Super military empire

"Director Liu, don't we really engage in aircraft carriers next time?" Wu Donghao seems to be more interested in aircraft carriers.

When the people around heard this, they all pricked their ears.

Liu Yijiu brought back a large number of technicians from the Soviet Black Sea Shipyard before, and these personnel were enriched in the Northern Shipyard. Everyone believed that they would build an aircraft carrier next.

The design of the aircraft carrier began a few years ago. The 100,000-ton-class dock of the Northern Shipyard has been built. According to the requirements, the roof is also built on it. This is the case for shipyards all over the world. An incredible thing is a waste of money.

However, the construction of the dock is completed, and the second Iowa-class battleship is about to be launched. When the first one conducts sea trials, the dock will be vacated. There is no follow-up construction plan.

There is no news about whether to continue building guided missile battleships or start building China's first independently designed and built aircraft carrier.

The design drawings have been completed, and some equipment has even begun production demonstration. So far, no construction plan has been issued.Both of these large docks will be vacant.,

The large shipyards built at such a huge cost will never be left unused or used to build merchant ships!

The Northern Shipyard is a shipyard that specializes in manufacturing warships. It only manufactures warships and nuclear submarines. Merchant ships are not built here.

Now Liu Yijiu is here, and the answer he got from him is even more reliable than the answer from the high-level military. Why does the military want to build an aircraft carrier now, but there is no funding for it?Even if it is built, the military can hardly afford the high maintenance and use costs.

While the country’s economic strength is growing rapidly, the country’s military budget has also begun to grow with economic growth.The problem is that the entire military-industrial system is too large, and all weapons and equipment need to be upgraded. Not to mention catching up with the United States, even reaching the level of the Soviet Union is not easy.

Although the red flag of the Soviet Union has been flying over the Kremlin with its hammer and sickle until now, in the entire Soviet Union, only this place and the surrounding buildings still represent the existence of the Soviet Union.

In fact, the Soviet Union was completely finished in 1992. For some of the rights of the Soviet Union, in order to get back some of the technology or resources that the Soviet Union had deployed in other republics, it retained the continuation of this powerful institution that once made the world tremble. exist.

Of course, the Soviet Union represented by the Gorba woodcutter, their daily thing is to go to the Kremlin to drink tea and chat, recalling the strength of the Red Empire in the past...

Since 1992, Soviet technology has stagnated.

Russia, which has inherited most of the rights and assets of the Soviet Union, has been solving their economic problems in the past few years. Yeltsin has even adopted shock therapy for the entire Russia, making Russia even more chaotic.

Countless Soviet technical personnel have been strayed to various countries around the world. Many of the once powerful Soviet troops became mercenaries and went to Africa to help various warlords at war. This also caused the huge weapons and equipment with the cccp logo to be consumed. Those corners waited silently for rust.

All this has nothing to do with China.

In addition to getting a lot of Soviet technical drawings and some technical personnel, China really did not get much benefit.

It is precisely because of the acquisition of too many technologies and technicians that China’s national defense military science and technology strength has shown a leapfrog development in recent years, which has caused the military to have more and more funds and become less and less expensive. The situation arises.

The military naturally has ideas on aircraft carriers, but they are still very big ideas. There is no way if the funds are not pooled. If they want to let the Ninth Academy continue to pay, the management committee of the Ninth Academy does not say anything, Liu Yijiu No one showed up, as if they had forgotten that the Ninth Institute of Technology was engaged in this project.

"Director Liu, the British Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier is about to be launched, and India is also building its own aircraft carrier. Even a small country like Nipudosan on the South Sea has bought the Ulyanovsk of Ukraine... …Let’s rely on two guided missile battleships, which is not enough…" Wu Donghao said bitterly.

As a naval military technician, who doesn't want to see China have its own aircraft carrier?

In everyone's eyes, China's next step should be to build an aircraft carrier.

In the 1970s, the aircraft carrier plan was inclined to make way for economic construction after the reform and opening up, and a large number of military projects were discontinued. The dream of China's aircraft carrier was cracked off while it was still on paper.Since the Republic of China, General Chen Shaokuan proposed to build 20 aircraft carriers, the dream of building 20 aircraft carriers was cut in half because of the civil war, and the Chinese's second aircraft carrier dream was shattered.

Of the five permanent members, China alone does not have an aircraft carrier.

Even India has been planning to maintain a plan to maintain three aircraft carriers. Now the Indian Navy has two aircraft carriers and one aircraft carrier that does not know when construction will begin.Nipudosang, a warlord force with only one province in China and even smaller than a province in China, also proposed an aircraft carrier plan and has already begun to implement it. Although their shipyard construction has not yet been completed, they have The Ukrainian Ulyanovsk was bought, it was nuclear power!

China still does not have an aircraft carrier, which is a bit disturbing.

The military has no money, but they can’t do it.

The Ninth Academy had been ambitiously recruited from the Soviet Union before, and the design was almost the same, but there was no construction plan. How could this keep Wu Donghao from worrying?

Previously, after the missile battleship was finished, the domestic aircraft carrier being designed will definitely be built in the northern shipyard. The technicians of the Black Sea shipyard brought back by the Soviet Union are also arranged in the northern shipyard, no matter what. Look, this is all about the rhythm of an aircraft carrier.

However, the 100,000-ton shipyard has been built, and no plans for building an aircraft carrier have been issued.

Now, the first modified guided missile battleship is about to be tested at sea, and the second one has been modified. Waiting for the first ship to leave the sea, it will launch into the outfitting dock for mooring, and then start outfitting, two Large docks have been vacated, and there is still no plan to build an aircraft carrier.

Even the news is gone.

How can Wu Donghao not be in a hurry?

In order to build China's first aircraft carrier under his own hands, he even refused to be promoted to the Ministry of Admiralty and Ministry of Industry in the capital.

How can he be willing if he doesn't engage in an aircraft carrier?

If they can do it out, or have the huge funds in the hands of the Ninth Academy and the right to independently establish projects, Wu Donghao will definitely not hesitate to build an aircraft carrier by himself.

How strong is the navy without an aircraft carrier?How can millions of square kilometers in the Republic be protected?Especially the small pond in the South China Sea.

"Aircraft carrier? Let's do our work well before we talk about it. Besides, building an aircraft carrier is a systematic and complicated thing. Unlike the battleship in front of us, an aircraft carrier can carry out ocean navigation missions. Even if it is built, what about the carrier’s supporting system? What about the carrier’s escort fleet? We can’t let our aircraft carrier rely on the old ship like 051 and the 052, which the military has no plans to build, right? What about the supply ship? How far can our aircraft carrier go without the carrier nurse?" Liu Yijiu said, shaking his head.

Wu Donghao wanted to refute Liu Yijiu, but Liu Yijiu did not give him a chance at all, "Even if these are all right, do we have experience in building tens of thousands of tons of large warships? Aircraft carriers are not comparable to battleships. That stuff is needed. The technology is more complicated. It is only the special steel for the aircraft carrier deck. Do we have it?"

The construction of an aircraft carrier requires huge amounts of money.

"Dr. Liu, you didn’t say that before. Didn’t you say that after we made the transformation of guided missile battleships, do we have experience in building large ships? Besides, we can simulate through supercomputers. Our technicians follow Hasn't the aircraft carrier jointly designed by Soviet technicians been completed? We can't let our design drawings be thrown into the archives to be moldy, right?" Wu Donghao didn't give up.

Liu Yijiu said before that the transformation of guided missile battleships is to prepare for the construction of aircraft carriers.

And also said, the first aircraft carrier will be formulated according to the situation, maybe 50,000 tons of hand training, and then gradually increase the tonnage.

Now he actually said that he had no experience, and actually said that the conditions were not met.

"Director Liu, our Ninth Academy really doesn't engage in aircraft carriers?" Not only Wu Donghao was unhappy, but even Ai Guoxiu was unhappy.

If they don’t engage in aircraft carriers, their efforts for so many years have been wasted?

"Yeah, let's not engage in aircraft carriers? If we don't engage in aircraft carriers, don't our 09 offices have to be dissolved?" He Chengming asked in surprise."Isn’t it said that we have been serving your shipbuilding plan? If we don’t engage in aircraft carriers, we won’t be a white-backed culprit over the years? Director Liu, you can’t be so kind..."

"Well, Director Liu, in recent years, for the projects of the Ninth Academy, we have not offended people. Many times we have shot the table with the leaders of major military factories. Many people have now risen up. If..." Wang Weijian It is completely shameless now.

All this is for the aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers, they want aircraft carriers.

The Chinese Navy needs an aircraft carrier!

The Chinese people need an aircraft carrier!

China's national defense needs an aircraft carrier!

Anyway, there should be an aircraft carrier. As a naval power, without an aircraft carrier, there is no basis for becoming a naval power.

So, in any case, China must have an aircraft carrier.
