Chapter 774 The first customer of the package plan for a weak country and a strong army

 He was very angry, the loss was too small!

After he finished complaining, he received a call from the old man, so he could only slowly come to the island again and meet the old man.

"This is a bad start. Someone actually started to take advantage of our oil platform!" The old man looked at Americo in front of him angrily: "This is your navy's dereliction of duty!"

"Report, our navy is too weak and there is nothing we can do to deal with this kind of behavior." Americo said: "We currently only have a few patrol boats, how can we protect this sea area."

“Didn’t you say that you are going to order two frigates? Once you get the frigates, you will be able to do so, right?”

"I'm sorry, two frigates are not enough." Americo said: "You probably don't know how to fight against pirates. Now, let me introduce it to you. First of all, we must be able to detect each other, which means that we Early warning helicopters or other fighter jets are needed to constantly search the sea surface and look for suspicious situations at any time."

“Frigates can carry early warning helicopters.” The old man said, don’t think you don’t understand, aren’t they helicopters? It can be carried on cruise ships.

“However, the number of helicopters on the frigate is limited. If it carries an early warning helicopter, it will not be able to carry combat personnel. In this way, even if pirates are discovered, there is no way to stop them.”

 “Isn’t there another one?”

"Our sea area is vast. When patrolling, the two warships must be separated. Moreover, this must take into account the fact that the two warships are deployed at full duty. In fact, in addition to being deployed, our warships also have to return to the port to rest. There are maintenance equipment, and under normal circumstances, it can only maintain a patrol status."

“What if we purchase four ships?”

  If it is not necessary, the old man will never agree to the proposal to purchase an aircraft carrier. You know, this aircraft carrier is a bit weird. It not only has aircraft, but also amphibious combat vehicles!

"If we purchase four ships, it will be enough to deal with some small-scale pirates. However, I am worried that pirate organizations will develop rapidly. If there is one, there will be two or three. In the Gulf of Aden, with so many warships escorting us, we cannot completely eliminate them." Pirates, we only have four warships, so what can we do?" Americo said.

 “Must have an aircraft carrier?”

"Yes, there must be an aircraft carrier. With an aircraft carrier, we can dispatch a large number of fighter planes to patrol the air at any time. Once pirates are found, we will attack them as soon as possible. And, more importantly, with an aircraft carrier, we can solve the problem The pirates' lair, when we find the pirate gathering point, we will quickly move over and use our amphibious combat vehicles to land on it, so that we can completely eliminate the pirates." Américo said: "The attack power of this aircraft carrier It is very powerful. To be on the safe side, when the purchase comes back, please send your son to be the captain of this aircraft carrier."

The old man looked at Americo meaningfully. What did he mean? Doesn't he have second thoughts?

 Mingzhou.

“Taozi, your business is getting bigger and bigger, one aircraft carrier after another.” Wu Shengli, who was passing by, sat with his son-in-law, looking at the busy scene of the shipyard outside the window, and said with emotion.

"This order is more meaningful. It is not an aircraft carrier, but an amphibious assault ship." Qin Tao said: "The customer also requires the use of gas turbines. As long as the customer places an order, we can mature this warship and wait until the Navy When bidding, we will definitely provide the most perfect solution.”

The bidding has become a formality. No shipyard can compare with Mingzhou Group. The amphibious assault ship will definitely fall on Mingzhou Group.

“Yes, our navy needs amphibious assault ships, which can be matched with our vertical take-off and landing fighters.” Wu Shengli said.

"Vertical take-off and landing fighter jets are only part of it. Our helicopter project must also be accelerated. Fortunately, we have already started to develop the engines needed for ten-ton helicopters." Qin Tao said: "There are also air-cushion landing craft and the like, which must be developed. , our navy must be capable of fulfilling the mission entrusted to us by the motherland."

"Yes, with these equipment, the navy's amphibious warfare capabilities can reach a new level." Wu Shengli said: "However, don't the Guineans know about such a powerful attack power? Can they allow the navy to have such a powerful attack power?" A weapon?"

Although most people there are illiterate, those senior officials still have brains. After all, they have to manage the country and beware of possible civil strife.

“Of course not, so if Americo wants the old man to sign, he has to think of other ways.” Qin Tao said.

 “Pirate?”

 “Dad, you are so smart.”

"How clever am I? I just heard such a report on the way here. I didn't expect that it was actually your boy who instigated it."

"Dad, you have wronged me. Am I that kind of person? Our Mingzhou Group has always had a positive image internationally. Recently, we have just smashed the conspiracy of some conspirators to throw dirty water on us. You are our My own people can’t throw dirty water on me.”

Wu Shengli smiled: "Taozi, let's not talk about this anymore. Your Mingzhou Group wants to go there to mine. This requires a stable environment. If there is war there, all your investment will be in vain."

"Of course, even if they place an order, it will take time for us to schedule production, and we have to wait until the iron ore and bauxite are dug out before we have the money to start construction for them." Qin Tao said, "Besides, As long as the agreement is signed, what can Guinea's army do? The navy is so strong, what about the army? The army must also have advanced weapons! Even if they only purchase our 59 modified tanks, they will still have an overwhelming advantage over amphibious tanks."

Since water navigation capabilities must be taken into consideration, amphibious equipment is thin-skinned and large-filled. It is good if it can block small-caliber bullets. Armor-piercing projectiles fired from tank guns can easily destroy it.

 So, even if the navy has strong force, the army can easily kill their landing equipment. However, if air superiority is taken into account, this is not necessarily the case.

 When both sides have strength, a balance is formed.

Moreover, even if there is civil strife, it will definitely be fought on that island. It has nothing to do with the iron ore area. Some people may be concerned about the gold mine and diamond mine. Those things are valuable after all, but the iron ore and bauxite mine are different. A 100-ton vehicle The iron ore Wang transported was only a few thousand dollars or tens of thousands of yuan, which was not as valuable as that car.

Wu Shengli nodded.

 At this moment, Zhao Ling came over.

“I just received news that multiple pirate gangs have appeared in Guinea. One of the gangs also set fire to the drilling platform, and their crude oil production has been reduced rapidly.”

"This movement is really big." Qin Tao sighed with emotion: "With the decrease in crude oil production, the old man should be anxious. He will probably be impatient to place an order. Unfortunately, we have to wait here. How about selling them a few 022 emergency ships first? "

  Anyway, once the agreement is signed, there is no room for regret. Qin Tao is still very considerate of his customers.

“One more thing.” Zhao Ling continued: “The second buyer came to the door.”

"Oh? Who is coming this time?" Qin Tao is not going to guess, because he will guess wrong every time. Even if he guesses this time, it probably won't be correct, which will damage his glorious image. This can't be blamed. For him, the main reason is that customers are too difficult to figure out.

 “Yilak.” Zhao Ling said.

Wu Shengli shook his head helplessly: "According to relevant rules, we cannot sell weapons to them, and this transaction cannot be done."

Yilak probably came for that package plan. If they get all the equipment from aircraft carriers to escorting warships and submarines, they can become the king of the region. However, if they really do it, then Mingzhou Group will Being targeted by many conspirators behind the scenes, this is much more serious than the last Laiyang steel pipe incident.

“Yes, even the 022 speedboat cannot be sold to them.” Qin Tao said.

"It's a pity that we have to reject such a good customer." Zhao Ling said, "Then I will reject them."

"Don't worry, wait." Qin Tao said: "Now that they are here, we can't let them go back empty-handed."

Zhao Ling was a little confused. Should she sell it or not?

“Their existence is of great significance, especially because they can defeat the Yankees. These recent conspiracies were all hatched by the Yankees. If we don’t fight back, how can we deal with them?”

Others don’t know it, but Qin Tao knows it. Those arms dealers on the other side of the ocean can’t wait to fight. Even if they don’t have international authorization, they will continue to fight. Otherwise, what is the meaning of their existence?

Persimmons are picked up from the weak ones, and Silly Damu is their target.

Now that the other party has sent someone, of course Qin Tao will give some well-intentioned suggestions.

 What they can achieve in the end is their destiny, but they should be reminded when they need to be reminded.

 “Taozi, you have to think about it carefully.” Wu Shengli reminded.

"Of course I've thought about it. Now, don't we face enough slander? In the future, they will slander us for having contact with Yilak. Of course we can't admit it. We didn't build warships for Yilak." Qin Tao said: "But during the day There are many people, so it’s best to stay at night. Arrange their accommodation first, in a more remote room."

In the guest house, several bearded men were worried. They came here on an important mission, but it was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Depending on the situation, Mr. Qin did not intend to see them. This time they were going to return without success. ?

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside.

“Everyone, I’m very sorry, because I’m too busy at work and I haven’t had time to come over until now.” Qin Tao said to the bearded people.

“Mr. Qin, I’m very happy to meet you.” The leader on the other side said: “My name is...”

"No introduction is needed, let's get straight to the point. Everyone, I regret to tell you that you can't buy any weapons and equipment from us." Qin Tao said: "I'm sorry."

The other party came here just to talk about this? The bearded face looks ugly.

They heard about the package plan from the East and were very interested. After some planning, they came quietly, hoping to gain something, but now, they have nothing!

 They have money, but they can't buy anything.

what to do?

“However, I can recommend something to you.” Qin Tao said: “First of all, have you heard of drones?”

 Drones? Of course I have heard of this, but this thing is also for military use. Can the Mingzhou Group use civilian excuses to sell their drones to themselves?

"At last year's air show, in addition to military drones, there were also several civilian manufacturers displaying civilian drones. The technology of these drones is still good. Although there are many no-fly restrictions in your sky. However, it is normal for you to operate some civilian model aircraft, and it is normal for some of them to accidentally hit something during flight, causing the battery to catch fire and explode."

The eyes of a few bearded men lit up. They used to only look at military equipment and ignored civilian equipment. It seems that there are many ways to do this.

Taking tanks as an example, the top is the most vulnerable. If you operate a drone, fly over the top of the opponent's tank, and then explode directly, you may still be able to kill those **** M1 tanks!

 Buy, you must buy, and you must buy in large quantities, so that you can have the ability to fight back!

 “Is there any more?” The bearded man started to get excited.

"There are also mines. This kind of thing can be deployed with small ships. If someone is disadvantageous to you, then you can scatter these things all over the bay, especially outside the port where the opponent's navy is located. Throw them a few Circle, if they are lucky and hit a few ships, their combat effectiveness will be weakened."

“Mines? In addition to mines, can we purchase some small submarines?”

 In their southern waters, in the shallow sea, small submarines are the most suitable choice.

“I’m sorry, we don’t have small submarines.” Qin Tao said: “You can consider other countries, such as the North Kimchi Country.”

Qin Tao controlled his impulse. He originally wanted to sell them some small underwater robots, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. The money was not easy to make.

 “Is there any more?”

"If there is anything else, all the people should be soldiers." Qin Tao said: "You need to train ordinary people so that they can use weapons. You don't need too many, just light weapons. If you encounter the worst situation, you can also fight with them. They fight unrestricted warfare, I have a book here, you can study it when you go back."

Qin Tao took out the book Unrestricted Warfare. For a weak country, this book is of great significance and can guide them on how to fight in unfavorable situations. Moreover, the methods of warfare are diversified, making it difficult for opponents to guard against them.

Qin Tao can't help Sha Damu change his destiny, but there is still no problem in bleeding more blood to the superpower.

 “Is there any more?” the bearded man continued to ask.

"If there is anything else, then it is to learn from the people near you. Aren't they using steel pipes and gas tanks to make rockets? You can also learn from them. Of course, it is not limited to these. You can also use some without Exploded grenade warheads to make roadside bombs..."

Hearing Qin Tao's words, the bearded man's face suddenly changed: "Mr. Qin, what do you mean by these words, if we are hit again, we will not be able to escape misfortune?"

 Nonsense, the air control is gone, your blood has been drained by others, you still want to win? What are you dreaming about?

"No, of course not." Qin Tao had to shake his head: "I am just providing you with some reference opinions. These are the contents of Unrestricted Warfare. You can see and understand for yourself. I wish you can regain the No. 4 ranking in the world. The glory of a military power.”

The bearded man's expression changed several times, and then he took a long breath. In fact, he knew clearly in his heart what the intention of Qin Tao's words was. Now, he just took their faces into consideration.

 “Thank you, Mr. Qin.”

 Qin Tao left their room, and they had a book called Unrestricted Warfare in their hands, and they began to read it carefully.

The contents of this book seem to be very suitable for guiding the current war in the Imperial Cemetery. Will our country also follow this path in the future? The bearded man was hesitating and hesitating in his heart. He knew that he must not talk about this matter when he went back, otherwise the furious Silly Dam would kill him with a shot. He had to study slowly and think about it slowly. If that day comes, he You can also continue to fight.

Qin Tao didn't bother with these bearded men anymore. They left quietly the next day. Qin Tao also had a lot of things to be busy with. For example, Americo came again, this time with a bag full of excited.

"Mr. Qin, your suggestion is really great. It perfectly solved our problem. The old man has already signed the document and will follow the order we negotiated!"

"Mr. Américo, I think you seem to have some misunderstanding. I have never made any suggestions to you." Qin Tao said: "Except for the parameters of the ordered warships, we have no other transactions."

Américo was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, you are right, we have no other transactions. I just said it wrong. Next, let's talk about the specific contract details. When can you Has the construction been completed for us?”

"Other frigates and submarines can easily be built within a few months. However, if the aircraft carrier built for you is to be built in the dock, you have to wait for the ship to be launched." Qin Tao pointed in the direction of the dock.

The Mingzhou Group's construction progress is very fast. After the 002 aircraft carrier was started, it was built day and night. The speed was super fast. However, no matter how fast it is, it takes time to accumulate. It doesn't take one or two years to build the aircraft carrier over there. There is definitely no way to get out of the dock.

Americo's expression changed again: "How long do we have to wait?"

"The construction of an aircraft carrier can easily take more than ten years. We can compress it to less than five years. This is already the limit." Qin Tao said: "If you want to place an order today, you can get the goods tomorrow. , that can only be a model."

This sentence is correct, Americo nodded: "Okay, I hope you will build it as soon as possible."

"Moreover, it will take time for us to develop the mine from you, so we can't be in a hurry." Qin Tao said, "Next, let's talk about the development of the mine. After the details are finalized, we will dispatch Engineering team."

 “Okay.” Americo nodded.

 Eastern China and the Guinea Navy finalized an arms sales order, becoming the first customer of East Asia to launch a package plan for a weak country and strong military. This matter quickly spread around the world and people talked about it.

There is no need for weak countries to pay. As long as they sign an ore mining agreement, they can provide weapons and equipment. In the whole process, weak countries only need to write and sign the agreement. They don’t need to worry about anything else. All projects belong to Mingzhou Group. Many weak countries are tempted to do so.

The mineral resources are on their land, and they do not have the ability to mine them themselves, nor do they have the ability to replace them with weapons and equipment. Now, they only need to hand them over to the Mingzhou Group. For them, this is really convenient. Got it!

Some people are happy about this. In Kangaroo Country, after BHP Company heard about this agreement, they felt how wise their choice was.

The East has rapidly expanded its iron ore import channels. Football countries, Damao, and grassland countries are not enough. They have also signed an agreement with Guinea to mine Guinea's iron ore.

Guinea's iron ore reserves are 20 billion tons, and they are also rich in iron ore. Once the iron ore there is mined, the world's iron ore will become even more surplus, and the price of their iron ore may have to be further reduced. Thanks to the long-term mining agreement, otherwise their iron ore would be even less valuable.

 At the same time, they are also regretting that it would have been better if they had not provoked the Mingzhou Group!

At first they thought they could occupy a monopoly in the world, but they didn't expect that after the Mingzhou Group started messing around like this, they realized how naive their ideas were! Later, they also fantasized about talking to Vale and jointly raising the price of iron ore. But now, with so many ore sources coming out, if they still want to raise the price, they are causing trouble for themselves.

Furthermore, Vale may not necessarily listen to them. After all, we are still in a competitive relationship.

 Now, they only have fear.

Some other weak countries have also begun to think about it. Their domestic minerals are not valuable. If they cannot be mined, they are worthless. It seems to be a good idea to hand over these minerals to the Mingzhou Group for mining in exchange for warships. Even some landlocked countries are tempted by the choice. We don’t want warships, but tanks, planes and cannons, okay?

 For a time, the tide surged.

 Qin Tao, who single-handedly started this trend, has already begun to think about vacation.

"Our workers have worked hard for another whole year. This year, we have to negotiate how to distribute the year-end bonus. We must make the workers feel happy." Qin Tao said to the people in the conference room.

"Mr. Qin, according to the old rules, we still pay them two months' salary as their year-end bonus. Now our wages are constantly increasing. The most skilled old workers can already get more than 5,000 yuan a month." Well, my salary for these two months is ten thousand yuan, which is not a small amount of money."

  In 1999, the national average salary was 623.25 yuan. Don’t underestimate this small amount of money. In later generations, it will cost about ten times. Just look at the food. A large portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes is enough for two yuan, but in later generations, it will cost twenty yuan. (In 1999, when the hero of East China was in high school, he had three meals a day at a small restaurant outside the school. A large portion of scrambled eggs with tomatoes cost two yuan. He was deeply impressed. Now, it costs twenty yuan, and the quantity is only half of what before. .)

Qin Tao nodded: "Two months' salary is quite a lot. Let's give out some new year's goods. We will also do some high-tech this year. Each person will be given a computer as the new year's goods. How about that?"
