Great warships

Chapter 1284 The Final Event
"What, the British aircraft carrier left?" The colonel smiled widely, "Good, good, great! They are scared now. They know how powerful we are, so they dare not come to make trouble again! Humph, if they dare to come, we will beat them!"

"By the way, have you caught the pilots? Once you've caught them, display them along with their planes so they can't deny it!"

Everything has been good recently and the Colonel is in a good mood!

"Report, Colonel, something bad has happened, something bad has happened!"

"what happened?"

"They passed a decision to impose sanctions on us and not allow any country to sell weapons to us!"

"What?" The colonel was stunned: "Why do they do that?"

Oriental, Minnesota Group.

"Boss Qin, how can you do this? We have already paid the deposit!" The representative sent by the colonel, Esnani, said angrily, "You should continue to deliver equipment to us according to the contract!"

Qin Tao was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, this is a force majeure factor. Now we have to avoid the limelight and wait until the storm has passed."

"Boss Qin, how could you do this?"

"We have no choice. After all, we have to respect some relevant international regulations. Now is the most tense time. Please rest assured that as long as the storm passes in the future, our agreement can continue!"

"How long?"

"It will be very soon. It will definitely be very soon. Don't worry."

Esnani looked grim: "Boss Qin, we are in trouble now, we need your support!"

"Of course we will support you, but there are many ways to support you. We fully support you mentally!"

"We want more than just moral support!"

"I have another plan here, all you have to do is follow it..."

Esnani's eyes lit up. Sure enough, President Qin's plan was very good. As long as they followed this plan, they could strike a heavy blow to the enemy!

Watching him leave, Xu Zhengyang said worriedly, "Boss Qin, will this affect the reputation of our Mingzhou Group internationally, or bring us more hatred?"

"If it were any other client, they would, but now it's the Colonel, then that won't happen. He has offended everyone he can, and no one will stand up to speak for him. Besides, we didn't say we wouldn't give it to you. We just said wait and see until the storm has passed. As for the hatred? We have terminated our cooperation, and they are still not satisfied?"

Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Okay."

"We need to keep this matter low-key. Recently, there was an incident where a British aircraft carrier lost its propeller. If we hype up this incident, it will be forgotten."

It is difficult to lower the heat, so try another method and replace the old heat with a new one.

The incident of the British aircraft carrier losing its propeller is very suitable for this case.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the new episode of Zhang Zhong Shuo. The name of this episode is Zhang Zhong Shuo Aircraft Carrier Propeller Falling Off."

As soon as this name came out, everyone knew who they were talking about. After all, the biggest joke in the world right now is that the propeller of a British aircraft carrier suddenly fell into the sea while it was moving!
No one is doing anything, and there is no attack. It is just a purely technical issue!
"The Type 45 destroyer frequently lost its locks. It is said that the crew enjoyed the candlelight dinner. Now, the Queen has lost its propeller again and is currently returning with difficulty with the help of a tugboat. These things are actually a display of the sunset of the empire."

Following Zhang Zhong's introduction, a scene of the Queen being towed back by a tugboat appeared on the screen. The double islands were very tall and majestic. The sun just appeared from between the two islands. The sunset dyed the entire warship red, giving people a feeling of a hero in his twilight years.

Anyone who sees this photo will understand what it implies. I heard that the British were furious after seeing it, and Benjamin even suffered a cerebral hemorrhage.

At this time, Zhang Zhong took out this photo, of course, to continue to provoke the British Empire.

"Okay, let's analyze why the propeller of the Queen fell off. We know that the propeller of a tanker with hundreds of thousands of tons can work normally. How could the propeller of the Queen fall off? The reason is actually very simple. The electric propulsion technology in the UK is not mature. We know that the Queen uses electric propulsion."

Zhang Zhong began to analyze: "It uses two motors in series to jointly drive a propeller to rotate. When starting, accelerating, and changing between single and double engines, the propeller will have a huge impact force. Of course, more importantly, the propeller processing defects cause the propeller to vibrate during operation."

"When it comes to propeller processing, we all think of the Toshiba incident in the 112s. At that time, the Japanese provided the Russians with advanced multi-axis linkage CNC machine tools, allowing the Russians to process advanced submarine propellers. However, I am more reminded of our warships. At that time, we ordered propellers from the largest propeller manufacturer in Europe, but two of them were broken in a row. It was not until the third one was qualified that it was produced."

"The propellers of aircraft carriers are even more complicated, with diameters of several meters, a single blade weighing 20 to 30 tons, and the entire propeller weighing 100 to 200 tons. If there is a problem with the quality of construction, long-term vibration during use will inevitably cause internal damage to the drive shaft. If we talk about the most advanced propeller manufacturing technology in the world, it is still our Dongfang. The propellers produced by our Mingzhou Group have never had such accidents..."

While stepping on the British, Zhang Zhong also praised his own people. Soon, he introduced the propellers produced by the Mingzhou Group.

"The video you are watching now is the seven-axis five-link CNC machine tool developed by our Oriental Mingzhou Group. It can be used to process propellers with a maximum diameter of 12.5 meters! The technology of this CNC machine tool is also the most advanced in the world. It has..."

At first, some people wanted to block us from this technology. What about now? Only we block others, and other countries cannot order it unless they purchase finished products!
"Here, I suggest that the British side purchase propellers directly from our Mingzhou Group and drive motors from our Golden Sun Motor Company. If we provide the entire system, the problem will definitely be solved completely. At the same time, I also suggest that the British check the second ship of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, which may encounter the same problem. We can find it early and solve it early."

United Kingdom.

"HMS Prince of Wales was inspected and cracks were found in the propeller shaft."

Benjamin looked grim: “What caused it?”

"I don't know, but our relevant departments will definitely investigate and solve the problem as soon as possible."

"How to deal with it?"

"To replace the power system, we don't need a gantry crane, we just need a dock, and we will replace the new drive shaft."

"Is this new one guaranteed to be problem-free?"

The person in front of me stopped talking.

Who can guarantee that there won’t be any problems? They only built a few of them, and there was no strict engineering mechanics vibration testing, etc. Even if they replaced them with new ones, there might still be problems.

"Humph, instead of doing this, we might as well purchase directly from the East. There have never been any problems with the products they produce!" said Benjamin.

Of course, he said this in the opposite way, but what else can they do if their own business is not doing well?
The Mingzhou Group has the most experience in manufacturing aircraft carriers in the world, and the most experience in electric propulsion of the entire ship! The dog owner's aircraft carrier has been used for several years, and there is no news of any problems with the propeller.

How could we have fallen to such a level? Is it true that our shipbuilding industry has become a sunset industry?
"Cooperate with the United States and seek advanced drive shafts from them." Benjamin said. He no longer trusted domestic companies.

"But the Americans don't have an aircraft carrier that's fully electrically propelled yet."

Although the Ford is an epoch-making aircraft carrier, the Americans are worried that electric propulsion is not mature, so they still use the conventional steam turbine to directly drive the drive shaft.

Thanks to this design, otherwise the Americans would have been troubled by various failures.

Can the Americans handle what the British can't?

of course not!

In the whole world, only Orientals can handle it!

"The Queen aircraft carrier actually had such an accident during its voyage. It's obvious that the commander didn't do a good job of checking. Someone must be held accountable for this!" Benjamin said, "It wouldn't be too much for this captain to be thrown into prison!"

The British Empire has lost all its face!
"Sir Benjamin, theoretically speaking, the captain is just negligent. It is impossible for him to go in. Moreover, if we conduct a high-profile investigation, it will be easy for someone with ulterior motives to take advantage of us."

When the captain comes back, he will be investigated and thrown into prison. Then it will be hot news again.

"Then let's change another one. Does that captain usually drive a public bus?"

"Well..."

Many things may not seem like a big deal, but if they are hyped up, they can become a big deal, and using public buses for personal purposes is one of them.

Even the highest leader of a country usually takes the bus to work, but has to drive his own car on vacation. Therefore, in Europe, you can often see some high-end luxury cars protecting an ordinary car as it moves forward.

However, for many people, this matter is not taken seriously, and it is normal for officers in the fleet to drive their own buses home.

"You are fired for using the official vehicle for personal purposes!"

He has brought such disgrace to the Royal Navy. If he is not dismissed, is he going to be kept over Christmas?
"Sir Benjamin, there is another matter that requires our extra attention."

"what's up?"

"This time, two stealth bombers went to carry out the bombing mission, but only one returned, and the other one must have crashed."

"Yes, it may have crashed. That kind of aircraft is too complicated. It is not easy to ensure a perfect attendance rate at all times. It is very likely that there was a mechanical failure." Benjamin nodded.

"Besides mechanical failure, there is another possibility."

"What's possible?" Benjamin frowned and looked at the person beside him: "Michael, do you know any new information?"

"I don't know either, but I always feel that this matter is not that simple. If it is not a mechanical failure, then it is very likely that it was shot down."

"Shoot it down? How is that possible? The colonel doesn't have the ability to do so. It's not easy to detect a stealth aircraft!"

"Recently, we found that the United States is summarizing intelligence on a certain aspect." Michael said, "It's already the 21st century, and the Orientals still retain meter-wave radars. This makes the United States very curious."

"That's right. The Orientals have retained the outdated meter-wave radar because it saves power and has a long search distance. However, its accuracy is too poor. At most, it can only tell where the target is, but it is impossible to guide missile attacks. For us, it is useless."

"What if that thing is used to detect stealth aircraft?"

Benjamin was suddenly stunned. Did he find a stealth machine?
Stealth aircraft will not appear on radar screens, so they have great flexibility when performing missions. But now, stealth aircraft are shot down again and again in actual combat, which shows that this type of aircraft also has problems.

So, how was the stealth aircraft discovered?

After years of research, the Americans finally discovered something: the East has always maintained the equipment of meter-wave radar. Is the secret in the meter-wave radar?

"Robert, you are an expert in stealth aircraft and should be most familiar with their weaknesses. Do you think that the meter-wave radar that the Orientals have never given up could be a powerful weapon against stealth aircraft?" Brian had a worried look on his face.

"When we were developing stealth aircraft, we always considered stealth in the microwave band. After all, this is the band of commonly used radars." As a stealth aircraft expert at the Skunk Works, Robert is very professional: "So, for Meebo, our stealth aircraft does not have much stealth effect, but..."

"But what?"

"Even if the meter-wave radar can detect the stealth aircraft by chance, it is meaningless because the meter-wave radar can only detect the target, but cannot accurately locate the target, let alone guide the attack." Robert said: "So, even if it is discovered, it is meaningless. We are also very surprised that the stealth bomber failed this time."

"Report, Michael is back!"

After the bomber crashed, they immediately launched a search and rescue operation. They were experienced in this regard, so Michael was rescued, but George was still missing and was in great danger.

"Bring him in!"

Michael's mental state was very bad. Although it had been two or three days since he was shot down, his face was still pale and his whole body was trembling. It was obvious that he was terrified.

"Michael, tell me, what happened at that time? Were you locked by the meter-wave radar?" Brian asked.

"Meter-wave radar? I don't know. Our radar warning receiver briefly sounded an alarm when the bomb bay door was opened." Michael said.

As soon as these words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

How can a meter-wave radar lock onto something? The error of that thing can easily be several kilometers!
To lock onto something, you still need an X-band or C-band fire control radar. However, this thing cannot detect stealth aircraft unless in special circumstances, such as when the bomb bay door is open.

The appearance of a stealth aircraft is intact when it is flying normally. Its appearance will only be destroyed when it opens the bomb bay to drop bombs. Since the opponent discovered us at this time, it can only be said that we were unlucky.

"Then how did you get shot down? Did they fire missiles?"

"We did launch a missile, but when we closed the bomb bay door, the missile was unlocked. Then, we quickly disengaged, and we encountered a plane that opened fire on us..."

"Fire?"

"Yes, it was a machine gun. They shot at us with machine guns... At that time, in the darkness, the flame was particularly bright..."

As Michael spoke of this, he felt a sudden pain in his head, and the scene of that night came into his mind again. It was terrible, so terrible! He covered his head and screamed in pain.

"Take him away." Brian said helplessly.

The matter has been roughly clarified.

"They didn't use the meter-wave radar. It was just luck that the fighter plane that took off happened to spot our bomber opening its bomb bay, but our other stealth bomber was fine, which means this was an isolated case. Even if the Orientals had the technology, it didn't spread to the colonel, not to mention that they didn't have it either."

"Report!" At this moment, another person came in: "The colonel has made public the wreckage of the bomber and the pilot George, and he has also threatened to execute him!"

"Damn it!" Brian frowned. Although this bomber belonged to the Air Force, it was also to vent the Navy's anger, and they should be united in external aspects.

After rescuing one, there is still one left, which is still a problem!

What's next?
"This damn colonel should have gone to another world long ago!" Brian was very annoyed.

"They said that they only had two stealth aircraft, and both were destroyed in the bombing. They were very angry and wanted to execute George to vent their anger."

what?
I thought it was all bad news recently, but unexpectedly there was some good news!
Brian's eyes lit up: "Since they no longer have stealth aircraft, and have no advanced means to counter stealth aircraft, we don't have to be afraid, just go into battle ourselves!"

The reason why the British were instigated to take part in the battle was because they themselves did not dare to do so and were afraid of being ambushed by two stealth planes again. Although they lost a stealth bomber this time, they still completed the mission.

In that case, let’s get on with it!
East.

Qin Tao sat in a chair, looking at the computer screen in front of him boredly.

"Mr. Qin, something seems to be wrong. The colonel said that all the stealth aircraft were lost, and they really believed it?" Xu Zhengyang found it unbelievable.

"If someone else said it, maybe they would be careful, but if it was the colonel who said it, why wouldn't they believe it? The colonel's brain can't come up with so many tricks."

"Hmm. The Colonel is one step closer to death, right?"

"No, he will always live in our hearts. By the way, how are the arrangements on our side going?"

"The coast guard ship has already passed by." Xu Zhengyang said, "Boss Qin, you have been preparing for this major event for so many years. Although there are still two aircraft carriers that have not been built, they are enough. After all, we have been ahead of the times for many years, and they are all our helpers."

"Well, I have accomplished this great thing, so my trip here is not in vain."

Xu Zhengyang was curious, what did this mean?
Qin Tao didn't explain. He was a reborn person, and there was no way he could explain it.

He continued browsing the webpage, which said that a certain fisherman encountered brutal law enforcement while fishing at sea, and his boat capsized...
