Well, although it has now become an exhibition hall, it is known as the most homely aircraft carrier in the world.

But it was indeed an aircraft carrier, and it was also the first aircraft carrier in Southeast Asia and even East Asia after World War II.

The Chakri Naruebet aircraft carrier - its full load displacement is only 11450 tons, which is similar to the Sejong the Great destroyer in South Korea.

Not only that, the power plant of that cute little aircraft carrier is also very simple, just two LM-2 gas turbines.

What does this mean? It is roughly equivalent to half the power of a Burke-class destroyer, and at most it can only carry eight aircraft.

Today it can only carry some helicopters and rarely goes out to sea. It has become a tourist attraction in Sattahip Port.

It is also a special case among the active aircraft carriers in the world...

However, in contrast, in order to avoid being criticized for only eating and not working, this aircraft carrier actually has another function, which is rapid rescue.

Since Siam itself is located in a tropical area with dense rainforests, its transportation facilities are not very complete.

In addition to the large forest coverage and complex terrain, the area is also frequently visited by typhoons, so a rescue platform is needed at this time.

A few years ago, there was a severe flood in southern Siam. At this time, this aircraft carrier was quickly dispatched, accommodating hundreds of people on the aircraft carrier and transporting a large amount of supplies.

But later Siam came to its senses and thought, is it possible to use an aircraft carrier as a rescue ship? Why not just buy a rescue ship?

So a few years ago, Siam officially introduced a 071 amphibious dock ship.

Compared with the cute little aircraft carrier, this ship has a larger displacement of more than 20,000 tons, so it can transport more cargo.

At the same time, the ship also has a very spacious dock that can carry four hovercraft, making its movements more flexible and rapid.

It can also carry 4-6 ship-borne helicopters - what a coincidence! The Royal Navy of Siam has exactly 6 S-70B "Sea Hawk" ship-borne helicopters!

So let's use 071 as an aircraft carrier! Siam happily decided its purpose, regardless of what it was designed for in its hometown.

Rumlow put his hands on his hips and thought for a long time, called Alia to ask for her opinion, and then gave the broker on the other side a little extra money.

"Drive 071 out!"

"Are you crazy? Or do you think I'm crazy? That's a ship that's still on sea trials. How can I possibly drive it out?"

"Then send out the aircraft carrier. Pattani is a good place to go. Give me a Marine battalion as well."

"...Are you really going to rob someone, rather than planning to raid someone's lair?"

"Of course, we won't make it difficult for you. At most you can file a report saying it's an exercise. As a division commander, can't you make the decision?"

The man on the other side covered his head and thought for a long time, unable to make a decision. He was not afraid of dealing with the Free Army in Pattani, but he was afraid that Alia would lose control.

You send two broken ships to wave flags and shout slogans, and then you engage in dog-eat-dog fighting in the gray area, which is fine, but you send out an aircraft carrier to use as a transport ship?

"Add five more LCM-6 class landing craft. What do you call them here? L4 class?"

"Are you really planning to rob people? Landing craft - are you sure you're not going to fight a beach landing?"

"We are in a hurry, so we must directly control the port." Rumlow drew a line on the map: "Through the entire Pattani Port, it happens to be the laboratory area where they are located, so it is quite suitable, what do you think?"

"The Pattani Port is divided among three forces: the official army, the free army, and the coalition of those rats. Are you going to go to war with all three at once?"

"I've already said that we're just borrowing a road. If you really want to, we can at most borrow a few more people from the Freedom Army."

"I don't think you can do it. Yes, I know your boss is rich, but I can't give you a battalion to fight a landing battle."

"You're overthinking it. All you need to do is help us impose martial law on the port and wait for 12 hours."

"Who are you going to find to carry out the mission?"

"Don't worry about that." Rumlow looked at the account balance: "The boss played a big trick this time."

……

……

“They said they were coming to pick us up.”

The NZZ laboratory located in Pattani area looks more like a messy place like a black intermediary or outsourced telephone customer service at this time.

A skinny young girl looked up from behind the screen with a hint of disbelief.

"Who?"

"My friend."

"Who is that friend of yours?"

"It's... um, a boss who came here to do business, his name is Alia."

Sister Jing was very generous in disclosing her sister's information, especially stating that her sister was a serious businessman.

In his opinion, although the Ai Group did not have much ability, it was not enough to hire a few geniuses - just name a price, my sister has money!

But he didn't expect that this time it would cost such a huge price, and all he wanted was this team and the technical accumulation they had.

In the eyes of Sister Jing and even these people themselves, the 5G polarization code coding theory is just the same idea.

Even if the accumulated technology is developed into actual technology and standards in the future, what good will it do?

But in Alia's view, this is clearly an opportunity to overtake others in information technology - unless mobile phones or communication equipment around the world directly bypass the communication patents in this area and make leapfrog progress, they will have to pay her a patent usage fee, which is like a technology tax.

Alia could refuse the money, but she couldn't let others take advantage of her. If it was a domestic colleague, she could still accept it, but what if it was a foreign jackal?

Those guys who boast about technology protection and contract credit like to file patent lawsuits so much, not to protect anyone, but to destroy someone. It can only be said that when they think you have the strength to compete with them, then you'd better really have it.

The only thing Alia is thankful for now is that Siam’s short-sightedness has prevented this laboratory from having the opportunity to complete their follow-up research.

If you look at it from this perspective, she does look like a qualified businessman.

"Everyone, please think of a way to collect this month's protection fee."

The department manager drew everyone's attention back, and the technicians, who had been a little curious before, fell into silence again.

What can they do?

Pattani used to be a trading port, but was later occupied by wars and attacks. The people here have to face the chaos of another sunrise every day.

They thought about leaving, but they all had families, parents, husbands, wives and children, and they couldn't go too far.

When their boss was still around, he had some respect among people around him because he was willing to spend money, so they were able to have a decent life and job.

What a wonderful time for research back then - they even thought that in just a few years, they would be able to expand into the international arena, leave this chaotic land and go to a new place.

Their former boss had even bought new land in Bangkok to build a complete group headquarters for them, but he died in a plane crash.

Having lost financial support, these technical personnel were confused at first, but later anyone could come and harass or extort them.

In addition to the large equipment that the other party could not move, small computers, mobile phones and the like were all robbed. They even became free technical consultants for the scammers, and went from being world-class communication technology researchers to the kind of scoundrels who make automatic dialing calls to kill you and fraudulent calls.

The high-tech company that had more than 500 people in its heyday now has only more than 200 people left. More importantly, their situation is becoming increasingly difficult.

Just yesterday, a round of attacks took place on the streets of this street. The communications building where they were located had already lost its functionality and became a base for looting.

The armed forces on both sides of the block fired at each other across half the street, turning the entire long street into a sieve. More importantly, the chaotic situation would only give rise to more chaotic groups.

Compared to the old Freedom Army rules where one could pay for peace and even leave at will, this new group of people are simply doing all kinds of evil.

They burned, killed, looted, and treated the entire neighborhood as their own private property. Even if someone wanted to go out, they had to leave hostages here.

So it’s not that Sister Jing’s friend didn’t want to find him, but that she simply couldn’t leave.

If the laboratory itself was not of some use, or if these people seemed to have some technical skills, they would have been exploited long ago.

But even so, they still need to pay a large sum of so-called protection fees every month. If they disobey, they will be beaten and kicked, or even disappear from the face of the earth.

The bodies of two people who resisted them are still hanging at the entrance of the street. Their old mother cried until her eyes were blind, but no one could help them.

In this environment that is already tantamount to kidnapping, if a businessman suddenly says he is here to pick someone up, their interest will naturally only last for a few seconds.

Sister Jing’s friends also lowered their heads and stopped reading the happy news - the outside world is always beautiful, but there is too much misery in the world.

"Ding-ling-ling——"

The phone rang, and the direct disciple of a world-class information and communication expert, the apprentice of Dr. Alekan, and now a fraud telephone customer service representative, picked up the phone reluctantly.

She didn't want to lie, so she had no "performance" to speak of.

But in the past, everyone turned a blind eye to such things and did not put in any effort.

Now we have to deal with the protection fee demands made by those vicious guys. If we can't raise the money, we will all be in trouble.

"My name is Alia, are you Miss Nonglan?"

"Ah...it's me, Alia—are you the one, the one who is Ailijing's sister?"

"Yes, it's me. It's like this. I want to buy your research team and all existing theoretical technology patents, including the research output in the future."

The young lady thought about it and felt a little sad.

It had been more than a year since she had such a formal discussion with anyone about respect for knowledge, technology and the law.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ai, I don't think we can talk about this."

"Is it because of internal team issues? If possible, please ask the person in charge to give me a price. I am very sincere."

"No, no, no, that's not the case. It's because we really don't have the research environment here, and we don't have any follow-up research plans. We can't actually be considered the laboratory we used to be. We are now... um... we are no longer doing that business."

"Are you satisfied with your new job?"

“……” The young lady sniffed and covered her mouth, wanting to cry out.

"Okay, I can tell you're not very satisfied. If possible, I would like to invite your entire lab team to resign from your current company. I will be responsible for all liquidated damages. NZZ Communications Lab once had a cooperative relationship with one of my labs. I am very optimistic about you. Please give me a reply within one hour."

"I can't do that, Miss Ai. I'm glad to have your invitation, but you don't understand the situation here."

"I understand. What I need now is the personal consent of you technicians."

Alia gave her an email address and said that she had already drafted the contract and sent it to the email.

"I carry sincerity in one hand and an olive branch in the other. The sincerity is for you, and the olive branch is for those who make you uneasy. Please believe me this time."

The call was hung up. The young lady wiped her tears, opened the mailbox, and saw the contract given by Alia.

The conditions are very, very favorable, and are even preferential treatment given to technical research teams by international first-tier companies.

But in addition to those conditions, what is more important is that Alia gave three special treatments.

First, prepare new research institutes for them, either in Bangkok or in the country.

Second, we provide migration services for everyone’s original family. After they have worked for three years, we can help them apply for immigration.

Third, ensure their absolute personal safety - starting from 48 hours later.

As for why it starts after forty-eight hours, the young lady didn't quite understand, but that didn't stop her from showing the contract to everyone.

Colleagues were curious, and then curiosity turned to disappointment and bitterness.

If it were peacetime, they would only need to sign their names and leave smoothly to pursue a technological future and a better life.

But now, what is the use of signature?

The supervisor sighed and handed the contract back: "Tell Miss Ai that I feel her sincerity. If it was three years ago, I would consider changing jobs. A year ago, I would not hesitate to bring you to join her. Even two months ago, I would give her all these technologies, including the relevant data."

But that’s no longer possible—because they have lost even their personal freedom, let alone these data and equipment.

Now the entire neighborhood has become the property of the gang, and they have lost control even over their own lives, let alone anything else.

The young lady sent all these replies to Alia's email address truthfully. A moment later, a new email arrived in the mailbox.

There was only one sentence on the email:

"Wait for me, I'll pick you up, I'm on the way, believe that good things are about to happen."

……

……

"Boss, please let me introduce you, this is Colonel Tolov."

"Hello, Boss, it's a pleasure to be of service to you. Your generosity is inspiring."

Colonel Tolov has a big beard and looks like a typical Slav.

He has a team of 300 people who are extremely professional and able to recruit as many people as he wants as long as the money is enough.

How professional is it?

Special operations forces, communications experts, tactical advisers, paratroopers, special police, pilots, artillery, commando officers and even grassroots instructors.

They have everything they want - it's hard to tell the background of these guys, but Alia thinks they look familiar.

They are said to have branches in more than a dozen countries and even have more than twenty remote sensing satellites of their own.
