Chapter 1056
Military Enthusiasts Treat It Like New Year's Day: This is a Grand Feast of Warshi
"We should focus more on warships and the new fighter jets the air force has, rather than discussing sumo wrestling."
After these netizens raised their questions, they immediately received responses from many other netizens.
However, more and more people quickly responded.
"It's alright, we're not discussing sumo wrestling, we're just having a casual discussion. Once I get there, I'll come back and discuss the details of the 10,000-ton destroyer with you. That warship is my dream ship."
“I will go with you. Empty talk will ruin the country. I must have first-hand information so that you can understand my strengths and weaknesses.”
This makes perfect sense and naturally garnered a lot of positive responses.
They were eager to take advantage of this opportunity to get firsthand information about the new warship, so that countless military enthusiasts would be envious and jealous, and even cry out for their fathers to expose the beautiful photos.
Military enthusiasts are like fishing enthusiasts; they have an almost addictive obsession with equipment.
Thus, a very peculiar scene unfolded in the major cities of the Longxia tribe, with many people setting off overnight to rush to Shanghai to watch the returning warships.
Those who live far away take a plane, those who live nearby drive there, and those who live in Shanghai simply set off on a motorcycle.
Before we knew it, it was the next day, and it was just past five in the morning when the sky was beginning to lighten.
The major train stations and airports in Shanghai attract large numbers of people from all over the country.
Their faces were filled with anticipation. Some of them were relatives and friends of the returning compatriots, who had come to take them home for a family reunion.
However, many more people came in groups to see the naval equipment, and in their eyes, it was a grand display of military equipment!
In any case, seeing it in person is a completely different experience from seeing it in photos or on TV.
Neither videos nor photos can capture the most direct and impactful scene; that overwhelming sense of pressure is truly a pleasure.
As a result, more and more people began to gather at the dock from five in the morning, and by six o'clock, it was already a sea of people, and the noise was quite terrifying.
Some people were holding banners that read "Welcome back, heroes!" while others were waving flags and shouting, as if celebrating an unprecedented victory.
Everyone eagerly awaited the opportunity to visit the warship, even if it was just from a distance.
On that boundless sea, there was still no movement, but people were eagerly waiting, yet they were unwilling to look away.
Around the crowd, a large number of naval soldiers were responsible for maintaining order and ensuring that no accidents would occur.
Of course, official personnel are also in place to manage the situation, ready to respond to any emergencies!
At that crucial location, CCTV has also dispatched a strong live broadcast team, and the host is someone who previously hosted the live broadcast of the evacuation of Chinese citizens from the Ke Yi tribe, so he is very experienced!
Time passed little by little, and soon it was seven o'clock in the morning.
The live broadcast has officially entered the warm-up phase, with Zhang Zhaoxin from the Navy appearing as a guest and giving an exclusive interview to the host.
"Dear viewers, the expeditionary fleet is about to arrive at the dock in Shanghai."
The host immediately asked, "Is this true? I think our viewers at home are eagerly awaiting it. They all hope to see the returning expedition fleet and all the announcements as soon as possible."
The cameraman immediately pointed his lens at the vast sea in the distance, wanting to capture the return of the expeditionary fleet as soon as possible.
"Dear viewers, as the return of the expeditionary fleet draws ever closer, I share your anticipation."
"This time, to welcome back the overseas talents who were stranded, our navy dispatched a powerful expeditionary fleet that sailed tens of thousands of nautical miles and finally succeeded in bringing those compatriots back."
"This demonstrates our country's care for its people, and that we will never abandon or give up on any overseas citizen..."
As time went by, not only did more and more people gather at the scene, but more and more people also gathered in front of the television, all hoping to witness this great feat in person.
Even overseas Chinese working abroad are keeping a close eye on the situation through the internet and other channels, focusing their attention on this modern military port in Shanghai.
"They're here! Look, isn't that our expeditionary fleet?"
As everyone turned their attention back to the vast sea, someone with sharp eyes suddenly shouted out.
As a result, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to the sea.
Sure enough, they saw black dots appearing one after another on the sea at the edge of their sight, and they grew bigger and bigger.
"They've really come! Look, they're getting bigger and bigger. Our expeditionary fleet is coming back."
More and more people stood on tiptoe, craning their necks to look at the ocean, where more and more warships were becoming larger and larger at the horizon.
At this moment, the host also became excited, holding the microphone and broadcasting enthusiastically.
"Dear viewers, we can already see the returning expedition fleet and the cruise ship carrying our compatriots on camera. Have you noticed them?"
"Our naval expeditionary fleet sailed tens of thousands of nautical miles, escorting our compatriots back from European countries. This is another great feat and another masterpiece of the navy in successfully bringing back our compatriots."
As the host continued to broadcast, viewers saw the camera in that direction, showing more than twenty warships sailing in a grand procession, aimed at the Shanghai dock.
On that mast, a bright red flag fluttered in the wind, making it very eye-catching!
That flag is the symbol, the guiding light leading the fleet home!
Inside the main control room of ship 123.
The communications officer recalculated the distance and then reported: "Captain, the fleet is 18 nautical miles from the Shanghai dock and is expected to dock in 16 minutes."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qinglei picked up his binoculars and looked towards the shore. He then immediately ordered, "Notify all units that they can organize personnel to prepare for the landing. The landing will officially take place in 18 minutes!"
"Yes, Captain."
The communications soldier immediately relayed the relevant orders, while Zhou Qinglei continued to look towards the dock with his binoculars.
The journey was not easy, but thankfully we have finally returned to the embrace of our motherland.
Therefore, he felt that the burden on his shoulders had been much lighter, and he could finally put his mind at ease. He no longer had to be constantly on edge, unable to eat or sleep well.
Starting from Shanghai, the journey took us across the ocean to the European waters and back, covering more than 20,000 nautical miles and taking nearly two months in total.
The dangers and hardships they faced were countless; they were constantly battling for their lives and even wrestling with the King of Hell! Fortunately, they persevered and brought back everyone safely.
Not only did the warships escape unscathed, but not a single naval soldier was lost; they all returned unharmed!
He successfully completed the mission assigned by the Navy Headquarters, bringing back all the compatriots stranded overseas, living up to everyone's expectations.
What excited him most was that through this expedition to the European seas, he had seen through the true face of imperialism and discovered their strengths and weaknesses.
What they are most proud of is that their warships are even more advanced than those of some Western countries.
If the expeditionary fleet had one or two aircraft carriers, he would dare to stab the heart of imperialism and let those Western countries know what pain is!
Anyone who dares to oppose the Longxia tribe will have to pay a heavy price!
"We're finally back."
Zhou Qinglei put down his binoculars and muttered to himself, "Our navy is getting stronger and stronger."
Of course, he believes that the day when the navy has its own advanced nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is not far off.
Because the navy has Su Dingping, such a genius scientist.
For most of our compatriots, after experiencing trials and tribulations and life-or-death crises outside, they feel that home is the warmest place and the motherland is the safest harbor!
We're back!
"I never thought I would be able to hitch a ride back to China without spending a single penny."
"I have to say, our country is really very powerful. I wish there were more opportunities like this to return home for free in the future."
"Yes, in the past, whether you came back by plane or ship, it would cost a lot of money."
"Besides paying money, we also enjoyed a free escort by a warship back home. It felt amazing."
"We must raise this issue with the government; we should organize similar activities in the future!"
Several large cruise ships, as well as the top decks and corridors of the ships, were filled with Longxia people, who cheered excitedly and waved wildly at the dock.
For the vast majority of them, they experienced a kind of unprecedented care.
Of course, they wouldn't experience the same excitement they felt when they were evacuated from the war zone, but they did appreciate the strength of their motherland, even if they were just hitching a ride back.
The reason they were so lucky was that they were outmaneuvered by the leaders of the European countries; otherwise, they would never have returned on a free ship.
It was a coincidence within a coincidence, considering that they had previously paid for their own flights and ships to travel between the two places.
Because they weren't the top talents valued by Western countries; they were just ordinary people. To put it more bluntly, they were used as pawns by the higher-ups of European countries to disgust the Longxia tribe!
However, for highly skilled individuals like Lu Xiangdong and Ma Jiancheng, their mindset was completely different; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were going in completely opposite directions.
They could understand the feelings of those overseas Chinese who were evacuated during the war in the Kei tribe, and even empathized with them.
"We're back! We've finally returned to the embrace of our motherland!"
“When I went abroad before, I never thought that one day I would be locked up by those Anglo-Saxons. Without the warships of my motherland, I am afraid I would be stranded abroad for the rest of my life.”
"Haha, it's good to be back in China. But I feel a bit apprehensive about returning home. I have to say, the ancients' feelings are really true."
"We should go back and celebrate properly. What a stroke of luck to survive! It's so damn good to be alive!"
Lu Xiangdong and the others chatted and laughed, their gloom completely gone. Some cheered for the strength of the navy and felt fortunate that their motherland had not abandoned them.
There was nothing wrong with that. After this incident, they became even more determined in their initial decision. They gave up high-paying jobs overseas, returned to their motherland, and dedicated their lives to national development, striving to make the country stronger and more powerful!
During their detention in European countries, not one of them expressed any desire for their country to do anything for them, nor did they exert any pressure. Instead, they chose to grit their teeth and persevere, bearing the burden on their own!
Despite this situation, the country sent an expeditionary fleet to bring them home.
During their imprisonment and amidst a series of major events, they truly experienced the coldness and warmth of human relationships, realizing that only the country could be their greatest support.
In comparison, the actions of Western countries appear even uglier and more shameless.
So-called freedom and democracy are merely a fig leaf used by clowns to cover their shame. Once this cloth is torn off, their ugliest and dirtiest side is revealed.
The descendants of pirates, as expected of pirates, seem to know nothing but plundering and robbery.
In contrast, their own country starts from the needs of the people and strives for the well-being of the people, never wavering in the slightest.
Therefore, they felt even more strongly that their decision to return to their home country was absolutely the right one!
This is why a considerable number of highly skilled individuals who originally did not intend to return to China changed their minds and resolutely came back.
There's no place like home.
No matter how bad your own country is, it is still your own country, and your strongest support!
How could they not love such a country?
Meanwhile, the countries within the Europa Sea region, though forced to allow those highly skilled individuals to leave, were still extremely unwilling.
Of course, it's not that they don't want to take countermeasures; they simply have the will but lack the power.
British tribes, military intelligence.
Richard, the person in charge, had just received the latest intelligence. After reading it, his expression changed drastically. He quickly packed the intelligence into his briefcase and strode out of the office toward Downing Street, the Prime Minister's residence.
He knocked on the door of Prime Minister Antony's office and strode straight in.
What do you want from me?
Anthony looked up at the other person and asked directly, without stopping writing.
Richard didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked straight to the desk, sat down, and handed over the intelligence files from his briefcase. (End of Chapter)
