Victoria Harbour, Kwai Chung Container Terminal.

Named after Britain's longest-reigning queen, who launched the First Opium War in her third year on the throne, the bay is not only the largest port in China, but also the third largest port in the world after San Francisco and Rio de Janeiro, and is also the shipping center of the Western Pacific.

Kwai Chung Container Terminal is the second largest container terminal in the world after Singapore.

In the past, US warships would choose Central to dock in Hong Kong, so that the officers and men on the warships could go ashore, and the hotels and restaurants in Central and Causeway Bay could flourish for a few days.

This time, the USS Washington and its accompanying integrated supply ship did not go to Central, but docked next to the Kwai Chung No. 3 and No. 1 container terminals. Dock No. 2 is also an American ship, but a large container ship belonging to the American Sea-Land Intermodal Company.

Opposite the No. 3 container terminal is the container storage site of the American sea-land intermodal transportation company.

Before the "Washington" docked at the wharf, the staff members wearing the uniforms of the sea-land transport company erected a curtain more than 10 meters high on the wharf, and also set up an iron fence outside, which was guarded by armed guards.

With such a big move, it is certainly impossible to keep it secret.

The reason given by the US military was that the USS Washington encountered a storm in the South China Sea, and an unfastened "Hornet" fighter crashed into the No. 1 catapult on the right side of the take-off deck and needed urgent repairs. Because the catapult is a top military secret, the US military needs to deploy a cordon on the spot.

This is also reasonable, after the Hong Kong political axe received a sum of money, it was left to the US military to deal with it itself.

As long as the US military personnel do not leave the dock with weapons, what the US military does on the rented site has nothing to do with the Hong Kong political axe.

Because the U.S. military often repairs warships outside the country, it can be regarded as a familiar way to do it.

The question is, the catapult is the same height as the flight deck, how can a fighter parked on the flight deck crash the catapult?

If you know the "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier, you should know that behind the No. 1 catapult is the No. 1 elevator located at the very forward end of the starboard side of the aircraft carrier. As long as the aircraft carrier is close enough to the dock, after the elevator is lowered, only a trestle needs to be erected, and the vehicle can enter and exit the hangar on its own.

When the Haiti earthquake struck, the U.S. aircraft carrier, which was responsible for transporting relief supplies, did just that.

Even if they can't get too close, there is no shortage of engineering cranes with a lifting capacity of more than 50 tons on the container terminals, and the "Iskander" missile launcher certainly weighs less than 50 tons, and its dimensions are not much larger than that of a standard container. As for the "BrahMos" in the box, even more so.

The US military has taken refuge here in order to load the missiles on the aircraft carrier and the integrated supply ship onto the container ship.

There aren't many things, and you can do it in one night.

It's just that when the "Washington" entered the port, it was already midnight, and it had to set up a cordon, search the dock, prepare to dismantle the tools of the "Iskander," and so on, so the US military only transferred the "BrahMos" on the integrated supply ship to the container cargo ship that night, so that the ship, which had no reason to dock at the container terminal for a long time, went to Central early the next morning, and the maintenance work on the "Washington" was also done decently.

In order to make it look better, the US military also covered half of the take-off deck with a drapery.

During the day the next day, the U.S. military sent Navy SEALs into the sea to set up an underwater barrier under the pretext of inspecting the carrier's thrusters, that is, the propellers and propulsion shafts.

It is understandable that the US military is so careful.

Although Hong Kong is a free port, it is China's territory. If the news is revealed, even if no one can stop the "Washington," the US military will have to keep the money to buy the road.

If it weren't for the fact that the "Washington" had a more important mission, and there were more than 5,000 officers and men on board the aircraft carrier, the secrets would certainly have been leaked if it dragged on for a long time, and the missiles had to be transferred as soon as possible, and the US military would not have gone this far.

A hundred "BrahMos" with ten sets of "Iskander" are tempting, hot and worth the risk.

After a day without words, by the evening of the next day, the US military began to act.

One set of "Iskander" has six missile launchers, six missile delivery vehicles, one battalion-level command vehicle, one oil and electricity delivery vehicle, and one integrated service vehicle, for a total of 150 vehicles in 10 sets.

Soon after nightfall, the vehicles, which were tightly covered in canvas, drove out of the aircraft carrier's hangar at a rate of one every three minutes, drove to the No. 2 container terminal, drove into the prepared containers, fixed them, and sent them to the container ship by a large crane rented by the Sea and Land United Company.

The transfer is in order, like an assembly line.

It's just that the efficiency is not high, and it takes eight hours to count the preparation time before and after.

When the vehicles were snatched from the Russian freighter, the US military dispatched five cranes, and it took only four hours. However, there was also an accident and a "Hornet" fighter jet worth tens of millions of dollars was damaged.

As the saying goes, it's better to stop for three minutes than grab a second.

It's not a bad thing to be slow. This is not the high seas, and if there is another incident, you will definitely have to walk around without food.

The U.S. military is so cautious that security is naturally extremely tight.

On the wharf, there are at least hundreds of guards and marines with loaded guns, and there are several sniper teams in ambush in the nearby container area.

In the harbor, a squadron of Navy SEALs cruises around in submarines, and a squadron on the aircraft carrier is on standby, ready to enter the water at any time.

It is almost impossible to break through from the dock, and even if you can take out the patrolling guards, it is impossible to sneak into the aircraft carrier.

As soon as the gunshots go off, things are messed up.

You can only touch it from the harbor.

It is obviously not realistic to deal with more than thirty commandos of a squadron, and it is under the surface of the sea.

Why are the special forces of the US Marine Corps called "seals"? Because this is a commando team very good at amphibious special operations, almost invincible under the surface of the sea.

Why almost? Because there are adversaries.

More than 30 seals go out into the sea after dark, and they are too eye-catching during the day. The length of the "Washington" is more than three hundred meters, and the range of outer underwater defense is more than six hundred meters. Seals work in pairs, guarding an average of 40 meters of underwater defense, while visibility does not exceed five meters at night.

This line of defense is not tight, and the seals must focus on the perimeter of the line and cannot pay attention to the inside of the line.

The breaking point is here.

No matter how powerful the US commander was, he could not have imagined that someone would sneak in from outside the harbor and hide under the belly of the "Washington" for a whole day until after dark.

You know, it's early November, and the night temperature in Hong Kong is around 10 degrees Celsius, and the water temperature is not much higher.

In such cold waters, not to mention people, real seals can't soak for long. That's why the seals split into two teams.

Eight hours of vigilance is too long and must be launched in turns, no more than two hours at a time.

Two hours later, the first seals to be launched swam back to the carrier.

At this time, the "shark" hidden under the belly of the aircraft carrier, which specializes in eating seals, also swam out, swam far faster than the seals to the outside of the US military's underwater defense line, and picked up its companions who were waiting there.

As the two swam back, the first seals climbed into the receiving dinghy, and the second group was launched.

The two sides were facing each other, and the distance was less than fifteen meters, and the two people who swam towards the aircraft carrier suddenly sank down, sinking into the mud at the bottom of the harbor.

Although the mud is not very thick, it is just enough to cover two people.

Because they were still a few dozen meters away from the underwater defense line, the second batch of seals did not activate the sonar on the submersible, and the two "sharks" hiding below were not found.

The ticking sound of the low-frequency sonar was heard, and the two men hidden in the mud resurfaced and swam towards the aircraft carrier.

By this time, the dinghy that greeted the first seals had already sailed away.

Swimming under the No. 4 elevator on the port side of the aircraft carrier, the two stopped and surfaced.

"Dog, how did you see them?"

"You didn't see that?"

Zhou Yulong, who was wrapped in an antifreeze diving suit from head to toe, shook his head, looked at Liu Wei, who only had a pair of swimming trunks on his body, and asked puzzledly: "Aren't you cold?" ”

"It's a little, but it's okay." Liu Wei took off the streamlined diving backpack, took out a rope that was entangled, and then handed the backpack to Zhou Yulong. "Wait here, I'll go up first."

"How do you get up?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll pull you up later."

Zhou Yulong didn't ask much, anyway, Liu Wei said okay, and it was useless to ask.

Waiting for Zhou Yulong to dive down, Liu Wei bit the rope, clasped his hands together and rubbed it a few times, and then slapped it on the shell of the aircraft carrier.

If you look closely, you can see that before he was next to the aircraft carrier, there was a force that sucked his hand through.

After shaking from side to side a few times, Liu Wei took off his right hand, then with a force of his left arm, his body jumped up, his right hand slapped on the shell of the aircraft carrier, and then let go of his left hand in the same way.

Left and right, it didn't take long for Liu Wei to climb up the bare shell of the aircraft carrier.

If anyone sees him, they will definitely think that he is Spider-Man, but he is a naked [***] water spider.

Scientifically speaking, Liu Wei at this time is not like a spider, but more like a gecko.

In the days when he changed his gun in Zhou Yulong's residence, Liu Wei found that static electricity would be generated after the palm of his hand rubbed against an insulating object when he was washing dishes.

It's not surprising, it's the same for anyone.

The difference is that the static electricity generated by Liu Wei's palm rubbing is very strong, so strong that it can not only absorb light and small objects, but also bear his weight.

Liu Wei couldn't figure out why, he only felt that it was related to FOS's experiment.

The outer surface of the aircraft carrier is not metal, but several layers of paint with a thickness of more than five centimeters, and the outermost layer is an anti-rust paint in accordance with the paint of the US military, which is a very good insulator.

These paints can withstand the impact of the waves, and naturally can withstand Liu Wei's weight.

In this way, the aircraft carrier is actually a huge insulator.

Liu Wei can't lift a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, but he can lift himself.

Climbing onto the platform outside the No. 4 lift, Liu Wei quickly lay down and observed the situation in the distance. After making sure that there were no unenlightened seals on the surface, he untied the ropes, fastened the weight belt, and slowly lowered it.

Two minutes later, he dragged Zhou Yulong up.

At this time, the US military was still busy transferring missile vehicles, and the first batch of seals back on the aircraft carrier were rushing to the officers' cafeteria, which was served overnight.

After two hours in the sea, they were also starving.
