Chapter 1600 I Want an Aircraft Carrier Fleet

"Haha, Lin, how do you feel? How is the speed of the MiG-9?" Ellison flew the MiG-9 toward Los Angeles.

"Not bad, although it is not as comfortable as a private plane, it is much more exciting than a private plane." Lin Feng sat in the back seat and looked at the mountains and white clouds whizzing away outside the window, sighing.

"Hehe, so I bought this MiG-9 to experience this extreme speed pleasure!" Ellison was full of pride and boasting. Although his wealth is far less than that of his biggest competitor Bill Gates, he is far better than Bill Gates in terms of the excitement of life and happiness of life. Ellison can only describe Bill Gates' personality, life, and family in one word - boring.

Don't look at Bill Gates's wealth, but what's the use of having money? If you don't know how to spend it and enjoy it, you have money in vain. On the contrary, Ellison's life can only be described as brilliant. In the world of the rich, there is no one like Ellison who knows how to live and enjoy life. And this is also the reason why Ellison looks down on Bill Gates. The reason why Ellison and Lin Feng have become close friends for years is that Lin Feng is also a person who knows how to live. And Lin Feng's financial management concept is very similar to his - money is earned to be spent.

"I say, Lin, I heard that Lockheed Martin is selling an F-7 that crashed in the Yugoslav Federation recently, and the price is $100 million. Of course, this price is a bit high. After all, the cost of a new one is only $100 million, and this one is still after repair, with some damage, according to the market price, it is only about $100 million at most. But you also know that the F-7 is an advanced fighter of the US military, and its speed is unparalleled. You can consider it. I think it must be great to fly the F-7!" Ellison looked expectantly.

Ellison's greatest advantage and his greatest disadvantage is that he loves adventure and likes all kinds of exciting extreme sports, otherwise he would not become the world's richest man and the first person to win the World Sailing Championship. And after playing sailing for so long, he is a little tired. Now he has set his sights on flying an airplane. But he soon got tired of ordinary planes, and then Ellison set his sights on fighter planes. Fortunately, American law allows private purchases of military products such as tanks and fighter jets, of course, provided that there are no offensive weapons.

Therefore, Ellison bought the current MiG-9 and used it as a means of transportation between cities. Although every flight of the MiG-9 costs the fuel of a BMW, Ellison enjoys it. However, people who like adventure and excitement have a problem, which is that they are easily tired of the old and love the new.

Not long after the MiG-9 flew, Ellison got tired of it. Just at this time, Lockheed Martin sold an F-7 that was retired due to injury.

The F-7 is a stealth attack aircraft developed by Lockheed. It is the world's first stealth fighter that can be officially combat-ready. The length is 8 meters, the height is .78 meters, the wingspan is meters, the wing area is 84.8 square meters, and the aspect ratio is 5. Maximum level flight speed km/h, maximum normal use speed m.9, combat radius (without refueling,

56 km.

It can be said that the speed of the F-7 is not outstanding. But it is called a stealth aircraft, which makes Ellison excited. He wants to try the pleasure of driving the F-7 to penetrate certain countries without being discovered. However, considering the irrational price of the F-7, the high maintenance cost and the somewhat outdated design concept, Ellison has been hesitating.

After all, his money did not fall from the sky, but was earned by himself. And in the joint venture with Lin Feng to establish "Forest Film After acquiring half of the movie screens in the United States, his funds were tight. It was indeed a bit extravagant, a bit wasteful, and a bit uneconomical to want to get an F-7 to put at home.

So, Ellison has been struggling. But now that he has met Lin Feng, it is different. With Lin Feng's current financial resources, there is no pressure at all to get an F-7 to play with. At that time, as one of Lin Feng's brothers, Ellison believes that there will be no problem for him to borrow it from Lin Feng to play with. Therefore, Ellison wanted to persuade Lin Feng to buy an F-7.

Unfortunately, Lin Feng shook his head without even thinking about it.

"Ellison , I am not very interested in flying fighter planes. On the contrary, I am quite interested in ships. If possible, how about you help me get an aircraft carrier? It would be best if it can carry weapons. "Lin Feng said.

Aircraft carrier? And weapons?——Ellison was stunned when he heard it. The MiG-9 fell down immediately.

"Hey, be careful when flying the plane." Lin Feng was shocked.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, my current flying skills, although not as good as those ace pilots, but by no means worse than most of the US Air Force." Ellison quickly stabilized the MiG-9 and laughed proudly.

"By the way, Lin, you want an aircraft carrier? You know How much will it cost? That's billions of dollars, and that doesn't even include the high maintenance costs. "Ellison frowned. Ellison once considered buying an aircraft carrier for fun, but after calculating the cost and high maintenance costs, Ellison gave up the idea. Although Lin Feng is much richer than him, it's probably too difficult to get an aircraft carrier. Of course, it's not impossible for Lin Feng to get one for fun, but it's really unnecessary.

Besides, a lonely aircraft carrier cruising in the vast Pacific Ocean is a bit too lonely. Unless...

Lin Feng smiled and nodded.

Ellison's eyes widened.

"Lin, don't you want to buy a frigate or something like a destroyer? Do you want to equip an aircraft carrier formation?" Ellison exclaimed.

"Yes, since I want to buy an aircraft carrier, I have to buy it. Otherwise, why would I buy it? If it passes through Somalia and is hijacked by Somali pirates, it will be funny. The aircraft carrier is hijacked by a small fishing boat. That is the largest incident in military history. What a joke." Lin Feng said with a shrug.

"But do you know how much it costs? It's at least tens of billions of dollars! If you include the corresponding weapons, it's an astronomical figure. You should know that governments of various countries strictly prohibit private weapons, but Some of the private cars of the world's richest people have weapons, and these weapons are privately modified by these military factories, and the charges are twice as high as the normal selling price. If you want to equip an aircraft carrier fleet, plus some conventional weapons. The price of a sexual weapon would probably be at least over 100 million U.S. dollars, and the annual maintenance cost would be an astronomical figure.

Lin Feng nodded.

"I know this, that's why I want to make more money. Ellison, think about it, if you own an aircraft carrier fleet and cruise freely on the ocean, how pleasant it would be." Lin Feng Zhan said.

Ellison's mind suddenly pictured an aircraft carrier formation flying its own flag on the blue ocean. How refreshing it would be. This is definitely more enjoyable than what F-7 he drives. Of course, the price is higher.

However, it is really difficult to build an aircraft carrier fleet. After all, having an aircraft carrier fleet, even with conventional weapons, is enough to dominate a sea area and attack some maritime countries.

"Allison, if you can help me organize the aircraft carrier formation, I will give you the F-7." Lin Feng patted Ellison on the shoulder and said seductively. Ever since Ellison tempted him to buy the F-7, Lin Feng knew that Ellison must have taken a liking to the F-7, but he just didn't have that much spare money to buy it.

Ellison gulped. The temptation of Lin Feng was too great, at least Ellison couldn't refuse. The dream of flying an F-7 across Cuba has been echoing in Ellison's mind.

"Okay, Lin, I will definitely help you get the aircraft carrier fleet!" Ellison finally couldn't stand the temptation that he had been tempted by for many years and decided.

Although this is a bit difficult, it is not difficult for Ellison.

Northrop Grumman is the third largest defense company in the world and the largest manufacturer of radars and warships. The company is headquartered in San Diego, California, has factories or offices and employees in many regions around the world, with annual revenue of $0.7 billion. , "Nimitz-class" aircraft carrier, net future aircraft carrier, "Zumwalt-class" destroyer, "Virginia-class" nuclear submarine, "Advanced Seal Delivery System", "Hornet-class" amphibious assault ship, 1-6 future amphibious assault ship , "Saint Anthony-class" amphibious dock transport ship, "maritime security frigate", and "Elat-class" frigate are all its products.

The vice president of Northrop Grumman has a good personal relationship with Ellison. Although the relationship between the two of them cannot buy the top aircraft carrier, buying an ordinary one can still make a god. At most, they don't want nuclear energy. After all, once things involve nuclear energy, it will be troublesome. As for the rest of the frigates, they can be built and pieced together. Anyway, Lin Feng is not really going to fight. At most, he can fight pirates and look majestic. This is enough.

As for weapons, that's not too much trouble. Pay a little more money and process it privately. As long as it is not equipped with missiles and long-range weapons, there will be no problem. Of course, if Lin Feng were crazy enough to attack a big country like the United Kingdom or the United States, the consequences would be serious. However, Ellison believed that Lin Feng would not be so crazy as to attack a huge country like the United Kingdom or the United States. As for some other small countries, Ellison believes that even with Lin Feng's personal strength, they can handle it.

When wealth reaches Lin Feng's level, some small countries simply don't dare to offend Lin Feng.
