Chapter 432 The first level on the way back home

The engine on the top of the Bell Helicopter was working at super power, and the rotors were spinning crazily, driving the helicopter to climb up rapidly. The people sitting at the door of the side cabin lay down directly, holding the precious camera tightly in their hands, with their mouths still in their mouths. Let out a cry of despair.

   "Oh no, I don't want to die yet!"

  Boom!

   An explosion sounded from below. When he heard this sound, the guy finally rolled his eyes and passed out.

The heavy overload of the helicopter's rapid climb, coupled with the fright, had already made him lose his intuition. The pilot in the front cabin, after all, had received professional training, did not lose his mind. He looked down and saw a cloud of black smoke in the helicopter. The original location exploded.

  What kind of weapon is that?

  At this time, he was a little strange. If it was an anti-aircraft missile, it should have followed his helicopter.

  However, no matter what it is, the following are not easy to deal with, so he has no other choice but to drive the helicopter and leave quickly.

   It feels good to be alive!

  Seeing the helicopter fleeing in embarrassment, the Ermao sentinel on deck called out excitedly: "Ula, Ula!" (I don't know if Ermao also said the same.)

  Qin Tao put down the weapon in his hand: "Keep all the second kickers, if there are any who don't have eyes, just bombard them!"

Vitalia's eyes were even starry. When she was in Mingzhou, Vitalia once saw Qin Tao kicking his feet and putting them directly with his hands. The posture was really handsome, but now, such a In comparison, it was far behind in the past, but now it is really domineering!

   "Boss Qin, you are too powerful, you scared those damned guys away so easily." Kihanin said with emotion.

   "Well, but in order to avoid accidents, we still need to quickly complete the procedures for picking up the ship, let our people come up, and then hire a tugboat to tow the ship back as soon as possible." Qin Tao said.

   "Well, after Mr. Asnayev arrives, we will go through the formalities. I will contact the customs department."

  Actually, at the time of the auction, the formalities had already been completed, and there was no need to go through those complicated procedures. The superior entrusted the auction to take full responsibility, and the documents that should be signed had already been signed.

  Now, we just need to go through a formality, of course, including customs inspection.

  Asnayev arrived here on the morning of the second day. Qin Tao and the others have been at Ermao for more than a week for this project.

   However, the final moment has finally arrived!

"Let's install the documents first." Asnayev simply greeted Qin Tao and Vitalia, then ran to Kihaninko's side to talk, and then took out a few more documents for the Those present sign.

  Customs commodity inspection personnel also came to the scene.

Qin Tao and the others had no chance to enter the sixth floor again. The staff above were responsible for putting the iron filing cabinet directly into the elevator. When they reached the first floor, the forklift drove directly to the elevator entrance and forked the iron box into the waiting truck outside. The people there are counting.

  Since everything has been arranged, there is not much trouble. Soon, all eight large trucks were filled and sealed.

  Qin Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to say something just now, when suddenly, a person shouted loudly.

"gather!"

  People kept coming out of the building, standing in the open space outside, and lined up neatly.

"salute!"

  These young men who stood up straight raised their right hands and saluted the car.

  The director of the shipyard, the chief engineer, and others all raised their hands. Although some of them were not very standard, the scene became dignified at this moment.

   They are saying goodbye.

  These materials will embark on the road to the East, and will never come back again. For them, they need to use this way to see them off.

  Some people's eyes began to turn red, and some people's tears began to drip down.

  If possible, why don't they want to complete the construction of the aircraft carrier themselves? But now, I can only look at the data and leave!

   Just sending off these materials has already made their hearts extremely uncomfortable. So, what about sending off the Varyag next?

   Makarov came to the outfitting dock again.

  Over the years, he has been running around for this aircraft carrier. At first, he discussed with Da Mao to continue the construction. Later, Da Mao finally gave up, and they began to look for buyers everywhere. Ah San once came to the door enthusiastically, but was scared away by the price. They also went to the East twice to sell, but in the end it was such a result.

  It is better to transform it into a blockade than to dismantle it into scrap iron! Makarov felt guilty when he thought of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. He was the one who was cheated!

  Now, Makarov wants the aircraft carrier to have a good home, but feels heartbroken because of its departure.

   In this complicated mood, footsteps came from behind. He turned his head and saw a large crowd coming this way.

   "According to international practice, this ship needs to mark its home port. We have registered it in Kingston first, so we need to paint the relevant marks." Vitalia said, waving to the people behind her.

  A man walked over with a long bamboo pole and an oil drum.

   Makarov's eyes widened.

The top of the bamboo pole was a paint roller, which crossed the bow of the Varyag. There was originally a 106 shipboard mark painted there. Although it was already hard to see through the rust, Makarov knew, The hull number is there.

   Shua, Shua, Shua!

  The roller was rolling fast, and the beautiful English letters were pressed on the original port number.

  KINGSTOWN!

   (I’ve seen a video of a worker using a roller to swipe a boat. It’s called flying and flying. It really is a specialization in the art industry, and it’s the best in the industry.)

   Makarov's heart felt like being stabbed by a knife. Once, again and again, he watched those big characters being painted on, and the shadow of 106 could no longer be seen, and his eye sockets began to get wet.

It's passed.

   This day will always come, but when it does come, he still feels reluctant, after all, he has never been prepared for this.

"I see, we can add a few Chinese characters at the end, how about blocking the city on the Eastern Sea?" Qin Tao suggested, and just after he finished speaking, his expression tightened again: "Mr. Makarov, Makaro Husband! Quick, call an ambulance!"

   Makarov's eyes were pitch black, and his body was slowly falling down.

  Countless people rushed up from behind, no matter what, they all respected this former old captain very much.

  Although the shipyard has been dilapidated, the shipyard hospital is still in operation, and because it can receive patients from the society, the hospital is still one of the few institutions that can function well.

   Soon, the ambulance drove over and took Makarov away. Seeing the ambulance leave, Qin Tao also felt a little emotional.

   What does it feel like? It should be like the feeling of your own child being sent away, right?

   This is just a small episode, and the next procedure has to be carried out.

  The customs officers inspected the Varyag, and then signed the documents. The ship's departure procedures are all complete.

   Woo, woo!

  A tugboat slowly moved over.

  From the outside, the most peculiar thing about it is that the helicopter takeoff and landing platform is set at the penetrating position, which is in stark contrast to the general way of placing the helicopter platform at the tail.

However, there is no way to do this, because it is a tugboat, and the tail needs to place the cables and other equipment for the tugboat, and even include a long-distance fire spray system. The middle part is the bridge, so the helicopter landing platform can only be placed in the front. .

  It is currently the world's largest ocean-going tugboat Nikola Chickel.

You can tell from the name that this tugboat belongs to Lao Maozi. The hull number on the bow is painted with Lao Maozi’s letters. If translated into English, it is a very funny SB131. However, the national flag flying on the tugboat is The unique pattern of blue and white, cross pattern and parallel strips is clearly from Xiguo!

(It took a lot of effort to find the alias of this country. Some readers strongly suggested to use the one in the rabbit that year, but there is no Xiguo in it! That’s how it is called. Everyone should know which one it is, the four ancient civilizations One of them is that they often have conflicts with native chickens.)

   This is of course because the tugboat was leased.

The "Nikola Chickel" tugboat has a full load displacement of more than 7,500 tons and a powerful main engine. In addition to the usual tugboat operations, it is also equipped with complete rescue and fire-fighting facilities, which can undertake deep-sea rescue. Various rescue missions and maritime firefighting missions; it also has relatively complete medical facilities. It can be said that it is a multi-purpose tugboat.

  And, more importantly, it was officially in service in 1989, and it belongs to a brand new ship.

However, the tugboat is not the main ship after all, and it cannot afford to support Da Mao due to its condition. Although this tugboat is used to tow large ships such as aircraft carriers, Da Mao has never run into it once in a few years. Therefore, when Xiguo Maritime Rescue Company came to request When renting, Da Mao happily agreed.

   It was not until the 21st century that Da Mao took the tugboat back.

   Now, if you want to tow the Varyag, of course you have to use this kind of high-horsepower tugboat.

  Chuanglv Company has already arranged these arrangements, and now, everything has become smooth again.

  The tugboat Nikolai-Chikel finally approached the bow of the Varyag, and two sailors stood at the stern and began to work in an orderly manner.

   Iris Lima looked at the tall aircraft carrier and said, "We can't throw the cable over, we can throw the cable down from above. The opening in front of the bow anchor chain is a good position!"

When any warship is designed, a place to be towed is reserved. Even if it is a car, there must be a place for the tow hook in the front. It is usually covered by the bumper. When necessary, open the reserved cover. Just install the tow hitch.

Ordinary warships can hang cables directly on the deck, but not the Varyag. This warship is too large, and the bow is still upturned. Therefore, under its ski jump deck and above the anchor, there are three There is an opening through which the towing cable can come out.

  While Lima was speaking, a thick cable had been slowly released at the opening over there, and their tugboat continued to fall back a little, and the cable could be connected.

   "Reserve fifty meters!" The captain of the tugboat, Dimitri, shouted cautiously.

   It is dangerous to tow such a large ship. Once it needs to slow down, their tugboat can brake by reversing the propeller, but the aircraft carrier without any power behind it cannot, and it is likely to continue to rush over and knock the tugboat over.

   So, their cables need to be longer.

   On the shore, Kihanin was also a little worried.

   "Boss Qin, is it okay to tow like this? Do you want to use a smaller tugboat in the front and put this large tugboat behind? If you need to brake, you can directly tow it backwards to brake."

When towing a large vessel, it is particular about using more than one tugboat, and the one with the most horsepower needs to be reversed and hung upside down behind the towed vessel, so that once the towed vessel needs to be braked, The tug can then move quickly, pulling back hard to provide braking power.

   Now there is only such a tugboat, I am afraid it is not suitable!

"It doesn't matter, we have confidence in the Nikolai-Chikel tugboat." Qin Tao didn't care at all, he said to Kihaninko: "When you leave the port, you still need your tugboat to help, as long as you set foot on the route , a tugboat is enough."

   The Varyag without power, no, it is now called the Oriental Maritime Blockade, quietly docked on the outfitting pier, and it is still not easy to tow it away with a tugboat.

  The tugboat from the shipyard also came to help, pushing its huge body away from the outfitting dock.

  The Dongfang Maritime Blockade is an empty shell that has no power and cannot be controlled, so leaving too many people on it is useless. However, for the sake of insurance, there are still more than a dozen crew members on this ship.

  On the bridge, Zhang Zhen looked excited.

Although on the surface it is a non-governmental commercial activity of Chuanglv Company, in fact, everyone knows the final purpose of this ship. Therefore, when recruiting the crew, Zhang Zhen came over. Because of his rich experience, he was also hired Temporarily appointed as the captain of the Dongfang Sea Blockade.

  At this moment, he was extremely excited. This ship was finally about to embark on the road back to the country. This road was destined to be uneven, but with Mr. Qin around, he would be able to overcome all difficulties.

  Thinking of this, he looked towards the shore again. At this time, Qin Tao was waving to here.

   "Old Zhang, why didn't President Qin come with us?" An old acquaintance next to Zhang Zhen said to him.

   "Boss Qin has something to do. He has to open a channel for this ship. The Tuji Strait is the first checkpoint." Zhang Zhen said.

In the calm Black Sea, there will be no danger, at most there are some helicopters trying to get close, but they are not afraid, they have a two-kick launcher on their shoulders, which can completely kill any helicopter that tries to board the Dongfang Sea. scare away.

  However, the Turkey Strait is an insurmountable hurdle.

  If you want to leave the Black Sea, enter the Mediterranean Sea, and enter the Atlantic Ocean, you must pass through the Turki Strait.

  Turkey Strait consists of the Bosphorus Strait, the Sea of ​​Marmara, and the Dardanelles. It is one of the busiest shipping routes on earth, and it is also a necessary passage for ships built by Black Sea Shipyards to go to other oceans.

  Back then, the Kiev and several other warships, bearing the title of heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, passed the Tuji Strait confidently, and the Tuji didn't even dare to fart. Even if the Red Empire was in turmoil, when the Kuznetsov sailed out, the native chicken didn't dare to say anything.

  However, the Dongfang Sea Blockade is now different.

  The return of this ship is not destined to be smooth sailing.

Of course, Qin Tao also knows this. The future is bright and the road is tortuous. Next, he will have to meet the Tuji Country for a while. Therefore, after watching the Dongfang Haiducheng leave, he plans to go to Tuji The capital of the country, to negotiate the issue of passing through the strait.

   "Miss, someone wants to see you." At this moment, Ivan, Vitalia's personal bodyguard, said.

"who?"

   "Yang Ming Shipping Company."

   "Why don't you go and see what this company wants to do." Qin Tao said.

  Yangming Shipping is a large shipping company with an official background on the opposite side. Although it was established in 1972, to be specific, its predecessor can be traced back to the China Merchants Shipping Company established in Huating in 1873. Now also belongs to the ninth largest shipping company in the world.

  If this company wants to contact, it still has to give the other party a face.

  So, they had a brief meeting in the hotel where Qin Tao and Vitalia were temporarily staying in Nikolayev City.

   "Ms. Vitalia, Mr. Qin, nice to meet you, my name is Wang Yangming."

  Hearing the other party's self-reported family name, Qin Tao became curious: "Excuse me, you are not the founder of Yangming Shipping, are you?"

   It doesn't look like it, the other party is only about 40 years old. If this company was founded 20 years ago, wouldn't it mean that he was only 20 years old at the time? In this world, the only young and promising person is Qin Tao himself, there can be no other person.

"No, of course not, it's just that my father gave me this name. It's the same name as Wang Yangming, a philosopher in our Chinese history. My father wanted me to follow Mr. Wang Yangming's idea of ​​unity of knowledge and action, and knowing and doing. Now Think about it, I am ashamed of my father's hope."

   Hearing the words "Our China", Qin Tao is quite satisfied.

   "Excuse me, what do you want to do when you come to see us?" Vitalia asked.

"Everyone, with all due respect, it is a genius idea for you to buy the Varyag to block the city at sea. However, this idea is difficult to realize. Many people have already taken action, lobbying in the capital of the country, your Fang should have no chance to drive the Varyag out of the Tuji Strait." Wang Yangming was very straightforward, it seems that he had understood Qin Tao's behavior style in advance.

"so what?"

   "So, we hope that you will sell the Varyag to us." Wang Yangming said, "We are very interested in this ship. We can convert it into a sea park for tourists to visit."

  Vitalia's face was ugly. Just now, the other party thought it was a good intention. Now it seems that she is clearly trying to take advantage of the fire, and actually wants her side to sell the Varyag?

  She was about to say a few tough words just now, but Qin Tao spoke from the side.

   "Of course, we are very grateful for your help."

  Wang Yangming was suddenly overjoyed: "Great, as long as you are willing to sell it, we can accept it no matter what the price is!"

   "We can't let you suffer, can't you?" Qin Tao said with a smile: "One billion dollars, no one can deceive you."

  At first, Vitalia was still curious, but now Qin Tao said, she realized that it was to make the other party happy.

On the surface, our side spent 18 million yuan. In fact, all parties involved, including the cost of returning home, estimated to be 30 to 40 million yuan. Now, if you sell it directly, if the other party is willing to give one billion yuan, why not? Sell?

   This change of hands made a profit of 950 million! Dad's auto trading company didn't make so much profit in a year!

Wang Yangming was very happy at first, but when he heard this sentence, he became a little annoyed: "President Qin, I came here with sincerity, please offer a suitable price, how about 50 million? Fifty million, we can give it to you immediately."

   "Sincerity? This is my sincerity, Mr. Wang, just now you said that you can buy it no matter how much money you pay, but now we offer a price, and you think it's too expensive. This is obviously because you are not sincere?"

   "This one billion, do you think we have said too much? Then we will settle the score for you!" After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Vitalia: "Let him do the calculation!"

Vitalia nodded: "At present, the industry in Magang only pays four billion yuan in profits and taxes a year, and the annual income is tens of billions. Our offshore market is very new. After opening, even if it only attracts one-tenth of the Our guests also had billions in revenue that year. Everyone, we want one billion now, but that’s not enough to show our sincerity? Without this boat, we may waste years of time if we look for other boats to renovate. In this way, our company has lost a lot.”

  Wang Yangming opened his eyes wide: "Do you really want to use this ship as a sea blockade?"

   "Then what do you think?"

Vitalia looked at Wang Yangming helplessly: "If it is not a waste of time to start building a new ship, or there is no historical background, then we can entrust Mingzhou Group to directly build an empty shell. Now we have come all the way here , just to be able to open as soon as possible, we have been authorized to block cards, and we can open when we go back. Why should we waste time on this?"

  Wang Yangming's eyes were full of surprise.

   "Okay, thank you for the reminders just now, we are now going to the capital of the chicken country to negotiate the passage of the strait. In this world, we still have to be reasonable. We are just a ship blocked at sea. Why do they stop us?"

  Vitalia and Qin Tao left, leaving Wang Yangming with a surprised face. Could it be that his own worries are superfluous, and they are really blocking the way?

  He pondered in his mind for a long time, but in the end he was still unable to make a judgment, so he reported the matter in its entirety.

  However, no matter what the purpose is, if you can stop it, you must use your relationship to stop it.
