This old guy Dimitri thinks I have never seen the world and wants to fool me with a piece of basalt?
"Dimitri, if you had brought out granite, maybe I'd be excited. But you brought out basalt and told me it's the most advanced? You take me for an idiot!"
Dimitri's face turned pale and he stuttered. "Wan! How do you know about granite? Even in our country, few people know about it."
Wan Feng sneered.
Yes, Dimitri did not lie. This anti-ship missile is a national treasure of the Russians. Many of their own people do not know about it. Western countries only know that there is such a model, and the specific data is not clear.
NATO gave this missile the code name "Shipwreck", which shows how much importance it attaches to it.
NATO code-named Soviet weapons mostly in a contemptuous tone, such as grapefruit and sandbox.
However, NATO has two code names for this missile: one is ship destruction and the other is shipwreck.
The literal meaning of the name shows the position of this missile in the hearts of Westerners.
The explosive power of the Granite missile is equivalent to 500,000 tons of TNT, and it is said that one missile can destroy an aircraft carrier.
The Soviet Union kept this missile extremely secret. If it weren't for the sinking of the Kurtsk in 2000, the outside world would still not know its true identity.
The Kursk was one of Russia's newest, most advanced and highest-performance nuclear-powered submarines at the time, with a displacement of tons.
On August 12, 2000, an accident occurred during an underwater exercise on the Kursk, resulting in a large-scale explosion, the submarine sank, and 118 officers on board were killed.
The rescue team arrived at the scene five days after the shipwreck, and rescuers from the UK and Norway also arrived at the scene shortly afterwards.
Because of the participation of foreign aid in the rescue, this most advanced Russian submarine was also exposed to people's view.
The submarine is equipped with 24 cruise missiles, which are Granit missiles. Each missile weighs 7 tons and is estimated to have a range of 500 kilometers. If all 24 missiles are launched, they are enough to destroy an aircraft carrier fleet.
This news was also broadcast on the Xinwen Lianbo back then.
Of course, only a few photos were broadcast at the time.
There has never been an official explanation as to why it exploded and sank.
It was because of this shipwreck that Westerners truly understood the power of granite.
But what’s funny is that there are still people who question the authenticity of granite, and they even make sense of it.
Wan Feng remembered that there were countless American sheepdogs in China who had slandered this missile in every possible way, saying that it was a Soviet bluff that had fooled the West for decades.
And it is said that granite poses no threat to US aircraft carriers.
Wan Feng just laughed.
Americans and the West are all fools. Have they been deceived for decades?
If this missile did not have such great power, would the Soviet aircraft carriers have installed it just for show?
Not to mention nuclear submarines, even the Kilo-class submarines are equipped with Granit missiles. If they were just showboats, would the Soviets equip their nuclear and conventional submarines with these things?
"Dimitri, I tell you I saw it in a dream, do you believe it?" Wan Feng answered Dimitri's question with a smile.
Did you dream about it? You really dared to do that.
Dimitri shook his head: "I don't believe it!"
"You don't have to believe me, but basalt is basalt. You certainly can't get granite."
Dimitri also admitted that he had no access to granite, so naturally he couldn't get it.
With the basalt in hand, Wan Feng dared not neglect it any longer and immediately reported to Zhu Guoxiong.
Damn, this bastard Dimitri brought up this thing this time. I don’t know if it’s safe or not. Will it explode by itself?
If it thought of it on its own, it would be really unlucky.
Han Meng and Zhao Gang have been back for several days. As soon as they came back, they went to Xiaoyanshan. Wan Feng didn't have time to ask them how Zhang Juan's matter was handled.
Today, Li Mingdou and He Xiao went to change shifts and finally got the two people back.
"How's the situation at Xiao Wu's house?"
"There should be no problem." Among Yang Jianguo, Han Meng and Zhao Gang, Han Meng always talks the most, so it is natural for him to answer the questions.
"Have you done it yet?"
Han Meng shook his head: "We didn't choose to take action because we were worried that after we took action against them, they would harm your sister-in-law after we left."
This idea is not without reason.
What if Han Meng and Zhao Gang beat up Chao Shui's gang, and those guys held a grudge and kidnapped Zhang Juan?
Zhang Juan is rich and beautiful, so this possibility is not impossible.
Wan Feng couldn't send someone to watch Zhang Juan every day.
"So how did you deal with it?"
"We'll use threats and inducements to make them aware of our strength through a display of force, while also offering them some sweet treats to deter them from acting rashly."
"What sweet treat did you give them?"
"I didn't give them any sweet treats. I just had a few meals and drinks with them and got them drunk."
"Will this work?"
"It should be fine for now. Besides, where are you going to keep your sister-in-law? Aren't you going to take her to Bei Liao?"
Wan Feng had never really thought about this question. Who knew whether that girl had ever thought about going out.
If she wanted to go out, Wan Feng didn't mind taking her to Bei Liao, but if she didn't want to go, he wouldn't care.
"Let's wait until she graduates. There's only a little over a month left anyway."
"Well, find a job for Chao Shui's guys. The steel we're going to keep for ourselves needs to be loaded onto train cars in Wu County, and we need someone to be in charge there. Whichever of you is willing to go, go to Wu County Station and take those Chao Shui guys to look after the place. Tell them you'll pay them 120 yuan a month, free food and lodging, and if they do a good job, I'll give them a bonus at the end of the year."
It just so happened that Wu County did not send anyone to watch the place due to manpower shortage. Although there were night watchmen on duty at the station, Wan Feng still felt that it would be safer to have his own people.
Besides, keeping them away from Zhang Juan is a safer approach.
What if these guys go wild?
Any man would definitely have wild thoughts about Zhang Juan.
"Then I'll go." Han Meng said.
"I'm more talkative and can get along with them. Zhao Gang is a bit of a taciturn person, just like Yang Jianguo. They barely say a few words a day. Without communication, there's no emotional connection between the two parties, and those working on the project might not pay attention. Nonsense isn't very useful, but it can help build relationships."
Zhao Gang rolled his eyes at Han Meng.
"Okay, when you get there, rent a house near the station and hire a cook. You can buy your own groceries. I'll give you 5,000 yuan upfront to pay their salaries and cover the groceries and rent."
Anyway, this has found something for a few scoundrels to do. I hope they can gain some positive insights from this short-term job and get on the right track in the future.
Han Meng immediately set off to Chaoshu to gather those idiots.
