Chapter 37: Hachihanwan Bay

"I'd like to ask one more question, Mr. Meng, just one last question," the platinum-gold ponytailed young reporter asked, closing her right eye and sticking out her tongue, "Excuse me, is the 'Hundred Day Ghost' really resurrected?" ”

In front of her, the thick-haired young man sat on the expensive leather sofa and moved his mouth, as if to say something, but the VIP hatch had already opened, and the cargo hold outside was too noisy.

The four turbofan-20 large bypass ratio engines hanging under the wings of the Y-20SG "Kunpeng" were running at full power at this time, and the roar between the swallow and burn was simply crazy. However, after all, this is not a quiet aircraft designed for civil passenger transport, but a strategic transport aircraft of more than 200 tons.

The young girl frowned and tilted her head, sending her ears over: "Excuse me, what did you say?" At this moment, he suddenly felt that someone had choked his right arm, and then he was roughly dragged out of the VIP cabin.

She shook off the other party's arm vigorously, and then slapped the other party in the face, as strong as an untamable little wild horse: "What are you going to do!" ”

The other party was wearing the uniform of the guard gendarme of the air defense team of the New Dongdu Government Army, slowly turned his head and straightened his beret: "The interview is over, now the plane is ready to land, please go back to your seat and sit down and fasten your seat belt." Then he raised his hand and snatched the girl's badge away, and with a rough motion.

"Intern journalist Chloe? Daily News Agency? The guard gendarme asked, his voice like a brute bull with a snort in his nose.

"So what?" The girl yelled, "You just snatched a legitimate journalist's credentials, and I'm going to complain about you!" ”

The guard gendarme didn't answer, but handed Chloe's badge back.

Chloe waved her hand and retrieved her badge. At this point, she wanted to go back and continue her interview, but the VIP cabin had already closed the door. This is bad, I haven't heard the young man's answer in the cabin just now, and his words are very important for my interview. Thinking of this, Chloe quickly turned around to pull the handle of the VIP cabin.

At this moment, she felt as if her shoulders were clamped by a large pliers, and then she was dragged out of the compartment by the gendarmes, and then thrown into the ordinary cabin temporarily placed in the cargo hold: "Please fasten your seat belt!" ”

Chloe grinned at the other party, she raised her hand and pointed at the other party, and was about to speak, when suddenly the plane suddenly tilted the fuselage, and the guard gendarme suddenly left the cabin deck with both feet and flew into the air, jumping over the two rows of seats and falling heavily on the bulkhead. However, he did not show any expression of confusion, and unhurriedly grabbed the red mesh harness arranged along the bulkhead and fixed his body. When the plane was back in flight, he let go of his palm and slammed it back to the ground, then raised his hand and pointed at Koloy with a steel-like finger as a warning, and then walked towards the rear of the cabin.

Chloe stuck out her tongue in fright.

"Sit down, don't bite your tongue." The man next to him said.

Chloe turned around, "Paul, are you just watching me being bullied?" Are you still a videographer? Videographers and reporters have to keep an eye on each other and protect each other. Do you remember? ”

"Alright, Chloe. I really want to protect you, and I should have pushed you back to your seat when the plane landed," said the young man called Paul, "but I could hold you down, and it was good that the gendarmes helped me, otherwise you would have flown out." ”

"Don't talk about that! We're not here to tourist. Chloe said, "Did you record the last question I asked?" I can't hear clearly, but I can ask someone to guess the lip reading. ”

"What kidding, the cameras aren't here. And you're not holding a voice recorder. ”

"Didn't you say, Paul, that you would always follow me?"

Paul frowned: "It's about to land!" You should sit back in your seat. ”

"Men just can't be trusted!"

"You're just a substitute, you don't have to work so hard." Paul said, "When I hold up the camera, you just stand in front of you and move your mouth." ”

"Alright." Chloe pouted impatiently, "This is my first interview during my internship, do you know how I got this opportunity?" Do you know how important this is for the position after the turnaround? How could I be so unlucky! Paul, you're going to ruin me! She snorted and buckled her seatbelt, then leaned back with her arms folded, "Damn, that gendarme must have choked my arm purple, and I'm going to complain about him." As he spoke, he pouted and blew on the platinum-blond hair on his forehead, "This seat is so hard!" ”

"Be content, if it's a GI, this chair will be even more uncomfortable."

"Hey, Paul, did you just see the inside of that VIP pod? That's great! It's just amazing! In my opinion, even Bentley's luxury extended limousine is not as luxurious as there, which is really enviable, and I want to sit in it. ”

Videographer Paul touched his slightly bald forehead and looked back: "You mean 'Silver Shuttle'?" ”

Just behind the simple seat in the cargo hold where he sits, there is a parachute drop board, on which is fixed a streamlined independent cabin "Silver Shuttle" with silver bright corrugated skin, that is, a VIP special cabin.

When Chloe went in for an interview just now, she was dazzled by the intimate space of the VIP cabin, which was made up of high-end custom wood furniture and leather sofas, which were specially designed by famous artists. When this military Y-20SG needs to transport important VIPs, it carries this independent VIP cabin. And in the event of an accident on the plane, this cabin, known as the "Silver Shuttle", can also parachute independently, with an airtight bag, food, water, etc. to ensure the absolute safety of VIP personnel.

"It's none of my business," Paul said, turning back and shrugging, "except that if the plane crashes, I'm going to pick it up." ”

At this moment, Chloe had already plugged in a headphone cable to her voice recorder and listened to the recording of the interview over and over again. Just when I asked myself, "Is the 'Hundred Day Ghost' really resurrected?" After that, I couldn't hear it clearly.

This opportunity to ask questions is precious, and it would be a shame to miss it, Chloe thought to herself, a little unwilling. Questions about the "Hundred Days" were originally forbidden, so Chloe came up with a trick that when the interview was over and ready to land, all the reporters would exit the "Silver Shuttle" and return to their seats in the cargo hold outside. At this time, he deliberately withdrew last, and when only she and the other party were left, she asked this question coldly, and according to Chloe's estimate, the other party would definitely be startled. In this case, it doesn't matter if he answers or not, his expression is the most honest.

However, the situation just now was completely beyond Chloe's expectations, and the other party's expression was very flat, but he answered her question instead. But what the answer was, Chloe couldn't hear clearly.

"Tsk-" she sighed, blowing the golden retriever on her forehead, "I'll take the opportunity to be alone with him." I must know the truth. ”

"Well, it's ready to fall. Open your mouth and inhale, otherwise your eardrum will be uncomfortable. Paul said.

At this time, Chloe was suddenly attracted by the view outside the porthole: "God, that's ......"

Paul was squinting and opening his mouth to relieve the discomfort of the plane's descent to his eardrums, and the uncomfortable sensation even gave him suffocating hallucinations. But when he heard Chloe's exclamation, he also looked out, and Paul had seen the scenery outside many times: "Oh, Hachikan Bay." ”

When the plane made three turns in front of the runway, the port side reflected the magnificent view of Hachikan Bay in the harbor of Shintoto, an armored artillery defense circle of eight battleships, although it was more ornamental.

If it weren't for the seat belt, Koloe couldn't wait to lean over and look: "It's really magnificent, they are the 8 battleships that participated in the Continental Fleet's blockade plan in the first year?" ”

"No, then where is it?" Paul replied, "The Continental Fleet blockade plan uses ordinary supertankers. The following 8 battleships were towed after the war. ”

"What are you doing? Just to fill this spectacular steel bunker? ”

"I think so." Paul answered. Of course, he was also excited about this, and he had been to all eight battleship museums before the formation of Hakkon Bay. It's just that Paul doesn't want to be as unsteady as Chloe, and he has to go up to everything he sees, and he looks like he can't hold his breath. He's a photographer, so he has to hold it down.

"Before the war, I remember the events in Ukraine." Chloe asked.

"That's right, the Russian fleet is a horizontal line, blockading Sevastopol." Paul closed his eyes and said, "But there is no comparison with these eight battleships. At best, wolves stood in the way; The battleships in Hakkon Bay are equivalent to 8 dinosaurs. ”

"Oh," Chloe said he wasn't interested in the complicated classification of ships, "do you think they can still move?" ”

"The battleships?" Paul smiled disdainfully, "They were museums before the war, and they have been retired for decades. ”

"These 8 boats were all American before the war, right?" Chloe said nonchalantly, "I heard that it was brought by President Chen of the New Eastern Capital. ”

Paul was silent, he knew that this was a sensitive topic, at least in New East.

Chloe didn't care about this, she turned around and came over: "Before you came, did you listen to the previous reporter about the three brothers of the Chen family in the new eastern capital, they ...... with the Owari group?"

"Hey!" Paul interrupted Chloe with a whisper, then whispered, "You're crazy! This is the plane of the government army of the new Dongto! Then Paul looked around, but no one paid any attention to them.

At this moment, the Y-20SG heavy transport aircraft was entering the fifth side of the flight, and with the humming sound of mechanical conduction, the huge and complex backward three-slit flap on the trailing edge of the wing was slowly lowered. These flaps can effectively slow down the aircraft while generating enough lift to maintain the aircraft's ability to fly at low speeds. However, as the air flow constantly collides and impacts this flap system, and when it lifts the aircraft, it makes a loud and noisy squeak, as if tearing ten thousand pieces of fabric at the same time, which is unbearable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Paul whispered in his ear: "Do you know why such a good errand is so good, but your ex left in a hurry and let you, an intern, fill the gap?" ”

Chloe shook her head.

Paul poked her and put his index finger to his lips: "You have to learn to play stupid first!" Otherwise, it won't last long. ”

At this moment, as the plane descended in altitude and entered Hachikan Bay, the magnificent scenery of Wupeng was also displayed in front of him. In the beautiful bay, eight behemoths are lined up, and the middle trestle is matched by a New York-class, classical and solemn; A North Carolina-class, spectacular and well-proportioned; Two South Dakota-class, stocky and heavy; Four Iowa-class, slender and beautiful. Eight giant ships stood majestically, like eight giant fire dragons hibernating. Whoever disturbs them will surely burn in flames.
