Chapter 222: Leasing the Aircraft Carrier Fleet
While using a large amount of money to acquire the subsidiaries of the Li Group, Su Yi and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei flew together to Tianjing City, the capital of the Han Kingdom.
Su Yi and Liu Lingwei came to Tianjing City at this time, it was the suggestion of the housekeeper Xiao Wenzhong, after all, Li Mingbao, the father of Li Hongtao, chairman of the Li Group, is the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Military Region of the Han Kingdom, and controls most of the rights of the Southeast Military Region.
The capital Tianjing City is located in the middle of the Han Kingdom, and the Li family's power has not yet left the southeast region, so after Su Yi enters Tianjing City, at least on the bright side, he does not have to worry about the official or military hacking him.
In addition, Su Yi came to Tianjing City to meet with the figures in the power center of the Han Kingdom to see if there was any possibility of cooperation, don't forget that in addition to Su Yi's huge wealth, he also has tens of thousands of clone soldiers and many advanced weapons and equipment.
In order to make those who control the power of the Han Kingdom pay attention to him, Su Yi sent a secret telegram to the king of the Han Kingdom through the eldest princess Liu Lingwei.
Before rushing to Tianjing City, Su Yi went to Moyungang, and in the dozens of large warehouses rented by Yuanhang Petroleum, he took out one billion barrels of crude oil in one go, of which 600 million barrels of crude oil will be used to complete the contract with the largest oil company in the Kingdom of Niga, and the remaining 400 million barrels of crude oil, Su Yi asked Yuanhang Petroleum to continue to sell to foreign countries to raise more funds to acquire the shares of those subsidiaries of the Li Group, and at the same time support the expansion of Su Yi's four self-founded enterprises.
Because of this trip to Tianjing City, Su Yi brought a lot of clone bodyguards, so Su Yi directly chartered a passenger plane.
After arriving at the airport in the capital Tianjing City, Liu Jiarui, the eldest prince of the Han Kingdom, actually came to the airport to greet Su Yi and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, the eldest prince Liu Jiarui is the eldest son of Liu De, the current king of the Han Kingdom, and the first heir to the throne of the Han Kingdom.
Although the Han Kingdom is monogamous, even the king has to follow this system, but the eldest prince Liu Jiarui and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei were not born to a queen, the biological mother of the eldest prince Liu Jiarui died in childbirth when she gave birth to Liu Jiarui, and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei is the biological daughter of the current queen.
"Mr. Su Yi, welcome to Tianjing City, my father has prepared a banquet in the palace, and I have been specially sent to the airport to greet Mr. Su Yi." The eldest prince Liu Jiarui saw Su Yi who stepped off the passenger plane and greeted him with a smile.
The relationship between the eldest princess Liu Lingwei and the eldest prince Liu Jiarui has always been very good, and when she saw the eldest prince Liu Jiarui coming to the airport to greet her, Liu Lingwei, who was holding Su Yi's arm, immediately said with a smile: "Big brother, Su Yi and I have brought you and your sister-in-law a lot of gifts, and when you return to the palace, I will send someone to send you and your sister-in-law over." β
Su Yi shook hands with the eldest prince Liu Jiarui, "I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the eldest prince would come to the airport to greet Su Yi in person, which really flattered Su Yi." β
The eldest prince Liu Jiarui said with a smile: "We should be a family in the future, I still call you Xiaoyi, you can call me the eldest brother like Lingwei, you sold us 300 tons of gold to the Gold Preparation Department of the Han Kingdom, and sold 200 tons of gold each to the Dahan Industrial and Commercial Bank and the Dahan Agricultural Bank, it can be said that we have made a great contribution to the country of the Han Dynasty, if it weren't for you becoming Lingwei's boyfriend, my father would even come to the airport to pick up the plane in person." β
Su Yi hurriedly said: "What the eldest brother said is serious, being able to contribute to the country is what I Su Yi should do." β
Liu Lingwei said at this time: "Let's go back to the palace first, after leaving the palace for almost two months, I miss my father and mother a little." β
Su Yi then sat in the convoy sent by the palace, and entered the palace of the capital Tianjing City with the eldest prince Liu Jiarui and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, and met Liu De, the current king of the Han Kingdom, as well as Liu Lingwei's biological mother Liu Yunxiang, as well as Liu Lingwei's two younger brothers and a younger sister, including the eldest prince Liu Jiarui and the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, King Liu De has a total of five children.
On the evening of Su Yi's arrival in the capital Tianjing City, after attending the family banquet held by King Liu De for him in the palace, Su Yi followed King Liu De to the study of a palace, and at this time there was already a person in an ordinary suit and two people in the military uniform of a marshal waiting here.
After entering the study, King Liu De introduced to Su Yi: "Xiao Yi, this is Chen Pu, the current prime minister of our Han Kingdom, Sun Mingwu, the commander-in-chief of our Han Kingdom's National Defense Force, and this is Yang Yuandu, Chief of Staff of our Han Kingdom's National Defense Force. β
King Liu De then introduced Su Yi to the three people in the study, "This is Su Yi, the fiancΓ© of the eldest princess." β
During the dinner just now, King Liu De learned that Su Yi had no parents, and immediately announced that Su Yi had become the fiancΓ© of the eldest princess Liu Lingwei, and the news would be announced to the public another day.
After Su Yi greeted Prime Minister Chen Pu, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Sun Mingwu and Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces Yang Yuandu, Sun Mingwu, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces, asked Su Yi impatiently: "Xiao Yi, do you really have the aircraft carrier that has been built?" β
Sun Mingwu asked, so that the eyes of other people in the study were on Su Yi's body, it turned out that Su Yi told King Liu De through the secret telegram from the eldest princess Liu Lingwei to King Liu De that he had an aircraft carrier in his hand, and Su Yi said that he intended to sell the aircraft carrier to the Han Kingdom.
Su Yi smiled and said: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, rest assured, I do have an aircraft carrier in my hands, with a standard displacement of 61,174 tons, a full load displacement of 81,780 tons, a steam catapult, an oblique angle, a straight-through mixed flight deck, the maximum speed can reach 32 knots, and it is also equipped with two fourth-generation fighters, a total of forty-four, sixteen attack aircraft, four early warning aircraft, four electronic warfare aircraft, six anti-submarine warfare aircraft, six anti-submarine helicopters, and two rescue helicopters. This aircraft carrier is also equipped with three eight-mounted anti-aircraft missile launchers, three phalanx 20-millimeter rapid-fire guns, and a number of advanced equipment such as air search radars, sea search radars, fire control radars, jamming rocket launchers, and missile control systems. β
After listening to Su Yi's introduction to the aircraft carrier, Sun Mingwu, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, said with a shocked face: "At present, the largest aircraft carrier in the world is the Conqueror-class aircraft carrier of the Gothic Kingdom, with a full load displacement of only 76,400 tons, and it is only equipped with third-generation fighters, Xiao Yi, where did you get your aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft?" β
Su Yi said with a smile: "Before I returned to the Han Kingdom, my family had been living overseas, and on some islands overseas, it had a lot of power, aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft were manufactured by my family's shipyards and aircraft factories, and even my family had trained a lot of naval and air force personnel. β
King Liu De, Prime Minister Chen Pu, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Sun Mingwu, and Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces Yang Yuandu immediately looked at each other, although they did not believe Su Yi's explanation, but the four of them did not continue to ask Su Yi where the aircraft carrier and carrier-based aircraft came from.
Prime Minister Chen Pu then hesitated and asked Su Yi: "Xiao Yi, what is the price of an aircraft carrier plus those carrier-based aircraft you mentioned?" There is one more thing, our Han Kingdom can only use Han Yuan to settle at present. β
Su Yi said: "Han Yuan can also be, anyway, I will make a large-scale investment in China next, just need a large amount of Han Yuan, an aircraft carrier plus forty-four fourth-generation fighters, sixteen attack aircraft, four early warning aircraft, four electronic warfare aircraft, six anti-submarine warfare aircraft, six anti-submarine helicopters and two rescue helicopters, I will charge a cost price, 20 billion Han Yuan." β
Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, smiled bitterly and said: "To tell the truth, 20 billion Han Yuan is indeed not expensive, but the military budget of our National Defense Force this year is only 25 billion Han Yuan. β
Yang Yuandu, chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, frowned at this time and asked Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet: "Prime Minister, can't we increase the military spending of our national defense forces?" With this aircraft carrier and dozens of advanced carrier-based aircraft, the strength of our Han Kingdom's navy will be improved by leaps and bounds, and now the navy of our Han Kingdom can only handle a few coastal patrol boats. β
After the invasion of the Gothic Kingdom against the Han Kingdom, in less than a week, the navy of the Han Kingdom was almost completely lost, and it has not recovered until now.
Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, shook his head and said: "Most of the financial revenue of our Han Kingdom is used to pay the war reparations of the Gothic Kingdom, where is there more money to invest in the national defense force, and not to mention that only one aircraft carrier cannot fight against the powerful navy of the Gothic Kingdom, but it may also cause the Gothic Kingdom to raise the alert level of our Dahan Kingdom again." β
Su Yi suddenly said: "Actually, I can not only provide aircraft carriers, but also missile destroyers and missile cruisers, if the treasury of the Han Kingdom can come up with money, soon the Han Kingdom will have a strong navy." β
Su Yi's words made Sun Mingwu, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, exclaim: "What? Xiao Yi, you still have a missile destroyer and a missile cruiser in your hands? So how do they perform? And how much does it cost? β
Su Yi then said: "The missile destroyer has a full load displacement of 8,300 tons, a maximum speed of 32 knots, two quadruple missile launchers, two missile vertical launchers, can launch anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine missiles, can carry ninety missiles of various kinds, one 127 mm naval gun, two 20 mm rapid fire guns in a dense formation, two triple torpedo tubes, and is also equipped with a helicopter take-off and landing platform, the missile cruiser has a full load displacement of 9,480 tons and a maximum speed of 30 knots, Equipped with a surface combat system with radar as the core, and its main weapons include 16 eight-mounted missile vertical launchers, two quadruple-mounted anti-ship missile launchers, two triple-mounted torpedo launchers, and two anti-submarine helicopters. β
After a pause, Su Yi continued: "Eight billion Han Yuan for missile destroyers and 10 billion for missile cruisers, I have this as a cost price!" β
After listening to the general performance of the missile destroyer and missile cruiser, Sun Mingwu, commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, gritted his teeth and said to Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet: "Prime Minister, no matter what, we have to buy some new warships for the navy of the Han Kingdom. β
Chen Pu, the prime minister of the cabinet, sighed and said to Sun Mingwu: "Commander-in-Chief Sun, even if the Dahan Industrial and Commercial Bank and the Dahan Agricultural Bank can lend to the National Defense Force, it is impossible to lend too much money to the National Defense Force, and adding one or two warships to the Navy will not change the current situation of our Han Kingdom, but will put a heavy burden on the National Defense Army." β
Seeing Su Yi's calm face, King Liu De couldn't help but ask Su Yi: "Xiao Yi, the missile destroyers, missile cruisers and aircraft carriers in your hands can be said to be all needed by the navy of our Han Kingdom, but their prices are too expensive, I don't know if you have any suggestions?" β
In fact, King Liu De asked Su Yi this way, hoping that Su Yi could reduce the price of missile destroyers, missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, although under the persecution of the Gothic Kingdom, King Liu De had to agree to surrender to the Gothic Kingdom, and also signed a series of treaties that humiliated the country, but King Liu De always thought that one day he could seek revenge from the Gothic Kingdom, so King Liu De very much hoped that the Han Kingdom could add a few advanced warships.
Su Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I just said that my family has also cultivated a lot of naval and air force personnel, so it is better for the Great Han Kingdom to adopt the method of hiring, in this case, I can even rent out a fleet to the navy of the Great Han Kingdom." β
Su Yi's words made King Liu De, Prime Minister Chen Pu, Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces Sun Mingwu and Chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces Yang Yuandu stunned, none of them expected that Su Yi would put forward such a suggestion.
King Liu De frowned and asked, "Xiao Yi, how many warships do you have in your hands?" And how many Navy and Air Force personnel have been trained by your family? β
Su Yi showed a hint of a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I can now lease an aircraft carrier fleet of the Han Kingdom's navy, including one aircraft carrier, two missile cruisers, and four missile destroyers, and the combat personnel of the entire aircraft carrier fleet will reach full strength." β
