Zhang Xingming said: "Yes, I know there, Storm Point, but is there still a boat over there now? Look at the data, there are strong winds and waves all year round, killing waves, right?"

"You're right, it's the most dangerous place of all the routes, and it's where countless fleets have died, and basically no fleet will choose there after the opening of the Suez Canal, but you have to look at both sides," Hoinovich said.

What we need now is a stable, safe, resource-rich place to build our bases and shipyards, which are still very suitable, and Africa's poverty does not mean that it has no products, but man-made disasters, and we all know this.

South Africa is not without ships now, the giant ship of more than 200,000 tons Suez cannot pass, or from the corner of the storm, the ship is large to a certain extent, the threat of wind and waves is not so big, and it is not a big deal to say that modern technology to avoid wind and waves.

We can set up a joint venture shipyard over there, and then we can choose to build a final assembly plant a little closer to the Storm Corner, you know what I mean? The South African side will welcome it, this investment is not small, and the economic volume that can be driven is quite large for that side. ”

Hoinovich made a gesture with his hands folded: "Our ultimate goal is to produce the most advanced warships and aircraft carriers, and we need nearly 10,000 supporting manufacturers, so we can only choose to produce the core parts, hulls, power, electronic systems, weapons, and others to spread out, outsource, joint venture, and slowly build branches."

But this has an advantage, that is, it will not be too eye-catching, until the product comes out, it will give the world a huge surprise, as long as the product comes out, we are safe, and it is not too late to vigorously build at that time. ”

What Hoinovich means Zhang Xingming understands that the construction period is the most dangerous, and if you want to build a factory that can produce advanced aircraft carriers, you will definitely be killed, and it is simply wishful thinking without the support of a strong state. But once it succeeds, it will be different, there are too many countries in the world that need aircraft carriers, and naturally they will become a protective force.

"OK, I understand, I'll listen to you in this regard. I have factories in many countries around the world, and I coordinate with them. Will definitely be arranged. Zhang Xingming said to Hoinovich sincerely, raised the bottle and touched him.

"I will arrange for someone to come and talk about the joint venture shipyard, and then build a base, and within two years, the necessary equipment and components will be produced through different factories, secretly transported to the base and mothballed, and when they are ready, they will be brought over for storage," Hoinovich said. Until then, as you said, let's use them as parks, which can be regarded as a kind of protection. ”

Zhang Xingming nodded and said: "I will leave all the preliminary affairs in Africa to you, my people and I are not suitable to show up, I will arrange for the relevant companies on both sides of John and Bald Eagle to cooperate with you." ”

Hoinovich said: "Understood, and thank you for your trust. I'm still a little well-known in the field of shipbuilding, so don't worry. ”

Zhang Xingming said: "We must also pay attention to safety, I will arrange two teams of security guards to come over tomorrow." ”

Hoinovich nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, the two of them discussed some details related to the issue, such as the source of investment, the registration of the factory, the procurement and transportation of materials and materials, etc.

The wine and meat were exhausted, the guests and hosts were happy, Zhang Xingming and his entourage said goodbye and left the wooden house.

When I came out of the hut, I didn't feel as cold as when I came, and the fireplace and brazier were burning in the house, and I drank a little bit of alcohol, all of which had the effect of warding off the cold, and the further north I went, the more people drank, and it was a strong drink, which was directly related to the cold.

However, drinking alcohol can only keep out the cold for a short period of time, and it is not suitable for use as the main means of cold protection, because the blood flow of drinking alcohol accelerates, the heat dissipation of the body will increase, and the damage to the body will be greater for a long time.

This area is all the confines of the shipyard, and it is empty at this time. The factories had come to a complete halt, all the work in progress had been halted because of the lack of funding, and the workers were marching around the city to fight for money from the government, which was so overwhelmed that it could not do anything at all.

It was the end of the '90s, and the economy had completely collapsed and entered the darkest countdown period.

Factories have entered a period of mass shutdown, and factories that could still maintain low production can no longer hold on, social welfare has collapsed, workers have lost their income, and materials are in short supply to the extreme. A large number of Lada taxis on the streets of Moske are parked on the side of the street, and few people hail them.

People on the streets lost their smiles, bartering began in many places, and women even took out their underwear and sold it for a few loaves of bread. Food and daily necessities have become the last straw that overwhelms this country.

Every day, there is a queue of hundreds of meters outside every bakery, and people quietly wait for God's judgment. Bread was now sold in limited quantities, and a loaf of bread was cut into several pieces, but even then it was difficult to guarantee that everyone could buy it.

The salesman indifferently collected the money, turned a blind eye to the tearful pleading of the buyer, and the woman who had waited for a long time without buying bread cried bitterly, and left helplessly down the street full of garbage.

The former hustle and bustle of the factory area is quiet, and the children have lost their vitality, leaning against the windows in a daze. Where there is sunlight, there are rows of elderly people sitting with numb expressions.

The store is still open, but there are few goods, and the salesperson who has nothing to do lies on the window and looks at the street scene in a daze, and the waste materials that can be sold for money have become sought-after goods, and there may be a big fight for the ownership of an empty wine bottle. There were a lot of bottles of wine in the streets, and a large number of people began to pay for wine, because they were young people.

Many cities have set up food distribution points to provide a little food to families who do not have an income. There are also queues here, and the queues are longer, and there are simply not enough points to meet all the needs. The most seen sight in every city is the queues, the queues at all kinds of places where you can get a little bit of food.

The army has not been able to pay allowances, but food is still available, which has maintained a certain degree of stability. Police patrol deserted streets, always on the alert and ready to deal with emergencies. There are more and more robberies.

Zhang Xingming and his entourage slowly paced on the street, the city was silent, but there was not much snow on the road, and snow removal had become the habit and instinct of everyone living in the city.
