Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

However, it became difficult to find anything better after that.

Next to these Type 1124 anti-submarine ships are Type 6621 missile boats, NATO designation Wasp-class. With a full-load displacement of only a little over 200 tons, space is limited, and the maximum amount of iron ore that can be carried is 300 tons. However, even the smallest ant is still meat, so of course it has to be taken.

The Wasp-class missile boats were retired long ago and could be sold without even needing to submit a report.

Next to the Wasp-class is the Spider-class missile boat, whose displacement has been increased to 500 tons. After some modifications, it can carry 700 to 800 tons of iron ore.

These vessels don't have a very high carrying capacity, but their small size makes them more agile in Guinea's inland waterways. They could probably even continue operating if they fell off a waterfall, so they can meet the needs for hauling more and running faster in the future.

After inspecting these missile boats, the number had increased to more than thirty, but finding more would not be easy.

Too large a warship won't work. If the displacement exceeds 1,000 tons, it won't be able to pass through some narrow parts of the canal, and then we'll have to do water conservancy construction. Qin Chuan definitely doesn't want to do that much work!

Thirty or so ships are not a small number. The rest can be plundered from the country, which should be enough. Qin Chuan is not greedy. After a whole afternoon of work, it's time to go back.

"Brother Sabanev, we've had a great haul this time. Let's go out later and find a place to have a few drinks..."

Sabanev said somewhat embarrassedly, "You said you wanted fifty ships, but unfortunately we don't have that many. Wait for us..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw several sailors sneaking around the corner ahead. When they saw him, they suddenly shrank back and didn't dare to come any closer.

"You lot, come out here! What are you doing?"

Nobody comes here normally. If someone does, it's definitely to steal! That's the sailors' habit. If they don't encounter anything, they turn a blind eye. But if they do, they have to do something about it.

The sailors slowly emerged, their overcoats bulging, clearly concealing something.

"Take off your clothes!"

Blah, blah!

Some scrap metal fell out of their clothes.

"Where did you get all this scrap metal from?"

The group of people lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Say it!"

"It's right behind there, there's a bunch of 306 landing craft."

306 landing craft?

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up instantly. This was a treasure, the thing he wanted most!

He took off walking forward.

"Boss!" Ivan quickly followed.

Sabanev glared at the group and said, "Get the stuff back now!"

So, the group arrived at an inconspicuous dock. A Cassin-class destroyer on a nearby dock completely blocked their view, making it impossible for anyone to see what was going on. When the situation finally changed and the dock became clear, Qin Chuan was the first to shout out.

"Wow, this is my protagonist's halo!"

The 306 landing craft is the main landing craft of the Russian Navy. It has a full-load displacement of more than 300 tons. The bridge is located at the back, together with the engine room, where the crew also live. From the bridge, there is a spacious cabin in front of you!

The ship has a gangplank at the bow. After landing on the beach, the gangplank opens to form a ramp with the ground, allowing the equipment inside the ship to be driven down.

In the event of a battlefield, two main battle tanks would be placed here. In peacetime, some supplies would be stored here to resupply the various islands.

Its number is quite large. Although there is no exact number, the Russians must have built hundreds, or even thousands, of these ships!

Large in number and highly useful, these Type 306 landing craft were called "water trucks" by the Russians.

This little boat in front of me is practically made for me!

The gangplank at the front is welded shut, so this is a ready-made transport ship. If it's overloaded, it can easily carry 500 tons of iron ore!

Moreover, the number of these ships is enormous, numbering in the hundreds. Once we bring these back, why would we need anti-submarine ships or missile boats?

As for sailing from here to Guinea... In the 1960s, four sailors were able to sail it to the middle of the Pacific Ocean without any preparation, let alone now, with the ship full of food and fresh water, all the way to Guinea!

“Brother Sabanev, I’ve changed my mind.” Qin Chuan said as he looked at him approaching, “I don’t want the other scrap metal, but I want all of this scrap metal! Anything that can start the engine and continue sailing on the water, I’ll take as much as you can!”

"it is good."

These are even easier to sell, and there's no need to report to higher authorities, because these landing craft have no weapons or equipment, and most of them were produced in the 1960s and 70s. Since they have no importance, the navy never includes them in its warship counts!

……

headquarters.

After listening to Sabanev's report, Khmelnov's expression was very complicated.

"My nephew is really something!"

He had previously suspected that Qin Chuan was working for the military. Last time, when he bought a decommissioned nuclear submarine, saying he wanted to convert it into a nuclear power plant, Khmelnov naturally didn't believe him. But later, the nuclear submarine was indeed dismantled and converted into a nuclear power plant, which is now the most important source of electricity for the Laiyang plant.

When Qin Chuan came to buy warships under 1,000 tons, Khmelnynov suspected that he wanted to secretly acquire some advanced equipment. Qin Chuan first asked for some decommissioned warships, which was suspicious. But later, Qin Chuan discovered the 306 landing craft and actually only wanted the landing craft!

He wasn't trying to develop equipment; he just wanted to create a small, compact means of transportation!

What does he need so many boats for? For inland waterway transport? I'll have to go check it out!

Night gradually enveloped the earth, and the once deserted dock was now bustling with activity.

Vehicles came and went, transporting large quantities of marine diesel fuel, and countless sailors crawled into the cabins of the 306 landing craft, fiddling with the old engines.

Some of the landing craft have been moored here for over ten years, and the most recent one has been moored for over three years. Getting them started again now is not so easy.

However, they worked very hard.

"Thank you all for your hard work. For every ship that is started, I will give the sailors who do the repairs a bonus of ten dollars!"

A mere ten-dollar bonus is enough to keep the sailors highly motivated!

The ruble is worthless; the dollar is the real hard currency. Ten dollars can buy so much vodka!

As they spoke, a roar sounded, and another landing craft started up! Amidst the roar of the engine, the sailors steered it around on the water, then arrived at the other side of the dock. Li Jianshe sat on a leather suitcase full of money and handed out money to them on the spot!

The sailors took the money and kissed it with great excitement.

"Thank God!"

"No, you should thank our boss!"

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

"Do you want to continue making money in the future? If you do, help us get the boat to our workplace in a few days. The conditions are a bit harsh, but it'll be $100 a month, no delays!"

The sailors were even more excited: "Yes, yes!"

"You're still just hanging around here. Come back when you don't want to do it anymore."

"I think, with a hundred dollars a month, we can work until we're old!"

"Work until you die!"
