Chapter 378: Building a Destroyer

This kind of thing cannot happen again! After all, the country's funds are limited and cannot all be consumed in this bureaucratic form. The limited military expenditures are mainly used to modernize the military!

The biggest threat to China is the powerful polar bear in the north. The rolling torrent of armor seems to be able to attack at any time.

However, what surprised everyone was that polar bears hardly took advantage of the battle in Afghanistan. What was the reason? It’s because of Pakistan’s powerful air power!

As a result, China's top leaders saw clearly that they must have strong air power and replace quantity advantages with quality in order to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with polar bears! The high-level concepts have changed, and practical actions are needed to reduce the military forces, spend money, and carry out modernization!

This is something that offends people. No cadre wants to be fired. However, one million soldiers will be laid off, and a quarter of them will be laid off. For the entire army, almost everyone is faced with the challenges of advancing, retreating, leaving, and staying. Choosing and being chosen is a "three-dimensional shock" from top to bottom, from inside to outside. After effective reforms, 600,000 cadres in the army have been classified as "non-staff", and a quarter of the army's organic units It must be abolished, including those units with decades of glorious history and outstanding military exploits.

Mhamad came here this time to take advantage of these people. Of course, Mhamad does not need those agency cadres. Those kind of people have no ability at all and only know how to hang around under the system. It is a kind of happiness.

What Mhamad needs are the capable grassroots fighters who have been laid off.

"Yes, our army needs to be reformed and reduced in size to improve our combat effectiveness." Deng Gong said: "Many people have to make sacrifices. Many people have to make sacrifices." I have dedicated half my life to the army, and now the army has driven them away. I don’t know how many people are poking my spine from behind and scolding me.”

Deng Gong's words are full of dialect. There is also a wry smile in the humor, which is a necessary choice.

"Mr. Deng, we in Pakistan need some people with excellent military skills. As instructors, we hope to hire some demobilized personnel from your country to join our army to help us train the army. At the same time, the Afghan Free Army also needs some. Total, We hope to have around 10,000 people,” said Mhammad.

About ten thousand people!

In order to reduce the number of troops by millions, the government also needs to arrange the lives and jobs of those officers who have left. This is what the army owes them, and this matter has also caused the government a great headache. Now, Pakistan has proposed that it needs 10,000 people to serve as instructors. This just solves a big problem on its own side and can divert 10,000 people away!

This is not Pakistan asking for help, it is simply Pakistan helping itself! Many people are already accustomed to military life. After entering society, it is difficult to change, but now, if they are allowed to continue to go to a new country and serve as instructors for the army there, they will still be in the military camp, and they will be more adaptable.

"Okay, we will select the best retired soldiers and go to your country to help train the army." Deng Gong readily agreed.

Although the Pakistani army has more modern weapons, Mhammad keenly discovered that his own army. It still lacks a kind of bloodiness, this kind of bloodiness. It can only be cultivated after a long and arduous battle like the founding war. Pakistan lacks these, and this bloody spirit has been passed down in the armies of Eastern countries.

Therefore, Mhammad asked the instructors to not only teach the army basic combat skills, but also to cultivate the army's bloody spirit!

Another purpose is to establish grassroots party branches.

With this time, while introducing a team of instructors, we also reorganized the army's institutions and established party branches at the grassroots level of the army, completely turning the Pakistani army into the army of the Democratic Party led by ourselves, letting the army know that they are not only It is the army of the country and the army of the party. Loyalty to the party means loyalty to the country. In this way, no one will shake their position. Those family forces, let them eat shit.

"The second thing is that we in Pakistan are preparing to start building our own destroyers. We need to integrate many of our own things, so we hope that you can provide technical support." Mhamad said.

The subsystems imported from the United States, such as the most important LM2500, are used to build warships. The foreign exchange robbed from India is enough for Pakistan to start building its own destroyers.

"We fully support it. This is common progress." Deng Gong said: "How do you plan to build it?"

"Based on your 052-class destroyer, the hull is the same and uses the same engine, but there are some changes in the upper weapon system," Mhamad said.

Now, in China, in addition to continuing to build the first-generation Luda-class destroyers, the construction of the second-generation destroyers, the Luhu-class destroyers, has also begun.

Since it is still in the honeymoon period with the United States, this destroyer has received technical support from the United States, including its engine, which uses the most mature LM2500 in the United States. This kind of warship carries too many dreams of the Chinese Navy. After entering service, It immediately became the most modern warship.

Pakistan can get more equipment from the West. For example, although it cannot get more advanced standard air defense missiles, it can be equipped with Sea Sparrow air defense missiles. The eight-unit box launcher can provide the fleet with an 18-kilometer protection circle, which is much farther than the Sea Sidewinder on the Luhu class.

Other fire control, torpedo, sonar and other systems are all very advanced.

Pakistan hopes to obtain the hull technology of the 052 class and build it in its own country, while adding a large number of Western weapons to give its own warships more modern combat capabilities.

If the technology of the Patriot missile can be digested and absorbed, and a similar Aegis system can be developed on this basis, it will be even more perfect. Now Pakistan can only be a concept.

"No problem at all." Deng Gong said that the military cooperation between the two sides is very close. There are a large number of Chinese personnel in Pakistan's shipyards to help them modify aircraft carriers and manufacture large tankers. It is also very easy to build warships this time.

Muhammad quickly negotiated the second matter. The specific details were handled by the technicians below. Last time, Muhammad, an outsider, guided the insiders and hoped to use the ski jump and catapult together, which was a mistake. This time, Muhammad will not make the same mistake again. The specific operation will be carried out by professionals, and Muhammad only provides reference opinions.

The third matter is a kind reminder.

"Our intelligence personnel have received news that Taiwan is negotiating with Argentina, hoping to obtain two TR-1700 submarines from Argentina." Muhammad said.

Taiwan! Hearing this, Deng Gong's eyes suddenly shone.

At the beginning, if the Americans had not intervened at a critical moment after driving away the Kuomintang, the mainland would have decided to cross the Taiwan Strait and solve the Taiwan issue. At that time, the Korean War broke out, so the Taiwan issue was left behind.

Later, due to the development of the international situation, the United States established relations with the mainland. For the purpose of confronting the Soviet Union, it even proposed a plan for a large arsenal, wanting to arm the Chinese army to confront the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the ambition was too great and was rejected by the government.

Although the United States is very close to the mainland, for some purposes, they still support Taiwan and provide Taiwan with many weapons. Taiwanese people want to get some improvements in submarines, but there is no way. Because all American submarines are nuclear submarines, there are no conventional submarines, and Taiwan will definitely not get nuclear submarines.

Taiwan is supported by only a few outdated submarines and has long wanted to obtain advanced submarines. As a result, it has set its sights on these two submarines in Argentina.

In South America, Argentina once had the strongest military strength, and its navy had advanced warships including aircraft carriers. At the same time, it also hopes to have modern underwater submarines, so it has set its sights on German submarines.

The TR-1700 is a conventional diesel-electric submarine built by the North Sea Shipyard of the German ThyssenKrupp Group for the Argentine Navy. Germany had the best submarine technology in World War II. After World War II, submarine technology continued to develop, and this type of submarine has excellent performance.

The surface displacement is 2,160 tons, the underwater displacement is 2,264 tons, and the maximum diving depth exceeds 300m. It is the largest submarine built by Germany since the war. Its power system is 4 MTU diesel engines, 4 generators, and Siemens electric motors that propel the submarine to a maximum speed of 25 knots, making it the fastest conventional submarine. It is also equipped with 8 sets of 120 batteries. The endurance is extended from 30 days of ordinary submarines to up to 70 days. Weapons include 6 533 mm torpedo tubes, 22 SST or MARK 37 torpedoes, and the automatic loading system of the torpedo can be reloaded within 50 seconds.

When this advanced submarine was ordered in 1977, it was planned to build six, 2 by the German Thyssen North Sea Shipyard, and four in Argentina.

Unfortunately, after the Falklands War, Argentina suffered a serious economic crisis. The first two submarines were delivered in 1984 and 1985 respectively, and the construction of the fourth submarine was stopped due to the Argentine economic crisis. The third submarine was only 52% completed, and the fourth submarine was only 30% completed. The Argentine Navy has no ability to continue construction and hopes to sell it to other countries.
