Chapter 492 Carrier fire

  Oriental Maritime Blockade.

There is a side elevator at the front and back of the island, so that it has two elevators, the size is 16 meters long and 14 meters wide, although the Su-33 after folding the wings is only less than eight meters wide , but it has a length of more than 20 meters, which cannot be folded.

At this time, the side lift can play its unique advantages: the buttocks of the carrier-based aircraft can be exposed outside, as long as the wheels are fixed on the lift, there will be no problem, and it is no problem to extend five or six meters outward. .

   Therefore, this kind of warship can operate carrier-based aircraft such as the Su-33.

   As for the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, it doesn’t work, it uses a built-in elevator, and there is an internal pothole on the side of the island, which limits the size of the aircraft to be smaller than the elevator.

  So, even if Ah San of later generations bought Rafale fighter jets from the French, he could not deploy Rafale fighter jets to aircraft carriers, because the elevators were too small to fit them in.

  Only the MiG-29 can barely enter, so no matter how dissatisfied Asan is with the MiG-29K, they have no other choice but to use this carrier-based fighter.

  At this time, billowing thick smoke was constantly coming out of the elevator port behind the Dongfang Sea Blockade.

Inside the elevator, there are more than a dozen fume canisters, which are used during exercises. At the same time, behind these fume canisters, there are several large industrial electric fans, which are facing the front fume canisters. Can blow.

  So, the smoke did not diffuse into the cabin, but just kept going out, which looked very spectacular.

  Behind the smoke, Kozlov observed the scene and replaced the fume pot with a new one when necessary, and said to the people around him: "Old factory manager, what is the use of us doing this?"

   Makarov smiled: "Boss Qin didn't say it, but I think the usefulness of doing this is to declare to the outside world that this warship has become a hulk."

   "Hulk? How is it possible? It is in our hands, and it will become an aircraft carrier again!" Kozlov disagreed.

   "That's right, of course it will become an aircraft carrier again, but before it can become an aircraft carrier, it needs to go through such a step. After all, its announced use is still a blocking ship."

  The only way to turn a ship into an aircraft carrier?

  Kozlov reacted: "I see!"

  On the outfitting dock.

A group of people went around inside the submarine, and when they finally came out, everyone was very excited. Mamish vowed: "Please rest assured, we will be able to raise funds for the second submarine soon. Please continue to build the second submarine." Two ships!"

   "Hey, what's going on over there?" Zheng Ming saw the flames emerging from the Dawu in the distance, and asked everyone in surprise.

  Qin Tao smiled and chatted with Mamish, and when he looked in the direction of Zheng Ming's finger, his expression changed drastically: "I'm sorry, we're sorry!"

   After speaking, he jumped ashore in big strides, and then ran towards Dawu.

  At this time, the Dawu side was already in chaos. Some people were running back and forth, and some people had already set up water hoses and poured water over there, trying to put out the flames.

  Oriental Maritime Blockade accidentally caught fire during renovation!

  The news quickly spread throughout the country, the whole world.

  People who stare at this project from all sides have the mentality of watching the excitement.

  Hmph, Mingzhou Group sometimes misses!

   The aura of the Mingzhou Group has been broken!

  Mingzhou Group's construction quality is questionable!

  Is that ship still available? It was originally a broken shell, but now even the broken shell has been burned, the quality must not meet the standard!

   Three days later.

  Mingzhou Group finally announced the results of the accident investigation.

"There is a foreign worker who, because he loves to drink, was bought by some drinking buddies outside. After accepting a large bribe from the other party, he intentionally set fire!" Qin Tao's face was extremely serious: "This is not an ordinary modification accident, this is completely A long-planned sabotage! We express our indignation to the conspirators behind it!"

  The reporters exploded in an instant.

  I knew that the Mingzhou Group could not make such a low-level mistake, but I didn't expect that there was such an inside story.

  Who is the conspirator behind it?

   Needless to say? It must be those people on the other side of the ocean. They kept making things difficult for the Varyag in the process of Chuanglv Company's procurement, and in the end they did not block the way for the ship to return to China. But these people will not be willing to fail. They Will do other things too!

  For example, deliberately win over certain boatmen, and then destroy them!

  The other party will definitely not be able to win over the domestic boatmen, so they simply recruit foreign boatmen. In the Mingzhou Group, there are a large number of foreigners working, and it is normal for one or two of them to be bribed.

  When the news reached some people’s ears, they felt as disgusted as if they had eaten shit. Although the ship was broken and they were happy, they didn’t do it!

   Isn't this pouring dirty water on them?

  However, if you report this as a credit, maybe you will be rewarded by your superiors?

  Just after Mingzhou Group announced the results of the investigation, Chuanglv Company also issued a statement.

Vitalia had already come to Mingzhou, but she didn't show up until today. She replaced Qin Tao, stood in front of the microphone, and looked at countless reporters: "We express our strong indignation at this behavior. At the same time, This failure will not hinder our determination to enter the gaming industry in Magang! We are a green company, and we are announcing a new plan here!"

Countless cameras were flashing, and under the lens, Vitalia said loudly: "No force can hinder us, and we are very confident in Mingzhou Group, so our group decided to order from Mingzhou Group A brand new blocking ship, this blocking ship will have a displacement of 100,000 tons! At the same time, we will name it the Oriental Sea Blocking City!"

  The shell of the 60,000-ton aircraft carrier was burned out, and Chuanglv Company was not discouraged. They definitely made a bigger vote: a 100,000-ton ship jam!

  Everyone was excited for a while, and each piece of news was exciting enough!

"Next, we will tow the burning ship to a nearby pier, free up the dock, and build a 100,000-ton blocking ship." Qin Tao walked up to the microphone and said, "Any conspiracy behind it is not It will hinder the progress of our Mingzhou Group!"

   There was a burst of applause below. In the eyes of the big guys, this was the beginning of a new effort by the Mingzhou Group.

  Dawu began to fill with water.

The old Dongfang Haicheng, which had been in the dock for half a year, slowly floated up with the infusion of sea water. With the help of the tugboat, it began to slowly leave the dock. Its movements were so slow that it As if he didn't want to leave here.

   It's just that, compared with when it came in, its sprayed paint makes it look brand new.

In the distance, Makarov stood on the pier and said to the people around him: "We still work in two shifts, the night shift is fine, but the day shift must enter before dawn, after dark After coming out, all kinds of materials needed for modification must be transported in place at night, which puts forward higher requirements for us.”

  Kozlov nodded: "Of course there is no problem, but why should we continue to be so cautious? Why not do it blatantly?"

   "Hold on, we'll be blatant in a few months," Makarov said.

   Time has entered October.

The old Dongfang Haicheng has once again become a hot topic of news this month. Because someone pushed it with ulterior motives, it accidentally caught fire. After the fire, it was completely scrapped. It was quite difficult to drag it back. Woolen cloth!

   At that time, the construction of the 100,000-ton New Oriental Maritime Blockade was started directly, and it may have been launched now!

  I originally wanted to take a shortcut, but found that I went around a big circle and returned to the original point.

  However, the big guys will not doubt the quality of Mingzhou Group's shipbuilding, and after this incident, they will strictly control the boatmen to avoid similar incidents.

After the external press conference, Qin Tao has completed another major event. The only regret is that this ship was launched for the first time after refitting, and there was no lively ceremony. However, this is not a big deal. Anyway, the interior is almost done in the future, and it has to be driven into the dock to spray paint on the boat again. At that time, it will be launched again, and the scene will definitely be very grand.

  However, this seems to be somewhat similar to Ah San. The aircraft carrier was thrown into the sea when it was half built. Thinking of this, Qin Tao smiled helplessly.

  The pace of development will not stop, and there is no need to worry too much, just take it step by step, and one day, some people will suddenly discover that Dongfang has become so powerful without knowing it.

   "President Qin, there is bad news from the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory." Xu Zhengyang whispered to Qin Tao.

   "Bad news?" Qin Tao frowned.

   "Yes, MTU has issued an official notice requesting that the 396 diesel engine be stopped for military use immediately, otherwise, they will stop the supply of parts."

   "This is to kill us." Qin Tao said, "Let's go to the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory to see."

  In the past, domestic marine diesel engine technology was very backward. Later, Bincheng Diesel Engine Factory introduced the technology of Swiss Sulzer diesel engine.

The Old District Diesel Engine Factory imported related diesel engine technology from France, and used it on surface ships, including the 054 frigate currently being manufactured, which uses the 16PA6V-280STC diesel engine from the Old District Diesel Engine Factory. This STC technology is still from Mingzhou Group. Helped out, the power of the diesel engine was greatly improved to meet the needs of the frigate. At the same time, Mingzhou Group also invested in the diesel engine factory in the old area and became a major shareholder.

  As for the largest diesel engine production plant in China, it must be the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory. This is one of the 156 key projects assisted by the Soviet Union during the first five-year plan. It is a national manufacturer of 150 series, high-power, high-speed diesel engines. .)

   At that time, after the country was opened, the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory also began to actively introduce foreign technology. The product they introduced was the famous MTU396 diesel engine.

At that time, the Germans also put forward a lot of conditions. For example, they asked how many units to buy first before talking about the import. They thought it would be difficult for the East. Unexpectedly, the domestic railway locomotives were being updated at that time, and the required diesel engines were imported. Quantity is not an issue at all, easily used on rail locomotives!

  After that, the Germans could only provide a full set of technical information for the 396 diesel engine in accordance with the agreement.

  However, MTU is very thieves. They only provide various materials and sizes, but they don’t provide craftsmanship. Want to imitate? Then study it yourself, craft? No amount of money is sold!

  The Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory has no way out, they must face the difficulties.

After all, this diesel engine and the MTU873 diesel engine used by tanks are products of the same era. If they want to imitate the engine used by this Leopard-2 tank, they must go all out. At the same time, this diesel engine is still the world's most The Best Selling Marine Diesel Engine! I don't know how many ships are equipped with this kind of power, especially submarines!

  For example, the 209 submarine of the German guy has two 396 diesel engines installed in it.

It also has great uses in China. Take Mingzhou Shipyard as an example. The first flagship product: 022 missile boats, which use 396 diesel engines. Now, the exported 039B foreign trade submarines also use three 396 diesel engine.

  Although this diesel engine is produced by the Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory, the key components are still imported. It is not that simple to achieve 100% localization, and there must be a long way to go.

   And Qin Tao wants to go to the coal province diesel engine factory with only one purpose: to use the technical strength of Mingzhou Group to help the 396 diesel engine to complete the localization faster, so as to avoid being controlled by others in the future!

  However, before Qin Tao, Xu Zhengyang and the others had left, someone blocked Qin Tao in an angry manner.

   "Mr. Qin, you actually use inferior products to fool us. This is an insult to us. We demand a refund! We also demand compensation for losses!"

  Xu Zhengyang looked at the people in front of him in surprise, and understood why Mr. Qin put forward strict demands on them at the defense exhibition. These guys are definitely a typical example of reneging on promises!

After participating in the launching ceremony, Mamish went back and left behind a group of people to participate in the sea trial project. Standing in front of Qin Tao at this time was the person in charge of the sea trial sent by the Pyramid Kingdom, the scheduled submarine captain. Ihab, the other person, is Abtrika who oversaw the construction here.

  The submarines have all started sea trials and have already been named. Now as long as the sea trials are completed, it is time to drive back. These guys actually said no, and they have to pay for the damage!

  MTU, as a supplier, is making trouble for them, and the people of Pyramid, as a customer, are also coming to make trouble. This is to attack together!

   Xu Zhengyang's face was gloomy, and he translated the other party's protest for Qin Tao, after all, Qin Tao couldn't understand Arabic.

Hearing the other party's protest, Qin Tao showed a surprised expression on his face: "We use inferior products to fool you? How is it possible? You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. We are good friends, so I don't I hope to take you to court for defamation."

"How can we slander!" Ihab said: "The most important power system on the submarine is the three sets of diesel generator sets. What we want are products from the German company MTU, but you actually provide us with your own diesel engines. !"

   "Really?" Qin Tao said: "Then let's open the contract and have a look. If we make a mistake, we can return the goods or even compensate you, but if you make a mistake, you need to apologize to us!"

  The contract was brought, and there were three thick folders in Chinese, Arabic, and French.

   "Come on, let's open the contract in French and find the relevant part about the engine." Qin Tao said: "Zhengyang, read it to them."

  Xu Zhengyang quickly opened the contract and read the corresponding pages.

   "For the power system, we use three 396 diesel engines authorized by the German MTU company, each with an output of 6,800 horsepower, to drive three twelve-phase generators..."

   Both Ihab and Abtrika were stunned, what, authorized production?

The 396 diesel engine is a masterpiece of MTU company. However, in order to earn more money, MTU company also authorizes the production of this diesel engine to other companies in the world. Therefore, as long as the word authorization is added to this contract, it means The place of origin does not have to be Germany, other countries are also fine!

  The products of Coal Province Diesel Engine Factory are one of them.

"Everyone, this is the French version of the contract, which is the most rigorous. Of course, you can also take a look at your Arabic version, and you can also see the word authorized." Qin Tao said: "We are completely acting in accordance with the contract , without any fraud."

   The two picked up the Arabic version of the contract with some annoyance. Sure enough, the words authorized production were also written in it.

  Damn it, how did this happen? Didn't those people pursue these details when they negotiated the contract?

   "No, there is a problem with this contract, we want MTU's products, your domestic production, the quality can't meet the requirements!" Ihab decided to mess around.

"Can't meet the requirements?" Qin Tao said with a meaningful smile in his eyes: "Since you said so, let's talk about it. I remember that the subject of the sea test yesterday was the maximum speed. Has it reached the design target? ?”

  These are all recorded, so you can’t just talk nonsense, Ihab can only nod: “That’s right, the design target has been reached.”

   "That is to say, our engine has already reached the predetermined power output, why can't it meet your requirements?"

Qin Tao looked at Abtrika again: "During the construction, you arranged special personnel to supervise, and all equipment installations were signed by Mr. Abtrika. His signature has legal effect Yes, all the signed documents have been recorded, including the installation of the engine. Therefore, we have no fault."

   Abtrika's expression changed.

   "Now, if you are messing around and want the original German diesel engine, it is entirely on your own initiative to tear up the contract. Therefore, our Mingzhou Group has the right to terminate this cooperation project. We will also refuse to deliver this submarine."

  The Pyramid Kingdom has already paid the money, and there is only a final balance of 10 million yuan left, which will be delivered when the submarine is driven away. Now, if they mess around, don't take the submarine.

  What compensation? At worst, we will go to the International Court of Justice to file a lawsuit for three to five years, ten or eight years, and our Mingzhou Group is not afraid.

   Both Ihab and Abtrika were stunned.

Regarding the contract, they really don’t know the details. One of them supervises the manufacturing and the other receives the goods. Neither of them was the person who negotiated the contract at the beginning. They just got the instruction of a certain military officer in the country and asked them to come to the Orientals. Trouble.

  If they could get a sum of compensation from the Orientals, wouldn't they be happy?

With this in mind, they came to Pengci, but they didn't expect that Mr. Qin would be more ruthless, we are right, if you continue to make trouble like this, then we will detain the submarine and let your 195,000 US dollars of funds For nothing!

The two were dumbfounded, and Qin Tao had already stood up: "Think about it clearly, whether you should go to court with us or apologize to us. I have something to do and I have to go out. During this period, the submarine will stop the sea trial project. You should think about it carefully." clear."

  Stop sea trials?

  The domestic navy can't wait to drive this submarine back! Although it is not a nuclear submarine, it can hide underwater for 20 days like a nuclear submarine!

  Now, they messed up their game. Not only did they fail to touch porcelain, but they also annoyed Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin became angry, and the consequences were serious!

  Qin Tao gave the two of them a big blow, and went to work on his own affairs.

   "Mr. Qin, why do they have the audacity to come to trouble us?" Xu Zhengyang drove Qin Tao to the airport while feeling emotional about what just happened.

   "There is a kind of people who have always been very thick-skinned. To do business with them, we have to be 12 points." Qin Tao said, Qin Tao didn't care much about the claim he was just being asked for.

   It was exactly as he expected.

  In the international arms business, the most shameless thing is the local chicken, who has the right and the wrong, and makes money out of the fire. The Pyramid Country can also be ranked in the top ten, how can Qin Tao not guard against it.

  International cooperation is like this.

  Xu Zhengyang nodded: "Boss Qin, what's their intention?"

"If the person behind the scenes is smart enough, they want to lower the price." Qin Tao said: "The price we export is not expensive at all. Next, we will find a few more customers. If they don't want to If we buy the second one, we will sell it directly to other customers to see if they are in a hurry."

other customers?

   "For example, several countries in South America have demand in this regard. If we have the opportunity in the future, we will go to promote it."

  Xu Zhengyang nodded.

   Purchased Varyag and Glory-class cruisers before and after, Qin Tao has been in the country almost all the time, and hasn't been out for a long time. For a person who is used to wandering outside, of course he must find a way to open up more markets.
