Chapter 2759: The sun never sets

Aircraft carrier, Expedition.
Ye Tianlong recognized the identity of the gambling ship at a glance. It was the pre-Eighties that the Soviet Union did its best to build the best aircraft carrier.
Only when the construction reached 70%, economic constraints and disintegration, it finally had to be postponed, and it was thrown to Uzbekistan as compensation by the former Soviet Union.
Uzbekistan, which was half crippled by the two superpowers, naturally knew that completing the Expedition was good for him and it would exhaust a lot of manpower and material resources.
So Uzbekistan simply ordered the expedition to dismount and stop work.
It's just that no matter how it stops working, no matter how many years have passed, it is after all a behemoth, a real aircraft carrier.
Many technologies are also top-notch today.
Moreover, only twelve of the two hundred countries in the world have aircraft carriers.
Excluding the twelve ships in the United States, the remaining 11 countries averaged one and a half ships, so Ye Tianlong was completely shocked by the gambling ship he wanted to buy:
If you really get this aircraft carrier, isn't you the 13th brother of the world?
This is a joke.
Ye Tianlong looked at Lu Xiaowu and shook his head: "Xiao Wu, don't bully me. I haven't studied college. This ship is definitely an aircraft carrier, not a gambling ship."
"If you regard it as an aircraft carrier, it is an aircraft carrier. If you regard it as a luxury gambling ship, it is a luxury gambling ship."
Lu Xiaowu was not surprised at Ye Tianlong's reaction: "This ship does not lie in what its shape is, but what you want it to be."
"Bullshit!"
Ye Tianlong got up from the ground and stared at the big ship on the screen: "This thing can be transformed by a billion yuan, it is definitely the overlord of the sea."
The semi-finished products made by Xiong Guoren's painstaking efforts, once re-improved and put on the horse, can completely slap 90% of the countries in the world.
"No matter how it changes, its essence is an aircraft carrier."
"With my eldest brother's character, it must be that the drunkard is not interested in drinking. I want to make a gambling boat. A 20,000-ton boat is enough. Why buy this 70,000-ton thing?"
"Xiao Wu, tell me honestly, is my elder brother repairing the plank road and crossing Chencang secretly?"
Ye Tianlong's eyes burst into light: "Does it use this gambling ship to open the technical blockade?"
"The Expedition has been abandoned for many years. Uzbekistan not only has to give it a place to dock, but also spends a lot of money every year for basic maintenance."
Lu Xiaowu said softly: "Uzbekistan has long wanted to dump this thing, but many Western countries have refused to buy it, and they don't want the price of cabbage."
"They have enough shelter in the United States, how can they spend more money to support aircraft carriers?"
"So Uzbekistan can only be a dead horse doctor, and the whole world conducts open bidding, hoping to solve the problem at hand.
"Of course, according to the rules, Uzbekistan's armaments are not allowed to be sold to Huaxia officials, lest Huaxia use them for military purposes."
She sighed softly: "But in order to be able to sell it at a good price, they allow China Private Enterprises to participate, but they will add no military clauses."
"My elder brother is not convenient for them to come forward, so they want me to bid as a casino?"
Ye Tianlong recalled the bit by bit when he entered the Australian city, and couldn't help feeling that Zhao Ditian's routine was deeper than he thought:
Lu Xiaowu chuckled and nodded: "For two reasons, one is that Huaxia officials and related state-owned enterprises are indeed prohibited from participating in bidding."
"Second, you are the gambling king of the city of Australia. You run a casino and have a foundation. Buying the Expedition to use as a gambling ship is a logical thing."
"Although this casino seems to be a little bigger, you have a lot of money and you have six casinos. It's normal for the gambling ship to be bigger."
She poured Ye Tianlong a cup of tea: "It's the same as rich people living in big houses."
"It sounds like the same thing..."
Ye Tianlong's eyes flickered: "But Uzbekistan and Westerners are not fools, don't they worry about us tearing up the agreement to become an aircraft carrier?"
"To tear up the agreement is subject to sanctions. How can Huaxia tear up the agreement?"
Lu Xiaowu reminded: "China has always played games according to the rules, don't forget the Minsk aircraft carrier in the deep city..."
Ye Tianlong's body was shocked.
"Many years ago, we bought the 30,000-ton ship from the Nanhu people, and said that if it was for military use, we did not use it for military use."
"It has always been a theme park in Shenzhen City. For so many years, it has not been renovated at all. This is our credit."
Lu Xiaowu's eyes were calm, "So you stand up and buy the Yuanzheng as a gambling ship. Who has any evidence to question your credibility?"
Ye Tianlong was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "The layout is far-reaching."
Zhao Ditian is indeed a brilliant chess player, the next step, look at seven moves.
Ye Tianlong touched his head: "I'm just a little curious. Even if I win the Expedition, how can China use it in the future?"
The terms Uzbekistan gave to China are definitely different from other countries. Other countries can buy the Expedition for military use, but the Huaxia people will be restricted to death.
"There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."
Lu Xiaowu didn't tell the specific plan, but Yanran smiled and said, "Lao Zhao has arranged for the future."
"The top priority is to win the Expedition from Uzbekistan."
Having said that, Lu Xiaowu picked up the remote control and pressed it again. The screen showed a bearded general:
"Minister Ugo, the person in charge of the expedition auction this time, General Iron-Blooded, is loyal to the country and people of Uzbekistan."
"Because of his character, all bribery or threats are meaningless. He can only be moved by price and conditions."
"So we must give him a good price and convince him that this is a peaceful and friendly deal."
"We bought the Expedition to operate gambling ships on the high seas, not for military purposes."
"And we want him to show mercy. We feel that it is not easy for us to open a casino. Excessive destruction of the Expedition will seriously affect business."
"In this way, the Uzbek army will have reservations when it destroys the Expedition, so that it will not blow up beyond recognition and even the screws will not be left."
Lu Xiaowu spoke out what Ye Tianlong was about to undertake: "By the way, we still have competitors when bidding."
Ye Tianlong raised his head: "Is anyone interested in the Expedition?"
In his opinion, the people who should be there already exist, and they don't care about buying this scrap iron. Many people who don't have it can't maintain it and cannot compete for it.
"Regardless of whether this expedition number is needed or not, exploring the thoughts of all parties and raising the opponent's price is still in line with everyone's mindset."
Lu Xiaowu chuckled and replied: "At least eight countries are bidding with us now, including Nan Han and Dong Yang."
"Dongyang actually wanted to buy the Expedition earlier, but due to the suppression of the law of self-defense and the fact that Nan Han has been staring at it, it dare not buy it privately."
"This time there is an opportunity for an open auction, Dongyang will blend in, hoping to obtain some technology from the Expedition to improve its current ship."
"Toyo is blended in, Nanhan will naturally bid for it, even if it just raises the price to make Toyo bleeding..."
"In addition, there are also Turkmenistan countries. Recently, they have been trying to strengthen their position in the Mediterranean, so Sha Diao wanted to get an aircraft carrier to decorate it."
"But the most popular is Prince Mason who has been in the West Point Military Academy for 15 years..."
Lu Xiaowu pressed his finger again, and the screen showed a graceful and noble man: "Excellent wisdom, outstanding skill, and long-term vision."
"He wants to regain the maritime supremacy of the empire..."
"He once said: In our territory, the sun will never set."
