Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1076

“How is it possible!” Xie Kai sniffed.

Even if the other party is the daughter of a high-ranking Thai official, this matter is related to a man’s face, not to mention that it is not true at all.

“Cut!” Wang Hao despised Xie Kai, “Do you think I can’t beat him?”

“My dear, you are the bravest in the world! There is no one.” Songying Bing said while looking at Wang Hao with a wavy face.

Xie Kai couldn’t bear it.

This is so special to show affection?

Looking at Mozi, Mozi just looked at him with a smile.

For a while, the atmosphere became a little embarrassing.

“My dear, my brother and I haven’t seen each other for a long time. I have something to say, or else, would you take Mo Qi to go shopping? Tell her some local fun, and take them there tomorrow?” See you Wang Hao Xie Kai smiled and said to Songying Bing.

He approached Xie Kai and naturally had something to say.

Songying Bing is not very clear about Xie Kai’s identity.

“Yes, Miss Songying, Brother Kai said that Thailand has a lot of fun…” Mo Qi also smiled and stood up.

Songying Bing didn’t want to leave, but was afraid that Wang Hao would be angry, so she could only take Mo Qi out.

There were only two people left in the room, Xie Kai looked at Wang Hao and shook his head.

This product is typical of being born in blessing and not knowing blessings.

People who open the hook can’t afford to hurt.

“You are not curious why Thailand is looking for domestic procurement of the entire fleet? Especially with aircraft carriers?” Wang Hao was too lazy to pay attention to Xie Kai.

The two knew each other too well.

“I didn’t understand before, but now I understand. It’s just that I’m curious why they can listen to you. There is no aircraft carrier building experience in China.” If you don’t know the reason at this moment, Xie Kai’s IQ is problematic.

Thailand is not a big country, and even the army is not too strong.

Wang Hao hasn’t been in Thailand for a long time. Can he tell the Thai military?

After all, Western countries are far better than domestic countries in terms of construction experience or technology. There is no manufacturing technology for large warships in China.

Of course, if the supply ship is considered a large warship, then it has experience.

“This is what the king meant. American shipyards rejected the Thai navy’s order for government reasons. The same is true for British and French shipyards…”

“The Americans want to rebuild a military base in Thailand?” Xie Kai naturally understands why the strongest shipyards in the United States and Western countries that can produce warships are not interested in Thai warships.

“The reason for this is not the main reason. The main reason is that the Thai military is relatively poor. They are not those rich and powerful countries in the Middle East. They have no resources. All expenditures come from fiscal revenue, and they only have more than ten a year. Millions of dollars in military spending…” Wang Hao explained.

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of money.

“What did he say? Can Thailand find out the information?” Li Qingmin looked at Xie Kai expectantly.

This time, they are all confused by Monk Zhang Er.

I don’t know why Thailand is looking for China.

At the welcome banquet in the evening, the Thai military avoided their problems.

“I know a little bit. The Thai tender is still due to money, and not many units are interested.” Xie Kai shared the news he had learned from Wang Hao.

In this matter, Wang Hao made a lot of effort in the middle.

It is not that Wang Hao can influence the decision of the Thai military, but the royal family has named this time. If China can provide a solution for the entire formation to satisfy them and meet the needs of the Thai Navy in time, it will purchase from China .

“You won’t pay the money first?” Gu Baonong was a little disappointed. Seeing Xie Kai nodded, he said embarrassedly, “If we don’t pay for the equipment first, the cost will rise by then, and our profits will be much less?”

“It’s not a question of profit now.” Xie Kai shook his head and said, “The solution for the entire fleet, they need an aircraft carrier, at least four frigates, and two supporting nuclear submarines, the total price does not exceed 1 billion US dollars.”

“Are you kidding?” Li Qingmin felt incredible.

$1 billion to build an aircraft carrier formation?

Is this possible?

Gu Baonong also smiled bitterly, “If this is the case, will there be no aircraft carriers in our country?”

They have no interest in this project.

Xie Kai looked at them and said with a smile, “In fact, it is not what we think. Thailand actually just wants to obtain a helicopter carrier for maritime patrols and rescues in coastal areas…”

“What fleet do you want?” Li Qingmin was a little dissatisfied.

Helicopter aircraft carrier, is that called an aircraft carrier?

It’s not an aircraft carrier at all, and even some large freighters can be transformed into helicopter carriers, but the speed is slower.

“The problem lies here. The Spaniards are currently in a very sluggish economy. In order to obtain this order from the Thai Navy, they have provided a solution that can carry the British Harrier vertical short take-off and landing fighters. In this way, the Thai Navy will naturally I’m tempted…” What I learned from Wang Hao is similar to what Xie Kai has seen on the Internet.

Originally, the Thai Navy only wanted an ordinary helicopter carrier to serve as maritime command and communications during wartime. After all, the poor Thai Navy cannot afford to equip warships dedicated to communications and electronic warfare.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The Spaniard’s plan coincides with the Thai Navy’s desire to obtain a higher level of combat capability through low cost.

“So?” Gu Baonong was sad.

There is no competition at all.

At least, the British Harrier vertical short take-off and landing fighters are not available in China, let alone in China.

If it is an aircraft carrier with a length of more than three hundred meters, it is okay to change it over -7A.

“In this way, we can’t make such a plan even if we don’t make money?” Li Qingmin was a little unwilling.

This has not been formally communicated with the Thai military, and told them that this cooperation cannot be achieved.

“No. But our biggest competition is the Bazin shipyard in Spain.” Xie Kai shook his head.

Since I’m here, I definitely don’t want to give up.

It is a good thing to use Thai navy funds to verify the design of Chinese aircraft carriers, why not do it?

Both of them looked at Xie Kai puzzledly, and they really didn’t understand what Xie Kai meant.

“The Spanish plan can also be adopted. In order to save costs, in their plan, apart from the use of military design specifications for key items related to combat and vitality, flight decks, power plants, power distribution systems, and damage control systems, etc. The ship’s hull structure, etc., all adopt civil ship design specifications…” Xie Kai introduced the situation.

Songying Bingneng helped Wang Hao obtain this information.

The Spanish plan is very suitable for the Thai navy.

Of course, it is appropriate because there will be no better solutions.

“Using civil ship design specifications for warship design? Are you kidding?” Li Qingmin didn’t know how to express his surprise.

If so, will China lack aircraft carriers?

As for the lack of 10,000-ton warships?

“Except for the era of great voyages, the construction of Spanish warships was not serious.” Xie Kai somewhat despised Spain.

Whether it is the first stop or the Second World War, the country’s participation is not very high.

The aircraft carrier not only has high requirements for a country’s industrial system, but it is also a huge gold swallowing beast.

No matter how rich a small country is, whether it is population or land area or resources, it is simply not enough to support it.

But for the sake of the country’s face, and want to own an aircraft carrier, how about it?

Without him, there is only a reduction in the allocation.

“The construction plan provided by the Spaniards, the 10,000-ton light aircraft carrier, the power system is only equivalent to a 3,000-ton frigate, and it is not even as good as our 051 ship power system… After all, the Thai Navy does not require too much speed.” Xie Kai Said with a smile.

Understand the Spanish construction plan, and then modify their plan, the possibility of winning is very high.

“Can warships still be like this?” Li Qingmin really thought it was a joke, “If you can, why not just build a civilian ship? Although the speed is slower, at least it can carry more combat aircraft…”

“A civilian ship is not a warship.” Xie Kai shook his head and said.

If it was the Second World War, the 14 knots or 16 knots that can be reached by ordinary freighters today would be quite good.

“The Spanish quoted less than 400 million U.S. dollars.” Xie Kai ignored the surprised two and continued to talk about the incredible conditions that would impress the Thai navy.

“It’s impossible! US$400 million, which is the price of a medium-sized frigate!”

“For them, the impact of aircraft carriers is far greater than that of frigates.” Gu Baonong sighed.

This is the sorrow of a small country. It lacks money, but it also wants an aircraft carrier. In this way, some losses must be paid.

For example, the Thai aircraft carrier, if it really fought, it would easily sink a few anti-ship missiles.

However, in the whole of Asia today, apart from the third brother of India who owns an aircraft carrier, they will be the second country to own an aircraft carrier. Once they are obtained, they will be the most powerful country in Southeast Asia’s navy…

Various benefits, many.

“People are at this price.” Xie Kai said seriously, “So, if we want to get this project, we can only use other methods. What we need is experience in aircraft carrier design and construction. Melbourne’s structural drawings are also available. It’s… now what is needed is construction to verify our technology, and at the same time, to stimulate the development of supporting facilities…”

“What do you think?” The two looked at Xie Kai expectantly.

“Let’s not talk about it now. I will talk to them tomorrow to see the situation. Of course, I will have someone visit them.” Xie Kai said.

“General, the Spaniard’s aircraft carrier plan is very good.” In the conference room of the Ministry of Defense, the navy commander was very satisfied with the Spaniard’s plan and did not leave work because of the arrival of night.

Looking at Commander Chavalit Yongchaiyu, Naris Weng Suwan didn’t understand what the Commander was still hesitating.

“How is your contact with the Chinese representative?” Chavalit Yongchaiyu did not explain, but asked how the navy department communicated with the Chinese tonight.

Isn’t waiting here just to wait for China’s plan?

“They don’t even have experience in aircraft carrier manufacturing…” the navy commander said dissatisfiedly.

I didn’t talk to the Chinese tonight.

Although the Chinese mentioned it several times in secret, it seemed as if he hadn’t heard it.

If it were not for no alternative, he would not even go to meet the Chinese at all.

The commander of a dignified navy went to receive a representative from a Chinese shipyard that could not even manufacture a few thousand-ton frigate.

“The Spaniard’s asking price is too high, and the so-called aircraft carrier they provide is nothing more than adding a flight deck to a civilian ship…” The Chief of Staff, who has not spoken, expressed his views.

Commander Chavalit Yongchaiyu just glanced at him and said nothing.

“Using the Chinese to force the Spaniards to continue to reduce prices or improve performance?” The admiral of the navy suddenly burst into laughter.

It is best to let them build for free, or even post money to build.

“Do they really say that? Free construction?” The outgoing prime minister Bing Ting Sulanen asked the young man in front of him with some emotion.

For this young Chinese, he didn’t like it at all.

However, the girl whom he has always loved must like, and she is pregnant, what can she do?

Abortion is not allowed in Thailand.

But fortunately, the young man in front of him still has a little ability.

“Lease, they build a new aircraft carrier and lease it to us…Of course, the lease does not include weapon systems, carrier-based aircraft, nor the frigate fleet…” Wang Hao replied solemnly.

The person in front of him is the most powerful person in Thailand. In some respects, he is even more powerful than King Bhumibol. If he is not loyal to the king, he can even lift the king up like the previous ruling soldiers, making the king just a symbol.

He could have been re-elected as prime minister, but he refused.

Although he will soon cease to be the prime minister, he can still interfere in national defense.

Even so, the influence on the entire government and the military is unparalleled.

“The escort fleet and carrier-based aircraft? These are far more expensive than aircraft carriers. Their condition is to purchase their escort fleet and carrier-based fighter jets?” Bing Ting Sulan pointed out the crux of the problem at a glance.

Wang Hao shook his head, “General, that’s not the case. They didn’t ask for it. They only said that the aircraft carrier could be invested and manufactured by themselves, and then leased to us, but they must sign a contract for more than 10 years, in which they provide logistics maintenance and maintenance…

Wang Hao also didn’t understand what Xie Kai said.

What is Xie Kai crazy? How can the new aircraft carrier be leased out?

There is an aircraft carrier, shouldn’t we cultivate our own aircraft carrier fleet? The Chinese waters are so large, but the combat effectiveness of warships is so small…

“What about the rent?” The general felt a little weird.

Without a lot of embarrassing additional conditions, and there is no requirement to purchase a Chinese escort fleet, just like this to help build the aircraft carrier?

“It depends on what aircraft carrier we need. If it is a light aircraft carrier, the 10,000-ton class built by the Spaniards, equipped with helicopters and Harrier vertical short-range takeoff and landing fighters, it is estimated to be about 30 million US dollars a year; If it is a medium-sized aircraft carrier of 30,000 to 40,000 tons, the annual rent may be more than 50 million US dollars…” Wang Hao relayed Xie Kai’s words to the most powerful person in Thailand.

“What is their purpose? There is no good thing, they will not do…” Bing Ting Su La Nuan’s brows frowned even more tightly.
