Great warships

Chapter 1293: Finally Becoming the Person I Used to Hate
"They are still waiting and watching, but now even the islanders have made such a statement, so next, they should come to show their cards." Xu Zhengyang said: "The higher-ups estimate that it will be a matter of the near future."

"Well, I guess there won't be any peace for a few days." Qin Tao said, "When the time comes, they will definitely come to trouble our Mingzhou Group."

At this moment, Xu Zhengyang's phone vibrated several times. He opened it and had a complicated expression on his face: "Boss Qin, your guess is so accurate. It doesn't take a few days at all. It starts now."

A conference room in a building in the capital.

"Your Mingzhou Group has built a large number of warships, which has seriously affected the entire world! Therefore, we strongly protest against this!"

"Your Mingzhou Group has developed into a monopoly group. We demand that this group be split up! Such a monopoly will seriously disrupt the balance of the world!"

Facing their roars, Wu Shengli, who was sitting at the opposite negotiating table, laughed in his heart. Sure enough, protest was a means used by the weak. Now, these guys were protesting here at the top of their lungs, which just proved that they had no other means left.

"Everyone, our Mingzhou Group has not violated any international law, and has not engaged in any unfair competition. This group is our pride, so how come you have made it the culprit?" Here, the representative in charge of the negotiations, Mr. Wang, said, "Which of your Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Northrop Grumman is not a military giant? Why don't you say they are monopolies? Why don't you ask them to split up?"

"Mr. Wang, what's your attitude? The J-31A fighter jets of Mingzhou Group caused us huge losses. We didn't ask them for compensation, which was very respectful of us!"

"Our Mingzhou Group does business within the scope of international regulations and has not violated any international norms. How could we have caused you huge losses? If your aircraft carrier formation stayed honestly in its own territorial waters and did not act arrogantly, could it have been attacked?" At this moment, a voice was heard outside.

All the foreigners present were angry.

Qin Tao is here!

Over the years, they have been trying every possible way to find an opportunity to kill Qin Tao, but unfortunately they have never found one. Qin Tao basically does not go abroad, and every time he goes abroad, it is done in secret, and he is surrounded by a lot of security forces!

Now, they finally saw Qin Tao, but could they do anything?

They could only look at Qin Tao with fierce eyes. If looks could kill, Qin Tao would have died a thousand times by now!
"Boss Qin, this is a formal negotiation. You are just a company leader and are not qualified to participate in the negotiation!" The leader on the other side, Condor, raised his voice by several decibels: "Now, I hope you can get out!"

"You say you are protesting against our Mingzhou Group and want to break us up, but you also say we don't have any qualifications?" Qin Tao looked at these people: "Well, since you say I don't have the qualifications, then I have no choice but to leave. I just hope you don't regret it!"

What do you regret?
Condoli on the opposite side suddenly trembled all over.

The colonel only had two stealth aircraft, and they suffered such terrible losses. What if the colonel had dozens or even hundreds of them? Then they would have no chance of fighting.

They can only use mushroom bombs, but... does the colonel have sub-nuclear weapons?
"Mr. Qin, please stay. Since you are here, let's talk frankly." Condorcet said.

"You beg me to stay?"

Condory frowned again: "Boss Qin, we are not afraid of you, we just..."

"Of course you are not afraid of me, otherwise why would you look for me all over the world? Every time I go out, they stare at me and try to kill me." Qin Tao's face was full of sneer: "If you are not afraid of me, why do you ask us to split up our Mingzhou Group? You idiots, if we split it up, it will only become more companies like Mingzhou Group. Is it easier to deal with one of you or ten of you?"

Qin Tao called these guys idiots in public, but these guys just glared at him!

Things are changing!

Qin Tao can speak so much here passionately because he has enough confidence! Behind him, Mingzhou Group has developed into the world's number one military industry giant. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman cannot compare with Mingzhou Group!

From land to sky, from earth to space, Mingzhou Group is in control!
If Qin Tao wants, he can make the satellites in space fail at any time, unless the other party uses mushroom bombs, but do they dare?
"Since you are here, you must be looking for a solution." Qin Tao continued, "I came here to sit down and talk with you. I don't want to be remembered when I go abroad in the future. Let's talk openly and reach a condition that satisfies both parties and fill the world with love. Isn't that great?"

Condoli frowned: "What do you want to say?"

"As long as you agree with our situation here, we will help you punish the murderer. In fact, the colonel is not our friend at all. A lunatic like him should have been sent to a mental hospital long ago. We also hope that the world can return to peace again."

Condoli and the others came here just to protest against the Mingzhou Group, and they haven't gotten to the point yet. If they haven't mentioned it, Qin Tao will mention it to them!

Only when you have no other choice will you sit down at the negotiation table. If you have the ability to take action, who would be here to make trouble?

Now that we are already seated, let's talk.

Everyone should be calm and don't be impatient. We should talk sincerely for the sake of world peace.

"In other words, you admit that you were the one who ordered the colonel to do everything?" Condoli gritted his teeth.

"If it was really me who ordered it, then they could have obtained at least hundreds of stealth aircraft." Qin Tao said, "They only had two, and they never got any more after that. Don't throw dirty water on me."

"If it was really me who ordered it, then the colonel would definitely not only have those graphite bombs in his hands. He would definitely like some supersonic anti-ship missiles and hypersonic ballistic missiles."

"If it was really me who ordered it, then the colonel could have done it a few years later. By then, he would have two 100,000-ton super aircraft carriers in his hands. Would the Mediterranean still be your bathtub?"

Qin Tao said three ifs in a row and the other party stopped talking.

That’s right, these are all prerequisites. If Qin Tao really was the mastermind behind this, the current situation would have been devastated long ago!
Without Qin Tao's behind-the-scenes manipulation, they would have been beaten to this state. If Qin Tao had planned it carefully, wouldn't they all have been doomed?

Of course this won't work. After all, if we piss them off, we'll have to start a global mushroom-growing model, and no one will have any idea what's going on by then. In fact, as long as we can get some initial results, we don't need to worry about the middle and late stages. As long as we can contain them, that's enough.

The reason why the situation turned out like that in the end can only be that these guys on the opposite side are too lame. They are so used to being the world's police that they are now strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"If it was really you who did it, then we will make your Mingzhou Group disappear from the face of the earth!"

"Then we'll see if you can do it." Qin Tao said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that a month ago, our Starship Company conducted several intensive rocket launches. Do you... still know the Polaris from the late 1980s?"

Back then, the Americans deceived the Russians by saying they wanted to launch a space race and a Star Wars.

The Americans were just bluffing, but the Russians took it seriously. After some preparation, they successfully stuffed a 1-megawatt carbon dioxide laser weapon into the spacecraft, plus energy, orbital attitude adjustment system, etc. The entire device is 37 meters long, 4.1 meters in diameter, and weighs 80 tons. It was named Polar.

The Polaris was officially launched in 87, but because the upper stage did not ignite normally, this big guy was unable to enter space and burned and crashed in the atmosphere. If this big guy could succeed, the first space weapon in human history would have come out.

Now, Qin Tao suddenly said this, what does it mean?
Everyone's expression changed instantly: "Did you develop this kind of space laser weapon? Damn it, outer space should be used peacefully by humans!"

"Of course we want to use space peacefully. Our space laser weapons are only used to remove space junk. Some countries have been releasing space junk, and the low-Earth orbit is becoming more and more crowded. We can help clean it up and give us a clean space. Isn't that good?"

Is growing mushrooms a big deal? Not necessarily. We already have a way to combat it!

Over the years, the Mingzhou Group has been rapidly developing its space business. Under the leadership of Max, Starship Corporation has ambitiously launched an attack on Mars. So, are they really just trying to conquer space?

Of course! In order to better enter space, it is normal to remove some space debris. This requires space laser weapons to directly vaporize those tiny debris and make low-Earth orbit safer.

Of course, if you encounter some big guys flying by, you can clean them up easily.

In order to make themselves absolutely safe, the Americans have come up with a fucking system, and the East is also working hard on it, adding a grass in front.

However, neither the systems on the ground nor on the sea are the best.

The ground-based system can only intercept the missile during its falling phase, and even if it is intercepted, there may be pollution. The sea-based system can be expanded to mid-course interception and kill the target in outer space.

The best way to intercept is at the opponent's doorstep, and blow up the opponent's missile as soon as it takes off!
In this way, the other party will be afraid to plant mushrooms again, otherwise they will explode above their heads just after taking off. Even if it is not a nuclear bomb explosion, just falling down will cause large-scale radioactive pollution.

Of course, in addition to land launches, there are also sea and air launches, but land-based launches still account for a large share. Take the Americans as an example. There are 450 land-based launch silos and 14 Ohio-class sea-based launchers, each with 24 nuclear bombs. In this way, there are more land-based launchers than sea-based launchers.

Moreover, laser weapons in space can not only attack satellites in space, but also attack the ground from space at any time! Power stations, fuel depots, ammunition depots, etc. on the ground may become its targets.

As for making Mingzhou Group disappear from the earth, the other party may not be able to do it, but if Mingzhou Group wants to make the people in front of them disappear, it can be done in minutes.

"Impossible, you don't have that ability!" Condoli said, "You definitely don't have that ability!"

"Yes, of course we don't have this capability. Only NASA has it. By the way, has NASA figured out how to send astronauts into space in the future? Welcome aboard our starship. Our tickets are the cheapest."

At this point, Qin Tao paused and said, "Everyone, we seem to have gone off topic. By the way, don't threaten us randomly in the future. Saying that we should disappear from the earth is just like making threats before leaving a street fight. It is meaningless. The key point is whether it can be done. Okay, let's get to the point."

"Just now, we talked about restoring world peace. I, Qin Tao, am a pacifist. I hate war the most." Qin Tao said, "Our Mingzhou Group also provides advanced equipment to many countries for the sake of world peace. Just like you in the United States, everyone can hold a gun, so it's safe."

"Boss Qin, you are going off topic now!"

"Okay, I'm getting off topic." Qin Tao said, "Don't you guys dislike the colonel? We provide you with technical support, so you know where the colonel is, and then...then I don't need to say anything, right?"

The colonel used to play both sides and wanted to be a fence-sitter. He didn't know that this behavior would lead to his miserable death. No one would protect him, and even everyone wanted him to die.

Just like it is now.

Qin Tao could easily betray the colonel.

As long as the colonel is killed, the biggest enemy of these people will disappear!

"Boss Qin, why do you do this?"

"Because they have a large order from our Mingzhou Group, but we really don't want to hand over so many advanced weapons to a madman." Qin Tao said: "So, let's cooperate once?"

"You want to swallow up the colonel's hundreds of tons of gold? Sure enough, when you asked to settle the matter with gold, you thought of this!" Condoli sighed: "That colonel is really stupid. You actually used him to deal with us."

"Everyone, I repeat, we didn't do anything!" Qin Tao looked at the people present: "Of course, if you insist on thinking so, I have nothing to say. Anyway, you have long disliked me. But if you are not convinced, come and hit me. Do you have the ability to do so?"

Everyone on the opposite side was angry, gasping for breath and clenching their fists, but they couldn't get angry. If they really broke out, the colonel would get a large amount of weapons, and he would be able to dominate the entire Mediterranean!

They can no longer bear any more losses!

"So, Mr. Qin, you want to use the colonel's life in exchange for our acceptance of the structure here, right?" Condoli said.

"Yes, that's what I mean. You can't make the decision. Go back if you need to, and vote if you need to. We can wait, but I don't know if the colonel can. If he gets mad, no one knows what he will do."

Condoli frowned. This was a hint and a threat to them, but what could they do?
Oppose? Protest? None of this makes any sense!
Kang Duoli looked across and said, "Mr. Wang, can what Mr. Qin said represent your official attitude?"

"Of course not." Mr. Wang immediately shook his head.

The people on the other side were shocked again. What do you mean by this? You are playing a double act for us?
"Boss Qin's words can only represent the attitude of their Mingzhou Group, not our official attitude. However, if you make a relevant statement and acknowledge the situation here, we will be very happy." Elder Wang said: "Boss Qin just said something very good. The world needs peace and love."

The angry guys left one by one, looking as if they were humiliated.

Watching these guys leave, Mr. Wang was very emotional: "Many years ago, we were just like them. At that time, we hated them very much. Unexpectedly, we have become the people we hate now."

"Mr. Wang, this is just the beginning. If they really live the way we hate them, we should drive our warships to their coastline and fly our electronic reconnaissance aircraft to collect intelligence near them! We used to hate them, but from now on, we will like them very much."

Wu Shengli frowned in thought.

"Dad, what are you still worried about?"

"I always feel that they will not agree easily. If we deal with it like this now, I don't know what the consequences will be."

Will Qin Tao's stimulation cause those guys to rebel?

"Dad, there is one last trick."

"what?"

Just at this moment, Xu Zhengyang walked in.

"Dear leaders, President Qin, the latest news came from Wall Street in the United States. Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns have just declared bankruptcy!"

"Aren't these the top five banks on Wall Street? Three of them went bankrupt?" Mr. Wang was a little unbelievable.

"That's right, the financial crisis that will sweep the entire Western world is about to begin!" Qin Tao said.

Wu Shengli's expression changed drastically: "Taozi, the best way to divert the financial crisis is war!"

What kind of last resort is this? Are you trying to put out the fire or add fuel to the fire?
"Only we can help them get through the financial crisis safely." Qin Tao said: "If they want to resolve this crisis, they have to accept all our conditions!"

There is a financial crisis every ten years, which is entirely caused by the greed of capitalists.

This financial crisis is no exception. Its full name is the subprime mortgage crisis.

Subprime loans are subprime mortgage loans, which mainly refer to loans issued to people with low credit and low debt repayment ability.

This type of loan is very risky because these customers are likely to be unable to repay the loan, but it is also a high-yield industry.

If only banks were issuing loans and the houses could not be repaid, the banks would auction the houses, which would not be a big problem. The key is that in order to make money, American bankers packaged subprime loans into new financial products.

The principle is very complicated. To put it simply, there are two points. One is asset securitization, which turns the borrowed money into bonds and provides high enough returns to attract people to buy. In this way, the bank's risk is transferred. The other is more complicated, which is to package it into financial derivatives.

Subprime loans continued to be issued, and even homeless people with no income could get loans. As a result, the risk snowballed until 07, when HSBC's North American mortgage loan business suffered huge losses. This actually marked the beginning of the subprime mortgage crisis, but it was not yet known to the public.

Now, the subprime mortgage crisis has become extremely terrible!
