Rebirth of Military Workers

"This is a serious mistake." Xie Kai sighed. Seeing Wang Hengyuan and others' complexion changed, he quickly explained, "It's not about you, but about me. I didn't think about these specific details at the beginning."

Xie Kai really didn't think about it.

The Soviet Navy’s naval ships have always pursued comprehensive performance, and finally they have produced super arsenal ships such as Kirov-class nuclear-powered cruisers. They have thousands of gadgets, large and small missiles loaded with more than 500 missiles, and have anti-countermeasures. Ships, medium and long-range air defense, ground attack and other capabilities, one ship is enough to challenge one or two US aircraft carrier fleets!

The initial design of others has a clear positioning.

Even the aircraft carriers of the Soviets have powerful firepower systems.

Xie Kai never thought that it would be like this in the end.

He was just selling a few more warships. Originally, he was just selling an attractive gimmick. Not to mention the 2000-ton frigate, even the larger-tonnage destroyer may not have so many comprehensive functions.

It's okay now, this thing came out, and he found that it was too far from what he expected.

"Bahrain’s outfitting according to this design first... As for Saudi Arabia, make an appointment with their military representatives to see how much time can be added. Try to integrate various weapon systems as much as possible. This is for the technology of our naval equipment. Design is also a good thing." Zheng Yucheng saw Xie Kai embarrassed and said.

They hadn't thought about this before.

If the 053H3 configured like this is to be fully utilized, the tonnage must be increased.

How to increase the deck area if the tonnage does not go up?

Without increasing the deck area, how can we increase the space where more detection radars and weapon systems can be installed?

"I really didn't expect the result to be like this before." Xie Kai really didn't think about this problem. I just thought it could be done like this before, and the increase in these weapons is for those who only need to perform tasks in narrow areas like the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea. For the Saudi Navy, combat effectiveness is definitely sufficient.

The Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean, the powerful navies that can only bathe each other, warships like 053H3 go, maybe they drown.

"This is not the problem now. The Hudong plant has two directions, one is to share technology with 701, and the other is to cooperate with the Argentine Navy. The Argentine Navy is very interested in frigates like 053H3, they need technology, but It is proposed to increase the tonnage..."

After leaving the technical room, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng sat together to communicate.

No one has a clear plan on how the Navy will do this.

It is not that the people of Hudong Shipyard are greedy for meritorious work, but that everyone hopes that the national navy can use a larger tonnage warship.

"Uncle Qi, what's going on? You don't know our situation. Now that we have so many large warships, we can't afford it at all." Xie Kai looked at Qi Zhiyuan and asked.

It stands to reason that Qi Zhiyuan is not ignorant of the priorities.

Now that the navy is equipped with this piece, the entire foundation is too weak.

In the 404 development plan, priority was also given to the development of air force equipment that has achieved some basic results.

For the development of the army’s equipment, apart from some of the 404’s strengths, such as digitization, continue to study, the rest will be temporarily stopped and handed over to Mr. Zhu’s 99 tank project. 404 is responsible for how to upgrade the performance of the 359 tank to a higher level. High degree.

All projects are still based on foreign trade.

While taking into account foreign trade, it undertakes some sub-projects of domestic weapons and equipment research and development.

No project can be completely independently developed by any unit.

"I know that we can't blame them for being anxious about this matter. The Navy has made it clear that in the short term, it will not engage in aircraft carriers, but it needs to gradually build and complete aircraft carriers by improving naval equipment, technology and productivity. The pre-research work will continue. Continuing, the training classes for aircraft carrier captains have also started..." Qi Zhiyuan introduced the situation.

The Navy is not engaged in projects?

Xie Kai found it incredible.

The Navy had always wanted aircraft carriers before.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"Let's not talk about the amount of funding and technology accumulation required. Even if the aircraft carrier is built, we don't have enough supporting warships. Didn't you say that before?" Qi Zhiyuan said.

Zheng Yucheng also sighed.

The foundation is too poor and the economy is not so good. No one wants to accept the consequences now, but they have to recognize the facts.

"The frigate on the Hudong Shipyard's side can't provide escort for the aircraft carrier at all. There is no ocean-going capability at all, even if it is accompanied by a supply ship and the draft is not enough. Ways to resist...This is also the reason why the H2 leased to Saudi Arabia has not set sail yet. We don’t have much experience in ocean navigation. Especially when only one supply ship is accompanied..." Qi Zhiyuan said Some reasons that cannot be disclosed to the outside world are introduced.

This time, the Chinese Navy has traveled the farthest route, and it has undertaken various important tasks such as pioneering the path, obtaining hydrological conditions, and accumulating navigation experience in unfamiliar waters. In this way, it must be fully prepared.

Once there is a problem during the voyage of tens of thousands of nautical miles, it can be foreseeable how severe the attack on the entire Chinese navy will be.

"But in any case, we must obtain the hydrological conditions before the warship is completed and delivered to the customer, or otherwise..." Xie Kai's brows were completely twisted together.

"Yeah. So, the H2 leased to Saudi Arabia, every time it sails from here to the South China Sea..." Qi Zhiyuan said helplessly.

Originally, the entire voyage was risky, and it was also burdened with the training of Saudi navy officers and soldiers, and the risk has risen sharply.

Even if a supply ship accompanies the ship every time, various dangerous situations will often occur.

Saudi officers and soldiers do not have the strict discipline of the People's Liberation Army and Navy. They know what they can and cannot do, and they may not strictly abide by it.

Xie Kai now understands thoroughly why the navy has not set off from the country so far, crossed the small pond of the South China Sea, and entered the Indian Ocean at one end.

Did not prepare well.

"The Navy is also very embarrassed." Qi Zhiyuan said, let Xie Kai and the others understand why these things are happening now.

The navy's situation is really difficult.

There is no other reason, just because of the insufficient tonnage of warships, they simply do not have the conditions to perform missions in various unfamiliar waters.

The small pond in the South China Sea is owned by China. Although the tonnage of warships is not large enough and the ability to resist wind and waves is not so strong, the navy is familiar with it.

When and what kind of storm there will be, it can be predicted in advance.

But in unfamiliar seas, it won't work.

"Does it have to be a big warship?" Zheng Yucheng's face was a little serious.

He really doesn't want to invest in another project.

"The Argentine Navy can afford part of the funding, and we can also understand some advanced technologies of Western countries through cooperation with the Argentine Navy..." Qi Zhiyuan said.

Xie Kai didn't believe it at all.

Argentina’s naval technical capabilities are really incomparable with China.

Even Brazil, the most powerful navy in South America, can't compare with China.

It is not that China is unable to design a warship with a larger tonnage, but has failed to keep up with many supporting technical equipment.

Whether it is Brazil or Argentina, their warship design capabilities are only the integration of advanced technology and equipment from Western countries. The raw materials are provided by European and American countries. From power systems to electronic systems, to weapons and equipment, those countries are directly from Europe and America. Buy ready-made ones.

China is obviously unwilling and impossible to take such a technological development path.

"The navy is also very clear. If there is a chance, the 052 project on the 701 side will definitely increase its tonnage. The main destroyer in the future will have a 4,000-ton displacement that is too small for even the South China Sea." Qi Zhiyuan gritted his teeth." The 701 has limited energy, and the navy cannot support it. It is responsible for the destroyer project, and then the frigate project with a larger displacement. This is no longer a problem that can be solved by funds..."

"Can we solve it if we take over?" Xie Kai's face was filled with disbelief.

For the entire field of Chinese naval equipment, the current situation is not only short of money, but also lack of technology and people.

"No. The Navy hopes to have a project to integrate all the domestic design and manufacturing capabilities, and we and the 701 will be responsible for the assembly; even the aircraft carrier project will be carried out across the country at that time!" Qi Zhiyuan told Xie Kai, it is not that he wants Hudong A shipyard came to make such a project.

It is not that the leadership of Hudong Shipyard wants to obtain greater political achievements and credit through such projects.

If the idea is not in line with the management philosophy of 404, then Qi Zhiyuan and the others have long been substituted.

The unit that 404 took over, first of all, is to rectify the management. We must keep everyone's ideas in line. Otherwise, there are voices of opposition inside, and it is not so easy to do all kinds of tasks.

"Uncle Zheng, what do you think about this?" Xie Kai asked Zheng Yucheng.

Zheng Yucheng has been immersed in smoking and thinking, without expressing his own opinions, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

"This matter must be discussed in the management meeting of the entire base. We can't make a decision." Zheng Yucheng extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand. This was the first time Xie Kai saw him that he did not make a decision on a decision.

The investment required for naval equipment is simply too great.

No one can bear this.

"Are you scared by Yun-10?" Xie Kai really couldn't adapt to Zheng Yucheng's change.

Before Zheng Yucheng, there were only two attitudes, either agree or refuse.

But now, it is clear that he is uncertain.

"Did the navy say who is responsible for the 10,000-ton drive?" Xie Kai asked Qi Zhiyuan.

The business of naval equipment is in charge of Qi Zhiyuan.

Only Qi Zhiyuan knew the situation best.

"I didn't say that they also hope to integrate all the technical forces in the country. It is easier for us to come forward on this matter."

"Aren't they for our money?" Zheng Yucheng didn't believe in the navy.
