Hou Liangping arrested a hawkish general, and his father-in-law panicked

The intelligence department immediately started working at high speed.

In less than a minute, the results came out.

"Report to the commander!"

Another intelligence officer stood up. "We've found out! The Noah is a luxurious hospital ship registered in Panama, equipped with top-tier medical equipment! It's ostensibly intended to provide maritime medical services to the world's wealthy."

Big fish!

Finally showed up!

Chapter 142 It is expected that in two hours, it will enter the territorial waters of the Han Kingdom!

"According to our overseas intelligence network, this ship has inextricable ties to the international criminal group behind 'Scorpion'! It frequently cruises the waters of East and Southeast Asia, operating in a mysterious manner. Many suspect it's a mobile, maritime 'organ ranch'!"

"Its owner is a Sakura man codenamed 'Doctor'. This 'Doctor' is the top person in charge of the 'Ark Project' in the entire Asia region! 'Scorpion' is just a middleman and thug under his command!"

"boom!"

This news, like a real bomb, exploded in the minds of everyone in the command room!

They had gone to such great lengths, blocking the port, pursuing them across the sea, and forcibly boarding the ship...

In the end, only one middleman was caught?

The real big fish, the so-called "doctor", has run away with the most core evidence?

"This... this is fucking!"

Major General Zhang, who had a hot temper, slammed his hand on the table in anger, "Then all our hard work just now was in vain!!"

Zhao Yuanchao ignored his complaints.

His eyes were fixed on the main screen.

"Technical Department! Find the 'Noah' for me! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

His voice was fished out from the ice cellar.

"Yes!"

The huge electronic nautical chart appeared on the screen again.

This time, the search scope was expanded from the Yellow Sea to the entire Donglong National Sea.

"Report! Using space-based satellite systems and comparing civilian ship navigation data, we've discovered a highly suspicious vessel!"

A red dot of light was rapidly magnified on the nautical chart.

"This vessel left our territorial waters just fifteen minutes ago! It's currently sailing southeast at a speed of 25 knots! Its destination is none other than Jeju Island in Han Country!"

"The ship's AIS signal shows it's an ordinary cargo ship. However, its speed and the hull outline captured by the satellite are 99% consistent with the data of the 'Noah' medical ship!"

"It's camouflaging!"

"Its location is one hundred and thirty nautical miles away from us!"

Zhao Yuanchao looked at the red light spot on the nautical chart that was desperately fleeing. His eyes, which had just shown some warmth, were once again covered with cold murderous intent.

He slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Shoujing.

Zhou Shoujing felt uneasy when he was looked at by him, and he knew what the commander wanted to do.

"Commander..."

Zhou Shoujing's voice was a little dry. "We... We have received orders to return immediately. Moreover, the other party has sailed out of our territorial waters and entered the high seas. If we continue to chase them, it will be..."

"What is it?"

Zhao Yuanchao interrupted him.

"It's an unauthorized, transnational military pursuit..."

Zhou Shoujing said stubbornly, "We don't have that power. If a firefight were to occur on the high seas, the international disputes it would trigger would be beyond the capacity of our army alone to handle..."

"that power?"

Zhao Yuanchao smiled, but there was no warmth in that smile.

"Old Zhou, let me ask you, what's on that ship?"

"There is... there is the core data of the 'Ark Project'."

"what is that?"

"It is... it is evidence of the crimes of dozens, even hundreds, of human lives, the blood and tears of countless broken families, and it is enough to overturn the cognition of many people. It is the darkest abscess in this country."

Zhou Shoujing spoke word by word.

"So, do you think we should take it back?"

Zhao Yuanchao stared into his eyes.

Zhou Shoujing fell silent.

He knew that, logically, he should.

But from a procedural point of view, no.

"Commander, I understand what you mean. However, we can report this intelligence to the higher-ups. They can use diplomatic channels or coordinate with Interpol..."

"By the time they finished coordinating, the ship had already entered Jeju Island and disappeared without a trace!"

Zhao Yuanchao's voice suddenly rose. "By then, the evidence will have been destroyed and the person will have escaped! Where will we find him?!"

"Old Zhou! My people can't die in vain! Those compatriots who were slaughtered like animals can't die in vain!"

"Today, even if the king of heaven comes, don't even think about letting me return!"

"I've got this 'doctor' for sure!"

He turned around and stopped looking at anyone. His tall and straight back looked like a volcano about to erupt.

He picked up the transmitter on the command platform, and his voice was broadcast to every corner of the 10,000-ton destroyer.

"Attention all!"

"This is Zhao Yuanchao!"

"I command, heading 120, target, 'Noah'!"

"Engine power increased to maximum! Combat alert, level one!"

"Tell the boiler room to light up all our boilers! I want this ship to fly!"

"Today, we will show the whole world what happens to those who dare to commit crimes at the gate of Longguo!"

"Boom--" With Zhao Yuanchao's order, the four gas turbines of the 055 destroyer instantly erupted with a deafening roar.

This sleeping steel behemoth was infused with a soul, and the entire hull began to tremble slightly.

The bow of the ship suddenly lifted up at an angle visible to the naked eye, and then heavily split the waves in front, stirring up two snow-white waves that were more than ten meters high.

At the stern of the ship, four huge propellers were spinning wildly, stirring up four bottomless whirlpools on the sea surface.

The speed of the ship is increasing rapidly.

Thirty sections!

Forty sections!

Fifty days!

Finally, it stabilized at an astonishing sixty knots!

This behemoth with a displacement of more than 12,000 tons, at this moment, turned into a gray lightning like a speedboat flying close to the sea surface, and rushed towards the southeast, into the depths of the turbulent Yellow Sea.

The atmosphere in the bridge command room was extremely depressing.

No one spoke, there was only the "beeping" sound from various instruments and the dull sound of the ship hitting the waves when it was sailing at high speed.

Zhou Shoujing stood behind Zhao Yuanchao with a serious expression.

He knew it was over.

From the moment Zhao Yuanchao issued this order, everything was irreversible.

They are now like an arrow shot from a bow. There is no third possibility except hitting the target or being smashed to pieces.

"Commander..."

Zhou Shoujing couldn't help but speak again, "Do we really want to do this? Have you... have you consulted your superiors?"

Zhao Yuanchao did not look back. His eyes were always fixed on the red dot on the electronic nautical chart that was fleeing frantically.

"I will be outside, and I will not accept your order."

That's all he said.

Zhou Shoujing's heart sank completely.

He knew Zhao Yuanchao's temper and the weight of his words.

This is not an excuse, but a determination.

Zhao Yuanchao was really prepared to gamble his own future, the honor of the 20th Army, and even a possible regional conflict to complete this pursuit.

madman!

Zhou Shoujing cursed in his heart.

But he had to admit, damn, he was actually a little envious of this madman.

Who among the soldiers doesn’t have some blood in his heart?

Who doesn’t want to take revenge?

However, having reached their position, there are too many concerns.

We need to consider the impact, the consequences, the politics, and the diplomacy...

Over time, the blood almost ran cold.

And Zhao Yuanchao, this unreasonably young army commander, his blood is always hot and burning.

"Old Zhou,"
