In front of us is a huge naval base, but this bay has never been managed by the Filipino monkeys themselves since its use was realized, and has been in the hands of the Spaniards, the Japanese, and the Americans for more than a hundred years. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In 1868, Spanish colonists opened it as a military port, and after the Spanish-American War in 1898, the U.S. Navy gained access to the bay.

Beginning in 1904, the United States invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build a large number of buildings here, expand military facilities and living and entertainment venues, and Subic Bay gradually developed into the largest military base of the United States overseas.

During World War II, Japan wrested control of Subic from the United States, and the Americans did not regain it until 1944.

In 1947, in the face of the already independent Philippines, the United States signed a military base agreement with it, confirming its right to continue to use military bases in the Philippines.

During the Korean War and the Vietnam War, Subic Bay became an important logistics support and military equipment maintenance center for the U.S. military.

As far as China is concerned, this Subic Bay naval base and the Clark Air Force Base dozens of kilometers away have been like two sharp knives staring at their stomachs for decades -- they are less than 1,500 kilometers away from the southeast coast of China in a straight line, not to mention the South China Sea as soon as they leave the bay!

The view of the bay from Zhang Nan's room is the best, and he also brought several binoculars with him this time, which is very worthwhile to observe the warships in the harbor.

There were not only aircraft carriers in the bay, but also several frigates, cruisers, and nuclear submarines, and Guan Xingquan, who had only been observing for more than 10 minutes, was holding an eightfold telescope to observe, and found that a huge warship had appeared at the entrance of the bay in the extreme distance, and was sailing into the harbor.

There was an eighty-fold monocular observation telescope in the box, which was immediately set up, and after it was set up, Zhang Nan took a closer look, "It's a Missouri-class battleship, with a board number of 63, and it's the USS Missouri." ”

With large ships and huge guns and nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, Subic Naval Base is self-evidently important to the United States.

After watching it for an hour, this curiosity was also satisfied - I have to sigh that the strength of the US Navy in the 80s is worthy of its name!

It's dinner time, and it's time to dine in the hotel's restaurant.

Hanson Bruce said that there are a number of bars and nightclubs near the base, which are convenient for people who want to go - everyone here has a U.S. passport, and in those bars they are "good people" and have a special taste in the bars.

And as long as you have dollars, you can be here!

If you don't want to go outside the base, there are bars in the base, but there are far fewer tricks inside, completely military-style, and the supply of spirits is limited.

Zhang Nanke knew what was there, and he wasn't interested, so no one planned to go.

"Usually you don't like to go to a new place to see what's new, why can't you go this time?"

Xiang Weirong finished eating, took a toothpick and picked his teeth, and said casually.

Zhang Nan smiled and said: "There is one thing that people must not do in this life, that is, my brother-in-law and brother-in-law go to the red light district together, haha... We're here for your good!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, Xiang Weirong reacted half a second later, and smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Nan could figure out with his toes what the bar near the US military base was like—he had a normal aesthetic and was not interested in Filipino female monkeys.

However, after dinner, Zhang Nan did not go to sleep immediately, leaving Chen Hao, who volunteered to "take care of the house", and a group of people walked around the base.

American GIs are indispensable at US military bases, but more people encountered along the way are actually black and thin Filipino natives, and many of those American GIs are actually wearing civilian clothes.

It was obvious that the discipline was not good.

The base is already connected to the city of Subic outside, and there are many people walking out this night.

Zhang Nan and his group also crossed the guard post to hang out on Filipino territory, and Hanson Bruce said that as long as you bring a U.S. passport, you can enter the post casually, and if you drive, you need a pass.

However, seeing that the American sentries are actually very lazy, as long as they look like Europeans, they don't check their documents at all when they go in and out.

Although it is a living area, this kind of safety work is lax enough.

Guan Xingquan said: "Military discipline is lax. ”

"This is an American GI, and you think it's you?"

Zhang Nan teased Boss Guan that only those core areas can be regarded as heavily guarded by the virtue of large overseas bases of the United States.

However, for Guan Xingquan, even the core area of the bay is still too loosely guarded -- the hotel can comfortably observe the situation of the military port, and on the other side of the bay, the air port where military planes constantly take off and land, is separated from the perimeter by a row of barbed wire.

Guan Xingquan said in dialect: "If it was in wartime, a dozen of us would be able to make this base jump once, American soldiers, hehe.... ”

When Zhang Nan heard this, he said: "It's unlikely, if it was in wartime, the management here would definitely be much stricter." ”

Guan Xingquan shook his head, "It's useless, although this is a good port, but the terrain and topography are good, it is too convenient to do some damage." The point is that there are too many services nearby. ”

Zhang Nan is not an expert on this, he is too lazy to say it, and he is not very interested.

As he walked, there was a neon sign in front of him - good guys, several Filipino girls in bikinis were picking up customers at the door of this nightclub.

Enthusiastic and unrestrained, but she looks a little too ugly -- let's call her a "girl," but in fact she looks more like a terrorist! She is dark and frustrated, and the high heels she is stepping on are 20 centimeters, so she is not afraid of falling to death.

Zhang Nan said to Hanson Bruce beside him: "You used to go there often?"

Hansen smiled: "I have a normal sense of aesthetics. ”

"Not like that!"

Zhang Nan still has the ability to observe words and colors, and it can be seen that Hansen should be very familiar with this place, because of the eyes.

As soon as the boss said this, Hansen Bruce said helplessly: "Okay, boss, I used to come here a few times a month." My wife is not there, so I can't help it. ”

Zhang Nan smiled, turned to everyone and said, "Feel free to go, I'm too hungry to see too much." ”

Whether they want to go or not, everyone returns to the hotel in the base. Zhang Nan is right, except for Hansen, the Filipino indigenous women here are really unappetizing.

As for Hansen, everyone will not laugh at him: after a few years in the army, he still knows the old saying that the sow is a sable cicada.

Although there was an Asian face like Zhang Nan when he passed the sentry post, the sentry still didn't ask.

......

Early on the morning of the 28th, four SUVs arrived in the valley of Mount Pinatubo and saw several large trucks loaded with barbed wire.

The first thing to do when setting up a base is to isolate the area that should be fenced off.
