189: Food Supply List

Gromyko understood Xu Ning's intention. He quickly stepped forward, took out his pen, and signed his name on the agreement.

Although this signing still made him tremble with fear, he no longer felt the despair he had experienced when dealing with Harvey.

He knew well that this agreement was at least not a bad thing for Utopoonia.

After both copies of the agreement bore their respective names, Xu Ning did not hesitate to take one.

He turned his gaze to Alexei: "Now, take me to the port.

It's time to fulfill our agreement."

Alexei looked at him in astonishment: "Leaving now?"

He seemed to still be recovering from the tense atmosphere just now.

"You can take this agreement and discuss the specific details slowly at our embassy," Xu Ning said.

"But I must leave the port with the aircraft carrier in two hours."

Alexei finally realized that Xu Ning was not joking.

He hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie nearby to contact the port, saying anxiously: "The launching preparations Mr. Skolov asked you to make last time can now continue.

Call all the workers back to rush the work, I want to see the aircraft carrier launched and leave the port in two hours."

Although there was chaos on the other end of the line, they finally agreed.

Alexei nodded slightly, gently placed the walkie-talkie aside, and turned his gaze towards Xu Ning.

"Do you think this arrangement is suitable?"

Xu Ning showed a hint of approval: "Very good, Mr. Alexei, this is the first time I've looked at you with different eyes.

However, I still have something to ask of you."

"Please gather the guards in the square so that my people can disarm them smoothly."

Silence spread between the two.

Not far away, the dock was busy and orderly. On a temporary bridge built of steel, a tank named Poor Oddity was slowly driving into the embrace of the ulyanovsk aircraft carrier.

Xu Ning quietly pulled Security Guard Lie aside and whispered: "I have asked everyone's opinion, and most people are willing to go to the new land with me.

Mr. Security Guard Lie, what are your thoughts?"

Security Guard Lie gave a wry smile, his eyes flickering with complex emotions: "Mr. Xu, perhaps my old bones are truly tough. I thought I would end my life on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to live until now."

His voice was low and firm: "Sorry, Mr. Xu, I am unwilling to leave this land.

Malyshev is my home. Whether I live or die, I hope to spend it there."

After hearing this, Xu Ning felt regret but had already anticipated this answer: "You are an outstanding workshop director, and I believe you will also become an excellent acting director."

Security Guard Lie looked at Xu Ning in surprise, not understanding his meaning.

"I have already negotiated the terms with them.

After I leave, they will no longer make things difficult for Malyshev Military Industry.

Harvey is no longer here, and there is no need for us to continue resisting each other."

Xu Ning's words made a flicker of disbelief flash in Security Guard Lie's eyes: "You mean..."

Xu Ning smiled gently: "Yes, you can now return to Malyshev freely.

Those companions who chose to stay will also go with you, so you can look out for each other on the way."

"From now on, Malyshev is entrusted to you."

Security Guard Lie hesitated several times, wanting to speak but stopping, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his face: "Mr. Xu, please take good care of yourself too."

"I hope we have a chance to meet again in the future, Mr. Acting Director," Xu Ning said sincerely.

Security Guard Lie's eyes were full of anticipation for the future: "Yes, I hope that day comes..."

Although he also knew that after this parting, Xu Ning might never be able to set foot on this familiar land again.

The raindrops that had gathered in the sky for a long time finally fell, as if putting a period on this moment.

As the last Poor Oddity Tank was safely transported onto the aircraft carrier, seawater began to flood into the dock, gently touching the giant ship.

After a series of detailed checks confirmed everything was correct, Xu Ning led everyone onto the deck.

Although it was three and a half hours later than expected, they finally set off.

All of this was thanks to Mr. Skorlov's careful preparations beforehand.

Even though it was temporarily put on hold due to an accident, everything was proceeding according to plan at this moment.

Looking at the silhouette of the aircraft carrier gradually moving away, the stone in Alexei's heart finally dropped.

In this self-directed and self-acted farce, the unwelcome guests finally dispersed on their own.

Alexei immediately put on a fawning smile and then said ingratiatingly to Gromyko beside him: "Respected Minister of Foreign Affairs, allow me to respectfully escort you away.

You haven't shown up for a long time, and the higher-ups must be burning with anxiety."

"Regarding the matter of tank formations appearing in the town, the higher-ups have inquired many times, but in order not to anger Mr. Xu, I cleverly concealed the truth," he added in a low voice.

"Presumably, they are still in the dark to this day and do not know that your whereabouts were with me."

However, Gromyko only responded with a cold look and said indifferently: "No need to trouble yourself, just prepare a car for me, and I will leave on my own."

Alexei's smile immediately froze.

His flattery just now had clearly backfired due to Xu Ning's involvement.

The raindrops hitting his face seemed to also intensify the gloom in his heart.

As Gromyko's back disappeared into the rain curtain, Alexei stood alone in the wind and rain, and only after a long time did he let out a heavy sigh: "Perhaps, this is a silent revenge for my initial attitude towards that Asian."

At the same time, on the vast sea surface, the waves gently undulated.

Xu Ning stood on the bridge, his gaze piercing through the rain curtain, staring at the blurred horizon in the distance.

Even though the sky was dark, it did not prevent him from having a clear understanding of the boundary of that sliver of sky, like a stroke casually sketched by an artist on a clean canvas.

The rainwater on the deck fell silently, just like dropping into the soil without causing a ripple.

Many workers were busy in front of the control panel, and Xu Ning did not need to personally handle anything.

The matter of navigation was fully handled by these experienced shipbuilding Gongda Family, after all, this was their masterpiece, and navigating it across the seas was naturally not a problem.

Xu Ning spared no expense to borrow this giant ship from Alexei, intending to let it set sail and leave a journey in the vast sea.

This was by no means a task that ordinary people could easily complete.

The remaining companions had already returned to Malyshev with the security vehicle.

Therefore, at this moment, he only needed to set the destination and could stroll leisurely on the deck, leaving the rest to the professional team to handle.

Facing the surging sea, Xu Ning couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

This was a rare moment of peace since he arrived here.

At this moment, the foreman Vokoso walked over and handed him a document: "Mr., please review this food supply list."

Xu Ning looked at him slightly surprised: "Food list?"

Vokoso nodded in confirmation: "That's right.

To reach the destination, we must pass through Istanbul, the Star Moon City Strait, and Çanakkale, enter the Mediterranean Sea, then go through the Suez Canal and the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait to the Aka Sea."
