Chapter 175 Top Secret
"Some people on our ship have noticed something is wrong, because the specifications of the escorted materials are very high, and even our internal security department has no right to check."
"But we have discipline, we only obey orders, and we don't listen, say or ask what we shouldn't know, so after simple preparations, our ship set off."
"But what I didn't expect was that" the woman paused after saying this, "we sailed to the high seas around midnight, and it was during the shift break time. Coco, when I passed the containers placed on the deck and was about to go back to the cabin to rest, I suddenly heard a sound in the container."
"The sound was not loud, but very special," she recalled, "It was like something very sharp scratching the iron sheet."
"I was also bewildered at the time, and I couldn't help but feel curious in my heart. I slowly moved closer. The closer I was to the container, the more uncontrollable my curiosity became, and then I actually had an urge to open it and take a look." At this point, the woman showed a look of regret.
Although she quickly restrained her emotions, the people present were not ordinary people, so they naturally caught this.
"What happened next?" someone asked, it was the rock climbing woman before.
"When I woke up again, I was already locked up," the older woman sighed, "a man sat opposite me, staring at me coldly. I had never seen him before. He was about 50 years old, wearing casual clothes, with no marks on his shoulders or collar."
"Isn't he someone on your ship?"
"No," the woman shook her head, "but I can feel that he is also a person like us, but his status is much higher than ours. Because later our captain came in under the escort of two people, and the captain's attitude towards this person also shows this point."
The woman gestured to her shoulder and added: "Our captain has two bars and four stars."
"Later they asked me something, but I was confused at the time and couldn't remember it."
As for why the woman couldn't remember, everyone knew it in their hearts.
"Then I was carried out by two people. They were wearing helmets I had never seen before and dark green lenses. I couldn't see their eyes clearly, but I could feel the cold eyes behind the lenses."
"I was very surprised at the time. Why were there so many people I didn't know on the ship? But when they took me to the conference room and passed by the deck, I found that four dark green containers had been opened. A dozen people were moving something around there. Among them, there were people dressed the same way and standing guard with guns."
"They were moving neat wooden boxes, some big and some small, but they looked very heavy. Sometimes it even took three or four people to work together."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes became subtle. The wooden boxes probably contained weapons and ammunition.
But this is on the high seas.
If you are not careful, you will get into big trouble.
What kind of thing would cause such a big commotion? Everyone was silently guessing.
"When I was looking over there, the escort behind me pushed me with the butt of his gun. It was so sudden that I fell down without standing firmly. There happened to be something next to me. I grabbed it with my hand in a hurry. It turned out to be a large piece of dark green waterproof cloth."
"After the waterproof cloth was torn off, there was a cannon covered inside."
"But it was not the kind that fired shells, but a huge four-clawed harpoon with a sharp front end, about two meters long."
"Whaling cannon?!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked at her, the petite loli who had never spoken.
For some reason, this thing with a heavy smell of post-industrial steel seemed to have a different taste when it came out of the loli's mouth.
The older woman glanced at her, neither confirming nor denying, but added lightly: "It's not clear on the other side, but there are probably 4 to 5 doors on this side that are similar to those covered with ink-colored waterproof cloth."
The young man who had been more frivolous before also fell silent. After a while, he slowly said: "The tonnage of your ship is not low."
"Please continue," Jiang Cheng nodded.
The woman paused and continued: "Then I was taken to the largest conference room on the ship. As soon as I entered the door, I found that almost all the crew members were there. Everyone looked very nervous, and the sound of pushing the door scared them."
"The 50-year-old man I saw before was standing in the most conspicuous position. There were several people standing beside him with guns on guard, and there were also gunmen in the corner."
"I looked at the person escorting me, and suddenly found that his finger was on the trigger, and" the woman took a deep breath, "he didn't turn off the safety."
"The man of high status was in front of us, He took a brown paper bag from another adjutant-like man, and then tore it open on the spot. There was only one page of paper inside. He read the document on the paper in public, and then announced that he would take over the ship immediately. "
"Everyone on the ship, regardless of their position, must obey his command and obey his orders."
"From this moment on, we will enter a wartime control state, and everyone must unconditionally obey the temporary control regulations."
"Disconnect all contacts with the outside world, maintain radio silence throughout the journey, implement a lighting control on the entire ship when sailing at night, and ensure that at least two people are on duty at key positions at the same time."
"If anyone violates this, military law will be enforced!"
The woman is indeed a person who has worked hard. When she talked about these things, she was calm and clear. There was no warmth in her words. She was only used to narrating facts.
People of that era grew up listening to the passionate stories of their ancestors, so they had a belief in absolute obedience to the regulations, even if no one was staring at them with a gun.
The woman exhaled, as if to give herself and others a chance to breathe. "Then he left the captain and the heads of various departments, and the rest returned to their respective posts under the supervision of the gunmen."
"Then he took out another document about our mission."
Now everyone can see that this is definitely not the simple maritime rescue mentioned before, but a standard top-secret military mission.
Judging from the mission configuration and compliance with wartime control regulations, the confidentiality level of this mission is so high that it is unimaginable. It is difficult for the local government to have such a large decision-making power. This order may be issued directly from the imperial capital.
The woman's words are also very measured. It seems that she has revealed a lot, but it is difficult to trace the source through her words.
Because firstly, the coordinates of this place are not mentioned, and secondly, no names or places appear. Such a story without a beginning or an end can be written by any of the top writers on the suspense channel of Qidian.com.
This is a kind of protection for Jiang Cheng and others, as well as the woman herself.
