Chapter 323: How Should the Fat Sheep Delivered to the Door Be Slaughtered and Eaten?
As the saying goes, nothing is left to the Three Treasures Palace.
Yang Weiping would never have thought that the newly promoted US Army Quasi-Soldier, the principal person in charge of the US side of the Sino-US Joint Military Base, would go all the way from Gui Province to the capital to chat with him without any trouble.
The Coast Guard has been formally formed, but the ships that patrol and patrol the coast guard have not yet been put in place.
The Navy's 051-class guided missile destroyers and 053H-class missile frigates are all new ships that were successfully built in the 70s, adding up to less than 20 in total, and the Navy's East China Sea Fleet, South China Sea Fleet, and North Sea Fleet are not enough, and it is certainly impossible to have excess equipment for the coast guard.
Besides, there is no need for the Coast Guard ships to install such powerful offensive firepower.
To start design and manufacture again, it is definitely necessary to do it, but now it is a bit too late in terms of time.
With the naval battle to regain Nansha imminent, the implementation of the South China Sea strategy will also be followed by multi-party deployment, and both the navy and the coast guard need to play an important role in the South China Sea strategy.
The most important characteristics of the ships equipped for the coast guard are warships with long endurance, strong self-sustaining power, fast speed, and large decks. THE FIREPOWER DOES NOT NEED TO BE TOO LARGE, IT IS ENOUGH TO HAVE A NAVAL GUN UNDER 100MM AND A 25MM GUN.
For such a ship, it doesn't matter if it lags behind in terms of technology and equipment for the time being. The key is to get such a batch of ships back first, so that the coast guard can carry out patrol training and conduct maritime law enforcement.
After thinking about it, Yang Weiping's eyes were fixed on the missile frigates and light missile destroyers that the US Navy and the British Navy were about to be decommissioned or had already decommissioned.
Bruce Willie saw General Yang sitting there without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something, and after almost half an hour had passed, and he didn't see the other party speak, he couldn't help but sit still.
As Yang Weiping guessed, Bruce Willie made a special trip to the capital to find him this time, and there was indeed something, and it was not small.
With the N05 Sino-US joint military base a number of cooperation projects smoothly launched. The US military conducted an open-minded investigation and investigation of some of China's military industrial enterprises that can be opened to the United States.
I don't know if I don't know the road, but I'm really shocked when I see it.
Huaxia's precision machine tools and precision machining technology capabilities are far more advanced and powerful than the United States expected.
What made the US delegation even more unbelievable was that. In the research, improvement and production process of military special steel and ship steel, some specifications and models of steel have even surpassed the best ship steel in the United States.
The only thing that makes the US side feel relieved is that the scale of China's iron and steel enterprises is not large. The production capacity is limited, and Huaxia's technology and ability in the manufacture of large ships are still relatively backward, and there is a big gap with the United States.
But. Shipbuilding, this world is not only the United States can build, the United Kingdom, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Netherlands and other European countries are very developed shipbuilding. As long as the Chinese government is willing to cooperate with these countries in the production process of high-strength and easy-to-weld low-alloy ship steel that they have just developed, the major shipyards in Europe will definitely have to cry and cry out for help.
For a long time, the U.S. government has been using HY80, HY100 and HY130 series of military special steels as strategic materials with strict embargo. Who ever thought of Huaxia and saw it, only to know that they Americans thought they were precious military special steel. The fact that the Chinese people planned to export it as ordinary steel was very low, which really frightened all the people in the US delegation.
The generals of the Pentagon immediately held urgent consultations on the situation. In the end, a consensus was reached, and the Chinese government must be persuaded not to supply their military special steel and ship steel to the whole world. Otherwise, it will certainly pose a potential threat to US national security and global maritime strategy.
What makes the Pentagon's Navy bosses most depressed is that the Chinese have achieved mass production of the kind of high-strength and easy-to-weld ship steel they named themselves TQYH78, which not only has high strength, but also has high toughness and seawater corrosion resistance, and its comprehensive performance has surpassed the current best HY130 steel in the United States.
In addition, this kind of TQYH7878 steel of Huaxia people has realized the upgrading from die casting to continuous casting supply, expanded the range of plate thickness specifications, and realized the advanced technology of full thickness and equal strength matching, which improves the structural safety of ships, effectively reduces the weight of the structure, greatly shortens the production cycle, and can be widely used in the construction of naval ships. All hull materials of the Huaxia Navy can be upgraded anytime and anywhere.
If anyone tells them that the Chinese people's iron and steel metallurgy skills are not good, the Pentagon generals will definitely spray him with spit in his face now!
According to the intelligence, the reason why China's iron and steel enterprises can achieve a comprehensive industrial technology upgrade is that Dr. John Yang, who is respected by scientists all over the world as the father of the nano era, has played an important role. It is said that these special steels and ship steels are all used in rare earth elements, and they all call them rare earth steel.
The main purpose of the current research on rare earth steel applications in the United States is to reduce harmful impurities in steel and improve the purity of steel. In the mid-70s, American steel companies began to study the mechanism and role of rare earths in steel.
In recent years, with the optimization of the steel smelting process in the United States and the continuous improvement of the level of steel refining technology, in the case of high-purity molten steel, the impurities are greatly reduced, and the harm to steel products is reduced.
Americans could never have imagined that the research and application of rare earth steel by the Chinese people have not only achieved a series of results, but also left the United States behind in this regard.
President Carter is really very wise! The establishment of diplomatic relations with China and the multi-faceted military cooperation have really benefited us Americans a lot!
The Pentagon generals are secretly sighing, and at the same time, they are also pondering whether they should continue to support Carter's re-election as president of the United States in the next round of the presidential election.
By letting China's iron and steel enterprises open for the US imperialists to visit, Yang Weiping can sing the ode to the friendship between China and the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, he can spread the strategic value of rare earth steel through the hands of the US imperialists.
As far as the sieve-like intelligence network of US imperialism is concerned, as long as the US imperialists know what to do, the Soviet Union will certainly be able to obtain relevant intelligence information immediately.
As long as the United States and the Soviet Union begin to pay attention to the value of rare earths, Quack Quack, Yang Da Scientist will make a fortune.
As a major rare earth country with 80% of the world's rare earth resources, Huaxia will not worry about using foreign exchange reserves if it exports a little rare earth at a high price.
Even if the United States imperialism and Western countries push the price of rare earths to the lowest point in the international market, Yang Weiping is not worried.
If we can't reach our ideal price, we can't take out a gram. Anyway, you can collect as many rare earths as you want, since you don't have to worry about its volatilization and loss, you don't have to worry about it rotting and deteriorating.
Yang Weiping did this for only one purpose, to let all countries in the world know that if you want to engage in military special steel and ship steel, you have to use rare earths.
"General Yang, since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, the United States and China have carried out extensive cooperation in many fields of civilian and military affairs, and so far, all the cooperation has been very pleasant. Bruce Willie finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to say: "We are deeply touched by the creative thinking of Chinese people. General Yang, China's navy hopes to have in-depth cooperation with your country's iron and steel enterprises in terms of military special steel and ship steel. ”
"What?" Yang Weiping was pondering how to get some decommissioned frigates and light destroyers from the British Royal Navy and the US Navy, and for a moment he didn't hear what Bruce Willy had just said.
This cunning Huaxia general must have been deliberately pretending to be confused. Bruce Willie took a deep breath and said with a very solemn face: "My country hopes to introduce all the techniques and processes of the TQYH78 ship steel produced by Baotou Steel in your country!"
"Hahaha, Brigadier General Willy, you haven't eaten yet, have you? After Yang Weiping heard this, he immediately reported and reported him one by one.
Shell, Farke, Farke, Bruce Willy roared in his heart, but he didn't dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face. He knew that the youngest general in China in front of him was deliberate.
"General Yang, on behalf of our government and the U.S. Navy, I solemnly hope to introduce a full set of techniques and craftsmanship of TQYH78 high-strength and easy-to-weld special ship steel from your country!" Bruce Willie said again with a particularly solemn expression.
"Haha, the climate in the capital is really bright and sunny in spring!" Yang Weiping is not afraid of making the new Brigadier General of the US Army in front of him so angry that he vomits blood, he just wants to let him know that Lao Tzu is very, very resentful.
Bruce Willie took several deep breaths in succession before suppressing the chagrin and anger in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "General Yang, I apologize to you for being rude before. We can't give you the Kitty Hawk class carriers. However, China's shipbuilding enterprises can carry out technical exchanges and cooperation with your country's shipyards. ”
"Brigadier General Wiley, I think, you should know that our TQYH78 steel is more strategic value than your HY80, HY100, and HY130 series of special military steels that are strictly embargoed and blocked!" Yang Weiping put away his smile and said with the same seriousness:
"Since the fifties, your US government has listed HY80 and HY100 steel as strategic materials with a strict embargo, and has imposed a technical blockade on many developing countries. Just because, this type of military special steel is the best steel for manufacturing military ships.
In my eyes, YQYH78 steel has a wide range of dual-use value than Y2013 aluminum-lithium alloy and DZ78H nickel-based single crystal alloy. Therefore, I would like to know, what kind of chips are you going to use to exchange with our country at an equivalent price?" )
