Although Guam and Saipan both belong to the Mariana Islands, and the two islands are only 200 kilometers apart, both belong to the United States, there are still great differences between them.

Perhaps because Guam and Saipan are very close, many people will misunderstand that Guam and Saipan are the same administrative unit, but in fact, this understanding is wrong.

The Northern Mariana Islands, where Saipan Island is located, is an "autonomous state" of the United States, known as the "autonomous state of the Northern Mariana Islands". Saipan Island is the capital and is the "federal territory" of the United States.

Although Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands are collectively known as the Mariana Islands, Guam is listed separately. Guam is the "unincorporated autonomous territory" of the United States and the "unincorporated territory" of the United States.

There are differences between the two. Generally speaking, Guam is a real son and Saipan is a dry son.

"Our current stop is in agania, which is the capital of Guam. However, if our ship wants to stop at Agana yacht wharf in agania, it still can't. the water depth there is not enough. Some boats under 50 feet can go in. Our ship can't get in. We can only stop at the open sea, and then let the boat come and pick you up. But don't worry, pick you up I've contacted your ship and they'll be there in a minute, "Captain beard explained to Yang Jing as he instructed the pilot to stop the ship and anchor.

George Bruce asked strangely, "Captain Wade, why don't we stop at APRA port in the south? I remember that civilian ships are allowed to stop there?"

Chris, John and Clark, who once lived in Guam or came here to perform missions, also nodded.

The port of APRA mentioned by George is the largest port on Guam and the only deep-water port on the island. However, most of the port belongs to the military port of the U.S. Navy, but some civilian ships can also enter and dock in the port.

Now captain bearded doesn't stop at the docks where he can stop. He has to stop and anchor in the deep-sea area, and then transport them to the shore in a small boat.

James Wade explained with a wry smile: "I don't want to stop here and anchor here, but a new wharf is being built at APRA port recently, which is said to be a large wharf for nuclear aircraft carriers, so the inspection of civilian ships over there is very strict these days. If the local ships are OK, my ship is registered in Saipan. So..." Beard shrugged his shoulders helplessly and made a meaning you know.

Captain bearded explained that these people stopped talking. After all, their boss is Yang Jing, a native of China.

In order to contain the increasingly powerful China, although the United States gradually liberalized the restrictions on China in the first island chain, it strengthened the blockade in the second island chain, and continued to strengthen the construction of various military facilities with Guam as the core.

APRA naval base near APRA port is one of the largest naval bases of the U.S. Navy in the Western Pacific and an important base for U.S. nuclear powered submarines. In the past, there was no wharf for heavy aircraft carriers in this military port, but since the beginning of the new century, the US Congress has approved an investment and plans to use US $12 billion to build a super base from Guam to deal with the threat of China. Among them, there is a plan to build a wharf that can dock with nuclear powered aircraft carriers.

Military port construction is a very troublesome thing. In order to ensure the safety of military port, the inspection of civil ships during military port construction is very harsh.

In this regard, Yang Jing can only say helplessly: "since that's the case, let's wait a minute. Anyway, there is a distance between APRA port and agania. Even if you get off the ship from there, you need to take a bus back to agania."

Since Yang Jing said so, others waited patiently.

The place where Captain bearded stopped was located in the open sea area of agania, almost one kilometer away from the wharf area.

Standing on the deck and looking at the opposite coastline, Yang Jing suddenly pointed to a peninsula about 500 meters deep into the ocean and said, "Captain Wade, is there a statue of liberty there? Am I right?"

Captain bearded smiled and didn't speak. George opened his mouth and explained, "boss, you're right. The statue of liberty you see is the statue of liberty located in Susanna Susanna."

"Is there another statue of liberty here? It's so small that I wouldn't be able to see it if I didn't have good eyes. But as far as I know, although there are many statues of liberty in the world, it seems that there are only two in the United States? One is the authentic statue of liberty in New York, and the other is a half of the imitation statue of liberty, which is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. This What's going on here? "

George smiled: "Boss, I'm afraid you're really mistaken. The little statue of liberty you saw was built as early as February 8, 1950, even earlier than the statue of liberty in Las Vegas. The statue was built by boy scouts to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the American Boy Scouts. Therefore, although the statue of liberty is short, it represents more meaning than the statue of liberty The goddess statue in Las Vegas is much stronger. "

After a pause, George continued: "Guam can be said to be the westernmost territory of the United States in the Pacific Ocean, so those little boy scouts built such a statue from Susanna Park in the hope that the goddess of liberty could guard Guam here."

As he was saying this, he saw a small yacht about 50 feet long coming out of the yagana yacht wharf south of Susanna park. After the driver of the cab contacted him by radio, he gestured to captain bearded. Captain bearded smiled and told Yang Jing that the yacht that took them ashore came.

Before the voice fell, a huge roar sounded from the top of her head. Yang Jing looked up and saw a huge Boeing 787 whistling over her head and climbing rapidly. The huge sound wave made Yang Jing cover her ears involuntarily.

When the plane flew away and the voice dropped, Yang Jing smiled and asked captain bearded, "this plane is not a plane of the U.S. Air Force? How do I think the noise made by this civil airliner seems to be much more serious than that of military aircraft?"

Captain bearded shook his head helplessly and said, "what can I do? Who makes that damn Antonio wangpat International Airport in the center of the city?"

The Antonio wangpat International Airport mentioned by Captain mustache is the only commercial airport on Guam, located between the two cities of agania and tamunin. But now the two cities are almost connected, so the airport is actually surrounded by cities.

"Damn it, damn it, why do you have to take a plane? The plane is noisy and unsafe. Twenty one years ago, there was an air crash at this airport. A Korean civil airliner crashed 5 kilometers away from the airport, killing 228 people at once. So, where can I take a boat by plane? It's quiet and comfortable, and I can catch seafood by myself ... "seems to be stimulated. Captain mustache decisively turns on the consumption mode and mumbles constantly.

While talking, the small yacht had connected with Captain beard's yacht. Yang Jing laughed and patted captain beard on the shoulder. After leaving, she stepped on the small yacht.

In a few minutes, the small yacht returned to the yagana yacht wharf. As captain Beard said, all the small and medium-sized yachts berthed in the yacht wharf are less than 60 feet, and the water depth here is really very shallow. You can see the coral reefs at the bottom of the sea

After landing on the shore, George began to call. Soon, three spacious military Hummers stopped beside the party. A white man with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel on his shoulder got out of the leading car and warmly hugged George.

Later, the lieutenant colonel warmly hugged Chris, John, Clark and Morris. It can be seen that they seem to be very familiar with each other.

George led the lieutenant colonel to Yang Jing and said with a smile: "Paul, let me introduce you. This is my boss, Albert young. Boss. This is Paul Adriano. He is my best friend in Guam. We joined Anderson Air Force Base in the same year. We were in the same company and lived in the same barracks. Now I am retired, but this guy has mixed in the position of lieutenant colonel."

Paul Adriano smiled.

"Hi, nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you, too."

The two shook hands with each other, even if they knew each other. However, it can be seen that the lieutenant colonel seems to be a little cold about Yang Jing's skin color, and the smile on his face is a little hypocritical.

But it doesn't matter. Yang Jing doesn't have anything to ask him, and it is estimated that this guy can climb to the position of lieutenant colonel, which has a lot to do with George's father.

Don't think it's good for the American army. In fact, the American army is like that. There are many gangs in it.

It seemed that his good friend was a little indifferent to Yang Jing. George secretly poked the guy in the back of the waist, winked, and then smiled and said to Yang Jing: "Boss, we won't stay in the hotel today. My father's villa has been arranged. My father's villa is enough for us. Let's go first, prepare and then have dinner. My father will come over for dinner. We'll visit the base tomorrow."

Yang Jing smiled, nodded and said, "here, everything depends on your arrangement."
