Chapter 100: Expanding Power
"As the largest buyer of retired Russian weapons, I had frequent contact with senior officers of the Navy Command during this time, and I obtained a lot of confidential information. Pen ~ fun ~ Cabinet www.biquge.info The former Soviet Union has just been dissolved, and those small countries under the Russian Federation are ready to move, and there is naturally the secret support of Western countries behind them, for which the Russian government and military urgently need large sums of money to support the upcoming war. ”
"This time, in addition to the nuclear-powered missile cruiser and the Typhoon-class strategic nuclear submarine, the military general hinted that I could discuss the purchase of the Sierra class nuclear submarine, the K-276 that hit the American nuclear submarine. The soon-to-be-retired Akula-class K-248/K-263, Oscar-class K-148/K-173/K-132, these most advanced nuclear submarines are not negotiable, provided that sufficient prices are given, Russia really has no funds for maintenance, and it can't even be dismantled. Marcus said with a smile.
What's the horse? Wu Chen almost threw his phone aside, thinking that something was wrong with his ears.
The Sierra class, that is the fourth generation of nuclear submarines of the former Soviet Union, underwater goldfish made of titanium alloy, the cost is very, very expensive, even the former Soviet Union can't afford to build, only six ships were stopped. This thing is a killer created specifically for strategic nuclear submarines, and can also attack surface ships.
The Akula-class nuclear submarine belongs to the third generation of nuclear submarines, the underwater noise is quite low, it can dive to the bottom of the sea for 650 meters without harm, the speed is 35 knots, and it uses an expensive titanium alloy shell, and the safety factor is very high.
The Oscar-class nuclear submarine is the world's largest tactical nuclear submarine, and the sinking of the nuclear submarine named Kursk was once a sensation, and this thing is known as the killer of the aircraft carrier fleet and is the main ocean-going strategic deterrent force of the Russian Navy.
This is really a crazy era, everything can be bought, even such strategic nuclear equipment dares to be sold, to what extent are Russia's finances tight?
Of course, the Russians' temperament has not yet fallen to the bottom line, nuclear submarines can be sold, but warheads will not be sold, so even if these nuclear submarines are purchased, they can only be used as conventional tactical submarines, whether it is worth it or not, estimate it yourself!
Even if money can afford it now, where to put nuclear submarines is a question, and a big one. There are only two decommissioned conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and it is estimated that although Southeast Asian countries are nervous, Western countries certainly don't care, the aircraft carrier park tourism project, by the way, can also slap Russia, how interesting is it?
But nuclear-powered missile cruisers plus strategic nuclear submarines, it's not the same thing, these things are too dangerous, they directly pose a major threat, according to the logic of the Americans, that is, they have brought instability to the world, and they must do everything possible to exert pressure, and it is impossible to mothball, weapons and facilities must be dismantled, and it is better to dismantle even the hull and submarine!
"Drag it out, how long can it be delayed, we don't have so much spare money, the Golden Triangle needs quiet development, you buy the previously negotiated Kirov nuclear-powered missile cruiser and Typhoon nuclear submarine, and then buy the Minsk aircraft carrier, and the deal with Russia is temporarily over."
"These world's most advanced strategic-class nuclear submarines will attract the attention of too many countries, and we don't have the strength to confront those people now, and nuclear submarines without warheads are not a killer feature, it doesn't matter if they have it or not." Wu Chen said.
With a phone call, Kirill, who remained in Sierra Leone, rushed to the presidential palace and conveyed Wu Chen's greetings to the new president, Slatse, and offered to lease the port of Bonthe on Shelbrough Island as a freight transfer station for the Rainbow Shipping Company, and was ready to provide another 10 million US dollars worth of food supplies as support for the new government.
Everyone is the best partner at the moment, and even Slatse's presidential position is also relying on the help of the Golden Triangle mercenaries, and the presidential palace and parliament speak highly of the mercenaries' behavior.
More than 30,000 tons of grain will play an important role in domestic stability, African countries are not Western countries, the needs of the people are very simple, as long as there is food, who is idle and the government to confront the government?
Instead of plundering Sierra Leone's resources, these international mercenaries provided a lot of food supplies and sent medical teams to treat the people without charging any medical fees.
Several hospitals and schools were built free of charge, doctors, nurses and teachers were recruited, all of whom were paid by mercenaries, and the government still owes the mercenaries tens of millions of dollars in advance food funds.
More than 99 percent of Sierra Leonean officials and citizens believe that the Golden Triangle mercenary corps is not a mercenary at all, but a real international charity, a protector of Sierra Leone, so there is no obstacle to cooperation between the two sides.
After only one morning of discussion, the presidential palace decided to lease the port to the Rainbow Shipping Company in perpetuity, with the right to develop and manage the island of Schelbro, for a nominal rent of $100,000 per year, and then the parliament passed it unanimously. As long as the Golden Triangle mercenaries do not interfere with Sierra Leone's interests, it does not matter what the government does.
Why does Wu Chen want to invest in Sierra Leone, this is the best answer, Sierra Leone will become a major base in West Africa, combined with Somalia in the east, radiating the whole of Africa, this is the strategic plan in his mind, and now, half of the task has been completed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Bangladesh government, which urgently summoned the ambassadors of Thailand, Myanmar and Vietnam, lodged a strong protest because the police in Chittagong caught several agents carrying miniature cameras on board the aircraft carrier, which is an inexcusable act.
The ambassadors of the three countries said that governments are seriously concerned about Bangladesh's purchase of aircraft carriers, which will lead to an imbalance in Southeast Asia.
Balance your sister, as long as you have aircraft carriers in Thailand, if we have them, we will disrupt the balance of the situation in Southeast Asia?
Nima, there is no such thing as strong words!
Besides, your agents are blind and don't see Rainbow Shipping disassembling the weapons and equipment on the carrier?
"Shenma, Rainbow Shipping Company has dismantled a lot of weapons and facilities in order to build an aircraft carrier theme park? Are you sure this is true? ”
"Nima, those agents of your intelligence department are a bunch of stupid rice buckets, a pure waste of state funds, this kind of thing can be wrong, why don't they kill themselves?" The commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces lashed out at the head of the intelligence service.
After such a big oolong incident, the Thai military felt very embarrassed and paralyzed, it was all the stupid nonsense of your intelligence department, describing the situation as a thousand shots, this is good, people protested, right?
Also, it's not that you have to shoot the core secrets of aircraft carriers, and the country also needs such high-tech reserves, but you guys should be careful, they were caught by the tail, do you know how passive we are?
