The Strait of Prussia, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, is the world's busiest waterway and a strait with variable weather and hydrological conditions. Under the combined action of several different ocean currents www.biquge.info the calm sea will suddenly swell with huge waves, and sometimes there will be inexplicable strong winds. This strait is said to be one of the most shipwrecked in the world.

Zhang Jianxin and Xia Zhu stood in the wheelhouse of the tugboat, looking nervously at the sea area in front of them, the first mate of the tugboat looked relaxed and said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, the towing technology of our NB company is world-class, and it is guaranteed that there will be no problems." ”

Xia Zhu didn't understand English, couldn't understand what the first mate was saying, and looked at Zhang Jianxin blankly.

Zhang Jianxin said: "Mr. First Mate, I am not worried about you, but the weather and ocean currents, I have checked the hydrological and weather data in the history of this strait, it is very complicated!" ”

The first mate shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly and said: "Mr. Zhang, you have also seen the steel cable we use, it is arm thick, and there are a total of six tugboats working, even if there is a problem with one or two steel cables, it will not affect the overall situation." ”

Zhang Jianxin nodded and said, "I hope it's as you said!" ”

It was getting dark, and the Schwarzenegger slowly sailed out of the Pruth Strait, but fortunately, there was no danger and it was safe.

Zhang Jianxin picked up the wireless intercom and talked to NB

The person in charge of the tugboat company contacted to see if the boat needed to be stopped for a break. The person in charge of the NB company replied that the weather was good today, and it was best to rush overnight, Zhang Jianxin looked at the sea, and there was indeed no wind and waves now, so he agreed to the proposal of the NB company. The Schwarzenegger continued to slowly sail towards the open sea.

It was completely dark, and the Schwarzenegger behind the tugboat was brightly lit, but the surrounding sea was pitch black, which was awe-inspiring! Zhang Jianxin only felt that his heart was empty and uncomfortable, and an ominous premonition lingered in his heart. He thought it was a slight seasickness and hurried to the restaurant for some food. When he returned, he replaced the summer pillar that was observing the sea, and told him to hurry up and eat.

The summer column had just stepped out of the wheelhouse, ready to go to the dining room from the deck side. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sea, and the tugboat and the Schwarzenegger shook violently up and down, left and right, and the shaking amplitude was very large. Summer Pillar was unsteady on his feet, and hurriedly grabbed the handle of one of the hatches beside him.

The wind blew stronger and stronger, and the steel cable dragging the aircraft carrier let out a seeping 'woo' roar, and occasionally there was a crisp or two cracking of the steel wire.

Zhang Jianxin heard the anxious shouting of the person in charge of NB Company from the wireless intercom, but he was in Ukrainian, although Zhang Jianxin couldn't understand it, he could feel his nervousness.

Zhang Jianxing felt that the tugboat had slowed down significantly, but the wind and waves on the sea were getting bigger and bigger, and the huge waves hit the tugboat, and the waves splashed onto the deck of the tugboat. Zhang Jianxin's heart also became nervous.

Where can Xia Zhu still care about eating now, he stumbled back, intending to go back to the cab.

Suddenly, a huge wave hit, and the tugboat was thrown high, and one of the steel cables towing the Schwarzenegger could no longer withstand the huge pull, and with a loud "rattle" sound, it broke in the middle of the two ships.

Zhang Jianxin also heard the sound of the steel cable breaking, and he saw a long black shadow smashing towards the tugboat through the window on the side of the wheelhouse.

Not good! Zhang Jianxin vaguely saw the figure of the summer column, which was within the range of the steel cable at this time.

Summer Pillar also sensed the danger, he ran a few steps, and was about to grab the iron door handle of the wheelhouse, but misfortune still befell him, the huge steel cable with the sound of the wind, swept on the body of the summer pillar at once, the summer pillar was like a leaf, swept in the air by the steel cable, and fell far into the dark sea.

"Pillars!" Zhang Jianxin screamed in pain, like rushing to the door of the cab.

The first mate hugged Zhang Jianxin and said loudly: "Nao! You can't go out, it's too dangerous, Mr. Xia has no chance of surviving, don't say that the wind and waves in the sea are so big, even if he is hit by a steel cable, he will die. ”

Zhang Jianxin's voice was choked, he struggled hard, and stretched out one hand in the direction of the sea, "No! I'm going to save him! You let go of me! ”

At this time, the other crew members in the wheelhouse also came over to help control Zhang Jianxin, and the first mate comforted him silently.

A blinding flash of lightning appeared on the sea in the distance, followed by a deafening thunderclap and a torrential downpour of rain from the sky.

At this time, both the Schwarzenegger and the tugboat stopped and dropped anchor. Zhang Jianxin on the tugboat sat on the side, as if he was stupid, he didn't believe it, and he couldn't believe it, his good brother Xia Zhu just went, and it was he who saw Xia Zhu being swept into the sea by a steel cable, and he couldn't go out to rescue him.

Tears kept flowing, and the bitter taste couldn't hide the pain in Zhang Jianxin's heart. Ten years later, Zhang Jianxin and Xia Zhu have formed a deep friendship while running Shuangjiang Group. Xia Zhu's honest and upright personality made Zhang Jianxin regard him as his own brother. The knife-like pain in his heart made Zhang Jianxin feel sweet in his mouth, and with a violent cough, a mouthful of blood spurted out, Zhang Jianxin only felt that his eyes were dark, and his body fell crooked on the floor of the cab, and he didn't know anything.

When Zhang Jianxin woke up, it was already the morning of the next day, and the sea was already calm at this time. Zhang Jianxin looked around and saw that this was a dormitory. The crew guarding him saw that Zhang Jianxin had come to his senses and hurriedly ran to call the first mate.

The first mate walked into the dormitory and exclaimed, "Dear Zhang, you scared me to death, you know? You were unconscious all night. ”

Zhang Jianxin asked weakly, "Mr. First Officer, have you found Xia Zhu's body?" ”

The first mate nodded sadly and said, "As soon as the storm stopped yesterday, I sent someone to the sea to look for it, and it was not until dawn that I found Mr. Xia's body." _”

Zhang Jianxin struggled to sit up, and with the help of the first mate, climbed out of bed.

"Mr. First Mate, where is he? I'm going to see him. Zhang Jianxin staggered towards the hatch.

The first mate helped Zhang Jianxin to a small room on the back deck, and when he pushed the door open, Zhang Jianxin saw a corpse covered with a white cloth on the floor. He pushed away the first mate who was supporting him, threw himself at once, and lay down on the body of the summer pillar and wept bitterly.

The first mate shook his head and gently closed the hatch for Zhang Jianxin.

After Zhang Jianxin cried for a while, he stopped crying. Reason prevailed over emotion, the summer pillar died, there was still a lot to deal with, and the voyage of the Schwarzenegger continued. Zhang Jianxin wiped away his tears, walked out of the morgue's warehouse, came to the cab, thought about it and resolutely picked up the satellite phone.

The appointments of Jiang Tao and others were announced as the Schwarzenegger began to pass through the Prussia. Kang Liancheng is quite satisfied with his arrangement, the number one leader of Zhongda Petroleum, who has the power and money, is a very good position.

Jiang Tao didn't expect that he would be promoted again in such a short period of time, and suddenly became a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, and he was a provincial leader. However, what made him most happy was not his promotion, but the release of the aircraft carrier.

This time, the Turkish country seized the Schwarzenegger, which made Jiang Tao understand a truth and see a fact clearly, that is, in today's world, if the strength is not good, no matter how large the population is, no matter how wide the territory, other countries will bully you. Just like the late Qing government, weak and bullied was eventually divided by the world powers.

The external manifestations of a strong country are both economic and military. Jiang Tao has been considering an issue recently, that is, the combat effectiveness of the active army of the Huaxia State. Sixty years have passed since the last war, and the current soldiers are basically only children, who have been pampered at home since childhood, although they have undergone several years of military training in the army, but what kind of combat effectiveness is, before they have passed the test of real war, no one has a bottom in their hearts. How to train the troops under actual combat conditions is a problem that needs to be solved urgently.

Jiang Tao picked up a red and blue pencil and gently tapped it on the table, accidentally using a little more force, and the red refill broke into two.

Jiang Tao saw the broken red refill, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea. Since Jiang Tao entered politics, he has also been invited to visit many military exercises of the troops, the scale of the exercises is large and small, and the scene looks very lively, but they have all gone through many drills in advance, the Red Army represents the Huaxia ** team, and the blue army represents the imaginary enemy. Is it possible for the armies of the two sides to simulate a real war scene without knowing each other's opponents? It's like this red and blue pencil, which end can't withstand the blow will break. Regardless of whether red or blue, whoever plays well wins.

Thinking of this, Jiang Tao suddenly became excited, he has a reserve force in his hand, as well as an anti-terrorist assault brigade, can he let these two troops have a real confrontation? Jiang Tao opened his notebook and began to write his thoughts on it.

Suddenly, Jiang Tao's mobile phone on the desktop vibrated violently, and the buzzing interrupted Jiang Tao's train of thought. Jiang Tao picked up his mobile phone unhappily, and after looking at the caller number, his spirit became tense. A row of zeros appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, which must be the satellite phone on the Schwarzenegger. Jiang Tao hurriedly pressed the answer button.

"Jiang Tao, tell you the unfortunate news, Zhuzi, he, something happened to him." Zhang Jianxin's weak voice came through the earpiece of the mobile phone.

"Brother Zhang, tell me quickly, what's wrong with the pillar?" _Jiang Tao asked anxiously.

"Jiang Tao, there was a strong wind on the sea last night, the waves were very strong, the steel cable dragging the aircraft carrier was broken, the pillar he, he was hit into the sea by the steel cable, and the body of the pillar was salvaged this morning." Zhang Jianxin said in a choked voice.

"What? The pillar is dead? Jiang Tao suddenly sat down in his chair, and tears instantly filled his eyes.

"Brother Zhang, Yingying, do they know?" Jiang Tao held back his grief and asked.

"I haven't told them yet, I'm a mess in my head right now, and I don't know what to do. How can I explain to the pillar's family? Zhang Jianxin slapped his head hard.

Jiang Tao quickly calmed down, and he asked, "There is nothing wrong with the aircraft carrier, right?" ”

Zhang Jianxin replied: "No, the broken steel cable has also been replaced, and it is now sailing in the open sea." ”

Jiang Tao said: "Brother Zhang, you take care of the body of the pillar, I will immediately tell Yingying and them, I will fly over with them, and the pillar is also my good brother!" I'm going to take him home! ”
