At this time, Xu Jianguo and Wang Fengshan and others were standing on the deck of the Qiongzhou ship, looking at the Parrot Kingdom submarine not far away.
The first two squads of soldiers to board the boat approached Lawrence and Martin the moment they saw them, and took away the pistols worn on their waists, and then quickly returned to their original positions.
Seeing people constantly climbing out of the submarine's hatch, Xu Jianguo and Wang Fengshan discussed it and then took several soldiers on board the small boat that had been waiting for a long time and headed towards the submarine.
As Xu Jianguo's guards, Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang naturally followed him closely. Soon, the boat stopped three or four meters away from the submarine.
Xu Jianguo looked at Lawrence and Martin, and they were also looking at Xu Jianguo.
Because the military uniforms of Longxia Kingdom had not yet been restored to the military rank system, they did not know who Xu Jianguo was. However, seeing the soldiers standing behind him with guns in their hands and alert faces, Lawrence and Martin also vaguely felt that the other party's identity might not be simple.
"Tell us your names, positions, countries you are from, and the purpose of your unauthorized entry into our territorial waters!" Xu Jianguo said expressionlessly while standing on the boat.
Lawrence and Martin looked at each other and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Originally, when they heard the familiar Lundun accent, they, as people from the Parrot Country, should have felt happy, but no one would have thought that such a standard accent actually came from a soldier from the Longxia Country.
After thinking for a moment, Lawrence spoke first, "My name is Lawrence. I'm from the Pacific Fleet of the Royal Navy of Parrot Country, and I'm the captain of the Aobolong-class submarine Explorer (fictitious). We're here to perform a routine patrol mission, but our submarine's navigation system malfunctioned and we mistakenly entered your territorial waters. We know the rules of your country, so we won't do anything out of line. Please help contact our country, and I'm sure they'll give you a satisfactory response."
As the instigator of the whole thing, Xu Jianguo quietly listened to Lawrence's serious nonsense.
After Lawrence finished speaking, Xu Jianguo didn't say anything. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a mocking expression, as if to say, "Do you think I believe it?"
Lawrence felt numb at the sight of Xu Jianguo. Just as he was about to explain, he found that the other party's eyes left him and looked at Martin who was standing next to him.
At this time, Martin had already cursed all of Lawrence's ancestors in his heart, and at the same time he hated this arrogant guy to the core.
But no matter how much they hated it, the current situation was obviously beyond their control, so when Xu Jianguo's eyes turned to him, Martin began to explain his identity, position and other information.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Jianguo stopped paying attention to them, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, and then he saw several more small boats coming towards this side from the three warships of Longxia Country.
Soon, dozens of well-trained Longxia soldiers quickly boarded the submarine, and then, amid the indignant looks on the faces of the Parrot sailors, entered the submarine and began to search.
About 40 minutes later, Xu Jianguo received a message from the walkie-talkie that the submarine was empty and all weapons and ammunition were intact.
It was not until this point that Wang Fengshan and others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he quickly reported the situation on the scene to the Central Naval Command via telegram.
Unexpectedly, he received a call back shortly after sending the telegram.
The content of the reply call clearly stated that about twenty minutes ago, two Michel-class destroyers left the Magnesium Naval Base in Feilubin. Their target sea area was predicted to be the sea area where the incident occurred. It was currently unclear whether there was a submarine following them.
Therefore, the Central Naval Command ordered Wang Fengshan to temporarily stop the unmanned underwater vehicle testing mission, immediately accept all prisoners of war and put them under guard, and tow the Parrot Navy's Aobolong-class submarine away from the incident area to meet up with other ships that were on their way to support.
After handing the submarine over to other ships that have arrived for support, they will continue with the unfinished test mission.
After Wang Fengshan conveyed the order from the Central Naval Command, the three warships suddenly became busy.
The soldiers moved quickly and orderly, like precise gears starting to turn.
On the Explorer of the Parrot Navy, the captured Parrot officers and soldiers were divided into several groups and escorted onto small boats by soldiers from the Longxia Kingdom.
Some of these Parrot Country officers and soldiers were filled with resentment and muttered words of protest, but under the cold gaze and threat of armed guns and live ammunition from the Longxia Country soldiers, they had no choice but to submit.
The soldiers carefully took them to a specially prepared detention area on the three warships, where safety precautions had been taken to ensure that there would be no accidental escape.
The special rope used to tow the submarine was firmly fixed to the key parts of the submarine with the concerted efforts of the soldiers.
All connections are tied with sailor's knots, and each knot is carefully checked to ensure that it will not loosen during towing.
This was an arduous task that required patience. Beads of sweat appeared on the soldiers' foreheads, but no one slacked off.
More than an hour passed, and only the two squads of soldiers who had boarded the submarine earlier remained on the Parrot Kingdom submarine. They remained at their posts, vigilantly observing the surrounding situation.
The other soldiers have returned to the warship to prepare for the next action.
After Xu Jianguo returned to the warship, he went straight to the storage place of the recovered Dolphin No. 1 unmanned submarine.
At this time, Deputy Director Zhao Huanbin was leading a group of engineers to carefully inspect the unmanned underwater vehicle. Their eyes were focused and serious, and they did not miss any details.
The equipment compartment of the submarine had been opened. After learning that there were no problems with the internal wiring and sensors, Xu Jianguo left with peace of mind and went to the bridge.
On the bridge, the captain, Wang Fengshan, Zhu Dejun and the deputy captain were directing the work intensively.
Various instructions and reports were intertwined, and the whole scene was tense and orderly.
Xu Jianguo did not disturb them. He simply greeted everyone and led Zhao Changshan and Liu Yang back to the cabin.
