"By the way, Commander Yuan, I noticed you weren't very enthusiastic about meetings before, but lately you seem to be addicted to them!"
From the moment they contacted Commander Yuan to their arrival at the Eastern Military Region Command Center,
Old Yuan is either in a meeting or on his way to a meeting every day.
Even Commander Tang found it strange.
Commander Yuan glanced at Su Lin.
Since Su Lin's Lanxiang Military Industry has been responsible for developing both air defense missile systems and ballistic missiles...
We're not exactly outsiders anymore.
Moreover, it's causing quite a stir internationally right now, despite the progress of the planned trip.
It was top-secret intelligence, but the information that China was going to buy an aircraft carrier from Ukraine was...
It's no longer even considered news.
"What else could it be? The Vagri! The Ukrainians are asking for a fortune, and we've had to scrimp and save to make ends meet."
We've raised enough money and just left the port, but the Turkish authorities are withholding our passage, saying they won't let us through without paying the toll.
Do you think we're in a hurry? This is the biggest project our navy has undertaken in nearly a decade.
"If I waste even a day, my hair will fall out in clumps."
Commander Tang glanced at Commander Yuan's forehead; this was no longer enemy support for the Central Committee.
He's practically a lone commander now, so you can imagine the pressure he's under.
"How dare these 'local chickens' be so arrogant, trying to take our toll money?"
Commander Yuan lit a cigarette; his blood pressure was about to spike as he talked about this.
"What's so great about a country bumpkin? All they're good for is talking big. These days, who doesn't want us to build an aircraft carrier?"
Don't you know yet?
Currently, only a handful of countries in the world possess aircraft carriers.
There are fewer than 10 at most.
NATO in Europe will become allies, essentially aligning themselves with the US.
Indians, the Kingdom of Siam, and the Kingdom of Samba—those are all just for laughs.
Having an aircraft carrier is one thing, but lacking a complete naval system is another.
The United States is the one most worried about China having its own aircraft carrier fleet.
"Damn, these Americans are so nosy! I import goods from the Middle East, and they still have to interfere!"
Commander Tang was also getting angry when he talked about it. Su Lin had just opened up the Chinese market in the Middle East.
Its influence and voice in the Middle East are certainly not as strong as those of the United States.
If Principal Su had established Lanxiang Military Industry earlier, there might still have been a glimmer of hope.
It's difficult now.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. There's nothing we can do about it. We're actively communicating with the local chicken farmers now."
Hopefully they'll recognize the situation; they can forget about hindering our aircraft carrier program!
Su Lin wanted to say a few words,
But the words that were on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back down.
Previously, Su Lin had prepared to propose his own research and development plan for the aircraft carrier project.
After all, the army already possesses the Type 90-II main battle tank.
It also has air defense missile systems and ballistic missiles.
More than enough to defend the country.
The Air Force also has J-20s, which are currently in mass production.
Deployment has been carried out in all four military regions.
The only weak point is the navy.
Without the support of an aircraft carrier, no matter how strong a country is, it's just indulging in self-congratulation on its own doorstep.
But the most important thing now is to deal with the big dogs in the Middle East.
"Principal Su, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing Su Lin's thoughtful expression, Commander Tang nudged him with his elbow.
"It's nothing, it's just an aircraft carrier. It was originally an unfinished, secondhand one."
"At worst, I'll just give up. It's not even as much as I make selling a single missile."
That's true. The Vagri was just an empty shell, and an unfinished one at that.
Although the Ukrainian pigs were asking for an exorbitant price, they only demanded 100 million US dollars.
The real expense is the $1 billion toll fee for the Turkish chickens.
“One hundred million US dollars, Principal Su, that’s no small sum.”
Hearing Commander Yuan's surprised mouth,
Commander Tang almost burst out laughing.
Only Commander Tang knows that Su Linguang's research and development alone has earned nearly 4 billion US dollars.
Moreover, there are mining rights for five more oil fields behind them.
That's enough to build a brand new aircraft carrier.
"Commander Yuan, just leave it alone. Someone from the Turkish side has already gone to negotiate."
If it passes, great; if not, just discard it.
With our Principal Su here, isn't it like having an aircraft carrier? Right, Principal Su?
Su Lin remained silent and began to act like an expert.
You can't just agree to anything to show off in a situation like this.
If we get entangled with Commander Yuan, that would be troublesome.
Su Lin, I'm a businessman. The aircraft carrier blueprints in this system aren't cheap.
The most important thing is to maintain sustainable development. Given China's current GDP...
This is simply not enough to support the research and development of so many projects.
The only way is to earn foreign exchange by selling arms.
A closed loop is formed.
"Yeah, I've been worrying myself sick. What's meant to come will come, and what's not meant to come won't."
"Then I'll pass on the mission instructions. When will your missiles arrive?"
The troops from Commander Tang's Northern Military Region were in charge of this land transport.
All green lights all the way, even though we traveled over 1000 kilometers.
However, we should be able to reach the port smoothly by noon tomorrow.
"Let's do it tomorrow at noon. A lot of people are watching this; we can't let word get out."
Departure as soon as possible. As long as the goods are safely transported to the Persian Gulf, any subsequent problems will be resolved.
It's all the fault of the wealthy, powerful families.
"Okay! Then we'll depart promptly at 12 noon tomorrow!"
We've explained the plan; there's still plenty of time.
At Commander Tang's insistence, Su Lin had no choice but to accompany him.
Wandering around within the Eastern Military District's jurisdiction...
"Principal Su, now that the Dongfeng-21 series has finished exporting, does Lanxiang Military Industry have any more large-scale projects?"
There are no projects currently planned.
However, after studying the system recently, Su Lin discovered that it not only contained the most advanced weaponry and equipment of 2023,
Four other plans caught Su Lin's attention.
In China, there's a tradition that what you can see is what you're allowed to see.
The J-20 is a brand-new fifth-generation fighter jet.
It's already at a world-class level, but in fact, the equipment plan for humanity's first 'deep space strategic strike group'...
Research and development began a while ago, but it hasn't reached the mass production stage yet.
If the US could reveal this "South Heavenly Gate Plan," they would know what panicking really means.
"I'm looking at the Vagri, hoping to transport it back, but the chances of success are slim."
Commander Tang is still very concerned about the development of the Chinese Navy.
It's important to understand that the humiliating history we endured was due to the weakness of our navy.
It became a breakthrough point for the great powers.
Even in order to enhance the navy's strength in a short period of time,
They even performed the maneuver of driving tanks onto ships.
Looking back now, it was truly pathetic...
If China could have an aircraft carrier that it could produce domestically.
This is the true sign of the rise of China's military strength.
"Commander Tang, what's meant to happen will happen."
"Yes, what's coming will come!"
