Chapter 359 Torpedoes

"What I have to do is to send a large ship with a displacement of 8,000 tons into the seabed, so what I need is powerful enough. I don't care what to use."

After hearing Gao Yang's words, Ivan shrugged and said, "The eight thousand tons are not very big, anti-ship missiles, torpedoes, mines, and these three things are fine."

Gao Yang leaned forward slightly and said, "That's right, I need to rush to the Antarctic Ocean. No matter whether the ship I want to kill is in the South Atlantic Ocean or the South Pacific, there are strong and strong seas, so small missile boats and torpedo boats cannot resist the huge waves there, so what I think is to use mines, which seems to be easier to achieve."

Da Ivan said disapprovingly: "The price of mines is very cheap. You only need a civilian ship to lay mines, but this not only requires a large amount of mines, but may not necessarily wait for your target. So how about a frigate? You have a very good choice. Riga-class frigate, with a displacement of 1,500 tons, equipped with three 100 mm naval guns, and a triple-mounted 533 mm torpedo launcher. I have one. As long as you have a $5 million, it is guaranteed that the ship can be driven. You can only need the torpedo on it, right?

Another option is the Nanuchika missile boat type 2, with a displacement of 660 tons, equipped with six SS-N-9 missiles, killing an 8,000-ton civilian ship. Haha, a little bit, although this missile boat was retired in 1992, I also guarantee that the ship can be activated and radar and electronic equipment can be used. Of course, there is no problem with the missile. The price is only 8 million US dollars.

In terms of price, these two ships and the weapons equipped are equivalent to super low prices for selling scrap steel. You can't find this more suitable and cheaper weapon system."

Gao Yang shook his head and said, "I need to go to the Antarctic Ocean, and I have to search for that ship. I won't say whether the two warships you mentioned have such a long range. The question is, how can I drive the two warships to the Antarctic Ocean without attracting other people's attention? Also, no one can use them, whether they are missiles or torpedoes."

Da Ivan shrugged and said, "You want to buy weapons, and I sell weapons and ensure that the weapons can be used. As for how to use them, that's your problem."

Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "What I want to do is to kill a Japanese whaling ship, which is the Nishin Maru. Of course, this is just the minimum goal, if possible. I hope to kill four of their entire fleet of ships, and that whaling fleet is located in the South Pacific. Now let's change our thinking. You provide me with a plan to kill Nishin Maru and help me achieve it. I pay you, what do you think of this kind of cooperation method?"

After saying that, Gao Yang looked at his watch and said, "In addition, I hope all this will be done quickly enough. Because the whaling fleet will leave the waters where they are currently doing whaling operations in as soon as one month, and I must arrive at Punta Arenas, Chile within forty-three hours, so we must reach a deal quickly enough."

After hearing Gao Yang's request, Ivan fell into deep thought. After taking it for a while, Ivan got up and left, but he quickly took a globe and returned to the living room. He placed the globe in front of the sofa.

He turned the globe from time to time and looked at it for a while, Da Ivan suddenly said: "You can't use mines. It's too difficult to use mines to achieve directional attacks. Using missiles requires too many supporting facilities, which determines that we can only use warships. However, using warships to attack civilian ships is an act of war, and it is too easy to expose our identity. Obviously, using warships is not feasible.

It seems that we have the only option left. Torpedoes do not require fire control radar, do not require too many people, only a torpedo boat personnel is enough. Moreover, we do not need warships, installing torpedo launchers on a civilian ship and an ocean-going fishing boat can accommodate enough torpedoes, and not attracting attention. What do you think of this plan?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "I just need the result, just give me the result I want, no matter what I do. I think it is feasible to use an ocean-going fishing boat to add torpedoes, but I have a question. How long will it take to move the torpedo to the fishing boat and then rush to the Antarctic Ocean?"

After thinking for a while, Ivan said in a deep voice: "Ten days, up to ten days, and it may take less time."

Gao Yang thought for a moment and said, "The time is enough, so how much does this solution cost? As far as I know, the price of torpedoes is more expensive than missiles, and it also requires a complex control system. So what type of torpedo are you going to use? Line-guided torpedoes, self-guided torpedoes, or composite-guided torpedoes?"

Da Ivan smiled and said, "What a joke? You are going to hit a civilian ship, so you can use such advanced torpedoes there. Direct flight torpedoes are enough. Just one is needed. It is no problem to send the Rishin Maru to the seabed. And the most important thing is that direct flight torpedoes do not require such equipment. Just load the torpedo launch tube onto the fishing boat, find the target and launch it, and everything is done."

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know much about torpedoes, but as far as I know, it seems that no country is still using direct flight torpedoes? Are you sure the direct flight torpedoes you found now can still be used?"

Da Ivan smiled and said, "No problem. During the British-Ama War, the British nuclear submarine sank an Argentine cruiser with a direct flight torpedo, so you can definitely find a direct flight torpedo that can be used, you don't need to consider this."

Gao Yang immediately said: "Very good, just do it, so how much do you think it will cost?"

Da Ivan immediately said: "A boat, I happen to know that there is a suitable boat that can be used for very good camouflage. It costs 5 million US dollars, a 533mm large direct flight torpedo, 500,000 US dollars. This price may fluctuate. In order to allow the torpedo to be installed on a fishing boat as soon as possible, I may need to purchase torpedoes from different channels. If you want to sink four ships, then install six torpedoes, and tentatively set to three million US dollars. In addition, one million US dollars are used to recruit people. One million is the cost of modification and transportation, so the cost should be ten million US dollars."

The price of Da Ivan was so low that Gao Yang imagined. He thought that torpedoes alone would have to be tens of millions. It must be known that there are about 30 countries in the world that can build missiles, but now there are countries that can independently develop and manufacture torpedoes. As long as they can be made, no matter how high or low the quality of the torpedoes are, there are only eight countries.

Modern torpedoes are much more expensive than missiles, but direct torpedoes will definitely be very cheap. Because direct torpedoes do not have guidance devices, they can only sail in a straight line after being fired from the launch tube, and they can be fired when they hit the enemy ships. Even if they can't be killed, such torpedoes were used during World War II and were basically eliminated in the torpedo sequences of major powers in combat against the enemy. The only reason for their reservation is that they are cheaper, so they are reserved for commercial ships.

After considering his own family, Gao Yang felt that it was not too much pressure to give out 10 million US dollars. He smiled and said, "It's very good, 10 million, this is a very good price."

Big Ivan shook his head and smiled, "What are you thinking. I said, this is just the cost price, Mr. Ram, if I give you all these things and you can do everything left by yourself, then I can sell these things to you at the cost price. But if you need me to operate it yourself and send someone to sink that fleet, at least $30 million."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Thirty million? This price is too high."

Da Ivan said with a serious face: "It's not high at all. Please imagine what consequences will be caused if a Japanese civilian ship sinks? Haven't you considered the subsequent impact of Masaharu? This will be a big event that will cause a sensation in the world. If there is no sufficient profit. Sorry, I will never be able to put myself in the storm that will inevitably strike."

Gao Yang knew that Ivan was right, and he knew that it was impossible to accomplish this by himself. First of all, he had nowhere to recruit crew members, especially professional personnel who knew how to operate and use torpedoes. Even if he got a long-distance fishing boat equipped with torpedoes, he would not use it at all. Secondly, if he didn't want to be wanted by the whole world, it would be better to erase all the traces, which he consciously could not do at all, but if he gave all these things to Ivan, he would not have to worry about it, just prepare a large amount of money.

After thinking for a while, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Can you reveal your specific action plan?"

"The target fleet is in the South Pacific, so, I need fishing boats in South America, and within a short enough time, I will find the torpedo and install the torpedo tube onto the fishing boat, and then the fishing boat will set out directly in South America and reach the South Pacific Ocean with the shortest voyage."

Gao Yang took a breath and said, "Mr. Iwan, I know that the price you quoted is not high. I think no one in the world can do it, and compared to the risks of this matter, what you gave is really a friendly price."

Gao Yang's compliment made Da Ivan very helpful. He smiled and said, "You are right. No one can guarantee that you can complete your request within a week except me. I need to mobilize almost the world's strength to cooperate in completing this."

Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, I know you have expressed great sincerity and kindness, but I still have to bargain with you. It's not that I want to do this, but that I can only take out 20 million at most. This is my limit. I have spent all my money and that's all."

Big Ivan immediately waved his hand and made a very regretful expression, but before he refused, Uri Yangko, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "Boss, Ram is a good friend. Now I must tell you the truth. Our business with the Somali Skeleton Gang was made by Ram, not all my credit as I told you. Moreover, Ram has the ability to decide whether the Skeleton Gang will continue to cooperate with us. I am very sure of this. You can also verify whether what I said is true. In addition, Ram is really a very interesting friend. I give up the commission in this business and hope you can reach this deal with Ram."

Da Ivan stood up, paced back and forth for two steps, and looked at Uri Yangko with a serious expression: "You know, in this kind of business you have a commission of 20% of the profits, so your words will cost you four million dollars and also cost me six million yuan in net profits. Moreover, this is the biggest business you can accomplish."

Uri Yangke looked difficult and said, "I know, please don't remind me how much money I will lose, I will not be able to bear it."

Big Ivan laughed and said, "The vampire Uri Yangkoken lost four million to help his friends. This is a miracle. You are a vampire who will not let go of a dollar."

Uriyangko still said with a look of pain: "Please, stop talking, stop talking, damn it, while I haven't changed my mind yet, hurry up and reach your agreement."

Ivan extended his hand to Gao Yang and said with a serious look: "Twenty million US dollars, I will help you at least send Rishin Pills to the bottom of the sea and make a deal!"

Gao Yang was overjoyed and grabbed the hand of Ivan, saying, "Disclaimer! Thank you very much for your agreement, Mr. Ivan."

Big Ivan laughed again and said to Gao Yang: "Uri Yangko is willing to give up four million US dollars. For me, it seems to be a matter of course to lose six million profits. Well, for Uri Yangko's sake, I agree. You know, this is a very rare concession for me, so you should thank Uri Yangko."

Uri Yangke covered his hand helplessly on his face and said, "Don't mention four million, really, stop mentioning this word."
