000105 Great Ship Cannon
It was almost time, and Xiao Yi flew to the international exit. There were already many people waiting to pick up the plane. Most of them held a sign with various words on it. He didn't hold the sign. Although his current height of 1.88 meters is incomparable to NBA players, it is more than 10 centimeters taller than the average height of American men. He can be seen from a distance.
After waiting for a while, Xiao Yifei had already seen Li Qinglin walk out of the passage. However, obviously he did not expect that there would be so many people outside. He did not find Xiao Yifei ambushed in the crowd for a while. Xiao Yifei really didn't hide on purpose, but when the people in front saw someone coming out, they raised the sign high, and Xiao Yifei, who had no sign, was naturally blocked.
After squeezing past a few people, Xiao Yifei raised his hand and slapped it. The sound was naturally eye-catching, so Li Qinglin, who was looking around like a fool, finally discovered him.
Xiao Yifei was too lazy to squeeze forward, pointed at the direction of few people, and retreated out of the crowd by himself.
Li Qinglin and the others quickly walked out of the crowd. As soon as they met, Li Qinglin began to complain:
"You boy, don't have some strength. Haven't you seen your brother's big bags?"
"Oh, let's see, what are your preparations for this big bag."
This guy is just looking for a slap. Xiao Yifei has already explained that he doesn't have to bring any clothes because he arranged a shopping trip, so the clothes here are very cheap. He not only has a computer bag on his shoulder, but also has a big box on his hand. His wife and Xiao Ya have only brought a small shoulder bag.
Xiao Yifei lifted the big box and was surprised to find that the big box was light and had no feeling.
When Li Qinglin saw Xiao Yifei take the big box, he praised him repeatedly: "Good, good performance."
Xiao Yifei threw the box to him again. "It's just an empty box, take it yourself."
After looking at them, there were indeed no other boxes, okay, don't do it yourself.
"Have you changed your phone?"
"You must have changed everything you ordered."
"What are you doing with an empty box?"
At this time, his wife said, "I see that they are all suggesting shopping online, so remember to bring an empty box."
Xiao Yifei didn't know what to say. Since clothes are cheap, the box must be cheap. Even if the box is not cheap, how expensive can it be to buy an extra box?
"Xu Shuyun, long time no see."
Li Qinglin's girlfriend Xu Shuyun is an insurance company and is responsible for auto insurance damage determination. She is relatively rich and has a cheerful personality. We have had several meals together and are familiar with each other.
"Long time no see, but in just one year, you have made such a big name. It's really impressive. It's still our Xiaoya has the vision."
Xiao Ya hammered her embarrassedly.
"Xiao Ya, you haven't seen each other for a few months, and you are getting more and more beautiful."
"Okay, don't be vain. You will go slowly tonight. Where is your car? Lead the way."
"Shut up, you."
When he arrived at the parking lot and saw Xiao Yifei's car, Li Qinglin made trouble again.
"I'll go, you buy such a big car? How much does Lincoln Pilot cost?"
"It's more than 70,000, it seems."
"It's so cheap, why don't you drive a Porsche or something to pick me up?"
"Sorry, the cheapest Porsche is only more than $60,000, which is cheaper than this one."
"Then Ferrari or Lamborghini are always more expensive than yours, right?"
"Can the sports car sit so many people? Are you squeezing the back seat?"
"Then let it go. You just like big cars, so you bought a Viano in China."
Li Qinglin deliberately pronounced the big characters with accents.
"Get the keys, I'll try the car."
"If you don't give it, you'll forget it today. By the way, how are you resting on the plane?"
Li Qinglin was putting something on and poked his head out from behind the car: "Look at my brother's eyes, what do you think?"
Well, this is the eye that used to stay up all night on weekends.
“It’s only 3 o’clock now, should I go to a hotel or start a trip?”
"You can tell me what you arranged first."
"I booked the Four Seasons Hotel, which is in the northwest of the city. We are now in the west, so I arranged to go to the south to see the Iowa battleship, so we won't have to enter the main urban area in the next few days."
(The Iowa battleship was towed to Los Angeles and opened in 2012, and it is fictional here in advance.)
"Why?"
This is a good question, why, it’s not because of public security.
The downtown of Los Angeles is the so-called wn, which is simply a slum and a place that triggered riots in Los Angeles. It has been almost the same as Lao Mo, and the security in Vietnam is becoming more and more chaotic. Compton, the famous black area, is a paradise for crime.
The famous Los Angeles River Bed is the Governor's Terminator 2, the filming location of the famous "Transformers", and the place where the space shuttle landed in the disaster film "Central Destruction". It often appears in movies and American dramas. But now it has become the territory of American gangsters, with graffiti, black guns, and drugs on the walls are openly sold here.
Even the University of Southern California, a little south of the city center, was rated as the most dangerous university in the United States by an American magazine. However, this ranking is obviously biased. Many of their own students say they dare not enter the school at night, and the private universities that girls ask for escorts by the school police are not on the ranking list at all.
But anyway, you just don't go out in those places at night.
Xiao Yifei's explanation frightened them a few times. The two women didn't dare to stay in the car to rest, so they could only follow them to visit the "men's toys".
As soon as the car entered San Pedro, I immediately realized the difference.
"You are driving in the right direction, so ragged."
"According to gps, I didn't go the wrong way, so there is only one possibility."
"What's the situation?"
“This is a slum.”
The three of them immediately became nervous and looked outside, afraid that Xiao Hei who was robbing with a gun suddenly jumped out. Obviously, they were all frightened by Xiao Yifei's description just now.
Xiao Yifei pointed to the storage box and said:
"Don't be afraid. There is a gun inside."
Li Qinglin was on the passenger seat, and he immediately wanted to open the storage box.
"Don't take it, just put it there. The police will have a big trouble when they see it."
"If you have any trouble, please put it in the car?"
I also have a well-loaded pistol and a shotgun in my space. If I hadn't stipulated that one person could only buy one gun a month, I would have washed the empty gun shop long ago.
"I have a gun license, you don't."
With the concealed gun carrying permit issued by Sheriff Caristoga, Xiao Yifei could carry a pistol with him in all parts of California. However, he was not used to running around with a gun at any time, so he put the gun in the car, but there was a loaded pistol in the space at any time.
This hidden gun permit is difficult to obtain in big cities, and even if ordinary people have this certificate, no one usually carries a gun with them. Those who carry guns are either plainclothes policemen, even people from powerful departments, or people with bad intentions. Anyway, if you want to see someone carrying a gun with them, it is the wisest choice to stay away from them.
Following the GPS guidance, Xiao Yifei turned left and drove another period to know that the route was correct. The tall bridge of the Iowa battleship appeared in his field of view.
Xiao Yifei had to complain, this parking lot actually charges, I think too much about money. If it weren't for the Iowa warship here, who would have no time to come to this place where birds don't shit, just finding a beach would be better than this pier.
The huge 61 on the bow of the ship shows his identity, and the bb61 is the number of the battleship Iowa in the US Navy. Xiao Yifei took out his camera and clicked it without saying a word. Li Qinglin also took out the camera to take pictures. Then the two people took some photos of each other and asked the two girls to be models. They took pictures of the battleship as the background.
When it comes to women, they just like taking photos. After a few poses, their condition has recovered. They are excited to take a look at this ugly thing they just disdained.
When buying a ticket and boarding the ship, Li Qinglin pointed to the screen showing the ticket price and smiled. Xiao Yifei took a look and found nothing funny.
“Adult tickets are $18, right?”
Xiao Yifei nodded.
"The elderly and the soldiers are $15, right?"
Xiao Yifei nodded again.
“Is that Iowa resident free?”
Xiao Yifei didn't know, he used "s" here, which literally means a resident of Iowa, but it is also possible that he was a person who served on the Iowa.
"This has to be released in China, and a bunch of fake Iowa resident licenses and driver's licenses are guaranteed."
sweat.
Xiao Yifei could only defend himself: "No one's money is blown by the strong wind, so you can save as much as possible."
After buying the ticket, I passed the pier and first went to the first deck. There were pieces of wooden boards on the ground, which should be to protect the deck below.
The first thing that caught your eye was the two huge turrets, No. 1 and No. 2. Each turret has 3 thick barrels. The inner diameter is 16 inches. Many families have car tires of this size, even a size smaller than this size. You can imagine how powerful it takes to launch such a large shell dozens of kilometers away.
The No. 1 turret is placed flat and understandingly, giving you the opportunity to use your hands to illustrate how big these 16-inches are, allowing you to truly understand what a giant ship cannon is.
Unfortunately, I couldn't climb up and ride a thick cannon barrel. Everyone took a photo with the cannon barrel that was bigger than my head. Li Qinglin also specially gave some close-ups of the decaying teak decks on the front deck waveproof board.
Climbing to the deck of Turret No. 2 and touching the turret, the armor as thick as 50 cm will give you the illusion that the inside of the turret is basically solid, but in fact it is not. There are many people operating these cannons inside.
On April 19, 1989, an internal explosion occurred in this No. 2 turret. 49 naval officers and soldiers were killed. On the right side of the turret, there were a list of the 49 people, and flowers were placed to commemorate them.
There was also a blue training bomb on the boat, allowing everyone to experience the huge shells. Several young men and women also came for vacation. One of the blonde beauty ran over and rode on the huge shells. Her crotch rubbed her waist and twisted her hands to wave her hands. His companions laughed while taking photos. Xiao Yifei had also seen how crazy these young Americans were playing, but they just clicked a few photos. Li Qinglin looked at the blonde beauty in amazement. If her mouth opened a little wider, her saliva would definitely flow all over the floor.
Xu Shuyun reacted and was stunned when she saw her boyfriend. She stretched out her little black hand and clamped it and turned it around. Li Qinglin immediately woke up.
A fat black security guard came over to stop the young people, and they continued to visit.
"It's okay, it's like this when young people make trouble, there won't be any trouble."
I flashed outside the bridge, radar, rangefinder, 127 guns... What was the photo taken, and I went back and sorted it out slowly.
You can enter the interior from the door behind the No. 2 turret. First, you will come to the officers' cafeteria, where there is a portrait of Iowa hanging, but the "the_big_stick" on the background makes Xiao Yifei laugh out loud.
Of course, it means a big stick, which is pretty good. Everyone says, "Hold carrots in one hand and a big stick in the other." Isn't this powerful warship a huge big stick?
Of course, if you have other ideas like Xiao Yifei, then face the wall by yourself.
Then there is the officer accommodation area. On the ship, only senior officers have single dormitories, and intermediate officers have to live in double rooms. Although the small rooms are a bit of bad treatment for the officers, their accommodation conditions are much better than the soldiers below.
