Chapter 1490 - It Will Explode at Any Time
The United States has to support a large number of factions, armed forces, and organizations every year, making trouble, and contributing money and guns.
American-style equipment is good, but the world likes Soviet-style equipment what opposition, more organizations, who let those who have not graduated from elementary school, or even completely illiterate factions free fighters, AK47 is more reliable and easier to serve than M16, and the reloading RPG-7 is also cheaper and simpler to use than those bazookas in the NATO system.
As for the higher-end goods... Mortars can be considered high-tech, and no matter how advanced they are, they can't be used.
The United States is producing a small amount of Soviet-style ammunition, and even American-made civilian AKs are available, but not to mention brass shell bullets, even semi-automatic imitation civilian AKs are a lot more expensive than the Soviet stocks bought!
For example, the CIA secretly supports those agents, who basically buy Soviet-style equipment through subordinates or intermediary companies, and there are very few American-style equipment.
The joint forces were in business in accordance with international law and international arms trade practices, and they generously reported to the Turks first.
Buying insurance is equivalent to spending a "toll", and after obtaining permission, the cargo ship queues up and waits to cross the Bosphorus.
There were Turkish territorial sailors on board, and even the waiting time for passage was arranged by the strait administration, and there was a bit of an accident in the middle: it was supposed to cross the strait in the early morning (civilian cargo ships carrying arms must be equipped with Turkish territorial sailors, and they were not allowed to cross the Bosphorus at night). )。
But at dawn there are Turks' own warships to temporarily cross the strait, which will have to be pushed back, who gives priority to warships, let alone the Turks' own ships.
A bunch of civilian cargo ships are waiting, and everyone is queuing up to eat fruits.
As a result, it took half a day to push, and the priority of the passage of bulk carriers in the strait was only higher than that of oil tankers, and finally they were allowed to enter the strait at more than eight o'clock.
The course and speed after entering the strait are controlled by the sailors, and the time when the big ship arrived at the No. 2 Bosphorus Bridge was not arranged in advance, and it can only be said that it is really unlucky to be smashed by the bridge!
The good thing is that by coincidence, the suspicion of the Sunshine Star Group and the United Forces, an organization capable of carrying out large-scale explosions, has been completely ruled out: who the fuck can make such a coincidence!
The two immortal escorts are being questioned by the Turkish intelligence agency, and the conclusion is that the cargo ship is unlucky and has fallen into bad luck for eight lifetimes!
The goods of the joint forces clearly belong to the Gambian government, and they are legitimate, and they are not afraid of investigation, and then they just wait to get involved with Turkey's state-owned insurance group.
But what about other U.S. companies?
This morning, Zhang Nan already knew that at least the CIA had cargo on board, and the bullets and rockets alone were in one cargo hold, and there could be hundreds of tons.
There are more other explosives, not to mention that there are friends and insiders in the CIA, and the Ukrainians have long sold the old bottom of the CIA agent to the United forces: more than 300 tons of TNT and black gold, and nearly 2,000 tons of disposed of mine explosives, some of which are ammonium nitrate explosives, and the rest are cheap ammonium oil explosives.
Explosives, in addition to wars, can also be used to open mines, and many war-torn areas are rich in mineral resources.
This is just the CIA, the United States can have more than a dozen foreign intelligence agencies, not to mention that some Ukrainians will sell the information of these customers as bargaining chips, and the port can get a lot of fame when it is loaded.
It's all mixed up in a circle, and a bunch of agents who have been pushed to the semi-public level don't know anyone, and they usually sit down and play a few Texas Hold'ems.
The captain of the Veresagino shouted to everyone to flee for their lives when the danger occurred, because everyone on board probably knew what was in the hold!
It carried 45,000 tons of cargo, more than 20,000 tons of munitions, of which no less than 15,000 tons of explosives, and the explosives and gunpowder in it added up to at least three or four thousand tons, or even more!
Just such a shipload of cargo, the cars and bridge plates on the bridge are smashed down, if any bomb goes off...
In addition to the lack of radioactive contamination, a proper atomic bomb exploded!
Fortunately, it didn't blow up, at least not now, and after the surviving people on the boat swam to the shore, they had to stay away from the strait first, otherwise even if they didn't fall to death or drown, it wouldn't be considered a safe escape.
This will zip the president felt a pain in his head, fixed his mind, and asked, "Allen, do the Turks already know what is on board?"
"If it's the Turks, then they knew it from the beginning.
If you only say Istanbul, hehe...
The idiots didn't know until four hours after the ship sank, that trouble had just begun, and that our company's escort had told them about it.
William, you only know this now, you can imagine how inefficient those guys are in doing things and dealing with crises..."
It's euphemistic, obviously the people below still want to hide it from the president.
Zhang Nan said very clearly, Turkey's strait management agency knew about this, but they were so desperate that they actually built the office building next door to the city hall!
As soon as the bomb went off, several people who knew the situation of the Vereschiggino were either killed or seriously injured.
The bridge smashed the boat, and the living wounded didn't think much about it at all, because they didn't know that the ship had sunk, they only knew that the office had been bombed, and they had heard that the bridge had been bombed.
Even if you know that a ship has been smashed and sunk, your body is in pain and your brain is not clear;
Even if the mind is clear, crossing so many ships across the strait in one day, who would think that it was such a coincidence when they were seriously injured that it was the munitions ship that sank.
So it is the Turks who know, but Istanbul does not!
Whether Zhang Nan is a big arms dealer or an arms dealer related to that incident, President Zipper feels that there will be some questions to ask his own group of aides, and it is better to ask his friends quickly, accurately, and conveniently.
"Alan, the phone is confidential, do you think the wreck will explode?"
"My friend, I'll be honest with you, I wish it had blown up..."
It was a highly confidential telephone communication, on both sides, and no one could know the content of the conversation except President Zizel and Zhang Nan.
"We all have a lot of interests in the Black Sea, so if the ship is going to be salvaged, how?
Can't catch it!
My people have seen people under you in Ukrainian ports loading at least a few hundred boxes of RPG rockets and a large number of mines on cargo ships.
You know better than I do what is limited by international law. I can occasionally be flexible here, but you can't.
Putting aside those international laws, as far as I know, many models of RPG rockets are transported with fuses attached. Not to mention those mines, the fuse was already inside.
That's what I know now, and there's more cargo that I don't know, so you'll have to ask the people down there what they're up to.
Even if the rocket fuse has a helmet on its head and the ship sinks, the underwater current situation in that strait is complicated, how to fish?
The Turks can't do it at all, and it is estimated that the whole world will need to help.
Even if there was support, if I were a diver, I wouldn't have done that job even if I quit!
I don't know when it will explode, but from my personal feeling, that ship will explode at any time!"
