From arms dealer to king of war

Chapter 717 Planning for Sea Power

The small tonnage of 056 determines that its importance is not high, and it can be traded as long as it can circumvent restrictions.

If Boss Joe's own Hamilton class is determined to transform, the 3,250-ton displacement ship will be more intimidating than the 056, which only has a 1,300-ton capacity.

But no one in the Mediterranean thinks it’s wrong!

The Hamilton-class Princess can do it, why can’t the 056?

As long as that thing is not equipped with a missile system, that is, a coast guard ship, one or two ships can only scare pirates. It is even difficult to scare the little brothers in Southeast Asia, and it cannot scare the navy of a regular big country at all.

In this place in the Mediterranean, if you take any one of them, for example, the Italian Navy has warships that are stronger than the 056.

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation is still trying in many ways. The 056 is not even the main foreign trade model they envisioned, but the 052D destroyer is.

With the completion of 055, 052D, which is one generation behind, can be sold for money.

But currently they don't have many options.

At present, there are only a few die-hard brothers who buy it, but in the end because the price is too outrageous, only old-fashioned ships like 054 are exported.

Boss Qiao's practice of bringing his own clients to seek agents is a good thing that CSSC can only dream of.

Logically speaking, CSSC should ignore everything and fully cooperate with Boss Qiao's sales plan.

It's a pity that Boss Qiao is too important now. The boss of CSSC just reported to the superiors, and then a group of colleagues pushed his fevered brain into the water to wake up.

Boss Qiao must not have any problems. Once he has a problem, the export orders worth tens of billions will disappear, and the people in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade will hang themselves.

People in the energy group couldn't agree even more. As soon as something went wrong with Boss Qiao, their lives in Iraq and Tobruk would immediately be in dire straits.

At that time, it will take a huge amount of energy and time to adjust. How can CSSC earn back those losses by selling a few "small boats"?

The so-called CSSC President Zhang didn't come, but was stopped by Norinco CEO Jin who also disagreed. They collectively met with senior leaders to talk to the CSSC people, and they all agreed that selling the ship was not necessary.

It wasn't until Chen Xiaodong came up with two plans that the interest group headed by Mr. Jin gave in and took him to find Qiao Liang.

But what Mr. Jin was mainly talking about was business in the Congo. He just wanted to divert Boss Qiao’s attention with the development of the Congo, so he just told him directly that there was really no need to bother with a few small boats...

Can't make much money...

The game here is actually very interesting. Boss Qiao's position determines his importance and degree of protection.

Brother Qiao Liang knows that his brother is very powerful, but he has not yet realized how many interest groups his brother has leveraged, and how much protection he has received.

Those Russian bodyguards can all hold guns...

A new security point was set up around the community and school where they lived, and several capable police officers were stationed for a long time, all to ensure his safety.

It's also business, and many so-called awesome second-generation people don't receive the same treatment as Qiao Liang.

The current status of the Qiao brothers determines that others care more about their safety than themselves.

Qiao Liang didn't feel it, but Qiao Jia felt great care from the "method" of "China Shipbuilding Defense".

How much profit can you make from building a shell?

Giving up the bulk of the profits of 'electronic systems' and 'weapon systems' to French companies just to reduce Boss Qiao's political risks is to support Boss Qiao.

If you want to sell the boat, it doesn't matter. We will find a way for you to resell it reasonably and legally.

It doesn’t matter if I earn less, nothing will happen to you!

This is nanny-level care!

Boss Qiao had to accept this favor because it was CSSC who helped him bypass restrictions and lowered his status to cooperate with the French. As long as the UAE is willing to nod, Boss Qiao can make a lot of money.

Qiao Jia really didn't expect this method at first, but it is a good thing and can make the business of selling boats many times easier.

But the sudden lack of challenge made Boss Qiao less passionate, so he was very interested in the second option.

055 Daqi, although it is not really for sale, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation’s plans are all centered around it...

There are only 4 ships of this thing currently in service in the country!

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole world is paying attention to this 10,000-ton ship named "Blade Sea Class" by NATO, and even the United States is no exception.

The old and American spies have been operating around the large ship for several years.

Don't think that the Americans are really invincible. They also want and are afraid of such a big ship!

They are not even afraid of China's aircraft carriers, because they have redefined the naval battle model with aircraft carriers as the main body since World War II, sweeping traditional giant-gun battleships into the garbage heap of history.

If you step in someone else's footsteps, it will be extremely difficult to surpass him.

The reason why the 055 Dachu has attracted so much attention is that it has the potential to break the naval blockade of the United States and redefine the naval battle model.

The 10,000-ton-class ship, coupled with the Eagle Strike hypersonic anti-ship missile that cannot be intercepted at all, can bypass the air defense system of the aircraft carrier battle group from a long distance and directly hit the life gate of the aircraft carrier as long as the shortcomings of high-sea reconnaissance are solved.

The deterrent effect of this thing on the aircraft carrier battle group is much greater than a simple aircraft carrier confrontation.

The birth of 055 means that the deterrent effect of the old US aircraft carrier battle group has declined.

In the past, the United States and the United States established a series of naval warfare standards around aircraft carriers. Once they were shaken, it would take them a lot of effort and a huge amount of money to come up with a response plan.

However, human technology is currently unable to intercept hypersonic missiles, so in order to cope with possible impacts, the United States began to develop its own new destroyers.

The aging Arleigh Burke class can no longer withstand new modifications. The endless problems of the Zumwalt class have annoyed the Navy. Now they need a mature new ship...

Who would have thought that Lao America would actually come up with the idea of ​​​​055?

Their latest model is tentatively named DDG (X). Judging from the leaked renderings, it is a copycat version of 055.

Many spies who betrayed 055 secrets were caught in China. After learning about Lao America's plan, they were not angry, but a little happy.

The fact that the United States is nervous shows that the decades of efforts of domestic shipbuilders have not been in vain.

Once the combat effectiveness of the 055 is completely formed, exporting the 055 to the outside world will be exporting a brand new standard of naval warfare, bringing maritime competition into its own familiar track, rather than following the pace of the United States.

After all, in terms of aircraft carriers, it is really difficult to surpass the United States!

Now they have the opportunity to drag the United States into the quagmire of naval transformation...

The plan provided by Chen Xiaodong was a bit complicated. They used the confessions obtained from the spies to learn about the movements of the United States. They knew that they wanted to avoid detours and at the same time looked for opportunities to fully understand and analyze this large ship...

So the best way is to find a 'middleman' to buy a 055 and show it to them.

This 'middleman' must not be an individual, but must be a tycoon in the Middle East who is closer to China. Only in this way can it be possible to convince China to reserve the 055 for export when its own navy is not fully equipped.

Of course, it can only be made by appointment. Until Huaguo completes the equipment, 055 will not be available for sale.

This reservation may be ten years or twenty years, or it may always be a reservation. The real export model will be the 052D destroyer with more than 6,000 tons but the same pedigree as the 055. After all, the Persian Gulf does not need a 10,000-ton destroyer. 's big ship.

But this is enough. As long as you participate in the entry negotiations, you will naturally get the opportunity to observe and learn on the 055 ship. Then, taking advantage of the training opportunity, the spies arranged by the United States will be mixed with the UAE team, and there will be many opportunities to figure out the structure of the 055.

At the same time, take advantage of the opportunity to analyze the 052D weapon system to deduce as much as possible the combat effectiveness of the 055.

A group of people headed by Chen Xiaodong thought very clearly. They were not afraid of the United States imitating 055, but they wanted them to imitate it.

Because the United States itself has enough ability to develop larger ships with stronger performance. They have the best electronic radar system and power system in the world. The supersonic missiles are inferior, but I will show you that thing. You can see it. What comes out? The foreign trade version of the hypersonic missile is not afraid of people seeing it.

Now that there is an opportunity, why not bring them into a familiar track and engage in an arms race?

To put it bluntly, in terms of the cost of building large ships, China has a cost advantage and room for improvement that the United States cannot match. You can build similar ships to me, and I can even deduce your weaknesses from my own experience.

Before, Chen Xiaodong and the others couldn't make things too obvious. The matter had been under discussion and there was no conclusion at all.

In principle, this kind of important weapon of the country must be purchased sincerely by a friendly country. Then China can take out a reduced version of the 052D from the navy's order to transform it into a foreign trade version out of concern and consideration for its allies. .

The current situation is that the United States wants to study it in depth, but for reasons such as face and politics, it is impossible to end it on its own.

They also need a 'middleman' to buy it, and if possible, create an opportunity for them to go to the 055 ship for an on-site inspection...

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation also wants to sell, but not the 055, but the 052D. As long as this smaller guy is equipped with anti-ship missiles, the core logic of the 055 is the same.

This is not only making money, but also the output of a new marine standard, which is very beneficial to them.

Of course military secrets are important, but can 055 be figured out at a glance?

If I dare to sell you 052D, I won't be afraid of you dismantling it!

I’ve shown you everything, so stop corrupting our core technical staff and go back and build it yourself!

With the beginning of the first 052D, maybe we can break the blockade and let the wealthy people in the Middle East start purchasing the second and third ships. In the future, we do not even rule out direct export of 055...

China and the United States have completely different positions. Laos and the United States need to maintain maritime hegemony. Such large ships that may threaten aircraft carriers will never actively sell them to foreign countries.

The demands of China are completely different, and they cannot bear to let his family fight against the maritime hegemony of Laos and the United States.

In fact, the more countries that own large ships like the 052D equipped with supersonic anti-ship missiles, the greater the impact will be on the influence of the old and American aircraft carrier battle groups.

This is an advanced version of uniting all forces that can be united, and sharing the work of putting pressure on the old U.S. Navy.

The old American has the kind of domineering temperament where I can put a gun to your head, but if you hold a weapon that threatens me, it will be a capital offense.

Whether it is the export of 055 or 052, it is poking their lungs.

It is foreseeable that the more the 052D drive outputs, the more people the United States will offend.

Now both parties have their own secrets, but the man is interested in the concubine, but they can't find a suitable partner to achieve a breakthrough.

Boss Qiao now pulls the rich man from the United Arab Emirates to take the initiative. Isn't it a timely blessing?

How much money can you make with a small boat like the 056? Come on, let’s try the 052D, a reduced version of the 055 big ship!

A large ship of more than 6,000 tons, equipped with various high-end missiles, and people especially want to know that it is appropriate to sell it for 2 billion.

For Qiao Jia and the UAE, this kind of thing really does not offend anyone, and even has many benefits.

From the perspective of the United Arab Emirates, I paid for a big ship to analyze it for you, and even provided you with the opportunity to board 055. This is betraying China's secrets and is very offensive. How can I do this if you don't give me some benefits?

Apart from anything else, it would be good for you to relax the F-35 procurement project, add fewer conditions, and speed up the delivery.

From the perspective of the United States, they need a mature product as a reference to facilitate the rapid advancement of their own projects. On-site inspection of 055 is necessary!

What a perfect candidate Boss Qiao is!

In order to contribute to your cause of dominating the sea, the United States has even betrayed its compatriots. How dare you not give me some benefits?

Boss Qiao is not even a double agent, he is just acting according to the needs of both parties...

Let everyone get what they need!

What is now in front of Qiao Jia is how to convince the UAE, a big guy, to spend two billion dollars to buy 052D, so that he can earn half of it first.

The UAE is rich, but two billion is too exaggerated, and there are many political interests that need to be negotiated and finalized in advance.

This whole process will not be completed in three to five years!

But it doesn’t matter. Let’s sign a contract of intention first. You can pay a 30% deposit in cash and let Boss Qiao earn several hundred million first. It’s also good.
