HK Composite: Starting from Shenghe Leading

Chapter 589 Welcoming the King's Army

From the perspective of these Danish troops, it's better to do nothing than to waste energy and emotions if they don't receive gratitude or recognition after investing resources.

This kind of ingrate should not be helped in any way!

Now, the Hutchison Fleet has arrived with orders signed by the Queen and the Prime Minister to relieve them, which has delighted them greatly.

"Welcome, welcome, warm welcome."

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

"Great! Finally, I'm leaving this freezing cold place. I can finally go home..."

The Danish garrison not only showed no resistance, but was also very proactive and excited. As a result, the Hutchison Fleet not only did not encounter any obstacles during the troop rotation, but also received a lot of help.

After the rotation of troops was completed, the warships sailed directly into the port.

After docking, soldiers in neat rows emerged from each warship to relieve the Danish troops on land, according to the established plan.

It has not only a navy and army, but also an air force.

"Yangtze River, prepare! Yangtze River, prepare!"

"Constant speed, constant speed, prepare for takeoff, prepare for takeoff..."

As Eisen Nimitz's orders were given over the radio, a large, seemingly ordinary ship sailed in through the waves!

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary ocean-going vessel, but strangely, the deck of this ship is ridiculously large.

The strangest thing was that there were six fighter jets neatly parked on the deck. It was so absurd, it was ridiculously absurd.

This large ship, named the Yangtze River, is a large vessel with a displacement of 15,000 tons.

According to the standards for ocean-going freighters, this is not surprising, but the other parameters are quite puzzling.

According to the essential announcement, the ship is a large vessel with a full-length deck, 200 meters long, 38.8 meters wide, 16.5 meters deep, and a draft of 5 meters.

It also requires the use of a steel hull and the design of a hangar and dock.

Full-length deck, steel, hangar and dock...

Those in the know will immediately recognize that this is the configuration of an amphibious assault ship.

Moreover, it adopts a three-island design, which is unique in the world at present.

The ship features a large bridge on its forward island, clearly for ship control; the middle island is about four stories high, and there is a large control platform at the rear of the middle island, similar to the deck control platform of the Type 075 amphibious assault ship; the third island at the rear is actually a smokestack used for the ship's engine intake and exhaust.

From a certain perspective, the Yangtze River is a large ship that falls between military and civilian use.

It's unclear what methods Lin Zehao used to obtain the necessary permits and launch the ship successfully.

Not to mention the pirates, even he, a professional soldier who once rose to the rank of Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy, was dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Eisen Nimitz couldn't help but sigh.

"Mr. Lin is truly a genius. He managed to build a 'civilian aircraft carrier' that complies with regulations without violating international law and relevant laws such as the Maritime Law."

"With this, Greenland's defenses are basically secure."

After successfully taking over the garrison and defense of land, sea and air forces, Greenland's military strength has undergone a dramatic transformation compared to before!
It's not an exaggeration to say that Denmark's military strength is indeed not as formidable as that of businessman Lin Zehao.

This is true of many European countries; although their people enjoy affluent lifestyles, their military strength is indeed questionable.

This is where the importance of the so-called European Union becomes apparent.

As a large number of professional soldiers bearing the Hutchison insignia were deployed to Greenland, the local residents were shocked and terrified, and immediately dropped what they were doing and hid in their homes as quickly as possible.

Some of the bolder individuals, after discovering that Hutchison Security showed no aggressive tendencies, chose to remain bystanders, risking their lives.

Fortunately, Hutchison's security has always been disciplined; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"What exactly happened? Why were the Danish troops attacked right at their doorstep without putting up any resistance?"

"God! May the Almighty Lord bless us, and may the Holy Light shine upon the earth once more!"

"I told you long ago that those Danes are unreliable. We should be the ones building the army ourselves!"

"Coming on your own? The entire island of Greenland has only about 70,000 people, plus a small number of outsiders. How do you plan to come on your own? Are you trying to wage war?"

"........."

The entire island of Greenland was thrown into chaos. People were too afraid to go out and carry out normal production processes. They all hid at home like ostriches, fearing that trouble would come knocking.

[Attention all Greenlanders: This is a formal military rotation, a legal process that has been signed and stamped by the Queen of Denmark and the Prime Minister.]

[A 24-hour curfew is in effect from now on. Everyone is requested to stay home and enjoy this rare paid leave.]

When I wake up tomorrow, Greenland will still be Greenland.

This rhetoric was repeated three times via radio and television before it ended.

After understanding the general situation, the public's fear was effectively alleviated, and many people began to accept reality and enjoy a day off without leaving home.

Even though some of the bolder or more curious individuals wanted to go out and investigate further, the patrolling Hutchison Security personnel were not just for show. After dealing with a few typical cases and issuing notices, the rest of the staff generally behaved themselves.

Meanwhile, Lin Zehao summoned two of the most prominent politicians in the area to a luxurious seaside estate.

From the outside, the entire manor is hidden among lush trees, making it impossible to see what's inside.

The mere presence of the visible guard post was enough to intimidate anyone with ulterior motives, let alone the guards hidden in the shadows.

Inside the vast, luxurious estate, Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell felt incredibly tense.

Especially when looking at the uniformly dressed men in black suits around him, he subconsciously began to swallow his saliva.

If the enemy's defenses hadn't been so tight, leaving them with virtually no chance of escape, the two of them would have already packed up and run away.

This atmosphere doesn't seem like that of a proper businessman at all.

On the contrary, there are more like the Mafia...

With hearts pounding with unease, Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell could only follow closely behind, their nervousness growing rapidly.

Cold sweat dripped incessantly from their faces, like a faucet that had fallen into disrepair.

"Damn, the corridors alone are so long, I can't even imagine how big this manor really is..."

Adrian Davenport was inwardly grumbling, while his brain was racing, trying to figure out who the other person was.

Unfortunately, after brainstorming for a long time, he still couldn't come up with anything.

It was almost certain that the other party was involved in Hutchison Security's operation. With mixed feelings, the two turned two corners and arrived at a place that resembled a study.

"go in."

After the security personnel finished speaking, they led the two inside without waiting for their consent.

"Brother Hao."

Lin Zehao put down the book "How the Steel Was Tempered" and nodded, indicating that he should bring the person in.

As soon as Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell entered, they saw Lin Zehao leaning against the boss's chair.

The other person was probably in his thirties, dressed in a white training uniform, which looked very simple and elegant, but the aura he inadvertently released still made the two of them feel a lot of pressure.

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Remembering the instructions given to them before they entered, the two quickly bowed and greeted each other respectfully.

"Please sit down. I don't have many rules here."

Although Lin Zehao spoke casually, the two dared not be negligent in the slightest and immediately sat on the leather sofa, though they certainly dared not sit down properly.

"Paul Korchagin is really amazing. Who would have thought that the person who wrote such a book would already be in a high position?"

At that time, Pavel Korchagin was the head of the Ermao Youth Corps. Even the Song Dynasty emperor had to sit behind him during meetings.

Upon hearing Lin Zehao's words, the two exchanged glances, not daring to respond until they understood his true intentions.

Lin Zehao didn't mind, and simply gestured with his eyes for Amai to hand the documents to the two of them.

"Look, this will change the course of your lives forever."

Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell quickly took the book with both hands and began to carefully examine it, not daring to blink even once.

The document that could change their destiny intrigued them greatly.

Three minutes later, their expressions went from barely keeping calm to gaping wide-eyed, completely losing control of their emotions.

"Is...is this real...?"

They couldn't believe that Denmark would sell the entire island of Greenland to a businessman!
And he was an Eastern businessman!
This feeling is as absurd as someone predicting that the Earth will be destroyed in 2012!
The most terrifying thing is that such outrageous news actually became a reality!
"This...this...if that's the case, then Greenland could declare independence!"

After the initial shock, the thought immediately popped into the minds of Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell, and it spread like wildfire!
Greenland's independence and autonomy have been a dream for many years!
Although some progress has been made in recent years, it still seems like a long way off.

Now, with Lin Zehao's involvement, it's actually about to come true?
However, as their excitement gradually faded, they had to face reality.

Although they didn't know exactly how much Lin Zehao had paid to buy the largest island on Earth from the Danish government and royal family.

But what is foreseeable is that this will be an astronomical figure.

So here's the question: why should the islands that people paid such a high price for be handed over to the Greenlanders for self-governance?

"Mr. Lin, may I ask you a question..."

"What will you do next to settle Greenland?"

Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell exchanged a glance and briefly discussed their thoughts, with Davenport deciding to speak first.

"Disposal?"

"Using this word seems a bit inappropriate, doesn't it?"

"I am just a businessman, I have no political leanings, and I have no desire to get involved in this kind of thing."

"As long as my assets are guaranteed not to be lost and my absolute interests in Greenland are protected, I don't really care who manages it. Do you understand what I mean?"

To reiterate, Lin Zehao never wanted to become a politician; it didn't align with his original intentions.

The reason for going through so much trouble to buy this island was simply to have an overseas base as a foothold, so that if things went wrong, at least there would be room for maneuver and the resources to retaliate.

Are you telling the truth?

Vander Maxwell's eyes shone, and his words were filled with barely suppressed excitement!
According to this logic, wouldn't they have a chance?

"of course."

Lin Zehao did not want to stand on the opposite side of the people and do things that exploit and oppress them, but that was the inevitable path to becoming a government official.

Moreover, the entire island of Greenland has a population of less than 80,000, and given its geographical location, he was even less interested.

To put it bluntly, this is a small group, fewer than the number of his employees.

So why bother?
“Then we…” Adrian Davenport began cautiously.

Considering Lin Zehao's remarks and his sudden request to see them, it was hard for the two of them not to have all sorts of wild thoughts.

If the Greenlanders could seize the opportunity to establish their own government, it would undoubtedly be a historic move!

The thought of being recorded in history filled them with overwhelming excitement and joy!

"You two are smart people, which is why I'm calling you two out specifically today."

"I think you should know that there are many Greenland politicians who meet the requirements."

"Or to put it more bluntly, any manager I randomly pick from my company could handle the job of managing these 80,000 people."

In this situation, if you want to employ people, you must make them understand that they are not unique, and are even completely dispensable.

Furthermore, Lin Zehao was not lying; if he wanted to, he could easily transfer his subordinates to do the work.

The only question is whether he's willing to put in the effort.

"Yes, yes, we certainly believe what you say; there is absolutely no doubt about it."

"Furthermore, the fact that we were able to obtain an agreement signed by the Queen and the Prime Minister of Denmark speaks volumes."

Adrian Davenport and Vander Maxwell nodded repeatedly, looking in agreement.

They had naturally heard of Lin Zehao's reputation.

Although they didn't understand much before, after seeing the fleet, soldiers, and fighter jets, they understood everything.

With such military strength, whatever he says should be correct.

refute?

They're not that stupid.
