Chapter 359 Torpedo
"What I want to do is to send a large ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons to the bottom of the sea. Therefore, I need something powerful enough. I don't care what I use."
After hearing Gao Yang's words, Big Ivan shrugged and said: "Eight thousand tons is not very big, anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, mines, these three things are all fine."
Gao Yang leaned forward slightly and said: "That's it, I need to rush to the Antarctic Ocean. No matter whether the ship I want to kill is in the South Atlantic or the South Pacific, there are rough seas there, so small missile boats Neither the boats nor the torpedo boats can withstand the huge waves there, so I thought of water mines, which seemed easier to achieve."
Big Ivan said disapprovingly: "The price of mines is very cheap. You only need a civilian ship to lay mines. But this not only requires a lot of mines, but it may not be able to wait until your target. So how about a frigate? You have a lot of mines." A good choice, Riga-class frigate, with a displacement of 1,500 tons, equipped with three 100mm naval guns, and triple 533mm torpedo launchers. I have one. As long as you spend five million dollars, I guarantee that the ship can be driven and the torpedoes on it can Use, you only need the torpedo above, right.
Another option is the Nanuchka missile boat type II, with a displacement of 660 tons and equipped with six SS-N-9 missiles. It can kill an 8,000-ton civilian ship. Haha, it’s trivial. Although this missile boat was in 1992 Retired, but I also guarantee that the ship can move, the radar and electronic equipment can be used, and of course there are no problems with the missiles. As for the price, it only costs 8 million US dollars.
In terms of price, these two ships and the weapons they are equipped with are equivalent to selling scrap steel at ultra-low prices. You couldn't possibly find a better fit. A cheaper weapon system. "
Gao Yang shook his head. Said: "I need to go to the Antarctic Ocean and search for that ship. I won't say whether the two warships you mentioned have such a long endurance. The question is, how can I show off the two warships? How can we sail to the Antarctic Ocean without drawing attention to others? Besides, whether it’s missiles or torpedoes, none of us know how to use them.”
Big Ivan shrugged. Said: "You want to buy weapons, and I sell weapons and ensure that the weapons can be used. As for how to use them, that is your problem."
Gao Yang thought for a while and said: "What I want to do is to kill one of Japan's whaling ships, the Nisshin Maru. Of course, this is just the minimum goal. If possible, I hope to kill four of their entire fleet." ship. And the location of the whaling fleet is in the South Pacific. Now let's change our thinking. You provide me with a plan to kill Nisshin Maru and help me realize it, and I pay you. What do you think of this kind of cooperation? Sample?"
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang looked at his watch and said: "In addition, I hope this can be done quickly enough, because the whaling fleet will leave the waters where they are currently conducting whaling operations within a month at the earliest, and I must We have to arrive in Punta Arenas, Chile within forty-three hours, so we have to reach a consensus and reach a deal quickly enough.”
After hearing Gao Yang’s request,
Big Ivan fell into deep thought. After a while, Big Ivan got up and left, but he quickly took a globe and returned to the living room, placing the globe in front of the sofa.
Turning the globe from time to time, after looking at it for a while, Big Ivan suddenly said: "We cannot use water mines. It is too difficult to achieve directional attacks with water mines. Using missiles requires too many supporting facilities, which determines that we can only use warships. However, using warships to attack civilian ships is an act of war, and it is too easy to expose our identity. Obviously, using warships is not feasible.
It seems that we have the only choice left, torpedoes. We don’t need fire control radars, and we don’t need too many people. We only need the personnel of a torpedo boat. Moreover, we don’t need a warship. We can install the torpedo launcher on a ship. On a civilian ship, an ocean-going fishing vessel can place enough torpedoes without attracting attention. What do you think of this solution? "
Gao Yang nodded and said: "I just want results. As long as I get the results I want, no matter what I do, I think it is very feasible to use the method of adding torpedoes to offshore fishing boats, but I have a problem. Move the torpedoes to the fishing boats and then rush to the Antarctic." Yang, how long will it take?”
After thinking for a moment, Big Ivan said in a deep voice: "Ten days, ten days at most, and it may take even shorter time."
Gao Yang thought for a moment and said: "We have enough time, so how much does this plan cost? As far as I know, torpedoes are more expensive than missiles and also require a complex control system, so what type of torpedoes do you plan to use?" A torpedo? A wire-guided torpedo, a self-guided torpedo, or a composite-guided torpedo?”
Big Ivan smiled and said: "Are you kidding? What you are going to hit is a civilian ship, so such advanced torpedoes are used there. The direct torpedo is enough. It only takes one to send the Nisshin Maru to the bottom of the sea." The problem, and the most critical thing is that direct-sailing torpedoes do not require such equipment. Just install the torpedo tube on the fishing boat, find the target and launch it, and everything is done.”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know much about torpedoes, but as far as I know, no country seems to be using direct torpedoes now, right? Are you sure that the direct torpedoes found now can still be used?"
Big Ivan smiled and said: "No problem. During the Anglo-Armania Island War, the British nuclear submarine sank the Argentinian cruiser with a direct-sail torpedo, so you will definitely be able to find a direct-sail torpedo that can be used. You don't need to consider this."
Gao Yang immediately said: "Very good, that's it. How much do you think it will cost?"
Big Ivan immediately said: "A ship. I happen to know a suitable ship that can be used as a very good camouflage. The price is five million U.S. dollars. A 533mm large direct-sailing torpedo costs five hundred thousand U.S. dollars. This price is probably There will be fluctuations. In order to install torpedoes on fishing boats and go to sea as soon as possible, I may need to purchase torpedoes from different channels. If you want to sink four ships, then installing six torpedoes will cost three million US dollars. In addition, One million dollars is used to recruit people, and one million dollars is the cost of modification and transportation, so the cost should be ten million dollars."
Big Ivan's quotation was lower than Gao Yang's imagination. He thought the torpedoes alone would cost tens of millions. What you must know is that there are about thirty countries in the world that can manufacture missiles. But now there are countries that can independently develop and manufacture torpedoes. And as long as it can be made. Regardless of the quality of torpedoes, there are only eight countries.
Modern torpedoes are also much more expensive than missiles, but direct-sailing torpedoes will definitely be very cheap, because direct-sailing torpedoes have no guidance device and can only sail in a straight line after being fired from the launch tube, and they will hit enemy ships. If you hit it, forget it if you can't hit it. This type of torpedo was used during World War II, and was basically eliminated from the torpedo sequence of major powers when fighting against enemies. The only reason why it is still retained is because it is cheap, so it is reserved for attacking merchant ships.
After calculating his family's financial resources, Gao Yang felt that it was not a big pressure to come up with ten million dollars, so he smiled and said: "Very good, ten million dollars, this is a very good price."
Big Iwan shook his head repeatedly and said with a smile: "What are you thinking about? I said it before. This is just the cost price, Mr. Gongyang. If I give you all these things, then you can do the rest yourself. , then I can sell these things to you at cost price, but if you need me to operate them personally and send people to sink that fleet, it will cost at least 30 million US dollars."
Gao Yang frowned and said, "Thirty million? This price is too high."
Big Ivan said with a serious face: "It's not high at all. Please imagine what the consequences will be if a Japanese civilian ship is sunk? Have you not considered the subsequent political impact? ? This will be a big event that will shock the world. If there is not enough profit, sorry, I will never put myself in the storm that will inevitably arise."
Gao Yang knew that Big Ivan was right, and he also knew that it was impossible to accomplish this thing by himself. First of all, he had nowhere to recruit crew members, especially professional personnel who knew how to operate and use torpedoes. Even if he got a torpedo-equipped boat He doesn't know how to use an ocean-going fishing boat at all. Secondly, if he doesn't want to be wanted by the whole world, it's best to erase all traces, which he consciously cannot do at all, but if he leaves all these things to Big Ivan If you want to do it, you don’t have to worry about anything, you just need to prepare a large sum of money.
After Gao Yang pondered for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Can you reveal the specific action plan?"
"The target fleet is in the South Pacific, so the fishing boat I need is in South America. Within a short enough time, I will find the torpedo and install the torpedo tube on the fishing boat. Then, the fishing boat will set off directly in South America to The shortest voyage reaches the waters of the South Pacific.”
Gao Yang took a breath and said: "Mr. Big Ivan, I know that the price you quoted is not high. I think no one else in the world can do it by bringing together so many key factors in such a short period of time." , and compared with the risks of this matter, the price you gave is really a friendly price."
The high compliment made Big Ivan very happy. He said with a smile on his face: "You are right. No one can guarantee that you can complete your request within a week except me. I need to mobilize almost all the power in the world to do it." Cooperate to get this done.”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, I'm sorry, I know you have expressed great sincerity and goodwill, but I still have to bargain with you. It's not that I want to do this, but the most I can do is Twenty million is my limit, and that’s all I can get if I take out all my family assets.”
Big Ivan immediately waved his hand and made a pityful expression, but before he refused, Ulyanke, who had never spoken before, suddenly said: "Boss, the Ram is a very good friend, now I must Let me tell you the truth. The business between us and the Skull Gang in Somalia was facilitated by Ram Yang. It is not all my fault as I told you. Moreover, Ram has the ability to decide whether the Skeleton Gang will continue to cooperate with us. I I am very sure about this. You can also verify whether what I said is true. In addition, Ram is really a very interesting friend. I will give up my commission on this business. I hope you can complete this transaction with Ram. .”
Big Ivan stood up, walked back and forth for two steps, looked at Ulyanke and said with a serious face: "You know, in this kind of business, you have a 20% commission on the profit, so What you said will cost you four million US dollars, and it will also cost me six million dollars in net profit, and this is the largest business you are likely to complete."
Ulyanke looked troubled and said: "I know, please, please don't remind me how much money I will lose, I won't be able to bear it."
Big Ivan laughed and said: "It's a miracle that the vampire Uriyanko is willing to lose four million to help his friends. You are a vampire who won't let go of a dollar."
Ulyanke still said with a painful look on his face: "Please, don't say it, don't say it anymore, damn it, before I change my mind, reach your agreement as soon as possible."
Big Iwan stretched out his hand to Gao Yang and said with a serious face: "Twenty million dollars, I will help you at least send the Nisshin Pill to the bottom of the sea, deal done!"
Gao Yang was overjoyed, held Big Ivan's hand, and said: "Deal! Thank you, thank you very much for agreeing, Mr. Big Ivan."
Big Ivan laughed again and said to Gao Yang: "Uli Yangke is willing to give up four million US dollars. To me, the loss of six million US dollars in profit seems to be a matter of course, okay, For Ulyanke’s sake, I agreed. As you know, this is an extremely rare concession from me, so you should thank Ulyanke.”
Ulyanke helplessly covered his face with his hands and said: "Don't mention four million, really, don't mention this word again." (To be continued...)
