Chapter 069 Gunshots in the South China Sea
Chapter 069 The sound of guns in the South China Sea
Zhongye Island, one of the islands and reefs in the Nansha Islands, is named in commemorating the warship "Zhongye" that the Kuomintang government navy received the sovereignty of the Nansha Islands in 1946. Zhongye Island has been occupied by the Philippines since 1971. However, since the Natuna incident in 1998, with the incorporation of Natuna into China, the Chinese navy and naval aviation have settled in Zhongye Island in large numbers. This beautiful island that has been occupied by the Philippines for nearly 30 years has returned to the embrace of the motherland.
However, this island has now become the exclusive territory of Hanyu Mimon Group, or Zeng Lingfeng's sī industry. The residents on the island were all moved to Natuna after the establishment of the Natuna Special Zone. After the Hanyu Mimon Group enjoyed all the development rights of the island, Zhongye Island was built in large quantities. These constructions have rapidly expanded the area of this originally only the second largest island to nearly one square kilometer, becoming the largest island in the Nansha Islands.
Nowadays, a simple airport has been built on Zhongye Island, which can provide all regional passenger planes in the world to take off and land. The development of Zhongye Island by Hanyu Mimeng Group is mainly to develop the tourism industry.
Of course, although this island is nominally bought by Hanyu Mimon Group, it does not exclude Chinese fishermen from going to the island to fish and other actions.
Zhongye Island in April is already extremely hot. In fact, because it is close to the equator, the temperature here does not vary much throughout the year, and it is all around 30℃.
However, April is also the most beautiful time for Nakaye Island. Of course, it is also the best season for fishermen to catch fish.
Three Chinese fishing boats are fishing on the sea about three kilometers east of Zhongye Island.
Lin Zhongbin is from Hainan and has been fishermen for generations. This vast South China Sea is their dependence on survival for generations. In the past few years, because the South China Sea archipelago was occupied by foreign countries, for safety, the places where they could fish were compressed, which made their lives very difficult.
Eight years ago, with the establishment of the Natuna Special Zone, China restored its full control of the four major archipelagos in the South China Sea. This made fishermen such as Lin Zhongbin were extremely excited because it meant that the vast sea area of more than one million square kilometers of the South China Sea was once again a paradise for them to catch fish!
Over the years, their lives have been greatly improved with the expansion of the fishing area, especially fishermen like Lin Zhongbin, who have extremely good fishing skills. He even married a beautiful young wife, a young wife who is seven or eight years younger than him. This is simply envious of the people in the village.
Today is the second and last day of their operation on Zhongye Island. For some reason, there are a lot of fish near Zhongye Island this year, and their operation is also very smooth. The homework that was originally expected to be completed at least three days has now been completed within these two days, which makes Lin Zhongbin and the others very happy.
However, this group of excited fishermen did not know that the god of death was approaching them.
In the sea about five kilometers east of Zhongye Island, three armed speedboats are quickly approaching here.
The three armed speedboats did not fly any flags.
One kilometer away from the three fishing boats, the three armed speedboats accelerated and each seized one of the fishing boats and rushed over.
Lin Zhongbin and the others also discovered the originally armed speedboat. Originally, they thought it was a patrol boat of the Chinese Navy. However, when the speedboat hit their fishing boat, they realized that something was wrong.
However, the speed of the fishing boat was too slow. When the armed speedboat approached them, it was too late to avoid it.
Without any warning, the masked militants on the armed speedboat picked up submachine guns and fired at the fishing boat.
Lin Zhongbin was the first to realize that something was wrong. The moment he saw the person on the speedboat take out his gun, he decisively jumped into the sea and swam towards Zhongye Island three miles away in the west.
Behind him, there were waves of roars of submachine guns, and the screams of his companions before their death.
Lin Zhongbin dared not stay at all, nor even dared to throw his head out of the sea, as it would likely be noticed by the enemy and then chased him.
On the empty and quiet sea, gunfire was heard very far. Zhongye Island, three kilometers away, also heard the rapid gunfire.
The security guards of the Hanyu Mimon Group who were left behind on the island were actually the "fox hunting" mercenaries who naturally heard the gunshots.
Their first impression was that pirates attacked the island.
Although the South China Sea is now considered the inland sea of the country, it is also a paradise for pirates because of its vast and complex sea areas. Although there are many naval personnel stationed in Natuna now, they are also actively carrying out the work of extermination of pirates. However, after all, the South China Sea is not a country, and those pirates may flee into the waters of neighboring countries at any time, which makes the Chinese navy helpless.
Because they didn't know the situation, the "Fox Hunter" did not dare to attack rashly. They just quickly responded to the impact of pirates.
However, half an hour passed and there was no sign of the pirate.
The "Fox Hunters" decided to send some personnel to the sea to check the situation, and at the same time requested the headquarters to mobilize satellites in the sky to monitor the situation in the waters near Zhongye Island.
Soon, two patrol boats drove out to sea under the driving of eight "Fox Hunting" team members and rushed to the place where the gunfire came.
Just after more than a kilometer, a sharp-eyed team member discovered that there was a man paddling desperately not far away. His destination was obviously Zhongye Island to the west. Moreover, this person was obviously a Chinese at first glance.
The "Fox Hunting" team members immediately leaned over the speedboat and rescued the man.
"There are...someone attacking our fishing boat!" After Lin Zhongbin got on the boat, he said hurriedly before he could even adjust his breathing. More than half an hour has passed, and I don't know if his friends are alive. But if these people rushed there faster, they might be able to save those surviving friends.
The "Fox Hunting" team members were furious and actually attacked Chinese fishermen near Zhongye Island, which was absolutely intolerable.
The team members immediately reported the information they learned to the island, and then accelerated to the site of the incident.
When they arrived, the three armed speedboats were gone, and there was only a mess left on the sea.
Looking at the bodies of his friends floating on the sea and the three empty fishing boats, Lin Zhongbin couldn't help crying.
The "Fox Hunting" team members also had angry flames in their eyes.
Several team members wanted to chase, but were stopped by the captain who led the team. More than half an hour has passed, and these murderers have already run out dozens of kilometers. Where will they chase this vast ocean?
However, the team members still took pictures of the tragic situation at the scene and asked the island to contact the headquarters immediately and must use satellites to monitor the sea surface within a 100-kilometer range nearby. They did not believe that in just half an hour, the thugs could escape from this range.
Zhongye Island received a report from the team members and immediately reported the matter to the "Fox Hunting" headquarters in Natuna, which is the headquarters of the security company under Hanyu Mimeng Group.
When Hanyu Mimeng Group received this news, it immediately mobilized the group's satellites to monitor the sea surface within 100 kilometers around Zhongye Island.
Soon, the traces of the three armed speedboats were captured by high-precision satellites in the sky. At this time, the three speedboats were escaping towards Palawan Island in the Philippines in the east. The subsequent escape process was all photographed by the satellites in the sky.
The thugs who committed the crime knew that when they were excited, all their actions had been photographed by satellites hundreds of kilometers altitudes.
When the three speedboats under the monitoring satellite image entered the port of Princesa on Palawan Island, the planners behind the incident could no longer be clear.
Subsequently, Hanyu Mimeng Group Security Company copied three copies of the monitoring videos and submitted them to the group headquarters, the Midai Island sea and air base and China Government.
When the Hanyu Mimon Group Security Company passed the information out, the Hamonino Councilor, who was hundreds of kilometers away from the scene of the incident, also received a report from his subordinates.
"Beautiful job!" Councillor Hammonino said excitedly with a pretty snap of his fingers.
"Dear, what makes you so happy?" A charming woman asked beside Hammonino in a coquettish voice. The woman was Hammonino's lover Barbara.
"Haha, my man pretended to be pirates and attacked three Chinese fishing boats on the east side of Zhongye Island. All the crew members were killed. Hehe, this time I want to see how the Hanyu Mimon Group explained to the Chinese government that there are no other powers to enter there." Hammonino said proudly. "I dare to occupy our Philippines territory, and I want him to vomit it out completely."
"Ah? Really? But, Hanyu Mimeng Group is so powerful. If they find out the truth about this matter, how can we withstand their anger? Also, Hanyu Mimeng Group and China Government have a close relationship. China Government will not believe that this was done by the Hanyu Mimeng Group." Barbara said with some concern.
"Haha, it's okay to believe it. Even if they find out that it was me who did it? I am a member of the Philippines and may become the next speaker. What can they do with me? Our government is not Chinese government, and they will not hand me over. In the past, they wouldn't have it, but now there are two newly built bases by Americans and an aircraft carrier that has been deployed." Hammonino said proudly.
