Warship of Great Power Chapter 854

"Liars, the people of Siam are all liars!" Li Mingyao returned to the Port Group, his face was full of anger: "They clearly promised me that they would not build the canal anymore. Who would have thought that they would still secretly plant explosives, Now the entire river has been blown through!"

"Yes, they are shameless enough, but, Li Mingyao, why didn't you discover their actions in advance? What have you been doing these days?" Gao Bowen, an executive of the group, said angrily: "Let you You have been staying in Siam for surveillance, what are you doing?"

  The burial of explosives was not done secretly. The construction was going on day and night. If Li Mingyao had been watching there every day, he should have discovered the clues and reported it quickly. It's a pity that he didn't. After he protested to Qiu Daxin, he stayed in the capital of Siam to eat, drink and have fun. This is a tourist city. He used public funds to enjoy performances everywhere, and even tasted different tastes. Every day is very happy Yes, it wasn't until I heard that the canal blasting project was continuing that I realized something was wrong. I wanted to go to Qiu Daxin to protest, but I was driven away, so I had to come back to report.

   "I, I have been monitoring, but I am a person, it is impossible to monitor all day, they are too hateful, deliberately avoid me." Li Mingyao said.

  Gao Bowen gave him a blank look, swallowed his mouth, and now is not discussing Li Mingyao's dereliction of duty, but what to do next.

"The entire canal has been blown up, but the satellite images we have obtained show that the project is not over yet." Gao Bowen said: "There are still many earthworks to be done. If we want to hinder the construction of this canal, then We can only find a way from this place.”

   "We contract the next construction task, and then do foreign work?" Others reacted.

   "Yes, otherwise, what else can we do?" Gao Bowen said: "Even if the Americans pass by, they can't make the Siamese give up the canal. They are only one step away from success, so how can they stop working under external pressure?"

  Why did the Americans go there earlier? If he came forward to exert pressure earlier, maybe the Siamese gave up? Now, the opening of the canal is just around the corner, who can stop it?

   This is the only way to go.

   "The Mingzhou Group is responsible for the construction on site. They have a good relationship with Siam, so why would they change construction units?"

"I have a solution!" Li Mingyao suddenly thought of something: "I know that the Siamese people have long been arguing for the fat meat of building the canal. Many people are greedy, but they have no way to intervene. Among them The one named Trasil is the most greedy, as long as we find him, claim that we can dig the canal at half the price of Mingzhou Group, and then give him a part of the rebate, he will definitely ask for this project for us!"

   "That's right, this is a way, but we still can't expose our port group, we need to find a third-party construction unit." Gao Bowen said.

  They are in competition with the canal of Siam. If they ran over to help build the canal, any fool would know what was going on. Therefore, they had to be named as a third-party construction unit.

   "Okay, let's go to Europe to find a team." Li Mingyao said: "It's all on me, I will definitely not let the conspiracy of the Mingzhou Group succeed!"

   "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. If it goes wrong again, you know what the consequences will be." Gao Bowen's face was terribly gloomy.

   "No, the people there are very easy to deal with. As long as you give them some benefits, they can even betray their own country." Li Mingyao said.

  The capital of Siam.

   "What? The next excavation will cost 80 million US dollars? This is definitely a steal!" Trasil's voice was so loud that the entire building could hear: "Mingzhou Group's asking price is too high!"

  Lacour's face was gloomy: "Trasil, you don't know how big the excavation will be. Why do you say that the asking price is too high? Have you investigated it? Do you understand?"

"Of course." Trasil was complacent: "Of course I have investigated and learned about it. Isn't it just some fragments from the explosion that rolled into the river? For what $80 million, as long as $40 million, I will A professional construction team can be invited to complete the entire work.”

   "Forty million dollars? Are you sure?" Qiu Daxin was tempted.

  Although it has been agreed with the Mingzhou Group, after all, they have to pay, even if the toll is exempted, it is still money, and now it can save half, how to choose?

   "Your Excellency Qiu Daxin, we must not be deceived." Lacour said, "The one contacted by Trasil is probably the construction company of the Singapore Port Group?"

  Qiu Daxin also became serious, yes, this matter is weird! The Singapore Port Authority has always wanted to hinder the construction of its own canal, and deliberately sabotaged it when its own side was blasting, so we have to guard against it!

"Of course not. If it was them, why would I come up with this plan? They are a European construction company. They heard that we need to clean up the river, and they came here to support us. You should also know that if the canal is successfully built, the road leading to Europe Shipping costs will be further reduced, and they will be able to use cheaper oriental products, so they set a low price for friendly purposes."

   Lacourt stopped talking, is this really the case?

   "Okay, if the Europeans can solve it with 40 million dollars, then we can consider using them."

   "Your Excellency Qiu Daxin, don't forget, we have no money now." Lacour thought of something.

  "European construction companies know our economic situation, so they can temporarily borrow on credit. When the canal is opened, we get the toll and then pay for their construction." Trasil continued.

  Qiu Daxin was completely tempted.

  The meeting ended, and Lacour walked out of the conference room with a gloomy face, his hands clenched into fists.

   Okay, if you dare to rob me, then don't blame yourself for being rude! His eyes were full of murderous intent.

  Getting into the car, he said in a cold tone: "Create a traffic accident, I want Trasil to die!"

   "Okay, but, would you like to meet Mr. Qin first? Maybe Mr. Qin has a better choice?"

   "Okay, go to President Qin."

Qin Tao hasn't left yet, and still stays on the construction site to direct. When he sees Rakul coming, his face is full of pride: "Rakul, we have re-investigated and we are sure that we can complete the task within the stipulated time. .”

   "Qin, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Rakul said in a low tone.

"What happened?"

   "Trasil found a European construction company and took over the business at a cost of 40 million US dollars. It can also wait until the canal is opened before paying for the project. So..."

   "So you were fooled, and you will suffer big losses if you are greedy for petty gain." Qin Tao said.

   "Take a loss? Be fooled?"

"That's right, think about it, Europe's labor costs and machinery and equipment are not as good as ours, so why is their quotation half as low as ours? It's normal for their quotation to be twice as high as ours!" Qin Tao said : "So, there must be something weird about this!"

"what is the problem?"

   "If I'm not mistaken, behind this so-called European construction company must be the Singapore Port Authority. Their purpose is to delay the construction of this canal for as long as they can."

procrastination?

   Lacour finally realized that he was in the conference room just now, why didn't he think of this? Boss Qin is really amazing, I wish I had known better and brought him to the meeting with me!

What should we do now?

   "I'll go back and report to His Excellency Qiu Daxin immediately, there is a problem with this construction company!"

   "No need to go, it's useless to go now." Qin Tao said: "Your leaders are attracted by the lower offer, and they can't listen to other people's words. If you talk about it now, there is nothing else but to disgust him."

   "So what should I do?"

   "Wait." Qin Tao said: "We promised to complete the project in half a year, but this European construction company will not be able to complete the project in ten years."

   "Wait half a year?" Lacour shook his head: "We can't wait that long. The sooner this canal is completed, the sooner we can get benefits. With money, our navy can purchase more warships."

"You don't have to wait half a year, just wait a month. In one month, see if they can complete one-sixth of the work. Isn't that enough?" Qin Tao said: "At that time, not only will you not have to pay them wages, but you will also They have to be fined heavily. This fine can be used as funds for our Mingzhou Group."

  Lacour's eyes lit up. That's right, a fine. If you didn't complete it within the stipulated time, of course you will be fined. Report this matter to Qiu Daxin, and Qiu Daxin will definitely agree.

"Also, if this so-called European construction company can take over this business, it must have bribed your officials. At that time, not only can the construction company be fined, but the officials who introduced them can also be imprisoned. The family's wealth was found to support the construction of the canal, so that we don't have to exempt our tolls, and it's almost enough to pay for our projects.”

   Lacour gave a thumbs up: "Qin, your method is great!"

Because of this incident, Trasil was on Lacourt's blacklist, and Lacourt only thought of sending someone to kill Trasil with a car, pretending to be a traffic accident, but this was just killing Trasil It's just one person, making a fuss about this matter now can bring bad luck to Trashiel's family!

  Qiu Daxin is very concerned about this project, and after knowing the truth, he will never let Trasil go.

   "I would like to ask your navy to find a place to store our construction vehicles temporarily, so as not to have to transport them back and forth. Anyway, we will take over the project in a month's time."

   "Okay, this is no problem, stop at our navy's base." Lacour nodded: "Your people can also stay. Our navy takes care of food and shelter."

   "Forget about people, our people are very precious and have to go to work on other construction sites." Qin Tao said.

   Watching Lacour leave, Kong Laoer was a little angry: "Mr. Qin, we haven't done such an aggrieved job before. It's fine if we don't pay the wages in advance, but we were robbed of the business by other construction companies!"

  Qin Tao smiled: "It's normal. There are always people who compete maliciously and destroy the market. We rely on quality and never rely on low prices to compete maliciously. In the next month, I will send you to Shuangsha Island for vacation."

  Shuangsha Island vacation?

  Everyone cheered: "Long live President Qin!"

   "Thank you Mr. Qin!"

  Lacour returned to the capital and reported to Qiu Daxin, who nodded, "That's right, we have to add some restrictions to avoid being cheated by them!"

The contract was finally placed in Li Mingyao's hands. He was very excited and finally accomplished a major event. In the past few years, they have never won against the Mingzhou Group. This time they finally snatched it from the Mingzhou Group. He was very happy about the business, he had nothing to say, and signed his name in a swish. As for the details of every clause in it, he really didn't pay attention.

   Next, you can practice foreign work!

  Qin Tao also returned to China, and brought Yang Dawei and others to a meeting at the Mingzhou Shipyard.

"Upgraded version 054?" Hearing Qin Tao's introduction, Yang Dawei nodded: "This is not difficult, we can just modify the bridge, and the internal combat command system can transplant the 052C, so it is a small shield Ship, but the displacement has not changed, and the price has doubled, Mr. Qin, are you sure there will be customers to buy it?"

"We only care about the design, and after the design is finished, we sell it to customers. If customers like it, they can order it, and if they don't like it, they can order our low-end version. We can't waste much money." Qin Tao said: "In case there is any rich customer I saw it."

   "Okay, then let's go to design." Yang Dawei said: "The project is not difficult, and we can complete the design in a week. But I have to go to my brother's unit first to get the data of this phased array radar."

  They have never been exposed to this kind of small shield, so they don't have any materials. They have to get the materials before designing.

  Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, I'm free too, I'll go with you."

   Are you free? Yang Dawei was a little speechless, Mr. Qin, you are really the most leisurely boss.

  However, just when Qin Tao was going to hang out, Xu Zhengyang reported new news: "Mr. Qin, Da Mao said that someone is coming, and he wants to see the progress of the construction of the 22350 frigate."

   Isn't it just a shell? What catches your eyes? Qin Tao was a little helpless: "Come on, just let them see for themselves."

   "Your Excellency Nicholas leads the team."

  Since Nicholas is leading the team, Qin Tao cannot leave and must be accompanied.

   Waiting until the next day, Nicholas and his party appeared in the Mingzhou Shipyard, accompanied by Qin Tao, who was extremely enthusiastic.

   "Nicolas, since the start of our 22350 frigate, we have mobilized elite troops and greatly accelerated the construction progress of the frigate. Now, half of the construction of the hull has been completed."

  On the berth, the 22350 frigate really took shape, and the lower part of the hull was almost finished. Seeing the smooth stealth shape, everyone was very satisfied.

   "Boss Qin, we can rest assured that the frigate will be handed over to you." Nicholas said: "Look at this, the complete hull will be handed over to us next year, right?"

   "That's right, it will be almost the first half of next year. Our construction speed is fast enough, you can rest assured."

   "Oh, it's a pity that our domestic institutions are stretching their hips."

"What's the matter? Nicholas, my old friend, have you encountered any problems? You can tell me about it." Qin Tao felt weird. How could it be possible that Nicholas and the others came here with great fanfare just for the sake of Take a look at this half-made iron case, it must have other purposes.

   "Gushkov, tell me." Nikolai said to the people behind him.

"Hello Mr. Qin, I am Yuri Gushkov, the chief designer of Fazatron Group." The middle-aged man said: "We are the first company in Damao to develop active phased array radar , We have encountered many difficulties in research and development, so we would like to ask for your help."

There are two major radar research and development institutions in Damao, one is Fazatron, code-named NIIR, and the other is Tikhmirov, code-named NIIP. If you want to develop the first active phased array radar, then it is Fazatron, they have developed many advanced radars, such as the beetle radar used by the famous MiG-29, such as the passive phased array radar used on the MiG-31. At the same time, they are also actively developing The first active phased array radar Beetle-AE.

  Although they have not developed phased array radars for warships, the Navy can only pin their hopes on their company.

   "Are you having a headache for the four-sided phased array radar used on the 22350 frigate?" Qin Tao looked at them curiously: "It's simple, just buy it from us!"

The shipborne phased array radar of Institute 14 is for 052C and 052D and cannot be exported, but the phased array radar developed by Aerospace 23 is only equipped with a 052B, and now they want to sell their phased array radar. completely fine.

  Qin Tao sent Yang Dawei to coordinate with the radar of the 23rd Institute, but now he did not expect that a customer had already come to the door.

"No, no, Mr. Qin, we can't directly purchase a complete set of radar." Gushkov said: "We can also develop related components of the radar, and now the most urgent thing we need to purchase is the T/R component on the active phased array radar , with these components, we can develop advanced airborne and shipborne phased array radars."

   Qin Tao realized that the other party wanted to purchase parts!

For active phased array radars, the biggest difficulty is the production of this T/R component. When 14 places produced radars for the navy, they were also tortured. Later, they gradually mastered the technology, so that the cost of this radar can be regarded as to lower down.

  Our own side has processing difficulties, and the old Maozi has even more problems. Now they are also worrying about this! In Qin Tao's original time and space, Lao Maozi's airborne phased array radar was only developed in 2005, experimented in 2006, and finalized in 10 years. As for the navy, it was developed after 11 years. Now they are completely engaged indefinite.

  The airborne ones can still wait, after all, they still have mature radars to use, but what about the shipborne ones? Seeing that the hull is about to be built, they will bring it back for outfitting in the future. How can they be finalized for service without radar?

  So, after some research, they finally decided to come to the East to seek a breakthrough.

"Sorry, I'm not familiar with these. Can you purchase our T/R components separately, can you complete the matching work?" Qin Tao said: "I still suggest that you purchase our radar directly, at least purchase the entire radar antenna For ours, you will do the circuit in the later stage, so as not to leak the secret.”

   Direct purchase of the whole antenna? Nikolai felt that this suggestion was not bad, but Gushkov shook his head again and again: "No, no, our current problem is mainly that we cannot mass-produce T/R components. With this kind of components, we can assemble them into antennas It's not difficult, we have the confidence.”

  Of course he can't purchase directly, otherwise why would they want Fazatron Group? There are also institutions in China that research shipboard radars. What if they rob the order?

"I don't know if there is any unit selling this component in China. I only know that when we purchase it, we purchase it as a whole." Qin Tao said: "I can contact you, but if they don't sell it, I will There is no way, and the price is not up to me."

   "Qin, as long as you contact me for help." Nicholas nodded: "Now, can we continue to look at your other warships? For example, the warship that is about to launch?"

  A warship about to launch? Qin Tao understood again that one of the purposes of Nikolai's visit was to see his own 002 aircraft carrier!

"Your Excellency Nikolai, the warship that is about to be launched is a strictly confidential project. You can only watch it from the outside, and you cannot step on it. If you want to see it, you can also take a look at the 054 frigate we built for foreign customers, and your displacement. almost."

   "Then let's take a look outside." Nicholas said, "Can we get on the gantry crane?"

  054 What's so interesting? I have seen it before, and there is no four-sided phased array radar, so it cannot be compared with our own warships at all! It was the aircraft carrier that aroused their great interest.

They have only one Kuznetsov themselves, and they often lie in the port and have no money to go out to wander, but they are ambitious. They hope to have more aircraft carriers in the future. Now of course we need to see the progress of the Eastern aircraft carrier. up.

   After all, this is a super aircraft carrier, comparable to the American aircraft carrier! It would be great if Ermao's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier hadn't been dismantled!

  Da Mao naval officer thought so in his heart.

   "The gantry crane can't go up, but I can find a higher place and take you up to have a look."

Anyway, you can watch it from the satellite, and now it's nothing to take Da Mao to see it. Qin Tao walked with everyone, and suddenly thought of something: "Actually, you can also communicate with our navy and ask to come to this ship For the launch ceremony of the aircraft carrier, I will definitely be able to step up and have a look at it."

   Foreign navies come to participate in the launching ceremony of their own navy warships. This is also a friendly expression, and it can also increase momentum.

  Nicolas had a happy face: "This is a good way, I will ask your navy to make a request some other day!"

   Everyone stepped onto a shelf next to the dock, looking down at the huge aircraft carrier, its wide flight deck, and the shed built in front of the deck, their eyes full of envy.

  With the appearance of this aircraft carrier, the strength of the Eastern Navy will be promoted to a new stage!
