"Actually, there are quite a few ships. You must know that we spent a lot of money to buy four destroyers from the Soviet Union..."

Just started, Griffin instantly understood.

Oh, you're talking about a Four King Kong that sells 17 tons of gold.

Although people in later generations often say that buying four decommissioned destroyers with 68 tons of gold is a loss-making business, this is not entirely the case.

These four destroyers did account for the bulk of the Lusi agreement. It was said that a ship was worth 17 tons of gold, but most of them were repaid with agricultural products and ores in the end.And not only four ships were bought, but also more than 100 other ships including submarines.

The Soviet side also provided a lot of drawing equipment and technical assistance, and even taught them hand in hand.If it was replaced by other naval powers, even Japan, it would not be so dedicated, would it?

Other countries will only treat this as a business, that is, the Soviet Union, adding a little friendship to the business.

In order to stimulate the domestic industry, the Soviet side also undertook the construction of many small ships, and the interest of the treaty is not high, so it is not a good thing in general.

These are all dividends brought after the Peninsula War.

Volume 277.7: [-] If there is one more cruiser, Danyang, is it still auspicious?

The strange thing about Griffin is that even without our participation, Maozi will make arrangements for you clearly. It seems unnecessary to find her, right?

Could it be that you are greedy for the bazooka on my wife?

Yes, after all, it is an 8-pack of long and thick clothes. In this era of booming rocket development, who can refuse the temptation of this instant bloom?

But if I really refit you according to this standard, not to mention that I want to break the neutral promise I made at the beginning, what about my Danyang, which is far away on the island?

No matter how auspicious she is, she can't escape the fire of so many rockets, right?

Unless this brat can dive.

Griffin tactfully raised her concerns. She was unwilling to intervene as a third party in the middle of the honeymoon between the two countries.But at the same time, he also said that if he just pointed out the country based on the blueprints, he could give some mature experience for future generations.

Even though the Type 07 destroyer is a World War II ship, it has long lagged behind in technology, but it is still an active ship here, and if they refuse, they can't force it.

Facts proved that she was thinking too much, and the other party hadn't finished speaking.At any rate, the Four King Kongs were originally Soviet ships, and they were refitted by Soviet ships. Griffin's construction company is an American company, so basic ideological precautions are still required.

The commander just started with them, the real key is yet to come.

"...Chongqing?" Soon she remembered the Goddess of Aurora, which once belonged to the British ship and was handed over as compensation.During the civil war, the ship headed north after the uprising, but unfortunately sank on Huludao due to serious damage.

Griffin admitted that he had indeed overlooked the ship.

Two years after the sinking, the Chongqing was refloated on the shore with the help of the Russians, but according to follow-up assessments, if you want to restore the armament, the cost is quite expensive, and it is better to spend money to rebuild one.

Even if the Soviet side is willing to offer a friendly price, the money is not as cost-effective as ordering one or two more boats.

For the Navy, which burns a lot of money, money has never been a problem, the problem is that there is no money.The country is waiting for a new one, so where can I find this huge sum of [-] million rubles?

According to the exchange rate at that time, it would be almost [-] million US dollars.

Just kidding, with this money, why not ask the United States to buy two Fletcher-class destroyers for fun?

Although it was diagnosed by an expert, the commander and others did not give up on this. The navy wanted to put this [-]-ton cruiser into service, so that it could crush the old enemy in terms of warship tonnage, but suffered from the lack of capacity in the country. Repair her shipyard and technology.

However, just as they were hesitating, Griffin arrived just in time.

According to the commander's intention, it's not that you want to talk to other people behind Big Brother's back, not to mention that this is not a breach of contract. The key is that you said that the ship is hopeless, so you can't stop us from asking other people, right?

After listening to the other party's description, Griffin finally showed a look of interest on his face.

First of all, I want to emphasize one point, this behavior undoubtedly wanders between relapse and non-relapse.If you just help refurbish the ship and replace it with new power without providing weapons and equipment, it's not impossible.

It's just that this ship will probably be replaced with Soviet artillery, but it has little to do with her.

Thinking on the bright side, maybe Maozi wouldn't mind bypassing them and finding someone else to earn the modification fee, but he also has to guard against the delay in paying the weapon, right?

The development of the construction company to the present is actually not just as boring as building houses on land. Griffin also established the company for another purpose of opening a shipyard.

After all, my sister-in-law at that time was facing a major crisis in the life of the ship, and the bad guys in the navy crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and they turned a blind eye to her.

After that, the success of the modification gave Griffin the idea of ​​recruiting the elite among them, to serve Zeppelin who belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D.So after several years of development, she has a professional team for maintaining ships.

At the time, she did promote the museum conversion project of two aircraft carriers, but it did not come for free.Just look at the current status of my sister-in-law and the company. These two are still working hard to receive customers, and use the ticket money to repay the life-saving grace at the beginning.

"It's just refitting. Our company does have the ability. But we are also limited to refitting the hull, and we don't bear all the disputes caused by refitting." She finally expressed her position. "But what can your country give me?"

It's true that I'm the guardian of the Rubik's Cube, but what we're talking about now isn't a deal?

Human affection is human affection, and business is business.Although the balance in her heart has already made the decision for her, in order not to let others see her partiality, at least on the surface she still has to adopt a business-like attitude that makes it difficult to grasp.

It is understandable that the attitude suddenly changed after entering the negotiation state, and the other party was also unambiguous, and directly asked her what conditions she would offer.

This really caught her off guard.

Everything that can be obtained here can be obtained through normal trade, and she didn't find anything particularly coveted and elusive.

As for money... She is not short of money, she has no interest in money at all.

But there is only one thing that cannot be ignored.

"I don't need your country to spend a penny for this modification, except for the workers' expenses," Griffin said. "But I only want one promise: When you encounter the Danyang ship in the future, please show mercy to her subordinates."

When Commander Xiao understood what these words meant, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

This condition is undoubtedly very generous, leaving aside the payment of wages, it is equivalent to doing this for nothing.After all, he is a transcendent who can be recognized by the original stone. He has his own pattern, but his personality is indeed strange, and he would plead for mercy for a ship.

"It's not that I cannot agree to this condition, but I must also be responsible for the lives of our soldiers." Suppressing the joy in his heart, the commander said in a deep voice. "The Danyang ship is currently the main force of the Taiwan Navy. If she fires an attack, do we have to show mercy?"

He wouldn't tell Griffin that the ship had problems every three days since it entered service, but it was more active in refueling and replenishing than anyone else.Anyway, this is also a threatening destroyer of the [-]-ton class.

"Please don't worry about this, she is very good." Griffin, who made the promise, showed an elder-like smile.

Afterwards, I will explain clearly to her, let her continue to maintain the current mentality of fishing, and avoid the Four King Kong in the future.Although doing this is a bit of a loss for a battleship, it is better than being beaten by the opposite group until it is broken and returned to port.

With the island's military technology, it may not be possible to repair it. Don't spend the rest of your life with war injuries. Why bother?

Seeing the weird smile on her face, the commander suddenly remembered some rumors about her.

Could it be that those rumors are true, there is something wrong with her mind?

Volume 277.8: [-] Four furkids stand side by side, and there is a big sister from a foreign country

Even though the navy may have special feelings for warships, this kind of obsessed look still makes normal people feel a little creepy.

Reminiscent of the other party's identity as a transcendent, maybe this is the price of using special abilities?

Thinking of this, the commander couldn't help but be thankful. Fortunately, there are no such extraordinary people in our country, and all efforts are made by thousands of ordinary people.

The two sides reached a preliminary opinion in this simple office, and then Griffin expressed his desire to visit the scene.

Through teleportation, they went to the port of Huludao to investigate whether there is a possibility of repairing the Chongqing.Seeing the severely damaged hull of the wind and sun, Griffin really felt that it would be better to rebuild one.

"Soviet experts didn't lie to you. There is really no need to repair this ship."

What is in front of us is not a ship, but a pair of broken copper and iron, similar to Danyang, whose deck is warped due to lack of maintenance in the final stage.But in the eyes of the country's navy that "needs to be broken even if it is broken", there is still room for rescue of this ship.

After all, this is the only cruiser in this country, and it is also the key to the existence of cruisers in this country.With it or without it, the difference is huge.

"But you are in luck. My construction company has a group of people who are best at restoring antiques."

This way of speaking first and then up is very American.

"However, you don't have a suitable shipyard here to do this." Griffin said again. "Now I've thought of a better solution."

I saw her slowly stretch out two fingers.

"There are two roads before you: one is to find a way to persuade the Soviets to agree to build a shipyard here, at least with the ability to repair ships over [-] tons; the other is on the other side of the sea, there is a man named The Japanese islands in Kyushu, where I have a few Japanese acquaintances, can directly pull the hulls there for refurbishment.”

That is to say, one is to ask Big Brother to arrange the shipyard, and she will provide the workers; the other is to ask the former enemy for help, and she will provide favors.

After all, Japan used to be a big naval power, with rich experience in shipbuilding, so it would be good to leave it to them, but... isn't this a good thing that only happens in a dream?What's more, it is now a US naval base, and its identity is too sensitive.Doing this by yourself will easily cause tension in Sino-Soviet relations. Isn't it also causing trouble for the country?

As for the former, it will take a lot of time just to negotiate, and then start to build a factory to build strength... This subsequent investment in capital and technology is a headache.

...but no matter how painful it is, we have to have it.

Shipyards and ships, I want them all.

Then the commander stated that he would ask his superiors for instructions and proceed at the same time.

But he is also very curious about how Griffin persuaded the Americans to allow warships from other countries to enter for maintenance.After all, the two countries have just fought one game.

"You don't have to worry about that, I have special means." She said.

It’s no secret if you really want to talk about it. Although several major shipyards in Japan were ordered to disband after the war, there are still many technical talents who choose flexible employment with the help of Mrs. Gao and Fu Dongbei.Together with their former colleagues and anti-war activists, they re-armed themselves with new ideas and secretly provided a lot of help to the mainland at that time.With this relationship, it is not a big problem to repair a ship.

What's more, it's just an unarmed ship, even if it is discovered, it can be interpreted as an ordinary civilian ship.

It's not like driving the boat directly into the Sasebo Naval Base to mock at the face, and gently touching Toba, the reaction of others will not be so violent.

Since the buyer insisted on repairing, he followed the normal process.

Once the negotiations between the two countries are successful and the venue is selected, they can directly contact Obadiah, who is in charge of the unlimited energy business locally.Since the construction company does not have a branch here, everything can only be temporarily replaced by the bald head.If the two parties cooperate happily in the future, there will be a regional person in charge of the Infinite Energy Construction Company here.

Later, accompanied by the commander, Griffin visited the naval base in Qingdao and saw the four main destroyers that had not been in service for a long time.They moored quietly in the port area, undulating comfortably on the gentle sea.

Look quickly, there are four primary school students who are sticking together and wearing Russian-style white silk maid outfits.

Griffin also boarded one of them alone and walked around the deck.

Unfortunately, through inspection, she did not find the existence of the ship spirit.

Like the Aurora moored in Leningrad, not all ships that end up as museums give birth to consciousness.

What's more, in this country where materialism is prevalent, species born of consciousness such as ship spirits are naturally rejected.

On the deck, facing the sea breeze, Griffin expressed his gratitude to the commander for inviting him to visit the navy.

For a shabby navy with a total coastline of more than [-] kilometers, but with only fishing boats and small boats, the pride and stubbornness it still shows in the face of powerful enemies makes people feel emotional.

"...As far back as I can remember, my motherland's navy was just like yours, with only a few offshore torpedo boats and patrol boats. We even served sailboats as training boats. At that time my parents said to me that the German There was once the glory of the world's second largest navy, and I can't imagine what kind of grand occasion it would be. Because there is no difference between now and then."

Substituting myself into the story I just made up is not to show off how brilliant my ancestors are, but to encourage and cheer up the other party.Anyway, it is impossible for Germany to have a military force now, but the treaty allows several major shipyards to build civilian ships for other countries to ensure technological change.As for Krupp Rheinland Volkswagen BMW, these have long been in the shape of foreign capital.

Neighboring countries expressed their emotional stability towards the changes in Germany, and praised that "as long as the Germans are not allowed to touch the tearing machine, they are still easy to get along with."

But whoever has a heart, who would want the military power of their country to collapse?

Anyway, Germany still has a joint fleet formed by neighboring countries. They only need to send people, but what about here?The people here have long understood that no one else can be relied on, and they can only rely on themselves.

Moreover, although China and Germany have some empathy, their national conditions cannot be compared at all.

"But my ancestors were richer anyway, and once owned the most advanced battleships in Europe." Griffin continued. "Your country has a long coastline, and it is destined that your navy will not remain silent forever. When a country with a coastline realizes the importance of the ocean, nothing can stop them from exploring the ocean."

Griffin showed them a bright future, and it's a future they want to see.

Volume 277.9: [-] Talk to Danyang

Returning to the foreign hotel, Griffin directly entered the sea of ​​consciousness and summoned Danyang who was wandering in the distance.

The little guy was very pleasantly surprised that he was suddenly blessed.

Even though she is just a destroyer, Danyang also understands that her survival is thanks to Griffin's help, which is different from Zeppelin who has already regarded her as a mother. The kind that don't stand a chance.

My mother can only give me spiritual comfort, and my mother gave me a second life.

In the darkness, a ball of light passed through the gap like a white horse, accompanied by an inaudible slamming brake, barely stopping in front of Griffin.

The extremely soft and elastic little white balls bouncing up and down, representing the roundness of the eyes.

【Mother, are you looking for me? 】

[There is indeed a little thing. 】Griffin stretched out his tentacles and stroked the little white ball's forehead.

[What's the matter?Is it a reward?Danyang listened to his mother and mother, and did not cause trouble for others. 】

For Danyang, a mother is a mother, and a mother is a mother, and the two are different.

Mom and mother... Griffin thought to himself, can Zeppelin and himself be called at the same time?I really thank this little guy for solving my confusion about what to call each other for my daughter and daughter for many years.

as long as you are happy.

Compared with being called Dad, I still prefer the current address, which makes it easier for people to misunderstand.

【Is such that.I just came to Asia recently to deal with some business, so I called you to come and have a look. ] Griffin smiled and showed his face, as if to let auntie see if you have grown up.

【Oh...】 Danyang let out a long oh sound, even though she didn't know what it meant.

[I heard that you have had many confrontations with the mainland navy recently?Don't worry, I'm not blaming you, you're doing great. 】In order to avoid the little guy's misunderstanding, Griffin used the most direct way to reassure the other party. [Even in the face of a battle that can crush the opponent, you have guaranteed the greatest restraint, which is worthy of encouragement. 】

According to the fishing experience taught by Griffin, every time Danyang goes to sea to perform missions, even if he encounters the mainland navy, he often controls the main body so that the crew cannot control it normally.Either the speed was slowed down on purpose, or the muzzle was aimed in other directions.
