Chapter 379: Aid Plans from China
There is no problem with the price, it is much cheaper than the ammunition that Lin Qing bought in the Netherlands before, and generally speaking, most of the shells of tanks are universal unless they are specific ammunition, for example, the shells of 120mm caliber guns are universal, and the shells of the United States and Britain can be used at will as long as they are 120 shells.

Now what Lin Qing wants to buy most is a warship, for Palawan, what is most needed now is also a warship, the main warship purchased in the Netherlands is still a little old, for an island country like Palawan, the number of three warships is indeed a little insufficient.
In terms of fighter jets, Lin Qing jumped directly, these things are large national orders, and the general private armed forces rarely buy fighter jets, and Palawan has just purchased a batch of Dutch F16 fighters before, and now there is no shortage of fighters for the time being.
If it is sold in Africa and the Middle East, there are few owners who can eat fighter jets, and most of China's fighter jets are old lady-level goods, and if Lin Qing sells them, there will be almost no buyers, which is also a key problem.
The Chinese side is very well prepared this time, and there are several warships for sale on the last page, Lin Qing took a general look: "Minister Chang, these are the only battleships?" ”
Lin Qing took a closer look, these battleships are all antique-level old guys, there are no destroyers produced in China in the seventies, and the latest one is a frigate, which is about the same size as the old ship in the Philippines.
Minister Chang smiled: "You also know that the strength of our country's navy has always been a little weak, so there are not too many eliminated goods in terms of warships, these are some training ships eliminated, although the age is a little old, but the quality is still very guaranteed."
Lin Qing nodded, Lin Qing still believes in this, Made in China may be considered by domestic people as copycats for a long time, and so on all kinds of bad synonyms.
However, the products of China's military enterprises are well-known in the world, and it can be said that in the world, the weapons made in China are generally given a thumbs up, but although the quality is good, the backwardness and shortcomings in technology are hard injuries.
Shaking his head, it was impossible for Lin Qing to buy this kind of ship that didn't seem to be able to leave the port: "Uncle Chang, these ships are really a bit of an old lady, Palawan now needs to strengthen its coastal defense forces to deal with the Philippines or other unexpected situations, such ships can only be used as decorations when they are purchased." ”
Minister Chang smiled and nodded at one of the directors, and a director surnamed Ma took out a document from his hand and handed it over: "Mr. Lin Qing, take a look at this information, what do you think?" ”
Lin Qing took the information, the white paper, which reads "Opinion on Strengthening Economic and Military Exchanges between China and Pakistan."
China and Pakistan here are not China and Pakistan between China and Pakistan, but China and Palawan.
Opening the white paper with great interest, Lin Qing's face immediately became serious, obviously a little unexpected for this information, this information is very detailed, it can be said that it is a basket plan for Palawan's coastal defense.
According to the information, China helped Palawan build two large seaports, and the funds were lent to Palawan by China in the form of loans, and Palawan leased the ports to China for free for 50 years.
Of course, the lease here is not like the way Hong Kong leased out, ceding land, ceding taxes, etc., but only using a military port, Chinese ships can enter Palawan for free supplies, docking, and give certain assistance when necessary.
This treaty can be a big advantage for Palawan, the Dutch gave Palawan a port, the loan needs to be repaid, while China is gratuitous, and the demand is only to open the port.
Of course, the requirement of opening ports is intolerable for some sovereign countries, but it is not an intolerable thing for Palawan, and now Palawan as a whole has reached a consensus that for the sake of the Philippines and the United States and Britain behind the Philippines, they can only hug China's thighs tightly.
Moreover, the opening of Palawan's ports to China is also a very beneficial event for Palawan's economy, and at least six of the ten cargo ships sailing in the South China Sea are from the Chinese side.
China's help to Palawan build a port for free not only obtained two overseas naval ports, but also gave the navy a stable docking zone when patrolling the South China Sea, and more importantly, Palawan is in the outermost layer of the first island chain, and after Palawan has a port, it means that China has broken through the first island chain and can enter the southeast region unimpeded.
Lin Qing raised his gaze with some reluctance and looked at Minister Chang: "Minister Chang, this condition is very favorable, there should be no problem, I can agree to China's requirements in this plan on port construction on behalf of myself, but the specific need for the Palawan delegation to come over for detailed consultation." ”
Minister Chang nodded: "No problem, keep looking, there should be something you are more interested in." ”
After hearing Lin Qing's answer, a stone in Chang Wanquan's heart fell to the ground, Lin Qing was able to agree, which was equivalent to Palawan having agreed, and Chinese intelligence officers had confirmed that Lin Qing was behind Palawan's control.
If it weren't for this, Chang Wanquan would not have been so enthusiastic about his relationship with Lin Qing, personally inviting Lin Qing to dinner, accompanying him, etc., all of which originated from Lin Qing's identity.
If Lin Qing had established a regime in Africa or elsewhere, China would not have paid so much attention, but Palawan is located on the edge of the South China Sea, near the first island chain, and this position is very critical and sensitive, and China must completely win over Palawan before the Americans can react.
This agreement was formulated by China's strategic department according to the actual situation in Palawan, and it can be said that it is a big meat bun, waiting for Lin Qing to pounce up, and this agreement will be signed, even if Lin Qing and Palawan are completely tied to China in the same boat.
And this agreement is not only about the construction of the port, there is also a bigger meat bun waiting for Lin Qing in the back, Chang Wanquan believes that if Lin Qing sees it, he will immediately agree to the Chinese side's request.
When Lin Qing slowly flipped through the plan, although the expression on the whole person's face did not change, there was a wave in his heart, obviously he was moved, very moved.
