Qi Zhiyuan looked at Xie Kai and didn't know what to say for a while.

He really wanted to tell Xie Kai that the F-14 that was exchanged for must not be lost, otherwise it would never be possible to get it again.

It is impossible for the Americans to supply the F-14, and even if they do, the price is not acceptable to the 404, otherwise the country will buy it back.

"Uncle Qi, I always feel that we are engaged in aircraft carriers, and now is not the right time. Xie Kai still said this, "We don't have enough funds. It's too far off. For the sake of aircraft carriers, carrier-based aircraft have to be ......"

"The relevant departments of the Navy will also cooperate, and we are not alone. Qi Zhiyuan has always felt that Xie Kai is boycotting the aircraft carrier project, although he said that he agreed with words, and he didn't care much about the F-14, so he knew that he didn't like the aircraft carrier.

"How much money can the Navy pay?" Xie Kai laughed miserably, "Yun Shi has not had any orders until now, if it continues, will I continue to buy planes and fly them out of my own pocket? Or will we buy them at the base? I don't need ...... at all?"

"The difficulties are only temporary. Qi Zhiyuan said with little confidence.

This is the end of the conversation between the two.

Xie Kai decided that no matter how they went to get an aircraft carrier or something, they would honestly go back to school, and the final exam would not be long away.

Zheng Yucheng and others all felt that it was safer for the fighter to return from Persia and go to Pakistan, but it was not easy to communicate with Pakistan, and they had to pass through too many air defense radar stations all the way.

Pakistan and Persia are also not very good, and there are also frictions on the border.

There are even many people in Pakistan in the United States, and the Chinese side has obtained the F-14, and it must not let the American imperialists know.

Wang Guilin introduced the conditions for communicating with Hazari, basically the Persians agreed to the conditions of exchanging the J-7 for the F-14, the Chinese side gave the ground red flag missile transformation technology, and the Persians provided all the spare parts of their scrapped F-14 and the technical data that they had studied over the years to the Chinese side.

This is an extremely beneficial benefit for both parties.

Of course, Persia also demanded that after the Chinese side came up with it, it would give priority to providing spare parts to the Persians.

They also did not ask for technology sharing with the Chinese side, which is quite kind.

"The Soviet army in Afghanistan has been operating there for so long, and the air defense of the Soviet army in Afghanistan is mainly concentrated in the area near Pakistan in the south, and the area bordering Persia in the west does not have much defense, just a few posts on ......the ground," Xie Kai said.

"The mercenary group mainly operates in the northeast region...... Wang Guilin reminded Xie Kai.

"No, there is also business in the southwest region. Xie Kai said, "Specifically, you can contact Liao Dong, and then formulate it after communicating with them, I have to go to school anyway." ”

After Xie Kai finished speaking, he was about to get up and leave.

Whether it is signing this large-scale arms sales contract with Ibrahim, or secretly signing a deal contract with Hazari for J-7 for F-14, there is nothing for him.

If you don't go back to school, this final exam, you don't have to think about it, you will fail the course.

If he doesn't know, he will become the first student to be dismissed since the founding of Huaqing University.

"Xie Kai, you wait. Zheng Yucheng stopped Xie Kai. "You don't support the aircraft carrier project?"

"Uncle Zheng, you have wronged me. Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, not knowing what kind of evil the old guy was against, "Aren't we preparing for the aircraft carrier." ”

"Don't talk about this, you didn't agree at the beginning, but now that you get the F-14, you have channels on your side, but you don't need it, you have to take the Afghan adventure ......," Zheng Yucheng said unhappily. "Tell me, what do you think? Isn't naval equipment important?"

The others just sat and watched, and the tea drinkers drank the tea, and the smokers smoked as if they had nothing to do with them.

Xie Jianguo wanted to give Xie Kai a look, but Wang Guilin glared at him, and he could only light a cigarette handed over by Qi Zhiyuan and look at the poplar trees outside the window that had begun to lose their leaves.

looked at Zheng Yucheng, and then looked at the other people secretly looking at themselves, knowing their thoughts.

For the first time, he was against a project in this way.

"Naval equipment is important. Xie Kai said calmly, "But we can't just throw money into it because it's important." Our 404 so far can be said to be completely due to a variety of coincidences...... If there was no Iran-Iraq war, even if we had made 359 tanks, we would have barely made enough food and clothing to feed more than 30,000 people in the entire base......"

"I know what everyone thinks, more than 10 billion funds, deposited in the bank, and the interest can be more than 2 billion a year, I think we have enough funds, and we want to meddle in any project...... " Xie Kai knew what they thought.

He himself had the same idea.

The 404 project involves many basic research fields, such as materials, heat treatment technology, welding technology, machinery manufacturing and other advanced technology research fields......

The overall project, from the army's tanks and armored vehicles to fighters and transport planes in the aviation field, to missiles and rocket artillery in the aerospace field, has now begun to extend its hands to the navy's equipment projects.

If it was just a missile destroyer, Xie Kai would not have objected to this.

As soon as it came up, it was a special aircraft carrier.

If you have an aircraft carrier, you have to have carrier-based aircraft, AWACS aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, and long-range air defense radars, right?

With an aircraft carrier, to go to sea, you have to have an escort battle formation, a supply fleet, and even a nuclear submarine with underwater protection, right?

How long can a conventional submarine keep up with the waves of the aircraft carrier?

I haven't been out for a few days, so I have to go back to my nest to refuel, otherwise I will lie on my stomach.

Not to mention that aircraft carriers are involved in too many fields, even the power system and basic materials are not something that can be done with a little money.

Everything costs money.

We can only wait, and when the country's technology has accumulated enough and there is money, we can do it again.

If you do it now, you have to pay most of the funds for 404.

More than 10 billion, is it enough?

"We can't afford to waste any more time. If you don't do it now, it will only be a bigger gap with foreign countries......" Zheng Yucheng heard Xie Kai's words full of resentment, and muttered, "You can find a way to deal with money." ”

"Think of a way? What do you think? The Iran-Iraq war is about to end, and Silly Damu doesn't want to fight anymore, and he is short of money!" Xie Kai said angrily, "Do you expect weapons of this scale to be sold in the future?" Don't even think about it. ”

"Don't we still have projects in the civilian field? Wait a few more years, and the profits will come up, and the mechanical engineering plant in Jiayuguan will be put into operation after the year. Xie Jianguo also comforted his son.

"How much can we do in a year? In the civilian field, the profits are far less high than those of military products, and in the short term, how much can we make in a year? Once the aircraft carrier is deployed, the amount of funds needed will be huge. "Xie Kai didn't know.

According to his plan, Varyag would have to wait another six or seven years for him to come back, no matter how soon he came.

At that time, the Yun-10 should be able to support itself, and the fighter project can also begin to recover R&D funds, and the domestic technical level has accumulated to a certain extent.

Drag the Varyag back and continue to build, it is quite possible to have an aircraft carrier for the Navy before entering the XXI century.

Carrier-based aircraft can be purchased from Da Mao, and the power system can be secretly retrieved from Ermao's hands, and then improved while researching.

But now, everything has to start from scratch.

Materials, large cranes, 100,000-ton docks and everything else needs to be done.

No money, get a ball!

"Xie Kai, your idea is right. Wang Guilin nodded, "We do have too many projects. ”

"It's not just that it's too much, it's that there is simply no sufficient technical reserves! Xie Kai is most worried about this problem, "There are too many projects, once there is a problem in the capital chain, eventually, all projects will be affected......

This issue has been discussed a lot during this time.

There is not much planning for the entire base, as long as the funds on hand currently allow, it will be launched.

And there are not too many that really produce results.

"You don't forget that behind us stands the whole country. Zheng Yucheng reminded Xie Kai, "If it's just one of us, no matter what, it is impossible to support it." ”

"Do you think that we are digging people so badly, without the acquiescence of our superiors and the aftermath, 404 can develop to the current level?" Xie Jianguo also spoke, "The army needs to be patient, and national defense construction cannot be stopped." We have tens of billions of dollars in our hands, and if we don't spend it, what do you think will happen in the end?"

Xie Kai was silent.

It's not that he doesn't know, but if he does it like this, the pressure of capital demand will make people crazy.

"We all know how much money is needed. But we can't stop doing it because we're stressed. The army, air force, and navy are all important components of our national defense. China's suffering is from the sea......" Wang Guilin sighed, "Xie Kai, look at this photo." General Liu hopes that when you have time, go and meet him......"

Xie Kai took the photo, and the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning.

In the photo, a short old man dressed without a military rank is standing on tiptoe and sticking his head out to look at the aircraft carrier facility next to a US pilot......

"If China doesn't engage in aircraft carriers, I won't turn a blind eye!"

The old man's words echoed in Xie Kai's mind.

"That's why we're building aircraft carriers. Only when the aircraft carrier program is launched, can the missile destroyers and frigates of the escort group speed up the progress...... And we don't have a clear time to build an aircraft carrier, and we don't mention how long it will take to build it......," Zheng Yucheng said sonorously, "The country has no money and no energy to build it now." Anyway, sooner or later, I will do it, and I will also encounter these problems in the future......"

"Okay, let's do it......" Xie Kai didn't want to listen to it.

Everyone knows the truth.

Not enough money!

Not counting the cost of technology research and development, now an aircraft carrier formation will cost tens of billions.

Where to make money?

He didn't have any confidence anyway.

"Think it out for yourself. Wang Guilin was not reluctant.

Xie Kai still didn't speak.

The entire base, all the projects, the future consumption of funds is not a small amount, especially the informatization, for the entire 404, is a weakness.

Can't help but continue to develop, isn't it?
