Chapter 605: The Ocean Rises and Rains Australia and New Zealand (I)
"Click......click" I saw that the back hatch of the submarine slowly parted to both sides in a burst of mechanical sound, revealing the wide cargo hold inside, and dozens of standard containers were overlapping in the cargo hold.
The people on both sides acted quickly, and they divided into a group of people to go up to the cargo hold of the submarine, tie the sling to the container, and hang the hook. Another group of people skillfully operated the loading and unloading equipment at the dock, hoisting the containers one by one onto the dock. Although Desmond's dock has complete loading and unloading equipment, it does not need the submarine's own crane, but in order to speed up, the submarine's own crane is also helping.
The crane lifts the containers inside onto the trucks that have been prepared on the dock, and after the trucks are loaded, they drive away immediately, unload them at the warehouse next to the docks, and then come back to reload.
At this time, another group of people was taken out of the submarine by the sailors.
Unlike the sailors just now, these people were all dressed in casual clothes, including suits, sportswear and casual clothes. Their expressions were a little nervous, and they looked around curiously.
Desmond looked at the men and asked, "Are they the volunteers this time?"
"Yes, that's them......" Mark nodded.
This mission is quite special, just in case, their group of people are wearing makeup, for example, Desmond is now a big beard, and his face is not like himself at all.
"Okay, let's get in the car and send them ......to Sydney and Canberra tonight," Desmond explained to one of his men.
At this time, a strangely shaped "container" was hoisted out. A group of sailors went over, opened the door, and got in, and in a few moments they came out in a man. They placed the man in the open space of the docks, and the man was clearly unconscious, lying motionless on the ground, and would have been considered a corpse if it weren't for the heaving of his chest.
As the sailors kept coming in and out, a total of 16 of these unconscious creatures were moved from inside.
"This too?" Desmond pointed at the guys.
"Yes. These people are not very honest, so it is best to send them over after they are unconscious. Mark smiled.
"Well, they don't have a few days to live anyway, so they don't need to wake up......," Desmond waved his hand, and immediately a car came, and several workers came down to carry these "corpses" up, and then pulled them away.
After a while, a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper came over and said to Desmond: "Sir, all the checks have been made, there are a total of 376 people, and their identities all match." ”
Desmond nodded and said, "Okay, then let them get on the submarine......
The housekeeper took out his mobile phone and said a few words, and soon seven or eight "Golden Dragon" buses drove from the port, all of which were 60-seat large buses. After the car arrived at the dock, a group of people also came down. These people were all Chinese, and after they got out of the car, they immediately saw the Walrus-class submarine, and they were all stunned.
For ordinary people, such a large submarine has never even heard of it. This group of people immediately began to talk about it.
"Okay, don't look at it, you're going to ride this thing soon, go up and take a look. The young man in the lead immediately said to them: "Now pay attention, line up according to your numbers, and get on the submarine one by one......
"Secretary Wang, are we going home by submarine?" asked a young man excitedly.
"That's right, it's on a submarine. Secretary Wang smiled and said, "However, you can't go back directly, the above has arranged for you to go to Japan for a vacation and have a good time for a month." Oh, it's time for the cherry blossoms to bloom, so let's go to Japan to enjoy the cherry blossoms......"
The men immediately lined up, and several sailors came over and checked them one by one with a list. The list in their hands was accompanied by photographs, and when they checked one of them, they put one in a group, and every group of eight was formed, and a sailor would take them to the submarine.
Rooms have been arranged on the submarine, one for eight people, bunk beds.
"You have to work hard for two days, and when you get to Shanzhou (Port Moresby), you can go on a plane or an airship. The sailor who led the way said: "Remember, don't walk around on the submarine, there is a TV in the room, someone will bring you food, you can stay in the room if you are fine." ”
"Ah, didn't you go to Japan by submarine?" asked a young man disappointed.
"Of course not, we have other things to do. Besides, if you go to Japan by submarine, you may miss the flowering season......" the sailor laughed.
This group of people are all Chinese who are doing business or working in eastern Australia, and their number is also 376, the same number as the people who went down just now. That's right, the group of volunteers and the volunteers are here to replace them, and that group of people will appear in some cities in East Australia in their capacity.
The unloading work on the dock was nearing completion, when several more trucks were driven from the warehouse in the port area, also the same containers. It looks like it's going to be loaded on a submarine.
"This is ......" Mark was a little surprised, this time he only said to send someone to deliver the goods, but did not say to pull back.
Desmond smiled but didn't answer, and made a gesture for the container to be opened. As soon as the door opened, Mark's eyes lit up, and it was covered with silver ingots, all neatly stacked on the shelves, full of containers.
Desmond smiled and said, "400 tons of silver, this is from my mine recently, you can take it back by the way......"
"Okay...... Mark nodded, and immediately called someone over to count them.
New South Wales is rich in minerals, and the silver mines in the Baril Hills are very famous in the original time and space, but they were only discovered in the fifties. When Desmond bought land here, he naturally didn't forget this place, so he bought all this silver mine and mined it himself. Although there is no shortage of silver in China now, there is not too much of this precious metal.
............................................................
Off the coast of Naura.
It was almost five o'clock, and the morning star was already in the sky.
"What's the matter, it's almost dawn, why hasn't that walrus come out yet?" said Taiming with some impatience.
The task they received this time was to escort the walrus-class submarine to Australia, as for what he did exactly, he didn't know, his task was to send the walrus to the ground in its entirety, and then bring it back completely.
Now that the walruses are unloading their cargo in the harbor, the four attack submarines have no choice but to be on guard outside. Captain Tantai had to play with a silver coin in boredom, his craftsmanship was very good, and the silver coin was like a jumping elf, constantly flipping between his fingers, but it couldn't fall.
This silver coin is now in circulation in China, and it is also the third version of the silver coin. Because after the economic crisis, the currencies of various countries were depreciating, and the earliest kind of "Wen Datou" was no longer allowed to circulate, and now it has become a kind of collectible. The new silver coin, issued in 1938, is now considered a "semi-fiat currency" because its value is much lower than its face value.
The gold content of the Chinese currency is 0.5 grams of 24K gold, and the international gold-silver ratio at that time was 1:88, if calculated according to this ratio, one yuan silver coin should be 44 grams of silver to be enough face value, even if you add seigniorage and manufacturing costs, it should be more than 35 grams to be considered face value. But the 1938 silver coin weighs only 25 grams, and has only 90% silver, which is only 22.5 grams. If the 1:100 gold and silver ratio is used this year, it is not even half of the denomination.
With a diameter of 38 mm and a weight of 25 grams, the front is a traditional pattern of gongbi peony, and the back is a fat sparrow with a bit of cartoon style, which looks cute. Except for a very few insiders, they don't quite understand the meaning of this pattern. This is actually the first animal that Wen Deji came into close contact with in order to commemorate himself after crossing into this plane. Well, that sparrow didn't know why, and then he followed Wen Desi and was raised as a pet. Although the original has died of old age, its descendants have been raised by Wende, and there are now seven or eight generations.
Now there is a large flock of sparrows in the presidential palace, and the chirping is not very lively. Because of this, people all over the world think that Wen Desi likes sparrows, and now there are many sparrows in the country, and there are several new varieties of sparrows on the market.
At this time, the intelligence staff officer said: "Captain, I found the Australian warship, in the direction of three o'clock, at a distance of 70 kilometers, at a speed of 20 knots, and the course was right on our ...... From the analysis of voiceprints and line types, it is estimated to be a B-class destroyer. "This B-class destroyer is a specialized anti-submarine destroyer, well, the destroyers made by Britain after the First World War are all anti-submarine emphasis type, and the German wolves in the First World War caused them too much psychological shadow.
"Prepare the torpedo!,, this guy is really looking for trouble......" Akira said immediately. Although the two countries have not declared war now, if the other side has the possibility of spotting the walruses, it can still be sunk. The secrecy of this operation was high and no leaks were allowed.
Tan Taiming is also gearing up, if he eats this destroyer, he will be able to open it. And it's a warship, it's taller than a merchant ship or something. However, it was not just his attack submarine at the scene, in addition to their Mako Shark, there were three other nearby ones, one was the sister ship "Thresher Shark" in service at the same time, and two bottlenose dolphin classes.
The detection systems of these submarines are all about the same, not to mention the battlefield data link transmitted by satellites, and now that the Mako has found the target, then the other three must have also found it.
Wolves have more meat and less meat, how can this be divided?
Just as he was thinking about how to divide the meat with the other three guys, he heard the non-commissioned officer of the communication say: "Captain, the walruses are out......"
"Oh......" He hurriedly looked down, only to see that on the screen in front of him, the walrus submarine had finally moved. "Damn, it's finally out, what the hell is going on. ”
"Sample, you're in luck!" he sighed regretfully as he looked at the cursor that indicated another Australian warship. Because of the current situation, the other party can't find out about them, so naturally they can't do much.
"Dive, turn to ......," he commanded with a look of pity.
