What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 167 Battle Diplomacy
Dalyan Shipyard, offshore.

The Type 001 battleship docked for repairs and was waiting for dock adjustments, but the surveying and mapping team, who could not wait any longer, had already boarded the giant ship.

Although the battleship is outdated, China has no experience in the design and cabin layout of a warship of more than 7 tons. Transforming the battleship is a rare learning opportunity.

When the shipyard team boarded the ship, they happened to pass by Uchimura Tomohiro who was getting off the ship.

Gaijin, or the Dragon Group, really knows how to restore the original. Many of the signs and texts in the cabin are in Japanese.

Lao Zhang didn't know how to explain this, but Lao Deng was deeply moved and even helped him explain considerately:

"Back when the Combined Fleet was learning to lead the British Royal Navy, the navy initially practiced according to the British drill manual, copying all English commands, terminology, and even etiquette. Even the meals were imported Western food.

It wasn't until many years later that the Combined Fleet developed its own culture. It's not wrong for you to learn from the Combined Fleet today.

Old Zhang had a smile on his face, clenched his fists and accumulated anger, but in his heart he was secretly cursing the damn Nanyang Shipyard, even copying the text, right?

Although Tomohiro Uchimura was only allowed a brief tour before being driven off the ship, he felt extremely happy and looked like he was reminiscing about his past glory.

"Mr. Uchimura, I don't know about machine tools..."

"Oh, oh!" Uchimura Tomohiro laughed twice and said in a low voice:

"Please rest assured, I will definitely not break my promise, but I'm afraid a direct transaction won't go smoothly.

Dongzhi is currently developing a successor model to the MPB110, which was only completed last year. One of the units will be scrapped due to a production accident, and Fanuc, a partner with Shenyang Machine Tool Co., Ltd., will dismantle it and ship it as a teaching aid for only $900 million.

Old Zhang frowned: "One is too few."

Uchimura Tomohiro shook his head. "Dongzhi can't stand further investigation. This is the limit of our capabilities."

Dongzhi certainly wants to sell more, but the user group of this type of large-scale precision machine tool is very limited, the market is very small, and the whereabouts of each machine will be recorded.

900 million US dollars is definitely a sky-high price, but Lao Zhang is very clear about the current situation and has no intention of bargaining at all.

Moreover, considering the number of nuclear submarines produced domestically... one is really enough. Now the domestic underwater nuclear force is probably still at the rudimentary stage. There have been many accidents and fun things. The technology is far from mature, so we dare not expand production easily.

"Of course, we also have many advanced machine tools."

Uchimura Tomohiro suddenly said:
"Since your country is truly willing to cooperate, we are willing to provide more investment and loans to the mainland economy, and even technology input."

The Yamato was surprising, but for the Benzi, they saw an alternative show of goodwill from the University of Tokyo.

When the economy is developed and advantageous, they are willing to help, especially when the huge domestic market and business potential have been undoubtedly revealed.

If we can gain a huge market share, it is worthwhile to pay a little for advanced technology, even if it means withstanding the pressure from my father.

Dongda is eyeing the technology and capital, while Benzi is eyeing the market. In fact, in the past and in the next few decades, the two sides will continue to try to cooperate and then break up.

And now, the Yamato is an opportunity.

The Emergency Response Headquarters has been granted permission to visit the country, and the headquarters is eager to seize this opportunity to establish friendly relations.

Tomohiro Uchimura was also in the Countermeasures Headquarters, and they called this operation: battleship diplomacy.

……

Tang Wen came to Echeng Port to check on the training progress of the Friendship crew, and then he saw an eye-catching scene:
Huang Dongshun and Danny, two big men, were sitting on the dock with their upper bodies naked, with their shoulders hooked around each other, drinking beer, and they seemed to be quite speculative.

When I listened closer, I found out that Lao Huang had failed the physical examination for re-enlistment, while most of his crew members had passed.

Danny is also a retired pilot. Somehow the two of them got in touch with each other and openly drank and slacked off at work.

"Cough cough!"

"Boss!"

Danny stood up with a start, hiding the bottle behind him awkwardly. "Um, sorry, I just need a break..."

He was a little worried about losing his job, but Tang Wen didn't care, so he breathed a sigh of relief and sat down again.

Huang Dongshun saw Tang Wen and, not knowing if he was drunk, pointed at the Friendship and said:
"Brother Tang, you already have the cannons and planes, how about I drive the boat for you, burp~"

Tang Wen's face twitched, but he sat down, opened his beer, and got down to business:

"I have secured an island in Nansha. The Friendship will go out to sea next week to scout the area in advance. We can bring three fishing boats, but they must be large ones."

"The Fudong needs to be repaired temporarily and cannot go out to sea."

Huang Dongshun rejected his kindness:

"And Nansha... can you stay longer? Maybe two or three months."

"This might be more troublesome. We can do it in about a month when we go out to sea, but not on the Friendship."

Gai Jin's entry into the Nansha Islands will definitely not be smooth. Tang Wen is afraid that innocent people will be affected. Now only the Friendship ship can go out to sea. An escort ship can only be added after the remaining 30 crew members come out safely.

Huang Dongshun: "A month's operating cycle is actually not that long. For a large ship of over a thousand tons, it is normal to be at sea for half a year. I want to try to join the ocean-going fleet and go to the South Pacific."

"What ocean-going fleet?"

Tang Wen was still a layman in the fishing industry. After learning more about it, he found out that China had been organizing ocean-going fleets for a long time, and had reached agreements with many regions rich in fishery resources such as Papua New Guinea, Peru, and Mao Zedong, and regularly organized fleets to fish.

The fishery resources in those areas are extremely rich, but they need large ships capable of ocean voyages, and official forces are always insufficient.

After Gaijin sold the thousand-ton fishing boat, the organization that organized the fleet took the initiative to contact them.

A fishing fleet of this level can go out to sea for more than half a year, and a large ship can earn 10 or 20 million yuan. This is actually easier than frequent "nearshore" fishing.

Although a profit share is required after signing the agreement, a transaction in black and white is less likely to cause disputes, and you can work with peace of mind.

Tang Wen said nothing and looked towards the south with an expressionless face.

The near sea is not as stable as the far sea. What a problem!
"But there are still many people in the joint defense team who have plans. If you just make a phone call and tell them, it will be easy to move three boats."

Huang Dongshun was afraid that Tang Wen would be disappointed, so he quickly added.

Tang Wen just nodded, thinking that he would send it to the group right away... Well, there is no group chat yet, and it is still too early for smartphones. Is Steve Jobs selling iPods?

"Do you think I can buy Apple with 2 billion now?"

Huang Dongshun was a little surprised: "Why are apples so expensive? Is the skin made of gold or is the core made of gold?"

"Ahem, it was a slip of the tongue."

Ignoring Huang Dongshun, Tang Wen asked Danny how his seaplane training was going.

The latter immediately puffed out his chest and said that he could do twenty somersaults in a row without any problem, and that he had already practiced catapult takeoff five times.

The Zero-type submarine reconnaissance aircraft is very easy to control and it is easy for Danny to use it.

Tang Wen went on board to inspect the sailors again... The sailors' proficiency has already met the requirements for going to sea.

The captain of the Friendship was the recruited Chinese captain Frank Ding, who was called Ding Yidu by the crew. He looked like a thin, dark and honest man.

The Dongjiang Joint Defense Fleet organized by Echeng has been recognized by the Navy and has even started to be numbered. A separate 400-number segment was opened in the fishing vessel category. The Friendship was assigned the (Fishing Joint Defense) 402 ship, and the Civilization and Xinfeng built in the dock were assigned the (Fishing Joint Defense) 401 and (Fishing Joint Defense) 403 ships.

Now, Ship 402 of the Dongjiang Joint Defense Fleet has completed its running-in and is waiting to attack the Nansha Islands.
