Chapter 433 Either have its own power or be broken into pieces
Strait Management Office.
"No, the hull of this Oriental Sea Blockade is too big, and it has no power. It can never pass through the strait." In the office, Mirza Ouru, who is responsible for the strait navigation review, shook his head repeatedly: "We will not agree to this ship Through the Channel.”
"How is it possible? Our maritime rescue company has rich experience. We can guarantee that driving this ship through the strait is far easier and safer than driving a 150,000-ton oil tanker through the strait!" Company leader Timmermans Very annoyed.
"Mr. Timmermans, you are not a newcomer. You should know the rules here." Mirzaouglu said: "That is a large warship with a displacement of 60,000 to 70,000 tons. It does not have any power device. In case of an accident, there are It may hit the Istanbul Bridge and block the strait. No matter what its name is or where it is registered, in our eyes, it is a warship! According to the 1936 Montreal Straits Convention, ordinary merchant ships can navigate freely. But if it involves a large warship, it must pass our review, and now, we will not approve it to pass through the strait!"
"Then we can use more tugboats and implement a safer plan." Timmermans said.
“No matter how many tugs you use, my answer is NO! If it wants to pass through our strait, there are only two ways. Either you let the ship have its own power, or you break it into pieces and transport it away!”
Timmermans's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Mirzaoglu's back and clenched his fists.
Isn’t it just because you occupy a suitable position that you can be so arrogant? You are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of getting beaten?
Mirzaoglu left the conference room and returned to the office, where a familiar old friend was already waiting.
“Pearson, please rest assured, we will never let that warship pass through the strait.”
"As long as it can't pass through the strait, the East will not get this warship, whether it is to be diverted to a blockade or for other purposes," Pearson said.
"certainly."
Both of them smiled.
Timmermans returned to the hotel with a gloomy face and saw his employer.
"I'm very sorry, Ms. Vitalia, I didn't complete the mission. They refused our ship to pass through the strait on the grounds that the ship was too big. This is a **** reason!" Timmermans was extremely angry.
“Well, was the conversation between you recorded?” Vitalia asked.
“At your request, we secretly recorded it,” Timmermans said, turning on the small device he carried with him.
There was a conversation between the two people inside.
Qin Tao listened carefully to the side until the last sentence.
“No matter how many tugs you use, my answer is NO! If it wants to pass through our strait, there are only two ways. Either you let the ship have its own power, or you break it into pieces and transport it away!”
"What we want is the last sentence." Qin Tao said: "Mr. Timmermans, now, please spread this news as soon as possible. Our Dongfang Sea City Wall, we want to be able to There are only two ways to pass through the Tuji Strait."
Timmermans was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, do you plan to install an engine on it? I'm afraid it won't be easy, right? Installing the propeller requires a dock!"
If only the engine inside is installed, it may be possible to modify it at any time. However, to install the propeller, the bottom of the ship must be exposed, otherwise the giant ship will easily sink.
Timmermans doesn’t think this is an easy task.
After hearing what Timmermans said, Qin Tao smiled: "There are always ways. Our Mingzhou Group is a world-famous shipbuilding company, and there are many ways. This ship must be towed to our port quickly, can we still Earn money for modifications.”
Method?
Timmermans thought for a moment: "You don't know how to use an external engine, do you?"
Qin Tao's history of struggle has also been unearthed by many people. When Qin Tao helped Mingzhou Shipyard come back to life, the first project he worked on was the big flight. He attached multiple engines to the back of the speedboat to make it fly as fast as flying. Now this This technology has been spread all over the world. Although the things it does are despicable, this technology is still talked about.
Now, people are asking for power, Mr. Qin shouldn’t install an external engine, right?
This is not the same level!
Even if a 500-horsepower external engine is installed, it may not be useful. It would be like an ant using all its strength to push an elephant.
Qin Tao smiled: "Keep it secret for the time being. In short, this matter needs to be spread to the whole world. It is best for reporters to interview Mirzaoglu so that he cannot deny it in the future."
“Okay.” Timmermans nodded.
Watching him leave, Vitalia frowned slightly: "Qin, can we put power on that ship?"
“Of course not.”
“Then why are you still pushing for this?”
"Because I have other options. By the way, I need to go out now."
“Where to go?”
“Visiting an old friend, do you want to come with me?”
"certainly."
Vitalia was very happy for Qin Tao's invitation.
The afternoon sun shone brightly in the office, and Senyavin's body was bathed in the sunlight, which was very warm.
“The Varyag is really big enough, but it’s a pity that it looks rusty now. It really has no military value.” Senyavin said.
After hearing what he said, the superior leader Kelve Ruikelu who was sitting opposite nodded: "Yes, it should have no military value. The green innovation company has prepared everything, but now it cannot pass through the strait. It is probably going to lose money. .”
“That woman has a Moscow background, and I don’t know whether to use Moscow connections.” Senyavin said.
"Probably not. Last time it was because her life was threatened, so the man in Moscow was very angry. Now it's just an ordinary business issue. If he wants to interfere in everything, he is too spoiled to his daughter." Kelu shook his head: "You can't grow into an eagle without going through some ups and downs."
“Report, there is someone outside asking to see you.”
"who?"
“Mr. Qin from Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, and Ms. Vitalia, the head of the Green Innovation Company.”
"Okay, let them come in." After Senyavin finished speaking, he glanced at Kevirikolu: "Do I want to change rooms?"
"No, I'll listen to it too." Kevrekolu said: "The Mingzhou Group gave us the aircraft carrier design drawings and asked for a price increase. We will take this opportunity to ask them to give up this unfriendly behavior!"
Senyavin nodded: "Yes, we can take advantage of this opportunity to get some benefits!"
For native chicken people, what they like to do most is to take advantage of the situation and take advantage of both sides.
Qin Tao and Vitalia walked into the room. When they saw Keviriculu, Qin Tao was also stunned. How could he meet such a superior leader?
“Mr. Qin, let me introduce to you, this is His Excellency Keverekoru.” Senyavin said: “He is my old leader.”
"It's a great honor." Qin Tao greeted him warmly: "We have prepared some small gifts for you, please accept them."
Vitalia took out the gift.
The things were not big, just two small boxes. Vitalia opened the boxes skillfully.
Under the sunlight, the things inside glowed dazzlingly!
diamond!
Since arriving in the Rainbow Kingdom, Qin Tao has acquired a batch of diamonds. Although this kind of broken stone has little value, as more people like it, it has become more and more touted, and the price has also risen.
Now these two are not small in size, and they are priceless at first glance.
Everyone opened their eyes wide.
Qin Tao smiled, took the diamond from Vitalia's hand, and handed it to the two people in front of him. After they took it, they all smiled.
"Mr. Qin, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly." Xeniyawen said with a smile.
"As you all know, the person next to me is the person in charge of the Green Venture Company. He just purchased the Oriental Sea Dacheng from Ermao. As a result, he was refused passage by your relevant departments. If it cannot get out of the strait, this ship will If we can't reach the East, our Mingzhou Group will also lose a business of refitting ships, so I'm here to ask for help, hoping to help."
After hearing Qin Tao's words, Senyavin wanted to nod, but Kevrekolu said: "Mr. Qin, Mingzhou Group is quite powerful, and natural gas ships are the most profitable business. Can you be interested in refitting?" This ship’s business?”
This question is somewhat acute.
Qin Tao continued to explain.
"There are rumors outside that you plan to transform it into an aircraft carrier." Kevirikolu's words were simply aggressive. Senyavin on the side was a little worried. For the sake of such a large carat diamond, you can't Can't you speak more tactfully?
"This is also the purpose of our coming. We would like to invite you to board the Dongfang Sea City Wall and conduct an inspection. After the inspection is completed, we hope that you can issue a document proving that it cannot be used for military purposes. , indicating that this ship is a civilian ship."
This is what Qin Tao came for: According to the Montreal Strait Convention, merchant ships can pass freely!
Whether the Oriental Sea Walled City is a warship or a civilian ship is not determined by the management agency of the strait, that is, Mirza Ouru. Instead, it needs to be determined by professionals. As long as the person in front of you issues this certification document , then there is no need for review and it will pass directly!
Qin Tao is very generous. Go up and see if it can still be used for military purposes. Hearing is false and seeing is true.
"You should also know that our Mingzhou Group has the ability to design and build aircraft carriers. There is no need for us to look far away. If our navy needs it, we can build it ourselves." Qin Tao finished speaking and looked across the way. The two said: "We have cooperation. You can recognize our strength and purchasing the design drawings from us is proof."
“Mr. Qin, when will this design be completed?” Senyavin was looking forward to it.
“It will be almost done once the Dongfanghai Ducheng passes through the Tuji Strait.” Qin Tao said.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down.
What does it mean?
This is a threat to them!
If the Dongfang Sea City Wall cannot pass through the Tuji Strait, then they will not be able to get the aircraft carrier design drawings, and the design funds will be wasted!
Senyavin's face was ugly. He was responsible for this matter. Who would have thought that such a change would happen?
Kevirikolu couldn't help it: "We will not accept any threats!"
"No, please don't get excited. This is not a threat, this is just a transaction. I am a businessman." Qin Tao said: "I just want to do business, and business, isn't it just an exchange of interests? Each of us takes what we have. It’s what you need, isn’t it good?”
“But the design drawings should have been handed over to us in the first place!”
"But you have repeatedly revised the design intention!" Qin Tao said: "We have already said last time that additional design funds are needed. Now, in order to show our sincerity, we can waive this part of the cost. We are even working on the design drawings. After delivery, if you still have ideas and require changes, we can also help and change the design for free, what do you think?"
Vitalia looked on with a smile. Although Vitalia was the nominal person in charge of Green Innovation Company, she still had to listen to Qin Tao on many things, and Qin Tao was also very powerful and could accurately Seize the opponent's lifeline.
Now she is a little curious. This is too coincidental. Could it be that Qin Tao had planned it in advance? Then he is too amazing, right? It’s like a prophet!
"In other words, if we don't issue this certification document, we won't be able to get the design drawings?" Keviriculu continued to ask.
"No, no, of course that's not what I mean. You misunderstood. These are two things after all. Since we have signed the agreement, we will fulfill the agreement. However, you will need to settle the relevant design fees to us at that time. , if you need to make changes, you will have to add money. We all act in accordance with the contract, so we don’t pay attention to these favors."
Qin Tao said very sincerely: "As a business person, I prefer to make friends with people. Many friends lead to many paths. I would rather make less money in business than find a way out. If in this matter, If you are willing to act with kindness, then we will be good friends from now on and can continue to take care of many business matters. For example, if you get the aircraft carrier design drawing, it is only the first step. You will definitely build an aircraft carrier in the future. I wonder if you can produce the high-strength steel required by the aircraft carrier. Our Mingzhou Group can already produce steel of the Gigapa level. It is no problem to use it as deck steel for the aircraft carrier."
When he said this, Qin Tao sighed with emotion: "There are always some people who are making random guesses. If we really want an aircraft carrier, we can just build it ourselves. Why go to such trouble? Unexpectedly, the Green Venture Company has shown such kindness , but the world thinks so. This world is full of malice! Where are our friends?"
This sentence is very sincere and helpless.
Kevirikolu and Senyavin both shined.
That’s right, it’s not just about the design drawings. After they have the design drawings, they plan to start construction themselves! This requires a large amount of steel, and only a few manufacturers in the world can produce certain high-strength steel.
If you help Mingzhou Group in this matter, you can purchase a batch of steel at a low price in the future!
"You probably also know that we are building warships, so we have many connections. If you have any ideas about the J-31A project, we can also help." Qin Tao said: "We Orientals have always been particular about reciprocating kindness. "
"Okay, as long as we inspect it and think that the Dongfang Sea Blockade is not worth repairing, then we can issue you this certificate!" Keviriculu nodded.
No matter who you are, interests always come first. If you have enough interests, what else is there to say?
Anyway, it’s just a certificate, it’s not a big deal.
Moreover, you can also go up to the Varyag to see the afterglow of the empire.
That afternoon, a helicopter landed on the Varyag. This made many people envious. They all heard that it had anti-aircraft missiles such as Stinger. No one dared to take the risk. What was this helicopter? origin? How can you go up there?
Kevirikolu and Senyavin's boots stepped on the flight deck. At this time, a gust of wind happened to blow, and rust filled the air, just like a sandstorm.
Both of them frowned. Can such rags be used for military purposes? Are you afraid of sinking when docked at the dock?
“Everyone, you can go inside and have a look.” Qin Tao warmly invited: “After entering, you should know that it has no military potential.”
So, everyone walked downstairs, looking at the desolate scene, looking at the various cuts, and looking at the space for the anti-ship missile launch tube in front.
"This design is such a failure. The huge space in the front is wasted. It would be okay if it could be opened up, but we don't dare. We don't know the strength of the structure. We are afraid of collapse if we open it up. When it is transformed into a blockage, the space here will be blocked. It's useless. It's just a resting place for staff." Qin Tao introduced: "The aircraft carrier we designed for you will never be so useless."
The sun sets to the west, reflecting in the reinforced concrete of the city. When it returns to the deck, the shadows of several people are stretched out.
"That's right, this ship has no military value and can only be used as a civilian facility." Keviriculu said: "We can issue this certificate! Please keep your promise."
“Of course, no problem. As long as we get the certificate, we can show our sincerity immediately.”
“What sincerity?”
“We will send you a J-31 fighter jet.”
Senyavin became excited: "Mr. Qin, you are such a friend!"
The next morning, Mirzaoglu went to work happily, and received news that surprised him.
"Those idiots don't know what's going on in their heads. They actually issued a certificate that the ship cannot be used for military purposes! Now, the tugboat Nikolai Chikel is towing the Vostok Sea Blockade, planning to Through Turkey Strait!" Pearson said angrily: "You must stop him, and you must not let this ship pass!"
"How is it possible?" Mirzaoglu was shocked by the news: "Shouldn't they stand on the same position as us?"
“I don’t know how they were persuaded. Damn it. Now, solve this problem quickly!”
“Even civilian ships can’t do it!” Mirzaoglu said: “That ship is too big and will seriously affect the safety of our shipping routes. We must stop them immediately! I want to hold a press conference immediately!”
This is the only solution that Mirzaoglu can think of.
Soon, the conference room was filled with reporters. They were reporters from major newspapers and TV stations who were paying attention to the Oriental Sea Blockade. They hoped to get first-class news.
"Currently, relevant departments have verified that the Oriental Sea Blockade cannot be used for military purposes. However, its hull is too large and it does not have a power system. Therefore, we will not allow this ship to pass. It will cause danger to us! "
“We have issued a serious warning to the relevant tugboat companies, the Green Venture Company, the owner of the Oriental Sea Dacheng, and other organizations to stop this dangerous behavior immediately, otherwise we will stop us. At that time, any losses caused , it’s all the other party’s responsibility!”
“Excuse me, what conditions must be met to pass?”
“I heard that you have made a request to the person in charge of the tugboat company?”
“Yes, if you want to escape safely, unless the ship has its own power system, or it must be broken into pieces and transported away!”
Mirzaouglu’s words quickly spread throughout the world through television, newspapers, and various news. Everyone who paid attention to this matter was watching and watching the next development.
It is impossible to break it into pieces, because the ship will be used as a sea blockade when it returns. What if it is broken into pieces? Should I go back and assemble it again?
As for having power, this has aroused the imagination of countless people.
Hang the engine at the stern, or directly weld the stern of a decommissioned oil tanker? Countless people are speculating.
That afternoon.
"Even if it is for civilian use, without a power system, we can threaten the safety of our bridge and prevent them from passing through." Mirzaourou said proudly.
"Yes, they must not be allowed to pass, but I always have a bad feeling that Mr. Qin must be preparing some back-up moves." At this time, Pearson had given up any hope. He knew that his opponent Very cunning.
Yesterday, without realizing it, the weather changed. What about today?
“Report.” At this moment, a person walked in.
"What's wrong?"
“We have just received news that the Shenzhou floating dock is passing through the strait and entering the Black Sea.”
Shenzhou floating dock?
When hearing the news, everyone's expressions changed.
