Great warships

Chapter 385

There are very few flights to Bandar Abbas, and most of them land in the capital of Partha, and this flight from the Land of Abundance is no exception.

The journey was long, but with Ye Xiaoqian beside her, she was chattering all the time. I have to say that she was very capable in social interaction. After saying this, Qin Tao didn't realize how exciting the journey was. lonely.

However, Qin Tao knows in his heart that no matter how beautiful and enthusiastic this woman is on the surface, she is like a poisonous scorpion in her heart. As long as she is not careful, she will become her delicious meal.

Qin Tao doesn't want to be someone else's food.

Finally, the passenger plane is about to land.

"President Qin, where do you plan to live next?" Ye Xiaoqian had a smile on her face, as if she was asking casually, but actually she had other plans.

As long as Qin Tao mentioned the hotel where he was staying, Ye Xiaoqian would definitely follow suit, what a coincidence, we also live there, maybe the rooms are next to each other.

"Well, I don't know too well." Qin Tao said, "Where we live depends entirely on the arrangement of the host."

Sure enough, after Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang got off the plane, a car drove directly to the airport, without even entering the terminal building and leaving the airport, the car took Qin Tao and Xu Zhengyang away.

Ye Xiaoqian and Song Jie put on scarves and wrapped themselves tightly, only their eyes were exposed, and their eyes were full of unwillingness.

I just got off the plane and separated again, and the other party ran away in a car, what should I do next?
They have no intelligence power here!

"Let's go to the hotel first and listen to the news. If they go to the Abbas Shipyard, we can follow." Ye Xiaoqian said.

The business of Mingzhou Group here is the Abbas Shipyard, so the other party will go there in all likelihood.

Song Jie nodded.

In the car, Qin Tao was still reminiscing with his old friends.

"Husseini, I really didn't expect that you would come to pick us up."

"I heard that you are coming, I came here on purpose. Qin, when we purchased the MiG-29, our project went smoothly, and the superiors were very satisfied." Husseini said: "You are coming this time, we hope The cooperation between each other will go to the next level.”

"I also came here for the cooperation between each other." Qin Tao said: "I brought a batch of materials, I hope I can introduce them to your superiors."

There was a gleam in Husseini's eyes.

"However, on the way here, we encountered some accidents." Qin Tao said.

Immediately, Husseini became serious: "What accident?"

"There are two women sitting next to us, who have been communicating with us. From their words, I can feel that they are intentionally or unintentionally taking my words, and want to find out the real situation of my coming here. I I think they may have other plans."

Husseini's face immediately showed an angry expression: "Hmph, then they must be sent by the Kingdom of David. Over the years, the Kingdom of David has been doing intelligence work against us, and even tried to assassinate our Leader, please rest assured, Mr. Qin, we will let them disappear here completely."

With a few words, Ye Xiaoqian and Song Jie were resolved. Boss Qin's trick of killing people with a knife was too slippery, and Xu Zhengyang at the side was very moved.

"However, it may be that we made a mistake. In short, arrest them first, and then see what valuable information we can get. What to do in the end is up to you to arrange." Qin Tao said.

Husseini nodded.

The car did not drive into the urban area, but entered a suburban manor. Here, Qin Tao saw several bearded beards, some of which were even the ones that often appeared on TV.

"President Qin, you are our best friend." The leader shook Qin Tao's hand: "You helped us build a modern shipyard, and then helped us update our fighter jets. We are very grateful to you."

"Well, it's all what we should do." Qin Tao said very politely: "There is black liquid gold under your feet. This is your honor and your misfortune. It is because of these things that you will Being targeted by the money wolf."

"Yes." Hearing Qin Tao's conclusion, they agreed very much.

"We have noticed that the competition in the sky has entered the era of stealth machines, and the future will inevitably be dominated by stealth machines. We have an advanced design for stealth machines. I don't know if you are interested."

"President Qin, please speak."

Everyone just hit it off!

Therefore, Qin Tao came up with a design plan.

"First of all, the appearance of the stealth aircraft is very different from that of ordinary aircraft. However, if you want to make the aircraft capable of fighting, you cannot completely compromise for the sake of stealth like the F-117. The current appearance is what we have experienced. After careful research, the best plan can achieve the best compromise in terms of stealth and mobility."

In fact, these people have already seen the press conference in Land of Abundance and saw this model, but seeing it on TV and newspapers is definitely different from seeing it in person.

What Qin Tao introduced is actually the level of military fans, but in the eyes of these people, it seems that a new door has opened.

"President Qin, what you introduced is great!" The people present immediately made a decision: "We need such an advanced fighter, but... are you sure you will deliver this fighter to us?"

"Why not? Didn't we sell you a lot of weapons at the beginning? Take your air force as an example. Aren't those J-[-] fighters purchased from us?"

"However, the times have changed, and the international situation is also changing!"

"Yes, what you said is a problem." Qin Tao said: "So, just in case, at an appropriate time, you can announce to the public that you are also developing a brand new stealth machine."

The eyes of the people present brightened.

Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart, wondering what Lockheed would think, the high-end stealth machine has become a rotten street.

The Land of Abundance has it, the Anxi Country also has it, and some countries will also have it in the future. Everyone is building a stealth machine. For a while, it seems that this thing is easy to make.

Believe it or not, just build momentum.

"In the future, you can say openly that these stealth machines were produced by yourself."

"But how are you going to deliver it to us?"

Everyone knows that the so-called self-production is just a cover-up. In the end, they must still receive Dongfang fighters, but how to receive them?

"Of course I flew over."

"But our territories don't border each other! We either pass through the Imperial Cemetery or pass through the old bus. If we secretly ask them to open the airspace to us, once the secret is leaked, it will attract suspicion from the outside world."

"Everyone, don't forget, we are a stealth aircraft!" Qin Tao said, "As long as the pilots who are not careless don't turn off the navigation lights, how can they be discovered by the poor air defense forces in the Imperial Cemetery?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Yes, what are you afraid of? Our aircraft is a stealth aircraft. Even if it flies through the other party's airspace, the other party does not know. What is there to be afraid of?

"Then, there is only the last question. Do you want to invest one billion US dollars to become our largest foreign customer for this project? You can enjoy the priority of obtaining the aircraft, and you can also produce some parts of the aircraft. , your purchase price must be the lowest."

As long as Parthia invests one billion U.S. dollars, the project will definitely succeed even without financial support from other countries.

The J-40 cost only 87 billion yuan. Based on the current exchange rate, this is [-] billion yuan, which is more than doubled.

Before 94, a dual-track exchange rate system was implemented. The exchange rate at the beginning of 94 was 5.7. However, except for people on business, it was impossible to use this exchange rate to convert to US dollars. The exchange rate on the black market was the real reaction. In the middle of 94, the merger was carried out, so that the exchange rate soared all the way to 8.7, but the economy did not fluctuate much, and in this way, the exchange rate was adjusted.

For people like Qin Tao who earn dollars, it is of course beneficial.

In the past, when earning US dollars back, according to the domestic exchange rate, they could only get a very low RMB. Now, they can exchange a large amount of RMB, which is also very beneficial to their exports.

Qin Tao has already put forward his own opinion, and it depends on how the other party reacts.

"President Qin, I'm afraid it's still a bit difficult for us to spend one billion dollars to support this project."

They want to get an advanced fourth-generation aircraft. The old enemy who fought next door for eight years has no power to fight back against the F-117. They see it, but they also have to consider their own reality. Situation!

In the past few years, the economy of Parthia has continued to decline. In 90, there were still more than 1000 billion chicken farts, but in 93, there were only more than 600 billion left.

That is, according to the highest, defense expenditure accounts for 18% of the country's fart, which is about [-] billion US dollars.

However, Anxi State purchased Dongfang's missile and other production lines, and purchased MiG-29 fighter jets. These all cost money, so it is impossible for Anxi State to spend one billion dollars on the J-31A project.

Even, this project is still risky. After all, everything is just what Qin Tao said. No one of them knows the specific performance. Just relying on Qin Tao's words, they will spend a billion dollars?
So now, the drama of crying poor has begun.

Of course, Qin Tao knew that it would be difficult for them to come up with one billion US dollars just relying on the current foundation. In this way, the water will flow for a long time, and there will be no pain in the flesh.However, before he could speak, someone came in and whispered something in Husseini's ear.

Husseini's face was first stunned, and then happy.

"Boss Qin, you mentioned those two women in the car, and we have already controlled them." Husseini said, "These two people have recruited everything they know."

"So fast?"

There was a smile on Husseini's face. With them, there are naturally many ways to pry someone's mouth open.

"Who are they?"

"They are not sent by the Kingdom of David, but the people opposite you."

"How to be sure?"

Qin Tao knew that Husseini and the others were most worried about the spies sent by the Kingdom of David, so they would inevitably use all kinds of unimaginable cruel punishments to torture the two women. If these two women could prove that they were not from the Kingdom of David , You have to tell some valuable information.

"They provided a lot of information, one of which may be of interest to you." Husseini said, "From the port of Marseilles in France, a cargo ship named Maersk was dispatched. Ten Mirage 2000 fighter."

Phantom 2000?Qin Tao's eyes also flickered.

Aviation matters are not in Qin Tao's control, but since Qin Tao knows about it, he has to do something.

How can we inspire these people in front of us?
Qin Tao's mind was thinking rapidly, and he spoke soon.

"These two women have been following me. How could they know such irrelevant things? Could it be false information?"

"They didn't know it at first, but they were coming to the country of Anxi, so their superiors assigned them a new task to secretly supervise the cargo ship Maersk, because this cargo ship will turn into us in Anxi on the way. Come to the Gulf and unload some of the cargo in several nearby countries."

A freighter needs to carry a lot of goods. If only ten Mirage 2000s are loaded, it would be too wasteful.

Moreover, if the cargo at the destination is not enough, it will be loaded at other ports. A trip to Anxi Bay is a route that many cargo ships will choose. After all, the customers here are rich.

Qin Tao's eyes sparkled.

As for how to deal with the freighter, his first thought was Somalia, to find an island in the nearby waters, so that he could hijack the freighter quietly and demand a high ransom.

However, this would set a bad precedent. Qin Tao didn't want to show the Somali natives how to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea. The motherland's navy is not strong enough to patrol the Gulf of Aden.

I didn't expect that the other party would actually come to Anxi Bay. Since they came here, there would be more room for manipulation!
Qin Tao's eyes were shining brightly.

A bold plan is also rapidly forming in Qin Tao's mind.

"Aren't you worried about one billion dollars? I have a plan that will allow you to get one billion dollars. Even if you can't get one billion dollars, you can get five hundred million dollars."

Hearing Qin Tao's plan, everyone's eyes brightened.

Xu Zhengyang felt chills when he heard it from the sidelines. Mr. Qin, if you advise them like this, aren't you afraid that the news will leak out and become a public enemy of the world?
However, it's a really good idea!

Now, let's see if the Anxi people in front of them have the courage.

Qin Tao had nothing to worry about. The people of Anxi had no reason to refuse such a good thing.

Sure enough, the person opposite nodded.

The Maersk cargo ship belongs to a multi-purpose dry cargo ship. This kind of ship was the most famous during World War II. For example, the "Liberty Ship" with a load capacity of 2500 tons has built more than 600 ships successively, and there are also [-] tons load capacity. China's "Victory Ship" built more than [-] ships. For a long time, this kind of ship was the main force of shipping.

But later, great changes have taken place in world shipping. There are more and more ships proficient in professional fields, such as oil tankers, container ships, bulk carriers, etc., which have become the main force. The proportion of multi-purpose dry cargo ships Fewer and fewer.

However, when shipping is uneconomical, the advantages of this multi-purpose ship come into play. It is not picky about food and can pull everything. This leads to its high operating efficiency, so it has not been eliminated.

At this time, the Maersk cargo ship is roughly divided into three types of cargo.

At the front of its deck, it is loaded with high-end cars produced in Europe. In order to accommodate more cars, it also specially made a roll-off rack, which can be two layers up and down. These cars with protective film on the surface are transported For those local tyrants in the oil region, you can even see luxury sports cars such as Porsche.

Behind these vehicles, there are some bulk goods, such as some wood, oil drums, square equipment boxes, etc., which are in a mess.

Behind the vehicle, there are neatly stacked containers, about 200 of them densely packed.

However, this is only the equipment on the first deck on the surface. In order to better load cargo, this multi-purpose cargo ship has two decks. On the lower deck, there are some things covered with camouflage nets. If you look closely, It can be seen that one part is long and the other is triangular.

Like most cargo ships, its bridge is set at the very end, and the windows on the top are just higher than the container in front. In this way, although there is no problem when looking at the distance, but when looking at it up close Things that are close at hand will be blocked from sight.

Captain Peter is in his 40s, and he has more than 20 years of sailing experience, which is very rich. At this moment, Peter's face is full of envy.He glanced at the marine clock, it was six o'clock in the morning.

"The people here are very happy, because the ground under their feet is full of black gold, and they don't have to do anything, as long as they pump up the gold, they can get huge wealth."

The difference in birthplace makes such a huge difference!

Peter thought of the last time he docked, went to a client's house, saw the magnificent building, he was extremely envious, and there were so many wives, this is a man's paradise!
Boom!
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the hull, and quickly spread along the metal hull to the bridge.

"What's going on? Have we hit the rocks?" Peter immediately became nervous.

He has been running this route for more than ten years, and it is absolutely safe, but now the sound is so similar to hitting a rock.

"No. Our hull is intact."

"That is how the matter?"

"Oh, damn it, when did that fishing boat come?"

At this time, they could see from the side that a ship had been knocked over. It was a small boat of less than [-] tons, and it was inconspicuous in front of their [-]-ton giant ship. die!

"I suppose they must have come to touch china," said Captain Peter angrily.

"Captain, are we going to stop and save someone?"

"No, this is the busiest seaway. We stop to rescue people. What if we are hit by other ships? Those hundreds of thousands of tons of oil tankers can easily sink us!"

"What about the people at sea?"

At this moment, several people could be seen falling into the water, struggling there, not knowing what to say.

"Throw them a few lifebuoys and God bless them."

Peter didn't stop to save people. On the one hand, it was true that the place was relatively busy, but the more important reason was that he knew that there were special things on board, so it was not appropriate to cause extra trouble.

However, he didn't know that his operation had completely left others with a handle.

They had just moved forward for less than three nautical miles, when there was a roar in the distant sky.

"Helicopter, what are they going to do?"

At this time, the crew already had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

The helicopter roared in, flew over their bridge in a thrilling manner, and then landed on top of a stack of containers ahead.

One armed person came down from the inside and pointed a cold muzzle at the people inside the bridge.

"Damn it, what are you doing? You're piracy!" Peter cursed loudly.

"When you passed through the strait, you maliciously sank one of our fishing boats that was operating normally. Moreover, after the collision and sinking, you did not stop at all, and continued to move forward, trying to leave the scene of the accident. Your behavior, Seriously violated the relevant international norms, now, I declare that your ship will be temporarily detained until the accident is resolved!"

Several speedboats were also roaring in, and more armed personnel boarded the cargo ship Maersk.

The seizure of the cargo ship Maersk, which shocked the entire Anxi Bay, just happened.

In Bandar Abbas, a spokesperson spoke to reporters from various countries, his tone full of anger.

"Just two hours ago, Rezai, a fisherman on Qeshm Island who has been fishing for generations for generations, took his two sons out to sea to fish, but was rudely rammed by a Maersk cargo ship, and the fishing boat was destroyed. It sank, and among the three people, only his youngest son was still alive, and the other two were killed. What made us most angry was that after the accident, the cargo ship Maersk did not stop for rescue, but chose to escape!"

"Now, let's release this video to let the shipowners see how these so-called cargo ships from the civilized world use brutal and rude means to blatantly violate the basic international navigation rules!"

The evidence is solid, they have a video, and it is still a video taken from the sky, which is quite clear.

Of course, conspiracy theorists will definitely find a lot of questions, for example, how can this kind of thing be videotaped, and it will be clearly recorded. After all, this is not the age when everyone has a mobile phone!

However, in any case, the video proves that the huge freighter directly crashed into the fishing boat without stopping at all!

"Could it be that they didn't know there was an impact?"

"That's a good question. Even if they didn't know that there was a collision, they should be punished accordingly. The fact is that they threw a few life buoys into the sea, which shows that they knew they had caused trouble!"

Now, the evidence is even more convincing.

People are floating in the sea, how can they not be knifed.In a storm, life and death are life and death. If you get hit, it is a man-made accident. If you run away after hitting someone, is this a loss of morality, or a distortion of human nature?
