Chapter 187: Expensive Fireworks
Neon is a special country in that it does not have its own factories specializing in the construction of weapons and equipment, but has formed a military-industrial system dominated by civilian private enterprises.
The number of these companies is roughly around 2,000, and there is also a more famous company in the boxing club, such as Iwami Heavy Industries, which mainly builds (OEM) F-15s, F-35 fighter jets and helicopter gunships from the Eagle Sauce side.
Although Iwami Heavy Industries occasionally receives orders for some ships, most of the orders from the Ministry of Defense in this area are basically monopolized by a single company.
That is, a company called Neon Shipbuilding Consortium (JMU), which not only undertakes large-scale orders from the Ministry of Defense, but also receives large oil tanker projects from abroad, and even the Antarctic research icebreaker is its product, and has five military super-large docks, which can be used to build special ships such as missile destroyers and cruisers, ocean-going ships, etc., which are the products of their company.
The profits are quite considerable, and the cost of a missile destroyer is basically two billion dollars, not counting those additional weapons and equipment.
Like an ordinary listed company, the total market capitalization may not even be as good as a destroyer, and it can only buy a few missiles and go bankrupt.
But this is just an order from the shipbuilding alliance, and five ships can be built at one time.
Although this is indeed an authentic private business, if anything, its biggest customer is the Neon Defense Ministry.
Therefore, if the background background was not hard enough, it would have been eaten by a group of wolves, tigers and leopards.
Not to mention anything else, just like the chairman of Iwami Heavy Industries, Togo Denmari, is not a vegetarian. Although she is a woman, she is known as the "Merchant of Death" and is feared by countless entrepreneurs and regarded as a particularly dangerous person.
】
In 2019, a small launching ceremony was held in a very low-key manner at the Kiji Shipyard under the Shipbuilding Union (JMU), which was attended by a small number of people, but all of them were well-known figures in the Ministry of Defense, three lieutenant generals and one general.
Because this is the launching ceremony of the neon latest generation of "Aegis" class missile destroyers, which are the main force of the future fleet.
In the photo taken at the time for insiders' reference only, in addition to the missile destroyer called "Moye" as the background, the most striking thing in the photo is that the four generals of the Ministry of Defense are standing in the C position and the Shinomiya Yanan wearing a black kimono.
It's normal for the head of the Shinomiya family to appear there.
Because the background of Neon Shipbuilding Union is Sigong Shipping, which is known as the first of the three major neon shipping companies under the Sigong family, it was only used to meet the needs of its internal ocean-going giant ships at first, and then it began to receive military orders when the road widened.
Thanks to the transcendent status of the Sinomiya family in Neon, their family can be described as a privileged class among the privileged classes in the Neon country.
If the general public approached such a ship and did not leave immediately, the first sound would be a warning, and the second would be the sound of a gunshot.
So the Sigong family is too good, in order to make these gold lords happy. Just by borrowing, the top officials of the Ministry of Defense have specially built a tea room in the compact space of the latest "Aegis" missile destroyer, so that people can drink tea with peace of mind.
It is impossible for the insect organization to know that the head of the Sinomiya family, who they want to get rid of, will hide on a missile destroyer and live a very chic life.
They thought that these bastards of the Sigong family were hiding in the underground bomb shelter and trembling under their fierce attack.
The military base is crowded with people, and it is really not as safe as the missile destroyer, which is known as the "sea fortress".
It is surrounded by a vast sea, and the nearest sea is a hundred nautical miles away (one hundred nautical miles is equivalent to one hundred and eighty-five kilometers of land).
The Moyer is equipped with the Aegis SPY-1D (V) phased array radar, which is designed to detect cruise missiles and other air attack targets in coastal areas.
With the ability to intercept supersonic intercontinental ballistic missiles and destroy large ships, the vertical launch system of this class of ships is a 96-cell MK41, which can be mixed with "Standard"-2ER Block3A/B long-range anti-aircraft missiles, "Standard"-3B Block2A sea-based interceptor missiles, "Sea Sparrow" improved anti-aircraft missiles, "Asroc" anti-submarine missiles, etc.
Even if we can break through the defenses of these missiles, there are still close-in defense guns with a rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds per minute waiting.
Maybe unless the insect organization has the latest fifth-generation fighter or the "nuclear submarine" known as the carrier killer, and then launches a hypersonic anti-ship missile from a hundred kilometers away, this can kill the group of people in the Shinomiya family.
But with such striking strength, what kind of terrifying maple is there?
"Isn't it fragrant to be the boss of a few countries in your hands, and live a down-to-earth life."
The insect organization is still stuck in the same old way of destroying the door as they are used to, priing open the defense and entering it, and then killing all the people inside.
This set is obviously not suitable for the Shinomiya family, who have a good relationship with the Neon Defense Ministry and are about to wear a pair of pants.
For Yan'an, as long as he and these sons are still there, the Sigong family's first-class status in neon is unshakable.
The commander of this latest "Aegis"-class missile destroyer, Rear Admiral Ju, had to show the weight of the name of "the heart of the nation" by his respectful attitude towards the people of the Shinomiya family.
Or that the spirit of the katana, which the military department was once proud of, has also been corrupted by money.
"Sit"
The four palaces Yan'an, who was in the main position, lowered his eyelids and opened his eyes slightly, and said to the captain who had just come in.
The words were so short that it seemed as if hearing his voice was a great gift.
"Yes"
The dignified middle-aged man with a mustache and a majestic face was allowed to sit down. But his sitting posture is also kneeling, and his serious appearance looks very restrained.
The three sons of Sigong Yan'an remained silent, and they all looked at the general with interest.
Dressed in a yellow kimono, Shinomiya Huangguang sat casually, sitting cross-legged, supporting his head with one hand and yawning lazily.
Sigong Qinglong's eyes felt like he was squinting at people, his small mustache was a little funny, and he was kneeling in a suit, but he was also very relaxed.
And the third son of the Sigong family, Sigong Yunying is wearing a white woolen sweater, and he feels like a more fashionable middle-aged uncle. However, judging from his sitting posture, it seems that he is a little uncomfortable to be alone in a room with his two eldest brothers and his father, and he feels very depressed.
The female rolls and children of several of them had already been arranged in a safe place when they were fighting with the "Bug Organization", and they were not here.
The top three heavenly groups of the "Sword Biting Tiger", except for the second group of the "Imperial God" who went to hunt the "contact", the remaining two groups were all scattered on this missile destroyer.
The three sons of Sigong Yan'an are all very old, and they are basically middle-aged uncles. Every one who pulls it out can be Kaguya's father in the fourth house, but Miss Kaguya is the half-sister of the three of them, which makes people feel outrageous.
And judging from the sitting posture of these three people, they can also get their status in the Sigong family.
The eldest son is a natural advantage, vaguely (certainly) with the appearance of the next governor of the Sigong family, even in front of his own Lao Tzu, it is very casual.
The second son, Qinglong, was originally attached to his eldest brother, and he was not interested in who would be the head of the Sigong family. He only cares about his own ups and downs, this guy is a playboy who can't control his "brother" (even if he gets married, he is very romantic. )
The third son, Yunying, was not born in the main room like Miss Kaguya, and has been in the position of a marginal person for decades. I used to be cautious, but I had already been beaten by my "good big brother" Huang Guang, and I looked a little more honest. (The former chamberlain is Ai Hayasaka's mother, and the two have a good relationship, but because of Huang Guang's relationship being betrayed, they have broken off their relationship, calling her a mouse, and Ai-chan is a little mouse.) )
But no matter what, before the Sigong Yan'an has a last breath. No matter how powerful the power of the Yellow Light of the Four Palaces is, this family is up to him.
The weight of the governor of the Sigong family is not that of a family, he has mastered countless violent organs under his hands, and the monstrous power of Sigong Yan'an sees that any small action of his eldest son is nowhere to hide, which is ridiculous.
What I give you is yours, and what you don't give to you is in vain.
After glancing at his three sons with different expressions, Sigong Yan'an slowly spoke
"How have you considered my conditions, Fujioka-kun."
Fujioka Daiki replied immediately
"Yes, Mr. Yan'an."
"I have consulted with Mr. Okumura (Minister of Defense) and the others, but your request is too far, too bizarre, and I will not accept it."
In less than 10 minutes, a very urgent and brief meeting was held at the top of the Neon Agency, which was attended by the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Prime Minister, and senior officials from the Ministry of Defense.
Because if this matter is not handled well, the impact will be very bad, it will cause panic among the masses, and even a few people present may have to step down now. But the conditions offered by the other party are too tempting, to the extent that it is stupid not to accept them.
For a while, there was a constant quarrel.
Hearing this, Sigong Huangguang obviously couldn't bear it and was about to shoot up.
"But..."
Fujioka Daiki's voice changed, which meant that things had taken a turn for the better.
"Despite the efforts of Mr. Okumura and me, the prime minister agreed."
Hearing this, Sigong Yan'an nodded and looked very confused.
"Hahahaha, I knew you could do it!"
Sigong Huangguang was elated, and slapped his thigh reluctantly.
Facing the praise of the four palaces, Fujioka Daiki smiled, looking neither humble nor arrogant.
He looked at Sigong Yan'an and continued in a respectful tone
"As soon as you give the order, this ship will immediately bomb the target site."
Out of suspicion, Fujioka Daiki did not name the place there, but replaced it with the target location.
The request of the Shinomiya Yan'an is very simple, that is, to erase the Shinomiya main family, which covers an area of 750,000 square meters, from the map.
The price paid for this is that the entire Sigong Group will increase its annual tax revenue in Neon by 5% from now on, and about 50,000 new jobs will be created every year.
Such a 5% seems to be very little, but it is the data on the surface that has a total market value of more than 20,000 trillion yen (2 trillion US dollars) of the Sigong Group, although due to the preferential tax policies and the audit department and financial department of the Sigong Group are the top in the world, so the Sigong Group has not paid much tax.
But that is also insignificant to the Sigong Group, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is an absolute astronomical amount.
Even in the high-ranking officials of the neon upper organs, it is quite a large number.
People have taken the initiative to raise taxes, but they still don't agree.
But just like this, it doesn't make the generals of the Ministry of Defense blush and fight for it, and the achievement that Sinomiya Yan'an privately gave them is that the cost of purchasing special ships can be reduced partially, and there are also things like missiles that can be promoted if they buy too much.
There is no way for the military department to live by looking at the eyes of these civilian enterprises, after all, the pricing power is in the hands of others, and buying at the original price is already considered a conscience.
Money can make ghosts grind, and the Sigong family is not bad at all.
As the head of the family, Sigong Yan'an is cold-blooded to the point of cruelty, and his wrist is quite tough. Now they are sitting here safely, but they can't do without the support of so many local security forces of the Sigong family to attract firepower, which is thousands of lives at once.
But in order to let the insect organization invest a lot of troops in the Shinomiya family as the main battlefield, all of them died here, and they did not hesitate to pull these people as burials.
Sigong Huangguang is so happy because of his father's action, and the old immortals of the Sigong family will be sublimated from "old ghosts" to "dead ghosts". No one likes to be in the way of a disgusting person when they're doing things on their own.
He's the one who wants to be the head of the house, and the sooner these old obstructors die, the better. As for the lives of those subordinates, the Yellow Light of the Four Palaces will not care. It's just a tool, and when you have money, you need as many people as you want.
Based on the destroyer's firepower, it would be easy to wipe the Shinomiya family off the map.
But the important thing is that the impact of this incident is quite bad, think about it, the fleet of the military department actually took the initiative to fire at the civilian areas in its own area, what kind of incident is this?
No matter how transcendent the status of the Shinomiya family is, they are still nominally defined as commoners, and they are the same as the people in the most backward villages in Hokkaido.
It is the sanctity of the property of those who are protected by the military department, as well as civilians.
Looking at the whole world, this incident is also quite explosive.
"Shocked, the military department of a developed country has done such a thing."
It's on the global hot search twice in one day, is Neon on Daita?
Although they reached a consensus in private, it was the head of the Sinomiya family who voluntarily took the initiative to let the military department attack and blow up his own house.
But will the Sinomiya family and the upper-level authorities tell the PY transaction between them and put it on the bright side?
No, the Shinomiya family played the victim in this incident.
The image of the military department is that of a perpetrator.
Then you need a person who bears all the faults and bears all the faults.
Take all the sins alone
Fujioka Daiki, who is the captain of the ship, is the best candidate, and he cannot escape the blame, and it is inevitable that he will go to the court of the military department.
It is possible to be executed if you don't get carried out.
So what Major General Fujioka Daiki is doing well, is there something wrong with his brain? If it's hard and thankless, why bother with losing your life?
He was also selfish
Fujioka Daiki looked at everyone's expressions very happily, and said with a smile
"Mr. Yanan"
"That's... My son's one, vice president.."
Hearing this, Sigong Yan'an looked at his eldest son, and Sigong Huangguang immediately comprehended.
"Vice President? Isn't it the chairman? ”
Fujioka's son works in a subsidiary of Shinomiya Huangguang and currently holds the position of project manager and is considered a middle-level cadre.
Originally, it was only the vice president of the company
But after this incident, the words of Shinomiya Huangguang, who was in a good mood, made Fujioka Daiki's son jump a few levels in a row, and jumped from a middle-level cadre to the top cadre of the company.
Now he is barely in the Sigong Group, and he can be regarded as a famous little leader.
The gold content of this small leader is incredible, and how many people have struggled all their lives in the subsidiaries of Sigong Group are also low-level cadres.
And behind this promotion is a leap from the middle class to the rich class.
As a general of the Ministry of Defense's military department, Fujioka Daiki can see too much of the situation of "Kwon Lee bowing to money". I know that in the sick society of neon, money is king.
It's the end of his time in this position, and he doesn't get any benefit. It is better to take your own future and pave the way for your descendants.
The opportunity to take the Fujioka family to the next level is to catch the line at the top of the Shinomiya Group and let his son have a backstage.
His son was promoted by Sigong Huangguang, who would dare to provoke him in the Sigong Group?
Moreover, Fujioka Daiki took the initiative to take the blame, and the punishment of the upper authorities for him was just for show.
The military court will definitely not be able to escape, and this body will also be removed from his post, and the life imprisonment should be stable, otherwise it will not be able to calm the anger of the masses.
But the popularity of a thing is very fast, and the memory of the Internet is not much worse than the five-second memory of a goldfish.
Fujioka Daiki estimated that he would be locked up in the military prison for less than a year, and he would come out to reunite with his wife and children.
The retirement treatment should be calculated according to the treatment of the lieutenant general of the military department of the Ministry of Defense, and the milk powder money for the grandson should be more than enough.
As soon as Fujioka Daiki heard that his son had changed from vice president of the company to chairman of the board of directors. That's the joy of the eyebrows,
He picked up his teacup and laughed
"Mr. Huang Guang, thank you so much, you are giving me a big surprise today."
"I directly replaced the wine with tea, and I dried!"
In this way, the Sinomiya family can get by on face, and the fact that the enemy broke through their own door will also be covered up by artillery fire.
......
"Woo", "Woo", "Woo"
The "Aegis" missile destroyer suddenly sounded a rapid and piercing red alarm, and all personnel in the control room immediately stood by in full array.
"All staff are the first to be ready for battle."
As the captain of the missile destroyer, Daiki Fujioka, he solemnly announced the next order.
"This is not a drill, repeating one side is not a drill."
"The next step is to carry out a precise positioning live attack on coordinates x.x.x."
The personnel in the control room entered the coordinates of the missile's strike into the computer, and there was an instant cry.
"Captain, is this really the coordinate?"
The soldiers couldn't believe what they saw, and the target on the computer was Kyoto, a city with a population of one million!
Fujioka Daiki's face turned blue and he scolded
"No comment! This is a high-level military secret mission. ”
"The soldier carries out the order!"
"Yes!"
The nervous-looking soldier trembled as he entered the security code for the missile launch.
"There is no abnormality in the energy device and ignition device."
"The fuel inside the missile is normal."
"Liquid nitrogen freezing has been stopped."
"The missile launch hatch has been opened."
The Aegis missile destroyer "Moyer" is equipped with a 32-cell module MK41 vertical launch system, which can fire up to 32 rounds of ICBMs in a salvo.
With the intensive operation of the soldiers, the hatches of the sixteen missile launch slots, which had been closed, have been opened, and white gas for cooling is coming out.
Seeing that the final preparations had been completed, Fujioka Daiki roared categorically
"Launch!"
With the general's roar, the top covers of the sixteen vertical missile launch modules shattered in an instant.
"Bang!"
The sound of the missile launch was a terrible scream, and in an instant, all the missiles spewed a large amount of flames from their respective vertical launch modules and rose into the sky.
Sixteen rounds neatly and neatly fired in a salvo with the precise arrangement of the super fire control system!
These ballistic missiles, worth tens of millions of dollars, flew into the distance at a hypersonic speed of Mach 15 with a deafening momentum.
In the dark, the scene is quite dazzling.
The tail flame of the missile is like a fleeting meteor in the sky, so bright and romantic.
Finally, he threw himself straight to the ground
A white light flashed
"Fireworks" are in full bloom ....
