Looking at the bumpy hull, Ol 'Zhou quickly took out his phone and made a call.
"Hello? Old Zhang, do me a favor. Use your identity as a senior colonel to help me apply for a sum of military funds.”Old Zhou mumbled," It's just a simple renovation. It's neat and compact. It's about 8 million."”
"8 million, that's impossible!”
"What about the 5 million?"
"No."
"F * ck! Three million!" "Three million is fine, right?" Old Zhou said emotionally. I'll think of something else!"
"Old Zhou, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's not like you don't know how much money the navy eats. Everyone was applying for military expenses. The navy's military expenses were not enough anywhere. And now…"
Old Zhang paused for a moment before continuing.
"The higher-ups have already decided to spend 250 million, 17% higher than the market price, to buy two second-generation frigates from Northern Bear Country!”
Old Zhou stomped his feet in anger. Crazy! They've really gone crazy!"
"You know, the situation is special. The ban on the free country's armaments has not been lifted. The only country in the world that dares to sell armaments to us is the Northern Bear Country. If it wasn't for their internal conflict a few years ago and their financial problems, they wouldn't have sold the second-generation frigate.”
"So what if it's a second-generation frigate? It was retired! They only sold the 2nd Gen to us after they used the 2nd Gen!”
Old Zhou was so agitated that his saliva flew everywhere.
"I'm so angry! Why don't you dare to fight with those old fellows!”
Chen Chu had been listening attentively at the side. He naturally knew about the predicament of the navy's military expenditure in 2001.
The gold-devouring beast on the sea was not just for show.
In the end, Old Zhou's last sentence almost made him burst out laughing.
After pondering for a moment, Old Zhou said.
"Old Zhang, I am preparing to repair the Type 021 frigate!”
"What? I think you're the crazy one! That was a bottomless pit. The higher-ups would never agree to it!”
"What if I told you that the technical problem has been solved? Now, all that was left was to renovate and repair the entire place. Could this 8 million yuan be used?”
"Old Zhou, I know that the Type 021 frigate means something to you, but you have to consider…"
Old Zhang was halfway through his sentence when he heard the second half of Old Zhou's sentence. He was instantly stunned.
"What? The technical problem was solved? When did this happen? How many research institutes were involved? How much did he spend? Impossible. The higher-ups did not agree to mobilize the researchers to waste time on the Type 021.”
Ol 'Zhou didn't explain. After giving him the address, he hung up.
Deng.
Old Zhou stepped heavily on the steel plate and cursed,""This Zhang guy is too scholarly. He doesn't even dare to fight! At most, he could become a librarian like me.”
"250 million, that's real money! F * ck!"
"Now, the Type 021 technology has been overcome. With this sum of money and a few hundred million more, the production line of the 021 model could be completed! We can start building it next year!"
……
On the other side, Corey, who had hung up the phone, was pacing back and forth in his office.
"Old Zhou said that the technical problem of the Type 021 has been solved? It doesn't make sense!"
He used his authority to call the Navy Armament Research Institute, and the result was just as he expected.
"How did he break through without applying for funding or mobilizing the research institute's staff?”
"Could it be that I pushed him from the research institute to the library and made him stand up after breaking down... that he was enlightened?”
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
If they really wanted to repair the Type 021 frigate, they would not dare to do so without 80 million in funds.
In the end, Old Zhou only asked him for 8 million. It was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"No! I have to go and take a look. I can't let him mess around!”
Under the escort of the guards, Zhang Zhong arrived at the base in less than an hour.
Zhang Zhong shouted when he saw Old Zhou walking back and forth on the deck.
"Old Zhou, I'm warning you, don't mess around!”
Just as he was about to rush over, he was stopped by Sun Yong.
"Senior Colonel Zhang, Colonel Zhou said that no one is allowed to approach.”
"Sun Yong, get out of my way!" "Old Zhou, that lunatic, is messing around. Are you going to do the same?" Zhang Zhong was anxious.”
Sun Yong still wanted to explain, but Zhang Zhong pushed him away and rushed over.
As soon as he boarded the frigate, Zhang Zhong's blood pressure soared.
The interior of the frigate had been torn apart beyond recognition!
"Tear it down? Tear them all down?"
As they walked into the main control room, Zhang Zhong's face turned pale.
"Old Zhou, you're dead this time. You're going to the military court. No one can protect you!”
His heart ached.
This was bought with money.
More than 50 million! Even if it was scrapped, it couldn't be tormented like this!
Chen Chu looked at the person who had just arrived and felt a sense of familiarity.
Looking closely, he thought,'Damn, isn't this the younger version of the director?'
Why was he here?
Seeing a young man helping Old Zhou, Zhang Zhong was surprised. Could this be the university student that Ol 'Zhou had mentioned a few days ago?
As this thought flashed through his mind, Zhang Zhong immediately noticed that all the instruments on the main control panel had lit up.
As a senior colonel of the navy, he was familiar with warships and naturally understood what this meant.
For a moment, Zhang Zhong felt that it was ridiculous. Old Zhou, did you really repair the Type 021 frigate?
He instinctively felt that it was impossible. So many experts and researchers were helpless.
Old Zhou ignored Zhang Zhong and looked at Chen Chu instead.""The missile is filled. Let's try it?"
Chen Chu nodded.
"Good!"
Old Zhou rubbed his hands nervously." Try the results of your two months!”
Zhang Zhong was even more confused. From Old Zhou's tone, this matter seemed to be related to the young man in front of him.
"Missile? Old Zhou, you're crazy! This is a base, don't mess around!"
Ol 'Zhou glared at him, signaling him not to speak. Then, he took a deep breath and pressed on the control panel.
The next second, a message popped up on the console.
Anti-air missile system activated!
Target locked on by radar. Latitude and latitude confirmed!
Counting down, 10, 9…3…1!
The ignition was successful!
As a series of messages popped up, everyone quickly leaned against the window and looked at the deck.
In his line of sight, the door of the missile opened. In the next second, a missile shot into the sky with a long fire snake.
At this moment, not to mention Ol 'Zhou and Zhang Zhong, even Liu Yong and the others outside the frigate were dumbfounded by this scene.
The long-sealed Type 021 frigate had really been reborn!
13 kilometers away, the missile fell into the sea.
Ol 'Zhou said excitedly as he watched the scene through the binoculars.
"Hahahaha, fixed-point destruction, experiment successful!”
"That's great! After flipping it over and reloading it with real bullets, it could go to the battlefield again!”
Until now, Zhang Zhong still had not recovered from his shock."What…what happened?"
"Old Zhang, did you see that? It was fixed! It was completely repaired! The Type 021 frigate could be driven and fought!”
"You really fixed it?"
"It's fixed, but it's not my credit.”"This kid gave me a big surprise!" Old Zhou patted Chen Chu.”
Zhang Zhong looked at Chen Chu, unable to think straight.
A 20-year-old university student had repaired a frigate that had stumped countless researchers?
Were his parents very rich? Through private channels, they found experts from the Northern Bear Country and fixed it?
His mind was in a mess.
"We'll talk about the specifics later. I've tried all the other functions except for the anti-submarine torpedoes.”
As he spoke, Old Zhou grabbed Zhang Zhong and urged.
"Quick, quick, quick, make the application immediately and apply for the military expenditure!”
Zhang Zhong held the main control panel with one hand and said,"Wait a moment. I'm a little dizzy.”
"Slow my ass!"
Old Zhou said impatiently.
"That 250 million must be stopped and used for independent research and development! I can't let those people give money to Northern Bear Country anymore! My heart aches!"
