PS: Ten more for the alliance leader "Aberdeen" is completed, and tomorrow will be ten more for the 100,000 starting coins that will be rewarded again for the alliance leader's "social guys", and there will be an update after the early morning.

For the sake of being gorgeous and sincere, can you give a reward for the monthly pass?

As soon as the test of the scorpion was over, Cai Ruichen sent Getney away, and then he returned to the base as soon as possible.

Immediately after his departure, the two sides dispatched a professional team to discuss the content of maritime security cooperation between the two sides.

The general intention came out, and the two teams discussed the details of cooperation in the main sea trials.

As long as the cooperation is signed this time, the maritime warships of the future security company will be able to operate together with the US Navy.

At present, the specific places of cooperation are limited to the jurisdiction of the US Navy's Fifth Fleet.

This area happens to be the most tense place for piracy and maritime counter-terrorism in the world, and the focus is on protecting the busy maritime traffic in this area.

After all, 40% of the world's crude oil transportation has to pass through these places, and if there is no safety guarantee, it will directly affect the global crude oil market.

However, recently, the global crude oil transportation industry, because of the price of crude oil, a large number of crude oil exporting countries, all of them are hoarding crude oil, and the global crude oil transportation volume has reached the lowest level in 20 years.

But that doesn't mean that security guards don't have any security issues at all.

And Cai Ruichen's favorite place is not the Persian Gulf, nor the Arabian Sea, but the east coast of Africa.

From the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and then south to Kenya along the Somali coast. These ground sea traffic. That's what interests him the most.

Africa in the international game. It has gradually become a new focus of competing interests among various countries, and this new focus is not much worse than the period when the Middle East was heavily exploited.

It has been predicted that Africa will inevitably become the last point of rapid economic and profit growth for mankind on the planet.

Africa, which has not yet been developed, has interests that all countries are extremely keen on, and once Africa is fully developed, it will definitely be able to drive new growth in the global economy.

At present, the total volume of the global economy is 6.7 million US dollars. And there has been no significant growth for many years.

The inherent economy, assets, and manufacturing industries have all reached a stage of saturation, and the economies that can be developed have also reached a certain bottleneck in both developed and developing countries.

In addition to the high-tech economy, the traditional manufacturing and energy sectors can already be said to have no new economic growth points.

And in the face of a continent that has never really been developed, it is natural that countless eyes will converge on the past.

This is true of the Big Five, as is the case in many developing and developed countries.

Cai Ruichen is naturally no exception, Africa is a place that can still be called virgin land. Although the division of resources is uneven, it is still a pristine environment. Once developed, the economic benefits and value brought by it can greatly benefit any country.

At present, the eyes of every mainstream country in the world have shifted to Africa for future development opportunities, and countries are also competing openly and secretly for Africa's resources and development qualifications.

Among them, Russia, the United States and China are the most intense.

Russia returned to Africa after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China developed the African environment from scratch, and the United States expanded its interests in Africa.

Britain and France were originally the traditional suzerains of Africa, and they are still colonies in Africa, and even some of them are still under their control.

Britain and France have a number of permanent military bases in Africa and the United States, and have a strong military presence in Africa.

In addition, African countries generally do not have strong armed forces, plus the vast majority of countries are constantly ****, and governments are often subverted, and the order is changed overnight.

If you don't have a certain amount of strength, you can't eat it at all in a land like Africa.

Although Cai Ruichen does not have the energy to go to Africa to do anything at present, everything needs a process.

Just because you don't have the energy to do anything now doesn't mean you can't do it later.

After the preliminary preparation and planning, you can now start planning.

The current viable way to travel from Iraq to Africa is by sea.

If in the future, it is entirely possible to go from Saudi Arabia to Egypt, and then across the Suez Canal, into the African continent.

However, this idea cannot be completed at present, and it is very convenient at sea.

Straight down from the Arabian Sea, into the Indian Ocean, down a little bit to the Gulf of Aden, then to the Somali Sea, and here to Africa.

At present, in the future, convoys often rush through the Gulf of Aden, and more often follow the African coastline, bypassing the Cape of Good Hope, and heading directly to South America.

If an agreement is reached with the United States on cooperation, it is just right to send warships directly to the Gulf of Aden to escort the ship.

Even if it is not a sovereign country, it is no problem to go to the show of the Gulf of Aden, a global naval state, with the help of the name of the United States.

However, it is still a bit early for the escort in the Gulf of Aden now.

After all, relying on the midges alone, going there is at most compensation from the US Navy, there are no supply ships, and there are no certain large warships, and the midges can only go there for a circle, and then they need to return immediately.

The displacement of the scorpion itself limits the inability to sail on the sea for a long time, and the compact layout of weapons makes the space inside the warship not very large.

Such a warship, without the escort of a supply ship, is destined to be unable to sail alone, and the continuous voyage time at sea will be on the short side.

This may be a shortcoming of the seascry, but the displacement is so much, and it is almost a common shortcoming of warships of the same class.

However, if you are accompanied by supply ships and large ships, you can still do it, and you are not going to the center of the ocean, near the sea, and there is no problem with the activities of the sea scorpion.

In order to achieve such a goal, Cai Ruichen bluntly told Getney that the future security company is currently building a destroyer with a displacement of about 6,000 tons. It is expected that the sea trials will be completed in about three months.

Speaking of the existence of multi-functional destroyers, Cai Ruichen also felt that three months later, the outside world would know about it, and there was no need to hide it from the United States now.

However, when Getney heard this, he didn't look much surprised, but said that he already knew.

In the follow-up detailed exchanges between the two sides, they also focused on the issue of escort in the Gulf of Aden, and conducted in-depth exchanges.

The US Navy naturally did not refuse the request of the security company to escort its own ships in the future.

However, the US Navy also requires that this kind of escort must also protect the merchant ships of other countries at the same time, and this kind of protection is of an obligatory nature, and there will be no income from any protection fees.

In particular, the protection of American-flagged vessels, as well as those large fishing vessels of European NATO allies along the coast of Africa.

Future Technology Group did not refuse this, although Cai Ruichen also knew very well that those fishing boats went to Africa to fish along the coast, which was actually illegal fishing.
