Chapter 1953： Landlocked countries also have navies

"Just say if you can get it. You don't need to worry about other things. Even if they drive the F35 to fight sparrows, you can't control it."

Yang Cheng licked the teeth, looking a little embarrassed, "I can't speak to the F35 exit, I have to speak from the top or Lockheed Martin, but I can contact to see the situation before talking~"

"Okay, anyway, you have a snack about this~"

"OK, thank you anyway~"

"You are welcome, I said, you can move the headquarters of Yuanshan Bank to Liechtenstein, which is the biggest thanks to me."

"Ha, the guy who can't afford to be unprofitable, don't worry, I will consider this matter~"

. . .

At ten o'clock in the morning, the two Austrian officials arranged by Alois appeared at the hotel and entered Yang Cheng's suite very cautiously.

One of them is a senior member of the Federal Army, who has the right to speak in arms procurement, but this is very low-key, wearing ordinary casual clothes, looks no different from the retired old man, but his huge hook nose is still Exposed his blood.

Speaking of the Austrian army is very interesting, they do not have an independent air force, and the so-called air force is more like a department under the army.

As for the navy, hehe, even though Austria is a landlocked country, people also have a navy. Not only Austria, Hungary, and Mongolia, which is further afield, also have a naval establishment.

Teacher Guo said that Uncle Yu’s father had served as the commander of the Mongolian Navy, which is not a joke, although there are only 7 people in the navy.

However, now the word "navy" is still in the memories of the Austrians. There was once a ship that was nearly 50 years old and was never willing to abandon it. The heavy artillery pocket patrol boat "Lower Austria" that wandered on the Danube for a long time was worth it. Called this small European state that was the core of the former empire, it is a well-deserved new main force.

The Austrian "Navy" fleet has a total of 2 such "mobile floats" that can be called small boats.

The first was the patrol boat "Col. Brecht" that was allowed to be built after the first withdrawal of the occupying forces in 1955. It was completed and delivered in 1958. It uses a steel hull with a total length of 12.3 meters, a maximum width of 2.51 meters, and a displacement of 10.83. Tons, 0.8 meters draught.

The engines were originally two Grafsteft 6-cylinder diesel engines. They were replaced by two new MAN diesel engines after 1986, with a maximum speed of 15.5 knots. So it is not all wrong to say that this thing is called a floating floating object. Even if it can drive, the speed can't keep up with the 10,000-ton giant ship.

"Colon Brecht" is equipped with a 12.7 mm machine gun and an 84 mm anti-tank gun, also known as the Swiss "Karl Gustaf Rifleless Gun".

Coupled with these two weapons, they are somewhat deterrent, equivalent to tying an axe to the hand of a petite thin man. It looks quite bluffing, but for the Austrians, "Colon Brecht" The ship is not to be insulted. The small and powerful “Colon Brecht” is not only responsible for daily patrols, but also for army transportation, personnel training, and even a tracker and a waterway surveyor. 6 people.

In the following half a century, Austria has been caring for the "Colon Brecht", adding steel plates, changing the "bridge", and even painted a new blue, white and gray camouflage in 2000.

The "Lower Austria" was pieced together from the remaining hulls of two old-fashioned boats. This boat was also built by the Korneuburg shipyard. It was commissioned in 1970 and was put into service four days later.

The original plan was to build a total of 12 ships to protect all the bridges on the Danube and the power plants along the coast. The tone is really not small, but such a huge sum of money is really not available. In order to feel better psychologically, first of all It was reduced to 9 ships, and soon it was as low as 6 ships. Of course, this was just a good dream. The final number was 1 ship, although the personnel training for the No. 2 boat was almost the same.

However, in terms of appearance, it is more imposing than the "Colon Brecht", similar to an amphibious tank. It uses a fully welded aluminum hull and is equipped with 8 mm special steel armor.

The size is also much larger, although it is still a pocket toy compared to the real battleship, it is 29.64 meters in length, 5.41 meters in width, 1.1 meters in draft, 73.06 tons of displacement, and is equipped with two 16-cylinder diesel engines and Mannheim turbochargers. , The maximum speed is 23 knots, the endurance is 1700 kilometers, the standard crew is 9 people, and the maximum is 12 people, but there are only 10 berths. That is to say, if the ship is fully loaded, two of them cannot stay overnight on the ship.

The main weapon is an Oerlikon 20mm artillery, which is ingeniously mounted on the top of the bridge. It can rotate 360 ​​degrees and has a fire rate of 900 rounds per minute. It can deal with targets up to 2.3 kilometers away. The bow also has a 12.7mm machine gun. One, two 7.62mm machine guns, two 84mm Karl Gustaf rocket launchers, 8 assault rifles and 8 grenade launchers in the cabin, and double or triple acoustic warning devices in front of the bridge , Which is the speaker.

The radar was not added until 2003, which is considered a modern modification.

For many years, the "Colon Brecht" and "Lower Austria" have been wandering back and forth along the border of the Danube between Germany, Australia, and Slovakia, using "big artillery" to deter criminals who may be lurking on both sides of the strait, or in unexpected situations It is used as a tugboat or a disaster relief platform. If you want to go to a certain place for inspection, take a look at the beautiful water scene by the way, and it will also pick you up.

As the endorsement of the long-term low-key national river chief, the "Lower Austria" has also visited neighboring countries twice: Slovakia and Hungary.

However, in the end, the Austrian "Navy" patrol boat squadron was disbanded, and the two retired main boats were sent to Vienna and delivered to the Military History Museum. The Admiral Franz Ferdinand Maritime Association was responsible for maintenance. The modern Austrian navy of a Jiazi finally dissipated in the dust of history.

In such a country, now suddenly it is said to be equipped with a few ultra-era F35s, how does Yang Cheng feel like a joke.

Of course, he can't laugh at people in front of other Austrian officials.

Closer to home, Alois revealed the news to Yang Cheng in advance. In fact, even if the matter is mostly settled, Yang Cheng does not need to bother to negotiate.

Since the other party is willing to come, it shows that the intention of cooperation is very good. If you like it, the dialogue between the two sides is very friendly. After a few rounds, the cooperation is almost determined.

But on the topic of F35, the strong guy in the Austrian Jun side asked, "F35 has been reduced in price recently, right? I wonder if Mr. Yang can get the biggest discount~"

Yang Cheng is speechless, thinking this is a wholesale toy model? Also the biggest discount~

However, he said truthfully, "As far as I know, the unit price of F35 has dropped to 89 million US dollars in the large order that Lockheed Martin just sold."

He hesitated for a moment, and kindly said, "My suggestion is that you are seriously considering it. The F35 will just step on the accelerator and fly outside the border. You are not very useful.

Besides, the high maintenance cost, I'm afraid you can't afford it~"

He was telling the truth, but for the Jun people, it was a bit too much, as if they were mocking their military strength.

Sure enough, the faces of the two Guan members were not so good, but they didn't say much, after all, it was a fact, and Yang Cheng's smile was so friendly, they couldn't bother.

"This price will definitely be lowered in the later stage. After all, when the delivery was first started, the sky-high price of more than 100 million yuan, who would have thought that now I can buy one for less than 90 million yuan~

However, compared with the plummeting price of a single unit, maintenance costs are increasing day by day, and the U.S. military is complaining about it."

The other party asked, "What's the reason?"

Yang Cheng shrugged, “As far as I know, it’s a problem of parts. Due to the high technical content, the maintenance of stealth fighters has always been a problem. In order to reduce the maintenance cost of the F35, Lockheed Martin has developed automatic logistics information for the F-35. System (ALIS), this system can maintain the entire life cycle of the fighter.

However, in order to achieve full life cycle maintenance, it is inseparable from the collection of information on the various parts of the F35 stealth fighter. The historical information of the parts, the remaining life and other information are in the scope of collection, and detailed data is obtained. After that, technicians can judge in a short time whether an F-35 has potential safety hazards. Once a problem is found in a certain part, the part can be quickly replaced to maintain combat effectiveness to the maximum.

If the automatic logistics information system can be promoted, the maintenance of the US military's fighter jets will enter the information age, which can improve maintenance efficiency and reduce maintenance costs.

However, many suppliers that provide parts to Lockheed Martin did not use the automatic logistics information system, or the data entry was incomplete, resulting in the system not including all parts information, which made the technicians unable to fully trust the automatic logistics information system The information provided, after all, there are still many information such as the service life of parts that have not been entered into the system.

When encountering parts with incomplete data, the technicians can only suspend their work, notify Lockheed Martin and ask Lockheed to provide relevant data. UU read and Lockheed also needs to ask the supplier for information. In this process, it takes a lot of time to collect data and obtain new parts.

I remember before that the F35 ejection seat data was incomplete. In order to solve this problem, the US military had to spend several months. At the same time, as a user of the F35 stealth fighter, the US military had to pay a lot of expenses.

There is no doubt that the problems of the automatic logistics information system make the later maintenance of the F35 stealth fighter more complicated and expensive.

Generally speaking, a fighter can serve for 20 years or even longer. During this period, the F35 needs to replace a large number of parts to maintain combat effectiveness. Therefore, later maintenance will become a heavy burden. If you think about it clearly, I I will not miss the opportunity to make money, but because Alois is caught in the middle, I am willing to explain these issues to you clearly, and consider the rest for yourself. "

The other party said, "Thank you for your suggestion, we will consider it carefully~"

"That's good, other orders are fine. Give me a time and deliver them at any time. Of course, the fighters you are going to sell also need to be vacated as soon as possible. I will arrange the shipment~"
