Chapter 890: A Tropical Depression Cyclone
The welcome dinner was a success, especially when Tang Feng finally announced that he would pay for all the drinks that were in the bar tonight, and Tang Feng's boldness immediately won the cheers of almost all American GIs.
The next night, at Tang's invitation, Major Douglas and several senior members of the island's garrison attended a welcome dinner hosted by Rockwell International for Tang.
Rockwell International is working on a ballistic defense missile project on Wake Island, and it just so happens that one of Rockwell International's chief executives, Mark Brownwell. Jeans is inspecting the island. The CEO of Rockwell International was informed by the headquarters that the famous Tang Anglo-American Glencore and the big boss of Star Exploration Company Tang Feng were staying on the island. Gene immediately paid a personal visit to Tang and invited Tang to a welcome dinner hosted by Rockwell International in the evening.
Unlike those poor American GIs who could only invite Tang Feng to drink in the bar, the welcome dinner hosted by the wealthy Rockwell International was really a dinner party.
Although all the supplies on Wake Island needed to be sent from the outside world, the deep-pocketed Rockwell International put together a high-profile dinner. After all, it is a military contractor, and Rockwell International has more than 100 people working on Wake Island, so there is naturally no shortage of chefs.
And when Major Douglas saw that the CEO of Rockwell International, who had always been arrogant, was talking to Tang Feng in a low voice, he really realized that the energy of this young man was really unfathomable.
Although Rockwell International is a contractor for the U.S. military, large companies like this usually deal directly with Washington or the Pentagon. Even though Major Douglas was the supreme commander of the garrison on Wake Island, Mark Douglas was still the commander of the garrison. Gene was nothing in his eyes.
But such an old guy with eyes above the top actually treated Tang Feng respectfully. This really surprised Major Douglas and the military leaders. At this time, Major Douglas and the others realized that Tang Feng was probably not only a rich man, but his status was probably really difficult for most people to match.
Major Douglas, they guessed correctly, even if they didn't mention the identity of the big boss of the Tang Tang Clan, they were just the identity of the big boss of the Star Exploration Company. It's enough to make Mark. Jeans received him respectfully.
Now the construction of the main components of the Mars spacecraft of the Star Exploration Company is undertaken by the Rockwell International Headquarters, which is a project of tens of billions of dollars, and the project on Wake Island is simply not worth mentioning in comparison. Mark. Of course, Jeans has to be respectful to Tang Feng.
After this dinner. The supreme commander of the garrison on the island and the person in charge of the largest project under construction on the island are all respectful to Tang Feng, which makes Tang Feng easily obtain the right to stay on the island.
Although it is now August, there has never been a tropical storm or even a typhoon in the vicinity of the Great Tamu Sea, except for the formation of a depression that can only last for a day or two. Therefore, Tang Feng needs to find a place to wait for this extreme weather to appear.
The Princess Belle, despite its good condition, was a ship after all. It's more comfortable to stay on land than to stay on a boat, even if it's a small island.
Of course, Tang Feng was not idle on the island, and through satellite phones, Tang gave way to the Tang branch in Papua New Guinea to prepare two 10,000-ton cargo ships. One freighter was loaded with supplies, while the other was loaded with some vital equipment and basic materials.
Since you want to seize that new island. Then there must be a corresponding means.
First of all, you have to have someone to land on the island, and then you have to build a facility on the island to prove that you are the first person to land on the island.
In order to declare the ownership of this island, of course. Tang Feng also had to prepare the national flag. However, Tang Feng didn't want to plant the American flag or the Chinese flag on this island, this island is his own, so he must not plant the flag of any country on the island except himself.
Of course, Tang Feng also prepared two flags. One is the flag of the United Nations and the other is the flag of the International Atomic Energy Agency
And the two 10,000-ton freighters, loaded with supplies, were prepared for the construction of facilities on the island.
On the third day of Tang's landing on Wake Island, the two 10,000-ton freighters set sail from Port Moresby, the capital of PNG, heading for the sea area of the Great Muta Volcano, 5,000 kilometers away.
A week later, the two 10,000-ton freighters approached Wake Island. Of course, long before the two freighters approached the waters of Wake Island, Tang Feng greeted Major Douglas. said that it was to thank Wake Island for its hospitality, and I, Tang Feng, specially prepared a batch of supplies to the island to express my gratitude.
For Don's kindness, Major Douglas certainly welcomed it. All the supplies on Wake Island are fixed, and the types of supplies are also fixed, and now a better batch of supplies can be brought over, which is definitely a blessing for the soldiers on the island. Not to mention that the Pentagon and the White House also personally called and told Major Douglas to receive him well for this batch of supplies, which also made Major Douglas more aware of Tang's deep background.
Although a batch of supplies is worth a lot, it can't alarm the Pentagon, let alone the White House. But it was such a batch of supplies that the Pentagon and the White House called one after another, and Major Douglas just didn't want to receive it.
In fact, Tang Feng didn't think about it so much, he just felt that he had stayed on the island for so long, so he couldn't be meaningful. Besides, 2,000 tons of supplies are nothing, nothing more than some beef and mutton and other supplies purchased from Australia, which cost a few dollars, and should be the accommodation fee for staying on the island
Coincidentally, when one of the freighters unloaded some of the supplies, the sea near the Great Tamu Volcano finally moved.
Tang Feng pays attention to satellite cloud images every day these days, and in the cabin of the Princess Belle, a satellite connection computer that can display real-time satellite cloud images is indispensable, so Tang Feng can always keep an eye on the weather conditions in the Northwest Pacific.
And the weather forecast just broadcast made Tang Feng's heart slightly excited.
"According to satellite cloud imagery, a tropical depression cyclone has formed over the northwest Pacific Ocean, and according to calculations, the central pressure of this tropical depression cyclone is constantly decreasing, and it is very likely that a tropical storm will form this evening or early tomorrow morning, and it may even further form a strong tropical storm or even a typhoon. )
