Chapter 0821 - Buying a Ship Out of Your Own Pocket
readx;
The rapid development of the Nanyang Special Economic Zone is beyond the imagination of the Chinese people, and the Dragon Festival is even more unexpected. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info an artificial island has developed so well, and that wisdom can only be attributed to the location of the ground, and the Maliujian Strait is the busiest sea area in the world. Nanyang Island is also a must-pass place, and it is reasonable that the Nanyang Special Economic Zone is developing rapidly.
But Long Xiao felt that something was missing, and then thought about it carefully, the military strength was not enough, if you want to defend such a super special zone, only a dozen warships can't protect it, and you must have a strong navy to make those small crumbs dare not covet Nanyang Island.
What to do? The country's technology is backward, and the current speed of shipbuilding has been very fast, but it still can't keep up with the development, China's coastline is too long, and hundreds of warships are scattered, which is actually a very small amount, unless the country has thousands of warships.
However, this was impossible at that time, and there was only one way to buy ships from other countries, and Long Xiao consulted the high-level of Huaxia, and the high-level officials were also anxious about the funds of the army.
As soon as Long Xiao heard that he was in the right position, he proposed his own method of letting the people donate money to develop the navy, and the high-level agreed, and Long Xiao began to act.
The first stop of Longxiao's contact was Russia, and Russia's military ships are advanced enough in the world, which even the United States has to admit, because Russia has a vast sea area and has innate favorable conditions for developing its navy.
Although Russia's sea area is within the Arctic Circle, this is just right for the development of the Russian Navy, and without the interference of other countries, the Russian Navy can sail unscrupulously.
Russia's economic strength in recent years has not been as good as before, and its military strength has lagged behind, and the army is above the economy. However, Russia's technology, after the precipitation of recent decades, cannot be underestimated, especially in the construction of warships, although the quantity is less, but in terms of quality is an upward trend.
Long Xiao came to Russia, and the first stop was the arsenal of warships. When Long Xiao entered and saw it, he knew it in his heart, because the arsenal was desolate, and it seemed that it had not started for a long time.
Long Xiao bluntly said that the Russian side put forward a request for the purchase of 100 warships, half of which are nuclear-powered, the tonnage must be more than 10,000 tons, and it must have the ability to strike oceans.
The warship must carry sea-to-surface missiles, which must be of medium range or more, that is, with more than two thousand kilometers and even more.
The Russian side, in addition to surprises, felt the difficulties. The surprise is that with such a large order, the Russian army has an economic power, each ship is 600 million US dollars, 100 ships is 60 billion, and Russia will not have to worry about running out of money to spend within ten years.
It is difficult to find such a large order that cannot be completed in a short period of time. Russia asked Long Xiao what the time and construction period were, and Long Xiao told the Russian side that as long as the first batch was delivered within a year and a half, the rest would be easy to say.
When the Russian side heard this, it was relieved, and it was too fast to say that according to Russia's technological strength, as long as it has money, it can build 50 warships within a year, and it is still nuclear-powered.
However, Russia put forward a condition, whether to pay half of the deposit in advance, and Long Xiao did not entangle with Russia too much, so he first crossed a deposit of $30 billion to Russia.
Sun is not an enemy, and the enemy is the master of the school
Sun Qiu is not an enemy of the enemy, and the main question is how much money is in the morning, and the Russians have set a sky-high price, each nuclear submarine carries two nuclear bombs, and the total price is 100 billion US dollars, which is actually Russia's test price, if the dragon night is too expensive, Russia will automatically reduce the price.
The Russians are in ecstasy, and this is Russia's largest arms business since the collapse of the former Soviet Union. As a result, Russia took the opportunity to sell the latest nuclear-powered submarines to Longxiao.
This kind of nuclear submarine in Russia cannot but be introduced, this is currently the least noisy nuclear submarine in the world,
Its long-range ability to circle the earth is not the key, the key is the depth of diving, which can reach a thousand meters below, so to speak, without a trace.
What's even more powerful is that each of his submarines carries two long-range strategic missiles with a range of 16,000 kilometers, and the warhead is an SS-20 nuclear bomb, with a total explosion radius of 700 kilometers.
Just ask, how many countries in the world can have a diameter of 3,000 kilometers? Even if it is a country of rice, as long as there are only two nuclear bombs, the whole country can be reduced to nothing. This is not Russia's most awesome nuclear bomb, there are even more powerful ones, however, because the volume is too large and difficult to transport, it is generally not used.
Of course, it is also secret that Russia sold to Longxiao, because Russia wants to make money from Longxiao, but it can't let the people of the United States know, which is called making a lot of money in a muffled voice.
Sun Dike hated the ghost and then learned to be in cold love
In fact, this is a trick played by the Russians, Longxiao was purchased in an individual capacity, but Longxiao is owned by the Huaxia military, and it will naturally be used by Huaxia after purchase, from the other side, it is equivalent to clamping down on the hegemony of the United States, which is also what the Russian side is willing to see.
Long Xiao asked how much it was, and the Russians offered a sky-high price, each nuclear submarine carries two nuclear bombs, and the total price is 100 billion US dollars, which is actually Russia's test price, if Long Xiao is too expensive, Russia will automatically reduce the price.
How do Russians know that Longxiao is now wealthy, not to mention 100 billion, that is, 200 billion US dollars, Longxiao can also be bought, Longxiao agreed to Russia's offer without saying a word, but also put forward conditions, but it must be spot.
The Russians are in the middle of it, and there are exactly six such nuclear submarines in Russia at present, but the annual maintenance cost is several million dollars, and Russia is already overwhelmed, if you don't buy it, you have to find a way to dispose of it, because this is all Cold War technology.
Long Xiao allocated $200 billion to Russia and ordered two more nuclear missile submarines, which made the Russians embarrassed and had to give four more conventionally powered submarines as compensation.
Long Xiao was also very happy to see Lao Maozi's work, so he signed the delivery date and returned to Nanyang Island. Six submarines also arrived at Nanyang Island three days later, and became the town's weapons for Nanyang Island.
Then, Long Xiao conveyed his meaning to the people of Mi and wanted to buy warships, but the Mi people were afraid that Huaxia's military power would surpass that of Mi and they did not plan to sell it at all, so Long Xiao canceled the idea of doing business with Mi and turned to France.
France's warships do not belong to the United States in terms of technology, and you are not allies with the United States, often the French who are willing to the United States are unwilling, and the French who are unwilling to the United States are willing, generally speaking, the French are not compatible with the United States.

The French saw that the Chinese rejected the purchase plan of the Dragon Festival, so they ceremoniously introduced the Dragon Festival to their own country. Long Xiao said what he meant straightforwardly: First, to buy warships, the tonnage should be large, but to buy submarines, and the technology should be advanced.
Of course, Russia's sale to Longxiao is also a secret, because Russia wants to make money from Longxiao, but it can't let the people of the United States know, which is called making a lot of money in a muffled voice.
France's aircraft carrier technology is not good, but the technology of nuclear submarines is still world-class, seeing that Longxiao proposed to buy, first of all, the price issue, the French saw that Longxiao was determined to buy, so they put forward a high price.
$2 billion per ship, or pay upfront. Although Long Xiao thought it was expensive, he still agreed to the French offer, and the French were embarrassed, so they had to ask how much Long Xiao needed.
Long Xiao employment said a large number: twenty, ten warships, ten ships. The French smiled bitterly, there are only eight submarines in their country, and it is not enough to sell them all to Longxiao.
Long Xiao said a deadline, which was one and a half years of delivery, and then the French were happy and hurriedly signed a contract with Long Xiao.
When the news reached the United States, the arms dealers of the United States were anxious, and this was a large order of 40 billion US dollars, so the arms dealers of the United States put pressure on the Congress and kept demanding that the arms embargo on China be lifted.
