"It should be. I originally ran an underground arms trading network with my father. So I was very sensitive to these large numbers of arms sales contracts. I remember it was in 2009, when the governments of Brazil and France signed a military agreement worth more than $12 billion. Cooperation and technology transfer agreement. According to the agreement, Brazil will purchase from France 5 submarines including 1 nuclear submarine, 50 helicopters and Rafale fighters.
This arms sales contract was very sensational at the time, because the order is worth paying attention to, not only its huge amount and high equipment technology content. More importantly, the order itself poses a challenge to some existing international game rules. "Crystal whispered.
"We are not very good at these." Lin Rui frowned. "This is a sensation?"
Crystal thought for a while, "Let’s put it this way, the international arms trade supply list is dazzling. As long as there is money and willingness, there are almost no weapons that cannot be bought, even strategic nuclear weapons. This is true. Prior to this, strategy There is also a record of the sale of nuclear weapons: Britain once purchased submarine-launched ballistic missiles from the United States.
But as a special case, nuclear submarines are very special. There has never been a supply agreement for nuclear submarines between the two countries before. The closest thing to this situation should be the nuclear submarine lease agreement between India and the former Soviet Union. And this contract is the first time that a nuclear submarine has appeared on an international military purchase order. So it was a sensation. I seem to remember that snbr is the code name of the planned nuclear submarine. "
Zhao Jianfei tapped his tactical computer and whispered, "I found it, you are right. The Brazilian Navy established a shipyard in Rio de Janeiro and built Brazil's first nuclear-powered submarine with France. The snbr nuclear submarine."
"I need to know where that factory is? What is its name?" Lin Rui said immediately.
Jiang Jian hit the computer and replied, "This is a factory called'Metal Structure Construction Institution', located near Rio de Janeiro. This project is part of the'Support Submarine' project launched by Brazil in 2008. According to the plan, France will send Brazil has provided four "scorpionfish" class conventional submarines to provide non-nuclear components for Brazil's first nuclear-powered attack submarine. Brazil already has uranium enrichment technology that will be used to power this nuclear submarine."
Lin Rui paced back and forth, "So it's not that simple for white gloves to come here, what do they want?"
"They have suffered huge losses on the underground arms trading platform. If they want to recover their losses, they must do something." Crystal thought for a while. "For example, get nuclear submarine technology, which can be worth a lot on the black market."
There are currently six countries with nuclear submarines, in addition to the United Nations five permanent members, India. The reason why there are fewer countries with nuclear submarines in the world is that the construction technology is complex and the possessing country strictly controls the leakage of technology; in addition, countries that require nuclear submarines need to have nuclear weapons, vast maritime territories and a global ocean-going naval strategy.
Nuclear submarine is one of the extended development achievements of nuclear weapons technology, but compared to nuclear technology with uncontrollable energy release, nuclear reactor technology for submarine with controllable energy release is more complicated, and it is regarded as the top secret by various countries and is strictly prohibited from outflow, so this technology It has been in the hands of five permanent members for a long time.
Sergey sighed, "The thought of the price of these materials, which will eventually be put on the black market, is enough to make people feel that their heartbeats accelerate."
"But this is unlikely. If it is true, the defense there will be very strict. Moreover, those French people are not vegetarian. The White Gloves are now alone. Even Deyang Company is about to fall apart. Why is he doing it? This vote?" Lin Rui frowned. "And I always think this clue is a bit unreliable. Old Zhao, what do you think?"
"I think so. If the Silver Wolf is in South America, it will be fine, but now he is not here, and many relationships will not work. And this is not Africa, and their attitude towards military companies hardly has any favor. We are here. If anything happens, you will be held accountable. This is not a war country, and we have no right to perform combat missions here. This is a rule." Zhao Jianfei shook his head.
"So we have to act secretly." Lin Rui whispered, "We stayed and stared at the movement of the white gloves in Brazil, and you reported the information to Fatty Long to see what he thought."
"This is fine, but you'd better not make too much movement, especially this is likely to be a trap." Zhao Jianfei looked at him. "White gloves are not so easy to deal with."
"I understand." Lin Rui nodded and said, "Until there is no clear information, we will not act rashly."
Zhao Jianfei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then let's go first. There are still those blue carp mercenaries that need to be dealt with."
Lin Rui nodded, staring at the piece of paper in his hand in a daze. Jiang Jian walked over and whispered, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing?" Lin Rui whispered, "Do you think the judgment about the movement of the white gloves is correct?"
"Stealing nuclear submarine technology seems a bit crazy, but White Glove has indeed been forced to this point. Because of the underground arms trading platform, he has been forced to take a lot of debt. If you want to stand up, you have to take risks, so is this news? Really, it's really hard to judge." Jiang An said in a low voice. "Moreover, this Brazilian plan has been put forward for several years. Although the construction will officially start next year, the design of most of the core technologies should now be completed."
"What do you mean?" Lin Rui frowned.
"If White Glove does have a plan, then he should have started the layout a few years ago." Jiang An groaned, "I don't say that the time is ripe, but at least it is much more certain than we are. And because it is not convenient for us to act publicly, The chance of seizing the white gloves by taking advantage of this incident will not be great.
Lin Rui nodded, and he walked back and forth, "No matter what, this is the only clue available. We will start to look up this line tomorrow to see if we can find the white gloves through this. In addition, we need Cobain s help."
"I have already thought of how to help you." Cobain said in a low voice in the headphones.
"Talk about it." Lin Rui smiled.
"I hacked into the data centers of some key departments and changed them a bit. Now White Glove White will be detected as long as he makes any whispers anywhere. This person is an internationally wanted felon." Cobain replied. "In this way, the police in Brazil are working for us. As long as they find white gloves during the investigation, we will get news as soon as possible."
"Good job, I know you have a way." Lin Rui nodded and said to Jiang An, "Search carefully again, don't let go of any possible clues. The troops will bring them back in 30 minutes."
