What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 224 Straight Up, Then a Sharp Turn Down!
At this time, Tang Wen also learned more information:
The trapped ship was No. 8101, his old friend.

Shocked and angry, Tang Wen suddenly thought of something, silently moved the original plan to B, and quickly came up with Plan A.

If it's Boss Chen, then as long as his satellite phone can be connected, there's an even simpler way.

The Type 2 large boat is a seaplane that can fly close to the sea surface and can reach its destination within three hours.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the trainees saw the Type 2 large boat, which had been docked in the harbor, turn its propellers, as if it were about to take off.

Bai Hantao rushed over to check, he had to keep an eye on Tang Wen to prevent him from doing anything reckless.

"Don't worry, I'll just send someone to check it out!"

Tang Wen: "The Type 2 large boat is not an attack aircraft. I happen to have a few pilots with good skills. I'll go over and scare them."

Oh, and remember to let them know that the plane's paint scheme is for a tourist attraction prop, nothing more.

Bai Hantao looked over and saw that it was a notebook with a green background and a red sun design.

Although reluctant, the seaplane had already accelerated and taken off, gliding at high speed on the sea surface, so he could only nod.

In fact, if the Type 2 large boat flew close to the water surface, radar might not be able to detect it!

However, as long as Tang Wen didn't go up, he stayed by the latter's side, fearing that something might go wrong.

Tang Wen was fully aware of his thoughts, so he took the initiative to find him some work:
"Remember when I said I wanted to build an aircraft carrier? Now there's a problem."

Bai Hantao quickly asked, "What's the problem? Just tell us, and we'll do our best to help!"

Although the Naval Academy is short of funds, it is still willing to risk its reputation to accomplish a lot for the sake of the aircraft carrier.

Tang Wen: "I don't know which aircraft carrier would be more suitable. After all, you are more professional in this area. Why don't you help me take a look?"

That's it?

Bai Hantao immediately patted his chest and agreed, only to realize later that something was wrong.

Wait, does this sound like there's more than one?
When he arrived at Tang Wen's office, the latter pointed to a wall covered with documents and said:

"That's all. Those with red tiles cannot be modernized and can only be used in their original state."
The blue magnetic sticker allows for modifications to the angled deck and BS-4 steam catapult, and a modification draft is included.

Bai Hantao glanced over and read it aloud as if reciting a familiar list:

"Taihou, Shinano, Ryujo, Lexington, Yorktown, Bumblebee, Akagi, Kaga, White Dragon, Hiryu, Royal Ark... Count Zeppelin?!"

Something strange seems to have sneaked in!

Bai Hantao took a step back, caught his breath, and asked tremblingly:

"These are all options?"

"Pretty much, but I suggest choosing a small or medium-sized one, 3 tons or less, otherwise there might not be enough personnel, and large aircraft carrier shipyards cannot be modernized."

almost?
Is it too little or too much?
Bai Hantao instantly forgot everything else; he had never seen so many aircraft carriers before!
And so many of them seem to be old, sunken vessels. Could it be the ghost of an aircraft carrier reappearing?

Although he had a vague feeling that something was wrong, he believed Tang Wen's words and immediately gathered others to study the materials.

Suddenly, there was another sound of propellers outside the window. He turned his head and saw two SBDs with original Mitsubishi livery taking off outside the window. It must be the old pilot taking his routine flight.

……

At 10 a.m., the stalemate entered its final stage.

Because Chen Haifu had arranged for two shifts in advance, the sailors who took over guarded the cabin door.

It was made of ship steel, and the heavy hatch could not be broken open by brute force, even though patrol members had boarded the ship.

If no violent cutting or other means are used, Chen Haifu can definitely hold out until the Fisheries Administration 302 arrives.

However, things were not that simple. Although they could not take away the crew members who had taken cover in advance, they could tow away No. 8101.

The propeller of the fishing boat had long been thrown into a bundle of rope. Chen Haifu noticed something was wrong when he tried to start it a few hours earlier and almost damaged the reducer.

Seeing that the soft approach was not working, one of the patrol boats planned to tie the anchor of 8101 and tow it back by force.

Although the patrol boat is not very powerful, and its speed after towing is only six or seven knots at most, it will be too late by the time the Fisheries Administration 302 arrives.

Uchimura Arita was constantly in contact with headquarters, inquiring about the movements of the Fisheries Agency and Gaikin.

The Fisheries Agency's ships were still several hours away, and no unusual activity was detected in the port of Taipa, except for a few planes taking off. Since Taipa takes off many times almost every day, the informant did not pay much attention to it, and the headquarters ignored it when they heard it was an F4F. The only message Uchimura Tomohiro received was a brief "nothing happened".

"Boss, they're going to tug the boat!"

"I can see it!"

Chen Haifu cursed, but he couldn't go out to stop it, so he could only anxiously think of a solution.

The sailors behind him had only slept soundly for two or three hours and had been under constant tension, so they were now somewhat excited.

He gritted his teeth and suddenly rushed forward to reach his hand under the rudder.

"What are you doing!"

Chen Haifu swiftly pressed down on the lattice door, prompting a hushed argument from the sailors:
"Since things are already like this, might as well fight them! I'll be the first to break through!"

As a veteran seaman who frequently goes to sea and is also a member of the militia, he naturally had some self-defense equipment on board.

However, Chen Haifu knew very well that that thing absolutely could not be used.

"Biaozi, listen to me, I'll figure something out!"

"Hey!"

The sailor angrily flung his hand away and reluctantly stepped aside, but he was clearly not giving up yet.

But what solutions could Chen Haifu come up with?
In desperation, he took out his satellite phone, hesitating whether to call Tang Wen.

Only then did he realize that the satellite phone was turned off, and without thinking, he replaced the battery first.

Just as he was watching the patrol boat's anchor cable being secured, the satellite phone, which had just been turned on, rang.

……

Tomohiro Uchimura noticed the unusual movement first, as two small black dots were rapidly rising above the sea level.

Allison remotely controlled the two aircraft formation, flying at an extremely low altitude of less than 10 meters above the sea level, managing to evade the dense radar detection in the strait.

They and the Type 2 large boat were only detected and warned by radar at the strait exit, but it would take at least 40 minutes for the intercepting aircraft to arrive.

A quick resolution is needed.

Arita Uchimura stared blankly as the two SBD planes climbed higher and higher, before he could even make out what kind of planes they were, they had already disappeared into the clouds.

Where did the electric fan come from?

Just as he was wondering, the trapped fishing boat suddenly changed.

The door, which had been firmly held shut, was suddenly flung open from the inside. The first to rush out were the two strongest sailors on the ship, who grabbed a thick stick from who-knows-where and stabbed the nearest Metropolitan Police Department crew member flying.

The latter was caught off guard and flew directly from outside the cockpit into the fish tank in the middle section, experiencing not only pain but also a strong, nauseating fishy smell.

But it's okay, as long as the person comes out, everything is fine!

Uchimura Arita didn't know why these stubborn guys suddenly did something stupid, but that didn't stop the well-prepared crew from rushing out and subduing them with overwhelming force in just a few moves.

But surprisingly, the crew of ship 8101 did something he never expected:
Jump into the sea.

Eight people jumped into the sea in a flurry of activity, and in the blink of an eye, they instinctively found their balance and swam forward with all their might.

Both patrol boats were dumbfounded, not understanding what this operation was all about.

The nearest land is hundreds of kilometers away. Are they planning to swim there? Or will they drown?

Given the conditions at sea, without supplies, people would dehydrate and suffer from heatstroke after just an hour or two. Were they committing suicide?

But it doesn't look like it's desperately swimming outwards!
"idiot!"

Hearing the shouts of the crew members beside him, Uchimura Arita subconsciously turned his head and then looked up in the direction of their gaze.

Two SBD fighter jets are diving down at an almost vertical angle.

Those crew members with even a little military knowledge were terrified and screamed in anguish:
"The enemy plane is ascending straight up, then suddenly turns and descends!"
