Chapter 1019 Ah San: I also want to share the warship!
Ah San also wants to participate!
Hearing the news, Qin Tao also felt a sense of astonishment.
Ah San is really thick-skinned!
The big dog owners think so too.
In the most splendid big house of the big dog family, the representatives they invited were discussing the project of sharing warships. Salman, who was in charge of the organization, was also very happy. The plan proposed by Mr. Qin was very good!
However, while everyone was having a heated discussion, a subordinate hurriedly walked in and said in Salman's ear: "Your Excellency Salman, the Asan Navy representative is here."
“Asan Navy? What are they doing here?”
“They said they came here to maintain peace in our region.”
“Who led the team?”
“Sunil.”
Hearing that this person was coming, Salman's expression became more solemn. However, he had no other choice at this time. Since the other party is here, he can't help but see him, right?
“Invite him in, let’s listen and see what he has to say,” Salman said.
Sunil, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in, which was in sharp contrast to the people in robes and turbans. He stood in the middle of the hall and looked at everyone.
"Everyone, on behalf of the Asan Navy, I am here to participate in the shared warship plan. Since you are here to maintain peace in our region, you shouldn't refuse us Asan, right? After all, our Asan Navy is the most powerful in the Indian Ocean. exist."
Just this sentence made everyone present feel a little contempt.
What does this mean? Is it showing off?
"The recent war has made us very concerned. The affairs of our region do not allow outsiders to interfere. They should be negotiated and resolved by the forces in our region." Sunil continued: "Unfortunately, we were not united in the past. Now, as long as we can unite and form a combined fleet, we will be the most powerful existence in this region!"
This sentence actually touched everyone's heart, and everyone's face looked better.
"So, I heard that you are going to host the shared warship plan, so we came here. Sharing warships is also for the joint fleet." Sunil was very satisfied with everyone's attitude. He looked at Salman: "Your Excellency, Salman, am I right?"
Salman nodded.
"So, even though we didn't accept the invitation, we came anyway. Although we have different beliefs, we are a regional power. In particular, our navy is also the number one here. We have owned Asia's first aircraft carrier since the 1950s. We had a dual aircraft carrier formation in the 1970s, and now we have built our own aircraft carrier, which will be put into service immediately. We have the richest experience in operating aircraft carriers."
Salman seemed to have thought of something, and his face became gloomy.
"We believe that since you want to share warships, you can't just share destroyers, but also share aircraft carriers. Sharing your aircraft carrier with us who have the most experience in operating aircraft carriers can allow this aircraft carrier to exert its greatest power." Su Neil gushed: "This can also reflect your sincerity in forming a joint fleet."
"You have a lot of experience? You are just operating an old second-hand broken aircraft carrier. When have you ever operated a modern aircraft carrier?" A senior naval officer present at the scene couldn't bear it anymore.
The aircraft carrier USS Fahd returned to China and became the pride of the Goudahu Navy. Before the hands were warm, someone actually came and said, in order to show your sincerity, give us the aircraft carrier!
Isn't this too thick-skinned?
They have no close relationship with Ah San at all. They just want to give Ah San some face. If Ah San doesn’t want face, then they won’t be polite!
“That’s right, you are not welcome here!”
“We brothers share warships, who do you Asan think? Why should you share them with us?”
Hearing the voices of opposition around him, Sunil was not afraid or frustrated. He looked at Salman: "Your Majesty Salman, what do you mean? Do you still welcome us?"
Salman suppressed the anger in his heart. As a qualified politician, he must keep his emotions and anger hidden.
“Of course you are welcome, but we are only talking about sharing destroyers. The aircraft carrier is the most precious weapon of our country’s navy and is not included in the sharing.”
"Okay, then we don't ask for shared aircraft carriers. Since it is shared destroyers, then based on the size of our Asan Navy, we ask for sharing five of them. It is enough for the other countries to share one each. Only in this way can we truly Give full play to the combat effectiveness of these warships." Sunil continued: "If you don't even agree to this condition, then you have no sincerity. This plan to share warships is just a little trick of yours, and there is no real maintenance of regional peace at all. the meaning of."
Salman reacted: Ah San’s proposal to share aircraft carriers was just a gimmick. Ah San also knew that it was impossible for our country to share its warships with them. Once our country rejects the sharing of aircraft carriers, can we continue to refuse to share destroyers?
If he refuses, Ah San will spread rumors everywhere, saying that our shared warships have no sincerity, and that joint fleets and maintaining regional peace are just lies.
If we share it with Ah San... Are you kidding? What kind of existence are five warships? Doesn't Ah San himself know? They actually shamelessly asked themselves to share five 052CE destroyers? If Ah San gets this kind of warship, he will definitely not contribute to protecting the balance of the region. He will only become the **** warship of Ah San Navy, making Ah San Navy the strongest in the region!
Salman's face was gloomy. At this moment, the assistant came in again and said in Salman's ear: "Your Excellency Salman, Mingzhou Group has sent a telegram."
"What telegram? Bring it here." Salman's face was filled with excitement. What Mr. Qin sent must be timely.
When Qin Tao heard in Isfahan that Asan had come to join in the fun, Sunil had just got off the plane and went to the capital of the big dog family to stir up trouble. Qin Tao thought for a while and called the Mingzhou Group headquarters to ask them I sent a formal telegram, and that was it. It took a while, but I still caught up.
Looking at the contents of the telegram, Salman was extremely excited.
"Everyone, I just received a telegram from the Mingzhou Group." Salman looked at everyone with a proud look on his face: "The Mingzhou Group solemnly declares that in order to maintain regional stability and peace, warships exported to us are only allowed to operate in Activities in the sea near us cannot be farther than two thousand kilometers!"
For any buyer, this kind of restriction is infuriating. Why shouldn’t he be able to drive his own warship around the world?
But now, this condition made everyone present excited.
They have never wanted to rule the world. They just want to fight for their own interests. For them, it is enough for warships to travel two thousand kilometers.
Furthermore, Mr. Qin’s condition does not restrict them, but restricts Asan, because the geographical center distance between Asan and Goudahu is 3,498 kilometers, and the distance between the nearest ports of the two countries is more than 2,000 kilometers.
In other words, even if Asan Navy obtains these shared warships, it cannot drive the warships back to their own ports!
What else can this do to the Asan Navy? It has become completely useless!
So, Asan Navy should just go to bed and come here to make a profit by using the banner of shared warships. Sorry, there is nothing we can do about it. Mr. Qin does not agree.
Sunil's face instantly turned ugly.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sunil." Salman turned his head and looked at Sunil, whose face had turned the color of pig liver: "Mingzhou Group has introduced this new regulation, and we have no choice. You want to share warships, we can It’s for you, but you can only choose ports in our countries to dock.”
“Humph, you are the users of these warships, Mingzhou Group does not have the power to restrict you!”
"Why don't they have power? When arms suppliers export weapons, in order to avoid threatening themselves, they will introduce some measures. When Dongfang purchased the Su-27 from Lao Maozi, Lao Maozi proposed that these Dongfang aircraft are absolutely We can’t place it in the north because we’re afraid of threatening Lao Maozi.”
“This telegram is just a piece of waste paper. Even if we send the warship back, what can they do?”
"What?" Sunil said in surprise: "These warships were purchased by you. Why do they sound like they belong to the East? How can you accept such conditions?"
The control right is in the hands of the owner, that is, the big dog owner. What is unacceptable about this? Other brother countries will not have any objection to the control right. After all, the only warships that can be obtained for free are those like Asan who clearly want it. Only those who possess it will be dissatisfied with this method of operation. "Your Excellency Sunil, it turns out that you also know that these warships were purchased by us, so the conditions between us and the Easterners have nothing to do with you, right?"
Salman was very happy. He originally planned to reject Sunil, but he just didn't know how to refuse. Now, the telegram given to them by President Qin gave them a better reason, and they didn't have to worry about falling out with Asan. fall out.
Now, by saying this, Salman has given the other party enough face.
"I'm very sorry, but you are not suitable for this batch of shared warships. You should go back." Salman said: "However, if there is an opportunity in the future, if you want to join our joint fleet, we will also welcome you. When the time comes, You can drive your own aircraft carrier and jointly contribute to maintaining regional peace. We can afford to wait for ten or eight years."
This is a sarcasm. Not everyone can build an aircraft carrier. Everyone knows what Asan's aircraft carrier is.
"Hmph. You will regret it!" Sunil's purpose of coming was not achieved, and he was extremely angry. He left a word of complaint and turned away.
Such a good opportunity to get in touch with Eastern warships turned out to be like a flower in the mirror!
When they heard that Goudahu wanted to share warships, Asan Navy was moved. When Goudahu Navy entered the Indian Ocean, they sent warships to follow them and saw with their own eyes the powerful aircraft carrier and the escorting destroyers next to it.
At that time, Ah San felt envious and jealous. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not come in and get a share of the pie?
After all, they are the bosses in the region!
At the same time, this also has a deeper purpose. If they cannot join, then a powerful force will appear in this area. This force will even be bigger than Asan's navy, although they will not come to Asan. They are still dissatisfied with the navy's troubles.
Must join in.
On the way here, Sunil had already thought of a response plan: first lie about asking to share an aircraft carrier, and the other party would definitely not agree. Then he would ask to share five warships, and the other party would definitely not agree. After some bargaining, It's okay to get two or three destroyers.
That is an Aegis battleship with four phased array radars! The combat effectiveness of that kind of battleship is quite powerful! After they got it, they took it apart and studied it, mastered the above technology, and then copied it themselves.
That's right, the Asan Navy really planned this. In their eyes, if the Easterners can handle it, they can handle it too. If they want to dismantle the mapping and imitation, they can have their own Asan Shield battleship.
It’s a pity that with the telegram from Mingzhou Group, everything disappeared and they couldn’t get anything!
Sunil's face was extremely ugly, but as soon as he left the splendid big house, someone came to greet him from outside: "Your Excellency Sunil, since you are here, how about you come to our embassy to sit down?"
Lambert, the American diplomat who is a big dog!
"Okay." Sunil nodded. He had already guessed the American's intention, which was to continue to beat the big dog. However, as long as it is good for Ah San, Ah San should be able to gain more benefits through this opportunity.
"Get in the car."
The people at the door naturally saw it and reported the news back. Everyone who was excited was immediately poured cold water on them.
"The Americans are wooing Ah San and using this method to disgust us." Salman said: "They made this statement in front of us just to beat us. However, no matter how they win over Ah San, they can't help us." It would change our decision."
“That’s right, as long as we unite, we won’t be afraid of others!”
“How much more benefits can the Americans give them if they win over Asan again? This time, the ten Jubail-class destroyers can be divided among Lao Ba’s three!”
No matter how the Americans win over, they also let Ah San spend money. When the Americans support Ah San, they can win over their good friend Lao Ba. Originally they only planned to give Lao Ba one ship, but now they can give them three or even more. In this way , Lao Ba can contain and fight against Ah San.
Lao Ba has to thank Ah San. Because of this move, Lao Ba's navy also began to switch from gun to gun.
In this chaotic and complicated situation, Qin Tao left Parthia and returned to his motherland. After I came back, I was called by my father-in-law.
“How about it, has the contract been signed?”
“Yes, there are ten 052CEs. The big investors have already paid the full price of two ships in advance, which is US$2 billion.”
“One billion of them belong to our navy.” Wu Shengli said excitedly: “With this money, we should be able to add two more 052DLs and two more 055s to our navy, right?”
Qin Tao frowned: "Dad, your request is too much. Two 052DLs are good."
“Then there are three 052DLs, all of which are under construction at the Qiongzhou No. 3 Shipyard! Our navy has been waiting for this money for a long time! The 055 has not been launched into service yet and needs to be debugged, so we are not in a hurry.”
Qin Tao really had nothing to do with his father-in-law's rude request. The third shipyard had just been built, and it was just when orders were needed. However, building these three 052DLs together would be equivalent to his own efforts. .
“Dad, you have to let us earn some.”
"Isn't it enough to make enough money from the big dogs? Besides, now that 052C can be exported, there will definitely be a lot of people coming to purchase. You can make a lot of money. The four-sided phased array radar can also be installed on Lao Maozi's warships. ." Wu Shengli said: "Our navy takes the risk of leaking secrets."
Seeing that Qin Tao was still unmoved, Wu Shengli continued: "The research and development funds for ballistic missile nuclear submarines will be allocated soon. By then, the project will still be yours, and your Mingzhou Group will have plenty of opportunities to make money."
Ballistic missile submarine!
Hearing what Wu Shengli said, Qin Tao became interested.
“Has the shape of Julang-3 been determined?”
“Yes, Dongfeng-41 has made a breakthrough, and Julang-3 has also completed its appearance design, so our new generation of ballistic missile nuclear submarines can finally start construction!”
“Is it called 094 or 096?”
"This has not yet been determined, but the superiors are leaning towards 096. The vacancy of 094 will easily confuse some people and make some people look for the non-existent 094, thus wasting their time and energy, and it can also have the effect of The effect of intimidation.”
Nuclear submarines are too expensive. China has only solved the problem of whether they have them and will never build them in large quantities.
Sometimes it is necessary to pretend it is not there, and when it is not there it is necessary to pretend it is not there. Use the imaginary to make it real, and the real thing to make it fictitious. This is the art of war.
“What is the size of this missile?” This is what Qin Tao is looking forward to most.
“The launch tube has a diameter of 2.4 meters, a length of 14 meters, and a launch weight of 60 tons.” Wu Shengli said.
These parameters are confidential, but Mingzhou Group builds nuclear submarines, so these dimensions must be known. And he was talking about the launch tube.
Qin Tao frowned: "So big? It seems that our 096 still has to have a turtle back!"
The largest bending machine of the Mingzhou Group can only roll submarine pressure hulls with a diameter of 13.5 meters. This size can accommodate the Julang-1 missile, but the Julang-2 is not enough. After all, the Julang-2 has a diameter of 2 meters. The length is 13.3 meters. As for Julang-3, the length has increased to 14 meters, which requires a turtle back.
“Yes, our technology is still not as good as the West. To achieve a range of more than 10,000 kilometers, plus the missile head, the size must be larger, which is already much smaller than the Dongfeng 41.”
“Okay, then our Mingzhou Group will improve the design plan based on this size. Dad, is there anything else?”
“It’s nothing big. The fourth-generation heavy-duty stealth aircraft is about to fly for the first time. If you have time..."
