Are these two warships sold?

Both Zhirkov and Arshavin showed expressions of disbelief: "Qin, this kind of warship is the main force and backbone of our naval equipment, and Moscow will not agree to export it."

Er Mao has no scruples and dares to sell as long as they give money, but Da Mao is different. They need to consider their own military security.

What should I do if the secret of selling this kind of navy's main warship is leaked?

Qin Tao smiled: "This is not a cruiser. The weapons equipped on it are all low-end products. There is nothing that cannot be sold. If you sell it, you can get foreign exchange. You can report it to your superiors. I think Moscow will definitely agree.

of."

If it's the Kirov-class or Glorious-class, Lao Maozi will definitely not sell it. As for the Modern-class, the market will soon open up.

Shock therapy did not solve the country's economic problems, but made their economy worse. Now they rely on printing money crazily. Domestic inflation and currency depreciation have reached an unbelievable level. The ruble will soon be as strong as

The Zimbabwe dollar is comparable.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lao Maozi needs hard currency to exchange for foreign exchange. Of course, it is best for low-end products like modern grade to be exported.

Anti-ship missiles only have a range of more than 100 kilometers, and anti-aircraft missiles are only medium-range. Why can't they be exported?

What Qin Tao needs to consider is domestic procurement funds. After all, if he wants to buy back these two ships, he will have to use real foreign exchange. If the price of one ship in history is US$400 million, it will be enough for the navy to have a headache.

However, the headache is not Qin Tao's headache, he just makes connections. In order to buy the four diamonds, the country was willing to use its gold reserves, but now it's the worst case scenario and it will continue to use gold.

In the afternoon of that day, Qin Tao checked into the guest house of the Northern Shipyard. Before he could take a rest and contact the country to talk about the recent situation, someone knocked on the door outside.

"Qin, let me introduce, this is our factory director Sergey Chemezov, and this is our designer Mishin from the Northern Design Bureau. They want to talk to you." Zhirkov enthusiastically gave

Qin Tao introduced the two guests.

The other party came to the door so quickly. It seemed that he was very excited about his proposal! Qin Tao thought to himself, feeling extremely happy.

"Come, please sit down, Zaitsev, and pour coffee for the two guests!"

The strong aroma of coffee made Chemezov and Mishin very happy. They had not had coffee for a long time. This man from the East was so polite.

"Qin, we have already reported to Moscow. Although they are still discussing it, there should not be a big problem in exporting our Type 956 destroyers in exchange for precious foreign exchange. After all, we can even sell Su-27

, not to mention this kind of mid-range destroyer." Chemezov first said: "Please connect us with the Eastern Navy. If you can sell these two warships that are being outfitted, what is the situation of our shipyard?

It will be greatly improved.”

It will take some time for Moscow to agree to the sale, but he believes that given the current economic situation, there is no problem in selling the Hyundai class. He just needs to wait for the president to sign a government document.

"Of course I am very willing to serve." Qin Tao said: "As long as the price is right, after all, our domestic economic capacity cannot support too expensive warships. Moreover, in terms of performance, Type 956 is not advanced. For example,

, and it still uses outdated steam turbines.”

One of the things that is criticized at the modern level is that in an era when gas turbines are very popular, they still burn boilers!

"When we were designing, we did plan to use gas turbines. However, the production capacity of the Southern Turbine Manufacturing Plant, which is responsible for manufacturing ship gas turbines, could not keep up, so the Navy Department asked us to modify the power configuration and become the current steam turbine. We also

We have the design drawings of the gas turbine version of 956.2, and we can change it if you need it." It was Mising's turn to explain.

Qin Tao shook his head: "The gas turbine you want, you still have to purchase it from Ermao, right? This will involve a lot of wrangling, we can't afford to wait, let's forget it, the selling price must be considered according to the price of the steam engine

That’s fine.”

The two smiled bitterly, knowing that Qin Tao was right.

After the separation, the marine gas turbine manufacturer remained in Ermao, so that they no longer had the possibility to obtain gas turbines. If they wanted to purchase them, they would face a lot of wrangling and uncertainty.

Qin Tao used basic bargaining methods.

"Excuse me, do you have any other opinions about these two warships?" Mising asked.

"Of course I have other opinions. Although this kind of warship can park helicopters, it uses a telescopic hangar, which is close to the back of the chimney. This kind of hangar is very inconvenient and cannot allow ship-borne helicopters to park at all.

For maintenance and repairs above, you must modify the design behind it. Even if you remove a naval gun, you must provide sufficient conveniences for the ship-based helicopters."

This is the second shortcoming of the modern class: most of the time, carrier-based helicopters dock on it occasionally and are not carried for a long time.

This is also related to the mission of the Modern class. The carrier-based helicopter is anti-submarine, but anti-submarine is an important task of the Dreadnought class. The main mission of the Modern class is anti-ship and air defense, so it is enough to occasionally carry a helicopter.

However, the motherland's navy is not good enough. It has two warships with the largest displacement, but it cannot carry helicopters for a long time? This flaw must be made up for, even if the naval guns at the back are removed.

Generally, warships have helicopters at the tail, but the Hyundai-class has a twin 130mm naval gun at the tail. It is said that when it was built, Lao Maozi used it as a fire support ship.

.

However, the configuration of these two naval guns is useless to the motherland navy. They would rather not have the tail guns and arrange the helicopters.

"Yes." Misin nodded and agreed: "Actually, in our design, there is a modification that removes the tail gun, but a 16-unit 3c14 missile vertical launcher is installed in the removed space.

Equipped with 3m54 anti-ship missiles with a range of 200 kilometers, it has more powerful anti-ship capabilities. The No. 20 Type 956 Fierce, which is currently being built at 20% progress in the dock, is the first of this solution.

If you need it..."

Qin Tao quickly shook his head: "We don't want it, you can keep it for yourself. If it is replaced by a vertically launched anti-aircraft missile, it will be about the same."

Lao Maozi has always liked to go to extremes. He has a special persistence in anti-ship, and he actually built a sixteen-unit anti-ship missile vertical launcher!

What to do?

Saturate attack on American aircraft carriers? The range is not enough! Attack ordinary surface ships? Aren’t the Sunburn anti-ship missiles in front not enough?

Compared with anti-ship, air defense is the most important!

"According to the Soviet-era plan, professional air defense ships are planned to be modified on the Type 1155 destroyer (Dreadnought class). Therefore, we do not have air defense modifications for the time being. If you need it, we can modify it according to this plan, but

, the price may increase..." This guy Chemezov actually learned and used it on the spot and started to trick Qin Tao.

"No, the existing ones are enough." Qin Tao said, "Let's talk about the price. I'll bring you a message back to see if the Navy is interested."

price?

How much is appropriate?

Now it was Chemezov's turn to become nervous: "Well, how about 400 million?"

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Qin Tao's face: "Four hundred million rubles?"

"Of course it's 400 million U.S. dollars, 400 million U.S. dollars for a boat, 400 million rubles, isn't that a joke?" Chemezov was no longer worried, that's the price!

The American Perry class costs hundreds of millions per piece. It is a frigate. A seven- to eight-thousand-ton destroyer like ours costs 400 million, which is very cheap!

"Mr. Chemezov, I wonder if you have heard of the aircraft carrier we built for Siam?" Qin Tao glanced at Chemezov: "That's an aircraft carrier! The contract is less than 300 million, and you have one

Destroyers actually cost 400 million? You are really kidding. With a price of 400 million, we can build two aircraft carriers in China! You are so insincere, how can I dare to bring you a message back? The navy is not allowed to chase me with warships.

beat!"

"That's right, not to mention 400 million for one ship, 400 million for two ships is expensive enough." Zaitsev echoed from the side. Over time, he also learned to help Qin Tao negotiate the price.

"Two ships? How is that possible? Moscow will definitely not agree."

Qin Tao glanced at Chemezov: "If a ship worth 200 million yuan comes with 50 anti-ship missiles, 200 anti-aircraft missiles and thousands of artillery shells, I can give the Navy a message. If it is more expensive,

, forget it, just pretend I didn’t say it, I’m in the scrap metal business anyway.”

Chemezov swallowed and said, "We can report this to Moscow."

"By the way, I also want a 20% rebate as a bonus. This is customary. I can't do it in vain."

Chemezov's face suddenly turned pale.

200 million for a ship is already a bargain price, and Qin Tao also wants 20% of the commission? Then they only got 160 million? Isn't this too cheating?
