Chapter 525: The Battleship Sets Sail (2)!
Yang Hao stood in the command room, watching indifferently as the rubber boats kept approaching the battleship, and then were lifted up by the crane and pulled to the deck. The whole process is quick and smooth, as if it has been trained for a long time.
Hundreds of defense company mercenaries, plus a handful of carefully selected retired sailors, formed a well-coordinated working group to place the people who were brought up in each dinghy, with little noise in between.
Nikolaev, an old man who couldn't sleep, ran to the bottom, mixed in the crowd and stared at the dark sea in the distance, watching the whole transportation process with cold eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's incredible! How did the kid do it? β
In the largest port of China, the blatant transportation of citizens who are trying to flee the country is a flagrant violation of the dignity of the homeland, regardless of the purpose. This kind of behavior will probably not be allowed by any government that has a bit of modesty.
But Yang Hao seemed to have done it without any effort.
Look at those who were sent up, most of them were well-dressed, and their manners and demeanor showed good cultivation. It shows that they are not the kind of poor people who can't eat, but are well-educated elites who should have a considerable social status under normal circumstances.
Shouldn't these people be the focus of the government? They should at least be able to win a good position and sit comfortably on the people's heads, right?
Nikolaev's head immediately conjured up the image of the former Soviet Union's fat-headed bureaucrats.
Leoni stood beside him, a cold light flashing in his eyes, and replied calmly: "There are dissenting people in any government. Nor is it that everyone agrees with the so-called democracy that the Americans have forcibly promoted. And this time. When the Americans were engaged in color revolutions. Gone too far. Many Egyptians were very dissatisfied. They will be severely suppressed and sanctioned at home, and leaving is the only way to survive. β
Nikolaev understood, and his face suddenly showed undisguised disdain: "Hey! I thought it was some kind of character, but it turned out to be a group of losers in the struggle! They don't even have the ability to survive in their own country, so can they expect to make any achievements abroad? β
Leoni was a little dazed, but his tone was still firm: "I don't care about those things, since Yang Hao has decided like this, there must be a reason for him." β
Lao Maozi stared at her in surprise: "You trust that Chinese kid so much?" You should know. What we are going to do, once successful, will not do it any good for his country! β
Leoni's face did not change, and he said word by word: "I have no other choice!" β
Nikolaev was stunned for a moment, shook his head self-deprecatingly, picked up the stainless steel wine jug and poured a 62-degree second pot into his mouth, and sighed: "Yes, we all live like dogs without dignity, how can we ask for more?" A glimmer of hope is already remarkable. You're doing it right. β
The transfer of refugees was extremely fast, with more than a dozen rubber boats rushing directly to the beach on the opposite side to pick up people, and cranes taking off and landing here. In less than 20 minutes, all the work was completed.
A bearded middle-aged man at the head saw the last person enter the lower cabin. With a relieved expression on his face, he turned to Captain Nelson and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, dear sir! Your righteous deeds will forever be engraved in the hearts of every one who is saved! Allah bless you with happiness and health! β
Captain Nelson, however, did not feel much honored, and replied in a stern manner: "As a man of integrity, we will not sit idly by and ignore the suffering of others of our kind." So, Mr. Mohadi, you don't need to say thanks. Please calm the rest of the people as soon as possible, and we will be leaving shortly. There may be some bumps during the cruise, we hope you can understand. β
The bearded man waved his hand repeatedly: "This is already very good, please be sure to express my sincere thanks to the others on my behalf." β
What more could he ask for? Compared to smuggling in an unreliable and dilapidated cargo ship, the safety of a battleship is beyond doubt.
Moreover, most of those ships were dirty and messy, and they didn't care whether you were a human or an animal, and they were crammed into the holds, the air was filthy and there was no food, and the weak body was estimated to have to be hung up in the middle of the road. Then the corpses will be thrown into the sea, and no one will look at them again.
This side is completely different, no matter how bad the comfort of a battleship is, it is much better than a bulk carrier. The cabins are still cramped, well ventilated, and most importantly everyone has a bed!
On top of that, the ship could not have been more satisfying to provide them with the halal food they needed, enough clean drinking water, and a place to kneel down several times a day for prayer.
The two battleships adopted a modern modular design, except for the huge steam turbine and the corresponding seawater filtration and desalination system, the rest of the electrification system and the use of diesel engines greatly reduced the space occupied by various pipelines and oil circuits.
Similarly, after the integration of the modern overall computer control system, the battleship theoretically only needs a dozen people to start, and a hundred or so people can exert part of its combat effectiveness. As a result, the number of crew requirements is greatly reduced.
Correspondingly, it will bring about a sharp increase in the available space of the whole ship. Personnel accommodation and living, daily activities, places are wide enough, kitchens, restaurants, hospitals, game halls, sports fields are not lacking. Naturally, the ammunition depot is not so cramped.
Now all of them are used to resettle refugees, and the two or three shelves of beds that go to the top can make the greatest use of space, and the impact of hundreds of people being resettled in them cannot be seen at all.
Of course, this is only the first batch.
Early the next morning, the fleet lifted anchor and departed from port, and hurried slowly all the way at a speed of more than ten knots. The battleship didn't even move its steam turbines, but used its two diesel engines to push the heavy hull and slowly accelerate, and sure enough, it was a leisurely posture for sightseeing.
This makes many forces that are secretly spying feel particularly depressed.
Nowadays, Yang Hao has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of many people, and his every move will attract attention from all sides. As soon as the two battleships moved, no matter how decently his so-called round-the-world travel lies were made, there were still very few people who really believed them. Even if they were sure that there was not a single shell in it, they still didn't dare to take it lightly.
Above the head of the fleet, passing satellites took pictures. Beneath the surface of the water. There are submarines tracking from various countries; Maritime. The radar scans of the ships are endless; Aboard. The spy and intelligence officers who infiltrated were probing around, without the slightest relaxation.
Yang Haoquan didn't know, no matter how they spied on, he acted slowly step by step.
Soon after, the fleet sailed to the waters corresponding to the border between Egypt and Libya, and it was at night when the refugee transfer operation began again.
Unlike last time, the personnel composition of this transportation is particularly complex. It's nowhere near as well-dressed as the first batch. Most of them looked ragged, exhausted, yellow-skinned, or even half-dead. Most of the refugees who tried to cross the border into Libya many days ago and then smuggled them into Europe from there.
Some of these people are being hunted down by the authorities, some are people who yearn for a happy life in Europe, and some are simply unable to live locally, risking their lives. Others were tricked into getting on board.
To Yang Hao's surprise, he found many Chinese among them. Through the questioning of the soldiers, it was learned that when these people set off from China, they said that they were going to smuggle to the United States. But somehow, I got off the boat and found out that I had actually run to Africa!
The smugglers did not fulfill the contract completely, they just could not directly cross the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of the United States, but used the method of international relay to get these people to Egypt first, and then take the smuggling route of Libya to board the ship. Whether the next stop is to Europe or the Americas, it really doesn't matter.
In short, they all left China to go to the free world, and when they got to the ground, they probably didn't care so much, right? Even if there is, does Nima want to eat knife plate meat or human meat buns? Anyway, in the end, it will become a coolie frantically squeezed by the human smuggling syndicate, where is it different!
These people didn't expect that when they came all the way to the desert, hills, barren mountains and wilderness, when their old lives were about to die, suddenly a savior fell from the sky, and there was a luxury boat to sit on, and they were so excited that they almost fainted.
Unexpectedly, when Yang Hao heard that it was this group of bastards, he waved his hand angrily: "Throw them all out!" Since I like the United States so much, there is no cover in the Pacific Ocean, just swim over it yourself. Oh, by the way, it's almost to the Atlantic, it's narrower, and they must have been more sure in the past. Isn't there one of those stupid people who row a small boat to an American base? They can learn a little. β
In addition, there are several activists of the Donkey Sect who have been screened out, leaving behind the great preferential policies and good lives given to them in China, but they have traveled thousands of miles to Southeast Asia, and from there they have taken ships to Africa, and then from Africa to West Asia, intending to participate in the glorious holy war.
Yang Hao hated this kind of shit, and waved his hand coldly: "Kill it all." In the future, when you encounter such a thing, you will be shot and killed, and no one will be left! β
A burst of gunfire shocked the dark barren beach, and the refugees who had been wandering around in their hearts with all kinds of careful thoughts suddenly stopped, only then did they know that there were not so many good people in the world. What they are going to is definitely not the territory of the rotten good people who really treat them as uncles.
When they were transported to the ship, they were all blindfolded with black hoods and sent to the cabin before they were allowed to let go.
The conditions given to them were not as good as the first batch, and it was clear that they had laid a floor in the huge hangar, parts warehouse, and maintenance plant in the rear.
But it's not bad, everyone has a big bottle of purified water and a big bag of compressed biscuits, which can barely last a few days if you save a little. As for whether there will be a conflict between them over the necessities of life, those monitoring heads above their heads are not decorations, Yang Hao really hopes that someone can jump out and let him make an example of the monkey.
The results were disappointing, the shooting of a few people on the beach was so effective that for the next few days, no one came out to jump. Among them, there were some guys who were obviously on a mission, and they made all kinds of excuses to go out of the cabin for a walk, but were unceremoniously rejected by the guards through the steel. If you dare to break your mouth, you will directly pull it out and throw it into the sea.
The fleet then swept across the coast of North Africa, and in the ports of Benghazi, Rega, Tripoli, and Tunisia on the Libyan coast, or along the national border, it brought more than 3,000 refugees of all kinds on board. That's it, and it didn't make the draft of the two battleships seem to increase much.
It can be said that thanks to the powerful United States, they have been promoting color revolutions in recent years, messing around with the so-called export of democracy, and making North African countries chaotic. Yang Hao, a well-known benefactor in Africa, has accumulated a wealth of contacts in the past few years, and the people deployed in advance can easily organize a lot of refugee resources with a few casual moves.
The fleet has come this way. It's like picking things up anywhere. Thousands of refugees were easily looted onto the ship. After Algiers. The operation was suspended and direct flights to Gibraltar were expedited.
At the same time, the news that the fleet was wantonly collecting smugglers was also presented to the desks of the relevant departments of various countries. The countries bordering the Mediterranean suddenly became nervous, and they were afraid that Yang Hao would throw people on their ground if he was not careful. France, Italy, Spain, Greece and other countries have sent notes one after another, hoping that the Chinese government will restrain Yang Hao's behavior and not mess around.
The relevant leaders in China are also angry! They did a lot of calculations, but they didn't expect Yang Hao to be so messy!
Many people who like to play big chess began to analyze which one he had made. At the same time as sending the mercenaries to their destination. Picking up a bunch of refugees on the boat, what are you doing here? Is it really as speculated by European countries, making a cameo appearance as a human snake? That thing doesn't make a lot of money, okay! Do you know that this is a serious disruption to the international social order?
They couldn't contact Yang Hao at all, and they couldn't send the navy to chase him back, so they could only stare at him in a hurry.
But having said that, Yang Hao didn't say that he presided over this matter from beginning to end. Whether it's a battleship or a defense company, everyone is a horse clip registered overseas, and you can't legally catch up with Yang Hao's head if you turn a few corners.
Of course, the big countries are unreasonable, and they don't have a temper when it comes to you. It's just that right now, countries are still waiting. are all patient, and no one knows whether this kid is a pioneer released by the Chinese government to test it. In case of reckless touching, not to mention whether it will make a nose dust, the Chinese come to the door to ask the teacher, which is also uncomfortable.
The only one who doesn't care is the Yankees.
Sometimes things happen between big powers, and it seems like a child's play. Just like this time, he knew that Yang Hao had bad intentions, but none of them came forward to stop him, and they all stared at him and drove into the Atlantic Ocean in a grand manner, and then made a gesture of sailing north.
The British suddenly became nervous.
All the way to the Mediterranean, he passed through so many European countries, he didn't go, but when he reached the Atlantic, he turned around, obviously coming to Britain!
Don't forget, those two battleships look quite scary, but the bottom is just a frame welded with steel plates for civilian shipbuilding, and they have not been tested by ocean voyages, and can they directly cross the Atlantic Ocean like conventional warships? It's definitely going to be the right thing to do all the way down the coast, visit the birthplace of the modern navy, and party with the nostalgic military fans of Europe.
When the time comes, once they get to the shore, they will throw the refugees away, and the trouble will be theirs.
This cliff can't let him succeed!
The British are a little anxious, and their own foundation is too unclean, not to mention how much disaster they have brought to China in history, even now, they have constantly stumbled China in international affairs. On Hong Kong Island, the tricks they have made up this year have been fueled by the British and secretly provoked. Aren't the Chinese not aware that they really swallowed their voices and did not make any response? How could it be!
Many people think that this is the rhythm of the move against the UK.
The key is that this trick is so interesting, two battleships without ammunition, pulling thousands of refugees, scurrying around in the name of nostalgic tourism, how are you going to get rid of him to make sense? Use of force? It doesn't matter if you have one or two anti-ship missiles, and you have to take several torpedoes on it, but the whole world is staring at it, who can hide the past with such a big movement!
Besides, there are thousands of refugees, and the composition is complex, and most of them are Arab and donkey-educated. In the UK, millions of people have become climate-dependent. In France and Germany, their agitation was growing day by day, and they had already received the news that some people were coming, and they were eager to line up to welcome the hospitalityβof course, it was the government that paid for it!
Under such circumstances, if you rashly use force to sink it, it will immediately be an unprecedented humanitarian disaster!
When the time comes, who will carry this black cauldron?!
Quarrels and nonsense and other things are staged on various occasions around the world, because Yang Hao did not come to the forefront, the Chinese government has the cheekiness to resolutely deny it, and no one has a problem. Political pressure on Kenya? It's naΓ―ve to treat it as a serious government, and it won't work at all!
So, a large number of people stared at the excitement, and slowly they realized that the route of the fleet suddenly turned to the west?!
Is this going for the United States, or Canada?!
Almost all people believe without thinking that they must be heading for the United States!
You think, since refugees have fled their home countries, and many of them are elites (in a few days, refugee status has been picked up), they must not be willing to go to poor and backward countries to live a hard life. Isn't taking such a big risk just to go to developed Europe or the United States and live a happy and free democratic life?
Since it is not much to go to Europe, only going to the United States meets their needs.
The countries of Europe breathed a long sigh of relief, and then all sorts of schadenfreude. A number of international organizations have expressed grave concern and urged that efforts be made to contact the owners of the ships to ensure the safety of the refugees as much as possible.
On the Hong Kong Island, a bunch of agents who had been desperately laughing at Andrew closed their voices, and they were all kinds of caught off guard by this kind of magic stroke. They couldn't even figure out the point of doing that.
Even the cunning Mr. Solomon was confused: "It is absolutely impossible for the United States to allow these two warships to get closer, and they absolutely do not care about using force to stop them, and the possibility of the other side succeeding is zero." He wouldn't have wondered, what's the point? β
"Perhaps what he wants is for the United States to sink the warship, create an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, and make the international community fiercely condemn the United States, so as to undermine the prestige of the beacon of freedom?" β
Solomon shook his head: "That's no use at all. The whole world knows that the Americans can fight whoever they want, and the number of people killed in various wars in the past 20 years is incalculable, and there are countless condemnations of all kinds. I think it's pointless. β
Andrew insisted: "I still think he must have other intentions, and we should not take it lightly. β
That being said, but when it was fed back to the U.S. government, it attracted a lot of ridicule.
Commander Osama, no, Obama immediately ordered the Navy to immediately "defend" the suspicious fleet to ensure that they would not have an accident and would not approach the United States.
The warships of the Sixth Fleet, which was in charge of the defense of the northern Atlantic Ocean and Europe, immediately pursued and killed them, but unexpectedly, the two battleships suddenly left the supply ships and escort ships, and the power was full of power. At night, they somehow lost their track on the radar screen! (To be continued......)
