Me, start a magical system

At the junction of the southern and central parts of Asanyang, nine 10,000-ton steel giant ships were moving slowly, one in front and two in back.

In order to save fuel, the sailing speed of these nine 10,000-ton large-scale engines is not very fast, only 18 knots.

Looking from a distance, this is a very shocking picture.

On the magnificent sea, nine warships like steel fortresses were riding the wind and waves.

After several trips around the world, except for the three major powers, Dragon Kingdom, United States of America, and North Bear Kingdom, no country can possess nine warships of this level at the same time.

With the development of the times, the era of giant ships and cannons has long passed. Since the emergence of missiles, the most representative giant sea ships, such as battleships, battlecruisers, etc., have withdrawn from the stage of history.

In today’s sea, large missile ships, large submarines, and heavy aircraft carriers are the most deterrent maritime forces.

Due to the development of science and technology and the continuous improvement of shipbuilding technology in various countries, the cost of shipbuilding has also increased, even geometrically.

Take the Dragon Kingdom’s 055-class destroyer as an example. Building a 055 destroyer requires about 6 billion Dragon Kingdom coins.

Of course, this 6 billion is only the cost of building the 055 large drive. This does not include the costs of future upgrades, improvements, maintenance, etc. of the ship.

In general, the cost of a current state-of-the-art 10,000-ton missile ship from manufacturing to service to decommissioning is at least tens of billions.

Therefore, the Navy is currently the most expensive of all the major military services. Without some economic strength, it cannot afford it.

Even the Northern Bear Country, which inherited the legacy of its predecessor, has been resting on its laurels. It clearly has the ability to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but it can only watch because it has no money!

Even if the Northern Bear Country tightens its belt and creates it, they can’t afford it.

A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier not only includes an aircraft carrier, but also has to be equipped with fighter jets, escort ships, escort submarines and other types of above- and underwater vessels.

The total cost of a complete aircraft carrier fleet can be calculated as hundreds of billions, or even hundreds of billions.

In the command room of Scorpio 1, Liu Yu held a telescope in his hand and looked at the surrounding situation through the glass window.

It can be seen that many civilian ships sailing in this area, such as fishing boats, cargo ships, etc., are taking detours and keeping a considerable distance from these nine warships.

“Boss, according to the detection radar, several light warships are approaching us.”001 pointed at the small red dot on the radar display and informed this information.

“Several light warships, which country do they belong to? Liu Yu frowned slightly, put down the telescope, and looked at the surveillance radar.

The surveillance radar showed that there were four small red icons more than 100 nautical miles away from the nine Scorpion-class guided missile destroyers, which showed that the model was not a civilian ship. , but a warship

“Boss, judging from the sailing distance, these four warships should belong to multiple countries. They are not on the same route, and they still maintain a certain distance. It is obvious that these are warships belonging to four countries.”001 Detailed explanation

“Not one group of people, but four groups of people…” Liu Yu turned his eyes and fell into deep thought.

He was in Asanyang. On this ocean, the navies of various countries dispatched warships to patrol here all year round. Firstly, to combat pirates and protect The second reason for domestic merchant ships is to show off their muscles and deepen their influence in this region.

“Boss, Asanyang is adjacent to the Black Continent and the Petroleum Continent. The major powers have considerable economic interests in these two continents. The naval fleets of the major powers are also stationed here all year round. The four following warships can only They were sent by them.”001 made a rough guess.

“Don’t worry about them, they just want to find useful information. Besides, I don’t intend to hide behind the scenes. I have to rely on them to help me publicize it. Otherwise, who knows that these nine warships belong to me, and how can I sell them?.”Liu Yu smiled, without any worries in his heart.

You know, the full load tonnage of the Scorpio-class guided missile destroyer is as high as 11,500 tons. The four warships following are just four small ones, only about a few thousand tons. They are not Maritime ships of the same class.

Facing nine such big guys, even if they are backed by world powers, they can only watch and follow them from a distance, let alone provoke them.

Time passed, and suddenly an hour passed, and four medium-sized ships followed them. The warships are getting closer. They are less than 80 nautical miles away from the Scorpion-class destroyer.

“Boss, do you need to send a clear telegram to warn them not to get too close?”001 asked in a low voice.

He had just observed for a long time that the four medium-sized warships had been moving forward at a speed of 30 knots, with no intention of slowing down. The distance between the two was not very far. After a few more hour, both sides may be able to see each other’s ships with the naked eye.

“Do not care!”Liu Yu shook his head. He didn’t want to cause trouble.

“Well, is that a large cargo ship or a large oil tanker?”

At this moment, directly in front of Scorpio 1, about a few nautical miles away, a huge civilian ship was slowly turning. This ship seemed to expect that it would block the route of nine Scorpios.

Listen. Hearing Liu Yu’s words, 001 picked up the telescope and looked at it. After a while, he said:”Boss, the ship in front is a 200,000-ton oil tanker, transporting oil. The flag belongs to Korea, by the way. , the ship also has the words”Four Star Group Ocean” written on it.”

“The 200,000-ton oil tanker belongs to the Four Star Group of Korea.”Liu Yu muttered to himself, with a malicious look in his eyes.

Liu Yu didn’t have a good impression of Korea, and the Four Star Group was a famous conglomerate in Korea.

At the same time, Four Star The group is also the largest multinational enterprise group in Korea.

Its business involves many fields such as electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry, military industry, and shipbuilding.

When it comes to Four Star Group, many people think that it is just a home appliance factory that makes mobile phones, LCDs, etc.

Monitors, washing machines, refrigerators, etc.

It can only be said that you are too young.

This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Four Star Group.

Statistics show that the Four Star Group has more than 500,000 foreign employees alone. In Korea, every 100 employees One of the Koreans is an employee of the Four Star Group.

Its annual average sales are between 2600 and 300 billion yuan, and its sales account for about 25% of the total annual GDP of Korea.

It can be said that, Korea cannot leave Four Star Group because it has long penetrated all walks of life in Korea, including the defense industry.

In Korea, almost any industry you can think of has the shadow of Four Star Group. If Four Star Group goes bankrupt If it goes bankrupt, Koryo’s economy and comprehensive national strength will regress for at least twenty years.

Seeing Liu Yu’s malicious expression, 001 understood and said:”Boss, the Ocean Tanker of the Four Star Group is turning to sail. Do you want to catch up?”

“Of course we have to pursue it. The Four Star Group is a well-known group in the world. Their oil tanker is not equipped with a guard force. This is very dangerous. Following the tradition of friendly neighbors and a narrow strip of water, we have to escort it. Otherwise, the Ocean Ocean will definitely encounter Pirates, this will cause serious economic losses to the Four Star Group, you know? Liu Yu said seriously

“Boss, I understand.”001 smiled sinisterly.

In front of him was a 200,000-ton oil tanker, which was full of fuel, and Scorpio 1 to 9 were running out of fuel.

Since they encountered it, they naturally had to help escort and attack it. Pirates, by the way, charge a little protection fee.

As for whether the Four Star Group is willing to pay, this is beyond the scope of 001’s thinking.

There is a saying that is very clear, the truth is only within the range of the cannon.
