Chapter 206 Little Titanic Yacht
Baker Street is an old street. Those antique buildings have hundreds of years of history. In the past, upper class people lived here. The famous Sherlock Holmes once lived on this street.
It's a pity that the level of the British police in this era is not very good. This unlucky guy Rodriguez is not a black uncle. As for where he was cut off? Therefore, people like Qin Tao will definitely not be suspected. Generally speaking, the person who attacks that place must be a couple breaking up and the woman is not satisfied, so she clicks.
I guess this Rodriguez is really in love here, so it's a strange combination of circumstances.
Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide and looked at the TV screen. She suddenly thought of something: "Could it be that Wei Na took her seriously?"
Qin Tao said that if anyone said bad things behind his back, he would cut off his penis. At that time, Vitalia also heard it, and then gave the order?
No one else but Rodriguez must have said bad things about Qin Tao.
However, no matter what, even if this matter is in the past, it will be rotten in the stomach and cannot be mentioned again.
“Brother Tao, shall we change countries next? Anyway, we have already visited here, so we have to hurry up during the honeymoon period.”
“Okay, shall we go to France or Germany as our next stop? France is romantic, while Germany is rigorous. These are two completely different countries.” Qin Tao introduced.
“Germany, don’t you have that business card? Let’s go to the German shipbuilding department and have a look. What if we can get something back?”
Although I came here for my honeymoon, I still have to do something with money like this. Today, Qin Tao has already gotten a lot of good things and sent them back by express delivery. When he gets to Germany, he may be able to get some more good things. Woolen cloth.
Qin Tao nodded: "Well, let's go to Germany."
“By the way, Brother Tao, why don’t we go through the embassy?” Zhao Ling asked Qin Tao amidst the noisy sound of the TV.
“Through the embassy? Don’t pay attention to those information. We are doing it as a private act now, but it will become an official act by then. Which one do you think is safer?”
Qin Tao brought Zhao Ling here for her honeymoon, and took a look at the defense exhibition. She didn't come here to collect intelligence. If she gave it to the embassy, she didn't know how many eyes would be on her.
the next day.
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling saw Vitalia in the hotel restaurant.
"Weina, there is something I want to tell you." Zhao Ling said to Vitalia while eating breakfast.
Vitalia looked at Zhao Ling with a smile: "Zhao, I also have something to tell you. I'm very sorry, but I received a call from my father. He is going to Germany recently, so I am going to Germany too. I can only stay with you for two more days at most, and then I have to fly to Germany."
What?
When hearing this sentence, Zhao Ling's eyes widened, and Qin Tao's mind was also thinking rapidly.
Did Vitalia hear yesterday’s conversation?
That shouldn’t be the case. The volume of the TV has already exceeded the volume of the two people communicating. Even if there is a bug, it cannot be heard. After all, in this era, there is no advanced digital technology to distinguish the mixed sounds.
Furthermore, there is no need for Vitalia’s father to make a special trip to Germany because of him. He must have something more important. He is probably in contact with some people in Germany and wants to see his daughter by the way, right?
“By the way, Zhao, what’s the matter with you?” Vitalia looked at Zhao Ling again.
“We, we also feel that we have finished traveling to the UK, and our next stop is Germany.”
“Okay, by the way.” Vitalia said: “When do you plan to leave?”
“We were planning to leave today.”
“If we are not in a hurry, we can take a boat and enjoy the scenery on the sea.” After Vitalia finished speaking, she glanced at Qin Tao: “Anyway, you are also on your honeymoon.”
Qin Tao nodded: "Then let's take the ship. After dinner, we will book a ticket."
“No need to book a ticket,” Vitalia said.
What, no need? How about taking a boat?
Vitalia smiled: "My family has a yacht, which is just over there at the port. Let's drive the yacht there."
Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide, what, a private yacht?
Qin Tao felt even more emotional in his heart, the privileged class among these old men had begun to transfer their wealth a long time ago! In the 1990s, there was a private yacht, which was definitely a wealthy person!
After dinner, several people came to the port. When they saw the yacht, Qin Tao was even more surprised.
At first, Qin Tao thought that the yacht Vitalia was talking about was a small boat of dozens of tons, with no roof, only a few seats, and an external engine at the rear, just like those big boats.
At this time, what appeared in front of them was a Faraday 500 yacht!
This yacht has a beautiful and majestic appearance. There is a railing at the bow. One or two meters behind is the cockpit. The black glass extends all the way back until it is empty one or two meters away from the stern. The back is not enclosed, and there is another Stairs lead to the top terrace.
The entire yacht is nearly 16 meters long and five meters wide, so its biggest feature is its spaciousness!
“Let’s go, go up.” Vitalia said.
The man who had been serving as Vitalia's bodyguard also came up. Until now, Qin Tao had not communicated with him. He watched him walking around and began to make preparations for sailing. It seemed that he could still sail.
Qin Tao and Zhao Ling boarded the boat from the stern. The first thing they saw was the outdoor activity area. There were folding stairs next to it that could extend into the sea water. They were used as an upper and lower platform for diving and swimming, and you could also step on the stairs above. Go up to the top platform to sunbathe.
Entering the interior of the enclosed yacht from the stern, the first thing is the living room, which has a leather sofa, a pull-up table, and a set of stereo speakers.
Going forward from this living room is the dining room and kitchen. After passing through, there is the navigator cabin and cockpit. There are stairs extending downward next to it.
"The upper part is the public activity area, and the lower part is the private activity area. There are two completely independent cabins and bathrooms. If you want to take your time and play, we can also stay at sea for one night and arrive at the German port tomorrow evening." "Vitalia said.
Although Qin Tao is a shipbuilder and has been exposed to many types of ships, he has never built this kind of private yacht. Now, he actually feels like Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden.
What is there to say? When we go back, we will also build a yacht!
Based on the catamaran, build a larger and more comfortable catamaran yacht! Qin Tao secretly made up his mind. Anyway, there were not many orders from the Navy, and the No. 1 Shipyard could not operate at full capacity.
Thinking of this, Qin Tao pointed to the phone beside him: "Can this be used? I have to make a call."
“Of course, this is a maritime satellite phone, you can make any calls.”
So, Qin Tao comfortably made a phone call to his country and asked them to design a catamaran luxury yacht. After he put down the phone, he suddenly remembered: Who will he sell it to after he builds it? Do those who first became rich have the financial resources to buy luxury yachts?
Forget it, let them design it first, building it is another matter, so they don’t have to be bored.
Light-colored oak furniture, angular sofas and thick carpets, as well as walnut veneer interiors that can be seen everywhere, make people feel the luxury of this yacht.
“We’d better drive over directly, this yacht is too luxurious.” Zhao Ling said.
“If you are okay, then we will stay at sea for one more day. Although I can’t swim, I like fishing on the sea. There is diving equipment on the yacht, and you can also go diving.”
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, let's forget it!"
“We’re leaving!” the person in front shouted.
“Okay, we’ll drive directly to Bremen.” Vitalia shouted.
The two D2876 engines at the rear were started, and the crisp sound of the high-pressure oil pump reached Qin Tao's ears. Just by listening to the sound, Qin Tao could guess the approximate parameters.
Each engine has at least 700 horsepower, and two engines are one thousand and fourteen. If it drives this yacht, it should be able to reach a speed of thirty knots.
“Should I go up or to the front?” Vitalia asked.
“Isn’t the area up there bigger?” Qin Tao said.
The yacht has slowly left the port, and many ships can be seen passing by. In this dense waterway, you need to be careful.
Of course, this is what the bodyguard and captain should consider. The other three people were sitting on the upper open-air deck of the yacht, admiring the surrounding scenery. It was very cool.
It would be better if it were July or August. It is already the end of September and the weather is a little cold, but when the sun shines down, it can still make people feel extremely comfortable.
“By the way, does this yacht have a name?” Zhao Ling asked Vitalia.
“Yes, my father called it Little Titanic after he bought it last year.”
Little Titanic? Why does it sound like a joke?
Qin Tao had a scene from the movie Titanic in his mind, but no matter what, he couldn't connect it with the yacht in front of him. You can't do that classic move on the front deck of this yacht.
“I really envy you rich people.” Qin Tao said.
"Qin, you are also a very capable person. If you want to buy a yacht, it should be easy. This yacht only costs 10 million. However, your domestic environment may not be suitable." Vitalia said .
“Yes, it should be no problem if I want to buy it. However, I don’t think I need to buy it. I can just make it at home.”
“I’ll go with you.” Zhao Ling said.
The two girls went down the stairs and walked into the cabin, while Qin Tao looked at the sea. At this time, they had left the English Channel and appeared in the North Sea.
Although it is located at a high latitude, westerly winds prevail all year round and are regulated by the North Atlantic warm current. It does not freeze in winter and the temperature is not high in summer. It is a very good sea area suitable for tourism. After November, there will often be big storms at sea. , and even cause certain losses to the coastal countries, but overall it is still good, especially during the war, this was almost the back garden of German submarines.
At this time, looking at this sea area, Qin Tao felt a little relaxed and happy.
Wait a minute, what happened earlier?
Qin Tao looked at the sea in the distance with some surprise. A seabird actually flapped its wings and landed, then stood in the sea. This is completely impossible. Is there a reef there?
Qin Tao grabbed the maritime telescope mounted in front of the deck, looked over, and carefully adjusted the focus to see more clearly. The seabird was squatting on something, and that thing had just emerged from the sea. , close to the sea, in the sparkling water, it is really difficult to see clearly without a telescope.
The distance is about five hundred meters.
Qin Tao suddenly frowned. The seabird was not stationary, but was still moving. This meant that the thing underneath was moving!
what is that?
Qin Tao can already roughly guess it.
“Damn it, there seems to be a submarine floating down below!” Qin Tao shouted loudly: “Quick, prepare to avoid!”
While he was speaking, the seabird was getting higher and higher from the sea! The periscope cylinder below reveals itself longer and longer, and then emerges something even larger: the submarine's conning tower.
"Oh, damn!" In the cockpit of the Little Titanic yacht, the bodyguard and captain heard Qin Tao's warning, and immediately looked forward, and then saw the submarine's control tower, which crashed towards them. Got it!
He was immediately startled. At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than 300 meters! He subconsciously knocked down the rudder in his hand, and the hull of the Alfa tilted violently.
bang! Two voices came out from below, and Qin Tao also became anxious. Will something happen to Zhao Ling and Vitalia?
Thanks to the fact that they went down, they only broke the wine bottle at most. If there was a full rudder movement on this open deck and the hull of the boat tilted, it might be thrown off.
At this moment, Qin Tao was filled with emotion, but then he heard a sound that made his ears soften.
Zhizhizhizhizhizhizhi!
What is this sound?
The sound came from the bottom of the yacht. The yacht had already rubbed against the bow of the submarine!
Then, the yacht began to tilt even more, and Qin Tao's expression also changed.
Now their yacht is sailing at full speed. The speed of nearly thirty knots is not slow at all. A full rudder movement will definitely make the yacht tilt at a large angle, but it will never turn over. After all, the yacht is designed At this time, full rudder at full speed was taken into consideration.
But what if something gets stuck on the bottom of the yacht at full speed and full rudder?
This is hard to say. The yacht continues to tilt at a speed visible to the naked eye until it turns ninety degrees. Qin Tao has been thrown out of the open deck. When he falls into the water with a pop , went to see the yacht again, it was already upside down!
Qin Tao was suddenly startled. He used his hands and feet to swim quickly in the direction of the yacht.
There are three people in the boat that was turned upside down. His wife needs to be rescued first. As for the other two people...
Just when Qin Tao swam to the stern of the yacht, a string of bubbles appeared there. Qin Tao felt happy, took a deep breath, and then dived in. Then, he saw Zhao Ling dragging Vitalia came out, and bubbles were still blowing out of Vitalia's mouth.
The bodyguard and captain also swam over from there, and several people dragged Vitalia and lifted her out of the water.
When the heads of the four people emerged from the sea, the submarine was already in a submersible state. Fortunately, it did not escape directly, but slowed down, turned, and circled around the accident yacht.
On the submarine, the hatches were opened one by one, and people came out. When he saw what those people were wearing, Qin Tao was a little curious.
Wearing blue and black military uniforms, yellow skin, black hair, and not as tall as those in the West. Although he couldn't see clearly the other party's armbands and other signs, Qin Tao could probably guess what he was doing by comparing it to the submarine that caused the accident.
The navy of Kimchi Country!
They appear here and operate the 209 submarine. What else can we say? They must be one of the customers of the 209 submarine.
Kimchi State signed a contract worth US$1.67 billion with Germany in 1987 to introduce nine Type 209/1200 submarines and named them the "Zhang Baogao" class. The first submarine was commissioned in 1992, and it is now the end of 1991, so this submarine has been built and is being tested in the North Sea.
As a result, our own yacht was hit when we were surfacing!
This name is indeed very particular. You can't give it that kind of unlucky name. Do you see the consequences now? Knocked over.
The Titanic hit an iceberg, and the Little Titanic hit a submarine. They were both a pair of unlucky people!
The four people were dragged onto the deck of the submarine dripping wet. After Qin Tao saw that Zhao Ling was okay, he felt relieved. Vitalia drank some water, but it was nothing serious. After all, it was not the first time she fell into the water. She had already fallen into the water. Experienced.
"You saved me again." Vitalia looked a little ugly, but she could still joke: "It seems that we can't meet at sea in the future."
"It's okay. It's really unlucky this time." Qin Tao looked at the sailors, and then looked at the one with the highest rank among them: "Hey, Smecta, we are going in, find an independent space , provide us with four sets of your clothes. Regarding compensation, let’s talk about it after we go in.”
Cui Shaoyuan, the head of the Kimchi Navy, frowned: "I'm sorry, you can't... on this submarine..."
This is their most advanced diesel-electric submarine in the country! They spent huge sums of money to order 209 submarines. The first one was built in a German shipyard, and the next few were built in their own shipyard. The group of people they sent were all carefully selected. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen.
In Europe, a yacht sank here. At first glance, you can tell that he is a child of an aristocratic and wealthy family. This is not a small thing.
However, how can this be done if the other party wants to enter their submarine? Before they came, they accepted strict requirements. Except for people from the German shipyard and them, no one else could enter, and the confidentiality policy must be strictly implemented.
What now?
"No? We have two ladies. They are like this. Can't they go in and change their clothes? What if they get sick? Smecta, do you know who her father is? You can't afford this. responsibility!"
After saying that, Qin Tao picked up Zhao Ling.
The bodyguard hugged Vitalia and followed Qin Tao toward the hatch. When he reached the hatch, Qin Tao went down first, and then called Zhao Ling to go down.
Four people got into submarine 209 like this.
"The power cabin at the back should be warmer. All your engineers should leave the power cabin, immediately, immediately!" Qin Tao shouted: "Also, bring us four sets of changes of clothes!"
The 209 submarine is highly modernized and only requires more than thirty people to operate it. There are only two or three engineers in the back. After Qin Tao yelled like this, they actually left the power cabin timidly.
Cui Shaoyuan had no choice but to have four sets of clothes sent to him. Nothing else. They were all sailor uniforms from their navy.
Qin Tao quickly changed his clothes, then looked at the bodyguards: "Let's go out and let them change clothes."
The bodyguard nodded: "Okay."
Outside the engine room, Cui Shaoyuan was a little anxious: "You have changed your clothes, can you come out? That's the engine room."
"It's the warmest there. When we two ladies change into your clothes, we have to dry the original clothes and then put on the original clothes. Your clothes are too ugly."
Cui Shaoyuan was about to shed tears: "But, but..."
"Let me tell you, our status is noble and you cannot afford to offend us. This accident is all your responsibility. Now, if you cannot satisfy us, you will not be able to sail this submarine back smoothly!" "
The bodyguard clenched his fists and made a clatter.
Those who go out on yachts must be powerful. You don’t dare to mess with these people in Kimchi Country!
“Why is there no one from the shipyard of your submarine?” Qin Tao continued to ask.
Generally speaking, the shipyard and the military are jointly responsible for equipment during the sea trial stage. Qin Tao was a little curious to see no Germans from the shipyard on this submarine.
“Today is Sunday, the people in the shipyard are not working, so we want to operate it ourselves and get familiar with it..."
Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart. So, these guys launched the 209 submarine without the company of people from the shipyard. Is this against the regulations? Taking advantage of this opportunity, I will definitely blackmail them!
“That yacht was bought for 20 million yuan last year, and it was damaged by you just like this. In addition to the mental loss of us, you have to compensate us 30 million yuan!” Qin Tao said.
thirty million?
Cui Shaoyuan couldn't do this well, he almost knelt down to Qin Tao.
"If you don't give it, then we will go to court. This is a submarine that caused the accident. It will be seized before the final judgment of the court." Qin Tao said, "At worst, it will take three to five years to file a lawsuit. We are slow. Play slow!”
If this takes three to five years, they will be miserable and become a joke.
But they can’t afford to offend the people here! And this matter is indeed their fault.
"This matter is very important. I personally can't decide it. After I return to the shipyard, I need to report it to the country." Cui Shaoyuan said.
"Then please hurry up. If you can't give us an accurate answer tomorrow, we will go to the court to meet you!"
Qin Tao put down these words and felt that the people inside had almost changed their clothes. He opened the hatch and returned to the engine room.
