Chapter 889: Old comrades-in-arms
Wake Island is an atoll of three small coral islands with a total area of only 6.5 square kilometres.
However, the island is an extremely important transit point in the Pacific Ocean. The United States has built a 2,980-meter-long runway on the atoll and set up a large oil depot on the island that can provide take-off, landing and refueling services for almost all large jets.
There are now many transpacific civilian airliners, which will transit and refuel on this small island, making this small island worthy of the nickname "Pacific stepping stone".
Wake Island has no permanent population, and even now there are only a few hundred U.S. military, civilians, and a few foreign workers and military contractors.
As an important US military base in the Pacific Ocean, ordinary people have no right to get close to this small island at all, and the missile launchers on the island are not a joke.
However, Tang Feng is now holding a U.S. passport, and Tang Feng's status is also very important in the United States, plus Tang Feng is quite iron because of the relationship between Star Exploration Company and Rockwell International, and it happens that Rockwell International has a military project on Wake Island, so through the relationship of Rockwell International, Tang Feng easily set foot on this small island.
The view of Wake Island is stunning. Because it is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the water here is extremely clean, and in the middle of this small island, there is a lagoon that gives the lagoon a beautiful blue-green color because of the depth of the water. And because of the low altitude of Wake Island, the coastline that surrounds Wake Island is full of excellent beaches.
As the so-called blue sky, white clouds, blue sea, and sand, this scene is really like a painting, if there are some bikini beauties on the beach, then the scenery. Gee
In a military place like this, there are naturally no bikini beauties, and even if there are, they are all American female GIs who are on vacation. The most important thing is that even those female bikini GIs are extremely rare. Because most of the people play in the water on the beach in the north of the island.
Tang Feng didn't have the heart to see the beauties at this time.
The harbor of Wake Island is not large, but it is an absolutely excellent deep-water port, and the laneway in and out of the harbor is located in the strait between the two coral islands, and the sea in the harbor is as flat as a mirror.
A 10,000-ton oil-water supply ship is docking at the port, and because of the limited berths, the "Princess Belle" can only dock close to this oil-water supply ship.
To Tang Feng's surprise, the hyenas and bears who came with him this time, as well as Carl, nicknamed "Angel". Lewis is more familiar on this island than anyone else.
Even the top commander of the U.S. military stationed on Wake Island. Kate. Major Douglas personally came to meet the three of them, the hyena, the bear and the angel, and it can definitely be described as a very happy meeting, and even the big tyrant with Tang Feng was greeted with a high standard.
"Tyster, I've been stationed on this island for over a year since I came back from the battlefield in Afghanistan with Jonathan and Desain, and Kate was just a lieutenant at the time, and the leaders of a few of us" at the dinner table that was held in the evening. The angel explained to Tang Feng with a smile, which made Tang Feng understand that the three big and three thick guys would be so popular here.
"Hey. I've heard about the three of them, Don, Jonathan, and I have to thank you for accepting them in their toughest time. "Major Douglas expressed his sincere gratitude to Don.
Tang Feng smiled and picked up the huge beer glass and said, "Major Douglas"
"Hey, Don, just call me Kate. You can see that you and Jonathan have a very good relationship, so we are not outsiders. "The American Major is definitely the typical American GI character, cheerful and straightforward.
"Okay, Kate. Actually, you don't have to thank me, because I'm extremely close comrades with Jonathan, Desaen, and Carl. Jonathan. Do you think so? ”
"Of course, Kate, we're Tyrant's bodyguards on the surface, but we're more like brothers!" Hyena Desain said with a smile.
"Kate, I propose, let's drink together for friendship and brotherly affection!" Tang Feng raised the wine glass in his hand, and the next moment, seven or eight wine glasses touched together.
There were a total of nine people attending the dinner today, and in addition to the four people from Tang's side, Major Douglas brought four more people to the dinner. It can be seen that the four veterans have a lot to do with the hyenas, and they should be the hyenas' good friends on this island back then.
American GIs love beer, and they have no love for wine or anything. Only beer can highlight the boldness of American GIs, so whether it is in the barracks or in the bars outside the barracks, beer is always the most popular.
Moreover, the American GIs drank beer either by blowing on the bottle, or by drinking it in a very large beer glass, just like the beer glass used tonight, a glass could hold two liters of beer, so after a few glasses, even the bear, who had always drunk well, had a flush on his face.
"Hey, Don, your Princess Belle is really exciting, such a yacht needs tens of millions of dollars! If I could have such a beautiful yacht, then I would have no regrets in this life! A master sergeant said with a belch. This guy Tang Feng remembers that when he was introduced just now, his name was Jack. Murphy, an Eastern Pennsylvanian, is a veteran Master Chief.
"Angel" Carl. Lewis smiled and hugged Jack. Murphy's shoulder said: "Jack, why don't you apply for retirement with Kate tomorrow, and then come over and help us with Tyrant, in a few years, you will be able to buy a smaller yacht by yourself"
This blatant digging of the foot of the wall caused everyone to laugh, but the guys were obviously too familiar with each other, and it was naturally harmless to guard Major Douglas to make such a joke.
It seems to be in order to continue the citation. Seducing this Sergeant Murphy, Bear smiled and touched Murphy, and after the two of them took a sip of beer, Bear said: "Jack, what Carl said just now is very correct, just like a few of us, we have been working with Tyrant for three years now, if we don't like yachts very much, now the three of us can each buy a smaller yacht." Also, the yacht we came over today is nothing, and we are building a larger Princess Belle in a shipyard in France, which we Tynes gave to his newborn daughter. ”
As he spoke, the bear stood up and pointed to the oil and water supply ship moored in the harbor outside, saying, "That new yacht under construction is the real big one, and it is said that when it is built, it will be bigger than that big one" (to be continued). )
