Chapter 1180 such a prospect
Fan Wubing did not tell the truth to Luo Lin. In fact, this time Putin has put in some effort to obtain Chinese understanding and obtain Fan Wubing's financial support.
Although the open cooperation cannot be too out of line, private technology transfer is the highlight, with a total of more than 200 technical information that are very interested in in China, covering sensitive technical information from multiple industries. Through Fan Wubing's hands, they were gathered together.
Therefore, after Fan Wubing returned on a private plane, the first thing he did was to go home first, back up a copy of the information, and then call his father Fan Heng and asked him to say hello to Boss Zhu and the others, saying that the matter had been done, and now some good things were given to them as New Year's gifts.
Since even Fan Wubing said it was a good thing, the senior management naturally understood it, so they sent a guard platoon to receive the information. However, they didn't expect that Fan Wubing brought back this time directly a bunch of CDs filled with information, with hundreds of them in total. The guards carefully packed these treasures, and then called a high-end bulletproof car to come over. The items were packed and moved up, and then left. 2/5/5/2/./n/e/t
After Fan Wubing came back, he asked Fan Wubing curiously, "What did you bring back? I could not close the experts with joy?"
"There are everything, mainly sensitive technical data. Although it is not necessarily top-notch, with these technical data, it is very beneficial for us to understand Russia's military industry, such as some key technologies of aircraft carriers--" Fan Wubing replied.
Fan Heng nodded immediately when he heard this. No wonder everyone was so excited. It turned out that they had indeed scratched their itch.
China is the only major country without aircraft carriers, and China cannot always have aircraft carriers.
Aircraft carriers are large surface ships with carrier-based aircraft as their main combat weapons, providing takeoff and landing for military aircraft. They are also called aircraft carriers and air carriers. The former Soviet Union was used to calling them aircraft carrier cruisers.
Aircraft carriers are not only seaports, but also logistics support bases for sea mobility. They have three major capabilities: carrying capacity, ocean-going capability, and battlefield support capabilities. Aircraft carriers are considered to be equipment that must be owned by military powers. They are also the largest type of ship and the strongest combat capability among modern naval surface combat ships. They are known as the maritime giant.
In terms of combat, the most ideal combat method for aircraft carriers is to use carrier-based combat aircraft to eliminate the enemy in seas or airspace hundreds of kilometers away from the aircraft carrier. Since the advent of the aircraft carrier, it has developed a multi-spherical offensive and defensive system that combines ships and aircraft, both offense and defense, is flexible, is solid and difficult to damage, and is highly intensive.
Aircraft carriers do not act alone, but are coordinated by other ships, collectively known as aircraft carrier fleets. They are also called aircraft carrier battle groups. Cooperating with ships include cruisers, destroyers, frigates, etc., which mainly provide protection for aircraft carriers. In addition, submarines are also used for reconnaissance and anti-submarines. The above-mentioned ships themselves also carry offensive weapons, such as cruise missiles. The aircraft carrier is the core ship in an aircraft carrier fleet, and sometimes serves as the flagship of the aircraft carrier fleet.
At present, the countries in the world that own aircraft carriers include the United States, Britain, Russia, France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, India, Thailand, etc. Among them, the United States is the country with the largest number of aircraft carriers. For many years, owning an aircraft carrier is not only a symbol of a country's maritime military strength, but also a need to safeguard the country's maritime and air interests.
In the second year of the founding of New China, American aircraft carriers were patrolling the Taiwan Strait. Due to their strength, China formulated an active defensive military strategy and the offshore defense strategy formed on this strategy, which made the Chinese Navy pay more attention to the development of offshore combat ships.
However, this does not mean that China does not want to develop and own aircraft carriers at all. The Navy began to argue for building aircraft carriers as early as 1970.
In October 1973, when talking about sovereignty with foreign guests, the Prime Minister said that our Nansha and Xisha were occupied by South Vietnam. Without aircraft carriers, we cannot let the Chinese navy fight for bayonets again. I have been engaged in military and political work for a lifetime, and I have not seen Chinese aircraft carriers or aircraft carriers so far, and I am unwilling to accept it!
For many years, we have built and owned our own aircraft carrier.
Become the dream and pursuit of many Chinese people.
In fact, the leaders of the Central Military Commission are paying attention to the construction and development of aircraft carriers. Relevant leaders have repeatedly demanded that in the development of aircraft carriers, pre-research fees, development fees, and equipment fees should be combined and arranged in a coordinated manner, emphasizing that they should be combined with established development plans for ships, aircrafts, weapons, and electronic equipment, rather than being specially arranged in large aircraft carrier projects to avoid excessive projects and the superior leaders cannot understand in detail and make scientific decisions.
The Military Commission approved the navy and relevant industrial sector experts to visit France, the United States, Russia, Ukraine and other countries to inspect the experience and lessons of developing aircraft carriers. The relevant defense industry departments also hired aircraft carrier design experts from Russia and other countries to come to China to introduce experience in building aircraft carriers and communicate with relevant Chinese experts and scholars.
So far, relevant departments have introduced some design technical data and conducted pre-research on key supporting aircraft carriers, making significant progress. The General Staff Department and the National Defense Science and Technology Commission have also conducted careful analysis, demonstration and evaluation on inspections, introductions, pre-research and other work on many occasions.
Especially in the late 1990s, especially after entering the new century, with the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, people increasingly realized the importance and necessity of developing aircraft carriers.
It is undoubtedly the best manifestation of strengthening a country's naval power, but what kind of aircraft carrier should be built? There is no clear conclusion yet. Whether to build a light aircraft carrier like the Thai Navy or directly modify the medium-sized aircraft carrier used by other countries like the Indian Navy is still difficult to decide for a while, which is actually a technical obstacle.
The U.S. aircraft carrier formation is composed of special-mixed brigades and special-mixed brigades. The function of the special-mixed brigades is to be used for alerting and displaying strength in low-threat areas. This type of transformed brigades is also called single-aircraft carrier formations. The special-mixed brigades are also called dual-aircraft carrier formations. It is mainly used to implement deterrence in medium-threat areas, stop crises, and participate in local wars of medium and low intensity. A formation composed of three aircraft carriers is used to participate in medium-high-intensity local wars or large-scale conventional wars.
For example, in the 1991 Gulf War, the US single aircraft carrier formation consisted of eight to ten frigates, including one and two oil tankers, arms ships or combat crew ships and supply ships. During the second attack on Iraq, the United States dispatched four aircraft carrier battle groups, including Constellation, Truman, Lincoln, Roosevelt, etc. The US aircraft carrier battle groups include cruisers, destroyers, frigates, and two nuclear attack submarines.
The Russian Navy is a special mixed formation consisting of Kuznetsov-class aircraft carriers as the core. During combat, it is mainly used for anti-submarine, air defense and counter-ship operations. During anti-submarine, the aircraft carrier formation is generally equipped with three cruisers and two frigates. When performing air-to-ship combat missions, it is generally equipped with three cruisers, three destroyers and one frigate.
The Chinese Navy has been hovering in the yellow water field. The reason why it cannot be expanded is because there is no powerful aircraft carrier formation. Japan's Navy Self-Defense Forces are more than twice the number of our naval ships. Among the main ships with a displacement of more than 4,000 tons. If we build ten ships, Japan will build twenty ships, which will never catch up with Japan's speed.
Not to mention, even Taiwan has more than 500 ships, including more than 40 large and medium-sized ships, with a total tonnage of about 240,000 tons, ranking among the top 15 of the world's navy, with more than 130 main ships, including four conventional submarines, two destroyers, twenty-one frigates, fifty-five missile boats, twelve minesweepers and twenty-one amphibious combat ships, and nearly 460 other ships, including nearly 1,000 escort ships, submarine ships, patrol boats, landing ships, other combat boats and auxiliary ships.
Obviously, in contrast, it is imminent to develop a powerful naval force, and building a powerful aircraft carrier formation is also the top priority. However, if an aircraft carrier formation does not have cruisers but only destroyers and frigates, it cannot escort large aircraft carriers. Without cruisers’ superior naval and air combat capabilities, the aircraft carrier itself is also very limited in preventing air and underwater threats.
Therefore, although the Navy is anxious, there is no way. After all, if all these problems are realized, it will not only require money, but also technology and technology must meet the conditions.
However, it is worth being happy that just two models of high-power medium and high-speed diesel engine crankshaft assembly of Fan Investment Group was successfully developed, allowing the domestic medium and high-speed engine crankshaft production capacity to reach the international advanced level. In this way, it is possible to equip domestic aircraft carriers with four high-speed engines manufactured by themselves, and it is possible to launch the aircraft carriers.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, the country has accelerated the development efforts and pace of aircraft carriers and cruisers, preparing for the construction of the first large aircraft carrier formation. If such a large aircraft carrier formation can be equipped, China's Blue Water Navy will no longer be a dream.
It is also at this critical moment that the information about aircraft carrier manufacturing technology and other aspects obtained by Fan Wubing seem to be even more important.
It can be imagined that when domestic enterprises have jointly digested this part of the information, Fan's Investment Group will also successfully build a deep-water dock along the coast, and a large dock that cooperates with the old Jiangnan Shipyard will also be put into use. By that time, the high-performance alloy steel and related materials provided by Southeast Heavy Industry will definitely support the construction task of an aircraft carrier formation.
It takes less than ten years to see your aircraft carrier formation.
