Chapter 627: Inspect the Cargo Box

The sea was rough, and the waves several feet high hit the warship, and the huge warship was unconscious, splitting the wind and waves, and sailing forward.

Warships are sailing on the sea, frigates with a displacement of several thousand tons on the outside, destroyers and cruisers on the inside, and the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons on the inside!

Black smoke rose from the chimney, and the Kitty Hawk was at full throttle, riding the wind and waves. A few days ago, having received an order from above, the Kitty Hawk formation set off from the island nation's station and began to sail in the direction of the Indian Ocean.

The United States' request to Huaxia is to unload the goods in Saudi Arabia and accept inspections! At the same time, in order to cope with possible changes, but also to exert further pressure, the United States sent the Kitty Hawk formation to the Indian Ocean in case of contingency.

The transfer of this aircraft carrier formation has made this incident more of a concern to the world. For a time, everyone said that it was stormy.

After the Kitty Hawk sailed in formation for half a month and passed the Strait of Malacca, the Huaxia government, which has always been very firm, finally agreed to the request of the United States to go to Saudi Arabia to unload the cargo and undergo inspection.

In the eyes of the United States, Pakistan's position is more reliable in favor of China or in a neutral Saudi one.

So, when the Kitty Hawk entered the Indian Ocean, the Milky Way freighter also sailed into the Persian Gulf and anchored at the Saudi port of Dammam.

When the Galaxy cargo ship docked at the port, the port was already crowded with reporters who had heard the news.

"We in the United States have accurate intelligence that the Galaxy is carrying thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride. Both of these raw materials are used to make chemical weapons! The Chinese government is trying to delay, and now, as long as we check the containers, the truth will be revealed! The representative of the United States, the counselor of the U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia, Makh Youm, faced the journalists. Said proudly.

If it had been checked in Pakistan, it would have nothing to do with him, and now he has come to Saudi Arabia, which just gives Mayum a chance.

"The United States wields the big stick of hegemonism and maliciously hijacks our civilian ships, which is no different from piracy. Look at how the United States accounts to the world. The representative of Huaxia was serious and angry at this time.

The first day passed in such a statement, and the next day, at dawn, the inspection of the three parties officially began.

"We need to provide the tracking number of the goods destined for Iran." said the American side.

"Okay, we can provide it." Zhang Rude said and handed over the container number.

The Americans triumphantly took the tracking number. Their intelligence is very accurate, and they even know the container number. As long as you find the crate and open the crate, you can check out the chemical weapons raw materials!

CSAQ3101 and CSAQ3102, where are these two tracking numbers? The Americans carefully checked all the tracking numbers, and checked them again, which is very strange. There are simply no two containers!

What's going on? The U.S. representative was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, it must have been the other party who modified the container number! It doesn't matter, check them one by one!

"Unload all the containers destined for Iran, and we will check them one by one!" The representative of the United States continued. This is the tone of the world's policeman.

"Okay." The representative of the Saudi side said that Saudi Arabia should cooperate in all aspects to conduct inspections at Saudi ports, and at the same time, it will also handle this matter fairly; after all, Saudi Arabia has friendly relations with the United States and has good relations with China, especially since China has also sold strategic weapons to Saudi Arabia. Now, Saudi Arabia's role is to provide a place where the US side wants to seize evidence and China wants to clarify the facts.

The crane on the harbor turns, unloading the container.

Dressed in desert camouflage uniforms, carrying unpacking tools, inspection instruments, and flashlights, the American inspectors were already eager to try it, and when they saw the box being hoisted down, they immediately rushed to it.

The door of the container is sealed, and after arriving at the destination, it will be opened by the cargo owner, and now, they use hydraulic shears to directly cut the lock on it, and then use a crowbar to open the door of the container.

"Crunch." In a metallic sound, the door of the container was opened, and inside were some black iron barrels sealed with lead!

Seeing these iron buckets, all of a sudden, the Saudi personnel were stunned, this can't be those things, right?

"What are these?" American Counselor Mark Youm asked triumphantly.

"There's a solid dye in there." Zhang Rude said: "When we loaded the ship from Shanghai, we checked it. ”

Solid dyes? By whom? The American technicians, fully armed, carefully pulled out two barrels from the middle, probably with solid dye on the outside and liquid chemical weapons raw materials on the inside!

In this way, they took out two barrels, and carefully opened them with their tools, and when the lid of the black iron bucket was opened, they were immediately deflated when they saw the red dye inside.

It's really a dye! What they want to check is the raw material of the liquid, and the color is not right!

"Take it for testing!" What if the American personnel do not give up, what if it is other raw materials that can be used to make chemical weapons? Whenever possible! In fact, thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride are mainly used to make preservatives, pesticides, printing and dyeing auxiliaries and ink solvents, etc., and the manufacture of chemical weapons is only a possibility.

The test results came out quickly, it was indeed a dye, and it was impossible to make any chemical weapons!

Keep checking back!

One morning, 25 boxes were inspected, and nothing was found, which were full of light industrial products, things like pencils, ballpoint pens, cloth, etc., a few possible chemicals for testing, none of which were raw materials for chemical weapons.

Of course, I won't give up, and I'll check again in the afternoon!

Until the evening, all the containers shipped to Iran were exhausted, and no illegal items were found.

"It must be hidden, we have to inspect all the containers loaded in Tianjin Xingang and Shanghai Port!" On the third day, the Americans came up with a new way, and they all started to check anyway, so let's check it to the end!

"We firmly believe that we don't have the chemical weapons materials you claim to be, but in order to clear our name, we are willing to let you continue to inspect them." "However, if you can't check it out, then you have to issue a communiqué to admit your mistakes to the world, and at the same time pay us compensation, all of which are testified by Saudi friends," said the Huaxia representative. ”

"We'll find out!" The Americans, of course, will not admit their mistakes, and Mamayum said: "Our intelligence services, probably misremembering the number of the container, demanded that the container number CSAQ3010 be checked!" ”

Container No. CSAQ3010 was destined for Pakistan, maybe Pakistan provided cover! Looking at this inspection, Pakistan's nervous appearance actually dispatched warships to obstruct the inspection, it must be Pakistan!

Thinking of this, Macaum was full of confidence again.

Huaxia continued to agree to the request, watching the No. CSAQ3010 container being lifted off the ship, and the American personnel continued to open the container, which was full of cardboard boxes!

Unwrapping a cardboard box and reaching inside, the expression on the face of the American technician suddenly became quite ugly.

"What's going on?" Macoyum asked, and as soon as he opened the box, he saw the small boxes inside.

"That's playing cards." The representative of Saudi Arabia recognized it at a glance: "Are the chemical weapons hidden inside the playing cards?" ”

The Saudi representative said it seriously, and everyone else on the scene laughed, it turns out that chemical weapons can be hidden in playing cards!

"It's not this, it must be in another container!" Makyum continued to shout: "Let's check! ”

Another busy day has passed, and still nothing has been found, and the Americans are a little panicked.

"Mr. Makyoum, we have you inspected all the boxes, have you found thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride?" In a conference room at the docks, an impromptu meeting is underway.

Facing the doubts of the Huaxia personnel, Mayoum had no expression on his face, only his cheeks trembled twice, and said: "We have only inspected part of the cargo of the Yinhe, and we cannot publicly admit that the ship did not carry two types of chemicals, thiodiethylene glycol and thionyl chloride. We have reported to Washington, who has instructed us to either unpack and inspect all the Chinese cargo on board, or check the list in part and in part until Washington thinks it is okay. ”

Scoundrels, scoundrels! If you don't check it out, you want to cheat! Part by part, part by part, you can check for a year or two! Now it has been delayed for a month, and COSCO has lost a lot!

"We have repeatedly reiterated that there is nothing you want on the ship, and in order to verify our innocence, you were allowed to inspect our containers, and now, after all the containers have been inspected, you have actually torn up the original agreement, reversed your word, and did not keep your promises. It is even more a blatant violation of the promise that it will never touch the goods of a third country, and it is a hegemonic act to check all the containers on our freighters! The Huaxia representative said: "You don't have any reason to do this!" ”

"We are on orders from Washington." Makyoum said. There is a characteristic American arrogance in the words.

"The agreement we reach in the future should be put into writing and signed by the three parties." Seeing the Americans playing tricks like this, even the Saudi representatives were extremely dissatisfied, and when they said this, they strongly supported the Chinese side and expressed their dissatisfaction with the Americans.

Still expressionless, Makyum said to the Saudi representatives: "I need to ask Washington for this proposal of yours." (To be continued.) )
