Rebirth of Military Workers

Because of the appearance of suspected F-14 fighters in China, and the fact that China rejected the F-1679 sold by the United States before, and saw the dual-engine version of the Super-7B project displayed by China, the domestic executives are now shaking, and they need to discuss restrictions on China. Technology export.

These matters have not yet come up with a resolution.

Back from Nanhai, Xie Kai was listless all day long.

Even Mo Qi is often mysterious, and Xie Kai doesn't pay too much attention to it.

It was almost a month since I came back, and Xie Kai was still in that state, studying in school every day.

"What's wrong with this kid? I went to the South China Sea, and when I came back, my whole person changed..."

"What else? I originally thought that in the name of the Saudi Navy, we could do a big vote. You know, the weapons and ammunition on the training ship were replaced with live ammunition before going." Zheng Yucheng naturally knew Xie Kai's. thing.

Although Xie Kai is not a soldier and a weapon, who doesn't want to see his weapons crush the enemy severely?

"What do you say about the Thai bid? Let him relax?" Wang Guilin asked Zheng Yucheng.

"This is not so good? Foreign intelligence agencies are collecting his information everywhere." Zheng Yucheng said, shaking his head.

For Xie Kai's safety, he regarded his life more seriously.

"Mo Qi should also go to relax in this situation. The scenery over there is good. Let's increase security..." Wang Guilin felt that Xie Kai should be allowed to go to Thailand to relax.

Hold back all day, when something goes wrong, it is the loss of the entire base.

They used to think that Xie Kai was not doing business properly, but now Xie Kai is reluctant to talk to people all day, and no longer play with his ideas, or even think about selling weapons everywhere, which is even more worrying.

Otherwise, the two old guys would never be here at this time.

"Why are you here?" Xie Kai came back from get out of class and watched Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin apply for solemnity. He was shocked. Could something be wrong?

"It's a bit work. I have to send someone to Thailand to bid. Their navy needs two frigates." Wang Guilin said, seeing Xie Kai look lacking in interest, and hurriedly said, "If you don't need to participate, you can just go to Thailand for a holiday. "

"Is there anything good over there? In terms of sea views, it is not as beautiful as the islands in the South China Sea!"

The two old guys looked at each other and finally understood the crux of the problem.

The navy did not agree to build on the islands and reefs proposed by Xie Kai that the Vietnamese had not seized, and Xie Kai worried that the Vietnamese would steal the islands secretly.

It won't be easy at that time.

In the case of low military expenditure, it is almost unrealistic for the navy to keep a fleet in the Spratly Islands for a long time and stare at the Vietnamese.

There are no naval bases around, and supply ships can't always come to supply the fleet. That's all for money.

"The South China Sea matter, let's put it down first, we are not fighting, but the weapon design and production unit. You kid too, since you are so interested in these things, why didn't you enter the military school?" Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai and was dissatisfied. To say.

"Starting from the graduated lieutenant? How long would it take to stay at our base. I am a major general at any rate, isn't it?" Zheng Yucheng said with a grimace.

The military-industrial units all belong to the military's logistics department.

Zheng Yucheng is a real major general.

It's just that the old guy is usually very low-key.

It's impossible to wander around in military uniforms when you come out.

"Uncle Zheng, I'm thinking these days, should we contract out those islands for development? The people in our base usually can only live in Qilian Mountains, or contract Jinghong Island to build a sanatorium, let's People from the base take turns to the nursing home for vacation, what do you think?"

Xie Kai really didn't give up.

The Nansha naval battle did not start. Although the Vietnamese are now retreating, it is absolutely impossible to give up like this.

The navy is now unwilling to station troops on the island due to funding reasons, and will be snatched away by the Vietnamese at that time, and it is almost impossible for the Vietnamese to return on their own initiative in the future.

"Are you crazy?" Zheng Yucheng was taken aback.

This idea is crazy.

Even Wang Guilin felt that Xie Kai's idea was too crazy.

"Military expenditure is tight. If the navy wants to station troops, the first thing is to build on the island. Transport construction materials from the country. This is definitely not a simple matter. It requires a lot of money. At the same time, with the garrison, the navy has to frequently visit the island There is no fresh water, no land to grow vegetables, everything has to be transported from the mainland..." Xie Kai introduced.

Under the current circumstances, in order to alleviate the problem of funding shortages, not only military units began to produce civilian products to make profits when there were no military orders, but even the military was able to do business.

This is also because of the lack of funds and there is no alternative.

If the islands are kept, without the Navy’s funding, this should be easier to handle.

"This thing is not easy to handle, there is no precedent for contracting the island."

"Let's build a naval maintenance point over there..." Xie Kai has been thinking about it these days.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

In his original world, after the naval battle broke out, the Vietnamese army took the initiative to withdraw from Jinghong Island, and the surrounding large reefs were controlled by the navy.

As long as there are people on these islands, it will not be easy for Vietnam to occupy them again.

"This is impossible." Zheng Yucheng shook his head.

"What about the special operations brigade? Isn't the special operations brigade going to be integrated into three habitats by sea, land, and air. It would be great to build a training base there." Xie Kai's plan is a set of plans, anyway, he didn't intend to do it like this. give up.

An island, even if only the tip of a needle is exposed on the sea, and the flag is inserted, it is the land.

What's more, there are hundreds of people stationed on such a big island.

"Don't think about it, the Vietnamese on Jinghong Island have not completely evacuated at all... Once we are going to land, it will inevitably cause conflicts, and then it will be troublesome." Zheng Yucheng sighed.

He knows the purpose of Xie Kai, but this matter is really not easy to operate.

Seeing that Xie Kai was silent again, Wang Guilin was ready to bring the topic back, and said, "Let’s talk about the Thai Navy’s procurement of frigates. Xie Kai, a domestic military unit has participated in the international defense bidding project. This is the first time. , I don’t have much experience, especially the Hudong Shipyard..."

"What frigate does Thailand purchase?" Xie Kai really has no interest.

No matter how many warships are sold, there is no real island.

What's more, it was originally China's own island and country.

"The 053 level is mainly to escort their aircraft carriers."

"Thais have an aircraft carrier?" Xie Kai thought this was a joke.

The Thais do have an aircraft carrier, but the helicopter carrier was only purchased from Spain in the 1990s, and the standard displacement of this thing is 7000 tons, and the full displacement is only 11450 tons. The aircraft carrier is a bit reluctant, and it can’t be formed. Too strong combat capability.

"No, during the inspection, but they need to build a frigate fleet for the aircraft carrier first." Wang Guilin introduced the situation, "also thanks to the incident in the south this time, the Thais feel that our frigate escorts their light aircraft carrier is more suitable……"

"Can they afford to pay?"

It's not that Xie Kai looks down on Thailand, but that 053H3 is relatively expensive.

The price of one ship made him sell for a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars.

Xie Kai remembered that Thais’ aircraft carrier orders were not even appreciated by major European and American shipyards. In the end, Thailand signed a contract with Spanish shipyards. The contract price for an aircraft carrier, excluding accessory weapons and carrier-based fighters, was only 3.6. One hundred million U.S. dollars.

After this thing was bought back by the Thai navy, to the back, it was not even equipped with carrier-based fighter jets.

There is no other reason-poor!

The aircraft carrier is not something that small countries and poor countries can afford to play. It is too expensive.

Xie Kai once saw from an article on the Internet that the Liaoning aircraft carrier needs to refuel 8,000 tons at a time when the tank is full. Even if the aircraft carrier refuels for 3,000 yuan a ton, it costs 24 million.

This is why Xie Kai is reluctant to touch the aircraft carrier project.

Even if the technical problems have been solved, the problem is that there are also various equipment of the aircraft carrier. When the Navy has no money, they have to pay for it themselves.

Too bad.

"You kid, we were worried about not having orders before. Now that we have the opportunity, we have to seize it, don't we? The frigates in the shipyard have been produced, and what are they produced?" Wang Guilin knew that Xie Kai was still thinking about the island problem in the South China Sea. No interest in these things.

"Actually, letting you go to Thailand is not for this, but for you to take Mo Qi out for a good time. Over the years, you have been running around for the base, and the base has nothing to give you..." Zheng Yucheng I almost missed it.

If it weren't for Wang Guilin to stare at him, he might have said something that shouldn't be said.

How to deal with that matter now, Zheng Yucheng and none of them show any ism.

"There is nothing interesting in Thailand. Mo Qi doesn't want to go out either." Xie Kai shook his head, he knew that Mo Qi didn't want to go abroad.

Every time I went abroad, I basically never had a good time.

It's better to stay in the country.

"This is not easy to fix." Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin came out of Xie Kai's room, both frowning.

"I can't tell him now, he is not old enough." Wang Guilin was also worried.

At first they were looking forward to this incident, but now, they are worried that it will affect Xie Kai's future.

"It won't work if you don't tell him, the more you get to the back, the less you will not deal with it.

The two old guys were frowning.

Xie Kai also frowned after Zheng Yucheng and Wang Guilin went out.

“Although Thailand’s economy has developed well in recent years, it’s not realistic to have an aircraft carrier. In 88 years in history, Thailand ordered two 053H2s domestically, but the price is not high, far less than 200 million. At the level of US dollars, they simply can't accept such an offer..." Xie Kai is also analyzing whether Thailand can accept a warship like 053H3.

The cost is too expensive.

053H2 adopts the model of order contract. The price of one ship is 46 million. According to the current exchange rate, it is more than 12 million US dollars. It is definitely not at that price.

Even if the H2 is worth $30 million, the profit is not low.

Xie Kai prefers to sell H3 and even higher-level warships.

The Chinese side does not know the specific ideas of Thailand.

Thailand really wants to expand its naval power. The rampant islands near their coastal waters, coupled with the threat of the Vietnamese navy, make them even more eager to improve the naval power.

The emergence of new frigates and warplanes in the South China Sea scared off the Vietnamese navy. Unlike the Western countries and Southeast Asian neighboring countries that have seized Chinese islands, when the Thai side learned the news, the high-level military began to become more active.

China's frigates are advanced and willing to export, giving many countries in the world that buy weapons to enrich their national defense capabilities and have a better choice.

Weaponry, whether it is from the Soviet Union or the United States, has a lot of political additional conditions.

Small countries either do not buy or agree to their terms.

Thailand, one of the four tigers in Asia, which represents the new round of economic growth, has experienced rapid economic growth in recent years, the domestic economic structure has improved significantly, and both the electronics industry and the automobile industry are developing rapidly. There is even a faint tendency to overwhelm other small economic tigers.

However, while the economy is developing, the Thai government is increasingly worried.

There is no other reason. The national defense strength cannot match the achievements of their economic construction.

There are many pirates near Thailand’s coast. Some of these islands were formed by Khmer domestic remnants, some were established by Myanmar's domestic warlords to raise funds, and some were acts of unfair competition by neighboring countries. Caused.

The larger pirates are camouflaged by the Vietnamese navy.

The Vietnamese Navy has a lot of armed transport ships. If you fly the national flag, you will be the navy. If you fly the navy flag, you will be pirates.

The tonnage of the Thai navy's warships is small, and it can't compete with the Vietnamese navy at all.

What's more, when the United States invaded Vietnam, it leased many military bases in Thailand, and most of the millions of tons of bombs that the United States dropped into Vietnam's territory were transported from Thailand.

In the building of the Ministry of Defense of Thailand, Chief of Staff Shuntong Khlong Sompong is looking at Commander Chavalit Yongchaiyu, the highest commander of the armed forces, waiting for the commander's reply.

But the commander just smoked silently without answering. The chief of staff waited a little anxiously: "Commander, the Vietnamese looked at the new frigate of the Chinese Navy and retreated. This is the news we got from the CIA, as long as we have it. Two ships are enough to change the status quo..."

Commander Chavalit Yongchaiyu frowned and said, "Although their warships are advanced, they are too expensive!"

"We don't have to choose Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, and the one that appeared in the South China Sea was not ordered by Saudi Arabia and Bahrain..." Shuntong Khlong Sompong still respects his commander in one hand. "Western The country’s warships are more expensive. Are we again inviting the US fleet to the base in Thailand?"
