Starting from Gangcheng, the journey was smooth. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it took about half a month for a steam freighter to travel from Gangcheng to Shanghai, a distance of 1,500 kilometers. In the 21st century, it takes about 3 days for a freighter to travel more than 1,500 kilometers. Su Nuan took the Smith family's freighter, which is the most technologically advanced freighter on the market. It took about a week to reach Shanghai.
A week on the ship was commonplace for the Jiaolong detachment. The Cheetah Special Forces, as they were all military personnel, had good physical fitness and were not affected much. However, the spoiled Su Nuan and the older Su Mei suffered a bit. A few hours after the freighter set sail, they both showed signs of seasickness. On the contrary, the 5-year-old Chen Yuanyuan was in high spirits all the way. It was her first time to ride on a big ship. She was very excited and curious, but she was also very well-behaved. She did not wander around. Seeing that her grandmother was unwell and her mother had to take care of her sister Su Nuan and grandmother, she followed her mother obediently.
The two people who suffered from seasickness were more seriously ill in the first two days after sailing. They vomited and fell asleep all the way. After their bodies adapted for two days and recovered, they were fine. The journey was safe and nothing happened. Soon a week passed and the cargo ship was about to arrive in Shanghai.
Looking at the Shanghai Port right in front of them, several people stood on the deck of the cargo ship and looked at Su Mei. She felt a little homesick. She had been away for more than ten years. When she thought of the cruel scenes during the movement, she was still frightened. She missed and was afraid of Shanghai. Now that she was really back, her mood was still very complicated.
The freighter docked at the pier very quickly. Due to the special nature of the freighter that Su Nuan and his crew were transporting, the pier was now under full martial law by the military. Soldiers were guarding the area around the pier, and government officials and high-ranking officials from the Shanghai Military Region were standing at the pier to greet them.
Su Nuan, Gu Chengfeng and Li Weimin got off the boat first and greeted the waiting government and military officials.
Gu Chengfeng and Li Weimin first reported to Lu Ming, commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Military Region.
The two stood still and saluted, "Report to the commander, the mission has been successfully completed."
Lu Ming responded, "Well done, you two brats," and patted their shoulders.
Then he said to Li Weimin, "Take your team and talk to Mayor Wang later to coordinate the supplies."
“Yes, I will complete the task.”
Looking at Gu Chengfeng, "You kid, after going out, you have become a decent person."
Gu Chengfeng was a little embarrassed
On the other side, Su Nuan has already met Shanghai Mayor Wang Hongwei.
"Hello, Comrade Su Nuan, I am the mayor of Shanghai, Wang Hongwei. I believe Qin Feng has mentioned me to you."
"Hello, Mayor Wang, I've heard a lot about you, but seeing is believing."
The two smiled at each other, shook hands and exchanged greetings
"Comrade Su Nuan, although you were born and raised in Country Y, you speak Chinese quite well."
"Mayor Wang, thank you for your compliment. My grandfather taught me since I was a child that we are Chinese. Even if we are in a foreign country, we must not forget our roots. Su Nuan has always remembered this and has never slacked off in studying Chinese culture."
Wang Hongwei, very pleased
"Mr. Su, you have a sincere heart for the motherland. The country will always remember you. On behalf of the country and the people of Shanghai, I am very grateful for the generosity of the Su family."
"Mayor Wang, you're too kind. This is my duty as a Chinese citizen. No need to thank me."
While the two were talking, the commander of the Shanghai Military Region, Lu Ming, walked forward to greet Su Nuan.
"Comrade Su Nuan, hello. I'm Lu Ming, the commander of the Shanghai Military Region. Thank you very much. The weapons you brought back this time will be of great help to our military region's weapons research."
Su Nuan gestured slightly and said with a smile, "Commander Lu, there is no need for this. I am just coordinating. The righteousness still belongs to those heroes."
"Hey, your coordination is very important. Our military region is grateful for your help. I, Lu Ming, am a rough man. In the future, if Comrade Su Nuan needs our military region, please let us know. Our military region will do its best to help."
"Thank you, Commander Lu, for your kindness."
"My two leaders, my mission has been completed. Comrade Li Weimin knows the general inventory of supplies. Now I will retire."
Wang Hongwei: "Comrade Su Nuan, you must be tired from the journey. We have arranged a room for you at the Shanghai Hotel. Someone will take you there to rest. If you have any questions, please go directly to the government building and find me."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Su Nuan took Su Mei and the other two and saluted, preparing to get in the car. Before getting in, Su Nuan and Gu Chengfeng made eye contact, and the two nodded, then got in the car and left.
"You really can't bear to leave," Li Weimin joked.
"Go to hell, go do your thing"
The two of them quickly joined the busy team.
