Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 738
"Sir, the radar found a direction of 0-7-2, a distance of 45 nautical miles, there is a large ship, we called, but no one answered."

Pratt, the captain of the Farragut, said calmly: "It should be a large cargo ship."

Pratt's self-confidence is not unreasonable, because in this plane, the former European powers and Japan have been defeated, and there is no second navy in this world other than the American Empire that has more than [-] tons of warships up.

"Don't worry about anything else, you must stop that fishing boat. According to CIA intelligence, Xinming Jinyiwei obtained a batch of very new second-hand industrial equipment through channels in Southeast Asia. This is not in the interests of the United States. We must resolutely reject it." Intercept."

Colonel Platt, who has a lofty patriotic spirit, hates Xinming, which has just been established for less than a year.There used to be the pro-American Cathay Republic on the land of East Asia. American businessmen could do business in this country without hindrance, and even the customs were controlled by American special agents.At that time, although China was chaotic domestically, making people feel ignorant and backward, it was a loyal ally of the United States.

But now, Cathay was overthrown by a group of mud legs in just five years. This damn new country actually bombarded the American warships that declared their strength in the Yangtze River, and expelled American immigrants and businessmen on a large scale, and even The factories and properties of the Americans were taken away, claiming that all wealth and rights belong to the people.

A picture of Ming people pouring red paint on the poster of His Majesty Oliver Washington, the Great Emperor of the United States, and even writing words such as "fool" and "executioner" on it has been circulated in the United States recently, and they love their image. The Americans of the Great Emperor were excited about this, and they all declared that they would punish these damned Ming people.

However, the American imperial military is not completely innocent.Although this ancient oriental country has suffered great humiliation in the past 60 years, its population is close to 5 million, far more than the American Empire with a population of only 1.8 million.Among the 1.8 million people, there are still 8000 million people in the newly occupied European countries.

Through the Anti-Japanese War and the Civil War, Xinming also had a tenacious army of millions of people.Although they don't have many advanced weapons and equipment, considering that the American Empire has just ended a world war, more than 200 million soldiers were killed or injured.It would undoubtedly be very unwise to hastily involve another major war on land.

But this did not prevent the American Empire from regarding Xinming, an Eastern country, as its imaginary enemy and imposing a heavy blockade on it.

Platt fully understands the role of industrialization. If a country with a population of [-] million or more completes industrialization, it will be a disaster for the American Empire.

The three destroyers quickly chased the fishing boat with a small tonnage. The destroyers of the U.S. Royal Navy all sailed at 32 knots, but the small fishing boat in front was able to sail at a speed of more than 30 knots. It's okay to believe no one.

"Sir, the large ship is still approaching us."

Pratt frowned: "She doesn't have radar, and it's not surprising that she's heading in our direction."

"No, this place shouldn't be on the route. Which force does this ship belong to?"

The XO (Executive Officer, equivalent to the deputy captain) on the ship asked: "Could it be a warship of the Ming Dynasty Navy?"

Pratt said loudly: "How is this possible? Does Xinming have a navy? Are you kidding me?"

The executive said: "But the ship is sailing at a speed of more than 30 knots, so the possibility of it being a civilian ship is very low."

Captain Pratt shook his head: "Isn't the fishing boat we're tracking at a speed of more than [-] knots? Who knows what these Asians are doing."

The CEO didn't speak any more, but he felt very uneasy in his heart.What was shown on the radar was a very large ship. They didn't know how big it was, but it was definitely more than [-] tons.And to propel a ship of tens of thousands of tons to sail quickly, few countries in the world have such technical strength.

Pratt is an exceptionally good-looking and cautious person. He will not ask the fleet for support until he sees what the ship is.

……

On the fishing boat at sea, the crew members were very anxious.

"Lieutenant Colonel Luo, we are about to be overtaken by those Americans!" The captain was sweating profusely.

Luo Wenqiang said: "Quicker, faster."

The captain was helpless: "It's useless to go faster, Lieutenant Colonel Luo. We are at least 300 nautical miles away from the coastline. Let alone 12 nautical miles, even if it is [-] nautical miles, these Yankee ships are swaggering in our territorial waters." We have no way to transport this batch of equipment back to China.”

"No, this batch of equipment is very important to us!" Luo Wenqiang was extremely stubborn.He deeply knew that during the 50-year rule of the Cathay Republic, a large number of compradors were born throughout China. They purchased various commodities from the United States, Japan and other countries, and suppressed the development of their own national industries.So a huge country, because of the lack of industry, was beaten by the small Japanese country.After Xinming was established, it realized that there was something wrong with it, and desperately obtained industrial equipment and technology from various channels. Countless engineering technicians and scientific personnel who were overseas returned to China in order to completely change the country's accumulated poverty. A weak state allows this country and nation to stand proudly in the world.

This time, Jin Yiwei took a lot of effort to get the equipment from Southeast Asia, disguised as a fishing boat to get the goods, and even went around a big circle to avoid the capture of the Royal Navy of the United States. Unexpectedly, they were still stopped by the Americans.

"Fifteen comrades died because of this batch of equipment. We cannot be sorry for their sacrifice!"

The captain shook his head and sighed: "If it is my life, I am absolutely willing to change it. But now we have no choice, the American destroyer will sink us, and we will take nothing back. Now, unless there is a miracle, Otherwise, we are doomed to fail in this operation.”

Luo Wenqiang knew that what the captain said was true, but he was still unwilling in his heart.

Finally, the small fishing boat was overtaken by three destroyers, and despair was written all over Lieutenant Colonel Luo's face.A large number of shells hit them.Shells continued to hit their boats, and some people panicked and jumped into the sea holding life buoys, hoping to get out of this dead place.And Luo Wenqiang held onto the side of the boat tightly, unable to take the equipment back, and he felt that there was no need to return home alive.

"Then... what is that?"

The captain suddenly pointed to the distance. On the other side of the sea level, a huge black shadow loomed faintly.
