.
Nanyue State, North Sea.
The Steel Vessel's fictitious radio distress distress signal attracted another ship.
"Zero Yuan, we have received a distress call. Please state your ship's nationality!"
This radio message was actually from Indonesia's Mud Thick. However, it was obvious that Mud Thick was not a friendly ship. Not only did it not state its nationality, but it also did not state its name. Instead, it asked for the ship's nationality.
Mud Thick's intention was obvious. First, it wanted to find out the nationality of Zero Yuan's ship. Then, it would decide whether to save its crew.
Indonesia and Xia Xia had a bad relationship. If Zero Yuan stated that it was Xia Xia's ship, it would definitely not be able to get help from Mud Thick. It might even be attacked by Mud Thick!
Izur's advanced logical thinking module could not determine such a deep meaning. However, it did not prevent Izur from giving the correct answer.
The whole Black Lamb plan was to pretend that the ship was damaged and wait for rescue. Then, it would selectively destroy the ships that came to rescue them. It would deliberately create an illusion and shift the ownership of Steel Cruise Ship.
In order to attract other ships to help, the ship waiting for rescue had to be welcomed by the other party. Only then could it be rescued.
Izur could not determine the nationality of the other party's ship, nor could he determine the other party's situation. Therefore, he activated Shi Lei's preset plan.
"Hello, we are a Singaporean ship. There is a problem with our ship. It is leaking.
Please come and rescue us. Thank you very much! "
In Shi Lei's Black Lamb plan, if he could not determine the ship's nationality, he would reply that it was a Singaporean ship.
In Southeast Asia, Singapore had a special status. It was an existence that all forces wanted to be on good terms with. Ships that pretended to be Singaporean would be rescued by all Southeast Asian ships.
As expected, after Izur's reply, Mud Thick sent a radio message.
"Zero Yuan, we are Indonesia's Mud Thick. We are rushing to your location. Please hold on."
The second prey had taken the bait!
While Mud Thick was rushing over, three more radio messages were sent. They were from Xia Xia, Voisin, and Lijian Province.
Under Izur's guidance, the ships from the three countries also rushed to the location of the fake shipwreck.
About twenty minutes later, the ships of the four countries entered their line of sight at about the same time.
The so-called visual range was usually 40 kilometers on the sea.
When the four ships appeared, Izur sent out six Steel Fleets.
These six Iron Ships were still fully loaded with missiles. The other six Iron Ships fired one air-to-air missile and one air-to-surface missile respectively, leaving only two missiles.
The six Iron Ships were fully loaded with missiles. They were divided into three groups of two and pounced on the corresponding three targets.
The four rescue ships communicated with each other via radio and discovered that something was wrong.
Although they found that there was a problem, they still decided to go to the site of the accident to check it out.
When Izur contacted the four ships, there was actually a big loophole, which was that he had taken the nationality of several ships.
The four ships used radio communications to communicate and immediately discovered this huge loophole.
When they entered their line of sight, they used binoculars to check the site of the accident. Although they found the wreckage of Kohai No. 3 floating on the sea when it sank, they also found the wreckage of Golden Boat. This situation alerted the four ships.
The six Iron Ships were divided into three groups. They pounced on the ships of Xia Xia, Indonesia, and Voisin respectively. They only let the ships of Lijian Province go.
Indonesia's Mud Thick was a small transport ship with a displacement of more than 100 tons. The two Iron Ships fired Arrow B air-to-air missiles and Arrow A air-to-surface missiles from three nautical miles away.
Four missiles, two from the front and two from the back, blew Mud Thick into pieces.
Not only that, but the nationality of Mud Thick was also on the list of targets of the Black Sheep Plan.
Izur controlled the Iron Ship and flew close to the sea level toward Mud Thick, which was three nautical miles away.
The normal speed of the Iron Ship was 220km/h. In other words, it was 3.67 kilometers per minute. It could cover the distance of three nautical miles in less than two minutes.
On the other side, the ships of Xia Xia, Voisin, and Lijian Province witnessed Indonesia's Mud Thick being blown into a fireball. The ships of the three countries desperately wanted to escape.
Unfortunately, in the Black Sheep Plan, the script did not arrange for all of them to escape successfully.
The two Iron Ships that were chasing Voisin fired four missiles, just like how they dealt with Indonesia's Mud Thick. They easily blew up Voisin's ship into pieces.
However, the two Iron Ships that were chasing Xia Xia did not fire the missiles in a hurry. Instead, Izur was carefully calculating how to control the position of the missiles so that they would not sink Xia Xia's ship.
After all, that ship belonged to Xia Xia. Shi Lei was not crazy enough to attack an innocent ship of his own country.
Using the optical main cameras of the two Iron Ships and the radar system, Izur successfully calculated the result. He controlled the two Iron Ships and fired two Arrow B air-to-air missiles.
One of the air-to-air missiles hit the bow of Xia Xia's ship. Although the deck was blown up, the seawater did not enter the ship.
The other missile did not hit the hull of the ship. Instead, it exploded in the seawater beside it.
After firing the two air-to-air missiles, the two Iron Ships did not continue to fire. They chose to stop.
The ship from Lijian Province was called Freedom Navigation. Its captain was Joseph.
Joseph saw the destruction of Indonesia's and Voisin's ships through the telescope. Even Xia Xia's ship was attacked. He was filled with despair.
Under normal circumstances, the ships of the world's superpowers were safer sailing in the sea.
If the Iron Ships had only destroyed Indonesia's ship, Joseph might not have been so worried.
However, the Iron Ships had attacked Voisin's and Xia Xia's ships. There was no reason why they would not attack Lijian Province's ships.
Just as Joseph was feeling hopeless, a voice message came from the radio communicator in the control room.
"Ship's nationality confirmed. Freedom Navigation, are you a ship from Lijian Province?" The slightly hoarse voice was created by Izur's human emotion simulation module.
Joseph did not understand what Izur meant. However, he took a gamble. He picked up the radio communicator and replied carefully, "We are a ship from Lijian Province!"
"Confirm the ship's registration number!" Izur continued to imitate the hoarse voice and asked Joseph on the Freedom Navigation.
The ship's registration number was a rule that Lijian Province used to manage cargo ships. It was similar to a license plate number. Every ship's number was unique.
"1-1520-6655. This is our ship's serial number. Please verify it!"
A glimmer of hope rose in Joseph's heart. From the information the other party had asked, he had analyzed that the other party might be a power from Lijian Province.
If it was a power from Lijian Province, then the Freedom Navigation might be able to survive.
Xia Xia's ship was called Bright Distance. It was a medium-sized cargo ship. Although the bow of the ship had been hit by an air-to-air missile, there had been no crew members on the deck at the time. Furthermore, the damage had been relatively high, so there was no need to worry about seawater flooding in for the time being.
After Bright Distance had been attacked, the captain had nervously given the order to leave. At the same time, he had hoped that the other party would not pursue them.
Perhaps his prayers had moved the heavens, but in reality, Shi Lei had not given the order to destroy Xia Xia's ship in his plan.
Therefore, even though Bright Distance had been in a sorry state, it had still been able to leave safely.
Izur checked the ship's registration number on the Lijian Province's network. Other than confirming the ship's nationality, it was also to create a record.
After completing the check, Izur imitated a hoarse voice and contacted the Freedom Navigation through a radio communication device.
"Leave this place. You are not allowed to reveal any information.
Otherwise, you will not be spared the next time! "
Joseph, the captain of the Freedom Navigation, had an incredulous look on his face. Then, he immediately promised, "Please rest assured that we will not reveal any information!"
After speaking, the Freedom Navigation immediately set sail at full speed and left this troublesome place.
However, would they really be able to avoid trouble so easily?
In this area, a Nanyue State's military escort ship had been sunk. Nanchao, Voisin and Indonesia's cargo ships had all been sunk. One of Xia Xia's cargo ships had "luckily" escaped, but it had suffered considerable damage.
Only the Lijian Province's Freedom Navigation had managed to escape unhurriedly. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was a problem.
After further investigation, the relevant powers of the country would discover that the ship's registration information had been checked on the Lijian Province's network. Then, the Freedom Navigation had left "easily." All of this pointed to a problem.
The powers that had attacked the various countries' ships were most likely related to the Lijian Province.
If they were not related to the Lijian Province, why would they let the Lijian Province's ships go?
The various powers of the various countries would also speculate whether this was a frame-up.
However, in reality, which country would do such a thing to frame the Lijian Province?
Or rather, what motive would they have for doing so?
If there was no motive or purpose, then the Lijian Province's suspicions would be greatly increased.
Since the Lijian Province was suspected of doing this, then the countries that had been harmed would naturally look for the Lijian Province to argue about it. The Nanyue State would also look for the Lijian Province.
Thus, the Nanyue State would not be able to figure out who exactly they had besieged on Meishan Island. This would also completely muddy the waters. At the same time, the Steel Cruise Ship would not have anything to do with Xia Xia.
The core purpose of the entire Black Sheep Project had been completely achieved.
As for whether the Lijian Province would debate and whether the other countries believed it, that was their business!
In any case, Shi Lei only knew one thing.
How could yellow mud not be shit when it fell on one's crotch?
