Qin Tao threw Wang Zha.

The old men’s eyes changed.

Is there such a good thing?

Yes, of course this is a good thing.

What is Gwadar Port? It is just a remote wasteland where some primitive indigenous tribes have lived there for generations and lived an isolated life.

For Lao Ba, it is too difficult to develop the economy. The existing sea outlets are not enough. They have long wanted to develop Gwadar Port, but they have no money.

Therefore, a few years ago, after the collapse of the Red Empire, the American company Uncol tendered for the Laoba oil pipeline project, with the end point being Gwadar Port.

But Laoba doesn’t have this kind of energy?

This, of course, starts from the Turkish Kingdom. The Turkish Kingdom in Central Asia is also an important energy country. It has the famous Adelabad Oil Field in the country. In this way, as long as the construction starts from the Turkish Oil Field and passes through the Imperial Cemetery,

It can reach Pakistan, with a total length of nearly 1,500 kilometers and a planned investment of 1.7 billion.

In this way, the oil and gas resources of the Central Asian countries can be directly exported to the Pakistani port through pipelines, and then transported to the Far East through giant oil tankers crossing the Indian Ocean. Therefore, the economic prospects are very attractive.

However, even if the Red Empire collapsed, Da Mao still regarded Central Asia as his own back garden. Da Mao would never stand by and watch. So with a wave of their hands, they directly bought out 80% of the oil and gas reserve rights of Turkey.

As a result, even if the pipeline was built, there would be no energy output at all, so the plan was terminated.

Besides, since the Red Empire evacuated the Imperial Cemetery, continuous civil wars have begun there. It is too uncertain to build an oil pipeline through that country.

Therefore, the construction of Gwadar Port was quietly terminated.

Now, Qin Tao has proposed that he can lease Gwadar Port to himself, so that he can have a large amount of funds.

"What do you want Gwadar Port for?" Mahmoud remained calm.

The purpose of a port is either to have a suitable geographical location and serve as a transit point for shipping. For example, Singapore, a small city in Malacca, has a geographical advantage. The same is true for the Oriental Pearl Tower.

Or, it serves as the country's external port and undertakes the task of import and export.

For Lao Ba, the country's import and export business can be handled by the current port. It is useless to build another Gwadar port. As for the transfer station, it is even less necessary. All the oil ships coming out of Anxi Bay are oil tankers.

It's not their turn to be transshipped at the port.

It was originally developed for the export of Turkey's oil and gas resources, but now it has come to nothing.

Is it to establish a naval base? Impossible. China’s policy is offshore defense. Where does it need overseas bases?

"Well." Qin Tao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "At present, it is indeed of little use, but after obtaining this port, we can unload some goods from this port and transport them to our country by land.

.”

Several old men present opened their eyes wide.

In fact, Qin Tao is not willing to reveal his trump card so early, so the construction of railways and oil pipelines can be left alone for the time being. However, it is only said that land transportation after unloading is still possible.

After all, although the road is difficult to travel, it is still passable.

"The Xingchen incident has greatly stimulated us." Qin Tao said: "So, in the transportation of certain goods, we would rather spend more time on land transportation than sea transportation."

Several Laoba officers nodded.

Yes, last year's Zhejiang incident had a huge impact. China's purchase of the Modern-class and the Kilo-class were all after that incident.

"Yes, you have reasons to obtain Gwadar Port." Mahmoud nodded.

"We not only have reasons, we also have the strength." Qin Tao continued: "You probably know that we built a shipyard for Parthia last year. Now, it is progressing smoothly. In terms of overseas construction, we

We have already gained a lot of experience. We can definitely build Gwadar into a modern port."

"During the construction process, related local employment will be generated. We will recruit thousands of local workers, allowing them to earn high incomes. After the construction is completed, local health and transportation will have great development.

"

Qin Tao extended many olive branches.

"So, how many years do you plan to contract? At what price?"

"At least fifty years. In terms of price, how about four F-40T foreign trade frigates?"

Four frigates, in exchange for the fifty-year right to use one port, seems not cost-effective. However, if you take into account the investment of the Mingzhou Group and the benefits to the surrounding and even the entire country, it is quite a cost-effective one.

.

After all, if there is no investment, it will always be an ancient and primitive area, and Lao Ba himself will not have the power to develop it.

Four ships, 600 million U.S. dollars, in exchange for fifty years of use rights. Qin Tao stated this condition, but only gave the other party a preliminary plan, because this kind of thing cannot be finalized in a few words and requires repeated negotiations from all parties.

, there may also be many people obstructing it, and it may take a long time to finally reach an agreement.

It can only be a suggestion now.

"This kind of warship uses Damao's weapon system. Will we encounter problems in purchasing ammunition in the future?" Mahmoud continued to ask.

There are few countries in the world that can produce military industry, and most of them rely on outsourcing. This kind of outsourcing will cause big problems in future ammunition supply. After all, Damao and Asan have a better relationship.

"Don't worry about this. We have purchased two modern-class destroyers, which also use this kind of missile system. It is impossible for us to always outsource ammunition."

You don't need to say this kind of thing too clearly. Just mention it a little and the other party will understand.

It doesn't matter. You don't have to go to Lao Maozi to purchase ammunition later. Our copycat ammunition is better than the original.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is the last question.

After seeing off Lao Ba's navy representative, Qin Tao continued to go out and watched Yang Dawei leading the fifth wave of people to visit.

This warship is not a cabbage. It must be weighed in many aspects. The main reason for attending the defense exhibition is to take a look, broaden your horizons, fall in love with it, and then discuss it in detail. It may take many rounds of negotiations before you finally purchase it.

Only those kind of old customers will be more likely to place orders.

For the Mingzhou Group, the Siam Navy is an absolute old customer. However, these customers have just bought aircraft carriers and are now thinking about supply ships. Therefore, even if they are interested, they cannot place orders directly. Now f-

The 25t frigate has not been delivered yet, and it is impossible for Siam to have any new frigate procurement plans.

At this time, Yang Dawei was accompanied by naval officials from the Pyramid State.

"Currently, there are very few warships using vertical launch systems in the world. Our warship is definitely the most suitable choice for you." Yang Dawei kept introducing there. Although he is engaged in technology, but

Now, it’s not bad to rush the ducks to put them on the shelves and promote them.

"Compared with the 053he we imported before, it has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes. However, my friend, if we purchase it, we have one more requirement."

"Speaking."

"Can we start construction in our own shipyard?"

Yang Dawei was stunned when he asked this question.

The two are considered old friends. More than ten years ago, the Navy of the Pyramid State came to the East to start construction and ordered two 053he frigates. This was also the first time that domestically produced frigates went abroad. Of course, they relied on low prices at that time.

When the other party came, Yang Dawei, a designer, accompanied him throughout the whole process, which was considered a friendship with the other party. So now, Yang Dawei is able to do so with ease. He is an old friend and is familiar with everything. Everything is easy to talk about.

However, after hearing the other party's conditions, Yang Dawei had no idea.

How is it possible to let the other party build it by themselves? This is a frigate!

"That depends on your purchase quantity." At this moment, Qin Tao's voice came.

Yang Dawei breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Qin Tao is here, he doesn't have to make trouble. Let Mr. Qin make the decision on decision-making matters.

"If you can purchase four ships at once, or even more, then when we sign the contract, we can stipulate that the first two ships will be built domestically and the last two ships will be built in your shipyard. If you only plan to purchase

If there are two ships, it is really unnecessary. The cost of building them yourself will exceed the cost of purchasing them from us."

Every country has its own special national conditions, and the Pyramid Country is no exception.

They used to be the big brother in the region, but later they were abandoned because they sued for peace with their sworn enemies. Their original equipment was old-fashioned, but later they began to move closer to the Western world.

However, their country's economy is not very developed, so when purchasing weapons, they have to weigh and compare.

China exports weapons without any political conditions. Therefore, they have also purchased a large number of Chinese weapons, ranging from fighter planes to warships.

in

the existence of a.

Moreover, they are also working hard to improve the industrial level of their own country, so after the introduction, there are often additional conditions, which is to produce it in their own country.

The K-8 trainer aircraft is one of the examples.

As for the navy, the Pyramid State purchased the Type 053he frigate ten years ago. They call it the Zafir class. The weapons on it include

1 Type 66 twin-mounted 57mm naval gun; 3 Type 61/76 twin-mounted 37mm guns; 4 "Seahawk" HY-2 anti-ship missiles; 4 RBU1200 5-tube anti-submarine rocket launchers.

When they were purchased ten years ago, the performance was not very strong. Now, it has completely lagged behind. They are very concerned about getting new frigates.

Therefore, in 1996, they obtained 4 American-made Perry-class frigates and 2 Knox-class frigates, which solved their urgent need.

In their sea area, there can be no tigers in the mountains and monkeys can rule the roost.

As for now, I don’t have it on hand yet, so I’m very anxious.

It would be great if this brand new anti-aircraft frigate could be purchased back. It would be even better if it could be built in its own shipyard.

Their idea was good, but Qin Tao put forward conditions for them.

At least four ships!
