Finally, with more than ten hours left, Jiang Yan Hai and the others were invited into the conference room.
Now in the conference room are the chief mate, captain, Jiang Yan Hai, Gong Jian, Chen Shan Ming, plus the pilot captain.
There were only six people in total.
"Everyone, I want to explain the situation to you now. First of all, we will arrive in this sea area in 15 hours, that is, around one o'clock in the morning local time tomorrow night." The captain first placed a chart on the table and pointed directly at a place.
Jiang Yan Hai They followed the captain's hand and immediately looked at the map. When they saw Somali Sea Area on the map, everyone smiled bitterly. What is this place like? It is world-famous.
"About 7 hours later, we will interrupt the GPS positioning system and communication distress system, and then enter the sea area. We will maintain communication interruption for about 12 hours. During this time, we will not be protected by the escort fleet."
"And we need to stay anchored in this sea area for three hours because our power system will be damaged." The captain said simply.
Jiang Yan Hai They all knew it immediately, "Understood!"
"We may encounter some pirates then, it's up to you." The captain took a deep breath, this could be a risk to their lives.
"We all know, but what we don't know is why we need to use a ship like yours to transport valuable materials." Jiang Yan Hai hesitated. He couldn't figure out this question.
It stands to reason that if it is just such a task, then anyone can do it, and any kind of cargo ship can do it. Why must we use such a bulk cargo ship that has transported valuable materials worth at least hundreds of millions of dollars?
"I don't know about this, I'm just cooperating." The captain said directly, without saying the reason, but saying that he didn't know.
Jiang Yan Hai They looked at each other, then Jiang Yan Hai nodded and said, "Then we understand. Tomorrow after nightfall, we will start to arrange the battlefield. If the enemy does not appear, that would be best. If he does, we will protect the safety of this ship!"
"Okay! It's all up to you. In addition, we will hide in the cabin tomorrow. If you feel that the situation is out of control, please inform us. We will notify the warship. Currently, Yinchuan Ship is performing a mission nearby." Captain Lu Da looked at everyone seriously.
"Understood!" Jiang Yan Hai They nodded immediately. Yinchuan Ship is the latest domestic 052D guided missile destroyer and is performing escort missions nearby. They already know what that means.
This is to guarantee the bottom line, and the best way is naturally for them to complete the task perfectly.
"If you still have any questions, just tell them directly so that we can discuss and resolve them." The captain looked at everyone again before speaking.
"That's it, can you give us some weapons so that we can participate in the defense." Zhang Yan next to him also spoke.
"No." Jiang Yan Hai and Gong Jian said almost at the same time.
"Your value is even higher than these aircraft. If the situation gets that bad, we will directly ask for help from warships." Jiang Yan Hai said simply.
"Yes, that's right. Since they are here to protect the bottom line, it means that you don't need to participate in the battle. You can just protect yourselves." Gong Jian also nodded.
Jiang Yan Hai and Gong Jian said this, and Zhang Yan could only nod his head and said, "Okay, but if there is a need for us, just ask. Although we are pilots and our battlefield is in the sky, we are also soldiers. Even if an eagle lands on the ground, it will still be an eagle."
"Okay!"
Even if this meeting ends like this, there is actually nothing to say. They already know what they should know, and there is no point asking about things they should not know.
All they need to do now is to protect the safety of the ship under such conditions.
Gong Jian They also have a small combat meeting. Combat equipment and the like cannot be worn. They can only wear casual clothes. However, in such a defensive battle, it doesn't matter whether they can wear combat uniforms.
This kind of combat meeting is actually to allocate their respective combat tasks. After the assignment is completed, everyone starts to rest, because they have to arrange the entire battlefield after nightfall.
At this moment in Somalia, in a seaport city near the sea, in a villa, a white man of almost forty years old was talking on the phone.
"No problem, but we want to see the first tranche of funds. You should know very well that it is the China cargo ship. It is not so easy to obtain."
The man spoke calmly, but with a faint smile on his face.
"Don't do this to me! Since you signed our agreement, you should abide by the contract. However, there will be some ordinary other pirates who will cooperate with your actions. Your mission is to seize this ship!" The man on the other end of the phone had an unusually cold voice.
"Are you sure there are only ordinary crew members on this ship?" The man sat up straight and then said.
"I confirm, at most, there may be some retired soldiers and some automatic weapons on it, but you have three helicopters in your hands. Although they are retired models, they were also military helicopters. If you carry enough firepower, it shouldn't be a problem to take down the opponent."
"Okay, I understand, but I want to know one thing, and that is whether we can use heavy weapons."
"No, there are important supplies on the ship, so heavy weapons cannot be used, but I believe in your ability. Besides, if it weren't for this difficulty, do you think I would come to you?"
"Okay, I'll take the job, but I want half of the advance payment."
"No problem, the money will arrive later."
The call was immediately hung up. After the call was hung up, the blond man and the brown-haired man put down his cell phone with a smile.
"Old Man, do we take this job?" A black man wearing full equipment asked.
"Took it, where can we find such a good job? Moreover, there is a scapegoat in this matter. No one can find our head." The man named Old Man nodded with satisfaction.
"Cockroach, tell people to get ready. We will open in a dozen hours. If this business is opened, our reputation in the industry will increase very quickly, and we will be able to make a lot of money by then. Do you understand?" Old Man said with a satisfied smile.
"Understood!" The man code-named Cockroach immediately turned around and left. Outside them, there seemed to be a small base at the moment, with about thirty heavily armed people gathered here.
