CHAPTER XVII
Just when everyone carefully inspected the warehouse, Song Tao also put forward a bold idea, on the other side of the wormhole, directly build a section of railway, connected to the rails of the warehouse, and the train hung on the wagon and drove directly into the wormhole, which can greatly speed up the handling of materials.
The whimsical idea was so well received by everyone that they immediately contacted the company's headquarters, and Li Ming held a video conference with several company directors to study the bold plan.
After the research and demonstration of various technical parts of the company, we unanimously decided to instruct the company's human resources department to immediately recruit experts and skilled workers in the railway system and form a railway team to formulate the company's railway plan in another time and space.
After determining the company's material distribution center in Vladivostok, Hu Wei took over the work here, recruited workers locally, repaired and maintained various facilities in this military warehouse, and renovated several small buildings in the warehouse courtyard as office locations for the branch.
The next step is to form an expedition team, and enter another time and space through the guò wormhole to investigate Vladivostok in that era, although there are more than a dozen retired non-commissioned officers who have served in the military special forces to participate in this expedition, but everyone must not enter another time and space empty-handed.
Therefore, it is still necessary to get a batch of weapons and equipment through Guò Anton, only by entering another time and space with weapons and equipment, can we ensure everyone's safety, in that era, the local people are all ethnic minorities and indigenous people who are accompanied by mountains and forests all year round, and their combat effectiveness is very strong.
When the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, they did not use these ethnic minorities in remote mountainous areas, and historically had a contemptuous name for the natives of this region, calling them fish skin tartars, and their individual combat ability was very strong.
These people climb the ice and snow all year round, travel freely through the endless mountains, are proficient in hunting and fishing, bows and arrows and harpoons are their favorite weapons, and in such a harsh environment, it is dangerous to encounter them.
The next day, Li Ming and Song Tao invited Anton out, Anton has been in a good mood recently, and when he heard Li Ming's call, he immediately went happily.
When he was drinking to his heart's content, Li Ming felt that the heat was almost over, so he smiled at Anton and said: "Brother, I also set up a branch in Africa, and I also bought a small island in the sea, and now I am undergoing advanced infrastructure construction, and when I have made a profit, I will ask you to go and live there for a few days." When the time comes, the beauties of all countries will have all kinds of good wine, haha......"
Anton's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Okay, brother, when the time comes, I must go to see and see, and go to your place to enjoy it." ”
At this time, Li Ming's face showed a depressed expression, and he said dejectedly: "Everything is good there, but the situation is too chaotic, the mine I opened there has been robbed by the locals several times, and I have no choice but to hire a few mercenaries at a high price to guard it for me." Although I'm not short of that money, it's not a long-term solution, and besides, mercenaries are outsiders after all, these guys take other people's money, and they can sell me when they turn around. ”
When Anton heard this, he smiled and said: "I said brother, why are you so stupid, won't you form a private army by yourself, if you don't understand, I will help you hire a group of veterans who participated in the Chechen war, not only loyal but also cheap, the key is that they are people who have seen blood, and it is not like playing against a group of African natives." ”
Li Ming shook his head and said: "I have already thought about this idea, there are personnel, there are many veterans who retire in our country every year, I am going to find some people who know the root cause and send them over, and now I am thinking about what weapons to match them, I just contacted a few weapons dealers, and I was about to talk to them." ”
Anton thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "What weapons do you need on the African side?" ”
Li Ming raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then laughed loudly: "When you go later, you will know, the natives there are a gang of bandits, the weapons are simply varied, there are all kinds of things, the best weapons are AK and RPG, they have not undergone much training, and the war is a swarm of bees rushing up, once they encounter a ruthless stubble, they will immediately disperse, haha...... But I laughed to death. ”
Anton and Song Tao also laughed when they heard this, Anton raised his glass and toasted the two of them, and then said with a smile: "Brother, you haven't said what weapon you want." ”
Li Ming thought for a while and said: "Individual weapons just need to be said in the past, get some retired old guns, heavy machine guns are enough, a few shots can scare those turtles to death, and if the heavy machine guns are so sudden, they will have to go around me in the future."
And then there's my island, where pirates are rampant, these turtles are really poor and crazy, a few fishing boats dare to grab cargo ships on RPGs, and last month I kidnapped my workers on the island, and I spent money to ransom them back.
I'm going to have to get a couple of ships, and I'm contacting our navy to see if there's a decommissioned landing ship, buy two, put a few cannons, and I'll drive the landing ship to destroy all the pirates around my island. ”
Anton laughed when he heard this, and then said confidently: "Brother, I don't dare to say anything else, the light weapons and decommissioned old artillery you talked about, you can get it from me, we have several combat warehouses near Vladivostok, as long as you are willing to spend money, what you want, these depots are pouring out a lot of things, anyway, they are all decommissioned old goods." But they may not dare to sell high-tech equipment such as missiles and radars, and I have been to those warehouses, and I have dozens of AKs at home.
The old ships are even more fine, tomorrow I will take you to the big Kamen, where there is a Pacific Fleet overhaul yard, piled up with a lot of old ships waiting to be dismantled, all of which have been decommissioned over the years, you buy them as scrap steel, and then spend some money to repair the ship, install a few old guns, not to mention dealing with pirates, even if you are a pirate yourself."
Anton's words made Li Ming and Song Tao's eyes suddenly light up, they didn't expect such a good thing, and hurriedly began to raise their glasses and drink with Anton again.
The next day, Anton took Li Ming and Song Tao, as well as Qiao Haipeng and others, on his private yacht, and went directly to the Greater Kamen, east of Vladivostok, which is dominated by machinery manufacturing, and the main enterprises are shipyards and ship repair yards.
Anton's yacht sailed into a dock in Grand Kamen, where they were greeted by several men in Russian naval uniforms who led them around the adjacent shipyard, which was full of dilapidated ships waiting to be dismantled.
Qiao Haipeng said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the glorious Far East Pacific Fleet in the past would become a thing of the past, and these old ships make me sad." ”
Song Tao next to him said with a smile: "Old Qiao, what are you sighing about Lao Maozi's fleet, I always think that only dead Maozi is a good Maozi." ”
After listening to Song Tao's words, everyone glanced at each other, and then laughed.
Li Ming and the others followed a group of old Maozi out of the shipyard, got into the car and drove for a while, before they came to a dilapidated bay, Li Ming and they saw the scene in the bay, and they were all dumbfounded.
Nima ...... That's too much of a loser, isn't it......
I saw that the dilapidated bay was full of all kinds of warships, many of which had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, only a section of the bow was exposed, but they were all rusty, and the steel giants in the ocean in the past were now buried at the bottom of the sea.
This is simply a graveyard of warships, Li Ming simply counted, there are at least a dozen ships and submarines piled here.
Song Tao shook his head in disbelief and said: "These old hairmen are too losers, even if they don't dismantle it, they can sell scrap steel, and the warships are made of the best steel, just throw them here, it's really a group of losers." ”
Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "Xiao Song, you don't understand, it takes a lot of money to dismantle these ships, the most important thing Russia lacks is steel, and there are so many ships in service that need to be maintained, and now the Russian Pacific Fleet is not as good as a year, how can there be effort to care about these things." “
After crossing this ship graveyard, they came to a dock in front of them, and a rusty ship appeared in front of them, and the things on the ship had been dismantled a lot, and looking at its appearance, it had been here for an unknown number of years. ”
Qiao Haipeng's eyes froze, and he said slowly: "This is Maozi's crocodile-class large landing ship, there are more than a dozen of them, and there are not many of them in service now, there is still one in service in the Pacific Fleet, it seems that there are also a few ships in the Black Sea Fleet and the Baltic Fleet, and the others have been decommissioned or dismantled, but I didn't expect that there is still one hidden here." ”
Song Tao's eyes straightened when he looked at the broken ship, and he said in a strange voice: "They don't want to sell this broken ship to us, this is a pile of scrap iron, don't drive it and sink again." ”
Li Ming also frowned and said, "Even if we can drive away, we can't ask for it, such a big guy must be very fuel-intensive." ”
Qiao Haipeng said with a smile: "The crocodile-class landing ship is full of fuel, and it can travel 10,000 nautical miles at an economic speed of 15 knots, from Vladivostok to Liaodong, a round trip of 3,000 nautical miles to the sky, and it can run two laps, but if you are trying to load people, there is no problem at all with two or three thousand people, if you squeeze it again, you may be able to decorate it again, and it will take six or seven days to go back and forth."
If it is replaced by another ship, there is absolutely no such efficiency, although it takes a little oil, but what the company needs in the early stage is efficiency. And in the future, if there is a condition, it will be transformed into a steam engine as power, then we can burn coal, and we will no longer have to worry about its fuel. ”
At this time, Anton and a few hairy people came over, Anton turned around and pointed to the rusty giant ship and said: "This ship has been in service for 74 years, and it has been here for more than ten years.
Just give a couple of them a sum of money, haha...... They can promise to completely repair the ship, but the radar missiles and the weapons on the ship are no longer available, and the oil extractors used by this ship have a few brand new ones in the combat readiness depot, and they can also replace them for you for free. ”
