Great warships

Chapter 1198 076 Amphibious Assault Ship

In the current international market, an export-type 052 sells for 052 billion, an aircraft carrier costs to billion, and carrier-based aircraft are also priced at a sky-high price. However, it only costs billion to build a -ton aircraft carrier for Vitalia, four s, and a full range of carrier-based aircraft. This is absolutely the cost price. If it were to be sold to another customer, it would cost at least billion US dollars.

Vitalia smiled and nodded: "Qin, you are indeed our best friend!"

"We are best friends. We have known each other for more than ten years. Moreover, every time I come to you for help, you will provide assistance immediately. We Orientals value gratitude the most. So, how could I possibly make money from you?"

"No, Qin, without you, my father and I would definitely not be able to escape, and we would probably be dead long ago. Therefore, you are my father and I's benefactor. Our Wana Group was also established with your support. Therefore, Wana Group is also yours. Now I am just keeping it for you. If you need it, I will hand over Wana Group to you at any time."

Vitalia's words were also sincere. Over the past decade, things have changed, people have changed, and the world has changed, but this most pure friendship has never changed.

Is there true friendship in the world?

Have!
Qin Tao was somewhat moved by these words, but later, Vitalia's true colors were revealed: "Qin, I have actually been coveting your body for a long time, but I can't let Zhao down..."

"Ahem, we haven't finished talking yet. You still lack underwater power." Qin Tao said, "Vitalia, the diesel-electric submarines produced by our Mingzhou Group are very advanced. With the addition of nuclear power, they are even more powerful. Do you want to buy two?"

Vitalia shook her head: "No, the aircraft carrier fleet still needs nuclear submarines. We have a way to do this."

Nuclear submarines, is there a way? Qin Tao immediately thought of something: Could it be that they are trying to smuggle a nuclear submarine here? Is it an active Russian submarine or one that has been retired?

It shouldn't be retired, because retired ones have too poor performance, it can only be active ones, aren't you guys too bold? No, I don't know you!
Qin Tao shook his head: "Then you decide for yourselves. Things are almost done. I should go back now."

All good things must come to an end. Qin Tao was very bold this time as he crossed Africa from east to west. He didn't know how he would be scolded when he returned. Fortunately, he brought back a large number of contracts, so the trip was worthwhile. Moreover, he could also trick the navy into buying more advanced warships. The navy could not blame him.

"If you want to go back, you can go through Gou Da Hu. They are very satisfied with the drones operated by your 075 and want to purchase a batch."

"Well... okay." Qin Tao nodded: "Then we'll take the Gou Da Hu route."

"Then let's go together."

You want to be together again? If you keep saying that you want my body, I can't accept it!
Vitalia smiled and said, "Qin, you haven't forgotten, have you? We in Wana have been helping the dog owners guard the border."

Qin Tao had introduced this business to him, so how could he forget about it now? Therefore, Vitalia had a reason to go with him, and it would be safer with Vitalia.

"Ok."

Qin Tao had no way to refuse, so he could only follow Vitalia on a plane, first flew to Sudan, and then took a boat directly to the other side. Everything was very covert and no one was alarmed. It was not until Qin Tao arrived near the capital of Sudan that he notified Salman.

Salman was very excited to learn that Qin Tao was coming.

"Boss Qin, welcome to our dog family. This is your home. Don't worry, Wana will protect your safety. I will send a car to pick you up to the palace. We..."

Qin Tao shook his head: "Let's just stay in your suburban manor. Your palace is too conspicuous, so I won't go there."

"Okay, let's go over there."

Soon, Salman brought his men to the suburban manor, but he only met Vitalia here. After driving for another twenty minutes in Vitalia's car, Salman met Qin Tao in an inconspicuous village outside another water plant.

"Sir Salman, my friend, I'm very sorry. I'm not sure whether all your men are reliable, so please be cautious." Qin Tao was a little embarrassed.

"I understand, Mr. Qin, your safety is the most important." Salman said, "Mr. Qin, I am very happy that you can come here. We are very satisfied with the heroic appearance of your 075 amphibious assault ship this time. Mr. Qin, we think that it is not enough for us to have only one aircraft carrier. We may need two amphibious assault ships..."

Salman had just finished speaking when his men came over in a hurry: "Report, there was an explosion in your manor in the suburbs."

Salman's face immediately turned dark. Wasn't this happening too quickly?
"what happened?"

"A car, loaded with explosives, drove into the manor, broke through the wall, and tried to drive into the manor's villa to detonate it, but we shot him dead, but the explosives still exploded."

The muscles at the corners of Salman's mouth twitched. What did this mean? There must be a traitor among his men, so when he just knew that Qin Tao was going to discuss things in his suburban manor, some people knew about it, and these people were very cruel and immediately sent someone to assassinate him.

Despicable and shameless. Those explosives are not only meant to kill Qin Tao, I'm afraid they will kill him as well!
Thinking of this, Salman was filled with fear. He looked at Qin Tao again, his face full of guilt: "Boss Qin, this is my fault. It was my subordinates who made the mistake. Next, I will definitely find this person and I will explain it to you."

Qin Tao shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I will leave after the meeting. But you, Salman, my friend, you have to be careful!"

Salman nodded, his eyes dark.

"If you feel that the people around you are unreliable, you can trust our Wana. Their loyalty is unmatched. If you need them, Wana will transfer the best agents who have been trained in the KGB to your side."

Salman thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Before, Wana was only responsible for the defense of their borders and just managed to gain a foothold. But now, as the Wana Group begins to provide protection to the top leaders of Gou Da Hu, Wana's position in Gou Da Hu will become more stable.

Vitalia was very satisfied.

"Next, let's continue to discuss cooperation." Qin Tao said: "Do you want an amphibious assault ship like the 075? This type of warship actually has its flaws, so we have improved it and launched the 076 with a larger displacement. Do you want to learn about this type of warship?"

After Vitalia put forward the demand, Qin Tao thought: Isn't this 076? He can't make money from Vitalia, but he can make money from the big dog owners!
Moreover, mass production can better reduce costs. If I return to China and trick the navy into purchasing two ships, I will build five at once, which will reduce the cost by at least 20%!

"Please speak, Mr. Qin."

"The larger the displacement, the larger the deck area, and the greater the flexibility in executing tasks." Qin Tao said: "Therefore, we need to increase the length of the deck to more than 250 meters and the width to 60 meters, so that we can operate more aircraft. Considering that we lack suitable pilots here, we can use drones as the main carrying aircraft."

Different national conditions have different situations. For Vana, they definitely prefer manned aircraft, while for dog owners, the biggest headache is the pilots, so they need more drones.

"That's right, it's a drone!" Salman was excited. He originally wanted to find President Qin to discuss the drone issue. The amphibious assault ship was an idea that came to his mind later.

"The drones we exported to you before were jet-powered and could not be operated on board ships. Now they are propeller-powered, making them easy to take off and land, and convenient for amphibious assault ships to carry. Like our previous reconnaissance and strike drones, they can also carry a large number of weapons and equipment and perform long-range attack missions. As for the production line requirements you raised, we can also meet them. After all, helping you improve your industrial strength is also one of the purposes of our cooperation."

Salman was so happy: "Thank you, Mr. Qin! With you, our industrial strength is getting stronger and stronger. By the way, can this kind of amphibious assault ship be produced in our own shipyard?"

The wealthy dog ​​owners also have shipyards, and their industry is constantly developing!

"Of course you can, but your shipyard is still far from sufficient. It's already great that you can produce frigates now. Next you have to produce air defense destroyers. As for producing amphibious assault ships, it will take up too much of your time and energy, and there may be quality problems due to rushing the work."

"Okay, then we will produce it in the East." Salman nodded. Qin Tao was right. You can't get fat in one bite. You have to take it slowly. Let's produce the anti-aircraft destroyer first, which is also what they urgently need.

"Well, Mr. Salman, is there anything else? If not, I'm leaving." Qin Tao said, "If we stay here for too long, something might go wrong."

Salman nodded: "No, Mr. Qin, I originally wanted to welcome you here with great fanfare, but I didn't expect... By the way, how much do these two amphibious assault ships cost?"

"Three billion dollars per ship, it's definitely the cost price for you."

"Boss Qin, you guys have to make money too. Four billion per ship, let's say, and the carrier-based aircraft are another count."

"No, no, three billion is enough. We are all good friends. How can I make money from you?"

Vitalia was filled with emotion as she thought about how much she had bought with her $3 billion. Qin Tao was indeed a good friend.

"Okay, then we'll give you a few more ships of oil for free."

For the big guys, oil is right under their feet. They don't even need an oil pump. Just dig a hole and the crude oil will gush out. The cost of extraction is very low. Over the years, they have been using their own oil production for dynamic adjustment, often closing or opening some oil wells to achieve production cuts or increases. Therefore, giving a few ships of oil to the Mingzhou Group is no big deal for them.

Rich, really rich.

The matter was settled, and Vitalia continued to arrange Qin Tao's next itinerary. He had to send Qin Tao to Lao Ba and then return. As for the 075 at sea, it had now attracted attention from all sides and was not suitable to pick up Qin Tao.

"Qin, aren't you still planning to sell them carrier-based early warning aircraft?" Vitalia asked curiously on the way.

"With our relationship, there's no need for promotion. As long as we develop the product, they will naturally buy it and they will pay whatever price we ask," Qin Tao replied.

It turns out that doing business can be so simple. It seems that Qin Tao makes money more easily than her own Wana. Vitalia felt very emotional.

"Okay, that's right, Qin, about the truck of explosives..."

"It must have been the Yankees who did it."

"Ah."

The time to say goodbye finally came. Vitalia looked at Qin Tao several times, and finally couldn't help but asked: "Qin, can I borrow your shoulder to lean on?"

"That's not a good idea. Vitalia, if you've had enough fun and want to find a man, I can introduce one to you."

"Okay, I'm going to find someone exactly like you."

Qin Tao remained silent again. This matter was very difficult to handle.

Seeing Qin Tao in trouble, Vitalia smiled and said, "Qin, I'm just kidding. Go back and say hello to Zhao. I'll go to the East to see you if I have the chance in the future."

"it is good."

East.

"Humph, this kid shouldn't have gone out at all. Once he goes out, he's like a wild horse running away. No one knows where he'll run to."

"Dad, Brother Tao is a man who can do great things. How can he stay in China forever? He has been suppressed enough in China in the past few years. It's not easy for him to go out for a trip, so let him relax."

"Relax? Do you know how many people are looking for him? How many people want to kill him? At least thousands, all elites!" Wu Shengli said: "If he has a... Bah, bah, bah, what discouraging words."

Zhao Ling smiled and said, "Dad, calm down. Brother Tao might be back soon with good news. Come, have some tea."

"he?"

Wu Shengli sat down, but before he picked up his teacup, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he saw a text message, and he was immediately delighted: "Great, you're finally coming back."

"I said Brother Tao would be back soon, he..."

"It's good that you come back safely, it's good that you come back safely." Wu Shengli also put down the big stone in his heart. If Qin Tao had an accident, what would happen to his daughter, grandson and granddaughter? If someone else took over such a huge industry of Mingzhou Group, would it go downhill? Even if these could be thrown away, what about his wife and children?
It seems that I have to have a good talk with him next time. He is too dangerous. I suggest he stay in the country from now on.

"Xiaoling..." Wu Shengli wanted to tell him something, but he found that Zhao Ling was nowhere to be seen. It seemed that she had gone to pick someone up.

Mingzhou Group's express plane stopped at the Capital Airport. Over the years, Mingzhou Group's express business has developed rapidly and has established express business with many countries. Qin Tao took Lao Ba's express plane and returned directly to China. He squeezed behind the cab. Although the space was small, it was a unique experience.

"Boss Qin, you will definitely be criticized by Leader Wu when you come back this time." Xu Zhengyang whispered, "Have you thought about what to say? I have already written my report, but I don't know if a few sentences make sense. Can you take a look?"

Xu Zhengyang was the person arranged by Wu Shengli to be Qin Tao's bodyguard and secretary. At the same time, he was also responsible for supervising Qin Tao. Qin Tao had to write reports on his every move. However, over the years, their relationship has become better and better. This time, Xu Zhengyang even planned to violate discipline and show Qin Tao the report he wrote first so that Qin Tao could be mentally prepared.

"No need. I went abroad for my country. How dare Lao Wu scold me?" Qin Tao had a proud look on his face and spoke in a loud voice.

"Boss Qin..." Xu Zhengyang glanced at the cockpit in front of him. You don't seem to know? The two pilots in front of him both retired from the naval aviation force. They...

Qin Tao suddenly reacted, with embarrassment on his face.

When the plane landed on the runway, Qin Tao straightened his chest again and walked off the plane. There were already people waiting there with smiles on their faces.

"Brother Tao, are you back?"

"Ah."

"How was your fun?"

"Not bad. Wait, how can this be called playing? I'm out working." Qin Tao looked at Zhao Ling and said righteously, "This time I went out, I brought back tens of billions of dollars in business."

"Really? That's great news."

As they were talking, Zhao Ling had already taken Qin Tao to the car. She had driven the car here, but she wouldn't have to drive back. Xu Zhengyang was already sitting in the driver's seat, and both of them sat in the back seat.

"Brother Tao, what big business?"

"Vana has decided to order a batch of warships, including an amphibious assault ship."

Before Qin Tao even mentioned the order from the wealthy dog ​​owner, Zhao Ling exclaimed: "Vitalia wants to buy an amphibious assault ship? What are they going to do?"

An amphibious assault ship, such a big thing, is it something a mercenary organization like them should have?

"Brother Tao, did you agree to her request? That's too hasty. We don't have the power to directly agree to a warship of this level. We need to apply to our superiors. Things are different now. We must be cautious in everything we do."

"Ahem, okay, I was wrong. It wasn't Vitalia who wanted to buy it, it was Guinea. Their aircraft carrier burned down, and they were very unwilling to accept it, so they wanted to order another one. I recommended that they purchase the upgraded model."

Guinea?
For a customer who has already purchased a boat and burned it, the resistance to purchasing another one would be much smaller. However, Zhao Ling became even more confused. Who on earth wanted to buy it?
This kind of thing cannot be explained clearly in a few words, so Qin Tao explained this matter to Zhao Ling along the way.

After hearing these arrangements, Zhao Ling's brows furrowed more and more: "Brother Tao, Wana's growing strength is not necessarily a good thing. We can't just rely on friendship and provide Wana with overly advanced equipment. This..."

"No, I think this is good for us. After all, the situation we face is becoming more and more dangerous, and we also need strong allies." Qin Tao said: "The old Russians are unreliable. At critical moments, we still have to rely on our black brothers."

Qin Tao and Zhao Ling have different opinions. In Zhao Ling's eyes, she is afraid that Vana will become too powerful, which will cause major changes in the world pattern. But Qin Tao knows that a strong friend is beneficial to him. After all, the situation will become more and more dangerous. Although the Russians are very tough and will fight at the slightest disagreement, their strength is too weak. They are just a province in the east and will fail at the critical moment.

We need to find more friends. Friends in Africa are very important!
