Chapter 108: International Orders

Thick black smoke, wrapped in shrapnel and the wreckage of the ship, flew in the air. The picture is shocking, as if you have witnessed the end of the world......

It was almost three seconds before the explosion before the rumbling explosion reached the ears of Ma Wei and the others.

"Boom!"

With the sound that shook people's eardrums, Ma Wei and the others could clearly see that a sea shock wave with the battleship as the center was spreading on the surface of the sea at a speed visible to the naked eye! The picture looks beautiful, but it is extremely dangerous!

Almost all sea creatures in the shockwave range were stunned by the shockwave. In particular, some fish that were too close were shocked to the point that their internal organs were ruptured, and they immediately turned their bellies.

Supersonic cruise missiles, almost blowing up the front deck of the battleship, the entire area. The raging sea water is constantly pouring in from the breach. Soon, the front end of the entire battleship slowly sank because of the serious flooding.

After about five minutes, half of the body of the Soviet-class battleship was already immersed in the sea. Due to the sinking angle, the tail end of the battleship was 90 degrees perpendicular to the sea surface. The scene was the same as when the movie "Titanic" sank.

The only difference was the formation of a huge vortex around the battleship. This whirlpool swept the surrounding dead fish, dried shrimp, towards the bottom of the sea......

The Indian Navy, who was standing in the captain's room and watching the picture, was completely shocked by the supersonic cruise missiles of the Russian Navy!

The 55,000-ton sea giant sank to the bottom of the sea in an instant. That scene, to put it mildly, is the first time that the Indian Navy has seen it.

"How is it, Admiral Suni Barr, are you satisfied with this welcoming ceremony for our Russian Navy?" Mavi had seen such a scene for the first time. The picture just now, even in the documentary, is not fully recorded. The shock of what I saw with my own eyes is absolutely indescribable.

"I am personally very satisfied! Mr. Mavi, by the way, you just said that if you order six frigates at one time, you can apply for a 10 percent discount? And the delivery date of the first three ships is within the first year?" After appreciating the power of cruise missiles, Admiral Suni Barr has already made up his mind.

That is the 3,000-ton Talwa frigate, which the Indian Navy must buy! If these six warships are bought back to China, it will definitely greatly enhance the strength of the Indian Navy. And deter neighboring countries, so that others do not dare to attack their idea of the sea.

"Yes, Admiral Suni Barr. But there is one thing I want to tell you, let me explain it in advance...... "According to the memories of his past life, Mavi knew the needs of the Indian Navy. I also know that in the end, this is how they did make a deal with Russia.

So he put the Russian Navy in the hands of three 3,000-ton Petrel III border patrol ships with horizontal and full-fuel propulsion in the 80s, and converted them with 8 units that can vertically launch "Moss" supersonic anti-ship missiles. Then a 3S-90 single-arm launcher capable of launching the "Skili" medium-range ship-to-air missile was installed.

In this way, the Haiyan level was instantly upgraded to the Talwa level. In addition, the original four-year delivery period has been shortened to one year. As for the remaining three warships, they will be completed at an efficiency of one in four years according to the construction plan.

After listening to Mavi's explanation, Admiral Suni Barr accepted his proposal after thinking about it. After all, the Indian Navy cannot afford to wait for these 24 years. Even if it takes 4 years, they can't afford to wait...... Their fleet warships are still propelled by steam turbines...... Moreover, it is generally difficult to buy the most advanced military weapons, which is international common sense.

"Mr. Mavi, thank you very much for this reception! By the way, can your shipyard build aircraft carriers, or nuclear-powered submarines? I think in a few years, our Indian Navy may have this demand. Admiral Suni Barr asked Mavi seriously. Obviously, he also wants to cooperate with Russia in his future business in India.

"Don't worry, Admiral Suni Barr, there will be aircraft carriers, and there will be nuclear-powered submarines!" said Mavi without a positive answer.

His North Sea shipyard is not yet capable of building aircraft carriers. But there is nothing to be ashamed of, because almost the entire Russian shipyard now has no strength to build aircraft carriers.

The only one with strength has to be the "Black Sea Nikolaev Shipyard" that was assigned to Ukraine when the Soviet Union collapsed. The first domestic aircraft carrier, the "Liaolu Aircraft Carrier", came from this shipyard.

After receiving Admiral Suni Barr from India, Mawi was also ready to pack up and go home.

After three weeks of deliberation and discussion, the Indian Navy finally decided to purchase six 3,000-ton Talwa stealth frigates from the Russian Navy. The total amount paid was $972 million.

The Indian Navy can't come up with this money all at once. They took out a loan with the Russian government to buy these six warships. The principal and interest are then paid off within 10 years.

If you don't take out a loan, this has little to do with Ma Wei's Beihai Shipyard. Anyway, according to the contract, the two parties paid 50% as a deposit, which is $486 million. The rest is paid in the middle of construction and at the end of construction.

Six 3,000-ton Talwa stealth frigates, the cost of one is only 12.8 million. This international order was smashed down, directly making the shipyard net 900 million US dollars!

Of course, the $900 million in profits, Ma Wei is impossible to swallow alone. After all, the Russian Navy is also involved. The military also has its own shipyards, and some of the orders will definitely have to be diverted.

But even so, Ma Wei's North Sea Shipyard has made a lot of money! Counting the ship transformation orders of the little white hats, the Grisha-class frigate orders of the Northern Fleet. Ma Wei's shipyard is already too busy! Even if the number of workers has exceeded 8,500, it feels like there are not enough people.

In the mansion in the center of Russia, the butler Ivan knocked on Ma Wei's room and asked him, "Young master, the order volume of the Beihai shipyard is almost saturated. Do you think we should contact a few more shipyards and talk about acquisitions?"

"Yes, go and get in touch, there are other countries that are not limited to Russia, and neighboring countries can also send people to contact, such as Ukraine. ”

According to the memories of his previous life, Mavi knew that at this time in the year 2000, not only the Indian Navy needed to buy warships. Malaysia, the Chinese Navy, all have this need. Even they still have a demand, to buy an aircraft carrier, then the amount is even greater!

It's just that in the parallel world of this life, for some reason, Asian countries don't seem to have any movement.
