Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1079

“You don’t need to pay too much to get a real aircraft carrier without affecting the navy and national defense construction?”

Regarding such a good thing, whether it is Chief of Staff Shuntong Khlong Sompong or Naval Commander Naris Yongchaiyu, they are very tempted.

Aircraft carrier, the top equipment of any country’s navy.

Who wouldn’t want to get it without affecting the entire navy or even national defense construction?

If the Spaniards hadn’t provided a better plan to make them tempted, how could they think about adjusting the entire navy’s development plan?

But this matter is too hard to understand.

“No, they paid for the construction and leased it to us. We have to pay the rent every year, although we don’t think it will affect our national defense plan. If the contract ends, they will no longer lease it to us…” Naris Weng Suwan said with dissatisfaction, “No matter how much an aircraft carrier can serve for 30 to 40 years, if the requirements are not high, it can even serve for a longer period of time…”

Obviously, they understand what the Chinese are thinking.

Let the Thai navy pay money to help the Chinese navy build warships. By then, the Chinese navy will have one more aircraft carrier, and the Thai navy, which has paid a large rent, will eventually face the situation that there is no aircraft carrier available.

“This is indeed a problem, a very serious problem.” The Secretary of Defense also reacted.

But now, with the plan proposed by the Chinese, they no longer want the light aircraft carrier proposed by the Spaniard.

“The Chinese did not force us to purchase their carrier-based fighters. We can choose to import carrier-based fighters from the United States or France. In this way, it will also carry more than a dozen fighters, regardless of its combat capability or combat radius. Very big improvement…” Naris Yongchaiyu said.

He hopes to agree to China’s project plan.

The only problem is that it cannot be rented.

Otherwise, in the end, the Thai navy is helping the Chinese navy to make wedding dresses, and the aircraft carrier will become Chinese after more than ten or twenty years.

A 30,000-ton light aircraft carrier, if not counted as carrier-based aircraft and weapon systems, not counted as an escort fleet, would cost a maximum of 600 to 700 million U.S. dollars.

If the requirements are lowered, the cost will be lower as for the Spaniard’s plan, and higher cruising speeds and maximum speeds are not required. In combination with the Spaniard’s plan, some unimportant systems will adopt civilian ship technical standards, even US0 million. You can take it down from left to right.

It is obviously impossible for the military to spend 500 million US dollars at a time. After all, it must be equipped with carrier-based aircraft systems, supporting escort fleets, etc., at least more than 2 billion US dollars.

“If the Chinese side can allow us to pay a sum of money each year and loan us to build aircraft carriers or even supporting fleets, their plan will be perfect…” Commander Chavalit Yongchaiyu said with a look of anticipation.

The same is true for others.

“After learning about their construction plan for a while, we will negotiate with them.” Bing Ting Sulanon gave instructions, “It will take ten or even twenty years to pay off the construction money of the entire fleet, which is even more important. It is in line with the development of our navy. As the country’s economy grows, the national defense budget will gradually increase…”

“Or, our carrier-based fighters can also use this method…” Shuntong Khong Songpeng suggested.

Everyone was overjoyed.

If so, they will soon have the only aircraft carrier fleet in Southeast Asia.

“Will they agree?”

The Chinese are not fools.

Building an aircraft carrier requires a lot of money.

There is a lack of funding for construction in China.

“Mortgage loan?” Xie Kai said to them that Thailand is not a idiot, and leased for decades. In the end, the aircraft carrier was still Chinese. Xie Kai proposed such a plan.

Mortgage loans were used to deliver the entire fleet to the Thai Navy, which lacked money.

Even Mo Qi and Gu Baonong couldn’t turn around.

Xie Kai first proposed building an aircraft carrier for free, but it is not really free to build.

Free thing, is it possible?

In this world, there has never been a pie in the sky.

Li Qingmin and Gu Baonong knew from the beginning that Xie Kai couldn’t give each other a free building. The 404 people always wanted money but life.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I didn’t look at, warships like 053H3 just added some simple ground attack missiles and a set of short-range air defense missile systems. The price directly rose from the 46 million soft sister coins of the original naval contract price to 200 million US dollars. ?

It’s just that they have never figured out how to make money with a scheme like Xie Kai.

Now it really started to show his fangs.

“They are not fools. If they want to bear more loan interest, they would never agree to such a plan.” Li Qingmin sighed.

Xie Kai took it for granted.

If this is the case, it is an absolute good thing for China. It will benefit not only the Hudong Shipyard, but also other supporting naval construction units.

Even the CITIC Bank can get very lucrative profits.

No one is a fool.

“Don’t worry, everyone will know in a while. They will agree!” Xie Kai smiled, as proud as a weasel who had successfully eaten a chicken without being caught.

Finally, it’s time.

For the first time, Hudong Shipyard and the senior officials of the Thai military sat together.

“The 30,000-ton light aircraft carrier plan: the length of the ship is 278 meters, the width is 43 meters, and the length of the flight squad is 268 meters…” After Xie Kai communicated with Li Qingmin and others, even if they were extremely unwilling, Xie Kai provided them with the plan. Made an introduction.

This plan is in the briefcase that Mo Qi carries with him.

Li Qingming and others had never seen it before, and even Mo Qi didn’t know that there was such a plan in her briefcase before.

There are two plans in total.

The first plan is similar to the Spaniard’s plan.

And this plan is just data, let Li Qingmin and the others know that it is the design plan of 707!

“Aircraft carrier-based aircraft use ski jumps to take off… In order to save construction costs, the flight deck, power system, watertight cabin design, etc. of the warship adopt military standards, and the rest adopt civil ship design standards; the internal hangar is eliminated, and 18 ship-borne aircraft can be carried. Aircraft or 24 medium-sized helicopters…”

The specific carrier-based aircraft is not introduced in the plan.

“Cancel the hangar on the ship?” The Thai military was unhappy.

Without the internal hangar, is it still a real aircraft carrier?

Now the high level of the Thai military has made it clear that their purpose is to allow the Thai Navy to have a real aircraft carrier, not a light aircraft carrier that can only carry helicopters and vertical take-off and landing fighters.

Although the British Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter jets shot down 21 Argentine fighters, including the Super Banner, because they did not suffer any damage during the Battle of Falkland Islands, this thing is based on the fact that it has more battles, and has sea fleet support and air defense. A series of superior conditions such as firepower, advanced air-to-air missiles with better performance, etc. have achieved the results.

The Vietnamese Air Force has a large number of advanced Soviet fighters. If the performance of the Harrier VTOL fighter is really strong, it is estimated that there will not be so few orders.

Besides, this thing has a very bad nickname—widowmaker.

“This is also to save costs…” Xie Kai said with a smile, “It is certainly not a problem to build an internal hangar. In that case, the number of carrier aircraft can reach 37…”

“If we don’t want to use the lease, are there any other plans without occupying too much funds?” Naris Weng Suwan asked.

They will not pay a large sum of money as the Chinese want, and in the end the aircraft carrier will still be Chinese.

It is not a problem for an aircraft carrier to serve for half a century. What’s more, the strategic goal of the Thai Navy is not to dominate the world like the US and Soviet Union, but to have a forward base during wartime and a maritime command and communication platform for rescue.

Li Qingmin looked at each other with Gu Baonong and others.

They didn’t expect that the reaction of the Thai military would be the same as the analysis of the kid Xie Kai.

“Of course there is a plan.” Xie Kai smiled thicker, “Mortgage loan.”

“Let us bear the high interest on the loan?”

The Thais are angry.

The other party is actually making this kind of calculation. Do you think that the top ranks of the Thai military are all fools?

“No, we don’t recommend this method. The lease plan can be extended, and even a 20-year lease can be signed directly. Based on the rent, the aircraft carrier will be directly gifted to your navy…” Xie Kai smiled Said.

“What about the conditions?”

The other party has bared his fangs, obviously wanting to get more funds.

“The total amount reaches 1.2 billion U.S. dollars. For example, with a rent of 60 million U.S. dollars a year, 20 years later, this aircraft carrier will be yours…”

“…”

The Chinese are too shameless.

According to this construction plan, a light aircraft carrier of 30,000 tons will cost no more than 600 million U.S. dollars. The Chinese actually require them to pay 1.2 billion U.S. dollars to transfer the ownership of the aircraft carrier to them!

This is far more than three times the original planned price.

Even Li Qingmin and the others felt that Xie Kai was too much.

It is said to be built for free, but it requires people to pay a higher price.

“We can’t afford such a price!” Chavalit Yongchaiyu directly let Xie Kai and the others die.

The price of a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier for 1.2 billion US dollars is too high.

“General, the price is actually not high. Twenty years, although the overall price is said to be so much, but inflation, changes in international exchange rates, etc., do not affect the price. To use the simplest example, twenty years ago Everyone knows how far the purchasing power of US$1.2 billion is from the current US$1.2 billion…” Since Xie Kai is mentioning this, it is impossible to be unprepared.

The 1.2 billion US dollars in the 1960s was definitely an astonishingly huge amount of money.

Although it is still a large amount, the purchasing power is far worse than in the 1960s.

It is impossible for the high-level of the Thai military to understand this.

Because according to Thailand’s economic growth, it is estimated that it will be close to 200 billion U.S. dollars in ten years. According to the current ratio, even if only 2% of military expenditures are spent, this will cost 4 billion U.S. dollars. They also only need to pay 50 million U.S. dollars, which will not affect national defense at all. …
