From arms dealer to king of war

Qiao Jia handed Igor to Nice and asked her to go with everyone to the temporary base built by P·B in Djibouti. Then he took Dorian, Ronny, Medical Officer Bird, and the others into the car together. Port of Djibouti.

What Qiao Jia asked Lao Zhu to prepare was not some amazing gadget, but a semi-scrapped 80,000-ton cargo ship towed from Greece.

After entering the dock, Qiao Jia, led by Lao Zhu, walked to a closed dock...

It is said to be a dock, but it is actually a huge pool that can accommodate large ships. After dragging the ship in and draining the water, work can begin.

Standing at the edge of the dock, watching a large number of workers busy on a huge rusty ship, Qiao Jia measured the size of the ship from beginning to end with his feet and nodded with satisfaction.

The ship has been dismantled with only a shell left, and hundreds of workers are working on the ship's cargo hold...

Inside the huge cabin of the ship, the ballast concrete filled in the front half has dried, and some workers are using steel beams to reinforce the hull and prepare to install a strong deck on it.

The second half is being filled with concrete, and the deck will be installed after reinforcement like the front.

The engine room and other things at the rear of the ship have all been demolished, leaving only the original three-story control room.

This thing is a large bathtub with a length of 370 meters and a width of 48 meters.

Dorian looked at the broken ship in the dock and said in disbelief: "Boss, what are you going to use this broken thing for?"

Qiao Jia looked at the construction workers with a smile and said: "I want to install 12 155mm cannons on it, plus the Avengers air defense system, close-in defense guns, and Javelin missiles for sea defense.

By then this will not only be our maritime command center, but also an airship take-off and landing site.

Do you think that with a ship like this floating off the coast of Mukalla, the terrorists inside would be very nervous? "

Dorian looked at the big ship in the dock, which was no bigger than an aircraft carrier. He shook his head and said with a smile: "If I were a terrorist, I would be scared to death.

But boss, how are you going to make this thing work?

By the time it is transformed, all the terrorists in Yemen may have died of old age..."

Qiao Jia was not angry even after being teased by Dorian. He pointed his middle finger at this guy and said, "I don't want it to move on its own. Let our fleet drag it away when the time comes.

As long as the deck is installed, the dimensions on this are definitely enough!

When the time comes, just drive up the Nora howitzer, Avenger anti-aircraft, close-in defense cannon and other things are all mounted on the vehicle, just drive them up and fix them and they will be ready.

This will be our maritime command center from now on.

The new airship takes off from here and can completely replace the role of radar by hovering in the sky for a long time.

At that time, as long as the air defense system of Al Qaeda is destroyed, I can get a few more airships to fly in directly for information networking.

At that time, Yemeni people will have to look at my face if they want to make phone calls and surf the Internet! "

Don't talk about Dorian at this moment, Ronnie and Medical Officer Bird next to him were stunned...

I’ve seen makeshift ones, but I’ve never seen such makeshift ones!

Mounting the Avenger air defense system, or Humvee, with a Stinger launcher and driving it onto a warship was the only thing in the world that Egypt had done, and it was ridiculed by all its peers after it was done.

Now Boss Qiao is doing well, even the naval guns are improvised.

Radar and communications are all supported by unmanned airships, and the command and communication system is all supported by Telos.

When this thing encounters an enemy at sea, it cannot defeat any regular warship.

but……

It seems, seems, possible that this ship does not have much problem controlling the surrounding areas of Mukalla with artillery fire.

Unless Al Qaeda can obtain submarines or anti-ship missiles, there is really nothing that can be done about this sea bathtub.

Even if they want to carry out a suicide attack, they can't avoid the princess's fleet.

Even during World War II, this kind of battleship could only be regarded as a beggar's version of the battleship. Because of the support of unmanned airships and advanced electronic systems, it seemed to be really powerful.

The width of Yemen's territory is only about 500 kilometers. As long as this ship approaches the coastline, it can directly chew off a large piece with a range of more than 40 kilometers.

If you are willing to use high-end artillery-launched missiles or more powerful vehicle-mounted rocket launchers, the range can reach 100 to 300 kilometers, basically covering the entire deep area of ​​​​Mukalla.

Is this okay?

The al-Qaeda organization can still think of ways to attack the supply channels or directly find ways to raid and destroy them.

But the cannon is floating on the sea, what can they do?

Dorian looked at the boss who was full of fantastic ideas and said in surprise: "Boss, how much are you going to spend to renovate this ship?"

Qiao Jia spread his hands and said: "The hull cost 3 million US dollars, and the internal renovation is estimated to cost 10 million US dollars. After all, I need to install electricity and air conditioning in every room and warehouse.

I asked people from China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation to help design the interior renovation. They made it very complicated, but I didn't care about that. I put up the shelves and asked Lao Zhu to find someone to decorate it as long as the strength was okay, just like decorating a house.

Time was tight, and there was no need for engines or anything else. The 'professor' got a lot of high-power generators, which were installed at the original turbine location.

If this thing could run on its own, many people would probably be worried, but it would be just fine now.

If the ammunition and supplies are full, everything adds up, well, 50 million..."

Dorian gave a thumbs up in admiration, and then looked at the cabin that was under intensive construction. He touched his chin and said: "Boss, can you open a window on the side of my room? I'm a little claustrophobic and can't see." I feel nervous outside..."

Qiao Jia was amused by Dorian. He gestured with his middle finger and cursed with a smile: "Can I give you another big-breasted secretary?"

With that said, Qiao Jia turned to Lao Zhu and confirmed the construction period with him...

There are only two months left before Boss Qiao's scheduled time. The time is indeed very tight, but Lao Zhu is very confident.

It’s true that Boss Qiao’s requirements are really not high...

The crew resting area of ​​this ship is ready-made, and after the engine room is cancelled, there is a large space for modification, enough to accommodate thousands of people living here.

The only thing left is that it can float and be powered on. If possible, it is best to install a few modified mining conveyor belts or elevators.

This approach of taking the spirit of make-shift to the extreme is not difficult at all for the extremely efficient Chinese workers.

Although there will definitely be many problems in the future, who gave Boss Qiao a universal toolbox?

If it weren't for the toolbox upgrade, the ship's transformation would have already begun, and Boss Joe would like to transplant Zumwalt's advanced artillery system to the ship.

But it's not bad now. After the battle, you can drive away the weapons on the ship and sell the hull for scrap metal to get a lot of health back.

Looking at the big ship with the front half of the frame basically formed, Qiao Jia nodded with satisfaction, walked out of the dock and stood near the sea with a smile, looked at the sea in the distance, and said: "I want to conquer this sea, who will do it in the future?" If you want to fish here, you have to ask me if I agree..."

Dorian didn't know what was wrong with his boss. He felt that as a loyal bodyguard, if he wanted to live a long life, he had to remind his boss from time to time not to get carried away...

So he pointed to a military port to the north of the coastline and said: "Boss, there is an American military port, and to the south is a French military port. They also have an air force base..."

Qiao Jia glanced at Dorian sideways and said unhappily: "Do warships care about fishermen?

I want to capture Mukalla and reopen Yemen’s coastal fisheries...

If those fishermen want to fish, don’t they need my permission? "

Dorian was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "Huh? Boss, is this what you meant?"

Qiao Jia, who was in a bad mood, said unhappily: "What else?

There are 150,000 people in Mukalla, and the surrounding areas add up to several million people. After driving away Al Qaeda, more people will definitely gather towards Mukalla, and the United Mining Management Company cannot afford so many labor forces.

It’s hard to grow grass in that shabby place. If I take down Mukalla and don’t drive them to the sea to fish, how can I pay for them myself? "

Dorian finally understood now that his boss had always been the far-sighted Lion King!

No matter where he goes, his ultimate goal is never destruction but construction!

The different ultimate goals make P·B so different.

It also allowed the guys who were working in P·B to still not lose their way after leaving the army.

Anyone who thinks like this is a born king.

In the end, victory or defeat is not important at all. What is important is that such a person has an aura around him and people will be convinced and follow him.

Dorian felt that his boss suddenly became much taller, so he smiled and said: "Boss, has anyone ever said that you are very great?"

Qiao Jia raised his middle finger at Dorian and cursed with a smile: "It's a little late for you to flatter me now. I was still imagining that I was the king of the Arabian Sea just now, but you ruined my interest." .”

Qiao Jia glanced at the Medical Bird and said: "Medical Bird, throw this guy into the sea, and you will be the number one bodyguard of the Arabian Sea King..."

Upon hearing this, Medical Officer Bird winked at Ronnie, then rubbed his hands happily, and lifted him up amidst Dorian's exclamations...

"Don't be like this, don't be like this, my mother ordered my suit for me in Milan...

It's very expensive, don't do this, ah, I'm going to kill you..."

Qiao Jia watched several grown men making a fuss on the beach. He smiled and sat down on the beach. He took out his phone and called Qiao Liang, who had returned home.

"Xiao Liang, how are things prepared?"

"Brother, the food and daily necessities are ready and will be shipped in three days."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry, it's enough that the cargo ship can reach the Arabian Sea within a month.

How's the new airship I asked you to prepare? "

"Brother, the new airship has been produced. According to your request, the size of the airship has been enlarged by one-third, leaving enough space for subsequent equipment upgrades.

The six airships will be packed tomorrow and will be sent to you together with the freighter.

Brother, the people at the shipyard have been waiting for me to sign the contract. Are you serious about 500 fishing boats? "

Qiao Jia looked at the sea in the distance and said with a smile: "Of course, sign and place the order!

Yemen is a very bad place. If we can, we must always give people a little hope..."
