Chapter 708 Can China Change Iowa into a Missile Battleship in 50 Years?

Liu Yijiu expressed his thoughts to Mist and Donald Conrad, the director of the US National Strategic Security Agency last time.

After returning to China, the Department of Defense, the Bureau of Strategy and even the US government discussed this matter in secret.Although the relationship between Red China and the evil Soviet Union is not very good, anyway, China is a communist regime ruling the entire country.

If we want to eliminate it completely, we must start from within China.

Liu Yijiu is young enough and has enough ambition.

In the era of President White, the National Strategic Security Agency began to prepare to overthrow the Soviet Union, starting from the political, economic, military and even cultural aspects.After Reagan, the president who publicly promoted the end of communism, came to power, these plans were quickly implemented.

The Soviet Union relied on oil to support their economy, so the United States incited Saudi Arabia to launch OPEC to increase oil production on a large scale, so that the price of these black gold was drastically reduced, causing the Soviet Union's economy to face collapse.

At the same time, the Vantaa project, which comprehensively defeated the Soviet Union economically, has begun to operate, and the Star Wars project has begun. The Soviet economy is under multiple blows. If it wants to compete with the United States, whose economic strength is far greater than theirs, it is definitely not the same. An easy thing.

If there are no problems and no accidents, the Soviet Union will be able to be overthrown in a very short time!

At that time, the largest red regime in the entire world will be China, an ancient empire that has been bullied by world powers for hundreds of years.

Any strong fortress is the easiest to break from the inside.

Now Liu Yijiu ambitiously wants to build his own fleet, coupled with his special status in China, in the future, his ambitions will continue to expand, at that time, only NATO countries provide logistical support...

Even if they give some nominal verbal support, this young man will help them complete the plan and make Red China collapse.

At the beginning, Liu Yijiu just wanted an Iowa-class battleship, but now he wants two more...

This is definitely a good thing for Mist.

"Director Liu, will your government agree to such a thing? Will they approve it?" Mist was happy in his heart, but asked Liu Yijiu calmly on his face.I am not optimistic about this transaction.

Liu Yijiu curled his lips. "You don’t know what is the situation in China. The old destroyers of the 1950s and 1960s were also the main battleships of our navy. Cam Ranh Bay is stationed with an increasing number of fleets. Because of their support, the Vietnamese are constantly invading our territorial waters. Up to now, our islands in the South China Sea have been occupied by him..."

Regarding the situation in the South China Sea, especially the expanding strength of the Soviet navy, the Americans are most worried about.

In the Asia-Pacific region, the Americans do not have an advantage over the Soviets. If they have to, the Americans can quickly send more fleets to the western Pacific.The Soviet Union has always been thinking of the Continental Army. When developing naval equipment, the priority is to develop survivable underwater nuclear submarines rather than large surface ships.

Hundreds of evil Soviet nuclear submarines are all over the world's oceans.

When it comes to the Soviet Union, the Americans become nervous. "If the Soviets don’t develop large warships, it’s not a problem. Because our high-level officials don’t pay too much attention to maritime rights, but the Soviets have now started a large warship construction plan. Even their aircraft carrier construction plan has already begun..."

The Soviets are building aircraft carriers, and it is impossible for the Americans to not know.

Liu Yijiu threw this out, which shocked Mist and the others.

They are thinking in their hearts, if this young man's ideas can convince the Chinese senior management, what a terrible thing this is.

The Soviet naval strategy is clearly wrong.

China’s national defense and military have been inherited from the Soviet Union, and have always focused on the development of the army and air force, as well as the Continental Army.

However, Liu Yijiu is different. This young man is very sensitive to intelligence and even has a very accurate grasp of future development.

Among other things, it is very unacceptable that China now has the c801 missile that shocks the whole world. Once China has a longer range and more powerful mid- and long-range anti-ship missile, and Form mass production, the weakness of the Chinese Navy will be strengthened to a large extent.

The interests and strategy of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region will be seriously challenged.

Fortunately, the economic development of the Chinese is very poor, and there is not enough capital to invest in these high-cost, high-cost medium and long-range missiles.

"What do you mean?" After some contact, Mist and his party did not have an in-depth discussion with Liu Yijiu about cooperation negotiations, but went directly to the White House.

There are special planes on standby. For them, it takes only a few hours to travel from New York to Washington.

After hearing the report, Reagan summoned his staff and asked everyone their opinions.

Although the Iowa-class battleship has very strong firepower and its main gun has a caliber of 406 mm, in modern warfare, it does not have much potential in the face of missile attacks.Especially the Soviet Union’s first Kirov-class guided-missile cruiser "Admiral Ushakov" has been in service in the 1980s. Although there is no detailed information, this ship is still secret during this large-scale Soviet military exercise. Hundreds of missiles flew out of the warship, which is enough to shock people.

According to the analysis of incomplete intelligence information, this level of guided missile cruisers are equipped with various types of anti-ship, anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and ground-attack missiles of different ranges!

This is exactly a maritime mobile arsenal.

Under the threat of such warships, the entire aircraft carrier formation still barely has the ability to survive.

The battleship is of no use at all.

"I think we can sell the remaining two Iowa-class battleships that have not yet returned to service to the Chinese. This will prevent them from developing rapidly in anti-ship missile research. At the same time, even if the Chinese side gets the battleship It’s not very useful to fully analyze the technology. Battleships are different from aircraft carriers..." Connor Donald has always advocated selling outdated weapons and equipment to China. On the surface, it seems that China’s military strength has been greatly improved. However, this is not the case, their own research and development will be severely hindered.

Although Mist was also very in favor of this cooperation, he had dealt with Liu Yijiu for too long, and he knew that Liu Yijiu, this kid, would not only propose things like battleships.The greatest possibility is the manufacturing technology of large warships.

The Chinese can't even manufacture a 5,000-ton warship.

It is better not to sell to them.

"Although selling to them can add hundreds of millions of dollars to our navy, I think it is suspicious that the Chinese military buys our sealed Iowa-class battleship. If they are to transform into Soviet Kirov-class missiles What about battleships?" This was brought up immediately.

Two for sale!

If China had two ships, and it had been transformed into a guided missile battleship like the Soviet Union, after the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States would have to send at least three aircraft carrier fleets to completely suppress China.And with an Iowa-class displacement, how many missiles can be mounted on this?

Not to mention a thousand, at least 700 or even 800 can be installed!

"Does China have so many missiles installed on it? Not to mention, it is only air defense missiles. Apart from the individual air defense missile Houyi that has just appeared in the past few years, what else is there? At sea, this air defense missile is not so good at all. That kind." Connor Donald said with a look of contempt, "Can the Chinese put their Dongfeng-5 in it? How many?"

If this matter is replaced by the Soviet Union or other NATO allies, the United States really needs to consider it carefully.

However, in China, solid-fuel missile technology is simply not acceptable. The 202 domestic project in China still uses liquid fuel technology...

The Americans are very aware of this.

"In addition, the Chinese want to change such battleships into guided missile battleships. The whole project is not tens of billions, and it is impossible to succeed! Air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship, and ground-attack missiles... all of this depends on the Chinese. How about the strength of China? Can they succeed in 50 years?" It is not Connor Donald who looks down on China.

But China's domestic foundation is really bad.

Since the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979, the United States and the NATO alliance have continuously contacted China under the pretext of military cooperation, inquired about intelligence, and assessed China's military strength.

After in-depth contact, I discovered that although China's military technology has made great progress, it is not as good as the outside world thought.

The results of the work of the Paris Coordinating Embargo Committee are very remarkable.

If the Chinese really took 50 years to make these things, or only 20 years, then these battleships have been built for 60 or 70 years, how many years can they still serve?

It's also very good to pit China.

"Mist, do you have any comments?" Reagan saw his military adviser Mist still frowning, and asked relaxedly, "You are worried that the Red China will really use these two warships to transform into guided missile battleships. Will threaten us afterwards?"

The launch of liquid missiles is very complicated, and there is basically no possibility of it on a warship.
