Twenty minutes later, five freighters slowly entered the harbor with a long whistle. The ships of the escort were still cruising on the sea outside the harbor www.biquge.info

As soon as the ship came to a steady halt in the harbor, there was a louder cheer.

On the first freighter to enter the port, several crew members were checking the sling of the container, and after confirming that it was safe, they gave a thumbs up to signal that it could be pulled away.

After receiving the prompt that the crane can be lifted, the driver immediately lifts the goods up.

"Well, why is it so light?" As soon as the crane driver lifted the container, he had already noticed that the goods were very light, and there was no weight when pulled up.

However, although he hesitated a little, he still slowly turned the boom and slowly placed the container in the designated position.

"......" There was an unpleasant sound of metal crossing the ground, and the container landed steadily on the open ground ground.

Not far ahead, rows of reporters were holding long guns and short cannons at the container, trying to take pictures of the newly purchased equipment as soon as possible.

Farther Filipinos stared at the container with wide eyes, trying to see what was the first thing to appear.

A row of soldiers walked to the front of the container in a uniform manner, and the Philippine government also carried out a special ceremony for changing clothes for the reception ceremony this time.

Because they are all land equipment and tanks have commonality, after a week of intensive training, most of these soldiers know how to operate the equipment they are about to reequip, and these equipment is not too advanced.

“...... The first thing that will be presented to everyone is the main battle tank independently developed by the United Kingdom, the Challenger tank, which is equipped with a 120mm rifled tank gun, with a large caliber and a long range, which can penetrate the armor of enemy tanks at a distance of 3,000 meters, and the tank is ......"

The host on the podium introduced the tank with a lot of mouth, and many Filipinos in the audience took out their mobile phones and began to look up the data of the tank on the Internet, and some of them kept screaming on the Internet.

And those who watched the live broadcast and knew some military affairs were even more crazy, and some of them could be stuffed into two fists, and they couldn't believe that the British would sell the latest main battle tanks to the Filipinos.

Even the officials in charge of watching the live broadcast at the White House and the Department of Comprehensive International Relations were a little incredulous, knowing that the Challenger 2 was the UK's leading tank, and its combat effectiveness could rank among the top five tank families in the world.

Similarly, a staff member of the Chinese General Staff who handles international relations was also watching the program, and the teacup on the side of his mouth fell to the ground because his hand slipped on it, and finally said to himself: "The British can't be crazy!" ”

The host on the podium in the Philippines was still chattering about the tank, and the Challenger Tank 1 and 2 were completely different concepts, but they chose to ignore them.

The host didn't know that after his words went out, the British military immediately received more than a dozen faxes or phone calls, all of which asked about the price of the Challenger 2 model and intended to buy this tank, which made the British military people confused and didn't know what was going on.

"Then now please, our President, Mr. Koman, open the container!"

The host finally finished the introduction, and in the process of the introduction, the interim president of the Philippines, Koman, also performed a political show.

He walked up to each of the Filipino soldiers and patted them on the shoulder: "Well done, young man!" ”

He also personally tidied up the appearance of a Filipino soldier with a crooked hat, and the whole process seemed to be very close to the people.

Lin Qing was now watching Koman's political show not far away, and suddenly thought of the fact that he was like the principal who greeted the new students when he was in school, with a smile on his face and nice words on his lips, but he was thinking about how much income a new student could bring to the school.

However, there is still a certain difference, in the heart of the Philippine president, these soldiers should not bring him much money, but how much popularity.

Koeman, who successfully showed off, slowly walked to the front of the container, I don't know when, the container was loaded with a ribbon, Manila Mayor Hedra stood in another position with a smile on his face, and the two of them were on one side, holding one of the doorknobs of the container.

Then, immediately afterwards, the scene sounded with a uniform slogan: "Five! ”

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Oh......"

As the countdown ended, Coman and Hedra pulled the door of the container at the same time, and the whole scene erupted in cheers.

But then the scene suddenly became very quiet, and the scene that was full of people just now, the lively and noisy scene, the voice suddenly became low, and then it was as silent as death, and then there were whispers.

The container was empty, and it could not be said to be empty, and dozens of standard rifles were lying on the ground in a mess, and there was nothing else, no Challenger tanks in sight.

"What, how can the inside of the container be empty?"

"I don't know, it won't be a lie, right, I see that the host is blowing so badly, if there is really such good equipment, the British can sell it to us?"

"It can't be that the money has been embezzled by government units, right?"

"Maybe it's just the wrong container, you see there are so many containers on board!"

“......”

The Filipino people in the audience lowered their heads and whispered to each other, and there were various points of view, but now most people believe that they may have opened the wrong box.

Coman, who opened the box and was about to accept the applause of the Filipino people, felt that his face was hot now, as if he had been slapped hard.

Even if he hid it well, there was now a hint of annoyance on his face, which had to irritate him. What a good political show, wanting to increase some of his own approval ratings, wanting to remove the word temporary from his title of interim president, has now become a joke.

However, Koeman quickly reacted, Hehe adjusted his expression, and held a microphone in his hand: "Gentlemen, this is just a joke, although today is not April Fool's Day, but I want to make everyone present, including everyone in front of the TV, put down the unhappiness of the past few months and welcome the new future of the Philippines together!"
