Chapter 536: The Storm is Coming
In order to build an aircraft carrier that can be used in actual combat, the catapult device is a very critical technical problem.
At present, in addition to the United States and Britain having advanced and mature steam catapult manufacturing technology and technology, even the Soviet Union, which is known as one of the two hegemons in the world, has not been able to solve the difficulty of manufacturing aircraft carrier catapults.
The United States has made it clear that it will not provide China with any technical support for its ocean-going navy, and Britain has always worn the same underwear as the United States, and it has always been pushing back and obstructing this aspect of technology, and has not had a clear attitude.
After much deliberation, Yang Weiping finally decided to cooperate with the Soviet Union. After all, the level of the Soviet shipbuilding industry is also among the best in the world.
At the beginning, Yang Weiping bought the aircraft carrier Xiazhou from the British Royal Navy in the name of Panshi Security Company, and his fundamental purpose was to fall in love with the two modernized steam catapults equipped on this aircraft carrier.
The development of steam catapults for aircraft carriers is definitely a very large system project. With the current industrial level of China, it is impossible to overcome this problem independently. However, if the Soviet Union, which had the same urgent need, developed and improved a new steam catapult device that was a little more advanced, it was only a matter of time.
In the Soviet Union at present, the phenomenon of bureaucratic corruption has become a malignant tumor, and it is widespread and deep-rooted from the localities to the central government and from the government to the army. After more than 60 years of development, the national economy of the Soviet Union has long been in shambles.
Yang Weiping at the expense of exporting some high-end technology to the Soviet Union over the years. Under Karenia's unremitting operation, she has run a network of contacts covering the powerful forces of the party, government and military in the Far East of the Soviet Union. And successfully extended the business tentacles of Tiangong International Group into Siberia.
The wheels of history have rolled to the end of February 1982.
Britain and Argentina are in New York in the last round of formal negotiations before the Falklands War broke out.
Yang Weiping knows very well that this negotiation will not be fruitful at all, but will lead to a deterioration in relations between Britain and Argentina.
Out of its internal, diplomatic and economic needs, in order to safeguard its national dignity, national sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to completely eliminate the "cancer" of colonialism that had existed for a long time, Argentina decided to adopt "other forms", including military action, to end the armed rule of the British colonialists in the Falklands, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands, and began active preparations for war in the country.
Knowing that war would break out between Britain and Afghanistan, Yang Weiping certainly would not let the Rock Fleet have the opportunity to participate in the war with the British Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet.
He asked Qiu Fang to choose this time to sail the main ships of the Rock Fleet into the dock for overhaul and maintenance, so that the British government could not do anything about it. It is also possible to take this opportunity for shipbuilding experts from China and the Soviet Union to conduct a further in-depth analysis of the two steam catapults on the aircraft carrier Baron John Young.
The Soviet side had the technology to manufacture aircraft carrier catapults. Behaved very positively. For this reason, he did not hesitate to send a favor to Yang Weiping, no longer interfered in the internal affairs of Burma, and recognized the independence and legitimacy of the democratic autonomous government of Northern Burma.
This is not Lao Maozi's kindness. It's that they can't stop it now. In addition, the US government has taken the lead in making contact with the government in South Burma. And in the current century, the United States and the Soviet Union Cold War pattern. Whatever the Americans supported, the Soviets certainly opposed. As a result, the Soviet government could only watch the northern part of Burma fall into the hands of Sir Young Da. Otherwise. It is likely to push Sir Young into the arms of US imperialism.
The rift between Yang Weiping and the Huaxia government was naturally something that the Soviet top brass was happy to see. In addition, Yang Weiping has repeatedly demonstrated his "special friendship" to the Soviet people with practical actions over the years, and it is obviously not a wise move to offend Yang Weiping at this time.
As long as the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union do not make any big moves in Burma, Yang Weiping is confident enough to build Myanmar into a rock-solid "independent kingdom" before the end of the war in Afghanistan and the Iran-Iraq war!
Yang Weiping's large-scale aid project to the Democratic Autonomous Government of North Burma not only made Yang Xinru see his generosity and courage, but also made her feel the ambition of this man.
Although this man kept saying that he did not want to get involved in politics, Yang Xinru knew in his heart that he wanted to use Myanmar as a springboard to compete with the Chinese government.
He seems to want to use practical actions to prove to the whole world that the Huaxia government has made a mistake at the national strategic level by dismissing him from his post and abandoning him!
Now listening to Yang Weiping and Qiu Fang talk about cooperating with the Soviet Union to develop aircraft carrier steam catapults, how could Yang Xinru not guess that he would probably build an aircraft carrier battle group in Burma.
Yang ...... Yang Xian...... Sir Young. Yang Xinru was very entangled in what she called him, and she didn't know how to call him appropriately, "Tiangong Shidu Shipyard, can it really produce and manufacture aircraft carriers?"
Yang Xinru asked curiously, Yang Weiping was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Girl, have you ever seen an aircraft carrier?"
"I've seen it!" Yang Xinru nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Sister Fang took me on the aircraft carrier Baron John Yang! The feeling I felt at that time was very shocking! I found it hard to imagine that such a huge steel castle could actually float in the ocean and sail and fight. ”
"The development of industry and science and technology in human society can make many impossible possibilities. Yang Weiping said with a smile: "Tiangong Shidu Shipyard, in the next five years, will fully drive the shipbuilding industry chain in North Myanmar." At that time, we will be able to manufacture our own missile frigates, destroyers, submarines, amphibious dock transports, and other ships that are of the advanced level in the world today, but if we want to build aircraft carriers alone, we will need at least 20 years of accumulation of technology. ”
"Did you cooperate with the Soviet Union in the development of aircraft carrier steam catapults, did you want to use the Soviet Union's powerful shipbuilding industry to help us design and manufacture aircraft carriers?" Yang Xinru obviously has a soft spot for aircraft carriers, and no longer has the previous restraints.
"It's not impossible to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, but it's risky. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "The top priority in North Myanmar is not to build aircraft carriers, but to comprehensively improve the country's industrial base and system." Myanmar's industrial base is too weak, and the level of education and culture of the Myanmar people is too low. The only way to change this situation in a short period of time is to emigrate from mainland China. ”
Qiu Fang smiled and continued: "There are more than 60 million industrial workers in the Huaxia Continent who work in all walks of life in state-owned factories. The restructuring of state-owned enterprises being promoted by the Chinese government, coupled with the more than 30 million educated youths who have returned to the city, will produce tens of millions of laid-off workers and unemployed young people in mainland China. Wei Ping, if we can guide these laid-off workers and unemployed young people to immigrate to Northern Burma in a planned way, I believe that the Huaxia government will send you a certificate of merit. ”
"It's not easy to dig up the corners of socialism!" Yang Weiping laughed loudly: "However, laid-off workers will indeed be a major problem that the central and local governments in China will face next." ”
"Sir Young'......"
"Xinru, don't call Sir Sir Yet, you can call him Wei Ping like me, or you can call him Brother Wei Ping. Qiu Fang gently patted the back of Yang Xinru's hand with an ambiguous smile and helped her change her words, "Wei Ping has already nodded about the marriage, according to the customs of Northern Burma, you are now his person." ”
When Yang Xinru heard this, her face immediately turned red, and even her neck was full of red glow, and she lowered her head helplessly, never daring to look at Yang Weiping again.
"Sister Fang, don't embarrass her. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "This girl can be regarded as a good child of filial piety and general knowledge, she is still too young now, let's talk about it when she grows up." ”
"It's not small. Qiu Fang laughed jokingly: "In Myanmar, it is common for fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls to marry and have children, Xinru, don't you say?"
"Sister Fang......" Yang Xinru was shy and anxious, buried her face in Qiu Fang's arms, and was so anxious that she only stomped her feet.
"Tick bell bell!" Meng Shouzheng, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, had his mobile phone ringing.
Meng Shouzheng took out the Tiangong 8210 blue screen mobile phone that was exactly the same as the Nokia 8210 in the later generations, listened to it for a moment after connecting it, and immediately turned around to look at Yang Weiping, "Boss, Miss Ye called." ”
Yang Weiping stretched out his hand to take the phone, and said with a relaxed smile: "Qiaoqiao, it's me." ”
"Wei Ping, where are you now?"
"On the way back to Lishan Hot Spring Village. ”
"My grandfather has arrived in Chang'an. I guess I am looking for you to have something, I am now at Kai Tak Airport, and I will board the plane to fly to Chang'an in five minutes, if you have time, you will come to the airport to pick me up. ”
"When did your grandfather come to Chang'an?" Why didn't I hear any news beforehand?" asked Yang Weiping with a puzzled face.
"I flew over by special plane from the capital this morning, and I also received a call from my uncle after my grandfather arrived in Chang'an. Grandpa asked me to come to Chang'an. ”
"What time does your flight arrive at Xianyang Airport?"
"The normal arrival time is half past three in the afternoon. ”
"Okay, I'll pick you up at the airport then. ”
"Thank you, Wei Ping. See you at Xianyang Airport. ”
"Well, see you soon. ”
After hanging up the phone, Yang Weiping held the phone and played with it as if he was thinking about something.
"Wei Ping, I think that Xiao Qiao's grandfather suddenly left Beijing and came to Chang'an in person, which is probably related to Kissinger's appointment as your senior personal adviser. Qiu Fang analyzed thoughtfully on the side: "With Ye Shuai's identity, I think his old man is likely to represent the senior leaders of the Central Committee to find out your bottom." ”
"I know that the Central Committee will definitely react to Kissinger's visit to China. Yang Weiping nodded and said, "I just didn't expect that this time it would actually alarm Xiao Qiao's grandfather to come forward." ”
"Let Xiao Qiao's grandfather come forward, I don't want to make the relationship too stiff with you. Qiu Fang Zhengse said: "The establishment of the North Burma Democratic Autonomous Government is imminent, Yang Jiasheng, as the first leader of the government, came to Chang'an to meet with you for the first time, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that your current identity is no longer as simple as the chairman of Tiangong International Group." It can be said that you have already stood at the level of dialogue with the Huaxia government on an equal footing, and the future political orientation of the North Burmese regime is very important to the foreign policy strategy of the Huaxia government!"
