Chapter 524: The Battleship Sets Sail (1)
"Yang Hao's two tattered battleships have set sail!"
A startling message reached many people and decision-makers around the world at the same time, including the head of the overseas affairs department in China and the team of agents still working on Hong Kong Island.
Although the characters and positions are different, several sides invariably refer to the two battleships as "tattered". Other than that, I really can't find a more appropriate adjective.
The agents on Hong Kong Island looked at a series of photos from close-up, aerial photography, satellite photography, and even from the interior, and all of them had expressions of disdain.
Most of them came from the traditional powers, which had built powerful battleships a hundred years ago. Both in displacement and in armament, it surpassed these two so-called warships. In their opinion, this is simply an old toy that has been played enough, and probably only Chinese who have never caught it will be regarded as a treasure.
"Look, this rough welding process, and such a messy pipeline layout, God knows if they will be broken up by a wave when they drive into the sea?"
The British made unceremonious teasing. It is true that the British Empire has fallen, but they still have enough self-confidence to defy the vast majority of people when it comes to building ships. Especially if you stand on a hostile position, you can't give the other side any good evaluation.
The European gentlemen let out a burst of laughter. But only a young man in a suit looked at each photo carefully and calmly, and then asked the person who delivered the news: "Are you sure that these two ships are not armed?" β
The other party nodded affirmatively: "It's our dark line in it that has been confirmed again and again." And, before the departure of the battleship. They've done tours that are open to the outside. No reservations are intended. So. To be sure, the various turrets erected on it are ornaments. β
A French gentleman waved his hand casually: "There's no need to waste time on him." It's just two pieces of steel waste, and even if there are shells, what can you do? It only takes two torpedoes to take him out! I don't know what their value is other than the amount of fuel they consume. β
"In that case, then why are we still using these two warships? If it is only for the purpose of transporting the personnel and equipment of his defense company, it is completely possible to lease a cheaper and more economical commercial cargo ship. I think there must be something wrong with this, and we should stop him from passing through the Suez Canal. β
The one who always keeps the dissenting opinion. It was Mr. who proposed to introduce Yang Hao into a senior partner before, and later made a big mess in Manila.
The competition between agents is fierce, it is not easy for them to get their current position, it is even more difficult to go further, and no one wants to make mistakes and be caught by other opponents. Conversely, as long as there is an opportunity to step on others, they will not let them go.
The Englishman immediately sneered: "Mr. Anderson, I suggest that you calculate the losses of the last time first, and then consider the rest." As it turns out, your so-called solicitation scheme simply won't work. That in addition to causing us up to a billion in losses. Nothing came of it. In the annual rating, I'm afraid it will be quite unoptimistic. β
A few schadenfreude voices rang out next to him.
Mr. Anderson, who always remained calm and groomed, was not angry. Smile and gently shake your head, then flick your finger over the photo in a thoughtful pose.
An old gentleman with gray temples knocked his pipe on the table and said in an elegant tone: "Gentlemen, it is understandable to give due importance to an adversary who can cause us a great deal of trouble. The intention of each of his moves should be clarified, so as to avoid uncontrollable accidents. We need to know how much impact he will have on the situation on the ground by sending these two ships to Libya and Tunisia. Was it part of some hostile plan he had made? β
"Mr. Solomon, are you being too cautious? Yes, that amazing Mr. Yang did have some unexpected actions, but it was not enough to prove that he had the qualifications to challenge the big picture that we have regulated. And we all know that some of his actions are not liked by the Chinese government, and even many people are extremely disgusted by his recklessness and disobedience. Such a lone lion, no matter how strong he looks, is actually easy to defeat. β
The haughty Englishman had a scheming face, waving his Havana cigar in his hand to accentuate his tone as he spoke, his two slender eyebrows beating in rhythm, and his hair was black and slightly curly.
This is a Jew from an ancient family.
Solomon and Anderson exchanged glances very quickly, and there was not the slightest abnormality on their faces.
They are well aware that there are quite a few differences between the agents. There are as many people who value Yang Hao as there are those who despise Yang Hao, and the former is divided into three factions: strangulation, control and co-optation in advance. The English Jew, on the other hand, represents the disapproving part.
In fact, those people are more concerned about how to grasp the general trend of the world economy through financial and political manipulation, constantly create various events to affect international oil prices, and even fluctuations in the prices of various raw materials, and earn hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth from them.
Making money seems to them more important than anything else.
Solomon and Anderson are more concerned with mastering the whole world. They are also staunch supporters of the grand idea of reshaping the world.
Solomon and the others regarded Yang Hao as a variable that could bring destruction, so they had to try to get rid of it. Anderson, on the other hand, thought that he could be co-opted as a representative of the future pyramid cornerstones.
In several ways, they all disagree with the guys who are full of money. In the view of Anderson and others, money and wealth are nothing more than an accessory to the ruling power. As long as you get world domination, how much money do you want is not a matter of words?
The Jews, on the other hand, saw it that all human beings were born to be profit-seeking, so that if they grasped the core laws of the workings of money and wealth, they could indirectly control the whole world.
These are two irreconcilable contradictions. But looking at the current situation around the world, it seems that the Jewish profile has temporarily taken the lead, including the most powerful of all, the United States and the United Kingdom, the traditional powers of Europe. It's all the financial consortium calling for wind and rain behind the scenes.
Only in China. They tried for decades without success.
Chinese culture since ancient times. Placing imperial rule at the top, successive dynasties were particularly vigilant against the infiltration and manipulation of officialdom by commercial capital and pecuniary interests. Especially in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party supported by Jin merchants and salt merchant capital controlled the government and caused chaos in the world, resulting in the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, which made the later Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and the Republic of China extremely vigilant.
Nowadays, although the unhealthy atmosphere of "everything looks at money" is permeated everywhere in the republic, and collusion between officials and businessmen is the norm everywhere, it is at all levels. Mere commercial capital can never be above the power of government.
This is a red line that cannot be crossed, and anyone who tries to cross it, even if he is in the position of an elder, will still be dethroned!
The Jews were not satisfied with this, and the huge republic, with a population of 1.1 billion and 9.6 million square kilometers of land, was a huge scar on the puzzle of the world they had designed!
The Anglo-Saxon descendants of white supremacy are also not satisfied, and they find themselves in the vast web of the world that they have carefully woven for hundreds of years, twenty years after the end of the Cold War. A large number of notches are being re-torn apart. Chinese capital has conquered cities in Africa and South America, and some of the pioneers have been deployed as early as 50 years ago. Coupled with the huge wealth output of today's republic, it has become an important force to destroy the centuries of domination or remote control they have formed there.
The plan of hundreds of years is to be bad, this cliff can't bear it!
They have elaborately devised various tactics to besiege China, supported and bribed various organizations to create incidents, instigated public opinion, distorted facts, smeared the government, and disrupted the hearts of the people, all in an attempt to subvert the official authority of the republic and the correctness of its rule. Then, a new regime headed by compradors and foreign slaves will be proposed, and the vast China and the billions of people will become their eternal slaves.
They did it a hundred years ago, and they were crushed.
Now, it's just a comeback.
Gathering the strength of the world to deal with China is a general trend, a great cause with magnificent waves, and the heroes who are surging in their chests are the heroism of creating history.
But Yang Hao, such a small person, jumped up and set up the seedlings, and let them fail several times, and the cliff couldn't bear it!
Killing Yang Hao to set an example is almost unanimous opinion. Even Mr. Andrew, who was going to be subdued, had to use a thunder attack to defeat Yang Hao's arrogance first, so that he could feel shocked and convinced. After that, it's easy to negotiate a settlement.
It turned out to be a failure, and it was a terrible defeat.
It's strange to say that Andrew is comfortable in his heart!
But as agents who can sit on an equal footing with the head of a country, they have their own pride and persistence. Andrew didn't think there was anything wrong with his thinking, he just felt that the last operation was too manipulative, he didn't understand all the information, and the mistake caused by rash action.
He still has a chance to redeem himself, and it just so happens that Yang Hao quickly gave him the opportunity to do it again.
Mr. Andrew took a deep breath and made up his mind. Raising his head and looking around at everyone, he said solemnly: "I apply to carry out a shocking blow to Yang Hao again and destroy the main force of his defense company." β
No matter how strong a lion is, once it is killed by the predatory lioness, it will inevitably starve to death alone.
Yang Hao, who has become the commander of the light pole, what capital does he have to fight against the powerful strike force? In desperation, he had no choice but to submit.
Andrew is convinced that the end result must be this way.
In the capital, the head of the Overseas Affairs Department slapped the table and got angry: "Look, look!" It's only been a few days, and this kid is ready to do something again! Good guys, both battleships are out, this is going to start a world war! β
What are they afraid of, the meaning of the leaders is to let them tie their hands and feet, and they dare not give a ban on Yang Hao. But the head of the halter is too loose, and there will be moths immediately, can this job be done well!
I can't criticize and question the leaders, I can only vent my anger at my subordinates, although it doesn't seem graceful and steady enough, it's better than holding myself out.
The supervisor was sweating profusely, unbuttoning his shirt and turning back and forth, as restless as a tiger trapped in a cage, his fingers were empty, and his iron mouth was cut off: "Look at it, his trick will definitely anger some people!" ran to other people's land and made a fool of himself, and waited for someone to sink the boat, he cried and cried and cried out for injustice! β
The subordinates had the heart to remind him that in fact, the Philippines, where they made trouble last time, is also someone else's territory! Didn't Yang Hao just get out of the way?
Just think about it, though. Say this. Not far from bad luck.
The leader in charge thinks about it. I think this matter should be reported to the above. It's more appropriate. He couldn't tell what bad tricks Yang Hao was holding back in his heart, but don't make a basket and make them unable to clean up.
At the critical moment, new news came from outside: "Yang Hao himself is on the ship." β
"Huh?! He personally dispatched it?! β
The leader in charge was taken aback, his eyebrows twisted into a pimple, he thought for a full minute, and waved his hand resolutely: "Forget it, let's wait and see what happens." In addition, arrangements will be made for the Africa Division to make preparations for the protection and evacuation of overseas Chinese in advance. Once you get a big problem. Don't be in a hurry. β
The subordinates became nervous, and such an arrangement meant that the leaders were worried about the war over there! Is Yang Hao really so capable of creating a comprehensive chaos in the region?
Eastern Mediterranean.
Two 30,000-ton battleships, an old Soviet destroyer, and a cargo ship converted supply ship slowly drove through the Suez Canal into northern Egypt to dock at Alexandria.
Such a rudimentary and outrageous fleet has a comprehensive combat strength that surpasses the vast majority of destroyers in service in the world today. But look at where it belongs. But you can understand one or two.
The battleships were named "Kenya" and "Human Source", respectively, and were nominally subordinate to the Kenyan Navy. But it's actually leased to act as a faΓ§ade. In normal times, it is not used for war at all, but more for tourists who come to Kenya to visit, and from time to time to walk around the coastal waters to earn admission money.
The other is the defense company, which is also a lease contract. This time, it was the first time that the lease was signed, but it played only one role - a transport ship!
It's not uncommon to use warships as transport ships, but it's a bit strange to use two battleships with incredible fuel guzzling to serve as mercenaries. So it's normal for the big guy to suspect that Yang Hao has ulterior motives.
Fortunately, there was no shipboard artillery ammunition to be found on either ship, and the torpedo tubes were empty, all of them were furnishings. Moreover, all the main and secondary weapons are World War II models, and even if you want to fight, you have nowhere to find shells. So that the Suez Canal can pass relatively smoothly, as for whether there is anyone to do work from it, that is another matter.
In short, this fleet successfully reached the Mediterranean, and Yang Hao also generously stood on the top of the towering compass bridge of the flagship "Human Source". Leoni, who was evacuated from Manila last time and was picked up by a mysterious submarine, stood by his side!
At the same time, there are several middle-aged and elderly Slavic people with distinctive characteristics, scattered all over the lookout, as if observing the scenery.
One of them, a bearded old man who was about sixty years old, spewed a mouth full of wine, stared at Yang Hao with red eyes, and said, "I still don't understand, you just use such a few broken boats to pull a few refugees, how can you make those bastards feel pain?" In my opinion, the ship should be filled with shells and missiles, and then smashed into their heads! β
Yang Hao frowned, and regretted a little in his heart that he had put this group of old hairymen up.
These were all comrades brought by Leoni from Russia and Europe, and regardless of their age, they all had a strong nostalgia for the former Soviet Union, and for twenty years they had been thinking about the day when the great Soviet could be revived and the red bear could be recreated.
It's just that the difference between the ideal and the reality is too great, and they haven't really achieved much for so many years. The most awesome thing is to become the brains of the underground gangsters in various countries, smuggling arms and people, controlling the leather and meat business in a place, or being a mercenary to fight everywhere, and so on.
In the end, none of them had the Lenin and Iron comrades of the past, nor the leaders of the mustaches, who could not unite their scattered forces into a single fist.
The real world is full of all kinds of temptations, but the resistance is thousands of times greater than a hundred years ago, and great undertakings look like castles in the air, and no matter how colorful the bubbles blow, they are easy to be punctured by a finger.
NaΓ―ve children will always ask, "The great Soviet Union in the past, as it is now, could everyone eat, drink, and be entertained, buy world famous brands at will, and travel everywhere at will?" β
The old people could not lie to their descendants, because in those days, only the upper bureaucrats could enjoy what they could freely enjoy. The vast majority of the lower classes live like animals. Especially in the 80s, it was even more miserable. Although later democracy came, their lives did not get better, but worse, but to say that they miss the Soviet Union, it is really not an easy question to answer.
Now, they have a Leoni, and with the support of Yang Hao, a master who once recreated China in the second plane, he just gave a rough idea, but it also gave a glimmer of hope to many middle-aged and elderly Maozi who couldn't see the way forward.
So they came to a large group to see with their own eyes how Yang Hao operated.
In this regard, Yang Hao could only selectively reveal some details to them: "There will be artillery shells and missiles, but they are not the means to be used immediately." Our enemies are the best conspirators, and we must first break their plans to deal with them. Now they have erected an America as a beacon of freedom, almost the embodiment of all virtues and order. Let's start from here and smash their chastity arch first. β
The archway of chastity can be translated in the past, and it can be replaced by the Statue of Liberty, the meaning of which is easy for the old Maozi to understand.
The old man Nikolaev thought about it and suddenly realized: "Oh! Understood, just as they doubted Lenin, Stalin, and the legitimacy and correctness of the CPSU in those days, they tore down the monument in the minds of the people, first destroyed the symbol of cohesion, and the rest will be easy to do! β
When the Soviet Union collapsed, many people learned from the facts and looked for various reasons. Of course, these people who are determined to return to the country will not fail to read those books, and it is not surprising that they can understand Yang Hao's methods.
Understanding and understanding means agreeing.
Nikolaev pulled his arm around: "However, it took a lot of effort for them to do it at the beginning, and now you are using a little refugee as a cover, and you can't hurt a single hair against the powerful American imperialists, right?" β
Yang Hao smiled confidently and said, "Don't underestimate a few refugees." Sometimes, if you look like a towering high-rise building, as long as you shine on its stress point, it may only take a few hammers to blow it, and it will collapse! β
The old man Nikolaev nodded with a blank face, feeling that he might need to drink more Erguotou, his brain was a little ineffective, and it was difficult to understand Yang Hao's profound metaphor.
Whether he understands it or not, the plan is firmly executed.
While the fleet was docked in Alexandria for supplies, many small boats took advantage of the darkness to quietly bring up hundreds of Egyptians.
And in the originally empty cabin of the battleship, there are countless steel frame beds out of thin air, which is enough to accommodate thousands of people! (To be continued......)
