Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1080

Even Li Qingmin thinks that Thailand is taking a big advantage.

Twenty years ago, everyone knew how valuable that money was.

Now that the domestic economic growth rate is accelerating, the purchasing power of the same unit of money has also become lower.

“What if we don’t want to rent out?” Even if the Thais know they are taking advantage, they still disagree.

They still hope that the aircraft carrier belongs to the Thai navy from the beginning, otherwise it will be upset in the future.

“General, this is not a mere lease. We can understand it as purchasing by leasing, although such a program has never appeared in military equipment trading projects.” Xie Kai continued to promote this program.

The expression on his face is entirely for Thailand’s consideration.

Li Qingmin and Gu Baonong could hardly speak in this matter.

They didn’t even understand such a scheme at first.

What’s more, they never thought that they could win the Thai navy’s order with one contact.

First understand the needs and introduce China’s plan. If both parties feel that there is a basis for cooperation, then continue negotiations until everyone is satisfied.

But I never thought that Xie Kai would propose such a plan.

“Then you can only buy it. There are two options, one is the full payment when the aircraft carrier is delivered. I personally feel that this is not in line with the development of your country’s navy…We hope that both parties can win-win.” Xie Kai is a bit embarrassed Up.

What a good way to rent on behalf of others.

In the beginning, I don’t need much money at all. I pay a part of it every year, although the total price will be paid a lot more, which is relatively lower than the loan interest.

“What is the other plan?” Naris Onsuwan asked eagerly.

The solution provided by the Chinese team is much better than that of the Spaniard.

If possible, he still hopes that his navy can have a real aircraft carrier.

“Mortgage! Your country pays part of the down payment, and we find a bank to use the aircraft carrier for mortgage loans.” Xie Kai said.

Thailand’s economic development continued until 1998. When the economic storm broke out in 1998, Thailand was engaged by Soros and the economy almost collapsed. At that time, if the Thai navy is unable to repay, the aircraft carrier can also be recovered. of.

Either way, Xie Kai did not intend to let the Thai navy take advantage.

This has nothing to do with his feelings about Thailand, it is purely for national interests.

At that time, if the Chinese Navy had an aircraft carrier, the training preparations for the aircraft carrier could be advanced many years. Perhaps by the time of 2008, there will be a dual aircraft carrier formation in China.

Only in this way can the Navy have aircraft carriers available.

“What about the interest?” The Thai frowned.

After all, free for the Chinese is not really free, but for higher profits.

“According to the total amount. If your country orders escort fleets, submarines, supply ships and carrier-based aircraft in China, the interest can be negotiated, and even interest-free loans are provided…” Xie Kai said without hesitation.

Li Qingmin and Gu Baonong understand the meaning of Xie Kai better.

This kid, regardless of the plan, is for greater benefits.

There is no requirement that Thailand must purchase the warships, supply ships and submarines of the escort fleet from their shipyards, but it uses profits.

As for the other escort fleets, there is no need for mortgages or instalments at all.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The construction of the Thai navy also needs to purchase warships to enhance its national defense capabilities. In this way, when they build the escort fleet, the funds will go into the pockets of the Chinese shipyards.

Naris Weng Suwan looked dissatisfied, “The escort fleet must purchase yours? Can you provide carrier-based aircraft?”

“There is no problem with helicopters. After all, we have introduced a full set of helicopter production technology from France! And carrier-based fighter jets will soon be available.” Xie Kai is not worried at all. “In the navy equipment, according to your navy’s strategy, I don’t think there is a need for very strong ocean-going capabilities. Therefore, for frigates, we suggest that there is no need to build too large tonnage. The 053 model that our navy is equipped with is sufficient for your navy…”

Xie Kai not only sells aircraft carrier construction plans, but even plans for the escort fleet to help the Thai people think about it.

This is not a sudden flash of inspiration for him now, but a plan originally developed based on the construction of the Thai navy.

In order to give the aircraft carrier a whole escort fleet, they purchased 4 053H2 frigates from China instead of larger tonnage.

The Thai navy’s strategy, whether it is the Indian Ocean or the Pacific, does not conflict with their interests. The more distant Atlantic Ocean has nothing to do with them.

“Four 2,000-ton frigates? The frigates you sold to Saudi Arabia are too expensive.” Chavalit Yongchaiyu shook his head.

Each frigate sells for 200 million U.S. dollars. You know, their aircraft carrier was originally planned for about 400 million U.S. dollars.

For a 400 million U.S. aircraft carrier, build a escort fleet that costs more than one billion, unless there is a problem with the head.

“No, your country’s naval strategy is different from that of Saudi Arabia. The seas on both sides of Saudi Arabia, whether it is the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea, are long and narrow. Their frigates not only have anti-submarine-to-ship attack capabilities, but they are also equipped with air defense systems. The ground attack system…” Xie Kai explained.

Expensive, there must be a reason.

In the world, it is estimated that there is no frigate of the same tonnage that has such perfect functions as the frigate sold to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

Although, the above air defense system does not even have area air defense capabilities.

You know, in 052, the Chinese navy did not even have a frigate with regional air defense capabilities. With strong regional air defense capabilities, we have to wait until the Chinese Aegis ships of 052C and D models appear.

“In order to reduce costs, we can also make improvements to these warships. Instead of installing so many systems on all warships, we will be equipped with one or two frigates with comprehensive combat capabilities, and we can also perform tasks independently at ordinary times. When needed Just like the aircraft carrier formation… other frigates, for example, some are dedicated to air defense, some are dedicated to anti-ship, and as for ground attack, such a function is not necessary for the aircraft carrier fleet at all…”

In order for the Thais to buy the Chinese frigate, Xie Kai also exhausted his lips.

Naturally, the small aircraft carrier fleet cannot be compared with the luxurious escort fleet of the world’s naval powers.

Take a look at the American aircraft carrier fleet. There are several Aegis ships escorted, and they are also equipped with other frigates, nuclear submarines and so on.

Such a configuration, even if Thailand has the money to equip it, can it afford it?

“Even, the submarine is not necessary at the beginning. As long as it has enough anti-submarine capabilities…By then, the aircraft carrier will be equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, and almost all the frigates in the escort fleet will have anti-submarine capabilities…” Xie Kai saw the opponent tempted and continued to increase.

Doesn’t the Thai navy just want to have more functions at a lower cost?

It’s all small things.

“What if we are unwilling to purchase your country’s escort fleet and the weapon system it carries?” Bing Ting Sulanon, who had not spoken, asked Xie Kai.

For this young man, he developed a keen interest.

It is said that the relationship with Wang Hao is very good?

How are these young people cultivated?

“No problem, we can just talk about the aircraft carrier plan. The price of a helicopter carrier or a light aircraft carrier is definitely not more than 400 million US dollars; and a real aircraft carrier with 30,000 tons of complete functions, excluding weapon systems, will not cost more than 700 million US dollars. Go for some configurations, and the cost can be even lower.” Xie Kai calmly quoted an approximate price.

Why can the Spaniards win the Thai Navy’s aircraft carrier order?

On the one hand, it is because they have experience in light aircraft carrier construction, and more importantly, the price is low!

The light aircraft carrier purchased by the Thai Navy from them cost only 360 million U.S. dollars. This price also includes some spare parts and technical support.

“What is your kid’s calculation? You can force them to pack together and purchase the escort fleet from us at this opportunity. Even if we sell 4 more 053, this is not a small amount of money.” Gu Baonong complained a little bit Xie Kai.

Li Qingming is also waiting for Xie Kai’s explanation. They know that Zheng Yucheng and others will definitely support such a plan.

Obviously there is a chance to get more orders and contracts.

Xie Kai gave up.

“They will buy a frigate from us.” Xie Kai said calmly.

Li Qingmin looked at the honey on Xie Kai’s face with confidence, a little speechless, “Why are you so sure?”

“Because our frigate is cheap.” Xie Kai said with a smile.

The two men are full of black lines.

Cheap!

The domestic navy procurement contract price is only 46 million soft sister coins. According to the international exchange rate at the time, it is about 15 million U.S. dollars. The kid Xie Kai randomly added some innocuous functions to it, and the price directly soared to 2 One hundred million U.S. dollars.

Now I am embarrassed to say that it is cheap.

“Saudi warships, they will not buy them. As I said before, the naval strategies of the two countries are different. After all, the ground red flag missile has a range of only about 230 kilometers, and it can be used in either the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea. Attacked on the country’s territory across the sea; the Thai navy wants to purchase aircraft carriers with only one purpose, which is to counter the Vietnamese navy…” Xie Kai said triumphantly.

The distance between Thailand and Vietnam is not far, and the unfriendly relationship between the two sides lasted for many years.

Even in later generations, the Vietnamese were equipped with submarines, and the Thai navy went to China to buy submarines. Otherwise, what did they do with this thing?

“So, in this case, we don’t need to sell that kind. A slight modification of 053H2 is enough for them to use. The price of one ship is only 50 or 60 million US dollars. This way, they can get the entire aircraft carrier The fleet does not exceed US$1.5 billion, and it still includes carrier-based fighters!”

Xie Kai did not say that if the Thai military purchases from China, even the entire fleet can be mortgaged and paid in installments.

No country in the world would agree to such a plan.
