Speaking of Sotra, ever since he got the new warship, he has started to renovate it. Wang Hai emphasized twice in a row that it was stolen goods, which made this lawless pirate leader a little cautious. Therefore, he immediately ordered a major revision!
Although it needs to be modified, it is still necessary to have a precise understanding of the entire warship. Just two days later, Sotra began to break out in a cold sweat. The advanced level of this warship completely exceeded his own imagination. Although Wang Hai wanted to
The price is international, but Wang Hai has never come into contact with warships, so he doesn’t know the real difference between warships worth tens of millions and warships worth hundreds of millions. However, Sotra has some understanding. If this warship really wants to be sold to foreign countries,
, you will definitely not be able to get it for less than 100 million US dollars, and if many of these things are sold to outsiders, they will be removed and replaced with slightly inferior things, such as various computer programs, systems, etc.
It would be fine if that were the case, but in less than ten days, news came out from the United States that Guam was missing a warship. That cold sweat instantly submerged Sotra!
Change! Completely modify! Sotela almost didn’t think about it, and issued the order to die until the transformation was no longer the same. Of course, Sotela did not expect that Wang Hai would steal the battleship. It is estimated that no normal person would think of this idea.
Yes. What he was thinking of was that Wang Hai had reached an agreement with an officer in Guam, the United States, to secretly trade warships. This kind of situation was common in the former Soviet Union, and it happened all over the world from time to time.
After a redundant modification, the transformation was finally successful. Compared with the original, it is a bit bloated. The speed is only 38 knots, which is far from the original maximum speed of 42 knots. But it is not bad. At 38 knots, it can definitely beat the global speed.
Civilian cargo ships are so overwhelmed that they want to transform into submarines, like Haidong Industrial, which can reach a speed of 35 knots. With just one warship, it can sweep all the previous ships of Somali pirates. Of course, it is a head-on confrontation.
A huge flag with skulls and skulls flying high, the flag with white skulls on a black background symbolizes that Somali pirates will traverse the sea from today on, and their first goal is to traverse the Arabian Sea!
Sotra wandered around the renovated warship with his hands behind his back. Most of the original buildings were cancelled. The original radar was adjusted to its position as much as possible, and various antennas were also camouflaged. In short, let alone the arrival of the United States, it was just a legend.
The Chinese bricks and mortar can't tell the difference between its original appearance and its appearance. Although the overall function has dropped by more than 10% after the transformation, even now, it can still look down on the warships of some small countries.
As for the flag above the head, it was specially added by Sotra, which means: From today on, Somali pirates will regain their piracy glory in the eighteenth century! Let the flag of the skull fly on the vast ocean.
After the swearing-in meeting, Sotra decided to officially start the maiden voyage on October 20th. He would spend five days testing the performance of the new ship. All his confidants would take turns to get on board. Everyone needs to be familiar with the relevant operations so that they can be ready at any time when necessary.
Substitute.
This time, Sotra decided to take action personally to get off to a good start, and since the shotguns were replaced by cannons, they could not intercept those 30,000 to 20,000-ton small ships in the western Arabian Sea. This time, Sotra decided to intercept a 30-ton small ship.
The 10,000-ton supertanker simultaneously announced to the world that Somalia has stood up!
On the morning of the 26th, the new "Black Skull" set off. Of course, Sotra was not stupid enough to fly his own flag at the beginning, and even if he encountered those small boats sailing on the road, he ignored them and kept heading east.
After advancing for about five hundred nautical miles, we finally saw a huge man-made object floating on the sea, moving at a speed of about 16 knots. It was a huge 300,000-ton super tanker.
"Hang the flag!" Sotra shouted, and with a bang, a huge skull and crossbones flag flew high, and there was even a song!
Holman leisurely hummed a tune, sipped coffee, and quietly looked out the window at the undulating sea. This year, Holman is 45 years old. He started running ocean transportation 20 years ago, and until now, he has become this
The captain of a supertanker earns an annual salary of one million U.S. dollars. Now he has a small savings of tens of millions of dollars. He plans to work for another five years and apply for retirement when he is 50 years old. In addition, he has more than ten million U.S. dollars in savings, which is enough for him to live comfortably.
For the next half of my life.
The captain is the core of the soul of a ship. No advanced technology can replace the huge role of the captain. Therefore, the captain is a truly popular position. Of course, the premise is that you have sufficient experience and ability. And for these two things, Huo
There is no shortage of Holman, and he is more sophisticated than ordinary people. Therefore, Holman is now living a very prosperous life. He has an office of more than one hundred square meters on the ship, with a large number of flowers and plants planted in it.
The precious fresh water on the ship is used.
As for the boring question of the ship being hijacked, Holman has never thought about it. This is a 300,000-ton ship, not a small ship. Its size alone is enough to detour 90% of pirates, not to mention that every
A ship of more than 100,000 tons has strong defenses, and the attack power is enough to make the pirates cry for their parents, so there is almost no possibility of being hijacked. Unless the navy of some country commits an illegal crime, but really
What's more, when encountering this kind of situation, no amount of defense is useless. No matter how bad a warship is, it cannot be compared to a civilian ship.
While looking at the vast sea and imagining his future life, Holman gradually indulged in his reverie.
Suddenly, the shrill siren woke up the addicted Holman. His first reaction after waking up was to be furious. Which bastard dares to make such a joke? You can't blame Holman for thinking this way. After all, this is a super tanker.
Not those small fishing boats.
Holman immediately got up and wanted to go out and teach those bastards who don't know the heights of heaven and earth. But then the huge noise outside made Holman calm down, and the same terrible suspicion hit him.
In my mind, that is the most impossible and terrifying guess - pirates, and pirates disguised as soldiers. This is the Arabian Sea, which is less than 500 nautical miles away from India. In addition to various previous rumors,
Holman believed that it might have been that little brat who did it this time! Absolutely!
After coming out, he saw the white warship about a kilometer away, looked at the waving skull and crossbones flag on it, looked at the ferocious gun barrel and several missiles, Holman shuddered, and
A cold current originated from the soles of my feet and went straight to the top of my head in an instant. It was like being poured a basin of cold water from the top of my head in the cold winter. I still felt a little bit of despair in my heart. No need to think about it. Although I had worked hard before, as long as I had
This time, I couldn't escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty. The radar on the ship could detect the pirate ship ten miles away and hide immediately. But in reality, it was already too late.
Although the opponent's warship is small, a warship is a warship, and it is definitely not comparable to those pirate ships transformed from civilian ships. Of course, it cannot be shaken by the low-level defensive weapons on your own ship. At that time, it will only be a
A small torpedo is enough to bear on you.
After that, it was very simple. Under the threat of machine guns and cannons, all 200 people on the supertanker were transferred to the pirate ship. Each person's hands were tied, and a full 20 pirates armed with machine guns watched them to death.
As the captain, Holman was of course given special care. Not only his hands, but also his feet were tied, and his mouth was stuffed with cotton.
On the already empty tanker, 30 pirates were boarded. After starting, the two ships slowly sailed towards the Somali waters at a speed of 16 knots.
Sotra was so happy, really so happy. Intercepting the supertanker was something he had never dared to think about before. His few old warships were not as strong as today's civilian ships, and their speed was slow. Let's go.
On the wide deck of the supertanker, looking at this huge object that is 400 meters long, I feel so proud that I can't express it in words. I just want to sing loudly to release my current excitement - from now on, traveling across the ocean is no longer a dream!
Compared with Sotra, Holman is gloomy and bleak, with only endless despair in his heart. His future is gloomy, his future benefits have shrunk, his future pension has shrunk, his future happy life has shrunk, and he only has his own
Working hours will be greatly extended. It is estimated that if you want to apply for retirement at the age of 50, you can, but you will not get what you deserve. If you want to get what you originally deserved, you will probably have to work until the age of 55.
