Chapter 795 Friends are still reliable

  American aircraft carriers are rarely sold to others.

This is of course because in the eyes of the Americans, their aircraft carrier performance is too advanced and its attack power is too strong. They cannot sell it to other countries, so as not to threaten themselves, not even a follower like the United Kingdom. Of course , The British are also proud in their hearts, and it is impossible to buy a second-hand aircraft carrier from the United States.

  A second-hand aircraft carrier in the United States was either sunk as a target, or used as a museum, or entered a shipbreaking yard. There is no precedent for it to be exiled to other countries. In later generations, it is said that Ah San was considered to sell the Kitty Hawk, but for some reason, there was no result in the end.

  In Austin’s eyes, the big dogs should be so grateful that they come to kneel and lick, not to mention one or two billion, and they are willing to double it!

  But now, the expressions of these people seem to be wrong!

   "Mr. Austin, we have studied it, and we are not suitable for an aircraft carrier of this level." Salman said.

   "Not suitable? Why?" Austin was moved, but the other party actually refused!

   "Because the water here is too shallow, we can't adapt to an aircraft carrier of 80,000 to 90,000 tons. Our current aircraft carrier of 30,000 to 40,000 tons is already the limit." Salman said: "So, I am very sorry."

"Are you going to reject our offer?" Austin's tone became cold: "We have never sold an aircraft carrier to any country. Buy scraps, and don't want to ask for an advanced super aircraft carrier from us?"

   "Of course not, Mr. Austin, you really misunderstood us." Fahd said: "We already know your kindness, now, let us discuss it ourselves, how about it?"

discuss? This still needs to be discussed? Don't you just nod your head?

  Austin was very dissatisfied, but it's not good to get stuck, it can only make these people more determined to choose the aircraft carrier in the East, so he can only leave.

  When Salman didn't come, he had already talked with Fahd for a while, and he was obviously very interested. Why did he change his mind now?

  After Austin went out, Fahd looked at Salman: "Salman, why are you so dissatisfied?"

"Even if we bought that aircraft carrier, it is not ours. It will only become their puppets. They will arrange instructors on it. Without the instructor's order, our aircraft cannot be dispatched at all, and even our aircraft carrier cannot be dispatched." start up."

"Why?"

  Fahd was surprised.

  So, Salman talked about the modification of the C-130 early warning aircraft.

  Fahd's face became serious.

   "That is to say, they have tampered with the weapons we purchased, in order to better monitor us?"

"Yes, these weapons can only be used for surveillance now, but if there are more advanced weapons, more digitization and informatization, and more chips inside, they will be able to control them better, for example , if we purchase F-18 carrier-based aircraft, then if we want to fly to the country of David, it is very likely that the aircraft will be out of our control and turn back midway.”

  Fahd's face darkened even more.

"We must purchase oriental weapons that have no conflict of interest with us, and they will not cause any interference with our weapons. Our brave pilots have already carried out missions to fly to the target, and they have not been discovered back and forth, and there have been no accidents." "So, I am strongly opposed to continuing to buy American-made weapons. This is the first reason," Salman said.

   Is there a second reason?

"The second reason is that we don't have much money, and we simply can't satisfy the appetite of the Americans. We still use these precious funds to purchase more useful weapons. This time, I have seen Dongfeng-21 in the east. , we need to spend more than 20 billion to purchase 20 missiles, which are our most important deterrent weapons."

   "We don't have so much money in our treasury," Fahd said.

   "The Orientals have agreed, they can sign an oil import agreement with us, and exchange these weapons with oil."

  Fahd nodded: "Okay, so what are you waiting for? We need more advanced strategic weapons to protect our motherland!"

   Austin left the resplendent building in annoyance and returned to the Prince Sultan Air Force Base. He was still very angry.

   "Damn it, these people seem to be determined to mess with the Orientals, and they are indifferent to our kindness, **** it, really **** it!"

   "Yeah, these people have forgotten who is protecting them!" Robert, the person in charge of the base, was also extremely annoyed: "Next, they should drive us away!"

In 1990, a war broke out here that no one wanted to see. As the big brother here, of course, the big dog must uphold justice. Therefore, they invited the Americans to come in. The Prince Sultan Air Force Base also began to provide for Americans.

However, when the operation was just started, it was just a bare airstrip, and the personnel mainly slept in tents. After that, the Americans used it as the most important base in the Middle East and started to build it. As for the money, of course it is a dog The big family came out.

So far, a large-scale living center that can accommodate thousands of people has been built here. Two or three people share a room, with TVs, computers, Internet, restaurants, and even better for the troops stationed here. The hosts also paid nearly six million dollars to build a large fitness center for them.

   Here has become a spectacle in the desert.

  In the eyes of Americans, they are protecting the big dogs!

  While Robert was speaking, there was the roar of a fighter plane outside. It was a patrol fighter plane preparing to take off to implement the no-fly zone mission. Robert took a sip of his cigar: "Shall we give them some ruthlessness?"

   Ruthless?

  Austin's eyes widened. After listening to Robert's narration, his eyes gradually brightened: "That's right, we have to give them a hard time!"

  The night in the desert was very hot. In the deserted desert, a pickup truck appeared, pulling several wooden boxes behind it. The wheels stirred up yellow sand, and the sand was billowing. After some running, it docked next to a big thick pipe.

  Boom!

  The next morning.

   "Damn, what's going on?" Fahd's face was extremely ugly.

   "It has been confirmed that it was damaged by a car bomb and is being repaired. It is expected to be repaired within half a day." A person in charge said.

   "Car bomb?"

"Yes."

   "The timing of the bomb explosion, isn't it too strange?" Salman said with a gloomy face, there is no guarantee that there will be no conspiracy behind it!

"In 1996, the U.S. military was attacked by a truck bomb in the northeast of our country, killing 17 U.S. soldiers. After this incident, we invested a lot of money to renovate the Prince Sultan Air Force Base, so that the Americans can better protect us. , Now, there is a similar explosion, this time, what purpose is the person behind it planning to achieve?"

   "Report, Mr. Robert please see."

  Robert walked in with easy steps.

"Honorable Your Excellency Fahd, I am here to convey to you the order of the White House. Considering that our ongoing war in the Imperial Cemetery requires a large number of troops, we will reduce the number of troops stationed in your side. A large number of troops will Will be transferred to the Imperial Graveyard."

  Going?

  Fahd said: "You are here to maintain peace here. Now, you can't leave. If you leave, our situation will be a bit difficult."

"We have no choice. We originally wanted to deepen our relationship with you, but who would have thought that your position has gradually changed. We still have to fight the war in the Imperial Cemetery. There is nothing serious here for the time being. We just want to I can leave now. Of course, if you want us to stay, it is not impossible, but I just need to ask you to show more sincerity." Robert said.

  Everyone present was silent.

   Salman clenched his fists.

   East.

   "Dalieshan is building a nuclear reactor assembly plant." Krasnopolsky said to Qin Tao: "The equipment here is very advanced, and most of them have realized automation. We are very confident in the production here."

If Mingzhou Group wants to build a nuclear submarine, it must assemble a nuclear reactor, and if it wants to build a floating nuclear power plant at sea, it must also assemble a nuclear reactor. After Qin Tao's proposal and the experts' demonstration, they finally put the assembly of the nuclear reactor in Dalieshan. Now, there is no People talk about nuclear discoloration, and no one will protest because of the assembly of nuclear reactors. After all, Mingzhou Group supports half of the sky in Mingzhou's finances. More than half of Mingzhou people rely on Mingzhou Group to support them. How could they come here? Forced.

   Krasnopolsky is in charge of the project here. After all, he is an expert in nuclear reactors. Moreover, after completing the construction of the assembly plant, it is time to start construction of a brand new nuclear reactor!

  This is a nuclear reactor for aircraft carriers, with a higher thermal power, and he is looking forward to it.

Qin Tao nodded: "For us Mingzhou Group, this is a new beginning. With the development of the global economy, countries need more and more energy. Clean nuclear energy is the best choice for many countries. Sea floating nuclear power plants It can also solve environmental protection problems in many countries, so there will be a lot of demand in the future, and we must vigorously develop the nuclear energy industry.”

   "Yes, I am optimistic about this industry." Krasnopolsky said: "We are for the benefit of mankind."

  Unknowingly, Mingzhou Group has added another branch company, a company specializing in assembling nuclear reactors. It is absolutely tall when you say it!

  Zhao Ling followed Qin Tao with a smile for a hundred years, feeling the continuous growth of Mingzhou Group's business. At this moment, the phone rang. She picked it up and frowned.

   "Boss Qin, something happened in the group, and you need to go back and deal with it."

   "Okay, Krasnopolsky, you continue to work here, and I will come to see you when I am free."

  Take a boat from Dalieshan to the opposite side, which is the shipyard of Mingzhou Group. When Qin Tao came to the meeting room of the shipyard, he saw Salman with an eager face inside.

   "Mr. Salman, you came back so soon?" Qin Tao was very curious. Salman came here secretly this time, and he didn't say hello in advance. What happened?

   "Yes, Mr. Qin, we have encountered a major event that is difficult to decide, and I want to hear what you can do."

  Salman was anxious and told what happened recently.

   After listening to it, Qin Tao felt a little helpless. This matter happened so quickly that anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on, but the other party still did it. Why?

   They have no fear, they just want to threaten people with their knives, but they are still too stupid to do so! (Khan, I don't know if I will be scolded for lowering my opponent's intelligence.)

   "Do you really want to hear my opinion?" Qin Tao asked.

"Yes."

   "My opinion is very simple." Qin Tao said: "Since they want to leave, let them go. After they leave, such similar things will definitely not happen."

  Qin Tao has any comments? Let the big dog kneel and lick, cry bitterly and admit his mistakes? Now this opportunity is just right, and it just happened to be easy to send the Americans away. It was originally easy to ask God to send God away, but now that God wants to leave by himself, can he not satisfy their request?

   "But what if they're gone and this keeps happening?"

"Don't think about it, you already hated the West for various reasons, but a few years ago you invited the Americans to use your bases and station troops in your country, and some of them were dissatisfied because of this reason, Some bold ideas were even generated because of this, and when the Americans are gone, these people will no longer be angry, and naturally they will not do violent things anymore." Qin Tao said: "Moreover, this incident, the meaning of some people's directing It's too strong."

  Even if they had this speculation in their minds, they didn't dare to question each other face to face, it was really aggrieved.

"Okay. I admit what you said, but our army is still too small. The total number of the army is only a few hundred thousand, and the army is only tens of thousands. Once encountering a situation, it is impossible to respond in time." Salman said .

   This is also a real problem before them: their army is too small.

  They have a large number of citizens and a vast country. However, their country is too rich, so few people are willing to serve as soldiers. Even if the country provides various preferential treatment, it is still too hard to be a soldier.

  They have a lot of wealth, but they don't have the ability to protect this wealth. This is the biggest problem.

"Mercenaries." Qin Tao said bluntly: "If you have money, it's all right? You can recruit some people from surrounding countries to be mercenaries. It doesn't take too much. If you recruit 10,000 people, one AK is enough. They patrol along the pipeline every day to see who else dares to sabotage."

Salman's eyes lit up, 10,000 people are enough to patrol the oil pipeline, and they are not as large as their own army, and they are only given the lowest weapons. Therefore, if these mercenaries want to rebel, they can be easily suppressed .

  However, they not only have the task of patrolling oil pipelines, but also the task of fighting wars.

"In addition to this, you can also go to Lao Ba." Qin Tao said: "Lao Ba is facing the threat of war, and the army is all elites, but their military expenses are not much, so the army has been suffering haha, you can go from Lao Ba The most elite people employing 10,000 to 20,000 people there are stationed in your border areas to prevent accidents at any time."

  The black uncle mercenaries recruited from the surrounding countries are quite poor in combat effectiveness. These mercenaries can only be responsible for security patrols, and they are not allowed to fight.

  Old Ba’s army is different, it is definitely a real elite, and has the same belief as Gou Dahu, belonging to brothers.

  It is much better to ask brothers to send troops to help guard the border than to let Americans who are hated by their people guard it.

  Salman nods.

  Boss Qin is really good enough, and he easily provided them with valuable suggestions, which can completely solve their problems.

   "This incident was all caused by the start of construction of the aircraft carrier." Qin Tao said: "The Americans are really generous this time. In order to prevent our cooperation, they are willing to sell the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier to you."

   "Even if it is sold to us, we can't take it. We are not interested in that kind of aircraft carrier, and there will be many conditions attached. Even if we have it, we have absolutely no chance to drive it into the Mediterranean Sea." Salman said.

  Qin Tao nodded, appreciating the attitude of the other party, knowing that the Yankees are unreliable, so he firmly joined Dongfang.

   "However, the reasons for your refusal are somewhat random. You said that the displacement of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier is too large, so next time, the Americans may send their amphibious assault ships over." Qin Tao continued to fill in the gaps for them.

American aircraft carriers are all big guys. The latest model is close to 100,000 tons, but their amphibious assault ships just meet the needs of big dogs. For example, the Tarawa class and Wasp class have a displacement of about 40,000 tons. , At that time, what reason will they use to reject the good intentions of the Americans?

   Repeatedly refused, the Americans got angry, and the consequences were very serious.

  Salman's face became serious, yes, what Mr. Qin said is indeed a problem, and he didn't think about it.

   "Boss Qin, how should we refuse?"

   "You just say you don't have the money." Qin Tao gave a very straightforward reason: "If the Americans donate it for free, and don't pay for the modification, you want it. If the Americans talk too much, then you don't have the money to buy it."

  Anyway, the big dog is really out of money, and you have to pay on credit to buy a big killer, and pay it back with oil. It is absolutely impossible for the Americans to ask for money from the big dog.

  For local tyrants, it is a loss of face to take the initiative to say that they have no money, but just because of the loss of face, it just shows that they really have no money.

   "What if they give away for nothing?"

  How is it possible, are Americans so kind? Qin Tao smiled: "If they donate it for free, of course you can take it, and then send it to Mingzhou for refitting. The refitting fee is exactly equivalent to offsetting the advance payment for the aircraft carrier that just started construction. We don't want to break the contract. gold."

   "Thank you, Mr. Qin." Salman was very grateful, did you see that? This is a friend, a real friend!

   "By the way, the superior has agreed to the missile with a range of 300 kilometers, and we will place an order soon." Salman said.

  I was too busy this time, so I didn't bring the contract, so I had to wait for the next time.

   When Salman went back, he met Robert again. This time, he came with Austin.

"Last time you disliked the displacement of our Kitty Hawk. This time, we decided to sell you the first ship of the Tarawa-class warship. The displacement just meets your requirements." Austin said: "We still attach great importance to it." Regarding your relationship, we hope that you will leave the wrong path and return to the right track."

   Austin looked smug, as if he had already decided on the other party.

   "Although this warship is an amphibious assault ship, its function is similar to that of an aircraft carrier. It has a full flight deck, an island on the starboard side, and two elevators, which can meet your needs."

The Tarawa-class amphibious assault ship is representative. Its upper class, the Iwo Jima class, has no general-purpose landing craft, which limits its amphibious landing capabilities. Therefore, the U.S. Marine Corps started construction of the Tarawa-class in the 1970s. The flight deck, the island on the right side, the elevator, the hangar, etc. are all available, and there is a huge dock under the hangar, which can accommodate four general-purpose landing craft.

   Slap and give a sweet date, they thought they could tame the camel.

  Fahd did not speak from above, but a voice came from behind.

   "If you are willing to give it to us and there is no modification fee, we can accept it."

  The two turned their heads and saw the figure of Salman. This man looked dusty, where did he go?

   "Giving it for free, how is that possible?" Austin said.

   "Forget it, our treasury is empty now, and we don't have extra funds to purchase."

   "You can give up the Eastern project."

   "Then we need to pay a high amount of liquidated damages. You ask us to give up our cooperation with Dongfang. Will you pay the money?"

"How many?"

   "Not much, just over ten billion dollars."

  Robert's face was cold: "It seems that you have already made up your mind? Then our army should evacuate to the Imperial Cemetery, where they are needed."

   "That's right, their luggage has already been packed."

   "Okay, since this is the case, what are you waiting for, you should hurry to the Imperial Graveyard and try to win this war."

The words that came out of Salman's mouth shocked them all. Robert and Austin's faces turned red and white, and then they left angrily: "Okay, if this is the case, then we will leave , if there is any crisis in your country, don't come to us!"

  Watching the two leave angrily, Fahd looked at Salman with some hesitation: "Salman, is this an idea from the East?"

   "When I came back, I passed the old bus. I talked to them. They are willing to send a brigade first to help us guard the country."

   "Really? This is really good news! At critical times, our brothers are still reliable!"
