Chapter 609 July 1st

  June 30, evening.

  Both sides of the street are full of people. Their eyes are full of expectations, looking towards the direction of the port. They all hold red flags in their hands, and they all have a voice in their hearts.

   After waiting for hundreds of years, this day is finally here!

  Time passed little by little, and suddenly, the sound of military music came from the port, and everyone became more excited when they heard the familiar melody.

  The light of car lights appeared in the distance, and the rays of light illuminated the dark night sky and illuminated the way home for everyone.

The roar of the engine sounded, and the first Jiefang brand truck appeared in front of everyone. On the back of the truck, there were neat soldiers standing. They were wearing brand-new 97-style military uniforms and holding brand-new 95-style rifles in their hands. Starting today, they will be stationed at the Pearl of the Orient, which also declares that this place has returned to the embrace of the motherland!

  Army, Navy, Air Force, the vanguard of a total of 509 people, riding in 39 vehicles, slowly moved forward, everyone's eyes were wet, and their mouths were shouting slogans.

   "Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

   Hey, no, not only the eyes are wet, but the clothes seem to be wet too? They looked up at the sky, where the drizzle was falling.

  The soldiers in the car remained motionless, letting the rain wet their clothes. In this way, at 10:25 that night, they entered a certain military camp for the transfer of defense.

   Heading south to Hong Kong...

  July 1, 1997 at 0:00:00, the whole world watched this exciting moment! The flag of a certain country fell, and the flag of the motherland slowly rose to the flagpole. Even, because of the guilty conscience of the other party, when the three flag bearers were walking, one of the flag bearers took the wrong step and swung the wrong arm!

   The drizzle is still falling. This rain will last for more than 20 days, completely washing away the century-old humiliation!

  On the aircraft carrier, everyone was watching the live broadcast in the hangar. At this time, they were only 50 nautical miles away from the Pearl of the Orient, almost within easy reach!

   "Did that guy go wrong on purpose?" When seeing the uncoordinated movements of the flag bearer, someone immediately complained: "They are so serious on such a serious occasion!"

"Of course it wasn't intentional. This will only make the whole world see their jokes." On the island of the ship, Qin Tao looked at this picture and was also very emotional: "This person who walked in the wrong footsteps is obviously guilty of guilt and panic. He is representing the country behind him, hum, the sun never sets, it’s long past tense.”

   "Yes." Wu Shengli said with emotion: "Only when the motherland is strong can we achieve territorial integrity. Compared with the crying country, we have full confidence."

   "It's raining outside, it's not good for our show tomorrow." Li Yan was worried about another thing.

"In the rain, we can better show our mighty and majestic division." Qin Tao said: "We took off a helicopter and broadcast the grand occasion of our fleet passing the Pearl of the Orient in the sky above the formation for the whole world to watch. Look at our mighty navy."

   "We're going to steal their limelight!" Wu Shengli felt a little funny.

  They passed by the open sea and were arranged temporarily. Without them, the original army would be the focus.

"How is it possible? We are all here to show the strength of the motherland." Qin Tao said with a smile: "Besides, most citizens will still visit on land. Our naval formation, with the No. 666 leading the battle, is also Very cool."

  At the beginning, after seeing Mingzhou Group’s strong shipbuilding capabilities and novel designs, the navy specially asked Mingzhou Group to build a special warship stationed in the Pearl of the East, so Qin Tao moved out the design plan of 056.

In the original plan, the Navy planned to send Type 037 II missile boats to the Pearl of the Orient. This missile boat is the base of the torpedo boat. Later, it was modified with missiles. Its full load displacement is 520 tons. It can also be called a missile frigate. Its biggest feature , that is, on both sides of the middle and rear of the hull, a three-piece "Eagle Strike"-8A ship-to-ship missile launcher is arranged on each side of the hull.

  For the Pearl of the Orient, the navy specially placed an order to produce several ships, but it looks too old.

Now, the brand-new No. 666 frigate is even more attractive. The displacement of this warship has been expanded to 1,000 tons, and it looks more beautiful. It adopts the most popular stealth design, and the superstructure is facing inward. Received, it embodies the latest shipbuilding technology in the 1990s. Although there is no helicopter hangar, it still has a helicopter take-off and landing platform at the rear.

   Only one such warship has been built so far, and it is specially prepared for the Pearl of the Orient.

At six o'clock in the morning of the next day, the main force stationed in Pearl of the Orient set off. The army and air force set off together with 400 vehicles, 21 armored vehicles and six helicopters. The naval ships also dispatched at the same time. .

  In the drizzle, frigate No. 666 started to move, and everyone on the warship was excited.

Behind them, followed by two Type 037II missile boats and two Type 022 missile boats. The formation of five warships attracted a lot of attention during the voyage. Far away, there were yachts from the Pearl of the Orient watching, and the cameras The flashing lights are constantly blooming.

  The formation is so beautiful!

   In the lens of the TV, there was also a mighty and spectacular picture. Suddenly, the picture turned and switched to the formation sailing in the nearby open sea.

"Dear audience, what we are seeing now is the fleet returning after performing missions in the southern waters. Currently, they are passing through the open sea. The entire fleet is magnificent. It is centered on the 001 aircraft carrier in the center, with two 051Cs and four 054s outside. A frigate, an integrated supply ship, and now, on the deck of our aircraft carrier, the soldiers have already posed in human shapes, let's zoom in and take a look."

  The deck of the aircraft carrier is neatly lined with carrier-based aircraft. In the center of the deck, there are a group of soldiers in white military uniforms. They use human bodies to form a digital pattern.

  1842-1997!

  The picture taken in the sky is very spectacular. Under the rain, this picture adds a sense of beauty. When it appeared on the TV screen, countless people were moved with emotion.

"beautiful!"

   "It's spectacular!"

   "It started in 1842!" The old people sighed with emotion.

  Outside the room, on the side of the street, the most popular music sounded this year.

   "I ring the five-thousand-year-old bell time and time again with love. You use love to wake up a dream that has been sleeping for a hundred years, water the gorgeous redbud flowers with warm currents, and blow away the icy cold wind with warmth..."

   This day belongs to the Pearl of the Orient, belongs to the East, and belongs to everyone who looks forward to the unity and strength of the motherland!

   "Sigh, this day has passed like this, I'm really not reconciled." Seeing the formation sailing through the waters of the Pearl of the Orient, watching the formation continue to sail north, Li Yan couldn't help but speak.

   "Not reconciled? Then what do you want to do? Let's dock at the Pearl of the Orient port and go down for a walk?" Qin Tao said with a smile.

   "Dock the Pearl of the Orient? Can it dock?" Wu Shengli was also interested.

  The aircraft carrier is a big guy, with a draft of more than ten meters. If the water depth of the port is not enough and the berths are not enough, it will not be able to dock at all.

However, in this era, there are a lot of such considerations. After all, the giant merchant ships in the world often weigh 100,000 tons, or even hundreds of thousands of tons. It is necessary to build berths of more than 100,000 tons. Taking the country as an example, there are 70 to 80 such commercial ports, which theoretically have the ability to dock aircraft carriers.

Of course, this is only in theory. In reality, the aircraft carrier will not berth at an ordinary merchant port, which will seriously affect the normal operation of the port. Moreover, once the aircraft carrier goes to sea, it must not be alone. It must be accompanied by a group of escorts and For the supply formation, if these warships berth together, it will be a huge challenge to the merchant port.

At this time, Qin Tao nodded with a smile when he heard Wu Shengli's question: "Of course it's no problem. The port of the Pearl of the Orient is much larger than that of Ma's port. Before returning to us, it often docked with American aircraft carriers. Either the Kitty Hawk class or the Nimitz class can be docked."

Not only before the reunification, but even after the reunification, these American aircraft carriers often docked. After all, although the Pearl of the Orient has returned, its positioning has not changed. It is still an international free port. Moreover, the US aircraft carrier formation docks , The sailors who have been drifting at sea for several months also have to go ashore for consumption, which can make the Pearl of the Orient gain commercial benefits.

  Of course, if the US aircraft carrier wants to dock, it needs to be approved. Unless the Americans have gone too far, they are usually allowed to dock.

   Several people were chatting, and the first officer came in with a document.

   "Report, Victoria Harbor sent us an invitation to dock at their port for the citizens of the Pearl of the Orient to visit."

   Invitation to moor? For the public to visit?

  Wu Shengli was stunned for a moment, he was still joking just now, when the real time comes, he still has to be cautious!

"The Pearl of the Orient has just returned, let them come up to visit now, what if there are people with ulterior motives?" Li Yan's attitude is firm: "Our most advanced warship in the navy is not for people to visit! "

   "If we can drive over and let people visit, it will definitely be able to better demonstrate our national prestige and military might and the strength of our motherland." Qin Tao said: "I think we can go over and show it."

   "Then what if something goes wrong?"

"We put all the carrier-based aircraft into the hangar. The deck is empty. The personnel who step on our aircraft carrier can only visit the deck and cannot go to other cabins. They can only feel the power of this warship, and they cannot do anything. Any damage." Qin Tao's brain was running fast, and various arrangements were also eloquently said: "At the same time, in order to avoid adverse effects on the commercial operation of Victoria Harbor, we do not anchor at their ports. The anchor is anchored near the port. Citizens who want to visit the aircraft carrier have to take our shuttle boat. When boarding the shuttle boat, we will check their documents. Anyone who has just obtained the Pearl of the Orient passport in the past year , especially those obtained in the last one or two months, we use various reasons to refuse them to board the ship."

   "Why?" Everyone became curious.

   "Because most of the passports obtained during this period are not our real compatriots, but people with evil intentions."

  The people of a certain country brought out the characteristics of the shit-stirring stick to the fullest. When they ended the rule that the sun never sets and left the world, they planted powder kegs for all parts of the world. The constant disputes on the South Asian subcontinent are the root of the disaster left by that year.

   Qin Tao doesn't get involved in other matters, but such a person with evil intentions cannot be on the aircraft carrier.

  Wu Shengli nodded: "So, are we free to visit?"

"Of course it's free, how can we charge for it?" Qin Tao said: "However, since they are boarding our feeder boat, they always have to burn oil, so they can just pay for the oil, and, In order to avoid leaking secrets, they cannot bring cameras. If you want to leave precious photos on the aircraft carrier, you have to ask our professional photographers to help take pictures, and leave the address, and mail them after they are developed. This photo We will charge you the price of the Pearl of the Orient for the cost and the cost of washing and mailing."

  Pearl of the Orient is an international metropolis with high income and high consumption. As long as it is charged according to the prices here, it is not a small fee.

   "By the way, before boarding the boat, I have to say something..."

  Wu Shengli nodded: "I can't make the decision, I have to report to the capital."

  Qin Tao smiled and shook his head: "Dad, since you are on the aircraft carrier, why are you reporting to the capital?"

   Sure enough, ten minutes later, the capital called back: Regarding related matters, please ask Leader Wu to decide!

  Wu Shengli shook his head helplessly, did he really let himself decide?

   "Since the citizens of the Pearl of the Orient are so enthusiastic, we can't disappoint their kindness." Wu Shengli said: "We accept the invitation of Victoria Harbor and anchor outside the port according to Mr. Qin's plan!"

  No. 001 has come to the Pearl of the Orient, and it is moored outside Victoria Harbour!

  The warship is still open, and citizens can visit it for free!

  The news spread throughout the Pearl of the Orient at noon that day, and countless people became excited.

   The rain was still falling, but this did not stop people's enthusiasm, and soon, there was a long queue at the port.

  The role of the feeder boat has come into play, it directly limits the number of people who can board the aircraft carrier! If it is directly parked at the port, countless people will rush in, and the gate may be directly collapsed. At that time, the entire deck of the aircraft carrier will be densely packed with people!

  While waiting, countless people held up their cameras and looked at the aircraft carrier in the rain from afar, taking blurry photos with a sense of beauty.

  Of course, there are also some people who come with a special purpose.

"Hmph, every time the US aircraft carrier comes, it always docks at the port, and it is open for us to visit during holidays, but their aircraft carrier is docked in the water, and we have to pay for the boat ticket. This is clearly looking down on us! Yes! An insult to us!" A person in line said: "Everyone, don't go up, after we go back, let's talk about this to the reporter!"

   "Hey, your sentence is wrong." A citizen who was waiting to visit immediately spoke.

   "No, what's wrong?"

"It's ours, not theirs. The American aircraft carrier was open before, but tickets were required to go up. Our own aircraft carrier only needs a ticket for the barge, but no tickets. Which one is better? say?"

   "That's right, that is, our aircraft carrier, just wait as long as we can, we are not afraid to wait! We have waited for more than a hundred years before the aircraft carrier becomes powerful."

   This person with ulterior motives did not continue. He used the wrong sentence just now, which caused these people to look at him in the wrong way.

   Look for another chance next time!

  After a long queue until after four o'clock in the afternoon, it was finally the turn of this group of people.

   "Now, we need to check everyone's documents and register." The person on the shuttle boat said.

   "We have waited too long to step on our aircraft carrier to see!" The people in line excitedly handed over their certificates.

   "Okay, please say one more word, and you can board the ship."

   "What words?"

   "I am Chinese, I love my motherland!"

   "Okay, okay." The man said excitedly: "I am Chinese, and I love my motherland!"

"No, no, how can you do this, you are deliberately making things difficult!" The person with ulterior motives shouted: "Board the ship, board the ship, why do you still shout this sentence, this is discrimination, it is an insult to our personality !"

I am Chinese! This sentence touched the opposite scale of the opponent.

   "Discrimination, aren't you Chinese?"

  The person with ulterior motives handed over his ID: "That's right, I'm from the Pearl of the Orient!"

  "Huang Ming?" The person in charge of the inspection looked at the certificate issued half a month ago, and he understood something in his heart: "You are a typical white horse, not a horse?"

   "Why isn't a white horse a horse? A white horse is the best horse, a nobleman among horses!" Huang Ming replied.

   "Is the Pearl of the Orient now Chinese?"

   "Yes." Although the answer to this sentence is unwilling, it is the truth.

   "If you are from the Pearl of the Orient, then you are Chinese. Why does this sentence insult you? Are you a foreigner?"

   Looking at the yellow-skinned and black-eyed person in front of him, the person in charge of the inspection was full of disdain.

   "I'm from the Pearl of the Orient, I'm from the Pearl of the Orient!" Huang Ming shouted loudly, "You're forcing me to say I'm Chinese, otherwise I won't be able to board the ship. This is discrimination!"

   "Where did you discriminate against?"

   "We from the Pearl of the Orient are Chinese. Is there anything wrong with that?"

   "That's right, although we are a special zone, we can't be special!" The people behind began to shout.

   "If you don't want to call yourself Chinese, then leave quickly, don't delay our boarding!"

   "Hmph, I won't let this matter go! I want everyone in the Pearl of the Orient to know your ugly face!"

   "Hmph, scum!" Looking at Huang Ming's leaving back, the people waiting in line behind spit, and everyone could see what this person was thinking.

  The commotion on the pier also aroused Qin Tao's interest, and he asked, "What happened over there?"

"I just received a report. There is a man named Huang Ming who refuses to shout that sentence. This kind of person is definitely not a good person. He is a bad person hiding among the citizens. If this kind of person boards our aircraft carrier, we don't know What kind of moth is going to happen." Li Yan said: "Boss Qin, your method is very good!"

For some people who have firm evil thoughts in their hearts, such words are very lethal. They have a trouble with a certain year, spread a portrait of a certain master on the ground of the station hall and allow people to step on it, and then enter Shouting a slogan every now and then will be able to find out those believers. Those who refuse to step on or shout must be weird.

  However, since this person is Huang Ming, and he doesn't even dare to shout a slogan, then it is probably close to ten.

   "Zhengyang, I'll give you something to do and send a message to Vitalia."

"yes."

  After hearing Qin Tao's whisper, Xu Zhengyang was stunned: "Boss Qin, just because he refused to shout a word, you will..."

   "If you don't get rid of this kind of person, there will be big troubles in the future. Anyway, Vitalia did it, so it has nothing to do with us." Qin Tao said.

  Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Yes."

  July 1st was a wonderful day. Many people were so excited that they could not sleep in the middle of the night. The Pearl of the Orient finally returned to the embrace of the motherland, and the powerful fleet of the motherland was still docked outside the Pearl of the Orient!

  And some things that happened in the southern waters were also discovered by the media. The next day, the newspapers were almost full of the same news: the century-old shame is gone, our motherland is strong!

   The light rain was still falling, beating on the huge warship.

   "Dad, are you suffering from insomnia?" Qin Tao, who was resting in the same cabin as Wu Shengli, couldn't help but speak when he heard Wu Shengli's tossing and turning voice.

"Yeah, I can't sleep. I'm thinking about the future strategy. Will we be regarded as a new enemy by the Americans when we show our swords like this? After the collapse of the Red Empire, they couldn't find an enemy for a long time. There's a source, I think, that we're going to be in trouble."

"Dad, you are worrying for nothing." Qin Tao said generously: "Now, the mainstream of the world is peace and development. Even if we have some small frictions, it is too insignificant. Moreover, the Americans will soon New enemies will be found."
