It turns out that the two battleships sold by the Gili Kingdom to the Qing Dynasty this time were the battleship Fuji and the battleship Yashima, which had long been built for the Japanese.
It turns out that the Geely people spared no effort to support their younger brothers in East Asia.
The main reason why the Japanese country was able to compete with the Qing Dynasty was that the Geely Kingdom continued to provide them with loans, which enabled the other country to have the economic ability to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
After that, the Geely people sold two improved Sovereign-class battleships to the Japanese - Royal Sovereignty battleships.
When the Geely Kingdom was friendly with the Japanese, the Geely State needed the Japanese to fight for them against the Rakshasa Kingdom in the north, and at the same time, they wanted the Japanese to help the Geely State pay attention to the trends of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, they worked overtime to build these two warships.
When the construction of these two battleships was about to be completed, the situation in East Asia suddenly changed. Liu Hai suddenly emerged and defeated the combined fleet, and could even be said to control the entire Japanese country, causing the Geely Navy to also suffer considerable losses.
Therefore, the Geely people's previous friendliness towards the Japanese turned into hostility, so it was naturally impossible for the two new warships to be Liu Hai's help.
Therefore, the Geely Kingdom unilaterally tore up the contract and drove away all the Japanese crew members who had come to Geely State to take over the two warships.
Next, Geely State used their mature foreign policy for hundreds of years and sold these two warships to Liu Hai's mortal enemy, the Qing State.
However, although the foreign policy of the Geely State government is very successful, they have also made a fatal flaw, that is, they are too greedy for money. If they were ordinary forces, they would swallow their anger due to the military strength of the Geely State. But now the Japanese
There are bangs supporting her back.
Sanbon Gonbei was shocked after receiving the telegram from London. He did not expect that the dignified Ji Liguo would start acting rogue.
So Sanhon Gonbei immediately raised the strongest protest like the Minister of Kyrgyzstan, demanding that Kyrgyzstan deliver two warships immediately.
However, the Minister of Kyrgyzstan ignored his request at all and told them directly that this was a decision made by London. If they wanted to change it, they should discuss it with London conveniently.
So he had no choice but to send an envoy to the Kyrgyzstan country to lobby the Kyrgyzstan government, hoping to change its decision.
But these efforts were in vain. After nearly a month of hard work, the reply given by the Gili government was still that the two warships would be given priority to their allies, and their warships would be postponed indefinitely.
The last three had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and ask the Geely government to refund the money spent on the warships.
After all, these two battleships cost them almost all their funds. Even the king at that time only had one meal to support the construction of these two battleships.
Unexpectedly, the Geely government ignored them at all, and gave them a clear answer that the contract between the two parties had not been terminated. The Geely government would only build two warships for them at the appropriate time, so the cost could not be refunded.
The Gili government does this kind of rogue thing not just once or twice. Relying on their strong naval strength, they often do things like seize warships of other countries.
In the near future, the Gili government seized two Turkish battleships, causing them to become one of the allies formed by the Will.
As a result, all the diplomatic efforts of Sanbon Gonbei failed. At this time, they were powerless and had no choice but to approach their master, the Governor of Liangjiang, Liu Hai.
Therefore, the three powerful soldiers took the ship in person and arrived at Nandu after several days of trekking.
And our Liu Hai has not been idle during this period. Since he has decided to implement missiles in the navy, he naturally has too many things to be busy with.
The top priority before him now is to purchase new guided missile destroyers. Naturally, these warships cannot be purchased in the Qing Dynasty plane, so Liu Hai returned to the modern plane.
When Liu Hai came back this time, the first thing he did was to run to see his wife Wang Fang.
Although Wang Fang is pregnant now, her belly is only slightly swollen because she hasn't been pregnant for a long time. However, Liu Hai's parents treat the pregnant Wang Fang like an ancestor. They are really afraid that she will make a mistake and let her
Something went wrong with the grandson.
Therefore, now Wang Fang can hardly even leave the villa door. She eats and sleeps in the villa every day.
If other girls encountered this kind of thing, they would have fallen out, but Wang Fang is a very gentle and obedient girl. Since Liu Hai's parents are worried that something will happen to her, she will stay in the villa honestly, and the company
All matters are resolved over the phone or online.
After Liu Hai came back, he was naturally cared for and cared for again, and Wang Fang lay in Liu Hai's arms, enjoying Liu Hai's care and feeling full of happiness.
Because with the improvement of Wang Fang's status, the friends she now makes are all rich women. To say that these rich women are naturally very wealthy financially.
But emotionally these people are very empty, because all their husbands are successful in their careers, and almost all of them are not looking for mistresses.
But in this matter, Liu Hai did very well. After Liu Hai became rich, no one else except Wang Fang had ever had a hand in it.
On this point alone, Wang Fang is 100 satisfied with her bangs.
After Liu Hai and Wang Fang were tired at home for a day, they called Zhang Tao.
"Brother Zhang, I'm back. This time I have a big deal that I want to discuss with you."
Zhang Tao actually knew that Liu Hai had returned to the present, but he still pretended not to know, "I came back very quickly this time. Things went smoothly."
"Thanks to Brother Zhang, business is pretty good."
"What's going on with you kid this time? Tell me in advance so that I can prepare some materials for you."
Liu Hai thought for a while on the phone and then revealed a little, "Brother Zhang, I want to buy some new warships this time. I hope Brother Zhang can be accommodating."
After listening to Liu Hai's words, Zhang Tao naturally had no objection, "Okay, then you wait, I'll prepare some materials and I'll be there in the afternoon."
Then Zhang Tao and Liu Hai exchanged a few words and hung up the phone.
Liu Hai naturally continued to enjoy the happiness of his family, but Zhang Tao started to get busy. The first thing he did was to inform the superiors about Liu Hai's intention to buy a warship this time.
The answer given to Zhang Tao from above is that as long as Liu Hai pays for it and does not violate the policy, it can be sold as bangs.
Next, the Navy compiled some information that could only show warships for sale and passed them to Zhang Tao through the Internet.
After carefully reading the information, Zhang Tao finally knew that in addition to some new warships that could be built immediately for Liu Hai, there were also some warships that the navy was about to retire.
At noon that day, after Liu Hai had dinner with his parents and Wang Fang, he waited alone in the living room for Zhang Tao's arrival.
And Zhang Tao didn't let Liu Hai wait any longer. The doorbell rang around 3:00. Liu Hai went over to open the door in person, and sure enough he saw Zhang Tao already standing at the door.
"Brother Zhang came very quickly."
"You, a big customer, call me, how dare there be any delay."
After the two of them exchanged some pleasantries, Liu Hai let Zhang Tao into the living room.
At this time, Liu Hai's parents were also watching TV in the living room. When they saw Liu Hai's guests coming, they wanted to stand up and hide somewhere else.
But Liu Hai quickly stopped him, "Mom and Dad, you continue to watch your TV. Brother Zhang and I will go to the study to talk."
Zhang Tao also bowed politely to Liu Hai's parents, and then followed Liu Hai into the study.
After Liu Hai entered the study room and closed the door tightly, they both sat on the sofa.
"Brother Zhang, this time I have a big deal for the navy. I need at least ten new warships."
After Zhang Tao heard that Liu Hai wanted such a large quantity, he was very happy. Now the navy's shipyard would have work to do.
Moreover, if these warships are sold, the Navy will be able to recruit at least two or three more warships with the funds obtained.
"Then I wonder what the performance of the battleship Brother Liu wants this time is?"
Liu Hai thought for a while and then said: "Brother Zhang, although the missile ships I bought some time ago are very useful, they are indeed a bit old. I don't think they will be in service for long, so
This time I want to buy several new-style active warships."
Zhang Tao nodded. He knew that the six missile ships that Liu Hai had purchased a few times before had all been eliminated and sealed. Although these warships were said to have been well maintained, their lifespan was still there, and they could barely be used.
It won't last more than a few years.
"Don't worry, all the warships of our navy are open to you this time."
After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he took out a thick document from the bag beside him and handed it to Liu Hai.
"This is a catalog of warships that can be sold to you and their main features. Take a look."
Liu Hai took the information, opened it and took a closer look, and was immediately pleasantly surprised.
Because at the front of this information, there are 4 modern-class destroyers, and these 4 destroyers are not the original ones, but improved by Xia Guo.
You must know that although these four warships have been around for a long time, their tonnage is there, with a displacement of 8,480 tons. When they were introduced in 2000, they were the most advanced warships with the largest displacement in the navy at that time.
Although after decades, this class of warships has obviously fallen behind, after improvements, these four warships have regained their vitality.
On the current modern-class destroyers, the two-seat SA-N7/12 single-arm launcher on the ship has been removed and replaced with a 48-unit vertical launcher.
Since the modern-class tonnage is large enough, it is very likely to be replaced by a multi-purpose vertical launcher similar to that on the 052d ship.
The device can launch three types of anti-aircraft missiles with different ranges and performance: Hongqi 9/10/16, forming a multi-echelon air defense interception system for the entire ship. In addition to being equipped with a variety of anti-aircraft missiles, the vertical launch system can also be equipped with weapons including the Long Sword.
Long-range cruise missiles up to 10 meters in diameter can allow modern-class missiles to strike at important enemy targets in depth as far as thousands of kilometers away.
As for anti-ship missiles, this vertical launch unit can be equipped with long-range heavy anti-ship missiles including the YJ 83 and the most advanced YJ 12, which can attack as far as 400 kilometers.
