Chapter 467: Bright Sword
"Dear residents of Shuangsha Island Fishery Resort, I am very happy today. Mr. Qin came to the scene to participate in the foundation laying ceremony of our village!" Lin Liang was very excited as he stepped on the newly piled sand and gravel at the easternmost side of Shuangsha Island. shouted to his men.
These so-called residents are, of course, fishermen. Under Lin Liang’s call, they came from various islands to work together for the development of Shuangsha Island.
Since the construction here has not started yet, they just set up tents on the land. The conditions are very difficult, but they don't care at all. They use their hard-working hands to build the motherland.
There was a burst of applause below.
“Now let us all stand up, raise the national flag and play the national anthem!”
This was the second item of the groundbreaking ceremony. Everyone stood up and watched the red flag rising slowly. The sound on the side was not loud, but the voices of each of them were very loud and loud throughout the island. echoed in the sky.
The song ended and the flag was raised to the top. Everyone was extremely excited.
"Now, let's introduce the scale of our Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort. We plan to cover an area of 2.6 square kilometers and build a total of 200 residential buildings, 100 of which belong to the resort and 100 to our fishing village. At the same time, There are supporting facilities such as dining and entertainment piers, and each of our current residents can be assigned a house for free."
“Great!” The people below cheered immediately.
There are more than thirty people in the first batch of landing. If each of them can be assigned a house, they can settle here!
With a resort, there will be more tourists, and their income will be more and more in the future.
“Now, please give us a speech, Mr. Qin!”
Everyone clapped again.
"Dear villagers, I am very happy to be here." Qin Tao looked at the bronze faces in front of him and was very happy: "At the beginning, when this village was established, the superiors planned to let me be the village chief. It’s just that I can only be in name at most and can’t stay here permanently, so I tricked Village Chief Lin into coming here.”
As soon as he said these words, everyone present laughed.
"Yes, it's just deception. You should know that Village Chief Lin used to be a high official, but he was deceived by me into becoming the village chief." Qin Tao said: "I came to this place that is further than the ends of the world. Of course, This is not all my ability, but Village Chief Lin has a lofty ideal in his heart, and he wants to contribute to our country’s fishery industry!”
"This place is more suitable for fish farming than Qiongzhou, so he came here. This place is more suitable for tourism than Qiongzhou, so our Mingzhou Group wants to develop this place and build it into a tourist area! Although it looks relatively desolate now, in the future, This place will become a famous tourist attraction like the Maldives and Hawaii. Everyone, you are the pioneers here and the first generation of villagers. You will witness the development and prosperity here!"
Everyone applauded.
Everyone is very excited.
“Now, the groundbreaking ceremony officially begins!”
咣咣壣! The only fisherman who knew how to play the gong played the gong, and another one who knew how to play the suona played a cheerful song. In the midst of the singing, Lin Liang handed a new **** tied with red silk to Qin Tao's hand. inside.
Qin Tao held a shovel in both hands, shoveled up the sand, and laid it on the base of the foundation stone.
The cornerstone is a pure white stone with two large red characters "FOUNDATION" written on it. Above the cornerstone, this line of small characters is written: Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort. Below is the date: June 15, 1995.
This is a memorable day. This day represents the official establishment of Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort!
After Qin Tao shoveled two shovels, he handed the shovel to Lin Liang. Lin Liang shoveled two more shovels and handed them to the assistants and finally to all the villagers. After everyone shoveled the soil up, the base of the foundation stone had already been laid. It was covered up, leaving only the stones above.
This stone tablet represents sovereignty!
"Mr. Qin, we have limited food here. If you are here, just eat our whole fish feast!" On a flat piece of land, several long tables are spread out, which is the usual canteen for everyone. At this time, above Filled with all kinds of fish and shrimp.
“Pipi shrimps are good, small cuttlefish are also good.” Qin Tao sat down and began to peel the shrimps. After peeling, he put one in his mouth.
"Mr. Qin, these are the side dishes. You can eat this piece. This is our seven-star fish. It is delicious."
Qin Tao picked up a piece and it tasted really good.
Mingzhou is right next to the sea, and there is never a shortage of seafood, but Qin Tao has never eaten such fresh ones. The southern seas of the motherland are more suitable for the growth of these fish!
"Yes, these fish taste very good. They can not only be sold domestically, but also to developed countries such as island countries and enter their markets. We can also build a special fish processing factory on our island. "Qin Tao started planning again.
Anyway, there is plenty of land. If it is not enough, we will reclaim another piece of land.
“Hmm.” Lin Liang nodded.
After dinner, Qin Tao came to the pier.
This wharf is still relatively primitive and simple. Some fishing boats are anchored here. One of them has just returned from the sea and sent shrimps, small cuttlefish and other fish steaks to feed the high-value fry. Qin Tao inspected the circle, and then, Came to his luxury yacht again.
Since it was driven here a few days ago, the yacht is relatively tidy and the interior is spotless. Qin Tao walked into the cab with great interest: "Come on, Zhengyang, let's drive out for a walk."
Drive out?
Xu Zhengyang glanced at Qin Tao worriedly: "Where are you going?"
“Of course I’m going to check out the nearby reefs. Come back before dark. You must not be familiar with the navigation route, right?”
"Of course I'm familiar with it." Xu Zhengyang said: "Let's go and take a look. The dredger should be filling in the Yongshu Reef right now. Let's go over there and take a look and make a triangle back."
Once the islands and reefs are filled in, it will not end. Shuangsha Island is just the beginning, and will be filled in successively in the future. In this way, the airspace of the motherland can be more reliably protected.
At this moment, an alarm sound suddenly sounded in the west of the island and reef.
"what happened?"
Qin Tao immediately frowned.
“It should be an air defense siren.” Xu Zhengyang said, “Mr. Qin, should we go take a look?”
Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we don't want to interfere with the work of the reef defenders. Let's just watch it here. There is a maritime telescope over there, let's go over and have a look!"
Qin Tao's finger pointed to an observation position set up in the distance. There was a large binocular maritime telescope on it, which was the equipment of Shuangsha Island Fishing Resort.
A few kilometers away, at one end of the airport, a meter-wave antenna similar to the TV antenna frame was rotating, radiating a large amount of electromagnetic waves to the surrounding sky. At the same time, the echo appeared on the screen, which was a clear bright spot. .
Zhang Haiyang, who came after hearing the news, asked nervously: "What's going on?"
“The target echo shows that it is a medium-sized aircraft. It is not on a regular civil aviation route, and there is no ADS-B signal. This is an aircraft with an unknown purpose!”
“Contact it on the international channel, tell it to fly away from here, activate our red flag seven, and be ready to intercept at any time!” Zhang Haiyang said.
In the past, their reefs did not have these things, but as the reefs expanded into islands, their equipment became more and more advanced, and they had special long-range warning radars. At the same time, this time Qin Tao They came over, and the Hongqi 7 missile launcher was transported along with the Yunba!
At that time, after the French Sea Sidewinder missile was introduced, it was not only used on the two 052s and frigates, but also on land modifications. This advanced missile was copied in large numbers, and there was also a land-based Red Flag Seven missile system on land. .
If it is simpler, a Hongqi-7 missile launcher can complete all tasks. This launcher is an armored vehicle with a four-wheel or six-wheel chassis, and it uses an electric drive. The engine drives an alternator. After rectification Provided to the wheels, it has the capabilities of continuously variable transmission and all-wheel drive, and has advanced performance.
At the same time, the top is also very complete: on both sides are 4 canister-mounted missiles, KU-band monopulse radar, TV tracking system, infrared marker and other equipment.
This kind of missile adopts a composite guidance system of infrared, television and radar, and is guided by radio commands throughout the entire process. It has strong anti-interference ability; it can attack various high-speed aircraft, helicopters, air-to-ground missiles and cruise missiles.
The initial introduction of this missile solved the navy's shortcoming of having no air defense capabilities. If the Hongqi-16 missile had not matured rapidly, this missile system would have likely been equipped with a large number of troops.
At present, there are still many such launch vehicles for land air defense.
Of course, in addition to the launch vehicle, it also has a search and command vehicle on the same chassis, which has a one-step S-band pulse Doppler search radar to provide farther air defense search capabilities.
Generally during combat, one search and command vehicle and three launch vehicles form a complete missile battery.
As for Shuangsha Island, since the air defense system has just begun to be established, there is only one search and command vehicle and one launch vehicle, both of which were brought by Qin Tao's Yunba. When he got on the plane, Qin Tao Tao also joked with Xu Zhengyang that he was bringing civilian equipment.
Now, these devices are finally activated!
“What should we do now? There is no response here!” Xu Zhengyang looked towards the airport worriedly.
"Why not? We don't have airplanes, but we have missiles!" Qin Tao said: "It's a pity that our Hongqi-7 only has a range of more than ten kilometers. Later, we will drag our land-based Hongqi-16 over. When the time comes, see Let’s see who dares to come here, we can target them from thirty kilometers away!”
The navy has begun to use the HQ-16. At the same time, the land-based HQ-16 has also begun to be produced. However, due to the expensive missiles and the small quantity purchased, it is now only protecting key departments and has not yet been equipped with them on the islands. It is too luxurious.
If it doesn’t work now, it will be fine in the future.
“It has flown within ten kilometers of us!” At the radar station, the radar operator shouted anxiously to Zhang Haiyang.
“Attention, the missile is ready to launch!” Zhang Haiyang was also anxious.
Ready to launch?
If we fight this, something will happen! At this time, shouldn't you report it to your superiors?
bang! With two soft sounds, the launch covers of the two Red Flag 7 missiles were ejected, and the warheads of the missiles were exposed from inside.
On the reconnaissance plane, sophisticated optical equipment was taking pictures of the scene below. Compared with the reconnaissance satellite, it stayed in the air longer and took clearer pictures. However, when they saw the missile launch cover being opened, the people inside were still surprised.
“Damn it, what are they going to do?”
This style is very stupid, starting a fight if you disagree!
They are a reconnaissance plane after all, not a fighter plane. Even the lightest Sea Rattlesnake can kill them.
“End the mission and return!”
The reconnaissance plane turned around and flew away.
“Scared away, we scared them away!” Xu Zhengyang was very happy: “Mr. Qin, let’s get ready to fight, and they were scared away.”
Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, the great *** said that all imperialism is a paper tiger. As long as we show our sword, the other side will not dare to confront us head-on!"
“Bright sword?” Xu Zhengyang repeated the word.
"That's right, when ancient swordsmen met their opponents, no matter how powerful the opponent was, even if the opponent was the best swordsman in the world, they would still show their swords even if they knew they were outmatched. Even if they fell under the opponent's sword, Even though you are defeated, it is still glorious. This is the spirit of the sword." Qin Tao said: "Back then, we relied on this spirit of the sword to finally win the war and win the independence of the nation. Now, in the new era, we are facing Facing a complex environment, we still need to have this spirit.”
“Mr. Qin, what you said is really philosophical! I want to report what you said.”
Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "No, I didn't say this. It was said by Li Yunlong... Duliang Daxia. If you have time, you can read the novel "Bright Sword". It is very exciting. If it is made into a TV series in the future , it looks even better.”
Today’s motherland still needs the spirit of swordsmanship. This is the soul of the nation!
Xu Zhengyang chewed Qin Tao's words carefully, feeling that the truth contained in them was too profound.
Over there, Zhang Haiyang finally felt relieved when he heard the radar operator report that the target had disappeared. At this time, his back was already dripping with sweat.
If the opponent continued to fly over just now, would our side really want to fire? Even Zhang Haiyang didn't know that it was definitely too late to report to his superiors. They had to make a decision.
Fortunately, nothing like that happened.
There was still half a month before he left the island, and before he left, he actually caught up with something like this.
This can be regarded as a rare experience in his life.
Qin Tao's trip was delayed. He did not drive his yacht out, but just walked around the island and stayed in a tent in the village at night.
“Mr. Qin, the conditions are a bit rough. It will be fine when we build a house in the future.”
“That’s for sure. The one with the best view and the largest area will be reserved for me.” Qin Tao was not polite.
Listening to the sea breeze outside, Qin Tao fell into sleep. In his memory, this should be the first night he spent on the islands and reefs of the South China Sea. Of course, this is just the beginning. In the future, he will have more time, come here for vacation.
Beach, coconut trees, sunshine, yachts, if this place develops, it must be a very beautiful sight!
The next day, early in the morning, Qin Tao was woken up by the sound of soldiers doing morning exercises. The soldiers on the island were running here very happily. There were even two military dogs running with them. On such a large island, Enough for them to have fun.
"Mr. Qin, come and wash your face." Xu Zhengyang walked in holding a washbasin.
“Wash your face? Forget it, the fresh water resources on this island are very precious.”
“It’s okay, this is not water transported from the land, this is water drawn from that well. It is more than enough for our daily life.” Xu Zhengyang said.
Qin Tao put his hand in. The clear and transparent fresh water was so beautiful. There was a supply of fresh water in an area far away from the mainland. It was like God was helping.
The distant shore of the ocean.
"How could this happen?" Someone shouted loudly: "What kind of **** luck is this? What kind of **** is this? That we actually got fresh water there?"
"Yes, our reconnaissance plane went over and captured a clearer video. We saw them pulling water out of the well, and after a simple filtering process, someone drank it directly!"
The reconnaissance plane passed by at the right time. It had just captured such a scene. Only a reconnaissance plane could capture that kind of perspective.
The other party actually drank it, it must be fresh water.
"Damn it, they can really get a foothold there if they have fresh water!" Swift was very annoyed.
If you want to survive on a lonely island, you must have food and fresh water. This is the most basic thing. You can find fish for food, but what about fresh water?
There are so many of them, and the fresh water from the rain is not enough. Who would have thought that there are actually wells, and this kind of thing actually happens? They were still laughing at it yesterday!
“Report, that old man is here again.”
“Which old man?”
“Straw.”
“Damn it, tell him to get out of here right now, as far away as possible!” Upon hearing this name, Swift was furious.
As an aircraft carrier captain, you must not only be able to command warships, but also be an outstanding politician and be able to handle various complex situations.
Where is Stroh? This guy used to have good flying skills and had no problem commanding warships. However, he knew nothing about the social situation. However, he saw Stroh's stupidity at the beginning, so he was given this task.
Who would have thought that Stroh was possessed by a demon.
This task has ended, but Stroh has never given up and is still working hard to push forward.
The Saratoga is an important aircraft carrier in their country. Even if it is decommissioned, it is still a powerful war machine. How could such a thing fall into the hands of the Easterners?
Stroh wants to sell this aircraft carrier to Mingzhou Group to use it as an aircraft carrier park!
Is there anyone more naive than him? If it really comes into the hands of the Easterners, it will definitely be transformed into an aircraft carrier! The catapults, blocking ropes, hangars, elevators, and various aircraft carrier-specific facilities will also be clearly inspected by the opponent!
Outside, Stroh looked angry as he listened to the words of the person opposite: "Sir Swift doesn't want to see you! I want you to get out of here immediately, as far away as possible."
In fact, as a small liaison officer, he could have used a better tone. However, he was tired of Stroll visiting him every day, so he simply conveyed the words of his superiors intact and asked Stroll to Give up on this idea.
“Damn, liars, they are all a bunch of liars!” Stroh was angry: “When I was asked to go to the East to promote the Saratoga, it was a scam, a scam!”
“Yes, I just wanted to attract Easterners to take the bait.” The liaison officer continued: “Unfortunately, only you will believe it! Now that you know the truth, you can get out.”
“Damn it, what about the Saratoga? Doesn’t anyone care about it?”
"What are you concerned about?" There was a joking smile on the liaison officer's face: "According to our current scale, a new aircraft carrier will be put into service every three years, and an old aircraft carrier will be retired. From 1955 to now , we have eliminated dozens of aircraft carriers, who cares about the ending of one aircraft carrier? To us, it is just a number."
"To you, it is just a number, but to us, it is a home! We lived and fought on it, and we spent the best years of our lives! We will never give up our aircraft carrier! "
"That's your business. As far as we are concerned, the Saratoga has ended its mission. Also, you don't have to come in again, and the doorman won't let you in."
Leaving the headquarters, Stroh angrily walked into a bar. He had actually known for a long time that all this was a scam. He was the only one who was still looking forward to giving the aircraft carrier a happy ending.
Now, what should he do?
Stroh raised his head and drank. Now, only drinking would make him feel comfortable.
He didn't know that in the corner, a pair of eyes were watching him. When he was drunk, the man finally stood up and walked over.
“Hey, man, drinking alone is too boring. How about we drink together? Did you encounter something unhappy?”
“Yes, the faith I once had has collapsed!” Stroh said vaguely.
