A few days later, the news from the European side made the Executive Committee excited and a little dissatisfied, and the North American Gang's contacts with the underground arms dealers were very smooth, and it was said that the other party showed a fairly sufficient supply of goods, and only waited for payment from this side to deliver the goods. But because of this, the procurement team requested an increase in the purchase of some special armaments, such as MG4 machine guns, RPG rockets, and small-caliber mortars.

The Executive Committee has always had great doubts about whether the group needs to be equipped with such heavy firepower weapons, because the purchase of large quantities of arms is itself an unreasonable behavior in the eyes of the Executive Committee, and the main purpose of everyone traveling to the Ming Dynasty is not to kill a person, to use advanced weapons four hundred years later to flatten the world, even if these hundreds of people are fully armed to the teeth, how many people can be killed? Besides, whether it's a machine gun bullet chain or a mortar shell, this is not something that can be made in a short period of time after crossing, these heavy weapons must be very cool when used, and once the ammunition is exhausted, it is a pile of scrap metal.

After discussion, the Executive Committee urgently dispatched Yan Chujie and Schneider as representatives to personally fly over to participate in this last arms purchase plan, after all, this is the last important item in the preparatory work, and the organization should also pay enough attention to it. However, the committee members who remained in Guangzhou soon regretted this decision, and after the two fellows went, instead of vetoing the North American gang's plan, they added more content, so that all the funds that had been saved on the ship project were filled back.

In fact, the additional expenses proposed by Yan Chujie and Schneider were not without reason, in addition to the automatic rifles and pistols that the North American gang ordered in Europe, almost all kinds of firearms and military equipment that could be purchased were also purchased in small quantities, so that they could be imitated in the future after the production level reached in another time and space. After all, modern firearms are not low-level equipment such as arquebuses that can be made by knowing the principle, and having a physical comparison can make future imitations take many detours. As a result, the content of the procurement list has naturally increased greatly, and the cost must not be controlled. In addition, the guns and ammunition already weighed several tons, and the question of how to transport this batch of arms from Europe to Asia became another problem. Fortunately, Schneider has a lot of contacts in Europe, and it only took a short time to find a solution to buy a ship.

The Executive Committee was already unable to meet the unplanned procurement plan, so in the end, the North American Gang raised its own funds to purchase two self-powered Polish-made sailing yachts, one large and one small, and the two ships would also participate in the crossing as their personal property. One is 25 meters long and 11 meters wide, with two 330 hp diesel engines with a displacement of 75 tons, while the other is 21 metres long and 10 metres wide, with two 240 hp diesel engines. It is worth noting that both ships are dhows catamarans, and their large and wide hulls make their load and seaworthiness much better than that of ordinary sailing yachts of the same tonnage. The boat is fully equipped with all the amenities it can easily reach speeds of more than 10 knots even without the use of an engine propulsion, and the sail rigging on board is extremely easy to operate, requiring only two or three crew members to drive. As long as there are enough supplies, the self-sustaining power of these two ships at sea can be maintained for more than half a month, and even in another time and space, they can continue to be used as tools for rapid transportation at sea and crew skills training.

Of course, with these two ships, the personal baggage allowance issued by the Executive Committee will not work for the North American gang, as long as the ship can fit as much as they want. After completing the procurement plan, Yan Chujie and Schneider returned to Guangzhou first, and in addition to staying behind to be responsible for the final receipt and loading of the ship, the North American Gang will also drive these two ships south through the Mediterranean Sea, through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden all the way to the Indian Ocean, after passing through the Strait of Malacca into the South China Sea, and finally rendezvous with the large army in Sanya, Hainan.

It will definitely be a very strenuous voyage that can last up to several months. However, the North Americans are very interested in this and insist on completing this special journey before they cross. In the words of Tom Wang, an expert in North American sailing, the hydrological route data that can be accumulated after this trip will definitely play an extremely important role in opening up the Asia-Europe shipping route on his own after going to another time and space. Of course, for the sake of safety, the two ships will not go deep into the ocean, and the route along the way will not be too far from the coastline, after all, their main task is to transport this batch of arms to Hainan before April, otherwise the entire crossing plan will be greatly affected.

In March, the Executive Committee announced that all the staff had entered the final stage of preparation, and all the final participants in the program would be assembled in Sanya and Guangzhou, and the recruitment of new members and bulk materials would be completely stopped. At the beginning of April, Sanya will hold the annual "Haitian Feast", and all members will complete the final crossing together.

The Executive Committee set the final action at this time, firstly, considering that during the event, a large number of tourists will pour into Sanya from all over the country, and the hundreds of people will not attract too much attention;

Most of the people who rushed to Sanya in advance were members of several industrial departments such as industry, agriculture, and construction, and they were about to start replicating modern industrial civilization on this land after crossing over, and there was a lot of field work that they needed to carry out in advance. Of course, the military police department in charge of Yan Chujie had already rushed to Sanya to start surveying the terrain, but in order to avoid extraneous complications, they did not take the area around Yulin Port as the focus of the investigation, but walked a few back and forth from Yacheng Town to Sanya City, because the Yazhou Governance Office at the end of the Ming Dynasty was in Yacheng Town, which was also the first military target they needed to deal with after crossing.

On March 20, the Executive Committee closed its offices in Guangzhou and destroyed all relevant documents. The members of the crossing are allowed to contact friends and family one last time, after which they must stop using all means of communication, cut off social ties, and enter a pre-crossing "dormant" state. Then all the personnel arrived in Sanya by plane in batches according to the arrangement of the Executive Committee, and checked into several hotels that had been booked.

On 25 March, the last batch of 40 sets of color steel prefabricated houses of the Executive Committee on the mainland was hoisted onto the ship from the Chiwan Wharf in Shenzhen and sailed south.

On 26 March, two catamarans departing from the port city of Budva in the Republic of Montenegro finally arrived safely at the Banshan Peninsula Sailing Port in the Luhuitou Development Zone of Sanya after 84 days. The main reason for this long time is that after the ship was loaded with a large amount of munitions and supplies, the carrying of supplies became quite limited, so that some of the original sailing routes had to be modified, and the number of stops and supplies along the route was increased. It is worth mentioning that Johnson, the only surgeon in the North American gang who has already started a family, actually let his wife and two daughters who are still in elementary school fly from North America to Europe to rendezvous, and the family completed this amazing journey together on the ship. The unexpected benefit of this was that there was a lot less trouble when making docks along the way, and no one would have thought that these two sailboats with small children would have tons of contraband hidden.

On March 29, the last batch of supplies from the Ministry of Agriculture was loaded onto a fleet of barges heading south from Haikou in Yingzhou Town, east of Sanya. And this is also the last batch of loading materials in the entire crossing plan.

On 30 March, the leaders of each action group named their own groups, which should have reached 445 people, but actually reached 450 people, and one of the five extra people was a foreign girl girlfriend who had been deceived by Gu Kai into coming to Hainan, and the other four were all children of single parents who had already been fostered by relatives who participated in the crossing, and were finally brought to Hainan by reluctant parents before the operation began.

On the afternoon of March 31, the Executive Committee announced a 24-hour holiday, and everyone could move freely in the city of Sanya, and at the same time, 5,000 yuan of activity funds were distributed to everyone, which was the last bit of cash in the Executive Committee's hands. All members must return to their quarters by 10 p.m. on 1 April, and all members will depart for boarding at 11 p.m. Of course, alcohol is strictly forbidden on this day for all ship pilots, including the reserves.

As to whether or not to allow the members to carry out this final madness, in fact, the Executive Committee has gone through some controversy. The conservative opinion is that since the members have been put into a "dormant" state, there should be no large-scale appearance at this last moment for security reasons, while the other group believes that since they are all about to say goodbye to this world, they should finally be humane and give all members a chance to freely choose how to say goodbye. Having said that, only the executive committee has issued these 5,000 yuan on these members, and it is really difficult to do something, you must know that during the Haitian feast, local tyrants from all over the country poured into here in droves, and the prices of the entire Sanya have risen several times, especially the entertainment venues and some adult entertainment projects have reached an astonishing level.

The members all went out and went crazy in the end, but there was no way for the members of the executive committee to relax. They had to go to each ship one last time to check the availability of supplies, and then deduce a landing plan on paper. Although this kind of deduction has been done many times, everyone knows that each step above must be well understood, so that in the later landing operation, the command can be measured, and the order of unloading and landing will not be mistaken. Sun Changmi and Yue Zhiyun from the shipping department, as well as Tom Wang, a young Chinese from North America, will serve as the interim head of the team, jointly directing the entire operation process from the departure of the fleet to the landing and docking after the crossing.

After dinner on 1 April, the members returned to their respective resident hotels, where they were then assembled by the heads of the operational teams. The extra luggage has already been packed on board, and now the members only need to take some belongings with them. Although many people were drunk when they came back, they finally didn't get to the point where they got lost.

At 10 o'clock that night, all the personnel were counted and there were no omissions, and they began to set off separately as planned to board the ship at several mooring points on different piers. The Military Police Department has placed personnel to supervise each ship, and each boarder is required to present an identification plate issued in advance, also in case of last-minute problems.

At 11:30 a.m., on board the main ship "New World", Tao Donglai issued a departure order on the Guò radio station, marking the official start of the final crossing operation. The ships slowly sailed out of different piers and headed south towards the predetermined meeting point at sea.
