Chapter 714: The Cradle of the Navy (Part II)

"No, no, Mr. Liam, we haven't signed a final agreement yet, so it's not a breach of contract, it's just that I want to add a sī condition." Zhang Yang smiled and waved his hand and said.

Breach of contract, Lao Tzu is a breach of contract, what can you do? Anyway, now Lao Tzu is a seller's market, you are a buyer's market, I don't want to sell, what do you want? What's more, the enthusiasm of these things is not high at all, and there is not much difference between there and not.

"This ...... Well, what are the conditions Mr. Zhang, you say. Liam is also helpless, just like the other party said, the two sides have not signed a formal agreement, so these things are not a breach of contract, but I don't know what the other party wants, I hope it is not so difficult to meet.

Is it possible that you want to be beautiful NV? Liam doesn't think about money anymore, no one is professing that he has money, and the most people are money, and the beauty of NV is ...... It doesn't seem like it, at least Zhang Yang is a person, I have to say that it's very weird. Although Li Keqing is a super beautiful NV, there is no doubt that there are more NV people if it is a man, right? But it's weird to say, the richest man in the world in front of him is really a seed of infatuation, not to mention what kind of nv people are supporting, but there has never even been a scandal.

It's basically okay to stay at home, I really don't know how he did it, at least in all fairness, Liam can't do it himself. Therefore, Zhang Yang proposed that it was the sī people's request, and Liam also considered the sī people's side.

"If I want to marry a princess of the British royal family, I don't know if I can do it?" Zhang Yang also made a joke with Liam. Liam was a little speechless...... It's enough to be a princess with a flamboyant identity, the problem is that you're already married, okay.

"Don't laugh at all at this joke, Mr. Zhang, you are already married, and the laws of your country and my country are monogamous." Liam is a little helpless, do you want NV people not to say it openly?

"I can transfer to an Arab nationality." Zhang Yang winked at Liam, but seeing Liam's completely speechless gaze, Zhang Yang wisely changed the topic: "Okay." I'm joking, but my request is very simple, yes. Mr. Liam should know that I recently opened a university and want to buy some warships to play with, I heard that your country decommissioned an aircraft carrier the year before last, which is currently in a mothballed state and can still be used, I wonder if I can buy it for fun? ”

"Uh......" Everyone present choked, and a few people made a sound in their throats, and everyone looked at Zhang Yang as if they were looking at an out-and-out animal. Liam was also a little speechless. Well, what do most of the rich people play? A designer sports car? Sī people plane? A whole lot of beautiful NV? The world's most luxurious abode? Well, it's all there. But the one in front of him is clearly an alternative.

People bought it to play with aircraft carriers...... Well, regardless of the value of such aircraft carriers that have been in service for twenty or thirty years, at least I haven't heard of any rich people buying them back to play.

"This ...... Mr. Zhang. The Invincible aircraft carrier has been decommissioned and mothballed, but the Invincible aircraft carrier has irreplaceable historical value in the history of the United Kingdom, and China has not considered selling it for the time being. Liam hesitated, but decided to politely refuse.

The reason why Zhang Yang is interested in the Invincible aircraft carrier is because the Invincible aircraft carrier is not the same as the ordinary concept of an aircraft carrier. Its displacement is different from that of the United States, which is a heavy attack aircraft carrier of 100,000 tons, and the Invincible aircraft carrier is an aircraft carrier that focuses on anti-submarine and takes into account large air defense capabilities. When it was in service in the UK, the aircraft carrier Invincible was parked with more than a dozen anti-submarine helicopters. As well as the Harrier fighter with vertical take-off and landing.

What these domestic designers lack is these various aircraft carrier design drawings, which can be regarded as Zhang Yang buying them back for these students to teach and use.

"I think it's right to paraphrase a saying in the Western world, which is that nothing can't be bought. I can't buy it because I didn't pay enough, and for me. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, so, what about the Invincible, I really want to buy it back and play with it, Mr. Liam, make a price, right? The aircraft carrier that has been mothballed for more than a year, and it is decommissioned, and some important facilities have been dismantled, so let's do it, ten million dollars? At least it's much more expensive than what you sell to India. Zhang Yang tentatively quoted a price.

Liam was completely speechless, he wanted to say that it was really not a matter of money, but he didn't know what to say about it, because it was related to another issue that was very important to the UK, so he could only be sloppy about this matter: "Mr. Zhang, this matter is not for me to decide, I need to discuss it with the Prime Minister." ”

"Well, I'll give you plenty of time. However, I hope that our agreement will be signed as soon as it is signed, so let's wait for the time being. Zhang Yang nodded and said.

Liam had a pain in the egg for a while, but everyone said so, and he didn't have a good way, Zhang Yang would basically study him as long as the person in charge of the negotiation came, so Liam knew that since he said it, there was no room for change in this matter, so he could only nod his head and agree.

After a brief recess, Liam returned to his hotel and immediately reported the matter to the United Kingdom. Hearing this sudden news, the British Prime Minister was also completely speechless, the news that the Star Group recently released a maritime military university is not a secret, as long as the people in the world are online, most of them know about it, and it is naturally impossible for him, the prime minister, not to know, but I didn't expect that it would be related to the British government so soon.

It's just that...... If you look at an aircraft carrier, you will see an aircraft carrier, and the American Constellation and USS Kennedy aircraft carriers have also been decommissioned, why don't you buy them? But the egg hurts, but the UK still has to think about such a thing, and the most important thing is that the current economic crisis in the UK is also quite tight, although the emergency crisis has not completely affected the UK, but this matter has a very big impact on the UK.

So since some people are willing to buy this kind of decommissioned aircraft carrier, the British government can still consider it, just like Zhang Yang said, what can't be bought is just because the price is not enough, for the country, it is basically like this, especially when such a decommissioned warship can be used as a waste, naturally there is no god horse to sell or not sell.

As for the so-called classified technology and the like. Not at all, the Invincible aircraft carrier is already an expired aircraft carrier, not to mention that important things such as radar on it have been dismantled. Even if it is not dismantled, those radars have expired, even if they are given to the Chinese for nothing, people are not necessary. So after getting the news from Liam, the British cabinet finally decided that these aircraft carriers could be sold after certified discussions.

But the sale price, 10 million dollars, was a bit low, and after getting the return of the country, Liam immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the above decides, the negotiation on Liam's side is easy to say. So he quickly entered into new negotiations with the Star Group, this time with a unified purpose. Negotiations between the two sides were very fast.

In the end, the two parties reached a purchase agreement, but the difference is that the price is not 10 million US dollars. Instead, it became ten million pounds, and the dollar is now depreciating globally, and everyone is not stupid, so Britain does not want the dollar either. But none of this is a problem, now that an agreement has been reached. Then the rest couldn't be simpler. Especially after Zhang Yang learned that the equipment on the aircraft carrier Invincible had not been completely dismantled, Zhang Yang simply paid more than one million pounds and asked the British government to keep some of the equipment.

Anyway, those things are outdated technology, and there is nothing to talk about secrecy. And after these things are left, the Invincible can leave for China immediately after a short period of maintenance. It was saved to go back to the shipyard for refurbishment. This aircraft carrier is not the same as the Waglian, which is a half-finished product. It has not been built, although the shell is old. But most of the stuff is brand new. But the Invincible has been in use for twenty or thirty years, so there's no need to make a radical change. But it's good to teach.

And if you give it some anti-submarine helicopters on the deck, you can also practice the anti-submarine formation and so on. After signing the agreement with the UK, Zhang Yang asked Chen Xiaowei to immediately release the news to the outside world through the media. When the news spread around the world, everyone was completely speechless.

Another one! Although it can only be considered a light aircraft carrier, it is also an aircraft carrier! A school ...... You've not only bought an aircraft carrier to go back, but your teaching level is too exaggerated. Even Jane's Defense didn't digest the news for a while, or they simply didn't know what to say.

In the last issue, Jane's Defense was still saying that the Star Technical School would become the world's top naval cradle university if it continued to develop according to the current situation, but now it seems that the Star Group seems to think that this pace is a bit slow, and one aircraft carrier is not enough, so it bought two.

Two aircraft carriers, just to move them up will need at least more than 2,000 people, this is still a guarantee of the basics, if according to what the Star Group said before, if all of them are calculated with reference to the aircraft carriers in wartime, this number will be doubled by four or five times, of course, the remaining people can be replaced by those students.

Anyway, the aircraft carrier is so big, and the two aircraft carriers combined, let 10,000 people live on it, there is no problem at all. However, these netizens on the Internet are completely crazy, China didn't have an aircraft carrier before, but now the country doesn't have it, and the Star Group itself bought two first...... And they are also two moving aircraft carriers, which are not intended to be put in the port for everyone to visit.

At least even the chairman did not expect that Zhang Yang would go to buy another aircraft carrier with the United Kingdom, at least the search aircraft carrier is completely unnecessary for them from an official point of view, because it basically has no combat capability, and it has also been discharged from the army, and there is no value in purchasing.

The Waglian was bought back because it was a semi-finished product, and if it could be completely rebuilt and added to active service, it would be able to test the level of domestic aircraft carrier construction, but the Invincible would not be able to. It is a light aircraft carrier, unlike the needs of the republic, it is not of much use to buy it back, it is enough to have anti-submarine frigates, as well as submarines, etc., there is no need to specialize in an aircraft carrier.

But for Star Ocean University, this thing is still very useful, just like the Star Group announced to the outside world, it is a very good choice to use it as teaching equipment. These students of the Starry Sky Marine Military University have been extremely proud these days, and even when they walked on the street, many people were tǐng xiōng 脯, the reason is very simple, when others ask you which university, what Tsinghua University Tongji Xi'an Jiāo is no longer able to attract everyone's envious eyes.

But the Star Ocean Military University is different, as soon as you say it is the Star University, everyone's envious eyes will immediately come, and more people will come over and start asking, when will you be able to go to the aircraft carrier for an internship? People go to aircraft carriers for school internships, and how many people have never even seen an aircraft carrier in their lives.

Because the Star Ocean Military University has clearly announced that each student must go through a year of ship-based study before graduation, these students are not worried about whether they can go to the warship at all, they only have to worry about which warship they will be assigned to. Is it a domestically produced missile destroyer? Or the aircraft carrier Waglian? Or maybe it's the USS Invincible, which you just bought?

In the past, even if it was to board the missile destroyer that everyone least wanted to go up to now, everyone would be excited enough, but now with the choice of two aircraft carriers, the missile destroyer seems to be ...... It already seems to be going to be backwards. And this short period of more than half a month is undoubtedly a huge test for the nerves of domestic netizens.

It's crazy, it's too dreamy, it's a month's time, it's like heaven and earth, a month ago, although everyone knew about the Waglian, but after all, it was still a half-finished product, and it was still lying in the dock. But after this month, how can it suddenly appear on the sea for another half a year? And more than one? Bought another one?

That's a big change, right? Moreover, in the officials of the Star Group, there are many middle school students who have just entered the third year of high school this year and are even more excited to leave a message, they will definitely be admitted to the Star Ocean Military University next year, the reason?! Cause? Quite simply, because at that time the Waglian was basically ready for teaching use!

Those former navy soldiers who were still in a bad mood because of retirement and had just joined the Star Group and had not yet opened a ship were also blown up by these news. At least they don't have to worry about whether there will be a ship to sail, it seems that before coming, their old leader did not lie to themselves!。
