Chapter 2376

In fact, there is a precedent for Qin Guan to make such a fuss.

In the past, for all navies, they liked giant ships and artillery, and the eagle navy was no exception. Their newly started battleship planned to be named "Lexington" with a gross tonnage of 40000 tons.

At that time, the islanders were worried. The islanders had long coveted the peaceful ocean, and did not want to see eagle build such super warships to threaten themselves. Their plan was very good. On the one hand, they wanted to build their own warships, and on the other hand, they did not let others build them.

Of course, this is not wishful thinking. After all, in this era, we build one together, I build two, you build 30000 tons and I build 40000 tons. If this goes on, don't do anything else. All build warships. This is a military competition.

This will seriously bring down their own economy. In order not to fall behind, they have to bite their teeth. In this way, their own economy will be ruined. You know, tens of thousands of tons of warships may be the output of steel in a country for several years.

So, let's sit down and talk. How many ships will you build and I will build, so that everyone is in balance. If no one breaks the balance, they will be in peace, so as to maintain a short-term peace.

With this purpose, the island countries negotiated with the eagle countries. They really succeeded in the negotiation and jointly signed a Washington disarmament agreement. The islanders actually let the Hawks give in, not only reducing the gross tonnage of ships, but also changing the "Lexington" and "Saratoga" under construction as battleships into aircraft carriers of about three tons.

At that time, no one thought that the aircraft carrier would control the world battlefield. In their eyes, the aircraft carrier, a weak offensive weapon, did not seem to pose a great threat.

Of course, the islanders have the same operation, changing the "Chicheng" and "Jiahe" battleships under construction into aircraft carriers.

After the agreement was reached, the engineers of Eagle country yelled because they had no technical reserves for aircraft carriers. After all, aircraft were still new in the past 20 years. To carry aircraft onto aircraft carriers, we had to overcome various problems.

At that time, many engineers joined in and solved many problems, such as pilot take-off, landing command, night lighting deck deployment, various guidance methods, and so on.

However, on the whole, the last Lexington was successful, which of course had something to do with the conditions at that time. The propeller aircraft at that time needed very simple take-off and landing conditions. They just removed all the superstructure on the battleship and turned it into a flat deck, which was enough. The rest was to explore the space below, Used to store shipborne aircraft and so on.

But now? Modern aircraft carriers have a set of special knowledge. The allocation of side elevators, the arrangement of the right ship Island, the operation of the inclined deck, and even the scheduling of aircraft on the deck are all very complex knowledge. The Han people actually want to simply tow back a battleship and think they can be transformed into an aircraft carrier?

Of course it's impossible! This is a daydream!

However, pelehak did not refuse directly, because he knew that this was a rare opportunity.

Yes, after the explosion, it is estimated that the battleship will be difficult to serve again, right? The navy has always criticized the backward weapons of battleships, but those battleships are too large and abandoned. It's a pity that since the Han state wants to, the Navy directly demolished those turrets and sold them to the Han state to refit and toss. In this way, it can make a profit. It seems to be a good idea.

Of course, there will be some twists and turns, but as long as the Han people are willing to give money, it can be guaranteed to dredge the relationship, and the Gruman company has obtained quite rich. For the Gruman company, it must not lose the ship-based aircraft project. The main business of their company's development is the ship-based aircraft of the Navy!

"Well, I'd like to give you this trip," said pelehak.

Qin Guan nodded: "if you need anything, you can go to our office there. Lisa will provide necessary help."

In recent years, Lisa has been working well in Eagle country. Now the Yunshi airliner has flown over the world, which is inseparable from Lisa's efforts. The original Douglas company has also successfully reversed the situation. Lisa is a strong woman in business, which is recognized all over the world.

Lisa can help with this mission. As for the funds needed, they will be transferred through the weapons cemetery again. Qin Guan had already made plans.

When pelehak left, others surrounded him.

"President Qin, what do we want that thing for?"

"Can that battleship really be changed into an aircraft carrier?"

"Don't talk. President Qin must have a deep meaning." everyone said a word. These senior naval officers were waiting for Qin Guan's answer.

"This is a rare opportunity. Since we have this opportunity, of course we should take advantage of it." Qin Guan said, "it is impossible to refit this battleship into a combat aircraft carrier. However, if it is simply put on the deck for Navy take-off and landing training, as a navy training ship, it should not be a big problem?"

At present, the navy can only simulate on the land platform. Even if there are thousands of hydraulic cylinders on it to simulate the swing of the hull, it is also on the land. Unlike the sea, similar to the eagle Navy, it has a long aircraft carrier operation history of decades. They have formed a perfect pilot training system, but it is different in China. There is nothing in China, Therefore, it is very important for the domestic navy to have an aircraft carrier training ship.

Don't worry about the following. Keep everything as it is. Just dismantle the superstructure and install the take-off and landing deck for the take-off and landing training of carrier aircraft. The positioning is originally an aircraft carrier training ship. If so, it can be greatly simplified. It can be said that there is no problem in doing so.

"Mr. Qin, your idea is really clear. As long as the price is not too outrageous, we can accept it. In this way, we can train at sea and train a large number of Shipborne aircraft pilots. However, we look forward to a real aircraft carrier."

Hearing this sentence, Qin Guan nodded: "a popular saying is that the century old navy has developed very well. As long as we stick to it unswervingly, everything will be there. Now, at least we can have an aircraft carrier training ship first, can't we?"
