Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

While Bao Zixuan was negotiating with the Soviets to purchase warships and submarines, Zhang Zhan was also negotiating with the Americans to purchase warships. This was the former security minister of the Black Cloud Group, and his identity had changed at this time; Fucairah Armed Forces

Deputy Commander.

As for the commander-in-chief, it must be Chief Salad. Zhang fought against the United States with a very clear purpose: to purchase two Ticonderoga-class cruisers produced in the United States.

The Ticonderoga-class cruiser is the first main battleship under the U.S. Navy to officially use Aegis. It is equipped with an integrated surface combat system with an/spy-1 phased array radar as the core.

At the same time, this warship serves as the main command center of the aircraft carrier battle group and amphibious assault battle group, and provides protection for the aircraft carrier. As the number one escort force of the aircraft carrier battle group, the Ticonderoga-class ship equipped with the Aegis system provides excellent air defense warfare

The aircraft carrier battle group has sufficient power to resist missile attacks from the former Soviet Union's surface, air, and underwater forces. In addition, the Aegis system also has excellent anti-submarine capabilities.

It is not difficult to see from here that Bao Zixuan is preparing for the future. Fucairah must have an aircraft carrier, otherwise it will be a waste of time in this world.

In the mid-1960s, the U.S. Navy began the "Advanced Surface Missile System" program, which aimed to develop an advanced ship-based combat system to be equipped on aircraft carrier frigates. It would have excellent air defense control capabilities and could handle a large number of targets at the same time.

Effectively deal with threats from the air, surface and underwater, this is the Aegis combat system.

However, Fucaira does not necessarily require the Aegis system; for the shipboard computer system, it can be developed by itself. However, I believe the Americans will not agree, after all, they also need certain constraints.

You must know that the Ticonderoga-class destroyer is equipped with a mk-26 mod5 dual-arm missile launcher at the bow and stern. Each can load 44 missiles. In addition to the main standard sm-2, it can also load

In addition, there are two groups of four-unit Harpoon anti-ship missile launchers on the left side of the stern, and one group of MK-32 triple-unit 324mm torpedo launchers on each side of the poop building.

It can definitely be regarded as a powerful attack platform at sea. If there are no restrictions at all, then the Americans will definitely be worried. Even if it is sold to NATO strategic partners, the same is true.

Zhang Zhan first came to Bath, Maine, because Ticonderoga-class destroyers are produced at the Bath Steel Shipyard in the city.

Bath Iron Works is the second most important shipyard of the U.S. Navy. It was founded by Army Colonel Thomas Hyde in 1884. It has a history of building surface ships for the U.S. Navy for more than a century.

The warship shipyard was established by an army colonel. It can only be said that the strength of the U.S. Navy at that time was indeed not very good; at the same time, it also showed in disguise that Colonel Thomas Hyde was an all-round talent and all-rounder.

Although it was founded by an Army colonel, no one can ignore the technical strength and importance of the factory! From the USS Georgia battleship that was commissioned in September 1906, to the famous Fletcher-class destroyers during World War II, to the Ticonde during the Cold War

The Roga-class cruisers and Perry-class frigates, the future Burke-class destroyers, and the newer Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers are all masterpieces of the plant and are truly the "cradle of surface combatants" of the U.S. Navy.

Fucairah, the Middle Eastern emirate, is not as big as a city in the United States. It is also not rich in oil resources. With such strength, it is really overestimating its capabilities to dare to come to Bass Steel Shipyard to buy warships. But that was before

As Bao Zixuan invested in the idea regardless of the cost, no one in Fucaira dared to despise it at this time.

In addition, there are bonuses from Heiyun Group and Bao Shaofu, let alone buying a destroyer; if he wants to, buying a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier will be no problem at all.

Nelson Hyde, the fourth generation head of the Hyde family, is currently responsible for the operation and management of Bath Iron and Steel Shipyard. In fact, the Hyde family does not have a lot of shares in Bath Shipyard. The largest shareholder is General Dynamics. However, because of the

Agreement, and the members of the Hyde family are indeed talented; therefore, management rights have never been left behind.

Regarding Zhang Zhan's arrival, everyone at the Bath Shipyard still paid enough attention to it. The saying that the Prime Minister's disciple is a seventh-rank official applies everywhere. Although Bao, the richest man, did not arrive in person, the fact that he could send someone over is enough to explain the problem.

And everyone in the world knows that Bao Zixuan was inspecting the Soviet Union at this time. He went to two places in the past two days: the Ruby Design Bureau and the Nikolaev Shipyard. The purpose is self-evident. Now he has sent people to Pakistan, the United States.

Sri Lanka Shipyard is not just a comparison; it also means putting pressure.

In recent years, due to U.S. policy, many orders originally belonging to U.S. arms companies have been snatched away by the Soviets. Fucair must have sincerity when he comes to the United States to purchase warships. After all, with the current technical strength of Heiyun Group, it also produces

It cannot build large surface ships. At the same time, it is understandable that the Soviet Union purchased them in the past.

After all, the Soviet Union did a good job in terms of cost-effectiveness of submarines and warships.

The Soviet shipyards are having a hard time, and the United States is not necessarily much better. Bao Zixuan is a wealthy owner, and he definitely needs the best products. And he came directly to the Bath Shipyard and didn't go anywhere else, which shows his goal.

Very clear.

When Zhang Zhan proposed that Fucaira wanted to purchase 2-4 Ticonderoga-class destroyers, Nelson Hyde felt incredible. After all, this warship is the latest equipment of the United States. And it will become the most popular warship in the next twenty years.

Fucaira wants to buy the main battleship, but she really doesn’t agree.

If it is an old warship, the shipyard may still have some autonomy. But for this kind of equipment that has just entered service, it is estimated that only the White House and the Department of Defense can decide.

So I immediately reported this situation to the Ministry of National Defense. Although I really wanted to make money, I still had to fight for the military's opinion.

Secretary of Defense Weinberger did not dare to neglect and immediately convened an emergency meeting. But he was destined to be disappointed. The top military officials did not have unanimous opinions. So there was no way. General Dynamics was still waiting for a reply and could only report it to the White House in person.

Of course President Reagan knew what Weinberg meant. After all, Bao Zixuan did nothing behind anyone's back, and it could be said that the whole world knew about it. Therefore, CIA Director William Joseph Casey was also called to the White House.

At this time, the CIA director was also very helpless. He had lost count of how many times he had been called to the White House because of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan. Although the other party was a businessman, the CIA's investment in him was absolutely overwhelming.

More than a national leader.

But who gave this kid the ability to do so without stopping. He actually ordered warships from the United States and the Soviet Union at the same time, and made such a big show of it. It is estimated that no one in the world would dare to do such a thing except him.

But since they dare to come, I don’t say they are completely prepared, but they are definitely confident.

Secretary of Defense Weinberg first introduced the relevant situation to Reagan; he also introduced in detail the technical performance of the Ticonderoga-class destroyer and its future role in the military services.

Reagan thought for a while and asked: "Director Casey, what is Bao Zixuan doing now!"

He did not answer directly, but asked what the instigator was doing. As a lawyer, Weinberg knew that Reagan was not opposed to this arms sale.

Although there is no precedent for Ticonderoga-class destroyers being sold to other countries, we cannot just watch the Soviet Union eat up all orders. This will undoubtedly increase the strength of the Soviet shipbuilding industry and provide funds for the polar bears.

William Joseph Casey: "After the Paris Air Show, Bao Zixuan first went to Italy and purchased a Ferrari sports car in the name of Heiyun Motors. Then he planned an exhibition and prepared to hold an Italian product exhibition in Tokyo, Japan.

meeting."

"Then I flew directly from Rome to Moscow, and spent about an hour in the Kremlin."

"The next day I went to Leningrad and went directly to the Ruby Central Design Bureau. I learned through insider information that 12 Kilo-class conventionally powered submarines had been ordered in the name of Fucaira. There was also a sightseeing submarine project.

Cooperation with Ruby Design Bureau.”

"I left the Ruby Design Bureau and went to the Nikolaev Shipyard. The purpose is self-evident, which is to purchase warships. I am currently in the Nikolaev Shipyard. As for the content of the negotiations between the two parties, it is not yet clear.

I know. It probably hasn’t been finalized yet, but with Bao Zixuan’s style, the possibility of purchasing a large warship is very high.”

During this visit to the Soviet Union, no one was evaded at all. Not to mention the CIA, one of the largest intelligence organizations in the world. Of course, they are also the foreign intelligence agency with the largest number of spies in the Soviet Union. Even ordinary people know the whereabouts of the richest man Bao through newspapers.

.So this answer does not satisfy Reagan!
