Chapter 1849 Strong Execution

Kirovsky was once one of the port bases of the "Ladoga Fleet", so it was able to berth the "New Calypso", but now it has lost its significance as a "military port", so it has become a civilian port.

Xiao Peng got out of the car and saw Hua Chong hugging two Russian girls and taking pictures there.

What surprised Xiao Peng was that the two Russian girls were wearing bikinis.

After traveling around Russia, Xiao Peng really felt that the lifestyles of those living in the frigid and sub-frigid regions were different from his own.

It is only mid-May now, and the temperature is only around 10 degrees Celsius. Some small pieces of floating ice can still be seen on Lake Ladoga, but you can already see quite a few people sunbathing here in swimsuits!

And Xiao Peng is still wearing a woolen sweater and a coat!

Are we living on the same planet?

Although Hua Chong was wearing sunglasses, his smile was almost reaching his ears. He didn't even notice Xiao Peng and the others getting out of the car and walking towards him.

Xiao Peng winked at Kaxin and boarded the ship via the gangway. Kaxin understood and kicked Hua Chong in the buttocks from behind with light footsteps.

"Who the hell kicked me?" Hua Chong turned around and saw that it was Kaxin. He frowned and said, "Kaxin, what's wrong? Are you short of practice again?"

Kasim didn't argue with him, but just pointed to the gangway. Hua Chong then saw Xiao Peng boarding the ship there.

"The boss is back? Did he see me taking pictures here?" Hua Chong asked quickly.

Ka Xin's face was full of black lines: "Do you think the boss is blind?"

When he heard this, he quickly said goodbye to the two girls and ran onto the boat. When he arrived at the captain's room, Desarev was talking on the phone. Hua Chong waved to him as a greeting and then went into the captain's room.

Xiao Peng was chatting with Ma Xiao there. Hua Chong said excitedly, "Boss! You're back! We've been waiting for you for a long time!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "You wish I wouldn't come, right? I'm wasting your time picking up girls."

Hua Chong lit a cigarette for Xiao Peng and said, "What kind of girl are you dating? Well, I saw a girl a few days ago who was quite suitable for my taste, but she didn't shave her hair... It almost grew to her belly button, and it almost scared me to death!"

Xiao Peng's face was filled with rage. "It's just that I'm much more docile, otherwise I would have beaten you up just for that. Do you dare to be more disgusting? Okay, Ma Xiao, how was the ship's testing during this period?"

Ma Xiao replied, "Boss, this ship's marine engineering equipment hasn't been tested yet, but I think it's fine. The power of this ship is excellent; it's a classic example of a 'big horse pulling a small cart.' Furthermore, we sailed through the crushed ice in the Arctic without any issues. It's even more adaptable than the original 'Calypso'!"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked, "Where are the newcomers on board?"

Hua Chong answered this question: "Well, the newcomers are okay. Although they have no experience in salvaging sunken ships, haven't we all been here before? These people are still very capable of execution."

Ma Xiao gave Xiao Peng a thumbs-up. "Boss, I'm completely convinced by you now! The veterans on our ship have been dispersed and assigned to domestic offshore fleets. They've become the backbone of each offshore vessel, playing a role of 'old and new', increasing the overall domestic offshore engineering capacity."

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "The excellence of one ship doesn't necessarily mean leadership in an industry. Didn't Chen Zetao also transfer crew members from the offshore engineering vessel in Algeria?"

Hua Chong said, "Boss, are you really planning to sell the Luna?"

Xiao Peng nodded. "Why else would I have you here? We've already found a buyer. Chen Cheng will be the captain of the Calypso when he returns. Ma Xiao, I originally wanted to give you this job, but your experience isn't enough to handle it on your own, so you should come back and practice with me!"

Ma Xiao said, "Boss, even if you asked me to go back, I would refuse. I know my limitations. The salvage of the 'Queen's Bride Gift' was also completed under the command of Captain Chen Cheng. There's a huge gap between us."

After hearing this, Hua Chong also said, "What's there to regret about this? Boss, you don't know, our original ship 'Calypso' has long since changed its registered nationality and renamed it 'Xia Hai Lao 101'. Listen to this name! 'Calypso' still sounds better. The key is that we're all used to it!"

Xiao Peng almost laughed out loud after hearing this. This name change also has a Chinese style.

But Ma Xiao said, "Don't mention the name of the ship. What did the boss get scolded for?"

Hua Chong hurriedly said, "Ma Xiao, don't talk about this. The boss definitely doesn't know!"

Xiao Peng became interested: "Scolded? Who scolded me?"

Ma Xiao hurriedly said, "Boss, I didn't say anything."

Hua Chong also said, "That's right, Boss. You just came back. Miss Vanderlaupe has already cleaned up your room. Would you like to go and take a look first?"

After hearing this, Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Alright, tell me what's going on."

Ma Xiao and Hua Chong exchanged a glance, and finally it was Hua Chong who spoke up: "Boss, isn't our new ship registered in China and called the 'New Calypso'? After the news got out, many people scolded us for being pro-Western and using the name of a foreign goddess for a ship registered in China. They said our country also has a sea god, and asked why we don't name it something like 'Mazu', 'Dragon King', 'Yu Qiang', etc. Oh, and some people are afraid that you don't know who 'Yu Qiang' is, let me tell you, it's..."

"The grandson of the Yellow Emperor, the god of the wind and plague in the north; his father, Yuhu, is also the god of the east. The god of the south is Bu Ting Hu Yu, and the god of the west is Yan Zi. Some say she is also the mother of Fuxi and Nuwa, the wives of Suiren." Xiao Peng said calmly, "They are not the only ones who have read the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The internet is full of people like this, always trying to teach others. They don't even take a piss and look at their own level before they speak. I spent hundreds of millions to build a new ship, and I want them to worry about what I should name it? What do they know? 'Calypso' has become my byword. Look at the people in St. Petersburg who knew I was coming as soon as this ship appeared! That's why I don't go online. The internet is full of people who hold themselves to the standards of a scumbag and others to the standards of a saint. Talking to them? I'm not interested! Otherwise, I wouldn't even be live streaming now."

After hearing what he said, Ma Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Boss, you really have to broadcast it live this time. It's in collaboration with the Russians. They want to take advantage of our salvage to carry out patriotic education."

"How the hell didn't I know about this?" Xiao Peng cursed.

Just as Ma Xiao was about to explain what was going on, Desalev knocked on the door and walked into the captain's room: "Mr. Xiao, your guess is right."

"Ah?" Xiao Peng was stunned: "What did I guess?"

"The Swedes have asked us to ban the salvage of shipwrecks in Lake Ladoga!" Desarev replied.
