Chapter 156 Control Technology Transactions

"The movements of the Soviets are not clear for the time being, and it is natural for them to react in any way, and the relationship between the two large countries next to each other is already tense. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Such an obvious military move by China has already disrupted the strategic balance between the two countries, and any reaction of the Soviet Union is expected, and we are not afraid of them as long as we are prepared. "The eldest brother is also engaged in the military industry, and he can get the most first-hand information about international political and military changes.

"Disrupting the strategic balance? It is as if China has already modernized its military, and our country's military expenditure is not as much as that of a military district of the Soviet Union, and it can barely support its façade by selling high technology in exchange for military aid from the United States. If Maozi refuses to let us go, when the Soviet Union reaches the day of bad luck, we will be ten times more murderous than the Americans. The Americans just want to bring down the Soviet Union, but we want to devour and chew the Soviet Union, and there is not even a bone residue left. Chen Xu's nose was spewing hot air, not angry, as his status became higher and higher, he felt more and more that the whole world was making enemies of China, and his spirit was particularly depressed.

Chen Xu didn't like this kind of day when he had to look at the faces of other countries, and the Americans used China to attract the firepower of the Soviet Union and used China as cannon fodder. The Soviets, however, sensed the threat and vigorously increased their forces on the border in response, as if China had strengthened its armament in order to fight and regain the Far East. The increased military pressure of the Soviets is fatal to China's economic development, and how can foreign capital dare to invest in a country that will be attacked by the Soviet Union at any time? All the hot money in the world has run away, preventing people from getting rich is like killing parents, and this behavior of the Soviet Union is blocking the financial path of the Chinese family.

In the face of this invisible huge loss, Chen Xu will definitely retaliate, and he will not let the Soviets know ten years later that the consequences of offending the Chinese family are not just as simple as destroying the country!

"Xiao Wu, you are talking big again, the Soviet Union is so strong, it's okay if people don't come to chew and eat you, you still want to leave all the bones and slag that people eat, and your arrogance is boundless." The eldest brother shook his head and said that this was a bit too much, that in the eyes of people in this era, the Soviet Union was a behemoth, and it would continue like this, only a madman would think that it would fall apart, even the Americans did not think so.

"Can't you curse once! Maybe it will work. Chen Xu knew that he was speechless, and it was better to say less about this kind of leaking of heavenly secrets, so he hurriedly used an excuse to prevaricate the past.

"I heard that the Americans also sent a nuclear-powered cruiser, which is a nuclear-powered warship, a masterpiece of military violence aesthetics." The eldest brother remembered the photo of the warship he had seen in the newspaper and exclaimed

"The Long Beach was just an experimental ship of the US imperialists twenty years ago to verify the feasibility of an all-nuclear fleet, and such a cost proved to be too great to be as economical as a gas turbine. The Long Beach is said to be a missile cruiser, but in fact it can only perform the air defense tasks of the aircraft carrier fleet, and the anti-ship capabilities are not strong. The 'Brass Knight' missile it carried was also outdated for a long time, and it was indeed advanced enough at the time, but it is not good now, and if it encounters the Soviet Navy at sea, it can only be hanged and beaten. Why do you think the Americans gave us this warship so generously, it is nothing more than throwing it over as garbage. Chen Xu poured a basin of cold water on his eldest brother, don't be blinded by nuclear power, the warships of twenty years ago can no longer adapt to the naval battles of this era.

In 1964, the U.S. imperialists ambitiously used an all-nuclear-powered fleet consisting of the Bainbridge nuclear-powered cruiser, the nuclear-powered cruiser USS Long Beach, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Enterprise to travel around the world.

In the face of the Granite long-range anti-ship missiles that the Soviet Navy smashed over like that, the US imperialists had to develop the Aegis system to deal with it. The strongest spear and the strongest shield have never really been opposed, and there is no point in fighting with data alone, if you can actually test it to see who is stronger.

Chen Xu felt that among the warships of the same era, even if the US imperialist Aegis had strong information-based capabilities, if it could not achieve 100% interception of missiles, the probability of being sunk was very high. Not to mention that the granite can also carry a nuclear warhead, even if it is not directly hit by a shot at close range, it is very obvious whether the US imperialist aircraft carrier fleet will still have combat effectiveness under the impact of the electromagnetic pulse.

Long Beach is indeed advanced for China, because China simply cannot build such a large ship now, and even the already backward nuclear reactor in it is a technology that China does not have.

Of course, the Americans saw that China had Alpha and nuclear-powered submarines and obtained the most advanced nuclear reactor technology from the Soviet Union, so they generously sent the Long Beach over, otherwise even if it was a backward reactor in Long Beach, it would not be a technology that China could develop in a short period of time.

The Long Beach is already very backward, and the Soviet fleet is purely a meritorious cargo, which is also the latest nuclear-powered Kirov-class cruiser of the Soviet Union, with a full load of 25,000 tons, and more than 400 missiles on it, of course, most of them are used for air defense, and there are 20 Granite anti-ship missiles, which are enough to deal with the Long Beach.

One has to admire the preference of the Soviets for huge warships, the firepower of the Kirov-class cruisers is as strong as battle cruisers, and if the country does not fall, it is difficult to imagine how far they will develop heavy cruisers.

This kind of warship with powerful firepower meets the requirements of the Chinese Navy, and a single combat patrol can control a large area of the sea, and its air defense capability can ensure its own survival.

Chen Xu has always believed that the money-burning goods of the aircraft carrier fleet are a product of US imperialism's global hegemony and control. Although the United States can deter the whole world at any time, it cannot be denied that such a large fleet is also a heavy burden on US imperialism. It is enough to have two or three aircraft carriers to maintain a strategic projection capability to the whole world, and to build a dozen or so aircraft carriers like the US imperialists, it seems to be majestic to wander around the world, and all the military expenditures every year are eaten up by these fleets.

But the real power is also to bully small countries, and it is not difficult for a big country to sink an aircraft carrier, otherwise the US military will not all retreat to the second island chain under the threat of Dongfeng missiles, and the aircraft carrier will only dare to symbolically walk around the South China Sea. In a truly fierce confrontation, the US imperialists will never dare to lay out their old foundations within the scope of the first island chain, and if they are sunk by China, they can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs, and the US imperialists do not have the courage to fight a nuclear war.

For China, it is more cost-effective to spend more money on space, the future of mankind is in space, and no matter how good the aircraft carrier fleet is, it will not be able to stop the lead ingots thrown from space.

As for the Long Beach, Chen Xu will modernize and upgrade it in the future, and transform this cargo into a marine arsenal like the Kirov class, which will definitely last for more than ten years to dissipate heat for China's coastal defense. In the future, if it is decommissioned, it can also be allocated to the fishery administration as a patrol boat, which is enough to clean up the Philippine monkeys and Vietnamese monkeys.

"You just have a big heart, the Long Beach is less than the top, but it is more than the bottom, and there are not many countries in the world that can beat this nuclear-powered cruiser. We can't always compare with the Soviet Navy, because other people's technology is so advanced, of course we can't surpass them now. When we digest the design experience of the Long Beach, we can naturally build a better warship, and it is better to have a ready-made one than to start from scratch. Chen Weiguo accused his younger brother of being too ambitious and unrealistically wanting to take a bite and become a fat man.

"Our level of science and technology and weapons and equipment are too far behind the Soviets, I really don't know when we will be able to catch up!" Chen Xu turned his head to look at the bright moonlight outside the window, the clouds below were illuminated snow-white, like a soft carpet, and the transport plane made a rumbling sound from above.

"At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, we had nothing, and we still fought together, and the military flags of the US imperialist polar bear regiment are now placed in our museum! Why is it that now we have the most advanced aircraft and artillery, the best aircraft carriers and warships, but we are more timid? The eldest brother clasped his arms and expressed his incomprehension of Chen Xu's pessimistic attitude at this time, excessively exaggerating the military strength of the Soviet Union, and worshipping the modern weapons and equipment of the West.

"At that time, the feet were not afraid to wear shoes, and now that we have a big business, can we still be like before? In the past, we could be satisfied with a piece of land to survive, but now we have to live a better life and live a life of abundant food and clothing, if there is no strong force, how can we ensure that the wealth in our hands will not be coveted by powerful countries? Chen Xu attaches great importance to the importance of force to the country, and later Saudi tyrants are extremely rich in selling oil, but they have to pay protection money to the United States every year to buy expensive American-style equipment after the price increase. And the funniest thing is that Saudi Arabia, which has the most advanced American-style equipment, can't even defeat the rebels in Yemen, and finally falls into the quagmire, which makes the world see a big joke, which is better than the national army of the United States back then.

"In short, you are justified, as you said, the military technology given by the Americans is outdated, while the high technology we have taken in the past is the most advanced, and if this kind of transaction is carried out too much, we will only suffer more and more losses, you yourself must grasp the square inch, don't give everything to the Americans, and it will only be us who will suffer in the end." Chen Weiguo knew that it didn't make sense, his younger brother was an assertive person, and he made up his mind that he couldn't pull back ten cows, so he could only exhort him to pay attention to military balance and not let the United States be too advanced in science and technology, because once even the Soviets couldn't catch up, the hegemonism of US imperialism would spread to every country in the world, and China would inevitably suffer at that time.

"I know that this trip to the United States is the last large-scale technology transaction, and if there is no special need in the future, I will not easily use technology to replace American-style weapons and equipment." Chen Xu nodded, and listened to the words of the eldest brother.

He also knows that the United States is the biggest threat to China's rise, and excessive technology transactions with Americans will eventually be countered to China, so it is time to end this behavior of overdrawing the country's future. (To be continued.) )
