Chapter 1649: Captain Jack's Joke

Sure enough, he slept for more than two hours, and it wasn't until Zhang Nan got up and washed up, and the waiter came to the small dining room in the suite with breakfast, that the butler Tom told him that there was an earthquake in Los Angeles.

Nicole got up together, but women, picking up their own kung fu is a bit long, and Zhang Nan doesn't need to wait for her to dine together.

"Sir, Mr. Thomas and Mr. DeBoson have called before, and the company's temporary rescue team in the Los Angeles area has been mobilized to temporarily send Miss Yasuko and Miss Martha by helicopter to the villa near the National Park in Laguna Beach before dawn.

Both Beverly houses needed to be sorted out and inspected, as transportation was blocked, and company helicopters were able to evacuate several Beverly Hills connections.

So far, Columbia Pictures has known that employees have been injured, but they are not serious and the number is not large, and no employees and family members of the company have died for the time being. ”

Zhang Nan nodded and understood, the north side of Beverly Hills is the notorious San Fernando Valley, and the most luxurious residential area in Los Angeles is close enough to the center of this earthquake.

Those mansions are earthquake resistant, but it is inevitable that the sky will shake during an earthquake, and it is estimated that the entire Broadman who lives in Beverly Hills is trying to find a way to evacuate.

But the roads in Los Angeles are definitely bad enough, and those viaducts are a lot of ruins, and helicopters are the best option.

There were not many people killed in this earthquake, and the property damage was large, so the company was able to pull out a helicopter and run it twice to send away those big guys and first-line stars who had a good relationship.

Tom no longer disturbed Zhang Nan's meal, and as he was eating, he saw Charlize Theron coming in in a hurry, and said, "Brother, there is an earthquake in Los Angeles!"

A little in a hurry.

"It's okay, I knew before dawn, they were fine, but they were shocked and sent away. ”

Saying that, he motioned for her to sit down, "The company is dealing with it, 6.6 level means, that is, you don't go to Los Angeles this month, it's a bit messy over there." ”

Charlie saw the news of the earthquake when she was about to go to the restaurant for dinner in the morning, and she couldn't get through to call there, so she came to Zhang Nan to listen to the news.

It's okay, and it's not her turn to worry about the rest.

Seeing that his brother was eating peacefully at the beginning, he said to the housekeeper who had not yet left, "Tom, help me get one too." ”

"Yes, Miss Charlie. ”

Two days later, preliminary damage from the Los Angeles earthquake was announced, and although the intensity was moderate, the economic damage was staggering.

By this point, the earthquake had temporarily killed 58 people, injured nearly 10,000 people, and left almost 25,000 homeless.

The houses are gone, there are more than 4,000 buildings that have been completely reimbursed and seriously damaged, and many viaducts have been finished, with an overall loss of more than 30 billion US dollars!

Los Angeles was hit hard, but this had little to do with Zhang Nan, but the "United Forces" was in the limelight again, and the company once again organized an outstanding and effective rescue, coupled with the front-line reports of the United Television Network, the influence reached a new level.

The rich trust it, the politicians look at it well, and the ordinary people feel that the "united forces" can be relied upon!

Spend a little money and make some effort to consolidate a positive image, and this account bag will not lose money.

Los Angeles was busy with disaster relief, and on the 20th, Zhang Nan went to The Gambia, because the new flagship of the Gambian Navy, the cruiser "Komsomol Member", was about to enter the ranks!

One of the great wonders of the world's navies, the micro-states have built a cruiser with an astonishing attack power, which is more exaggerated than the entire dreadnought of the South American countries before the First World War.

Just when the big boss of Star International is looking strange at the cruiser that nominally belongs to the Gambian Navy but is actually his own big toy, in the Arabian Sea in the northern Indian Ocean on the other side of the African continent, James Cameron and Captain Jamie Bostwick are also watching the strange.

The "Deep Diver" was sailing at a slow speed of four knots on the sea 120 nautical miles east of the Oman coast, and the two work boats and two rigid assault boats had already been lowered and fanned out in the north of the large ship.

The director and the captain stand on a small platform on the port side outside the cockpit, and in the cockpit, it is the first mate who will direct the whole ship.

Next to them stood the veteran World War II sailor Ed Landis, all three of whom were holding goggles and looking to the northwest sky for something.

Today, the Arabian Sea is clear and the dry air from the Arabian Peninsula and the Horn of Africa makes it rainless all year round, and even the northern states of Gujarat and Rajasthan in Pakistan and India, which are blown away, are dry and desert everywhere.

The wind and waves on the endless sea surface are not large, and the wave height is less than one meter, which is suitable for sea operations and is also suitable for airdrops.

"See!"

Jamie's eyes were good, and he found a bright spot in his glasses, which was the An-22 giant transport plane that had been connected for a while - the transport plane would eventually fly 2,000 kilometers away, and the coral island in the northern part of the Maldives, which the company had leased for 50 years a few years ago, to transport a batch of supplies there, just in time for the airdrop mission.

From a cruising altitude of more than 7,000 meters, it continued to decline, and for the sake of airdrop accuracy, it didn't care about burning more fuel, and the huge An-22 dropped to an altitude of 800 meters.

The rear boarding bridge has been opened, and three tightly packed airdrop packages are lined up one at a time and pushed out of the rear compartment one by one.

The guide parachute was dragged out first, and then huge parachute flowers appeared in the air.

At this time, in the cockpit, the first mate was talking to the captain on the plane with a walkie-talkie: "Hard work, the next will be handed over to us, I wish you a safe journey!"

The An-22 retracted the rear boarding bridge, and then quickly raised the nose of the plane at an angle far beyond the climb of a civil aircraft: needless to say, the 100% driver of this big guy is a hairy crew, fierce enough!

This is the sentence that popped out of the mouth of Cameron on the platform unit: "It's good that the time is in time, otherwise I think they will throw that technician down with them!"

Because of two consecutive flight delays, before the "Deep Diver" set sail from the port of Fujairah the night before yesterday, the blaster technicians who had set sail from Nizhny Tagil finally arrived, either the salvage ship would send a helicopter to pick up the people, or throw another one down.

The old sailor, Ed Landis, just smiled, and Mr. Captain Jack suddenly thought of something funny, and said, "The skydive is fine, I'm afraid that those people on the plane will tie him directly to the bomb bag and throw him down."

A passable parachute for a single soldier costs a few dollars, and the sea water is useless as soon as it is soaked.

However, "

It seemed like a bit of a problem, because there was half of the Russian crew on the ship, and Jamie had to add: "It's okay to joke about this, but don't be too serious, or beware of someone inviting you to an amateur boxing match." ”

The other two rolled their eyes, and the captain himself said that who else would be so boring?
