Mathew quickly stepped up to the ship. He was afraid that Li Yuanhong would repent. Once Li Yuanhong repented, he would not dare to enter the "aircraft carrier" alone. It was a military area, and it would be a waste of money to break through and be killed.
However, Li Yuanhong was accompanied by him with a smile. He didn't mean to go back or do anything else. He introduced him all the way.
"This aircraft carrier was originally a catamaran made by the military with the latest technology before the end of the world. Originally, it would have been completed in more than half a year. However, in the wake of the doomsday, the carrier had to stop at the shipyard for wind blowing. Fortunately, I went there, and I didn't let this carrier become scrap iron."
What Li Yuanhong said seems to be true, but Matthew didn't believe it at all. Although warships made by various countries are classified, those secrets belong to the interior of the ship, and absolutely not to the hull itself. Before the end of the world, the secrets belong to the ship itself Although Matthew is not in a high position, he has never heard of the news of building catamarans in China. To know that catamaran structure is also the technological frontier of shipbuilding industry, few countries have broken through the technical bottleneck in this respect, especially for large ships, which rarely adopt catamaran structure. You should know, there are many catamarans, but this kind of wide hull ships is very easy Broken from the middle by the wind and waves, how did China break through this technical barrier.
Mathew was suspicious. Listening to Li Yuanhong's explanation, he looked around at this special aircraft carrier.
Matthew looked at the ship and found that the biggest difference between this carrier and other carriers was that there was no island. You know, the island is the command center of an aircraft carrier. There is not only the captain's command room, but also the location of various radars. If the carrier lacks these things, it is no different from the blind cage.
And this aircraft carrier, not only has no island, but also has no radar system. Isn't it waiting to be beaten?
When Matthew asked this question, Li Yuanhong masked the issue on the ground that it was a military secret.
When Matthew went into the interior of the ship, he was even more disappointed. I thought that this boat was new. Although it wasn't that bright, it should be clean and tidy.
However, when Matthew went into the cabin, there were many places in the cabin, showing rust color, which seemed to confirm what Li Yuanhong said. The ship had been in the shipyard for several years and was only recently taken out of the shipyard, which resulted in the internal appearance of the ship.
However, Matthew didn't believe everything in front of him easily. He wanted to prevent being blinded by some one-sided phenomena.
So Matthew continued to follow Li Yuanhong to the interior of the ship. This time, there were more and more dilapidated phenomena. The paint was obviously repaired in many places, but the repair was not good. Obviously, these projects were not very professional. This time, Matthew believed what Li Yuanhong said.
"General Li, how much of this ship have you finished 'asked Marshall, and there were signs of the ship mending all over the place.
"Well, to tell you the truth, the ship's drawings are complete, but many processes can't be made now, especially for steel. You don't know that the ores used just now are imported ores. The quality of our domestic ores is not up to standard. But Brazil is full of ferocious jungle mutant animals. Mining iron ore there is just for death Li Yuanhong complained unintentionally.
Matthew a listen, the heart on the move, so Matthew said quietly: "then where do you import iron ore?"
"No, our neighbor Chao has a lot of iron ore, but the quality of their iron ore is similar to ours. So our aircraft carrier has been under repair. Now the overall construction has reached 85%, but the basic navigation and self-protection are absolutely OK." Li Yuanhong said without reservation.
"In this case, why not import ore from other places?" Matthew continued.
"Ha ha, this is the end of the world. We dare to sail in this sea because we have the ability to protect ourselves. If it is other ships, we will be swallowed up by mutant animals on the way." Li Yuanhong said helplessly.
Matthew nodded and said yes, and did not ask further, because he had a plan. As long as the plan was approved by the prime minister above, he would have made great achievements.
Li Yuanhong looked at Mathur from the side, and found that although Matthew's surface was calm, his eyes kept shaking. Obviously, Matthew had begun to move his mind. It seemed that he had a chance to mine.
On the surface, many parts of the ship were not completely completed, especially some military systems, which were obviously not equipped due to lack of materials.
Because it was at night, Li Yuanhong did not take Mathur to many places on the ship. Mathur looked at the ship, which was no different from other ships. Maybe the structure of the ship was more advanced, but it looked so ragged that it had no combat effectiveness. Especially in that control room, there are some monitors for external monitoring operation. These technologies are very simple. As long as monitors are installed on the outside of the ship, they can be realized. However, this method is very unreliable. Once the ship is attacked in a battle, these monitoring will lose its function. Therefore, the aircraft carrier will build the monitoring room on the island, which is convenient for observation and command.
So Matthew's expectation of the ship was completely lost. The so-called meeting was not as good as being famous. For this ship, Matthew felt the same way. He was very worried that these Chinese soldiers would sink into the sea with the ship that day.After a long journey, Mathur became tired, and the ship lost interest. After saying goodbye to Li Yuanhong, he trotted back to his dormitory. Then he took out his hidden contact device and began to report to their prime minister. He informed their prime minister of the news he got today and reported his plan to their prime minister.
And then there was the wait, until dawn, when Matthews was in his chair, asleep in his chair, and had not yet heard from him.
In fact, this is very normal. As Matthew was anxious, he would send a message to the prime minister when he came back. However, it was already in the middle of the night. The letter he sent was not an emergency military information. Therefore, according to the normal procedure, this telegram may be sent to the premier's desk for review in the afternoon.
Even if the letter is approved immediately, it will take half a night to get the message back. So Matthew sat in his chair and waited for a day, but he didn't get a reply.
It was not until noon the next day when I got back to the letter. After reading the reply, the letter gave an official reply to Mathur's plan, asking him to negotiate with Li Yuanhong on behalf of the Australian government, and trade with Li Yuanhong with Australian iron ore resources. However, the trade was not for gold and silver currency, but for force. The Australian government would reply to their city with the help of Chinese troops 。
After getting the approval of Shangfeng, Mathur was so elated that he didn't care about the night. After getting dressed, he quickly ran to Li Yuanhong's bedroom. Without knocking on the door, he tried to force his way into the room.
"Stop, what do you do?" The guard TV will not let this strange foreigner break into their commander-in-chief's bedroom.
"Get out of the way. I'm the special envoy of Australia. I have something important to look for your general Li." Matthew did not dare to break in. To know that these two men were much stronger than him. If they moved a finger, they might beat themselves down.
The men army still knew some priorities. Seeing how the foreigner dressed, he knew that this man was not simple. So he said to Mathur, "wait here for a moment, and I'll go in to Tongbing."
Then the guards came in and informed Li Yuanhong.
Li Yuanhong did not sleep at this time. He was also waiting. Yesterday, when he saw that Mathur had moved his mind, he knew about the iron mine. He might find a breakthrough in this Mathur.
Sure enough, just one day later, Matthew came to see him again in the middle of the night. Li Yuanhong had already guessed the intention of Matthew, but Li Yuanhong pretended to be confused.
"In the middle of the night, what's the matter with Mr. Mathew? If there is nothing urgent, let him come tomorrow morning Li Yuanhong is not in a hurry.
The guard transferred Li Yuanhong's original words to Matthew, who was in a hurry to perform meritorious deeds. Of course, he didn't want to wait any longer. So he said to the guard, "I'm very anxious. I can't be more anxious."
"Well, let Mr. Mathew come in and have a talk." Li Yuanhong is still not warm or angry.
At this time, it depends on who is in a hurry. The anxious party will pay more. This is the experience that Li Yuanhong learned when he started his business. Although Li Yuanhong was very anxious, he could not show any anxiety at the moment.
After Matthew entered the door, Li Yuanhong asked the guards to serve him tea. This tea can be a rare material in the end of the world. After all, most of the places rich in tea are still under the control of the zombies. Therefore, the annual tea production is very limited. Most of the tea consumed by the survivors is from the inventory before the end of the world. New tea, without any status, can never be drunk.
Li Yuanhong happens to belong to one of those few people.
"I don't know if Mr. Mathew is here late at night. What can I do for you?" Li Yuanhong asked in a very easygoing way.
"Oh, it's not a big deal. It's like this. Two days ago, you said that your country is short of iron ore, so I reported to our prime minister and he agreed to export iron ore to you." Mathew road.
"But I didn't tell you that I would import your iron ore?" Li Yuanhong still refused.
"General Li, you have to know that before the end of the world, the largest iron ore company in the world was in Australia. If our iron ore quality was not up to standard, there would be no qualified iron ore in the world. Therefore, what you are facing now is to cooperate with our government to win the iron ore, so that your fleet can become truly powerful." Said Matthew, eloquently.
"But we are not in a hurry to repair the ship. Although the ship lacks force, it is very fast. As long as we don't fall into a deadlock, I don't think any ship can catch up with us." Li Yuanhong said confidently.
