What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 186 Christmas Express: Bismarck
The supply operation planned by Suha failed, and the two fishing boats lost contact, causing Aiga to suffer a huge loss immediately.

The loss of two fishing boats was enough to make him feel painful, and the loss of more than a dozen loyal brothers was an irreparable loss.

However, Suha himself was also scolded, and after haggling for a long time, he reluctantly gave Aiga 5000 US dollars as compensation.

Although there was no evidence, they immediately understood that a force had taken action.

However, Nansha is very close to Baquet Island, almost right under our noses. Logically, it would be easy to notice any ships hovering around it.

Because the contact was lost at the border of the territorial waters, Suha did not dare to make it public, but immediately summoned fishing boats to search for the wreckage.

A full week passed, and no wreckage was found on the determined route, nor were there any signs of sinking.

The salvage ship even brushed past two joint defense team destroyers several times. If the captain had not been smart enough to quickly retreat to the waters belonging to Baquet Island, it would have sunk again.

But this made them even more confused, as the two ships that lost contact should at least have had the opportunity to make a satellite call.

The situation on the Sierra Madre became worse and worse. Under pressure from his superiors, Suha paid for two more fishing boats.

This time, two technical soldiers with anti-interference radios were added to the ship, and cameras and satellite phones were all available so that they could keep in touch at any time after leaving the shore.

30 minutes after going out to sea, contact was lost.

Without any signs, half an hour was just enough to leave the waters off Baquet Island, and it disappeared almost immediately.

Suha immediately organized a motorboat to rush to the location where contact was lost, but no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find even a piece of debris!
Even if it sank or was broken, there should be something left in less than an hour!

Damn it, it’s really damn scary.

Not only Suha saw a ghost, but the IAA intelligence personnel equipped with professional equipment also found it incredible.

They were very sure of the location where the two fishing boats lost contact, but they just couldn't find anything. Could they have been towed away?
But the radar on the shore is not just for decoration. It can still detect small targets, so there must be some movement.

The supply operation was terminated immediately. No more efforts could be wasted until the cause was found.

And then they got even worse news:
The Gaijin Company dispatched two destroyers to operate near Reed Bank, most likely to survey the terrain.

The IAA knew there was something fishy going on, but the fishermen on Baquet Island believed it was real.

The four boats disappeared silently, and even the bodies were nowhere to be found. This was definitely not done by humans.

It could only be a sea monster, or perhaps some sudden whirlpool that swallowed them up.

Moreover, these four ships have one thing in common: the sea areas where they disappeared almost overlap.

Even if they still had the courage to sneak into the South China Sea, they completely avoided the area between Baquet and Nansha, and the previously busiest shipping route actually formed a vacuum zone.

Near the end of November, the Luzon side finally couldn't stand it anymore and came to the liaison office to quietly send a note:
You are really unsportsmanlike. Our four fishing boats disappeared silently. It must be you who did it!
……

"It's really not!"

Tang Wen denied it flatly, looking innocent.

Yan Jian's face was full of suspicion and he didn't believe a single word of it.

The note was sent back by the liaison officer and passed on repeatedly, and finally everyone unanimously locked on Gaijin.

Although there is no evidence, there is really no force other than them that can do it silently.

However, Tang Wen refused to admit it, saying that the weather in the South China Sea is changeable, and it is normal to have some whirlpools, storms, waterspouts, etc. There have been pirate incidents in Dongsha this year, and there might be pirates in Nansha as well. There are many accidents!
"Really?"

"Really? Speak with evidence. Do you have images? Do you have wreckage? We Gaijin are honest people. We didn't say anything when our rented land was occupied, and now we have to endure others' distorted slander..."

Tang Wen was heartbroken, as if he was the victim.

"Stop!" Yan Jian interrupted his clumsy performance and said helplessly:

"The question is not who did it, but who benefited from it, and there are already rumors brewing."

"Without conclusive evidence, we could face pressure from many quarters."

Only then did Tang Wen realize the seriousness of the matter. His thinking was still stuck on the time when the country was strong, and he sometimes ignored the actual environment.

If someone catches you hyping it up, it could very well bring you new troubles.

The reason why we are keeping a low profile now is largely to avoid being caught by others.

But an explanation? Do we need someone to come in and search?
No, Gaijin’s progress in the Spratly Islands must not be interrupted.

Tang Wen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his head:
"We need to divert their attention so they don't have time to pay attention to Gaijin's actions in the South China Sea."

Yan Jian was stunned, and then he remembered that Gai Jin’s “base” was in Southeast Asia, and it was a huge behemoth in secret.

But he immediately frowned: "How to transfer? We can't let our compatriots take risks."

Tang Wen put his feet up on the coffee table and huddled down on the sofa. After tossing and turning for a while, he suddenly remembered a movie from his past life, a very ridiculous spoof movie:

"Tell me, what would happen if Xiaoxi didn't die, but secretly moved to Antarctica with the elite?"

"what?"

Without waiting for Yan Jian to ask, Tang Wen continued:

"The battleship Bismarck and the cruiser Hipper set out from Antarctica and then appeared off the coast of Sydney. Does that count as a major event that attracted global attention?"

Yan Jian took a minute to understand this sentence, then remained silent for a minute to mentally struggle, and then he asked with difficulty:
"is it possible?"

"Yes, it can be done."

Tang Wen estimated that the range of the Sperm Whale 1 was more than 20000 nautical miles with the Halsey boost, which was enough to go around the Cape of Good Hope to the waters off Brittany, even if it was a one-way ticket.

The Sperm Whale 2 went straight to Antarctica to establish a base, resurrected the Bismarck and Hipper, and then set off from Antarctica in a brand new look, appearing openly in the waters between Kangaroo and New Zealand for a grand cruise.

The total cost will not exceed 100 million silver coins, and it should be completed in 25 to 30 days.

If you work hard, it won't be a problem to make it in time for Christmas.

Tang Wen's serious thinking was not fake. After confirming that he might really do this, Yan Jian took a deep breath of the 22-degree cold air from the air conditioner.

If they can build a Yamato, it is understandable that they can replicate the Bismarck, and it is not difficult to build the Hipper heavy cruiser.

If they could quietly deliver battleships and aircraft carriers to the bustling Goose City despite numerous difficulties, then finding a way to transport them to Antarctica would not be difficult either.

It seems...it seems that the organization behind Gaijin is really capable of doing it.

But if this really happened, he couldn't imagine what kind of situation it would cause.

The appearance of Yamato has made Benzi question his life. Countless ship experts and enthusiasts have been clamoring for the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology to visit the 001 battleship, and some civil organizations have even proposed to buy back this spiritual symbol of the Combined Fleet.

Bismarck appeared with Hipper off the coast of Australia? The outside world might have thought Hipper had finally gotten out of his shell, and history might even be questioned.

Sitting on the large and comfortable custom-made sofa, Yan Jian felt very uncomfortable, rubbing his thighs with trembling hands.

"This matter has a huge impact, so we should think carefully about it."

However, Tang Wen had already started thinking about how to execute it, and had given this plan a good name in his heart:
Christmas Express.
