Chapter 87 Who is the hunter? You are no longer a great power!
At the dinner table, Liu Huaming and others were in a good mood. But the people of the Iron Monkey tribe far away on Xizhun Reef were suffering.
They never dreamed of it.
It was fine when they arrived, but now even the warship was sunk.
They watched with their own eyes as missiles hit the warships one after another, and with their own eyes there were bursts of explosions on the warships. They even saw many people being blown away by the shock wave and falling into the cold and biting sea water through the bright light produced by the missile explosions.
Being hit by the shock wave and falling into the sea water, the possibility of survival is almost zero!
If they weren't too far apart, they could all hear the screams.
The distant firelight imprinted on their faces, illuminating their deepest fears.
Grief, pain, and sorrow were all suppressed by fear. They watched the warship sinking, but they were unable to do anything, and their bodies were trembling involuntarily.
They will never forget this tragic scene.
Seeing that more than half of the warship sank, suddenly, the warship erupted with a more violent explosion.
At this moment, they knew that even if there were still people alive on the warship, the explosion caused by the flames from inside the warship would completely destroy their last hope.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"ah--"
Everyone recovered from the shock, shouted in panic, and ran away randomly, like rats on the run.
thump--
Someone bumped into someone else.
ah--
Someone was knocked to the ground hard.
The scene was a mess.
In the ship's main control room, Captain Du Yong watched the fire on the warship in the distance gradually being submerged by the sea water, and quietly swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva.
The sudden situation on the sea gave him an unprecedented shock.
He had been working with warships for several years, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation. Those who are doing the work are doing well, the warship is gone first!
The whole person was stunned, his mind went blank, and a bone-chilling chill rushed from the soles of his feet to his forehead.
Fear momentarily suppressed anger.
If it weren't for the sudden shouting outside, he wouldn't have recovered at this moment.
The first mate stumbled in and shouted hastily: "Captain, the scene is a mess!"
"Hurry up and take people to the scene to command, hurry up! Call everyone immediately... I will give them two minutes! After two minutes, no matter how many people are not on the ship, I will leave immediately!"
Du Yong's voice was trembling when he spoke, which showed that he was extremely timid inside.
"Yes, Captain!"
The first mate left in a hurry, and Du Yong took another deep look at the fire in the distance, feeling desolate in his heart.
The warships had sunk, and he was not sure if he would be in danger for his life.
With this in mind, he said quickly.
"Quick, contact the headquarters, I want to report the emergency!"
Seeing that the correspondent was still confused, he went up and slapped him in the face, shouting.
"Are you deaf? I want you to contact the headquarters!"
"Yes, yes, captain." The correspondent quickly became busy: "Headquarters, this is Jingyu No. 1. This is Jingyu No. 1. Please answer when you receive it."
Soon, news came from the headquarters.
"Jingyu No. 1, what's going on?"
The correspondent glanced at Du Yong, and Du Yong said quickly.
"Reported: The Meihe has been attacked and has sunk. It is not yet known whether there are any survivors! The enemy's firepower is too strong. For safety reasons, our ship and the Jingyu No. 2 are about to retreat!"
"Hurry, send it!" Du Yong urged.
Just as the correspondent was busy contacting the headquarters, the first mate hurried over again and shouted anxiously.
"Captain, something happened!"
"What's wrong!" Du Yong was so anxious that he almost cursed.
It’s so urgent, why are things happening everywhere?
"Captain, news came from Jingyu No. 2. The other party contacted them and asked all our troops to stay in place and not move, and to accept their inspection."
"What!"
Hearing the news, Du Yong's calves trembled.
If you stay where you are and undergo examination, how the hell can you return to the Iron Monkey Tribe in the future?
Even if he could return, it would be one thing to lose his face, but he might even lose the job he relied on to survive!
"You really said that?" Du Yong asked again in disbelief.
The first mate nodded solemnly.
On the side, the correspondent also said.
"Captain, we just received a radio message from the other party, requiring our ship to stop operations immediately and undergo inspection! Otherwise, we will act in accordance with the rules!"
With the correspondent's evidence, Du Yong's heart trembled suddenly.
I'm done. I'm afraid I won't be able to run away now.
The first mate urged: "Captain, what should we do? Jingyu No. 2 is still waiting for our attitude."
"Shut up!"
Du Yong was equally anxious and quickly changed the subject.
"What did the headquarters say? Is there any news?"
It stands to reason that when the radio message is transmitted back, there should be a response immediately from the headquarters.
But it had been a while, and there was no movement at all, which made him wonder if he had become an outcast.
What Du Yong didn't expect was that the Iron Monkey Tribe's naval headquarters was also in chaos at this moment.
After receiving the news from Jingyu No. 1, the liaison officer was so frightened that his face changed, and he quickly reported the matter.
Iron Monkey Tribe, Navy Headquarters Conference Room.
Three middle-aged men were sitting there. Although it was already past one o'clock in the morning on the 24th, they were not sleepy at all.
"This time the Mekong went to work with two boats, and it's almost over."
"That's right, it's almost time! But it's too time-consuming for us to push forward little by little every time. I don't know how long it will take to get it completely done! In addition, I heard that they have purchased two 956Es in case of an encounter. I’m afraid there will be a lot of trouble.”
"Take your time, work slowly and carefully! Haven't we all been like this before?"
The leader of the Navy, Nancy Ding, listened to the two people's words, and his expression fluctuated slightly.
"It doesn't matter. According to our inference, their two 956Es have a more important purpose! They will not be used specifically to defend us."
"That's true." After hearing this, the two of them nodded.
Given the current tense sea situation, there is really no need for two 956Es to deal with the Iron Monkey Tribe.
They also know this in their hearts.
"But then again." Nancy Ding said again: "We have three modern warships here. Even if they bring two 956Es over, we are not afraid!"
"That's what I mean!" Chen Fuyong, who had scars at the corners of his eyes, nodded and echoed: "Except for those two 956Es, they can't even get on the stage!"
Another flat-nosed Zhu Wen'an added: "The 052 guided drive that was praised so much in the past two years is nothing more than that! Last time, we didn't even look at our shadow. How can the gap in warship iteration be made up so easily? "
"They are still too conceited and want to spend money, time, and energy to build their own modern warships! What happened? In the end, they just bought the 956E! They said that after all their troubles, Why bother!"
“You have too much money and nowhere to spend it!”
"No! The West doesn't sell it! This is the key!"
After speaking, Chen Fuyong and Zhu Wen'an looked at each other and laughed.
Even Nancy Ding on the side had a smile on her face.
He couldn't help but sigh: It is more convenient to spend money to buy Western warships. How can the other party spend so much money and insist on developing modern warships on their own, but in the end they still go their own way?
Aren’t you tired from all the tossing and going?
If you don’t have the diamond, do you have to take the porcelain job?
Nancy Ding shook his head slightly, feeling that it was very wise for him to spend money to purchase warships earlier.
Buy early and enjoy early!
As long as you are willing to spend money, there is no need to worry about the combat level of the warships. After all, it is a modern warship. How could it be any worse? No matter what, it is much better than non-modern warships!
Because of this, not only the Iron Monkey tribe, but also several other nearby tribes, and even the non-soldier tribes across the sea, also spent money to buy warships from the west.
Although the warships they bought were not advanced enough in the West and were considered products that were on the verge of being eliminated, they were completely sufficient to cope with the current situation.
At least in their perception, except for the two newly acquired 956Es, the opposing navy lags behind them.
Just in the middle of a few people laughing and chatting.
Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
Before anyone arrived, an anxious voice came over.
"Report—emergency military information!"
"Report——"
As soon as the door opened, the correspondent stumbled in.
"Report, urgent military situation ahead!"
Military emergency?
Seeing the correspondent's panic, the three of them looked at each other.
After all, the Meihe is a modern warship. Even if it encounters a few non-modern warships, it can easily leave.
Could it be that I encountered 956E?
It shouldn’t be!
We have analyzed the situation a long time ago. It is impossible for them to put 956E in this sea area.
Chen Fuyong quickly asked: "Tell me, what's going on!"
Zhu Wen'an quickly comforted him: "Don't get too excited. What big thing could happen? Our actions are probably discovered! This is not the first or second time. Don't panic!"
After a pause, he continued.
"Even if you are unlucky and encounter 956E, everyone is a modern guide. You can only know who is strong and weak by comparing! Anyway, I have confidence in our Mekhe!"
After Zhu Wen'an's explanation, Chen Fuyong thought about it carefully and felt that it was just one thing at most, and his expression softened a lot.
"I also have confidence in the Mekong!" He changed the topic and said with a cold face: "What is the fuss about? How is it appropriate?"
"Report...report..." The correspondent looked nervous and even stammered a bit when he spoke.
"What kind of report are you reporting? Why don't you finish it all in one breath!" the grumpy Chen Fuyong shouted immediately.
"Report, there is an urgent military situation from Jingyu No. 1. The Meihe encountered enemies at sea and was sunk by a missile! Du Yong, the captain of Jingyu No. 1, requested instructions to retreat immediately! Please give instructions!"
What!
As soon as the correspondent finished speaking, the expressions of the three people present suddenly changed.
Chen Fuyong, who had just said that it was inappropriate to make such a fuss, stood up and shouted: "Say it again!"
"Report, Jingyu No. 1...please give instructions!"
Just hearing a 'pop', Chen Fuyong fell down on the chair.
how so?
Why did the Mekong suddenly crash and die? Why haven't I received any news before? What does Wu Baoshan do for food? Such an important matter was not reported in advance!
Zhu Wen'an quickly asked: "Have you confirmed with Jingyu No. 2?"
"The report has been confirmed, the Mekong has sunk!"
The three people's hearts tightened suddenly.
Even Nancy Din had a look of shock on her face.
They had thought about countless outcomes before, but the possibility of the Mekong sinking was completely ruled out by them.
"It doesn't make sense! Even if the Mekong really encounters 956E, the outcome is still a matter of chance! It sank so suddenly!"
Chen Fuyong couldn't believe it and said a little absentmindedly.
"Where is Wu Baoshan?" Zhu Wen'an asked quickly.
"Report, it is not yet certain whether there are any survivors on board the Mekong! According to the confirmed information from Jingyu 2, it can be basically confirmed that a total of multiple missiles hit the Mekong! And caused multiple explosions on the Mekong. ! Captain Wu is only afraid...only afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm just afraid that there will be more misfortune than good."
Zhu Wen'an's face suddenly solidified.
More than a dozen missiles hit the Mekong, which was something he couldn't even imagine.
What is the technical difference between the two, so that the Mekong has no room for resistance and is directly bombarded by more than a dozen missiles?
"General..." Zhu Wen'an looked at Nan Nan Ding. Before he could say the word 'military', he heard Nan Nan Ding say with a gloomy face.
"Let the matter of the Meihe be put aside for now, and let Jingyu No. 1 and Jingyu No. 2 retreat immediately!"
"Yes!" The correspondent ran out quickly.
"General, we can't let things go with the Mekong!" Chen Fuyong said urgently: "I request that two other warships be dispatched immediately to the Xizhun Reef."
"I also agree! This revenge must be avenged!" Zhu Wen'an said murderously.
Nancy Ding raised her eyelids, glanced at the two of them, and said in a deep voice.
"The Mekong sank suddenly. There was no news at all before. This thing is too weird! This is definitely not something a 956E can do!"
"If we take action suddenly, we may fall into the opponent's trap!"
Zhu Wen'an and Chen Fuyong thought about it and felt it made sense.
If there is only one 956E, even if the Mekong is defeated, it will definitely retreat and a message for help will be sent.
The incident must have happened suddenly, and when Wu Baoshan found that he couldn't resist and wanted to call for help again, it was already too late. No matter how fast a person moves, he can't move faster than a missile.
The three of them made a brief inference and deduced the general situation at that time.
As a result, there must be other warships taking action at the same time.
"There's one thing I can't figure out." Zhu Wen'an said with a confused look.
Nancy Ding asked: "What's the matter?"
"Only 956E leading these other warships to besiege can achieve this effect! But Wu Baoshan is not stupid. Faced with such an encirclement situation, he will definitely not choose to fight."
Chen Fuyong asked: "Is there a possibility that Wu Baoshan is too conceited? After all, our Mekong has always been very strong!"
"Impossible!" Zhu Wen'an shook his head seriously: "Wu Baoshan is familiar with the art of war and will definitely not make such a mistake! There must be some circumstances beyond our expectations!"
unexpected?
Chen Fuyong frowned and thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
He felt that at most two 956Es would appear!
But the other party put both 956Es in this sea area, which is obviously unrealistic!
He is somewhat self-aware of his own strength.
Among jackals, tigers and leopards, they are just jackals until they die, and they are the last among jackals. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to put all the two 956Es in this sea area and bet on himself!
The three of them couldn't figure out what the so-called unexpected situation was despite racking their brains.
For a moment, the scene fell into dead silence.
Chen Fuyong said anxiously: "Then what should I do now? We can't do nothing at all, we must show our attitude at least!"
Zhu Wen'an also looked at Nan Nan Ding, who would ultimately have to make the decision on this matter.
Nancy Ding's face was as dark as water.
Angry, he is naturally angry. But this time the incident happened suddenly and he acted rashly, and he was worried that he might really fall into a trap.
At present, the Iron Monkey Tribe only has two modern warships left. Once one more is lost, more than half of their navy will be useless.
A modern warship has never had an accident before. Today, when an accident occurred, the ship was destroyed and people were killed. It was difficult to figure out the specific situation, and it was difficult for Nancy Ding to make a decision.
The other party's strength also made him somewhat confused.
He thought to himself: He has to think of a perfect solution.
"What do you mean there is no movement at all! Letting Jingyu No. 1 and No. 2 withdraw first is the biggest move! Don't forget, these two ships have no ability to resist warships!"
Nancy Din said.
"Besides, it will take several hours to send a warship over from here! It is important to evacuate people, and we will discuss other matters when things are clear!"
As soon as these words came out, the other two people fell silent.
They knew that Nancy Ding was telling the truth.
call--
Taking a deep breath, Nancy Ding forced herself to calm down.
But at this moment, there was another rush of footsteps outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, another correspondent stumbled in.
"Report, there is an emergency from Jingyu No. 2. They are being targeted. The other party requires them to stop operations immediately and undergo inspection, otherwise they will open fire! Please give instructions!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Wen'an and Chen Fuyong suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock: "What did you say!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue to them.
Nancy Ding, who had finally calmed down a lot, now had twitching muscles on her face.
"how so?"
Chen Fuyong's face was even uglier than that of a child who had been eaten to death.
For a moment, he couldn't tell who was the prey and who was the hunter!
Zhu Wen'an said blankly: "What are we going to do this time?"
Chen Fuyong was also at a loss.
He couldn't figure out how this could be the case.
I lost my wife and lost my troops.
Everyone present looked at Nancy Ding.
But Nannan Ding sighed and muttered: "Hostages! They destroyed our warship, and they still want to take hostages!"
After so many years of fighting, it was the first time they lost so miserably. The warship was lost and hostages were taken.
Suddenly, a sharp look flashed in Chen Fuyong's eyes.
"otherwise……"
Zhu Wen'an glanced at Chen Fuyong and immediately understood his intention.
Once the hostage falls into the hands of the other party, their own hands will be tied up and they will do anything.
But if those people are allowed to resist, or continue to come back regardless, bet on whether the other party will open fire. If they really open fire, that's playing into their hands.
Nancy Ding obviously understood what the other party meant.
Making this decision does require great courage.
But in order for the situation to be in their favor and for them to take the initiative in the future, he nodded heavily.
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
With that said, Chen Fuyong strode out.
…
On the Jingyu No. 1, Du Yong, who was feeling anxious and uneasy, suddenly heard the correspondent shouting.
"Captain, the headquarters will destroy us all!"
"What?"
Du Yong was stunned.
Is your life not life?
Immediately afterwards, the correspondent said again: "Report, the other party sent another radio message, asking us to surrender immediately, otherwise we will be regarded as bandits and be directly eliminated!"
"Besides, they also said..."
"What did you say?" Du Yong asked eagerly.
"They said that the missiles have locked onto us! As long as we make the slightest movement, they will fire! Moreover, the Mekong was sunk because of not listening to dissuasion. He reminded us not to say that we were unpredicted!"
After listening, Du Yong cursed directly.
"What the hell -"
At this moment, the captain of Jingyu No. 2 also rushed over.
"Du Yong, what should I do?"
Du Yong looked around and found that everyone was staring at him.
Du Yong was silent.
An hour later, everyone on the Xizhun Reef saw three shimmering lights emerging from the dark sea in the distance.
They knew that the other side's warship was coming.
The visual distance can reach more than 20 kilometers at sea.
In other words, it doesn't take even half an hour for three warships to arrive.
More than 20 minutes later, when the warship was berthed, Wu Ruoming set foot on Xizhun Reef with naval officers and soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Du Yong led his men and shouted: "Sir, we agreed on the radio before that we will not kill anyone who surrenders!"
"We surrender! We surrender-"
Brother, Chapter 84 is released
