Chapter 723

Qi Zhiyuan looked at Xie Kai and didn’t know what to say for a while.

He wanted to tell Xie Kai that the exchanged F-14 must not tolerate any loss, otherwise he would never get it again.

It is impossible for Americans to provide F-14. Even if it is provided, the price is not acceptable for 404, otherwise the country will buy it back.

“Uncle Qi, I always feel that we are engaged in an aircraft carrier. The time is not right.” Xie Kai still said, “We don’t have enough funds. The difference is too far. For the aircraft carrier, carrier-based aircraft have to do anything… ”

“Relevant naval departments will also cooperate, and it is not our family.” Qi Zhiyuan has always felt that Xie Kai is boycotting the aircraft carrier project. Although he said that he ran and agreed, he didn’t care about the F-14. See you on the aircraft carrier.

“How much can the Navy pay?” Xie Kai laughed sadly, “I have shipped ten to now, and there are no orders. Continue, will I continue to pay for the plane and fly for fun? Or we can buy it from the base? …”

“Difficulties are only temporary.” Qi Zhiyuan said with lack of confidence.

The conversation between the two ended in this way.

Xie Kai decided that no matter what they did with the aircraft carrier, they would go back to school honestly, and it would not be long before the final exam.

“Really from Afghanistan?” Zheng Yucheng and others felt that it was safer for the fighters to return from Persia to Pakistan, but it was difficult to communicate with Pakistan. They flew all the way and had to pass too many air defense radar stations.

Pakistan and Persia are not very coping, and there are also frictions on the border.

There are many people from the U.S. emperor in Pakistan. The Chinese have obtained the F-14, and the U.S. emperor must not know about it.

Wang Guilin introduced the conditions for communicating with Hazari. Basically, the Persians agreed to exchange the F-14 for the F-7. The Chinese gave the ground red flag missile technology, and the Persians took all their scrapped F-14 spare parts with them. The technical data developed over the years are provided to the Chinese side.

This is an extremely beneficial benefit for both parties.

Of course, Persia also requires that after the Chinese have made it out, they must give priority to the Persians.

They didn’t ask the Chinese side to share technology, they were kind.

“We have been operating there for so long. The Afghan Soviet army’s air defense forces are mainly concentrated in the south near Pakistan. The west border with Persia does not have much defense, just some ground posts…” Xie Kai said.

“The mercenary group is mainly active in the northeast area…” Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai.

“No, the Southwest region also has business.” Xie Kai said, “Specifically, you can contact Liao Dong and discuss with them before making a plan. I have to go to school anyway.”

After Xie Kai finished speaking, he got up and left.

Whether it is signing this large-scale arms sales contract with Ibrahim or secretly signing the F-7 for F-14 transaction contract with Hazari, there is nothing he has to do.

If you don’t go back to school again, you won’t have to think about the final exams this time.

Maybe he will be the first dismissed student since the establishment of Huaqing University.

“Xie Kai, wait a minute.” Zheng Yucheng stopped Xie Kai. “You don’t support the aircraft carrier project?”

“Uncle Zheng, you have wronged me.” Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, wondering what kind of evil the old guy turned against, “Aren’t we preparing for the aircraft carrier.”

“Let’s talk less about it. You didn’t agree at the beginning. Now that you get the F-14, you have channels, but you don’t need it. You have to take the Afghanistan adventure…” Zheng Yucheng said uncomfortably. “What do you think? Isn’t naval equipment important?”

The others just sat and watched, drinking tea, smoking, smoking, as if it had nothing to do with them.

Xie Jianguo wanted to wink Xie Kai, but Wang Guilin glared at him, but he could only light a cigarette passed by Qi Zhiyuan, and looked at the poplar tree whose leaves had begun to fall outside the window.

Looking at Zheng Yucheng, then at several other people secretly looking at himself, knowing their thoughts.

For the first time, he opposed a project like this.

“Navy equipment is very important.” Xie Kai said calmly, “but we shouldn’t have to spend money in it because it is important. We 404 to now, it can be said that it is completely due to many coincidences… If there is no Iran-Iraq war, we would even engage in it. Out of 359 tanks, it was just barely enough to feed themselves and feed the entire base of more than 30,000 people…”

“I know what everyone thinks. With more than 10 billion funds, deposited in banks, interest can be more than 2 billion a year. I think we have enough funds, and I want to intervene in any project…” Xie Kai knows Their thoughts.

He himself originally thought the same way.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The 404 project involves many basic research fields, such as materials, heat treatment technology, welding technology, machinery manufacturing and other advanced technology research fields…

The overall project, from the army’s tanks and armored vehicles to the aviation field of fighters and transport aircraft; to the aerospace field of missiles and rocket launchers; now it is beginning to extend its hands to naval equipment projects.

If it were just a guided missile destroyer, Xie Kai would not object to it.

A special aircraft carrier as soon as it comes up.

Now that you have an aircraft carrier, you have to have a carrier-based aircraft, an early warning aircraft, an anti-submarine aircraft, and a long-range air defense radar, right?

With an aircraft carrier, to go to sea, you have to have an escorted battle formation, a supply fleet, or even a nuclear submarine equipped with underwater protection, right?

How long can a conventional submarine keep up with the waves of the aircraft carrier?

Before going out for a few days, you have to go back to the old nest to cheer, or else you will lie down.

Not to mention that the aircraft carrier involves too many fields, even the power system and basic materials can not be done with a little money.

Everything has to be spent.

We can only wait until the country has accumulated enough technology and we have money, and then we can do it again.


If you do it now, you will have to 404 to cover most of the funds.

Is this more than ten billion enough?

“Our time can’t be wasted anymore. If we don’t do it now, we will only have a bigger gap with foreign countries…” Zheng Yucheng murmured after hearing Xie Kai’s grievances.

“Think of a way? What do you think? The Iran-Iraq War is about to end. Silly Damu doesn’t want to fight anymore and is short of money!” Xie Kai said angrily.

“Don’t we still have projects in the civilian field? Wait a few years, and profits will come up. The mechanical engineering plant in Jiayuguan will be put into operation in the next year.” Xie Jianguo also comforted his son.

“How much can we do in that year? In the civilian field, the profit is far lower than that of military products. In the short term, how much can we earn in a year? Once the aircraft carrier is deployed, the funds required will be massive.” Xie Kai didn’t know.

According to his assumption, Varangg would have to wait another six or seven years when he came back soon.

By that time, Yunshi should be able to support itself; the fighter jet project can also begin to recover research and development funds, and the domestic technology level has accumulated to a certain period of time.

Drag Varyag back and continue construction. It is entirely possible that the Navy will have an aircraft carrier before entering the 21st century.

Carrier-based aircraft can be purchased from Da Mao, and the power system can be removed from Er Mao and secretly recovered, and then they can be improved while studying.

But now, everything has to start from scratch.

Materials, large cranes, 100,000-ton shipyards, etc. all need to be worked on.

No money, get a ball!

“Xie Kai, your idea is right.” Wang Guilin nodded, “We really did too many projects.”

“Not only does it do too much, but there is no sufficient technical reserve at all! The limited funds should be used on the blade.” Xie Kai is most worried about this problem. “There are too many projects. Once the capital chain has problems, eventually , All projects will be affected…”

This issue has been discussed a lot during this time.

There is not much planning for the entire base, as long as the funds on hand currently allow it, it will be launched.

And there are not too many that really yielded results.

“Don’t forget that we have the whole country standing behind us.” Zheng Yucheng reminded Xie Kai, “If it is just our unit, no matter what, it is impossible to support it.”

“Do you think that we dig people so hard, without the acquiescence of the superiors and the aftermath, 404 can develop to the present level?” Xie Jianguo also said, “The army needs patience, national defense construction cannot stop. We have tens of billions of funds in our hands. , Don’t spend it, do you think, what will happen in the end?”

Xie Kai was silent.

It’s not that he doesn’t know, but if this is done, the pressure of capital demand will make people crazy.

“We all know how much funding is needed for this. But we can’t stop doing it because of the pressure. The army, air force, and navy are all important components of our national defense. China’s suffering comes from the sea…” Wang Guilin sighed, “Xie Kai, take a look at this picture. General Liu hopes you will meet him when you have time…”

Xie Kai took the photo, and the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning.

In the photo, a short old man dressed without a military rank, tiptoe and stretch his head to look at the aircraft carrier facility next to a US military pilot…

“If China doesn’t engage in aircraft carriers, I won’t be stunned!”

The old man’s words echoed in Xie Kai’s mind.

“This is the purpose of our aircraft carrier. Only when the aircraft carrier plan is launched and the guided missile destroyers and frigates of the escort formation can speed up the progress… But we do not have a clear time for the aircraft carrier, nor does it mention how long it will take Come out…” Zheng Yucheng said forcefully, “The country has no money or energy to do it now. Anyway, we will do it sooner or later, and we will also encounter these problems if we do it in the future…”

“Okay, just do it…” Xie Kai didn’t want to listen.

Everyone knows the truth.

Not enough money!

Not counting the cost of technology research and development, an aircraft carrier formation now costs tens of billions.

Where to get money?

He doesn’t have any confidence anyway.

“You can figure it out for yourself.” Wang Guilin didn’t force it.



Xie Kai still didn’t speak.

The entire base, all projects, and the future consumption of funds are not small, especially the informatization area, which is a weakness for the entire 404.

Can’t help but continue to develop, isn’t it?
