Chapter 755: The cargo ship is detained.

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

"Supporting another native general, helping him wage war against the Huge Industrial Monster, will subject him to diplomatic pressure from the Chinese side" Mr. Aklan, the director of the office of energy, heeded both suggestions and prepared to cut off the Huge Industrial Monster's supply line of metallic Dysprosium.

Two planes, a ship belonging to the Huge Industrial Monster and a rented freighter were importing Metallic Dysprosium to the Huge Industrial Monster.

Now that the Lord Duan Battleship remained in the Gulf of Guinea to engage in engineering development, the seizure of the vessel did not appear to impede traffic. Because this ship will not leave there in the short term, and the Lord Duan Battleship is a "hero" ship in the hearts of the American people. If it comes to the United States, the enthusiastic American people will probably fill the whole deck with beer and food and if they dare to infer it, it is estimated that the American people will be the first to deny it.

Since it is useless to seize the Lord Duan Battleship, the Americans will seize the other one.

It's easy to find out what's on the giant ship rented by Huge Industrial Monster. Just check the local customs import and export report and let the eyeliner observe and observe at sea and the answer was obtained: in addition to carrying a large amount of industrial material, there are twelve sets of supercritical generator sets on the container ship.

Twelve sets of supercritical generator sets!

My dear, this is an incredible industrial product. Even most current thermal power plants in the United States still used subcritical units. And power plants in Africa are not even close to the critical word.

Seizing the industrial materials on this giant ship is more profitable and more valuable than supporting a puppet general. It is not difficult to track the location of this giant ship. All ocean-going vessels are equipped with several positioning systems. These systems are all developed by the United States, and they can find this giant ship from the vast sea by simply searching for a terminal.

Aklan was overjoyed when he got the place back. The container ship Horizon had then entered the Strait of Malacca, located in the waters near the island of Penang. The Strait of Malacca is America's back garden.

Find the level number!

…………

A vast ship advances on the slightly yellow sea in the Strait of Malacca. At this time, the container ship Horizon was still traveling according to the planned route. Several crew members stood on deck, admiring the coastal scenery with boredom. Turned their eyes, sometimes to the other side, and looked at the two men who stood there, intrigued.

It was the accompanying staff sent by the owner of the goods. It was unclear how these accompanying crew members were their names, along the way, the crew members were very impressed by their coldness. After sailing for dozens of days, the two employees didn't even talk to them. Only when they dined, the sailors couldn't help but be curious. They found two topics to discuss with them and were able to get some answers.

When transporting valuable cargo, it is not uncommon for the owner to send someone to hurry the ship.

But as long as these people boarded the ship, the crew members had more questions than three-year-olds, always chasing the two men to ask this and that. To this end, the crew even prepared some poles on board. When the crew members had no choice, they cast their fishing rods saying that in the vast sea, fishing is their greatest pleasure and they can even catch sharks. The two men, until now, hadn't even bothered to take a look at what they were catching.

"You said these two were tired of being together all day, could they be G**?" said one of the crew members in a low voice.

"There's no other entertainment in the vast sea than watching movies, but they don't. I guess they've been suppressed for too long in secular society, and when they came to this little world on our boat was like being in paradise, and no one bothered them anymore."

"I do not think so."

The sailor being questioned burst out laughing: "I sleep next to them. You know the iron compartment is not soundproof. I haven't heard any strange noises at night."

This one too laughed slyly, then his expression suddenly became stunned, and he pointed to the shore in front of him. The shoreline was beautiful and attracted countless tourists every year and it pointed to Penang Island at the northern mouth of the Strait of Malacca.

Where his finger was pointing, two patrol boats with a black blanket on a white background and a Malaysian flag on top of the cabin, just like the swordfish, quickly crossed the sea and rushed to the Horizon freighter below them.

"No. 0772, we are the second unit of the water police action team from Penang Island, Malaysia, please follow our instructions immediately, moor the vessel and accept our inspection."

"Ship number 0772..."

On public radio, there were calls in English from two patrol officers.

After approaching the high-speed ocean freighter, the siren on top of the ship wailed and several Navy policemen in life jackets stood in front of the gun in front of the ship, pointing at the Horizon freighter with a 25mm caliber gun.

In the cabin, the captain and the mate looked at each other wondering what was going on, and why the two marine police patrol boats came to arrest them.

As the saying goes, "the sound of a wheel is worth a thousand ounces of gold". The marine police ordered them to stop the boat outside the channel for an inspection on board. Once all of the propellers are stopped and starting and trying to catch up to the original speed would cost tens of thousands of dollars worth of fuel for nothing.

I don't know how long it takes for a boarding inspection. A boarding key inspection alone is time-consuming. It is a huge ship of tens of thousands of tons, the area is the size of a building, and the deck is full of cargo.

Many crew members ran out, and skirted the side of the ship and looked at the two patrol boats with angry eyes, cursing them with their mouths, but the marine police couldn't hear them anyway. However, the ship had to obey orders. The captain could only follow in their orders to slowly slow down the giant ship. Eventually, he moored in a shallow water area five kilometers from Penang Island. The power unit was parked, then the anchor and lifting platform were lowered.

Then more than a dozen Navy policemen boarded the bridge from the suspended platform with their guns and swept the stunned sailors with their guns.

The sailors were completely dumbfounded; they crossed the Strait of Malacca countless times. They have never seen such a blatant act of intercepting an international vessel innocently passing through the waterway. If they want to check it, they can do it at the port. It was the busiest waterway in the world, to put it bluntly if the Marine Police didn't have an order from above, this incident would be enough to make them all strip naked.

"We have received information that prohibited industrial equipment is being carried on your freighter 'Horizon', and we must carry out a thorough inspection of the ship," the speaker was a dark-skinned policeman, dressed in a black uniform and a yellow life jacket, two crossed short swords and a star on the short epaulet. He was a senior deputy superintendent, which shows that his position is not small.

"Prohibited industrial equipment?" Zhuo Ningjian, the captain in his 50s, glared and replied in English: "This is ridiculous. Before going through customs, we had already reported the ship's documents to the customs of the countries we are going to sail under the jurisdiction. What is carried on board the vessel is clearly written on the documents."

"We are not pirates. By what right are you going to carry out a thorough inspection of the ship? Your behavior has violated the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and is not in accordance with the system of the passage of the Strait of Malacca."

"I want to speak to your superior."

"Yes, you can also inform your shipping company and the company owning this cargo," the chief inspector waved, "But you shouldn't leave the ship until the inspection is complete."

The captain stamped his foot angrily, said a few harsh words, and entered the wheelhouse, ready to make a satellite phone call. A young Navy policeman followed him under the direction of the officer's eyes. Within two minutes, another white speedboat came from the direction of Penang Island and after boarding the vessel, three men of European and American appearance in suits and leather shoes showed their letters of credit to the crew.

"International Atomic Energy Agency of the United Nations?" There was a crew member who knew English and read the agency information on the certificate in a daze.
