Chapter 623 Peace-07 Maritime Joint Military Exercise (Additional Update)

After staying one night at Boris's manor, Qin Tao finally left the next morning. Vitalia reluctantly waved goodbye to Qin Tao and agreed to meet again in the East.

Driving the car provided by the embassy, ​​Xu Zhengyang asked curiously: "Mr. Qin, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us if Boris stays in Damao's energy field? Especially now, the natural gas pipeline agreement has not been completed yet. .”

“Yes, I also hope that he can continue to stay in the energy field, but if he continues to stay there, he will most likely receive a box lunch.”

 Get a box lunch? What does it mean? It took Xu Zhengyang a few seconds to react.

“So, as an old friend who has been with us for many years, you want to protect Boris?”

Qin Tao smiled: "Guess, what are the other benefits?"

Xu Zhengyang was multitasking, driving and thinking at the same time. After a few seconds, he summed it up: "With the boss's style of doing things, he will definitely have an informant around Boris. Therefore, these suggestions you gave Boris, It is likely that the boss will hear it. If Boris does what you say, then the boss should be grateful to you."

The boss wants to get rid of people like Boris, but it is not good to do it too obviously. The conflicts between them will become more and more intensified until they are eventually irreconcilable. Now, before reaching that level, Qin Tao helped solve the problem. To use an idiom, this is called releasing military power over a glass of wine. Qin Tao is equivalent to helping the boss solve the problem.

Some time ago, the boss's attitude towards Qin Tao was not very good. Now, by taking such actions again and again, Qin Tao will be recognized by the boss. It will be easier to move around Damao in the future.

Qin Tao did not answer Xu Zhengyang's words, but watched the scenery outside the window change. Unconsciously, the man who used the hero medal in exchange for money appeared in front of him again.

This country is in a half-dead state, but this state is the best for ourselves!

Just when Qin Tao lamented the impermanence of the world, other people who were almost forgotten were still struggling.

On the huge ice, a group of people were lying on it, looking at the sky. Their eyes were full of deathly ashes.

 They have no strength to move anymore, and their food has been eaten. At this time, they are just waiting for death.

“Everyone, hold on, hold on, the group will definitely come to save us!” Cui Wenji was still encouraging his subordinates, but these words were more like what he said to himself.

"Save? We should have been saved long ago. We have been abandoned by the group. After all, when we die, we only need to give some pensions, which is much less than the cost of rescue." A crew member said weakly: "We They are a bunch of abandoned wretches.”

“No, no, don’t think like this, the group will never give up on us!” Cui Wenji continued to encourage everyone.

Suddenly, the guys felt the ice they were lying on shake.

"what happened?"

 “The ice we’re lying on is going to crack!”

 “Get out of here quickly!”

 “What’s the use of leaving? Leaving is also death, so you might as well die here.”

 At this moment, the vibration came again.

Suddenly, Cui Wenji thought of something and became excited: "Is the icebreaker coming to rescue us?"

 Icebreaker?

Everyone suddenly regained their strength and looked up into the distance. Sure enough, a big guy seemed to appear on the ice in the distance.

 An icebreaker, indeed an icebreaker!

They got excited, took steps, and headed towards the icebreaker.

The crew of the DAON ran the farthest, and they were also the first to be rescued!

 When they stepped onto the Arctic icebreaker, they saw Zheng Zhenze.

"You have all worked hard. The group will not forget you. The group spent a huge amount of money and reached an agreement with Da Mao to ask them to come to the rescue." Zheng Zhenze said: "Next, you will rest on the icebreaker, and I will take you back with the ship. Home."

Two days later, the Arctic icebreaker finally arrived at the site of the accident. The natural gas on the damaged DAON had almost leaked, and the surrounding natural gas concentration was just below the critical point. They carefully towed several other natural gas ships. After leaving the place where the accident occurred, it was more than ten kilometers before I dared to start my engine.

 Everyone is full of emotions about the aftermath of the disaster.

The news spread back to the South Kimchi Country, and the media who were concerned about the matter immediately reported it, and the Sanxing Group once again won praise from the people.

 However, no one at the top of the Three Bank Group was happy because they saw a terrible crisis in their eyes.

"A large amount of capital is pouring into our country. The stock price of our Three Banks Group is soaring like a rocket." In the group's conference room, a senior executive spoke worriedly: "Now, they are shorting us. stock market, and when they leave, we will have a terrible crisis."

 No one will be happy when the stock price rises, because this is not normal, and the operation method is exactly the same as when it was in Siam. It seems to be prosperous now, but it is just a flashback before death.

"Our original plan is not enough to rescue the market, so we need to withdraw all the investments in the financial market." Another person said: "Once foreign capital is withdrawn from our market, we will allocate sufficient funds Come in and protect our stock market, we must win this battle."

"Everyone, you are too timid! For us, this is a challenge and an opportunity." The third executive stood up: "Now, the yield on the national debt in Damao is very high, and the three The monthly income is 30%. For us, this is a huge profit, and we absolutely cannot just withdraw it. Moreover, you think, if international speculators enter the financial market to speculate, the value of these national bonds will The rate of return will be pushed up, so we can make more money! This will be enough to make up for our losses! Therefore, I think that at this time, not only can we not allocate funds, but we must continue to increase Inject funds!”

 This is playing with fire!

Mr. Li looked at the person who spoke. He was Sun Chenghuan, the head of Sanhang Securities, a subsidiary of Sanhang Group: "What if we mess up?"

 “It can’t be messed up because I already know a guy from Wall Street who…”

 “What did you say?” Everyone was breathing rapidly.

Everyone knows that the people on Wall Street are the ones who caused the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Now, Sun Chenghuan actually knows such a person?

 “Do you know that Soros?” Mr. Li also became nervous.

As the president of the Three Bank Group, Mr. Li certainly maintained certain contacts with Wall Street. Mr. Li also knew Soros. However, when huge funds began to sweep through Siam, Soros disappeared and no one knew he was there. Somewhere, I only know that he is directing from behind.

 In addition to Soros, other financial giants on Wall Street have also disappeared!

If this is not the case, Mr. Li really wants to ask, if you just want to build a few small countries, why do you want to plot against our Kimchi Country?

"Of course I don't know him. I just came into contact with one of their traders. That trader would secretly send me a message and tell me the next move." Sun Chenghuan said.

“Can his information be confirmed? This kind of trader should be cut off from contact with the outside world. How did you get in touch with him?”

"When this trader was at his lowest, I once provided him with a sum of funds. Thanks to this fund, he did not jump off the building. After that, I have been in contact with him. Recently, he became a trader, and he is a big trader. The trader, his subordinates control dozens of traders, and he has the power to communicate with the outside world."

“Will they attack Damao next?” Mr. Li continued to ask.

"Yes, he clearly told me that Da Mao is the target of their next attack. After all, Da Mao's market is the most unhealthy, and no one wants to see a living Da Mao. After this attack, Da Mao The economy will completely collapse, and those politicians in the United States are also willing to see this happen."

“Then why did they attack our South Kimchi Country?”

"Because the financial market will have a chain reaction." Sun Chenghuan continued: "They are pushing up our stocks and maliciously shorting our stock market. When the next fatal blow comes, we will have a financial crisis. In this way, we will definitely Funds need to be mobilized from abroad, so we need to transfer large amounts of funds from Da Mao. This will give Da Mao a huge blow."

 Everyone nodded.

The reasons have been explained, so, should we do it or not? This thing is a bit like gambling!

"Mr. Li, if we don't do something strange, then we have to give up the car to save the commander. We have already lost the shares of Chongming Island Shipyard, and we cannot lose more shares. Now when we do this, not only can we safely We can survive the economic crisis and continue to make a fortune! For us, this is a challenge and an opportunity!”

 “Okay, let’s follow!” Mr. Li finally nodded.

He doesn’t want to lose too much. Mingzhou Group has stood firm in this crisis and can even grow and develop. The Three Banks Group must not be left behind! With this opportunity, maybe they can become bigger and stronger?

He didn't know that he had fallen into a trap from the beginning, and now he was getting deeper and deeper. The last step was something he regretted deeply.

Pearl of the Orient, Gateway Building, a pretty figure stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the fireworks and sea view of Victoria Harbor.

“The person in charge of Sanhang Securities has decided to follow our footsteps!” A man in a suit and ties walked next to him and said softly.

"Okay, then let us take the Sanxing Group into hell!" The woman said: "After we finish this time, we will disappear and everyone will get countless wealth."

"yes!"

 The woman continued to look at the sea view and murmured to herself: "Brother, I have grown up and can help you do a lot of things."

Where is brother? where are you now?

Qin Tao is of course in the Far East, at the base of the Pacific Fleet. At this time, it is not only him, but also Wu Shengli who came here specially.

For the navy, this is also a rare opportunity to move from an offshore navy to an ocean-going navy. From now on, it will have to go out more!

“Tell me, what kind of warship is more suitable for our navy to dispatch?” Wu Shengli was thinking about these things along the way. When I saw Qin Tao at the airport, I immediately started chatting with him.

 The first question is, of course, the model of the warship to be dispatched! The most advanced Aegis battleship in the country has not yet been launched. Otherwise, it must be the Aegis battleship, and the other battleships are not eye-catching.

“Dad, since we are going out for exercises, of course we must send out our largest displacement warship.” Qin Tao said.

 The one with the largest displacement?

Now, the combat warship with the largest displacement in the country is the Glory-class cruiser. After the purchase, it was improved and became No. 138. When it showed off its muscles last year, it was not very complete, but now, it is in full combat status. . It would be good to bring this warship over to participate in the exercise. Let Da Mao see the results of our modification!

The Glorious class has the largest displacement. Slightly lower than it are the two modern-class ships purchased, namely No. 136 and No. 137. For this kind of joint exercise at sea, two or three warships are enough, and each one costs 10,000. Ton, two eight thousand tons, the scene must be very majestic!

 In other words, Qin Tao suggested sending a warship built by Yishui Lao Maozi to participate in the exercise?

“You don’t want to expose our strength?” Wu Shengli understood something immediately.

"Lao Maozi invited us to participate in joint maritime exercises. It is an opportunity and a challenge. If we are too close to Da Mao, many people will be irritated. Therefore, we must keep a low profile." Qin Tao said: "Send us a water If Lao Maozi's warships pass by, it can make the outside world think that we are nothing more than this, and we really have nothing to offer."

The first professional anti-aircraft destroyer is still under construction. It will be launched recently and then outfitted. It will take some time to enter service. Apart from this kind of warship, the only ones available in China are two 051Cs.

 As for No. 112 and No. 113, they have been reduced to useless existence, just wandering around the Bohai Bay.

Wu Shengli nodded: "Okay, then we will do as you say."

"Welcome, welcome to our Pacific Fleet." Nicholas also came over and stretched out his hand to Wu Shengli with a smile: "Mr. Qin and I are good friends, and you are Mr. Qin's father-in-law. We are all on our own." Man, if anything happens, we’ll discuss it.”

“Nicholas, thank you for taking care of my son-in-law these years.” Wu Shengli was also polite.

"Leader Wu, let's go to our dock now and admire our fleet. Currently, the flagship of our fleet is the Varyag cruiser. We attach great importance to this exercise and hope to serve as the flagship of our exercise formation. "

 Hearing what Nicholas said, Qin Tao felt very emotional.

In the most glorious 1980s, Mao’s Pacific Fleet was very large. At its peak, the Red Navy was very domineering. The Pacific Fleet had two Kiev-class aircraft carriers and one Kirov-class cruiser. Only these three warships had a displacement of Just over 100,000 tons.

What now?

These warships have all been retired. Even if the warships are still intact, Mao has no funds to maintain these warships. Of the two aircraft carriers, one was dismantled and the other became Asan's Super Sun King. As for the Kirov-class cruiser , I was so proud when I went to the Far East, and now I am lying on the dock, waiting for my final fate.

 The flagship of Mao’s Pacific Fleet is only the Glorious class with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons!

 In Mao's navy, the name of the Varyag was used many times, which is enough to illustrate the importance of this name.

The name Varyag comes from the Eastern Slavic name for the Vikings from Sweden, that is, the Varyakis. This nation was once extremely powerful, ruled Eastern Europe, and established the Rurik Dynasty, the first feudal dynasty in Maoist history. With the development of history, the Varyak people were gradually assimilated and became a branch of the Da Mao nation. The name Varyag was also passed down by the Da Mao people.

The first warship named after Varyag is a sail-steam hybrid three-masted light cruiser. Not to mention the other ships, the fourth is an aircraft carrier and the fifth is the Glory-class cruiser.

 A group of people came to the dock and looked at the rusty Varyag.

This guided missile cruiser is still relatively new. It is the third ship of the Type 1164 guided missile cruiser built by the 61 Commune Shipyard in Nikolayev. It was started in 1979, launched in 1983, and officially entered service at the end of 1989. Delivered to the Pacific Fleet.

 At first, its name was Red Ukraine. In the year when the aircraft carrier Varyag was abandoned, the name of the Red Ukraine was changed to Varyag, seemingly in memory of that great era.

Since this warship was built later, it is somewhat different from the other Glorious-class ships. For example, the missile launch tubes on both sides of it are stuffed with the latest P-1000 anti-ship missiles (3M70). , on its bridge, it also uses the latest МР-750 "Warshipbird-МА" radar.

Looking at the Varyag with its paint peeling off, Qin Tao suddenly felt a special feeling in his heart. When it came time for the official exercise, this rusty warship was placed together with his own brand new and improved warship. What would it be like?

 Should our side be more low-key and only dispatch two modern-class ships?

"This warship has a displacement of 10,000 tons. In this era, it is the most powerful war machine. Qin, according to you, our warship should be regarded as an arsenal ship." Nicholas was still very proud at this time. .

 A skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Look at the surrounding countries, and then look at the countries in Europe. Apart from aircraft carriers, which country has warships with a displacement of over 10,000 tons?

“Yes, this kind of warship is indeed very powerful.” Wu Shengli nodded and followed Nicholas to the deck.

The characteristic of Laomaozi's deck is the brick-red anti-rust paint, but now, this anti-rust paint has turned into dark red. Years of wind, sun and seawater erosion have made it lose its original color.

“By the way, you also have a warship of the same model. We are here for a joint military exercise this time. Do you want this warship to come with you?”

　　Unexpectedly, Nicholas actually extended the invitation personally?

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, we can send warship No. 138 over, and cooperate with our No. 136 and No. 137, plus a supply ship to form the entire formation. The subject of our maritime exercise..."

“How about communication drills, formation air defense, sea firing, joint maneuvers, joint anti-submarine and other subjects?” Nicholas said: “If necessary, our warship can also launch an anti-ship missile to join in the fun.”

Wu Shengli frowned.

 Qin Tao spoke: "Nicholas, I think these subjects are not good."

 “Not good? Why?”

"Now, the world's pattern has changed. For a long time, there will not be a confrontation between two military powers. It will be more about maintaining maritime transportation lines and solving some emergencies. The name of our exercise is How about calling it Peace 97? We are not targeting any country, but responding to brand-new challenges. The content of our exercise can include joint blockades, inspections and arrests, joint rescues and other subjects, aiming to demonstrate how both sides can jointly respond to maritime security threats. , the determination and ability to maintain international and regional peace and stability, and respond to various peace tasks in emergencies.”

Nicholas was a little curious: "Qin, we have never heard of what you said!"

The Mao Navy has always aimed at actual combat and engaged in various military operations, but it has never conducted this type of training.

"Times have changed, Nicholas, have you ever watched "Unrestricted Warfare"? If not, I can give you a few boxes, and you have to organize the officers and soldiers to learn from it. In the future, naval battles will not be fought like this. of."

“Unrestricted War? Qin, can you give me an example?”

“For example, our maritime fleet is suddenly hijacked by pirates. What should we do at this time?”

“That goes without saying, find the pirates’ lair, and then use the Marine Corps to kill them all!”

“If you do this, you won’t be afraid of crazy revenge from pirates? In the future, pirates will rob your cargo ship when they see it?”

“As long as all the pirates are eliminated, there will be no problem.”

Qin Tao was a little speechless. I have to say that this kind of approach is very stupid.

The fighting nation has always used fists to deal with pirates. Even in the later stages, the pirates kidnapped Da Mao's crew. When they found out, they were shocked and sent the people back. In the end, they were still taken away.

It is difficult to succeed in kidnapping meat stamps here, because Damao would rather accidentally injure meat stamps than let criminals go, which is completely different from the practices of other countries.

"However, it is good to learn more knowledge. Qin, please send the books and we will organize study." Nicholas quickly changed his mind.

If the joint exercise plan is too targeted, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. Moreover, Dongfang does not cause trouble and will not take too obvious actions. Qin Tao's proposal is also quite good.
