Warship of Great Power

Chapter 433: Either have power of their own, or break

  Chapter 433 either has its own power, or breaks into pieces

   Straits Management Office.

"No, the Eastern Maritime Blockade is too big, and it doesn't have any power, so it can't pass through the strait." In the office, Mirza Oulu, who is in charge of reviewing the navigation of the strait, shook his head repeatedly: "We will not agree to this ship. Through the Straits."

"How is it possible? Our sea rescue company has rich experience. We can guarantee that it is far easier and safer to drive this ship through the strait than to drive a 150,000-ton oil tanker through the strait!" Very annoying.

"Mr. Timmermans, you are not a newcomer, you should know the rules here." Mirzaoglu said: "It is a large warship with a displacement of 60,000 to 70,000 tons, and it does not have any power plant. It may hit the Istanbul Bridge and block the strait. Regardless of its name and where it is registered, in our eyes, it is a warship! According to the 1936 Montreal Channel 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 tugboats you use, my answer is NO! 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' face was extremely ugly. He looked at Mirzaoglu's back and clenched his fists.

   Isn't it because he occupies a suitable position that he can be so arrogant? If you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of being beaten?

   Mirzaoglu left the conference room and returned to the office, where an 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, no matter whether it is changing the barricade or doing other things." 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 task. 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, is the conversation between you recorded?" Vitalia asked.

   "According to your request, we secretly recorded." Timmermans said, and turned on the small device that he carried with him.

   There was a conversation between the two inside.

  Qin Tao listened carefully to the last sentence.

   "No matter how many tugboats you use, my answer is NO! 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 the news in the shortest possible time. There are only two ways to pass through the Tuji Strait."

  Timmermans was a little curious: "Mr. Qin, are you planning to install an engine on it? I'm afraid this will not be easy, right? Installing propellers 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 it is easy to sink the giant ship.

   Timmermans does not think this is an easy task.

Hearing what Timmermans said, Qin Tao smiled: "There is always a way. Our Mingzhou Group is a world-renowned shipbuilding company, and there are many ways. This ship must be towed to our port as soon as possible. We can still Earn money for remodeling."

Method?

  Timmermans pondered for a while: "You don't know how to use an external engine, do you?"

Qin Tao's struggle history has also been unearthed by many people. When Qin Tao helped the Mingzhou Shipyard back to life, the first project he worked on was Dafei. He hung multiple engines behind the speedboat to make it run like flying. Now this This kind of technology has been spread to the whole world. Although the things done are disgusting, this kind of technology is still talked about.

   Now, people demand power, Mr. Qin should not have an external engine, right?

   This is not a level!

  Even if a 500-horsepower engine is installed outside, it may not be useful. This is like an ant pushing an elephant with all its strength.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Temporary secrecy. In short, this matter must be known to the whole world. It is best for reporters to interview Mirza Oulu 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 pushing this?"

   "Because I have other ways. By the way, I need to go out now."

   "Where to?"

   "Visiting an old friend, do you want to come with me?"

"certainly."

  Vitalia was very happy with Qin Tao's invitation.

  The afternoon sun shone brightly in the office, and Senyawin's body was bathed in the sun, very warm.

   "The Varyag is really big enough. It's a pity, looking at this rusty appearance now, it really has no military value." Senyawin said.

Hearing what he said, the superior leader Kavi Rui Kelu sitting opposite nodded: "Yes, it should have no military value. The Green Creation Company has prepared everything, but now it can't pass through the strait. It is estimated that it will lose money. .”

   "That woman has a Moscow background, and I don't know whether to use the Moscow relationship." Senyawin said.

"Probably not. The last time it was because her life was threatened, that's why the person in Moscow was very angry. Now it's just an ordinary business issue. If he has to intervene in everything, he is too spoiled with his daughter." Kai Weirui Ke Lu shook his head: "You can't grow into an eagle without going through some wind and rain."

   "Report, someone is asking to see you outside."

"who?"

   "President Qin of Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, and Ms. Vitalia, the person in charge of Chuanglv Company."

   "Okay, let them in." After finishing speaking, Senyawin glanced at Kaviri Kolu, "Should I change the room?"

   "No, I'll listen to it too." Kaviri Kelu said: "Mingzhou Group gave us the aircraft carrier design drawings and asked for a price increase. We took this opportunity to make them give up this unfriendly behavior!"

  Xenia Win nodded: "Yes, we can take advantage of this opportunity to ask for some benefits!"

  For the native chickens, the favorite thing to do is to take advantage of the fire and plunder, and have both ways.

  Qin Tao and Vitalia walked into the room. When he saw Kaviri Kelu, Qin Tao was taken aback. How could he meet such a superior?

   "Mr. Qin, let me introduce you. This is Your Excellency Kaiwei Rui Kelu." Seniawin 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 sun, the things inside shone brightly!

diamond!

  Ever since he set foot on the Rainbow Kingdom, Qin Tao has bought a batch of diamonds. Although this kind of broken stone is not worth much, but if there are more people who like it, it will be touted by others, and the price will also rise.

   Now these two are not small in size, and they are priceless at first glance.

  Everyone's eyes widened.

  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 happily.

   "Boss Qin, if you have anything to say, just talk about it." Seniawin said with a smile.

"As you all know, the person next to me is the person in charge of Chuanglv Company. He just bought the Dongfang Maritime Blockade from Ermao. In the end, he was refused by your relevant department. If the ship cannot get out of the strait, the ship If we can’t reach the East, our Mingzhou Group will also lose a business of refitting ships, so I’m here to ask you for help, hoping to help.”

Hearing Qin Tao's words, Xie Yawen wanted to nod, but Kaviri Kelu said: "President Qin, Mingzhou Group is quite powerful, and natural gas ships are the most profitable business. You can look at the modification The business of this ship?"

   This question is a bit sharp.

   Qin Tao continued to explain.

"For us, the modification of this ship does not make much money, but it has a reputation!" Qin Tao said: "Its predecessor was the Varyag, the last glory of the Red Empire. Now, if we undertake the modification of this ship, it will also be the most proud project of the group, written in the history of the group, and placed in the exhibition hall of the group. You should Knowing that when we make enough money, we'll care more about fame."

"There are rumors outside that you plan to transform it into an aircraft carrier." Kaviri Kelu's words were simply aggressive, and Senyawin on the side was a little worried. You can't do it for such a big carat diamond. Can't you be more tactful when you speak like this?

"This is also the purpose of our visit. We want to invite you to board the Dongfang Sea Fortress and conduct an inspection. After the inspection is completed, I hope you can issue a certificate that cannot be used for military purposes. , indicating that this ship is a civilian ship."

   This is Qin Tao's purpose: According to the Montreal Channel Convention, merchant ships can pass freely!

Whether the Dongfang Haicheng is a warship or a civilian ship is not determined by the management agency of the strait, that is, Mirza Oulu, but by professionals, as long as the person in front of him issues this certificate , then no review is required, and it can be passed directly!

  Qin Tao is very generous. Go up and see if it can be used for military purposes? Seeing is believing.

"You should also know that our Mingzhou Group has the ability to design and build aircraft carriers, and we don't need to look far away. If our navy needs it, then we can build it ourselves." Qin Tao looked to the opposite side after finishing speaking The two of them said: "There is cooperation between us. You can recognize our strength and buy the design drawings from us, which is a proof."

   "Boss Qin, when will this design be completed?" Seniawin was looking forward to it.

   "Wait until the Dongfang Sea Ducheng passes through the Tuji Strait, it will be almost done." Qin Tao said.

  As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room immediately cooled down.

What does it mean?

   This is threatening them!

  If the Dongfang Maritime Blockade cannot pass through the Tuji Strait, then they don’t even want to get their aircraft carrier design drawings, and the design funds will be in vain!

  Xenia Win's face was ugly. He was the one who handled this matter. Who would have thought that such an accident would happen?

  Kevrey Kelu couldn't help it: "We don't accept any threats!"

"No, please don't get excited. This is not a threat. It's just a transaction. I'm a businessman." Qin Tao said, "I just want to do business, and doing business is an exchange of benefits? It's necessary, isn't it good?"

   "But, the blueprint should have been handed over to us!"

"But your willingness to modify the design repeatedly!" Qin Tao said: "We have already said last time that we still need additional design funds. Now, in order to show our sincerity, we can give up this part of the cost, and even, we are in the design drawings. After delivery, if you still have ideas and ask for changes, we can also help and change the design for free, what do you think?"

Vitalia looked at it with a smile. Although the nominal person in charge of Chuanglv Company is Vitalia, she still has to listen to Qin Tao in many matters, and Qin Tao is also very good, and can accurately Grasp the opponent's lifeline.

   Now she is a little curious, and this is too coincidental. Could it be that Qin Tao has laid the groundwork in advance? Then he is too amazing, right? It is simply a prophet!

   "That is to say, if we don't issue this certification document, we won't be able to get the design drawings?" Kaviri Kelu continued to ask.

"No, no, of course it doesn't mean that. You misunderstood. After all, these are two things. Since we signed the agreement, we will perform the agreement. However, when the time comes, you need to settle the relevant design fees for us. , if you need to change, then you have to pay more, we all act according to the contract, so we don't pay attention to these favors."

Qin Tao said it very sincerely: "I am a business person, and I prefer to make friends with people. Many friends have multiple paths. I would rather make less money in the business field, and have to go out of the way. If in this matter, If you are willing to act righteously, then we will be good friends in the future, and we can continue to take care of many businesses. For example, you have obtained the aircraft carrier design drawing, which is only the first step. In the future, you will definitely build an aircraft carrier. I don’t know if you can produce the high-strength steel required by the aircraft carrier, but our Mingzhou Group has been able to produce 1 gigapascal steel, which is no problem at all as the deck steel of the aircraft carrier.”

When talking about this, Qin Tao said with emotion: "There are always some people who are suspicious and suspicious. If we really want an aircraft carrier, we can build it ourselves. Why bother? Unexpectedly, Chuanglv Company has good intentions. , but was speculated like this by the world. This world is full of malice! Where are your friends?"

  This sentence is very sincere and helpless.

   Both Kaviri Kelu and Senyawin's eyes lit up.

   That's right, it's not just about the design drawings. After they have the design drawings, they plan to start construction by themselves! This requires a large amount of steel, and only a few manufacturers in the world can produce some high-strength steel.

   If you help Mingzhou Group in this matter, then you can purchase a batch of steel at a low price in the future!

"Everyone probably knows that we are building warships, so we have a lot of connections. If you have any ideas about the J-31A project, we can also help." Qin Tao said: "We in the East always pay attention to reciprocating. "

   "Okay, as long as we check that the Dongfang Haicheng is not worth repairing, then we can issue this certificate to you!" Kaviri Kelu nodded.

   No matter who it is, the interests are always given priority. If there are enough interests, what else is there to say?

   Anyway, it's just a certificate, and it's not a big deal.

   Moreover, you can go to the Varyag to see it, which is the afterglow of the empire.

That afternoon, a helicopter landed on the Varyag, which made many people envious. They all heard that there were anti-aircraft missiles such as Stinger on it. No one dared to take risks. What is this helicopter? origin? How can I go up?

  The boots of Kaviri Kelu and Seniawin stepped on the flight deck. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and the rust filled the air, like a sandstorm.

  Both of them frowned, this kind of rags can still be used by the military? Are you afraid of sinking when docked at the pier?

   "Everyone, you can go inside and take a look." Qin Tao warmly invited: "After you go in, you should know that it has no possibility of military use."

  So, everyone walked down, looking at the desolate scene, looking at the various openings, and looking at the space of the anti-ship missile launcher in front.

"This kind of design is a failure. The huge space in front is wasted. It would be fine if we could get through it, but we dare not. We don't know how strong the structure is. If we get through it, we are afraid it will collapse. When it is transformed into a blockade, the space here It’s useless, as a staff resting place is more or less the same.” Qin Tao introduced: “The aircraft carrier we designed for you will definitely not be so tasteless.”

  The sun set to the west, reflected in the reinforced concrete of a city, and returned to the deck, the shadows of several people were stretched very long.

   "That's right, this ship has no military value and can only be used as a civilian facility." Kaviri Kelu said: "We can issue this certificate! Please also keep your promise."

   "Of course no problem, as long as we get the certificate, we can immediately express our sincerity."

   "What sincerity?"

   "We will send you a J-31 fighter jet."

  Xeniawin became excited: "Mr. Qin, you are such a good friend!"

  The next morning, Mirzaoglu went to work happily, but received news that surprised him.

"Those idiots don't know what's going on in their brains, but they actually issued a certificate that the ship can't be used for military purposes! Now, the tugboat Nikola Chickel is towing the Oriental Sea Blockade, intending to Pass through the Turkey Strait!" Pierson 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 be on the same side as us?"

   "Don't know how they were persuaded, **** it, now, fix this!"

   "Even if it is a civilian ship!" Mirzaoglu said: "That ship is too large and will seriously affect the safety of our shipping routes. We must stop them immediately! I will hold a press conference immediately!"

   This is the only way Mirzaoglu can think of.

   Soon, the conference room was full of reporters. They were reporters from various major newspapers and TV stations who paid attention to the Oriental Maritime Blockade. They hoped to get top-notch news.

"Currently, the relevant departments have verified that the Dongfang Maritime Blockade cannot be used for military purposes, but its hull is too large and there is no power system, so we will not allow this ship to pass, it will cause danger to us! "

"We have issued serious warnings to the relevant tugboat companies, Chuanglv Company, the owner of Dongfang Haicheng, etc., to stop this dangerous behavior immediately, otherwise they will be blocked by us. At that time, any losses caused , the other party is responsible for it all!"

   "Excuse me, what conditions must be met to pass?"

   "I heard that you have already made a request with the person in charge of the towing company?"

   "Yes, if you want to escape safely, unless the ship has its own power system, or it is broken into pieces and transported away!"

   Mirza Oulu's words quickly spread all over the world through TV, newspapers, and various news. Everyone who paid attention to this matter was watching and watching the next development.

   It is impossible to dismantle it into pieces, because this ship will be used as a sea blockade when it goes back. What should I do if it is broken into pieces? Should I go back and reassemble it?

   As for having motivation, this has aroused countless people's associations.

   Hang the engine at the tail, or directly weld the tail of a decommissioned tanker? Countless people are guessing.

   That afternoon.

   "Even if it is for civilian use, without a power system, we can use it to threaten the safety of our bridge and prevent them from passing." Mirzaoglu was triumphant.

"Yes, they must not be allowed to pass, but I always have a bad feeling that Mr. Qin must be preparing for something." At this time, Pearson had no hope. He knew that the opponent Very cunning.

  Yesterday, without realizing it, I changed the sky, what about today?

   "Report." At this moment, a person walked in.

"What's wrong?"

   "We just got 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.
