"The Haines was not found, only endless sea water. Are you sure that the positioning is correct." About three hours after the dispatcher reported, a helicopter set off from the port and flew for more than an hour before arriving at the location of the Haines. In the sea area, nothing was found.
The pilot, thinking it was a mistake by the headquarters, complained.
"It can't be wrong. The Haines is motionless at the location I told you. You must not have noticed it." The dispatcher said in a positive tone.
"I really didn't find it. My eyes are 2.0. It's impossible for a ship as big as the Haines to miss it, unless the Haines sank to the bottom of the sea."
The pilot flew the helicopter in a wide circle to make sure that not even a lifeboat was in sight, let alone the Haines.
"It is really possible that it will sink." Thinking of the consequences of the Haines sinking, the dispatcher quickly pressed the red button, and the entire shipping company suddenly became nervous.
More than a dozen rescue ships and helicopters went straight to the scene of the accident to determine whether the Haines had really sunk, whether all the precision machine tools had fallen into the sea, or whether they had been stolen.
After all, the Haines had deviated from its course for dozens of nautical miles before the accident, and was inexplicably parked for seven or eight hours during the night. All of this could only be determined by finding the Haines.
However, the seawater depth at the site of the Haines accident exceeds 2,000 meters. If you want to confirm whether the machine tool is still on the ship, you need to wait for professional diving equipment to arrive.
The ships that arrived first could at most determine whether the Haines had sunk and search and rescue the sailors in distress, but nothing more could be done.
"Sister Yang, q reported that in order to find out whether the machine tools are on the Haines, Siemens decided to send a deep-water submarine to the site where the Haines sank to inspect."
Wang Jianjun reported to Yang Jianhua with the latest intelligence received.
"Deep-water submarines have even been sent out. It seems that Lei Weidong guessed well. European and American countries are very interested in high-precision machine tools and will not give up until they reach the southern wall."
Looking at the information in his hand, Yang Jianhua frowned and asked, "When will we dive?"
"The weather has not been very good these two days, the wind and waves are relatively strong, and there is also a typhoon passing through. Q Hui estimates that it will dive in eight days." Wang Jianjun replied.
"The dive will take place in five days, which means that Gong Wei and the others have bought us eighteen days of precious time." Yang Jianhua felt a little heavy when he thought of Gong Wei and Li Hu, whose lives were still uncertain.
"You haven't heard from them yet?"
"No, Gong Wei and Li Hu seem to be missing. There is no news at all." Wang Jianjun shook his head, feeling sad for the disappearance of the two people.
"I hope they are both safe." Yang Jianhua shook his head and looked at the majestic body of the Varyag aircraft carrier not far outside the window with much firmer eyes.
As long as the machine tools and aircraft carrier can be brought back, not to mention Gong Wei and Li Hu, even their own lives can be involved.
Aircraft carrier!
This has been a dream for generations.
The next seven or eight days are garbage time, there is nothing to go into details.
It was nothing more than Yang Jianhua and others following the fleet commanded by General Hronopoulo heading straight inland, while Siemens' salvage ships waited for the arrival of the deep-water submarine.
During this period, Lei Weidong had a battle of wits and courage with Mrs. M in Xiangjiang. We will talk about the salvage situation later.
After eight days of waiting, the salvage vessel finally waited for the arrival of the deep-water submarine.
"Hello, I am the on-site commander Vit Almeida, welcome to you." The commander of the rescue fleet was very happy about the arrival of the deep-water submarine.
Welcome the deep-water submarine team with the highest courtesy.
"Hello, I kept you waiting, I am Lindsay Alonso, just call me Lindsay, and these are my companions Nuruddin Williams and Lycoris Bint, you can call them Williams and Licolis will do.”
Lindsey Alonso, leader of the deepwater listening team, introduces his team members to Vit Almeida.
"We didn't have to wait long. The weather has been bad these days and you couldn't get into the water even if you came early." Vit Almeida shook his head and introduced Lindsay Alonso and others into his office on the ship.
After having someone serve coffee to the three of them, he said:
"According to the weather forecast, tomorrow will be a good day. You will rest today, have a welcome meeting in the evening, and then start working again tomorrow.
"Okay!" Lindsay Alonso nodded, took a sip of his coffee, put it down and asked, "Mr. Witt, are you sure where the Haines sank?"
"Confirmed!" Vit Almeida nodded and pointed at the chart: "The Haines sank mainly in these two locations."
"Two positions, is the Haines disconnected?" Lindsay Alonso asked, looking at the positions hundreds of meters apart.
"Yes!" Wert Alme said, "According to our investigations in the past few days, we found that the sinking of the Haines was very similar to that of the Titanic. Both were hit on the starboard side.
The difference is that the Titanic hit an iceberg, while the Haines hit a reef.
The same thing is that a big hole was made below the waterline of the hull. It was so big that it couldn't be blocked at all.
First, water entered the forward cabin, and very quickly, in less than half an hour, the water level crossed the waterproof partition and filled the front half of the freighter.
Because too much water entered the front half, estimated to be tens of thousands of tons, the bow of the ship was pushed down heavily and the stern of the ship was raised, and then the speed became faster and faster.
Soon the entire bow sank into the sea and the entire stern lifted into the sky.
Because the weight of the stern is very high, the cockpit, engine, etc. are all in this position, and the cargo ship's hull cannot support it at all, so it breaks in the middle.
The entire ship split into two halves, and the stern returned to the sea.
However, due to water intrusion, the stern of the ship gradually fell into the sea after the bow.
During the sinking process, the bow and stern of the ship gradually separated. By the time it sank to the bottom of the sea, the distance between them was expected to be at least three to four hundred meters.
If those machine tools are still on the ship, in addition to some of them at the stern and bow, many of them will fall in the middle of the bow and stern.
The task of your diving team is not only to explore the bow and stern of the ship to determine whether there are machine tools inside, but also to explore the middle position to find those scattered containers.
"The analysis is very detailed, I know how to do it." After listening to Vit Alme's explanation, Lindsay Alonso nodded, saying that everything was covered by him.
"What, say it again, are you making a mistake?" The person in charge of Siemens jumped up from his chair when he heard Wert Alme's report.
"You can't be wrong. The deep-diving team searched below for three full days. Not only did they carefully check the bow and stern of the ship, but also the area between the two, and no containers containing machine tools were found."
Vit Alme said in a tone of absolute certainty, “Boss, if it’s a small thing like a TV series or a refrigerator, the diving team might miss it.
After all, the ocean is so big and the diving team only has one submarine.
But none of the containers, or thousands of them, were found, which is really abnormal. "
"What you mean is that someone stole the ship and moved all the containers on the ship." The person in charge guessed.
"It's very possible!" Witte Alme said, "Boss, according to our investigation, the sinking of the Haines was very abnormal, and the xx reef was dozens of nautical miles off course.
The captain is an experienced veteran and will not make such a mistake. "
"Inform the Coast Guard and mobilize all available forces to find the lost machine tools." The person in charge said through gritted teeth.
"clear!"
After it was determined that the machine tool had been stolen and replaced, the whole of Europe was boiling. Hundreds of ships appeared in the Atlantic Ocean, centering on the sinking of the Haines, searching the surrounding area for hundreds or even thousands of nautical miles.
Its search intensity is greater than that of HSBC Bank.
At the same time, the intelligence organizations affiliated with Batumi, not only the CIA 6 of Eagle Country, but also the Security Bureau of Gaul Chicken or Hans's Federal Military Intelligence Service, all took action.
Searches throughout Europe and even the world for the whereabouts of the machine tools found nothing.
The machine tools on the Haynes disappeared without a trace, as if they were robbed by aliens.
During this period, some people doubted the Black Sea Fleet led by General Hronopoulos.
Because according to intelligence, when problems arose with the Haines, it was only more than a hundred nautical miles away from the Black Sea Fleet led by General Hronopoulos.
It is very likely that those machine tools were abducted by General Hronopoulos, just like the Toshiba incident back then. Da Mao has a criminal record in this regard.
But what a pity!
The Black Sea Fleet led by General Hronopoulos is not a soft-footed shrimp.
There are not only guided missile cruisers, destroyers, frigates, but also aircraft carriers and submarines, and even nuclear submarines.
Such a huge fleet, let alone a company like Siemens, even the aircraft carrier formation of Yingjiang may not be able to stop it.
You know, the Black Sea Fleet led by General Hronopoulos is flying the flag of the furry bear!
Unless you are willing to start a war, there is no way to stop them.
"call!"
Fortunately, the Black Sea Fleet is here, otherwise! Looking at the retreating Seventh Fleet, Yang Jianhua breathed a sigh of relief.
While crossing the Indian Ocean through the Strait of Malacca.
The Black Sea Fleet led by General Hronopoulos encountered Eagle Sauce's Seventh Fleet.
Facing the interception of the Seventh Fleet!
General Hronopoulos responded tit-for-tat, ordering the planes to take off, the artillery shells to be cocked, and the missiles, whether conventional or nuclear, to be launched and aimed at their respective targets.
The fleet surrounded the aircraft carrier and the freighter that Yang Jianhua and others were riding on, and crashed directly into Yingjiang's Seventh Fleet.
Face the menacing Black Sea Fleet!
Faced with flashing, computer-reported reminders of being targeted by missiles, the Seventh Fleet retreated, allowing the Black Sea Fleet to enter the South China Sea through the Strait of Malacca.
The destination is not far away.
------
Xiangjiang!
Police Headquarters, at nine o'clock in the morning on the day Yang Jianhua and others carried out the Atlantic operation.
Mrs. M walked to the conference room accompanied by several of her subordinates.
In the conference room, the Chinese policemen headed by Lei Weidong gathered together to talk about the incoming section chief, Mrs. M.
"Boss, I heard that the new division chief is very powerful. As soon as he got off the plane last night, he summoned the remaining police officers to give him a lecture. I heard from Mike that the new division chief was terrible at swearing. He kept repeating the same sentence for half an hour. There are no words for it.”
Seeing Lei Weidong want to smoke, the new Flying Tigers commander and Chief Superintendent Zhou Xingxing diligently lit a cigarette for him.
"Women, there are times when you are in a bad mood every month, especially when you are older and have reached menopause." Lei Weidong picked up the cigar and took a puff, blowing out the smoke and said:
"Be patient for a while and just treat what she said as nonsense."
"The boss is right. Since the other party is a woman, let's give her this face. A good man won't fight with a woman. But what if the new director targets us? How can we bear it?"
Li Ying on the side said.
"It's definitely against us. Gui Lao sent a person like this here just to target us. However, Xiangjiang is our Chinese territory. Whether Gui Lao is a dragon or a tiger, he will get down here.
Give them face and let them spend the past few years in peace.
If you don't give me face, I won't give you face either. I'll just take down the position of director. I'll see what Mr. Gui will do. "Lei Weidong said very grandly.
"Boss, you are right. The position of director has been yours for a long time. The new director is just a decoration. Brothers know what to do." Seeing that Lei Weidong said he wanted to be the director, Li Ying, instructor Hu and others all He expressed support.
"Brother Dong, people are here." Jian Huizhen, who had been looking outside, reminded him, and the people in the conference room immediately became quiet.
In any case, Mrs. M is the new director and everyone’s immediate boss, so she still needs to be given the necessary face.
"Everyone, let me introduce our new boss, Major General of the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, Mrs. M!" Superintendent Ghost, who stayed behind to make a show and was mainly responsible for logistics, introduced loudly.
"Snap, snap, snap!"
Applause rang out in the conference room, and everyone warmly welcomed Mrs. M's arrival, except Lei Weidong, who was just like Le Ge back then, sitting on a chair and smoking a cigar.
"He is Lei Weidong!" Mrs. M asked softly.
"Yes, he is Deputy Director Lei Weidong, the second-in-command in the police force." Superintendent Gui nodded and responded.
"Hello Mrs. M, welcome to Xiangjiang." Facing Mrs. M's gaze, Lei Weidong stood up with a smile, took two steps forward, and stretched out his right hand.
moment!
All eyes in the conference room were on Mrs. M to see how she would react.
"Sir Lei, it's a pleasure to meet you. You are an elite member of the police force, and your name is well-known even in the Eagle Country." Facing Lei Weidong's right hand, Mrs. M was stunned for two seconds, then stretched out her right hand to shake his hand. together.
"It's all the brothers who love me. Compared to you, Mrs. M, I'm far behind." Faced with Mrs. M's compliment, Lei Weidong shook his head, "You are the director of the Sixth Bureau."
"I have lost my position as director. Now I am no better than a phoenix than a chicken. From now on in Xiangjiang, I will have to rely on your support, Sir Lei." Mrs. M kept her attitude very low.
It is much better than the director who was born in the military back then.
