Chapter 471: The Queen's Visit to Hong Kong!

Chapter 471: The King of NV Visits Hong Kong!

1986, end of September. Starting

Lin Yu went to Hong Kong non-stop after returning from the Soviet Union, Lin Yu didn't want to go, but the old man personally greeted Lin Yu so that Lin Yu must go, no other, mainly the British NV King Elizabeth NV will visit Hong Kong in October according to the itinerary.

You must know that at this time, China and Britain have just finished negotiations, and Hong Kong still belongs to Britain, and Elizabeth's visit is not only valued by China and Britain, but also by the United States, the Soviet Union, France and other countries, which will have a bearing on the pattern of East Asia in the next 10 or 20 years.

As the time of NV King's visit to Hong Kong approached, various preparations were completed one after another. Even the most lively stadium is the Zhengfǔ Stadium, where singers and celebrities keep coming to rehearsals every day from morning to night. Since this was a closed rehearsal and was not open to the public, many citizens tried to sneak in. Blessed are the residents who live nearby, especially those who live on the upper floors, who can watch the rehearsals at the stadium through their windows, and some even hold binoculars. When media reporters learned about this, they paid the high-rise residents to allow them to film at home. TVB is also crying and laughing at this, and really can't stop them from doing this This time the NV King is on a luxury yacht, and the yacht will dock at Queen's Wharf. The escort yachts are the main ships of the British Royal Navy, including three Type 22 "Broadsword" class general-purpose frigates, two Type 42 "Sheffield" class destroyers, and one supply ship and one hospital ship. These ships are the most advanced ships in the British army, but the aircraft carriers and submarines have not come.

This time, the Hong Kong government not only dispatched a large number of police forces, but also contacted the commander of the British forces stationed in Hong Kong, Major General Ambuham, and dispatched the 6th Anti-Mine and Patrol Boat Combat Squadron to escort the yacht into the port together with the Marine Police patrol boat.

Early in the morning, the Queen's Pier has been cordoned off by the police, and a large number of personnel have been dispatched to inspect every corner of the pier, hoping that there will be no accidents. The British army stationed in Hong Kong also sent a battalion of soldiers from the 48th Kazakh Infantry Brigade to station, and also deployed on the rooftops of nearby high-rise buildings. Two Weskez H02 helicopters of the 28th Squadron of the British Royal Air Force are also hovering around the vicinity, and if they find suspicious people or vehicles, they can immediately notify the command center composed of British troops and police on the ground.

Of course, the citizens also saw the demeanor of the NV King up close, and for the sake of safety, it was impossible for the citizens to get close to the pier, so they could only watch from the periphery. Sir Youde and other senior officials of the Hong Kong government have been waiting for a long time, and some of the invited celebrities and wealthy people have already come to the dock after a brief inspection. TVB is a specially arranged media, they can film the whole process of the landing and greeting of the NV King yacht at the nearest place, and this process will be broadcast live on TV, so that some concerned citizens can understand the process of NV Wang's visit to Hong Kong for the first time.

In the crowd that greeted the NV King and the royal husband, the last person to catch the eye was not the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Youde, nor the wealthy Sir Lee and Sir Bao, nor the many high-ranking officials in suits and pens. Many of the people who came to greet him glanced at a man in a suit next to Sir Youde, and the camera of Hong Kong TVB also turned to the man's face from time to time. Many citizens who were watching were also shocked. Naturally, what they paid attention to was Lin Yu in a formal suit.

"Woo", a loud whistle sounded and shifted everyone's attention from Feng Yijun to the sea. The first thing that catches your eye is the two Type 42 "Sheffield"-class destroyers, Lin Yu inquired, and the two destroyers escorting the NV King this time are new ships that have only been launched in recent years, namely the "Edinburgh" and the "Duke of York". This class of destroyers, Lin Yu once had a detailed understanding of it. The class of ships has a total length of 1411 meters, a width of 61 meters, a standard displacement of tons, and a full load displacement of 4655 tons. This class of ships is the first destroyer in Western countries to use a full-fuel steam turbine power plant, and uses two "Olympus" type destroyers with total power at high speeds; It uses two "Taiin" type with total horsepower and 5 low-noise variable pitch propellers for cruising with a speed of 30 knots and a cruising range of 718 nautical miles. The total establishment of the ship is 312 people, including 26 officers.

When the British Royal Navy built ships of this class, in order to reduce costs, it limited the displacement of the whole ship; In order to increase the number of weapons and electronic equipment, the shell structure of the whole ship was simplified, and a thin-shell hull was adopted, so the structure was weak, easy to be penetrated, and easy to be heated and fired. In the 1982 Battle of the Anglo-Argentine Islands, the Sheffield and Coventry were hit by missiles, and they paid a heavy price for this.

In front of the destroyer was the yacht on which the NV King was riding, and the patrol boats sent by the British troops stationed in Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Marine Police were at the front. All those who came to greet them waited with a jī heart, and many of them saw His Majesty King NV face to face for the first time. The yacht slowly docked on the shore of Queen's Wharf, and Sir Youde whispered to Lin Yu, "I'll go over first, and you will meet you below." "Sir Youde, as the supreme chief executive of Hong Kong, of course, has to personally get on the boat to welcome the NV King next.

Lin Yu had already noticed that Sir Youde had gone into the yacht for a while, and the officials and bodyguards who had accompanied the NV King on the trip walked out of the yacht first, and he knew that the NV King would come out soon. Thinking of this, Lin Yu walked towards the front first, originally Lin Yu didn't plan to come to greet the NV Emperor, but as a representative of the Chinese side, Lin Yu still decided to give the NV Emperor enough respect, anyway, no one would die.

Lin Yu was in front of him, and other political officials and celebrities also followed. Most of the officials in the government knew the identity of Lin Yu, and some wealthy people who knew Lin Yu were also clear about his background. Only some celebrities and upstarts are suspicious of Lin Yu's identity.

I saw him walk towards the yacht first. A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a tuxedo, couldn't help but complain to the people around him: "Is this person a thing? Why are you so rude? What qualifies him to be in the first place? "There was another person next to him who was dressed like him, and his vision was obviously much better than him.
