Soon the convoy arrived at the port. Xiao Ran stepped out of the car and nodded slightly as he looked at the real giant cargo ship parked at the edge of the port.
This is a truly giant cargo ship, an extremely huge bulk carrier. Compared with other types of cargo ships, bulk carriers have very large internal cabins, which very much meet Xiao Ran's needs, just like the original A21 The kind of cargo ship that carries giant beasts, but this one is obviously larger.
The length alone is about 300 meters, the width is more than 60 meters, and the height of the cargo hold fully meets all the requirements for carrying AS. The entire ship does not seem to be too special from the outside, and some places look a little different. It looks a bit rusty, but after the improvements made by the Linquan family's main island and the subsequent addition of the Jiji family, the interior is actually completely different from an ordinary cargo ship.
Just from what Xiao Ran saw in the progress report, he knew that the interior of the current cabin had actually been changed into several parts. The part of the main building above the hull and the room below the main building were used to accommodate the rest of all personnel. The changes in this place were actually Also the smallest.
The biggest change is the huge cargo hold. The row of six hatches exposed above the hull have actually been transformed into six elevators to support the transportation of AS, transport helicopters and other things. Inside the cabin, there are A spacious Gnaku was currently parked with Xiao Ran's transforming fighter plane, Lang Ba's wolf-shaped fangs, three transport helicopters, and six ASs including the Demon King machine.
This Gnaku is almost the same size as the Gnaku Sons of Danu. All the things parked in it are neatly arranged vertically on both sides, occupying more than half of the space on the middle floor, and the rest of this floor The place is filled with necessary living supplies, weapons and ammunition, and other things needed for AS maintenance.
The bottom floor is also the actual cargo hold of this freighter, and is also used to place the equipment obtained during the plundering operation. However, because there is no cargo that needs to be carried, it is empty and empty.
Xiao Ran's room was arranged in the largest room in the main building of the ship. Although it was the largest room, it was actually less than twenty square meters. It should have been considered during the renovation and decoration. Because Xiao Ran was using it, everything in the room looked more gorgeous, including a TV, a dining table, a sofa, and even a bathroom for him to use.
At the same time, we also prepared some things for entertainment when we are bored on the road, such as game consoles that are unique to this country.
Compared with other situations where several people may be crowded into one room, such conditions can indeed be considered the best room.
Lin Quan Dunxin's room is next to Xiao Ran's. The twin sisters Yulan Yufang, Lang Ba and CL live in two much smaller rooms on the same floor. Although the rooms are not big, they are at least clean and tidy, almost like a hotel. It looks like a standard suite, at least it has everything.
When Xiao Ran entered his room, the entourage behind him put a box containing a change of clothes and daily necessities in the room. After leaving the room, the freighter also sounded its loud whistle and slowly left the port, starting to move slowly towards the north.
Not long after, Lin Quan Dunxin walked into the room and saw Xiao Ran standing by the bed and looking into the distance. After coughing slightly to indicate his arrival, he said: "Mr. Xiao Ran, we have set sail now, but it will take about 10 minutes to reach the northern front." It will also take ten days. In ten days, the situation may change again. Our goal this time is to plunder the required equipment, materials and personnel. Why not choose a more time-effective tool instead of a cargo ship like this? .”
Xiao Ran slowly turned around and looked at Lin Quan Dunxin. Lin Quan Dunxin had asked Xiao Ran for his opinion when the freighter was renovated. With his wisdom, it was not difficult to guess why Xiao Ran needed this freighter, and why not It really puzzled him to choose a tool that was faster, more powerful, and capable of grabbing and running like an airplane, but instead chose a cargo ship that was dangling on the ocean and seemed a bit dangerous.
The key point is that such a large ship cannot reach important targets in the interior, and even some ports cannot be entered. Even if something is grabbed, it cannot be transported to the ship quickly. In comparison, airplanes are of course much more expensive. Convenient and more secure.
However, he didn't understand Xiao Ran's real thoughts, because Xiao Ran's goal this time was not just to plunder, but to attack certain military facilities that could gain mission completion for him. If he wanted to use aircraft If used as a running tool, it would be very troublesome and not really timely.
Even at certain times, Xiao Ran still needs to wait to enter the club. For example, when dealing with Mithril, Xiao Ran must wait close enough to the target so that he can reach the target location in the shortest time and take action. .
So what Xiao Ran actually needs is a logistics base that can move freely. As a mobile base as an intermediary point, if there is the Son of Danu or a battleship, Xiao Ran will not choose such a cargo ship with no maneuverability at all. To use it as a sea base, after all, if you choose a battleship or aircraft carrier, it is too conspicuous and has no hiding ability.
Xiao Ran actually had no choice but to choose such a freighter, but after Tessa made a decision, the freighter could be thrown aside.
As for taking away the stolen things, Xiao Ran was not stupid enough to really transport those things to the ship. Instead, he would choose the nearest suitable means of transportation to transport all those things away in various bases. There is no shortage of large transport aircraft, and even if they are not available, transport helicopters can be used to replace them.
This is also the reason why Xiao Ran asked Lin Quan Dunxin to find so many people to act together. Since he can grab the goods they need, he can naturally grab the plane that transports the goods, grab a batch and transport a batch, and each batch must have at least It takes two or three people to fly the plane back. In fact, there are very few things that really need to be transported back through this ship. If it is convenient, just take it away. If it is not convenient, just grab the plane and transport it back. Xiao Ran has already known this Just think about it.
So in such an operation, a ship that can move and send them to the nearest place and start operations, a ship that serves as a logistics base, has repair and supply capabilities, is of course very important, so the ship The real responsibility is to use the base, not the transportation vehicle.
Lin Quan Dunxin raised this question, and Xiao Ran told the other party what he thought: "Actually, I don't really use this ship as a means of transportation, but more as a maritime mobile logistics base that can be abandoned at any time. Use is just an intermediate point between us and the country."
"The transport helicopter on the ship has actually served as a time-sensitive tool, which can transport our AS to where it needs to be. Of course, compared with departing from Japan, it can reach us faster only by departing from this ship. Target, the shorter the journey, the safer it will be.”
"As for the things we got, they don't actually need to be transported to this ship. Since we can rob the equipment, we can also use the enemy's tools to send them back. This ship is more like a The aircraft carriers operating overseas are just not as conspicuous as the aircraft carriers.”
Lin Quandunxin completely understood after Xiao Ran finished speaking, and also fully understood Xiao Ran's thoughts.
This ship is a frontline base, a frontline base that allows them to flexibly control the rhythm of operations. If it is just a base, then this ship can fulfill this responsibility. After all, although the aircraft carrier is good, it cannot be used. Once the aircraft carrier of one's own country The deployment will once again arouse the tense nerves of other countries.
But it would be different if it were replaced by a cargo ship. At least at first, without being exposed, the cargo ship has greater camouflage than the aircraft carrier, and it is also more convenient for them to get close to the location of the action, and then give the target the most sudden surprise. of blow.
Lin Quandun lightly slapped his palm with his fan, and then asked: "Mr. Xiao Ran, what is your first target?"
"The first target..." Xiao Ran touched his chin, turned and looked out the window, and said slowly: "Today, both the United States and the Soviet Union are completely red-eyed. Nuclear bombs will not explode in their lands. Knowing how big the consequences have been, it is not appropriate to provoke these two red-eyed countries for the time being."
"Besides, the actions against these two countries are just incidental. The main goal is to focus on amalgam and mithril. Mithril needs to wait for opportunities, but there happens to be an important amalgam stronghold on Sakhalin Island. , although it shouldn’t be an important location.”
"But there seems to be another execution force there. Maybe there's something worth seizing, so we'll just target it there first."
The execution force is the real force of Amalgam, but such an execution force is actually divided into several different teams, led by different senior officers of Amalgam. The troops of Amalgam are also the private armies of these senior officers. .
The execution force under the leadership of Gates is actually only a very small one among them. The execution force focuses on cleaning up internal traitors and only obeys the orders of Amalgam as a whole. The real execution force is much larger than Gates' execution force.
After Xiao Ran finished speaking, as if he had thought of something, he took out a disk from his pocket and threw it to Lin Quandunxin: "This contains amalgam, mithril, important facilities of the four forces of the United States, the Soviet Union, and the distribution map of the factory. Are you okay?" Might as well take a look and try to formulate a plunder plan.”
