"General, congratulations." Xie Kai saw that Lafata carried a gold star on his shoulder. It was definitely made of real gold. He even wanted to take a bite to see the purity of this thing.

People's generals don't have a big Venus on their shoulders, and the Venus on a Saudi tyrant's military uniform is actually bigger than a thumb!

Lafata looked at Xie Kai, "What do you congratulate me?"

"Isn't I a general, Commander of the Navy..." Xie Kai smiled even more, and then asked: "General, I don't know when your fleet will return to China? We have trained for so long here..."

"Isn't training on your side more in line with your expectations? We didn't pay less for training fees, food and other expenses." When Lafata heard Xie Kai drove them away, she was immediately dissatisfied.

Their officers and soldiers are not very familiar with the operation of battleships.

Especially some arms with relatively strong technicality.

It's not that Saudi Arabia doesn't want their navy to return to China earlier. At present, the silly damu is a bit muddled, but the Saudi navy does not yet have much combat capability.

In China, the training intensity is much better than that of training on their own after returning home.

"General, that's not what I meant, I just asked." Xie Kai was embarrassed. Before, he still wanted to earn Saudi training fees or something.

Even these 053H3s ordered by Saudi Arabia from China were used to train navy officers and soldiers.

Many of the above weapons and equipment are new, and the navy is not familiar with the technical arms. After all, the navy does not have such warships.

For small countries, the 053H3, a small integrated warship with relatively strong air defense capabilities and ground attack capabilities, as well as very strong anti-ship capabilities and anti-submarine capabilities, is already very powerful.

"Thanks, you wouldn't find me just to ask this, are you?" Lafata was a little unwelcome to Xie Kai.

"General, this is the case. The Thai navy has also ordered a few 053H2 types. They want to know the difference with the H3, and the Argentine Navy has also shown a very strong interest in our type of warship..."

Saudi warships are still moored at the shipyard, and the training is usually carried out by the navy fleet. Every time it is very spectacular.

Not only did the four H3s ordered by Saudi Arabia not be driven back, but also the two Bahraini did not go back.

The two warships of the Bahraini Navy were not with Saudi Arabia, but trained with the South China Sea Fleet at a naval base in the South China Sea.

Almost none of these two countries originally had a navy and had little experience in naval construction.

In China, it is almost a whole set of naval construction, from logistics supplies to fleet command operations.

Xie Kai doesn't know why a small country like Bahrain is so obsessed with naval construction, how big a fleet can such a small country afford?

At least the sea area of ​​Saudi Arabia is relatively large.

Can't understand them at all.

"Borrow our warship?" Rafata frowned.

Thailand and Argentina are too far away from the Arabian Sea in the Middle East, so there is no need to worry about having too much impact on the Saudi navy.

"No, just take a look." Xie Kai said, "It happens that your naval officers and soldiers are too tired to train, take a break..."

Lafata looked at Xie Kai, and knew that he would not agree. This kid probably has to have other means to achieve his goal, "It’s no problem to give them a tour. What are we good for?"

"General, this..." Xie Kai didn't know how to answer for a while.

When did the Saudis become such snobbery?

"How about getting us an old warship as a target ship? We need to test your anti-ship missiles. At the same time, we also need to check the training results of our naval officers and soldiers. After training for so long in your country, we have not conducted live fire. ..." Rafata said to Xie Kai seriously.

Saudi Arabia does not like this training method of the Chinese.

From the beginning, when their naval officers and soldiers were not familiar with anything, they could accept all kinds of simulation training.

As a result, when their naval officers and soldiers became proficient, they still had to simulate training. At most, they would drive the warship out to the open sea and wander around and form a formation with the Chinese training fleet. The live ammunition shot was pitiful.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

The training mode of the Chinese is no longer in line with the training of the Saudi navy fleet.

"General, this is not so good. We don't have a few retired warships in our country..." Xie Kai understood why the Saudis didn't leave.

They want to test in China. In the Middle East, they can hardly find a few warships with a larger tonnage. Even if they have anti-ship missiles, they don’t have much chance...

"The Saudis want live ammunition to target, and they also need a larger-tonnage warship?" Yu Haitao looked at Xie Kai with a look of embarrassment, "Where are we going to find retired warships for them as target ships? We need large warships. Even the Anshan class previously purchased from the Soviet Union is still in service in China..."

There are not several live ammunition firings in the country.

In the past, the navy built few warships, and every warship of the naval forces was extremely valuable. Almost all warships were retired when they were really unusable.

Didn’t you see that the “Four King Kong” purchased by the Navy from the Soviet Union in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China are still in service?

When I heard Yu Haitao talk about the Anshan class, Xie Kai's eyes turned and he had an idea: "By the way, Lieutenant Colonel Yu, the Navy’s 102 Fushun ship seems to be decommissioned, right?"

"Do you want to make the Anshan class idea? This is the most important combat ship in the development of our navy!" Yu Haitao was taken aback by Xie Kai's crazy idea.

It's a joke!

Although the four navy kings say that their performance is backward, even though they no longer have much powerful combat capabilities, for all naval officers and soldiers, these warships are absolutely precious.

Xie Kai wanted to make this kind of feat of warship, which had undertaken the heavy duty of coastal defense for decades in the Republican Navy's combat sequence, be used as a target ship, which had to make people feel crazy.

"Too old. I have to retire anyway. Instead of selling scrap to a shipbreaker, it is better to use the waste heat." Xie Kai sighed, but he didn't want to.

But there is really no other target ship that meets the requirements in China.

Several Saudi warships have also shot targets before, and they are all small fishing boats used as targets. For the Saudi navy, it is absolutely not addictive.

Lafata directly requested that warships of more than 1,000 tons must be used as target ships to test the combat capabilities of their navy.

After the combat capability is tested, the Saudi navy can go back to protect the Saudi waters.

"This kind of thing is impossible!" Yu Haitao shook his head directly.

Xie Kai knew that it was useless to discuss with him, so he could only find another way.

The Anshan-class destroyers that the navy bought from the Soviet Union indeed have a very important position.

Even after the 051 guided missile destroyer was put into service, these old warships are still in the navy's combat sequence. This year, the first Anshan-class ship is about to be decommissioned. Xie Kai also knows that this warship will be sold to a shipbreaking plant to scrap iron and sell it.

Instead of this, it is better to let the Saudis buy as a target ship.

It is best to be a target ship in front of the Thai navy and the Argentine navy. You may get unexpected orders.

The luxurious configuration of 053H3 makes money.

The kind purchased by the Thai Navy is similar to the domestic maintenance, and the profit is really not high.

"Get a target ship?" Li Qingmin and others didn't understand what Xie Kai wanted to fix.

"Isn't the No. 102 Fushun going to retire? The Navy is not going to sell it to the shipbreaking yard?" Xie Kai nodded and said, "Let's go to Hudong Shipyard to buy it back."

"The navy will not agree that the Anshan-class destroyer has a very important significance in the history of naval development." Gu Baonong knew that Xie Kai wanted to take the opportunity to sell the upgraded 053H3 ship to the Argentines and the Thai navy, which could be used as an Anshan-class destroyer. The target ship is also somewhat unacceptable to them.

Before the 051 was in service, the Anshan class was the largest destroyer in the country.

"It shouldn't be a big problem to buy it back as a target ship, but there is not enough time. Moreover, it takes a long time to disassemble the weapon system on it." Li Qingmin doesn't think there is anything inappropriate about the Anshan class as a target ship. .

Xie Kai looked at them and felt that he was too naive to discuss with them, "Arrange for them to visit the shipyard in the afternoon."

In the afternoon, people from the shipyard accompanied members of the Thai Navy and the Argentine delegation to visit the shipyard. Xie Kai directly contacted Zheng Yucheng who was still in the capital.

Ask Zheng Yucheng over the phone to ask whether the Naval Command can sell them the retired 102 ship as a target ship to test the actual combat performance of the 053H3.

"You want to buy the 102 ship?" Commander Liu looked puzzled at Zheng Yucheng's request.

He knows every warship of the Navy.

There are not many large surface combatants in such a huge country.

As the commander of the navy, you naturally need to know how much you have.

"Yes. Commander Liu, isn't the 102 ship going to be sold to the shipbreaking plant? That can't be sold for a lot of money, we bought it as a target ship, let this meritorious ship use the residual heat for the construction of the national navy..." Zheng Yucheng smiled.

They purchase decommissioned warships from the Navy, which is definitely not too high.

Then it was sold to Saudi Arabia. When the Saudi navy was shooting targets, the officials of the Thai navy and the Argentine navy were recruited to show them that even if the Thai navy does not upgrade to H3, the Argentine navy does not require 053H3 frigates, at least they can sell a lot of them. Isn't the C-801 anti-ship missile?

Zheng Yucheng directly explained the purpose of making a target ship.

From the bottom of his heart, Commander Liu didn't want them to blow up and sink the Anshan class, which has deep feelings for the Navy.

But he also knows that the Anshan class has been in service for too long, its performance is seriously lagging, and the hull is aging, and it is impossible not to retire.

"When do you want it?"

"The sooner the better. We are waiting for a reply over there." Zheng Yucheng was relieved when he saw that Commander Liu had no objection.

Thousands of tons of warships in the country are all in service, and few have been retired.

A warship of several hundred tons did not have such a good effect. It could not carry a few rounds of offensive at all, and perhaps it sank before the previous battleship’s main artillery attack ended.

"Agree? Just agree." Xie Kai got a reply, feeling a little bit sad.

No one wants to sink such a warship.

But now, it has to sink.
