Chapter 176: Crazy Reward
Look, in the eyes of ordinary people, this reason is really against the sky, what mercenary mission requires the use of four aircraft carriers to protect, and which country is it especially warlike?
But in fact, the Golden Triangle International Security Company is not the same as ordinary mercenary organizations, and has participated in four national wars in Angola, Sierra Leone, Ukolan, and SAARC. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
This company is an out-and-out American enterprise, with office buildings and training bases in Los Angeles, and more than a thousand security guards in the country alone, providing protection for businesses and private individuals, and no one can say that there is anything wrong with the sale of American aircraft carriers to the Americans.
However, in this way, the third brother's heart is unbalanced again, and even the prime minister went to the United States to negotiate, but the US Navy would rather sell the aircraft carrier for one cent to its own country's shipping company for dismantling, rather than sell it to the Indian Navy brandishing dollars, according to the Minister of Defense, what about stealing our technology?
More than 2,000 naval backbones of the Golden Triangle mercenary corps arrived in Turkey by transport plane from Ukolan, and the American transport plane specially came to pick up people and quickly sent them to the United States.
With Wu Chen's approval, the main members of the Mercenary Corps Naval Command, Commander Denis, Deputy Commanders Williams and Walker, and Strategic Nuclear Submarine Commander Flor, participated in this interview together, and even the Chief of the General Staff Hunter also came.
The deputy secretary of the US Department of the Navy, since he served as an adviser to the mercenary corps, received a daily advisory fee of $100,000, and naturally had to fulfill his obligations, and he provided more than 300,000 lists for the mercenary corps, and asked the relevant agencies of the command to help the mercenary corps contact more than 30,000 of them for interviews.
According to US reports, about 200,000 people retire from the Navy, Army, and Air Force every year, and more than one-third of them become unemployed, and a large number of them do not enjoy medical insurance.
For these veterans, being able to join a mercenary organization with a guaranteed salary of $100,000 is tantamount to a new lease of life, because they have no other skills than to fight. The navy is a high-tech branch of the armed forces, and many people are on warships from enlistment to retirement, and they are the talents urgently needed by the Golden Triangle International Security Company.
Why, these people are dissatisfied with the government, they work hard for the country, and in the end, they don't even have a job, and they have to support their wives and children, what is there to be nostalgic for such a country, who does not scold the government?
In just one week, such a huge aircraft carrier formation has all reached the full strength standard, and all of them are skilled soldiers, although they may be a little older, but their combat effectiveness is no problem, and the technical arms do not rely on their fists to eat.
Under the professional guidance of the U.S. Navy, the fleet sailed towards the Black Sea after a short run-in, with two aircraft carriers, two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, six Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers, six Perry-class frigates, and six Spruance-class destroyers, loaded with fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters, and the world was watching it.
The mercenary corps training is Wu Chen's order, and the deputy captain leads the team to the base on the shore to start training, mainly physical fitness subjects, although the crew of the aircraft carrier does not participate in ground battles, but physical fitness is also very important, and physical examination is also required.
According to Marcas's request, the Shadow Order sent a group of agents with cameras to the interior of the aircraft carrier for a burst of random shots, including the layout of the aircraft carrier, engine systems, and steam catapults, and also drew many sketches, roughly for more than ten hours, and then slipped back to a stronghold in the city. After sorting out the materials and washing the photos, Marcas immediately took these extremely rare materials and flew to Russia on a special plane overnight.
More than a dozen Su-27 fighters roared to the side of a Tu-134 passenger plane, escorted them into Russian territory, and then landed at a military airfield in St. Petersburg, where they were greeted by the commander-in-chief of the Russian navy.
After receiving Marcas's phone call, the commander-in-chief reported to the presidential palace like crazy, and then the presidential office ordered the commander-in-chief of the air force to send a squadron of fighters to escort Marcas, who was about to enter the country, which was related to Russia's future aircraft carrier dream, and this matter was classified as top secret.
Unfortunately, the sketches and photos provided by Marcus do not have accurate data, and can only be regarded as a general reference. The reason for doing this is that on the one hand, we don't want Russia to get the steam catapult system too quickly, and on the other hand, it is to prevent American agents from stealing intelligence and exposing the deal, and even if the United States gets these things, it will think that Russian agents did a good thing.
But even so, the information will play an important role in the design of a new aircraft carrier for the Russian Navy, at least to understand the layout of the American conventionally powered aircraft carrier, especially the pictures of the steam catapult, which cannot be measured by value.
Although Marcus was an American, he was awarded the Order of Glory of the Russian Federation by the Presidential Office, and since his status was too special to be awarded on an official occasion, the Presidential Office decided to give some affordable awards.
For example, many of his residences and personal belongings in Russia are not subject to any form of inspection, no one can restrict his personal freedom without the approval of the Presidential Office, if he is wanted by the United States after the East Window incident, Russia will protect him even if he tears his face, he can be tax-free and preferential treatment for engaging in resource exploitation, and the government departments are unimpeded to him, and so on.
Given his relationship with Ukolan, Russia approved him as the sole supplier of oil and gas in order to open the doors of the Black Sea shipyard, but he had to ensure that Ukolan protected Russia's gas and oil pipelines to Europe.
This kind of treatment for an American is absolutely unprecedented, and the point is that the Russian military expects Marcas to bring more benefits to Russia, such as a new aircraft carrier.
With this confidential information, Russian engineers will certainly be able to design their own aircraft carriers, develop steam catapult systems, and then the strength of the navy will grow dramatically, and it is not a dream to restore the heyday of the former Soviet era.
Twenty-eight percent of Ukolan's annual natural gas production and 72 percent of its imports are 67 billion cubic meters, and at the current price of $92 per 1,000 cubic meters, it will need to spend $6.16 billion, and Ukolan needs to consume 400,000 barrels of crude oil every day, that is, 146 million barrels of crude oil, or $2.96 billion at the international market price of $20 per barrel of crude oil.
The cost of extracting natural gas in Russia is about $67 per 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas, and it earns $25 per 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas, and the cost of extracting a barrel of crude oil in Russia is about $11, which is equivalent to earning $9 per barrel.
According to the price given by the Russian government, Makas can earn 20 US dollars for 1,000 cubic meters of natural gas, which is equal to 1.34 billion US dollars, and crude oil can earn 5 US dollars per barrel, which is equivalent to 730 million US dollars, and the two can add up to 2 billion US dollars a year.
