"It's a Hamilton-class patrol ship with a displacement of 3,250 tons. Its weapons include naval guns, dense close-range defense systems, and rapid-fire cannons. "
Fang Yunxin, who retired as an Air Force pilot, introduced it to Ye Qing through the headset: "This kind of patrol ship does not belong to the Navy. It originally belonged to the Coast Guard. Later, some of the retired ships were given to other countries and new ships were exported to other countries. Although this kind of patrol ship is a bit old, after several modernization upgrades, it is still very powerful in electronic information, more powerful than the regular naval ships of a large number of countries. "
"By the way ~ Boss, this kind of patrol ship has a maximum speed of 32 knots and a range of up to 14,000 nautical miles."
The Peregrine Falcon discovered them, and they naturally discovered the Peregrine Falcon.
So the voice of the captain not long ago came again in the radio. He said in a smiling tone that he, on behalf of all the officers and men of the patrol ship Brownwood, welcomed Mr. Ye's inspection and the upcoming arrival of the Level.
The Peregrine Falcon circled twice and returned to the sky above the Level.
"Boss, why don't we order the Level to return? If we go like this, the Level will definitely be intercepted by them. "Fang Yunxin hesitated for a long time and finally summoned the courage to speak out her inner thoughts.
This is not fear, but a temporary retreat.
"I know."
"But ~ if it's just a patrol ship and equipped with the weapons you said, I think I have a way to deal with it." Ye Qing spoke while turning on the laptop on the desk.
He entered a string of passwords, and a prompt appeared on the screen. Dozens of seconds later, through the satellite network, he was successfully connected to Dian Jing in Zhongyun City.
"Boss, you asked for me."
"Yes, you are now on the electronic nautical chart, marking the location and speed of several ships. I will send you the data, and at the same time, you mark the location of the base of the U. S. Fifth Fleet. Use the computer to simulate, the Level is in the Strait of Grete, at maximum speed, can escape the interception of the ships coming from the Fifth Fleet base. "
The simulation was very simple, and it took less than a minute for Dian Jing to transmit the simulation results.
With the western Indian Ocean, the territorial waters of Madagascar facing the African continent as the endpoint. The Level started from the Strait of Grete and competed with the warships of the Fifth Fleet at the same time.
In the end … the levelling system failed.
Even if the Horizontal Cruiser sprinted at its maximum speed, it would still be overtaken by the Fifth Fleet in the waters 1,000 kilometers away from Madagascar.
This was because the Horizontal was just a flat freighter with a maximum speed of 24 knots, which couldn't be maintained for too long. On the other hand, the warship's maximum speed was 35 knots, and it could maintain its maximum speed at all times.
Regardless of whether it changed its course or sought refuge in other countries' waters, the Horizontal was unable to shake off the pursuit of the warships.
"Then … include the power of the Lord class warship as well." Ye Qing decided to go all out and do something big.
A Lord-class battleship could reach a speed of 150 knots on the surface of the water. In order for a ship with a load of several thousand tons to reach this speed, the horsepower required was even greater than that of a ten-thousand-ton cruiser.
Dozens of seconds later, the results were out.
This time, the Horizontal was far ahead of the warship chasing from the Fifth Fleet base, leading by 1500 kilometers.
As long as they leave the high seas and enter the waters of other countries, it would be impossible for the warships to catch up with the Horizontal.
"Let's do it."
Ye Qing took a deep breath. Since the United States was personally involved. Let them see, even if there was no possibility of resistance, Monster Industries would create a miracle.
… …
A total of twelve Hamilton-class patrol ships were produced. The Fifth Fleet's ship was handed over to be upgraded after the retirement of the United States Coast Guard. It became an active security ship in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea.
It was named the Brownwood.
Now the Brownwood was quietly anchored in the Strait of Gray, waiting for the arrival of the Horizontal.
Three hours later, a dolphin helicopter carried by the Brownwood picked up the three unlucky IAEA investigators from Banda Aceh, which was closest to the Strait of Gray.
As soon as they got off the helicopter, the IAEA investigators headed by Casimir complained to Captain Broughton that the Monster Industries was arrogant, not only resisting law enforcement, but also dared to shoot and attack the Malaysian Marine Police.
"This kind of arrogance must be severely cracked down." In the control room, Casimir forcefully pulled the tie of his suit and said with lingering fear, "At that time, I really thought I was going to die. Mr. Captain, you don't know, that employee's marksmanship was faster than the interception speed of the dense formation. I stood next to him, but I didn't see how he shot. "
"Don't worry, we are not the waste of the Malaysian Marine Police. As long as the Horizontal enters the high seas, we can intercept it immediately. "
"Everyone, please look." Captain Broughton pointed to the electronic chart on the holographic screen and said, "After four hours of sailing, the Horizontal has reached the waters of Banda Aceh. In five hours, it will enter the high seas."
"Five hours …" Casimir looked at his watch and said with some concern, "Five hours later, it will be late at night here. Will the Horizontal escape under the cover of the night? "
"Don't worry." Captain Broughton patted him on the shoulder.
"Our patrol ship is equipped with a sea search radar. The sea level has a curvature. Our radar search range is fixed at 40 kilometers, but the AIS ship positioning system has been tracking."
Hearing this, the three investigators nodded vigorously and vowed to get back the face they lost in the morning.
Time passed little by little. On the electronic chart, the red dot representing the Horizontal was also steadily moving forward.
Four and a half hours later, on the electronic chart, the Horizontal was only 70 kilometers away from the patrol ship Brownwood, which was on standby.
The Dolphin helicopter, which was fully fueled, immediately took off with a roar. The searchlight hanging under the belly of the helicopter swept in the direction of the Horizontal like a radar. Twenty minutes later, the Dolphin helicopter arrived above the Horizontal.
The patrol ship Brownwood had already started its steam turbine and was sprinting at maximum speed.
The night was as dark as ink, and the boundless ocean was swallowed by darkness. The pale red crescent moon hung high in the sky, seemingly indifferent, watching the ocean that was destined to have extraordinary events.
"This is the patrol ship Brownwood, ahead is the cargo ship 0772 Horizontal. Please follow the guidance of the helicopter light and stop the ship for inspection."
"This is the Brownwood …"
The captain's calm voice came from the radio of the Horizontal.
As soon as the voice fell, the roar of the rotor rotation came from above the Horizontal. The strong light from the helicopter's searchlight was firmly fixed on the bright green deck of the Horizontal.
At this moment, the Horizontal seemed to have become a ghost ship. There was no radio response, and there was no change in course. Follow the guidance of the helicopter's light.
"Bang, bang, bang ~"
Three thunderous sounds burst from the deck of the Brownwood, which was drawing nearer and nearer.
Then, three 76mm large-caliber tracers, like three lightning bolts, roared across the sky of the Horizontal.
"This is the last warning, please answer immediately, or we will take military measures."
Just as Captain Broughton was about to repeat, the sea search radar that had been on suddenly issued a warning.
On the radar, on the originally empty Horizontal, an unknown ship suddenly appeared out of nowhere and rushed toward the patrol ship Brownwood at a speed of 45 knots.
"What's the situation?" Captain Broughton was scared out of his wits.
