Chapter 352: The Little Days Have Arrived
Upon hearing that there was one million dollars, Audrey fell silent.
That's a million dollars! He simply didn't have the courage to refuse.
But Princess Anne is here. What should she do when she goes back and tells the Queen?
The Queen clearly stated it was a loan, yet you accepted her money.
Princess Anne smiled and said, "Commander, since Mr. Chen is willing to give it, please accept it!"
Princess Anne knew that Old Murdoch had plenty of money. She just wanted to get this done as quickly as possible.
Upon hearing the princess's words, Audrey immediately seized the opportunity, saying, "Alright, since Princess Anne has said so, and Mr. Chen insists on giving it to me, then I'll reluctantly accept it. Let's have a pleasant cooperation."
Audrey stood up and extended his hand. These foreigners, having been here for a while, had learned to adapt to local customs.
Old Mo also stood up and reached out to shake hands with him.
The deal is done. But the ship can't be handed over to Old Mo yet.
This is a warship after all, and a lot of things need to be unloaded. Including things like the cannonballs, everything needs to be unloaded.
Otherwise, if Old Murdoch really had a few sex with someone, they would lose a million dollars.
It will take at least a few days.
After returning, Lao Mo immediately found Lei Luo and Wu Shih-hao and asked them to help find the sailors and the pilot.
When Lao Mo got home, he immediately called Xu Lao.
"Mr. Xu, I'm sorry! There's something I need to tell you about, it's about the ship. I've just realized that ships that can transport airplanes are hard to find! You can't buy them even if you have the money."
So, I borrowed one from the Hong Kong Navy, and therefore, I can't give you this ship. I'll definitely get you a few more when the opportunity arises.”
Upon hearing this, Old Xu, though feeling regretful, happily replied, "It's alright, as long as there's a plane. When will things be sorted out on your end?"
"It will probably take another two weeks or so. I'll call you before we leave. I'll also personally escort the ship there."
Old Mo asked for a relaxed amount of time.
Upon hearing this, Old Xu was immediately delighted.
"Okay. Haha, if that's the case, I'll go pick up the ship myself. It's been so long since we've seen each other! No matter what, we have to meet! Sigh, as people get older, every meeting is one less we can see!"
Old Xu said with emotion.
Upon hearing this, Lao Mo quickly asked, "Old Xu, is there something wrong with your health?"
Old Xu said helplessly, "It's nothing serious, that's just how it is for old people."
Old Mo laughed and said, "Haha, if that's the case, you must come to pick up the ship then. I'll give you a treasure. Drinking it will allow you to live for decades more."
Old Xu is currently around sixty years old. If the spiritual spring water can improve his health and cure his illness, he should be able to live to be a hundred years old without any problems.
"Oh?"
Old Xu asked in disbelief, "You have such a treasure?"
Old Mo had personally experienced drinking the spiritual spring water, and he spoke frankly: "It really does! Not only can it cure all your ailments, but it can also make you twenty years younger. I've tried it myself, so tell me, do you want some?"
"Yes. Of course I'll take it. Old Mo, if that's the case, you'll be my second parents! Hahahaha..."
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.
Unbeknownst to Lao Mo, his home phone had been tapped by spies from Xiao Rizi.
Their conversation was overheard by Xiao Rizi's spy.
It took Lei Luo five whole days to finally gather the manpower for Lao Mo. People who can operate warships are indeed hard to find.
Lei Luo couldn't find one either, but he found a captain who knew how to sail a large ship.
Old Mo's requirements weren't high; he just wanted the boat to get going.
The warship was sailed back to Tsuen Wan Pier. Old Mo wanted to let the captains and sailors go back and rest for a day.
That evening, he came to the ship, intending to release the six passenger planes inside.
However, despite its large size, the warship can only accommodate five passenger planes at most.
There's no way around it, passenger planes are just too big. They're nothing like fighter jets.
In the end, Old Mo had no choice but to keep one. Keeping one in the space to use as a dwelling wouldn't be bad.
With a little renovation, if you ever want to spend the night in this space, you'll have a room, a bed, and even a kitchen.
Most importantly, there is electricity.
Old Mo took the prepared tarpaulin out of his storage space again. He wanted to cover the plane with it by himself, but found it difficult.
I'm someone who has space, can't I even cover a tarpaulin with something?
Old Mo thought for a moment, and then he had an idea.
He put the tarpaulin back into his spatial storage, and with a thought, the tarpaulin opened up again within the storage space.
Then, it was placed directly on top of the plane. The tarpaulin appeared on top of the plane and slowly descended, covering the plane.
Hey, I'm a genius.
Old Mo, could you please tie the ropes up so the tarpaulin won't be blown away by the sea breeze?
He was busy until midnight. Old Mo wasn't tired or sleepy; when he felt tired, he just needed a sip of the spiritual spring water.
The next morning, all the sailors and captains came over.
Old Mo also brought Xu Damao along. Yes, he planned to take Xu Damao back to get acquainted with the leaders on the other side.
When the time comes, if there are any issues to discuss, just leave it to Xu Damao.
The warships began to make their horn-like sounds, slowly leaving the dock and heading inland.
This time, they didn't go through Deep Bay. Because there were no deep-water docks there, the warships couldn't get close to the shore at all.
Therefore, they had to go to the deep sea to reach the Shenzhen port.
What Lao Mo didn't know was that the two patrol ships from the previous day were already waiting there.
In this era before radar, with the endorsement of the US, our patrol ships really dared to come here.
On a patrol ship, Colonel Honda Ichiro, a young man, was looking through binoculars at the warships that were slowly appearing ahead.
As soon as he saw it actually appear, Honda Ichiro's gaze immediately became fixed on it.
"Hiss..."
"That thing on the deck really does look like an airplane. Take a close look, isn't it?"
Honda Ichiro reminded the officer next to him.
The officers, holding binoculars, also began to observe intently.
Closer and closer, ever closer.
Although they couldn't see the fuselage, they did see the wheels.
"That's right, it's an airplane, very likely the one that the US lost."
"Didn't the Americans say they lost six planes? How come there are only five?"
"Isn't this normal? It's not just us who do this kind of exaggeration; the Americans do it too."
Several officers started talking without any restraint.
"Quickly, send a telegram to the Americans and tell them that their passenger plane has been found."
Honda Ichiro immediately returned to his cabin and personally sent a telegram to Old Mi.
Their two patrol ships sped up and went to meet them.
