MTL - Warship of Great Power-Chapter 709 East China Sea-10
Back then, the war was going on cruelly. Lao Ba's Jihad submarine was attracted by Ah San's fishing tactics to the side of the aircraft carrier. Before launching the attack, it was sunk by anti-submarine deep bombs. The Pakistani navy did not flinch. They dispatched their last Laurel-class submarine, the Hangor, which was capable of combat, out of the port and onto the battlefield.
As a result, the combat experience of the Hangoer shocked the whole world. Under the command of the captain, Colonel Tasnim, it bravely sneaked into Ah San's military port, and really lurked for five days. The situation at the port was fully understood, and a telegram was sent back. The Asan Navy immediately dispatched two anti-submarine frigates to search for the submarine, but who would have thought that instead of escaping, the Laoba submarine in adversity 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 a desperate situation. Everyone thought they were going to die for their country.
As a result, Ah San's navy once again made a showy operation, but instead exposed its target. The Han Guoer found an opportunity and fired three torpedoes. Now there is no need to worry about misfiring, and they all hit the Kukri. This ship is unlucky The warship exploded on the spot and the ship sank.
The warship that escaped by chance for the first time saw that its companion was attacked, and turned pale with fright, and fled shamefully. As a result, the Han Guoer took advantage of the victory to pursue and severely damaged the warship.
The brilliant record made Asan completely annoyed, and sent a large number of warships and anti-submarine aircraft to encircle and suppress the Han Guoer. During the 72-hour pursuit, they dropped hundreds of anti-submarine bombs, but the Han Guoer remained unscathed , retreated completely, and wrote a brilliant record for modern submarine warfare.
Now, Laoba wants to name the newly ordered submarine the Hangoer class, which has a deep meaning. They want to make this brand new submarine brilliant again. Since it can touch the aircraft carrier in the US aircraft carrier formation without noticing Go forward and then float up, then, dealing with Ah San's aircraft carrier formation will be a piece of cake!
Hearing Mahmoud say the name, Qin Tao nodded: "Yes, we also expect this submarine to write the glory of your navy again! Now, we can discuss some specific content, for example, this submarine As for the submarine 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 the export of Dongfang's submarines. However, Dongfang immediately used its own products on top, completely crushing this conspiracy.
Now, Dongfang wants to sell submarines, whether they are imported or domestic, it can be used, it depends on the customer's choice.
"The submarine used by the Pyramid country, what kind of engine is installed on it?"
"Imported MTU engines, however, our own production is not bad, you still have to choose according to your own budget, as for if you want to respond to Ah San's reaction, thus incurring sanctions from the international community, we can also pass 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 Western ban still exists, but no one takes this seriously, and the most important thing is to make money.
If they don't export, Dongfang can still use its own diesel engines. Now Laoba may face external sanctions, but Mingzhou Group has always been their good friend.
Of course, this is just the worst plan. Now the Americans are still stationed in Laoba’s territory, using Laoba as a base to attack the enemies in the imperial cemetery. Do they dare to offend Laoba with great fanfare 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, we can also use your production for the submarine we will build later. engine."
Money is a good thing, and they should save money where they should. It would be even better if they could get US military aid.
Thinking of this, Mahmoud said with some concern: "Mr. Qin, there may be some problems with our funds."
Eight submarines, even if they were given the best price, 300 million US dollars each, this is a big deal with a total amount of more than 2 billion, and the old bus can't make up so much money for the time being.
"If your funds are insufficient, we can provide low-interest loans." Qin Tao said: "In order to help my Pakistan Railway acquire modern submarines, we are duty-bound!"
A warm current surged in Mahmoud's heart, and the loan should also help his side realize the rapid development of underwater power. Dongfang is indeed his best friend!
"Thank you, Mr. Qin!" Mahmoud raised his glass and drank the apple juice inside.
The sale was completed in this way. The sale of eight submarines at one time is absolutely unprecedented. This also shows that Mingzhou Group has embarked on a new journey in the export of warships and submarines.
After the banquet was over, Zhao Ling and Qin Tao went upstairs to the presidential suite where they usually lived, and Zhao Ling said worriedly: "Now our production is even more intense."
"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 piece of land for the shipyard, or change another place?" ?”
"Brother Tao, there is a 432 shipyard in our country. When it was first established, it was built for the purpose of building submarines. Within ten years, three 033 submarines were built. Should we buy that shipyard so that we can start construction directly?" There are submarines, and the factory buildings are ready-made."
"The one who built the submarine in the mountain?" Qin Tao shook his head: "No, we can't move our submarine production base there. It's inconvenient to transport all kinds of materials, and more importantly, who can bear it now? Live lonely, stay in the mountains, who doesn't like big cities?"
In the past era, there was a vigorous third-line construction. The 432 shipyard was built in that era. The submarines that were built had to be dragged out by cars before they could reach the Yangtze River and then go down the river.
If your side annexes that shipyard, the price of the merger will be cheap, but the future operation will definitely be very expensive. More importantly, who wants to go to Dashan?
Zhao Ling nodded, knowing that what Qin Tao said was right. It is no longer possible to rely on spiritual strength to motivate the workers, but to provide the workers with the most favorable conditions.
"Actually, many domestic submarines are built in the Yangtze River Basin. The largest of them is Wuchang Shipyard. When 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. At the time when Lao Maozi’s 877 submarine was purchased domestically, he went to Lao Maozi’s inland shipyard. The price has come, including the most important plate rolling machine. Although Mingzhou Group can already manufacture advanced CNC plate rolling machines, it has to thank Lao Maozi for his "selfless" support when he was able to start building submarines.
Wuchang Shipyard in China is very close to Wuhan. It is the most important submarine shipyard. That section of the route can sail a cargo ship of 5,000 tons of stewed chicken, and of course it can also drive a diesel-electric submarine of 2,000 to 3,000 tons.
Moreover, although Wuchang is inland, it is close to Wuhan, so it is considered a pretty good city.
Qin Tao thought about it seriously: "We can take the time to go to Wuchang to have a look. If the old bus needs a tight construction schedule, we can build two ships there."
Factory 432 can be merged, but it is not easy for Wuchang Shipyard. Mergers and acquisitions should not be rushed, but the order can be transferred first, and it will definitely be welcomed there.
Since the Mingzhou Group started to build 039 submarines, the orders for submarines there have dropped sharply. Now that Qin Tao is sharing the profits with them, they will of course be excited to accept it.
"Yes." Zhao Ling nodded, and then continued: "You already know about Ah San's actions 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 expected Zhao Ling to say something he didn't believe. Who would have thought that Zhao Ling nodded: "I believe it."
Now it was Qin Tao's turn to be dumb, and he could only continue to smile and say, "How would I know. It just means we are lucky."
Of course Qin Tao knew about the major events that happened in 1998, but since he came to this world, a few **** of the butterfly's wings could trigger a storm in the Pacific Ocean. Who knows if what should have happened will happen again.
Now it seems that there is no big problem.
Qin Tao quickly changed the subject: "The next step is to imitate the Tomahawk missile. I think we can do this by 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 the 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 surveying and mapping imitation engine, we can also put it in Genghis Khan Aviation."
The technology of cruise missiles is similar to that of airplanes. In fact, the appearance of early cruise missiles looked like a small airplane, and even the first generation of anti-ship missiles were produced by aircraft factories.
At present, there is no relevant organization 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 pull up the domestic cruise missiles.
Genghis Khan Aviation produces small-thrust engines. It is not difficult to make a smaller engine now. In fact, the engine of the Tomahawk missile does not need too high technology. What is needed is an ingenious design and a service life of dozens of hours. There is no problem with domestic imitation of domestic engines. After all, one of the shortcomings of domestic engines is that the engine life is short. For cruise missiles, the fear is that the life span is too long.
"Give it to our stealth machine research and development team, will it be a bit overkill?"
"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "It is the most appropriate to leave it to them, because we not only want to survey and map imitation, but also improve it. We will launch a stealth version of the cruise missile in the future."
Qin Tao wants to push the stealth performance to the extreme, not only have a stealth aircraft, but also have a stealth cruise missile!
However, Zhao Ling could immediately understand Qin Tao's meaning: 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, among other things, let’s take the country as an example. In recent years, new three-strikes and three-defenses have been implemented, one of which is cruise missiles.
Flying at ultra-low altitude is not foolproof. If you have an early warning aircraft in the sky, you can easily find the cruise missile. If you have a stealth cruise missile, it will obviously be of great benefit.
I don’t have to worry too much, Brother Tao’s arrangements must be thoughtful.
With this thought in mind, Zhao Ling put down her work.
Tired all day, 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 water resources."
It was supposed to be economical, but the water in the last bathtub was flushed out for half a bathtub. Not only did it not save water, but it also cost a lot of water.
The next day, after seeing off Lao Ba and his party, Qin Tao planned to arrange for submarine production and cruise missile research and development. However, before he left, 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 there? I have something urgent to find him." Liu Yong said.
Obviously he rushed over overnight, because he didn't rest well, his eyes were bloodshot.
"I haven't left yet, but Mr. Qin is leaving soon. Do you have anything important to do?"
"Yes, it is very important. It is related to the development of our Donghai-10 project." Liu Yong said.
"Okay, can you chat with President Qin on the road?"
"On the way? Yes." 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, and for a long distance, he does not take the high-speed rail, but takes his own car. Why is this?
Of course, you can also handle official business on the road! It’s inconvenient to drive or take the high-speed rail. When on the road, the boss has to deal with various things, listen to the secretary’s report on work, negotiate with other customers, etc., all of which can be resolved on the road.
Now, Qin Tao is sitting in his own stretched red flag car, driven by Xu Zhengyang in the front, accompanied by Zhao Ling in the back, and talking to Liu Yong who is sitting opposite.
(There are always people who say that the protagonist rides a Mercedes-Benz big G is not enough style, well, let’s replace it with an extended red flag, this kind of car is not something ordinary people can afford.)
"Director Liu, I heard that Xiaoling 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 engineer of the project, and now he is the second in command of Mingzhou Group. It is gold and will shine wherever it goes." Liu Yong said.
"Well, I think so too." Qin Tao was not modest, and exchanged some pleasantries, and finally got to the point: "Director Liu, is there something important for you to come to me in such a hurry?"
"Mr. Qin, I heard that the old bus has several Tomahawk cruise missile wreckage, and wants to exchange it with Mingzhou Group. We would like to ask you to give us some of the wreckage." Liu Yong said.
"You guys? What project do you have? Longsword-10?"
After all, Qin Tao is a shipbuilder, so he is very familiar with carrier-based aircraft, but he is still lacking in other things, especially cruise missiles for land attacks. He only knows Longjian-10, then Longjian-100, and then Longjian-100. Long Sword-1000, but Donghai-10, he has never heard of it.
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 did you hear the name Changjian-10?" Liu Yong was a little curious: "When this missile was originally developed, it was intended to equip our shore-to-ship missile force. , it will play the greatest role in a possible war, so it is named Donghai-10, but in the past few years, the requirements of the superiors have changed, and our missiles should be changed to medium and long-range ground precision strikes."
Qin Tao finally realized that it is still Long Sword -10, but the name has not been changed yet! No wonder in my impression, the research and development of the cruise missile project in China has not yet started. In many third-rate media, the research and development of domestic cruise missiles began in 1999, because in a humiliating incident that year, I got a cruise missile that has not yet been launched. Exploding tomahawk.
However, this is of course impossible. In fact, the research and development of this cruise missile began in the early 1990s, and the life assessment of the engine had already begun in 1999, and it flew for the first time in 2001.
However, Qin Tao really ignored it, and only now realized that there is already a professional cruise missile research and development unit in China. Liu Yong in front of him is the chief designer of this project!
Of course, this is also because the domestic secrecy work is too good, and outsiders don't know the existence of this project.
so what? How should I choose?
Zhao Ling didn't speak, but just looked at Qin Tao's handsome face. Now Qin Tao is only in his thirties, which is the age when a man is most attractive to women. He is not only handsome, but also calm and decisive.
"President Qin, is there any difficulty?" Liu Yong asked curiously: "You should also know that over the years, Tomahawk cruise missiles have gained the limelight in every war, and this weapon has become an advanced military equipment. Zhang Zhong said that it is used to kick other people's doors. Our motherland must also have this kind of missile. Moreover, after we have it, we can equip the navy. The navy definitely needs this kind of cruise missile, whether it is a warship or a submarine. .”
"Yes, the navy also has needs, and the old bus also has needs. I have already agreed to the old bus. We want to conduct joint research and development with the old bus. Our Mingzhou Group will contribute funds, and the old bus will produce the wreckage. We will form a design unit together. After the research and development Technology sharing, Laoba will also build a production line in their country. So, Director Liu, we..."
Qin Tao really didn't expect that domestic aerospace agencies are also engaged in this kind of thing, not as many as the Third Academy of Aerospace Sciences!
