Chapter 623 Peace 07 Maritime Joint Military Exercise (Updated)

Chapter 623 Peace-07 Joint Maritime Military Exercise (Additional Update)

After staying one night at Boris's manor, Qin Tao finally left the next morning. Vitalia reluctantly waved goodbye to Qin Tao and agreed to meet again in the East.

Driving the car provided by the embassy, ​​Xu Zhengyang asked curiously: "Mr. Qin, wouldn't it be more beneficial for us if Boris stays in the energy field of Damao? Especially now, the natural gas pipeline agreement has not been completed yet. ”

"Yes, I also hope that he can continue to stay in the energy field, but if he continues to stay there, he will most likely receive a box lunch."

Receive a lunch box? What does it mean? It took Xu Zhengyang a few seconds to react.

"So, as an old friend who has been with us for many years, you want to protect Boris?"

Qin Tao smiled: "Guess, what are the other benefits?"

Xu Zhengyang was multitasking, driving and thinking at the same time. After a few seconds, he summed it up: "With the boss's style of doing things, he will definitely have an informant around Boris. Therefore, these suggestions you gave Boris, It will probably be heard by the boss. If Boris does what you say, then the boss will be grateful."

The boss wants to get rid of people like Boris, but it is not good to do it too obviously. The conflicts between them will become more and more intensified until they are eventually irreconcilable. Now, before reaching that level, Qin Tao helped solve the problem. To use an idiom, this is called releasing military power over a glass of wine. Qin Tao is equivalent to helping the boss solve the problem.

Some time ago, the boss's attitude towards Qin Tao was not very good. Now, by taking such actions again and again, Qin Tao will be recognized by the boss. It will be easier to move around Damao in the future.

Qin Tao did not answer Xu Zhengyang's words, but watched the scenery outside the window change. Unconsciously, the man who used the hero medal in exchange for money appeared in front of him again.

This country is in a state of half-death, but this state is perfect for ourselves!

Just when Qin Tao lamented the impermanence of the world, other people who were almost forgotten were still struggling.

On the huge ice, a group of people were lying on it, looking at the sky, their eyes full of deathly ashes.

They no longer have the strength to move around, and their food has been eaten. At this time, they are just waiting to die.

"Everyone, hold on, hold on, the group will definitely come to save us!" Cui Wenji was still encouraging, but these words were more like what he said to himself.

"Save? We should have been saved long ago. We have been abandoned by the group. After all, when we die, we only need to give some pensions, which is much less than the cost of rescue." A crew member said weakly: "We They are a bunch of abandoned wretches.”

"No, no, don't think like this, the group will never give up on us!" Cui Wenji continued to encourage everyone.

Suddenly, the big guy felt the ice he was lying on shake.

"What's going on?"

"The ice we're lying on is going to crack!"

"Get out of here!"

"What's the use of leaving? Leaving is also death, so we might as well die here."

At this moment, the vibration came again.

Suddenly, Cui Wenji thought of something and became excited: "Is the icebreaker coming to rescue us?"

icebreaker?

Everyone suddenly regained their strength and looked up into the distance. Sure enough, a big guy seemed to appear on the ice in the distance.

An icebreaker, indeed an icebreaker!

They got excited, took steps, and headed towards the icebreaker.

The crew members on the DAON ran the farthest, and they were also the first to be rescued!

When they boarded the Arctic icebreaker, they saw Zheng Zhenze.

"You have all worked hard. The group will not forget you. The group spent a huge amount of money and reached an agreement with Da Mao to ask them to come to the rescue." Zheng Zhenze said: "Next, you will rest on the icebreaker, and I will take you back with the ship. Home."

Two days later, the Arctic icebreaker finally arrived at the site of the accident. The natural gas on the damaged DAON had almost leaked. The surrounding natural gas concentration was just below the critical point. They carefully towed several other natural gas ships. After leaving the place where the accident occurred, it was more than ten kilometers before I dared to start my engine.

Everyone is full of emotions about the aftermath of the disaster.

The news spread back to the South Kimchi Country, and the media who were concerned about the matter immediately reported it, and the Sanxing Group once again won praise from the people.

However, none of the top executives of the Three Banks Group could be happy because they saw a terrible crisis in their eyes.

"A large amount of capital is pouring into our country. The stock price of our Three Banks Group is soaring like a rocket." In the group's conference room, a senior executive spoke worriedly: "Now, they are shorting us. stock market, and when they leave, we will have a terrible crisis.”

No one will be happy when the stock price rises, because this is not normal, and the operation method is exactly the same as when it was in Siam. It seems to be prosperous now, but it is just a flashback before death.

"Our original plan is not enough to save the market, so we need to withdraw all the investments in the Mao financial market." Another person said: "Once foreign capital is withdrawn from our market, we will put enough funds in to maintain our stock market. We must win this battle."

"Everyone, you are too timid! For us, this is a challenge and an opportunity." The third executive stood up: "Now, the yield of treasury bonds in Mao is very high, and the three-month return is 30%. For us, this is a huge profit. We must not withdraw it like this. Moreover, think about it, if international speculators enter the Mao financial market to speculate, the yield of these treasury bonds will be hyped up, so that we can make more money! This is enough to make up for our losses! So, I think, at this time, we not only cannot withdraw funds, but also continue to inject funds!"

This is playing with fire!

Mr. Li looked at the person who was speaking. He was Sun Chenghuan, the head of Sanhang Securities under Sanhang Group: "What if it goes wrong?"

"It won't go wrong, because I already know a person from Wall Street, he..."

"What did you say?" Everyone's breathing became rapid.

Everyone knows that it was people from Wall Street who created the Southeast Asian financial crisis. Now, Sun Chenghuan actually knows such a person?

"Do you know that Soros?" Mr. Li also became nervous.

As the president of Sanhang Group, Mr. Li certainly maintained a certain connection with Wall Street. Mr. Li also knew Soros, but when huge funds began to sweep Siam, Soros disappeared. No one knew where he was, only that he was directing behind the scenes.

In addition to Soros, other financial giants on Wall Street also disappeared!

If it weren't for this, Mr. Li really wanted to ask, you guys just set up a few small countries, why do you want to calculate our South Kimchi country?

"Of course I don't know, I just contacted one of their traders, and that trader will secretly send me a message to tell me the next move." Sun Chenghuan said.

"Can his information be confirmed? Such traders should be prohibited from contacting the outside world. How did you get in touch with him?"

"When this trader was at his lowest point, I provided him with a sum of money. With this money, he didn't jump off the building. After that, I kept in touch with him. Recently, he became a trader, and a big trader. His subordinates control dozens of traders. He has the power to contact the outside world."

"Will they attack Damao next?" Mr. Li continued to ask.

"Yes, he told me clearly that Russia is their next target. After all, Russia's market is the most unhealthy, and no one wants to see a living Russia. After this attack, Russia's economy will collapse completely, and American politicians are willing to see this happen."

"Then why do they want to attack our South Kimchi country?"

"Because the financial market will have a chain reaction." Sun Chenghuan continued: "They are pushing up our stocks and maliciously shorting our stock market. When the next fatal blow comes, we will have a financial crisis. In this way, we will definitely need to mobilize funds from abroad. In this way, we need to withdraw a large amount of funds from Russia. It will be a huge blow to Russia."

Everyone nodded.

The reasons are all explained, so should we do it or not? This thing is a bit like gambling!

"Mr. Li, if we don't come up with a surprise move, then we have to sacrifice the car to save the driver. We have already lost the shares of Chongming Island Shipyard. We can't lose more shares. Now we do this, not only can we safely survive the economic crisis, but also continue to make a lot of money! For us, this is a challenge and an opportunity!"

"Okay, then we follow!" Mr. Li finally nodded.

He didn't want to lose too much. Mingzhou Group stood firm in this crisis and even grew stronger. Their Sanxing Group must not fall behind! Taking this opportunity, maybe they can become bigger and stronger?

He didn't know that he fell into a trap from the beginning, and now he is getting deeper and deeper. The last step is what he regretted.

In the Pearl of the Orient, the Gateway Building, a pretty figure stood in front of the French window, overlooking the fireworks and seascape of Victoria Harbor.

"The head of Sanxing Securities has decided to follow our footsteps!" A man in a suit walked up to him and whispered.

"Okay, let's take the Sanxing Group to hell!" The woman said, "After this, we will disappear, and everyone will get countless wealth."

"Yes!"

The woman continued to look at the sea view, muttering to herself, "Brother, I have grown up and can help you do a lot of things."

Where is my brother? Where is he now?

Qin Tao is of course in the Far East, at the base of the Pacific Fleet. At this time, there is not only him, but also Wu Shengli who came specially.

For the navy, this is also a rare opportunity. From the near-shore navy to the ocean-going navy, from now on, we have to go out more!

"What kind of warships do you think our navy should dispatch?" Wu Shengli was thinking about these things all the way. When he saw Qin Tao at the airport, he immediately chatted with Qin Tao.

The first question, of course, is the type of warship to be dispatched! The most advanced Aegis warship in the country has not been launched yet, otherwise it must be the Aegis warship, and the other warships are nothing special.

"Dad, since we are going to do exercises, we must send out our warship with the largest displacement." Qin Tao said.

The largest displacement?

Now, the largest displacement warship in the country is the Glory-class cruiser. After it was purchased, it was improved and became No. 138. When it showed off its muscles last year, it was not very complete, but now it has a complete combat status. It would be nice to bring this warship to participate in the exercise, so that Russia can see the results of our modification!

The Glory-class has the largest displacement, and the two modern-class ships purchased are slightly lower than it, namely No. 136 and No. 137. For this kind of joint exercise at sea, two or three warships are enough, one of 10,000 tons and two of 8,000 tons. The scene must be very solemn!

In other words, Qin Tao suggested sending a lot of warships made by the Russians to participate in the exercise?

"You don't want to expose our strength?" Wu Shengli immediately understood something.

"The Russians invited us to participate in the joint maritime exercise. It is an opportunity and a challenge. If we get too close to Russia, many people will be stimulated, so we must keep a low profile." Qin Tao said: "Sending a lot of warships made by the Russians will make the outside world think that we are just so-so, and we really don't have anything to show for it."

The first professional air defense destroyer is still under construction. It will be launched soon, and it will take some time for it to be equipped and put into service. In addition to this kind of warship, the only ones that can be shown in China are the two 051Cs.

As for No. 112 and No. 113, they have become useless and have been circling in the Bohai Bay.

Wu Shengli nodded: "Okay, then we'll do as you say."

"Welcome, welcome to our Pacific Fleet." Nicholas also came over and smiled and stretched out his hand to Wu Shengli: "Boss Qin and I are good friends, and you are Boss Qin's father-in-law. We are all family. If there is anything, we will discuss it together."

"Nikola, thank you for taking care of my son-in-law over the years." Wu Shengli also followed the politeness.

"Leader Wu, let's go to our dock now and admire our fleet. At present, the flagship of our fleet is the Varyag cruiser. We attach great importance to this exercise and hope that it can serve as the flagship of our exercise formation."

Hearing Nicholas' words, Qin Tao was very emotional.

In the most glorious 1980s, the Pacific Fleet of Russia was very powerful. The Red Navy at its peak was very domineering. The Pacific Fleet had two Kiev-class aircraft carriers and a Kirov-class cruiser. The displacement of these three warships alone exceeded 100,000 tons.

What about now?

These warships have been retired. Even if the warships are still intact, Russia has no funds to maintain them. Two aircraft carriers, one was dismantled, and the other became India's Chaori Wang. As for the Kirov-class cruiser, it was so proud when it went to the Far East, but now it is lying on the dock, waiting for its final fate.

The flagship of Russia's Pacific Fleet is only the Glorious class with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons!

In Russia's navy, the name of Varyag has been used many times, which is enough to show the importance of this name.

The name Varyag comes from the Eastern Slavs' name for the Nordic pirates from Sweden, that is, the Varangians. This nation was once extremely fierce, and the government ruled Eastern Europe and established the Rurik Dynasty, the first feudal dynasty in Russia's history. With the development of history, the Varangians were gradually assimilated and became a branch of the Russian nation. The name Varyag was also passed down by Russia.

The first warship named after Varyag is a sail steam hybrid three-masted light cruiser. I won't talk about the other ones. The fourth one is an aircraft carrier, and the fifth one is a glorious class cruiser.

A group of people came to the dock and looked at the rusty Varyag.

This missile cruiser is relatively new. It is the third ship of the 1164-type missile cruiser built by the 61 Commune Member Shipyard in Nikolayev. It was started in 1979, launched in 1983, and officially entered service at the end of 1989, and was directly delivered to the Pacific Fleet.

At first, its name was Red Ukraine. In the year when the Varyag aircraft carrier was abandoned, the name of Red Ukraine was changed to Varyag, as if to commemorate that great era.

Since this warship was built later, it is somewhat different from the other Slava-class warships. For example, the missile launch tubes on both sides of it are stuffed with the latest P-1000 anti-ship missiles (3M70), and the latest MR-750 "Frigatebird-MA" radar is also used on its bridge.

Looking at the Varyag with peeling paint, Qin Tao suddenly had a special feeling in his heart. When the formal exercise is carried out, what will it look like when this rusty warship is put together with the brand new improved warship of the side?

Should the side be more low-key and only send out two Sovremenny-class warships?

"This warship has a displacement of 10,000 tons. In this era, it is the most powerful war machine. Qin, according to you, our warship should be regarded as an arsenal ship." Nicholas was still very proud at this time. .

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse! Look at the surrounding countries, and then look at the countries in Europe. Apart from aircraft carriers, which country has warships with a displacement of over 10,000 tons?

"Yes, this kind of warship is indeed very powerful." Wu Shengli nodded and followed Nicholas to the deck.

The characteristic of Laomaozi's deck is the brick-red anti-rust paint, but now, this anti-rust paint has turned into dark red. Years of wind, sun, and seawater erosion have made it lose its original color.

"By the way, you also have a warship of the same model. We are coming to the joint military exercise this time. Do you want this warship to come with you?"

Unexpectedly, Nicholas actually extended the invitation personally?

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, we can send warship No. 138 over, and cooperate with our No. 136 and No. 137, plus a supply ship to form the entire formation. The subject of our maritime exercise..."

"How about communication drills, formation air defense, sea shooting, joint maneuvers, joint anti-submarine and other subjects?" Nicholas said: "If necessary, our warship can also launch an anti-ship missile to join in the fun."

Wu Shengli frowned.

Qin Tao spoke: "Nicholas, I think these subjects are not good."

"Not good? Why?"

"Now, the world's pattern has changed. For a long time, there will not be a confrontation between two military powers. It will be more about maintaining maritime transportation lines and solving some emergencies. The name of our exercise is How about calling it Peace 97? We are not targeting any country, but are dealing with brand-new challenges. The content of our exercise can include joint closures, arrests, joint rescues and other subjects, aiming to demonstrate how both sides can jointly respond to maritime security threats. , the determination and ability to maintain international and regional peace and stability, and respond to various emergencies and peace tasks.”

Nicholas was a little curious: "Qin, we have never heard of what you said!"

The Mao Navy has always aimed at actual combat and conducted various military operations, but it has never conducted this type of training.

"Times have changed, Nicholas, have you ever watched "Unrestricted War"? If not, I can give you a few boxes, and you have to organize the officers and soldiers to learn from it. In the future, naval battles will not be fought like this. of."

""Unrestricted War"? Qin, can you give an example?"

"For example, our maritime fleet is suddenly hijacked by pirates. What should we do at this time?"

"That goes without saying, find the pirates' lair, and then use the Marine Corps to kill them all!"

"If you do this, you won't be afraid of crazy revenge from pirates? Will pirates rob your cargo ship when they see it in the future?"

"As long as all the pirates are eliminated, there will be no problem."

Qin Tao was a little speechless. I have to say that this approach is very stupid.

The fighting nation has always used fists to deal with pirates. Even in the later stages, the pirates kidnapped Da Mao's crew. When they found out, they were shocked and sent the people back. In the end, they were still taken away.

Kidnapping meat tickets is very difficult to succeed here in Da Mao, because Da Mao would rather accidentally injure the meat tickets than let the criminals go, which is completely different from the practices of other countries.

"However, it is good to learn more knowledge. Qin, please send the books and we will organize study." Nicholas quickly changed his mind.

If the joint exercise plan is too targeted, it will inevitably arouse the jealousy of others. Moreover, Dongfang does not cause trouble and will not take too obvious actions. Qin Tao's proposal is also quite good.
