Chapter 1755

When Ye Chen first mentioned the idea of the Wanlong Palace's transformation, Wan Pojun was in favor of it with both hands deep in his heart.

Before, when Ye Chen negotiated with the government army on behalf of Hamid in Syria, he put a hat on the Wanlong Palace of intending to parasitize inside Syria, so the Syrian side hated the Wanlong Palace to the bone, otherwise they would not have captured all 15,000 Wanlong Palace soldiers.

Ye Chen didn't think this was a problem, and said indifferently, "As long as you grasp the other party's psychological expectations, you can probably talk it down. After all, there are no eternal enemies in this world, and everything depends on the size of the interests."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Now, the situation over there has changed a lot. The defensive power of opposition armed forces like Hamid is rising in a straight line. Let alone them, even your Wanlong Palace, without super heavy weapons, is wishful thinking to take Hamid down."

"And, other opposition armed forces have started to follow suit, imitating Hamid's way, starting to dig deep holes and store food widely, while strengthening internal defense, while building a large number of permanent fortifications to store a large amount of material ammunition."

"So what can be foreseen in the future is that the government army has no way to take the opposition, but the opposition also has no ability to leave the solid fortress and carry out offensive battles outside. So next, they will definitely enter a state of mutual check and balance where they can do nothing about each other."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen continued with a serious face, "In this state of mutual check and balance, the government army is relatively lacking in a sense of security. After all, they cannot shrink into the mountain fortifications, but must hold the capital, hold major cities and traffic throats, and these places are easy to attack and difficult to defend. So they will definitely be surrounded by a sense of insecurity for a long time. The more this is the case, the more they need some extra security guarantees."

Wan Pojun asked him, "Mr. Ye, do you mean that the Wanlong Palace will provide a certain degree of security protection for the government army in exchange for their land use rights?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded, "If they have this need, they can completely provide us with a piece of land. We will use it as a base, develop and build vigorously, and at the same time sign an agreement with them. If they are attacked, we will help them resist the enemy with all our strength. In this way, it is also a guarantee for them."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Recently, the incident in Afghanistan has shocked the whole world. I think they must be very nervous in their hearts."

Afghanistan has undergone a change of regime some time ago, and the opposition has officially unified the whole territory. With such a precedent, the defensive pressure on the Syrian side must be very great.

Therefore, in this situation, if they cooperate with the Wanlong Palace, it will definitely be beneficial to them.

Wan Pojun is naturally very clear about the situation in Afghanistan, nodding repeatedly, "As you said, I also feel that Syria is in urgent need of improving its sense of security. If we talk to them well, the base matter should be able to land."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun said with great emotion, "In recent years, your subordinate has been looking for a suitable place for the Wanlong Palace to take root, but I have tried many times for many years and have not realized this wish..."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Then this time, let's help you solve this problem."

All the soldiers of the Wanlong Palace were excited.

They have been longing for a rear base for a long time, but unfortunately, due to their special nature, they have failed many times, and the vast majority of countries and regions, no matter what, cannot accept them building a base on their own territory.

Therefore, even if they have a scale of tens of thousands of people, they still have to disperse their soldiers to various places. If they are expelled in one place, they must immediately set off to the next place to stay temporarily.

If they can have a fixed base, it is equivalent to having a home for them.

Ye Chen said at this time, "By the way, Pojun, I think you can go to the Gulf of Aden tomorrow to determine the situation of the forward base, and at the same time make a specific division of the overall team with your core team. As for Syria, after I finish the things at hand, I will go there in person to talk to them. By then, you can go with me."

Wan Pojun immediately said respectfully, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Ye Chen added, "Before you leave, pick a Five-Star Battle General from the Wanlong Palace, and equip him with a dozen or twenty subordinates with stronger strength. In the future, let them be stationed in Jin Ling."

"Yes, Mr. Ye, I will arrange it before I leave!"

At this time, Ye Chen received a document sent by He Zhiqiu, which listed all the ship information and photos of Yisu Shipping. In addition, it also included the new ships ordered by Yisu Shipping, as well as the second-hand ship materials acquired from other enterprises.

Ye Chen handed the mobile phone to Wan Pojun and said, "Take a look at the specific materials of these ships and choose one suitable as a sea base."

Wan Pojun took the mobile phone with both hands and looked at it carefully, then said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, I think a 30,000-ton bulk carrier here is very suitable. The deck is flat and the area is large enough. It can park at least six helicopters. The interior is full of large cargo holds, and the transformation is relatively convenient. A little transformation can at least meet the accommodation problem of hundreds of people, and the load of 30,000 tons can also carry enough fuel materials and ammunition, which is more than enough to deal with those pirates."

Ye Chen laughed, "This is the oldest and smallest cargo ship in Yisu Shipping's hands, and it has already been marked for elimination and dismantling in three years. You still chose such a ship, are you trying to save money for me?"

Wan Pojun said hurriedly, "Mr. Ye, saving money is only part of the reason. The most important thing is that we really don't need to occupy larger and better cargo ships. 30,000 tons is actually a bit wasteful. To deal with pirates, I think it doesn't matter if the ship is smaller."

Ye Chen nodded and said earnestly, "This ship is not only used by you as a sea base, but also after you start to undertake security work in high-risk areas in the future, the transport of personnel and materials can also be completed using this ship."

As he spoke, Ye Chen reminded, "You must try to be prepared for danger. By then, in addition to helicopters, equip a few high-performance speedboats. Although the ships used by pirates are not large, they are fast and have strong mobility. You must set some effective response strategies."

Wan Pojun said solemnly, "Mr. Ye, rest assured, by then we will formulate a complete operation mode, integrating the armed escort personnel on merchant ships, sea bases, coastal bases, and rear bases in the best way. By then, we will never let any merchant ship escorted by the Wanlong Palace encounter any danger!"

Ye Chen laughed, "I absolutely believe in the strength of the Wanlong Palace. By then, I look forward to you encountering pirates a few more times and fighting a few beautiful sea defense battles. By then, business will come to your door one after another!"
