Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1245

“The Americans want to expand the search range, and to the area we expect? This is a good thing.” Xie Kai heard Wei Hua say that the Americans are moving, and his face is calm, “Captain Wei, as long as the Americans have sufficient evidence. It proves that the plane fell apart, and this time the matter will be over.”

Wei Hua naturally knew.

From beginning to end, they were involved in the entire planning process.

After experiencing these things, Wei Hua increasingly believes that Xie Kai will have a place for the top international salvage team in the future.

It’s just a little regretful that the Americans just prepared to give up.

“It’s a pity that American talents gave 10 million U.S. dollars. This time, they only added 2 million U.S. dollars…” Wei Hua looked sad.

Xie Kai is a little unbelievable, “It uses Japanese money. The Americans are so stingy. This is not in line with their usual style. Moreover, from the current search area to an area of ​​80 kilometers, the salvage fee is at least It would also have to be increased tenfold or less. Such a large area, besides, does not cost the U.S. government money. The Japanese pay for it…”

“The head of the United States who oversees us, Sant, is a stingy dying. The Howard who followed him is not a good person. He does not have the generosity and pride of the world’s largest economic power…” Wei Hua sighed. The money is not in vain, they are reluctant to pay too much. According to our test, in addition to the initial five million US dollars, the first additional three million US dollars and the additional three hundred and five Two million dollars of the 100,000 dollars are all money given by the Japanese to those responsible for salvage supervision. Among them, 1.5 million is the salvage fee originally paid to us by the United States…”

Stent is different from other Americans who want to show his great power. Sometimes he even cares about it.

Following the Chinese salvage team with backward equipment drifting at sea for so long, Howard and others did not get a penny, so naturally they felt unhappy.

This also lets the senior management of the salvage team know the disagreement between them.

“There is no need to think about it too much, let them give up this time.” Xie Kai knew that Wei Hua somehow liked Americans to give money. “One and a half million U.S. dollars has been able to support for a long time, and the funds are gone. Let’s think of a way.”

This money is too easy to make.

The more money, the better the equipment that the salvage team can replace, and the more various salvage technology projects that can be studied.

Deep-sea diving not only requires deep-sea diving bells, more advanced detection technology and other equipment support, but also requires the support of medical and other logistics systems. At present, domestic deep-sea diving operations can only be carried out at a maximum depth of 120 meters, and the operation time is still very short.

If you want to work toward a higher depth, you must have more sufficient funds to support research and equipment updates.

More than ten million dollars is not enough.

With Xie Kai’s words, it is almost equivalent to a guarantee.

Wei Hua still believes in Xie Kai very much.

“Okay, we will let them pick up part of the main wreckage of the plane this time.” Wei Hua nodded.

He also knows that it is not easy to continue to make money from Americans unless the Americans change.

This possibility is not too great.

Without Xie Kai, they would never have a chance to make more than ten million dollars this time.

It is equivalent to nearly 50 million yuan in RMB, and the annual expenditure is usually several million.

“Towards the goal…”

The two salvage vessels J101 and J503 are several kilometers apart. In the middle and on the two sides, there are more small salvage vessels. These are salvage vessels seconded from the navy rescue team and the local maritime rescue team. More than ten salvage vessels are lined up. Straight line, at an extremely slow speed, a dragnet-style search was carried out towards the sea area where the tail wreck was found.

If the wreck cannot be found this time, either the Americans will provide more funds or they will just give up.

Either one is unwilling to Americans.

Although the Japanese gave the money.

The point is that if the money is earned by the Chinese, the Americans are uncomfortable.

The Americans can rob Japan, but other countries cannot.

“Howard, you said, if we can’t find it this time, what shall we do?” Stent asked Howard.

His face was full of worry.

He stood outside the bridge of the J101 salvage ship, letting the sea breeze blow his face.

Howard glanced at him and said indifferently, “If you can’t find it, you can’t find it. The ocean currents are always changing according to the direction of the wind… Those in the Ministry of Defense are not idiots. Or, just allocate more funds to continue. Salvage; or, give up.”

Howard Stant used all the five million dollars the Japanese gave them to salvage, and he was extremely upset.

The Stents are rich, so they don’t take this money in their eyes at all.

But for ordinary people like Howard, it is hard to get such an opportunity to extort some extra money from the Japanese, and it is reasonable and legal. The Japanese will give them money through some legitimate channels.

However, they can’t get a penny of extra money.

Even accompany this grandson to blow air on the sea…

“The government allocates funds? If you expand the search area, you go to Japan again and let them provide more salvage funds…” Stent is not willing to apply for more salvage funds from the country.

The funds originally approved by the superiors were only 1.5 million U.S. dollars. Among them, 1.2 million US dollars are salvage fees, and the other 300,000 US dollars are their expenditures in China.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

With the salvage team going out to sea every day, basically there is not much expense.

This money is added to the salvage cost of this expansion of the search area.

“Major, I came forward. The Japanese are willing to give 10 million dollars, which is already very face-saving. I have a low position and do not have a deep background…” Howard directly rejected Major Stent’s request.

MMP, come forward on your own, and you will definitely be on your own when there are things in the future.

There is no benefit at all, and you have to take it back. Whoever wants to do something like this is a fool.

Stent looked at Howard, wondering why Howard suddenly changed so much, “Before you said, the Japanese government will give you how much money it costs. Compared to compensation for the serious consequences caused by their mistakes, this money is nothing… …”

“Indeed, I said, and the truth is the same. Let them pay, it depends on who will communicate with them.” Howard said calmly.

He continued to show up, no problem, tens of millions of dollars is not a problem, even more.

The problem is that there is no benefit. The more funds they need, the longer they will be forced by the sea breeze. Who wants to?

With the same amount of money, why not enjoy the good life of a capitalist society at home, and go to China’s seas to suffer?

Steak, that’s not available.

Bread, no.

Yes, the only special thing is Chinese bread like steamed buns…

Stent has nothing to say.

He himself is unwilling to come forward and ask for money from the Japanese. The family does not want him to be in politics, and he has no interest in politics; it has always been smooth in the military system, and even promotion depends on the influence of the family. , No one needs to say anything, someone will help him get all this.

Therefore, the young comrade major did not understand the twists and turns in it.

“Wreckage found! Major, we searched for the target, suspected to be the wreckage of the plane, whether it was salvaged…” At this moment, Wei Hua rushed to find Stent.

Stent immediately became happy.

If the wreck is found, all problems will be solved.

“Salvage it!” Stent ordered immediately.

It is only more than 30 kilometers away from where the reconnaissance plane crashed into the sea.

The entire salvage fleet surrounded this sea area, and the saturation divers began to dive after being fully prepared.

Soon, the wreckage was salvaged.

“Is this the wreckage of our crashed plane?” Stent looked at the wreckage of the plane that was salvaged in front of him. There was only a section of the fuselage, and many of the skins on the outside of the plane could not be seen…

There is no trace of EP-3 at all.

Howard can’t be sure.

They didn’t expect that the information provided by the Seventh Fleet was complete after the plane crashed into the sea, only part of it was hit by the missile, and the equipment inside should also be complete. Even the surviving crew members confirmed that this was the case.

Inside the airplane, you can’t see all kinds of equipment at all, and even the airplane is blocked in the middle…

How long does it take to find a complete plane?

“The salvage team is on standby, immediately report to the country, seek technical support, and request domestic technicians to identify whether this is the wreckage of our crashed plane.” Stent is not a fool.

They would not just arbitrarily think that the piece of wreck they found was the wreckage of the EP-3 that fell into the sea.

On the third day, several technicians dispatched from the United States were in place. After careful identification, this was the wreckage of EP-3.

“Only find a part, how to deal with China?” Stent was a little worried.

In a section of the body, most of the electronic equipment in it was gone, and there was no trace of the reconnaissance aircraft. The antenna on the back disappeared, and the antenna on the belly was also invisible. The wreckage of the aircraft was also corroded a lot.

In desperation, he can only order to continue the salvage.

At the Shanghai Fishing Wharf, with the opening of the recycling station opened by Wei Haiqing’s people, many people are also staring here.

As long as someone gets something from the sea to the recycle bin, no matter whether they get a reward or not, someone will inquire about it.

Until one day, a fisherman appeared holding something a bit like a TV set, and after receiving a bonus of 20,000 yuan, he more and more aroused the enthusiasm of the surrounding fishermen.

Anyway, fishing has to go out to sea, and in any sea area, fishermen do not have detection equipment, and it is difficult to detect it. If someone asks about the sea area where the fish was caught, the person who caught it will not refuse to disclose it.

“That’s a weather radar working screen. Looking at this photo, the degree of corrosion is not low…” Both the Japanese and the Americans are very concerned about this waste acquisition station set up at the fishing wharf, especially Colonel Alex. They are all asking the CIA to pay attention to that side and feed back the news as soon as possible.

What he was worried about was that the Chinese would get the complete wreckage of the plane.

The plane is soaked in sea water for a period of time. Even if the Chinese get it, it will have no effect on the delicate electronic equipment after the seawater corrodes. The Chinese get it and he does not worry about it.

But when the plane crashed into the sea, two large salvage ships in China happened to salvage the wreckage of the target ship near that sea area.

If you salvage it in the first time, you can naturally get a lot of things.

“Colonel, it is corroded to such a degree that even if the Chinese get it, it is of little use.” said the assistant. “The weather radar screen discovered this time is almost completely opposite to the direction of the half-wreckage of the aircraft previously discovered, and it is close to China Baseline, if you want to continue searching, this range is too big…”

What was discovered this time was a straight line distance of more than 100 kilometers from the wreck that Major Stent had salvaged before, and it was not in the same direction.

Although it is for the Chinese salvage team to salvage and the Americans are on it, China will never agree to search their waters in this way.

Even if you agree, the salvage fee will be a big expense.

“There is a problem with the strength design of the EP-3 body? After falling into the sea, it collided with the reef under the impact of the waves?” Secretary of Defense Cappers looked at Colonel Alex with disbelief, “Colonel, you You know, your remarks will have a big impact…”

“General, although we are not willing to make such a conclusion, based on the current situation, I am afraid it is the case. The plane crashed into the sea because it was attacked by missiles… After the crash, although only part of the wreckage was found, according to technology According to personnel analysis, these salvaged locations are completely scattered, and there is no rule to follow…” Alex made full preparations.

The wreckage of the EP-3 that crashed into the sea has been found in four different directions.

These locations are all standard on the map, and there is no rule to follow.

There is even no connection between these locations.

It stands to reason that the ocean currents and monsoons in China’s seas are regular, but the aircraft was affected by the typhoon as soon as it crashed into the sea, so it is impossible to estimate the location of the wreckage of the aircraft through the study of ocean currents.

“Alex, what’s your suggestion?” Capos knew Alex and was very cautious.

Fully prepared every time.

This time, there are not only various technical data, but even ocean currents in China’s seas, etc., as well as satellite images…

“Abandoning the search, under such circumstances, to continue, it will only be cheaper for the Chinese. For such a huge sea area, the salvage team will need hundreds of millions of dollars to search. It is very likely that the Chinese fishermen have caught it before, and the Chinese are suspicious. ……” West expressed his opinion.

Giving up is the most appropriate.

If you really give hundreds of millions of dollars to continue the salvage, the Chinese will be in vain.

“Quit the salvage? Major, there is still a large area to search…” Wei Hua naturally didn’t want to end.

But the Americans were unwilling to continue, and announced the end of the contract.

“Give up so soon?” Xie Kai also breathed a sigh of relief, “I can finally go to the Paris Air Show easily. Maybe I can still get some benefits from the Soviets.”
