The news that the Horizontal was detained by the Malaysian police and the Atomic Energy Agency on the grounds of carrying nuclear industry quickly spread to the country.
When many netizens heard the news, their brains did not respond for a while.
What's the situation?
Is there a secret national plan that was destroyed by the Americans?
Yes, this kind of thing, not to mention insiders, even ordinary people think of the first behind-the-scenes manipulator is the United States. Because looking at the world, only this country has the ability to do such a thing in the Straits of Malacca.
The news was quickly dug further, and netizens discovered that this was not a national project. It was a ship of Monster Industries carrying mining engineering equipment that was detained.
On the official website of Monster Industries, there was not much justification. It only released the final destination port of the Horizontal and the ninety-nine-year mining area development document signed with the Nigerian government.
To the country of Nigeria, transporting products related to the nuclear industry, and possibly helping the country of Nigeria to build nuclear weapons?
The netizens suddenly exploded with anger.
"I'm going to laugh my teeth off, okay? I Baidu, that ghost country, the annual GDP is not as much as the GDP of a township in my hometown. Building nuclear weapons? I beg the Americans to tell me, how to build it? "
"Shameless Americans, this is obviously to retaliate against Monster Industries. It must be the previous long-range driving test that made them angry. "
"Nigeria, a place where less than 5% of the country is electrified, the Americans say they want to build nuclear weapons. Can they find a decent excuse?"
"Angry, what is our country waiting for, hurry up and seize one of their cargo ships."
...
The Lord's Battleship passed quickly on the sea level.
Four jet thrusters blew the seawater into magnificent walls of water.
If anyone can see this scene, they will feel like they have seen a monster.
The Lord's Battleship still has a yacht shell used for camouflage, but its speed has reached 150 knots. In addition to the F1 racing boat built by humans in pursuit of extreme speed, no ship can compete with the Lord's Battleship in speed.
But the racing boat is only a variant of the motorboat. It has nothing but speed and can't sail long distances. The Lord's Battleship can carry thousands of tons of cargo and has the ability to submerge into the water for intercontinental movement.
The Lord's Battleship is expected to arrive at the position of the Horizontal in seven hours.
Although Ye Qing had decided to fight to the end, after careful calculation, he realized that Ye Qing only had a single Lord class warship. He had no other means of retaliation.
Just as Bertram, the CEO of Raytheon Technology, had said, no matter how well the civilian industrial technology was played, it was at best a shield that could only passively defend. If it were Raytheon Corporation, they would be able to come up with no less than ten military countermeasures.
It has been half an hour since the evacuation of the Malaysian Marine Police. The Horizontal Aircraft picked up the anchor, restarted the wheel, and moved towards the predetermined target.
The Peregrine Falcon hovered above the Horizontal, and Ye Qing was thinking about countermeasures.
While he was thinking, Captain Fang Yunxin's strange voice suddenly came from the speaker in the cockpit. "Boss … I received a call request from an unmarked source on the radio. It's looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Ye Qing was also surprised. "Bring him in."
The call was quickly connected. Ye Qing calmly asked who the other party was in English.
"We are the new maritime law enforcement agency commissioned by the IAEA, Mr. Ye. Since you decided to move forward, we will wait for the arrival of the Horizontal Aircraft at the edge of Gray Strait." The voice in the speaker was calm. "Our dignity is not to be challenged, so I advise you for the last time, turn around and return."
"Is that so?" Ye Qing said to the calm voice, "Let me guess, what gives you confidence?"
"If you intend to intercept the Horizontal at sea, or on the high seas, it can only be a ship. On the edge of Gray Strait, the closest base to the UA Navy is the Fifth Fleet stationed in Arabia. Are you a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, a Burke-class destroyer, or a Perry-class frigate? "
The person on the other side of the loudspeaker laughed and replied in pure American English, "None of them. You're talking about warships. This is just an investigation launched against a civilian cargo ship. Sending a warship will obviously escalate the situation. So we are just a patrol ship responsible for maritime security and humanitarian rescue, or a coast guard ship. "
"Of course, even a patrol ship is an unparalleled existence for any civilian ship."
"Mr. Ye, we will wait quietly on the edge of Gray Strait."
"I look forward to meeting you." Ye Qing's tone was still calm.
The call ended, but Ye Qing showed an imperceptible wry smile. Sure enough, the development of the situation did not exceed his expectations. The Energy Bureau did not make emergency arrangements after the Malaysian Marine Police retreated, but they had already planned to place a patrol ship on the edge of the high seas.
The Fifth Fleet base was more than 3,000 kilometers away. Even if the patrol ship cruised in the Arabian Sea before, it would take nearly three days to reach the edge of Gray Strait.
This …
It was a situation that was almost unsolvable.
According to Ye Qing's knowledge, the UA seemed to like to build bigger ships. Even a patrol ship was a large ship with ocean-going capabilities and was loaded with weapons.
Courage could not stop the enemy. Knowing that it was impossible to do it, it was useless except for leaving behind a joke.
It was not possible to let the Horizontal crash into the muzzle, nor was it possible to avoid the route. The patrol ship could contact the Peregrine Falcon through the radio, which already explained that their whereabouts were completely exposed.
Two minutes later, the Peregrine Falcon hovering above the Horizontal soared into the sky, turned on supersonic mode, and swept over the Gray Strait.
The Peregrine Falcon could reach the distance of 800 kilometers in 20 minutes.
Gray Strait.
This was the best route for ocean-going ships to enter the African continent after passing through the Strait of Malacca. The straits after ten degrees north were all international public straits. Any ship sailing here did not need to report to any country.
Of course, in the high seas, it did not mean that they could be lawless.
There were no countries in the high seas, but ships had countries.
After reaching the sky above Gray Strait, the Peregrine Falcon swooped to a height of 5,000 meters and searched along the tenth degree line.
Ye Qing wanted to see what kind of patrol ship it was.
The sea here was blue. Looking down from the sky, within a radius of tens of kilometers, ships were like small paper boats released from the lake. In the field of vision, there were about 20 giant ships.
Warships and cargo ships were easy to distinguish. At least at this height, the difference between container ships, oil tankers, and bulk cargo ships could be distinguished.
Continuing forward, Ye Qing thought that it would take some twists and turns to search. He did not expect that after searching for only a hundred kilometers, a pure white ship would appear in front of Ye Qing's eyes.
It was a two-masted ship with a displacement of about 3,500 tons.
As the Peregrine Falcon approached, he could see the helipad at the stern, the rapid-fire cannon at the bow, and the air and sea search radars above the cabin.
