Chapter 820: Chapter 484: If you want to take by force, let’s see if my missiles agree!

Elijah Hastings was on the speedboat, looking through his telescope at two other speedboats that were closing in on his own patrol boat, his anger swiftly rising.

Among the three people who followed Sean Knight, Elijah had been with him the longest and was the steadiest.

Lincoln Harrington was meticulous, Douglas Cooper somewhat careless, but the most impulsive of the group.

That was the impression he usually gave to the team.

But now, seeing his own patrol boat suppressed by the opponent’s firepower, the engine damaged, and facing their arrogant display, two of his security personnel were still holding guns, clearly planning to land a fierce blow when the opponent approached.

The situation was clearly unequal, and after the fight, it was basically going to be a rhythm of death, Elijah’s eyes had turned red!

"Squad Leader Maddox, is it possible to hit those two speedboats with a couple of missiles?"

The operator of the boat’s guns was also filled with righteous indignation, and if it weren’t for the fact that the boss and the "superior" had both said they were to follow Elijah’s lead when they arrived, they probably would have acted already.

However, hearing what Elijah said, Maddox Johnson, the former second-class petty officer now in civilian service, was also stunned.

Using missiles against speedboats?

Wasn’t that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

The missiles on this boat were almost half the length of those speedboats—it was seriously a waste of resources!

Knowing that Elijah didn’t understand, he said:

"There’s no need for missiles, the close-defense cannon can blow those speedboats to pieces!"

"Then blast them to smithereens!" Elijah had no practice of indulging them!

Daring to confront a patrol boat was a death wish!

Since they were seeking death, how could he not grant their wish!

Squad Leader Maddox was a ruthless man, and as soon as Elijah gave the order, he immediately went to the cannon, took control, and aimed!

The "thud thud thud" of the six-barrel close-in weapon system began to sound!

Watching the flames burst from the barrel, Elijah raised his telescope again.

The people on the speedboats had noticed the incoming missile boat, saw the muzzle flash, and before they could hear the sound, those who reacted quickly had already jumped into the sea!

Damn it, at least that little patrol boat used a loudspeaker to give a warning.

You damn missile boat!

It’s called a boat, but it displaces several hundred tons!

You damn went and launched a sneak attack!

That’s utterly devoid of martial decency!

Those who were slow to react didn’t even comprehend what was happening before their whole bodies, along with the speedboats, were blown to pieces by the shells!

The original Type 022 boats were fitted with anti-aircraft guns, but the two sent first had been modified to use close-defense cannons, which made the action feel much more satisfying!

At least Elijah found it more satisfying to watch!

The two speedboats were blown up, and the people on them had almost no chance of survival. Elijah’s rage did not subside, and instead, he turned his gaze to the salvage ship!

As the two speedboats were destroyed, those aboard the salvage ship also spotted the oddly shaped missile boat.

Even if they were clueless, they knew they had provoked something formidable.

But by then, it was probably too late to run away, seeing the speed of the other party, even if they started running at thirty-nine meters, the opponent’s forty-meter-long knife would still slice into them.

The Type 022 missile boats were designed with a catamaran stealth concept, with high speed and fierce weaponry, intended primarily for attack with little thought for defense.

With a maximum speed of fifty-two knots, they could stand on the sea surface and shout to all the motorboats:

"Who else wants some?"

And that was the real deal!

Looking at the missile launchers on top and the close-defense cannon, the high-low dual-purpose machine guns installed on the salvage ship seemed inadequate.

The gunner, knowing his place, just pulled over a tarp to cover the machine gun.

To avoid embarrassment.

At this moment, the Old Squad Leader and Little Left from the patrol boat watched the missile boat speeding toward them; although there was no flag hanging nor ship’s side number displayed, they almost burst into tears just recognizing its familiar style!

Backup from home had arrived!

Damn it, now they could finally seek revenge!

It was like a child who had been hit by a bully and stubbornly held on, refusing to give in or beg for mercy.

When the child’s family arrived to smack the bully, and the bully cowered, only then did the child’s grievances come pouring out!

Damn, now you got what’s coming to you!

"Squad Leader Harold, Little Left, you’ve done well!" As the missile boat approached the patrol boat, Elijah and others pulled the team aboard and said:

"Let’s go, we’re going to reclaim the scene!"

The missile boat then stopped about 100 meters away from the salvage ship.

The Old Squad Leader grabbed the loudspeaker again and shouted:

"Attention all personnel on the ship ahead: come out to the deck for inspection! If there’s any disobedience, you’ll be welcomed with missiles!"

He decisively slapped the missile launcher beside him—this thing was fierce!

Damn familiar!

A line of people appeared on the other ship, and a tall white man ran over to the deck’s edge and loudly called out:

"I’m Clement, captain of the Triumph Ship. I have been entrusted by a certain official in the Jakarta fisheries department to come here for salvage operations, and I have the commission documents here which you can review!"

"We’re not looking! Without our permission, it’s all illegal salvage.

Either you accept our inspection now and follow us to the port, where we will impose penalties based on the items you’ve salvaged,

Or you can continue salvaging, and we will respond to your defiance of our orders—by possibly sinking you, depending on the situation!"

The other side hadn’t expected such a harsh response; after all, they had the backing of a high-ranking official from Jakarta!

"I hope you understand that I’m authorized by top officials in Jakarta, and you should know who I work for!" The captain was getting angry too; if it hadn’t been for the sight of the missiles, he would have ordered his gunner to open fire!
