From arms dealer to king of war
Chapter 1118 The First Naval Battle
This is the first time for Boss Qiao to fight through a boat...
The operation of the naval gun controller in front of me is not complicated at all. The lock is hung up, and all that is left is to confirm the target and press the firing button.
The thoughtful naval gun control system even calculates the enemy's movement trajectory, ensuring that even a novice can hit a low-speed target with 5 to 8 rounds of ammunition.
When he was two kilometers away from the battle circle, Boss Qiao fired 8 cannonballs and shattered an outer pirate ship into pieces. Then he cheered and shouted to Nice next to him: "I knew it, even if it was a cannonball, I would the best……
Shoot, shoot, let's shoot them..."
Nice blinked and looked at Boss Qiao. He pressed the firing button perfunctorily and fired dozens of bullets. Then he smiled shyly and said, "I forgot, we haven't entered the shooting range yet."
After hearing this, Qiao Jia shook his head in embarrassment. Only then did he realize that he was using the CTAS CT40 submersible cannon, which is currently considered the most advanced French weapon.
This thing has an extremely high range, and its special high-explosive shells are more than twice as powerful as artillery shells of the same caliber.
A 40mm cannon at a distance of one thousand meters can easily penetrate 140mm of homogeneous armor. Coupled with the modifications made by Naval Group, Boss Qiao, a novice at sea, can easily do something wrong.
Seeing Nice staring at the monitor, Boss Qiao said nonchalantly: "I'm a newbie, so it's normal to be excited."
As he spoke, Qiao Jia glanced at the footage captured by the drone, and said to Dorian: "Elephant, destroy those large ships outside, and then we rush in..."
Dorian wanted to tell his boss that naval warfare was not the way to go, but refuting his boss was not conducive to promotion and salary increase, so he decisively reached out and checked a few targets, then accelerated while shouting loudly: "Mistral Missile 4 shots ready...
The ‘Eros’ assault…”
The engine room of the Eros, which had always been very quiet, suddenly emitted a dull roar. The nearly 50-meter-long ship suddenly began to accelerate, and the people in the cabin even felt a push on their backs.
Under the control of Dorian, the Eros exceeded the prescribed maximum speed limit and reached 40 knots.
What is the concept of a boat running at a speed of about 80 kilometers per hour?
People who have ridden a motorboat should be able to feel that once the motorboat reaches a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, every time it passes a wave, when the bottom of the motorboat comes into contact with the water, it feels like it hits the cement floor.
The Eros is not a motorboat. As a rare trimaran, she has shown extremely strong stability. However, the bumps caused by acceleration still made the sharpshooter Joe completely lose his accuracy.
After trying more than ten rounds in a row without hitting the target, Boss Qiao understood why large-caliber naval guns and super battleships were eliminated...
It is indeed impossible to fire a gun accurately while traveling at high speed on the sea, no matter how advanced your auxiliary system is.
Larger warships may be better, but small ships like the Eros can run very fast. Unless they can deal damage at close range, all they need to hit the target is luck.
Boss Qiao, who discovered the problem, glared at Dorian, who obviously knew what was going to happen. Just when he was about to use a few curse words to regain his face, the Mistral missile on the Eros was launched.
Four 1.8-meter-long Mistral missiles shot up into the sky with tail flames, and then scattered in different directions, each in an arc, and accurately hit several pirate ships floating on the periphery, which were obviously for command and supply purposes.
The 3-kilogram explosive part tore huge cracks in the aluminum alloy hulls. The number of casualties among the pirates was unclear, but when the missile exploded, more than a dozen pirates jumped into the water on the ships that were attacked.
Immediately afterwards, the Eros, which had already entered a one-kilometer range, accelerated again. After adjusting its direction slightly, it passed by the flank of the pirate group like an ancient cavalry.
The ‘Eros’ was like a hot knife cutting through butter, separating the two pirate ships from the pirate group.
As they passed by, the two heavy machine guns on the top of the cockpit opened fire at the same time, and the 12.7 mm high-explosive shells set the two boats on fire.
Immediately afterwards, the Eros adjusted its direction again and circled at high speed close to the periphery of the pirate camp. The two machine guns controlled by Ayo and Niss opened fire at the same time...
The two fires were like two deadly long whips beating cruelly on the sea. All pirate ships passing by would explode without exception. The brittle ones simply disintegrated into silence, while the stronger ones were paralyzed and slowly sank in place. .
The pirates resisted subconsciously at first, but Dorian kept the distance very well. The pirates' RPG could never reach the Eros, and the bullets fired blindly could not hit the Eros traveling at high speed... …
As Boss Qiao found some sense, he hit the stern of a speedboat with one shot, directly destroying the speedboat. The pirates who were driving the small sampan to rob no longer dared to stay and began to speed up and flee.
The combat effectiveness of the Sea Eagle-43 is very weak. Compared with serious warships, it is simply too easy to fight these pirate boats.
Qiao Jia gave up firing after a few more shots. It was because his level was not good, and the cost-effectiveness of chasing these pirates was too low.
Those boats that were obviously made out of flat pieces were not as expensive as cannonballs.
This is also the reason why piracy is still rampant even after the Gulf of Aden fleet has been escorted for so many years.
No matter what you use to fight pirates, as long as you are at sea, as long as you open fire, or even if you just go around in circles to intimidate them, you will lose money, and it is a huge loss measured in tens of thousands!
The key to solving piracy has always been on shore, not at sea.
Seeing the pirates fleeing like frightened birds, Boss Qiao signaled Dorian to slow down a little and let the Eros slowly approach the freighter.
In the picture displayed by the drone, the Eros intervened in the battlefield and dispersed the pirates, which did not make the people on the freighter feel at ease.
On the contrary, the mercenaries and sailors on it seemed to be more nervous than when they faced the pirates. They gathered near the point where the freighter boarded the ship, and then the call of the 'Hansen' freighter sounded on the public channel...
"This is the Hansen. Thank you for helping us drive away the pirates. Our ship is leaking oil and our employees are making repairs. Please don't get close..."
Qiao Jia picked up the radio with a smile and said: "We are the Princess Maritime Security Company, and this is the Eros.
Sir, have you purchased shipping insurance? "
"Of course, we are a regular maritime freight company..."
"Wow, the maritime mercenaries you hired are very tenacious, but it is still a pity that we did not purchase escort services from Princess Maritime Security."
"Thank you very much for your help. Our head office will contact you and pay you a fee.
I suggest you get out of here. It is illegal to start a war in Somali waters without authorization. I don't want you to face trouble because of us.
A maintenance ship and a ship from a maritime security company will arrive soon, and we can handle the next problems by ourselves..."
Qiao Jia was amused by the tone of the people on the boat. It was obvious that they were extremely frightened and even pretended to be calm while talking to him...
They knew they couldn't run away, so they just waited for time here with a sense of luck, hoping that the people behind them would find a way to solve the problem.
Qiao Jia was not in a hurry at the moment. He hung up the communication and asked Dorian to retreat a few kilometers to team up with the Princess again. Then the two ships stopped in place, monitoring the Hansen freighter from a distance... …
Anyway, it would still take a few hours for the Somali Coast Guard to arrive. Qiao Jia wanted to see if the Edward Foundation really had the power to fish out the Hansen in this case.
At that time, no matter who comes closer, Joga will ask the Somali Coast Guard to detain them all...
In the end, it is estimated that the Somali government has nothing to do with them, but the contraband contained in the 40,000-ton cargo ship is enough to make the Somalis happy.
It just so happens that Boss Qiao is still worried about the lack of firepower to attack Al-Shabaab in Somalia. Although those Valkyrie rocket launchers are old, they can always hit something with more than 2,000 shells.
Boss Qiao is not anxious, but the people on the cargo ship and the people behind them are anxious...
Someone found people from France and began to put pressure. They used the reason that the Eros opened fire without authorization and wanted the French to order the Princess Maritime Security Company to cease operations.
In the case of "conclusive evidence", the French could not excuse themselves.
But what everyone did not expect was that when the call was made to the Monaco headquarters of the Princess Maritime Security Company, a Somali maritime security agreement was produced there, which clarified the legality of the Princess Fleet's attack on Somali pirates.
That is the waters of Somalia. The Federation of Somalia is a legal government recognized by the United Nations. It is reasonable and legal for them to ask the princess fleet to cooperate in the fight against piracy.
No one fired a single shot at the cargo ship. Instead, there was video proving that the cargo ship used illegal firepower during the confrontation with the pirates.
The headquarters of Princess Maritime Security Company in Monaco is only 15 square meters. There is only one front desk, one operator and one accountant in the headquarters.
Faced with the "rude request" from France, several small staff behaved in a mess.
Not only did they push back the French people on the phone, they also notified the media and released the video evidence in their hands.
The fat lady at the front desk, who was in her forties, faced the good-faith media and vividly told the story of how the Hansen had repaid kindness and revenge, and told the media in a firm tone that there must be something wrong with the Hansen...
Princess Charlene is now an angel in the hearts of the people of Monaco and is the core key to Monaco’s external image...
As soon as the media moved, this small place of only two square kilometers spread instantly!
Just kidding, our princess’s company is the same one that you can shut down if you say it is. If they go out of business, wouldn’t Monaco’s national defense be gone?
Our king is a big scumbag and doesn't care about anything. We will remind him to get up and do some serious things. The most important thing is to protect his wife!
Albert II, who was negotiating with people in Greece, was instantly shot...
Choga waited for 6 hours at sea before the Somali Coast Guard arrived. At this time, Albert II and the Greek official issued a statement, severely condemning France's rude request...
Qiao Jia watched Albert II's press conference on his mobile phone, and saw that this guy was so stupid that he posted the private Twitter account of Francesco and called on Charlene's fans to come together to protest. He couldn't bear it. I raised my middle finger to this guy from thousands of kilometers away...
Then he looked at a group of Somali coast guards who were even shabbier than pirates, and said funnyly: "The boats of these people don't look as big as King Kong's shoes..."
