Moreover, since Qin Tao has dealt with the leaker in advance, Dongfeng-31 is still full of mystery to the outside world.

A new generation of submarine-launched missiles developed on the basis of the Dongfeng-31 has also been developed and will be installed in the ballistic missile nuclear submarines to be produced by the Mingzhou Group in the future. In this way, the Dongfeng-21 is already a backward model.

Moreover, the Dongfeng-21 is also constantly being improved. For example, new warheads using water-floating ballistics will be equipped on the Dongfeng-21. The original Dongfeng-21 has no big secrets and can be sold.

You can earn a lot of money by selling this kind of missile to big investors. When you sold Dongfeng-3 in the past, the price was twice the foreign exchange reserves at that time. But now, one is sold for one billion, and twenty is sold for two.

Tens of billions of dollars! Plus three billion in modification costs, this is definitely a huge amount of revenue, which is equivalent to this year’s defense expenditure!

If all this money is used for national defense, how much advanced equipment can be purchased and how much armed forces can be expanded? Therefore, when Qin Tao reported this proposal to his superiors, his superiors immediately agreed.

Of course, making money is only one of them. The more important thing is strategic considerations. When the big dogs become more and more dependent on the East, the position of the big dogs will become more inclined to the East. What happened in distant Yugoslavia this year has a great impact on

Everyone was greatly touched. This world must not be a unipolar world, it must develop into a multi-polar world!

He couldn't talk too much to the missile brigade commander. Qin Tao just chatted with him for a few words and then left by car. In the car, Xu Zhengyang introduced the latest situation.

"Mr. Qin, the Americans have made some moves recently."

"What action?"

"They are lobbying big investors and trying to sell one of their decommissioned Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carriers to big investors."

Qin Tao smiled: "Don't worry, they can't sell it."

Xu Zhengyang is really worried about this matter. Once a big business owner chooses a second-hand aircraft carrier from the United States, it means that the aircraft carrier on our slipway will be abandoned, and all our efforts for so many years will be in vain.

The big guys will wear the same pants as Americans again.

However, Qin Tao is not worried. Is it so easy to get an American aircraft carrier?

Salman returned to the desert happily. When he walked into the splendid building, he was surprised that an old acquaintance was here.

Austin has been preventing them from conducting in-depth military cooperation with the East!

Austin saw Salman with a smile on his face: "Mr. Salman, has your ship specially designed to deal with pirates started construction?"

"Yes, construction has started. What's wrong?" Salman looked at Austin warily: "Which warship we order has nothing to do with you, right?"

The other party is not well-intentioned and has been sabotaging their cooperation with Dongfang. When they first planned to build an aircraft carrier with Dongfang, the other party came up to promote the F-23. What bad idea did they have this time?

"When will this aircraft carrier be delivered?"

"The delivery date has nothing to do with you, it is our secret."

"Your Excellency Salman, it seems that you have misunderstood us." Austin said: "We are good friends and true friends. Our friendship was forged on the battlefield. When you were in emergency here,

, it was us who sent out troops urgently to curb the spread of evil forces, and we sacrificed so many people, but now, we are not as important as the Orientals in your hearts?"

Yes, hundreds of you died in that war, but were you doing it for us? You were just coveting the oil at our feet. After that war, you naturally stationed troops here and will not leave. What do you think?

, think we don’t know?

Salman cursed in his heart, but did not say it out loud. He just sneered: "So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

"The construction of an aircraft carrier takes a long time, often four or five years, and the fight against pirates is urgent." Austin said: "So, in order to help you fight against pirates, we have a new proposal.

"

"What proposal?"

"We have decided to sell you the third ship of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier. After simple modifications, it will be ready for service within half a year, which can completely solve your urgent needs."

The Kitty Hawk was built on December 27, 1956, and entered service in April 1961. Later, the second aircraft carrier USS Constellation was built. While this aircraft carrier was being built, the US Navy also developed a new Enterprise-class aircraft carrier.

As for aircraft carriers, they originally planned to enter the era of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. However, the technology of enterprise-class aircraft carriers was immature and the cost was too high. Therefore, after the Enterprise was completed, they gave up on nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and returned to the era of conventional power.

The third ship America and the fourth ship USS Kennedy of the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier were products of this special environment. After the USS Kennedy, the U.S. Navy finally matured the nuclear power system and officially started construction of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, and has since entered the nuclear era.

The era of powered aircraft carriers.

There is a very interesting thing about this. The Kitty Hawk is obviously the lead ship of this aircraft carrier, but it was the last to be decommissioned. After undergoing modernization and modification in the 1990s, it was not until the end of the first decade of the 21st century that it was decommissioned.

However, several ships behind it were decommissioned one after another in the 1990s.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The third ship, the USS America, was decommissioned in 1996. After several years of decommissioning, it has not yet decided where to go. Now, the Americans are going to sell this aircraft carrier to big investors.

"The one you ordered from the East has a displacement of only 40,000 tons and can only operate thirty or forty carrier-based aircraft. However, our Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier has a displacement of more than 80,000 tons and can operate seventy or eighty carrier-based aircraft.

, its combat effectiveness is comparable to that of a medium-sized country, how about it, are you interested?"

Fahd, who was sitting above, was really tempted. However, he was cunning and never took the initiative to ask such questions. He let his subordinates negotiate first.

Salman was not tempted. He thought of the early warning aircraft that was being refitted. It actually had a positioning device installed on it. The weapons purchased from the United States were advanced in performance, but they were restricted by others! I heard that more advanced weapons can also pass outside.

Using the remote control, the weapon may be locked with just a few keystrokes. The weapons purchased by oneself may be controlled by others at any time. This is simply bullying!

"What conditions do you have?" Salman asked, first listening to what the other party said.

"The aircraft carrier we sold to you only costs one billion U.S. dollars, but it still needs some improvements, so it will cost another billion U.S. dollars. You only need to pay two billion U.S. dollars to get a modern aircraft carrier!

"

Modernization? A modern aircraft carrier that has been in service for decades? Isn’t this a joke?

Salman continued to curse in his heart, and continued to speak: "Do the carrier-based aircraft above also need money?"

"It depends on which carrier-based aircraft you choose. If you want to operate your existing Vostok fighters, that's fine too." Austin said: "Although our American instructors have not flown the Vostok fighters, we will become familiar with them as soon as possible.

This aircraft will help you complete the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft and form combat effectiveness."

"American instructor?"

"That's right." Austin said: "You have never operated an aircraft carrier, and you are not familiar with the takeoff and landing of carrier-based aircraft. You need the help of our American instructors. Otherwise, within ten years, you will not be able to truly operate an aircraft carrier."

Let the aircraft carrier exert its combat effectiveness."

"Of course, considering some of your ideas, you may not want us to touch Dongfang fighters. If this is the case, you can choose to purchase our carrier-based aircraft. The F-18 is the most suitable choice for you. This kind of fighter is not

It's very expensive. The unit price is only 200 million US dollars per unit, and you can purchase 60 of them. It's only over 10 billion US dollars."

Fahd's face also darkened. Isn't this too expensive?
