Chapter 634: A Rare Vacation

After resting in Virginia Beach for two days and visiting the Maritime Museum in Norfolk at Jason's recommendation, Jack drove back to New York City in a firebird.

The National Maritime Museum in Norfolk is the USS Wisconsin, the last of the Iowa class battleships, BB-64, the same type as the USS Missouri in the movie "Supership".

Of course, the Wisconsin is certainly not as well-known as the latter, after all, the USS Missouri is much better known as the site of the neon unconditional surrender signing ceremony, and the ship is currently mothballed in Hawaii and has also become a maritime museum.

It is said that the big ship and the giant cannon are the romance of men, although the battleship has long since withdrawn from the stage of history, but the three 406 mm/50 times the diameter triple main gun emplacement is still exciting.

This is the glory of the heyday of the old imperialism, and the sad modern history has made the Chinese people miss a glorious century, although they have also begun to launch all kinds of large surface ships like dumplings in recent years, but no matter how large the tonnage of the mediocre aircraft carrier is, it cannot enter the eyes of the multi-turret gods.

I'm afraid that by the time the next era of big ships and cannons comes, human beings at that time should have really broken out of the atmosphere.

It was also a reminder to him, because right in New York, on the banks of the Hudson River, there was also an Essex-class aircraft carrier - the USS Intrepid.

The aircraft carrier has also been converted into a museum, and with the natural history museum that Jack has long wanted to visit, he plans to go back this time to give himself a vacation.

——

"5 days vacation for two people, no more." The female boss Dana Moge stretched out a palm, her face was quite unkind, this guy had been gone for more than three months, and when she came back, she abducted Hannah and went on vacation, which really made her feel beautiful.

"Thank you very much." Jack flattered him with a souvenir, a large box of oysters and blue crabs kept fresh with ice packs.

Virginia Beach is adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay, the largest producer of oysters on the East Coast, and the sea temperatures are low enough that the meat from them is much firmer.

Jack wasn't too interested in oysters, except for a little that he kept for steaming garlic vermicelli, most of the more than ten pounds of Lin Haven Hou oysters brought back this time were given to Regan's family for a weekend dinner, and the rest was distributed to his female boss and Jubal.

The danger level of Mexico's operation is not too high for Jack, after all, he followed the seals all the way, and was backed by the famous US military, which is still indisputable and the world's number one military force.

Whether it is the super-first-class equipment logistics or the Marine Corps on standby on the Mexican side, even if they are facing a big drug lord who can be called a local separatist force, they have always maintained a crushing posture.

In fact, being able to force the seals to the last end is enough to be proud of Doza, which his "predecessors" have not been able to do.

But from another point of view, this operation also made Jack really feel some pressure, this is the first time he has participated in such a large operation at the national level, and he has also played a rather important role in it, which is biased towards the command level.

If in the past cases, when Jack was on the front line, he only needed to pay attention to his own safety and take care of his partner at most.

Then in this operation, he has to think about not one or two people.

The accuracy of intelligence analysis and even every statement made when participating in the decision-making of the operation needs to be carefully considered, because it is not only the success or failure of an operation, but also the life of each member of the operation.

Therefore, this joint operation is equivalent to a very meaningful practical lesson for Jack, captain Jason's decision-making on the battlefield, deputy Ray Perry's control of the physical and psychological state of each member of Team B at all times, and Colonel Martinez's daily management of his army.

These are the best words and deeds, and they give Jack a lot of inspiration, which is not something that can be learned by reading a few so-called management books.

He had a feeling that if he could put these things to good use that would not be systematically included in his skills, he might one day be able to lead a special operations team, like Rossi and Hodgner, to lead a group of elites to solve all kinds of challenging mysteries around the country.

Of course, the most important thing is that if you become a leader one day, you don't need to face a large stack of documents and reports after every action, you can hire a secretary for yourself, and if you have something to do, you can do nothing. Cough.

Even Jack, the secretary candidate, has already thought about it, and when the time comes, he will dig up Jiejie, and in the future, there will be Hannah outside the main body, and when he enters, there will be Jiejie inside, and behind them are the two royal sisters who seem to have become the upper echelons of the political circle, isn't it beautiful?

Speaking of Jiejie, about Jack's harvest this time, the red-necked chick was not interested in the huge starlight emerald gemstone, and generously said that he could use it to please Jiejie, but he couldn't put down the two golden Colt 1911A1 gold pistols.

So Jack asked Henry Regan, the old man of the Reggan family, and entrusted this high-quality emerald gemstone, which weighed up to 16 carats and was almost imperceptible to the naked eye, to an old Irish jeweler, and asked him to set it in a platinum necklace.

The upper echelons of Europe and the United States are also very respectful of emeralds, and many famous crowns and ornaments are inlaid with this large emerald, which can bring a great surprise to Jiejie.

It's another five-day vacation, last time Jack and Hannah went to Niagara Falls to enjoy some natural scenery, this time because someone had just been out of the house, the two were newly married after a long absence, so they simply arranged a one-day trip.

In the morning, visit the Intrepid Aircraft Museum, the 270-meter-long deck of this aircraft carrier has many interesting things on display compared to the battleships with turrets, such as the predecessor of the SR-71 "Blackbird" high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, the Lockheed A-12, one of the only supersonic passenger aircraft in the world to be put into commercial operation, the Concorde.

In addition, there are a lot of fighters, helicopters and AWACS aircraft that Jack can name or not, and the most surprising thing to him is that Lao Mei actually put the world's first space shuttle, the Enterprise, into the hangar below deck.

Although he prefers Lao Su's Buran back then, in fact, the latter is indeed more advanced, but who made Lao Su not fight for himself later.

After visiting the Natural History Museum in the afternoon, the two of them changed into formal dresses and went to be the boss for a while to taste the taste of the three-Michelin star, this French restaurant called "PER SE" cost 400 dollars just for the reservation fee.

The dinner cost about $1,500 in total, and the two tried a variety of so-called high-end ingredients, including caviar with oysters, black truffle pasta, Maine lobster, foie gras, American Wagyu beef, and three desserts.

To be honest, it's just like that, it's mainly about experiencing the life of New Yorkers, and it's the first time Jack and Hannah have been together for so long that they have had dinner together in such a luxurious restaurant.

Compared with the stimulation of those high-end ingredients to the taste buds, Hannah's blue velvet skirt after taking off her coat made Jack feel more beautiful and delicious, which made people feel appetizing.
