Great warships

Chapter 261 Be ruthless
Worse still?
Nicholas looked at Qin Tao with a puzzled expression, so Qin Tao could only explain: "Isn't the Kyiv ship in a certain repair shop? As long as you bribe a worker inside, you can go in and order some repairs." Put the fire on, will Ah San still want the Kyiv that has been burned?"

Nicholas hesitated a little: "Isn't it a bit..."

If it is dealing with outsiders, Nicholas will certainly not be polite, but after all, is it a bit bad to use this method to deal with the Northern Fleet, the former brother unit?
Every year at the meeting, the big guys will gather together, drink at the same table, and even if the personnel is transferred in the future, he may even serve in the Northern Fleet.

Now, the plan proposed by Qin Tao is very feasible, but he always feels that he can't do it.

"Now, they are not your friends, but competitors. If they care about friendship, they shouldn't come to grab the business of the Pacific Fleet. You have paved the way. They eat what is ready-made. Why can't we Do fifteen?"

First grade?fifteen?
Nicholas didn't understand this description, Qin Tao could only shake his head helplessly: "It's up to you, anyway, I have figured out a way, how to choose is up to you, Nicholas, you guys The Pacific Fleet is quite broken, can you ask Zaitsev to accompany me for a walk? We can also go to the shipyard and coordinate with them on the project of transforming the aircraft carrier. I have a lot of ideas..."

Nikolai nodded: "Well, this is of course no problem. We do have a lot of broken things to deal with, and we need your advice to renovate the aircraft carrier. Zaitsev, take Qin around. By the way, let Su Keji Dar, please."

Although Nicholas was unwilling to do such things as sabotage and setting fire to warships, Qin Tao had already pointed out a way for him. As long as he compared the conditions of the two warships, Ah San would know which way to choose.

"The Kyiv is already a hulk. This warship was ready for repair in 87. It has not been repaired until now. It is estimated that it is already rusty, and many of the equipment inside are also broken." I saw it. After Sukjidal, Nicholas was a lot of slander.

"Yes, I think so too, but we have sent a new inspection team to the repair shop of the Northern Fleet." Sukjidal said, "You should also know that we are on the same boat. If there is a change in this project, I will also be in trouble, so I will fully support the modification of the Minsk."

3000 million has been spent. If it is replaced midway, then the money will be wasted. Of course, Sukjidal does not want to make extra troubles.

"By the way, if you can restart the Minsk and prove that the warship is intact, I think the domestic side will make a wise choice."

"Of course, we can start this warship at any time. Now, I will let them light it!" Nicholas said.

The Kyiv is probably too dilapidated to start, and their Minsk is not. This warship was recently decommissioned, and the remaining fuel in the warship can also start the warship again.

As long as you can move, you can compare the Kyiv number!
"We can also show it to reporters. It would be even better if people from the TV station could broadcast the live broadcast." Sukjidal said.

Nicholas shook his head: "No, we are a military base here, and we can't let reporters in casually. Our fleet has a dedicated photographer who can take pictures to prove that the performance of this warship is intact."

"Okay." Sukjidal compromised.

It takes seven or eight hours for the warship to re-ignite, and it takes seven or eight hours to burn the boiler. Therefore, Nikolai did not rush to take Sukjidar out directly, but continued to give him science, how unbearable the Kyiv is, and that warship is already broken. It is reused, and it will cost a lot of money to repair and so on.

Just talking about the excitement, suddenly, there was a loud noise outside.

boom!
The floor of the entire office was shaking. Nicholas tilted his body and sat back on the sofa, but the next moment, he quickly got up from the sofa and ran to the window.

From him, he could clearly see the situation on the other side of the port. He could only see a cloud of black smoke rising from the tail of a huge battleship. At this moment, his expression suddenly changed.

Minsk, the boiler exploded?
The fire brigade at the base arrived quickly, and some people ran onto the deck to conduct damage control quickly. However, since the warship has been decommissioned, the auxiliary engines have not been turned on. Therefore, there is no fire water in the damage control, so we can only stare blankly. , Watching the black smoke getting thicker and thicker.

It wasn't until nightfall that the fire was finally extinguished and the cause of the accident was investigated: three of the eight boilers inside exploded!The entire power cabin was blown up, and three sailors who were burning the boiler were killed and two were seriously injured.

"Damn it, although our warship has been decommissioned, it has just been decommissioned. It was fine before. Why did the boiler explode suddenly? There must be a problem!" Nicholas walked back and forth in his office, using Scratching his head with his own hand, he slammed his hand on the table hard.

"I'm sure it must have been done by those bastards from the Northern Fleet and the Neva Design Bureau! They destroyed our Minsk in order to compete with us. It's too much, they are too much, they did it, it's simply It is treason and crime!"

He remembered Qin Tao's words, set fire to the Kyiv, and the deal would be settled. At that time, he was not willing to do this. Now it seems that he is still too weak, he is still too naive, he won't do it , but competitors will do!
Neva Design Bureau designed this warship, so, how to destroy the boiler without anyone knowing, it was too easy for them, they provided technical support, and then some guy from the Northern Fleet sent someone here secretly Wreck it!
For a warship, if the boiler blows up, it is a big problem, which means that the repair cost will be unimaginably high, because the boiler is in the lower part of the rear of the warship. The deck needs to be cut!

The explosion of the boiler means that the Minsk is no longer worth refitting, and the next income of the Pacific Fleet will be ruined!

"Zaytsev!" Nikolai shouted loudly: "I want to give you an important task!"

"Zaitsev, Zaitsev!"

Nikolai shouted several times before realizing that Zaitsev took Qin Tao to investigate.

It was late at night when Qin Tao and Nicholas came back. They came back in a hurry from Da Kamen.

There are not many suitable shipyards in the Far East, and Great Kamen is the most suitable one.

In 1945, Moscow decided to build the 892 shipbuilding plant in the Great Kamen Bay. In 1954, the first assembly workshop was put into operation.

At the beginning, the factory was only used for ship repairs, both civilian ships and warships. In 1957, it began to repair diesel-electric submarines, and in 1962, it began to repair nuclear submarines.After decades of development, this shipyard has become a professional submarine repair shop, with two slipways, dry docks, floating docks, mooring berths and other facilities.

Although it doesn't seem very arrogant now, after the collapse of the Red Empire, it has developed into the largest shipyard in the Far East of Da Mao, which is the famous Red Star Shipyard.

Other shipyards are half dead, why can this Red Star Shipyard develop?

The reason is also very simple, because it is a submarine repair shop!An important expansion project of the submarine repair shop is to be able to dismantle submarines, especially nuclear submarines.Therefore, after the collapse of the Red Empire, the West provided a lot of funds to the Red Star Shipyard to dismantle Lao Maozi's nuclear submarine. It is definitely worth spending money on this.

Therefore, the Red Star Shipyard lived like this.

Now, to refit the aircraft carrier, the principle of proximity is the principle. The Red Star Shipyard is good. How could I have thought that I had a good drink with the factory manager over there. Before I had a drink, I heard that something happened here, so I hurried back.

Qin Tao looked at the angry Nicholas, and sighed: "Everything must be guarded against, and house thieves are hard to guard against. Now that things have happened, there is no other way. The boiler exploded, which is a big project. Ah San will definitely not want it now, I think, tow the Minsk to the Red Star Shipyard, dismantle the weapons and facilities inside, and then auction it off!"

When the Minsk was just decommissioned, it was actually intended to be sealed up and used later when the economy improved. However, Qin Tao fooled around and Nikolay was tempted. He reported to Moscow and agreed to refit and sell it to Ah San s plan.

The project has not been easy until now. Who would have thought that the Minsk still has not come to the end and regained its new life.

The boiler exploded, not to mention Ah San, even Lao Maozi himself would not want it. In order to reduce the loss, the only way is to sell it!

"We have to block the news, so that no one will know that the boiler has blown up." Qin Tao said, "I can join the auction, raise the price, and try to recover the loss of the Pacific Fleet."

auction?

Nicholas' face was ugly, he was always thinking about how to get revenge, but revenge is one aspect, how to recover the loss is more important.

Now, I can only follow what Qin Tao said.

Block messages.

The boiler is not fried, it is still good!This warship is still of great value, so it will attract some winners to take the bait, and thus fetch a sky-high price.

Therefore, it must be done as soon as possible!
"I will go to Moscow myself," said Nikolai.

Auction the Minsk, most of the funds will be used to improve the current situation of the Pacific Fleet, and a small part will be handed over to Moscow. This must be discussed in advance, and the auction also requires the consent of Moscow. Therefore, Nikolai must personally go for a trip.

Of course, he will definitely protest and expose some people's conspiracy, even if he has no evidence, he will still be addicted to it.

"Take advantage of the night to tow the Minsk to the Red Star Shipyard." Nikolai continued to give orders.

Before leaving, Nicholas sighed, and then patted Qin Tao on the shoulder: "Qin, thank you, you are my Nikolai, and the best friend of our Pacific Fleet."

"These are all things I should do." Qin Tao replied, "Since I have decided to bid, I will also prepare."

"Yeah." Nicholas looked indifferent, boarded a military plane, and flew directly to Moscow. In Qin Tao's heart, there was only emotion.

After the separation, it was normal for brothers to fight. The poorer they are, the easier it is to go to extremes. Qin Tao originally wanted to do all kinds of tricks, but before he could do it, someone did it for him.

Ah San has already invested 3000 million, and there is no turning back. He will definitely go to the Kyiv of the Northern Fleet. Nikolai is not a person who is willing to suffer, and the fire on the Kyiv will be safe.

In this way, Ah San can only wait for a few more years, and wait for the Gorshkov to blow up the boiler. At that time, Ah San should regret it again. If he knew that the last thing he wanted was a boiler, he would have to wait. It's better to ask for the Minsk directly.

For Qin Tao, he obtained a large number of drawings, earned 300 million US dollars, and trained the design team. Although he did not make a comprehensive layout, he was very lucky, with the right time, place and people, and gained a lot of benefits.

As for the buyers in Kimchi Country, if you want to win, just spend more money. When the time comes, you will have to have blueprints when you buy it back, and you have to come to Qin Tao!
Qin Tao came here and left Cong Ju and others in Dazhou Company to negotiate the remaining matters, sign the contract and so on. It is estimated that it is almost the same. After all, it is a small business of 1000 million. Now, just call those people over , jointly participate in the bidding.

Dazhou company?Hahaha, within a few years, Qin Tao will have to trick him into bankruptcy.

Qin Tao was thinking like this while making arrangements.

Da Mao decided to sell the Minsk, and the news quickly spread throughout the world.Immediately, many people were tempted.

In a few days, many steel factories and shipyards sent representatives to Vladivostok, and many people went to the Pacific Fleet to inquire about news every day, but they were all blocked.

Why didn't Ah San buy it?How is the Minsk going to be auctioned?Wait, for them, these are all confused.

Pu Douxuan stood at the gate of the Pacific Fleet, looking at the soldiers guarding there. Originally, he wanted to bribe them with a few banknotes, but the other party gave him a look, and Pu Doxuan had to come back. There is a camera there!

Nothing to do but wait.

However, just as he was about to go back, he saw a person walking out from the inside, followed by an officer. When he saw this person, Pu Douxuan's eyes lit up.

"President Qin, President Qin!"

He never dreamed that he would meet Qin Tao here!
"Boss Qin, can you freely enter and leave the fleet's headquarters?" Pu Douxuan's face was extremely excited, and he chattered, but found that Qin Tao couldn't understand.

"translate!"

A translator hurried up, and finally there was no barrier to language communication.

"Boss Qin, how did you get in?"

"Me? I've known you before."

"Boss Qin, what did you do in there?"

"Can I not answer this question?"

Pu Douxuan was a little embarrassed, but it was too impolite for him to ask questions like this, and it was all his fault for being too anxious.

"Boss Qin, you know about the Minsk, why doesn't Ah San want it?" Pu Douxuan asked.

"Well, how do I know?"

"Mr. Qin, you must be hungry after working hard for a long time, right? There is a nice restaurant nearby, where should we go?"

"Ok."

Entering the restaurant, Qin Tao was not polite, and ordered a table of all kinds of good things. Pu Douxuan's heart was bleeding, and he pretended to be calm. When Qin Tao had a good meal, he asked again.

"President Qin, is there something wrong with the Minsk?"

"What's the problem?" Qin Tao said, "Using our oriental words, this is called random flowers gradually becoming charming eyes."

How to translate is not Qin Tao's concern, anyway, Qin Tao is solid and very popular.

"how to say?"

"The situation of Da Mao's fleet is not good. The Northern Fleet saw that the Pacific Fleet was going to sell the Minsk, and immediately became anxious. After a lot of open and secret fighting, the business was snatched by the Northern Fleet. The warship purchased by Ah San was replaced by Kyiv. No. The Pacific Fleet is very angry, but there is no other way but to sell this warship and raise some money to live on.”

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao glanced around again, and then said in a low voice: "This kind of inside story, you can't go out and talk nonsense."

"Hmm. President Qin, are you also planning to bid for the Minsk?"

Qin Tao glanced at Pu Douxuan, then put down his knife and fork: "Let's stop here today, I'm full."

Back at the hotel, Pu Douxuan met Li Jinshan who was waiting for the news, and told the news he had heard.

"It seems that the Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group also wants to bid, and they have a network, but it doesn't matter, we have money, we can offer a higher price than them! As long as the warship has no problems Just do it."

Two days later, the auction finally started. The location was in the Pacific Fleet Headquarters. This was the first time many people walked in here. Although they couldn't wander around, their eyes could look around.

Li Jinshan took Pu Douxuan and a few entourages, and kept staring at the port. The huge warship was not the Minsk, but its sister ship, but seeing it still filled Li Jinshan with hope and fantasy.

When the Minsk is improved, it will become the most powerful warship of their Kimchi Navy!
"President Qin, what a coincidence." When entering the conference room of the headquarters, Li Jinshan saw Qin Tao and the others, and immediately went over to say hello.

"Well, Mr. Li, we are going to be competitors this time, and I hope you will show mercy."

"So are we."

After some pleasantries, everyone sat down.

Many companies from the United States and Europe have come. Li Jinshan knows more than a dozen companies, and the conference room is full.

Lao Maozi will not follow international conventions, they need to bring their own translators, and the common language here is Russian.

After everyone arrived, Nicholas walked up to the rostrum with a few of his subordinates, and the entire conference room fell silent immediately.

"Everyone, I'm very glad that you can come to our auction." Nicholas began to speak: "For the sake of world peace, we, Mao, have decided to reduce our own army, and the navy's warships are among them."

These words are so high-sounding, if it is not for the lack of money, Da Mao can auction off the equipment so easily?

"We have dismantled all the weapon systems on the Minsk." Nikolai continued, "What we are auctioning off is an empty shell. At the same time, we also request that the party that wins the bid take the warship away." Afterwards, it needs to be disassembled into scrap iron, and cannot be used for any other purpose, otherwise, it will be a violation of our agreement."

Empty shell, scrap metal?
Li Jinshan frowned, if it was scrap iron, who would want it?

The purpose of everyone coming here is probably not to dismantle scrap iron, right?

"Now, the bidding has officially started. Please bid actively." Nicholas went down, and a professional came up.

"Now, I announce that the starting price is 100 million US dollars! Every time the bidding price increases, it is more than 50 US dollars."

For a scrapped warship, what is sold is scrap iron. The Minsk with a displacement of 150 tons will not exceed 500 tons of scrap iron. The scrap steel bought by the shipyard costs [-] dollars a ton. The Minsk can only sell [-] million dollars worth of scrap steel. Ten thousand U.S. dollars.

Now, what miracle will this bidding site create?
"Five million U.S. dollars." The first voice uttered, startling everyone.

100 million US dollars, starting at 50, and it jumped directly to 500 million. Is this guy going to scare away all other bidding competitors?
With such doubts, everyone looked at the place where the voice shouted, and saw a young boy.

Could it be that he had an auditory hallucination?

Li Jinshan's face also changed instantly.

What can be disassembled into scrap iron and can't be used for other purposes is all fooled by the old man. If it is in his own hands, why don't he decide what to do?
Qin Tao directly quoted a price of 500 million yuan, just to scare away other competitors and get the Minsk directly.

Reminiscent of how Qin Tao once talked about how to refit the Minsk, and even sold the technology of the natural gas ship to his side in order to raise funds, it is easy to infer that the other side intends to buy this warship back and transform it into a modern aircraft carrier !
This shows what?
Except for the weapon system, this so-called empty shell is actually intact, and the power must be fine. This Qin Tao has a good relationship with Lao Maozi, so he must have found out all the inside information!

Reminiscent of what Pu Douxuan and himself reported, Li Jinshan can confirm these guesses.

So, what's next?
Next, the banknotes were used to smash down the Mingzhou Shipyard. The funds that the other party could come up with were nothing more than the technology transfer fee for natural gas ships, which was only 1000 million US dollars.

Dazhou Company can produce more!

"1000 million US dollars." Li Jinshan said.

1000 million?What the hell is a jump of 500 million?

The others were stunned. When the price was called out, they knew that they should be spectators in this bidding meeting.

If it is 500 million, it may still make money, but if it is 1000 million, it will definitely lose money!

However, when they saw the price that Li Jinshan yelled out, they could also understand. This person has a background in the country's navy, and he probably bought it for their navy. Anyway, the big guys are from the same camp, so they don't follow. Join in the fun.

"1000 million dollars a time!"

"$1000 million twice!"
