East China Sea Ship Design Institute.

Yang Fan was returning from the weapon system design room. As soon as he entered the office, he didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea when the phone rang on his desk.

After the phone call, Chief Secretary Pan's voice came from the inside: "Xiao Yang, come here."

Yang Fan originally thought Chief Executive Pan would ask about the design and development of the missile vertical launch system, but after pushing the door in, he felt something was wrong.

Chief Secretary Pan's face was very serious.

What's going on?

Is something bad happened???

Yang Fan had a big question mark in his mind, and he calmly found a chair and sat down, preparing to listen to what Chief Executive Pan said first.

Pan Jinfu glanced at Yang Fan and said in a deep voice: "A big thing happened. The United States is very likely to stop supplying our LM2500 gas turbine."

What!

Yang Fan was shocked!

This news is so shocking!!!

It's too sudden.

At the beginning, in order to prevent such a situation from happening, Yang Fan made suggestions when he was still a designer that the possibility of the lm2500 gas turbine supply interruption must be considered in the future.

This suggestion was opposed by many people at the time, and many people believed that this situation would basically not happen, thinking that it was a worry.

Fortunately, Chief Commander Pan adopted this suggestion and proposed it as Chief Designer of the 052 ship. Finally, the General Command adopted the suggestion. In order to prevent this situation, he signed a contract with the Americans to order a total of eight lm2500 gas turbines.

Unexpectedly, things happened!

After only four LM2500 gas turbines were delivered, we were waiting for the fifth and six gas turbines to be delivered, and this happened.

Suddenly, Yang Fan's face turned extremely solemn, and he asked: "Chief Teacher Pan, how likely is this?"

Pan Jinfu sighed softly, "General Electric sent an email and unilaterally tore up the contract. We are unwilling to accept it. The General Command held a meeting overnight last night and sent a team to the United States early this morning, hoping to make some money back."

Gradually, Yang Fan's heart sank to the bottom.

Based on his understanding of Americans, it is probably a waste of time to continue introducing the lm2500 gas turbine, and maybe he has to make the worst plan.

What is the worst plan?

Yang Fan didn't have any confidence in his heart, because we don't have any ship-purpose gas turbines at all, and it is impossible to produce them in China.

The atmosphere suddenly became dull.

After a brief chat, Yang Fan took a tactful look at Chief Executive Pan in a bad mood, and even did not report on the design of the missile vertical launch system.

Back at his office, Yang Fan sat on the office chair in great depression and sighed a long time. At this time, he could only pray, hoping that things would have room to recover.

If the offer is really cut off completely, the situation will be very bad.

.........

USA.

As the team leader, Dai Wei has brought everyone to the headquarters of General Motors, hoping to meet the president of their Aero Engine Division.

But after being turned away, only one small supervisor received them.

For three consecutive days, Dai Wei and others encountered walls everywhere and suffered all the bird's energy, but for the sake of the lm2500 gas turbine, they could only lower their grip and endure everything silently.

Three days later, a manager-level person finally met them. The manager clearly informed that the contract between the two parties was completely terminated from now on and that GE would not supply subsequent gas turbines.

Dai Wei disagreed. In order to win the gas turbines behind, he tried a lot of good things and said, but the other party shook his head and made it clear that there was no possibility of supplying the lm2500 gas turbine to us.

After repeated questioning from us, the manager finally explained the reason. They were forced to do so under pressure from the US military.

I see!

Finally, I knew the reason why the other party stopped offering.

It turns out that there is a shadow of the US military behind it. Dai Wei speculated that 80% of the US military people saw that our Type 052 missile destroyer project was progressing smoothly, and they did not want to see this situation.

Since it is no longer possible to supply the lm2500 gas turbine again, can we promise to gradually transfer the technology of the lm2500 gas turbine so that we can obtain the ability to imitate the lm2500 gas turbine?

This request was immediately rejected, and the American manager directly told Dai Wei and others that there was no such possibility.

Since we cannot obtain technology transfer, let’s take a step back and the four lm2500 gas turbines we have purchased will provide subsequent overhaul services by General Electric. This is OK.

The things were bought from you at a high price, so after-sales service should be provided.

What disappointed everyone was that the American manager shook his head and rejected the request. Not only did he say that he would not only not provide future overhaul services, but they would not supply any subsequent parts that would need to be replaced.

This completely cuts off hope.

Dai Wei and his group were cold-eyed in the United States, and were humble, but they did not gain anything. A few days later, they returned to the capital in a dilemma.

What!

No harvest of particles!

Americans are doing so amazingly that they do not even provide after-sales service for the four gas turbines we already have. They will not care about future overhauls and replacement of spare parts.

In this way, the contract was unilaterally tore up.

Not only the leaders of the 052 ship headquarters, but also the leaders of the navy were shocked. Everyone never expected such a result.

When Dai Wei and others were sent to the United States, everyone's bottom line was that if Americans could no longer supply subsequent gas turbines, the four existing gas turbines Americans would definitely provide a series of after-sales services. However, they didn't expect that they didn't have them.

In the General Command Building, there was another brightly lit emergency meeting. The leaders anxiously discussed countermeasures, and even some leaders of the Navy attended such a meeting in person.

East China Sea Ship Design Institute.

Since hearing Pan Jinfu say a few days ago that the supply of the LM2500 gas turbine may be cut off, Yang Fan has been hanging his heart and full of worry.

Unexpectedly, the rapid development of things was far beyond Yang Fan's expectations. He called from the capital and asked chief designer Pan Jinfu and others to rush to the capital for a meeting.

I dare not take any slightest neglect, and I dare not delay at all.

Chief designer Pan Jinfu, deputy chief designer Tang Jianming, chief designer assistant Yang Fan and others immediately rushed to Donghai Airport and prepared to take a plane to Beijing.

While waiting for the plane in the waiting hall, I happened to meet Lu Guodong, Chen Shaohua and others from the Donghai Shipyard. Such a big thing happened, as the leaders of the shipyard, they also had to go to Beijing for a meeting, and everyone discussed what to do next.

Whether it was Lu Guodong or Chen Shaohua's faces were full of worry and anxiety, when both parties met, they felt the heavy feeling of each other.

"Oh, I didn't expect something like this."

"Yes, Americans are too distrustful. If you sign a contract, you can tear it apart anyway."

“……”

In addition to being in a heavy mood, everyone was also angry and very angry about the Americans' actions.

Yang Fan didn't say anything, but just sighed softly, thinking helplessly, our domestic industrial strength is still a little weak. If we could build a ship-purpose gas turbine ourselves, how could we get rid of this kind of bird's energy?

well......

Apart from sighing, no one has any good ideas. Chen Shaohua is even worried about the No. 2 ship being built.

While worried, he asked, "Old Pan, the LM2500 gas turbine is out of supply. What should we do if the No. 2 ship we are building?"

Facing Chen Shaohua full of worry, Pan Jinfu couldn't say anything, but just smiled bitterly.

Chen Shaoshao said loudly: "We won't stop building, we have produced a lot of things and have entered the stage of shipbuilding construction!"

Everyone sighed.

Ship 2 is really at risk of being stopped because there is no gas turbine. If the No. 3 and 4 gas turbines are used on Ship 2 and there is no backup gas turbine, what if there is a problem with the power system in the future?

The atmosphere became dull.

No one said anything else. Even Chen Shaohua himself became silent. When he boarded the plane, everyone was bored to board the plane, and they didn't even talk or laugh with acquaintances like usual.

It was already afternoon when I arrived in the capital.

But time was tight and there was no time to rest. After checking in the hotel, I went to have a meal after putting my luggage. There was basically no rest after the meal. Everyone entered the headquarters of the 052 ship.

Tonight, the entire headquarters was brightly lit again.

Even the air seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere.

There have been many seats in the huge conference room, not only people from the headquarters, military personnel, but also people from the design unit Donghai Institute, construction unit Donghai Shipyard, and other people.

There were dozens of people sitting in the conference room, but some people were rushing over one after another. Gradually, the huge conference room was almost full.

The atmosphere is very dull.

There was no noise as before the meeting, except for a few whispering few words, most of them looked extremely serious.

It's exactly eight o'clock in the evening.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the conference room door, and the commander-in-chief Huang Keping, the director of the Military Industry Bureau Li Shunli, several military leaders, and everyone walked into the conference room.

After everyone sat down, the meeting began immediately, chaired by Commander-in-Chief Huang Keping.

He looked around the entire conference room, and then said in a low tone: "Comrades, everyone should have basically known the situation. I will not introduce it anymore. I will call you all here today to discuss what we should do next."

The lm2500 gas turbine is shut down.

Ship 2 has begun construction of ship platform.

What should we do?

Chapter completed!
