Chapter 060, You Cow
() If Badr and the others knew that Canglong had gone to the Dubai Royal Palace to drink coffee at a tense juncture in the war in the central region, they would probably have fainted
In fact, Canglong came to Dubai to fulfill the agreement of Prince Hamulet, although this agreement was two months late and could not participate in the prince's succession ceremony, Canglong still came, and Hamullet, who officially became the king of the Emirate of Dubai, did not care that Canglong came late
His participation in the succession ceremony was not very important to Hamulat, but the movement of Canglong in Iraq during these five months really surprised the prince and the king, and it was clear that the intelligence network in Dubai did not bring any useful information to King Hamulat
It wasn't until a few months ago that Canglong asked Hamulet, who had already taken office, to assist Hamulet that he knew that Canglong, a scourge, had gone to Iraq and was harming the Iraqi people
This visit was carried out in secret, and even Su Su didn't know that Canglong had come to Dubai, and the only person Canglong brought with him was Tang Long, a student
Compared with the youth of five months ago, Tang Long's experience in the Prophet Army made him now full of masculine masculinity, at least in the eyes of ordinary people
"Shall I call you a prophet, my dear friend," Hamulet sarcastically said, though the two were now grasshoppers on a rope, and it was not easy for the king to learn that the dragon was bewitching the people in Basra and giving himself the name of a prophet
In Islam, in addition to Allah, the prophet is followed by the pope caliph Maryam, under the struggle of the succession parties, after inheriting the caliphate, in fact, the status is not high, as King Hamulet expected, her sister is actually a puppet of the Islamic world
As for the task of unifying Sunnis and Shiites, Maryam is the way to do it, and her existence seems to only make the position of those who support the election of the caliphate more orthodox, except for the special bloodline, Maryam, the caliph, is simply useless
"If you want, you can give me a salute" Canglong smiled with a whimsical smile, "Allah's blessing is on you"
Hamulet was a little speechless, as a king, he could not see the dragon blaspheming their faith, but in the current situation in Iraq, he could not refute the dragon, at least he was a good prophet of impostors
"Tell me, what are you doing here, if you want military assistance, I, the king of the emirate, can't help me," Hamulet paused, "I'm short of money right now, you don't want to take money from me."
"You really thought wrong this time, I don't want money, and I don't want your assistance," Canglong understands Hamulet's difficulties, when he was a prince in the past, it didn't matter what he did, but now as the king of Dubai, his status is different, besides, Dubai is just an emirate in the entire UAE, and it is impossible to really ask for UAE military assistance, after all, the king is not the president
Moreover, the UAE is also a neutral country, and cannot participate in any war except for the coastal defense of its own country
Although Canglong said it well, Hamullet was very jǐngti: "When will you be polite to me?"
"I want to be alone," Canglong said his purpose, and looked at Maryam, who was masked and bowed beside Hamulet
Hamulet's face changed: "Don't think that Maryam can't go to Iraq with you, and don't want to use her caliph status to help you."
"Can you listen to me first," Canglong said calmly, "I asked Maryam to go to Iraq, mainly as an ambassador for peace, and I don't want to fight now"
But Hamulet didn't listen at all: "Are you a three-year-old child, if you take Mariam away, you will be pulling us all onto your thief ship, at least we will always remain neutral when you do not have absolute strength against the Americans"
Hamulet saw at a glance what the hell Canglong was doing, although Mariam was a puppet, but at least he was also a caliph, and he was elected by several neutral countries in the Middle East, if Mariam went to Iraq and stood on Canglong's side, it would be equivalent to pulling all the neutral countries in the Middle East in, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates
Not to mention that Hamulet does not agree, even if he agrees with the religious forces of several other neutral countries, he will never agree, in these neutral countries, the religious forces are very large, which is more ruthless than asking him for money and aid, but Doha Mullet will certainly not agree, what he needs to consider is the interests of the entire emirate and even the United Arab Emirates
"After standing in the same line with me, do you think you still have a way out," Canglong asked coldly
Hamulet's face changed and he gritted his teeth: "Your fists are not hard enough, and the Americans have not been driven out of Iraq by you."
"Sooner or later," Canglong didn't care, staring at Mariam like a weirdo, "Mary, do you want to go to Basra with me?"
Maryam looked at her brother with a pair of beautiful eyes, and nodded without waiting for Hamulet to speak, Hamulet looked indignant, obviously the sister was not on his side, which made him very uncomfortable, but he still said resolutely: "Unless you drive the Americans out of Iraq one day"
"I said it was only a matter of time, but what if I did drive the Americans out of Iraq," Canglong asked
Hamullet was silent for a while and said: "If that time comes, I will consult with the president and negotiate with a few neutral countries, at least politically, we will support you, but until then."
"I see," Canglong nodded, "I will end the war in the entire Middle East, but you need to do me a favor when it is over"
"What's the deal," Hamulet asked cautiously, silent for a moment
"Help me deal with the Assassin Alliance and the organization behind it," Canglong said coldly
"League of Assassins" Hamulet's face changed, Canglong was born in this mysterious organization, and Hamulet did know that there was a strong and powerful support behind the League of Assassins, "I will consider it"
"It's not a consideration, it's a certainty," Canglong said resolutely
Hamullet was silent, he drank a cup of coffee, Mariam poured him another cup of coffee, and drank four cups of coffee in a row before Hamullet calmed down: "How sure are you against this organization?"
"If you are pulling China, you will be fifty percent sure," Canglong said
"Fifty percent sure" Hamulet didn't think this was very low, but he felt that it was very high, no one knew how big the organization behind the League of Assassins was, and if they wanted to, they could even control many countries, including the United States
"And I now have the clues of one or two elders of the organization, although I can't be sure yet, if I can follow the vine," Canglong didn't continue
"I'm willing to take a gamble if you can do what you say," Hamullet asked, "and I'll tell the president exactly what you and I said, he's the only one who can help us."
"Oh," Canglong nodded, he knew that the richest emirate in the UAE was not Dubai, but the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, where the current president was located, and in terms of relations, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Emirate of Dubai were also the two closest emirates in the UAE, so Hamulet was so confident
"Is the project going smoothly in Ukraine?" Canglong suddenly asked
"The aircraft carrier that Russia ordered is under construction, and now the Black Sea shipyard is on the right track, in addition to this aircraft carrier, the Russians have ordered several missile destroyers, and in terms of technology, they provide half of us, we provide half, but now the Russian Navy wants us to provide all the technology," Hamulet said
"What about the aircraft project?" asked Canglong
Hamulet frowned: "Now the only plane that Ukraine can take is a large transport plane, which is also the most valuable enterprise in the Ukrainian defense industry, I have discussed it with the President and Prime Minister of Ukraine, but the negotiations are still ongoing, although we are only a shareholder, but"
Canglong was a little disappointed that he didn't need a large transport plane, he needed a fighter now, and a fighter Ukraine didn't: "Is the shipyard capable of producing nuclear-powered submarines"
"Nuclear submarine" Hamulet looked surprised: "You want to secretly deploy nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf"
"You see, Iraq's access to the sea is so big, and there are only two ports in Basra, and I'm going to convert one of them into a military port," Canglong explained, "but I don't need a water ship, I just need an underwater hull, preferably a nuclear submarine."
Hamullet looked embarrassed, not to mention whether the Black Sea shipyard could be built, but once the world discovered that there were unidentified submarines in the Persian Gulf, the world would definitely shake
"Technology is not a problem, you can build nuclear submarines if you provide technical information, but there are very few submarine technicians at the Black Sea shipyard, and it is difficult to build," Hamullet said honestly, "it depends on what class of submarine you want to build."
"The Seawolf class, the most advanced in the United States, has built at least five Seawolf classes," Canglong said
"You can build five of them at once when the Black Sea shipyard is a vegetable market," Hamulet was speechless, "Even if you have a full set of technical information, five Seawolf-class submarines will not be able to be built in ten years."
"Hehe, I was kidding just now, let's get the whole ship out first," Canglong smiled
"It will take at least a year, and you will have to pay for it yourself," Hamullet reminded, he knows very well that the Seawolf-class submarine is definitely the most advanced submarine in the world, and the cost is very expensive, and even the United States itself has only built three before stopping production, and it used to cost about $1.2 billion to build a Seawolf-class nuclear submarine
But this is the old age, and now the price inflation requires at least three billion dollars to build one, so even the Americans are not so extravagant, and it will cost 15 billion dollars to build five ships, even Hamullet does not spend so much money
"It's no problem, I can pay it in advance, although I'm also very poor now, and after half a year, all the oil in Basra will be extracted, and there will be some money," Canglong is like a rich man
"If you're so rich, why don't you just build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier," Hamulette said sarcastically
"I've thought about it too, but the current cost of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is at least about 10 billion US dollars, and I don't have a carrier-based aircraft, let alone naval aviation, and it will take at least five or six years to form combat effectiveness, with the current situation in Iraq, if I can wait five or six years, can I still need to ask you for help" Canglong shrugged his shoulders, "Even if I can get carrier-based aircraft and train naval aviation, I can quickly put them into battle, but what can a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier do in the Middle East, except as a target, I don't think it will be of much use"
Hearing Canglong's bold words, Hamullet gave a thumbs up: "You cow"
He really didn't expect that Canglong would actually think about building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and in the Middle East, as long as he is not a fool, he will not waste money on aircraft carriers, especially in countries like Iraq, which have less than 100 kilometers of coastline
