The ceremony for the entry of warships into the harbor was held on Crescent Island.
The Russian representatives attending the ceremony were the admiral of the Russian Pacific Fleet who came with the ship, and the Russian ambassador to Palau. On the Palau side, attending the ceremony of the warship entering the port were Zhu Tian, chairman of Daming Trading, and the Vice President of Palau.
In a friendly atmosphere, Zhu Tian boarded the ship and shook hands with the Russian admiral, signed a handover agreement with Russian representatives, and then reviewed the naval soldiers who had completed their training in Moscow.
The two guardian-class frigates lined up in a line and fired a salvo of naval guns at the target ship in the uninhabited sea, demonstrating the excellent firepower of Russian-made weapons to the Ming Dynasty trade. Looking at the water rising into the sky
With the curtain and the target ship torn into pieces, the Russian admiral smiled friendly at Zhu Tian without concealing the pride in his brows.
This rough-looking man was instinctively proud of the weapons produced in his country.
Zhu Tian did not show too much surprise, he just smiled politely and applauded with all the attendees.
This firepower is indeed impressive, but compared to the weapons in the apocalypse, it is still a bit weak.
After being transformed by engineering robots, Zhu Tian is confident that he can more than double the firepower of this thing. The Type 50 J-type electromagnetic gun being developed in Shelter 7 is an enlarged battleship version of the original Type 50 electromagnetic gun.
.It can fire up to 50 kilograms of mass bombs, with an ultimate range of up to 250 kilometers, far exceeding conventional naval guns. With the cooperation of early warning aircraft or satellites, frigates equipped with this electromagnetic gun can extend the combat radius from 70 kilometers
to one hundred kilometers, far exceeding the combat radius of conventional warships.
Compared with the electromagnetic gun that the United States has installed on the joint high-speed ship "Millinocket", the Type 50 J-type electromagnetic gun is obviously much smaller. However, its slim body does not mean that it is less lethal.
In the not-too-distant future, it will rely on its ferocious firepower to become a surgical scalpel across the Pacific!
Although the problem of magnetic track overheating has not been solved yet, with the progress of research and development, it will not be long before this technical problem can be solved.
Two Type 636 Kilo-class submarines fired torpedoes at floating targets under the sea, demonstrating their firepower to the personnel on shore through combat videos. Then the two submarines surfaced and displayed colorful flags. The entire crew boarded the deck and greeted Zhu Tian and others.
Represents salute.
While raising his hand to signal, Zhu Tian smiled and whispered to the fat Russian ambassador next to him.
"Impressive firepower."
Hearing Zhu Tian's words, Valery Legasov grinned and whispered in proficient Chinese: "Our munitions have always been reliable. If Mr. Zhu is interested in adding security to your back garden, please be sure to contact us
.”
The pot-bellied Legasov has an inexplicable affinity, which may be related to his comically large burgundy nose and the beer belly that stretches his suit tight.
Regarding the word "back garden" used by the Russian ambassador, Zhu Tian just smiled and did not deny it. For the intelligence personnel of the five gangsters, this is not a secret at all. Considering his cooperative relationship with Russia, his
Acquiescence also helps to increase the other party's attention to him.
Sure enough, seeing that Zhu Tian did not correct his words, the smile on Valery's face became even stronger.
"In South Asia, where there are only a few fishing boats, Kilo-class submarines can already drive you sideways. Your only threat now is aircraft from the sky. Why don't you consider buying a few anti-aircraft rockets? Our S-400 air defense system
It will definitely satisfy you.”
"I will seriously consider your opinions, but for now, we have no more military expansion plans." Zhu Tian pushed the reason to maintain the stability of the regional situation and declined Valery's proposal.
Of course Zhu Tian would not tell the real reason for his refusal! Even Russia's newly developed S-500 air defense system might not be able to catch his eye. For such a small and cutting-edge air defense weapon, he can definitely get it from the apocalypse.
.
However, Valery accepted his reason, shrugged, and said nothing more in this regard.
The warship handover ceremony soon came to an end.
According to the procedure, the Russian delegation exited, and the Russian general and Valery shook hands with Palau Vice President and Zhu Tian respectively to say goodbye.
"In my opinion, you are smarter than most dictators in the world." Valery said to Zhu Tian while standing at the military port of Crescent Island before boarding the passenger ship back to Coro Island.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Zhu Tian said with a smile.
Valery inadvertently glanced at the Vice President who was chatting with the Russian admiral not far away and said: "Most dictators are eager to show off their hegemony to their people and are busy making the whole world aware of their dangers.
But you are different, your approach is very smart. Palau has the most democratic system in the world, whether it is universal suffrage or freedom of speech, but both the economy and national defense are all in your hands. Palau
Labor can never introduce antitrust laws, so your actions will always be legal."
"Thank you for the compliment. But can I ask? Is this the Russian side's evaluation or Legasov's personal opinion?"
Hearing this, Valery smiled generously.
"Please don't think too much. This is of course my personal opinion. But can Mr. Zhu answer a question for me? It's of a personal nature."
"Of course." Zhu Tian smiled.
"You are already very rich and have even bought a country. From what I have seen over the years of working, authoritarian regimes and monopoly giants are usually 'lazy' because they have no competitors. Maintaining the status quo is the best option.
A perfect state. But you who have both seem to be just the opposite. Even now, Daming Group is still constantly opening up the market, and Daming Trading is constantly updating weapons. I am personally very curious... What is your ideal?"
Valery asked.
"Your question is very strange. Microsoft is also very rich, and in a sense has formed an absolute 'standard' monopoly, but they have never stopped exploring the market. Daming Group is an enterprise, and of course we have to continue
We must be aggressive and remain competitive. In addition, I need to correct your concept. It is not the dictator who is lazy, but the short-sighted dictator."
"You are such a far-sighted dictator, but you still haven't answered me, what is your ideal?" Valery teased.
"Is it ideal?" Zhu Tian smiled.
"This is just a personal question. If it's inconvenient, please forget about it." When Zhu Tian didn't answer, Valery said politely.
"It's not inconvenient. In the past, it was just to make more money, but now..." Zhu Tian waved his hand, paused, and continued: "I want to see further places."
Indeed, as Legasov said, Zhu Tian has made wealth that he could not have imagined a year and a half ago.
Even if Daming Group does not come up with any novel technologies in the next ten years, the virtual reality business alone is enough to make it stand at a height that other companies cannot look back on. Even in a multi-polar world
In a world where scientific research is faster than the three polarizations, it is absolutely impossible for anyone here to come up with immersive virtual reality technology within fifty years.
If it weren’t for the Ark named Evolution sent by the Harmony Camp, which is on its way to the earth...
After sending away Valery and other Russian representatives, Zhu Tian immediately found Ivan and issued the order through him
Transfer the two frigates and two submarines to the military port on Coconut Island. There, the engineering robots will complete the "modernization" of the warships' weapons and equipment.
It’s December soon, and you can’t feel the atmosphere of winter in the Palau Islands, which is like summer all year round, but the wasteland of Jinling City is already covered in silver. Different from previous years, the entire Jinling City is no longer very cold.
It feels so apocalyptic.
During these days, Zhu Tian would occasionally go back to Doomsday for a visit. After all, there were too many people there that he couldn't let go of. However, because the situation here has stabilized, he did not stay here as long as before.
.
Occasionally I would eat with the girls, "exchange feelings" with Li Xinran, and pick sisters' flowers. If I just stayed in that villa, I wouldn't feel the apocalyptic atmosphere at all.
Throughout the urban area to the west of Jiangpu, checkpoints set up by the New Daming Dynasty can be seen everywhere. Looking up from a high place, you can occasionally see the Yunchi-50 patrolling in the air, or the Aurora-20 whizzing by. On the opposite side
In terms of control of Jinling City, the New Daming Dynasty already had an absolute advantage.
Diplomats from the New Ming Dynasty are currently negotiating with Lishui Town to discuss the inclusion of the east bank of the Yangtze River in the "protection scope".
The Liaoning's "Nurting Wave" shipborne electromagnetic gun can hit from the Yangtze River Estuary to Luzhou. It not only has a terrifying range of 450 kilometers, but also can fire 10-400kg mass bombs. It can be said to be the leader among heavy support naval guns. Regardless of
Whether it is the Liaoning or the technology of the ship's gun, Zhu Tiandu is determined to win.
If the problem can be solved through negotiation, then use it. If it cannot be solved through negotiation, then use force.
This is the rule of the wasteland.
On the other hand, the radioactive removal in the city center and the filling of craters have been basically completed. Although the gamma value is still high, people entering the area no longer need to wear nuclear protective clothing. They can only rely on the iodine or antibiotics stored in their personal terminals.
Radioactive drugs will make it possible to walk in the city center.
Due to climatic factors such as snowfall and ice, the Eden Garden project next to Jinniu Lake has temporarily stalled.
Jiashi occasionally encounters alien species migrating eastward, but with the First Corps led by Zhou Weiguo stationed here and checkpoints deployed along the way, Zhu Tian is not worried that those alien species will sneak into Jinling City and build their nests.
This winter has been quiet.
Because of the existence of the New Ming Dynasty, no accidents occurred in Jinling City.
Looking back at the current world, the international situation feels a bit turbulent.
The first is South Asia. As the Moro independence movement intensifies, the war has burned the entire Mindanao Island and even has a tendency to spread to Samar Island. At the end of November, the guerrillas launched a large-scale military operation against Davao City and successfully
A light infantry division and a light armored brigade stationed there were disintegrated. Moro leader Santos announced in a video on social media that the civil war has entered the second stage and Davao City will serve as the capital of the Moro State.
At first, Zhu Tian only funded Santos with a disgusting attitude toward the Philippines, but he didn't expect that this guy would actually make the independence movement more dramatic. Now he even has his own capital.
The reason why they are able to get as far as they are today is, on the one hand, because the combat quality of Filipino soldiers is not high, as can be seen from their performance during hostage rescue. On the other hand, it is because it coincides with the change of the US government.
The Philippines' largest ally did not intervene in the civil war, but did symbolic diplomatic work and sold them some weapons at low prices.
Seeing that the Moro Kingdom had hope for independence, Zhu Tian immediately changed his initial decision and continued to provide funding to them after they used up the batch of arms and supplies.
