Chapter 549 Clues and Possibilities
The day after Shi Quan and others boarded the ship, the convoy escorted by Master Deng and his wife, as well as Haining and others who rushed back from Norway, also arrived in Vladivostok.
Amidst the melodious sound of the whistle, the newly painted icebreaker slowly left the dock and sailed into the cold and windy sea after completing its last supply.
On the spacious deck, Xianyu led 21 Nenets men including Asak and the slow Deng Shuxiang to practice tactical coordination over and over again.
After running on the northern route for a winter, the 15 Nenets led by Rada had already become qualified sailors. On the contrary, the remaining five people led by Asak had been following their boss on land.
Time has made it difficult to adapt to the life on the ship - even though several of them have traveled through the westerly belt of the Southern Hemisphere.
Not to mention Deng Shuxiang, of course, he is still in the stage of "holding on the wall and walking" and is slowly adapting. This Mongolian man, who is about the same size as Asak, is obviously the first time in his life to board a ship, so even if the length is
The icebreaker, which was over 100 meters long, didn't move much at all, and his legs and feet were still a little weak.
Also busy was the kitchen on the ship. The arrival of Master Deng and his wife completely liberated the Zhang family. The performance of the couple was much better than their son. The slight shaking of the ship's hull did not affect their frying and frying preparations at all.
lunch.
These relatively "grassroots" employees have things to do, and the core employees of the club are not idle either. In the smoky conference room, Liu Xiaoye was holding a coffee pot in one hand and a teapot in the other as he stood in front of the waiter.
On both sides of the long table, Shi Quan, Da Yiwan and others looked at the information on the table, communicated from time to time, and lowered their heads to write and draw in their notebooks from time to time.
"Let's start with the simplest thing."
Shi Quan pushed the globe in front of him to the center of the table, "This globe was sent by Britta. I have been idle these days. Nasha, you are responsible for checking whether there are any special clues on the globe."
"Since it was sent by Britta, I guess even if there are clues, they have already been taken care of, right?" Nasha looked at the globe with a headache.
"Try it, maybe you can discover something."
Shi Quan picked up the laser pointer and pointed at the satellite map printed by the projector, "The second thing is the photo sent by the Jewish organization's No. 3 hunter Levi yesterday. The specific coordinates on the back are on the eastern border of Namibia, almost next to the borders of neighboring countries.
Botswana. But the problem now is that we only have one photo and a set of coordinates. What is there and whether it is worth our trip is still a question mark."
"Maybe it's a trap?" Big Ivan smacked his lips, "I don't think there is any need to go there."
"Maybe we should ask Issachar, maybe he knows something." Elena suggested.
"Leizi, go find Issachar and ask." Shi Quan handed the photo on the table to He Tianlei.
After the latter took the photo, he stood up and walked out of the conference room neatly. Shi Quan then said, "Then the most important thing is that the first stop of our voyage is getting more and more difficult. According to the clues provided by Huo Heng, when the US military was
After the end of the war, a large number of arms depots were handed over to the local area, and our goal this time is to find these missing arms."
"Strange..." Big Ivan muttered, "There is something wrong with these two handed over material lists."
"What's the problem?" Shi Quan asked in surprise.
Big Ivan ticked off items in the list of materials to be handed over, and then continued, "Comparing the receipt list, we can see that the missing arms are either very valuable or easy to sell.
Not to mention anything else, 6 Huey helicopters are missing, 9 Little Bird helicopters are missing, there are also four Patton main battle tanks, five M41 light tanks, an M551 airborne tank and a total of more than 20 M107s
With the M110 self-propelled artillery."
Big Ivan turned the page in the supplies list and continued, "Those are the more valuable equipment just now. In addition, there are nearly 10,000 rifles of various models, more than ten tons of ammunition and hundreds of barrels of Agent Orange.
, these things were all in hot demand on the black market at the time.”
"You mean...arms dealer?" Shi Quan asked in surprise.
“There is a high possibility”
Big Ivan found a piece of A4 paper, transcribed the missing weapons and equipment that he had just circled, held them in his hands, shook them, and said, "This batch of weapons and equipment could not be replaced even if I sold them to you China at that time.
It's a small amount of money, but if it is sold on the international arms market, the price will even be higher."
"But putting such a large amount of arms on the international market will definitely attract attention, right?" Shi Quan asked with a frown.
"Then we need to find someone who knows the situation and ask." Big Ivan said with a grin, "For example, Mr. Boroshenk, or Huo Heng himself."
"Huo Heng?"
Shi Quan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized something, "You mean, the buyer of this batch of missing arms... No, the seller, the seller of this batch of arms is Huo Heng?"
"It's not impossible"
Big Ivan folded the list he had just copied into a plane and threw it out, "Although Mr. Huo may not have held hands with a girl at the end of the Vietnam War, there will definitely be no one immediately after the Vietnam War."
To sell these things, you have to put them away for a while so that everyone forgets about them.
And the most important thing is that a few years after that war, Yue Yue was grabbed by your neck and used as a sparring partner for ten years by China. If this batch of arms had been used during that period, maybe we could only go to China.
Let’s go to the museum to see if there are any left.”
"What if it wasn't used in the war with China?" Nasha couldn't help but ask.
"If it had not been used, it would have been sold during the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, which was the golden age for arms dealers."
Ivan the Great sighed with emotion, and then said another possibility, "If this batch of weapons had not been sold before and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, then it is possible that they would still be in Yuehan territory."
"It sounds like the probability of finding it is not high," Elena muttered.
"It's really not high." Shi Quan couldn't help but nodded, "Ivan, if the lowest probability appears, where do you think they will be hidden?"
"Does this need to be said?"
Big Ivan found a map of the Harder War from the pile of information on the table. "The event marking the end of the Harder War was a common action of the Americans. At that time, North Vietnam had already reached Saigon, which is today's Xiao Ming."
It’s on the outskirts of the city. So the last possible hiding place for these weapons can only be south of Xiaoming City.”
Shi Quan nodded secretly. Big Ivan's analysis was almost the same as the arrow range he found using the map vision.
After thinking for a moment, Shi Quan began to say, "The more difficult things will be decided after we arrive at the Philippine Monkey Country and talk to Mr. Huo. While we have time on the ship these days, let's find out the clues on the globe first."
Everyone responded feebly after hearing this, but before they could start complaining, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and He Tianlei pushed Issachar in a wheelchair and walked in.
"I probably know what's on the border of Namibia," Issachar said straight to the point. "In the 1980s, the third-generation hunters of our organization caught a lot of those fragile remnants there."
"Safe house?"
Shi Quan raised his eyebrows and asked, thinking that this Jew was quite interesting. He occupied Utsjoki's fragile safe house, and then rewarded his informant with a safe house that they had left over.
"Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a laboratory."
Issachar tried hard to recall the information he had read within the organization, "Our people found a lot of dangerous things there, and also found a small plane from the World War II era. I guess Levi gave you this
coordinates, I just want to send you that plane."
"Are you sure that plane is still there?" Big Ivan couldn't help but ask.
“Definitely still there”
Issachar's tone was particularly positive, "And it's not in the desert. I went there specifically to look for it when I was on vacation in Namibia a few years ago."
"Issachar, what type of plane is that?" Elena asked the key question.
"I don't know about that." Issachar spread his hands, "I haven't dug it out and looked at it."
"A trip?" Shi Quan looked at everyone.
"Anyway, I'm on my way." Big Ivan was the first to express his support, and then Elena and others also agreed to the decision to temporarily increase the schedule.
Next, Shi Quan and others did not shy away from Issachar, but instead took him as a strong man, and under Nasha's command began to search for possible clues on the newly obtained globe.
While the icebreaker was sailing south with everyone, they were on Tsushima Island, the center of the Tsushima Strait, their last place. Britta, wearing a pink kimono, elegantly walked into a Japanese-style courtyard.
At the invitation of the owner of the courtyard, Britta knelt down on the tatami stiffly, took the teacup handed to her and took a sip. The bitter taste made her frown slightly, but there was a series of words she had memorized in advance on her lips.
words of praise.
The owner of the courtyard is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties. His English is difficult to understand, but he can barely communicate, "Miss Britta, you are welcome to come, but I don't think we can."
What’s the intersection between them?”
“There was really no interaction before today.”
Britta put down the tea cup gently, and then pulled out a photo from the handbag beside her, "But don't you want to find this boat?"
The owner of the courtyard glanced at the photo inadvertently, and his eyes, no bigger than a peanut, shone brightly.
Britta pointed to the rippling sea outside the window, "If nothing else, Mr. Hirai..."
The owner of the courtyard did not give Britta a chance to finish her words. He returned the photo directly and simply, then stood up and said, "Miss Britta, I don't have much objection to your next proposal."
Interested. In addition, you can stay in Tsushima for another two days. After two days, whether you leave or not, I will inform the Jews. I believe they will be happy to know that you are hiding in Tsushima."
A hint of just right anger flashed in Britta's eyes, and Shi Shiran stood up and left this small but particularly exquisite courtyard without even taking the handbag beside her.
The owner of the courtyard stared at Britta's bumpy back and showed a lewd smile that all men knew. Then he carelessly threw the photo that was still on the tea table into the charcoal stove nearby.
