Chapter 536: Warships Entering the Port
The ceremony of the warship's entry into the port was carried out on Crescent Island.
Representatives of the Russian side attending the ceremony were the admiral of the Russian Pacific Fleet, who accompanied the ship, and the Russian ambassador to New Zealand. On the Xinguo side, Jiang Chen, chairman of Transwarp Trading, and the vice president of Xinguo attended the warship entry ceremony.
In a friendly atmosphere, Jiang Chen boarded the ship to shake hands with the Russian admiral, signed a handover agreement with the Russian representative, and then inspected the naval soldiers who had completed their training in Moscow.
The two Guardian-class frigates lined up in a line and fired a salvo of naval guns at the target ship in the uninhabited waters, demonstrating the excellent firepower of Russian-made weapons to the Star Ring Trade side. Looking at the water curtain rising into the sky and the target ship torn to pieces, the Russian general smiled kindly at Jiang Chen, and did not hide the smugness between his eyebrows.
For domestically produced weapons, this rough-looking hairy man is instinctively proud.
Jiang Chen didn't show too much surprise, just smiled politely and applauded with the crowd in attendance.
This firepower is indeed good, but it is still weaker than the weapons on the other side of the world.
After the transformation of the engineering robot, Jiang Chen is confident that he can more than double the firepower of this thing. The Type 50 J Electromagnetic Cannon under development in Vault 27 is an enlarged version of the original Type 50 Electromagnetic Cannon. It can fire a maximum of 50 kg mass projectiles, and the ultimate range can reach 250 kilometers, far exceeding conventional naval guns. With the cooperation of AWACS aircraft or satellites, the frigate equipped with this electromagnetic cannon can extend the combat radius from 70 km to 100 km, far exceeding the combat radius of conventional warships.
Compared with the electromagnetic cannon that the United States has installed on the joint high-speed ship "Milinoket", the Type 50 J-type electromagnetic gun is obviously much more petite. However, being slim doesn't mean it's less lethal. It is believed that in the near future, it will become a surgical scalpel rampaging across the Pacific Ocean with its ferocious firepower!
Although the overheating of the magnetic track has not been solved at the moment. However, it is believed that with the progress of research and development, it will not be long before this technical problem can be solved.
Two Project 636 Kilo-class submarines fired torpedoes at floating targets under the sea, demonstrating their firepower to shore personnel through combat video. After that, the two submarines surfaced and flew colored flags. The entire crew of the ship boarded the deck and saluted Jiang Chen and other representatives.
While raising his hand, Jiang Chen smiled and whispered with the pot-bellied Russian ambassador beside him.
"Impressive firepower. ”
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Valery Legasov grinned. In a proficient Chinese whisper, "Our munitions have always been reliable, if Mr. Jiang is interested in adding security to your back garden." Be sure to contact us. ”
The pot-bellied Mr. Legasov has an inexplicable affinity, which may have something to do with his funny burgundy nose and his beerbelly that holds his suit tight.
Regarding the Russian ambassador's use of the word "back garden", Jiang Chen just smiled. No denials were made. For the intelligence officers of the Big Five. It's no secret at all. Considering his cooperative relationship with the Russian side, his acquiescence also helps to increase the level of importance that the other side attaches to him.
Sure enough, seeing that Jiang Chen did not correct his words, the smile on Valery's face became even stronger.
"In South Asia, where there are only a few fishing boats, the Kilo-class submarine can already get you sideways. The only threat you have now is planes from the sky, don't you think about buying a couple of anti-aircraft rockets? Believe me, our S-400 air defense system will definitely satisfy you. ”
"I will seriously consider your opinions. However, for the time being, we have no further plans to expand our military at this time. Jiang Chen pushed the reason to maintain the stability of the regional situation. Valery's offer was politely declined.
Of course, Jiang Chen will not say the real reason for his refusal -- even the newly developed S-500 air defense system developed by Russia may not be able to enter his eyes. With this kind of sophisticated air defense weapon that is not too large, he can get it from the end of the world.
Valery, however, accepted his reasoning. He shrugged his shoulders and said nothing about it.
The handover ceremony soon came to an end.
According to the process, the Russian delegation withdrew, and the Russian general and Valery shook hands with the vice president of the new country and Jiang Chen respectively.
"In my opinion, you are more clever than the vast majority of dictators in the world. Standing at the military port of Crescent Island, before boarding the passenger ship back to Koro Island, Valery said to Jiang Chen.
"Oh, why do you say that?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Valery casually glanced at the vice president, who was talking with the Russian admiral not far away, and said, "Most dictators are anxious to show off their hegemony to their people, busy letting the whole world know how dangerous they are." You're different, you're smart. The new country has the most democratic system in the world, whether it is universal suffrage or freedom of speech, but both the economy and national defense are in your hands. A new country will never be able to introduce an anti-monopoly law, so your actions will always be legal. ”
"Thank you for the compliment. But can I ask? Is this the assessment of the Russian side or Mr. Legasov's personal opinion? ”
Hearing this, Valery smiled haughtily.
"Please don't think about it, that's certainly my personal opinion. But can Mr. Jiang Chen answer me a question? ”
"Absolutely. Jiang Chen smiled.
"You're already so rich that you've even bought a country. As far as I've seen over the years, authoritarian regimes and monopolistic giants are usually 'lazy' because they have no competitors, and maintaining the status quo is the most perfect state. But you seem to have the opposite, even now, the Future People Group is still constantly exploring the market, and Transwarp Trade is constantly updating weapons. I'm personally curious...... What exactly is your ideal?" Valery asked.
"Mr. Legasov, your question is strange. Microsoft is also very rich, and in a sense has formed a monopoly on 'standards', but they have never stopped opening up the market. Future People Group is an enterprise, and of course we have to continue to make progress to maintain competitiveness. In addition, I need to correct you that it is not the dictator who is lazy, but the short-sighted dictator. ”
"So far-sighted dictator, you still haven't answered me, what is your ideal?" Valery teased.
"Ideal?" Jiang Chen smiled.
"It's just a personal issue, and if it's inconvenient, forget about it. Seeing that Jiang Chen didn't speak, Valery said politely.
"There's nothing inconvenient, it used to be just to get richer, but now, ......" Jiang Chen waved his hand, paused, and continued, "I want to see farther away." ”
Indeed, as Mr. Ligasov said, Jiang Chen has earned a wealth that he could not have imagined a year and a half ago.
Even if in the next ten years, the Future People Group has not come up with any novel technology, and the virtual reality business alone is enough to make it stand at a height that other companies cannot look at. Even if the speed of scientific research in a multipolar world is faster than that in a tripolar world, it is unlikely that anyone in the world will be able to develop immersive virtual reality technology in ten years.
If it weren't for the Ark called Evolution sent by the Harmony faction, it was on its way to Earth......
After sending Valery and other Russian representatives away, Jiang Chen immediately found Ivan and ordered the two frigates and two submarines to be transferred to the military port on Coconut Fruit Island through him. There, engineering robots will complete the "modernization" of the warship's armament. (To be continued.) )
