Chapter 144 I Want That Cruiser
Chapter 144 I want that cruiser (second update)
If the international rich people saw the gem given by Prabakaran, they would definitely try their best to take it for themselves. However, Long Yi is just an intelligent robot, and the deep-sea collection team has been constantly salvaging operations during this period. There are hundreds of gems similar to those given by Prabakaran in the storage room of Base No. 2, so this sapphire is nothing in Long Yi's eyes. Therefore, when Long Yi saw the gem in Prabakaran's hand, there was no change in expression on his face. He just reached out to take the gem and thanked Prabakaran: "Mr. Prabakaran! On behalf of my master, I would like to thank you for the gift you gave. There is still some time from here to Emerald Island. Take this time to take your subordinates and get familiar with this warship that will belong to you first!"
Seeing Long Yi leaving the deck with the gem as if nothing had happened, Praba Amy, who was beside him, immediately whispered to Prabakaran: "Father! This sapphire is rarer than the Indian Star. You can give it away if you say it. And the price you promised was too high? You know that we have just overthrown the government today. We still need a lot of money for the construction of the new government. You promised that they would be exempt from all taxes in our Ceylon, which is a lot of money."
When Prabakaran heard his son's words, his face immediately showed a look of regret, and he began to teach Prabaka Amy a lesson: "I just taught you a lesson before. If you don't reflect on what I said to you, you are still obsessed with it. The Seventh Fleet of the United States is the strongest armed force in the South Pacific. Not to mention our military power, even a few military powers in the South Pacific can compete. However, with such a powerful force, the other party would clean up and even prepare to collect the strength of the Third Fleet of the United States and the two divisions. In their eyes, we can hardly even ants."
"And the other party has given us a lot of weapons and equipment. I believe you should be very clear about the value of these weapons. Not to mention the weapons, just talk about the warship sent by the other party, nor do you think that the gem can match. As for tax exemption, how much do you think they can give us even if they are willing to pay taxes? Do we have the ability to ask for money from them? So with this, I might as well be a favor, use the gems I sent, get some benefits from them, and get some weapons assistance, and even let them help us when we need help. But now it seems that the gems we sent are not taken seriously by the other party." When Prabakaran said this, his eyes unconsciously showed a disappointed look.
After the disappointed Prabakaran finished speaking, he ignored Prabha Amy who was standing beside him, turned around and looked at the curious subordinates who were watching Sichuan, and shouted loudly: "I believe you must be very curious now. Why did we take advantage of the warships in the United States? Let me tell you the answer to this mystery. This morning, when we successfully overthrew the corrupt government, the Seventh Fleet of the United States launched an attack on our allies, but was captured by our powerful allies. This warship is the gift from our allies to establish a new government."
When the soldiers of the LTTE learned that the American warship was a gift from the Holy Dragon organization, they immediately became excited. Some soldiers could not even suppress their joy, held up the weapons in their hands, and kept firing at the sky to vent their joy.
Since these soldiers knew that they would see the captured American fleet later, they undoubtedly hoped that the warships could speed up and rush to Emerald Island as soon as possible. It was not until more than twenty minutes later that Emerald Island appeared on the sea level. Seeing the islands vaguely visible in the distance, the soldiers standing on the deck became excited and rushed to the side of the ship to look for the Emerald Island in the distance, looking for the captured warships.
"See it! That's an aircraft carrier! I saw the aircraft carrier!" At this moment, I don't know that it was the soldier who suddenly shouted, and all the soldiers' eyes were attracted by the soldier. When the soldiers saw the American fleet anchored at the Emerald Island Pier, the entire deck was boiling for a moment.
After the destroyer landed, Long Yi led Prabakaran to the dock. Looking at the huge monsters in front of him, Prabakaran was also very excited and thought to himself: "If these warships belong to our Ceylon, who would dare to bully us Ceylon!"
"Prabakaran! Sir! These are all gifts from our masters. You can arrange the soldiers to accept them!" Just as Prabakaran was looking at the warships and was amazed, Long Yi suddenly interrupted Prabakaran, pointed at the weapons parked on the dock, and said to Prabakaran.
When Prabakaran heard Long Yi's words, he moved his eyes from the warship to the dock and looked at the heavy weapons parked on the dock. Although Prabakaran wanted those warships more urgently at this time, he still endured it and thanked Long Yi: "Mr. Long! Thank you and your master for sending us the weapons from the LTTE. I believe that after owning these weapons, our new government's regime will definitely be more stable."
When Prabakaran said this, he paused and then asked Long Yi: "Mr. Long! You have said before that we can book a few warships we need with you in advance. I wonder if this is true?"
"Mr. Prabakaran! This is true. As long as you can afford the price, you can buy it even if it is an aircraft carrier. However, I think you may not be able to pay the price of this aircraft carrier based on the current fiscal revenue of your Ceylon government." Long nodded when he heard Prabakaran's words and confirmed his previous statement, but then he poured a basin of cold water on Prabakaran.
Long Yi guessed it correctly. Prabakaran really wanted to buy this aircraft carrier, but he knew very well that even if he devoted all his country's financial resources to buy this aircraft carrier, with Ceylon's current military power, he might not be able to save the aircraft carrier. By then, the aircraft carrier may become the spoils of other countries as soon as he bought it.
Thinking of this, Prabakaran pointed to the cruiser in the distance and said to Long Yi: "I want that cruiser, but because I just took over the Ceylon government, and the overseas accounts of the Ceylon government have been frozen, I have no money at all, so I use Ceylon gem mine to exchange with you."
"My owner of the gem mine is not interested at all, because there are many gems you gave before, and many of them are even more beautiful than what you gave to me. But I can provide you with a solution. Look there, there is a factory we built, one of which is used to produce cars, so now we need various metal ores. You can use the Ceylon government to buy ores from other countries, and then use these ores to exchange them with us." Long Yi shook his head again when he heard Prabakaran's words and said to Prabakaran.
"Metal ore!" Prabakaran felt very puzzled when he heard Long Yi's words. He really couldn't understand that the purpose of this mysterious organization's various metal ore was to do mystery. However, for him, obtaining that cruiser was of great importance, so he didn't think about it anymore, so he spoke to Long Yi: "Okay! Mr. Long! I will collect enough metal ore for that warship as soon as possible."
At the headquarters of the American Pacific Base, Clemings, the commander of the American Pacific Fleet, had been guarding in the combat room for three hours after the satellite passed over the Ceylon Sea for the first time. More than five hours had passed since the base lost contact with the Seventh Fleet. So far, there was no information about the Seventh Fleet except the pictures displayed on the satellite photos. Therefore, when he saw that the satellite arrived over the Ceylon Sea again, he immediately ordered his subordinates: "Immediately use satellites to search for the sea where the Seventh Fleet is located."
Soon the satellite image appeared in front of Clemings again. Seeing the picture on the photo, Clemings first felt something was wrong. He immediately ordered an officer next to him: "Take the previous satellite image, put the two together and compare them to see if there is a difference between the two?"
Clemings ordered to come here, and then asked another subordinate: "Is there any news from the Chinese Embassy in Ceylon? Call me immediately and ask, I want to know what happened to the Seventh Fleet as soon as possible?"
"God of General! The embassy has just contacted us. Our intelligence personnel have not come back yet. The Ceylon Tigers just overturned the government today. The capital of Ceylon is still under martial law. It is probably because of this reason that the intelligence cannot be transmitted back in time. However, the embassy said that as long as there is news there, they will contact us immediately." Then, when the officer heard Clemings' order, he immediately reported to Clemings about the situation he had just obtained not long ago.
