Dominate South Asia

The sea was rough, and the waves several feet high hit the warships. The huge warships were unaware, splitting the wind and waves and sailing forward.

Warships were sailing on the sea. Outside were frigates with a displacement of several thousand tons, inside were destroyers and cruisers, and in the innermost was the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons!

Black smoke was coming out of the chimney, and the Kitty Hawk was running at full power, riding the wind and waves. A few days ago, after receiving the order from above, the Kitty Hawk fleet set off from the island country station and began to sail towards the Indian Ocean.

The requirement put forward by the United States to China was to unload the goods in Saudi Arabia and accept inspection! At the same time, in order to deal with possible changes and to further exert pressure, the United States sent the Kitty Hawk fleet to the Indian Ocean to prepare for any eventuality.

The mobilization of this aircraft carrier fleet has attracted more attention from the world. Are there any raw materials for making chemical weapons on the Galaxy? For a time, there were many opinions.

After the Kitty Hawk fleet sailed for half a month and passed the Strait of Malacca, the Chinese government, which had always been firm in its attitude, finally agreed to the US's request to unload the cargo in Saudi Arabia and accept inspection. At the same time, the demand for compensation if there was no cargo was still very tough. So, in order to allow China's Galaxy to be inspected, the United States agreed to this request, but it was not placed in Pakistan's account, but in Saudi Arabia's account.

In the eyes of the United States, Pakistan's position is more inclined to China, or neutral Saudi Arabia is more reliable.

So, when the Kitty Hawk entered the Indian Ocean, the Galaxy cargo ship also sailed into the Persian Gulf and anchored at the Saudi port of Dammam.

When the Galaxy cargo ship docked at the port, the port was already crowded with reporters who had heard the news.

"We in the United States have accurate intelligence that this Galaxy is loaded with thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride. These two raw materials are used to make chemical weapons! The Chinese government is trying to delay. Now, as long as we check the cargo box, the truth will be revealed!" The representative of the United States, the counselor of the US Embassy in Saudi Arabia, Makyoum, said proudly to these reporters.

If the inspection was done in Pakistan, it would have nothing to do with him. Now that he has come to Saudi Arabia, it just gives Makyoum an opportunity.

"The United States is wielding the big stick of hegemony and maliciously hijacking our civilian ships. Its practices are no different from pirates. In order to clear our name, we are willing to open the boxes for inspection. Then, let's see how the United States will explain to the world." The representative of China was serious and angry at this time.

The first day passed with such a statement. The next day. At dawn, the three-party inspection officially began.

"We need to provide the cargo list number of the goods shipped to Iran." The American staff said.

"Okay, we can provide it." Zhang Rude said. He handed over the cargo list number.

The Americans took the list number triumphantly. Their intelligence was very accurate. They even knew the cargo box number. As long as they found the cargo box and opened it, they could check out the chemical weapons raw materials!

CSAQ3101 and CSAQ3102, where are these two numbers? The Americans carefully checked all the cargo list numbers, and checked them again. It's strange, there are no two containers at all!

What's going on? The US representative was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party must have modified the cargo list number! It doesn't matter, check them one by one!

"Unload all the cargo boxes shipped to Iran, we will check them one by one!" The US representative continued, giving orders, with the tone of a world policeman.

"Okay." The Saudi representative said. Saudi Arabia must cooperate in all aspects of the inspection at the Saudi port, and at the same time, it will handle this matter fairly, after all. Saudi Arabia has a friendly relationship with the United States and a good relationship with China. In particular, China has sold strategic weapons to Saudi Arabia. And now, Saudi Arabia's role is to provide a place for the United States to capture evidence and China to clarify the facts.

The crane at the port turned and unloaded the container.

Wearing desert camouflage uniforms, carrying unpacking tools, inspection instruments, and flashlights, the US inspectors have been eager to try. When they saw the box being hoisted down, they immediately rushed up.

The door of the container is sealed. It will be opened by the owner only after arriving at the destination. Now, they use hydraulic shears to cut the lock directly, and then use a crowbar to open the door of the container.

"Creaky." With a metallic sound, the door of the container was opened, and there were some lead-sealed black iron barrels inside!

Seeing these iron barrels, the Saudi personnel were stunned. Could this be those things?

"What are these?" American Counselor Makyoum asked triumphantly.

"There are solid dyes inside." Zhang Rude said: "We checked it when it was loaded from Shanghai."

Solid dyes? Who are they fooling? The American technicians were fully armed and carefully took out two barrels from the middle. Maybe the outside was solid dyes, and the inside was liquid chemical weapons raw materials!

Just like that, they took out two barrels and opened them carefully with tools. When the lid of the black iron barrel was opened, they saw the red dye inside, and they were immediately discouraged.

It's really dyes! What they want to check is the liquid raw materials, and the color is not right!

"Take it for testing!" The American personnel did not give up. What if it was other raw materials that could be used to make chemical weapons? Whenever possible! In fact, thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride are mainly used to make preservatives, pesticides, printing and dyeing auxiliaries, ink solvents, etc. Making chemical weapons is only a possibility.

The test results came out quickly. It was indeed a dye, and it was impossible to create any chemical weapons!

Keep checking!

In one morning, I checked 25 cargo boxes and found nothing. They were all light industrial products, such as pencils, ballpoint pens, cloth and the like. A few possible chemicals were tested, and none of them were raw materials for chemical weapons.

Of course I won’t give up, I will check again in the afternoon!

The investigation lasted until night, and all the containers destined for Iran were empty, and no illegal items were found.

"It must be hidden. We need to check all the containers shipped at Tianjin Xingang Port and Shanghai Port!" On the third day, the Americans came up with a new method. They have already started checking anyway, so let's check it out!

"We firmly believe that we do not have the chemical weapons materials you call them. However, in order to clear our innocence, we are willing to let you continue to inspect." The Chinese representative said: "However, if you still cannot find out, then you must issue a communiqué and report to The whole world admits your mistakes and pays us reparations, as evidenced by Saudi friends.”

"We will definitely find it out!" Of course the Americans would not admit their mistakes. Makyoum said: "Our intelligence department may have remembered the wrong number of the container. We require inspection of container No. CSAQ3010!"

Container No. CSAQ3010 was shipped to Pakistan. Maybe Pakistan provided cover! Looking at this own verification, Pakistan looks so nervous that it actually dispatched warships to hinder the verification. It must be Pakistan!

Thinking of this, Makyoum felt confident again.

China continued to agree to the request. As the container No. CSAQ3010 was lifted off the ship, the American personnel continued to open the container, which was filled with cardboard boxes!

After opening a cardboard box and reaching in, the expression on the American technician's face suddenly became quite ugly.

"What's going on?" Makyoum asked. As soon as he opened the box, he saw the small boxes inside.

"Those are playing cards." The Saudi representative recognized them at a glance: "Are chemical weapons hidden in playing cards?"

The Saudi representative spoke seriously, and everyone else at the scene laughed. It turns out that chemical weapons can be hidden in playing cards!

"It's not this, it must be in another cargo box!" Makyoum continued to shout: "Let's continue checking!"

Another busy day has passed, and still nothing has been achieved. The Americans are a little flustered.

"Mr. Makyoum, we have asked you to check all the cargo boxes. Have you found thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride?" In a conference room at the dock, an impromptu meeting was going on.

Facing the doubts of the Chinese personnel, Makyoum had no expression on his face, only his cheeks shook twice, and said: "We have only inspected part of the cargo of the Galaxy and cannot publicly admit that there are no thiodiglycol and thionyl chloride on board. Chemicals. We have reported it to Washington, which has instructed us to either unpack all the Chinese goods on the ship or inspect them part by part until Washington thinks it is OK.”

Scoundrel, scoundrel! I didn’t check it out, so I wanted to cheat! If you check part by part, you can check it for a year or two! It has been delayed for a month now, and COSCO has already suffered a lot of losses!

"We have repeatedly reiterated that there is nothing on the ship that you want. In order to verify our innocence, we allowed you to inspect our containers. Now, after all the containers have been inspected, you actually tore up the original agreement, went back on your words, and broke your promise. ! It is a blatant violation of the promise not to touch the goods of third countries, and it is also a tyrannical act to check all the containers on our freighter!" The representative of China said: "You have no reason to do this!"

"We are following orders from Washington," Makyoum said. There was a unique American arrogance in his words.

"The agreement we reach in the future should be written in writing and signed by the three parties." Seeing the Americans acting like this, even the Saudi representatives were extremely dissatisfied. This sentence was said to support the Chinese side and express their dissatisfaction with the Americans. .

Makyoum remained expressionless and said to the Saudi representative: "I need to consult Washington for your proposal." (To be continued ~^~)
