Chapter 144: I Want That Cruiser
If those international tycoons see this gem sent by Prabhakaran, they will definitely try their best to keep it for themselves, but Long Yi is an intelligent robot, coupled with the continuous salvage operations of the deep-sea rope collection team during this time, there are hundreds of gems similar to the one sent by Prabhakaran in the storage room of the second base, so this sapphire is nothing in Long Yi's eyes, so when Long Yi saw the gem in Prabhakaran's hand, there was no trace of expression change on his face, he just reached out and took the gem, He thanked Prabhakaran: "Mr. Prabhakaran! On behalf of my master, I thank you for the gift, there is still some time to get to the Emerald Isle, take advantage of this time to bring your subordinates to familiarize yourself with this warship that will soon belong to you! ”
Seeing that Long Yi left the deck with the gem as if nothing happened, Prabhaemi on the side immediately whispered to Prabhakaran, "Father! This sapphire is rarer than the Star of India, you can give it away, and the price you promised before is not too great, you must know that we have just overthrown the political axe today, and we still need a lot of money for the construction of the new political axe, and you promised them that their investment in our Ceylon will be tax-free, which is a lot of money. ”
When Prabhakaran heard his son's words, his face immediately showed an expression of hatred that iron is not steel, and he angrily taught Prabhaemi a lesson: "I just taught you a lesson before, you don't reflect on what I said to you, and you are still obsessed, the Seventh Fleet of the United States, that is currently the strongest armed force in the South Pacific, not to mention our military strength, even if it is a military power in the South Pacific, there are few that can compete, but it is such a powerful force, the other party said to clean it up, It is even ready to pack up the strength of the Third Fleet and two divisions of the United States, such an organization that dares to confront a superpower like the United States, and we can hardly even call it an ant in their eyes. ”
"And the other party has sent us a lot of weapons and equipment, I believe you should be very clear about the value of these weapons and equipment, not to mention the warship that the other party sent, not to mention that the gem can be compared, as for the tax exemption, do you think even if they are willing to pay taxes, how much can they give us? Can we afford to ask for money from them? So in this way, I might as well be a favor, use the gems we sent, get some more benefits from them, get some weapons assistance, and even let them help us when we need help, but now it seems that the other party didn't pay attention to the gem we sent at all. Prabhakaran said this, and his eyes unconsciously showed a look of disappointment.
After the disappointed Prabhakaran finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to Prabhaemi on the side, turned to look at the curious subordinates who were watching from Sichuan, and shouted: "I believe you must be very curious now, why are we taking advantage of the American warship?" Let me tell you the mystery of this morning, when we succeeded in overthrowing the [***] political axe, the American Seventh Fleet launched an attack on our allies, only to be captured by our powerful allies, and this warship was a gift from our allies to us to form the New Political Axe. ”
When the LTTE soldiers learned that the American warship was a gift from the Holy Dragons, they immediately boiled, and some soldiers couldn't even suppress the joy in their hearts, holding their weapons high and shooting at the sky to vent their inner joy.
Because these soldiers knew that they would see the captured American fleet later, they undoubtedly hoped that the warships could speed up and rush to the Emerald Island as soon as possible, until more than twenty minutes later, the Emerald Isle appeared on the sea level, and saw the faintly visible island in the distance, the soldiers standing on the deck became excited, and they flocked to the side of the ship, looking at the Emerald Isle in the distance, looking for the captured warships.
"See! That's an aircraft carrier! I saw an aircraft carrier! At this moment, I don't know if it was the soldier who suddenly shouted, and all the soldiers' eyes were attracted by the soldier, and when those soldiers saw the American fleet moored at the Emerald Isle dock, the entire deck boiled for a while.
After the destroyer docked, Long Yi led Prabhakaran to the dock, looking at these behemoths parked in front of him, Prabhakaran's mood was also very excited, and he thought in his heart: "If these warships belong to our Ceylon, then who dares to bully us Ceylon!" ”
"Prabhakaran! Mr! These are all gifts from our master, so hurry up and arrange for the soldiers to receive them! Just as Prabhakaran was whimsically looking at the warships, Long Yi suddenly interrupted Prabhakaran, pointed to the weapons parked on the dock, and said to Prabhakaran.
When Prabakaran heard Long Yi's words, he moved his eyes from the warship to the dock, looking at the heavy weapons parked on the dock, although Prabhakaran wanted those warships more urgently at this time, he still endured it and thanked Long Yi: "Mr. Long! Thank you and your master for sending us the LTTE weapons, and I am confident that with these weapons, our regime will be more stable. ”
Prabhakaran said this, paused, and then asked Long Yi: "Mr. Long! You said before that we can book a few warships with you in advance that we need, I don't know if that's true? ”
"Mr. Prabhakaran! It's all true, as long as you can afford it, you can buy it back, even if it's an aircraft carrier, but I don't think you can pay the price of this aircraft carrier with your Ceylon political axe's current financial revenue. As soon as the dragon heard Prabhakaran's words, he nodded and confirmed his previous statement, but then poured a basin of cold water on Prabhakaran's head.
was really guessed correctly by Long Yi, Prabhakaran really wanted to buy this aircraft carrier, but he knew very well that even if he poured all the country's financial resources to buy this aircraft carrier, with Ceylon's current military strength, I am afraid that he would not be able to keep this aircraft carrier, and then the aircraft carrier would probably become the spoils of war for other countries just after he bought it.
Thinking of this, Prabhakaran stretched out his hand and pointed to the cruiser in the distance, and said to Long Yi in a loud voice: "I want that cruiser, but because I have just taken over the Ceylon political axe, and the overseas accounts of the Ceylon political axe have been frozen, and I don't have any money on hand at present, so I will exchange the Ceylon gem mine with you." ”
"My master of the gem mine is not interested at all, because there are many gems like the one you gave before, and many of them are even more beautiful than the ones you gave to my master, but I can provide you with a way, you see over there, we built factories, one of which is used to produce cars, so now we need all kinds of metal ores, you can use the Ceylon political axe to buy ore from other countries, and then use these ores to exchange with us." Long Yi shook his head again when he heard Prabhakaran's words, and said to Prabhakaran.
"Metal ore!" Prabhakaran was very puzzled when he heard Ryuichi's words, he really couldn't understand the purpose of this mysterious organization to ask for all kinds of metal ores to do mystery, but for him to get that cruiser was the most important, so he didn't think about it anymore, so he said to Ryuichi out loud: "Okay! Mr. Long! I'll scrape together enough metal ore to exchange for that warship as soon as I can. ”
At the headquarters of the American Pacific Base, Clermings, commander of the American Pacific Fleet, has been in the war room for three hours since the satellite passed over the waters of Ceylon for the first time, and more than five hours have passed since the base lost contact with the Seventh Fleet, and so far there is no information about the Seventh Fleet except for the pictures shown on the satellite photos, so when he saw the satellite reach the sky over the waters of Ceylon again, he immediately ordered his subordinates: " Immediately use satellites to search the waters where the Seventh Fleet is located. ”
Soon the satellite picture appeared in front of Cummings again, and when he saw the picture on the photo, Cummings first felt that something seemed to be wrong, and immediately instructed an officer next to him: "Take the previous satellite photo, put the two together and compare them, and see if there is a difference between the two?" ”
Crimmings ordered to come here, and then asked another subordinate, "Is there any news from our embassy in Ceylon?" Call me right away and ask, I want to know what the hell is going on in the Seventh Fleet as soon as possible? ”
"Your Excellency, General! The embassy has just been contacted, our intelligence officers have not returned, the Ceylon LTTE has just overthrown the political axe today, and now the capital of Ceylon is still under martial law, it is estimated that it is because of this reason that the intelligence cannot be transmitted back in time, but the embassy has said that as long as there is news there, they will contact us immediately. Then the officer heard Cummings' order, and immediately reported to Cummings what he had just obtained.
"The Third Fleet is currently at that position, tell the commander of the Third Fleet not to enter immediately after the fleet is close to the waters of Ceylon, send reconnaissance planes to conduct an all-round reconnaissance of the location of the Seventh Fleet, and let me know what is going on in the Seventh Fleet, and then decide on the next step." Since learning that the accident with the Seventh Fleet had occurred, Cummings has not felt very good, and he always felt that the loss of contact with the Seventh Fleet was a bit strange, so after listening to the report of his subordinates, he thought about it carefully for a while, and immediately revised the previous plan.
