The time was almost up, and Xiao Yifei arrived at the international exit. There were already a lot of people waiting to pick them up, and most of them were holding signs with various words written on them. He doesn't hold up a sign, as far as his current height of 1.88 meters is, although he can't be compared with NBA players, but he is more than 10 centimeters taller than the average height of American men, and he can be seen from afar.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yifei had already seen Li Qinglin walk out of the passage. But obviously he didn't expect there to be so many people outside, and he didn't notice Xiao Yifei ambushed in the crowd for a while. Xiao Yifei really didn't hide on purpose, but when the people in front saw someone coming out, they all held up the sign, and Xiao Yifei, who didn't have a brand, was naturally blocked.

Squeezed past a few people, Xiao Yifei raised his hand and slapped his palm, the sound naturally attracted attention, so Li Qinglin, who was looking around like a stupid bird, finally found him.

Xiao Yifei was too lazy to squeeze forward, pointed in the direction of fewer people with his finger, and withdrew from the crowd by himself.

Li Qinglin: They quickly walked out of the crowd. As soon as they met, Li Qinglin began to complain:

"You kid, you don't have any eyesight, haven't you seen your brother's big bag?"

"Yo, let me see, what are your big bags and small bags ready for."

This guy is just looking for a pumping type. Xiao Yifei has long explained that he doesn't need to bring any clothes, because he has arranged a shopping trip, and the clothes here are very cheap. Not to mention the computer bag he carried on his shoulder, he also pulled a large box in his hand. His daughter-in-law and Xiao Ya only brought a small shoulder bag.

Xiao Yifei lifted the big box and was surprised to find that the big box was light and fluttering.

Li Qinglin saw Xiao Yifei take the big box, and praised him again and again: "Not bad, good performance." ”

Xiao Yifei directly threw the box to him again. "It's just an empty box, take it yourself."

Looking behind them, there were really no other boxes, well, no need to do it yourself.

"Have you changed your phone?"

"The things you commanded must have been changed."

"What are you doing with an empty box?"

At this time, his daughter-in-law said: "I see that they are suggesting shopping on the Internet, so remember to bring an empty box." ”

Xiao Yifei didn't know what to say, since the clothes were cheap, the box must be cheap, even if the box was not cheap, how expensive would it be to buy more boxes.

"Xu Shuyun, long time no see."

Li Qinglin's girlfriend Xu Shuyun is an insurance company, responsible for car insurance damage assessment, relatively rich, and cheerful. We have eaten together a few times and are more familiar with each other.

"It's been a long time, but it's only been a year, and you've made such a big name. It's impressive. Or our Xiaoya has a vision. ”

Xiao Ya embarrassedly hammered her.

"Xiao Ya, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Okay, don't be vain, you go slowly in the evening. Where is your car? Lead the way. ”

"Shut up, you."

When he came to the parking lot and saw Xiao Yifei's car, Li Qinglin made a mistake again.

"I'll go, you buy such a big car? Lincoln Navigator, how much does it cost? ”

"More than 70,000, it seems."

"It's so cheap, why don't you drive a Porsche or something to pick up your brother."

"I'm sorry, but the cheapest Porsche is just over $60,000, which is cheaper than that."

"Then a Ferrari or a Lamborghini is more expensive than yours, right?"

"Can a sports car seat so many people? Are you squeezing the back seat? ”

"So be it. You like big cars, so you bought a Viano in China. ”

Li Qinglin deliberately accented the big characters.

"Get the keys, I'll try the car."

"If you don't give it, you can forget it today. By the way, how were you resting on the plane? ”

Li Qinglin was putting things away, and poked his head out from the back of the car: "Look at my brother's eyes, what do you think?" ”

Well, that's the eye that used to often stay up late on weekends and play all night.

"It's only 3 o'clock, should you go to the hotel or start the trip?"

"Tell me what you're arranged."

"I ordered the Four Seasons Hotel, which is in the northwest of the city, and we are now due west, so I arranged to go south to see the battleship Iowa, so that we don't have to go into the main city in the next few days."

(The battleship Iowa was only towed to Los Angeles and opened in 2012, where fiction was made up of advance.) ）

"Why?"

That's a good question, why, it's not because of security.

The heart of Los Angeles is the so-called WN, which is simply a slum and the place that sparked the Los Angeles riots. It has long been occupied by Lao Mo, and the more chaotic the law and order in Vietnam, the famous black district of Compton is a paradise for crime.

The famous Los Angeles River Bed is the filming location of the governor's "Terminator 2" and the famous "Transformers", the place where the space shuttle landed in the disaster movie "Destruction of the Center of the Earth", and often appears in movies and American dramas.

Even the University of Southern California, a little south of downtown, has been named the most dangerous university in the country by an American magazine. However, this ranking is obviously biased, many of their own students say that they dare not enter the school at night, and private universities where girls are escorted by school police are not on the list at all.

But you don't have to go out at night in those places anyway.

Xiao Yifei's explanation frightened a few of them, and the two women didn't dare to stay in the car to rest, so they could only follow them to visit the "men's toys".

As soon as the car entered San Pedro, it was immediately noticeable that it was different.

"You're driving in the right direction, it's so shabby."

"According to the GPS, I didn't go the wrong way, so there is only one possibility."

"What's going on?"

"This is the slum."

The three of them immediately became nervous, and they all looked outside, for fear that a little black with a gun would suddenly jump out, obviously they were all frightened by Xiao Yifei's description just now.

Xiao Yifei pointed to the storage box and said:

"Don't be afraid. There's guns in there. ”

Li Qinglin was sitting in the co-pilot, and he immediately wanted to open the storage box.

"Don't take it, just leave it there, the police will be in big trouble when they see it."

"Are you still in the car?"

There are also well-loaded pistols and shotguns in my brother's space, if it weren't for the rule that one person can only buy one gun a month, my brother would have washed the gun shop a long time ago.

"I have a license to carry a gun, you don't."

With Sheriff Callistoga's concealed gun license, Xiao Yifei can carry a pistol with him everywhere in California. But he wasn't used to running around with a gun at all times, so he left the gun in the car, but there was a loaded pistol in the space at all times.

This concealed gun license is difficult to obtain in big cities, and even if ordinary people have this document, they generally do not carry a gun with them. Those who carry guns with them are either plainclothes police officers, people from the powerful department, or people with bad intentions. Anyway, if you see someone with a gun, it's wiser to stay away from him.

According to the guidance of GPS, Xiao Yifei turned left and drove for another section to know that this route was correct, and the tall bridge of the battleship Iowa appeared in view.

Xiao Yifei had to complain, this parking lot actually has to be charged, I want money too much, if it weren't for the Iowa battleship here, who would have nothing to do to come to this place where birds don't, and just find a beach that looks better than this pier.

The huge 61 in the bow of the ship shows his identity, and BB61 is the number of the battleship Iowa in the U.S. Navy. Xiao Yifei took out his camera, and couldn't help but say that he clicked first, and Li Qinglin also took out his camera to take a shot, and then the two of them took some pictures of each other, and let the two girls be models, using the battleship as the background, and took a shot.

If you want to say that women just like to take pictures, a few poses, they actually recovered, and they were ready to take a look at this ugly thing they just disdained.

When buying a ticket to board the ship, Li Qinglin pointed to the screen showing the ticket price and smiled. Xiao Yifei glanced at it, there was nothing funny.

"The adult ticket price is $18, right."

Xiao Yifei nodded.

"It's $15 for the old man and the military, right."

Xiao Yifei nodded again.

"Is that Iowa resident free?"

Xiao Yifei didn't know, the "s" used here literally means a resident of Iowa, but it may also be a person who served on the Iowa.

"This is going to be put in the country, and a bunch of fake Iowa resident ID driver's licenses are guaranteed."

Sweat.

Xiao Yifei could only argue: "Anyone's money is not blown by the wind, and if you can save it, you can save it." ”

After buying the ticket, through the trestle, go up to the first deck first. There are wooden planks on the ground, which must protect the deck below.

On the foredeck, the first thing that catches your eye is the two huge turrets, Turrets 1 and 2. Each turret has 3 thick barrels. They all have an inner diameter of 16 inches, and many families have car tires that are only this size, or even one size smaller than that. One can imagine how much force it takes to launch such a coarse shell tens of kilometers away.

The No. 1 turret is sympathetically laid flat, giving you the opportunity to compare the size of the 16-inch with your hands, so that you can truly appreciate what a giant ship cannon is.

It's a pity that I couldn't climb up and ride a thick cannon barrel, and everyone took a photo with a cannon barrel bigger than a head. Li Qinglin also deliberately gave some close-ups of the rotten teak decks of the foredeck breakbreaks.

Climb to the deck of turret No. 2 and touch the turret, the armor up to 50 cm thick will give you the illusion that the inside of the turret is solid at all, but in fact it is not, there are many people operating these cannons.

On April 19, 1989, it was the No. 2 turret that had an internal explosion that killed 49 naval officers and men.

There is also a blue training shell on the ship, so that everyone can experience the enormity of the shell for themselves. Several young men and women also came on vacation, and one of them was a blonde woman who came running over and rode on top of a huge cannonball, rubbing her hips against her waist and waving her hands, while his companions laughed and took pictures. Xiao Yifei has also seen how crazy these young Americans play during this time, just clicking a few photos. And Li Qinglin was stunned to see this blonde beauty surging there, if she opened her mouth wider, her saliva would definitely flow all over the ground.

Xu Shuyun reacted, and when she saw that her boyfriend was stupid, she stretched out her little black hand, and with a twist and a turn, Li Qinglin immediately sobered up.

A fat black security guard came over to stop the group of young men, and they continued to visit with a giggling smile.

"It's okay, that's how young people make trouble, it's going to be fine."

Flashing outside the bridge, radar, rangefinder, 127 guns...... If you shoot something, go back and sort it out slowly.

You can enter the interior from the door behind the No. 2 turret, and first come to the officers' canteen, where a portrait of Iowa hangs, but the "the_big_stick" in the background makes Xiao Yifei laugh out loud.

Of course, it literally means stick, which is pretty good, and everyone says "with a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other." "Isn't this mighty warship a giant stick?

Of course, if you have other ideas like Xiao Yifei, then go to the wall yourself.

Then there is the officers' accommodation area. On the ship, only the senior officers had single dormitories, and the middle ranks had to live in double rooms, and although the cramped rooms were a bit disadvantageous to the officers, they were much better than the soldiers below.

There are not many in-house developed cabins in Iowa, and most of them are locked or barried by isolation ropes. Although they can cross the separation rope as soon as they lift their feet, Xiao Yifei and them, as people who have no understanding of the internal structure of the warship, will not be fun if they get lost. Isn't it that the inside of the aircraft carrier is a huge labyrinth, and the interior of this battleship with a displacement of about 50,000 tons is also very complicated.
