Chapter 500: Go to the rescue

Bill is a reporter from the Times in the UK. Half a month ago, he boarded a plane to Saudi Arabia to report close news about the Strait of Hormuz, which touched all the economic pulses of the world.

Unfortunately, when he arrived, the Peninsula Defense Forces had completely solved the problem with the help of the Iraqi Navy, and the shipping had resumed, and he lost the news value of the report...

Bill was unwilling to give up. If he wanted to become a strong man in the press, he needed to report some news that others didn’t know!

So, by bribing Saudi Navy officials, he successfully boarded the Saudi Navy's Medina frigate, Aibuha, and became a reporter for on-site reporting. He was deeply inspired by the shooting of a series of situations along the Strait of Hormuz, which attracted the attention of many British people.

You know, the British read newspapers for at least half an hour every day! His news made the British pay attention to the Strait of Hormuz again and also increased the sales of the Times. Therefore, Bill was commended by his boss.

However, with Bill's success, several other major daily newspapers, even newspapers from France, Germany and other countries, came to grab the news. They walked behind Bill, but they were not as successful as Bill. There were only a few people who had the opportunity to board the ships in the escort formation, and most of them could only follow the in and out tankers to report.

However, there has been no high-value news in recent days, which has made Bill a little dissatisfied. News means that it is necessary to always dig out new things so that it can attract readers.

Bill looked at the surrounding sea water, and the escort formation completed the mission again. After leaving the Strait of Hormuz, the warship's air-to-air alert radar was still rotating, and the minesweeper in front was also clearing more mines, but this could no longer arouse his interest.

Suddenly, he saw the deck at the tail of the frigate and began to move people.

The French Aerospace SA365f "Dolphin" 2 helicopter is preparing for takeoff.

Did the Iranians make big moves again? Bill thought. If he could keep up with the helicopter, he would probably have gained even more this time! Think about it, how spectacular it would be if he could take pictures of the Iranian speedboat attacks and escort formations in the sky! Although the large-scale speedboat attacks of the Iranians have not appeared for a long time. Sometimes just a few speedboats will be killed by them immediately.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a naval officer passing by, who was the deputy captain of the ship. He was able to get on the ship because he bribed this man a lot.

"Dear Rah, do we have battlefield missions now?" Bill knew that it was not good to ask this. However, if you want to get useful information, you need a very thick-skinned face.

At most, the other party is just a stern face and telling yourself the military secrets, and there is nothing to tell.

The other party was very anxious and said, "There is a cargo ship that is in danger forty nautical miles away from us. We are now going to rescue."

It's dangerous at sea? This is a new hot spot! And, not a military operation, Bill asked: "Can I participate in the rescue together?"

As he said that, he gestured: "I was a searcher in the British maritime search and rescue squadron before I entered the press."

At this moment, a senior mate ran to the deputy captain and said, "Report that our helicopter can take off within two minutes, but our helicopter is an anti-ship helicopter. Although it is also equipped with a winch, there are no skilled search and rescue personnel. If the other party falls into the water, we still cannot rescue it."

The opportunity is here! Bill said: "It is the obligation of every British citizen to rescue his compatriots in distress at sea. Sir, please agree to me! I will definitely rescue them safely."

Rah thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

Bill was in an excited moment. He wanted to hug the cute bearded Saudi officer and kiss him fiercely.

Bill ran to the back cabin along the corridor next to the warship. He was holding his camera tightly in his hand. This time, it would be another explosive news. What a lucky thing he would be to be in front of so many colleagues!

The dolphin helicopter was ready to set off, and after picking up Bill, it started taking off.

Bill looked at the two pilots who were flying in the front cabin and took the first photo of himself. His report started here!

"Our mission this time is to rescue a US freighter McCain, which is very close to us, so our ship will arrive soon. What we need to do now is to try our best to rescue the crew who may fall into the water. The situation there is now unknown, and we must be prepared." Hades, who is responsible for the rescue, who is the command of this operation, said in the rear cabin.

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 moving forward and proved that it had lost its power. Therefore, the formation was immediately informed. Major General Talar, who was waiting in the formation, immediately ordered the helicopter to set off. However, in order to avoid possible dangers, for example, there may be Israeli armed personnel on the other side's ship, and they may encounter dangers during the boarding process. Therefore, the newly established Marine Corps in Iraq took over the mission, and their four most elite soldiers were responsible for the first batch of "rescue" missions. Moreover, during the final operation, Major General Talar suddenly thought of the British reporter on the warship who bought it at a high price, and thought of this method to let him witness that moment. Therefore, the scene of the deputy captain meeting him by chance.

In the first wave, that is, the helicopters of two Medina-class frigates rushed, the entire formation was also moving forward quickly. At the same time, the two salvage ships that had been on standby in Oman were also coming quickly. If the ship was really sunk, then it was necessary to salvage it in a friendly manner, because the other side would block the waterway!

Bill looked at the people around him and they didn't seem to be going to rescue, but they were more like going to fight. They were almost fully armed, and the rescue did not require so many weapons at all. They were really unprofessional! It seems that in terms of sea rescue, they can be their teacher.

"This is a very meaningful rescue. Everyone, can I take a photo of you?" Bill asked with a smile.

"No, and there is no way you can take a photo without allowing you to take a photo." Hades said coldly.

Are Saudis so difficult to speak?

Bill felt very depressed, but as a reporter, he quickly adjusted his mentality, and for a while, he had to look at his performance. Bill recalled the actions of rescue at sea in his mind.

Soon, the helicopter flew to the sea where something happened.

From the sky, there was indeed a major accident on the cargo ship. The stern of the ship had begun to sink. This mine was blown up very hard. Even the deck at the tail began to flood. If there were no ships coming to rescue, the ship would probably sink soon.

Bill looked down and the crew were running around, trying to save the ship, but no one fell into the water. Then, he could not take advantage of the action of saving the fallen water person.

"It seems that it's time for us to go up and help," said Hades.

Hearing the roar of helicopters in the sky, Captain Green raised his head and saw that the helicopter was a symbol of the Saudi Navy, and he suddenly felt nervous.

Why did they come so quickly? They never sent a distress signal at all!

He suddenly had an ominous premonition. If the US Navy came, he was sure to use the Jewish forces at home to let them cover up the matter. However, if the Saudi helicopter came, then the secrets on their ship would probably be exposed!

"I'll go down first." I heard that I was going to get off the boat, Bill suddenly became interested. When he got off on the boat, he took photos by himself, they couldn't control it, right? It was very shocking to rescue the ship in distress and take a few more photos like this. On the ship that was already tilted, the crew members were striving to rescue, discharge sea water, and resume sailing, which would set off the sun in the west at this time, which would be a spectacular scene.

You go down first? Hades glanced at him encouragingly, "Okay, then let you go down first!"

The cabin door was opened, and Bill skillfully put the rope of the winch on his butt, and then walked out of the cabin with the sound of wind above his head, holding the cable with one hand and making skillful gestures with the other, but I don't know if they are familiar with it.

In the past, every time Bill conducted this kind of rescue exercise, he felt that there was a kind of thing sent by God to save those creatures.

He still had his own camera hanging around his waist.

"Captain, people are coming down from above," said a Jewish crew member and Green.

Of course, Green saw it too. At this time, all their crew members stopped moving and were waiting for the captain's order.

If Green ordered the bottom cabin to be opened and released, the ship could sink quickly and sink to the bottom of the sea, which would be considered as a temporary keeping of the secret. Of course, this was just his most reluctant idea and the most effective method.

But Green did not give the order, because he saw that the person who came off the helicopter was not an Arab, but a European!

Where did that guy come out?

Green hesitated, and he lost his last chance.

"Hey, brothers, I'm here to save you!" Bill's feet fell on the somewhat tilted deck and shouted to the sailors watching him.

This is an American ship, the people on the ship are Americans and Bill is British, so Bill is very happy to see the target of his rescue.

He didn't know that just when he landed on the ground, he hung several more ropes behind him.

Bill's biggest use is not when reporters exposed this matter, but for Hades, his use is to attract the other party's attention.
