"No, General, in the beginning, we didn't think at all about buying battleships from any country, you should know that. The battleship has been proven to be a huge moving target in World War II, and in the face of the aircraft carrier battle group, the battleship should be sunk into the abyss of the seabed......" Liu Yijiu said solemnly.

This is proven in real combat.

Otherwise, the fleets of various countries would not use aircraft carriers as their main warships.

"However, carrier battle groups are simply too expensive. Not to mention that the cost of an aircraft carrier battle group exceeds the annual military expenditure of our country, and it is impossible for our country to afford the annual maintenance cost alone. We must contain the expansion of the USSR in the Asia-Pacific region. China has always pursued a defensive strategy, and the maritime aspect has adopted a coastal defense strategy, otherwise it would have begun to work ocean-going warships in recent years......"

And that's just the way it is.

"You don't develop a navy, it's not a problem with your strategy, right? As far as we know, the Chinese have a poor level of shipbuilding technology! "Connor. Donald interrupted Liu Yijiu's words with a sneer.

It's not that China doesn't want to have a powerful navy, it's that China doesn't have the technology to create the ocean-going warships that the ocean-going fleet says it needs.

The whole world knows that China's industrial level is not good.

"Hehe, General Connor, is that really the case? We may have difficulty building a 10,000-ton warship, but what about 6,000 tons, 7,000 tons? China's 051-class missile destroyers, with a displacement of almost four thousand tons, were designed and built in the early seventies. Ten years. We really can't build warships of larger tonnage? No, it's not that we don't have technology, it's that our country is too poor. I can't afford it at all! Liu Yijiu stressed to the Americans the fundamental reason for the weakness of the Chinese navy.

No money!

The Chinese government had no money to reform and open up.

"China has a larger population than any other country, and most of the people in our country can't even fill their stomachs, and the rural areas are struggling, so we can't go all out to develop the military industry like the Soviets, regardless of the people's food and clothing. Of course. If we had the same ambitions as the Soviet Union, we would have expanded them desperately. Historically, Chinese people have been peace-loving. As long as the people of the country can fill their bellies. We don't care about what happens abroad at all, otherwise, if you join forces with the Soviet Union to blockade us for decades, China will either cooperate with you. Or it will fall to the USSR......"

Another fact that has to be admitted.

As the director of the Strategic Fooling Bureau. Fooling must be based on facts.

Only in this way can people be more convincing.

Liu Yijiu's words made Mister hesitate a little.

It seems that China really did not desperately develop weapons and equipment and joined the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony.

"For the West, because of the different political systems and ideologies, we were natural allies of the Soviets. However, precisely because we do not want to be the sixteenth republic of the Soviet Union, we do not want our sovereignty to be interfered with. So we became enemies of the USSR again, and the USSR annexed a million on our borders. threatened our time for twenty years...... Our government only hopes to develop the economy well, solve the problem of food and clothing for our huge population, and at the same time let the people of the whole country live in a comfortable ...... If we talk about military development, I believe that the tanks and missiles exported on the battlefield in Iran have already explained the problems of our military industry, and even the most advanced tanks of the United States cannot occupy much advantage compared with our light tanks. Facts, you must admit! However, we only have technology, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, not a single Longwei tank is equipped, and this is still because the Chinese military lacks money! The Chinese government is short of money! ”

Liu Yijiu will not tell the Yankees that the Longwei 1 is not equipped with China, because they are not productive.

After the start of the strategy centered on economic construction, the country needs a large amount of foreign exchange if it wants to strengthen its ties with the United States and other Western countries and introduce Western technology to improve its domestic industrial strength and technological level.

In this era, China does not have too many things that can be exported.

There are not many industrial products that can be exported domestically, but the value of local products, minerals, handicrafts and other things is not high enough.

Therefore, for the sake of foreign exchange, the matter of the Chinese army's change of outfit was shelved.

It's right now to fool the Yankees.

Mister and Connor. The two Donald glanced at each other, and even the other Americans couldn't find any place to refute Liu Yijiu's explanation.

Chinese tanks are not much worse than theirs, this seems to have become a fact.

Moreover, the M1A1 tank, which was improved because of the opinions put forward by the Chinese and the suggestions of their domestic experts, was exported to Iraq in order to test their battlefield performance and combat strength in actual combat.

Thus making an accurate assessment of the M1A1 in the hands of the United States.

"Director Liu, can you tell us why your tank was able to make our M1 tank burn?" If we can get this information from Liu Yijiu, for the Americans, there will be no regrets in this trip to China.

What will the Chinese tell them?

Liu Yijiu's actions told Americans that the Chinese are very generous and selfless.

It is to go for common development.

"Your tank, according to our intelligence analysis, has shown that many parts of the load wheels and chassis, including the armor, are made of high-strength aluminum alloy. There is no problem in terms of strength, but when it encounters enough high temperature, it naturally has to melt......" Liu Yijiu did not have the slightest sense of secrecy. "The fact that our tank guns were able to melt your tanks was also an accident because of the shells made of a material that was tested on Iran......"

Liu Yijiu's answer made the Americans very satisfied.

Especially as a technical consultant for the XM1 tank project, Jim was shocked by this young man the last time he went to China.

Liu Yijiu had now told him why their tanks were so easily beaten to the ground, and he was curious to know what kind of shells were made of. I hope that the Chinese on the other side will be more selfless and disclose their technology to the United States......

Liu Yijiu was about to continue, but was interrupted by Li Rui beside him: "Director Liu, this involves our country's military secrets and the national defense and security of the entire country......

Li Rui's face was very serious, and his tone towards Liu Yijiu was also very cold.

This made the ardent hope of the hopeful Americans be destroyed by this coldness, and there is no trace of it.

"Uh......" Liu Yijiu scratched his head a little embarrassed, and quickly changed, "Let's continue to discuss the matter of curbing Soviet expansion in the South China Sea......

After secretly casting a good approving look at Li Rui, Liu Yijiu pulled the subject back again.

Easily told the other party, will the Americans be fooled so easily?

After all, there aren't many truly advanced technologies in China.

These can be used as hole cards.

If the Americans want to put depleted uranium alloy on it, and develop depleted uranium armor-piercing shells, a lot of research is needed. It is in China's national interest to consume some of their research funds more.

If you want to experiment with all kinds of materials, it is absolutely impossible to do less experiments.

What's more, from the very beginning, Liu Yijiu used the cloudburst bomb as an opportunity to trade with the Americans, which is likely to introduce American researchers to the aspect of the cloudburst bomb. The ability of a cloudburst bomb to produce intense heat after an explosion is consistent with his description.

But how to fuse the cloudburst bomb with the armor-piercing projectile, then it doesn't matter to Director Liu.

After all, the technology of US imperialism is far more powerful than that of China, and perhaps they will be able to make a breakthrough in this area of research......

The power of individual cloudburst bombs is far more powerful than ordinary high-explosive bombs, and the Soviets have developed cloudburst bombs like bazookas, which are definitely not bad when used to hit armored vehicles.

"The export of battleships to China is not within the scope of our rights. Director Liu, I suggest you don't get your hopes up......"

"What if I were to form an ocean-going fleet myself!" Liu Yijiu suddenly threw out a sentence. "For this battleship, we don't need the main gun system, as long as the secondary guns and anti-aircraft weapons are kept. Moreover, this battleship will not belong to the PLA Navy, but to our Ninth Academy, and the Ministry of Defense will not pay a penny for this......"

Flies do not bite seamless eggs.

Director Liu, who knows the urine nature of Americans deeply, took the initiative to give them a crack.

Build your own ocean-going fleet!

This is to tell Americans that Liu Yijiu, a young man, is not as ambitious as he understands, and his relationship with the Chinese government is not as harmonious and harmonious as they understand.

Even, Liu Yijiu, a young man, may be preparing for greater power.

These words made Mister and Connor . The eyes of Donald and the others lit up!

If Liu Yijiu really has such ambitions, he can use him to stab the Chinese government in the back, but it is really not possible to support Liu Yijiu, a young man, to disrupt China's domestic affairs and make chaos from within this country that has always liked infighting......

"It seems that China does not even allow individuals to own guns, so how can it be possible to allow individuals or units to own a fleet?" This is the doubt in the minds of Americans.

Liu Yijiu sneered, "I have personally experienced the war in the South China Sea. The country has no money now, and if it wants to build an ocean-going fleet, it is simply powerless! We have money in the Ninth Academy. At present, all the military equipment exported to foreign countries is sold by us, and the money is in our hands...... In addition, we have mastered a lot of domestic money-making industries, such as materials, rare earth trading, electric fans, bicycles, motorcycles, etc., and there may be automobiles or other products in the future......"
