Chapter 1243 Small Countries Contend for the Top

Piao Yantai's fleet is a large aircraft carrier composed of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered horizontal aircraft carrier USS George Washington, three guided missile cruisers, sixteen guided missile destroyers and frigates, three attack submarines and several logistics support ships. formation.

Anyone who has an impression of the USS Washington will remember that in the past few decades, it is the aircraft carrier formation to which this aircraft carrier belongs-the US Seventh Fleet, which has been conducting long-term wars against a rising country in the Asia-Pacific waters. and continued blockade.

Their original intention was to keep the tentacles of this country out of the sea forever. It's just that they probably never imagined that there would be a day when they would make a wedding dress for someone else, and they would still make a wedding dress for their dog-legged little brother.

After the U.S. government's war against mutants broke out, this famous overseas fleet was patronized by a group of mutants. For ordinary people who only have conventional means of warfare, the Seventh Fleet may be an indestructible sea fortress. But to mutants, it's just an undefended cheese.

Control the water, control the air, control the metal, control the mind. A few small tricks caused the entire Seventh Fleet to fall apart, completely falling into the hands of these mutants. Of course, for mutants, this is just scrap metal. But this does not mean that they can return these things to the United States casually. There is nothing so cheap in this world, even if the war is over, and the United States has already surrendered!

In order to teach the United States some lessons, these mutants located in the east directly began to openly sell these vital maritime military power to all countries. And once the news spread, it immediately attracted countless followers.

Not every country will be as afraid of the United States, especially after the United States has clearly entered a period of decline. So there was no way to stop it at all, and this special auction was officially held on the high seas of the Asia-Pacific region. And in such an auction, there are not many countries that are really capable of winning the entire Seventh Fleet.

Japan and its big neighbor are the most popular options. Because in terms of economic strength, only these two countries can eat such a large piece of meat. But in the end, no one expected that it would be South Korea that won the entire Seventh Fleet. Of course, the price it paid was definitely heavy.

A total of 500 billion U.S. dollars, for South Korea whose foreign exchange reserves are only 330 billion U.S. dollars,

This is an almost impossible debt to take on. Even for any country participating in this auction, this is an unacceptable price. Many people think that the South Korean government is crazy, but South Korea doesn't think so, they just want to do this.

In order to be able to win the complete Seventh Fleet, the South Korean government first got a promise from the nearby Big Brother, and exchanged all the information of the fleet ships of the Seventh Fleet for its support, and then it even offered the shares of those large domestic companies to the South Korean government. Big Brother has borrowed almost $200 billion in high-interest foreign debt. The purpose is to completely win the Seventh Fleet with an absolute advantage.

It did, and the Seventh Fleet did indeed belong to South Korea. But it also completely offended the United States. Even if they changed the names of all the ships of the Seventh Fleet to avoid suspicion and cover up, for example, they changed the USS Washington to the USS Pusan, but this did not change what they had done.

South Korea themselves are aware of this, so they will do everything possible to take advantage of this special period to expand their power. For them at this time, now is an opportunity that must not be missed. Whether it is the whole of South Korea or Park Yantai himself, they all need to use this credit to open up a new situation, so their speed must not be considered slow.

The full speed of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier at 30 knots made the Indians very sad. The inferior products they bought from Russia really couldn't do this.

If you want to say that after World War II, who was the biggest taker in terms of arms purchases? Then India can really take the championship on its own head with a domineering arrogance that is no one but me.

Whether it has been scraped by Russia with a knife in various ways, or bought thirty-six Rafale fighters from France at an astronomical price. The slogan of the Indian government has always been that we only buy expensive ones, not the right ones. Indians do not lack money, what they lack is weapons and armaments. This is the understanding of India by all military-industrial countries in the world. Because the world's third economy has always had a long and tortuous road to self-development, any country will mercilessly raise its butcher's knife when faced with India's arms purchase requirements.

For example, France, when their Rafale fighters were sold to India, they directly doubled the unit price from 64 million US dollars to 112 million US dollars, which made India plan to purchase one at the beginning. The idea of ​​one hundred and twenty-six Rafale fighters came to naught. Because the Indian Air Force simply cannot afford the procurement cost of 20 to 30 billion.

Then, after many negotiations, the French side refused to let go, and India, which could not find a substitute at all, could only pinch its nose and bought three of them from the French company Dassault at a high price of 8.8 billion U.S. dollars. Sixteen Rafale fighters.

This price has doubled from when they first started group buying. The price of 240 million can almost buy two F35s. After this battle, all countries in the world bowed their heads to India in terms of the stupidity and generosity of arms purchases.

And the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya on which Rama Mujam is riding is also a special product made for the talent of India's idiot military purchases.

Vikramaditya, formerly known as the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier, the last ship of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy. In 1999, Russia handed over the aircraft carrier to the Indian government in the name of thanking India for its strong support to Russia in arms purchases over the years.

It sounds very good, as if Russia, which has always been accustomed to yelling at Indian lions, has finally felt a little guilty in its conscience, so it intends to use this method to rebuild the friendly relationship between the two countries. But in fact this is not the case at all, because Russia has expressed it very clearly.

The boat, we can give it away for free. But you have to pay for the modification fee. If you don't pay for the modification fee, then you look down on me. You look down on me, you still want a boat? You deserve a beating!

Faced with Russia's unconventional marketing methods, the Indian government gritted its teeth and finally nodded. And this nod is the modification cost of 2.3 billion and the modification time of more than ten years.

2.3 billion in exchange for an aircraft carrier that can replace the main force of the active aircraft carrier, this business seems to be worthwhile. You must know that the construction of the Liaoning cost about three billion U.S. dollars. From this perspective, although the Vikramaditya is a little old, it is not unacceptable.

But do you think that's the only tricks Russia plays? The Indians used their own blood and tears to tell every audience that things are far from being as simple as outsiders think.

The modification of the aircraft carrier is just an addition, and the real big one is the carrier-based aircraft. The Russians very shrewdly controlled the length of the deck runway of the Vikramaditya, so that the Indians could only accept the MiG 29k they were equipped with as the carrier aircraft of their new aircraft carrier. This cost exceeded 5 billion, and overall, this business is not much different from that of the French Rafale.

The Russians finally slaughtered India, a regular customer, once again, and India, which was cheated a lot, could only swallow all the bitterness in its stomach with tears in its eyes.

I spent the money for a new aircraft carrier, but I just bought a second-hand modified one, and it was still a second-hand one that was basically impossible to run at full power. A feeling of resentment and shame could have been felt by any human being. But India didn't mean that, because he quickly found a sense of accomplishment from this failed business.

The domestic media in India stated that this aircraft carrier will surpass the modernized Varyag-class aircraft carrier of their northern neighbors, which is a level that they cannot catch up with in 20 years. Insufficient than the top, more than the bottom. Brother Ah San, who has always been big-hearted, is easy to satisfy.

But can they really be so optimistic all the time? At the very least, when he watched Pu Yantai heading straight for his destination at a speed of 30 knots, while he could only advance at a speed of 29 knots in theory, but only more than 27 knots in reality, Rama Mujam's heart was full of excitement. It's really not optimistic at all.

India is obviously lagging behind the world by a large margin, but those idiots in the country are always self-righteous and think that they can catch up with this and that. They don't do anything, and don't know how to do it, except talk and talk. Can this really make India stronger? Let India overtake that already rising world power?

It was not the first time for Rama Mujam to think about this problem, but he had never thought about it so deeply as he is now. He knows that if India wants to truly develop, it must start to change. And this change should start from him.

As long as he can take the credit for the present, as long as he can sit in the high position of the Tianhammer Bureau. He can use his influence to go deep into India. Cultivate your own power. If all goes well, with his prestige and the strength of his family, it may not be impossible to be the helm of India. Only by sitting in that position can he completely change the whole of India.

Rama Mujam, who had imagined far enough away, paid more and more attention to the task in front of him. This made him unwilling to let Pu Yantai escape from his sight. But just when he was about to take some risks to speed up his formation, a special accident happened to him first.
