In front of the deck guardrail of the destroyer Ice City.
Fang Zhenguo held the guardrail in both hands, looking at the sea and sky in the distance, with infinite emotion in his heart.
Twenty years ago.
He just followed this destroyer to go to sea to carry out the military mission of a lifetime.
Twenty years away, he boarded this warship again, and the emotions in his heart could not be restrained.
General Fang Yuan and Luo Luo came over and stood beside him.
The three of them didn't speak, they just looked at the sea and sky in the distance.
After a long time.
Admiral Rod rubbed the ship's side of the Ice City and said leisurely: "You came by a coincidence. If a few months pass, maybe you won't see this destroyer."
"Why? Is Bingcheng going to retire? But this destroyer is not very old yet." Fang Zhenguo was taken aback, very surprised.
Admiral Rod explained: "The military is negotiating with the Kingdom of Nidala to import the Star Source Mine. However, the Kingdom of Nidala does not want money and offered to buy our warships.
"It is being discussed above. Although the Ice City has not yet retired, it has been in service for 20 to 30 years. Now it is a good choice to sell it after retirement.
"Besides, the new-style 10,000-ton destroyers are also being launched one after another, and there should be new destroyers that will inherit the name Ice City."
As far as warships and aircraft are concerned, the retired major powers can indeed be sold to countries with lower military strength.
The tatters that the White Eagle Nation retired were sold all over the world.
Of course, for a big country it is tattered, for a small country, a Pei-class frigate is a main battleship.
Fang Yuan thought of the Pei-class **** fleet that he had encountered in the Mariana Trench before, and he couldn't help but frown and said: "There was no intelligence to show that the sunk fleet of God's Spear was purchased from the Kingdom of Nidala. Are we going to sell warships to Nidala now?"
"The import of Xingyuan Mine is indeed very important, and the price of importing Xingyuan Mine from Nidalla will be much lower than that of domestic Xingyuan Mine. The requirements of the Nidalla Kingdom are for warships, aircraft and other weapons. my country does have one. It’s almost time to retire the armaments, and now it’s really a good deal to sell them.” Admiral Rod explained.
"It is indeed a good thing to be able to sell the newer battleship, but I still feel a little emotional when I think that the Bingcheng will be sold." Fang Zhenguo began to rub the ship's rail with his hands.
Fang Yuan didn't have as much emotion as them, because this was the first time on board the Ice City, and he didn't have the feeling of reuniting old friends.
...
After watching the battleship firing guns and launching missiles, the students in the military research class and Fang Xiaozhu were excitedly talking about going back.
Han Youwei and the others had not seen Fang Yuan just now. They saw it on the deck at this moment and asked, "Where did you go just now? I didn't see you during the exercise."
"We have a meeting with General Rod. It's okay, you just need to participate in the exercise." Fang Yuan answered casually.
Fang Xiaozhu was also very excited. He danced and said: "It's fun to fire a cannon, but the little sunflower was scared away. She flew everywhere and screamed. At first glance, she was not a pirate."
The beef **** are the most excited, he was bragging all the way just now.
"Fang Yuan, you must have never thought of it. I used the Sombra Shield to bombard the ship a while ago. It was intact. Isn't it amazing?"
Eve squinted at him and said, "You can't think of it? You know what the strong interaction is, and you know that the naval gun can't penetrate the Sombra Shield."
Fang Yuan reached out and patted his shoulder, and said, "If you want to test the defensive power of the Sombra Shield, you should not find a naval gun, you should try a nuclear bomb."
"Nuclear bomb!" The beef **** suddenly widened his eyes.
Eve added: "Yes, nuclear bombs should never be penetrated."
"So awesome? Then I'm not invincible?" The beef ball suddenly waved his fists excitedly, with an expression ready to challenge the world.
Eve immediately attacked: "You think too much. A nuclear bomb can't destroy the Sombra Shield, but the person hiding behind the Sombra Shield is gone in an instant."
"What do you mean?" The beef **** blinked.
"It means...you are too weak." Eve ruthlessly destroyed his invincible thoughts.
At the end of the exercise, the destroyer Ice City began to return.
Fang Zhenguo learned that the destroyer Bingcheng might be sold to other countries, and when he disembarked, he missed it for a while.
...
The Eastern Navy is indeed negotiating with Nidalla about the import of Xingyuan Mine and the purchase of military weapons.
While training the acceleration efficiency of "Lightning Speed", Fang Yuan paid a little attention to this matter.
Subsequently, the military discovered that Nidala not only purchased military weapons from China, but also purchased military weapons from all over the world.
The aircraft carrier of the Northern Bear Kingdom, the fighter planes of the White Eagle Kingdom, France, Germany, and Britain.
The Kingdom of Nidala bought almost all arms from all arms exporting countries in the world, even the aircraft carrier.
No matter how you look at it, it is all about building a super fleet.
Moreover, the Nidala Kingdom brandished a large number of Star Source Mines to purchase, which made it difficult for the major arms exporting countries to resist this temptation.
However, if it is really sold, the Kingdom of Nidala will make a super fleet, who knows what he wants to do?
Because of this world.
On behalf of the military, General Rhodes led the diplomatic team to visit the Northern Bear Kingdom and the White Eagle Kingdom. He hoped that a consensus could be reached and not to export large warships, missiles and fighter aircraft to the Nidara Kingdom for the time being. After the situation became clear, he would do it again. Decided.
In this matter, the goals of several major powers are the same.
Because they don't know the purpose of the Nidara Kingdom's large-scale arms purchase, all countries may be threatened.
Therefore, the discussion went smoothly, and several major powers promised to wait and see first, and temporarily put aside the arms procurement of the Kingdom of Nidala.
This was a major event, and after it was completed, Admiral Rod was able to return to the East China Sea.
A consensus has been reached with the White Eagle Country and the Northern Bear Country.
Therefore, the sale of the destroyer Ice City was temporarily shelved.
This destroyer, which has been in service for more than 20 years, continues to dock quietly in the military port, so that those who have missed it can take a look at it from a distance.
The military was about to agree to Nidala's contract to purchase the warship, and the sale plan was suddenly shelved.
This made Nick Tesman, the prince of the Nydala Kingdom, and his accompanying officials very angry. They have repeatedly argued with the high-level of the Eastern Navy, but in the end there was no result.
In the end, Nick Tesman angrily took the mission to board the plane and left China and returned to Nidalla.
When the group of five people gathered at Fang Yuan's house, Eve was still very emotional about this incident.
"It's a pity. The old destroyers are about to be retired. How good is it to sell to Nidala, so that we have the money to build more advanced warships."
If the Kingdom of Nidala just wants to buy a few warships, it is indeed sold to the Kingdom of Nidala, which benefits more.
However, the purchase of warships by the Nydala Kingdom is so weird that people have to be wary.
