Great warships

Chapter 436 The Storm Can't Stop the Way Home

For Qin Tao, this is just a trick.Of course, being able to screw Mirzaulu out of his job and subject to investigation is also considered an unexpected gain.

The time has entered the night, and the floating dock of the Shenzhou is carrying the Oriental Maritime Blockade, and the Nikola Chickel in front opens the way and continues to move forward.

Sain has no pilot, and the wide sea here will not encounter danger. Moreover, the navigation light is so high that it can be seen by other ships from a distance.

He needs to gather enough energy to continue the piloting for the next day.

One night was short and long. For Mirza Oulu, this was the most uncomfortable night he had ever spent. Although he did not encounter any difficulties during the investigation, it was only this kind of Investigation is enough to make him angry.

"I didn't do anything wrong, I just did what I should do! It's that Qin Tao, he's too cunning, all of this is a trap set by him!"

Mirzaoglu clenched his fists.

After a sleepless night, his eyes were red. The next day, he was sitting in his home, staring at the scene outside.

"Brother, it seems that your complexion is very bad." A voice came from outside.

"Pearson, how can I look good?" Mirzaoglu knew who was coming without turning his head.

"You will get better soon. Now, they are passing through the Darnell Strait, and the storm is also forming rapidly. In short, as long as they leave the strait, they cannot come in again. When the time comes, let them accept the force of nature." Punish it!"

They are going to be punished, but before they are punished, I have already been punished!Mirzaoglu was very uncomfortable.

"Be happy, my friend, the beautiful country has sent you an invitation. In the future, you can go to work in the beautiful country."

is it?

Mirza Oulu's face burst into excitement, this is really good news!

"It seems that all I can get today is good news. Now, let's wait for the news that the two ships sank in the storm!"

"If the Nikola-Chickel does not release the cable, there will be three ships." Pearson said with a smile on his face: "This ship is leased by Xiguo, if it sinks, Xiguo's company There will be big trouble."

"Really? That's great, now, let's wait for that pleasing scene!"

Time is still passing by little by little.

Finally, the curved Daniel Strait has reached its end, and the wide Aegean Sea can already be seen on the opposite side.

"Okay, my piloting work is over, I wish you good luck." Sayin said to the captain beside him.

"Thank you." The captain shook hands with him warmly, and also gave him a few green coins.

For the sake of the green coins, Sayin, who was about to board the helicopter to go back, couldn't bear it anymore. Out of conscience, he said to the captain: "Please pay attention to the weather conditions in the Aegean Sea."

"Weather? The weather forecast we received is not bad." The captain was a little curious.

Sayin didn't say much, and got on the helicopter.

The captain watched the helicopter leave, then looked at the sea in the distance, and then at the sky.

There, there are large clouds floating over!
"Not good, there is a storm at sea! We will be here in half an hour!" Now the captain became anxious.

He has been a sailor here for most of his life, and he is very familiar with the weather. When the high-altitude clouds float in this direction, it means that there is an anticyclone there, which is the precursor of a big storm!

"The Chickel called the Shenzhou. Visually, there is a big storm, and it will arrive in half an hour. We must prepare in advance!"

"The Shenzhou received it, please be prepared, and if there is an accident, please cut the cable in time."

Hearing the answer over there, the captain immediately shook his head: "Of course not, our task is to tow your ship, no matter what happens, we will never give up our mission!"

The Nikolay Chickel is a powerful tugboat that can directly tow the aircraft carrier. Now it is about to encounter a storm. If there is a problem with the ships behind, it is up to them to help out of the predicament. At this time, you must not shrink back and escape!

While talking, the captain looked back, and suddenly his face became a little ugly: "Shenzhou, you are sinking!"

"Yes, our center of gravity is too high. In order to sail in wind and waves, we must descend!"

Shenzhou is a floating dock!Its characteristic is that it can dive and rise at any time!
In normal voyages, the best way for them is to float up, so that they have the least contact with seawater, and the resistance from seawater is very small, so they can reduce fuel consumption and increase sailing speed.

However, if they encounter strong winds and waves, they have to lower their altitude, which is safer.

The Shenzhou floating dock was slowly descending while continuing to move forward. At this time, the floor of the dock had sunk into the water, and the Dongfang Haidu City carried on it also slowly came into contact with the sea water, and then got in contact with the sea water. The contact area is getting bigger and bigger.

"How did they come up with such a genius idea?" Iris asked curiously, "In this way, their voyage will be more stable!"

"It's not just that, have you seen it? There are steel plates protruding from both sides of the dock. These are the stabilizer fins!"

Many large ships will be equipped with fin stabilizers to increase the width to reduce shaking. However, I have never seen such a large stabilizer fin like the Shenzhou floating dock!
The storm is slowly coming over, but the people on board are full of confidence. In their eyes, they are fully prepared and there will be no problems!
The wind is blowing and the waves are getting higher and higher, but the boat is still steady!

The bean-sized raindrops hit the sea water, splashing countless water splashes, and they finally started to enter the storm, but they didn't have any fear, they went forward bravely!This is just a small test. When they reach the Atlantic Ocean, they don't know how many storms are waiting for them.

Wave after wave.

The tugboat in front was at full power, leading the huge monster behind, and they stepped forward against the waves.

On the Dongfang Haicheng, Zhang Zhen looked at the harsh scene outside, and felt a little nervous. Their task was to check the cables tied to the Shenzhou, so that no accidents would happen!

Come on, let the storm come more violently!

"Our shaking is not severe." The companion next to Zhang Zhen said: "When sailing in the past, when encountering this kind of wind and waves, the boat has already swayed from side to side, making everyone vomit."

"Yes, our previous warships had a displacement of only a few thousand tons. Now this ship has a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. This is not an order of magnitude. In the future, when this warship can sail independently, it will definitely be more stable."

Steady, really steady, in this kind of big storm, they have a different feeling than before.

Time is still passing by little by little.

On the back deck of the Nikolay Chickel, Iris was still nervously watching the cables.

Every time he goes up and down the waves, the cable will be tightened. At this time, he will be very worried, for fear that the cable will suddenly break. The storm will last for an unknown time. They will drag the group behind and leave the storm area as soon as possible. just do.

But fortunately, the cable has always been stable without any problems.

At this time, Qin Tao and Vitalia were packing their luggage in the hotel, ready to leave.

"Qin, will our ship be safe?" Vitalia asked Qin Tao.

Qin Tao smiled: "Of course, there will be no accidents."

"Now they are passing through the storm area, what if the cable breaks?"

"How is it possible, those cables are made of arresting cables."

If the cable is towed directly from the tugboat, the cable of the tugboat is of course used, but when towing, they threw the cable from the front end of the anchor chain of the Dongfang Sea Blockade, and used the cable they carried.

These cables are actually several arresting cables stored in the Nikolayev Shipyard. That thing can stop the carrier-based aircraft. Of course, the performance is very powerful, and it is a piece of cake for towing.

"Oh." Vitalia nodded: "Then shall we go to the Pyramid Kingdom next?"

"Well, you go to coordinate first. If they refuse to let us take the Suez Canal, we will change the route to the Atlantic Ocean. We don't have to entangle them too much."

"how about you?"

"I'm going to Xiguo to express my gratitude."

"Then I'll go with you. This time, after all, I've helped our Chuanglv Company a lot."

"Then it won't be in time to coordinate the passing of the Suez Canal. Don't worry, I'm just going to have a look, and I'll find you soon."

Qin Tao still can't let Vitalia participate in many things, and he must avoid Vitalia in the next deal with Xiguo.

"Okay." Vitalia was tactful.

In the same city, in a certain house, Mirzaoglu was raising a glass and toasting Pearson: "I believe that the ship has sunk now!"

"Yeah, it should have sunk, and it sank so fast that they didn't even send out a distress signal." Mirzaoglu said.

Such a big storm is unprecedented. With such a combination, one wave can overturn them!

It's sinking, it must be sinking.

Thinking of being able to let out a breath, Mirzaoglu was very happy: "Come on, cheers!"

As soon as the cups of the two touched together, there was the sound of rapid footsteps outside.

"We just received pictures from the reconnaissance satellite, we found the target on it, they have passed through the center of the storm and are moving on."

"It's impossible!" Mirzaoglu was instantly surprised: "No floating dock can block that kind of storm!"

"We have dispatched helicopters, and after they leave the storm, we will take pictures and hope to find a way for them to pass safely." The man continued.

After half an hour.

"They sank the floating dock, damn it, how did they come up with it?" Looking at the photo, Mirzaoglu realized that the other party was too cunning!
Originally, I thought I could let out a bad breath, but who would have thought that they didn't encounter any risks!
At this time, the sun was already setting, and the golden sunlight filled the Aegean Sea. The Shenzhou floating dock continued to drain water and raise its height. After it all surfaced, it began to sail at high speed.

Many reporters are also paying attention to this matter. This is definitely full of twists and turns. I just left the Tuji Strait and encountered another storm. Will this combination encounter problems?

After getting the news of the safe passage, I don't know how many people cheered, excited for the safe passage of the Dongfang Sea Blockade.

"This ship has twists and turns, but every time it can save the day, it has created a miracle!" The reporters wrote vigorously to report the incident.

They also know that the heat of this matter is going to slowly fade away, so let's take advantage of the last moment to grab the heat.

As for Qin Tao who personally planned this incident, he has already arrived at an aviation base in Xiguo.

It was already the end of February at this time, and he had been busy working on the Dongfang Sea Blockade for nearly a month, and he finally had some free time.

The morning sun shines on the earth, and it is thriving.Compared with the icy and snowy Lao Maozi, this place has a subtropical climate, warm and humid, and you can still see a piece of emerald green on the ground.

In front of him was a row of Mirage 2000 fighter jets.

"This is one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world." Qin Tao said with emotion.

Hearing his praise, Samaras was very happy: "Yes, this is the most advanced fighter jet in the world. How do you feel about it compared with the F-16?"

"In my opinion, the overall performance is better than the F-16. Of course, the specifics will not be confirmed until an air battle." Qin Tao said: "However, I am optimistic about the Mirage 2000. If necessary, I will definitely be able to use the F-16. 16 knocked down, it would be great if an F-[-] destruction mark was painted under the cockpit of this plane."

"Yes, I believe that day will come!" At this time, the pilot of the plane just got off the plane and immediately took over the conversation.

"Captain Grivas, are you very confident?" Along with Qin Tao, there is also the leader of the aviation unit, Plagis, who has the same name as the aviation hero of the country.

"Yes, I often confront those F-16 fighter units. I believe that I have this ability."

Greece has both Mirage 2000 and F-16, so this gives them a good opportunity: they can start an internal confrontation and find out the advantages and disadvantages of various aircraft.

"Yes, all the pilots of our Theseus Squadron have this ability!" Another person said.

他们第331“忒修斯”中队是希国空军第1个换装幻影2000战机的单位。操作幻影2000的时间比第一个换装F-16的第330“雷电”中队时间更长，在每次对抗中，都能把F-16揍得满地找牙。

"Yes, the pilots are good, but the planes are a bit old and there are not many of them." Qin Tao began to guide them to the key points.

If you compare the number, the number of F-16s equipped by Greece is more. The Mirage 2000 has only 36 single-seater Mirage 2000EG and 4 two-seater Mirage 2000BG. The models are also relatively old. Upgraded with the assistance of Suo company, it can carry S90D medium-range air-to-air missiles, and also has the ability to mount AM530 "Exocet" anti-ship missiles and SCALP-EG joint beyond-visual-range weapons.

In this way, its performance is more advanced than that of the F-16, because many F-16s exported by the United States in this era can only carry short-range missiles.Therefore, in the confrontation with the F-16, it can occupy a great advantage.

Plages thought about it, of course he knew the purpose of Qin Tao's coming here.

"President Qin, let's go to the office to discuss in detail."

In the office, with the warm Mediterranean sea breeze blowing, Qin Tao drank the freshly brewed coffee and said with a smile: "I got the news through some channels by chance, there are ten Phantom 2000-5 somewhere, Urgently need a shot, if you want, I can help to bridge the gap."

Ten, Mirage 2000-5!

Plages immediately became short of breath: "Can you help me get this weapon?"

"I just heard about it, and I don't know if I can help you get it." Qin Tao said: "In terms of price, it is about 5000 million U.S. dollars per plane, and ten planes is [-] million. If you have an idea, please Get the funds ready, and I will help make the match."

This is the best of both worlds. Even if the whole world knows that Parthia seized the ten Mirage 2000s, as long as they don’t show up, Dassault can’t blame them. Since there are no accessories, Parthia can’t operate those fighters. sell.

It has to be sold to countries that already have Phantom 2000 on hand, so that it is convenient for maintenance and so on, and the scope of such buyers is narrowed.

Although Qin Tao came up with this idea before, he didn't really help out. This kind of thing depends on fate.

Now, fate has arrived.

The price of Phantom-2000 is not cheap. In the 80s, when China wanted to purchase it, the price offered by the French was 6000 million US dollars!This is 80 million US dollars in the 6000s, and now it is worth [-] million!

This price is twice as expensive as the F-16!
However, some countries that cannot buy F-16 fighters can only buy Mirage 2000, and the French are taking this route.

For the Greek country, they also have their own concerns about purchasing this kind of fighter, because the performance of this fighter is unknown to the natives of the country.

Now, Qin Tao can help them purchase ten Mirage 2000-5 at a price of [-] million US dollars, which is much cheaper than purchasing from Dassault, but it is also a huge expense for them.

After all, the purchase of fighter jets is a huge cost, and generally speaking, it must be included in the country's financial budget. Otherwise, where can I get [-] million U.S. dollars when I am cramming?

"President Qin, we want to see these fighter planes with our own eyes," Plages said.

Such a major matter can only be decided after seeing it.

Qin Tao shook his head: "I'm sorry, this estimate is too much. Even the transaction, we have to conduct it on an uninhabited island. We can't see this batch of fighters in advance. However, since you have helped us a lot, I can I will pay you [-] million U.S. dollars in advance, and at the time of the transaction, if you find that there are problems with these fighters, you can reject them, and I will bear the loss of [-] million U.S. dollars alone."

The native asked for a deposit of [-] billion, but Qin Tao didn't give it to him, but for the Greek, he could pay the purchase cost of [-] million US dollars in advance. This is the way to repay his friends.

Qin Tao is also very generous to his friends.

At this time, hearing what Qin Tao said, Plages nodded: "Okay, Mr. Qin, then we will apply to the superior, but this may take a while, after all, this transaction is not in line with the rules."

"I can wait. Let me know when you are sure." Qin Tao said.

He is very generous.

For Qin Tao, [-] million U.S. dollars is actually not that much to pay. Qin Tao helped get those planes. It's just that in this project, Qin Tao doesn't make any money, he just helps to make contact, even if he expresses his gratitude to the Greeks for their righteous help in passing through the Tuji Strait.

This matter was settled in this way, and Plages continued: "Mr. Qin, I heard that you have designed an aircraft carrier for Turkey, and plan to draw them into the J-31A project?"

Qin Tao nodded: "That's right, what do you think? We can't disclose the design of the aircraft carrier. After all, it involves commercial secrets."

Since the other party talked about these things, it had a purpose.

Qin Tao is a businessman, and he has principles in doing many things.

Plages smiled awkwardly, and heard Qin Tao continue: "Of course, since you have helped us a lot, you only need to pay a sum of money, such as one hundred thousand dollars, and we can design for you One of the same model."

Hearing this, Plakis was overjoyed, President Qin is too generous!

It’s not okay to give directly, just change it in another way!
What Qin Tao did was equivalent to cheating the native chickens. However, it didn't matter, anyway, the native chickens were originally from both sides, seeking benefits everywhere, and everyone got what they needed.

As for why the design fee for Xi Guo is so cheap, of course it is because we are good friends!
"The J-31A project, the native chickens have not yet officially decided whether to join. With their character, they will definitely ask for many conditions, and they may not be able to negotiate in the end. If you want to join this project, we welcome it." Qin Tao said .

The joining of Xi Guo is of great significance, because they originally belonged to wearing a pair of pants with Americans!If they are won over, then this global joint fighter will be even more influential.

"We can guarantee that the performance of this fighter is not inferior to that of the American project, and the price is much cheaper. It is quite cost-effective to join now." Qin Tao patted his chest.

Therefore, Plages nodded again, and they had to seriously consider whether to join this project.

The meeting is over.

In this civilized and ancient city, Qin Tao didn't stay for too long, and he was still concerned about the behemoth on the sea.

After the incident was over, Qin Tao flew directly from Xi Country to Pyramid Country to join Vitalia.

"Just like you think, the Pyramid Kingdom does not allow us to pass through the canal." Vitalia said to Qin Tao: "The reason they gave is that the ship is too big and may affect the navigation route. In case the canal is blocked It's going to cause them big trouble."

"Hmph, in 91, the American aircraft carrier passed through the canal. Now, they don't allow us to pass through. This is unreasonable. We have to protest."

Although Qin Tao didn't intend to go here at all, he had to put on a gesture to make the Pyramid people feel ashamed.

　PS: The hero of East China made a fool of himself again. He actually thought that Greece was one of the four ancient civilizations. When I wrote it, I thought of Athens, and I thought of Athena, and I thought of Saint Seiya. I think it must be very ancient, sorry.
