What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 399 Necessary Reasons

"From this wall to that warehouse, it's all gang territory."

Following the direction Chen Ming pointed, Tang Wen nodded repeatedly. Such a large dock, once renovated, would be perfect for a branch campus, and there would be no problem berthing cruisers.

As Chen Ming listened to Tang Wen's plans for the future renovation, he mentally gave him a thumbs up.

He had previously thought this guy was bragging when he heard him say he was going to pull all the local communities into oil drilling, but yesterday the Greater Bay Area announced that it would send two newly built cruisers to Hong Kong to sell tickets.

This is indeed true. However, after the two ships docked, nearly 700 crew members disembarked, loaded onto trucks, and disappeared like hungry tigers pouncing on a flock of sheep. After that, group after group of students were brought in to enroll.

If they were just street thugs, that would be one thing, but even many powerful and troublesome gangs were suddenly dismantled and disappeared overnight.

Chen Ming knew that those people had plenty of weapons, including military weapons that had been smuggled in, and he was worried about them at one point.

However, when a ten-wheeled truck sped by and inadvertently revealed the neck of a pheasant under the tarpaulin, he understood what overwhelming advantage meant.

The trainees from the first training course are very experienced. They can tell who is involved in gangs just by looking at them on the street. They can catch them one by one and then follow the clues to find out who can escape.

The key issue is that the local media was also in turmoil at this time. After Gaijin recharged his account, he praised the benefits of the Greater Bay Area Vocational Training School in the newspapers, and many parents of delinquent teenagers went on television crying and talking about their children's rebelliousness.

After Tang Wen and A Sheng finished explaining the modification plan, another fully loaded ten-wheeled truck drove up, but stopped and took out an old man in a suit from the back.

"Boss, this guy is some kind of Hung Hing boss, he says he wants to see you."

The listless old man perked up instantly upon seeing Tang Wen and shouted loudly:

"You, surnamed Tang, do you think we're just a gang? There are people behind every name and surname. You're not the first person to try to establish yourself here, but from today onwards, you'll be surrounded by enemies and unable to do anything!"

Tang Wen stared at him expressionlessly:
"I'd like to know who's backing you up. Tell me."

The old man choked on his words. If he were to reveal them, it might bring disaster upon his family. He could only say in a sinister tone:
"Aren't you afraid of bringing Ying? All the money we've earned over the years has gone to those foreigners. If they hate you, you can't afford it."

"They have plenty of reasons to hate me."

Tang Wen thought that Giant Fisheries' dozens of fishing boats should have already circled around to Europe and were about to launch a super-large operation. He estimated that Dai Ying would be eager to bite him to death.

"Alright, sir... if you have a degree, go learn a skill; if you don't, go back to cleaning decks."

Although the old man was still shouting unwillingly, he still couldn't escape the fate of being taken away.

"You've chosen a good time. People in Hong Kong are restless right now. Taking Ying away will leave a power vacuum. Otherwise, such a reckless move would be met with resistance."

After watching the TV report about the training school, Zhao Hande turned around and wanted to give the person in charge a warning.

"And with so many people, can you really manage them all?"

"Of course we can manage it."

Tang Wen wasn't worried at all. He actually planned to hand over some of the difficult leaders to Wang Hu and scatter them to Southeast Asia.
The vast majority of the club members are from the lower class, and their lives are even worse than those of ordinary people. If you teach them with care, there should be no problem.

Zhao Hande didn't continue, and it was a good thing that the training class opened a branch in Hong Kong.

"There's also a piece of information about Yamato that's already been sent out. Do you think there's a high chance the Japanese will accept it?"

Tang Wen did not answer immediately, thinking that this question must have been discussed many times by experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and was definitely more reliable than his own guess.

After thinking for a while, he said:
"It's not too big. Having more battleships is not just icing on the cake, but it's not a necessity either."

"However, the Empire doesn't want to take too much risk itself, so it wants someone to share the losses." Zhao Hande: "Right, there's no compelling reason yet. Although there's a high level of public interest in Japan, the probability of them actually spending real money to buy ships is low, since the capital involved is substantial."

"Then give them the necessary reason."

Tang Wen glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost the fourth night in Nanmei.

The weather forecast remains unchanged; a strong storm will create an excellent opportunity at this time tomorrow.

If handled properly, this could become a necessary reason.

……

The Enterprise and Clemenceau passed through the two nights unharmed.

Marcel even had the Clemenceau fleet enter port for rest and repairs. The Clemenceau was already nearing its decommissioning, and its forced deployment meant that preparations in many places were inadequate, requiring it to dock for replenishment.

Only Fern still insisted that the Enterprise maintain a distance of more than 200 kilometers and keep its air defense formation in place.

Two carrier strike groups, one with a Perry-class frigate and the other with a Toulouse-class destroyer, are waiting at the mouth of the Amazon River.

"It is going to rain."

Marcel grasped at the moist air:
"Since they haven't been deployed for two consecutive days, it means that once they take off, they will be detected. We can confirm that they are in this rainforest."

We just need to keep a close watch and wait for the ground troops to arrive and search. The air force can monitor them 24 hours a day, so they can't escape.

There are widespread storms expected tonight and tomorrow. Is the Enterprise really not going to dock?

Fern: "I'd rather get out of the storm's path beforehand, and it's just bad weather, not a typhoon."

Despite this, Fern quickly ordered Calvin to recover the carrier-based aircraft formation and prepare to direct the fleet to move another 150 kilometers northeast out to sea, to the edge of the bad weather zone.

Flight issues are not a major concern, since the flight altitude is above the clouds and radar can detect cloud formations. However, they can seriously affect takeoff and landing safety.

Keep your distance and shrink your formation, focus on air defense and stay huddled together for one night.

He had also considered the possibility of an attack:

Even if the Second Fleet is fearless, it can't defy the physical laws of the turbulent sea, can it? Let alone 5 meters, there's a risk of being hit by waves even at a height of 15 meters.

Jet engines can ingest water, but doing so in heavy rain will at least have a 50% chance of stalling, and mosquitoes are single-engine aircraft!

If low-altitude tactics fail, then when it comes to attacking gnats, they can only fly at low to medium altitudes. Although Arleigh Burke's radar will also be affected, it will still have at least 70% or 80% of the effective range, which will be a good opportunity for them to see what Aegis is all about.

Moreover, he had already learned his lesson this time, and the fleet practiced radio silence for the first two nights.

The terrible weather, coupled with radio silence, made it difficult even for modern radar to pinpoint the exact location; satellites couldn't see it either!

Fern carefully reviewed all the arrangements and ultimately concluded that there were no loopholes.

At dawn on July 4, Beijing time (afternoon of July 3 local time), the Enterprise carrier strike group recalled all its aircraft, controlled radio communications, and regrouped the fleet to move out to sea.

Meanwhile, the second U69, which had been lying motionless on the seabed for several days, extended its periscope to record its direction of movement and informed the third U69, which was more than 200 kilometers away, without delay. After calculation, the third U69 changed its course and prepared to intercept and track it.

Several U69s, with their unimaginable underwater instantaneous communication capabilities, accomplished the almost impossible feat of tracking a powerful aircraft carrier battle group.
