21, June 23.

Thousands of miles of blue water, between the blue sky and the blue sea.

The Luzon Third Fleet appeared in the Strait of Malacca with 7 warships with all their belongings.

Several destroyers belonging to Star Island also appeared in the nearby sea.

Although the Luzon Navy had already informed the Sing Tao side of the incident in advance, after all, it was seven warships that appeared in the Strait of Malacca, which would have some impact on the already very congested shipping routes.

In the cockpit of one of the destroyers in Star Island.

Tom and an American rear admiral, holding binoculars, were observing the Third Fleet in Luzon.

"1 amphibious assault ship, 3 frigates, 3 supply ships."

"Advisor Tom, do you have any details about them?"

Tom put down the binoculars: "These warships are all produced by the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company, the amphibious assault ship is called the Luzon class, with a full load displacement of 35,000 tons, and can carry 32 helicopters, or large drones. ”

"The frigate is the Manila-class, with a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, and the specific weapons on board are not known for the time being, and the supply ship is modified by them using dual-purpose transport ships."

"How skilled are they?" The rear admiral asked curiously.

Tom thought for a moment: "The technology of the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company is okay, at least the gas turbines can be produced by themselves, the aircraft is supplied by the Flying Fish, and the other weapons come from the Fernando Arms Manufacturing Company." ”

The rear admiral also put down his binoculars: "They are very ambitious!" Three fleets have been formed, do you have any ideas on your side? ”

"I'm sorry, but the local side doesn't have much power to invest in Southeast Asia recently, so I can only do my best." Tom looked helpless.

The rear admiral frowned, but he also felt very tired when he thought of the recent troubles in his homeland, Southeast Asia was not as priority as North America and Latin America in the back garden.

……

At this time, the amphibious assault ship USS Luzon was in the cockpit of the ship's island.

Rear Admiral Olaf of the Luzon Navy was also holding a telescope, observing several destroyers on Star Island, as well as Star Island in the distance.

As an archipelago region, Luzon is at the heart of developing its navy and air force.

At present, Luzon has formed three fleets, namely:

The First Fleet, stationed on the east coast of the Luzon Islands, faces the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean.

The Second Fleet, based in the port of Manila, patrolled the west coast of the Luzon archipelago and escorted Luzon transport ships through the Strait of Malacca.

The Third Fleet, which was on its way to the Ceylon Ocean, would temporarily be stationed in the port of Dawei in Honsavady while escorting ships in the waters near the Persian Gulf.

In fact, there is a high probability that the Third Fleet will be stationed in the Ceylon Ocean in the future, and it is basically the fleet of Honsawady.

In addition, under the umbrella of Homo sapiens, there are also the Siam Navy and the Malaysian Navy, and the combined strength is barely enough.

The reason for the hasty transfer of the fleet to the Ceylon Ocean is mainly due to the recent unquiet in the Persian Gulf, coupled with the fact that many pirates threaten the shipping routes.

Recently, Aoba Group has reached a series of long-term contracts for oil and gas supply with Qatar, Persia and Saudi Arabia.

The company responsible for transporting oil and gas to the Aoba Group is the New Luzon Shipping Group.

On the side of Dawei Harbor in Hungsavady.

Not only is it the largest glass-making city in Southeast Asia, but it is also the construction of an oil pipeline and a gas pipeline, which are directly connected to Siam.

In other words, the gas and oil that Siam needs can be transported directly from Dawei without a detour through the Strait of Malacca.

In order to facilitate trade with Honsawady, Persia also registered a Persian trading company in Yangon, which was responsible for this trade.

Although America and the European Union have been constantly suppressing Persia, and even banned other regions from trading with Persia.

But this other region, absolutely does not include Honsavady.

After all, Honsavardy and the America also have a bad relationship, and the gold dollar is not a credit currency, but has value in itself, as long as the two sides agree to establish a settlement bank to coordinate trade, they can bypass the America and the European Union.

In recent years, in the eyes of the outside world, Luzon, which also has a long back of the head, has become very cold in its relationship with America, and a food war has even broken out between the two sides.

Therefore, the cooperation between these regions seems to be huddling together for warmth.

This time, the purpose of the Luzon Third Fleet entering the Ceylon Ocean was to guard against the small moves of the Americans.

The current Homo sapiens company doesn't have too many scruples about America.

After all, at this time, there were already 23 atomic bombs of the 300,000-ton yield class and 6 hydrogen bombs of the 1 million ton yield level in the Black Tiger Canyon of Honsavady.

If America makes a small move against the convoy, then the Luzon Navy will definitely dare to retaliate.

What's more, at this time, America has been overwhelmed by local and Latin American affairs, and it is still unknown whether it has the energy to do things in the Persian Gulf.

Homo sapiens is only taking precautions.

……

Ahasi, the president of the Persian International Trade Company, had a large sum of gold dollars in his hand and went on a shopping spree in Yangon.

After all, the trade rules of Honsavady are very simple, that is, you can import as much as you want, and a relative balance is required.

Persia exported gas and oil to import new medicines, grain, meat, timber and paper from Honsavady.

Ahasi sits in the trading room of the Yangon Commodity Trade Centre.

While communicating with the country about what needs to be purchased, he also asked his subordinates to find the corresponding suppliers on the computer.

"President, China wants us to purchase a batch of high-quality rice, the quantity is not less than 50,000 tons, and the shipping date must be before October."

Ahsi turned his head: "Musha, put the 50,000-ton order on the line, and the contract execution deadline is before October 5." ”

"Okay."

After a while, eight cooperation consultation letters popped up on Musha's computer page, and she quickly printed out these cooperation consultation letters, sorted them out, and handed them to the president for evaluation.

Ahassi flipped through the eight cooperation consultation letters.

Five of these rice suppliers are from Honsavady and three from Siam, and the prices are all about the same in the same period, with the difference being the variety and quality of the rice.

He inquired about the recent international price of rice and soon decided to purchase 50,000 tonnes of first-grade long-grain indica rice from the Magway Grain Company of the United Group.

Then I asked for a quote from the shipping company.

For this commodity, the quotation of the New Luzon Shipping Company is relatively low.

After all, bulk commodities are easier to manage due to their single product, and there is no need to gather enough containers for large-scale transportation.

Soon the New Luzon Shipping Company arranged for a 50,000-ton dual-purpose carrier to quickly go to Yangon Port to load the 50,000 tons of paddy.

This dual-purpose transport ship is the main product produced by the New Luzon Shipbuilding Company, which is generally divided into grain + gas transportation type, container + gas transportation type, ore and building materials + gas transportation type.

After assembling a dozen transport ships, the Luzon Third Fleet, which had been resting in Dawei Harbor for more than a week, also assigned a part of its warships to escort these transports to the Persian Gulf region.

The ships carried grain, building materials, clothing, frozen chicken, frozen mutton, new medicines and test strips, as well as palm oil and coffee beans from Malaysia, as well as some machinery and electronics from China.

These things are transported to various countries in the Persian Gulf, and then natural gas is obtained from these countries, transported back to Honsawady, Luzon, or resold to China and Siam.

This trade model is a great test of the company's internal coordination ability.

It is necessary not only to take care of the trade balance, but also to allow transport ships to form a fleet on a regular basis to improve the cost performance of each escort.

If it weren't for a giant company like Homo sapiens, even a world hegemon like America, it would be difficult to do it, because they have different interest factions within them.

And the self-contained, highly cohesive company of Homo sapiens can achieve this precise regulation.

The transportation cost of the gas carrier using crystal sponge is lower than that of the general LNG carrier, and the safety of the fleet mode has also been improved a lot.

Taken together, the advantages of the New Luzon Shipping Company are significant.
