"Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Communications?"

Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded when he heard this, although he could feel that these people were leaders, but the performance of the old Yu at the beginning made Zhuang Rui not look at it much, but he didn't expect Ouyang Lei's introduction to be a deputy ministerial-level cadre.

You must know that although there are many departments in the country, the Ministry of Communications is definitely the department with real power, and if the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications is put in the locality, it is likely that it will be a big official of the party.

However, Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled, although Ouyang Lei has a very high level in the military, he will be one level higher than the deputy minister of a state department, and the two sides are not a system, so there is no need for the minister to be so complimented by Ouyang Lei, right?

"Hello Minister Yu..."

After being stunned, Zhuang Rui hurriedly stretched out his hand, in terms of age and level, the other party is a few streets higher, of course, he must be polite.

Although Zhuang Rui looks down on each other a little bit, he has also been mixed in society for several years, but he will not show it on the surface.

"You're Xiaozhuang, right? I didn't expect you to be so young, the head of the euro, this is really a tiger...... ,…”

When shaking hands with Zhuang Rui, Vice Minister Yu only stretched out one hand, but the smile on his face was very refreshing, and when he was talking to Zhuang Rui, he didn't forget to hold Ouyang Lei.

"Xiaozhuang, you did us a great favor some time ago, and you have justified our country's deep-sea salvage business, on behalf of the Ministry of Communications, I would like to express my gratitude to you!"

Although Vice Minister Yu's words are not lacking in an official tone, with his status and status, he can say these words to Zhuang Rui, it is definitely for Ouyang Lei's ............ Or rather, the face of the euro family.

Vice Minister Yu's respect for Ouyang Lei "Naturally, it is inseparable from the old man of Yuquan Mountain and the current core Standing Committee, but it is not all like this."

Anyone can see that with Ouyang Lei's age, it is a sure thing to enter the Standing Committee of the Military Commission in the future, and it is not impossible to become the first vice chairman of the Military Commission" If that is the case, Ouyang Lei can be called a national leader.

It is precisely because of this that Vice Minister Yu put his posture so low, and in front of the representatives of the Ouyang family, who have been so strong in both military and political terms, this is also a very normal move.

"Don't dare to advance, this is what I should do," ..."

Zhuang Rui didn't know why, he spit out a very old-fashioned sentence in his mouth, and he felt awkward after saying it.

"Hmm" young people are not arrogant or impatient, no wonder they have made such great achievements, by the way, the Song Dynasty shipwreck you salvaged last time is also an inspiration for some aspects of our country's deep-sea salvage, and some related expenses, you can apply for reimbursement of the ...... "......"

Vice Minister Yu is showing favor to Zhuang Rui, what kind of enlightenment and the like, it's all nonsense, this is mainly to Zhuang Rui agreed to add the name of the Ministry of Communications to the salvage party at that time.

"Minister Yu, I have received my kindness, but the cost is over......"

Zhuang Rui shook his head and politely declined Vice Minister Yu's kindness, he knew that even if the Ministry of Communications reimbursed himself for some expenses, "at most, it is only one million yuan, compared with his own investment, it is simply a drop in the bucket."

And Zhuang Rui knew that the government departments were extremely procrastinating, even if there was a leader urging him, he didn't know when the money would be taken out of the financial department, and he was not short of this money, and he didn't want to find this trouble.

"Huh? or Xiaozhuang style is high,"

Vice Minister Yu was stunned by Zhuang Rui's words, he originally wanted to use this as an excuse, and then go to talk about the following things, but he didn't expect Zhuang Rui to not want this money at all" It made Vice Minister Yu unable to say the following words.

"Brother Lei, what is the reason for calling me here?

Zhuang Rui will feel a little impatient, "This officialdom can't get straight to the point, ah?

"Minister Yu" It's better for you to say it, although the military will also participate this time, but it is mainly the ...... led by your Ministry of Communications."

Ouyang Lei shook his head and did not answer Zhuang Rui's words, if such a thing were to be said by him, it would not be in line with his identity, if this matter didn't involve Zhuang Rui, Ouyang Lei would not have come forward at all.

"Ahem, Xiaozhuang, that's it,"

Vice Minister Yu's face was a little red, coughed and continued: "Xiaozhuang, you also know, for thousands of years, the sea does not know how strict the sinking of merchant ships, recently the Ministry of Communications intends to clean up the relevant sea areas in Fujian, I want to ask for your help........."

Vice Minister Yu's words are half-truths and half-truths, Zhuang Rui salvaged the Song Dynasty shipwreck, although the name of the Ministry of Communications was signed, but people with a discerning eye know that this is the Ministry of Communications, and the salvage has nothing to do with them, so the pressure on the leaders of the Ministry of Communications is relatively great.

Therefore, after a meeting and consultation, the ministry decided to salvage a historical shipwreck with great influence, but it was not very technically sure. That's when I found Zhuang Rui.

"Vice Minister Yu, if you have something to say, please say it directly, the kid who can help must be duty-bound"""

Zhuang Rui pursed his lips slightly, and said Liliang words, but he was very disappreciative in his heart, when his buddy is a three-year-old child?

"Well, that's right, Sho, have you ever heard of the name Awa Maru?"

Vice Minister Yu was a little embarrassed by Zhuang Rui's words, and he didn't go around in circles, and directly said the main purpose of his visit.

"Minister Yu, are you talking about the Japanese ocean-going tanker that sank in the national sea in the sun?"

Just before Zhuang Rui could answer, Professor Meng, who was sitting on the side, suddenly stood up and asked Vice Minister Yu.

Vice Minister Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it is the shipwreck, we want to salvage it this time, this shipwreck is of great historical significance, so I want to invite Xiaozhuang to "......"

"Wait, Minister Yu, as far as I know, this wreck has already been salvaged, why do you want to salvage it again?"

Professor Meng interrupted Minister Yu Lei's words a little rudely, and then said: "It's been almost thirty years, and I personally participated in the salvage of the Awa Maru back then, and I still remember it vividly...... ,…”

"Ahem, Professor Meng, since you participated in that salvage, you should know that due to technical and weather reasons, only part of the hull was salvaged at that time, and many controversial things were not salvaged from the bottom of the sea......"

Vice Minister Yu's words were a little vague, and he did not specify what exactly it was that was not salvaged, but Zhuang Rui understood.

Although Zhuang Rui's archaeology is not focused on modern vehicles, as long as you know a little about the Japanese Awa Maru, anyone who knows a little about history has heard of it, and Zhuang Rui also knows a lot about it.

The Awa Maru is a Japanese ocean-going tanker built in the forties of the last century, the ship was launched on March 5, 94, nominally a merchant ship, but it is built in accordance with military performance and requirements, no matter in terms of scale, nature, performance, it is a military ship in the real sense.

At that time, the merchant ship of the same type as the Awa Maru was transformed into a light aircraft carrier, but it belonged to the Nippon Yusen Shipping Company, and it traveled to and from Japan and Singapore six times to deliver supplies for the Sixth Army.

During this period, the Awa Maru was bombed and torpedoed by U.S. troops, but it still completed its mission, so it was praised as an "unsinkable ship" by the Japanese military.

During this period, in order to improve the situation of prisoners of war, in 944, the United States and Japan reached an agreement to provide humanitarian assistance to personnel in Japanese-occupied areas.

Japan and the United States converted the Awa Maru into a transport ship to transport relief supplies, and in order to be sure, the two sides agreed: "Awa Maru" dismantled the anti-aircraft guns and naval guns in the bow, removed the soldiers, and painted a green cross on the hull of the ship for easy identification.

In the 945s, for Japan, which had exhausted its maritime power, the "Awa Maru" was their trump card transport ship, and the Japanese government was not willing to use it only to transport relief materials, which laid the foundation for the disaster of the "Awa Maru" in the future.

In February 945, the Awa Maru made a death journey from Mojiminato, Japan, to Singapore, and other Japanese-controlled areas.

At this time, Japan's naval fleet was almost completely incapacitated, and the "Awa Maru" became the only Japanese giant ship in the Pacific Ocean that could sail safely, and it was also Japan's only hope for transporting materials and personnel in the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, Singapore, Jakarta and other Japanese-controlled areas were already embattled, so Japan's high-ranking officials and generals in Southeast Asia, wealthy businessmen and their families scrambled to board the ship, and finally the original design of the freighter with 6 passengers was squeezed into OO9 people!

As soon as the "Awa Maru" arrived in Southeast Asia, it entered a state of strict secrecy. It was only when night fell, under the watchful eye of the Japanese military police, that the mysterious cargo was transported to the ship's hold, and on March 8, "Awa Maru" left Singapore and embarked on a voyage home.

However, in the middle of the night on 1 April, while passing through the waters of Fujian, the Awa Maru was torpedoed by the US submarine "Queenfish", and the "Awa Maru" sank three minutes later.

With the exception of one survivor, the OO8 has since sunk to the depths of the sea, containing war criminals who have committed crimes, high-level professional and technical personnel, as well as the elderly, women and infants. The Pacific Ocean has given birth to the largest shipwreck in history!

More than half a century has passed, and the survivors of the time have passed away, and there are many doubts about the Awa Maru, but of course, the most eye-catching thing is the huge wealth that has been widely circulated on the ship. !~!
