Chapter 060, You Cow
If Badr and the others knew that Canglong actually went to the Dubai Palace to drink coffee at the tense juncture of the war in the central region, it is estimated that they would have to be dizzy.
In fact, Canglong came to Dubai to fulfill the agreement of Prince Hamulet, although this agreement was two months late and he was unable to attend the prince's succession ceremony, but Canglong still came, and Hamullet, who officially became the king of the Emirate of Dubai, did not care that Canglong was late.
His succession ceremony, Canglong ginseng is not very important to Hamulat, but in the past five months, Canglong's movements in Iraq really surprised the prince, the king should not be, obviously Dubai's intelligence network did not bring some useful news to King Hamulet.
It wasn't until a few months ago that Canglong asked Hamulet, who had already taken office, for assistance that Hamulat knew that Canglong, a scourge, had gone to Iraq and was harming the Iraqi people.
This visit was carried out in secret, and even Su Su didn't know that Canglong had come to Dubai, and the only person Canglong brought was Tang Long, a student.
Compared to the youth of five months ago, Tang Long's experience in the Prophet Army made him now exude a masculine masculinity, at least in the eyes of ordinary people.
"Should I call you a prophet? My dear friend. Hamulet was sarcastic, and although the two were now grasshoppers on a rope, it was very uncomfortable for the king to learn that the dragon was seducing the people in Basra and giving himself the name of a prophet.
In Islam, in addition to Allah, that is, the prophet, followed by the pope caliphate, Maryam under the struggle of the succession parties, after inheriting the caliphate, in fact, the status is not high, as King Hamulet expected, her sister is actually a puppet of the Islamic world.
As for the important task of unifying Sunnis and Shiites, Maryam is the way, and her existence seems to only make the status of those who support the election of the caliphate more orthodox.
"If you want, you can give me a salute." Canglong smiled with a whimsical smile, "Allah's blessing is upon you." ”
Hamulet was a little speechless, as a king, he still couldn't see Canglong blaspheming their faith, but in the current situation in Iraq, he couldn't refute Canglong, at least he, an imposter prophet, did a good job.
"Say, what are you doing here with me, if you want military assistance, I, the king of the emirate, can't help it, as for the money" Hamullet paused, "I'm short of money now, you don't want to take money from me." ”
"You're really wrong this time, I don't want money, and I don't want your help." Canglong understands Hamulet's difficulties, when he was a prince in the past, it didn't matter what he did, but now as the king of Dubai, his identity is different, and Dubai is just an emirate in the entire UAE, and it is impossible to really ask for military assistance from the UAE, after all, the king is not the president.
Moreover, the UAE is also a neutral country and cannot participate in any war, except for the coastal defense of its own country.
Although Canglong said it well, Hamulet was very vigilant: "When will you be polite to me?" ”
"I want to be alone." The dragon stated his purpose, and looked at Mariam, who was masked and bowed beside Hamulet.
Hamulet's face changed: "Don't think, Maryam can't go to Iraq with you, and you don't want to use her caliph status to help you." ”
"Can you listen to me first?" Canglong's face was calm, "I asked Maryam to go to Iraq, mainly as an ambassador of peace, and I don't want to fight now. ”
But Hamulet did not listen at all: "Do you think I am a three-year-old?" If you take Mariam away, you'll be pulling us all onto your thief ship, and we'll always be neutral if you don't have the absolute strength to deal with the Americans. ”
Hamulet can see at a glance what the hell is going on with Canglong, although Mariam is a puppet, but at least she is also a caliph, and she is also elected by several neutral countries in the Middle East, if Mariam goes to Iraq and stands on the side of Canglong, it is equivalent to pulling all the neutral countries in the Middle East in, such as Saudi Arabia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates, etc.
Not to mention that Hamulet does not agree, even if he agrees, the religious forces of several other neutral countries will definitely not agree, among these neutral countries, the religious forces are very large, which is much more ruthless than asking him for money and aid, of course Hamulet will not agree, he needs to consider the interests of the entire emirate, and even the United Arab Emirates.
"After standing in a line with me, do you think you have a way out?" Canglong asked coldly.
Hamulet's face changed and he gritted his teeth: "Your fist is not hard enough, and the Americans have not been driven out of Iraq by you." ”
"Sooner or later." Canglong didn't care, stared at Maryam like a monster and said, "Mary, do you want to go to Basra with me?" ”
Maryam looked at her brother with a pair of beautiful eyes, and without waiting for Hamullet to speak, she nodded, Hamulette looked indignant, obviously the sister was not on his side, which made him very uncomfortable, but he still said resolutely: "Unless you drive the Americans out of Iraq one day." ”
"I said, it's only a matter of time, but what if I do get the Americans out of Iraq?" Canglong asked.
Hamulet was silent for a while, and then said: "If that time comes, I will consult with the president and negotiate with a few neutral countries, at least politically, we will support you, but until then."
"I see." Canglong nodded, "I will end the war in the entire Middle East, but after it is over, you need to do me a favor." ”
"What's the busy?" Hamullet was silent for a moment, then asked cautiously.
"Help me deal with the Assassin League and the organization behind it." Canglong said coldly.
"League of Assassins !!" Hamulet's face changed, Canglong was born from this mysterious organization, and Hamulet did know that there was a strong and powerful support behind the Assassin Alliance, "I will consider it." ”
"It's not a consideration, it's a certainty." Canglong said resolutely.
Hamullet was silent, he drank a cup of coffee, Mariam poured him another cup, and drank another cup, four cups of coffee in a row, before Hamullet calmed down: "How sure are you against this organization?" ”
"If you are pulled in, if you are pulling in China, you will be fifty percent sure." Canglong said.
"Fifty percent grasp !!" Hamulet didn't think this was very low, but he felt that it was too high, and no one knew how big the organization behind the League of Assassins really was, and if they wanted to, they could even control many countries, even the United States.
"And I now have the clues of one or two elders of the organization, although I can't be sure yet, but if I can follow the vine," Canglong didn't continue.
"As long as you can do what you say, I'm willing to gamble." "Also, I'm going to tell the president, word for word, your conversation with me, that he's the only one who can help us." ”
"Oh." Canglong nodded, he knew that the richest emirate in the UAE was not Dubai, but the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, where the current president is located, in terms of relations, the Emirate of Abu Dhabi and the Emirate of Dubai are also the two closest emirates in the UAE, so Hamulet is so confident.
"Is the project going well in Ukraine?" Canglong asked suddenly.
"The aircraft carrier that Russia ordered is under construction, and now the Black Sea shipyard is on the right track, in addition to this aircraft carrier, the Russians have also ordered several missile destroyers, in terms of technology they provide half, we provide half, but now the Russian Navy wants us to provide all the technology." Hamullet said.
"What about the airplane project?" Canglong asked.
Hamulet frowned: "Now the only plane that Ukraine can take is a large transport plane, which is also the most valuable enterprise in Ukraine's defense industry, I have discussed it with the President and Prime Minister of Ukraine, but the negotiations are still ongoing, although we are only a shareholder, but"
Canglong was a little disappointed, he didn't need large transport aircraft, he needed fighter jets now, and fighter Ukraine didn't: "Is the shipyard capable of producing nuclear-powered submarines?" ”
"Nuclear submarines?" Hamulet looked surprised, "You want to secretly deploy nuclear submarines in the Persian Gulf?" ”
"You see, Iraq has such a large outlet to the sea, and there are only two ports in Basra, and I am going to transform one of them into a military port." "However, I don't need a ship on the surface, I just need an underwater hull, preferably a nuclear submarine. ”
Hamullet looked embarrassed, not to mention whether the Black Sea shipyard could be built, but once the world found out that there were unidentified submarines in the Persian Gulf, the world would definitely be shaken.
"Technology is not a problem, if you provide technical information, you can completely build a nuclear submarine, but there are very few submarine technicians at the Black Sea shipyard, and it is more difficult to build." "It depends on what class of submarine you want to build." ”
"The Seawolf class, the most advanced Seawolf class in the United States, at least five ships will be built." Canglong said.
"You think the Black Sea shipyard is a vegetable market, and you can build five ships at once?" Hamullett was speechless, "Even if you have a full set of technical information, five Seawolf-class submarines will not be able to be built in ten years." ”
"Hehe, I was joking just now, let's get the whole ship out first." Canglong smiled.
"It will take at least a year, and you will have to pay for it yourself." Hamullet reminded that he knows very well that the Seawolf-class submarine is definitely the most advanced submarine in the world, and the cost is very expensive, and even the United States itself only built three and then stopped production, and it used to cost about $1.2 billion to build a Seawolf-class nuclear submarine.
But this is before, and now prices are inflated, and it takes at least three billion dollars to build one, so even the Americans are not so extravagant, and it will cost 15 billion dollars to build five ships, even Hamulette does not spend so much money.
"That's no problem, I can pay in advance, although I'm also poor now, and in half a year, all the oil in Basra will be extracted, and there will be money." Canglong is like a rich man.
"Since you are so rich, why don't you just build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?" Hamullet looked sarcastic.
"I've thought about it, but the current cost of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is at least about 10 billion US dollars, that is, it has been built, and I don't have carrier-based aircraft, let alone naval aviation, if I want to form combat effectiveness, it will take at least five or six years, with the current situation in Iraq, if I can wait for five or six years, do I still need to ask you for help." Canglong shrugged his shoulders, "Even if I can get carrier-based aircraft, train naval aviation, and quickly get them into battle, but what can a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier do in the Middle East?" I don't think it's of much use other than being a target. ”
Hearing Canglong's bold words, Hamulet gave a thumbs up: "You cow! ”
He really didn't expect that Canglong would actually think about building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and in the Middle East, as long as he is not a fool, he will not spend money on aircraft carriers, especially a country like Iraq, which has a coastline of less than 100 kilometers.
