Warship of Great Power

Chapter 641: The mastermind behind the scenes emerges

Chapter 641 The mastermind behind the scenes emerges

Tony immediately blushed: "Of course not, what do you mean by that? I am a journalist, and I am safeguarding press freedom!"

"Okay, let's go ahead and look at the physical evidence. First of all, do you want to take a look at Ales? We put him in the cold storage of the ship and kept him well. When technology develops in the future, we may be able to revive him. "Qin Tao said.

 Cargo ships are sailing on the vast sea, and the crew cannot always eat canned food. They must have fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. Therefore, cold storages are built on the ships to preserve these foods.

Alles, who was frozen into a popsicle, was placed in the cold storage, his whole body covered with a layer of ice. After taking a few photos, the bold reporters did not dare to stay longer and turned around to leave.

"The videotape is in our captain's cabin. Only the captain knows this secret." Qin Tao said as he walked: "Of course, we admit that this is selfish. It is convenient for the captain to monitor the crew and for us to collect data. However, it is also convenient for us to collect data. It is precisely because we have arranged these devices in advance that our Mingzhou Group can maintain its reputation."

The captain's cabin was even more cramped, so Qin Tao simply moved the TV to the corridor outside to show everyone the scene.

 It was a little dark inside the cabin, so I couldn’t see very clearly. In addition, there is no 4K photography technology at the moment, so the pictures were all covered in snowflakes.

The reporters looked over and looked at the situation on the screen. A few minutes later, someone walked in, and then the valve was opened. Then, the figure of Havari appeared. The person who turned the valve was frozen. Haha. Vali runs away. Although the image is not very clear, the facts are very clear.

“Impossible, impossible, I suspect there is something wrong with this video!” Tony shouted loudly: “You forged it!”

"Fake? Mr. reporter, what are you trying to clear up?" Qin Tao looked at Tony: "I want to know, who are you?"

 “I’m Tony, reporter for Brandenburg Radio! What’s wrong? Any questions?”

"I have a question. This accident happened at four o'clock in the afternoon. Our video tape recorded the time, and our crew members can also testify. However, you guys reported it at 3:50 that afternoon. How did you do this because of this accident?”

What?

Other reporters were surprised. They didn't hear the specific time just now, so they didn't pay attention. Now, the comparison of this time is enough to explain the problem!

 "I, I, I..." Tony was incoherent and trembling all over.

"Your Excellency Hollebas, I think there is something wrong with this Tony. Now, please take him away for investigation, especially the source of his income to see if he has received a windfall recently."

“I am a German reporter, you have no right to do this to me!” Tony continued to shout.

"But this is a Greek natural gas ship. You should know that cargo ships are a country's flowing territory. Since you are standing here now, it is equivalent to standing on Greek territory. The Greek police have the power to lead The one who investigates you even has the power to judge you!"

Qin Tao said this to Tony, but the targets he faced were all the reporters present.

Olympus couldn't help it anymore, and he said: "Before I came, I accepted a sum of funds from 30 Heavy Industry, and they wanted me to record everything that happened here and tell them as soon as possible. However, , this is just funding to get the news first, not a bribe, I hope you don’t misunderstand.”

 Three Zero Heavy Industry!

 The mastermind behind the scenes is indeed 30 Heavy Industry!

Now, the real mastermind behind it can be revealed! Qin Tao secretly laughed in his heart. He had been tormenting the Southern Kimchi Country in the past and had not attacked the people of the island country. Now that the other party wants to do this, he should not blame himself for being rude!

"As long as you don't accept funds and cause malicious damage to our place, it doesn't matter. Everyone, you have seen all this now. I hope you can report the whole story of this matter fairly and openly, and clear our Mingzhou Group's name. We Mingzhou The group is also willing to make friends with you."

After Qin Tao finished speaking, Xu Zhengyang came over and gave each person a small envelope: "This is a small kindness."

Olympus opened the envelope, and inside was a small box. After opening it, it was dazzling, and it turned out to be a diamond!

Even though it’s not big, it’s definitely not cheap. It’s enough to buy a few killers to kill them! This move is much more generous than that of 30 Heavy Industry.

 They also have ideals in their hearts. They can report unfair things and maintain their image as media people. If they do not violate these and can still get money, then everyone will be happy.

The matter was settled just like that.

 Since 30 Heavy Industry wants to discredit Mingzhou Group in this way, let them have a taste of the power of the media!

 In the distant island country, several people were restless. They were all waiting for the investigation of the accident and the report back from the Hades.

“Five hours have passed, why haven’t you received any news yet?” Zengshan Male Beast said, “Is there something wrong?”

"There should be no problem." Inutaro Yamamoto said: "We spent a lot of money to invite Olympus to the scene, and he will definitely send us the results of the investigation as soon as possible. Then we can respond."

They have to keep it secret. They can only invite others to go. If reporters from the island country go up, it will be easy to expose them.

 “Ding ding, ding, ding, ding!” At this moment, the phone rang.

 Masuyama Yuju picked up the phone, and a panicked voice came from the phone: "Quick, watch TV, BDC's channelOne!"

This is the most famous TV station in Europe, with great influence. Moreover, people generally don’t say good things about the East!

Masuyama Yuju was full of doubts and asked Yamamoto Inutaro to turn on the TV.

 The figure of Olympus appeared inside.

"Dear viewers, the recent leak from the Hades has alarmed the whole world. We are all worried about the safety of LNG ships and the construction of Mingzhou Group's natural gas ships. Today, we boarded the Hades and finally found the We have learned the truth about the accident, now let’s follow our camera to the first scene of the accident.”

"It's a little dark here. It's the bottom of the cabin, a special evaporative natural gas collection device. Someone once twisted the valve here, causing a leak of liquefied natural gas. Yes, we have sufficient evidence to prove this. This accident , completely man-made, someone deliberately wanted to discredit the Mingzhou Group."

“Damn, it’s impossible, it’s impossible, how could he report like this?” Yamamoto Inutaro’s eyes widened in surprise: “He took our money, how could he do such a report!”

"The person who did this is the crew member Alles. Now, he has become a popsicle and is placed in the cold storage. As for the person behind Alles, we need to wait for the police to investigate the recent financial transactions of Alles, especially the The source of the inexplicable extra million dollars in his account would only be determined later.”

 It was cleared, it was cleared like this! This kind of deliberate frame-up is very bad. Once the public knows about it, the reputation of this company behind the conspiracy will be tarnished!

"Have the funds been handled cleanly? Will there be any problems?" Masuyama Yuju said: "Yamamoto-kun, if things really reach an irreversible point, then you will have no choice but to commit suicide!"

Inutaro Yamamoto’s face turned pale and his whole body was trembling.

This incident quickly became a hot topic. All TV stations and newspapers were reporting on it, making various speculations about the black hands behind it. Soon, some newspapers pointed the finger at the island country.

 Mingzhou Group’s natural gas ships have advanced technology and low operating costs, and have received a large number of orders. Their development has put great pressure on other shipyards in East Asia.

The shipbuilding industry of the South Kimchi Country has collapsed, and the shipbuilding industry of the island country is also building natural gas ships, and they are still backward MOSS tank natural gas ships, which are no longer popular in the market, so it is very likely that the people of the island country did it!

 Then, a shocking news was revealed by a third-rate tabloid.

 There is conclusive evidence that the extra one million US dollars in the account of Popsicle Alles was transferred from the account of Yamamoto Inutaro, the head of the Nagaki Shipyard under 30 Heavy Industries!

No matter what the conclusive evidence is, in short, as long as there is such news, report it first!

In this way, public opinion finally pointed at 30 Heavy Industry!

 The domestic media reported this matter even more vigorously.

“Hello everyone, this is Zhang Zhong talking about the program. Today, we are going to catch up on the popularity and call it Zhang Zhong talking about 30 Heavy Industry.” In the TV lens, the familiar image of Zhang Zhong appeared again.

Since the book "Unrestricted Warfare" accurately predicted what happened in the United States, as one of the authors of this book, Zhang Zhong has more fans, and his program has more people Tune in.

Today, Zhang Zhong is also going to say 30.

"Let's first take a look at the history of Mitsubishi. In 1873, founder Yataro Iwasaki bought all the assets of the Ninety-nine Chamber of Commerce at a low price and founded Mitsubishi Chamber of Commerce. At that time, it was just a small-scale shipping company with 10 ships. , but, ten years later, it developed into the king of shipping because of the war of aggression in 1874."

"During the Sino-Japanese War, the company's third president, Yahisa Iwasaki, and others established the Japan Press Association, donated a large amount of supplies, and made a fortune. Every war thereafter was inseparable. In the shadow of 30, World War I and World War II, 30 also made money from the war. Taking World War II as an example, they manufactured more than 17,000 military aircraft, 114 warships, 4,650 tanks and armored vehicles, and various A variety of arms and equipment, the most familiar of which are the Zero fighter and the Musashi warship, the largest in the world at the time."

 Two people were chatting in front of the TV.

"Taozi, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this? It will give a lot of people a headache." Wu Shengli said.

"It's other people's business to have headaches for others. In short, if someone bullies our Mingzhou Group, I have to beat him down!" Qin Tao said: "Throwing dirty water on us with conspiracy and conspiracy should be considered. What are the consequences! Dad, have you ever thought about how big a blow our Mingzhou Group would suffer if Hades really sank without that Havari this time? "

 When building natural gas ships, the issue of reputation is very important. Once the reputation is gone, customers will leave. Now, natural gas carriers are the most profitable core business among Mingzhou Group’s civilian ship construction.

“It’s not just your Mingzhou Group, our entire domestic shipyards will be affected.” Wu Shengli nodded: “It’s time to fight back.”

Mingzhou Group not only builds it itself, but also brings other shipyards to build it together. Dongfang has become the largest natural gas ship production base. If the outside world knows that Mingzhou Group’s natural gas ships are unreliable, then the entire Dongfang’s natural gas ship construction will be It's over.

"It's not a counterattack, it's a vigorous counterattack. Hum, our goal from now on is 30, we must defeat them!" Qin Tao said.

Thinking of this now, Qin Tao also felt that he was very lucky. If Hawari hadn't passed by, the other party would have succeeded!

Now, even if the next natural gas ship does have an accident, the outside world will first guess that it was a malicious frame-up, not a quality problem, because there are already lessons learned from the past.

“They are industrial overlords, and it’s not easy to overthrow them,” Wu Shengli said.

"A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest." Qin Tao said: "Even though they are huge monsters now, we still have ways to defeat them. As long as the **** is good, there is no corner that cannot be dug down. Dad, I have plenty of ways."

"Yes." Wu Shengli nodded: "I won't ask about this matter. You can figure it out yourself. By the way, we have arranged the floating nuclear power plant at sea. Let's go see the takeoff and landing of the J-31A. "

“Okay, I can go at any time. Just leave the floating nuclear power plant to the Third Design Office.” Qin Tao nodded.

 In his eyes, these are all trivial matters. Since the test flight of the J-31A has progressed to this stage, he has to join in the fun.

 What is a small matter to Qin Tao may not be to others.

 Inutaro Yamamoto, who was at the center of public opinion, was under tremendous pressure. When the Greek police officially announced that the source of Alles’s huge wealth was indeed related to 30 Heavy Industries, Inutaro Yamamoto’s life came to an end.

 He sat in his home, looking at the scene of the shipyard outside, wrote a suicide note with trembling hands, and then opened the window.

In the island country, there are many ways to end one's life. Because there are many trams, lying on the rails is very popular, but the sequelae are too great, because they will be claimed by the tram department. The best way is to walk into the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees, which is under Mount Fuji. The forest is beautiful and mysterious, but no body can be found in this way.

Inutaro Yamamoto could only open the window, then climbed up with trembling legs, then closed his eyes and leaned down.

When he received the news that Inutaro Yamamoto, the head of Nagaki Shipyard, fell from the building, Qin Tao was on the 001 aircraft carrier, observing the take-off and landing training of carrier-based aircraft with his father-in-law.

In the past, takeoff and landing training was conducted with the beautiful J-15. In the mouth of the pilots, this kind of fighter was called the Blue Shark, but this time it was a yellow-skinned aircraft.

“The descent path is correct, continue descending!” the landing director’s voice came over the radio.

 “Wild dog received, continue descending!”

When he heard this voice, Qin Tao also became curious: "Is it Delano?"

Unexpectedly, Delano actually flew J-31A?

"Yes, when the J-31A entered the Wasteland Village base, Delano became interested in this aircraft. He is the most experienced carrier-based aircraft pilot here. Therefore, the first aircraft of this kind of fighter Once he lands on the ship, it's up to him to fly," Captain Li Yan said.

"Yes, his flight is impeccable, and our test pilot doesn't know how to land on an aircraft carrier, so he is doing all the test flights now." Pleshakov said: "When the carrier-based aircraft takes off and lands, this aircraft The aircraft is considered to have completely completed all test flight subjects."

"Have you completed all the subjects?" Qin Tao frowned: "The progress is a bit fast!"

“Yes, we think it is very fast, but it has been five or six years since the initial development. This fighter has now been finalized, which can be considered a normal development process.”

"Why is it normal? This is a fourth-generation aircraft." Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: "By the way, has the radar been replaced with an active phased array?"

Pleshakov shook his head: "Not yet."

“Since it’s not there yet, it has not been finalized. Next, we have to conduct avionics test flights. This is a fourth-generation aircraft. How can we not have an active phased array radar?”

“But this has nothing to do with us. It’s all because the 14 institutes failed to provide qualified radars in time.”

 “Then wait a moment, don’t be in a hurry. Look, our fighter plane has landed!”

While everyone was watching, the J-31A with an unusual shape landed steadily on the deck. As soon as the front wheel fell down, the rear landing hook hooked the second arresting cable, and then moved forward. After gliding for a while, it came to a steady stop.

“Let’s go down to welcome the hero.” Qin Tao said.

Just as everyone was walking off the bridge, Xu Zhengyang walked up to Qin Tao's ear and whispered a few words.

"Falled off? Well, it's okay. This is just the beginning." Qin Tao said.

 This is just the beginning? Xu Zhengyang also felt a little emotional. If Mr. Qin wants to take revenge on others, that would definitely be the most terrifying thing.

“Mr. Qin, what should we do next?”

 “Next, we need to arrange some things in Europe…”

By the time they walked down, the J-31A had been towed to the take-off point by the deck tractor, but it had not yet begun preparations for take-off. Delano climbed out of the plane excitedly and said to the people below: "This The controllability of the aircraft is good, it is lighter and easier to fly! Qin, will this kind of fighter be deployed on the aircraft carrier next?"

“Delano, didn’t you like heavy fighters before?”

 “That was before, now, I like all the fighters from the East!”

“This kind of fighter has insufficient thrust-to-weight ratio and insufficient maneuverability. Do you also like it?”

"Yes, Mr. Qin, what you said is correct, but it has stealth properties. Think about it, if I fly this kind of fighter into the sky in the future, no one will notice my existence, and I can quietly launch sneak attacks on the target. , especially the enemy’s most valuable early warning aircraft, isn’t this interesting?”

Qin Tao also smiled.

 Delano has always been such a character. His code name is Wild Dog, but he is actually a mad dog. Once Delano reaches the sky, no one can control his behavior, and he can do many bold things.

In the past, non-stealth aircraft could be seen by radar on the ground. When flying this kind of stealth aircraft, as long as the data link is turned off, even one's own side will not know his existence. This is exactly the result he wants most. No one can do it in the future. It interfered with his flight!

"Delano, you should know that if this kind of aircraft wants to covertly engage the enemy, its own radar cannot be turned on. It can only rely on the intelligence support provided by the data link of the rear AWACS aircraft. Without the support of the AWACS aircraft, it loses its value. .”

Delano thought about it carefully and then nodded: "Okay, you are right. In the era of fourth-generation aircraft, air combat tactics will change a lot. We must also study this new tactic in order to be successful in the future." Gain advantage on the battlefield.”

 “That’s right, Delano, you are an excellent pilot who is willing to study hard!”

“This kind of stealth aircraft is a weapon that will change the future of air combat. Leader Wu, can our 001 aircraft carrier be equipped with this kind of fighter?” Li Yan was looking forward to it.

“Not yet.” Wu Shengli shook his head: “At present, this kind of aircraft is not yet mature. Our aircraft carrier hangar is also designed according to the J-15. When new aircraft carriers are built in the future, we may consider carrying this kind of fighter.”

"Our aircraft carrier can carry a small number of aircraft, so heavy fighter jets are the most suitable." Qin Tao agreed from the side: "This medium-sized aircraft is still single-engine. It is estimated that the Navy will have a lot of concerns. However, when our The vertical take-off and landing type has been successfully developed. If the Navy wants to build an amphibious assault ship, it can be used as the best equipment."

During the development, Qin Tao had no intention of using this aircraft for the Navy. He originally planned to sell it to foreign countries and seize the American joint fighter market. Now, the Navy wants to use it for its own use, and there are many problems. However, on the amphibious assault ship, It's definitely a good helper.

“Amphibious assault ship?” This was the first time Li Yan heard this term.

“Yes, in the future our navy will not only have a large number of aircraft carriers, but also a large number of amphibious assault ships. In the future, just like the US Navy, all aircraft will be carrier-based.”

"These are things for the future. For now, it is good to solve the problem of our carrier-based early warning aircraft first." Wu Shengli said: "You can't become fat with one bite!"

“Report, the fighter plane has completed all inspections before takeoff!”

At this moment, a deck worker came to report.

 “Then take off!”

Everyone did not return to the bridge. They were just at the bottom of the bridge, watching the special-shaped fighter plane from a distance. Even though they were wearing earmuffs, they could still hear the roar of the engine. The fighter plane skillfully slid to the jump deck. Then soar into the sky!

This takeoff marks that the J-31A officially has the ability to deploy and can follow the aircraft carrier formation at any time to perform special missions! Naval aviation has therefore entered a new era!
