Chapter 748 Prepare for Action

Information Security Center, 6th Floor, Headquarters of Star Group, Kismayo City.

Li Mo is sitting in front of a large liquid crystal display, looking at the computer-simulated waters of northeastern Somalia on the monitor.

A 10,000-ton cargo ship is driving slowly to the south at a low speed ten kilometers away from the Somali territorial sea. It is more than 40 kilometers away from Cape Pina and 160 kilometers away from Cape Hafung. On the Somali territorial sea more than 20 kilometers south of the cargo ship, seven or eight small fishing boats are accelerating to the north, which seems to be to meet the cargo ship.

More than 10 kilometers north of the cargo ship, a warship is following at the same speed as the cargo ship. It is the South Korean Navy's KDX-2 missile destroyer Cui Ying. At this moment, about 180 kilometers away, an Omani naval frigate was sailing to the southwest on the eastern western Indian Ocean of the Cui Ying. It seemed that Fangfo was also chasing the hijacked cargo ship.

Chen Zhichang, the chief officer of the Information Security Center, is explaining to Li Mo the movements of the ships on the simulation screen, so that Li Mo can have a deeper understanding of the operation gathered off the coast of Somalia.

"North Korean special forces are on those boats?" Li Mo pointed to the seven or eight fishing boats that were gathering towards the freighters in the territorial sea.

"Yes, boss! On these ships, in addition to the North Korean special forces, there are also 30 temporary pirates and 20 official pirates recruited by the 'Aden Bay Hunter'. Their mission will be to attack the warships after the South Korean Navy launches an attack. Chen Zhichang explained with a smile.

Fan Qingqing, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help fighting a cold war when he heard the words. Now she finally understands how much danger and conspiracy is contained in this plan. The appearance of the North Korean special forces will definitely be beyond everyone's expectations, and when the South Korean special forces rescued the hostages, they did not expect that it was not pirates at all, but the 'old opponent' of the North Korean special forces. In addition, those pirates recruited temporarily will become cannon fodder to attack warships. If they are lucky, they may survive. If they are unlucky, they will definitely be destroyed by the weapons on the Korean ship.

Let a group of informal pirates with second-hand AKs fight against destroyers, which can only be seen here. At this time, she had a deeper understanding of her man's heart.

"Qingqing, these people are restless people. They are easy to be absorbed by other pirate groups. At that time, they will be a cancer that harms one side. It's better to take this opportunity to use it for me. In short, if these people die, their families will also get a pension. Li Mo seemed to be aware of the emotional changes of the women around him and turned his head to explain.

"I know!" Fan Qingqing smiled at Li Moyanran and said.

As soon as Li Moxiao was about to speak, a staff member came in and reported that there was movement on the South Korean destroyer. He immediately looked at the display screen. Sure enough, the Han [***] ship was accelerating to the cargo ship, and soon, a 'Bobcat' helicopter was taking off on the destroyer and flying to the cargo ship.

According to the information, it was quickly learned that South Korea was really going to act, and the helicopter did not take off to carry the special forces to attack, but to observe the movements of the pirates on the freighter and the hostages.

Then news came from Basel on the cargo ship that South Korea [***] was giving an ultimatum demanding that the pirates immediately release the hostages and surrender, otherwise the South Korean navy would attack immediately.

From the mensive South Korean navy, Li Mo has known that the other party will not give up. They will not let the pirates evacuate safely at all. Their real purpose is to eliminate the pirates.

"Boss, why are Koreans so arrogant? Don't they know that it is not the best choice to use force against pirates? I remember that Somali pirates once said that if any country takes force against pirates, the pirates will retaliate against them. Don't these Koreans care about the Korean ships that will pass here in the future? Fan Qingqing asked a few questions in a row in surprise. In her opinion, these South Koreans are out of their minds. You know, in the past year since the United Nations's resolution to escort the Gulf of Aden, even the United States' naval ships in this area have not really clashed with pirates, because Americans know how to treat this place. For pirates with a bottom line, force is not the best choice. On the contrary, it is easy to intensify the contradictions between pirates and bring more trouble. And the U.S. Navy attaches more importance to the safety of hostages. Without 100% certainty, it will not try anything to provoke pirates.

The South Korean navy obviously ignores this. There are currently 21 hostages on the freighter, half of whom are Koreans. They are now controlled by pirates. Any fierce action they may lead to the rage of the pirates and kill the hostages.

Li Mo couldn't help laughing and said, "Who knows? Stick's brain has always been so simple. Perhaps they feel that a group of pirates will definitely be afraid and lose resistance in the face of their most advanced and powerful warships. Moreover, I think the stick may want to be a pirate this time.

"Li Wei?" Fan Qingqing stared at him and said incredulously, "Do they use pirates to gain power? Gee, only the stick will come up with such a way!"

Li Mo thought more in his heart. He didn't take the opportunity to make trouble this time. He has now smoothed the internal relations of Somalia, and his vision has begun to radiate to the surrounding areas. And those outer [***] ships coming and going in the Gulf of Aden have naturally become the focus of Li Mo. And unlike others, Li Mo knows very well that there may really be a so-called Stargate under the Gulf of Aden. This can be seen from the maze on the treasure map left by Egal, and Luo Xiang and others obtained something suspected to be an alien sarcophagus. There must be unknown secrets near the Gulf of Aden.

Now the warships of various countries have been hovering here for a year, and some have even changed several batches, but the search and research of the Gulf of Aden has not stopped for a moment.

Rumors are not groundless, not to mention that Li Mo still has conclusive evidence in his hand. Not far beyond the technology of modern technology, how can the sarcophagus suddenly disappear without a trace? Just like the transmission in mythology.

Simplely obtained sarcophagus fragments and black mysterious metal in the underground labyrinth, which made Li Mo's scientific research force spend all his energy on research. Up to now, he has only mastered 20% of the technology implied by these 'alternal alien fragments', and the Y substances obtained from the nuclear weapons base are what Li Mo now survives. Fundamental. Li Mo is so eager for these mysterious materials and technologies that he must participate immediately.

And only by stirring up the water of the seemingly busy 'escort mission' in the Gulf of Aden can Li Mo take the opportunity to intervene, otherwise it is very easy to cause resistance from other countries.

"How long is the North Korean special forces away from the freighter now?" Ten minutes later, Li Mo asked again. At this moment, the display screen has changed. The Han [***] ship is still six kilometers away from the cargo ship, and the Bobcat helicopter seems to have the intention of returning to the warship after being rejected by the pirates. Once the helicopter returns, the South Korean special forces may be dispatched.

With the participation of the North Korean special forces, the more than a dozen people in Basel's hands can't stop the attack of the South Korean special forces unless they really use the hostages as a shield. Not to mention whether the South Korean special forces will retreat regardless of the safety of the hostages, even Li Mo does not want the hostages to suffer casualties. He wanted to let South Korea suffer a loss, rather than completely tearing up with South Korea, because he felt that not only himself and North Korea were involved in this matter, but also seemed to be noticed and even involved in it, such as the Omani naval frigate that suddenly turned towards the cargo ship.

There is a South Korean destroyer, which is already killing chickens against more than a dozen pirates. Why do Oman's naval frigates come to intervene? Oman, which is across the sea from Somalia, will not easily offend those pirates under special circumstances.

"It will take about 20 minutes. If you drive at full speed, you can meet the cargo ship in a quarter of an hour at most, and if the South Korean special forces take helicopters and speedboats, they can reach the freighter in up to 10 minutes." Chen Zhichang answered immediately after strict calculation.

Li Mo frowned when he heard the words, which was equivalent to saying that Basel had to resist the South Korean special forces for 5 minutes. From the intelligence, this South Korean destroyer can carry two Super Bobcat helicopters, each of which can carry 9 fully armed soldiers at a time. That is to say, even if you don't use a speedboat, you can drop 18 special forces members to the cargo ship at a time. There are only 13 soldiers in Baisail, including himself, and there are no anti-aircraft weapons, except for rocket launchers.

The Bobcat helicopter is a multi-purpose helicopter. The naval model can not only carry soldiers, but also carry anti-ship missiles, rockets and other heavy weapons. With a 20mm cannon, it can be said that two Bobcat helicopters can destroy all of them.

However, Li Mo is not too worried, mainly because there are hostages in Basel, and as long as they are hidden in the cargo ship, the heavy weapons of the Bobcat helicopter will be useless, unless Han [***] intends to sink all the freighters, which is impossible.

Five minutes is neither long nor short. Now it depends on the 'lone wolf' Basel's temporary response ability and the speed of the North Korean special forces. As long as North Korean special forces with portable anti-aircraft weapons arrive there, it is possible to offset the threat of the other party's helicopter.

"Qingqing, give Assad an order to prepare. It is the duty of the Somali Defense Forces to fight pirates and protect Somali citizens. They should be ready to intervene at any time. Li Mo's eyes flashed for a while and ordered.

At this moment, on the 'Cui Ying' missile destroyer, Captain Zheng Zaihao looked at his watch with red eyes, and soldiers' reports came from time to time to understand the movement of the sea area.

"Captain Cui, it's almost time. Let the special forces get ready. Please remember that this war is related to the international reputation of the navy of the Republic of Korea. Please ensure the success of the mission at all costs. In the last sentence, Zheng Zaihao said word by word with a murderous face.
