Chapter 970 Why is the gap so big?

  Two patrol boats headed towards Liu Qingshan's aircraft carrier.

   Far away, the speedboat stopped and shouted, but the language was a bit incomprehensible.

   Fortunately, Vera, the translator, exchanged a few words with the other party, and only then did I know that the beach here belongs to the ancient city of Athens.

  The other party obviously also heard the news about the aircraft carrier and the pirates, and quickly figured out the identity of the aircraft carrier.

  Although they are not from Mars, pirates are also unwelcome and must be expelled.

  The current situation is not something you can drive away if you want to. The aircraft carrier, a big guy, is stranded, and there are not many tugboats. Don't even think about getting it into the sea again.

   Fortunately, the three tugboats that lost contact were also found, and a few more were hired from the local area, so they worked together to return the aircraft carrier to the sea.

   Just in time to replenish the supplies locally, and then continue on the road, just to be on the safe side, Liu Qingshan hired two more tugboats locally.

  The next voyage will be relatively smooth, all the way west, through the Strait of Gibraltar, and finally into the Atlantic Ocean.

   Then go all the way south around the west coast of Africa, turn around the southernmost Cape of Good Hope, and go all the way north.

  The experience on the way was also very colorful, and even a group of aboriginals with spears and bows were robbed.

   Aidid was a little dumbfounded: "We are pirates, okay, you dare to snatch?"

  After more than a month of long voyage, finally in early July, the fleet arrived at the northernmost Horn of Africa, which is the territory of Liland.

   "Finally home!"

  Liu Qingshan couldn't help but yelled, he was under the most pressure along the way, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had gone through untold hardships.

   "Haha, victory, victory!"

  The crew also cheered in unison.

  The reporters and the hostages also burst into tears: "Finally free!"

   And Aidid's pirate team, seeing that it was not far from Rainbow City, prepared to disembark.

   Aidid meant what he said, holding wads of dollar bills and handing them out to the hostages one by one.

   "Thank you, you are really conscientious pirates."

  The hostages also hugged Aidid one after another. They have been bumping on the sea together for so long, and they all have feelings.

  In fact, after boarding the aircraft carrier, the pirates basically no longer restrain the hostages, and everyone is similar to the traveling companions on the same ship.

  Cultivated to cross the same boat after a hundred years, this relationship is quite memorable.

  Looking at Aidid and the group of pirates who came ashore in small boats in batches, many of them even waved goodbye.

  After the fleet sailed for another half a day, two small warships greeted them from the front. They were warships from Rainbow Harbor. They came to welcome them after hearing the news.

   In the sky, two more helicopters flew in and landed safely on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

   "This is called an aircraft carrier. There are no planes parked on it, so it feels like something is missing." Li Tieniu laughed.

  Rainbow Port can be seen faintly ahead. The aircraft carrier, a big guy, has already prepared a berth at the port.

  Everyone couldn't wait to get off the boat. The moment their feet stepped on the ground, many people had the urge to bend down and kiss the ground.

   "Everyone, I sincerely invite you all to visit Rainbow City."

   Liu Qingshan sent out the invitation, after all, he is a partner in the same boat, and his friendship is unusual.

  Since they have come, they will be at ease. Everyone's feet are light and light, like stepping on cotton balls, and they walk to the station not far away.

  The guards at the port lined up to welcome them a long time ago. Accompanied by a loud "salute", all members of the guards saluted in unison.

  The guests didn't know the situation, and thought that this was the rule.

   As everyone knows, these veterans are paying tribute to heroes.

   Being able to bring the aircraft carrier back is of course a hero in their eyes.

  The management of Rainbow City also came to the pier to greet them. Xiao Wu, the old squad leader and others all had tears of excitement in their eyes.

   "Let's go back to the city and celebrate!" Liu Qingshan also waved his arms, calling everyone to get on the bus.

   "It's such a big ship, I want to get on it too!" Xiao Dili looked at the high bow of the aircraft carrier, her little black face was full of shock.

  Xiao Wu laughed loudly: "This is our own, girl, you can go up and run around!"

  People took two buses and headed towards Rainbow City. The wheat fields along the way were ripe, and the wind blowing the wheat waves was golden.

  This year is a bit dry, and the grain production will definitely decrease. However, the irrigation system on the Rainbow City side has been formed, so it is basically not affected.

  But in other areas of Liland, it is estimated that there will be famine again.

   At that time, the population of Rainbow City will usher in another big breakthrough.

  Now, Rainbow City has almost become a holy place here in Lilan. Some small tribes simply migrated here as a whole.

   Entering Rainbow City, the reporters were a little skeptical when they saw the tidy streets and the vibrant scene: Is this the legendary pirate's lair?

  We went to the People’s Hotel together, settled down, and then went to the Friendship Restaurant for dinner, mainly beef, mutton and seafood, and there was no shortage of vegetables.

  Everyone is in a good mood, and their appetites are also whetted.

  During the meal, many people toasted Liu Qingshan and the others to show their gratitude.

  Reporter John is the most intelligent. After clinking glasses with Liu Qingshan, he asked:

   "Mr. Mountain, I found that Rainbow City doesn't seem to have any newspapers or news agencies, is that true?"

  Liu Qingshan nodded, Rainbow City is now mainly developing various infrastructure constructions, and there are indeed many industries that are blank.

  John shook the red wine in the glass: "Mr. Mountain, I wonder if I can stay and do this?"

   "Why?" Liu Qingshan blinked. Although Rainbow City has a little appearance, it is still incomparable with those bustling metropolises.

   "For friendship." John raised his glass, gestured to Liu Qingshan, and then continued: "And I am optimistic about the development of Rainbow City."

  Liu Qingshan clinked wine glasses with him: "Then I welcome new partners to join us."

   Soon, two more reporters approached, and they also had the same thoughts as John.

  Rainbow City is at the time of employing people, of course, all comers are welcome, and even some crew members among the hostages chose to stay, and they also saw the prosperity of Rainbow Port.

  After eating, Liu Qingshan sat down with Xiao Wu, the old squad leader and others.

  Xiao Wu reported enthusiastically: "Li Sanjing is really good. This time, he only drilled one well and discovered another big oil field."

   "The exploration teams of European and American oil companies are all **** off, and they are all useless!"

  Comparing people to people makes people **** off, which is probably what they said.

  They are all in the coastal waters of one country, why is the gap so big?

   It is also necessary to buy the exploration rights of the sea area, as well as the cost of drilling wells. Real money is thrown in, but there is no return.

   It happened to be here in Rainbow City, but news of good news came out frequently, making those big companies jealous.

  Then the topic turned to the aircraft carrier. Liu Qingshan was going to avoid the limelight in Rainbow City, and wait until no one paid attention to this matter before transporting the aircraft carrier back to China.

   Xiao Wu took the initiative to take on this task, so Liu Qingshan was of course relieved.

   There was also an episode during the period. When reporter John was wandering around Rainbow City, he found a local who was very similar to a pirate he knew.

  Although Aidid led the group of fake pirates to other tribes to avoid the limelight, there were some who were homesick and sneaked back to take a look, but John recognized them.

   "These local people all have similar looks." Liu Qingshan could only use this kind of words to prevaricate.

   "Perhaps." John also smiled, and stopped talking about it.

   After resting in Rainbow City for a few days, Liu Qingshan is ready to return home.

  He now has two motherlands, one is the country where he was born and raised, which belongs to his mother;

  The other one is here, but it can't be said to be the stepmother, because Liu Qingshan has used this identity to accomplish great things, and he is also grateful.

  Leading the rest of the reporters and the released hostages, Liu Qingshan took a boat to the north and went to the oil country to board a plane.

   At the airport here, everyone finally parted ways and returned home.

   When it came time to break up, I was a little bit reluctant.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and hugged everyone: "I hope that if there is a chance, everyone will come to Rainbow City again, and everyone is welcome to have the opportunity to visit Huaxia!"

   "I will." Everyone also smiled and agreed that this special journey will definitely become their most unforgettable memory.

  After Liu Qingshan was around, only Li Tie, Li Tieniu, Chen Dongfang and others were left. Several people looked at each other and smiled, and then clapped each other:

  They finally completed this arduous task, and all the efforts and hardships were worth it!

  From Hong Kong Island to the capital, after getting off the plane and stepping on the land of the motherland, Liu Qingshan's heart became completely stable:

   Come back, finally come back!

   "Li, is this your country? It doesn't seem to be as backward as the legend says?" Vera looked around with curiosity.

   "It's our country!" Li Tie probably thought it was a matter of principle, so he corrected Vera's statement.

  Vera was already familiar with his temperament, so she didn't care, and hugged Li Tie's arm tightly.

   This doll-like exotic girl is of course very eye-catching.

  Li Tie's face flushed slightly, he was still not used to this kind of intimacy in public.

   But Vera hugged her tightly, so Li Tie stopped struggling.

  Liu Qingshan didn't inform Wang Xiaobing that they were coming to pick up the station in advance, and he didn't pay much attention to these things.

  He was about to take a taxi home, but two people in white half-sleeves walked towards him:

   "It's Comrade Liu Qingshan, is it convenient for someone to see you?"

  Of course Liu Qingshan knew who the other party was, so it was convenient if it was inconvenient. He was already very polite when he didn't just say "please come with us".

  So he smiled and nodded: "Yes."

  Li Tieniu still couldn't understand, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "My little brother just got off the plane, and he hasn't gone home to see his wife yet."

  Liu Qingshan quickly signaled to Li Tie to take the guy away quickly. Li Tie naturally knew that Liu Qingshan was going to report to his superiors, so he dragged Li Tieniu, took a taxi, and went back to the house at Liulichang first.

  In the capital in mid-July, it is the hottest time of the year. When I entered the alley, I heard the cicadas on the tree screaming vigorously.

   "I'm back!" Li Tieniu yelled outside the gate.

   "Daddy, Daddy!" The little milk's childish cry came from the door.

  Li Tieniu was overjoyed when he heard it: "Haha, my son, that's right, I haven't forgotten your father!"

   "Brother!" The door opened, and the fourth child rushed out first, followed by the fifth child. The two girls looked around, but they couldn't find Liu Qingshan, and their eyes were filled with disappointment.

  The little fourth pouted: "Brother Tie Niu, brother Tie Zi, where is my brother?"

   "Haha, I was invited to drink tea by the relevant department." Li Tieniu replied with a sentence that Liu Qingshan often said.

ah?

  Of course the little fourth child knew what this sentence meant, and was taken aback.

  But she quickly realized that she gave Li Tieniu a white look, then looked at the stranger Vera, and said skillfully in English: "Welcome."

   "I'm Vera, you're cute."

  Vera speaks proficient Mandarin, worthy of being a language expert. After spending a few months with Li Tie, he learned another foreign language.

  Li Tieniu hugged the calf, everyone entered the yard, the yard was very lively, Xiao Huo and Xiao Yueyue were here, playing with the calf just now.

  Lin Zhi also came out of the kitchen upon hearing the news, greeted everyone with a smile, with a loving face.

  In the past few months, Lin Zhi has been taking care of her here.

  In the evening, Emma drove back in a car, pulling the old hat master and Wu Tong back.

  Emma has completed the formalities and has become a Chinese daughter-in-law gloriously.

   During this period of time, she was at the Jade Bird Science and Technology Park, coordinating with He Shuiqing to do management work, and another task was to serve as Wu Tong's driver.

  Seeing Li Tie and the others, Wu Tong's eyes lit up, and he immediately began to look around.

  Li Tieniu grinned and laughed twice: "Little brother joined Lilan's nationality, and then he gave several daughter-in-laws over there. Now little brother is happy to leave."

  Wu Tong looked at him, blinked his eyes twice, stretched out his hand and pointed out the door: "Xiao Cui'er is back!"

   Ah, Li Tieniu turned his head subconsciously, and only then did he realize that he had been fooled.

  The little fourth came up to scold him: "Brother Tieniu, you can't use your brain well, so don't try to deceive others, okay?"

  Li Tieniu scratched the back of his head, smiled innocently, and then stretched out his hand and pointed out the door: "Little brother is back!"

   "It's no wonder I believe you." The fourth brother said so, still glanced at the door, and then cheered: "Brother, my brother is back!"

  Liu Qingshan was standing at the door, looking at his family with a smile.

  His eyes swept across his mother's loving face, the excited faces of the fourth and fifth children, and finally fell on Wu Tong's smiling face.

   A warm feeling rippled in Liu Qingshan's heart: "I'm back!"

  The little fourth was about to rush forward, but the fifth pulled his arm, and then he saw Wu Tong go up to him, and stretched out his hand to help Liu Qingshan straighten his collar:

   "It's good that you come back."

  A simple greeting is worth a thousand words.

  Liu Qingshan opened his arms and hugged his wife. He didn't hug his wife too tightly, because he felt Wu Tong's swollen abdomen, where a new life was being bred.

  With so many people watching, Wu Tong's face was a little red, but she still snuggled into Liu Qingshan's arms, savoring the joy of reunion quietly.

  Liu Qingshan gently stroked his wife's hair, and the smile on his face became even brighter: "The feeling of home is the best!
