Chapter 157: The Sorrowful Warship (Fourth Update)
"In fact, I also want to help Lao Ma keep his project, not only for him, but also for our navy, the 531 ship was built according to the anti-aircraft missile frigate when the project was established, although there are many experimental properties, but the air defense ship is an air defense ship.
However, it is precisely because Lao Ma's ship-to-air missile project has been delayed that the 531 ship is still an artillery frigate, so that during the exercise the year before last, the 531 ship, which was supposed to be the core of the fleet's prevention and control, could only serve as a small subject such as perimeter vigilance and anchoring in port, which makes people sad to think about. ”
Professor Qin seemed to be a little dry-mouthed, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, but looking at the action, it seemed that the tea in the cup was bitter wine that was difficult to swallow, which made Professor Qin's handsome face become a little distorted.
Meng Jianye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, when he was repairing the 1143 tugboat stationed at Bolin Port the year before last, he had seen the 531 ship from a distance, and at that time, he only saw that the gun emplacements and the missile launchers behind were tightly covered by rainproof canvas, so he didn't think much about it.
After Professor Qin said this, Meng Jianye remembered that although the 531 ship was an air defense frigate, it didn't immediately have this lofty title as soon as it got out of the water.
However, after nearly 10 years of waiting and after three phases of the project, the radar, auxiliary artillery system, main artillery system, and ship-to-air missile system were gradually perfected.
In particular, the ship-to-air missile system, due to various reasons, has led to the slow progress of the project, and the development work has not been completed so far, and it will take another two years in history before it can be truly installed on the ship.
Since he had the advantage of foresight, Meng Jianye wanted to persuade Professor Qin not to worry, and wait for two years for ship-to-air missiles to come back to life.
But before he could speak, Professor Qin over there sighed heavily: "The 531 ship is quite good, but the most pitiful thing is his No. 2 ship, the 532 ship, which was hit by a strong typhoon within a few years of launching, and it was finally repaired, and it ran aground when entering the port, coupled with the lack of various equipment, resulting in a very bad state in the past two years, if the ship-to-air missile still can't be taken out, I estimate that in a few years, a good air defense frigate platform will have to be completely scrapped!"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Jianye swallowed them as soon as he came to his lips, and anyone who knows a little about the Navy knows that the 532 ship has created a navy first, that is, the capital ship with the shortest service time in the navy.
As the No. 2 ship of the Type 053K frigate, it has been like a curse since the day it was built, and it is so sad that it should not be wanted.
On the one hand, the quality of shipbuilding in the field of shipbuilding declined during the special period, and on the other hand, it was also caused by the lack of maintenance of the naval officers and men at that time.
Today's 532 ships are rarely able to go to sea, if nothing else, in two years, this frigate carrying the dream of the Chinese Navy's air defense will be blown and hit the reef in a super typhoon, and finally completely damaged and scrapped.
Meng Jianye didn't have any comments on this, but the next moment, his eyes lit up.
"Uh...... Professor Qin, do you see if there is such a possibility, if we concentrate some forces to sell the 532 ships that have been suspended as foreign trade ships......"
Meng Jianye's words were not finished, because he saw that after hearing these words, Professor Qin, who had a gloomy face, was like returning to the light, and the whole person was in good spirits, but the next moment, it dimmed again, and he immediately shook his head: "This is impossible, foreigners are not stupid, so they may not know the situation of the 532 ship?"
"So it's a gimmick, and it's ...... That is, to buy something, it is like a dedicated anti-aircraft missile frigate, you must know that one anti-submarine and one air defense are tall things in the navy of a superpower, not to mention the navy of a small country.
Even sometimes you may not be able to buy it even if you have money, so as long as we set a reasonable price, some people will naturally rush to it, and the amount is ...... Professor Qin...... What's wrong with you? Why are your eyes so wide open? It can't be sick...... right?"
Meng Jianye was like a strange man who seduced children, revealing a little bit of some routines in the international arms market in his previous life, and he directly heard Qin Wentong's eyes straighten, and Meng Jianye was so frightened that he thought that Professor Qin was overthinking and suddenly ......
Fortunately, Meng Jianye shook his hand, and Professor Qin reacted, first nodding excitedly: "Your method is very good." Then there was a frown and entanglement: "It's just that it's just doing this, isn't it too tricky?"
Finally, he sighed with a troubled face: "Lao Ma's missile is still close to being finalized, if this is ordered by the foreign one, can they have the patience to wait for the missile?"
Meng Jianye's face was also a little confused by Professor Qin's rapid change, and he said in his heart that this person had to be entangled in order to have such a contradictory expression.
But no matter how Professor Qin changes, Meng Jianye, who is well versed in the military trade routines of his previous life, directly waved his hand: "Don't think about it so much, as long as the ship can be repaired and launched, and the missiles can go up and fire, as for the performance or something, it is a floating cloud, as for the buying countries are not satisfied, we don't want to help them improve, how to say that we have a conscience than the arms dealers of the Soviet Union, Europe and the United States." ”
"Uh...... If this is also called conscience, then I think everyone in the world is a good person!"
Professor Qin pondered for a long time, and held back such a sentence, almost didn't thunder Meng Jianye, okay, dare to feel that he has become the most unconscionable person, so he hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, okay, even if I didn't say anything just now, your conscience is very good, right?"
"What kind of attitude do you think you have? Shipbuilding should uphold quality first, how to ......"
"Yes, yes...... The booth in front of me is still cold, you sit down first, I'll go to the front to have a look!" As soon as he saw that Professor Qin was going to start a big class again, Meng Jianye immediately flashed.
Looking at Meng Jianye, who was running faster than a rabbit, Qin Wentong's face that had always been tense finally bloomed with a knowing smile.
……
In the evening, by the Pujiang River, the stars are shining brightly, and the shadow of the ship is still there.
Ma Zhenjiang looked at the night view on the river, couldn't help but close his eyes depressedly, picked up the wine bottle in his hand, and poured a big sip into his mouth.
The spicy wine burned the organs from the throat to the stomach, but it never soothed the pain in my heart.
Twenty years, a full twenty years, Ma Zhenjiang has paid his youth for it, and he has paid everything for it, but what he has received is only doomed to no result, let alone Ma Zhenjiang, anyone will find it difficult to accept.
"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow will become a trio!"
Unconsciously, tears flowed down his cheeks, but Ma Zhenjiang held the wine bottle and laughed at the moonless sky, and the people around him thought they had met a madman and avoided it.
However, just as Ma Zhenjiang was about to continue to go crazy, his assistant hurriedly ran over, and seeing that Ma Zhenjiang still wanted to continue drinking, he pressed his hand down and said urgently: "Researcher Ma, don't drink, the head of the unit told you to hurry over so that you can discuss the matter of ship-to-air missiles." ”
