Chapter 113 Encounter! 052B meets the Murasame-level guide!
As soon as Xu Dongguo’s order was issued, the landline on the desk rang.
When I picked it up, it was Xiao Chongjun, the leader of the Eastern Fleet.
"Old Xu, I already know the situation. Do you need our Eastern Fleet to assist you?"
When he came up, Xiao Chongjun was unambiguous and asked directly if he wanted to help.
They all knew in their hearts that the situation of the Eastern Wilderness tribe at sea was definitely not something that a single fleet could handle.
After pondering for a while, Xu Dongguo Road.
"No need for the moment! Our purpose this time is to bring that cargo ship back. Now is not the time to fight against the opponent!"
"We still need time to continue to accumulate strength!"
"Okay! I understand!" Xiao Chongjun said: "Our department will be ready at any time to deal with the worst situation!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Dongguo stood there with a serious expression.
The only thing the Eastern Fleet can handle is a 956E. The 052 and 053H3 can play too little role in the confrontation with the Eastern Wilderness Tribe.
The last military training situation is still fresh in Xu Dongguo’s memory.
One 052B can overwhelm the three main battleships of the Eastern Fleet. If even the 052B and 051C cannot stabilize the situation, one more Eastern Fleet will not have much impact.
He has personal experience of the power of modern warships. In this situation, non-modern warships would not even have a chance to appear.
At this moment, on the northern sea.
The cargo ship Shanhua made a big turn in the sea and planned to return.
In the main control room, Captain Shinshu Nohara is standing there, directing the cargo ship to return.
The first mate on the side whispered.
“Captain, are we really going back like this?”
"Otherwise?" Nohara Shinshu looked back and said angrily.
"It's okay to go back. It's just that we finally opened the trade channel with the opposite side. As a result, this road may not be possible in the future."
The first mate said helplessly.
The shipping company he worked for finally opened up the sea channel with the opposite side, but he didn't know that he had not shipped goods several times before encountering this kind of thing again.
How can there be any reason for goods to be turned back halfway? And he also entered the opponent's sea area!
Once the news spreads, not to mention that this sea route will not be feasible in the future, the company's international reputation will be affected.
It was not a very big company in the first place. After this incident, it will be even more difficult to grow in the future.
Nohara Shinshu sighed and said helplessly.
“This is an order from the Navy Headquarters. How can we resist it? Although I don’t know what is in the cargo this time, I know that if I disobey this time, let alone continue to trade at sea in the future. , I can’t eat without walking around!”
“Those people in Haizi are not good people! They are all like lunatics!”
The first mate was silent.
Which is the lesser of the two powers, obviously, the cost of returning is the least.
Compared with the growth of trade channels and enterprises, whether we can make a living in the future is the key.
"Since this is an order from the Navy Headquarters, it means that we have carried prohibited goods on the cargo ship. No matter what, it is better than going back to the lawsuit."
The topic changed and Nohara Shinki once again road.
"Then again, we are the people of the Great Eastern Wasteland Empire after all. No matter what the circumstances, we must put the interests of the Great Eastern Wasteland Empire as the first priority!"
As soon as these words came out, the first officer immediately became confused. Speak.
This is all on the line, what else can he say.
The Shanhua had just turned around and was heading back when suddenly the radioman shouted.
“Captain, the coast guard on the other side sent a message through the international public channel.”
"What did they say?"
"Captain, they asked us to resume normal sailing immediately!"
Nohara Shinki looked at the vast sea through the porthole, and then said: "Don't worry! Keep sailing!" ”
“Okay, Captain!”
The other side of the same sea area.
The earliest ship '051B modified' is performing a cruise mission.
In the main control room, the new captain Jiang Shengrong looked slightly relaxed.
The Navy Day in the morning came to a perfect end. They did not encounter any blind people on the sea, which allowed him to relax for a moment after being tense all morning.
Jiang Shengrong had just finished checking the route for the next cruise when he heard the correspondent shouting.
“Report to the captain, the commander’s order came from the fleet headquarters.”
Chief's order?
Jiang Shengrong frowned slightly.
Nothing happened at such an important moment in the morning, could something happen now?
That doesn’t make sense.
“Read!”
"Report to the captain, the leader ordered us to dispatch immediately to intercept the Shanhua cargo ship on its way back! Coast Guard and 052B will assist us! The leader requested that the Shanhua cargo ship must be brought back safe and sound!"
Return halfway?
It’s nothing for a cargo ship to alert the coast guard. Even 052B was alerted. Obviously, the cargo on this Shanhua cargo ship is very important.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shengrong said: "Contact the Coast Guard immediately to retrieve the registration information of the Shanhua cargo ship!"
"Yes!"
Soon, information about the Shanhua and its specific route came over.
The cargo ship Shanhua is a medium-sized cargo ship owned by Donghuang Tribe Shipping Company. It has a full load speed of 15 knots and a sailing path...
After reading the information, Jiang Shengrong said: "Report the specific coordinates of the Shanhua! "
"Report to the captain, the Shanhua is 60 kilometers southwest of our ship, heading towards the Donghuang Tribe at a speed of 15 knots according to the original route."
The Shanhua. The location exceeds the active detection range limit of the radar on the 051C, so naturally the opponent's position cannot be seen on the radar display.
However, based on the opponent's route map sent by the coast guard department, the approximate location can be deduced with a little calculation.
Ocean-going cargo ships are not small fishing boats after all. All routes are fixed. It is easy to get into trouble if they run around and break into waters that they should not break into. If you can't explain it at that time, you will be detained!
"Shanhua's speed is 15 knots, and our speed is 31 knots. It is not difficult to intercept it in our waters."
Jiang Shengrong said hurriedly.
"Calculate the intended interception location."
"It's the captain!" After a while, the other party said: "Report, there are two feasible interception locations! Captain, please give instructions!"
Jiang Shengrong came over and took a look, frowning slightly.
The first plan is for the warship to drive directly south. As long as the Shanhua slows down halfway, it can successfully intercept it at the intersection of the two inclined routes.
This plan is far enough away from the maritime boundary line between the two sides and safe enough.
The second option is somewhat risky.
051C needs to travel in the southeast direction, and be mentally prepared for the Shanhua to return without slowing down halfway.
In this way, although 051C will intercept the opponent before it crosses the sea boundary line, this location is very close to the sea boundary line, only about ten kilometers, so it is easy for something to happen.
"Captain, which plan to adopt?" the vice-captain asked.
Take a deep breath, Jiang Shengrong said.
“Contact 052B immediately, I want to speak to Captain Zhou!”
"Yes! Captain!" On the sea more than thirty kilometers away from 051C, 052B was cruising according to the originally scheduled route.
In the main control room, the correspondent said.
"Report to the captain, the latest instructions have been sent from the chief."
After receiving the message, Zhou Qinglei glanced at it, his expression instantly solemn.
A Shanhua cargo ship alarmed the Northern Fleet's most powerful modern warships 051C and 052B.
Without thinking too much, he knew that this cargo ship was very important to the navy!
If it is an ordinary cargo ship, it is enough to dispatch the Coast Guard. If it fails, the 053H3 frigate will be dispatched! How could a modern guided missile be dispatched to intercept a cargo ship?
Normally, the Coast Guard would ask for assistance first, instead of becoming the Coast Guard to assist them like now.
Intercepting the Shanhua is only one aspect, dealing with accidents that may happen at any time is the key!
The Shanhua cargo ship may have alarmed the Eastern Barren tribe to go to sea!
In just a moment, Zhou Qinglei thought of a lot.
Having stayed with Su Dingping and others at the military base in the northern waters for a long time, he knew something about the situation.
The navy will make big moves.
Now that something happened suddenly again, he boldly speculated that the cargo on the Shanhua might have a great impact on the plans of Su Dingping and others.
"Contact the Coast Guard. I want to know the detailed path and coordinates of the Shanhua!"
"Yes, Captain!"
After a while, the information from the Coast Guard came over .
"Report to Captain, the Shanhua is 98 kilometers southwest of our ship, traveling at a speed of 15 knots..."
98 kilometers?
Just exceeded the limit of the active detection range of the 052B radar.
Zhou Qinglei was just about to give the order when he heard the correspondent say again.
"Report to Captain, 051C Captain Jiang requested a call!"
"Answer!"
Soon, the call channel between the two parties was established.
"Captain Zhou, have you received the relevant information?"
"Captain Jiang, I was about to tell you about this! We are the closest, have you made a plan?"
>Faced with Zhou Qinglei's inquiry, Jiang Shengrong said immediately.
“Two plans...”
Jiang Shengrong explained both plans.
The two discussed it and finally chose option two for the sake of safety.
After all, the distance between the final interception points of Plan 2 and Plan 1 is only about thirty kilometers.
If the captain of the cargo ship Shanhua is strong enough to rush forward with his head covered, there is a risk of crossing the sea boundary by mistake if he pursues further.
Thinking that the cargo ship Shanhua might be carrying important cargo, Zhou Qinglei didn’t want to gamble and didn’t dare to gamble.
After the plan was finalized, the two warships adjusted their routes and headed straight for their destination, intending to have a 'chance encounter' with the Shanhua.
Time flies by.
More than an hour later, in the main control room of the Shanhua, the radio operator shouted to Nohara Shinki.
"Captain, the other side's coast guard sent a message again, asking us to turn around immediately and sail according to the original route!"
"Don't worry about it!"
Nohara Shinki had a sullen face road.
During this period of time, they have received messages from the other party's coast guard many times, but they have ignored them even once.
At this time, the third officer in charge of observing the radar said: "Captain, the other coast guard ship has appeared within the monitoring range of our radar and is 30 kilometers away from our ship."
" Did they come so quickly?"
Nohara Shinshu glanced at the radar display and said immediately: "Contact the company and report the situation"
"Yes!"
After a while, the radio operator suddenly said: "Captain, Colonel Kitahara Sosuke of the Navy Headquarters wants to call!"
Colonel Kitahara Sosuke?
Nohara Shinshu was stunned for a moment, he had no impression of this person.
“Answer!”
Immediately, Kitahara Sosuke’s voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Shinju-kun, I am the captain of the Murasame, Sosuke Kitahara! We have received the news from your department. Our ship is cruising in the surrounding waters. It is expected that we will meet you at the sea boundary in two hours! Understood! ?”
“Hi!”
Murasame, the first warship among the eight Murasame-class guided missile destroyers!
The Eighth Eighth Fleet, the first reorganized fleet, has a total of two Murasame-class guided missile destroyers, one is the Murasame and the other is the Harusame.
The dispatch of the guided missile destroyer Murasame to pick up the Shanhua shows that Donghuang Tribe attaches great importance to this operation.
Nohara Shinshu immediately felt relieved when he learned that the Murasame would pick him up.
"Continue to return at full speed!"
"Yes, Captain!"
At the same time, on the sea, in the main control room of 052B, which is getting closer and closer to 051C.
“Report to the captain, we expect to arrive at the scheduled interception location in one and a half hours!”
Zhou Qinglei looked at the moving little red dot representing the Shanhua on the radar display and nodded slightly.
As long as we stop the Shanhua before it crosses the maritime boundary line between the two sides, the rest will be easy to handle.
In addition to the coordinates representing our own side, there are also coordinates representing 051C and a coast guard ship on the radar display.
Three guarantees, the Shanhua number can hardly fly!
At this moment, a new small red dot appeared in the southeast direction of the radar display.
The moment the other party appeared, the radar monitor said immediately.
"Report to Captain, a third-party warship was found 95 kilometers southeast of our ship, with a speed of 32 knots! The navigation path is temporarily unknown, please give instructions!"
As soon as these words came out, An idea suddenly appeared in Zhou Qinglei's mind.
The Donghuang Tribe’s own warship!
Then, the other party said again.
"Report Captain, a second warship was found 95 kilometers southeast of our ship, with a speed of 32 knots!"
Two warships?
This is not good news!
After taking a look at the radar monitor, Zhou Qinglei's heart sank for no reason.
The predicted sailing routes of the two warships are the same. After a little analysis of the sailing routes, it can be inferred that the other side is here to meet the Shanhua cargo ship.
The two sides are competing for the title of Shanhua, and no one can guarantee whether unexpected situations will occur.
Almost subconsciously, Zhou Qinglei clenched his hands slightly.
