At that time, the war was going on cruelly. Lao Ba's submarine Jihad was attracted to the aircraft carrier by Ah San's fishing tactics. Before launching the attack, it was sunk by anti-submarine depth bombs. All members died for the country. In this most difficult time, Lao Ba The Pakistani Navy did not back down. They dispatched their last combat-capable Laurel Goddess-class submarine, the Hangol, out of the port and embarked on the battlefield. They already had the firm belief that there would be no return.

As a result, the battle experience of the Hangol shocked the whole world. Under the command of the captain, Colonel Tasnim, it bravely got into Asan's military port, and actually lurked for five days, killing Asan. The situation at the port was completely understood and a telegram was sent back. The Asan Navy immediately dispatched two anti-submarine frigates to search for the submarine. However, who would have thought that the Laoba submarine in adversity not only did not escape, but hid on the bottom of the sea. , looking for an opportunity to launch a torpedo at one of them, but unfortunately the torpedo was a rotten egg, the attack failed, and the submarine was once again in dire straits. Everyone thought they were going to die for their country.

As a result, Asan's navy once again made a show of maneuvers, but instead exposed its target. The Han Guoer found the opportunity and launched three torpedoes. Now there was no need to worry about misfires. They all hit the Kukri. This unlucky ship The warship exploded on the spot and sank.

The warship that had a chance to escape for the first time saw its companions being attacked. It was frightened and ran away shamefully. As a result, the warship was pursued victoriously by the Hangol, which severely damaged the warship.

The brilliant record made Ah San completely annoyed. He sent a large number of warships and anti-submarine aircraft to encircle and suppress the Hangor. During the 72-hour pursuit, they dropped hundreds of anti-submarine bombs, but the Hangor remained unscathed. , escaped unscathed, and wrote a brilliant record for modern submarine warfare.

Now, Lao Ba wants to name the newly ordered submarine the Hangol class, which has profound meaning. They want to make this brand new submarine write glory again. Since it can touch the aircraft carrier without noticing in the US aircraft carrier formation, If we approach and then surface, then it will be a piece of cake to deal with Asan's aircraft carrier formation!

Hearing Mahmoud say the name, Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we also look forward to this submarine once again writing the glory of your navy! Now, we can discuss some specific contents, for example, this submarine For the submarine’s engine, do you want the MTU diesel engine imported from Germany, or the diesel engine produced by us?”

When exporting submarines to the outside world, some conspirators cut off the supply of MTU diesel engines in order to curb Dongfang's submarine exports. However, Dongfang immediately used their own products to replace them, completely shattering the conspiracy.

 Now, if Dongfang wants to sell submarines, whether they are imported or domestic, it depends on the customer's choice.

“What kind of engine is installed on the submarine used by the Pyramid State?”

"Imported MTU engines, but the ones we produce ourselves are not bad either. You should choose based on your own budget. As for if you want to respond to Ah San's reaction and incur sanctions from the international community, we can also pass There are other ways to solve it.”

Even if MTU diesel engines are imported from the East, they are imported in the name of civilian use. The ban in the West still exists, but no one takes this seriously. Making money is still the most important thing.

 If they don’t export, Dongfang can still use its own diesel engines. Now Lao Ba may face sanctions from the outside world, but Mingzhou Group has always been their good friend.

Of course, this is just the worst plan. The Americans are still stationed in Laoba and use Laoba as a base to attack the enemies in the Imperial Cemetery. Do they dare to offend Laoba in a big way at this time?

"Well, we will use the imported MTU engine." Mahmoud said: "We will also inspect your engine. If it can reach the same level as the original engine, the submarines we build in the future can also use your engine. engine."

Money is a good thing, and they should save money wherever they should. It would be better if they could get military aid from the United States.

Thinking of this, Mahmoud said with some worry: "Mr. Qin, we may have some problems with our funds."

 Eight submarines, even if we give them the best price, each of 300 million U.S. dollars, this is a big deal with a total amount of more than 2 billion, and Lao Ba will not be able to raise that much money for the time being.

"If you have insufficient funds, we can provide low-interest loans." Qin Tao said: "In order to help my Pakistan Railway obtain modern submarines, we are duty-bound!"

A warm current surged in Mahmoud's heart. The loan should also help his side achieve a rapid development of underwater power. The East is indeed his best friend!

 “Thank you, Mr. Qin!” Mahmoud raised his glass and drank the apple juice in one gulp.

The sale was completed in this way. It was absolutely unprecedented to sell eight submarines at one time. This also shows that Mingzhou Group has embarked on a new journey in exporting warships and submarines.

 When the banquet was over, Zhao Ling and Qin Tao went upstairs to the presidential suite where they usually lived, and Zhao Ling said with some worry: "Our production is even more tense now."

"Yes, it seems that the construction of our third shipyard is imminent." Qin Tao nodded: "Should we continue to spread the pie in Mingzhou and build another land for the shipyard, or should we change the location? ?”

"Brother Tao, we have a 432 shipyard in China. When it was first established, it was for building submarines. Three 033 submarines were built within ten years. Should we buy that shipyard so that we can start building it directly? There are submarines, and the factories are all ready.”

"The one who builds submarines in the mountains?" Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we can't move our submarine production base there. It will be inconvenient to transport various materials. More importantly, who can bear it now? Live in solitude and stay in the mountains, who doesn’t like big cities?”

 In the past era, vigorous third-line construction was launched. The 432 Shipyard was built in that era. The submarines that were built had to be towed out by vehicles before they could reach the Yangtze River and then flow down the river.

If our side annexes that shipyard, the acquisition price will be cheap, but future operations will definitely be very expensive. More importantly, who is willing to go to Dashan?

 Zhao Ling nodded, knowing that Qin Tao was right. Now we can no longer rely on spiritual power to encourage workers, we must provide them with the best conditions.

“In fact, many domestic submarine constructions are in the Yangtze River Basin, the largest of which is Wuchang Shipyard. When our Mingzhou Group was not involved in the submarine construction business, a large number of 033 submarines were being built there.” Zhao Ling continued.

Lao Maozi likes to build diesel-electric submarines at the inland Jianghe Shipyard. When Lao Maozi's 877 submarine was purchased domestically, he went to Lao Maozi's inland shipyard. At that time, Qin Tao deceived the other party's equipment. The price has been obtained, including the most important plate rolling machine. Although Mingzhou Group can now manufacture advanced CNC plate rolling machines, it was only possible to start building submarines thanks to Lao Maozi's "selfless" support.

The Wuchang Shipyard in China is very close to Wuhan. It is the most important submarine shipyard. That section of the route can sail cargo ships with a capacity of 5,000 stewed chickens. Of course, it can also operate diesel-electric submarines of 2,000 to 3,000 tons.

Furthermore, although Wuchang is inland, it is close to Wuhan and can be considered a good city.

Qin Tao thought about it seriously: "We can take the time to go to Wuchang and have a look. If Lao Ba's construction schedule is tight, we can build two ships there."

The 432 shipyard can be merged, but it is not easy for Wuchang Shipyard of this level. You can't rush the merger and acquisition, but you can transfer the order first, and it will definitely be welcomed there.

Since Mingzhou Group started building 039 submarines, the submarine orders there have begun to decrease sharply. Now that Qin Tao is sharing the profits with them, of course they will accept it excitedly.

"Yeah." Zhao Ling nodded, and then continued: "Have you already known what Asan did today?"

Qin Tao smiled: "I want to say that I have the ability to predict the future. Do you believe it?"

This sentence was a joke. He was expecting Zhao Ling to say something he didn't believe. Who would have thought that Zhao Ling actually nodded: "I believe it."

This time it was Qin Tao's turn to be speechless. He could only continue to smile and say: "How do I know? It just means we are lucky."

Of course Qin Tao knows about the major events that happened in 1998, but now that he has come to this world, a few **** of butterfly wings may cause a storm in the Pacific Ocean. Who knows whether what should happen will happen again.

 At present, it seems that there is no big problem.

Qin Tao quickly changed the subject: "The next step is to imitate Tomahawk missiles. I think we can do this ourselves."

Own? Zhao Ling opened her eyes wide.

"The research and development tasks can be handed over to our stealth aircraft research and development team. In terms of production, we already have Shuangyang Factory, which produces stealth fighter jets. However, we can open a new production line in this factory to produce cruise missiles." Qin Tao said: "As for the mapping of the imitation engine, we can also put it in Tianjiao Airlines."

The technology of cruise missiles is similar to that of aircraft. In fact, the early cruise missiles looked like a small aircraft. Even the first-generation anti-ship missiles were produced by aircraft factories.

 At present, there are no relevant institutions in China to develop professional cruise missiles. The existing cruise missiles are all modified on the basis of anti-ship missiles. Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can just use this opportunity to promote domestically produced cruise missiles.

Tianjiao Aviation produces small thrust engines. Now it is not difficult to build a smaller engine. In fact, the engine of the Tomahawk missile does not require high technology, but an ingenious design with a lifespan of dozens of hours. There is no problem with domestic imitation of engines. After all, one of the shortcomings of domestic engines is the short engine life. Cruise missiles are afraid of too long life.

“Would it be overkill if left to our stealth machine research and development team?”

"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "It is most appropriate to leave it to them, because we not only need to map and copy it, but also improve it. In the future, we will launch a stealth version of the cruise missile."

Qin Tao wants to push the stealth performance to the extreme, not only to have stealth aircraft, but also to have stealth cruise missiles!

However, Zhao Ling could immediately understand what Qin Tao meant: Cruise missiles rely on the concealment of ultra-low-altitude flight to strike the enemy suddenly. However, with the continuous development of technology, the penetration capabilities of cruise missiles are also constantly improving. Decline, if nothing else, take China as an example. In recent years, we have been engaged in new three-attack and three-defence strategies, one of which is cruise missiles.

Ultra-low-altitude flight is not foolproof. If there are early warning aircraft in the sky, cruise missiles can be easily found. If a cruise missile that can be stealth is developed, it will obviously be of great benefit.

 You don’t have to worry too much, Brother Tao’s arrangements must be thoughtful.

With this thought, Zhao Ling put down her work matters.

 After a tiring day and sweating all over, it’s time to take a shower.

 “I’m going to take a shower.”

 “I’ll go too, let’s wash together.”

"What?"

 “Water resources are so precious, we have to save them.”

Originally it was a saving, but the water in the last bathtub was pumped out to fill half the bathtub. Not only did it not save water, it also consumed a lot of water.

The next day, after seeing off Lao Ba and his party, Qin Tao planned to arrange the production of submarines and the development of cruise missiles. However, before he could leave, a new guest had already arrived.

“Director Liu?” Zhao Ling recognized the visiting guest at a glance: Liu Yong, deputy director of the Science and Technology Committee of the Third Aerospace Academy!

“Well, Secretary Zhao, is Mr. Qin here? I have something urgent to ask him,” Liu Yong said.

 Obviously he came here overnight because he had not had a good rest and his eyes were bloodshot.

"I haven't left yet, but Mr. Qin will leave soon. Do you have anything important to do?"

“Yes, it is very important and is related to the development of our Donghai-10 project.” Liu Yong said.

“Okay, can you chat with Mr. Qin on the way?”

 “On the way? Okay.” Liu Yong nodded.

The boss of the company definitely needs a driver. Even if it is a short distance, he still needs a driver to pick him up. For a long distance, he does not take the high-speed rail, but his own car. Why is this?

 Of course you can also handle official business on the road! It is inconvenient if you drive or take the high-speed rail. When you are on the road, the boss has to deal with various things, listen to the secretary's work report, negotiate with other customers, etc., all of which can be solved on the road.

Now, Qin Tao is sitting in his extended Hongqi car, with Xu Zhengyang driving in the front and Zhao Ling accompanying him in the back. He is talking to Liu Yong who is sitting opposite.

(There are always people who say that the protagonist’s Mercedes-Benz G is not stylish enough. Well, let’s switch to an extended Hongqi. This kind of car is not affordable for ordinary people.)

“Director Liu, I heard that Xiaoling has worked under your leadership before. Thank you for your concern and care for her.” Qin Tao said.

"Mr. Qin, this is what it should be. Moreover, Secretary Zhao is also very capable. He has become the chief project engineer and now the second-in-command of the Mingzhou Group. He is gold and will shine wherever he goes." Liu Yong said.

"Well, I think so." Qin Tao was not modest, and after a few more pleasantries, he finally got to the point: "Director Liu, do you have anything important to do when you came to see me in such a hurry?"

"Mr. Qin, I heard that Lao Ba has several Tomahawk cruise missile wreckage and wants to exchange them with Mingzhou Group. We would like to ask you to hand over some of the wreckage to us." Liu Yong said.

 “You? What projects do you have? Long Sword-10?”

After all, Qin Tao is a shipbuilder and is familiar with carrier-based aircraft, but there are still deficiencies in other aspects, especially cruise missiles for land attacks. He only knows the Changjian-10, then the Changjian-100, and then the The long sword is -1000, but he has never heard of Donghai -10.

 At this time, when he heard Liu Yong's words, he immediately thought of Long Sword-10.

"No, it's Donghai-10. Mr. Qin, where have you heard of the name Changjian-10?" Liu Yong was a little curious: "When this missile was first developed, it was intended to be equipped with our shore-to-ship missile force. , to play the greatest role in a possible war, so it is named Donghai-10. However, in the past few years, the requirements of our superiors have changed, and our missile should be changed to medium and long-range precision strikes on the ground."

  Qin Tao then realized that it was still Long Sword -10, but the name had not been changed yet! No wonder in my own mind, domestic cruise missile research and development has not yet begun. According to many third-rate media, domestic cruise missile research and development began in 1999, because in a humiliating incident that year, one was obtained and not yet available. Exploding battle axe.

 But, of course, this is impossible. In fact, this cruise missile began to be developed in the early 1990s. In 1999, the engine life test was started, and it made its first flight in 2001.

However, Qin Tao really ignored it. Only now did he realize that there are already professional cruise missile research and development units in China. Liu Yong in front of me is the chief designer of this project!

Of course, this is also because the domestic confidentiality work is so good that outsiders don’t know the existence of this project.

so what? How should I choose?

Zhao Ling did not speak, but just looked at Qin Tao's handsome face. Qin Tao is only in his thirties now, which is the age when a man is most attractive to women. He is not only handsome, but also calm and decisive.

"Mr. Qin, are you having any difficulties?" Liu Yong asked curiously: "You should also know that over the years, the Tomahawk cruise missile has dominated every war. This weapon has become an advanced military equipment. Zhang Zhong’s words are used to kick other people’s doors in. Our motherland must also have this kind of missile. Moreover, after having it, we can also equip the navy. The navy will definitely need this kind of cruise missile, whether it is a warship or a submarine. .”

"Yes, the Navy also has needs, and Lao Ba also has needs. I have promised Lao Ba that we will jointly conduct research and development with Lao Ba. Our Mingzhou Group will provide the funds, Lao Ba will provide the wreckage, and we will form a design unit together. After the research and development is completed, To share technology, Laoba will also build a production line in their country. So, Director Liu, we..."

Qin Tao really didn’t expect that domestic aerospace agencies were also engaged in this kind of thing, and he didn’t count the Third Aerospace Academy!
