Chapter 44 Sign the contract and return to China
When Lin Chenran saw the two huge battleships in front of him, he couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.
These two behemoths are the retired Type 61 destroyers from the Bear Country.
Type 61 (Cassin-class) is a general-purpose large destroyer officially commissioned by the Mao Xiong Navy in 1964. This type of destroyer is not only huge in size, but also well-equipped and can perform a variety of missions, including anti-submarine, anti-ship and air defense.
The Type 61 destroyer in the 1960s used the most advanced gas turbine at the time as its main power, making it the first large warship in the world to use this new power technology.
As time goes by and technology continues to advance, the Type 61 destroyers are gradually replaced by the more advanced Modern-class destroyers.
Eventually, these once glorious warships had to be decommissioned, ending their military careers.
However, at this moment, Lin Chenran happened to encounter this opportunity.
"Lin, how are you?" Kovlevich looked at the golden light in Lin Chenran's eyes and felt secretly proud.
He knew that he had made the right decision to sell these two retired Type 61 destroyers to Lin Chenran, which could not only meet the needs of the other party, but also bring a lot of income.
This transaction can be said to kill two birds with one stone, it is really a good deal.
These two retired Type 61 destroyers are actually not perfect.
Due to the limitations of its power system, the maximum output power can only reach less than half of the original, so the speed of the two destroyers is only about half of its peak.
Moreover, this situation cannot be repaired, so it was directly decommissioned by the Bear Navy.
This is not surprising, as the Bear Navy is known for its rough handling.
They drove violently and blew up the gas turbine!
One more thing, the Mao Xiong Navy has more advanced modern-class destroyers.
Therefore, the Type 61 destroyer with backward performance was replaced.
After all, it is better to spend a lot of money to replace the gas turbine than to replace it with a newer and stronger modern-class destroyer.
Therefore, these two Type 61 destroyers were decommissioned by the Mao Xiong Navy.
There are destroyers with better performance to choose from. Who would choose the Type 61 destroyer with inferior performance?
“Kovlevich, this is great!”
The steel on the Type 61 destroyer is a special military steel.
After Lin Chenran reassembled it, he dismantled it and remanufactured various steel materials on the ship. The steel produced was several times better than the ordinary civilian steel materials on the market.
Kovlevich "vaccinated" Lin Chenran in advance: "Davari, although I will trade these two Type 61 destroyers with you at the scrap price, the weapon systems and communication systems on them must be dismantled. ”
When Lin Chenran heard this, he didn't react much.
Because this is international practice!
Various weapons and equipment that are scrapped and sold as scrap metal generally have their weapons and equipment systems and communication systems dismantled.
"No problem, Kovlevich, you just need to make sure it has power and can drive it back to Yan Country."
"Others, I don't ask for so much. After all, we will dismantle him after returning to Yan Country."
Lin Chenran said calmly.
Kovlevich secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
Then Kovlevich took Lin Chenran to visit the site of decommissioned and scrapped warships.
Soon after, after signing the contract, Lin Chenran left Mao Xiong with a satisfied smile.
He agreed with Kovlevich on a time and would trade again a month later.
Lin Chenran wanted to return to Yanguo to prepare various light industrial goods for exchange with Kovlevich.
Kovlevich needs to report the situation to his superiors.
He knows that this road to international corruption is not something he can do alone, and he needs to find more partners and resources to ensure his safety.
He also plans to invite a group of "like-minded" Davaris to join his "camp" and share risks. If you encounter difficulties or problems, you can face them together.
When the time comes to earn enough money, you can leave Mao Xiong and go to other countries to enjoy a new life.
…
After returning to Yan Kingdom, Lin Chenran immediately arranged for his men to send telegrams to the Second Textile Factory and his own 077 Machinery Military Factory, asking them to prepare the required goods as soon as possible and send them to the Yan Kingdom border.
These goods will eventually enter the territory of Mao Xiong to complete the transaction with Kovlevich.
The previous batch of goods was limited in quantity and could not meet Kovlevich's needs.
It is also impossible to trade a large number of scrapped and retired tanks and two retired Type 61 destroyers.
…
Lin Chenran took the opportunity to return to the capital.
As soon as he returned home, he was called to the study by his grandfather to talk.
Lin Chenran knew that this conversation might be related to his trip to the Bear Country.
Walking to the study door, Lin Chenran knocked lightly, then opened the door and walked in.
"Grandpa!" Lin Chenran greeted Mr. Lin with a smile when he saw him sitting at the desk.
Mr. Lin raised his head when he heard the voice, with a kind smile on his face: "I'm back, sit down."
Lin Chenran walked to the sofa, sat down and looked at Mr. Lin.
Mr. Lin also put down the documents in his hands, stood up and walked to Lin Chenran. He looked at him lovingly and said, "How did you get out of the trip to Mao Xiong?"
Lin Chenran smiled slightly: "The harvest is good!"
"It can be regarded as helping 077 Machinery Military Factory open up the road to international corruption."
"Oh?" Mr. Lin didn't expect that his grandson could actually seal the deal with Mao Xiong.
"Speak slowly and let me listen!"
Mr. Lin became interested instantly.
Lin Chenran briefly told his grandfather what happened after entering Vladivostok.
"this……"
Mr. Lin was completely surprised.
I didn't expect Lin Chenran to break the situation like this.
And he also established a relationship with Kovlevich, the deputy chief of staff of the Far East Fleet.
"Chen Ran, you did a good job."
When Mr. Lin heard this, he praised him repeatedly.
Although Lin Chenran did not get the relevant technical patents and related production lines of the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine for the 077 Machinery Arsenal this time, he at least got a chance to meet the middle and senior management of Mao Xiong’s Far East Fleet. relation.
When the transaction between the two parties becomes more and more in-depth, it should be relatively simple to obtain the technology and related production lines for the 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.
Especially this engine technology has been eliminated by Mao Xiong!
Furthermore, the second-generation main battle tank of the 077 Machinery Arsenal is still in the design and development stage, and there is no urgent need for a 760-horsepower four-stroke V-type 12-cylinder V-46 diesel engine.
Lin Chenran's main task now is to establish a good relationship with Kovlevich.
Lin Chenran scratched his head: "Not bad!"
Mr. Lin smiled and cursed: "You're talking about your kid, you're still out of breath!"
"What's the situation with the two Type 61 destroyers?"
According to Mr. Lin's idea, that is whether it can be used in the navy!
