Chapter 367 Da Mao let go of Varyag

   "Mr. Qin, are you in such a hurry to leave?" The leader of the base looked at Qin Tao in front of the plane and said with emotion: "You can stay here for a few more days, and let us show the friendship of the landlord."

   "Isn't there just a plane back to Huating? I'll take the plane with them to save my own helicopter from coming over to pick me up. This take-off and landing can save tens of thousands of dollars."

   "It's agreed to get drunk!"

   "Next time, if you go to Huating or Mingzhou, I invite you."

   "Yes, Mr. Qin, when will your shipyard be able to build a few warships for our fleet!"

   "This is your real purpose, right?" Qin Tao smiled and looked at the person in front of him: "You guys are asking the wrong question, I am not qualified."

  The three fleets of the motherland now make the southern fleet the most shabby.

   In the north, there are two 052 ships and two 051C ships. In the east, there are two Hyundai-class ships purchased. What about the south? What's in the south?

  The frigate belongs to the frigate, and the destroyer belongs to the destroyer. Seeing that the two brother fleets will have a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, what does their southern fleet have? Or the 051 facade with a displacement of 3,000 tons.

  Of course they are also greedy.

   However, Qin Tao’s answer is okay. Whether it can be built or not is not up to them at Mingzhou Shipyard, but depends on the appropriation from the superior! The military expenditure of the navy is not so much, and there is no rice in the pot, how to cook porridge?

   "After the 054 is built, I will give you two ships. Okay, let's go." Wu Shengli said, waved his big hand, and took Qin Tao and others onto the plane.

   This is a Tu-104. After Qin Tao got it back, several of them became special landlines for naval leaders to travel. They are cheap and affordable. After all, this place was originally an island. If you don’t take a plane, you have to take a boat.

  In the cockpit, Qin Tao watched the plane slowly leave the runway, full of thoughts.

   Will that EP-3 land here in a few years?

   No, no! Because I will make the motherland stronger!

  Qin Tao clenched his fists.

   "The problem with the southern fleet is indeed not small. So far, the navy has not been able to equip them with large warships." Wu Shengli said, "Taozi, do you have any ideas?"

   What can I think? It really has nothing to do with me!

  Qin Tao thought to himself.

"For now, gas turbines are still the key technology that restricts our navy's large ships. Without advanced gas turbines, we cannot build warships with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons." Qin Tao did not mention money, but first introduced the technology The above question was mentioned.

"The next step is the research and development of our Sea Star radar." Qin Tao continued: "We must now produce warships, and we must aim at the situation in ten or twenty years. Without a four-sided phased array, the naval ships cannot Go out to perform missions. Therefore, the next warship to be produced is an air defense destroyer with a displacement of more than 6,000 tons, a four-sided phased array radar and dozens of vertical launch units. Although the relevant technologies are being studied, they have not yet matured. when."

Wu Shengli nodded: "Yes, these technologies are not yet mature. Now, we can only let 054 make up the numbers temporarily. Fortunately, although 054 is a frigate, its displacement is higher than that of 051, and it can be regarded as filling the gap in the southern fleet. gone."

   Both money and technology must keep up. At present, it is not yet time for the navy's main ships to make dumplings.

  In the cabin, it was temporarily quiet.

   "What if we buy from Lao Maozi again?" A leader said.

"Purchasing is also a solution, but what do we want to purchase?" Qin Tao said: "At the beginning, the purchase of the modern class was for the various weapons on it. Two ships are enough, and they are still about to be assembled. If we continue Procurement, the old Maozi has to restart production, everyone knows what the old Maozi's military industry system looks like, and now it is too risky to let them restart production."

  Everyone nodded.

  In the past few years since the collapse of the Red Empire, everyone has seen how the country has declined rapidly. Ordering semi-finished warships can be completed by installing some weapons, and the risk is less. If a brand new warship is built, the consequences are unpredictable.

   “What about procurement subsystems? Like powertrain?”

  Navy warships lack gas turbines the most. As long as they have mature gas turbines, they can build warships with higher displacement.

"If we can purchase gas turbines from Ermao, then we can continue to manufacture large warships now." The leader opened up his mind: "Our land-based Hongqi-9 missile has been successfully tested, and the big deal is like two 051Cs. Go to the warship to form our most important anti-aircraft weapon system. Build two ships first, and use them as an emergency for the southern fleet."

Qin Tao shook his head helplessly: "Ermao's gas turbine? We have already recruited a group of people. Now there are many old men in the 703 Institute. Think about it, not only we are digging, but the West is also digging. How many people are there in Ermao? A large number of their technicians are lost, even if they can be made, do we dare to use them? Will there be any problems?"

  When Qin Tao said this, everyone was silent.

   Indeed.

  The legacy of the era of the Red Empire has been almost squandered. How much capacity does the Dawn Alliance have? I dare not use the ones that were created.

If there is an emergency, the gas turbine at the Shuguang Consortium is indeed an important source of power, but Qin Tao also knows in his heart that the technology of the UGT15000 gas turbine is too old, and the improved UGT25000, after the collapse of the Red Empire, Ermao has no That ability is gone.

  In later generations, it was also because China ordered ten units that the Suguang Design Bureau was brought back to life. Now, if it can be done by itself, there is no need to ask Ermao for help. It has technology, funds, etc., just waiting for the passage of time.

  In these fields, Qin Tao has become an authority. Now that Qin Tao has said so, others will be silent.

  In the cabin, there was another burst of silence.

   Qin Tao leaned on the seat and fell asleep.

   When they arrived at Huating, it was already night, and several people returned home.

   "Come, let me listen." After entering the door, Qin Tao pounced on his wife's belly, put his ear on it, and could hear some movements inside.

   "The little guy in my belly has been making a lot of noise recently. I guess it's a boy in all likelihood, not as quiet as a girl." Zhao Ling said.

   "Well, men and women are the same." At this time, men and women cannot be photographed, but Qin Tao is very open, and he really has no prejudice against men and women.

   "What's delicious tonight?" Wu Shengli asked, "I smell a pig's hoof."

   "Yes, pig's trotters." Zhao Xiu'e said: "I made it for Xiaoling, you are also lucky."

   "This pig's trotter, it's a bit early to eat." Qin Tao said with emotion: "Generally speaking, you have to wait until the baby is born, it's for milking."

   "Hey, you know there are many more." Zhao Ling looked at Qin Tao.

   "That is, I brought that book on parenting knowledge to Experiment No. 3. I read it many times when I was bored at sea." Qin Tao said.

"oh."

   Just when the family was having fun, Xu Zhengyang came.

   "Zhengyang, come, let's eat together." Qin Tao greeted.

  Xu Zhengyang shook his head: "President Qin, there is important news, I think it's better to tell you as soon as possible."

   After finishing speaking, Xu Zhengyang leaned into Qin Tao's ear and said a word.

  Hearing this, Qin Tao was suddenly excited: "So fast?"

"Um."

   "What's the matter?" Wu Shengli also noticed something.

   "Dad, come to the study." Qin Tao said.

   "This meal is already served, why do you..."

  Zhao Xiu'e watched the three people enter the study, but she also had no temper at all.

   "What is it that makes you so happy?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

   "Zhengyang, tell me."

   "Well, we just received news that the Damao Navy has officially decided to abandon the Varyag." Xu Zhengyang said.

   "Da Mao Navy gave up?" Wu Shengli was also shocked by this statement: "That is to say, can we buy that warship back?"

Under Qin Tao's indoctrination, Wu Shengli has also firmly established this concept: a few Kiev-class heavy aircraft carrier cruisers cannot meet his own needs. If he wants to obtain a real aircraft carrier, he can only get it from Varyag No. Start.

  However, it is not so easy to purchase the Varyag.

  The first problem is that the warship is in dispute. The Da Mao Navy and Er Mao have been arguing endlessly over the ownership of the Varyag.

  In Da Mao’s eyes, that warship is a legacy from the era of the Red Empire. Although it was built in Er Mao’s shipyard, it also belonged to Da Mao’s navy. They only need to pay the remaining costs to complete the construction of this warship.

   Ermao? Definitely not doing it, insisting that this warship is Ermao's property. After all, when the family was separated, it belongs to whoever it falls into!

  So, if Da Mao wants to buy it, he has to pay the full amount.

  The two parties have been arguing for several years over the issue of cost. This is like a house with problematic property rights. Who would dare to buy it without a good eye? Even if you buy it, you can’t live in it!

  So, although Qin Tao was greedy, he didn't do it right away, because Qin Tao knew that the warship was beyond his reach. Every time he went to the Black Sea Shipyard, he could only watch and drool.

  Now, the Damao Navy has resigned to its fate, and they already know that they have no ability to complete the Varyag at all, even if they only pay the remaining 30% of the cost, it is not something they can do.

   Just look at the fate of the Kiev-class heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers of their navy now, and you will know that they all died young in their prime.

  The only ship, the Kuznetsov, is still alone on the pier. The carrier-based aircraft has not yet been equipped, and even if it is equipped, there is no fund to lease the Nitka base for training.

   With the current situation of the Da Mao Navy, it is impossible to get involved in the Varyag, so they let go!

  Qin Tao's opportunity came.

   At this time, Qin Tao nodded after hearing Wu Shengli's question: "That's right, we can buy that warship back!"

   "How much does it cost?" Wu Shengli continued to be excited.

   "At least 100 million."

   "What did you say?" Wu Shengli was shocked by this number.

   100 million!

   "Second-hand scrapped warships, are they so expensive? Didn't the Kiev ship be bought back for a few million?" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with some embarrassment: "It actually costs 100 million?"

Only the Minsk, under Qin Tao's flicker, was willing to spend 80 million to buy it, and with the 20 million design drawings, it cost a total of 100 million. However, Dazhou Company has Bankruptcy and bankruptcy, everyone has seen how risky it is to buy a second-hand aircraft carrier!

  Da Mao’s navy doesn’t want it, and Er Mao’s side can only disassemble it for scrap iron, and it won’t sell for much.

  Qin Tao actually said 100 million?

"That's right, at least 100 million." Qin Tao said: "Among them, the cost of official purchases may only need 20 million, but to manage the relationship between top and bottom, it needs 80 million, and everyone must be fed. Only then can we bring that warship back.”

  Wu Shengli frowned.

   "What's wrong?" Qin Tao looked at Wu Shengli: "Dad, is there anything difficult for you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"

   "If it only costs a few million, our navy can find a way to raise it. If it costs 100 million, we don't have that much money at all!"

  Wu Shengli is worried about money.

  Projects worth hundreds of millions cannot be resolved within the navy, and a superior must be invited to make this decision.

  However, the superiors have not yet unified their thinking.

Although it is definitely necessary to develop the navy of the motherland, there are big differences on how to develop it. Even with the incident of the Xingchen, most people still think that it is enough to maintain a near-water navy. After all, aircraft carriers are offensive. weapons.

  Our country's foundation is not strong enough. At this time, it is not suitable to develop offensive weapons.

  Therefore, many people do not support the navy launching an aircraft carrier. The navy can only do pre-research all the time and cannot get enough support.

   Now, to spend 100 million, you have to explain the situation to your superiors. If such a large amount of funds is secretly mobilized, then if something goes wrong in the future, Wu Shengli will be in big trouble.

  Hearing that his father-in-law was worried about this, Qin Tao smiled brightly.

   "Taozi, why are you laughing? Dad is very anxious right now!" Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao angrily.

"A penny is hard for a hero. I have known this truth for a long time. Therefore, over the years, I have been making money non-stop, making money, in order to be able to give money when I need it." Qin Tao He said, "The purchase of the Varyag is a matter of our Mingzhou Group. Does it have anything to do with our navy?"

   "You pay to buy warships for our navy?"

   "We paid for ourselves to buy a super luxury cruise ship, which will be converted into a casino in the future." Qin Tao said: "Well, our Mingzhou Group has to put aside the relationship and register a new company."

   "Then you will donate to the navy in the future?" Wu Shengli doesn't care about these things that have nothing to do with them, he only focuses on the key points.

"Of course it's impossible. How much money we spent in total will be recorded, including the cost of our transportation. In the future, the navy will unify its thinking and decide to want this warship. We have to transfer the money we spent to the navy to buy the part." The interest of time is included." Qin Tao said very directly: "In short, we will not make money from the Navy, but we will definitely not suffer losses."

   "You are really a skinny guy." Wu Shengli laughed and teased his son-in-law.

   "Zhou Papi is better than Shen Wansan." Qin Tao said.

Xu Zhengyang's gaze became complicated. He knew that Mr. Qin was very capable of making money, and Mr. Qin didn't care about money. Many things Mr. Qin did were for the country and the people. However, Mr. Qin was also very smart, and he took care of everything Just right.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this, when do you plan to leave?" Wu Shengli asked Qin Tao.

   "Leaving? Why are you leaving?" Qin Tao asked back.

   "What else is there, of course it is to buy Varyag!" Wu Shengli looked at his son-in-law dissatisfiedly, you are asking knowingly.

   "What's the hurry, I have to wait for a while."

   "Wait, wait?"

"Of course we have to wait. Now Ermao thought that the warship was a sweet pastry. He held it in his hand and was waiting to make a lot of money. Now let's go to buy it. Ermao might ask for two billion." Qin Tao said : "If we want to buy it, we can buy it at the scrap iron price. If we go up now, we will be taken advantage of."

In the past, Ermao had no right to deal with the Varyag. They could only keep arguing with Da Mao. Now, Da Mao has finally let go, and Er Mao can handle it by himself. In their eyes, the Varyag The number is still very valuable and can be sold at a high price.

   Now, if you take the initiative to come to the door, you will be slaughtered!

  Wu Shengli sighed: "That is to say, we can't do anything now?"

   "That's not true. There is still something we can do now. For example, our teacher Zhang can analyze the future of this warship." Qin Tao said with a smile.

   "Have you finished talking? The food is cold, and Xiaoling is still waiting for you to eat together!" Zhao Xiu'e's voice came from outside.

   "Okay, here we come!" Qin Tao was the first to open the door and go out.

another beautiful day!

  Far East, Vladivostok.

   "Boss Qin's method is really good, we have already brought up this warship." Kvyat looked at the huge warship standing in the open space of the shipyard, feeling emotional in his heart.

   Only Mr. Qin can come up with this kind of native way of getting on the horse!

   Half of the scaffolding has been erected. As long as they are fully erected, they can start building warships.

   "Yes, Qin's family runs a shipyard. He is very familiar with this kind of thing. If it wasn't for avoiding being discovered by Ah San, we could even ask him to be our consultant." Nicholas said.

   "Your Excellency Nikolai, Director of Kvyat, Ah San is here again." Zaitsev whispered to the two.

   Chetri, Kidambi and others came over.

   "How about it, Mr. Chettery, we didn't lie, did we? We said that we would tow this ship up for refitting, and now we have done it." Nicholas said to the third boys with a smile.

   "Yes, the scaffolding is being built now, and the work will officially start soon. Please rest assured, we will definitely complete the modification task." Kvyat also said.

  Chetri had a shameful expression on his face: "I'm sorry, the situation has changed."

   "There has been a change, what has changed?" Now it was Nikolai and Kvyat's turn to be surprised.

   "Our country has instructed that the refitting project of this aircraft carrier will be temporarily stopped."

   "Temporarily stop, why? Didn't you all keep urging me before?"

   "Yes, things have changed a bit now, everyone, I'm very sorry."

  Nikolai thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened: "Are you going to buy the Varyag?"

  Ah San has always been very enthusiastic about aircraft carriers. He was tossed about many times before and after, and finally decided to invest in this Novorossiysk. Some time ago, they kept urging them, but now they suddenly want to brake.

   There must have been other major changes.

  The answer is ready to come out: Ah San has taken a fancy to the Varyag!

"Yes, the voice in our country is very high now, so a delegation has already left for Ermao." Chetri was also very helpless: "If the Varyag project is negotiated, it will definitely cost a fortune There is a huge amount of money, so we can only suspend the transformation of Chaoriwang first."

  With the beginning of the transformation, Ah San has named the aircraft carrier Chaoriwang, and everything is going well, but there is an accident in the middle.

   "It's okay to suspend, but don't think about the deposit. We have already ordered all the raw materials, and, because of your reasons, the construction period and renovation funds have increased. Don't blame us then." Nicholas' face became serious.

"Yes, we know." Chetri's face was equally ugly: "You two also know that the current project is promoted by our team, and if the project can go on until the delivery of the ship, it is all thanks to us. However, we can't influence the opinions of many bigwigs in the country. So..."

   "Understood, you can go."

   After Chetri, Kidambi and others left, Kvyat said with emotion: "If Ah San really bought the Varyag, then the aircraft carrier will probably be shut down indefinitely."

   "That's fine. At that time, we will have an excuse to cancel the project and use the existing funds to transform the aircraft carrier, and we will use it ourselves!" Nicholas said, at this time, he was still immersed in fantasy.

   "Ah San's existing funds are still a bit small, and our factory is still not enough to complete the transformation." Kvyat said.

   "Well, when our country's economy improves, it should be almost done." Nicholas was full of confidence.

   Just when Chetri and Kidambi disappointedly notified the suspension of the aircraft carrier modification project, another team set off from the capital of Asan with great interest and flew directly to Nikolayev.

  On the plane, Sunil, a senior naval officer, was extremely excited.

"Compared to the Varyag, the Chaoriwang is a piece of shit." He made no secret of his contempt for the Chaoriwang: "The displacement of that aircraft carrier is only 40,000 tons, while the displacement of the Varyag , with a full 60,000 to 70,000 tons, a larger deck area, and more fighters that can be operated! We need a powerful aircraft carrier to show the majesty of our three-nation navy!"

   Of course, there are many beneficial factors in this. After all, the Chaoriwang has already started construction, and a large deposit has been accepted. There is no need to stop the project, after all, they need more than one aircraft carrier.

  However, he still used his own connections to lobby various departments to stop the Chaori King and buy the Varyag with all his strength.
