50s: Starting with a storage ring

Chapter 883 Heading to South America

Of course, he wasn't idle either. He took some food and drinking water from his spatial storage and stored them in the cargo hold of the "Costroma".

It's no longer appropriate for them to get supplies from the shipyard; he has to solve the crew's supply problem himself.

Factory Director Zhao and Section Chief Qu gasped in astonishment as they watched Sun Zhiwei's ghostly speed, which effortlessly dispatched the security guards blocking his path.

After Ji Yongjia led the crew away, Director Zhao hesitated and took two steps forward alone: ​​"Comrade Sun, could you have someone carry the wounded to the infirmary for treatment?"

"No rush, they won't die."

"Director Zhao, I'd like to confirm something. Are all the key leaders in your factory still holding military ranks?"

"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?" Director Zhao sensed something was amiss.

"What's wrong? The orders from above have already been issued, and you're refusing to carry them out. What kind of behavior is that?"

"Pointing a gun at your own comrades, what kind of behavior is that?"

Factory Director Zhao's face began to turn pale, while Section Chief Qu anxiously defended himself, saying, "This was an unauthorized action by our subordinates, and so were we."

"Don't you understand who should be in charge of the guns?" Sun Zhiwei roared angrily, which silenced the groans of the men lying on the ground.

"When your shipyard people were causing trouble, why didn't you report it? Why didn't you resolutely stop them? Instead, you called them and turned around and accused them."

"You couldn't possibly not know which department issued the order, and you didn't even consider the consequences of this matter."

Sun Zhiwei shook his head regretfully and said, "It seems you've been at the grassroots level for too long and have forgotten military discipline."

Factory Director Zhao then realized what was happening and said anxiously, "Comrade Sun, could we discuss handling this internally? Let's not trouble the leaders."

Sun Zhiwei shook his head: "I will report what happened today to my superiors as it is. I think the issue you should be concerned about is how to give an explanation to your superiors."

"Hurry up and bring the culprits under control. Then, before I submit my report, have them confess to their superiors. That's all I have to say."

After Sun Zhiwei finished speaking, he ignored them and followed Ji Yongjia and the others to the dock.

At this time, Ji Yongjia's team had already taken their positions, started inspecting the equipment, and turned up the reactor's power.

An hour later, Ji Yongjia came to report that all preparations had been completed.

Sun Zhiwei told them to set off immediately. The shipyard was in complete chaos, and it was best to leave as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

Sun Zhiwei opened the dock gate on the shore, and the "Costro" slowly sailed out of the indoor berth.

Only after watching the "Costro" rapidly descend and quickly disappear from sight did Sun Zhiwei turn back.

He plans to return to Beijing now; his comrades in South America are waiting for him.

Just as he got into the car, before he even started it, Director Zhao ran over from a distance, wanting to say something.

Sun Zhiwei ignored him. He had said everything he needed to say, and it was uncertain whether Director Zhao would be able to stay here any longer.

If the matter had ended after a few drinks yesterday, Sun Zhiwei wouldn't have said anything more, since they would have to see each other again in the future.

But last night the technicians worked through the night to dismantle the ship, and this morning the security guards blocked the road with guns, so the matter escalated.

Regardless of whether Director Zhao was the mastermind behind it all, the incident occurred at the shipyard, and as a leader, he cannot escape responsibility. It was also impossible for Sun Zhiwei not to report it; firstly, the matter involved too many people, and a leak was inevitable.

Another point is that he has no obligation to help the shipyard cover it up, and how can he act against his subordinates without paying a price?

As for what will happen to the shipyard in the future, it may fall to the bottom or it may redeem itself through meritorious service, depending on how strong their backing is.

Sun Zhiwei pretended not to hear Director Zhao's voice, started the car and drove towards the gate. He quickly shook off Director Zhao and left the factory area.

The shipyard area is actually quite large. If Director Zhao really wanted to stop him, he only needed to make a phone call to the gate before Sun Zhiwei left, and the security guard would definitely not let him through.

Since the gatekeeper didn't stop them, it means that Director Zhao has probably given up on trying to persuade Sun Zhiwei.

Sun Zhi didn't take it seriously. After leaving the factory area, he drove directly towards Beijing.

In the afternoon, Sun Zhiwei returned to the diplomatic building. After parking his car, he went back to his office to write a detailed report on the events of the past two days before going to see Xu Yimin.

After submitting the report, he obtained the contact information of the South American comrade and a plane ticket from Xu Yimin.

Although we have established relations with Bolivia, exchanges between the two countries are not frequent at present.

It's important to understand that opening a long-term air route is not just a matter of money; the opening of a flight is driven by either economic or political interests.

Currently, there is no need for China and Bolivia to establish long-term flights, so the ticket Sun Zhiwei received is for a direct flight to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil.

Brazil has evolved from a Portuguese colony to the Empire of Brazil, to the United States of Brazil, to the Federative Republic of Brazil, and then to a dictatorial government, a constitutional monarchy, and a military government.

It can be said that it has experimented with all the world's mainstream political systems.

It took the country 160 years to stabilize before it was reinstated to the Brazilian Federation two years ago.

This stability refers to political stability, because all other political systems have failed after being tested, and in comparison, only the federation is passable, which is why it has been able to stabilize.

Brazil is currently under a transitional government, and the domestic economy is in dire straits with inflation exceeding 100%.

Two years ago, the military government was in a state of utter chaos before it finally returned power to the people.

Sun Zhiwei rushed to Brasilia at this time, and shortly after he boarded the plane, a superior investigation team entered the shipyard.

One day later, after two transfers, Sun Zhiwei finally arrived at Brasilia Airport, where he quickly bought a ticket to Sucre, the capital of neighboring Bolivia.

However, since his flight was the next day, he booked a room at the airport hotel and then wandered around the area after leaving the airport.

Brazil's original capital was Rio de Janeiro. At that time, Brazil's coastal areas were already very developed, but its inland areas were very backward.

In an effort to change this situation, the then-president decided to move the capital to the country’s center, which is now Brasilia.

Brasilia is a newly built city carved out of a primeval jungle. It was constructed by 50,000 construction workers over a period of more than three years.

Therefore, the city is very well planned, and the layout of the entire city of Brasilia is like a giant jet plane.

Two cross-shaped main avenues form the main framework of the aircraft. The east-west main avenue is the fuselage, and the eastern end is the nose. Brazil's administrative, parliamentary and other top institutions are located here.
