Fang Ze looked at Jack Sparrow when he asked him if he recognized the warship, with an expression on his face that was eager to kill him, and an old joke came to mind for no reason.
Two people who were shivering from the cold in the winter walked to a cash transport truck. One asked the other, "Brother, are your hands cold?" '
As a result, before the words could be spoken, the armed escort in the cash transport truck next to them had already pointed his gun at the two of them.
The current situation is that Jack Sparrow does not want to take action because of a slip of the tongue, but really wants to take action against this US Navy destroyer.
In the Age of Discovery, although it was difficult for a civilian cargo ship to kill a warship, it was not impossible.
But in modern times, let alone a civilian cargo ship, not to mention a warship, even a speedboat full of pirates may not be able to defeat it.
Since Fang Ze and Jack Sparrow could see the destroyer through the monocular, the people on the destroyer must also be able to spot the four-masted sailing ship that was slowly approaching. The reason why there has not been any warning here is simply that the naval officers on the warship did not take the Flying Dutchman seriously.
Warships from various countries sailing on the ocean generally do not take the initiative to expel civilian ships out of reputation considerations unless the ship is too close.
Although the Flying Dutchman does not look like a serious civilian cargo ship or cruise ship, it definitely does not look like a pirate ship.
After all, what era is this in? Whose pirates drove a sailboat to rob
Besides, even pirate warships only give warnings to expel them, and will never take the initiative to bombard them. After all, the pirates in the Gulf of Aden are almost extinct after so many years of cruising by various countries. If there were no pirates, how could the five gangsters of the United Nations find excuses to send warships to the Gulf of Aden
Although according to Fang Ze's guess, this place should be close to the South China Sea, the model of the Gulf of Aden is almost the same.
Fang Ze used his shallow military knowledge to give Jack Sparrow a detailed introduction to how terrifying modern warships are. Jack Sparrow rubbed his chin and thought about it, although he still had no way of understanding what the artillery here was. How to tilt out dozens of projectiles every minute, and the range is very far.
In fact, the main attack means of modern warships are various missiles. However, due to the high cost of missiles, naval guns have not yet left the stage. Unlike the situation in the Middle Ages when two ships fired hundreds of cannons at each other and could only hit a few hits, the barrage attack of modern warships can ensure that everything floating on the sea in the entire sea area will be instantly destroyed in a short period of time. For fly ash.
"In that case." Just when Fang Ze thought that Jack Sparrow was about to give up, Jack Sparrow made a surprising turn and continued, "Let's just board the ship and fight them."
"We can't even get close, how can we fight?" Fang Ze wanted to run as far as he could with the pick-up captain in his arms.
The other crew members on the Flying Dutchman are immortal, but he is not.
"You forgot one thing." Jack Sparrow turned to Fang Ze and showed a bright smile, "We can dive."
After staying for a while, the Flying Dutchman turned its bow and sailed toward the distance. At the same time, the crew on the US destroyer also saw this strange sailing ship.
"That ship seems strange." A naval officer put down his telescope and said to his companions. "It looks like an ancient antique. Logically speaking, it shouldn't appear here."
"Maybe some rich man renovated it." The naval officer's friend joked disapprovingly, "Maybe we encountered the legendary ghost ship."
"I wonder if I could send a speedboat to take a look."
"Forget it. We still have to launch the submarine." His companion patted the naval officer on the shoulder and said, "It's more important to get down to business."
The Flying Dutchman gradually disappeared from the sight of the destroyer. As a sailing ship blessed with the magic of Calypso, the goddess of the sea, it was impossible to be detected by radar, so even if a naval officer was interested in the ship. The four-masted schooner was of interest, and it was impossible to find any more signs of it.
"This distance is almost enough." Jack Sparrow said and threw two sponge-like things to Fang Ze. "Put this thing on your nose and you can breathe underwater. To be cautious, we will dive very deep."
Fang Ze took this thing, then asked a crew member for a rope, tied the gambling addict to the boat with the rope, and then tied a knot on his face.
"I seem to be dreaming about a woman." The old man from Gambling Quit reluctantly raised his head and looked at Fang Ze and said, "A very ugly woman."
woman
Fang Ze heard what his brother said and looked around and found that there was not even a crew member who looked like a woman, let alone a woman.
After all, in the Age of Discovery, women who could board ships and become pirates were still as rare as a feather.
"This woman also asked me if I want to leave here with her." The old man, quit gambling, was still talking nonsense. Fang Ze guessed that it might be because this old man was very weak now, which caused his body to do some similar things to his brain. In a dreamlike suggestion.
If a woman wants to take him out of here, it probably means that this old man's body cannot hold on anymore.
"Don't listen to her nonsense." Fang Ze patted his brother's face and said, "Just stay here and don't move around. I'll buy an orange. Bah, I'll find medicine for you."
"Yeah." The old man was vaguely unaware that Fang Ze had taken advantage of his words, so he nodded and continued to lie down honestly.
The Flying Dutchman began to gradually enter the seabed, and Fang Ze could feel that they had dropped at least fifty meters. Logically speaking, at this depth, you should be able to fully feel the strong underwater pressure, but I don't know if there is magic working on the Flying Dutchman. Fang Ze did not feel any discomfort on this ship.
Logically speaking, the Flying Dutchman would be discovered by the sonar on the destroyer even if it was snorkeling from the bottom of the sea. However, after Fang Ze told Jack Sparrow about this matter, Captain Jack reassured Fang Ze and said nothing. It is impossible to spot the Flying Dutchman underwater.
'The distance is almost there. 'Jack Sparrow couldn't speak at the bottom of the sea. He relied entirely on gestures to command his crew. After descending to a depth, the ship began to dive forward like a ghost.
By this time it was completely dark, and the US Navy destroyer also began to sail slowly. However, this sailing speed was obviously slower than the submarine speed of the Flying Dutchman. Soon, the Flying Dutchman had reached below the destroyer and began to rise.
"There seems to be something under the water!"
Because it was night, and no one dared to attack an American warship in the sea, the vigilance on the ship was not very strong. But even so, when the Flying Dutchman rose to about 20 meters underwater, the naval soldiers on the destroyer still discovered something strange underwater.
"Accelerate the ascent." Jack Sparrow gestured to the crew members on the front line of the battle to immediately prepare to leave the ship and land on the enemy's deck.
One after another, sailors from the Caribbean world who were not afraid of death floated to the sea. After discovering these people, the naval soldiers on the destroyer immediately fired a warning to let them leave here immediately.
Until now, these navy soldiers have not realized that they are being targeted by pirates.
After all, the navy of any country listed among the top five rogues would not think that it would be robbed by pirates at sea.
The crew of the Flying Dutchman ignored the sticks pointed at them inexplicably. These guys directly swung the hook locks and fastened them firmly to the warship, and then stepped on the sides of the ship one by one. Start preparing directly to rush to the deck and prepare for hand-to-hand combat.
"Damn, what happened." The captain of the destroyer heard the siren sounding on the ship, quickly put on his combat uniform and came out, asking what happened.
"Someone is boarding the ship." A panting soldier ran over and used a walkie-talkie to contact the soldiers on the deck while reporting the situation to the captain.
"Are they Russians?!" The captain subconsciously pulled out his gun and asked.
"I don't know." The soldier shook his head and said, "But they seem to have climbed up from the bottom of the sea."
seabed
The captain's military qualities made him immediately think that the enemy might have sent divers to launch a surprise attack. If this is the case, then there must be enemy submarines or warships around.
"The entire ship has entered combat status and reported to the headquarters immediately to request support."
Without knowing who the enemy he was facing was, the captain immediately made the safest response.
The U.S. Navy has its own military bases and allies in every ocean and continent in the world. Therefore, the first reaction of every U.S. military when encountering an enemy is to call for support regardless of how many enemies there are.
The only thing you can do is fight one person more than the other. The lone hero is something that only happens in movies.
Not long after the captain's order was issued, a pattern on the poop of the Flying Dutchman, which was about to rise to the sea, suddenly bloomed with a strange green light.
This green light swept directly across the sea area, causing an electromagnetic storm.
"Communication failure!"
"The radar isn't working!"
"Unable to contact headquarters!"
"The automatic attack system has stopped functioning!"
In just a few seconds, all the electronic equipment on the battleship was interfered with at the same time. Not to mention contacting the headquarters, even the walkie-talkies used by the soldiers had no effect.
At the same time, the crew of the Flying Dutchman, who was at the forefront, had boarded the deck brandishing scimitars.
"Fire!" Although the soldiers on the deck couldn't figure out why this group of enemies who suddenly attacked from the bottom of the sea were holding cold weapons, this did not prevent them from pouring out firepower.
The fully automatic rifle instantly began to spit out tongues of fire, and countless bullets formed a metal storm and hit the bodies of the pirates who had just boarded the ship. However, before the first round of shooting was over, the soldiers on the deck were horrified to find that the enemy on the opposite side had no chance at all. Didn't fall down, didn't even retreat!
ps: Because the author is a military novice, he made a mistake in the previous article that wooden ships cannot be detected by radar. This has been corrected to the magical effect of Calypso. The crew of the Flying Dutchman was also reinforced.
The phrase "buying oranges" comes from Zhu Ziqing's "Back View". In the article, the father asked his son to stay there while he went to buy an orange.
