"House, this is Fang Lang, please report the location of the unknown ship."
Fang Lang directly picked up the intercom and called the command station of the House.
Soon a clear reply came from the intercom:
"Yes, General.
Unknown ship position 026, distance 28 nautical miles. "
After all, it was within Brazil's own waters. In order to prevent the radar from overheating when it was turned on for a long time, the radar on the aircraft carrier was not turned on at this time.
The ships of the entire aircraft carrier formation were taking turns to turn on their radars, and the one whose radar was turned on at this moment was naturally the destroyer USS House, which was clearing the way ahead.
There were actually ships disobeying the orders of the Brazilian Navy in Brazilian waters. Of course, Fang Lang couldn't be polite.
But this is not a time of war, so we cannot directly order others to fire indiscriminately.
The distance was 28 nautical miles, and it was too long to wait for the House to approach.
He was currently commanding an aircraft carrier, so Fang Lang said without hesitation:
"Order the reconnaissance plane to take off and confirm the identity of the unknown ship as soon as possible."
A communications soldier next to him immediately picked up the intercom and began to relay the order.
Fang Lang smiled and said to De La Torre beside him:
"I didn't expect that the first time I ordered a plane to take off would be like this."
De La Torre obviously did not expect that unknown ships would appear in Brazil's own territorial waters.
He said with a somewhat serious expression:
"Boss, do you want to raise the fleet alert level?"
Logically speaking, there should be no enemies near Brazil during this period.
After all, World War II had just ended, and all the countries in the world capable of waging war were licking their wounds.
But after all, he is a senior general of the Brazilian Navy, leading Brazil's most powerful naval fleet.
You must not be careless.
Therefore, he quickly realized that this was not the right time to joke.
Even if this is a misunderstanding, it must be treated as a real enemy situation.
Turning to de la Torre, he nodded and said:
"Whoever this guy is, we're going to treat him like an enemy ship.
Order the fleet to enter level one combat readiness. "
De La Torre nodded seriously, picked up the phone and broadcast:
"A ship of unknown origin was found in front of the fleet.
Following the official order of the fleet commander, the entire fleet entered level one combat readiness.
Please note this is not a drill!
repeat! This is not a drill! "
As the broadcast rang, the entire fleet began to become restless.
Radar and sonar are now powered on.
Anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns had their jackets ripped off.
Personnel from various combat positions began to enter combat positions.
The soldiers moved boxes of ammunition to the artillery position and loaded the artillery.
The air became heavy.
Due to the current shortage of naval aviation, the fleet's naval aviation is still responsible for training new students recruited from the school.
Only two pilots were selected and set off with the fleet.
Fortunately, the naval aviation instructors from the American advisory group are all on board the aircraft carrier.
Although General Clark returned to the United States and helped Fang Lang run the military contracting company.
Fang Lang was not sure whether these aviation instructors would obey his orders and help him perform combat missions.
But Fang Lang believes that since everyone is on the same boat, there should be no problem in giving them some benefits and asking them to help.
Of course this is the worst case scenario.
Now only one ship has been discovered, and it is surrounded by destroyers and cruisers for protection. There should be no need for an aircraft carrier to take action.
Soon a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft roared from the deck and flew into the sky, flying straight in the direction where the enemy ship was found.
For an airplane, you can fly to 28 nautical miles in ten minutes.
Therefore, just as the entire fleet was on standby, the reconnaissance plane quickly discovered the unknown ship that the House said.
The pilot of the reconnaissance aircraft was Sam Dudley, a Brazilian naval aviation pilot affiliated with the Rio de Janeiro.
The weather was clear today and there was a clear direction. Sam Dudley soon discovered a small black spot on the sea.
I took out my telescope and took a look and found that it looked like a fishing boat.
Without hesitation, he directly lowered his altitude and flew over.
When you get closer, you can see that it is really a fishing boat, and the tonnage of the fishing boat is not large. It looks like it is more than fifty tons at most.
Sam Dudley breathed a sigh of relief.
Continue to lower the height and continue to observe when you are less than a hundred meters away from the other party.
However, it was discovered that the fishing boat had no obvious nationality mark.
Sam Dudley quickly picked up the communicator and called:
"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, I am the hummingbird, please answer when you receive it!"
"Eagle's Nest received! Hummingbird, please speak!"
“Hummingbird discovered that the unknown vessel was a fishing vessel of unknown nationality.
Do you need a hummingbird warning to drive you away? "
"Eagle's Nest received! Please keep watch and wait for further orders!"
Fang Lang on the aircraft carrier quickly received the information.
"Your Excellency, General, according to our aircraft's close reconnaissance, we found that the intruder into our fleet's route was a fishing boat of unknown nationality."
The intelligence officer holding a briefing stood beside Fang Lang and reported the report.
When Fang Lang heard this situation, he frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Fishing boat?"
"Yes, General.
The forward pilot asked if warning shots were needed to drive away from the ship. "
Fang Lang thought about it. If it was a fishing boat, it would be normal for him to not receive a warning from the House.
After all, not every ship these days is equipped with radio communications.
It seems that something went wrong this time.
I just don’t know why this fishing boat didn’t fly the national flag.
“Keep a watch! Don’t shoot warning shots, it would be bad if it was our own fishermen in Brazil.
We can just ask the House to send someone to board the ship to check it, and then drive us away from the ship. "
"Yes, General."
After receiving the order, the intelligence officer stood at attention, saluted, turned and left.
Sam Dudley soon received the order.
"Hummingbird, hummingbird, I am the Eagle Nest, please answer when you receive it!"
"Eagle's Nest, Eagle's Nest, I am the hummingbird, please speak when you receive it!"
"Hummingbird, please keep watch. The House will send people to board the ship to carry out the expulsion mission."
Sam Dudley, who was flying around the fishing boat, sighed after hearing the order.
It seemed that there was no chance to fire this time.
Then, he found two people on the fishing boat walking to the bow, and in their hands was a long gun.
The gun is already aimed at itself.
Sam Dudley was shocked.
"FUCK!"
Because the distance between the plane and the fishing boat is only more than 100 meters. Sam Dudley didn't dare to bet that the opponent would miss him.
It's a sharp turn away.
But he still heard the sound of "Peng" and the other party had already fired.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and coupled with the speed of the plane, Sam Dudley did not feel that the plane was hit.
However, this behavior of the fishing boat has completely angered him.
To fire on Brazilian naval aircraft in Brazilian waters is to start a war.
"Eagle's nest, eagle's nest, this is the hummingbird, please answer when you receive it!"
"Eagle's Nest received! Hummingbird, please speak!"
"A gunman from an unknown ship shot at me. Hummingbird applied to fight back."
"What? Hummingbird, is it damaged?"
"Reporting to the eagle's nest, the hummingbird escaped in a sharp turn and was temporarily unharmed."
"Please stay at a safe distance and continue to monitor.
Eagle's Nest immediately requested permission to fire. "
The situation ahead quickly reached Fang Lang.
This situation was beyond Fang Lang's expectation. He turned to look at de la Torre and asked:
"Who do you think the other party will be?"
De La Torre obviously did not expect to encounter such a situation in his own territory.
"I don't know, could it be a smuggling ship?"
Fang Lang thought for a while and said directly:
"Don't worry about it. Just arrest the other party and we'll know after the interrogation, right?"
After speaking, he turned to the intelligence officer beside him and said:
"Tell the pilot that I want to survive and allow him to fight back, but he must leave me alive."
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the clear instructions, the intelligence officer stood at attention and saluted, then turned and left.
Sam Dudley soon received orders from the Eagle's Nest.
He glanced at the fishing boat not far away that was celebrating wildly because he had distanced himself.
He showed a disdainful smile.
Is it too early to be happy if we start celebrating now?
Pushing the rudder, it flew directly to the right and flew behind the fishing boat.
He muttered, "Since the higher-ups want to survive, then it's okay to let you lose motivation!"
After saying that, the nose of the machine was pointed at the stern rudder of the fishing boat, and it was a shuttle.
The 12.7mm aviation machine gun is so powerful that it can directly tear the tail of the fishing boat into pieces.
The people on the ship obviously did not expect that the plane's revenge would be so fierce.
With just a short burst of fire, the fishing boat lost power and its speed dropped directly.
What's even more frightening is that the machine gun shot through the stern cabin and the fishing boat began to take in water.
The people on the boat were so frightened that they screamed.
This also made the few people with weapons in their hands more fierce. They picked up their rifles and started shooting at Sam Dudley's plane.
Fortunately, Sam Dudley had anticipated it and immediately pulled away after hitting the fishing boat.
It made the fishing boat's counterattack look so weak.
After firing, Sam Dudley seemed much more relaxed.
This trip was not in vain, a small short burst of fire made the opponent lose the ability to resist.
Although the target he was dealing with was a small fishing boat, he seemed a little invincible.
But Sam Dudley didn't care at all.
This is a peaceful era, and it is already quite rare to get a chance to actually fight, so what else do you want from a bicycle?
Looking at the fishing boats on the sea that were getting slower and slower, Sam Dudley knew that his goal had been achieved.
The current fishing boat is a living target floating on the sea, with no chance to escape from his control.
Soon, a huge destroyer appeared in his sight, and Sam Dudley flew a plane over the side of the destroyer.
On the side less than fifty meters away, he waved his wings slightly as a greeting.
The crew on the ship also waved to him.
Sam Dudley smiled with satisfaction,
"Yeah! This feels great."
This huge destroyer is naturally the meritorious battleship House that Fang Lang originally commanded.
Two traffic boats from the destroyer were lowered.
Two teams of heavily armed marines rushed to the fishing boat floating not far away.
Sam Dudley did not leave, because your own aircraft carrier is very close here and your own cruising range is completely sufficient.
Of course he didn't want to miss such an interesting thing, so he piloted the plane and flew towards the fishing boat in a perfect shape above the two traffic boats.
The people on the fishing boat were obviously frightened by the huge destroyer not far away.
One of the men who looked like a captain yelled a few times, and all the crew raised their rifles with serious faces, aiming at the traffic boats and aircraft that were getting closer and closer.
Sam Dudley was piloting the plane at a relatively high angle, so he was the first to see clearly the movements of the people on board.
He was shocked. What kind of fishing boat was this?
Everyone can pull out a weapon, they can’t be pirates!
Thinking in his mind, he already pulled the joystick and started to climb up.
