Chapter 611 The cruise ship is surrounded and the situation is very critical
Moreover, they adopted a posture of being surrounded from three sides, obviously completely surrounding them.
Everyone watching this scene was filled with chills, their expressions also changed, and the ominous premonition became even stronger!
There were an unknown number of coast guard ships at sea, and helicopters in the air. It was clear that they would not allow the cruise ship to leave British waters and completely block it.
The thing they least wanted to see happened after all!
The movement was so loud that they were not mentally prepared at all.
"What should we do?"
Someone suddenly asked, looking very pale.
"I don't know. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of thing. I feel very bad. I always feel that they are targeting us."
"I have gone back several times during winter vacation and summer vacation, and I have never encountered this kind of thing. Haven't the British tribes always had freedom of entry and exit, claiming that human rights are the supremacy?"
"What do they mean by preventing us from leaving this time? Is the freedom to come and go considered bullshit?"
"By the way, too many people left this time, and we encountered troublesome times? So, they took action against us and restricted us from leaving?"
"According to what you said, it may not be that simple for us to return home smoothly."
"Hey, don't worry about that for now. Let's take it one step at a time. We'll see what happens."
Everyone in the small group discussed in a low voice. The countermeasures were not discussed, but they also made guesses about the sudden large-scale battle launched by the British tribe. They were smart people and came to this conclusion after analyzing it.
As for the ordinary passengers, the situation was different. They were all confused.
This is naturally the first time they have encountered this situation, so they would be lying if they said they were not afraid.
Many people even shouted that they were unlucky because they encountered such a terrible thing, which made it impossible for them to even go home properly.
The British tribe has dispatched such a huge lineup, and it is clear that they will not give up until they achieve their goals!
In the past, it would have been very difficult to encounter one or two coast guard ships, let alone using helicopters, but now they have encountered them all.
This battle was like the famous scene in the movie about catching criminals at sea, but they didn't expect to be encountered.
All the ordinary passengers panicked at this moment, and their faces became extremely pale.
"What exactly happened? Why is it just like in the movie? Is it possible that there are criminals on our ship?"
"What kind of criminals are they? I think 80% of them are smuggled into the country. But it can't be like this. If they are smuggled into the country, wouldn't they go to Britain? After all, they are developed countries. How can they leave illegally?"
"Is it possible that there are terrorists on our ship? We were discovered by the British tribe and came to intercept them? Just in this way, will we be regarded as terrorists?"
"I'm really scared. This battle is so big and scary. We won't be able to leave, right?"
Just when everyone was worried, three helicopters had already arrived and hovered over the cruise ship, obviously targeting their ship.
At this time, a large number of coast guard ships also surrounded us!
The loudspeaker on the helicopter sounded the warning again: "We are the British Tribal Coast Guard. Please stop the ship immediately for inspection! Please cooperate with our work!"
"If you don't stop the ship after three warnings, we will be forced to use force!"
In the main control room of the cruise ship, the deputy captain looked at the captain next to him with a worried face.
"Captain, the British tribal coast guard is coming fiercely, I'm afraid it's because of bad intentions!"
"They were not like this in the previous inspections."
The vice captain's words made the captain Wei Juncheng's expression become more and more serious. He nodded in agreement and looked at the approaching coast guard ships outside the porthole with serious eyes.
In the distance, it seems that the British Royal Navy warship can be vaguely seen!
After being a captain for so many years, this was the first time he encountered such a big battle.
"Hey, I hope it's just a false alarm."
"We do not have any prohibited items on board and there are no criminals on board."
After saying that, Wei Juncheng directly gave the order to stop the ship for inspection.
Obviously, his only choice now is to accept the inspection from the British Tribal Coast Guard, and then he will go through the subsequent procedures.
At the same time, he also reported the situation here to the country.
After doing all this, he led the people out and stood in front of the crowd.
After glancing at the frightened crowd, Wei Juncheng spoke to comfort them.
"Everyone, don't panic or be afraid. It's just a routine inspection. There are no prohibited items on our ship and it can withstand inspection."
After hearing these words and seeing the captain so calm, the ordinary passengers felt a little more relieved.
At this time, the coast guard ship also established direct contact with the cruise ship. Several coast guards from the British tribe climbed onto the cruise ship, each with their guns loaded and wearing body armor, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
As soon as they came up, the leading coast guard shouted loudly: "Who is the captain, Wei Juncheng?"
"Sir, I am."
The elderly captain Wei Juncheng quickly walked out with his people, smiling, "I wonder what you want, sirs?"
"Are you the captain?"
The leader of the coast guard immediately took out a piece of information, compared it with the Wei Juncheng in front of him, and then nodded to confirm his identity as captain.
"We are conducting a routine inspection and taking a few people away from your ship. Please cooperate!"
The leading coast guard explained a little, and then began to direct his men to work expressionlessly, "Captain, please inform everyone to gather on the deck! I want to check those few people, and they have nothing to do with the others."
"Here, sir, did they commit something?"
Wei Juncheng frowned and asked tentatively.
He knew very well that a large part of those who boarded the ship were Longxia tribesmen, and many of them were international students, and there were no criminals among them.
These passengers had already gone through security checks when they boarded the ship, and he still knew the basic information very well.
"That's not your concern."
"You are only responsible for notifying them to gather on the deck, and don't worry about other things!"
The leading coast guard glared at Wei Juncheng fiercely, scolded expressionlessly, and then took out the gun from his waist, preparing to force the captain Wei Juncheng to submit.
Seeing this, Wei Juncheng quickly asked the deputy captain to go to the main control room and issue an announcement through the internal broadcast of the cruise ship.
The deck of the cruise ship is large enough to accommodate thousands of people.
It didn't take long for hundreds of passengers to gather on the deck. Everyone's face was filled with confusion and a bit of fear. At this time, the three helicopters surrounded the ship even tighter and kept hovering over the ship. There were many coast guard ships around the ship, dozens of large and small, as if the cruise ship was surrounded.
It is obvious that these coast guard ships will not give up until they achieve their goals. They are very overbearing. As long as the people are not taken away, the cruise ship will not even think about leaving!
Seeing the British Coast Guard standing around, all armed with guns and ammunition, in such a large formation, all the passengers couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Sir, everyone is here."
Wei Juncheng said very politely, and at the same time he became wary.
"It's better when everyone is here! I hope you didn't hide it!"
The leader of the coast guard said with a cold face, and then he turned to face the passengers, "Those who I will call on later, it is best to stand up on your own, don't force me to be violent with you!"
After hearing this, Captain Wei Juncheng's expression became grim, and he had a very ominous premonition in his heart.
He could naturally see that the coast guard in front of him had obviously accepted the order from their superiors and came to arrest people according to the list, and they were serious about it.
I saw the leader of the coast guard taking out a list of names from his body, holding a loudspeaker, and shouted coldly: "I am starting to call the names now. Everyone who hears the name, please come forward!"
"I'm telling you, don't dream about trying to get by under my nose. I have detailed information about all of you here!"
"If you want to hide away, it's impossible!"
Among the crowd, Lu Xiangdong and others suddenly felt uncomfortable after hearing this, and their hearts went cold.
It's obvious that these coast guards are well prepared. The British tribes have begun to intercept overseas students returning to the country. They probably won't be able to go back this time!
"Lu Xiangdong, male, Royal Institute of Defense Studies, proposed to be an associate professor, is listed!"
After hearing this information from the captain, the ordinary passengers looked at each other and suddenly realized.
I originally thought that these coast guards were setting up such a large-scale battle to catch criminals, but I didn't expect that they were actually here to prevent international students from returning to the country, and they were actually from the Royal College of Defense Studies.
That's a serious top student, a top talent!
However, they couldn't figure out why the other party would come to arrest a student?
Wei Juncheng, the captain standing in front, frowned tightly. He couldn't understand that the British tribe was so mobilized, but they were just here to capture unarmed students!
When everyone was confused about the situation, a handsome young man slowly walked out of the crowd.
He was polite and polite, and clearly looked like he was well-educated.
If they say that such people are criminals, they will not believe them even if they are beaten to death. They will only think that they are high-end talents.
"Lu Xiangdong?"
The leading coast guard looked at the information in his hand and then at the young man.
"It's me."
Lu Xiangdong replied calmly.
The other party has already arrested people according to the list, so he naturally knows that there is no way to escape, and he also guesses that this is the British Empire clearly obstructing his return to the country.
"If you don't want to suffer, just stand still! Come with us in a moment!"
The leading coast guard glanced at him, and two coast guards immediately stood on both sides of Lu Xiangdong and surrounded him.
"Sir, I want to know, why don't you let me return to China? I didn't break the law!" Lu Xiangdong took a deep breath and asked loudly.
"There are some matters that require your cooperation in the investigation!" the leading coast guard said solemnly.
I can give you any reason, but in a word, I won’t let you go back!
"I..."
Before Lu Xiangdong finished speaking, the coast guard on both sides took out their guns and prepared to use force.
"Okay, next one, Ma Jiancheng, male, associate professor at Oxford University, is out!"
Not long after, people saw another young man coming out, and it was the same procedure and the same reason, and he was suppressed.
Everyone suddenly realized that these two students had committed crimes, and they couldn't help but secretly lamented that it was a pity.
That's a serious top student, a top talent.
They obviously don't know that this is because the British Empire has no shame and just slaps a random crime on these top talents who are determined to return to the country. It is to deliberately stigmatize these international students so as to use this as an excuse to detain them!
"Zhang Ting, female, Imperial University of Cambridge, PhD in Materials Science."
"Chen Xingxing, male, Imperial University of Oxford, PhD in biology."
"Tong Liyuan, male,..."
As names were shouted out, young talents emerged from the crowd one after another.
There were more than a dozen men and women in total, and the small group with Lu Xiangdong just now was completely wiped out, and not one of them ran away.
They all come from the top universities in the British tribe, and they are all accomplished and cutting-edge talents.
And they are all from different universities, either associate professors, Ph.D.s, or even professors and other first-level geniuses.
In this way, ordinary passengers will not feel that they have made something simple, and they will all feel that their previous guesses were wrong.
If something were to happen, how could top students from top schools get together to cause trouble? Besides, they haven’t heard of any world-shocking crime happening in the British tribe recently!
There must be something fishy in this!
It is very likely that another drama will be staged to restrict the return of Long Xia's top talents.
Faced with everyone's confusion, these British coast guards did not mean to explain. Instead, they still went their own way and were extremely arrogant.
Captain Wei Juncheng also saw the clues. When he saw that these people were about to be taken away, he was helpless and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"Sir, all of them are students and have no power to restrain themselves. How could they be the ones who committed the crime?"
"They all hold Longxia tribal passports and are all Longxia people."
"You just took them away, and you took them away from our Longxia tribe's cruise ship. Isn't it against international rules?"
At this time, if he didn't stand up and express his position, then he might as well stop being the captain. What's more, he was also from Longxia and a compatriot of those international students.
The coast guard ignored Captain Wei Juncheng's negotiation, but when they heard his last words, the captains were obviously a little angry and stared at the captain with cold eyes.
"Are you teaching us how to do things?"
"Threaten us with international rules?"
The leading coast guard asked in a deep voice, full of threats!
The coast guards all turned around collectively and stared at Captain Wei Juncheng with eager eyes, each one filled with murderous intent.
