That evening, the county reported to the district, and the district reported to the province.
But the suggestion put forward by Lin Sanqi was too scary, so the province reported it directly to the Central Military Commission, and then the head of the General Logistics Department, Leader Jing, personally flew to Bao'an County on a military aircraft.
The morning of the third day.
Lin Sanqi had already changed into his two-bar, three-star military uniform and was leading a group of uniformed leaders to inspect Yantian Port...
Oh no, there was no Yantian Port at that time, and it should be called Sanzhoutian Commune. Everyone took the map and started to study it.
Lin Sanqi pointed to the coastline and explained:
"Boss, look, this location is only about 5 kilometers away from the Lizhi Wo Resort I purchased. My modified speedboat can travel from Lizhi Wo to this location in just 3 minutes one way. I tried it several times tonight, and the time is accurate."
When they heard that a 5-kilometer journey could be completed in 3 minutes, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Leader Jing smiled and said:
"Three minutes? I can't even imagine it. Friends from Hong Kong drive their small fishing boats to our side, and it takes at least half an hour to cover 5 kilometers. It's too slow, which is why we're often caught by Hong Kong Coast Guard."
Lin Sanqi knew that smuggling between Hong Kong and the mainland was ongoing, so he was quite curious.
"Leader, which way did Mr. Huo take to transport supplies to the mainland?"
There is a land connection between Hong Kong and the mainland, which is the Luohu Port.
There are bays on both sides, Mashi Bay (Dapeng Bay) in the east and Houhai Bay (Shenzhen Bay) in the west. Maritime smuggling can only be done by choosing one of the two.
Leader Jing did not hide anything and told everything he knew:
"They usually go through Deep Bay. The waves there are smaller, and the distance between the two places is closer, making it convenient for small boats to transport supplies. The waves in Mashi Bay you're seeing now are high and the wind is strong. I heard that illegal immigrants don't want to use this waters."
There is a mangrove forest in Bao'an County, which is actually a tropical rainforest.
The small boat went into the mangroves, one reason being that it was easier to hide, and the other reason was that the patrol boats from the Hong Kong River could not approach the shore because it was all mudflats.
Of course, this mangrove forest has another famous place. It is the starting point for countless people to swim across the sea when fleeing to Hong Kong. It is a heartbreaking place.
Decades later, it became a seaside park.
Parents are not allowed to beat their children in Hong Kong. In order to teach their disobedient children a lesson, many Hong Kong parents drive to Shenzhen. After crossing the border, their first stop is Mangrove Park, where they start beating their children.
Then this place became a heartbreaking place for countless Hong Kong children.
Lin Sanqi led everyone to his "Dafei".
Seeing such a novel speedboat for the first time, everyone climbed on it curiously, especially when they saw the nine small engines, everyone had exaggerated expressions.
Leader Jing was also very curious and pointed at several large screens and asked:
"Comrade Sanqi, what are these? Why haven't I seen them before?"
Lin Sanqi introduced: "Leader, the middle one is the operating screen, which will display some speedboat data, such as fuel level, power level, speed, etc. These two are radar display screens.
For example, this one can display targets within a 10-kilometer radius above the sea surface, whether it is a ship or an island. This one shows underwater reefs or obstacles to prevent grounding or collision.
In addition, this speedboat has an automatic collision avoidance function, which can predict obstacles in advance and avoid them in time. This is why I can ensure safety when driving at high speeds. Otherwise, there are too many islands on this side of the Hong Kong River and I can't speed up at all."
When Leader Jing heard this, he was secretly surprised. He thought to himself, even a small smuggling speedboat is equipped with radar. Isn't this technology too advanced?
"Comrade Sanqi, what's the fastest speed this speedboat can reach?"
"It can reach a maximum speed of 70 mph, which is about 120 kilometers per hour."
"Wow~~~" There was another burst of exclamations from all around.
"What about the load capacity?"
"It's easy to transport 5 to 10 tons of supplies at a time, or 10 to 30 people at a time. There is also a larger aircraft with a maximum load capacity of 30 tons."
An officer shouted excitedly:
"It's amazing! With this speed and this cargo capacity, it's so convenient for us to trade with Hong Kong. We don't have to worry about being blackmailed by the coast guard."
"Colonel Lin, can you give it a try?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled:
"You can try it, but it's best to try it at night. It's too conspicuous during the day. Or we can try it in other waters, at least so that we can't be seen by the Hong Kong Coast Guard on the other side. That way, we lose the mystery and can't catch them off guard."
Leader Jing looked at the territory on the other side of the Xiangjiang River and said that it was a group of islands, but in fact it was like a mountain.
"Comrade Sanqi, where is that in the New Territories?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head:
"I don't know the details, but according to their zoning map, it's called the 'North District'. The resort hotel I bought is right there, but it's not visible to the naked eye now."
Lin Sanqi pointed to a concave gap on the map and said.
"Leader, here's what I'm thinking: Can we build a few warehouses here (Sanzhoutian Commune)? I'll then get a few more speedboats to facilitate our purchases of supplies from Xiangjiang. What do you think of this suggestion?"
Leader Jing looked up at the sea and the island, then at the map and shook his head:
"Your suggestion is very good. With this kind of high-speed speedboat, the Hong Kong Coast Guard ships will not be able to catch up with us. However, if the warehouse is located in Sanzhoutian Commune (Yantian Port), it would not be a wise choice."
Lin Sanqi was somewhat discouraged and asked in confusion:
"Why isn't this place suitable? This is obviously the closest area to Lizhi Wo, and it only takes 3 minutes to get there."
Leader Jing chuckled, asked Lin Sanqi to stand next to him, and pointed at the map.
"The sea area in front of us is called Shatoujiao Sea, right? Although the distance between the two places is too short, if you look at the sea surface, there are islands everywhere. The route cannot be straightened, so the speed advantage of your big plane cannot be fully utilized.
And look again, Sha Tau Kok Sea is a dead end on the west side, and there are many small islands on the east side. People will tolerate if you take a big flight once or twice, but if you smuggle on a large scale, the Hong Kong Eagle government will definitely find a way to catch you.
"At that time, they only need to deploy a few warships between these islands, and they will be able to catch the tortoise in the jar. When they aim and fire at you, your big plane will most likely not be able to escape. Which is faster, the cannonball or the big plane?"
Hehehe~~~
The green uniforms around him all laughed.
Lin Sanqi is a professional in smuggling.
When it comes to fighting, Lin Sanqi is a layman among laymen.
When fighting a war, the most important common sense for a commander is the choice of strategic locations. Standing on the beach of Sanzhoutian Commune, Leader Jing could actually see the disadvantages of this place at a glance.
Lin Sanqi knew that he had made a fool of himself, so he could only laugh foolishly.
Leader Jing looked at a young officer from the Dongguang Military Region next to him and said:
"Xiao Han, come and talk to Comrade Sanqi. If you were given a choice, which place would you choose as a warehouse transfer station? It would allow you to take advantage of Dafei's strengths while making it difficult for the Hong Kong Eagle Coast Guard to capture you."
When Han Lin heard his superior calling his name, he immediately stood up. Lin Sanqi took a look and saw two bars and two stars on his shoulders, which was one level lower than his.
"Reporting to the commander, I think we can choose Tung Ping Chau Island."
After saying that, Han Lin pointed to a small island east of Dapeng Bay, just east of Litchi Wo.
Leader Jing also became interested. This feeling was just like when he was playing out the battle situation on the sand table.
"Then tell me, why did we choose this Dongpingzhou Island?"
"Yes. Firstly, the straight-line distance between Tung Ping Chau Island and Lai Chi Wo is 16 kilometres. At a speed of 120 kilometres per hour, it only takes eight minutes to reach the island. For maritime transport, eight minutes is a significant time advantage.
Moreover, the dividing line between the mainland and the Hong Kong River is at this location, which means that the big plane can cross the center line in just 4 minutes, and the Hong Kong Eagle patrol boat cannot cross the border.
Also, there are no small islands or reefs in this area, which is very beneficial to Dafei's speed advantage. We can increase our speed to the maximum, fly close to the sea surface, and arrive at the fastest speed."
Leader Jing and several local Dongguan military officers nodded, obviously approving of this choice.
Lieutenant Colonel Han continued:
"Because of Tung Ping Chau's strategic location, there are no villagers living on the island, which facilitates secrecy. Furthermore, there is a naturally formed cave on Tung Ping Chau. After we renovated it, ships can sail directly into the cave, making it very concealed." (End of this chapter)
