MTL - From Arms Dealer To King of War-Chapter 604 terrible navy spending
Chapter 604 Horrible Naval Expenditures
After Qiaojia hung up the phone, he made several calls to other familiar people.
Then he found that purchasing warships is not difficult, but the difficulty is that the price of warships is too high...
A patrol ship with a displacement of about 3,000 tons, no, this level should be called a frigate. The cost of such a large surface ship basically exceeds 100 million US dollars.
Calculated according to the profit of arms, if you want to buy a slightly affordable warship, you need to spend at least 200 million US dollars.
The cheapest 056 foreign trade version in Huaguo actually costs 150 million US dollars. Even the second-hand coast guard version that has been in service for many years costs 80 million US dollars. This is the friendly price asked by Boss Qiao.
Now you know why only a few countries in the world have reliable navies, right?
After asking around, Qiaojia realized that he had read too much information on the Internet, and his mind was too big. It seemed that a maritime security company could not do without warships.
In fact, as long as the word "ship" is added, the price basically starts at nine or nine digits, and it is still in US dollars, depending on the weapon configuration you need.
If the weapon system is equipped according to the size of the hull and top-level specifications, the price will increase by 5 to 10 times.
How many years have the mercenaries in this world developed? Mercenary companies with aircraft and cannons still exist, but mercenaries with warships absolutely do not exist, because with the size of a mercenary company, it is absolutely impossible to afford it, let alone support the ocean. battleship.
Eric is still reliable. He didn’t sell those familiar models, but chose the ship that was most likely to be won and best suited to his needs for Boss Joe.
The tonnage of the Hamilton-class patrol boat is definitely sufficient. Although it needs to be refitted after buying it for 40 to 50 million yuan, it is definitely the highest cost-effective for Boss Joe.
It's not just about money, it's about symbolism.
The United States sells 12 decommissioned Hamilton-class patrol boats everywhere, and none of the major countries is willing to ask for it, but why do those small Southeast Asian countries flock to them?
Not only because those small countries do not have the ability to build ships, but also because there is some symbolic meaning in it, which is similar to paying protection fees.
Choga now wants to start a maritime security company. The Hamilton class doesn't even have missiles, so it won't touch the sensitive nerves of the countries along the Mediterranean Sea.
Moreover, the Princess of Monaco's ability to purchase a Hamilton-class patrol ship is itself a political bargaining chip.
The royal family of Monaco is rich, but you let him try to buy a tank or fighter jet?
The exaggerated price of the battleship made Boss Joe sober. He understood that he should not consider 'ship', but should work **** 'ship'.
The Mediterranean Sea is only that small. One Hamilton-class patrol ship is enough to match two patrol ships.
Qiaojia is a character who will never turn back after making a decision. He has already finalized a big ship, so the remaining small boats are not a problem in his eyes.
The moment he hung up the phone, Qiaojia picked up Nice and walked around, then said with a smile: "Let's talk to Charlene and see if she is willing to open a P·B branch in her own name."
Nice nodded slightly and said: "Then you go, the things here are over. I will take a helicopter back to Tobruk in the afternoon. There are still many things to be done there."
Joga heard this, touched Nice's face, and said, "Let's put Charlene aside for now, and it won't be too late to discuss with Charlene when Jamie comes back, let's go out for a stroll.
I heard that there are many good restaurants in Monaco, so we went to eat, just the two of us. "
Nice shook his head with a smile, and said, "I don't like that kind of place, the restaurant in the hospital is good.
I got word that we disrupted Al Qaeda's terror and made them angry.
Haftar called me, Sirte’s Al Qaeda mobilized a lot of people.
Now the city cleanup work in Tobruk has stopped again, and the captured terrorists have been picked up by NATO people. Now the Americans have withdrawn, and the French have transferred extrajudicial to Monaco. The British don’t care at all. Brug is understaffed and I need to go back. "
Joga rubbed his cheeks helplessly after hearing this, he was really out of skills.
The current P·B stalls are too big, manpower is needed everywhere, and there are many things that need to be dealt with every day.
Those things are not a little business or trivial matters, but human lives!
As the boss of P·B, even a little slack may kill someone.
Choga doesn’t dare to call himself a ‘big man’ all over the world, but he is in Afika!
There are too many interests connected to him, and the enemies are also crazy. If he is not careful, he may be exploited and lead to serious consequences.
Nice is taking the initiative to help him share the responsibility. The reason for this is that Libya is her hometown, but it must be more because she loves Boss Joe. She feels that she has the responsibility to share the pressure and responsibility for Boss Joe.
Nice isn't really good at this at all, but she's forcing herself to get used to it.
Hugged the girl vigorously, Qiaojia said helplessly: "Then don't go out to eat, I'll let the elephant bring a good cook over, and we'll have a barbecue on the top floor of the hospital.
Damn it, can't I have a life of my own? "
Nice looked at Qiaojia's appearance, and she said a little embarrassed: "I have an appointment for the helicopter at 2 o'clock in the afternoon."
Joga put his arms around Nice's shoulders, waved his hands grandly and said, "Then let them wait, that's their honor!"
Speaking, Qiaojia took out the radio, and after connecting, he said: "Elephant, no matter what you think of, find me a cook and ingredients, I want to hold a barbecue party on the roof."
On the radio, Dorian cheered and shouted: "Boss, you wait, give me an hour, I will get the best chef in Monaco, it must be an Italian chef, because Italian chefs are the best .
FUCK, we should have celebrated..."
Qiao Jia listened, tuned to the public channel, and said loudly: "Guys, we have a party in the afternoon, which is on the roof of the hospital. They all come to help. Tell the elephant what you want to eat and drink, and he will prepare it for you. of."
There was a moment of silence in the channel, and then enthusiastic cheers erupted...
"Aha, boss, I love you to death..."
"Boss, can we invite the nurses from the hospital, I think I'm about to find my second life..."
………
………
Hearing all kinds of nonsense on the channel, Qiaojia laughed and said: "No problem, no problem if you want to invite anyone.
If you can fool the doctors and nurses to go to Central Africa, I will reimburse you for the cost of opening the house. "
After speaking, Qiaojia hung up the communication, kissed Nice on the face forcefully, and said, "Nice, no matter what happens, we should not forget about life.
Our own sense of accomplishment is very important, but happiness is more important. If we are too busy to be happy, then what are we trying to do?
As for Libya, whatever, the sky will not fall, I have two new special forces in Austria, tomorrow I will send them to Libya.
Tell Thompson to go back too, and then you'll be in charge of recruiting...
Don't always be busy in person, we are big people, we give money...
I'm going to call that 'Gunfire', he's a good mercenary intermediary, we let him send messages to mercenaries all over the world...
P·B is recruiting! "
