Spring Breeze 1991

Five members with combat experience and service in the amphibious force were selected, with two additional members in reserve.

Although Yao Yuan hasn't said what it is yet.

Just when Yao Yuan was about to speak, Lin Xiaohu suddenly said, "A Yuan, I'll take care of this matter, you go busy with your own affairs."

Yao Yuan was about to refuse, but Lin Xiaohu slowly but firmly shook his head and said, "You concentrate on other things, and leave these to us."

From Lin Xiaohu's face, Yao Yuan saw determination, and when he looked at other people, they all had the same expression, Yao Yuan didn't insist anymore.

He looked around, nodded slowly, got up and returned to the study without saying anything.Leave space and time to Lin Xiaohu and others.

Lin Xiaohu said to Chen Chao, "Chao, you stay and bring the other brothers to follow the boss, the five you choose will follow me, and the spare ones don't need to go."

"Brother Hu, let me lead the team, I am more familiar than you." Super Chen said.

Lin Xiaohu shook his head slightly, "Stop talking, protect the boss."

He got up and walked out, and the five selected people followed closely.

When Yao Yuan asked Lin Xiaohu to get the Neptune's crew list information, Lin Xiaohu knew what Yao Yuan was going to do. If he needed to use the concierge staff, Lin Xiaohu knew exactly what he was going to do.

The two have worked together for so many years. It can be said that Lin Xiaohu understands Yao Yuan's thinking and style best when it comes to work, even better than Lin Wei.

A tacit understanding has already been developed. When encountering such an emergency, with Yao Yuan's character, what will he do? In fact, he only needs to show one action, and Lin Xiaohu will know what to do next.

He insisted on being responsible for the specifics, so that Yao Yuan would be in a position where he could retreat, because Yao Yuan represented hundreds of thousands of employees of Chunfeng Group, and Yao Yuan's safety was related to the survival of hundreds of thousands of employees of Chunfeng Group.

This is also the reason why Yao Yuan did not insist on continuing to take charge personally.

Lin Xiaohu and his party of six drove to the port and found a rental house at the port. From now on, their actions are personal actions, if exposed.

"The target is Neptune. It is currently on the sea 50 kilometers northeast of Dubai Harbour. Do a good job of reconnaissance today and tomorrow, and try to carry out the operation in three days." In the rental house, Lin Xiaohu said in a deep voice to a map , the pencil spends a dot on the approximate position above.

Immediately, some team members said, "Brother Hu, I have been working in the army for five years. Let me take command. You don't need to go to sea."

The other team members echoed, "Brother Hu, you can rest assured that you leave it to us."

Lin Xiaohu didn't insist on taking part in the action. He was self-aware, and it was his role to provide support for them as a logistics officer.

They are all very experienced veterans. With Lin Xiaohu's order, the five people were divided into three groups to act separately. The team member in charge stayed in the rental house and Lin Xiaohu took control of the whole process. The other two groups split up with two people in each group. go get ready.

It is impossible to achieve absolute concealment by using US dollars to clear the way. We can only do everything possible to prolong the exposure time without leaving evidence.

The efficiency was higher than Lin Xiaohu expected. At noon of the next day, the reconnaissance preparations were completed. In the afternoon, a small fast yacht set sail from Dubai Harbor, no different from other yachts going out to sea.

The owner of this small fast yacht is a European company registered in France, but it is leased to a British travel company. It is a joint venture of a local company, and the shareholders have the background of the UAE royal family, so the ownership relationship is very complicated.

It is stated in the registry of the yacht rental company that five young Chinese-American men rented them for sea fishing. They chose self-driving, no crew or waiters, and they brought several sets of very complete fishing tackle on board. anything suspicious.

If the Interpol wanted to investigate, they would definitely find that the five identities were all real, and they could all find specific personal information in the relevant departments of the United States.

Before nightfall, the fast yacht appeared in the sea area where the Sea King was located.

Today's situation is not much different from the previous few days. Two US destroyers stopped in front of the Sea King, one on the left and one on the right. Most of the UAE Navy's ships are civilian ships, and almost all of them are journalists with a keen sense of smell.

Under such circumstances, the fast yacht slowly approaching the Neptune will not arouse suspicion. You may think that this is another major international news agency that has rented a ship to keep an eye on the latest developments...

After staying near the Neptune for more than ten hours, when the sun was just right on the third morning, the fast yacht left here in full view and headed back to Dubai Harbour.

However, the speedy yacht did not return to Dubai Harbor, but stopped more than ten kilometers away, acting like a tourist fishing in the night sea.

After nightfall, the fast yacht slowly moved towards the Neptune. It seemed that a group of tourists with money and no place to spend were constantly changing their fishing positions.

The duty officer of the US warship did not become suspicious.

In the middle of the night, the fast yacht had once again returned to the periphery of the Neptune, only three kilometers away.In the next hour, the fast yacht seemed to drift with the current and came within a kilometer of the Neptune, exactly in the direction of the Neptune's tail.

The entire sea was very quiet, and the fast yacht with a displacement of only tens of tons was not easy to be noticed. It slowly advanced more than 500 meters towards the tail of the Sea King, and then drifted with the waves.

At 3:05 in the morning, this time is the time when people are sleepiest or sleep soundly.

Many people on board were awakened in their sleep by a loud explosion, and the huge shock wave shattered the windshields of the nearest boats.

Everyone got up and ran out of the deck to look around. They were shocked to see that the entire stern of the Neptune was broken. As the water entered, the bow slowly tilted up, and the fuel tank was ignited, and the fire quickly burned out of the deck. , The ship building suddenly fell into the fire.

Some ships blew their whistles and quickly responded to try to rescue the more than 30 crew members on the Neptune.

The journalists, on the other hand, used the cameras and video cameras in their hands to take photos of the scene at a rate of more than a dozen photos per second, and some of them were even more well-equipped, and directly set up antennas to transmit the scene back in real time...

The fast yacht disappeared at some point.

Just 5 minutes later, some major international news agencies that had been prepared for a long time started a global live broadcast, truly real-time first-hand news, and the interview team of Agence France-Presse grabbed this honor.They had invited experts to analyze it before, and believed that the seizure of the Neptune in disguise may be related to the current changes in international oil prices.

Because a month ago, several major oil companies in the West united to put pressure on the Shikotan Oilfield, hoping that the Shikotan Oilfield would increase or decrease production in accordance with the plan of the Petroleum Alliance.

In fact, they hope to bring Dongfang Petroleum into their camp and guarantee to keep pace with them in the future.

Dongfang Petroleum explicitly refused.

Agence France-Presse believes that the seizure of the Neptune in disguise is an action by the Western Petroleum Alliance against Dongfang Petroleum, because the Neptune is carrying raw materials urgently needed for the construction of the Shikotan Oilfield, and it is not an embargoed weapon at all.

Sure enough, Westerners understand Westerners, and Agence France-Presse knows that these oil giants can do anything.

However, his analysis was in the wrong direction. Dongfang Petroleum is a Chinese oil company, and it will neither follow the pace of OPEC nor join the Western Petroleum Alliance. Instead, it will follow its own independent production increase and decrease plan.

When to increase production and when to reduce production, Dongfang Petroleum's principle is to depend on market conditions and the company's own development, and will not be influenced by political factors.

Of course, no one would believe such an official article.

What the Western Petroleum Alliance fears is that Dongfang Petroleum's strong oil production regulation will influence it. If the production of Shikotan Oilfield is released, the international oil price will definitely fall to a price of less than 20 US dollars, because the potential of Shikotan Oilfield is really too great.

Conversely, if the Shikotan Oilfield significantly reduces its production capacity, the international oil price will quickly rise to more than 30 US dollars, or even higher.

This ability is in the hands of a Chinese oil company, which makes the Western Petroleum Alliance feel uncomfortable.

Just like Mr. Zhao's line in a certain TV series, you can use it after changing it - the earth does not allow such a powerful Huaxia Petroleum Company to exist, absolutely not.

From this point of view, Agence France-Presse's analysis actually makes some sense.

At this time, the interview team of Agence France-Presse was very excited. They thought that it would be a great contribution to get the results of the Neptune incident in the first place, but they did not expect to encounter such a sudden incident.

The reporter in charge discovered that two U.S. warships were retreating in an emergency, while two civilian ships were quickly approaching the Neptune to rescue the crew on board.

He immediately asked a photographer to take pictures of the process, and said excitedly, "This is the Americans! This is the Americans! I even suspect that the explosion of the Neptune was done by them! Except for them, who has the ability to blow up [-] people in one explosion?" The stern of the Neptune blown off?"

The photographer just connected to the live broadcast, and the words of the reporter in charge spread out immediately!

The retreat of the U.S. warship seems to confirm the words of the AFP reporter. This time, the mud fell off the crotch, and it was either shit or shit.

The Sea King struggled until dawn and finally sank slowly.

The reporters at the scene saw with their own eyes that the cargo carried by the Neptune was construction machinery and construction materials, not embargoed weapons.The case of the International Arms Embargo Panel no longer holds water.

These seem to be unimportant, because when the Neptune began to sink, the main media around the world were discussing and analyzing the emergency, and soon formed a mainstream analysis result-the US warship launched a torpedo and hit the Neptune. At the tail, the fuel oil on the ship was ignited, which led to a large fire. After burning for more than two hours, the hull structure of the Neptune was severely damaged, and then sank.

Some international military experts analyzed that judging from the explosion on the scene, it was only caused by powerful ammunition, such as torpedoes, anti-ship missiles, and even naval guns could not cause such huge damage.

Military experts said convincingly that there is no missile fire now, and the two US warships were very close to the Neptune at that time, so the possibility of using anti-ship missiles can be ruled out, so the only option is torpedoes, and torpedoes The power is in line with the situation of the explosion at the scene.

All of a sudden, the U.S. Navy and the international embargo team were thrown into the center of public opinion, and the media all over the world condemned the vicious incident of the U.S. Navy’s brazen attack on a Norwegian cargo ship, causing huge loss of life and property.

The Norwegian government felt tremendous pressure. The Norwegian Prime Minister urgently summoned the US ambassador and lodged a strong protest against the incident, demanding that the US government thoroughly investigate the matter and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Norway's pillar industry is the petroleum industry, the second is the shipping industry, the third is the offshore fishery, and the fourth is the shipbuilding industry, all of which are closely related to ships.

If the Norwegian government turns a blind eye or does not express its position, then all Norwegian ships will die, and the entire Norwegian economy will be hit.

If this is the case, given the behavior of the Norwegian government, the prime minister would not dare to talk to the US ambassador like this, but more than half of the heads of oil companies in Norway issued a statement almost at the same time asking the Norwegian government to find out the truth.

……

The Norwegian government's statement, the public opinion of the world's mainstream media, and the attitude of major oil companies, for these, Yao Yuan spent more than 2 million US dollars.

And as the UAE government officially stated its position, asking the United States to give an explanation, it completely pushed the United States to the corner where everyone shouted.

However, Americans don't care because they have the hardest fists.

But for Yao Yuan, this result is already the best that can be achieved.

External analysis will not have a great impact on the parties, and the parties are well aware that this is a bitter trick of Dongfang Petroleum, and this bitter trick hits the seven inches of the Americans, regardless of whether they are private equity funds on Wall Street Or some other institution.

At the same time, they also saw Yao Yuan's determination - they would rather sink the ship than allow you to board the ship illegally for inspection!

Of course the Americans have to prove their innocence, but that will be a matter for the future, and the wreckage must be salvaged before a detailed investigation can be carried out.

The most important thing is that all those who are against Yao Yuan and those who are going to be against Yao Yuan have such a strong feeling that this Chinese person is so ruthless that he will fight himself, and his determination must not be underestimated in the future.

Yao Yuan will not stop there. He will recover the losses caused by the sinking of the Sea King from the Americans, dozens of times and hundreds of times.

A few days later, Su Jianmin was still in shock. He couldn't imagine that Yao Yuan would use such a method to solve the crisis. Such a method can be said to kill eight hundred enemies and harm one thousand, especially after the Asian financial crisis has already occurred. when the mouth.

However, if this method is not used, he can't think of a better method than this method...

Involuntarily, Su Jianmin thought of Yao Yuan's words - Only when the motherland has a strong navy can those of us who do business overseas have confidence and not be bullied.

Yes, if there are warships of your own country in the Persian Gulf, will the Neptune, which carries the cargo of Dongfang oil, have such an encounter?
