v2 Chapter 1433： Navy Ambition Five

In fact, before Zhang Zhan came, Bao Zixuan had already thought that the US government would definitely agree to this arms sale. After all, he is a native of Hong Kong. If he can transfer some of his strength and assets; Americans are still very willing to see it. In addition, people are in the Soviet Union at this time, if the United States does not agree to sell warships. The order is sure to fall on polar bears, the last thing Americans want.

The cost of a Ticonderoga-class destroyer is about $1 billion. Of course, this is the price sold to the US military; for an outsider, the other party will definitely charge a premium. But the Americans did not dare to go too far, and the Soviet factor would definitely be taken into account. Besides, no one is stupid. If the price is too high, they will definitely not buy it.

Up to a few hundred million US dollars, it is still a price acceptable to both parties; therefore, 1.5 billion US dollars is a very reasonable offer.

Zhang Zhan said with a smile: "The price per unit is 1.5 billion US dollars. There is no problem. But we hope to get all the warships within three years of signing the contract. As long as the factory agrees, the contract can be signed now."

Hearing that the other party didn't even return the price, Nelson Hyde felt that the price was lower. But this price already has more than half of the profit, and it can't be too much.

The Ticonderoga-class destroyer is a relatively mature product. And this time the Americans were not stingy, and only changed some of the systems, as well as the identification of friend or foe and other signs. It can be said that it is almost the same as the original product in the United States.

The two parties formally signed the contract the next day, and the time was very detailed; in case of breach of contract, the compensation would be very high. Fucaira was also very quick to pay, just the day after the two parties signed the contract; $9 billion was all credited to the account of Bath Iron and Steel Shipyard. This makes General Dynamics with deep pockets feel incredible.

Even if they pay for the goods, they will try to delay it as much as possible; but Bao Zixuan is better, and pays the full amount directly in one lump sum. It's no wonder that people's business is doing so much, and this courage alone is not available to others.

As for Bao's richest man, 4 modern-class destroyers of upgraded version were ordered in the Soviet Union. The inner thought is very simple, once all 10 destroyers are in service. Not to mention the Middle East, it is estimated that it has the strength of World War I with the navy of any country in the world. Even if the British saw it, they would be jealous.

Knowing that things are going well in the United States, the richest man Bao feels much better. Therefore, for the past two days, I have been drinking with the Soviets every day. Although Makarov is an engineer, his drinker is not bad. So the two drank happily and are now friends.

In order to promote Soviet products, the old guy took Bao Zixuan next to the aircraft carrier under construction.

The third-generation Type 1143.5 aircraft carrier, the Soviet Union's first aircraft carrier in the true sense, is the world's first aircraft carrier with both inclined and straight flight decks and a ski-jump flight deck; later generations have become the latest and only aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy. An in-service aircraft carrier, the absolute main naval ship.

Any man would love to see this big guy with a fully loaded displacement of over 60,000 tons. At the same time, Bao Zixuan is also sighing, no wonder many rich people like yachts, especially the bigger the better. The feeling of sailing in the sea with a giant ship is really impossible to experience on land.

Bao Zixuan is very clear that the Soviet aircraft carrier has taken many detours. I don't know if it's being tricked by someone, or it's just the technical level.

After the arduous exploration of the first-generation aircraft carrier and the successful construction of the second-generation aircraft carrier, the important role of the aircraft carrier was gradually recognized by the Soviet Union. After Khrushchev stepped down, the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Gorshkov, aimed to form and develop a modern ocean-going navy; the Neva Design Bureau in Leningrad conducted research for the development of a long-term shipbuilding plan and concluded that "the Soviet Navy needs aircraft carrier". But then-Soviet Defense Minister Ustinov erroneously assessed the value of an anti-submarine ship carrying vertical/short take-off and landing aircraft; this ultimately led to a significant delay in the birth of an aircraft carrier in the traditional sense.

In the 1970s, the Soviet Union planned to build a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier code-named "1160" and its subsequent improved "1153". In 1977, due to Ustinov's order, the design work of these two types of aircraft carriers was stopped. Instead, it continued to build the Type 1143 aircraft carrier that NATO called the Kyiv class. The original design of this type of aircraft carrier was "1143". After serving three ships, the technical plan of the fourth ship has changed a lot, so the subsequent ship designation was changed to "1143.4".

After the 1143.4 Type 1 ship "Baku" was launched, the Nikolayev Shipyard began to build the 1143.4 Type 2 ship and began to transform the slipway. At the same time, the Neva Design Bureau formulated a revised plan to add the 1143.5 aircraft carrier element to the technical plan of the 1143.4 No. 2 ship, and submitted it to the Soviet General Staff and the Naval Command.

In May 1982, the Soviet government, the Ministry of Defense, and the Naval Command approved this revision plan, and at the same time renamed the construction plan of the 1143.4-type No. 2 ship to 1143.5, which was later called the third generation of the heavy aircraft cruiser by the Soviet Union. The aircraft carrier Marshal Kuznetsov-class aircraft carrier.

As a third-generation aircraft carrier, it absolutely belongs to the Soviet Union. It can be said that in order to sell products to customers, Makarov has already moved out the treasures at the bottom of the press box.

With Bao Zixuan's financial resources, as long as he wants to buy an aircraft carrier, there is no problem at all. If you can add an aircraft carrier order, then you can revitalize the entire Nikolaev shipyard. Not only can you gain valuable experience, but you can also increase your income; it's definitely the best of both worlds.

Although I like it, but now I really don't like the Soviet aircraft carrier. Even before the collapse of the Soviet Union, this thing was impossible to complete. When the brothers split up, the investment of outsiders will be lost.

As for the current one, the future belongs to Russia. No matter how brave you are, you can't **** the aircraft carrier from the opponent. As for the second ship, it is even more impossible to meddle. Therefore, the Soviet aircraft carrier or large warship is still considering after the real disintegration.

It is simply impossible to build a strong navy simply by purchasing naval ships. Weapons and equipment are one aspect, and talent is the top priority. Fucaira itself has a population of less than 30,000. Even if you add the employees of Heiyun Group in the past, there are not many. Moreover, the security personnel of Heiyun are basically from the army; wanting them to start the warship and fight the enemy is tantamount to a dream.

When warships and submarines go into service, you will find that there are not so many soldiers and officers in control; you will be laughed at by then. People can wait for equipment, but never let equipment wait for people.

As it happens to be in the Soviet Union, it would be better to recruit some military personnel. Although the Soviet Navy, in addition to submarine soldiers, other aspects are still worse. But at this point in time, we absolutely dare not use retired soldiers from Europe and the United States. If that were the case, they would certainly not fight hard once the war came.

Keeping too many unstable factors around; especially in the military, is no different from courting death.

As for retired Soviet soldiers, perhaps the same will be true. But after a few years, the country ceased to exist; who else could they pledge allegiance to but Fucaira.

And the Soviet soldiers are very good, maybe the technical level is not as good as that of the American soldiers; but the courage is definitely not bad, even stronger. UU Reading As long as the benefits are good enough, if they take over their family members, they will definitely sacrifice their lives for you.

Call Zhang Zhan, who is far away in the United States, and let him communicate with the Americans. It is hoped that soldiers can be sent to study in advance, and Fucaira can provide corresponding tuition fees. And in order not to irritate the Americans, there is not even a Soviet person. Either a native of Fucaira or the security personnel of the former Heiyun Group. Of course, now they are all from Fucaira.

At the same time, he also asked Little Ustinov for help, hoping that he could help recruit retired Soviet Navy soldiers; at least he could be proficient in controlling warships and submarines. At the same time, some personnel were dispatched from the Middle East; the navy is a technical branch that needs systematic study. It is believed that in three years, they should become a qualified officer or soldier.

Weapons are already being built and personnel are being trained; I believe that in three years, the Soviet Union will disintegrate. If Americans want to move the Black Cloud Group, they should also think about it. And by that time, there will be something from the Soviet Union that can give the United States a huge deterrent; this has been thought of, and it must be resolutely implemented.

The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest have been the same since ancient times. Many countries in the Middle East have wealth, but they do not have the ability to protect it. For this, Bao Zixuan will definitely not appoint. Only by constantly strengthening oneself and having a strength to the extent that any major country is afraid of it can it be the safest. Let others protect you, and in the end, you may die worse than anyone else, and you will never do stupid things.
