This ultra-luxury yacht named "Mermaid" is speeding through the dark sea at this time.
At this time, the cabin seemed very quiet, and on the deck outside the yacht, several bodyguards wearing tactical pants and T-shirts, as well as tactical vests and holding R5 RGP carbines were patrolling.
Eight days ago, the luxury yacht "Mermaid" set off from the Fiji Islands and has been heading northwest.
These bodyguards were actually sent by a Philippine security company, and there were a total of fifteen people in the group.
According to the employer's employment contract, the entire trip lasted about a month, including a day's stop in the Solomon Islands and one day in Nauru. Judging from the remuneration, the remuneration this time was quite generous.
These bodyguards flew from the Philippines to the Fiji Islands, where they took over security tasks.
Of course, they met their employer there. Looking at Ali, the employer seemed to be a rich man from the Middle East, or a member of the royal family.
Because the other person was wearing an Arab robe, a square headscarf, big sunglasses, and a thick beard.
The rich man brought eight servants with him. When they boarded the ship, almost all of them were dragging an expensive LV suitcase, which was the rich man's luggage.
This double-decker yacht looks like an expedition yacht from the outside. It is the first design of Italian Rossinavi and new partner Gian Paolo Nari. It has a length of 55 meters and has a swimming pool and indoor auxiliary cabin, even in the polar regions.
The climate conditions also allow for comfortable sailing and several months of leisurely holidays at sea.
Currently, the ship is on autopilot.
The captain and helmsman have been awakened. The rich man suddenly had a whim or other reasons and asked the captain to increase the speed. Currently, the captain and his deputy are conducting various routine inspections on the ship's machinery to ensure that it can operate at high speed during the next voyage.
You won't encounter any unexpected troubles.
Except for the rich man and his eight servants on the entire yacht, three of the servants are maids. Their job is to clean the rich man's room. But strangely, the style of the rich man is somewhat different from those in the Middle East.
Because in addition to helping him clean and do chores, these three maids would occasionally wear revealing bikinis and bask in the sun on the deck, showing off their beautiful figures and faces, or stand on the deck when entering the port.
People were swaggering on the bow deck.
This led the bodyguards to believe that this was just a wealthy man from the Middle East who did not adhere to religious teachings. Perhaps he ran away to wander on the sea because he did not like the relatively restrictive life in that area.
The security guards of the security company are actually a professional security team. Most of them come from the Philippine special forces and police forces. After retiring or because they did not make much money as police officers, they switched careers to join the security company.
Therefore, they have full experience in protecting dignitaries and wealthy people, and they have great confidence in their military skills.
The bodyguard standing at the stern of the ship first noticed white spray spots on the dark sea. It looked like a fleet of ships traveling at high speed.
Normally at this time, no ship would sail at such a fast speed at night.
Judging from the heading, the other party seems to be heading towards you, which can be judged from experience.
"There's someone behind the boat, maybe a pirate!"
The bodyguard's men issued a warning.
Another bodyguard on the second floor deck immediately ran to the stern of the ship and turned on a searchlight. This 1000 watt short-arc xenon searchlight can reach 00 lumens and can easily illuminate a distance of 800-1100 meters.
The light shines on the dark sea towards the stern of the ship. Under the white light, several military-grade ships are chasing after them at high speed, and they are likely to catch up in a short time.
bang
Less than ten seconds after the searchlight was turned on, a bullet suddenly hit the lampshade.
After exploding a ball of sparks, the lamp was completely destroyed.
The sound of gunfire caused the bodyguards on the deck to immediately panic, and everyone entered a fighting state.
The guard captain in charge of security took out his night vision binoculars and looked behind him, and his heart began to jump.
Because he could see that those were not pirates. Pirates did not have such good equipment. They were obviously regular naval high-speed patrol boats. Even in the Philippines, as a special force, he had never seen such advanced ones.
ships.
So, he quickly turned into the cab and told the captain everything he saw.
"Captain, we are being followed and will be overtaken soon. Hurry up and make all preparations to prevent others from boarding the ship, or you can increase your speed to the fastest now and send someone to wake up the boss and tell him what's going on here.
Condition."
He didn't have time to wait for the captain's answer, turned around and ran out of the cab.
The captain froze on the spot, stood there for a moment, and immediately sounded the alarm for the entire ship.
Then walk to the driver's station, push the throttle to the maximum, and increase the speed to the maximum.
After doing all this, he turned into the cabin and walked towards his employer's dormitory.
"What's going on? Mr. Captain?" The employer didn't look too panicked.
"Mr. Saladin, there is an unidentified fleet chasing us," the captain said.
"Oh! Is it a militarized ship?" the Middle Eastern tycoon known as "Saladin" asked without changing his expression.
The captain was stunned again, and then asked: "Yes... Sir, how did you know?"
Saladin said: "I understand, dear captain, please don't worry. The exclusive waters of the Solomon Islands are ahead. Just hold on and speed up. We can enter there soon. They don't dare to attack us there."
"But……"
"There's nothing to worry about. Don't worry. How long will it take for them to catch up with us?" Saladin asked.
The captain said: "If we go at the same speed just now, it will take five minutes. But I have increased the speed of the boat, and now I estimate that it can last for fifteen minutes. They are military ships, not civilian ships, and they are very fast."
"Okay, try your best to do it. It's okay. They are not coming for you, but for me." Saladin said: "Help me delay as much as possible. I have some things to do."
After that, he turned back to the room and closed the door.
The captain stood outside the dormitory for a while, thinking that there was nothing he could do. The employer was the employer, so he could only do as he said. Saladin was right, it seemed that those were not pirates, but soldiers.
Perhaps Mr. Saladin is not as simple as he seems.
The ship would be overtaken anyway, so there was no big difference between driving faster or slower, but driving faster would at least earn the approval of Saladin's employer.
The captain didn't know who he was helping. He just felt that his professional ethics was very noble and he must safeguard his professional ethics and bottom line.
He walked to the cab and decided to do his best to contribute his last strength to Saladin, his generous employer.
On the S-70 Black Hawk helicopter, Qin Fei put down the night vision binoculars in his hand.
He saw that the "Armidale" class patrol ship and those high-horsepower hard-shell rubber boats had gradually caught up with the "Mermaid" luxury yacht, and several ships were pulling out white water on the dark night sea.
When the sea water is stirred, the phosphorescence emitted by the plankton is like a long tail trailing behind the propeller, which is very spectacular.
This situation is like an injured antelope being rounded up by a group of hyenas on the African savannah. The antelope has no choice but to escape.
"The yacht is speeding up and trying to escape." Qin Fei glanced ahead, "Maybe he wants to enter the exclusive waters of the Solomon Islands before being caught up."
"It's useless, this place is at least thirty nautical miles away from the maritime boundary of the Solomon Islands, and they can't escape." Major Michel also put down the telescope in his hand and said confidently: "This time, Kawasaki Ryuichi can't escape!
