealing device of the tanker, but the deck that mimicked oil volatilization was actually only a thin layer.
Both sides of the tanker also began to drain out, or to be precise, oil. The crude oil that was originally used as a camouflage was directly dumped on the sea. Although there wasn't much of it as a camouflage, far less than 200,000 tons. But there were still 20 tons.
The originally blue sea was polluted by a large amount of oil. The crude oil floating on the sea looked colorful after being refracted by the sun.
As someone who has dealt with the Lord Man many times, the Weather Witch suddenly had a very bad feeling in her heart. She knew that there was something wrong with this matter.
Almost subconsciously, she thought that the agents in the fighter planes were her subordinates in the Spear Game, so she shouted, "Fire!"
"What?" The agents of S.H.E.L.D. naturally wouldn't listen to her orders. But at this time, the Weather Witch also realized that these people weren't her subordinates.
But it didn't matter. She directly grabbed the control of the pilot and fired the four missiles that had already been aimed at them in one breath. And that's not all. Then she emptied the remaining 16 missiles in one breath.
Twenty deadly missiles left a trail of white smoke in the air as they flew towards the oil tanker, dragging an orange hot tail flame behind them.
"Who ordered to fire!" On the Helicarrier, Coulson got angry for the first time.
"It's the Weather Witch, she forced the firing." The personnel below immediately reported the situation at the time.
Coulson glanced at Captain Rogers. Captain Rogers immediately ordered, "All fighters lift the firing limit, repeat, lift the firing limit. Fire at will if you find the enemy! I repeat, fire at will! "
As the Quinjet formation moved through the clouds towards the tanker, the F22 fighter squadron completed their preparations and was ready to taxi and take off.
Twenty missiles flew towards the tanker at high speed, ready to blow the ship into pieces. The seawater around the giant oil tanker seemed to have come alive. Huge waves rose from the sea, reaching a height of 100 meters and a thickness of 30 meters. It was as if someone had stirred the trident of Poseidon, summoning the monstrous seawater.
At the moment the waves appeared, a freezing light focused on the waves. The originally blue waves condensed in an instant, and in less than half a second, they had turned into a crystal clear ice wall.
He could even see many fishes on the ice wall. They had been swept up by the waves and instantly froze.
The twenty missiles that should have destroyed the tanker were blocked by the ice wall that appeared out of thin air. They didn't even touch the side of the tanker before they hit the ice wall and caused a violent explosion. Twenty missiles destroyed the magnificent ice wall shield.
The Weather Witch knew that the Lord Man must be on board. And the other agents who witnessed all this also knew where their enemies were now.
All the weapons were unlocked, and all the missiles had begun to lock on. The overwhelming firepower was about to follow.
But it was too late.
"Roar!!!" A loud roar came from inside the tanker. Following that, an enormous dark green creature broke out of its cocoon. It was the special force that the Lord Man had painstakingly built up over the years, the Dragon Knights!
When the first giant dragon, almost 100 meters long, appeared, more dragons of various sizes flew out of the tanker. There were dragons almost 100 meters long, and dragons around 7 meters long.
There were more than 500 of them. A majestic man hovered in the air, standing on a dragon that was 100 meters long. The Lord Man, Zhang Tong!
He glanced at the fighter jets that kept flying out of the clouds and estimated their position. He raised his hand and pointed it at the Helicarrier, which was more than 50,000 meters above him.
The images transmitted by the fighter jets below shocked the people inside the Helicarrier.
"Dragons! There really is a Dragon Troop!" Even Shang Qi, who had provided the information first, was shocked. All their previous thoughts were just speculations. They did not have any actual proof. And now, the appearance of close to 500 Wyverns of various sizes made the situation even more unclear.
The Weather Witch in the Quinjet on the sea was also shocked by this scene. But she soon found her old rival, the Lord Man.
He stood on the head of the dragon, pointing in the direction of the Helicarrier S.H.E.L.D. with one hand. She suddenly thought of something bad.
"Captain Rogers! Tell your people to abandon ship and escape! "the Weather Witch shouted in the communicator.
"What?" Captain Rogers and the people of S.H.E.L.D. had never dealt with Zhang Tong before, so they did not know what the Weather Witch was doing.
But the Weather Witch's shout reminded Shang Qi.
Shang Qi immediately said, "Let everyone board a plane that can evacuate. Quinjets and transport planes are fine! Looks like the Lord Man has found us. "
"What are you talking about?" Hawkeye, who had been following Shang Qi, asked in confusion, "Are you that afraid of the Lord Man?"
"It's not that we're afraid, but …"
Shang Qi had not finished explaining, but he did not need to explain what happened next.
Without warning, a beam of light only as thick as a pinky finger was emitted from a ring on the Lord Man's hand. The light was not dazzling, nor was it very eye-catching.
It did not even look as spectacular as the pulse cannon fired by the Iron Man. But it was such a thin beam of light that crossed the height difference of 50,000 meters and directly attacked the position of the Helicarrier.
Wherever the beam of light went, the clouds were cut open layer by layer, just like a sponge cake meeting a cake knife. It was extremely smooth and even gave people a soft feeling.
The clouds broke, and the sun shone down. The Helicarrier S.H.E.L.D. suffered an incredible blow.
The Lord Man gently moved his hand, making the beam of light make a cutting motion. After that, he calmly put his hand back into his pocket. If it were not for the broken clouds, it would seem as if nothing had happened just now.
Fifty thousand meters away, the Helicarrier S.H.E.L.D. was cut in half, and the cut was as smooth as a mirror.
The first meeting between S.H.E.L.D. and Zhang Tong began with the crash of a Helicarrier on S.H.E.L.D...
