"This is the Chinese merchant ship 'Zhanyun'."
"We were attacked by pirates."
"We were attacked by pirates."
At this point, they had just parted ways with Emily's carrier strike group.
Having received orders from their superiors, they began their advance into the country.
"Report: The merchant ship 'Yue Sheng' or 'Zhan Yun' is under attack by pirates."
The correspondent quickly reported the situation to Li Jun.
"???"
Yuan Yi, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment after hearing the report.
Then he looked at Li Jun with a puzzled expression.
"Captain, this isn't right, is it?"
"Isn't it said that there are many pirates in Somalia?"
"We're not in Somalia or the Gulf of Aden right now!"
"How can there be pirates in the Arabian Sea?!"
Li Jun rolled his eyes after hearing Yuan Yi's words.
"Who told you pirates only exist in these few places?"
"It's just that the places you just mentioned are frequented by pirates."
"Now that there are UN escort fleets wherever they can't get any supplies, they'll naturally move on to other places!"
"Immediately locate the Zhanyun."
"Yes, Captain."
"Report: The Zhanyun is 300 nautical miles away from us, at longitudes of ______ and latitudes of ______."
Upon hearing the report, Li Jun immediately took out his walkie-talkie.
"Carp City, proceed immediately to provide support."
"Dispatch armed helicopters for rescue."
Yuan Yi's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He ran straight outside.
Where are you going?
Li Jun asked.
"ah?"
"I'm going for a walk."
He then ran down from the bridge and headed towards the helicopter landing pad.
At this moment, members of the Jiaolong Commando Team were boarding a plane on the aircraft carrier's helipad.
"Wait a minute," Yuan Yi called out from behind.
The captain of the Jiaolong Commando looked up at Yuan Yi.
Yuan Yi's name has been the talk of the town on the aircraft carrier for some time now.
"Flying dragon?"
What brings you here?
Yuan Yi looked at Zhao Long and chuckled, saying, "Captain Zhao, how about we go for a ride together?"
"Don't worry, I'm a pretty good shot!"
Zhao Long was stunned after hearing Yuan Yi's words.
He looked at Yuan Yi with a troubled expression.
Yuan Yi patted Zhao Long on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the captain knows and agrees!"
"Zhao Long, bring him back to me!"
At that moment, Li Jun's voice came through the communicator.
Within the entire aircraft carrier strike group, only a few captains and political commissars knew Yuan Yi's background.
Such a top-tier special forces soldier, what does he need to do!
Although their Jiaolong Commando Team is very strong, it's hard to say what kind of situation they might encounter on the spot.
Having a super ace in the team would be even better!
After hearing what was said on the communicator, Yuan Yi had an expression that said, "See, I wasn't lying."
"Get on the computer."
Zhao Long waved to Yuan Yi and handed him another set of equipment.
This includes rifles, pistols, bulletproof vests, helmets, etc.
Yuan Yi put on the gear directly on the helicopter.
"Ha, Flying Dragon, you're here too!"
The members of the Jiaolong Commando Team had become extremely familiar with Yuan Yi over the past six months.
When they saw him arrive, they were initially surprised, but then they all greeted him.
After Zhao Long boarded, the helicopter took off immediately.
Of course, this time it wasn't just them with a helicopter.
In addition, a helicopter took off from each of the other three aircraft carriers.
They immediately headed towards the sea area where the incident occurred.
"Zhao Long, let's check the situation at the scene first."
"We can no longer contact the Zhanyun. If the ship has been hijacked, we should rescue the hostages immediately."
"If not, just drive the pirates away."
"Zhao Long received."
The distance between the aircraft carrier group and the Zhanyun is about 300 nautical miles, or more than 500 kilometers.
The helicopter they were in could reach a maximum speed of 300 kilometers per hour.
It will take them more than an hour to get there.
"Hopefully they can hold on until we get through this!"
Zhao Long said something.
Yuan Yi wasn't actually a member of the navy, so he didn't understand the meaning behind Zhao Long's words.
"What's the meaning?"
Upon hearing Yuan Yi's question, Chen Hui, the deputy captain of the Jiaolong Commando Team, spoke solemnly.
"Under normal circumstances, ships flying our national flag do not encounter pirates in this area."
"The hijacking of merchant ships happened about ten years ago; such incidents are rare now."
"But there is one possibility: those terrorist groups disguised as pirates."
"They don't just hijack property, they also kill hostages."
“Last year, one of our merchant ships was hijacked here. We paid a ransom, but all the crew members were still killed.”
"And neither the ships nor the goods have been redeemed!!"
"There were more than thirty people on that merchant ship, and they were all killed!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Yi clenched his fists.
"Was there no subsequent crackdown on them?"
Yuan Yi did not believe that the navy would remain indifferent to this.
"Why!"
"That's the worst part; they're not like ordinary pirates."
“They are a terrorist organization and do not have a fixed territory.”
"Moreover, they are hiding in another country's territory, where we have no law enforcement authority!"
