Chapter 201 Not to be taken lightly
Looking at the 'Sea Dragon' sailing in the sea, the salvage team members who had worked hard all night seemed to have no intention of sleeping. Looking at the sun rising from the sea level, many of the team members felt that this morning was exceptionally beautiful.
Previously, everyone felt that the salvage at sea might be fruitless. It took nearly a month and a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end he returned empty-handed, which is somewhat regrettable.
But no one expected that surprises would always come at the last moment. According to Xu Haibao's estimates, the value of the gold excavated from the submarine cave should be around one billion. Of course, the billion referred to here is not RMB, but a more valuable American knife.
Thinking that after this batch of gold is converted into money, all members of the salvage team can share the corresponding dividend income. These salvage team members, who are not too well-off, also know that their lives will be changed.
It is not too much to describe them as 'once rich'. Even many of the team members are wondering, what should they do after they get that money, and how should they spend all this money?
Even if many team members know that compared with other foreign salvage companies, Xu Haibao gives them the most superior treatment. So with this money, can they end their jobs and enjoy the rest of their lives?
The treasure is charming, Xu Haibao, who knows this truth, but he didn't pour too much chicken soup for the soul into the team members. In his opinion, this process must be experienced by these salvage team members. Whether they can resist the temptation depends on their next choice.
In contrast, several people in charge of the salvage team, although their mood also fluctuated greatly, they still remained calm. They know more about Xu Haibao than ordinary team members, and they know who the biggest credit is for the success of this salvage.
In other words, without Xu Haibao's solicitation, I am afraid that many of them are still facing an embarrassing life after retiring. Even many people have to receive a small number of disability subsidies and stay in the medical queue every day to register.
If they choose to leave, they believe that Xu Haibao will not stay. Correspondingly, their comradeship with Xu Haibao may also come to an end. So will the money they receive this time be enough to spend the rest of their lives?
Money, indeed, is a good thing. But if you are completely dominated by money, such a life can also turn into a disaster!
Staying in the lounge of the salvage ship, finishing the early morning meditation and cultivation, refining and refining the absorbed purple qi of heaven and earth, Xu Haibao also walked out of the lounge. Looking at the people standing on the deck in a daze, Xu Haibao couldn't help but clap his hands.
After attracting everyone's attention, Xu Haibao also said directly: "Now that we are still on the high seas, even if we return to China as quickly as possible, I believe we will need to drift at sea for a few days, and now we still can't relax our vigilance."
No matter how excited you are at the moment, I want you to stay calm. I appreciate your attitude when you worked last night, but at this moment, I feel a little disappointed, your mentality is out of balance.
As a professional salvage team member, I hope that you can learn from the officers and soldiers of the armed police who are responsible for escorting gold, and be able to look at money more lightly, and do not let money dominate your thoughts. After all, money is earned by people and spent on it!"
Listening to Xu Haibao's words, most of them have seen the news that the armed police escort troops have often slept on money and gold. Even if they knew that this comparison was inappropriate, everyone still felt a little empty-hearted.
Fortunately, Xu Haibao didn't say much, and quickly said: "Except for the staff on duty, the rest of the people are all resting." Including the salvage team, in the subsequent return to China, it must also serve as the corresponding duty guard to ensure the safe return of the ship. ”
"Yes!"
When the team members were driven back to the cabin by Xu Haibao to rest, Zhao Ji, who was in charge of guarding, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said: "These guys, it seems that your words are more effective." But this matter really needs to be slowed down!"
"It's okay! I understand, but I can't be overly indulgent. I haven't said anything since last night, just to give them time to relieve. Now that the ship has left the salvage site, it must be put into working condition.
If they don't have a good rest, what kind of emergencies will they encounter next, and they will have the energy and physical strength to deal with it? You know, we are like dolls holding ingots, although they are hidden in their pockets, they still can't be taken lightly!"
"Understood!"
"Okay, you've worked hard all night, hurry up and rest! As for the remaining oil from the salvage ships, we are afraid that we still need to dock at a port for oil replenishment, and we must not relax our vigilance before entering the South China Sea. ”
"Okay! I'll go rest now!"
Salvaging the treasure of the sunken ship is naturally a joyous thing. On the way back to China, you also need to stop at some ports to replenish fuel. No one dares to guarantee that their low-key salvage operation will not attract the attention of some people.
In short, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Haibao hopes that the salvage team can appear more calm. If they all seem nervous, they will inevitably attract the attention of others. It is also very likely that it will be intercepted on the high seas at that time.
Considering this situation, Xu Haibao took the satellite mobile phone assembled by the special institute and quickly dialed Tian Haoming's number. Usually, Xu Haibao places this satellite phone in the space. The reason is that the mobile phone has a satellite positioning function.
As the mobile phone was quickly connected, Tian Haoming, who was on the other end of the phone, also smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, good morning!"
"Didn't disturb your rest, did you?"
"No, I heard that you went to sea, you should be abroad now, right?
"There's something I want you to talk to the hospital about. If I can, I hope that the navy can organize a temporary training exercise in the open sea. Two days later, if all goes well, my Sea Dragon will enter the Bass Strait. ”
Listening to Xu Haibao's words, Tian Haoming was also taken aback and said: "Yuanhai training! This matter needs to be reported!"
"That's just my personal advice, if you don't think it's going to work, forget it. If the navy thinks it is feasible, then I can personally bear 100 million yuan for the cost of this ocean-going training!"
Carry out an ocean-going training, and the oil consumed will naturally not be a few. Compared with the fuel consumption of salvage ships, the fuel consumption of warships is undoubtedly greater. But Xu Haibao proposed to bear the cost of 100 million yuan, undoubtedly to pay for the navy to conduct training.
Although he felt that this proposal was a bit ridiculous, Xu Haibao knew very well that in the next few years, the Navy would conduct similar offshore training many times a year, including the frequent ocean-going trials of the aircraft carrier fleet.
"Is something wrong?"
In Tian Haoming's opinion, Xu Haibao should not make such a ridiculous suggestion. But Xu Haibao actually made this suggestion, so it must have a deep meaning. Otherwise, it would not have been specifically stated that his salvage ship would enter the Bass Strait in two days.
Faced with Tian Haoming's inquiry, Xu Haibao thought for a while and said: "I can't reveal too much about the specifics! I can only say that if my salvage ship returns to China safely." I'm sure the country will be happy.
In recent years, the countries surrounding the South China Sea have been jumping up and down, and the actions of the little devils are even more hateful. This time I went to sea and found some evidence about the crimes of the little devils in World War II. I'm worried that when the news gets out, someone will take a risk. ”
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"Well, I'll send you a video later, and you can take it, and find some translators who are proficient in Japanese to translate the photos I took. I am sure that this information will be of interest to the above. ”
"Okay! I'll get back to you right away if there's a message!"
found the salvage video of the previous prisoner of war merchant ship, and Xu Haibao transmitted it to Tian Haoming remotely. As for the notebook he found, Xu Haibao also took a lot of photos and a list, and passed them to Tian Haoming together.
I have come to the office and urgently contacted the senior management of the hospital after a remote video conference. Seeing these video materials transmitted by Xu Haibao, everyone who watched the video was also taken aback, feeling that there were too many corpses on the sunken ship.
and other translated translations based on the pictures and texts sent by Xu Haibao. It didn't take long for everyone attending the meeting to know that this notebook was a record of the crimes committed by the Japanese army against Allied prisoners of war during World War II.
The prisoners of war on this ship were the Allied prisoners of war that the Japanese army forcibly recruited to the Solomon Islands for the construction of fortifications. Before the Allies were about to launch a counteroffensive, the merchant ships moved the prisoners of war, only to be accidentally sunk in a storm on the way.
As for the list, it should be a list of prisoners of war provided by the military. Such information may not be of much use in China. But for the Allied powers in the early years, they may be of great interest.
At such a sensitive time, broadcasting this video and the list is believed to make the international community more disgusted with the little devil. In the same way, if the news is known to the little devils, it is possible to take the risk of destroying the evidence.
"Get in touch with the Navy and hear what they have to say. Since Mr. Xu is willing to bear 100 million yuan in training expenses, I believe that the navy should consider it. And I don't think they have that on board!"
After comprehensively considering the situation, the top management of the Special Secretariat, however, held an emergency meeting with the navy. Of course, such meetings are highly confidential. Not long after, a training formation composed of several warships set off for the South China Sea for emergency training.
Unbeknownst to the commander of the fleet, this was an impromptu decision in response to a salvage ship. However, such an emergency ocean-going exercise is also a kind of combat readiness emergency drill for the naval fleet.
The only thing that is a little puzzling is that the fleet carries a certain base of weapons and ammunition to sea. Although the training area is not sensitive, such a move would still come as a surprise.
received a text message from Tian Haoming, and Xu Haibao did not tell the salvage team about it. The next day, after refueling at a small port, the salvage ship went to sea again and headed straight for the Bass Strait at a relatively normal speed!
