Pirates were an ancient profession that had been passed down for thousands of years. They were still active in the dark corners of the world's oceans.
The most famous pirate gathering spot was Somalia.
There were no rumors of pirates appearing in the waters around the Xia Xia.
Pirates usually targeted commercial ships, especially commercial ships that did not have armed protection.
When Lijian Province's small corvette class patrol ship, Seahawk No.3, received a wireless message from Izur, the eleven people on the ship fell into a state of disbelief.
Although Seahawk No.3 was only a small corvette, it was still a corvette, a corvette equipped with all kinds of advanced weapons!
"Captain, was I hallucinating just now?" Helmsman Tom asked Captain Rudell Peter beside him.
Seahawk No.3 was equipped with a small caliber naval cannon, two missile launchers, and several large caliber shipboard machine guns.
With so many weapons, even a blind person would know that Seahawk No.3 was not to be trifled with.
Moreover, Seahawk No.3 had the Lijian Province's flag on its stern, which meant that it was a ship from Lijian Province.
Lijian Province was the world's largest country. Ships from Lijian Province had a great sense of security in the world's oceans.
Lijian Province was a country where human rights were paramount. If pirates dared to rob or kidnap ships from Lijian Province, Lijian Province's forces around the world would quickly locate the pirates.
Then, Lijian Province would first actively rescue the relevant hostages. Lijian Province would also try their best to satisfy the pirates' requests.
However, once Lijian Province rescued the hostages, the pirates would lose the means to threaten Lijian Province. Then, Lijian Province's ferocious side would immediately be revealed.
Because Lijian Province's style of doing things was very domineering, in the world's oceans, pirate groups did not dare to provoke ships from Lijian Province.
Rudell Peter's expression was also very pleasant. "Tom, I don't think we're hallucinating!"
"What?"
Helmsman Tom expressed his shock. "Where did this Clearsky Pirates come from? How could they be so daring?"
Clearsky Pirates was just a temporary name that Shi Lei came up with. Of course, Rudell did not know where the Clearsky Pirates came from.
"Cadderly, damn you, Cadderly. Our shipboard defense system still hasn't found any traces of the enemy?" Rudell asked the radar man, Cadderly.
Cadderly replied gloomily, "Captain, the radar feedback shows that there are no suspicious targets around us."
"Damn it!
Cadderly, are you sure the radar is broken?
What about our missile system?
Is still operational? "Rudell asked Cadderly..
The Clear Sky Pirates' radio message mentioned air power, which meant that the Clear Sky Pirates were in the air.
In addition, the other party used radio to transmit information. In such a harsh weather environment, the Clear Skies Pirates were definitely not far from Seahawk 3.
However, Rudel didn't understand how the so-called air power of the bandit gang could fly in such terrible weather.
"Captain, I've confirmed that the radar is not damaged.
Our missile systems can also function normally.
As long as the enemy dares to appear, I will be able to shoot them down! "Cadderly boasted.
However, Cadderly's answer deepened the doubts in Rudell's heart.
Could it be that this Clearsky Pirates are just lying to us?
Perhaps they have a high-powered radio station and hacked into our radio communication channel to scare us? 'Rudell had a thought in his mind.
After this thought came to mind, Rudell increasingly felt that the Clearsky Pirates were just trying to scare them.
After all, pirates who dared to attack ships in Lijian Province basically did not exist.
After Rudell thought that the Clearsky Pirates were just paper tigers, he quickly notified the entire ship and explained his own deduction.
As the radar man, Cadderly stood up to affirm Rudell's words. "Brothers, the captain's deduction is correct. That Clearsky Pirates most likely do not exist.
I controlled the entire ship's radar and focused on scanning the surrounding 20 nautical miles with our ship as the center. We did not find any suspicious targets in this area. "
Cadderly continued to provide more evidence for Rudell. "That Clearsky Pirates hacked into our radio and said that if we don't surrender, they will destroy us.
They also said that their air power is already targeting us.
However, there are still no suspicious targets in the surrounding 20 nautical miles! "
When the crew of Sea Hawk 3 heard Cadderly's explanation, the anxiety in their hearts lessened.
After all, in such bad weather, no suspicious targets were found within 20 nautical miles. This meant that the surrounding environment was safe.
Xia Xia, Shuangqing City, Jingya Court.
After Shi Lei instructed Izur to use the radio to shout, he waited for a reply from Seahawk No.3, a small frigate from Lijian Province.
However, after waiting for a long time, Seahawk No.3 still did not reply.
"Izur, is there still no response from the other party's radio?" Shi Lei asked Izur.
Izur controlled the projector on the front and transmitted the real-time image of the second-generation Iron Ship to Shi Lei. "Sir, Iron Ship has just detected the target and carried out intensive radar scanning.
Iron Ship is flying at an extremely low altitude and close to the sea. The other party's radar did not detect Iron Ship. According to the system's logical inference, the target probably thinks that we do not exist or that it is impossible for us to have air power in such bad weather. "
A cold smile flashed across Shi Lei's face. 'Have we been underestimated?'
"Izur, use the radio again to shout at the target!"
Shi Lei's hands quickly typed out the threats that needed to be shouted on the keyboard and let Izur execute them.
Izur followed the words that Shi Lei typed and simulated a gloomy middle-aged man's voice in Seahawk No.3's radio channel. He shouted, "The small frigate in front, we are the Clear Sky Pirates.
We now give you two choices. First, stop the ship immediately and hand over all the valuables on the ship.
If you cooperate with us, we will only rob your belongings and will definitely not hurt any of you.
We, the Clear Sky Pirates, are a pirate group with integrity and integrity. Our promises are absolutely true and effective. "
"Second, you can stubbornly resist, but we, the Clear Sky Pirates, will no longer guarantee your personal safety!
We will give you one minute to consider. After one minute, if you do not make a choice, we will automatically default to you and lean towards the second choice! "
Seahawk No.3 was a small frigate class patrol ship. Since the radio system was controlled by Izur, Izur could broadcast to the entire ship. Izur's shout was once again transmitted to the ears of all the crew members.
Although the radar soldier Cadderly had already assured all the crew members that there were no flying objects in the surrounding 20 nautical miles, as soldiers of Lijian Province, they had a wide range of knowledge. They knew that some high-tech aircraft could completely block the radar's scanning.
Moreover, the soldiers of Lijian Province did not have the fearless spirit of Xia Xia's soldiers.
There was a rumor about how the army of Lijian Province educated the soldiers when they were captured.
When the soldiers of Lijian Province were captured, the army of Lijian Province instilled in them the concept of self-protection as the first priority.
In other words, no matter what the enemy needed, as long as they could provide it, they would provide it.
If the enemy needed information, they would provide it. If the enemy needed supplies, they would provide them.
As long as they could save their lives, the soldiers of Lijian Province prioritized saving their lives. They did not have the slightest self-sacrificing spirit.
The crew of Seahawk No.3 had such a mentality. They did not want to die in such terrible weather because after they died, their bodies might not even be found, let alone leave a will for their families. That was simply wishful thinking.
Helmsman Tom asked Captain Rudell in a low voice, "Captain, is the Clear Sky Pirates near us?
If they are near us, please allow me to leave a final message for my family.
Their son died honorably in battle, not in the storm! "
Rudell's expression changed. "Tom!"
He turned to look at helmsman Tom and said in a surprisingly serious tone, "Tom, according to Cadderly's radar scan, there are absolutely no aircrafts within twenty nautical miles of us. This is not a lie that Cadderly and I are colluding with each other.
Maybe they have some high-tech equipment that can avoid the radar's scanning, but the other party is just a pirate group. Do you think they can have such advanced equipment? "
Helmsman Tom's expression was uncertain. No one knew what he was thinking. After waiting for a while, Helmsman Tom carefully said, "Captain, why don't we surrender temporarily?
The headquarters is near us. Even if this Clear Sky Pirates kidnap us, the headquarters will immediately search for us as soon as the storm stops. "
Rudell shook his head helplessly. "Tom, we can't surrender. We are not ordinary merchant ships, we are battleships!
If we don't fight at all and just surrender, the headquarters will rescue us. But have you thought about the consequences we will have to bear?
Military court?
Or the life of imprisonment in Havenworth? "
A minute passed quickly. At the last moment, Captain Rudell Peter picked up the radio communicator and responded to Shi Lei.
"Clear Sky Pirates, this is Lijian Province's 7th Fleet's 3rd Division patrol ship, Seahawk No.3. Warning, you have entered our warning zone. We order you to immediately withdraw from our warning zone. Otherwise, we will destroy you!"
Captain Rudell was still making a final attempt. He wanted to use the name of the Lijian Province's army to make the Clear Sky Pirates retreat voluntarily.
If they were really pirates, they would probably retreat immediately upon hearing the name of the Lijian Province's army.
However, the Clear Sky Pirates were not real pirates!
Shi Lei heard Rudell's reply and only revealed a cold smile. "Kill it!"
