Chapter 741: The Eve of the Mutiny
In this way, the captain and crew finally escaped a catastrophe, and not only that, but Princess Irene also specially told Liam to contact the police to provide protection for the families of these captains and crews, and never let the council continue to harass them.
As for the next thing, the previous scheduled itinerary still has to continue, and it just so happens that this gunboat itself belongs to the base of the adjacent island of the Poka Navy, so they can simply let them take the group directly to the neighboring island when they return.
After a long night of sailing, the group finally arrived at the naval base on the neighboring island, where the gunboat docked in the harbor and everyone disembarked. Then I saw that there was already a group of people lined up on the shore to greet them.
Originally, a grand welcome ceremony had been prepared on the neighboring island, but considering that Princess Irene had just survived the sea, it was decided to reduce the scale of the welcome ceremony as much as possible.
After a brief welcome ceremony, the group was sent to the Neighbor Hotel on the neighboring island, which made Lin Song and the others feel quite cordial, because this is a 'state-run' hotel that is rarely seen overseas.
These two words made Lin Song feel as if they had returned to their hometown. It is understood that the largest shareholders of the next island hotel are the royal family of Polkadot and the parliament of Polkadot. But don't look at this is a state-run hotel, unlike the appearance of Huaxia state-owned enterprises ignoring customers, the service here can be called five-star, in addition to Lin Song and others, there are also many foreign tourists staying here.
The island is a well-known tourist destination, where you can enjoy a glimpse of Latin America and taste the cuisine of the real American continent. On the other hand, due to the hesitation of ocean currents, the fishery resources around the neighboring islands are very rich, and the fishing industry here is very developed, and there are many aquatic products.
Of course, for the country of Poca, the neighboring island is also an important military chokepoint, is the entire country of the country of Poca, the garrison here, accounting for more than one-third of the total strength of the country of Boca, in this regard, the island is also an important military fortress of the country of Boca.
Lin Song himself was a soldier, sitting in the lobby of the hotel on the island of neighbors, picking up a booklet in his hand, and saw some common sense about the deployment of the army on the island. There is also a map of the neighboring islands. These are all non-classified information that has been made public, but from these things, Lin Song can also capture a lot of content.
Lin Song saw that the garrison on the neighboring island was not under unified command, but was divided into several parts. Part of it is the front-line air base on the neighboring island, which is under the jurisdiction of the Air Force of the Polka State, and there are about 1,000 combat personnel plus logistics and supply personnel.
The specific combat strength of this air force unit was naturally not disclosed in this booklet, but Lin Song, based on his own judgment, could estimate that there were about 20 fighters and a number of auxiliary models in this base. In addition, Lin Song estimated that there should be two or three helicopter gunships here, and there should also be thirty or forty helicopter gunships.
In addition, there is also a naval base, compared with the more mysterious air force, the situation of the naval base is relatively much clearer, the entire port in the navy warships of all sizes a total of eight large and small, the largest of which is a destroyer with a tonnage of 8,000 tons, which is considered to be the number one in the whole of Latin America. In addition, it is worth mentioning that there are two frigates in the naval fleet of the neighboring islands, which were purchased from Huaxia.
This immediately made Lin Song feel unusually cordial, these two frigates, originally belonged to the Huaxia Fleet, with the launch of new ships like dumplings by the Huaxia Navy in recent years, some relatively old ships have also been half-sold and half-given to some friendly countries, such as Polkadot.
These ships seem to be a little useless in the Chinese naval fleet, but they are still quite competitive in the Latin American navy. It can be said that the arrival of these two ships has even significantly increased the combat effectiveness of the fleet on the neighboring islands.
Of course, we must also mention the army, which has a total of two infantry divisions, plus other auxiliary arms, civilian personnel, and more than 10,000 garrisons. In addition to this, since the city of the upper part of the island is on the island of Neighbor, there is also an armored division.
When Lin Song was chatting with Liam before, he had heard Liam mention it, and many people had questioned before, why should an armored division be specially arranged on an island that hangs off the coast?
In fact, many people believe that the neighboring islands are just a buffer for the mainland of the country of Poca, and in the event of a war with neighboring countries in the future, they can abandon this place and retreat to the mainland after relying on the neighboring islands to resist for a period of time.
However, the royal family of Boka firmly believes that the neighboring island is the territory of the country of Poca, so it will fight for every inch of land, and once the war spreads to the neighboring islands in the future, it will not fight or fight, and once the war starts, it will devote all the strength of the country to find a way to keep this place.
In the eyes of the royal family, defending the neighboring islands is equivalent to guarding the gate of the mainland of the country of Poka, so as to ensure that the mainland of the country of Polka can continue to maintain production and development, and then fight on the front line of the neighboring islands, forming a virtuous circle.
Otherwise, once the neighboring islands are lost, it will be difficult to encircle the mainland of the country of Poka. The neighboring islands provide valuable strategic depth for the long and narrow country of Poca, and it is a battleground that must be fought for.
"Hey! Lin Song, what are you doing? Gao Suyan suddenly appeared behind Lin Song, interrupting Lin Song's thinking.
Lin Song raised his head and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, just take a look." Oh yes, it's a welcome dinner, isn't it? ”
"That's right." Ko So-yeon said: "I have another important thing to tell you. ”
Lin Song frowned: "What's the matter?" ”
"Don't you think it's a little strange to have a neighbor island today?" Ko said: "The atmosphere on the whole island is a bit weird. ”
Gao Suyan didn't say it, Lin Song also felt a little strange when he said this, the neighboring island has always been to dilute the color of military fortresses, because this will have an impact on the hearts of tourists and affect tourism, but today the island is full of soldiers, and many attractions have been under martial law.
"The official tone is that this is to protect the princess's safety, so the army is dispatched to impose martial law on the whole island, but don't you think this is a bit too much?" Gao Suyan said meaningfully.
