Chapter 397 Explicit and implicit

A few days later.

  In the port of Sevastopol, everything was quiet.

  Several 877 submarines are docked at a corner of the dock. It is said that this kind of submarine has its own special dock and only docks submarines.

However, due to the chaotic management, many warships will berth randomly, resulting in no extra ports in the entire port to berth the Dubna River-class oil-water supply ship that came temporarily, so this oil-water supply ship is moored at the submarine dock. , and the B-871 submarine is only separated by a berth.

  A faint mist enveloped all the ships in the port, and all the ships looked hazy.

   "Quick, hand over the fuel pipe!" Okhlopkov shouted in a low voice.

  Someone has climbed aboard the oil and water supply ship and is untying the hose from there, and then, strapping it on the back, jumping in and swimming over.

  If it is a normal supply operation, as long as the supply rack is set up and passed through the steel cable, it can be refueled normally, but now, they dare not.

   If you make too much noise, it will be bad if someone finds out.

  They can only operate slowly and carefully. After all, at night like this, many sailors like to touch and steal things, and it would be bad if they were discovered.

  The tubing came and was stuffed into the submarine's fuel port. (I'm curious, where is the refueling port of the Kilo-class submarine?)

   On the oil and water supply ship, the sound of the manual oil pump sounded.

  Because I dare not turn on the power system, I can only use the hand oil pump to pump oil. As long as the pipe is full of oil, I can use gravity refueling to refuel the Kilo-class submarine.

   This is a long process.

  Everyone is nervous.

  Suddenly, there was the sound of crickets in the distance. This is the warning sound from the companions who are on guard outside!

   "Be careful! Everyone hide."

   Soon, there are footsteps coming.

   There really was someone who didn't have long-sightedness. This person obviously took a fancy to the oil and water supply ship that had just berthed, and wanted to dismantle some things from the ship to sell.

  He got on the boat slowly and began to look for things that could be disassembled. However, when he looked to the side, he saw the fuel pipe extended to the side of the submarine, and he immediately realized: there is a situation!

  Before he shouted, a pair of hands stretched out from behind him and covered his mouth. The next moment, the sharp multifunctional saber cut his throat.

He opened his frightened eyes wide, and at the last stage of his life, he saw a familiar figure, his mouth was open, and he wanted to shout something, but he couldn't breathe anymore, a large amount of blood poured into his throat and was killing him The alveoli are completely submerged.

  Okhlopkov's face was gloomy. He wiped his saber twice on the corpse, and then inserted it back into the scabbard.

  Arms smuggling has always been bloody.

  The body was thrown into the water and floated out with the water. It is unknown when it will be discovered, or it will never be discovered.

  The time has come to the early morning.

   "Ready to go!" Okhlopkov said, imitating a seabird and calling twice.

  The people who had just been distributed in various places gathered here, and the last person who came up untied the cable, then entered from the front cabin, and closed the hatch above his head.

  Okhlopkov stood on the conning tower, leaving half of his body behind. He took a last look at the port shrouded in night, knowing that he would never have a chance to come back after leaving this time.

  The propeller at the tail starts to turn. (There is also a saying that this B-871 uses a pump jet propulsion, I don't know whether it is true or not.)

  This mooring position is the most suitable. They can leave the port as long as they reverse the car, without any help from the tugboat.

  In the dark night, the whale-like submarine sank slowly, and Okhlopkov's body also left the conning tower. Next, they will continue sailing in the state of a snorkel.

  In the villa, Qin Tao also packed all his luggage, took a last look here, and was still a little nostalgic.

  However, I still have to go, and for a while, I won't be able to come back here.

  Xu Zhengyang walked in from the outside.

   "Everything is going well." Xu Zhengyang said: "Everyone who should be drunk is drunk, even the few people who are responsible for monitoring the underwater are drunk. The oil depot at the base will accidentally catch fire in a few minutes."

  It is too difficult to drive the submarine away from the submarine base. If it is in the country, it is absolutely impossible.

  In Lao Maozi's other fleet bases, it is also impossible. Only this Black Sea Fleet base with extremely chaotic management and no source of military expenditure can be realized.

  No one here has a sense of responsibility. They haven’t been paid for three years, and those who stay are just dawdling. Things like blowing up their own warships and selling scrap iron can happen. What else can’t happen? (Well, this sentence is to tell everyone that these plots are possible, not the nonsense of the heroes of East China.)

  Any naval base has an underwater monitoring department. After all, one has to be on guard against enemy submarines coming in. A submarine that sneaks in may destroy the main force of a fleet!

  However, tonight, those people also neglected their duties.

   After this incident is over, how many people will be dealt with is not what Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang should care about. However, considering the joint management of the base, it is possible that no one can be held accountable yet.

  No funds have been allocated for three years, no wages have been paid, what face is there to pursue responsibility now?

   When Qin Tao's car left, somewhere in the base of the Black Sea Fleet, flames were burning.

  Anyway, there is no more oil in the oil depot, and a fire will not cause great losses, it just makes the base chaotic.

   "Boss Qin, can that submarine arrive safely?" Xu Zhengyang, who drove away, was still a little worried.

  "There are always risks in doing business. If they don't arrive safely, then we will lose only 10 million yuan. We are mentally prepared for this, and we can afford it."

  Now Qin Tao is already rich and powerful, even if he takes 10 million as a bet, he can still afford to lose.

   Doing business, where can you guarantee to make money? There are always surprises.

  Qin Tao is very calm.

   On the submarine No. B-871, the twenty old men are in another mood.

   It's out, it's finally out!

   They drove this submarine out of the base. This submarine is the source of happiness for the rest of their lives!

  Under normal circumstances, sixty crew members are required to operate a Kilo-class submarine. However, that takes into account the need for three shifts. Now, these **** old men don't need to rest at all. Moreover, cabins such as the torpedo cabin can be left alone for the time being, and it is no problem for them to work in two shifts.

  As the leader of the entire operation, Okhlopkov was obliged to become the acting captain. At this time, he was on the command tower, directing the navigation of the entire submarine.

  In order to save power, the torpedo cabin is turned off, but there are also many places where power cannot be saved, such as sonar.

  The sonar soldiers who act together need to listen to the sounds outside all the time. After all, when operating underwater, sonar is the only source for them to grasp the outside world.

  Of course, what they are most worried about is the rear. If there is a sudden loud noise at the Sevastopol base, it means that someone is chasing them.

   At that time, their actions will fail, and they will be arrested and sentenced.

  However, they risked it all and were not afraid at all.

"Attention, it's almost dawn outside, we need to put down the periscope and snorkel, rely on sonar to listen to the surrounding movement, and rely on our batteries for power." Okhlopkov said: "Next, we will be in a Led by a cargo ship, they drove across the strait."

   "I heard the sound of a cargo ship!" At this moment, the sonar operator said: "At three o'clock, the distance is twenty, and the speed is not very fast, only about five knots."

  The cargo ship, the cargo ship from the nearby port, happened to be heading towards the strait!

The speed is very slow, which means that they can keep up with only a small amount of power consumption. If a high-speed cargo ship with a speed of more than 20 knots is reached, they will not dare to chase at all. When it comes to power supply, the five-day energy can be submerged underwater for a week, but at the twenty-day, it may only be able to run for three hours.

  Okhlopkov is happy in his heart, and at the same time, he is also guessing, is it the mysterious buyer behind it? This mysterious buyer arranged everything for them along the way?

   Never mind these.

  The next task is also very difficult.

In the Tuji Strait, there must be a lot of underwater listening equipment. Their submarine must be close to the belly of the cargo ship, so that the noise of the cargo ship can cover the noise of their own submarine, and they can safely cross the strait. If the native chickens find out, then there will definitely be a large number of anti-submarine aircraft dispatched, and their danger will be greatly increased.

Now, the sonar operator is listening to the sound on the water, and the submarine is constantly adjusting its direction under the command of Okhlopkov. Although it is not as thrilling as in the movie, everyone in the submarine is holding their breath took a breath.

   "Now, the cargo ship is directly above us!" After making this judgment, the sonar operator took off his earphones and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

   Another companion came over, and the sonar operator said to Okhlopkov: "Next, I want to eat something. What did we bring?"

   "Nothing else, we just found a batch of cans in the warehouse." Okhlopkov said.

  If they purchase on a large scale, they will definitely be discovered, so they can only pry open a warehouse during the refueling interval, and get a batch of canned food from it.

   "There are still cans in the warehouse? Could it be from World War II?" the sonar operator said.

   As he expected, when he saw the production date on the can, he finally shook his head helplessly.

   No wonder it was not sold by the warehouse manager, because no one wants this thing. As long as it is not starved to death, no one wants to eat this thing.

  During the brutal Great Patriotic War, Lao Maozi almost fought on an empty stomach. Later, a large number of canned food from the United States came to aid, and the soldiers of the Red Empire could finally eat canned luncheon meat, which was despised by the Americans.

  At the same time, Lao Maozi himself is also producing canned food. The raw material they use is mainly fish. After all, this thing can only be caught with a net, which is much faster than growing grain and raising poultry.

   Moreover, it is very simple to make cans. Cut the fish into several sections. After cooking, it can be directly put into the can and sealed.

   In this way, when eating, it is the same as opening a blind box.

  The sonar operator sighed, and used a multifunctional saber to pick open the lid of the can. Sure enough, there was a big fish head inside, grinning at him.

  He was very unlucky and got the most unpopular fish head!

  However, some food is good.

  He picked up the fish head with a bayonet and put it in his mouth. He didn't know how to cook it. The whole fish head, including the bones, could be chewed and eaten. In addition to supplementing nutrition, it could also supplement calcium.

The whole Kilo-class submarine smells like canned fish. This smell mixed with the smell of diesel will make people who enter here for the first time sick, but for the submariners, they have long been used to it. up.

If you want to live a comfortable life, only nuclear submarines can satisfy you. Moreover, it must be a super giant like 941, with a swimming pool inside, so that sailors can enjoy life happily in it, and the nuclear reactor of the submarine also has sufficient capacity. electricity to produce large quantities of fresh water.

   Now, just endure it.

   Just as they were crossing the Tuji Strait, Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang also took a plane and flew to Europe, then hired a helicopter here, and flew directly to the floating dock of the Shenzhou, which was returning with a full load of supplies.

  The launch of this floating dock has attracted the attention of many people, and helicopters circled on it to take pictures. However, after a few days, these onlookers lost interest.

   After all, this is just a normal transaction. Even the Americans don’t pay much attention to the transaction of diesel-electric submarines. The old man has already sold Kilo-class submarines to many countries. This kind of submarine technology has long spread.

  Yang Xin and others took these photo-taking helicopters as a kind of pastime in boring sailing, but when Qin Tao was about to arrive, they were all surprised.

   "Mr. Qin, welcome to our Shenzhou, we have prepared a special cabin for you to live in." Yang Xin said to Qin Tao with excitement.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Well, where to live is secondary. Is there any extra fuel on our floating dock?"

   Extra fuel? Yang Xin looked at Qin Tao with some surprise: "In order to prevent accidents, we brought an extra thousand tons of light diesel."

  Qin Tao was very happy: "It's really good!"

   Nice, what's so good about it?

   "Now, show me the logbook." Qin Tao continued: "According to the original plan, when will we arrive near the Madeira Islands? We need to be precise about the time, and we will arrive at midnight two days later."

   Two days later, arriving at midnight?

  Yang Xin didn't know the reason for Qin Tao's series of arrangements, but since Qin Tao said so, he could only follow through.

   "The time is about the same, we just need to slow down a little bit. If you are sure to do this, we will adjust our speed immediately."

"I am sure."

  Two days later, at midnight, near Madeira.

   "Now, take this as the starting point and make a figure-eight sail on the sea." Qin Tao said.

  Yang Xin looked at Qin Tao with surprise in his eyes, Mr. Qin, what do you mean? This is a floating dock, not 022. How could this kind of ship perform acrobatics at sea?

   "Also, supervise those old Maozi experts and don't let them come up to the floating dock."

   There are old Maozi experts on board, but they all stay on the Kilo-class submarine, and they will solve problems at any time if they encounter problems.

  The floating dock has high sides on both sides, so as long as Lao Maozi's experts don't come out of it, there is no problem.

   "They are all asleep on the submarine." Xu Zhengyang replied.

  Qin Tao nodded.

  The huge Shenzhou floating dock performed a figure-of-eight performance on the sea surface. After finishing, it started to do the second and third ones.

   After finishing the three, even Qin Tao was a little worried. Those old men must have encountered an accident, right? He looked worriedly at the dark sea, listening to the sound of the water.

   Then, amidst the sound of rushing water, an abnormal situation appeared on the sea surface. Just to the left of the huge Shenzhou floating dock, a huge shark was surfacing.

  Yang Xin opened his eyes wide, watching all this in disbelief.

   That is a submarine, and, judging by its appearance, it is very similar to the two they transported!

   "Today's weather is really good, the wind and the sea are calm, if the wind and waves are too big, we probably won't be able to resupply it, quickly, pull the oil pipe over there!" Qin Tao said excitedly.

  At this time, the hatch of the submarine had been opened, and the people inside showed half of their bodies, looking this way.

  Xu Zhengyang picked up the flashlight and shone it on. The light flickered on and off, both short and long, all of which were pre-agreed secret signals.

   "Put down the lifeboat, I'll go over and negotiate with them." Xu Zhengyang said, he had already finished his makeup again.

  The lifeboat is not small, it can hold more than 20 people, not only Xu Zhengyang, but also more than 20 submarine soldiers who were originally left on the floating dock. At this moment, they are all very excited.

  The small boat rowed past, and Xu Zhengyang stepped onto the deck of the B-871 submarine. Opposite him, Lao Maozi's sailors couldn't wait.

   "Here is the remaining five million. You can leave on this small boat of ours. To the east is Morocco. You can pass through the Western World ahead. We have also prepared a new identity certificate for you."

  The box was opened, and it was full of green coins. In Xu Zhengyang's hand, he was holding a stack of brand new ID cards.

  Looking at these things, Okhlopkov swallowed.

   Bet right!

   These guys don't have guns, so they won't be killed after they get off the boat, dollars, passports, it's all real! A better life is beckoning to them!

  Thinking of the life they will live in the future and the huge wealth of one million dollars, they are extremely excited.

  The people brought by Xu Zhengyang have already started to pull the refueling pipe quickly with their hands and feet, and started the refueling operation.

The Kilo-class submarine has a maximum range of six to seven thousand kilometers. It departs from the military port, crosses the Black Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. When it arrives here, the fuel in the fuel tank has been consumed by more than half. If you fill up the fuel here, you can drive all the way to the Indian Ocean. There will be other ships to pick up there, and after refilling the fuel again, you can drive back all the way.

   This submarine can no longer be carried by a semi-submersible ship, so it can only be driven back.

   At this time, Okhlopkov and others got the money and were already planning to go down. At this moment, Xu Zhengyang spoke again.

"Although a million dollars is a lot, there will always be a time to spend it. If you want to continue to make money, you can stay and help us operate the submarine. However, if you stay, you will have to keep it a secret for the rest of your life. Can't leave our country."

  Go to the Western world, spend time and drink, or go to a certain country and continue to live?

  Most of the old men chose to leave, but there were two old men who stayed, one of them was a sonar operator, and the other was an engineer soldier.

  With these two people staying, the long sea voyage will be even safer.

   On the calm sea, the two boats were floating with a distance of about 50 meters. The refueling pipe was constantly refueling. Two hours later, everything was settled.

  The huge submarine got into the bottom of the sea again, and the floating dock of Shenzhou continued to return. On the bridge, Yang Xin, who had witnessed all this, concealed his inner shock and looked at Qin Tao with adoring eyes.

  Obviously, the submarine that drove back has a different origin from the two submarines that were transported back!

  Boss Qin is really amazing, there is nothing he can't do!

  Yang Xin didn't ask too much, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. He even had to warn the crew that no matter what he saw tonight, he had to keep his mouth shut. If he said anything, he would spend the rest of his life in a chant.

  Boss Qin came to their boat just for this matter. Now that this matter has been completed, shouldn't Boss Qin go too?

  Who would have thought that Qin Tao would actually stay on board the entire time, following the cargo ship around the outside of the African continent.

  For the sake of safety, this floating dock did not take the Suez Canal, after all, the shipping route there is too busy.

  Qin Tao stood on the top of the boat bridge, and would sing a familiar melody.

  "The bell rang the signal to go home, and in his life, there seemed to be a bit of embarrassment."

"Mr. Qin, you sing really well." Yang Xin said emotionally from the side: "You are really an all-rounder. Even if you become a singer instead of a boss, you can become popular all over the country. Zhang Xue has everything you need to stay in Germany." Can't compare to you."

   "Old Yang, what you said is wrong." Xu Zhengyang teased from the side: "You compare Mr. Qin, the pillar of our country, with those actors? Is this comparable?"

  Yang Xin's face changed: "Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."

   "Zhengyang, don't be naughty anymore, you are going too far." Qin Tao said to Yang Xin: "Look, how scared Lao Yang is."

  Yang Xin realized that it was Xu Zhengyang who was scaring him, so he couldn't help shaking his head.

  There was laughter and joy in the boat bridge, and the Shenzhou floating dock continued southward, and finally came to the rainbow country at the southern tip of Africa.

   "Let's go ashore from here, and then take the passenger plane back." Qin Tao said.

  Yang Xin finally realized that along the way, the African countries along the coast are too backward, and there is only the Rainbow Country, which was the only developed country in Africa back then, so it is most suitable to take a passenger plane from here.

   "Well, I'll make arrangements." Xu Zhengyang said.
