Therefore, hospital ships came into being and slowly became more professional.

For example, the large helicopter deck at the back is definitely not used as a helicopter carrier, but because helicopters are most efficient in rescuing the wounded. Although there are a row of small lifeboats on the side of the ship, they are obviously not as convenient and fast as using helicopters.

.

No matter whether it is a warship of any country, as long as it relies on this kind of cross, it is not allowed to attack. This is protected by international conventions.

In times of war, hospital ships have to rescue the wounded. In times of peace, hospital ships can also play a huge role in rescue and disaster relief. In 1978, Mercy

The ships organization was established, and civilian medical ships developed vigorously. Some were retired from the fleet, and some were specially built. These medical ships rescued the wounded and rescued the wounded, but they did not belong to any country, so these ships flew under flags of convenience when sailing.

Flag of convenience means convenience. Ships do not need to sail in the waters of a certain country. It is just for convenience to register in a country with loose ship registration, obtain the nationality of that country, and fly the national flag of that country.

Now, this hospital ship is flying the flag of the Prairie Country, which makes it look a bit funny.

Anyone who is familiar with it will know that this hospital ship should belong to the Pacific Fleet, and its original name was Vodra River.

This is a hospital ship commissioned by the Pacific Fleet in the 1950s. It has a history of forty years. Years of trekking have made it hobbled, slow, and covered in rust, so that the hull number

All gone.

This kind of old ship has been retired for seven or eight years. It was replaced by the Type 320 Ob River class hospital ship. There are four ships in this class, namely "Obi River", "Yenisei River",

The "Sver River" and the "Irtysh River" had a displacement of approximately 1,000 tons. After entering service, they immediately became the backbone of Lao Maozi's hospital ships.

The old hospital ship should have been decommissioned long ago.

Now, the hospital ship, which has been turned into scrap metal, appears on the sea. This will be its last voyage. Next, waiting for its fate, it will definitely be dismantled.

However, I don't know what was placed on the deck behind it. It was bulging and covered with a tarpaulin. From the outside, I could see what should be a cylinder inside.

There was a rumble in the sky, and a helicopter with a plaster flag flying over.

"Listen to the Prairie Country hospital ship below. We suspect that you are carrying contraband on board. Please stop the ship immediately and undergo inspection!"

The helicopter with the plaster flag circled the ship three times, and then, just when it was about to hover over the hospital ship and lower the personnel, another helicopter flew over.

This helicopter has two large plates on the top. Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell that it belongs to Lao Maozi’s carrier-based helicopter!

The appearance of this kind of helicopter nearby means that Lao Maozi's warship is also nearby!

Sure enough, half an hour later, fifty nautical miles away from here, on the bridge of the destroyer painted with the hull number 151, the captain was surprised to see a huge fleet approaching them.

"Damn it, that's Novorossiysk! We've been tricked!"

I originally thought that there would be Lao Maozi's destroyers nearby, at most Dreadnought-class or Modern-class destroyers. Who would have expected that the big guys from Lao Maozi's Pacific Fleet would actually be dispatched!

Destroyer No. 151 was quickly surrounded. The captain was extremely frightened and called for reinforcements.

"No. 151 in front, listen, we suspect that you are carrying contraband on board, please stop the ship immediately and accept inspection!"

This moment is the most glorious moment of Lao Maozi's Pacific Fleet. They finally avenged the Tuaps last time!

The conflict broke out suddenly, and the islanders went crazy.

On the TV, the host from the island country was filled with indignation.

"We have every reason to believe that there are a large number of Scud missiles on the rear deck of the scrapped hospital ship! This is a serious arms smuggling case and the culprit of the proliferation of Scud missiles! We require boarding the ship for inspection!"

In the TV screen, the image on the rear deck of the hospital ship was clearly visible. What was covered by the tarpaulin was 100% Scud missiles!

"This hospital ship flies the flag of the Prairie Country. Even if it comes forward, it should be the Navy of the Prairie Country. It has nothing to do with Mao's Pacific Fleet! It is precisely because there are contraband on it that the Navy of Mao is doing this.

in a hurry!"

If you don’t dare to come with the hard one, then go with the soft one.

Some island fishermen with white cloths on their heads took action and drove their fishing boats in circles around the hospital ship to prevent the hospital ship from moving forward. At the same time, they monitored the people on the ship to see if those things were thrown into the sea.

It is absolutely impossible to destroy evidence.

At this critical moment, Nicholas was also interviewed.

"This is a slander against our Pacific Fleet!" Nicholas was extremely angry: "This hospital ship was indeed the Vodra River of our Pacific Fleet in the past, but it was decommissioned a few years ago.

, it is a ship belonging to a civil organization in the Prairie Country. Our fleet happened to be training nearby. After receiving the distress signal, it went to provide support. Now, we declare that that sea area belongs to our exercise area, and we may launch missiles at any time.

, if accidental damage is caused, the entire responsibility will be borne by the ship that broke into our exercise waters!"

During the stalemate, someone came out to mediate, but Nikolai still did not relent: "Why check? What power do they have? Even if it is really a Scud missile, this kind of missile with a range of less than 300 kilometers is internationally allowed.

We can sell it openly, why should we hide it? Some people have ulterior motives. This is slander!"

"What? Since it's not there, then you can make it public to prove your innocence? Why? Unless those who ask for inspection give us a deposit of 10 million US dollars first! If there are Scud missiles on it, we will pay 10 million US dollars. If there are no

, this deposit was confiscated as punishment!”

If you want to check it, check it, and if you want us to make it public, then make it public?

Get the money out first!

Nicholas insisted.

So, some people gritted their teeth and came over with 10 million US dollars!

Now that you have the money, let’s make it public!

Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the hospital ship. There were seven or eight helicopters hovering in the sky, and there were countless fishing boats nearby.

When the tarpaulin was unveiled, everyone held their breath.

Scud missiles must be Scud missiles!

The island country's TV station was broadcasting live, and the host was there, shouting something constantly.

I don’t know how many viewers were in front of the TV watching this scene.

Lao Maozi asked for 10 million just to scare them away! Lao Maozi never thought that they really gave 10 million. Now, Lao Maozi is riding a tiger and can only make it public. As long as the Scud missile comes out, Lao Maozi will completely lose his reputation.

sweep the floor!

A corner of the tarpaulin was uncovered, revealing the cylinder inside. Many people were delighted. Looking at the thickness, it looked like a scud!

Wait, something seems wrong. If it's the tail of the Scud, there should be four fins. If it's the front, it should be pointed. This cylinder...could it be that four fins have been removed?

That's right, it must have been dismantled, otherwise it would be inconvenient to transport.

They continue to look forward to it.

The cylinder continues to reveal its true appearance, getting longer and longer.

"No, this is not a Scud missile. Its length has exceeded that of a Scud. Could it be that this is a more advanced missile, such as a Spider?"

"Hey, what is that? Point the camera at the scar-like thing and zoom in!"

A white scar appeared on the missile body, which aroused the host's curiosity.

When the camera zooms in, you can see that there are circles of things inside the scar, so clear and familiar.

These are...tree rings!

Damn, the cylinders on the rear deck of this hospital ship are actually not missiles, but a boatload of wood!
Chapter completed!
