Great warships

Chapter 1005: Can warships also be shared?

They've been bullied enough. Planes are flying constantly above their heads, and there are various weapons inspectors on the ground. Normally, they should be satisfied, so why do they still need to take action?
Of course it's because that guy touched the bottom line of Americans and actually allowed euros to be used to buy oil.

As long as the United States keeps printing dollars, it can buy things from all over the world. Why?
In the past, the U.S. dollar was anchored to gold and had a fixed ratio. The U.S. dollar was gold and gold was the U.S. dollar.But later, this system was abandoned, but the US dollar did not become waste paper.

This is of course because of the petrodollar system.

Although the Americans cannot continue to use the U.S. dollar as the U.S. dollar, they can let the U.S. dollar represent black gold. They stipulate that all oil exporting countries in the world only accept U.S. dollars when settling oil!

In this way, those countries that need oil can only spend US dollars to buy oil, so how do they get the US dollars in their hands?When exporting goods, they are traded in U.S. dollars. In this way, the circulation of goods around the world is still in U.S. dollars.

In this way, the U.S. dollar has once again become the only means of international material exchange. Countries have to charge U.S. dollars for exports and imports in U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar is still the world currency. The United States, the only country that can print U.S. dollars, can of course make money through the circulation of U.S. dollars. Benefit, lying on the money printing machine and sleeping.

Anyone who dares to break this rule will be severely beaten!
It was originally announced that the only people who would accept US dollars to purchase oil were the big business owners. Now that they heard Qin Tao raise this question, everyone present began to think deeply.

Qin Tao's words made them depressed.

The atmosphere during the next meal was a bit solemn. After eating, Salman said: "Mr. Qin, let's go to the bridge. There are some things I want to talk to you about."

"it is good."

This time no one else followed. There were only Salman and Qin Tao in the large formation bridge, and there were two more beds.

Not an ordinary folding camp bed, but a luxurious and luxurious leather bed!Although the size is not very large due to the passage below, the color and texture of the leather, the softness of the mattress, and the glittering gold at the foot of the bed are still impressive.

In such a short period of time, two leather beds were ordered, flown to the deck, and moved into the bridge. What a luxury!

For Salman, these were all very common things. He sat down on one of the leather beds, looked at the night sky outside, and pondered for a while before finally speaking.

"Mr. Qin, after I came, I discussed these things with you in your capital. We lured the wolf into the house at the beginning, but now we are too big to lose. We are also very confused. No matter how we develop our own strength, I am afraid we will not be able to do anything. You can’t accomplish what you want to accomplish.”

Having an aircraft carrier is a zero breakthrough. However, it does not mean that with an aircraft carrier, the navy will suddenly become the most powerful in the world. They still face many problems.

They still have a long way to go if they want to call the shots in regional affairs, and they don't even see hope.

"Of course you can't do it alone." Qin Tao said: "You need to unite many countries around you. We are all brothers. As long as we can work together, we will have enough say. Some forces that you do not welcome, You can also exclude them at any time.”

"That's what we thought back then, but we failed in all four wars. After that, we were divided and could never go back to the past."

Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, that was indeed the case at the time, but at that time it was mainly on land, but now, you want to control the ocean. Fighting on land is completely different from fighting at sea. Take your potential enemies. So far, there are only some small warships, which cannot be compared with you. You will make great achievements at sea. Moreover, for you, maritime rights and interests are more important."

No matter how many oil pipelines are laid on land, they still have to go to the seaside and be loaded onto ships. As long as warships flying the Stars and Stripes patrol the sea, they will not dare to do what they want to do.

Now, seeing the Americans standing high and attacking their neighbors whenever they want, without any regard for principles or morality, deep in their hearts, the flames that expel the United States' influence in the region are getting stronger and stronger. Sheng.

However, it is too difficult.

Even in the capital, nothing was discussed. Salman told Qin Tao this because he knew that Qin Tao had a longer-term vision and might be able to come up with some good ideas for him.

Now, Qin Tao has built up his confidence.

Don’t be nervous about failure on land, we’ll look at the failure at sea!
"Yes, maritime rights and interests are vital to us, but even if we have an aircraft carrier, our power is still too small."

"So you need to unite." Qin Tao brought the topic back: "You and other countries around you, even Lao Ba, can unite to form a naval alliance. Your country is not strong enough, but If we unite all the countries around us, no outsider will be able to tell us what to do."

Salman's eyes lit up.

"You have lived there for generations. That land belongs to you and cannot be bullied by any external force. You must unite, unite, and form a naval alliance. Our Mingzhou Group will also fully support it. How many warships do you want to order? We will give you priority in producing as many warships as possible so that you have sufficient force to maintain regional security and protect your country’s interests.”

"But I'm afraid some brother countries don't have the money to purchase it!"

Not all countries with a piece of cloth on their heads are rich. On the same piece of land, some have black gold under their feet, while others do not. If they want to unite to form a naval alliance, they must be evenly matched. If a big family is a one-man show , taking the leading role, that’s still not interesting.

"This is simple. If you have money, you can buy more."

This is a rare opportunity. Take advantage of this opportunity to trick the wealthy businessmen into buying more warships. Anyway, they have too much money to spend.

Salman frowned.

"Mr. Qin, we are here to buy weapons this time. The Dongfeng-3 we purchased before has become outdated. We hope to obtain more advanced weapons to replace our existing equipment."

Qin Tao sighed in his heart, the big dog owner is so rich that he wants to replace Dongfeng-3!Another big deal.

However, this has nothing to do with him. It only has something to do with him if the big guys buy more warships.

The construction of the Qiongzhou Shipyard is rapid, and warships will soon be built. In the future, the navy's warships will be built in the Qiongzhou No. [-] Shipyard, which will free up the Mingzhou Shipyard. Although the existing orders are still enough for several years of production. , and there are many other ships, but no one dislikes the small number of orders. Qin Tao naturally expects Mingzhou Shipyard to obtain more orders.

Now, it’s time to fool the big dog owners.

"Those equipment will be firmly in our hands and will not be accessible to others. However, to maintain the size of our navy now, we need to hire some Laoba personnel to operate it. If we continue to expand the size of our navy, then Don’t we need more people to operate it? I’m afraid we don’t have that many people.”

The Air Force has enough fighter planes but not enough personnel, so it flies F-15s on [-] days and Rafale fighter jets on [-] days and rests on Sundays.

The same is true for Navy warships. Will they have to be operated separately in the future?
"No, didn't I just say that you want to form a joint naval alliance? You have money but no people, while other countries have people but no money. Wouldn't this just complement each other's advantages and cooperate with each other?"

"You mean, after we buy the warship, we give it to others?"

Big dogs are very generous. If you go to their home as a guest, if you like something, they will wrap it up and give it to you. However, this also has limitations. It is impossible to buy a warship for hundreds of millions of dollars and give it to others for free.

"It's not a gift, it's...sharing." Qin Tao found a new term. It's not easy to fool a wealthy businessman into buying a warship.

In later generations, the sharing economy developed rapidly, with shared bicycles, shared electric vehicles, shared cars, and shared power banks everywhere.

There are many rooms in the house. You can share the room with people traveling. If your wife is idle, you can...

"What does sharing mean?" Big Dog said he didn't understand.

"For example, I have a bicycle, and I usually have nothing to do..." When he said this, Qin Tao glanced at Salman and felt that he might not understand.

"For example, I have a lot of cars in my garage. I don't drive them very much, and they just sit idle in the garage. At this time, I can share these cars and let people who don't have cars nearby drive them."

Salman nodded: "I understand, I just have more things in my hands than I can use, so I can share them with others."

Sure enough, if you say that bicycles are not good, how can a big dog ride a bicycle? This is not looking down on people, but talking about cars is much more convenient. There are indeed many cars for big dogs and they cannot be used.

"Yes, that's what it means. The car is still yours. Whenever you need it, make a call and the other party will send the car back to you." Qin Tao said, "Of course, everyone in your country has a car. There will be no neighbors to share, but warships are different. You buy a batch of warships and then share them with other countries. These warships still belong to your big family, they are just shared with other countries."

Speaking of this, Qin Tao spoke eloquently: "The essence of the sharing economy is the full utilization and efficient allocation of resources. In the final analysis, all our resources are resources common to mankind. We can share them and give them to those who do not have them." use."

"But how do you guarantee our ownership?" Salman asked.

This is not just giving your neighbor a car, just give it away. This is a warship, which is expensive to build. It can be shared with the navies of other countries for use, but what if the navies of other countries do not return it?
This is like sharing a bicycle. It was supposed to be shared by everyone, but someone broke the lock, put on his own lock, and rode it as his own private bicycle. It only cost a few hundred yuan, uncle policeman. Not worth the trip either.The big dog spent huge sums of money to purchase a batch of warships and shared them with the navies of other countries. As a result, the navies of these brother countries thought it was good and directly regarded them as their own!

Replace the senior officers of the warship with one of your own?If this doesn't work, then the navies of other countries should have opinions and agree to share it together. What will be the result?Have we become your subordinates?

If this problem is not solved, then there will be no way to share warships, and big dogs cannot be taken advantage of.

"Modern warships are not the old warships of the past. We can lock them at any time." Qin Tao said, pointing to the roof: "For example, above our heads is the navigation bridge with a steering wheel, but this steering wheel has no iron The chain and other transmission systems transmit the steering action to the rudder at the back, and there is a sensor inside the steering wheel, which is controlled by electrical signals."

"In other words, there is computer operation involved?" Salman asked.

"Yes, not only the steering wheels, various radars and other electronic equipment, but also the engines are all controlled by computers. We can set passwords in them and transmit them through the data link. It is completely operated by you. You have warships. The highest authority, after all, the ownership of the shared warship is yours."

Salman's eyes lit up, this is a good technical method!
Not to mention huge warships, even small cars have these technologies. If you buy a car with a loan, the car does not belong to the owner. The owner only has ownership rights. If you do not repay the loan in time, you will be repaid remotely one day later. Lock the car.

Cars can be locked, and so can warships.

"If necessary, even the hatches on the warship can be designed as electronic locks, which can be controlled by you."

In fact, there are many problems with using electronic locks. For example, in the event of a fire, the electronic lock cannot be opened due to a power outage to the hatch, etc. However, it must be said that electronic locks have many advantages, so their use is becoming more and more widespread. wide.

For example, on a passenger plane, the door between the cockpit and the rear passenger compartment is an electronic lock. The captain, flight attendants and others can enter and exit freely as long as they press the password, but ordinary passengers cannot enter.

Otherwise, you have to bring the key with you, and you have to change the key when you change planes, which is very troublesome.

These are all trivial. You can even put a QR code on the door and scan it when needed. The scene is interesting when you think about it.

Salman nodded: "Yes! Mr. Qin, you are such a genius. You solved our problem perfectly. After I go back, I can report your plan to see if the superiors agree. As long as the superiors agree, we will We can continue to purchase a batch of new warships..."

When he said this, Salman paused: "Mr. Qin, can we produce it in our own shipyard?"

"Do you have your own shipyard?" Qin Tao looked suspicious, do you have one?
"Yes." Salman nodded: "Our country rose by relying on oil wealth, but we cannot rely on oil wealth forever. We need to develop our own industry. Now, we believe that only industry can truly enrich a country and strengthen its military. If If we can obtain warship construction technology from you, then we need to establish our own shipyard."

Big dog owners also have dreams.

There is no future for sleeping on wealth. Several countries in the oil region have this consensus. Among them, Kuwait is taking the financial road. They not only sell oil, but also play finance. Many times in the financial market The returns are no worse than those from oil.

However, the fate of Keguo can also be seen. Finance has no power to fight back in the face of guns and tanks. If you want to develop, you still have to rely on real military power. If you want to develop the military, you must develop industry!
Therefore, big dog owners want to develop their own industries, not just the oil industry, but also the shipbuilding industry, and other industries!
If a big dog wants to truly rise and become a regional power, it can support its own national defense by relying on its own strength!

But, will anyone help them?

It is definitely impossible for the Americans. After all, the Americans only want their oil, and the Americans do not want them to be strong, which would be difficult to control.

Only the Orientals are their true friends, and Mr. Qin of the Mingzhou Group has helped them do many things. Now, he can only place his hope on Mr. Qin.

However, this is also difficult.

After all, this is equivalent to robbing the Mingzhou Group of business!He even stole Dongfang’s business!

The shipbuilding industry in the East has developed rapidly and has become a pillar industry of the national economy. If the shipbuilding industry of big companies rises, what will the Orientals do?
Thinking of this, Salman felt that he was a little rash again.

"Of course." Qin Tao said, "If you need it, we are willing to help you establish a shipbuilding industry. If you want to purchase warships, you can also produce them in your own shipyard."

No problem at all!
Develop industry?This is not a matter of words!Want to build your own boat?The most it can do is just create a shell!

Apart from the oil industry, there are almost no other industries in the country. If they want to engage in shipbuilding, they have to invest huge amounts of money to build a shipyard. At least 50 billion, right?

Among them, at least 40 billion will have to fall into Dongfang's pocket. Mingzhou Group can even make more than 20 billion, and other gantry cranes and other companies will make huge profits.

Moreover, if he does not agree, the big dog owner can also find someone else.

Qin Tao remembers clearly that in 2015, before he was reborn, the big dog owners wanted to build the largest shipyard in the region. At that time, they spent 50 billion at once. However, the business was given to the Southern Kimchi Country and they made all the money. .

Speaking of shipbuilding, the Kimchi Country is also quite strong. The cost of the [-]-ton Aegis battleships they built themselves is not much higher than that of the Eastern Aegis battleships, and other countries have to kneel down.

Of course, in this time and space, the shipbuilding industry in the East is the strongest.

Even if a shipyard is established, can a big business owner build ships independently?
Of course it is impossible. Even ship steel plates must be purchased from the East. Other supporting facilities, such as engines and propellers, and various weapon systems must be purchased from the East if warships are to be built.

In other words, the money will still flow into your own pocket in the end, and you can make a large profit without having to put in any effort.

Moreover, there is a more critical factor. Big dogs have money and can build a shipyard, but what about people?Foreigners must still be hired. They have such a good relationship with Mingzhou Group. By then, the technical backbone of the shipyard will all be from the East. It can even be said that it will be the fourth shipyard of Mingzhou Group.

Qin Tao has nothing to worry about.

Salman was a little worried at first, but when he heard Qin Tao's affirmative answer, he finally felt relieved, with an excited smile on his face: "Mr. Qin, I knew you were our best friends!"

Only good friends would help them wholeheartedly. What if they ask Americans to build warships?Even if the Americans don't fall out on the spot, I'm afraid they will have to curse them severely.

Just be your local rich man and don’t have other ideas!

"However, developing the shipbuilding industry is a big deal. You need to discuss it when you go back." Qin Tao said: "As long as you want to do it, we will fully support it. You have a unique advantage. You can build your own oil tankers, and you can also buy oil tanker technology from us. . However, if you want to be on the safe side, you can also start by repairing the ship first."

Salman nodded and paid great attention to Qin Tao's words. After talking about the development of the shipyard, he finally returned to the warship.

"I don't know when your Aegis battleship will be approved for export to us. What we need most is the Aegis battleship. Only by using a four-sided phased array radar and equipped with vertically launched long-range air defense missiles can we provide a protective umbrella for the entire fleet. Come."

At present, the main warship exported by Dongfang is still the 054 frigate. Even if it is replaced with a gas turbine and can drive up to 30 knots, it is still a low-end warship after all. Big dogs have very high standards. If you want to buy, buy the best!

What they are interested in is the Eastern Aegis battleship.

Of course, they are also interested in the American Aegis warship, but the Americans won't sell it for any money. The reason is that you big dogs don't need it. You usually just hang out in front of your house. Do you need such a good warship?
Now, the four-sided phased array radar warships in the world are either from the United States or the East, and the others are useless.

"You should know that we have two types of Aegis battleships." Qin Tao said: "Among them, the 052C is the main force of our navy. We don't know whether exports will be allowed now. There is also the 052B, which has four-sided phase control on the main mast. Array, there is a rotating phased array on the mast at the back. Although this kind of warship does not have an export license yet, it should be possible to sell it to you. If you want it, then I can help you coordinate."

"We still want 052C, we don't want small shields." Salman said.

The data cannot be faked. The search distance of the four-sided small shields is too small and cannot be compared with the four-sided large shields. Just use the four-sided small shields on the aircraft carrier. After all, the aircraft carrier is not an air defense ship, but a professional air defense ship still needs four large shields. Just a shield.

Big dog owners have plenty of money and always have high standards. If they want to buy something, they will definitely buy the best one. Money is not an issue.

"Well, let's wait. Maybe the navy will agree." Qin Tao said: "I will also give suggestions to the navy at the appropriate time. Good things should be shared, especially with my good friends."

"Thank you, Mr. Qin."

　PS: Some people may refute the Hero of East China, saying that there are restrictions on printing US dollars, and the Federal Reserve has to issue U.S. bonds to deal with it. The Hero of East China does not understand economics and only relies on its own eyes. If this thing is not the only currency for purchasing oil, If so, it will turn into waste paper in minutes. So many U.S. dollars have been issued over the years and all flowed back to the United States. It can only be used as wallpaper.

　　Looking ahead, the Hero of East China should have never tricked a big businessman into opening a shipyard, but he only helped Parthia develop its shipbuilding industry.The aircraft carrier formation of the big dog family should be escorted by 054.
