The Red Alert Begins in the Wasteland

Vol 3 Chapter 1145: Umm Qasr Military Port

Umm Qasr military port, the largest deep-water port in the Persian Gulf developed by Mirae Technology Group from the Iraqi government.

Once the largest naval port in the entire Persian Gulf was the U.S. Fifth Fleet’s naval port in Bahrain. Since the Future Technology Group purchased the entire Umm Qasr port, which was originally just a small port, it has undergone a two-year large-scale transformation and expansion. U-shaped bay, with the addition of underwater breakwaters, and the deployment of security surveillance sonar and underwater anti-infiltration nets, it seems to be the Bahrain military port with the largest scale in the Persian Gulf and no less than the safety factor of the Fifth Fleet of the US Navy. .

Many Iraqis who originally lived in Umm Qasr have all been moved to the new Umm Qasr city, and all places near the military port and coastal areas have become large industrial bases.

At the same time, because of its natural terrain, it is located on the edge of the Persian Gulf. Compared to Basra, which requires a long waterway to enter, it also has the largest port in Iraq at present, and countless cargo ships stop here every day.

On the sea, you can see dozens of hundreds of large cargo ships lining up to enter the port on the sea every day.

Because of the Iraqi government’s tax exemption policy for the Future Technology Group, these cargo ships transporting various ores or other things to the Future Technology Group only need to pay a small amount of tax before entering the port. For all goods shipped to the Future Technology Group, Almost all are exempt from inspection.

This makes the operation of the port very efficient, and the daily throughput of the Umm Qasr port is also kept in efficient operation.

The difference between the port is that the military port next to the international port is much deserted every day.

Because the naval port here is really too large, and there are often only one or two warships inside. Occasionally there will be warships of the Iraqi navy coming to stay here for a few days, but they are also powerful immediately.

On the edge of the military port. It is a specially constructed naval commercial residential area, and there are two large-scale airports nearby. One seems to be still under construction, and the other is the largest airfield in the south where the Iraqi Air Force is stationed. It is a combat sequence of naval aviation.

On the side, there is the second largest shipyard in Iraq for the future shipbuilding industry. The large-scale factory buildings occupy the other side of the U-shaped Gulf, covering an area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers, which is the second largest in the entire Middle East. Shipyard. It is second only to the largest shipyard in Basra, which belongs to the future shipbuilding industry.

It’s just that the shipyard here is not like all shipyards in the world. The upper part is open to the outside world. It is more like a fully enclosed dry dock construction method. Not only is it surrounded by heavy iron workshops. , The gates on both sides will only be opened briefly when the ship is launched. Once the ship is transferred from the shipyard through the guide rail, the gate will be closed again.

Even so far, no one has seen what the shipyard inside looks like. There are also rumors outside.

Because even if some things are concealed, they cannot be concealed, one of the time when the ship was built. The efficiency is very high.

People who are interested in the shipyard’s efficiency in building merchant ships have obtained a unified data. For the future shipbuilding industry, a freighter of 100,000 tons can be launched in one month, and many equipment are also available. After outfitting in the dry dock, it can be used within forty days.

So efficient. Even the shipbuilding industry with extremely high efficiency in the United States is far from it.

And some people also found out. These shipyards are all exactly the same size, and many of them still have no ships out.

Some people have been joking about this. There must be a warship being built, and it is still a large warship. After all, the ship building technology owned by the Future Technology Group is also quite advanced.

One shot is a variety of warship types, ranging from advanced destroyers of more than 6,000 tons to various small guided missile boats, coastal defense ships, and coastal police ships.

And every type of warship is very advanced. Although the Iraqi Navy is very low-key, the US Navy, which has been cooperating with the Future Technology Group Navy, is repeatedly praised.

Many U.S. Navy officers who have boarded the warships of the Future Science and Technology Group have praised such warships, and almost none of them are bad.

It’s just that the Future Technology Group has rarely sold warships to the outside world. Otherwise, many interested countries would have already started.

Of course, there may also be US relations in it, or it may be that the Future Technology Group really does not intend to sell warships.

Only today, an unexpected visitor broke the calm here. In the waters outside Umm Qasr, on dozens of cargo ships flying the flags of various countries, many seafarers were on the cargo ships. The fleet anchored at sea pointed.

Especially for the bright red flag hanging on the fleet, there is a special freshness.

On many merchant ships, several large cargo ships from their hometowns, all the crew members were cheering non-stop: "This is our fleet..."

Seafarers from other countries were also a little shocked. After all, there were more than 20 large surface warships suddenly appearing, all of which belonged to China. This was definitely the first time they saw them.

Not to mention them, even the old family members have seen it for the first time. The most important thing is that this is the Middle East ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ far away from the Far East or such a sensitive area in the Persian Gulf.

Although they don't know what the huge fleet in their hometown is doing here, for these ordinary seafarers, all they have to do now is to take pictures with their cameras.

Then the Iraqi navy appeared and greeted a 052d destroyer flying the command flag and two frigates into the Umm Qasr military port.

The Iraqi navy is based in Basra, and it seems strange to welcome the navy from its hometown to Umm Qasr, a military port belonging to the Future Technology Group.

But soon, everyone was not surprised at all, because the home fleet came for the Future Technology Group.

The Iraqi navy that came out to greet was in the name of Iraq’s national sovereignty, and it was also etiquette to welcome the fleet of friendly countries into the port.

Future Technology Group cannot exercise such rights, so Iraq will do it for him. At Future Technology Group’s military port, Future Security Company Navy Minister Sha Yiqi (a guest guest of the book friend) personally held a welcome ceremony at the port.
