As soon as she entered the door, Michelle couldn't wait to ask Lilith: "Have you confirmed that Kawasaki Ryuichi is on board?"
"No." Lilith said, "Look here."
Her finger pointed at the screen.
"Five minutes ago, the yacht began to increase speed, began to move at a speed of 22 knots per hour, and turned to the northwest."
"Did Kawasaki Ryuichi discover us? Michelle's tone became a little nervous.
"We don't know its intention, but at this speed, if we continue to track it, we will soon leave the high seas and enter the waters of Papua New Guinea," Lilith said.
Papua New Guinea is the second largest country in Oceania. Although it also belongs to the British Commonwealth, it is an independent country after all.
To launch a war operation in the exclusive sea area of ββββan independent country, and it is a joint operation between two countries working together, without notifying the country concerned, this is a risk.
If this operation needs to be legalized within Papua New Guinea's exclusive waters, then the country's military must be notified, and then the military and foreign affairs departments will decide and then rule the president, and the president will approve the so-called "discretionary power." This
Only then can military operations be carried out within the legal waters of other countries.
"No, we can't risk entering other people's exclusive waters. I'm afraid it's too late to contact Papua New Guinea now. The efficiency of that country's work is too low. I'm afraid that by the time they react, Kawasaki Takashi will have slipped away early!" Michelle bit.
Biting her lip, she seemed to be struggling internally whether to make a decisive decision.
"Mark, is there any new progress in your surveillance?"
She turned to the Global Hawk drone operator.
"Not yet... that ship..."
Before the drone operator Mark finished speaking, he suddenly froze as if someone had tapped his acupoints.
"etc!"
His right hand gently placed on the huge monitoring earphone, and he gently pressed it down to bring it closer to his ear.
Qin Fei walked over lightly and his eyes fell on the drone operation screen.
The signal spectrum began to jump violently, and the curve became particularly dazzling.
"There's signal overflow! It's a secure satellite phone!" Mark said.
"Can't you hear the content?" Michelle asked.
"It is impossible to monitor the specific content." Mark nodded and said: "This cannot be done, but there is only one confidential satellite phone in the entire yacht, most likely Kawasaki Ryuichi. Ordinary members of the Holy City Army are not qualified to use this
Phone number, at least boss level or above."
"What are the possibilities?" Michelle asked.
"Sixty percent." Mark immediately gave the answer without thinking.
"Damn it!" Michelle stamped her feet, grabbed her hair and walked around in place for a few times, then suddenly stopped: "We can't take risks, we only have this one chance. Sooner or later, the signal of the fake hard drive will be discovered. Once it is detected by Kawasaki
Ryuichi realizes that we may not get another chance!"
She turned back to Lilith and said: "Let Captain Clark and others prepare immediately. Let's set off now. Everything will proceed according to the raid plan that has been formulated!"
As the commander-in-chief of this operation, once Michel's order was issued, the entire deck and several high-speed patrol boats immediately became lively.
The SAS team members began to board the S-70 Black Hawk helicopter on the deck. These people had all put on black one-piece anti-terrorist uniforms and added an assault vest on top of the body armor.
This is definitely a posture of planning a strong attack. The double bulletproof insurance will not be injured even if it is attacked by an automatic rifle at close range. Of course, the premise is not to focus on vulnerable areas such as arms, thighs and neck that are not protected.
After doing all this, Captain Clark, who was sitting on the edge of the Black Hawk helicopter cabin, gave a thumbs up to the ground crew on the deck. The ground crew quickly ran away. The deck commander began to wave the fluorescent baton in his hand, and the Black Hawk pilot gently pushed.
Lifting the joystick and increasing the throttle, the helicopter left the deck, slowly rose to a height of ten meters, then tilted its nose and flew into the distance, quickly disappearing into the night sky.
The sides of several "Armidale"-class high-speed patrol ships were filled with SAS and SASR special forces members. They all had safety ropes buckled around their waists to prevent them from falling when they were told to move forward.
ocean.
In the cabin of the "Canberra" amphibious assault ship, they had already opened the gate, and the 27,000-ton amphibious assault ship began to fill its belly with seawater.
About 15,000 tons of seawater were merged into the well-shaped deck. When the seawater was injected to a certain extent, the hard-shell rubber boat inside the cabin floated. The crew started the engine, and the rubber boat began to slowly drive out of the aft cabin of the amphibious assault ship.
Door.
It took about ten minutes, and several rubber boats exited the sea one after another. They adjusted their positions and directions, and the SAS machine gunners were in place. The rest of them were all lying on the bottom of the boat, and the high-horsepower engine sprayed at the stern of the rubber boat.
Huge white waves arose, and the head of the boat completely left the water, heading towards the target like an arrow.
Qin Fei and Michelle were the last to leave the "Canberra" class amphibious assault ship.
Since they did not need to directly participate in the battle, the two of them did not carry heavy weapons. Of course, they still needed to carry body armor and pistols.
Sitting in the cabin of the S-70, Qin Fei watched the huge amphibious assault ship gradually turn into a small bright spot on the sea level. He was wearing tactical goggles and a night vision device mounted on a dried cuttlefish rail on his helmet.
It has not been pushed down to the eyes, so there is no need to use night vision goggles yet.
All Armidale-class high-speed patrol boats and rigid-hulled rubber boats are equipped with advanced radar systems, but they have now been forced to turn them off.
This is actually a very risky behavior.
Navigating at high speed in the dark sea, turning off the radar and relying on a primitive compass, naked eyes and night vision goggles is no different from being locked in a dark room and running wildly.
Even if the night vision device can detect the target on the water, it is too late to avoid it at a high speed of more than 25 knots per hour. What's worse, underwater obstacles, such as reefs, can cause the ship to disintegrate in minutes.
The reason for doing this is out of careful consideration.
No one knows what kind of equipment is in that big white yacht. Maybe Kawasaki Ryuichi will install a radar detection device in his big yacht so that he can detect radar signals within a certain range.
For a professional KB member like Kawasaki Ryuichi and his extremely high IQ, this kind of caution is very necessary.
Therefore, before taking action, the commanders of all ships must memorize roughly the routes that their ships will take during the pursuit, and have an understanding of the conditions in this sea area to avoid the situation of dying before leaving the ship.
tragedy.
After catching up with the fleet of high-speed patrol boats, the two S-70 Black Hawk helicopters began to slow down, lowering their speed and allowing themselves to follow closely behind the fleet to avoid reaching the sky above the yachts too early.
Three fifteen in the morning.
Captain Clark's voice suddenly came from Qin Fei's earphones.
"Major, the target has appeared within the visual range, requesting an attack."
"Everything is going as planned," Michelle replied.
