Chapter 1856 I am going to make preparations in advance
This hotel is not a luxury hotel. Although Xiao Peng and his friends are staying in a 'superior room', it can basically be understood as a double room with a living room.
Xiao Peng wanted to play two more games with them, but someone came to him directly.
It was Desarev and several Russians who came.
Desarev's first reaction after seeing Xiao Peng was to almost cry.
Although he had experienced Xiao Peng's willfulness, Xiao Peng's behavior this time once again refreshed his understanding of "willfulness": such a big thing as cooperation between the two countries, he just ran away like that?
Just leave a message asking the people from the lake area management office to cooperate with the salvage operation, let them prepare for a week and then disappear?
Desalev looked at Xiao Peng with a look of resentment. "Mr. Xiao, where have you been again? You're such a great game of hide-and-seek! The Russian FSB and the Ministry of Internal Affairs worked together, but we couldn't find you! You're incredible, aren't you?"
Xiao Peng didn't feel like he had done anything wrong. "Didn't I tell you guys at the Lake District Management Office I'd give them a week to prepare? There's still one day left, right? Are you ready?"
Desaryev hurriedly introduced, "Mr. Xiao, this is Ms. Yanina Smolnikova from the Lake District Management Office. She is responsible for the management of the entire Lake Ladoga."
She was a woman in her fifties, not tall and a little plump. She looked very capable in a gray suit.
After hearing Desarev's introduction, Yanina Smolnikova extended her hand to Xiao Peng and said, "Mr. Xiao, I've been in contact with Mr. Ma and Mr. Hua recently. This is my first time meeting you."
"Hello, Ms. Smolnikova." Xiao Peng shook her hand directly and generously. "I've been busy with some things recently. Is everything I asked Ma Xiao to inform you ready?"
"We have prepared as best as we can, but now there is a problem," Smolnikova said.
"What's the problem?" Xiao Peng asked.
Smolnikova explained: "There are no large offshore vessels in the Lake Ladoga region, including in St. Petersburg. We are too late to find a suitable offshore vessel if we want to rent one now. We only have a 2,000-ton multi-purpose work vessel, two barges, and four small tugboats to work with. The multi-purpose work vessel has a 500-meter ROV with a small manipulator arm. Is this a suitable combination?"
"Of course!" Xiao Peng replied, "Since you're all prepared, let's just get started tomorrow. It's such a simple thing. You're so frightened over such a small matter that you're running here in a panic. Desarev, can you please be more capable?"
Desarev opened his mouth to curse, but he held back the curse words even as they were on the tip of his tongue: "Who the hell knows if you can come back in seven days? What if they prepare everything and you don't come back?"
But no matter what, they felt much more relieved after hearing what Xiao Peng said: It seems that there will be no problem with the salvage tomorrow.
But he was still a little worried: "Mr. Xiao, there is one more thing I want to remind you."
"What's the matter?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.
Desarev said: "If you find anything during the salvage work, please inform us, because this time the Russian Red Star TV will broadcast the news live with you."
Kashin was a little confused after listening to this: "Desalev, which TV station are you talking about?"
"Red Star TV," Desarev replied.
Xiao Peng was also amused: "Oh my god, you guys really take this seriously. The problem is that it's being broadcast live on Red Star TV... Is this reliable?"
What is Red Star TV? It is Russia's only official military TV station, affiliated with the Ministry of Defense. Its purpose is to showcase Russia's armed forces to the nation and the world.
What are the reporters and hosts at Red Star TV famous for? Hardcore!
The principle they believe in is: if your photos are not good enough, it's because you are not standing close enough.
As the Ministry of National Defense's television station, they can interview any military unit they want and use any equipment they want. Why are Red Star TV's hosts considered hardcore? Basically, there's nothing they can't handle, except nuclear bombs!
On their shows, reporters firing guns and cannons themselves was child's play. They'd even climb onto a Tu-160 bomber and play with its bombs. They were accustomed to the roar of artillery fire; it was part of their lives.
Desaryev asked in confusion, "Mr. Xiao, what's so unreliable about this?"
Xiao Peng said, "Of course it's unreliable. Red Star TV is the Ministry of National Defense's TV station, right? But our shipwreck salvage has nothing to do with the Ministry of National Defense, right?"
Desaryev explained, "Mr. Xiao, think about who contacted you about this job? Everything we salvaged is related to the Soviet Army in World War II, so of course the Ministry of National Defense will be involved in the coverage! Red Star TV's ace reporter Victoria Kosogliatenko has been waiting for you aboard the New Calypso for a long time."
Xiao Peng said bluntly, "Then she really waited for me in vain. We won't be using the 'New Calypso' for this salvage operation. This time, the Russians will handle everything. Your people, your ship. I'm just providing advice. This will better suit the purpose of this salvage operation. Ms. Smolnikova, what do you think of my suggestions?"
Smolnikova was a little tempted, but still worried: "Can our equipment salvage the fish? The equipment in our lake management office is more than ten years old."
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Just trust me. Lake Ladoga is too shallow, and there's no difficulty in salvaging fish at this time of year."
"I have another question," Smolnikova asked. "How long will it take you to find the salvage target? How long do we have to wait now that we are ready?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "We can salvage it at any time."
"What?" Smolnikova and Desarev exclaimed together.
Desarev quickly asked, "Do you already have a salvage target?"
Xiao Peng nodded and said, "That's a must!"
Smolnikova exclaimed, "The Salvage King is worthy of being called the Salvage King! We thought you would need some time to search for the salvage target!"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "There's so much to salvage in Lake Ladoga. We'll start tomorrow and I guarantee you'll have a good harvest."
"I'm really looking forward to it!" said Smolnikova.
Desaryev coughed twice and asked, "Mr. Xiao, you won't leave suddenly again this time, right?"
Xiao Peng pointed at Ka Xin and said, "If I run away, you can put Ka Xin in jail!"
Kasim: “…”
What the hell does this have to do with me?
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "Alright, Desarev, I haven't done anything else these days except looking up information about Lake Ladoga. Now that I've finished my research, I'm naturally not going anywhere."
Desarev was about to give a few more instructions when Bruch walked in: "Boss, Ma Xiao is here with a few people."
