466 Old Ship Reconstruction
When Ukrainian economic officials heard that China actually had plans to assist Ukraine, they were very excited. Lai Zhenping quickly separated from Zhao Jinsong because economic matters were his expertise. He entered the discussion on economic cooperation issues with Ukraine.
.The specific details are about China will lend US$200 million to Ukraine at a low interest rate. The collateral is tens of thousands of hectares of fertile black soil in Ukraine, two iron ore and one manganese ore. If Ukraine cannot repay, these things will be left to China.
Development for half a century without compensation.
In addition to low-interest loans, Lai Zhenping also promised to invest US$200 million in Ukraine, but Ukraine must be opened to most of China's industries, including some proud manufacturers during the Soviet era, such as Antonov Airlines.
China has also shown interest in participating in the manufacturing plant, Karkov-Molozov Machinery Manufacturing Design Bureau and other important military-industrial enterprises. Some Ukrainian enterprises, state-owned and private enterprises, hope to acquire these Ukrainian enterprises.
All of them are good assets, but when they encounter business difficulties, they can immediately turn over as long as they have funds and market investment.
However, the most common thing is that Chinese companies directly invest in Ukraine, especially industries involving people's livelihood. For example, Lianhua supermarket chain, which is already quite famous in East Asia, intends to take this opportunity to enter the Ukrainian market. Some of China's advantageous service industries, including retail and finance,
Companies such as telecommunications hope to take advantage of Ukraine's weakening and occupy the commanding heights to form a monopoly position.
There is no doubt that if China completes this round of economic aid (infiltration) assistance, Ukraine's economy and people's livelihood will likely be held in the hands of the Chinese.
However, at this time, the Ukrainian government could not care about so much. Obviously, the Chinese are very good at saving a country's economy. Ukraine also wants to become the second Yugoslavia and get out of the economic dilemma.
In order to get China's economic assistance, the aircraft carrier transactions must be compromised. What made the Ukrainians breathe a sigh of relief was that the Chinese were obviously more benevolent than Westerners and did not ask for those two aircraft carriers in vain. The Varyag was ultimately
The transaction was sold for US$660,000, including all the technical information involved. Because the Ulyanovsk was not completed, China allocated US$860,000 to continue to build the aircraft carrier.
The expenditure is more and less. The Varyag is actually the price of selling iron to China, while the Ulyanovsk has some value for aircraft carriers. In addition, it will be brought to China in the future.
The total investment of the Varyag army was about 660,000 US dollars, while the Ulyanovsk required US$200 million. The above calculations include the ship's own weapon systems and avionics equipment, but not
Carrier-based aircraft.
In this way, it is much more cost-effective than building a 62 aircraft carrier with a cost of RMB 100 million. A 660-ton and an 860-ton Soviet aircraft carrier are slightly higher than half of the 62 aircraft carrier.
.In this way, China has taken advantage of it.
The modification cost is not expensive, and it is mainly related to the significant increase in the construction capacity of Chinese shipyards and the mature technical level with Qi Yiming's support. However, Qi Yiming looked at the production schedule taken by domestic shipyards and couldn't help but smile bitterly because several major modification capabilities are available.
The shipyard has no spare capacity to build these two ships.
The large ship itself is an aircraft carrier manufacturing base. The Hebei has been manufactured, and the second ship, Hunan, is also built on the ship platform. In addition, the large ship has orders for the amphibious assault ships, Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia, so it is impossible to transform the Soviet aircraft carrier again. Jiangnan
The situation is similar. They mainly build cruisers and destroyers. Moreover, there are many civilian ships in Jiangnan. The profit of large LNs is higher than that of military products for the navy. Therefore, modifying a Soviet aircraft carrier is really not a popular job.
.
The capacity of shipyards such as Huangpu, Hudong, Qingdao is slightly lacking. To modify such a large ship, people from large ships and Jiangnan will be transferred to support it. It is hard to say whether the construction period can be guaranteed.
Since this is the case, Qi Yiming will not bother these busy people. Anyway, he paid for the purchase of the ship this time. In the spirit of saving as much as possible, Qi Yiming decided to tow the hulls of the two aircraft carriers to the Red Police Shipyard in Huludao and
The Red Alert Repair Factory directly remodels without spending a penny.
Qi Yiming had already had an idea of how to modify these two aircraft carriers. The Varyag, which is the Liaoning, is basically modified according to the technology of the 6l aircraft carrier in another plane. Anyway, he already has the Amur Communist Qingcheng
Gagarin Aircraft Manufacturing Factory, which can produce Su-Su. It will produce the J-15 and be equipped with the Liaoning. Although the ammunition load and combat radius are relatively limited, Qi Yiming thinks that such an aircraft carrier is
It is very suitable as an escort air defense ship for the pL naval amphibious combat group, and is specially designed to provide air-excellent support for the huge amphibious fleet.
Furthermore, it is not a problem to bring three fighter jets after the Liaoning is modified. If you put two J-15s and 10 aircraft, the mission flexibility will be greater. Strong vertical take-off and landing, catapults and other things are not needed.
, when remodeling, the anti-burn ability of the flight deck must be improved. Then it is equipped with two upper-18 sea bat warning helicopters, two 20 anti-submarine direct/general picks, and two 6 6 Hunjianglong large
Transport 4 helicopters.
Such fighter aircraft configuration is no longer a problem to deal with medium and low-intensity wars, and this is different from the situation of the Chinese navy on the other plane. Apart from the Liaoning ship, the navy is currently in service, and one of them is about to be put into service. And this
The three ships are all powerful 80,000 tons of nuclear powered and steam catapulted. The Liaoning ship is not alone.
The modification of the Liaoning ship is easier to say, but the continuation and renovation of the Ulyanovsk is more complicated. The ending of this ship in another plane is tragic, which makes many military fans sigh.
After the construction was suspended due to lack of funds, Norwegian ship owners immediately ordered multiple civilian ships from the Black Sea Shipyard. For the livelihood of the shipyard, these civilian ship orders must be obtained. However, the ship platforms of the Black Sea Shipyard were occupied, and some people wanted to get rid of the Ukrainian ship.
.
At this time, an American scrap steel mill came to the door, hoping to acquire the entire ship at a price of US$450 per ton above the market price, so that the shipyard can get as much as US$1.56 million. Under the temptation, the Black Sea Shipyard demolished the Ukrainian ship,
At this time, the Norwegian ship owner said that due to market changes, the order was cancelled and the deposit was not needed, and the ship was not needed. The American scrap steel mill also said that he did not understand the international market before and could not fulfill the contract. If he wanted to continue, he could not purchase it for US$450.
, it costs $150 to acquire.
After such trouble, the Ukrainian ship no longer exists, and the Black Sea Shipyard only received a small amount of income. It was later found that the Norwegian ship owner and the American scrap steel mill were actually both bag companies, which were specially used by the United States to dismantle the Ukrainian ship and cause a conspiracy.
Let’s talk about the transformation of Ulyanovsk in this plane. Qi Yiming couldn’t tolerate the ship retaining a skip deck. China has mastered the technology of mature and reliable steam catapults. Slide and jump and catapult seem good.
But it is completely unnecessary. The front end of the take-off deck with an angle is actually not conducive to parking the fighter jets. Therefore, during the renewal of the construction of the Ukrainian Black Sea Shipyard, China asked to straighten that angle (it's not a joke, this can really be done)
.
Ukraine is not responsible for installing any system. The nuclear reactor of the power system naturally needs to be installed with China's own radar and electric warfare systems. Catapults and subduction equipment must be dragged to China for modification, and Ukraine is the case.
Simply the hull will end sooner or later.
The Ukrainian ship will be renamed the Jilin, equipped with four catapults, and can operate up to 80 aircraft. The combat power is relatively close to China's self-built Type 62 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. In fact, the technology used by both aircraft carriers is relatively close.
The same carrier-based aircraft - 14CN), the same phased array radar, the same catapult and aided equipment are different in some design details.
Add these two Soviet heritage aircraft carriers, Red Alert Base produces two aircraft carriers, and the shipyard builds two aircraft carriers. China will own air carriers, of which the nuclear power displacement exceeds 80,000 tons. For China, there is only one side facing the ocean.
For traditional land-powered countries, the lineup of six aircraft carrier combat groups is enough to be used. At that time, Qi Yiming hopes to deploy an aircraft carrier in the Indian Ocean, preferably one in the Atlantic Ocean, and another in the South Pacific.
Three local deployments are basically enough to protect China's overseas interests. (The local deployments include training and overhaul)
China is not the only beneficiary of the plundering of Soviet naval heritage led by Qi Yiming. He instigated China's younger brother, the South China Sea Republic, to exchange something from Ukraine at a low price, that is, a Glorious Class cruiser. This ship has a displacement of 10,000 yuan.
More than a thousand tons of cruisers, namely the Communist Youth League member (later renamed Ukraine), also had scandals with China. The Soviet Union had completed 3 when it collapsed, but the design of this cruiser could no longer keep up with the times, and it was also dilapidated at that time.
, China will not spend money to buy a ship that cannot form combat power.
The Nanyang Republic invested 100 million US dollars to buy this Glorious Class cruiser. After getting the money, the Black Sea Shipyard will be responsible for completing the cruiser. However, in the end, the ship will still be sent to China like two aircraft carriers. Soviet-made radars and weapons
What's not to match the Chinese system used by the Nanyang Defense Forces, and the base also gave a new transformation plan: recombining various complex equipment on the deck, equipping 3 vertical launch systems, which can launch eagle strike-B
The missiles such as Thorn 2, Thorn 2, Changying-, and other missiles have also undergone a certain amount of rest and recuperation to reduce their radar launches, and are equipped with a flat panel array antenna phased array radar used in four directions.
The tonnage of the modified cruiser will increase slightly, and its shocking six large basalt anti-ship missile launchers were replaced, but they became an ASCHE. The combat effectiveness is the same as the original Glorious Class cruiser.
