Great warships

Chapter 367 Big Mao let go of Varyag

"Mr. Qin, are you in such a hurry to leave?" The leader of the base looked at Qin Tao in front of the plane and said with emotion: "You can stay here for a few more days, and let us show the friendship of the landlord."

"Isn't there just a plane back to Huating? I'll take the plane with them to save my own helicopter from coming over to pick me up. This take-off and landing can save tens of thousands of dollars."

"It's a good idea to get drunk!"

"Next time, if you go to Huating or Mingzhou, I invite you."

"Yes, Mr. Qin, when will your shipyard be able to build a few warships for our fleet!"

"Is this your real purpose?" Qin Tao looked at the person in front of him with a smile: "You guys are asking the wrong question, I am not qualified."

Now the three fleets of the motherland make the southern fleet the most shabby.

In the north, there are two 052s and two 051Cs, and in the east, there are two Hyundai-class ships purchased.What about the south?What's in the south?
The frigate belongs to the frigate, and the destroyer belongs to the destroyer. Seeing that the two brother fleets will have a displacement of more than 051 tons, what does their southern fleet have?Or the [-] facade with a displacement of [-] tons.

Of course they were also envious.

However, Qin Tao's answer is okay. Whether it can be built or not is not up to their Mingzhou Shipyard, but depends on the appropriation from the superior!The military expenditure of the navy is not so much, and there is no rice in the pot, how to cook porridge?

"After the 054 is built, I'll give you two. Okay, let's go." Wu Shengli said, with a wave of his hand, he took Qin Tao and others onto the plane.

This is a Tu-104. After Qin Tao got it back, several of them have become special landlines for naval leaders to travel. They are cheap and affordable. After all, this place was originally an island. If you don’t take a plane, you have to take a boat.

In the cockpit, Qin Tao watched the plane slowly leave the runway, full of thoughts.

Will that EP-3 land here in a few years?
No, no!Because I will make the motherland stronger!
Qin Tao clenched his fist.

"The problem with the southern fleet is indeed serious. So far, the navy has not been able to equip them with large warships." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi, do you have any ideas?"

What can I think?It really has nothing to do with me!
Qin Tao thought to himself.

"For now, gas turbines are still the key technology that restricts our navy's large ships. Without advanced gas turbines, we cannot build warships with a displacement of more than [-] tons." Qin Tao did not mention money, but first introduced the technology The above question was mentioned.

"Then, is the research and development of our Sea Star radar." Qin Tao continued: "We want to produce warships now, and we must aim at the situation in ten or twenty years. Without the four-sided phased array, the naval ships will not be able to go out Execute the mission. Therefore, the next warship to be produced is an air defense destroyer with a displacement of more than 20 tons, a four-sided phased array radar and dozens of vertical launch units. Although the relevant technologies are being studied, they have not reached maturity. when."

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, these technologies are not yet mature. Now, we can only let 054 make up the numbers temporarily. Fortunately, although 054 is a frigate, its displacement is higher than that of 051, and it can be regarded as filling the gap in the southern fleet. gone."

Both money and technology have to keep up. At present, it is not yet time for the navy's main ships to make dumplings.

In the cabin, it was temporarily quiet.

"What if we buy from Lao Maozi again?" a leader asked.

"Purchasing is also a solution, but what do we want to purchase?" Qin Tao said: "At the beginning, the purchase of the modern class was for the various weapons on it. Two ships are enough, and they are still about to be assembled. If we continue Procurement, the old Maozi has to restart production, everyone knows what the old Maozi's military industry system looks like, and now it is too risky to let them restart production."

The crowd nodded.

In the past few years since the collapse of the Red Empire, everyone has seen how the country has declined rapidly. Ordering semi-finished warships can be completed by installing some weapons, and the risk is even less. If a brand new warship is built, the consequences are unpredictable.

"What about the procurement subsystem? Like the powertrain?"

What the Navy's warships lack the most is gas turbines. As long as they have mature gas turbines, they can build warships with higher displacement.

"If we can purchase gas turbines from Ermao, then we can continue to manufacture large warships now." The leader opened up his mind: "Our land-based Hongqi-051 missile has been successfully tested, and the big deal is like two [-]Cs. Go to the warship to form our most important anti-aircraft weapon system. Build two ships first, and use them as an emergency for the southern fleet."

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "Ermao's gas turbine? We have already recruited a group of people. Now there are many old men in the 703 Institute. Think about it, not only we are digging, but the West is also digging. How many people are there in Ermao? A large number of their technicians are lost, even if they can be made, do we dare to use them? Will there be any problems?"

When Qin Tao said this, everyone was silent.

This is indeed the case.

The legacy of the Red Empire era has been almost squandered. How much capacity does the Dawn Alliance have?I dare not use the ones that were created.

If there is an emergency, the gas turbine at the Shuguang Consortium is indeed an important source of power, but Qin Tao also knows in his heart that the technology of the UGT15000 gas turbine is too old, and the improved UGT25000, after the collapse of the Red Empire, Ermao has no That ability is gone.

In later generations, it was also because China ordered ten units that the Shuguang Design Bureau was brought back to life. Now, if it can be done by itself, there is no need to ask Ermao for help. Technology, funds and so on are all available, just waiting for the passage of time.

In these fields, Qin Tao has become an authority. Now that Qin Tao has said so, others will be silent.

There was another burst of silence in the cabin.

And Qin Tao leaned on the seat and fell asleep.

When they arrived at Huating, it was already night, and several people returned home.

"Come on, let me listen." After entering the door, Qin Tao threw himself on his wife's belly, put his ear on it, and could hear some movements inside.

"The little guy in my belly has been making a lot of noise recently. I guess it's probably a boy, not as quiet as a girl." Zhao Ling said.

"Well, both men and women are the same." At this time, men and women cannot be photographed. Qin Tao is very open, and he really has no prejudice against men and women.

"What's delicious tonight?" Wu Shengli asked, "I smell a pig's hoof."

"Yes, pig's trotters." Zhao Xiu'e said, "I made it for Xiao Ling, and you guys are lucky too."

"This pig's trotter, it's a bit early to eat." Qin Tao said with emotion: "Generally speaking, you have to wait until the baby is born, it's for milking."

"Hey, you know there are many more." Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao.

"That is, I brought that book about parenting to Experiment No. [-]. I read it many times when I was bored at sea," Qin Tao said.

"Oh."

Just when the family was enjoying themselves, Xu Zhengyang came.

"Zhengyang, come, let's eat together." Qin Tao greeted.

Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "President Qin, there is important news, I think it's better to tell you as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, Xu Zhengyang moved closer to Qin Tao's ear and said a word.

Hearing this, Qin Tao was suddenly excited: "So fast?"

"Ah."

"What's the matter?" Wu Shengli also noticed something.

"Dad, come to the study." Qin Tao said.

"This meal is already served, why do you..."

Zhao Xiu'e watched the three people enter the study, but she also had no temper.

"What is it that makes you so happy?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

"Zhengyang, tell me."

"Well, we just received news that the Damao Navy has officially decided to abandon the Varyag." Xu Zhengyang said.

"Da Mao Navy gave up?" Wu Shengli was also shocked by this statement: "In other words, we can buy that warship back?"

Under Qin Tao's indoctrination, Wu Shengli has also firmly established this concept: a few Kyiv-class heavy aircraft carrier cruisers cannot meet his own needs. If he wants to obtain a real aircraft carrier, he can only get it from Varyag No. Start.

However, it is not so easy to purchase the Varyag.

The first problem is that the warship is in dispute. The Da Mao Navy and Er Mao have been arguing endlessly over the ownership of the Varyag.

In Da Mao's eyes, that warship is a legacy from the era of the Red Empire. Although it was built in Er Mao's shipyard, it also belonged to Da Mao's navy. They only need to pay the remaining costs to complete the construction of the warship.

What about Ermao?Definitely not doing it, insisting that this warship is Ermao's property. After all, when the family was separated, it belongs to whoever it falls into!

Therefore, if Da Mao wants to buy it, he has to pay the full amount.

The two parties have been arguing for several years over the issue of cost. This is like a house with problematic property rights. Who would dare to buy it?Even if you buy it, you can’t live in it!
Therefore, although Qin Tao was greedy, he didn't do it right away, because Qin Tao knew that the warship was not something he could get his hands on. Every time he went to the Black Sea Shipyard, he could only look at it and drool.

Now, the Damao Navy has resigned to their fate, and they already know that they simply do not have the ability to complete the Varyag, even if they only pay the remaining 30.00% of the cost, it is not something they can do.

Just look at the fate of the Kyiv-class heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruisers of their navy now, and you will know that they all died young in their prime.

The only ship, the Kuznetsov, is still alone on the pier, and the carrier-based aircraft has not yet been fully equipped. Even if it is fully equipped, there is no fund to lease the Nitka base for training.

With the current situation of the Da Mao Navy, there is no way to get involved in the Varyag, so they let go!
Qin Tao's opportunity came.

At this time, Qin Tao nodded upon hearing Wu Shengli's question: "That's right, we can buy that warship back!"

"How much does it cost?" Wu Shengli continued to be excited.

"At least [-] million."

"What did you say?" Wu Shengli was surprised by this number.

[-] million!
"Second-hand scrapped warships, how expensive are they? Didn't you buy the Kyiv for a few million dollars?" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with some embarrassment: "It actually costs [-] million?"

Only the Minsk ship, under Qin Tao's flickering, was willing to spend 8000 million to buy it, and with the 2000 million design drawings, it cost a total of [-] million. However, Dazhou Company has gone bankrupt. Yes, everyone has seen how risky it is to buy a second-hand aircraft carrier!

Da Mao Navy doesn't want it, and Er Mao's side can only disassemble it for scrap iron, and it can't be sold for much.

Qin Tao actually said [-] million?
"That's right, at least 2000 million." Qin Tao said: "Among them, the cost of official purchases may only need 8000 million, but it takes [-] million to manage the relationship. Maybe bring that warship back."

Wu Shengli frowned.

"What's wrong?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli: "Dad, is there anything difficult for you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

"If it only costs a few million, our navy can find a way to raise it. If it costs [-] million, we don't have that much money at all!"

Wu Shengli is worried about money.

A project worth hundreds of millions cannot be resolved within the navy, and the superior must be invited to make this decision.

However, the superiors have not yet unified their thinking.

Although it is definitely necessary to develop the navy of the motherland, there are big differences on how to develop it. Even with the incident of the Xingchen, most people still think that it is enough to maintain a near-water navy. After all, aircraft carriers are offensive. weapons.

The foundation of our country is not strong enough. At this time, it is not suitable to develop offensive weapons.

Therefore, many people do not support the launch of the Navy's aircraft carrier, and the Navy can only do pre-research all the time without getting enough support.

Now, to spend [-] million, you have to explain the situation to your superiors. If such a large amount of funds is secretly mobilized, then if something goes wrong in the future, Wu Shengli will be in big trouble.

Hearing that his father-in-law was worried about this, Qin Tao smiled brightly.

"Taozi, what are you laughing at? Dad is very anxious right now!" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao angrily.

"A penny is hard for a hero. I have known this truth for a long time. Therefore, over the years, I have been making money non-stop, making money, in order to be able to give money when I need it." Qin Tao He said, "The purchase of the Varyag is a matter of our Mingzhou Group. Does it have anything to do with our navy?"

"You pay to buy warships for our navy?"

"We paid for a super luxury cruise ship for ourselves, which will be converted into a casino in the future." Qin Tao said, "Well, our Mingzhou Group has to put aside the relationship and register a new company."

"Then you will donate to the navy in the future?" Wu Shengli didn't care about these things that had nothing to do with them, he only focused on the key points.

"Of course it's impossible. How much money we spent in total will be recorded, including the cost of our transportation. In the future, the navy will unify its thinking and decide to want this warship. We have to transfer the money we spent to the navy to buy the part." The interest of time is included." Qin Tao said very directly: "In short, we will not make money from the Navy, but we will definitely not suffer losses."

"You're really skinny." Wu Shengli teased his son-in-law with a smile.

"Zhou Papi is better than Shen Wansan." Qin Tao said.

Xu Zhengyang's gaze became complicated. He knew that Mr. Qin was very capable of making money, and Mr. Qin didn't care about money. Many things Mr. Qin did were for the country and the people. However, Mr. Qin was also very smart, and he took care of everything Just right.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, when do you plan to leave?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

"Leaving? Why are you leaving?" Qin Tao asked back.

"What else, of course it is to buy Varyag!" Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law dissatisfiedly, you are asking knowingly.

"What's the hurry, we have to wait for a while."

"Wait, wait?"

"Of course we have to wait. Ermao thought that the warship was a sweet pastry. He held it in his hand and was waiting to make a lot of money. Now let's go to buy it. Ermao might ask for 20 billion." Qin Tao said: "If we want to buy it, we can buy it at the scrap iron price. If we go up now, we will be taken advantage of."

In the past, Ermao had no right to deal with the Varyag. They could only keep arguing with Da Mao. Now, Da Mao has finally let go, and Er Mao can handle it by himself. In their eyes, the Varyag The number is still very valuable and can be sold at a high price.

If you take the initiative to come to the door now, you will be slaughtered!
Wu Shengli sighed: "That is to say, we can't do anything now?"

"That's not true. There is still something we can do now. For example, our teacher Zhang can analyze the future of this warship." Qin Tao said with a smile.

"Have you guys finished talking? The food is getting cold, and Xiaoling is still waiting for you to eat together!" Zhao Xiu'e's voice came from outside.

"Okay, here we come!" Qin Tao was the first to open the door and go out.

another beautiful day!
Far East, Vladivostok.

"Boss Qin's method is really good. We have already brought up this warship." Kvyat looked at the huge warship standing in the open space of the shipyard, with emotion in his heart.

Only Mr. Qin can come up with this kind of native way of riding a horse!

Half of the scaffolding has been set up, and as long as they are all set up, they can start building warships.

"Yes, Qin's family owns a shipyard. He is very familiar with such things. If it wasn't for Ah San's discovery, we could even ask him to be our consultant." Nicholas said.

"Your Excellency Nikolai, Director of Kvyat, Ah San is here again." Zaitsev whispered to the two of them.

Chetri, Kidambi and others came over.

"How about it, Mr. Chettery, we didn't lie, did we? We said that we would tow this ship up for refitting, and now we have done it." Nicholas said to the third boys with a smile.

"Yes, the scaffolding is being built now, and it will officially start soon. Please rest assured, we will definitely complete the modification task." Kvyat also said.

A shameful expression appeared on Chetri's face: "I'm sorry, the situation has changed."

"Changes, what changes?" Now it was Nikolai and Kvyat's turn to be surprised.

"Our country has instructed that the refitting project of this aircraft carrier will be temporarily stopped."

"Stop temporarily, why? Haven't you been urging me all the time?"

"Yes, the situation has changed a bit now, everyone, I am very sorry."

Nicholas thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened: "Are you going to buy the Varyag?"

Ah San has always been very enthusiastic about the aircraft carrier. After being tossed about many times, he finally decided to invest in the Novorossiysk. Some time ago, they kept urging them, but now they suddenly want to brake.

There must have been other major changes.

The answer was ready to come out: Ah San had his eye on the Varyag!
"Yes, the voice in our country is very high now, so a delegation has already left for Ermao." Chetri was also very helpless: "If the Varyag project is negotiated, it will definitely cost a fortune There is a huge amount of money, so we can only suspend the transformation of Chaoriwang first."

With the beginning of the transformation, Ah San has named the aircraft carrier Chaoriwang, and everything is going well, but there is such a change in the middle.

"It's okay to suspend, but don't even think about the deposit. We have already ordered the raw materials, and, because of your reasons, the construction period and renovation funds have increased. Don't blame us then." Nicholas' face became serious.

"Yes, we know." Chetri's face was equally ugly: "You two also know that the current project is promoted by our team, and if the project can go on until the delivery of the ship, it is all thanks to us. However, we can't influence the opinions of many bigwigs in the country. So..."

"Understood, you can go."

When Chetri, Kidambi and others left, Kvyat said with emotion: "If Ah San really bought the Varyag, then the aircraft carrier will probably be shut down indefinitely."

"That's good, when the time comes, we will have an excuse to cancel the project, and use the existing funds to transform the aircraft carrier, and we will use it ourselves!" Nicholas said, at this time, he was still immersed in fantasy.

"Ah San's existing funds are still a little low, and our factory is still not enough to complete the transformation." Kvyat said.

"Well, when our country's economy improves, it should be almost done." Nicholas was full of confidence.

Just when Chetri and Kidambi disappointedly notified the suspension of the aircraft carrier modification project, another team set off from the capital of Asan with great interest and flew directly to Nikolayev.

On the plane, Sunil, a senior naval officer of Asan, was extremely excited.

"Compared to the Varyag, the Chaoriwang is a piece of shit." He made no secret of his contempt for the Chaoriwang: "The displacement of that aircraft carrier is only [-] tons, while the displacement of the Varyag , with a full [-] to [-] tons, a larger deck area, and more fighters that can be operated! We need a powerful aircraft carrier to show the majesty of our three-nation navy!"

Of course, there are many beneficial factors in this. After all, the Chaoriwang has already started construction, and a large deposit has been accepted. There is no need to stop the project, after all, they need more than one aircraft carrier.

However, he still used his connections and lobbied various departments to stop the Chaori King and buy the Varyag with all his strength.
