Chapter 179: The Aircraft Carrier Hope sets sail
"Pit daddy, you are a garbage, last night the crow was black, the heavy rain kept falling, let us breach the embankment, let us brave the rain to search and rescue, now it's dawn, I don't even pee, isn't it impotence! We're the good guys of a superbadass. It's hard to be a good person, a good person doesn't live long, and a bad guy can't die of old age. I'm going to be a good or bad guy. Xiang Ming looked at the rising sun in the sky, and pointed at the sky with his middle finger and cursed.
"Boom, boom. There was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Xiang Ming suddenly jumped. "It's not like God will be angry with me scolding, it's loud. Scared the baby to death. Hahaha again. Look how angry you are. Thunder and lightning are my tonic, and now I'm weak and need a big supplement. ”
Xiang Ming was in a really good mood, everyone worked together last night, and after a night of fighting, the critical people that Xiang Ming's divine sense searched for were basically rescued without pulling back.
The doctors and nurses of the medical team also fought hard all night, and there are still several surgeries being performed to this day. But hundreds of seriously wounded were treated.
"I'm grass, I'm only here now. Xiang Ming saw a few small black dots flying from the south. It was the helicopter of the vanguard of the rescue force.
"Call the aircraft carrier parked in Wuhan and inform them to set sail immediately and rush to Jingzhou. Xiang Ming gave the order to the deputy captain domineeringly.
"Yes, Chief. The deputy captain saluted and turned to leave.
The "Hope" aircraft carrier is based on the advanced USS Kitty Hawk, which was captured by Xiang Ming two years ago. Xiang Ming put him here in Wuhan as an aircraft carrier in the aircraft carrier theme park. This is not one of those old and broken aircraft carriers. Rather, it is an aircraft carrier in service.
Xiang Ming renamed the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier the Hope. The aircraft carrier is mostly not open to the public, except for a limited area that is open to tourists. The Dragon Navy, with the help of the Han Empire, gave the aircraft carrier one-fifth of its crew. These crew members are here to learn aircraft carrier operations from the aircraft carrier operators of the Han Empire's aircraft carrier formation, and to put it bluntly, this is the base for the Dragon Kingdom to train aircraft carrier talents.
This is also a place where many military departments in the Dragon Kingdom study and study. In the future, the Dragon Kingdom will also build an aircraft carrier for electromagnetic catapult, instead of the kind of sliding aircraft carrier.
To put it bluntly, the military is using Xiang Ming's aircraft carrier for free to do its own thing.
Xiang Ming ordered the "Hope" aircraft carrier to go up the river to reach the river surface of the Jingzhou gap, which was feasible after Xiaolan's calculations. Now the water level of the Yangtze River has risen sharply, and the water depth has increased. The reefs, which normally hinder the navigation of large ships, are now 30 meters below the surface of the water, and cannot affect the navigation of large ships at all.
There are no bridges on the river from Wuhan to Jingzhou, and the large ships that usually pass tens of thousands of tons are subject to the pitiful low height restrictions of the bridges. Can't get by.
The draft of the aircraft carrier Hope is about 12 meters, and the current river surface has met the requirements for navigation, and it will not run aground at all. There will be no reefs either.
A battle alarm sounded above the aircraft carrier "Doodoo" Hope, and red lights flashed.
The captain of the ship, Senior Colonel Liu Gang, was in the control room of the bridge at this time. The mood is excited, excited.
It's been two years, and this little chief finally thought of himself, of the aircraft carrier Hope, and of the existence of a supernumerary fleet of Unit 83021. For two years, this small aircraft carrier group has been reduced to a theme park decoration. The No. 051 destroyer and the 999 amphibious landing ship that once followed Xiaoshou on the Long March to fight Indonesia. has also become the babysitter who guards the Hope. Not only that, but this aircraft carrier Hope has become a base for the Navy to train aircraft carrier talents, and has also become the object of research by scientific research institutions that build warships and aircraft carriers.
Liu Gang has to talk to these people every day about these trivial things. Try to prevent these people from harming the ship, and also prevent the so-called regular army and navy from using the ship's equipment excessively.
Lying here every day, Liu Gang was depressed and entangled. I always dream that the little chief can think of them, and they are idle here to retire, right?
Finally waited for the order to set sail. Although it is only a short 200 km away. But isn't that a good start?
Wanli Haihai has finally taken the first step.
For the first time, the Hope raised the national flag, raised the military flag, and hung various flags. With a long roar, the aircraft carrier Hope set sail with hope.
The 051 ship opened the way in front of the aircraft carrier Hope, and the 999 amphibious landing ship escorted the ship behind the Hope. The three ships went all the way to the west. The aircraft carrier formation set sail, which alarmed many people, especially those from Wuhan. After all, the Big Mac has been here for two years. What has been familiar for a long time is no longer familiar. Wuhan people have long regarded the aircraft carrier Hope as Wuhan's business card and the pride of Wuhan people. Regard it as the family of Wuhan people.
Now that the family is about to set sail, many Wuhan people follow the aircraft carrier to the west along the Yangtze River bank sightseeing belt, which is to see off the aircraft carrier on the expedition.
That's marrying a girl and sending ten miles. Everyone has a kind of loss, this aircraft carrier that brought them countless glory is gone. When people from Wuhan are out and about, when people ask you where you are from: "I am from that place of Hope." This answer is very proud, and it is more memorable than saying that I am from Wuhan.
When the passing ships, or the ships docked at the pier, saw the aircraft carrier Hope, saw the 051 ship, and saw the 999 ship passing by, they all saluted this formation with a long sound. The 051 ship and the 999 ship are not to mention that most Chinese people know that both ships are meritorious ships that have participated in the battle of the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Indonesia. The salute to these two ships was more than the Hope. The USS Hope is an old American aircraft carrier that has been reformed and captured.
"Lao Du, let's replace wine with tea and have a toast. Ma Gang, the commander of the USS Hope aircraft carrier formation, raised his teacup and saluted the deputy captain beside him, who is also the commander of the carrier-based aircraft. He was the captain of the original 999 amphibious landing ship - Du Hai.
"Okay, cheers, the little chief is wise, let's fight the flood, since ancient times, how can there be such glory as us, drive the aircraft carrier to fight the flood, hehe, what does the little chief think?"
"Lao Du, you don't understand this, the flood fight is a small matter, but showing your face is a big thing, this is to warm up for us to participate in overseas missions in the future. ”
"Old Ma, you may be right. It's better than being idle anyway. ”
"Lao Du, I love to hear what you say. I was born to be useful. Look at it, we will not be idle in the future, there will be tasks waiting for us to do that we can't stop, and when the time comes, those people in the navy are probably going to die of envy and jealousy. We will be blamed for robbing them of their jobs and taking their credit. Hahaha, it"
