Chapter 1559: A maritime firepower platform integrating aircraft carrier fleet and missile battleship

(Let’s talk about the new year's new year plan. The original plan was to directly explode the new year's 30th update. Hulu hopes that the 30th update will make everyone happy and let everyone give more rewards and red envelopes. After all, everyone is the boss of Gourd, and they are expecting everyone to send out the New Year's money. Suddenly thought, this seems to be not sincere enough, so Gourd decided that on the basis of thirty shifts, according to the number of rewards and the number of red envelopes received Continue to add more changes. Forty is not a dream, and fifty is not a dream. Of course, sixty is more. It is estimated that the gourd will be very painful. Therefore, everyone can actively suggest that how many rewards are accumulated and how many red packets are accumulated. , At least, Hulu will prepare fifty chapters for deposit. If there is no reward, no red envelopes, there will be thirty updates that day, not much...v group 494550065, ordinary group 9512455)

The old man paused, and then said seriously, "As the helm of the entire Ninth Academy, you must know that your decision not only determines the future of the Ninth Academy, but also affects the national defense construction of the entire country. Have a very serious impact."

For Liu Yijiu, the old man can be said to have selectively supported Liu Yijiu from the beginning to his unconditional and complete support.

At this time, if something goes wrong with the Ninth Court, it will have a huge impact on the entire country.

The old man sees it more thoroughly than anyone else. In many cases, he has too much worry, but the influence of the Ninth Institute on the country is all positive.Everyone knows how much the development of the Ninth Academy has contributed to the economic and technological promotion of the entire country over the years.

Originally, when the civil industry of the Ninth Academy did not expand, the economic impact on the country was not too great. However, in the past few years, it has become more and more obvious. Even the output value of this unit accounts for a very large amount of GDP in the country. A large proportion.

The existence of the Ninth Institute has allowed China's economy to grow at a rate of more than 25% every year.

This kind of growth rate is unique in the history of the world, and as the automobile industry, chip industry, and computer industry of the Ninth Academy gradually enter the market, its role will be more prominent.

These are several industries, several high-tech industries that can support the country’s rapid economic growth.

Therefore, the Ninth Court must not cause any problems.

Liu Yijiu looked at the old man, understood what he meant, and explained to him, "Chief, in fact, the aircraft carrier is not as powerful as we thought. Although the development of aircraft carriers in the current naval equipment is mainstream, but, In future wars, especially with the development of science and technology and the development of high-power long-range missile precision strike technology, advantages will completely turn into disadvantages..."

"What do you say?" The old man became interested immediately.

For a long time, no one has said that aircraft carriers are not very suitable for future wars.

Liu Yijiu's proposal of this point at this time made him shine.

Before the country had an aircraft carrier construction plan, in order for the country to develop rapidly and change the face of poverty and backwardness, the aircraft carrier’s design and construction project plans had to be cut off at the beginning of reform and opening up, saving all funds to speed up the country’s economic construction and complete the infrastructure. Investment promotes the rapid growth of the national economy.

Only with money can we invest more in the military.

"The aircraft carrier battle group, especially the current aircraft carrier battle group, actually emerged under the ideology of the Cold War. The Soviets felt that the survivability of surface ships was far inferior to that of underwater nuclear submarines, so their nuclear submarine technology far exceeded that of the United States. The Americans believe that the aircraft carrier battle group is more effective and can provide unparalleled firepower and military projection capabilities, so in the entire world, they have the most aircraft carrier fleet... Over time, the economies of the two camps are both It is an unsustainable situation, the winners and losers are gradually separated, but the Americans do not have too many advantages... But the Soviet Union, the domestic strategic thinking is gradually shifting, they are not only developing underwater nuclear submarines, but also for stronger firepower. As well as a long-range projecting capability, even attacking the United States, they also started their aircraft carrier construction plan. The first Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier has gradually formed combat effectiveness, and the second Varyag is about to complete its instruments. The third and fourth ships have been built to different levels... and even Ulyanovsk, the fourth-generation large-scale nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Soviet Union, has completed more than 40% of the construction..."

Liu Yijiu introduced the Soviet aircraft carrier construction plan.

The old man's originally interested expression was gradually replaced by heaviness.

The Soviet Union has started such a huge aircraft carrier construction plan. When will China catch up?

Liu Yijiu said that aircraft carriers are not the mainstream of future development, but listening to what he said, it seems that there is no such reason.

As the top leader of China, the man who put this country on the road to prosperity, naturally is waiting patiently for Liu Yijiu to continue.

"The Soviets have always been more pragmatic when designing and building weapons. On this, they knew that their escort fleet could not be as strong as the United States. After all, it could not be economically supported. The annual maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier fleet is sufficient. Let some countries with poor economies go bankrupt. Therefore, on their Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers, they have lost the number of carrier-based aircraft and increased the carrier’s own attack and defense capabilities..."

This is exactly where the Soviet Union was mocked by the world.

The mainstream development thinking of aircraft carriers is to rely on powerful formations to improve defense capabilities and combat capabilities.

The Soviet aircraft carrier itself has strong defensive capabilities and offensive capabilities. They integrate the functions of guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers, which can reduce the configuration of escort formations and reduce economic pressure.

Therefore, even if these aircraft carriers have large tonnage, after carrying a large number of missiles, the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be carried has also been reduced a lot.

This is because of the weird design ideas caused by the Soviet economy.

However, only Liu Yijiu knew that the Soviet Union’s path was correct.

After entering the 1950s, the aircraft carrier fleet gradually withdrew from the stage of history, replaced by a sea firepower platform that integrated guided missile cruisers and aircraft carriers with many functions!

Everything is due to the development of technology.

The development of human science and technology has allowed warships to exceed 200,000 tons. Such a huge warship has more carrier-based aircraft and more missiles, bringing together the functions and even the supply functions of the entire escort fleet.

What does Liu Yijiu say?

Although that kind of development is not necessarily correct, he understands the future development trend.

The acquisition of the Iowa-class battleship from the United States and transforming it into a guided missile ship seems to have no alternative, but in fact, like the aircraft carrier construction plan, it is all for technology!

"We are not to equip the Navy with an aircraft carrier fleet, but to build the technology of the aircraft carrier itself! Chief, if in the future, our aircraft carrier merges with the guided missile battleship we are currently transforming, does our aircraft carrier still need an escort fleet?" Liu Yijiu asked the old man this question.

The old man was taken aback, and immediately stood up.

"What do you mean is that in the future, our navy will no longer develop separate large guided missile ships and aircraft carrier fleets, but will integrate the entire aircraft carrier fleet to build large warships that integrate offense and defense?" The old man is a sensible person, and he understands Liu in an instant One nine means.

Liu Yijiu nodded.

However, the old man sighed.

"This will take a long time, and it will require huge funds!"

"Chief, even if we can't complete it, as long as we lay the foundation, our descendants will develop along our path." Liu Yijiu also knows that the capital needed here is definitely not tens of billions of dollars or even hundreds of billions. The U.S. dollar can handle it, "We are in that direction. If we want to surpass the United States, at least we will not win or lose with the United States. If we chase them within the framework drawn by them, we will always be catching up..."

This view, the old man agrees.

The problem is, how difficult it is to get out of this framework!

The Soviet Union originally took a different path from the Americans. In the end, didn't they also begin to develop large aircraft carriers.

"This is the future direction of development. Moreover, in the development process, we only need to build two aircraft carrier fleets, with two transformed Iowa-class guided missile battleships, which is enough to cope with what our Navy will face in the next 30 years. After all, our national defense strategy is not the same as that of the United States. We are a strategic defense. Two aircraft carriers are built and our technology is beginning to mature. At that time, let the Americans chase us!"

Liu Yijiu licked his lips.

"At that time, if our plan is successful, we will have 30 years longer than the United States. Although their technology is advanced and the overall national strength is stronger, they are completely blank in this area, and all funds are invested in the aircraft carrier fleet. Above, even if they adjust quickly, they will be at most equal to us..."

This is an opportunity for China to catch up with and even surpass the United States.

The old man yearned for such a result, but he was still very cautious.

"How much is this investment?"

"The specifics are not counted, but our two aircraft carrier fleets should cost about 100 billion U.S. dollars. We have enough funds, otherwise we will not start. Even if we complete the plan in ten years, we will not invest every year. With 10 billion U.S. dollars, there will be no problem of rupture of the capital chain. At the same time, we will not affect the development of the navy. Although we transfer people from them, many technologies are common to this."

What Liu Yijiu explained to the old man did not even explain to Li Xiangyang.

"We have too many technological breakthroughs. According to your plan, it should be difficult to complete." The old man sighed again.

No one knows the country's industrial foundation and technological strength better than him.

No, the boy in front of him even knows better than him. Many things in the Ninth Academy are hidden by this boy.

For Liu Yijiu's Tibetan technique, the old man didn't care too much.

"Chief, have you forgotten our Ukrainian plan?" Liu Yijiu grinned.

Perhaps the old man and others thought this was a joke.

"You mean to get technology from the Soviet Union? This is not an easy task." The old man said in shock. "All the technical data of an aircraft carrier may be about the same size as an aircraft carrier, right?"
