Chapter 206 The Little Titanic Yacht

   Baker Street is an old street. Those antique buildings have a history of hundreds of years. In the past, high society people lived here, and the famous Sherlock Holmes once lived on this street.

   It's a pity that the British police in this era are not very good. This unlucky Rodriguez is not a black uncle. As for being cut off? Therefore, people like Qin Tao will definitely not be suspected. Generally speaking, those who attack that place must be couples who broke up, and women who are dissatisfied will click all of a sudden.

   It is estimated that this Rodriguez is here, and he really has a good relationship, so it was a mistake.

  Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide, looking at the TV screen, she suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that Wei Na took it seriously?"

  Qin Tao said that if anyone speaks ill of him behind his back, he will cut off that person. Vitalia also heard it at that time, and then ordered him to go on?

  No one else, it must be Rodriguez who said bad things about Qin Tao.

  However, no matter what, this matter is over, and it will rot in the stomach in the future, so I can't bring it up again.

   "Brother Tao, next, do we want to change the country? Anyway, we have already visited here, so we must hurry up during this honeymoon period."

   "Okay, shall we go to France or Germany next stop? France is romantic, while Germany is rigorous. These are two completely different countries." Qin Tao introduced.

   "Germany, don't you have that business card? Let's go to the German shipbuilding department to see, what if we get something back?"

Although I came out for my honeymoon, I have to do something to spend money like this. Today, Qin Tao has already bought a lot of good things, and he sent them back by courier. When he arrives in Germany, he may be able to get some more good things Woolen cloth.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Well, let's go to Germany."

   "By the way, Brother Tao, why don't we go through the embassy?" Zhao Ling asked Qin Tao amidst the noisy voice of the TV.

   "Through the embassy? Don't pay attention to those materials. We are now a private behavior, and then it will become an official behavior. Which one do you think is safer?"

  Qin Tao brought Zhao Ling to spend his honeymoon, and he went to see the defense exhibition by the way. He didn't come here to collect information. If he gave it to the embassy, ​​he didn't know how many eyes would be caught.

the next day.

  Qin Tao and Zhao Ling saw Vitalia in the restaurant of the hotel.

   "Vina, there is something I want to tell you." Zhao Ling said to Vitalia while eating breakfast.

Vitalia smiled and looked at Zhao Ling: "Zhao, I also have something to tell you. Sorry, I received a call from my father. He is going to Germany recently, so I will go to Germany too. I can stay with you two days at most before I have to fly to Germany."

What?

  When Zhao Ling heard this sentence, her eyes widened, and Qin Tao's mind was also thinking rapidly.

   Could it be that Vitalia overheard the conversation yesterday?

   It shouldn’t be. The volume of the TV has long overshadowed the volume of the two people’s communication. Even if there is a bug, they can’t hear it. After all, there is no advanced digital technology in this era to distinguish the mixed voices.

   Besides, Vitalia's father didn't need to make a special trip to Germany just because of himself. He must have something more important, probably to contact someone in Germany, and take a look at his daughter by the way, right?

   "By the way, Zhao, what do you want?" Vitalia looked at Zhao Ling again.

   "We, we also feel that the UK has finished traveling, and the next stop is to go to Germany."

   "Okay, drop by." Vitalia said, "When are you going to leave?"

   "We were going to leave today."

   "If you're not in a hurry, we can take a boat and enjoy the sea scenery by the way." After Vitalia finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Tao: "Anyway, you are also on your honeymoon."

  Qin Tao nodded: "Then let's take the steamer. After dinner, we will book tickets."

   "No need to book a ticket." Vitalia said.

  What, no? Then how to take a boat?

  Vitalia smiled: "My family has a yacht, it's just over there at the port, let's drive the yacht over there."

  Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide, what, a private yacht?

  Qin Tao felt even more emotional, the privileged class among these old men started to transfer wealth a long time ago! In the 1990s, there was a private yacht, which was definitely at the level of the rich!

   After eating, several people came to the port, and Qin Tao was even more surprised when he saw the yacht.

  At first, Qin Tao thought that the yacht Vitalia mentioned was a small boat of tens of tons, without a roof, with only a few seats and an external engine at the rear, just like those big flying boats.

   At this time, what appeared in front of their eyes was a Faraday 500 yacht!

This yacht has a beautiful appearance, with railings at the bow, and the cockpit is one or two meters behind. The black glass extends all the way to the rear, and it is empty when it is one or two meters away from the tail. The back is not closed, and there is a Stairs lead to the top terrace.

  The overall length of the yacht is close to 16 meters, and the width reaches five meters. Therefore, its biggest feature is its spaciousness!

   "Let's go, go up." Vitalia said.

  The person who had been bodyguarding Vitaly Adam also came up. So far, Qin Tao has not communicated with him. Watching him walking around and starting to make preparations for sailing, it seems that he will still sail.

Qin Tao took Zhao Ling and boarded the boat from the stern. The first thing he saw was the outdoor activity area. There were folding stairs next to it, which could extend into the sea water. It was used as a platform for diving and swimming. You could also step on the stairs above. Go up to the top platform to sunbathe.

  Enter the enclosed interior of the yacht from the stern, the first is the living room, with a leather sofa, a pull-up table, and a combination stereo.

  From this living room forward, there is the dining room and kitchen, and after the past is the pilot cabin and cockpit, with stairs extending downward beside it.

"The upper part is the public activity area, and the lower part is the private activity area. There are two completely independent cabins and bathrooms in total. If you want to play slowly, we can also stay at sea for one night, and we can go to the German port tomorrow evening. said Vitalia.

  Although Qin Tao is a shipbuilder and has been in contact with many ship types, he has never built this kind of private yacht. Now, he actually has the feeling that Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.

  What do you say, we go back, we also want to build yachts!

  Based on the catamaran, build a larger and more comfortable catamaran yacht! Qin Tao secretly made up his mind. Anyway, the navy's orders are not many, and the No. 1 dock has not been able to operate at full capacity.

  Thinking of this, Qin Tao pointed to the phone beside him: "Can this work? I have to make a call."

   "Of course, this is a maritime satellite phone, call as you like."

  So, Qin Tao made a comfortable phone call with China and ordered them to design a catamaran luxury yacht. After putting down the phone, he suddenly remembered: who will sell it to after it is built? Do those who get rich first have the financial resources to buy luxury yachts?

   Forget it, let them design it first, making it is another matter, so as to save them from being idle.

  Light-colored oak furniture, angular sofas and thick carpets, and walnut veneer interiors can be seen everywhere, making people feel the luxury of this yacht.

   "Let's drive over directly, this yacht is too luxurious." Zhao Ling said.

   "If you are all right, then we will stay at sea for one more day. Although I can't swim, I like fishing at sea. There are diving equipment on the yacht, and you can also dive."

  Qin Tao shook his head: "No, forget it!"

   "We're leaving!" The person in front shouted.

   "Okay, let's drive directly to Bremen." Vitalia shouted.

  The two D2876 engines at the rear started, and the crisp sound of the high-pressure oil pump came to Qin Tao's ears. Just by listening to the sound, Qin Tao could guess the approximate parameters.

  Each engine has at least 700 horsepower, and two are 1,400 horsepower. If you drive this yacht, it should be able to reach a speed of 30 knots.

   "Should I go up or to the front?" Vitalia asked.

   "The upper area is bigger, right?" Qin Tao said.

  The yacht has slowly left the port, and many ships can be seen passing by around. In this dense channel, you need to be careful.

  Of course, this is what the bodyguard and captain should consider. The other three, sitting on the open-air upper deck of the yacht, enjoying the surrounding scenery, are still very cool.

  It would be even better if it was July and August. Now it is the end of September, and the weather is a little bit cold, but when the sun shines down, it can still make people feel very comfortable.

   "By the way, does this yacht have a name?" Zhao Ling asked Vitalia.

   “Yes, my dad called it the Little Titanic after he bought it last year.”

  Little Titanic? Why does it sound like a spoof?

  In Qin Tao's mind, a picture of the movie Titanic appeared, but no matter what, he couldn't connect with the yacht in front of him. On the foredeck of this yacht, you can't do that classic action.

   "I really envy you rich people." Qin Tao said.

"Qin, you are also a very capable person. If you want to buy a yacht, it should be easy. This yacht is only 10 million. However, your domestic environment may not be suitable." Vitalia said .

   "Yes, it should be no problem if I want to buy it, but I don't think I need to buy it, I can just make it at home."

  Vitalia laughed: "Qin, you are always so funny when you talk, by the way, let's have some wine, I'll go down and get it."

   "I'll go with you." Zhao Ling said.

  The two girls went down the stairs and walked into the cabin, while Qin Tao looked out at the sea. At this time, they had left the English Channel and appeared in the North Sea.

Although it is located in a high latitude area, the westerly wind prevails all year round and the North Atlantic warm current regulates it. It does not freeze in winter and the temperature is not high in summer. It is a very good sea area suitable for tourism. After November, there will often be big storms on the sea. , It may even cause certain losses to the coastal countries, but overall it is still good, especially, during the war that year, this place was almost the back garden of German submarines.

   At this moment, looking at this sea area, Qin Tao felt a little relaxed and happy.

  Wait, what happened in front?

  Qin Tao looked at the sea in the distance with a little surprise. There was a sea bird flapping its wings and landed, and then stood in the sea. This is completely impossible. Could it be that there are reefs there?

Qin Tao grabbed the marine binoculars in front of the deck, looked over, adjusted the focus carefully, and he could see more clearly. The seabird was squatting on something, and that thing had just emerged from the sea. , close to the surface of the sea, in the sparkling sea water, it is really hard to see clearly without a telescope.

  The distance is about 500 meters.

  Qin Tao frowned suddenly, the seabird was not stationary, but still moving, which meant that the thing stepped on below was moving!

what is that?

  Qin Tao can roughly guess it.

   "Damn it, there seems to be a submarine floating below!" Qin Tao shouted loudly to the bottom: "Quick, get ready to dodge!"

   While he was talking, the seabird was getting higher and higher from the sea surface! The periscope cylinder below is getting longer and longer, and then there is something bigger: the submarine's conning tower.

"Oh, **** it!" In the cockpit of the yacht Little Titanic, the bodyguard and captain immediately looked forward after hearing Qin Tao's warning, and then saw the conning tower of the submarine, and slammed into them fiercely up!

  He was shocked immediately. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters! He subconsciously beat the rudder in his hand to death, and the hull of the Adada tilted violently.

   Crack, crack! Two voices came from below, and Qin Tao also became anxious. Will Zhao Ling and Vitalia be safe?

  Thanks to them going down, at most the wine bottle was broken. If on this open deck, a full rudder action, the hull tilted, might be thrown down.

   At this moment, Qin Tao felt emotional in his heart, but afterward, he heard a voice that made his ears go soft.

   Squeak, squeak, squeak!

  What is this sound?

  The sound from the bottom of the yacht, the yacht has rubbed against the bow of the submarine!

  Then, the yacht began to tilt even more, and Qin Tao's expression also changed.

Now their yacht is sailing at full speed, with a speed of nearly 30 knots, not slow at all. A full rudder movement will definitely make the yacht tilt at a large angle, but it will never turn the yacht over. After all, the yacht is designed At that time, the full rudder at full speed was considered.

   But what if, at full speed and full rudder, something hangs on the bottom of the yacht?

This is hard to say, the current yacht continues to tilt at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it turns 90 degrees, Qin Tao has been thrown from the open deck, and after he falls into the water with a plop , Going to see the yacht again, the bottom is already upside down!

  Qin Tao's heart was startled, he swam quickly towards the yacht with both hands and feet.

   There are three other people in the yacht turned upside down. My wife is the first to be rescued. As for the other two...

Just when Qin Tao swam to the stern of the yacht, a string of bubbles appeared there. Qin Tao was overjoyed, took a deep breath, and plunged into it. Then, he saw Zhao Ling dragging Vitalia came out, and Vitalia's mouth was still spitting out bubbles.

  The bodyguard and captain also swam over from there, and several of them dragged Vitalia together and lifted her out of the water.

  When the heads of the four people were exposed on the surface of the sea, the submarine was already in a submerged state. Fortunately, it did not escape directly, but slowed down, turned, and circled around the yacht that had the accident.

   On the submarine, the hatches were opened one by one, and some people came out. When he saw the clothes of those people, Qin Tao was a little curious.

  Blue-black military uniform, yellow skin, black hair, not as tall as the West, although he can't see the other party's armbands and other signs clearly, but compared with the submarine that caused the accident, Qin Tao can probably guess what it is.

  Kimchi's navy!

  They appear here and still operate the 209 submarine, so what else to say, they must be one of the customers of the 209 submarine.

  Kimchi State signed a contract with Germany worth 1.67 billion U.S. dollars in 1987 to introduce nine 209/1200 submarines and name them the "Zhang Baogao" class. The first submarine entered service in 1992, and now it is the end of 1991, so this submarine has already been built and is being tested in the North Sea.

   As a result, when I was floating, I hit my own yacht!

   This name is really particular, you can't have that kind of unlucky name, have you seen the consequences now? Got knocked over.

  The Titanic hit an iceberg, and the Little Titanic hit a submarine, they are both unlucky couples!

The four were dragged onto the deck of the submarine dripping wet. After seeing that Zhao Ling was fine, Qin Tao felt at ease. Vitalia drank a few sips of water, but nothing serious happened. After all, it was not the first time she fell into the water. experienced.

   "It was you who saved me again." Vitalia's face was a little ugly, but she was still able to joke: "It seems that we will not be able to meet at sea in the future."

"It's fine, it's really unlucky this time." Qin Tao looked at the sailors, and then at the one with the highest rank among them: "Hey, Smecta, we are going in, find an independent space , provide us with four sets of your clothes. Regarding compensation, let’s go in and talk about it.”

   Cui Shaoyuan, head of Kimchi’s navy, frowned: “I’m sorry, this submarine, you can’t…”

   This is the most advanced diesel-electric submarine in their country! They spent a lot of money to order 209 submarines. The first one was built in a German shipyard, and the next few ships were built in their own shipyard. The people they sent were all carefully selected, Who would have thought that such an accident would happen.

  In Europe, a yacht here crashed and sank, and it was obvious at a glance that it was a son of a noble and rich family. This is not a small basket.

  However, the other party wants to enter their submarine, how can this work? Before they came, they accepted strict requirements. Except for the people from the German shipyard and them, no one else could enter, and the confidentiality policy must be strictly implemented.

What now?

"No? We have two ladies, they are like this, can't they go in and change? What if they are sick like this? Smecta, do you know who her father is? You can't afford this responsibility!"

   After finishing speaking, Qin Tao picked up Zhao Ling.

  The bodyguard hugged Vitalia, followed behind Qin Tao, and walked towards the hatch. When he reached the hatch, Qin Tao went down first, and then called Zhao Ling to go down.

  Four people got into the 209 submarine like this.

   "The power cabin at the back should be warmer. All your engineers, get out of the power cabin. Immediately, immediately!" Qin Tao shouted: "Also, four sets of clothes, bring us!"

  The 209 submarine is highly modernized and only needs 30 or so people to operate it. There are only two or three engineers in the back. After being yelled at by Qin Tao, they actually flinched and left the power cabin.

  Cui Shaoyuan had no choice but to send four sets of clothes, nothing else, they were all sailor uniforms of their navy.

  Qin Tao put on his clothes quickly, and then looked at the bodyguards: "Let's go out and let them change."

  The bodyguard nodded: "OK."

  Outside the engine room, Cui Shaoyuan was a little anxious: "You guys changed your clothes, can you come out? That's the engine room."

   "It's the warmest there. We two ladies change into your clothes, and we have to dry the original clothes before putting on the original clothes. You clothes are too ugly."

  Cui Shaoyuan was about to shed tears: "But, but..."

"Tell you, our status is noble, you can't afford it, this accident is all your responsibility, now, if you can't satisfy us, don't even think about driving this submarine back smoothly! "

  The bodyguard clenched his fist there and clucked.

   Those who come out on a yacht to hang out must be powerful and powerful. These people in Kimchi Country don't dare to mess with them at all!

   "Why doesn't your submarine have people from the shipyard?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

  Generally speaking, the shipyard and the army are responsible for the equipment during sea trials. Qin Tao was a little curious that there were no Germans from the shipyard on this submarine.

   "Today is Sunday, and the people in the shipyard don't go to work, so we want to operate it ourselves and get familiar with it..."

  Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart, so it turns out that these guys, without the company of the shipyard, launched the 209 submarine. Is this against the regulations? Taking advantage of this opportunity, you must definitely blackmail them!

   "That yacht, which was bought for 20 million last year, was damaged by you just like that. In addition to the mental loss of us, you have to compensate us 30 million!" Qin Tao said.

thirty million?

  Where did Cui Shaoyuan do this, he almost knelt down to Qin Tao.

"If you don't give it, then we will see the court. This is a submarine that caused trouble. Before the court makes a final judgment, this submarine will be seized." Qin Tao said: "At most, it will be a lawsuit in three to five years, and we will wait Slow play!"

  If it takes three to five years, then they will be sad, and it will become a joke.

  However, the people here, they can't afford to mess with them! And this matter is indeed their fault.

   "This matter is very important, and I have no way to decide it personally. After returning to the shipyard, I need to report to the country." Cui Shaoyuan said.

   "Then please hurry up, if you can't give us an accurate answer tomorrow, we will go to the court to see you!"

  Qin Tao put down these words, felt that the people inside had almost changed their clothes, opened the hatch, and returned to the engine room.
