Chapter 171: Return to the Gulf of Aden
According to the consultation between Blanklin and the Russian side, the total number of missiles is about 500, and it will be divided into ten batches to reach the base of the Jiaolong Pirate Group, and the process will be about a year.
Although the total time is one year, but the Russian staff will be stationed in the Jiaolong base in the near future, after all, missiles are high-tech things, ordinary people simply cannot operate, and do not know how to operate at all, in this case, it is necessary to train a group of Jiaolong pirate groups, so that they can master the skills of missile launch and maintenance, and the total sum of zero and zero is expected to form combat effectiveness within two years.
And Jiang Lin is not waiting for the missile to arrive, but thinking about how to carry out preparations.
Hundreds of missiles are not a joke, they are billions of dollars, and they must be bought with value.
The area of the Mausbagan Emirate is so large, it can't fit so many missiles at all, and eggs can't be put in one basket, of course Jiang Lin understands this reason.
So now Jiang Lin is trying to figure out a way to see if he can get a missile destroyer, only this thing can hold the most missiles.
But how easy is it to get a missile destroyer? The cost alone has reached a billion US dollars, and if it is exported, the price will only be higher, and this kind of thing is not something that can be bought with money, it is simply a priceless existence.
In addition, although the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment has a protection agreement with the Mausbagan Emirate, the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment is not an official army, so it is impossible for other countries to sell this kind of national weapon to the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment.
Without a missile destroyer, the missiles of the Jiaolong Pirate Group can only pass through a fixed launch mode, and the survival rate of the missiles will be reduced to a minimum.
Let Huaxia help, this involves core interests, and the old foxes in Huaxia will definitely not agree, and now the only thing Jiang Lin can rely on is the Republic of Maldives.
Only the Maldives diplomatically purchased missile destroyers internationally, and then handed them over to the Jiaolong pirate group for use.
So Jiaolong urgently contacted Oliver of the Republic of Maldives, hoping that he would come forward and report the situation to the Congress of the Republic of Maldives.
After several days of discussion, the Maldivian parliament decided to help the Jiaolong Pirate Group purchase missile destroyers.
In fact, the reason why the Maldives helps the Jiaolong Pirate Group is not only because of the cooperative relationship between the two sides, but because now nearly half of the Navy of the Republic of Maldives is now stationed in the Mausbagan Emirate to carry out security tasks, so that the maritime security of the Maldives can not be effectively guaranteed, but if the Jiaolong Pirate Group has its own missile destroyer, then Jiaolong will assume the security task of the Mautsbagan Emirate, so that the defense and security problems of the Maldives will be much smaller. In addition, the Jiaolong Pirate Group has a missile destroyer, which can also better maintain the cooperation project between the two sides and make it unaffected.
According to Jiang Lin's suggestion, the Maldives will first consider the missile destroyers of the Russian Navy.
After checking the information, Jiang Lin finally locked on the Russian Dreadnought-class missile destroyer.
Width: 17.3m. Draft: 6.5m. Speed: 32kn. Endurance: 2400Nmile/32kn, 6500Nmile/20kN, 14000Nmile/14kN. Staffing: 296 people. Power plant: 4 KVN boilers. 2 GTZA-674 steam turbines with a continuous power of 73.13m, twin shafts, with a first booster.
According to the information, this type of missile destroyer can be equipped with the missiles purchased by Blanklin, and this class of missile destroyers will be eliminated by Russia because of their long service time.
As long as the missile destroyers are in hand, the overall strength of the Jiaolong Pirate Regiment will rise by more than one level, and even exceed the size of the Maldives Navy.
At that time, the Jiaolong Pirate Group will have more than 30 Jiaolong speedboats, two medium and large cargo ships, three coast guard ships and two missile destroyers.
But the problem also arises, now there are more than 200 members of the Jiaolong Pirate Group, and the number of ships in the hands of the Jiaolong Pirate Group has also met the needs, if two missile destroyers are added, it will undoubtedly need to increase the scale of nearly 600 people.
In the Emirate of Mausbagan, there are only about 800 indigenous people in total, which cannot meet the needs of Jiaolong's expansion, and the only way now is to return to the Gulf of Aden.
Africa, perennial wars and poverty, has spawned many mercenary gangs, therefore, Africa is a paradise for mercenaries, and it is also the place where human life is the least valuable, so Jiang Lin decided to go there and recruit enough members.
The return of the Jiaolong Pirate Group to the Gulf of Aden is not just to expand its members, but also for a larger reason, that is, to take the initiative and find the Merka Pirate Group.
Because Jiang Lin knew in his heart that there would inevitably be a battle between the Jiaolong Pirate Group and the Merka Pirate Group, but Jiang Lin was unwilling to let the war between the two sides spread to the Mausbagan Emirate, because there were nearly 1,000 indigenous people here, plus the workers from all over the country who developed the Maussanbagan Emirate, so this trip was inevitable for the Jiaolong Pirate Group.
The next morning, nearly two hundred Jiaolong members had already assembled in the port of the Mausbagan Emirate, according to the plan, two medium and large passenger ships and twenty Jiaolong speedboats would follow the Jiaolong, and the remaining Jiaolong members were responsible for garrisoning the Mausbahan Emirate.
This time, when Jiang Lin set off, he did not have the calmness and calmness of the past, his brows were tightly furrowed, according to the current situation, the other party was equipped with missiles, but the Jiaolong Pirate Group had nothing, and it was not symmetrical at all in terms of strength, so what would happen next, Jiang Lin could not predict, but Jiang Lin did not tell Avril about the situation, after all, there were some responsibilities that had to be borne by Jiang Lin.
Sailing at sea is quite lonely, especially this kind of transoceanic voyage.
However, Jiang Lin was a little annoyed at this time, because the Maldives gave a one-time advance payment of 10 billion US dollars, which means that this Jiaolong pirate group can only have 10 billion US dollars in the near future.
The total value of the two missile destroyers will reach 2 billion US dollars, so 10 billion US dollars may seem like a lot, but in fact it is not enough to see.
Then Jiang Lin must think about how to make more money, otherwise the Jiaolong Pirate Group will go bankrupt in the near future, and sure enough, building a navy is the most expensive to burn.
Making money, making money, now making money has become Jiang Lin's primary consideration, but the top priority is to solve the problem of the Merka Pirate Group, otherwise everything is not to be discussed.
