"Mr. Jia, why is the ship still heading towards the United States? It has completely deviated from our original route. What's going on?" Leng Feng had just returned to China for a few days when he came to find Boss Jia again.
It turned out that when Leng Feng found out that Boss Jia had ordered the ship to head towards the United States instead of Hua Xia, he immediately became anxious. He immediately returned to China to find Boss Jia to reason with him.
"Didn't I tell you earlier that the ship would head towards Hawaii in the United States first?" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"I thought you were just lying to those Er Mao people. You actually sent the ship to Hawaii!" Leng Feng said helplessly. Indeed, Boss Jia did tell him that. However, he thought that it was just a joke. After all, both parties had agreed to sail the ship back to China.
However, when the ship set sail, Leng Feng found out from the captain that the ship was indeed heading towards Hawaii in the United States. That was why he became anxious and hurriedly came to find Boss Jia.
"If you want to put on a show, you have to put on a show. Since I bought the ship in the name of filming a movie, it should naturally return to the United States …" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Put on a show?" Leng Feng pondered for a while and then said thoughtfully, "Are you planning to send the ship to the United States first and then return to Hua Xia?"
"That's right!" Boss Jia nodded and said, "Actually, I didn't want to make things so complicated. However, the problem is that some people have their eyes on this ship. If I don't send the ship back to the United States and dispel their suspicions, I'm afraid that there will be problems along the way!"
"But this will only temporarily dispel their suspicions. Once your ship sets sail from the United States, it will immediately alert the relevant people. At that time, there will still be problems!" Leng Feng said worriedly.
"Didn't I tell you? If you want to put on a show, you have to put on a show! "Boss Jia laughed when he heard Leng Feng's worries.
"…" This time, Cold Front didn't understand the hidden meaning behind Boss Jia's words. He just stared blankly at our Boss Jia.
Boss Jia smiled bitterly. Leng Feng was an expert in battle, but when it came to other things, his brain was a little slow.
But it didn't matter. Otherwise, how could our Boss Jia's wisdom be shown? So, Boss Jia explained with a smile, "As I said, we have to act out the whole play. So, of course, we have to act out the part of the play!"
"Actually, what I said at Er Mao's house was the truth. That Telensu Film Company has indeed been registered and has begun to recruit a team to prepare for an earth-shattering production. I have invested more than 100 million USD in them!"
"You're really going to make that Enterprise movie!" Leng Feng exclaimed.
"Of course, why else would I go through so much trouble?" Boss Jia laughed, "I've thought about it for a while. The United States hasn't made a special effects movie with an aircraft carrier battle theme. Once this movie is released, I might even be able to make some money!"
"…" Leng Feng was speechless.
"Let me be honest with you. The ship will be modified in a special shipyard before June this year. Then, it will head to the Pacific Ocean, where we will film the movie. In the end, it will explode in the Pacific Ocean."
"Okay. As for what happens after it explodes, that's your problem. I don't care!" Boss Jia said cheerfully.
"What the …" Leng Feng opened his mouth. Then, he really wanted to smash Boss Jia's head open to see what was in it. How could he come up with such a ridiculous idea?
"But, if we go back and forth, won't it take more than a year?" Leng Feng was still unwilling to give up.
"As far as I know, we aren't ready yet. Even if the ship arrives today, it will take at least a year to start the modification and construction."
"That's true …" Leng Feng stopped talking.
"That's not all. If you stop over in Hawaii, I have an extra gift for you!" Boss Jia smiled.

On February 1st, 1999, after more than two months of sailing, the ship successfully arrived in Hawaii and docked at the Hawaii Naval Shipyard.
There were a total of six large naval shipyards in the United States. One of them was the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine, which was mainly responsible for building submarines.
Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and Repeater Maintenance Station in Washington State
Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Virginia
Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and Repeater Maintenance Station in the Hawaiian Islands
Newport Naval Shipyard in Newport
Once upon a time, the Hawaii Naval Shipyard was the most powerful shipyard in the United States. It had the most workers and had even achieved the feat of building eight aircraft carriers at the same time.
During World War II, the Hawaii Naval Shipyard undertook almost all of the combat and maintenance tasks of the Fusang. At that time, the Hawaii Naval Shipyard was the most lively place in the United States. It almost supported the entire economy of the Hawaii region.
However, after the end of the war, the Fusang became the henchmen of the United States. The Hawaii Naval Shipyard lost most of its value. Other than the daily maintenance of the United States Pacific Fleet, there were basically no more tasks. Many of the shipyards were abandoned because of this, and a large number of workers left because of this.
After 2000, with the further de-industrialization of the United States, the entire Hawaii Naval Shipyard would completely lose its shipbuilding ability. It would only be left with the ability to maintain and repair ships. Only a few local shipyards would still be able to build ships. This could be considered the tears of the era.
However, the current Hawaii Naval Shipyard still had some ability. When the shipyard workers saw a huge ship sailing into the shipyard, they were stunned.
"This is a big ship …"
"It should be a big ship …"
"But why does it look so different from the big ships of the United States!"
"Yeah, this seems to be the style of the Russians."
"What do you mean, this is the style of the Russians! Oh my God, a big ship of the Russians is actually docked in Hawaii. Are the Russians launching an attack on us? "
The shipyard workers looked at the big ship docked in the harbor and talked about it. Some people even picked up guns and were ready to fight. Fortunately, the captain's supervisor arrived in time and patiently explained to all the workers that this was not a big ship of the Russians, but a movie prop bought by a movie company of the United States.
Their shipyard had taken over the task of transforming the ship into the appearance of the Enterprise. He told the workers to hurry up and not delay any more!
"Enterprise? Which Enterprise? "The workers asked in surprise at the same time.
"Of course it's the pride of Hawaii, the lucky Big E, the Gray Ghost, the United States aircraft carrier that died three times and was reborn three times, the Enterprise with the hull number CV-6!" The supervisor said proudly.
