The crown prince was a little confused, and he opened his mouth for a long time before asking, "Is it okay to have a warship?"

"Of course!" Meng Jianye nodded without thinking, and then flickered into full mode: "Do you think that the king and the centralizer who dominates the party in the world today use warships as yachts?"

The crown prince thought about it carefully, not to mention, there really isn't, so he shook his head.

"What did I say before? No one has me, so I can show my compelling style, you think about it, but you take a warship with exquisite craftsmanship, wandering between the sea and the sky, that momentum, that force, it's just ......."

The crown prince couldn't help but imagine the scene described by Meng Jianye in his head, it was indeed full of force, quite domineering, and nodded hurriedly: "When you say this, my 65-foot yacht is still like, no, I will replace it with a warship." ”

After speaking, he raised his head, looked at Meng Jianye with a straight face, and said very seriously: "Mr. Meng, you can help me think about it, it's good to use that warship." ”

"Needless to say, it is naturally a German MEKO-class frigate, with a displacement of about 2,500 tons, a length of more than 100 meters, and high-quality German quality. ”

"Okay! It's a German MEKO-class frigate!"

When the crown prince heard this, he immediately slapped the table, and it was decided, Meng Jianye was relieved on the surface, but in his heart he was slightly shocked by the crown prince's curiosity, and the main frigate of two or three thousand tons was decided to do so...... The attitude of the crown prince...... It's really wise.

……

Nachai has been a little crazy recently, as the person in charge of the Thai Navy's frigate program, Nachai, who is already a lieutenant general, has already practiced the kung fu of nourishing qi without being surprised.

However, since he accepted the project of introducing frigates, his more than 10 years of continuous changes can be regarded as a complete failure, first the army and the royal family have vigorously reduced the navy's military spending, so that the navy's plan has been vigorously revised, and it is not easy to negotiate with various interest groups in the country.

Where did the French begin to press forward step by step, especially after China revoked the frigate tender, it intensified, and it was unbearable to see it, and what made the suspicion was to go straight to their own hair.

Seeing that a new round of negotiations with Luyere will be held in another hour, I guess I want to just pick and leave, but there is no way, the domestic budget, coupled with the actions of the French outside, is now the only supplier such as the French Shipbuilding Bureau who is willing to cooperate with the Thai Navy.

The Thai Navy wanted to attract more people into the game to balance the aggressive French, but as a result, most of the budget was cut, which is equivalent to cutting the road of those advanced frigates in Europe and the United States, because none of those warships are not gold swallowers, and with today's pitiful budget, they can't even buy half a ship.

China can afford it, and it has also been pulled in to balance the French before, but now they have not withdrawn the bid, so the Thai Navy is really embarrassed now, no matter how it is chosen, it can only negotiate with France, and the French, who make the business an exclusive deal, have finally shown their bloodthirsty fangs.

But regardless of the budget of the Thai Navy, it is to gnaw a piece of meat on the Thais.

That guessed that he was not the opponent of the French, so at this moment he was not thinking about how to deal with the aggressiveness of the French, but how to accept the harsh conditions of the people decently, in any case, the replacement of warships is an imminent major event for the Thai Navy, otherwise the long Thai coastline will really become an undefended vacuum.

Just, what should I say......

Nachai grabbed his hair again with both hands, and began to try to think of a way, at this moment, the phone on the desk suddenly rang, and Nachai's face suddenly darkened, he had previously explained to his adjutant that he would not accept all foreign guests and phone calls before the negotiation, but at this time the phone rang, which made him very angry, thinking that when today's business was over, he would have to withdraw the disobedient adjutant.

However, it is a matter of the future to find trouble with the adjutant in the back, and it is not a matter for the phone in front of him to ring non-stop, not to mention that he has been interrupted his train of thought, and he also wants to see who has such a big face and let his adjutant disobey his orders, so he picked up the phone and asked unceremoniously: "Who are you?" Do you know ......?"

"I'm Tingsulaun!"

Hearing this name, the unfinished words immediately choked in his throat, and he didn't dare to say it again, and he was still glad that he was not arrogant, otherwise he would have died and didn't know how to die.

There's no way, it's really the person on the other end of the phone.

Tin Su Ranong, the chairman of the Thai Privy Council, the most relied on confidant of the King of Thailand, his protégés are all over the Thai ** political circles, and he is the kind of real boss who can make Thailand tremble by stomping his feet.

With that guessing ability, he had the courage to compete with the commander-in-chief of the three armies, but in the face of Tingsu Lanuan, he didn't have the slightest intention of fighting, because the other party's words could make him die without a place to be buried.

So Nachai hurriedly put away his previous unhappiness, stood up straight as if he saw Tingsu Lanuan coming, and said respectfully: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you, if I knew......"

"That's it!"

Tinsula Nuan didn't want to listen to the long-winded speculation at all, and after an impatient interruption, he went straight to the point: "Give up the purchase of French frigates and switch to the purchase of German MEKO-class frigates, and the lack of funds will be allocated to the Navy in the name of a special budget, quickly."

The above is an order from His Majesty the King, and the other military dignitaries will be notified later, so let's go and carry it out!"

As soon as the voice fell, the phone was hung up neatly, but the guess here didn't hang up the phone for a long time, and he didn't want to hang up, but really forgot to hang up.

The news is too shocking and colorful, just like I wanted to buy a two-bedroom apartment with a mortgage, but when I was about to pay the money, I was notified that I inherited the luxury villa of my distant uncle, and I couldn't accept the reality with a little arrogance.

Yes, this is really magnanimous, the unit price of the German MEKO-class frigate alone is 30 million US dollars, not including the full set of weapons and equipment on the ship, if you really want to calculate it at least, it will cost 45 million US dollars a piece.

Two ships are 90 million US dollars, if you count the other forests, it is more than 100 million US dollars, more than 100 million US dollars, when did the Thai Navy be so arrogant?

What's more, aside from the budget, Germany's MEKO-class frigate is also a very desirable type of ship, as one of the troika of German ships, Germany's MEKO-class frigate is the same as the 209 type submarine, it is the world's best-selling star equipment, not only the basic performance is not to say, the armament is also very strong, and more importantly, the modular design is adopted, leaving enough space for future transformation and upgrading.

In that case, the German MEKO-class frigates were much stronger than the French half-hung frigates.
