Super military empire

"Master, do you really want the shell of this aircraft carrier? We simply don't have the ability to continue building this aircraft carrier in a short time..." After Liu Suxue and Liu Yijiu came down, Liu Suxue asked Liu Yi again. nine."There are too many things needed. Our entire domestic system has to be invested in, and the funds needed are not a little bit..."

"Yes, why not? Without this, can we start from the very beginning? Who said we have no experience? Even the Iowa-class battleships have been remodeled. This thing has allowed our technical team to accumulate a lot of experience. !" Liu Yijiu said firmly."When the original plan was made, I was staring at this aircraft carrier. A runway for skid-off takeoff and two steam catapults. This is the most suitable for us."

This aircraft carrier is a development path summed up by the Soviet Union based on its actual conditions without any Western technical support and without any experience to follow.

They are the country's basic industrial technology developed to a certain degree, and then condensed this aircraft carrier.

And China needs the technology on this aircraft carrier to reversely promote the development of the domestic technological system.

Therefore, Liu Yijiu could not give up such an opportunity. Once he missed it, there would be no chance again.

"They are asking for prices. They are asking us to pay the full price for such an empty shell with nothing on it! Moreover, it is impossible for them to get all kinds of missiles in it, and there is no carrier aircraft. Yes. It is not cost-effective to spend more than one billion U.S. dollars or even more for the purchase. There is no other thing, and the effect on our domestic technology promotion will not be as big as imagined..." Liu Suxue shook his head.

It is not that he opposes, but that the asking price in Ukraine is too high.

This is not the smuggling of other weapons, but a direct deal with the Ukrainian government.

"What if we can get all the design drawings? After returning, combine some of our design techniques from American battleships and integrate the characteristics of our guided missile battleships..." Liu Yijiu asked Liu Suxue calmly.

This immediately made him startled.

"This will cost us more! Moreover, it is impossible for our country to obtain technical data and the entire aircraft carrier shell internationally!"

After Liu Suxue thought for a while, he quickly shook his head.

Liu Yijiu thought these things too simplistically.

How did he know Liu Yijiu's idea, and this idea is very easy to realize.

"If we find a company to place a very large order for the construction of a very large merchant ship to the Black Sea Shipyard, especially a merchant ship that can only be built by their No. 0 Dock... Then, we will get another steel company. Don't tell me that you don't have...they The domestic decision to dispose of this shell has already been made? Without the Soviet Union and without funding, the workers of the Black Sea Shipyard cannot even afford to pay their wages. You should know better than going there. The living conditions of the workers inside... the entire shipyard In order to survive, in the highly competitive international world, without orders, they can only go bankrupt. Will the Ukrainian government let this happen?"

Liu Yijiu put all his plans out.

In fact, the plan is very simple. It was the method used by the Americans in partnership with Europe to demolish this less built aircraft carrier.

It was Makarov who personally led people to take it down.

The aircraft carrier is their dream, but the survival of the entire factory is more urgent.

Historically, by November of 1991, the construction of the main body of the Ulyanovsk nuclear-powered aircraft carrier had come to an end on the berth. The total weight of the hull parts processed by the entire factory reached 29,000 tons, including the nuclear reactor. Assembling began in the workshop.

It is a pity that the disintegration of the Soviet Union made this ship finally stopped due to financial allocations. Only a little more than 30% was built, and all production tasks were forced to stop.

At this time, more than 20,000 people in the Black Sea Shipyard could not even afford to eat. A Norwegian company proposed to build 6 ships in Ukraine, but proposed to build on Shipyard 0 where Ulyanovsk is located. U.S. Steel took the opportunity to offer to buy the steel used for the aircraft carrier's construction at a high price of $450 a ton.In order to earn foreign exchange and free up No. 0 dock, the Ukrainian government and the Russian government, which need to repay the Russian government's oil and gas usage fees, make a joint decision to dismantle the aircraft carrier and sell scrap iron.

From that moment on, the Soviet Union developed the aircraft carrier manufacturing industry for 30 years, and it came to an end.

Once the first shipyard with the most advanced technology in the Soviet Union and the most powerful surface ship building capability, after the Ulyanovsk was finally demolished, the world’s top shipyard with a 10,000-ton Glorious-class cruiser arrived. The construction was not completed in 2012 either...

Because Liu Yijiu prevented the United States and Western countries from launching the Vantaa plan to understand the Soviet Union, it caused a fundamental change in the situation of the Gulf War, which allowed the Soviet Union to have more funds to support their aircraft carriers. plan.

The fact is also true. The Varyag was completely constructed and eventually dragged away by Da Mao.

And Ulyanovsk, the construction level is also more than 50%, which gives China a chance.

Although the level of construction is much higher, the final fate should be the same.

Therefore, Liu Yijiu prepared to use the American plan.

Moreover, he will not cheat Ukraine.

Buying this hull at the price of scrap steel doesn’t even need the Ukrainian shipyard to spend millions of dollars on disassembly.

"Can such a plan work?" Liu Suxue couldn't help but admire Liu Yijiu's ideas. "Moreover, in terms of technology, they shouldn't sell it to us."

"They lack foreign exchange. We give cash ourselves, and we can even give them real orders. Do you think it will work?" Liu Yijiu said triumphantly."As for the aircraft carrier design data, we really have no possibility to obtain it, but what about the Chinese government? If the Chinese government secretly sends a team over to talk to them about the cooperation of aircraft carrier technical data, and the two sides cooperate in economic construction, does Ukraine need light industry? And their heavy industry needs orders..."

This is a win-win decision.

In Liu Yijiu's view, as long as the top Ukrainian government is not a fool, he will never give up such attractive conditions.

China has a huge demand for heavy industrial equipment, and Ukraine needs a market.

While Ukraine needs a lot of cheap light industrial products, China happens to be a market that needs light industrial products and daily necessities...

"This is very feasible." Liu Suxue kept using his pen to write and draw in the notebook, listing all the key points, and finally nodded his approval to the plan.

"Since you think it's feasible, let's do it like this." Liu Yijiu breathed a sigh of relief."We won't contact them tomorrow, let's go to see their military factory elsewhere..."

"Where are the technicians at the Black Sea Shipyard?" Liu Suxue was a little worried about digging people.

"Don't worry, the old man will come to me. He knows where we live." Liu Yijiu just finished speaking, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Master, there is an old man outside who claims to be the director of the Black Sea Shipyard who wants to see you..." A security guard opened the door and said to Liu Yijiu.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yijiu and Liu Suxue looked at each other and laughed.

Even Liu Suxue gave Liu Yijiu a thumb.

Makarov took the initiative to find Liu Yijiu, which showed that he was tempted by Liu Yijiu's proposal.

"Yang, what you said is true? Regarding your transformation of the Iowa-class battleship." Makarov didn't make a roundabout, but directly asked Liu Yijiu about the truth of what he said.

As long as China has the ability to transform the Iowa-class battleship and become a more powerful guided-missile battleship than Kirov, this shows that China is capable of continuing to complete the construction of the Ulyanovsk.

"It's truer than real. And the transformation of the first ship is about to be completed. It can serve as soon as it is listed, and it has far stronger firepower than the Kirov class. Whether it is defense or offensive capabilities." No details about the performance of their guided missile battleships were disclosed.

For him, this kind of thing is absolutely confidential.

In the naval factory on the Bohai Bay side, the renovated dock is closed. Although there is no way to close it all, at least, the US and Soviet satellites cannot figure out the specific internal structure.

"Ulyanovsk uses nuclear power for propulsion. American battleships are conventional power..." The old factory director said in disbelief, or he didn't believe it, but he felt that China did not. Nuclear power manufacturing capacity.

"When the Americans sold it to us, they demolished the power plant, leaving behind four steam boilers. After the warship arrived in China, they also dismantled and transported these four steam boilers...so huge. Only nuclear-powered warships can run faster!” Liu Yijiu licked his lips and said, “Comrade Makarov, I can’t explain these things in detail, but you can go and see. Of course, look. After that, if you want to come back, it may not be easy..."

Liu Yijiu's meaning is obvious, but he can't explain it in detail.

Makarov can only gamble.

Either go to China or stay in Ukraine.

"I need more details to help me make a decision. You have to know that even if construction continues, it will be difficult to proceed without skilled workers. We have many skilled workers and technicians who want to see Our Ulyanovsk is galloping over the ocean..." The old man's breathing was a little quick.

As long as they can continue to realize their dreams, whether they are built for the Soviet Union is not that important.

Moreover, China has the same system as the Soviet Union, and emotionally, it is easier for people to accept China.
