Although the Tomahawk cruise missile is very advanced in this era, Chen Xu has technical drawings in his hand, which is not a secret to him, not to mention that the Changjian 10 cruise missile developed by the flower growers in later generations, with an effective range of 2500 kilometers, and the power is huge, and it can easily sink an American Ticonderoga cruiser.

But now, the biggest problem facing Chen Xu is not the problem of design drawings, but the lack of national industrial capacity and scientific and technological strength, which cannot be built at all. Even the most basic missile shell has a certain degree of technical difficulty, not to mention the guidance system and missile engine, all of which must be imported from the United States.

It has been less than a year since the outbreak of the war, and instead of tossing and turning like this, it is better to directly import finished missiles from the US imperialists, which will save time and effort.

The most important thing is that Chen Xu also needs to test the data link of these missiles and the national strategic center network, and after data matching, he can press the button in the imperial capital and launch the cruise missile at the missile position in the southwest.

The most important cruise missiles require satellite navigation and topographic maps as guidance, which is not available in the flower planters. In particular, with the current scientific and technological capabilities of the planters, they can also launch navigation satellites within a year, so they must rely on the US military satellite navigation system, so it will not be possible to import Tomahawks.

All of them use American technology, and in the end it will inevitably involve the issue of secrecy, how many missiles China has launched on the front line, what the target is, and the United States can get all the data in an instant, which is a very shameful thing for the flower growers.

But war is imminent, and the most important decapitation operations of cruise missiles and over-the-horizon strikes against important military targets cannot be carried out, so it can only borrow the technology of the Americans.

When the war is over, Chen Xu will stop using all Tomahawk missiles, and then the flower growers will redevelop their own cruise missiles according to Tomahawk technology, and the chips and navigation satellites in the sky are made by the Chinese themselves, so there is no need to worry about military secrets being mastered by other countries in the future.

At this stage, in order to win the war, for the time being, we will use the Americans!

The Americans were very hypocritical and refused to give up their technology on the grounds of secrecy, and Chen Xu decisively threw away a few design drawings. There are improvements to the Tomahawk missile, which were more advanced in later generations, and if the suggestions and ideas for these improvements are followed, the performance of the first generation of Tomahawks that General Electric entered service in 1983 can be doubled.

GE already had a large number of cooperation projects with Southern Heavy Industries Group, and they immediately accepted it after receiving the drawings. Knowing that Tomahawk missiles no longer have secrets in the eyes of the Chinese, it is better to obediently give the finished Tomahawk missiles to China, so that you can still make a lot of money.

According to Chen Xu's request, the United States will provide satellite navigation services for all Tomahawk cruise missiles sold to ensure that each missile can exert its final effect.

After all, this missile is one of the most important missiles built on US warships in the future, and if the launch system, logistics system, satellite guidance, and so on are all done, a large amount of military spending will be invested in it!

Even if the Americans have money, they cannot arbitrarily directly equip a large number of weapons that have not been tested in actual combat, in case it does not work in the time of war, such as poor accuracy and many failures, it will have a fatal impact on the combat strength of the US military.

Therefore, the US imperialists want to see the power of China's Tomahawk missiles after actual combat, and then decide whether to equip this weapon on a large scale, which can actually be regarded as mutually beneficial.

After all, in the war, how this missile is guided and how powerful it is, is all seen by our researchers, and I believe that we will soon be able to develop our own tactical cruise missile.

The secret of the Tomahawk missile is tantamount to being mastered by our army, at least this weapon is not a threat to the flower planters, unless the Americans completely update this missile, but this is no different from redeveloping a new missile.

In the end, the Southern Heavy Industries Group finally got a full set of design drawings for the Tomahawk, of course, only on paper, and the Yankees would not be so kind to provide production technology.

Besides, war is imminent, and the flower growers have no time to build a new factory to make missiles, so General Electric will make all the parts of the missiles and then fly them to China for assembly by the Southern Heavy Industries Group.

Because of the export of finished high-tech cruise missiles, those members of the US Congress will be crooked, and it may take three to five years to complete the process by going through the procedure, and this will be very troublesome. Therefore, GE can only export all missiles to China in the form of parts, because each individual part is not considered a weapon, so there is no legal obstacle.

With the help of the National Strategic Missile Research Institute, the Southern Heavy Industry Group successfully built its own missile manufacturing plant, and last year it was able to produce its own anti-aircraft missiles.

And the only problem with this missile factory is that when it was built, it did not expect to fight so quickly, so its scale is only a small pitiful dustless workshop, with an annual output of less than 100 pieces......

Such an annual output is more than enough for a country, after all, the shelf life of missiles is still very long, and the production of so many missiles every year can accumulate several hundred missiles in a few years, and it is more than enough to fight a high-intensity local battle.

Missiles are very expensive things, and if a country like China, which has not fought a war for 30 years, has a large stockpile of cruise missiles, these weapons will be wasted when they expire.

Although the cost of the Tomahawk cruise missile is the cheapest commodity in the missile family, it cannot stand the fact that it is a missile, and a shot is equivalent to a Rolls-Royce Phantom, if it can be hit out to kill the enemy's important facilities or leaders, it is worth the money, in case there is no war, it can only be scrapped at home, then it is called a loss to grandma's house.

For example, during the Cold War, in order to prevent the invasion of the Soviet Union, our army implemented the strategy of all the people as soldiers, according to the plan, everyone should have four grenades with wooden handles, and then hundreds of millions of such grenades were really produced.

This is also the reason why the Hua family's army is still using wooden-handled grenades, not because they are easy to throw to prevent rolling down the hill or the like, but because there are too many wooden-handled grenades in stock, don't think about changing to new equipment if you don't run out of stock!

The most striking example is the construction of the third line, when the pressure brought by the Soviet Union to the flower growers was too great, causing the imperial capital's judgment of the international situation to be somewhat too serious. A large number of military, machinery, chemical, precision electronic instrument and other factories were built in the deep mountains and old forests, and a large number of national elite talents and state financial expenditures were invested in this, which was not finished until 1980, which was equivalent to copying an industrial system of flower growers in the deep mountains.

It turns out that although such a project has created a lot of achievements, it has also caused a great deal of waste, except for those core projects such as aircraft, missiles, nuclear power research, hydropower stations, roads and railways, which can be preserved. After the marketization in the nineties, many third-line factories could not create profits at all, just a transportation is not convenient, the cost of material in and out of the logistics is much more expensive than the same industry in the coastal areas, and a large number of these factories have closed down, which has become an inevitable thing.

Of course, the existence of these third-line projects is also the confidence of the imperial capital to dare to fight a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, even if the big city of the flower planter was blown up, but the vast countryside still has a population, and there is a backup industrial system in the deep mountains and old forests, and when the world's nuclear bombs are finished, the flower planter can still quickly restore industrial capacity and reorganize a million army to launch a full-scale attack on Moscow.

Whether the benefits of the third-line construction will outweigh the disadvantages for the country, or whether the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, is very controversial, and no one can say clearly.

Chen Xu believes that the construction of the third line is a national combat readiness reserve and a must be done! From the perspective of a latecomer, we naturally think that it is a loss of money and labor, but in the Cold War years, the nuclear cloud hung over the head, and the flower planters did not dare to have a temporary luck mentality, and if a nuclear war really happened, they would regret it, so they could only endure hardships now and smash into one-third of the country's manpower and material resources to enrich national defense construction in a long period of more than ten years, so as to protect the flower planters from being bullied by the Western powers!

Therefore, if the Soviet Union is not eliminated for a day, the flower planters will be uneasy for a day! It was because of the existence of the Soviet Union that the flower growers had to invest a lot of wealth to replicate the industrial system in the mountains, which seriously lagged behind the economic development of the flower growers.

Sure enough, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the flower planter got rid of the big trouble, and finally did not have to put most of the country's resources on strategic reserves, and could engage in the economy with peace of mind, laying the foundation for the rapid rise of the country!

So unless it's particularly necessary, the safest way to do this is to produce a small amount of a weapon, just keep the production line running.

When there is a war that will determine the fate of the country, the country will also enter the war industry mode, and the factories will rapidly expand their production. Blindly producing weapons in large quantities in peacetime will only lead to a waste of national resources, and it is not cost-effective.

The problem that Chen Xu is encountering now is that although General Electric has manufactured the parts, the missile factory is only responsible for assembly. But there are too few workers even if it is simply assembled is still too busy, this high-precision cruise missile is not said to be like building blocks can be put together, must be experienced craftsmen very carefully to assemble, a little error missile hit rate will be greatly reduced, so a week to assemble one is already considered a high efficiency.

The person in charge of the missile factory told Chen Xu very clearly that even if the factory worked overtime to assemble it, it could only assemble less than 60 missiles at most before the war began.

60 missiles is not enough even for decapitation tactics, let alone the destruction of important military targets, government agencies, and various civilian core facilities in Vietnam. (To be continued.) )
