"Pakistans are simply delusional!" The voice of the White House, Defense Secretary Weinberg, almost knocked the roof down: "They want to modify the aircraft carrier themselves, which is a joke!"

"Yes, now, there are only four or five countries that can build aircraft carriers in the world." Schultz said: "If Pakistan is towed back, it will only be a pile of scrap iron."

The United States, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and other countries have experience in manufacturing aircraft carriers, but it is impossible for other countries to build aircraft carriers.

Now, Pakistan actually wants to drive the aircraft carrier back and modify it by itself, which is simply a dream! They may be confused when they enter the aircraft carrier!

"Everyone, our question now is whether we can agree to Pakistan's request." Reagan said: "We gave this aircraft carrier for free to Pakistan. We wanted to make money by modifying it, but now, Pakistan has to drag it back and modify it itself."

"It is impossible for them to modify it. If they were dragged back to Pakistan, they would not even have the ability to dismantle it." Weinberg continued.

"Isn't this the best?" Vice President Bush said: "This President Mhamad has always been arrogant. This time, he actually wanted them to modify it himself. Let's just let him modify it himself. When they find that they can't solve it, they will come to ask us for help. Then the price will be even higher."

"Also, Pakistan is still responsible for helping us rescue hostages. We cannot have a complete quarrel with Pakistan at this time." Schultz said: "This is not in our interest, but I also feel that if we send the aircraft carrier to Pakistan like this, we will suffer another loss."

"Just. Let's do some tricks before giving it to you." Weinberg said: "This aircraft carrier has eight boilers. It has been sealed for so long, and one of them has aging and cannot be used. It is normal. If you want to replace a new boiler, you must cut the deck and lift the boiler out. Such a project will not be done by Pakistan's shipyard. You can only go around half of the earth and drive it back to us for repair."

"Okay, just do it." Reagan said: "Our deal with Iran must also be carried out as soon as possible. We need to rescue our hostages as soon as possible."

The United States agreed to the request made by the Iranians. Anyway, the two countries had a bad relationship and the United States had detained too much.

………

Northwestern Florida city, Pensacola.

The sun shines on the edge of the city, close to the Gulf of Mexico, and is an important military port for the US Navy. Many warships are stationed here, looking from the sky. A warship next to each other is stacked around the port, telling the power of the US Navy.

And just in a corner of the military port, there is a warship, staying alone here. Its straight deck and the bridge on the side represent that it is an aircraft carrier, but the rusty hull indicates that this warship is already an abandoned object.

It is here, blown by the sun and wind. It has been nearly ten years since it has grown old, like an old man with every piece of skin chalked, but it is unwilling to let it go again as long as it takes a rest!

On that day, a large number of naval soldiers came by its side. However, from the military uniforms, most of them were not US Navy personnel.

"This ship is the aircraft carrier given to your country." Major General Bill, commander of the Pensacola Naval Base, said to the Pakistani soldiers.

Stepping on the sampan, Pakistani Navy Chief of Staff Zahar walked onto the warship.

Mhamad attaches great importance to this aircraft carrier, so as the chief of staff of the Navy, Zahar personally brought 400 carefully selected naval soldiers to receive the aircraft carrier.

Looking at the rusty aircraft carrier, Zahar couldn't help but frown.

"The funds were limited at that time, so it was sealed by our Navy itself, and we did not ask the shipyard people to do it. As a result, the sealing was not good. It was rusted like this in less than ten years." Bill said: "If you want to repair this aircraft carrier, it is not possible without a professional shipyard."

Bill's meaning is very obvious. With you, it is impossible for you to repair this aircraft carrier.

"Can we go in and take a look?" Zahar said.

"Of course, we are responsible for handover. If you familiarize yourself with the various cabins, we should go back." Bill said.

Since they want to drive the aircraft carrier away, let's go away, the US Navy will not help.

When I opened the bridge door, there was a spider web hanging inside. Under Bill's leadership, Zahar first came to the upper bridge.

Through this, you can see the outline of the entire aircraft carrier, the straight deck, and the catapult... In front of Zahar, an image appeared. Pakistan's own fighter jet took off from this aircraft carrier!

Although in the eyes of Americans, this aircraft carrier is just broken, for the Pakistani Navy, this aircraft carrier will witness the strength of the Pakistani Navy!

Even if it takes ten years, this aircraft carrier must be repaired and can be put into service in the Pakistan Navy!

"The power cabin is behind." Bill continued to lead the Pakistani Navy through the hangar under the empty deck and to the back cabin.

This aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 40,000 tons is driven by eight boilers at the tail, driving four gear-driven steam turbines. The main engine outputs 150,000 axes and 4 axes, making the aircraft carrier reach a speed of 33 knots, and at the same time, it can have enough steam for catapults to use.

When they came downstairs and looked at the sealed boilers, Zahar knew that their first step was to reseal these boilers and ignite them so that the boilers could generate steam.

When operating the Pakistan Navy's own ships, they were very familiar with these boilers, and the officers and soldiers brought them began to work quickly.

"Where are the people from your shipyard?" Zahar asked. According to the original plan, the people from the shipyard will be unsealed with them, and technical support will be provided during the sailing process.

"Newport News Shipyard is now building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for the Navy and is unable to send workers for the time being. It is expected that people will be sent here to assist in half a year," Bill said.

I had known that the United States would make things difficult for a long time, but it has started now! However, in order to get this aircraft carrier back, Zahar did not do anything. Even if he hired a few tugboats to tow it back, he had to get this thing back first!

At this point, Mhamad's position is very firm, just because he is afraid that Americans will change their minds.

In later generations, the empty-shelled Varyag was brought back under a tow boat. When it encountered bad weather on the way, it was entirely due to the fearless spirit of the sailors that saved the ship.

And now, the naval soldiers from Pakistan are also firm in their will.

"Then please provide us with heavy marine oil first." Zahar said to Bill.

When this ship was sealed, the fuel tank was empty. The steam boiler burned heavy oil. Without heavy oil, the ship was waste.

"There is no refueling equipment at this terminal," Bill said. "This is a spare dock. If you want to refuel, you can only go to another dock and pick it up in a bucket."

The heavy oil used for ships is not recorded in barrels, but in tons! If you want to drive the ship and cross the ocean, you will need at least a few hundred tons of heavy oil!

And the other party actually said to use a bucket to carry it!

Even if it is just a gas truck, it is much better than it is. The easiest thing is to drive a supply ship over, set up a pipe, and fill it up quickly.

Zahar knew that even if it was protesting through diplomatic channels, the time it took to go back and forth would take more than ten days or even months. Now, he only had one choice!

"Soldiers. Now, our first mission is to fill our aircraft carrier with barrels!" Zahar said: "We will go and lift the fuel now!"

The Pakistani soldiers were filled with anger in their eyes, and they were also arrogant. They just used the bucket! What are you afraid of!

It took an hour to go back and forth. In order to speed up, they almost trotted when they went back.

At first, Bill wanted to see these Pakistani people make a fool of themselves. They wanted to modify the aircraft carrier themselves, which touched the interests of many people. Therefore, Bill was instructed by the above to make some small moves for the Pakistani people.

In fact, this terminal has an oil pipeline, but the switch is not turned on!

Now, seeing the Pakistani people actually lifting them in a bucket, Bill was shocked. What a strong perseverance it should be!

Four hundred soldiers, including officers, were lifting oil. Although they could only lift thirty kilograms at a time, four hundred people could lift more than ten tons at a time. In a day, they fought for twenty hours and raised nearly three hundred tons!

The hands were broken and the legs could not move. Only the firm will was still supporting them!

After three days of raising it, finally enough fuel for the aircraft carrier to drive, and they then started the boiler pilot ignition.

As smoke began to emerge from the chimney, all the soldiers were extremely excited. As long as the boiler was pressurized and the steam turbine was driven, they could start the aircraft carrier!

Although it is rusty, it is also an aircraft carrier!

When boiler No. 6 was started, a flame suddenly appeared in the boiler shell.

Oops, fire! The troopers immediately picked up the fire water pipes without fear of death and began to spray water on the boiler.

Once the fire spreads, the entire power compartment is burned, and the aircraft carrier will be really scrapped.

The initial fire extinguishing is the most effective.

The beards, eyebrows and hair of several mechanics were burnt, and the fire was finally controlled.

Boiler No. 6 is faulty!

"Operate carefully and continue to start boilers No. 7 and No. 8." Zahar was still calm.

Only Boiler No. 6 has not started, and the rest of the boilers are gradually pressurized and heated up normally.

This boiler will be repaired after you go back, and the remaining boilers can provide enough power!

When the aircraft carrier finally left the dock, Zahar felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart, and his eyes had become blurred. (To be continued)
