Chapter 873: More and more bizarre developments
Not only had the high-frequency communication channel become a battlefield for cursing, but they had the good sense to ditch the distress channel. But no matter which other channel you switched to, it was filled with swear words. Even though Xiao Peng was fluent in English, many of the words were new to him: and they were definitely not good words!
And it's mixed with Irish, which makes it even more difficult for others to understand.
English is a West Germanic language, and Irish is a Celtic language. These are two very different languages. I don’t know if they can understand each other. Anyway, Xiao Peng is now confused.
"Boss, what should we do?" Chen Cheng asked.
Xiao Peng asked back, "Who should I ask if you ask me? This is the first time I've encountered something like this in my life."
Hua Chong asked from the side: "The 'Calypso' asked if we want to take the Atlantic route. Boss, we can't waste time here!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng said, "Why waste time? Let's indulge their bad habits! Let's go through the Irish Sea! I'll see who dares to stop us!"
Hua Chong asked worriedly, "Boss, can they use the ownership of the Luna as an excuse to investigate us?"
The Luna was Ahmedov's asset, but due to a divorce lawsuit, the UK froze his assets. Although the ship now belonged to Xiao Peng, his actions had undermined the UK's influence. Although he had helped the UK uncover a terrorist attack, this incident still left them feeling embarrassed. Furthermore, the German salvage of the sunken British ship had further embarrassment. If they decided to punish Xiao Peng this time, as Xiao Peng had said, they had no right to inspect him in the Irish Sea. However, if they really used the Luna's ownership as Hua Chong suggested, it would be quite troublesome.
"Hmm..." Xiao Peng frowned after hearing this: "Hua Chong, let Ma Xiao wait for a moment, I will think about it."
Hua Chong's warning was indeed correct. If the British really took action in this regard, it would be very troublesome. We really can't expect them to have any dignity in this matter - if they really wanted to have dignity, would they directly freeze all the assets of a billionaire for a divorce lawsuit?
Take a detour?
He had just acquired the ship and hadn't had enough fun yet. He was going to sue the British over it. It would be a waste of time and money. The ship wasn't expensive to him, so if he didn't want it, that was fine. But if the British actually towed the ship, that would be too embarrassing!
People should not be arrogant when they are young. If people are arrogant, they will lie down for half a year. Well, after all, this is someone else's territory, so it is better not to be too arrogant!
Xiao Peng was just about to tell Chen Cheng to tell the Calypso to sail around the Atlantic when Hua Chong, who was wearing headphones, suddenly spoke up: "Boss, someone wants to get on board."
"Who is it?" Xiao Peng said angrily, "What are the British going to do? I haven't even entered the Irish Sea yet!"
Hua Chong said: "He is not British, but Irish. He claims to be Andrew Keen, the commander of the Irish Navy's 'Eisner'."
"WHAT?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "Why are the Irish joining in the fun again? Wait! You mean the 'Eisner'? The largest ship in the Irish Navy?"
Hua Chong nodded. "That's what the communication said anyway. Andrew Keane is on the helicopter right now and has submitted his application to board the ship."
Xiao Peng was completely confused: "What the hell is this? What are the Irish going to do?"
Of course, Ireland had a navy, but… only ten ships, two of which were supply vessels. They were small, tiny vessels. Their navy's greatest pride was the P-31 Eisner, hull number P-31. It was about the same length as the Calypso and considerably shorter than the Luna, measuring only eighty meters, displacing less than two thousand tons and boasting a maximum speed of just twenty knots. Honestly, even at full speed, the Calypso couldn't catch up, let alone the Luna.
After all, this ship has a lot of history. It is an "old guy" that was put into service in 1984. When the ship was launched, the whole of Ireland celebrated and even planned to build another one. As a result...
The shipyard closed down!
In the 2014s, they did build a more advanced patrol boat, but it has not yet been put into use, so they still have to rely on this "old guy" to support half of their navy.
But the Irish naval base is in Cork in the southwest of the country, and here? It's northeast of Northern Ireland. How did the commander of this ship end up here?
"Boss, the helicopter pilot said they are not British, and Andrew Keane came with the friendship between the two countries. These are the original words, the word they used is 'British'!" Hua Chong said.
Xiao Peng was scratching his head. "What do you think about this?"
Hua Chong said, "Boss, please don't make things difficult for us. You've been abroad for so many years and still can't figure this out. How can you expect us to see this?"
Chen Cheng said, "Boss, they submitted their boarding application according to the formal procedures. They are quite polite."
Xiao Peng curled his lips and said, "I'm worried about the level of their pilots. Okay, let's put it this way: ask them what kind of helicopter they are."
"It's SA365." Hua Chong said.
"'Dolphin', let it land on the front helicopter platform. How long will they take to arrive?" Xiao Peng asked.
This 'Luna' has two helicopter platforms. The front helicopter platform has a better view and is less difficult to land on.
"Fifteen minutes!" Hua Chong replied.
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "Alright, Chen Cheng, tell Ma Xiao to wait here for a while and see what's going on. Hua Chong, keep an eye on the helicopter when it lands. Don't let it crash into our boat!"
"Okay!" Hua Chong said.
Xiao Peng turned around and walked out.
"Boss, where are you going?" Hua Chong asked.
"Sunbathing!" Xiao Peng said helplessly, "This is so boring! Whoever said being at sea was a good job, I'll fight him!"
Hua Chong smiled and said, "Boss, be content. Our working environment now is almost like heaven! Do you know what our lives were like at sea before we met you?"
Xiao Peng covered his ears: "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen..."
Then he ran out in a flash.
Hua Chong was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "Old Chen, I believe you now. Our captain is indeed a young man. Look at his network at his age, and the kind of people who came to him! But don't you think this foreigner is too casual! The commander just abandoned the ship and ran over here?"
Chen Cheng said, "Dude, can you use your brain? Why would he come here with a warship if he didn't come here himself? If there's something going on, can't he just come and talk to him? Why do you think the Irish warship came all the way here? Is it to escort us?"
