Chapter 1264 Large Gold Mine

001 aircraft carrier.

The deck was already full of planes.

There were both ‘Seahawk’ carrier-based aircraft, ‘Ray Eagle’ helicopters, and ‘Black Eagle’ helicopters!

Both carrier-based aircraft and helicopters were loaded with weapons.

I saw a carrier-based aircraft take off and fly towards an island.

This island is about 30 square kilometers, with a population of 50,000, and a pirate flag fluttering in the wind.

Three of the first batch of ‘Sea Hawk’ carrier-based aircraft flew from the sea.

At the same time.

The computer screens of the entire island, all the computers were turned on, suddenly turned into snowflakes.

“What’s going on?” A pirate stood up. At this moment, he thought he was staring at the screen for too long, causing dizziness.

But then, more people shouted: “What’s going on?”

Everyone’s computer screen turned into snowflakes.

This computer screen turned into snowflakes, not because the screen was damaged, but because there were too many jumping data on it! It couldn’t refresh, so it turned into snowflakes.

“Hackers invaded! Hurry, call the network security team over!” A pirate reacted and shouted immediately.

But at this time, the newly arrived ‘Seahawk’ carrier-based aircraft had already launched an attack, firing air-to-ground missiles.

"Boom~~" The air defense position was the first to be attacked.

In just a moment, the air defense position was destroyed!

Following closely, it was the artillery position. Only by destroying the artillery position could the Marines launch an attack. Otherwise, in the landing battle, the pirates' artillery would be enough to cause heavy losses to the Marines.

The three ‘Seahawk’ carrier-based aircraft had just finished the attack, and the second batch of three ‘Seahawk’ carrier-based aircraft had arrived, and the first batch of three ‘Seahawk’ carrier-based aircraft returned.

After five batches of air strikes, the warships approached the sea area and fired through ship-borne artillery. The 130mm ship guns were still very powerful.

Such unscrupulous firing opportunities are very rare.

During normal training, they only fired a dozen or so shots for training. How could they use up the shells like now?

At this time, the Marines began to prepare for landing.

The hatch of the landing ship has been opened. The Type 81 amphibious tanks have been driven out of the hatch one after another, entered the water, and began to launch landing operations on the island.

The "Sea Eagle" fighter jets, "Ray Eagle" helicopters, and "Black Eagle" helicopters in the air provide cover, and the warships behind provide artillery cover.

This is a real war. Although there are only pirates on this island, more than a thousand pirates, these more than a thousand pirates are well-equipped and not ordinary pirates.

At this time, the attack is conducted according to the normal war drill.

Although it feels like killing a chicken with a butcher knife, it is quite wasteful.

But the commander thinks it is worth it.

Although this is still different from a normal war, it is still better than the actual combat drills conducted in normal times.

How to improve the combat capability of warships has always been a big problem that plagues the entire navy, because in peacetime, there are no large-scale wars and no naval battles to accumulate combat experience.

You can't learn from the US military, bully the small with the big, and specifically pick a small country to fight a war.

Punch the Nanshan Nursing Home and kick the Beihai Kindergarten.

China can't do such a thing.

So, at this time, we can only fight pirates and practice!

The 'Sea Eagle' fighter, which was once regarded as a treasure by the navy, is now disliked by the navy, because the 'Sea Eagle' carrier-based aircraft is a fixed-wing fighter with short takeoff and vertical landing, which greatly limits the amount of ammunition and fuel.

But it is a powerful weapon against pirates.

Because pirates may have anti-aircraft weapons, but no aircraft.

This means that as long as the anti-aircraft weapons are destroyed, the air supremacy of the entire island will be firmly controlled, and air strikes can be launched against pirates.

When the Type 81 amphibious tank officially landed on the island, it also meant that this battle had completely lost suspense.

It didn't take too long for the pirates to be completely eliminated.

"Report to the commander, the spoils on the island were counted and 45 tons of gold were found."

"What's going on?" Lin Jianguo was surprised.

It's not that he hasn't attacked the island before, but the spoils are often less, and it's rare that the spoils can offset the consumption.

There are 45 tons of gold on this island alone. This much gold is more than enough for 10 attacks, not to mention just this one time.

"Report to the commander, there is a gold mine on this island!"

Lin Jianguo stood up suddenly. The gold mine now has 45 tons. Does that mean that this gold mine is a large gold mine and can be mined more?

Lin Jianguo personally used a satellite phone to report to the higher-ups.

How big the gold mine is needs to be assessed by professionals.

It took more than ten days to send all the families of the pirates on the island to other places, and the entire island became a military control area.

More than half a month later, a professional team came with instruments and began to detect the gold mine on the island.

What shocked Lin Jianguo was that the proven gold reserves reached 400 tons, and the predicted underground prospective gold reserves exceeded 1,000 tons.

This is really a large gold mine, or even a super-large gold mine!

The most important thing is that the quality here is very high, and the gold content of the gold mine has reached an astonishing 65 grams per ton.

He finally understood why these pirates could have so much gold.

With just simple equipment, you can mine gold and smelt it.

Lin Jianguo naturally knows the importance of gold.

Gold is a hard currency. In most countries in the world, gold often accounts for a part of their foreign exchange reserves.

You can worry about the depreciation of the US dollar and the euro, but you don't have to worry about the depreciation of gold.

Moreover, gold can be traded at any time. There are many countries in the world that want to buy gold.

Not only banks in China are buying gold, but ordinary people often pay attention to the "three golds" when they get married. China has been the world's largest gold consumer for many years.

It is estimated that even the government cannot count how much gold there is among the Chinese people.

Because some of the gold is smuggled, and some is bought by ordinary people when they travel abroad, buy gold jewelry locally, and wear it back home.

There is no way to count this.

With this gold mine, gold can be mined continuously.

Liu Tao soon got the news. He was also surprised that there was such a large gold mine on this island.

This large gold mine has surpassed the largest gold mine in the mainland.

Then there was happiness and joy.

China is already one of the world's largest gold producers, but the consumption of gold is far higher than the output, and a large amount of imports are still required every year.

The discovery of this giant gold mine will undoubtedly provide strong support for China to alleviate the problem of insufficient gold production capacity.

It cannot be said that it can completely alleviate the shortage of gold production capacity, but at least it can import less gold.

Moreover, this is also very beneficial for increasing the country's gold reserves.

In recent years, the largest foreign exchange reserves of China are gold reserves, which are used to maintain the stability of the RMB. (End of this chapter)
