"'Chuchen' is a Newton-class destroyer with a standard displacement: 7200 tons; full load displacement: 8660 tons; total length: 12902 meters, total width: 1350 meters, draft: 48 meters; maximum speed: 368 knots; crew: 350 people; endurance: 7500 nautical miles 20 knots."

"When it was first manufactured, it had three Beisebu 32 double 5-inch high-level dual-purpose guns; two five-unit 533 mm torpedo tubes; two Samar quad 40 mm machine guns, two Samar 40 mm machine guns, two Samar 40 mm machine guns, and 11 Mostima single-tube 20 mm machine guns; amazing firepower, of course, most of its weapons have been dismantled now."

When Li Mochen boarded the ship, a second-hand ship merchant named Rafat introduced him with pride.

"This is the destroyer built by Ameriga in the late 1940s. It was originally intended to use it as the main destroyer for the Ameriga Federation in the next few decades. However, the military competition in the Cold War era made it eliminated early. In 1975, it was sold to East Asia and was treated as a waste ship after serving there for twelve years. Now, this destroyer has undergone civilian modification. It still has a lifespan of fifty years, with a military destroyer-level defense capability, and a light magic came out.

The ASUS3884 four-sided phased array radar, a 44-target illumination radar and corresponding fire control system, and the same most advanced Listener 52-plane search radar and Listener 53 nautical radar. The weapon is two "Growler" five-inch 54-caliber naval guns, and is equipped with a four-x quad-mounted K-321 anti-ship missile launcher, a four-x quad-mounted Sam-21 air defense missile, a dense array short-range defense weapon system, and a total of fourteen machine guns."

"Are you sure it's a civilian modification?"

Li Mochen looked confused when he heard this, thinking, where is the civilian modification?

There is also the ASUS 3884 phased array radar, which is the latest radar installed by the Ameriga Navy? It seems to be a key component of the Aegis system, which can also be used for civilian purposes?

"Of course, all weapons and radars are castrated, basically only 23% of genuine performance and range. Its engine has also been replaced, with a speed of only thirty knots, but its endurance has increased greatly, reaching 9,000 nautical miles."

A second-hand ship merchant named Rafat answered his doubts: "Although its combat effectiveness is far less than that of a warship, if you place the "Chuchen" near the Antolia continent, then it is still a powerful and invincible war fortress. Even the battleships that are rampant over there must be three points in front of its anti-ship missiles. And now you only need to use 900 million gold shields to take it down. Mr. Wilton Stein, I think there is no more cost-effective deal. With this retired warship, your fleet will be free to enter and exit the Antolia continent."

Li Mochen didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at the group of people behind him. These people were all captains, first mates and second mates, and chief sailors whom he had recently invited at a high price. Some of them were retired naval officers.

There was no way, he knew nothing about warships, and he couldn't figure out whether what Mr. Rafat said was true or false. At this time, he could only rely on the professional abilities of his employees.

Li Mochen believes that these people will definitely give pertinent opinions. After all, the quality of this warship is also related to their future wealth, life, safety or failure.

"I think it's pretty good."

"Several weapon systems look quite new, I don't know what the status is."

"The hull maintenance is OK, but some devices are from decades ago. Although their design lifespan is very long, this renovation is too careless."

"What I care most about is how these radars, sonar and weapon systems on the ship are integrated, and that's the key."

"If all equipment has warranty, I think it can be used only."

"Is the price too exaggerated? Now a brand new destroyer costs only 1.2 billion gold shields."

Li Mochen discovered that although these people looked irresistible and not very enthusiastic, they had no doubt about the quality and combat effectiveness of this ship.

Several of the retired officers' eyes were glowing, and their expressions seemed to be telling him to buy it quickly and don't hesitate anymore! This is this one.

Li Mochen knew it, but asked a gray-haired old man beside him, "What do you think? Brigadier General Clayton?"

Brigadier General Wallace Clayton, now fifty-seven years old, retired Navy officer and a level 19 magic shooter. During his service, he served as the captain of three destroyers.

This is Li Mochen, the leader of the fleet invited by Michael Wood.

He spent a huge amount of money on this. In addition to an annual salary of 10 million, he also had a special life potion to help Wallace Clayton heal his injuries and prolong his life for two years; and a "Tear of Amphitrite" to help Wallace Clayton's magical energy cultivation to level 20.

In addition, he made a promise to find ways to help Wallace Clayton enter the legend within seven years.

Li Mochen thought the price was worth it. Since this former brigade general joined his team, the stumbled affairs on the ship seemed to have been added with lubricant, and it suddenly became smoother, so he almost didn't have to worry about it anymore.

"If boss you have enough funds, then I suggest you buy it."

While Wallace Clayton was talking, he was rubbing the new paint in the corridor, and his eyes were filled with wisdom: "But I look at you, you seem to have other concerns?"

"It's mainly personnel. Mr. Rafat said that the ship had undergone three trial voyages after its modification and guaranteed it with his reputation. Then I think there is no problem with the ship itself."

Li Mochen frowned: "But we need enough people to start it. I also heard that if a warship wants to exert its complete combat power, it also needs to be adjusted and adapted."

The main reason is that time is too tight. There was no such "Chuchen" in his previous plan.

This was exactly what someone had done on the ground fifteen days ago, remembering one of his partners in Southeast Asia, where a retired warship can be sold.

"The personnel's words are not a problem."

Brigadier General Wallace Clayton thought for a moment and gave a calm tone: "For those sailors who make a living in the Antolia continent, a ship with strong combat power is equivalent to a guarantee of life. Especially for retired veterans, this ship is very attractive. The combat power does need to be adapted, but I guarantee that this ship can exert its basic combat power by sailing out of sea for up to ten days. Its strength is still not comparable to those armed merchant ships under your property."

So Li Mochen turned around and offered a price to Mr. Rafat: "The 700 million gold shield must be loaned in installments. I will pay you 50 million in the first phase. Mr. Rafat, I am very sincere."

"If you have an installment loan, you must get 750 million."

Mr. Rafat laughed: "If you agree, this ship is yours. Otherwise, we can't talk about it."

The ship transaction involving hundreds of millions of gold shields is actually impossible to be as hasty as them, but in fact, this transaction was negotiated before they met. Even Tarafat was just used to cover up his mistakes. The ship was just passed in his hands and never belonged to him.
