Great warships

Chapter 821 Invitation from the Rainbow Kingdom

"Boss Qin, isn't it a bit mean for us to do this?" Xu Zhengyang asked with some doubts after seeing off the guests from the North Kimchi Country.

"Why is it not interesting? If you have a friend who spends money every time you go out to eat out, would you really consider him a friend?"

"If it's a good friend, I'd like to."

"Where is your wife? Do you spend the wages you earn for your friends, or for your wife and son?"

Xu Zhengyang thought about it seriously: "Well, I don't want to."

Zhao Ling was smiling, Qin Tao's theory was too strong.Xu Zhengyang married his wife, and his wife's belly is also bulging. Of course, Xu Zhengyang also has to think about his family. Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes.It's just that the brothers are the siblings of the centipede, and the wife is the clothes for winter.

The Stirling engine purchased by North Kimchi Country is not the 039kW product currently used on the 162C, but the early 75kW model. Even if four engines are used, it will only have a horsepower of [-]kW. It can only make the submarine advance at a very low speed underwater.

Qin Tao is still holding back. He is guarding against the North Kimchi Country. He will never really be friends with such a country.

The other party is also holding back. The other party only purchased one. It is clear that they want to go back to survey and map the imitation. Even if they are installed on the submarine, they will not pose any threat to the East.

It was then, it is now, times are changing, and the international environment is also changing. Even now, it is already very good.

"Mr. Qin, we just received the news." Zhao Ling's cell phone vibrated in her pocket, she took it out to look at it, and then said to Qin Tao: "Swift made a public speech accusing us of selling nuclear power technology to Beijing. Kimchi Nation, destroying regional peace here."

"Swift? This guy is in a hurry!" Qin Tao said.

After all, Swift is in charge here. Once North Kimchi Country obtains the nuclear power treasure, it will be really Alexander's for Swift.

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Ling asked.

"Us? Faced with this kind of slander, of course we have to publicly oppose it. Next, we will also issue a statement." Qin Tao said.

Soon, the Mingzhou Group's statement was officially announced.

Our Mingzhou Group has always been peace-loving. Our nuclear power bank is also for the peaceful use of nuclear energy. To provide a suitable mobile power source for those energy-deficient areas, we are entirely for civilian purposes!If some customers buy our nuclear power treasure under the banner of civilian use and use it elsewhere, we will strongly condemn and take strong measures to sanction them!We have never destabilized any region.But a certain country brazenly prepares to sell nuclear submarines to non-nuclear countries, seriously undermining regional peace!

The statement is short and the meaning is clear.

Our nuclear power plant is for civilian use, but if some customers buy it under the banner of civilian use but start doing military things, it has nothing to do with us, just like our gas tanks are bought by some countries for transformation It has become a rocket, so what can we do?Can these things be taken back?Of course not, we can only strongly condemn and then take certain measures. As for what the measures are, no one knows.

We are peace-loving, those who want to sell nuclear submarines to the Kangaroo Country, what face do you have to accuse us, you are selling [-]% nuclear submarines!

A few days later.

"President Qin, there is news from the Glorious Years Shipyard that the Rainbow Nation Navy intends to produce the Heroic-class frigates ordered from Germany at this shipyard, and even the Rainbow Nation Navy intends to purchase submarines produced by our Mingzhou Group, so , I would like to ask you to come over and discuss with the Rainbow Nation Navy in person."

Before the 90s, all the wishes of the Rainbow National Navy to order advanced naval equipment from foreign countries came to naught. When the old British Type 12 Leander-class frigates were eliminated, there were only a few hundred tons of warships left on hand, and they The navy needs to protect a large sea area. Therefore, after entering the 90s, when they were qualified to purchase from the outside world, they immediately began to investigate frigates all over the world.

After four years of continuous comparison, Rainbow Nation finally chose the German GFC Group's MWKO A200 frigate project to win. In December 99, that is, two or three months ago, Rainbow Nation formally signed an agreement with GFC to order four MEKO A -12 Rainbow National Navy type, however, according to this agreement, the relevant warships are all divided up by the German shipyards, and now the task of shipbuilding is going to fall to the Glory Years Shipyard?
Looking at Zhao Ling's somewhat excited gaze, Qin Tao remained calm: "I'm afraid there is something wrong here."

Xu Zhengyang also became vigilant: "Are they trying to attack you through the Rainbow Kingdom?"

In recent events, the Mingzhou Group has gained the upper hand, but everyone knows that the Yankees will never admit defeat willingly, and they will definitely have new tricks!

Looking at it now, the rainbow country invited Qin Tao over. On the surface, it was calm, but there may be a conspiracy behind the scenes, and Qin Tao is likely to fall into the trap.

Once there is danger outside, the rescue will be ineffective!
"That's right, there may be a problem, Brother Tao, you can't go!" Zhao Ling also became nervous: "Brother Tao, our Glorious Years Shipyard can develop very well in Africa even without this order. We are taking a high-end route and have connections with many wealthy people, so we don’t need to get involved in South African warship manufacturing!”

Qin Tao smiled: "The judgment I made just now is just to make us more vigilant, not to scare us. The Rainbow Country is not a puppet of the Americans. They are different from the Maple Leaf Country and the Kangaroo Country. They are still independent. Yes, I want to see how much the Americans can play there!"

"No, Mr. Qin, you must not put yourself in danger!" Xu Zhengyang was very anxious: "Leader Wu will not agree with you to go."

At this time, Xu Zhengyang threw out Leader Wu, and only Leader Wu could hold Qin Tao down.

"Him? Not only will he agree, but he will also send a warship to go there together." Qin Tao said.

"what?"

"Our navy's fleet is getting bigger and bigger, but we haven't done anything other than fight pirates. This time, we'll take this opportunity to go to the Rainbow Nation and have a joint military exercise with the Rainbow Nation's navy. Our warship is right next to me, I don't believe it, who else would dare to attack me!"

The Rainbow Country is not a vassal of the United States, so there must be only a small group of people behind the conspiracy. Qin Tao has to go there in an open and aboveboard way. Every Roman in those days could walk in any corner of the world with his chest up. He, Qin Tao, can do it too. Behind him is an increasingly powerful country!
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Xu Zhengyang was taken aback, and began to think about Qin Tao's words, but Zhao Ling had already understood: "That's right, we should demonstrate the strength of our navy abroad. This time, take this opportunity to bring a The warship is passing!"

Do those guys who are plotting behind the scenes think they can succeed?They should be dumbfounded when they hear the news that their own warship has passed by!They did this just to pave the way for the Mingzhou Group. If it is done well, maybe the warships of the Mingzhou Group can enter the market of the Rainbow Country.

A few years ago, when Rainbow Nation started bidding for warships, Mingzhou Group did not pay too much attention to it. At that time, it was true that there was not much advanced equipment that could be produced. Now, Mingzhou Group has whatever it wants, as small as a speedboat, It is so big that it can produce aircraft carriers, and Mingzhou Group is the strongest. Bringing warships there may really mess up the German shipbuilding contract.

"I'm going to contact the navy now." Zhao Ling was very eager.

"Secretary Zhao, the navy is a trivial matter. The key is how to contact the Rainbow Country." Xu Zhengyang finally woke up from his thoughts and began to ask more critical questions.

"The Rainbow Country? What's the problem? I just need to write a letter to their leaders." Qin Tao said.

Those who conspired seemed to have forgotten that Qin Tao and the Rainbow Nation had a very good relationship. A glorious song back then made the leaders of the Rainbow Nation burst into tears!
Now, this song is played at the Glory Years Shipyard all day long. Many people in the Rainbow Country can sing it. With this song, the relationship between the Rainbow Country and the East is getting better and better.

The warship from the East is going to visit. Although the matter is hasty, as long as Qin Tao makes this request, the other party will definitely agree to it, no matter what!
"Okay." Xu Zhengyang nodded: "We will send someone to make this trip."

rainbow country.

"Robert, don't worry, Mingzhou Group has always built warships. They will be very happy to invite them to build one of the warships in the Glory Years Shipyard this time, and that President Qin will also come. A naval leader said: "That's all I can do, but after he comes, how to deal with it is your business. Don't expect us to get involved."

"Yes, when he comes, everything will be handed over to us. This is not an eastern country. They are beyond their reach. We only need to dispatch an action team to catch him quickly." Robert said: "Anderson, here There is 200 million US dollars, which is dedicated to your hard work."

For some people, the Rainbow Nation is falling from heaven to hell, but for others, the current Rainbow Nation is like heaven, as long as you have money, you can do whatever you want here!

Robert didn't contact anyone, but found Anderson, and Anderson took care of everything for him. He spent millions of dollars, fooled a group of people, shouted to build a warship by himself, and then snatched an order from Germany , to the Glory Days Shipyard.

Among the high-ranking naval officials in the Rainbow Country, only Anderson knew the inside story. The others all sincerely hoped to produce in their own shipyards, so after they got the money, they worked hard to promote this matter. Within a short time, this matter passed the final resolution.

This is a waste of fat for Mingzhou Group. President Qin will definitely come over when he hears the news, and then they can implement their plan.

The people in front of me are really greedy. I don’t know how much of the previous several million activity funds are left, and now we need another 200 million for benefits, but this is the last payment. As long as Mr. Qin comes here, everything will be easy !
Boom!At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Who?"

"Your Excellency Anderson, your superior called you for a meeting."

"Understood, I will go tomorrow."

For the Rainbow Country people who have always been sloppy, the notice of the meeting will be delivered one day or even a few days in advance, and it may not be guaranteed to come, because in many of their minds, tomorrow may always be second sky.

"Not tomorrow, but now."

"Now?" Anderson frowned: "Is it something urgent?"

"Yes, it's an emergency."

Ordinary people can be lazy, but as a soldier, you can't lose the chain at critical moments, so Anderson can only nod: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Robert was a little curious, what's the emergency?Is it related to what you want to do?

The meeting room was very lively. The old man was sitting in the main seat, watched Anderson come in, and immediately greeted him: "Anderson, you are the first person who proposed to build the A200 frigate at the Glory Days Shipyard. Now, you must be looking forward to it. What's next news?"

expect?Anderson asked curiously, "What news?"

"President Qin is coming to our place!"

"Really? That's great." Anderson said, "Qin is always our best friend!"

Although Anderson had already sold Boss Qin, he still said that Boss Qin was his best friend, and he forced out a smile: "When will Boss Qin come?"

"Five days later."

"Oh, that's really good news. Did you call the big guys together to announce the good news?"

"Of course more than that." The old man said: "There is another new news, Mr. Qin decided to come on a frigate, and this frigate will pay us a friendly visit."

"Frigate?"

Anderson realized that the situation was not good. If Mr. Qin only brought a few bodyguards, Robert's men might be able to handle it. He brought a frigate, what could Robert do?
Whatever it is, he will tell him the news, but those benefits will never be refunded.

"It's impossible for the frigate to come from the east in just five days?" Davidson said.

"Yes, this frigate is a warship escorting the waters of Somalia. After accepting the mission, it will come directly. President Qin will fly to the vicinity of Somalia first, and then board the ship directly. From the waters of Somalia to here, five days is enough time. "

It is also an escort warship in the waters of Somalia!There must be a large number of Marine Corps soldiers on it, and they are all the most elite!Anderson mourned Robert for 2 minutes, give up, this is an impossible task.

"At present, the escort there should be the 054 frigate. The performance of this frigate is also good, and there are good military sales results. Everyone, should we consider it?" Davidson said.

"What are you thinking about! We have already placed an order with Germany, and the deposit has been handed over to them. If we break the contract at this time, we have to pay liquidated damages."

"Everyone, you're digressing. What we're discussing now is whether to allow President Qin to bring warships to visit, and even hold joint military exercises with them?"

"Of course not." Anderson blurted out.

"why?"

Seeing everyone's questioning gazes, Anderson suddenly faltered, why?There is no reason!

His mind turned quickly, and then he said: "If Mr. Qin comes here with the 054 frigate, then we might fall in love. If we break the contract with Germany, then we have to pay liquidated damages. If we don't break the contract, then we will be greedy again." , isn’t this a problem for us?”

"You think too much about this."

"Anderson, are you kidding me?"

The big guys laughed, and Anderson was telling a joke to the big guys. They would never see that Anderson's back was soaked.

Thanks to my adaptability, many people present are related to the Glory Years Shipyard and Mr. Qin. Although the old man confiscated the money, he often went to the Glory Years Shipyard for inspections, and there were special gifts for the old man A yacht, among the people present, it is estimated that no one is willing to cheat Mr. Qin, and I am almost about to make everyone angry.

Next, we have to hide it, and we must not let these people see it.

The old man called everyone to a meeting to discuss, but there was nothing worth discussing at all. Of course, he was welcomed with both hands, Mr. Qin, and the 054 frigate!Putting aside the exercises, at least after the frigate docks in the port, they can go up and take a look at the shipbuilding technology of the East.

In fact, Qin Tao didn't think Rainbow Congress refused at all, so Qin Tao discussed with the navy and decided to mobilize the warships escorted in the Gulf of Aden. After Qin Tao wrote the letter, he went to Gwadar Port and took a helicopter here. Go to escort formation.

In the air, you can see the magnificent outline of the escort formation. Three frigates and one comprehensive supply ship are sailing on the ocean. The fleet size of the motherland's navy is getting bigger and bigger!
Frigate No. 526.

Captain Zhang Ping greeted Qin Tao on the helicopter deck and watched Qin Tao come down with several men in suits.

This time, Qin Tao did not take his wife with him because it was dangerous after all. Xu Zhengyang would definitely go, and at the same time, he also dispatched a few bodyguards to deal with any accidents that may arise at any time. .

"President Qin, welcome to Ship 526. It is our pride that you can choose our warship this time!" Zhang Ping was very excited: "We will definitely complete the mission successfully!"

"Well, the navy assigned it. I believe in the vision of the navy's leadership." Qin Tao looked around: "We are escorting now, so we don't need destroyers anymore?"

At the time of the first escort, the country attached great importance to it and dispatched the main warships. Later, after several rotations, the escort became a very routine task, so that it was enough to send ordinary frigates over.

Anyway, the destroyer's high speed of 25 knots is not needed, as long as a dozen knots are enough. After all, many merchant ships can't run fast, and a frigate of [-] knots is more than enough. As for the pirate's speedboat?Anyway, it is difficult for warships to catch up, and they still have to rely on helicopters. In this way, frigates are the best choice.

"Yes, all the frigates that have come this time are frigates, so the cost is more economical, but the navy has been planning to send the main Aegis warships here to show the development of our navy in the past few years. It is estimated that next time it may be There will be Aegis ships coming." Zhang Ping explained: "Boss Qin, we went over this time and brought a company of marines with us, waiting for orders at any time."

"One company?" Qin Tao frowned: "On a [-]-ton warship like ours, a hundred or so people are squeezed in? How do they eat and sleep?"

"President Qin, the Marine Corps is a tiger on land and a dragon on sea. We naturally have a place to sleep." Behind Zhang Ping, an officer of the Marine Corps, Ma Tieshan, said: "Orders from superiors, we must protect your safety. If you encounter It's dangerous, we can just rush up to save people, don't worry about other things!"

"President Qin, I have vacated the captain's room for you. You will sleep in my room for the next few days. You must rest well to fight this battle well," Zhang Ping said.

"You guys are so motivating, I will sleep with the soldiers of the Marine Corps."

"With us? Boss Qin, we built a hammock and laid a floor on the warship." Ma Tieshan was stunned.

"You can sleep, but I can't? Don't forget, the warship is designed by us, so we know the most comfortable place on the warship." Qin Tao said: "Tonight, I will sleep on the bow of the ship. Inside the wall, that place is the most comfortable, with a little wind whistling."

It is not easy to bring more than 100 people. Some of them must be on the deck. Now warships are pursuing stealth performance, and the upper part of the hull is beginning to be recycled. The recovered part of the bow is where the mast used to be, and now it has become a bulwark. .

It's comfortable to lie down there and sleep, but it's not good if there's a storm. When the waves hit the bow of the ship, you'll be drenched in the cold. Boss Qin actually wants to sleep there?

"Boss Qin, that's not acceptable. If something happens to you, we can't afford it." Zhang Ping was in a hurry.

"That's right, Mr. Qin, we've accepted your wishes. You are here to do great things, not to suffer hardships on a warship. You should sleep in the captain's room."

"Okay, then I'll sleep in the engine room. I've loved hearing the sound of diesel engines since I was a kid."

The engine room is not small, but it is hot and noisy, and few people sleep there. Qin Tao chooses a difficult place because he wants to share weal and woe with everyone.

Everyone is very touched.

The No. 526 frigate had already replenished its supplies from the comprehensive supply ship in advance. After sounding its whistle, it bid farewell to the other warships in the formation and embarked on the road to the south.

At the same time, Robert also heard the surprising news.

"What? That coward actually came with a warship? How can you agree to such a request?" Robert was anxious.

"He probably wanted to mess up our cooperation with Germany and let us choose their frigates. Thanks to my explanation of the pros and cons at the meeting, everyone gave up this idea. Therefore, even if they come with frigates, there is no What's the point." Anderson said: "There's only so much I can do. You can figure out the rest. Remember, what you do next has nothing to do with me!"
