Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1078

Everyone turned their eyes to Xie Kai.

Even Li Qingmin and Gu Baonong don’t know what Xie Kai wants to do.

Although the aircraft carrier 707 has been dismounted, it is still a top-secret thing. Xie Kai said it here and it has been secretly involved.

“General, it’s not that our navy doesn’t want to equip it, nor that we can’t produce it, but that we have no money! The whole world knows that China’s entire country’s strategic focus is now on economic construction. With an army of more than three million, and such a huge army, the annual military expenditure does not exceed 7 billion US dollars…” Xie Kai’s face was a little lonely.

If military expenditures are as high as 30 years later, and they spend crazy money every year, what equipment will the Chinese army have?

If you have technology and no money, it’s no use.

The navy has no money!

“The navy has no money, so our aircraft carrier has not been built. Otherwise, according to the original plan, our aircraft carrier fleet has formed combat capabilities…” Xie Kai continued quietly.

The dismounting of the 707 aircraft carrier is a painful thing for the Navy.

Although the displacement is only 30,000 tons, and it is still a light aircraft carrier, it is also an aircraft carrier.

Moreover, it is a domestically-made aircraft carrier, and the pre-research work of the aircraft carrier is still ongoing in China. The aircraft carrier captain training class has been started in 1985, and the country is even considering building a land take-off and landing simulation training system for carrier-based aircraft pilots…

What about Xie Kai’s domestic aircraft carrier project?

“In view of these circumstances, the two generals do not need to worry at all. Moreover, during the construction of the aircraft carrier, you do not need to pay any construction costs. There will be no loss… Of course, if you just need one ship Helicopter aircraft carriers, or light aircraft carriers equipped with British Harrier vertical short take-off and landing fighters, this is not a problem. The contract can be delivered within 5 years…” Xie Kai said.

Gu Baonong looked at Li Qingmin, and Li Qingmin’s brows wrinkled into the word Sichuan.

In 5 years, it is impossible.

It’s too late to stop Xie Kai now.

“Delivered in five years?” Chavalit looked at Xie Kai and asked in disbelief, “You don’t have any construction experience, five years…”

“Yes, five years!” Xie Kai said affirmatively.

“Xie Kai, this…” Li Qingmin finally did not hold back, reminding Xie Kai worriedly.

Mo Qi was in charge of the record. At this time, she raised her head and looked at Xie Kai. She is not the kind of Xiaobai who didn’t understand anything at the beginning. Regardless of the various systems or other things above, they are more complicated.

Not worrying is strange.

“Of course, this is just an aircraft carrier.” Xie Kai knew what they were worried about.

The Spaniards can build a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier in five years. Why can’t China now?

Moreover, in order to save time, when the Spaniard delivered, it was delivered while testing at sea, and sailed back slowly from the Mediterranean. The voyage was the delivery process.

It is exactly the same way that Xie Kai proposed to deliver the frigate to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

The entire program is an upgraded version of the program provided to Thailand by the Spanish.

“Are you sure you can?” Even Bing Ting Sulanon felt that the other party’s bragging was too big.

The aircraft carrier is not a civilian ship.

Xie Kai looked at these people with contempt.

Don’t you know that China’s speed has always been a miracle in the world?

The first domestically-made aircraft carrier took only two years and 50 days from construction to launch!

Of course, this speed was later broken by the Turks, because the Turks were faster. After more than nine months of construction, the aircraft carrier had basically taken shape, and it was launched in more than a year.

But this is not comparable at all.

Because the aircraft carrier built by the Turks is only a light aircraft carrier with a full load of more than 20,000 tons and a technical support from the Spanish Bazin shipyard.

For China’s 001A aircraft carrier, everything is built by itself, and nothing is imported.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After more than two years of construction, one and a half years of outfitting, and another year of sea trials, as long as there is no problem with the 707’s drawings, this is not a problem.

What’s more, Thailand’s goal is a light aircraft carrier equipped with vertical take-off and landing fighters.

If you want to match a fixed-wing fighter, it will definitely take longer.

Negotiations started in 1988, until winning the bid in 1992, construction started in 1994, launched in 1996, and delivered in 97. It only took five years from signing to delivery.

But there are still several years ahead?

“It’s not a problem at all. General, we are a national shipyard!” Li Qingmin felt uncomfortable when he was suspected. He straightened his chest and said, “We can complete the delivery of a frigate like 053 in one year!”

This is a matter of national dignity.

The speed of construction is not only a matter for Hudong Shipyard, but also a matter for the entire system of the national naval equipment manufacturing field.

“Do you have carrier-based aircraft?”

“Not now. After the aircraft carrier is successfully built, it will definitely be there.” Xie Kai said calmly, “Our country has built an aircraft carrier for more than 20 years. Do you think there will be no supporting carrier-based aircraft plan?”

You have to install a full set if you are forced to act.

Without carrier-based aircraft, so what?

From when Zheng Yucheng and the others wanted to build an aircraft carrier, they took over the J-9 project from the base and made Super-7. In the end, the Super-7 project was divided into two and became Super-7A and Super-7B. Over the carrier-based aircraft program.

The take-off and run distance of super-7A is only 320 meters, which is also considered for boarding.

Of course, the Super-7A was originally positioned as a trainer, and there are also some light fighters with integrated combat capabilities that are not suitable for the Chinese Navy’s own use.

“This kid proposed to build an aircraft carrier for free just to sell fighters?” Li Qingmin’s mouth was cramped.

Gu Baonong also felt the same way.

How many fighter jets can Thailand buy?

Moreover, their fighters are basically American fighters, such as F-5 and OV-10C Mustangs. Now it is said that the Thai Air Force is still in contact with the United States and is preparing to purchase F-16s…

How could they buy Chinese fighter jets?

“Can you introduce your carrier aircraft?” Bing Ting Sulanon asked.

Xie Kai shook his head, “I’m very sorry, General, if we don’t reach an agreement on the aircraft carrier project, we can’t continue to introduce other related packages.”

His plan really tempted the high level of the Thai military.

If it is possible, who would not want the Navy’s aircraft carriers to have more functions?

In the beginning, the Thai navy just wanted a helicopter carrier.

Later, the Spaniards came, and they said that they could deliver to Thailand a light aircraft carrier capable of carrying fighter jets and a higher level of combat at a lower price.

Now, the Chinese are here, saying that they can provide them with a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of about 30,000 tons at a lower cost.

Therefore, the Thai military is even more tempted.

The larger the aircraft carrier’s tonnage, the more functions can definitely be.

The British Harrier vertical short take-off and landing fighter jets do not conform to the future development of the Thai Navy. If this type of fighter adopts the vertical take-off and landing method, not only will the combat radius be greatly shortened, but even the combat effectiveness will be insufficient because of the lack of weapons and ammunition carried.

It is impossible to carry other fighters. The aircraft carrier plan provided by the Spaniards has a standard displacement of only 7000 tons and an overall length of about 180 meters. No fighter can take off and land on such a short runway…

Therefore, two senior officials in Thailand need to convene other members of the military to discuss this matter.

“Are you crazy? Although the 707 project is discontinued, it is also a top-secret project! What if the Thai people really accept our plan?” Gu Baonong looked at Xie Kai seriously.

They never thought that Xie Kai’s plan was like this.

I told them last night that I thought Xie Kai was just a whim.

“Secretary Gu, calm down!” Xie Kai knew why they were angry, “Lao Zheng, they will definitely agree to this matter.”

“Why did you agree? Where does the funding for the aircraft carrier come from?” Li Qingmin was extremely dissatisfied.

Xie Kai knows, it won’t work if I don’t explain it now.

Although the plan has been considered before, Xie Kai has not made up his mind.

Qi Zhiyuan and the others would never let go for the sake of the aircraft carrier. Under such circumstances, they could only transfer the manufacturing costs.

“Funds can be loaned. After delivery, Thailand will provide rent every year…” Xie Kai doesn’t worry about funding at all. CITIC Bank will definitely agree to loans, earn foreign exchange, and provide soft sister coins.

“Actually, the main problem is not funding. What we need is projects. As long as we have projects, we can speed up the construction and upgrade of supporting systems for all domestic units!” Xie Kai said solemnly, “Only with construction projects can we verify our aircraft carrier forecast The results of the research process can be further improved…”

If it weren’t for this, how could he make such an opinion?

In the final analysis, it is for the domestic aircraft carrier.

“Do you want to use this opportunity to promote the establishment of an aircraft carrier? But have you ever thought about it, this will cause a technical leak!” Li Qingmin understood what Xie Kai meant.

No wonder he said that 404 executives would agree to such a plan.

Not to mention that the 404 executives will agree, the navy will also agree.

Use other people’s money to develop your own technology, whoever disagrees is foolish.

“If the Thai side only signs a ten-year contract with us, they will bear part of the construction cost at that time, and the navy side will have a training ship…” Xie Kai fully introduced his ideas.

Once Thailand agrees, the maintenance and so on must be provided by China, and even China can arrange for some technicians to follow the aircraft carrier to obtain more technical parameters.

“What if they don’t want our carrier-based aircraft?” Gu Baonong asked Xie Kai.

“They will agree to it.” Xie Kai is convinced of this, with a face of affirmation, “unless they just want a light aircraft carrier or a helicopter carrier!”

Will the Thai military agree to only use ordinary helicopter carriers?
