Therefore, by bribing officials of the Saudi Navy, he successfully boarded the Saudi Navy's Medina-class frigate Ai Buha and became a reporter reporting on the spot. The situation along the Strait of Hormuz has attracted the attention of many British people.
You know, the British spend at least half an hour reading newspapers every day!His news made the British pay attention to the Strait of Hormuz again, and also greatly increased the sales of The Times. Therefore, Bill was rewarded by the boss.
However, following Bill's success, several other major Japanese newspapers, even newspapers in France, Germany and other countries, also came to grab the news. They walked behind Bill, but they were not as successful as Bill. Only a few people had the opportunity Most of the ships boarding the escort formation can only follow the incoming and outgoing oil tankers to report.
However, the absence of high-value news in the past few days has already made Bill a little dissatisfied. News is to always find new things, so as to attract readers.
Bill looked at the surrounding sea water. The escort formation completed its mission again. After leaving the Strait of Hormuz, the warship's anti-aircraft surveillance radar was still turning, and the minesweepers in front were also clearing more mines. However, this had already Can't arouse his interest anymore.
Suddenly, he saw the aft deck of the frigate, where people began to move.
The Aerospace SA365F "Dolphin" 2 helicopter is preparing for takeoff.
Are the Iranians making another big move?Bill had a thought, if he could keep up with the helicopter, he might have a bigger harvest this time!Think about it, if the scene of the Iranian speedboat attacking the escort formation could be photographed in the sky, how spectacular it would be!Although the Iranians have not seen a large-scale speedboat attack for a long time.Sometimes it's just a few speedboats, and they will kill them immediately.
Just as he was thinking, he saw a naval officer passing by in a hurry. He was the deputy captain of the ship. He was able to board the ship because he bribed this person with a large sum of money.
"Dear Lahe, do we have field missions now?" Bill knew that it was not good to ask like this, but if he wanted to get useful information, he needed a thick skin.
At most, the other party would keep a stern face, telling himself military secrets, and nothing more to say.
The other party was very anxious and said: "There is a cargo ship in distress forty nautical miles away from us. We are going to rescue it now."
Danger at sea?This is a new hot spot!And, not yet a military operation, Bill asked, "Can I join the rescue?"
As he spoke, he made a gesture: "Before I entered the press, I was always a search and rescue officer of the British Maritime Search and Rescue Squadron."
At this moment, a first officer ran to the deputy captain and said, "Report, our helicopter can take off within 2 minutes, but our helicopter is an anti-ship helicopter. Although it is also equipped with a winch, it does not Skilled search and rescue personnel, if the other party falls into the water, we still cannot rescue him."
Here's your chance!Bill said: "It is the duty of every British citizen to rescue our compatriots in distress at sea. Mr. Captain, please agree with me! I will definitely rescue them safely."
Rah thought for a while and nodded in agreement.
Bill was so excited at the moment, he wished he could hug this cute bearded Saudi officer and kiss him hard.
Bill ran to the back cabin along the corridor next to the warship. He still held his camera tightly in his hand. This time, it would definitely be another explosive news, and he was ahead of so many colleagues. , what a lucky thing!
The Dolphin Helicopter was ready to take off, and after picking up Bill, it started to take off.
Bill looked at the two pilots taking off in the front cabin, and took his first photo. His report started from here!
"Our mission this time is to rescue an American freighter McCain that hit a mine. It is very close to us, so our ship will arrive soon. What we need to do now is to do our best Rescue the crew who may fall into the water, the situation there is unknown now, we have to be prepared." In the back cabin, the person in charge of the rescue, that is, the commander of the operation, Hades, who turned into a Saudi rescue worker, said.
After the submarine completed the attack, the Iraqi Navy's Super Hornet helicopter in the distance used the sea search radar to find that the ship had stopped advancing, which proved that it had lost power. Therefore, the formation was immediately notified and waited in the formation. Major General Talal immediately ordered the helicopter to set off, but in order to avoid possible dangers, for example, there may be Israeli armed personnel on the other side's ship, and they may be in danger during the boarding process, so , the newly established Marine Corps in Iraq took over the mission, and their four most elite fighters took on the first batch of "rescue" missions. Moreover, during the final operation, Major General Talal suddenly Thinking of the British reporter on the warship who paid a high price, and thought of this method, let him witness that moment.That's why there was the scene where the deputy captain met him by chance.
And in the first wave, that is, during the rush of the helicopters of the two Medina-class frigates, the entire formation is also advancing rapidly. At the same time, the two salvage ships that have been on standby in Oman are also rushing quickly. Once the ship is really sunk, then it must be salvaged friendly, because the other party will block the channel!
Bill looked at the people around. They didn't seem to be going to rescue at all, but more like going to war. They were almost fully armed, and rescue didn't need to carry so many weapons. They were so unprofessional!It seems that in terms of sea rescue, I can be their teacher.
"This is a very meaningful rescue, everyone, can I take a photo for you?" Bill asked with a smile.
"No, and, if you are not allowed to take a picture, you can't take a picture." Hades said coldly.
Are all Saudis so hard to speak?
Bill felt very depressed. However, as a reporter, he quickly adjusted his mentality. After a while, it still depends on his own performance.In his mind, Bill recalled the actions of rescue at sea.
Soon, the helicopter flew to the sea area where the accident occurred.
Seen from the sky, the cargo ship had indeed had a major accident. The stern of the ship had already started to sink. This mine was blown up so badly that even the deck at the stern was flooded with sea water. If there were no ships to rescue If not, the ship will probably sink soon.
Bill looked down, and saw that the crew members were running to save the boat, and none of them fell into the water, so the set of actions he used to save the drowning person could not be used at all.
"It seems that it's time for us to go up and help," Hades said.
Hearing the roar of the helicopter in the sky, Captain Green raised his head and saw that the helicopter was the symbol of the Saudi Navy, he felt nervous immediately.
How did they come so fast?He never sent out a distress signal at all!
He suddenly had an ominous premonition. If it was the U.S. Navy who came, he would be sure to use the Jewish forces in the country to let them cover up this matter. However, it was a Saudi helicopter. The secrets on the ship are likely to be exposed!
"I'll go down first." Hearing that he was going to go down to the boat, Bill suddenly became interested. He got down on the boat and took pictures by himself, so they can't care about it, right?Rescue the ship in distress, and take a few more photos like this, it is very shocking. On the tilted ship, the crew members are struggling to rescue, drain the sea water, and resume sailing. The sun against the west at this time will be a beautiful scene. A magnificent sight.
You go down first?Hades gave him an encouraging look, "Okay, then let you go down first!"
The hatch of the engine room was opened, and Bill skillfully put the winch noose on his buttocks, and then, braving the whistling wind above his head, he walked out of the engine room, holding the cable with one hand, and doing a skillful maneuver with the other. Gestures, just, don't know if they're familiar.
In the original time, every time this kind of rescue drill was carried out, Bill would feel that there was something sent by God to save those creatures.
His camera was still hanging on his waist.
"Captain, there are people coming down from above." A Jewish crew member said to Green.
Of course, Green also saw it. At this time, all their crew members stopped their movements, waiting for the captain's order.
If Green ordered to open the bilge to release water at this time, the ship could sink quickly and sink to the bottom of the sea, more or less temporarily keeping the secret.Of course, this is only his least willing idea, and it is also the most effective way.
However, Green did not give the order, because he saw that it was not an Arab who got off that helicopter, but a European!
Where did that guy come from?
Green hesitated, and he lost his last chance.
"Hey, brothers, I'm here to rescue you!" Bill dropped his feet on the slightly sloping deck and shouted to the sailors who were watching him.
This is an American ship, the people on board are Americans, and Bill is British, so Bill is very happy to see the person he rescued.
He didn't know that when he landed just now, a few more ropes hung down behind him.
Bill's greatest use is not to expose the matter as a reporter. For Hades, his use is to attract the attention of the other party.
Chapter 5 and One Die together!
Since Bill came down first, Green was temporarily confused. Where did the European come from?Are they really here to rescue their own ships?
Moreover, the person who just came down said to them in proficient English: "Friends, you seem to be in trouble, and we are here to help you." Authentic British English, it seems that he is an Englishman.
The British, how could they be on the helicopter of the Saudi Navy?Are they here to help themselves?
But then, they saw that several ropes were suddenly released from the helicopter.
"Let's go down." Hades said, first grasping a rope skillfully, the machine descended.
In this way, they are very fast compared to the slow rescue winches and cables.
Bill just now was just showing off. For the elite marines, how could that kind of equipment be used? However, the winches used by rescuers are also used for rescuers to ascend, and the tasks of the two are different.
After seeing a few more ropes coming down from the helicopter, Green suddenly realized that the purpose of these people was very suspicious!I'm afraid it's not as simple as coming to save them!
