Chapter 337: The Domineering of the Star-Spangled Banner

In May, the weather in the North Sea off the coast of Germany was really good, and the sun was shining, and the "Sunshine Star" left the mouth of the Elbe River, and an hour later it left the territorial waters of West Germany, and maintained a cruising speed of 14 knots to sail westward.

The loading operation went smoothly in the past few days, and the last batch of munitions was loaded onto the yacht this morning, leaving behind eight bodyguards who had arrived from New York, and the yacht set sail in accordance with the greeting made yesterday with the port authorities.

Returning the car, paying the rent of the dock, and paying the utility bills are naturally solved by the bodyguards: it is not that there are not so many people on the yacht, but there are not so many people to protect them at all, and the bodyguards will take a civil plane back to New York.

After waiting for the yacht to arrive at the pier of Long Island Manor after more than ten days, some of the guys were busy.

The outdoor temperature is about 10 degrees, and it is still a little cold for Zhang Nan to drink the northwest wind outside, and there are no two guys like Alyosha and Jin Wenbo who are not afraid of the cold for the time being, as soon as they enter Beihai, they will run to the sun deck to bask in the sun: Zhang Nan hid in the restaurant on the second deck and ate a belated Chinese food.

Unfortunately, after sailing together in the early morning, Zhang Nan, a guy who never gets motion sickness and is fine on a speedboat, turned out to be a little seasick!

Lying in the room until 12 noon didn't get up to get rid of the damn seasickness.

And this seasick man is very strange, he doesn't want to eat anything just now, and he will be starving to death again.

The two chefs on board are standard, and one of them went to New York's Chinatown to study Chinese food for more than half a month according to the requirements of the headhunter - this time Zhang Nan eats authentic green pepper beef tenderloin and stir-fried broccoli.

Two bowls of rice are comfortable.

"Brother-in-law, next time I'm going to ask the chef to go to Andy Luna to learn to pickle salted radish, this will bring a few pieces of sesame oil salted radish, hiss... Absolutely cool!"

Xiang Weirong was reading an English-language magazine on the sofa next to him, which was delivered by FedEx, with a detailed account of the 14 March Nansha naval battle made public by the Chinese Military Commission at the end of last month, and some comments from the Americans.

"Don't tell me that! If there's a turnip, I'll pickle it myself. ”

Xiang Weirong has been able to read in English, and as soon as he listens to his brother-in-law's words, this hazko will come down.

He also misses the taste of his hometown.

"Hey, forget about this ballast, don't you know how to pickle radishes and pickles, I knew I went to the supermarket to buy radishes a few days ago. ”

I was so busy that I forgot that my brother-in-law's pickled radish level was average, but the pickled pickles were superb: this is a very strange phenomenon, some people no matter how much effort they put into it, the pickles taste not fresh, and some people make them casually, and the pickles are the best!

Xiang Weirong belongs to the latter - a few years ago, my sister would always send some pickles from her brother-in-law to her family, because Zhang Nan didn't have that taste at home.

It's better than the taste you buy in the market.

Naturally, you don't have to tidy up after eating, and the waiter left behind does this.

"Let's go, go up and have a look. ”

Above, that's where the wheelhouse is, and this should be the first mate Jamie on duty, and Captain Philip didn't sleep all night last night. The night voyage on the Elbe was under the captain's personal command, and that was one of the busiest river voyages in the world, and the captain did not dare to take it lightly.

"Go ahead, I'll take a look down there. He has entered the high seas, and yesterday he agreed with Xingquan that he wanted to try those German things. ”

The Germans' stuff, of course, is arms!

Although the 9mm Parabellum bullet and the 7.92mm Mauser heavy tip bullet are not valuable, dozens of boxes were still shipped out when they were finally transported, but I felt that it was a pity not to bring some original goods back.

Brother-in-law and Brother Guan wanted to have a good time, so they just used it: Zhang Nan didn't have the heart to go to the bridge now, and immediately went to the sun deck.

As soon as I got out of the restaurant and looked down, I saw that the good guys, not only their own bodyguards were all there, but even Captain Philip and Jenny were all joining in the fun.

On the deck, there is a folding long table that I don't know which cabin it moved from, on which MG42 machine guns, G43 semi-automatic rifles, STG44 assault rifles, EMP44 people's submachine guns, and Luger P08 artillery models are lined up!

Not only that, but when transporting ammunition at the end of the mine, the bodyguards also found five boxes of 15 rare VG1-5 people's assault rifles, one on the table, and two 98K sniper models of the same famous MP40 submachine gun, both of which were also found in small quantities in the mine.

All the crew, including Mr. Captain, turned a blind eye to this: at the end of the voyage, the most ordinary sailors and attendants would be given a cash prize of $20,000 and would know how to keep their mouths shut.

Zhang Nan and Xiang Weirong came together, and the bodyguards greeted the two of them, and the "boss and squad leader" made people feel weird -- they felt like a big drug lord in Central and South America.

"Philip, is there a problem with us doing this? This should still be in the exclusive economic zone of West Germany. ”

Looking into the distance, you can see a ship in the distance, which is estimated to be an ocean-going cargo ship.

Philip smiled and said, "Boss, we are out of the territorial waters of the Federal Republic of Germany, there is no problem."

And this trip will sail directly to the United States, without stopping the boat on the way. ”

These days are familiar, the two no longer use the overly formal "sir" to call each other, Zhang Nan feels more comfortable; As for Philip, there are rules on the ship, but in addition to sailing, the boss of other things is the biggest!

At this time, Philip also made a very confident gesture, pointing to an American flag planted in the stern of the yacht, "Boss, your ship is flying the Star-Spangled Banner." ”

Yes, now only the Soviet Union can occasionally wrestle with the United States on the ocean, and after two years, the Soviet Union is finished, and in the next 20 years or so, few countries will dare to wrestle with the superpower of the United States at sea.

This is the self-confidence of the absolute number one military power on the world's oceans: On the high seas, only the Americans have arrogantly inspected the civilian ships of other countries, and I have never heard of any country's warships daring to inspect American civilian ships flying the Stars and Stripes on the high seas!

If the sailors and captains of the Chinese civilian ships want to have such self-confidence, the country still has a long way to go!

Moreover, many of the Americans' civilian ships already carry guns, so as long as they do not enter the territorial waters or ports of other countries while carrying arms -- or do not take them out if they are carrying.

Besides, the other ships are not interested in seeing what guns you are playing with, even if you just put them away if a West German warship passes by.

However, since the boss had concerns, Philip still used the intercom in the boat to ask the wheelhouse.

"Boss, the radar shows that there is only one cargo ship within 10 nautical miles, and the course of that ship is north, it should be to Norway. ”
