Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 101: Passing by the door without entering

After crossing the Indian Ocean and passing through the Strait of Malacca, we finally entered the South China Sea.

At this moment, Zhang Chaoyang stood on the deck, looking at the boundless sea in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a surge of joy at the thought of returning home.

After nearly twenty days of sailing on the sea, starting from New York and traveling halfway around the world, we are now only about three days away from our destination.

However, when the fleet arrived near the Zhongsha Islands, a tense atmosphere prevailed again.

Piracy activities are rampant in this waters, especially in the islands around Luzon, which provide a breeding ground for pirates.

In addition, this is an important route between Europe and Asia, and the number of pirates is particularly large.

In recent years, the number of pirates has increased dramatically.

Many bald defeated soldiers took their warships and broke away from their original units, occupied the islands, and turned into vicious pirates.

These pirates have warships and their strength should not be underestimated.

What's worse is that the navy on the bald side often harasses passing merchant ships under various names, especially merchant ships heading to the country, which undoubtedly makes this sea area more dangerous.

Faced with such a situation, Zhang Chaoyang knew that he could not take it lightly.

In Zhang Chaoyang's mind, it is urgent to unify the Southeast Asian pirates and sort out the Southeast Asian shipping routes.

Garde's warships should have arrived, and we will start working on this matter when we return.

Zhang Chaoyang looked out at the sea, thinking secretly in his heart.

Just as I was thinking about it, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded on the cruise ship.

Waves of alarms echoed across the cruise ship.

The tourists who were originally walking on the deck and enjoying the sea view quickly returned to the cabin after hearing the alarm.

Having encountered pirates seven or eight times before, everyone has long been accustomed to it. After hearing the alarm, they will actively return to the cabin without being reminded by the crew or waiters.

These passengers are all high-level intellectuals. They all understand that returning to the cabin at this time and not causing trouble for the crew is the greatest support for the cruise ship.

Zhang Chaoyang stood on the top deck, the sea breeze gently caressing his face. He looked into the distance, and suddenly a warship came into his sight.

This warship is a coastal frigate, followed by several converted fishing boats. This combination undoubtedly reveals an unusual atmosphere.

Without much thought, Zhang Chaoyang could guess the truth behind this warship and fishing boat - these were pirates evolved from bald deserters.

Their appearance instantly cast a layer of haze over the originally tranquil sea surface.

Zhang Chaoyang waved his hand calmly, took out a sniper rifle from behind him, and aimed at the approaching pirate ship.

He had already made a plan in his mind. Once the pirate ship came into range, he would open fire without hesitation to give these pirates a warning.

However, just as Zhang Chaoyang was about to pull the trigger, the pirate ship suddenly changed its course, drew an arc, and then turned away.

This scene made Zhang Chaoyang a little confused. He was stunned and looked at the pirate ships that were gradually going away in confusion.

At this moment, cheers came from the deck below, and Zhang Chaoyang suddenly realized what was going on.

It turned out that the reason these pirate ships turned around and left was because they recognized that the cruise ship Zhang Chaoyang and his crew were on was a foreign cruise ship. They were worried about retaliation from the foreigners, so they chose to escape.

Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

He cursed inwardly, "Damn it! These bald defeated soldiers are so cowardly even after becoming pirates. They are actually afraid of the foreign devils.

Damn it, he's such a coward to the bone!

You are such a coward, why are you still a pirate? Just go home and feed your kids."

Although he cursed, Zhang Chaoyang knew in his heart that the pirates' escape was a good thing for him.

He put away his sniper rifle, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to look out at the sea in the distance.

The foreign devils have been rampant and oppressing China for more than a hundred years. The fear of foreign devils cannot be changed in a short period of time. Only the one in China can change this situation.

The boss decided to fight a battle in the north in order to demonstrate the courage of the Chinese people and rebuild their backbone.

And the scientists on his ship were the craftsmen urgently needed to rebuild the backbone.

They are all craftsmen who help China rebuild its backbone.

The road to China's rise is long and arduous.

Although the pirates have left, this is undoubtedly good news for this luxury cruise ship.

However, Zhang Chaoyang was in a very heavy mood at the moment.

He would rather these damn pirates rush over and fight them.

Even if we just get close to the cruise ship, we can fire a few shots or cannons!
It's a pity that this was just his wishful thinking.

If those pirates really had such courage and bravery, they probably would not choose to become pirates.

After that, no pirates came to harass them again, and they passed through the Zhongsha Islands and Dongsha Islands smoothly.

When passing Baldhead Island, Baldhead's warships came up to inspect, but after Klein showed up, those warships simply chose to leave.

Not even checked.

We arrived at Tianjin Port smoothly. Tianjin Port, which had already received the news, had imposed a strict blockade in advance.

As instructed, the Crystal Palace docked at the cargo ship terminal.

Tianjin Port is one of the largest deep-water ports in China, so it naturally has a passenger terminal.

Letting them dock at the freighter terminal was just to keep it secret.

In that era, public-private partnership had not yet been implemented. There were many passenger ships coming and going at the ferry terminal, all of which were capitalists’ ships, and the flow of personnel was very complicated.

On the contrary, the cargo ship terminal is much simpler because of the blockade by foreign forces.

After the Crystal Palace docked at the pier, a group of scientists disembarked one after another.

There were already people waiting under the boat, and after they got off the boat, they were quickly taken away.

There were no flowers, no welcome ceremony, just a gentle greeting and then a quick departure from the dock.

Zhang Chaoyang stood on the top deck, silently watching everything below.

There was a faint smile on his face, full of pride.

He didn't go down, but just watched the scientists get off the boat and leave.

After everyone had disembarked, Zhang Chaoyang returned to the cabin and notified Klein to set sail through the internal phone.

A whistle sounded, and the Crystal Palace slowly left Tianjin Port.

Sit on the sofa and light a cigar.

Zhang Chaoyang hid himself in the smoke, and looked through the glass at Tianjin in the distance and the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland.

This can also be considered as passing by the house without entering, right?

Watching the Crystal Palace slowly disappear from sight, the scientists who had not yet left stopped and turned their heads to look back.

Their eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity about the mysterious ship, as well as shock and admiration for the mastermind behind the scenes.

The whole process was like a carefully choreographed drama, with every link appearing so perfect that one cannot help but marvel at the ingenuity of the planner behind it.

They could not imagine what kind of power and organization could arrange everything so thoughtfully to ensure their safe return.
