50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 788 The Giant Ship is the Best Passport
Just as Sun Zhiwei was piloting the Black Hawk close to the port, a helicopter flew in from the direction of the port. It was an old-model Sea King helicopter with a machine gun mounted on it.

The Sea King helicopter is a multi-purpose helicopter developed by America Kasikorsky Aircraft Company in the late 50s.

It is a whole size larger than the Black Hawk, but its main function is to carry anti-submarine radar and perform anti-submarine and transport missions.

However, because the Sea King helicopter did not have interfaces for installing weapons, the other side could only place a machine gun at the cabin door.

While this old aircraft equipped with a machine gun is a bit of a letdown, it's still a force that merchant ships don't want to mess with. But for the Black Hawk helicopter, this light machine gun can't even penetrate its external armor.

In terms of firepower, armor, speed, and maneuverability, the Black Hawk completely outclasses the Sea King.

Therefore, Sun Zhiwei didn't even bother to avoid it and flew straight towards the port.

As he passed the old helicopter, he waved to it.

Inside the helicopter opposite, the pilot and machine gunner had already spotted the Black Hawk flying over.

Any pilot who has learned to fly a helicopter would recognize the Black Hawk helicopter, so the balance of power on both sides made them wisely give way.

This was clearly not someone they could afford to offend; all they could do was observe and at most report it to their superiors.

And most likely the outcome will be that the higher-ups can't afford to offend the other party, and in the end they can only let it go, and their crew might even get criticized.

When they saw the Vulcan cannon and small missiles hanging under the Black Hawk helicopter as it passed by, they were both very glad they hadn't acted rashly.

Upon seeing Sun Zhiwei greet them, the pilot instinctively saluted him. Sun Zhiwei chuckled in response.

In these places near Africa, might makes right, and the people here are quite sensible; if they can't afford to offend you, they'll greet you with a smile.

If you can get some benefits, then someone will definitely come up and kowtow to you. But if the benefits are too great, you have to be wary of the other party turning around and biting you.

The law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly displayed here.

Sun Zhiwei ignored the Sea King helicopter behind him and flew directly towards the port berth area. Soon he saw two large ships moored together in the middle berth.

One of them looked like a frigate, flying the Russian flag. It appeared to have a displacement of over 5000 tons, and the menacing gun barrels on board were quite intimidating.

This is a warship from the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Empire, which sailed from the Mediterranean. It was also dispatched temporarily after receiving a mission to evacuate its citizens.

In a war-torn country like this, a giant ship is more useful than any passport.

The other ship next to it was a black and white painted cruise ship with the Union Jack flying.

Sun Zhiwei recognized the ship; it was Queen Elizabeth's personal vessel, belonging to the British Royal Navy's Royal Cruiser "Britannia".

Sun Zhiwei understood better than anyone why this yacht dared to enter the port unarmed.

Because Yemen has historically been a British colony, there are many pro-British forces there, and it's possible that both sides in the war are pro-British.

Therefore, British ships could enter Yemeni ports without fear at any time, regardless of whether there was a war there.

As long as neither side makes a foolish mistake, no one will attack the Britannia. Although Great Britain is gradually declining, it still has a strong deterrent effect on such small countries.

Sun Zhiwei remembered this yacht because, in his previous life, it was with the active assistance of this royal cruise ship, the Britannia, that they were able to successfully evacuate hundreds of staff members from Yemen to Djibouti. Shortly after completing this evacuation mission, the Britannia sailed to Hong Kong Island to welcome Queen Elizabeth II, who had just concluded her visit to the mainland.

Although the Russian warship couldn't carry too many people, it helped us evacuate five female staff members in the first batch.

Out of respect for the two ships that were providing us with assistance, Sun Zhiwei did not fly over their heads, but instead deliberately bypassed their berths and flew into the port from the side.

After entering the port area, he quickly determined the location and flew towards the embassy district of Aden's new city.

The city is now filled with the smoke of battle, no safer than the port area. Just in case, he also increased the Black Hawk's flight altitude to over 500 meters.

Soon, he spotted the national flags standing in the embassy district and found our red flag among them.

Seeing that the roof of the embassy's main building was a flat space, he flew directly over the embassy before descending, finally landing the Black Hawk on the embassy's rooftop.

At this moment, embassy staff who saw him land quickly notified embassy leaders.

When Sun Zhiwei parked the Black Hawk and came down from the roof, a group of people had already come up and were walking towards him.

Besides a few staff members who appeared to be leaders, there were also several security guards carrying weapons.

"Comrade, may I ask who you are?" the leader asked, extending a hand.

"The advance team of the rescue team, code name: Listening." Sun Zhiwei saluted him directly before shaking hands with him.

"Thank you for your hard work, we're late."

"Excellent, not too late, not too late, you've arrived just in time. Comrade Di Ting, where are the others now?"

The embassy leader was delighted to hear that he was from the rescue team, but was also a little puzzled when he saw that he was alone.

"Two more frigates are on their way and are expected to arrive in 4-5 days. I am the advance team that came from Malacca to provide you with some support."

"What does the embassy currently lack?"

"Comrade Diting, our supplies here can last for a few more days, but we are in dire need of defensive weapons. The embassy only has a few submachine guns and a few pistols."

"In addition, the most important thing now is to bring over the economic aid, contracting and expert teams from Hel Muksa community, as well as the medical team from Abyan province."

"However, if more people arrive, we may not have enough supplies."

"Understood, all of these are available. I'll go and fetch them. May I ask who the captain of the guard is?"

"This is Captain Wu Yanming."

"Hello, Comrade Wu Yanming, how many people are in the guard team now? Are any of them capable of using heavy weapons?"

“There are 20 guards in the embassy area now, another 10 in the Hel Muksa community, and 5 in the medical team.”

"What kind of heavy weapons are you talking about?" Wu Yanming didn't know what kind of heavy weapons a helicopter could transport. Surely it couldn't transport several cannons.
