Liu Yijiu last time confronted Mister and the director of the National Strategic Security Agency, Donald Brown. Conrad expressed such thoughts.

After returning home, the Department of Defense, the Bureau of Strategy, and even the U.S. government secretly discussed the matter. Although the relationship between Red China and the evil Soviet Union is not very good, in any case, China is ruled by a communist regime.

If we want to completely eradicate it, we must start from within China.

Liu Yijiu is young enough and ambitious enough.

During the time of President Wright, the National Strategic Security Service began to prepare for the overthrow of the Soviet Union, starting with all aspects of politics, economics, military and even culture. By the time Ronald Reagan, a president who had vowed to end communism, came to power, those plans were running at a faster pace.

The Soviet Union relied on oil to support their economy, so the United States encouraged Saudi Arabia to launch OPEC and increase oil production on a large scale, so that the price of these black gold was greatly reduced, and the Soviet economy faced collapse.

At the same time, the Vantaa plan to comprehensively defeat the Soviet Union economically has already begun to run, the Star Wars program has begun to start, and the Soviet economy is under multiple blows, and it is definitely not an easy task to compete with the United States, whose economic strength far surpasses theirs.

If there are no problems, no surprises, it will not be long before the USSR will be able to be overturned!

At that time, the largest red regime in the whole world will be China, an ancient empire that has been bullied by the world powers for hundreds of years.

Any strong fortress, breached from within. It's the easiest.

Now Liu Yijiu is ambitious and wants to build his own fleet, plus his special position in China, wait until later. His ambitions will continue to swell, and at that time, all that will be needed is logistical support from NATO countries......

Even, with some nominal verbal support, the young man will help them complete their plans and bring down Red China.

At first, Liu Yijiu just wanted an Iowa-class battleship. Now I want two more......

This is definitely a good thing for Mister.

"Director Liu, for such a thing. Would your government agree? Will they approve? Mister was happy in his heart, but asked Liu Yijiu quietly on his face. I am not optimistic about this transaction.

Liu Yijiu pursed his lips, "You don't know what the situation is in China, the old destroyers in the fifties and sixties are also the main ships of our navy." At present, the Pacific Fleet of the USSR in Vladivostok is constantly increasing the number of warships. Even an increasingly large fleet was stationed in Cam Ranh Bay. With their support, the Vietnamese have been constantly invading our territorial waters, and up to now, he has occupied many of our islands in the South China Sea......"

The Americans are most worried about the situation in the South China Sea, especially the growing strength of the Soviet Navy.

In the Asia-Pacific region, the Americans did not have an advantage over the Soviets. If they had to be, the Americans would be able to send more fleets to the western Pacific very quickly. The Soviet Union has always been the Continental Army mentality. When developing naval equipment, priority is given to the development of survivable underwater nuclear submarines, and not to large surface ships.

Hundreds of nuclear submarines of the evil Soviet Union spread all over the world's oceans.

As soon as the USSR was spoken, the Americans began to get nervous, "if the Soviets do not develop large warships, it will not be a problem." Because we don't pay much attention to maritime rights and interests at the top, but the Soviets have now started the construction program of large warships, and even their aircraft carrier construction program has begun......"

The Soviets were building aircraft carriers, and the Americans could not have been unaware.

Liu Yijiu threw this out, which shocked Mister and the others.

They thought to themselves how terrifying it would be if the young man's ideas could convince China's top brass.

The naval strategy of the USSR was clearly wrong.

China's national defense and military are all inherited from the Soviet Union, and it has always focused on the development of the army and air force, which is also the ideology of the Continental Army.

Liu Yijiu is different, this young man is very sensitive to intelligence, and even has a very accurate grasp of future development.

Not to mention anything else, just now that China has the C801 missile in its hands, which shocks the whole world, it is a very unacceptable thing, once China has a longer range, more powerful medium and long-range anti-ship missile, and the formation of mass production, the weakness of the Chinese Navy will be greatly enhanced.

U.S. interests and strategies in the Asia-Pacific region will be seriously challenged.

Fortunately, the economic development of the Chinese is very poor, and there is not enough money to invest in these expensive and expensive medium- and long-range missiles.

"What do you mean?" After some contact, Mister and his entourage did not have an in-depth discussion with Liu Yijiu on cooperation negotiations, but returned directly to the White House.

With a special plane on standby, for them, it is only a few hours to get from New York to Washington.

After hearing the debriefing, Reagan gathered all his staff members and asked for their opinions.

The Iowa-class battleships, although they have very strong firepower and have a caliber of 406 mm main guns, have little potential in modern warfare in the face of missile attacks. In particular, the first Kirov-class missile cruiser of the Soviet Union, "Admiral Ushakov", has been in service in 80 years, although there is no detailed information, but in this large-scale military exercise of the Soviet Union, this warship, which is still secret, flew out of hundreds of missiles, which is enough to shock people.

According to the analysis of incomplete intelligence information, missile cruisers of this class are equipped with various types of anti-ship, anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and ground-attack missiles of different ranges, with more than 500 missiles!

It's just a mobile arsenal at sea.

Under the threat of such warships, that is, the entire aircraft carrier formation is barely survivable.

Battleships, there is no use at all.

"I think we can sell the remaining two Iowa-class battleships that have not yet been recommissioned to the Chinese." This will prevent them from developing rapidly in the research of anti-ship missiles, and at the same time, even if the Chinese side gets the battleship and completely analyzes the technology, it will not be of much use. Battleships are not the same as aircraft carriers...... "Connor. Donald has always advocated the sale of outdated weapons and equipment to China, so that on the surface it seems that China's military strength has been greatly improved, but in fact this is not the case, and their own research and development will be seriously hindered.

Although Mister was also very much in favor of this cooperation, he had dealt with Liu Yijiu for too long, and he knew that Liu Yijiu would not bring it up just for the sake of something like a battleship. The biggest possibility is that it is for the manufacturing technology of large warships.

The Chinese can't even build a 5,000-ton warship.

It's better not to sell to them.

"Although selling to them could add hundreds of millions of dollars to our navy, I think it is suspicious that the Chinese military will buy our mothballed Iowa-class battleships. What if they were to transform into missile battleships like the Kirov-class of the Soviet Union? "I brought this up right away.

Sell two!

If China had two of them, and they had been transformed into missile battleships like the Soviet Union, the United States would have to send at least three aircraft carrier fleets to completely suppress China when the Soviet Union collapsed. And with the displacement of the Iowa class, how many missiles can be loaded on it?

Not to mention a thousand, at least seven hundred or even eight hundred!

"Does China have so many missiles on it? Not to mention anything else, it's just an anti-aircraft missile, what else is there besides the individual anti-aircraft missile Houyi, which has just appeared in recent years? At sea, this anti-aircraft missile is not good at all. "Connor. Donald said with a look of disdain, "Could it be that the Chinese can put their DF-5 in it?" How many can you hold? ”

If this matter is replaced by the Soviet Union or other NATO allies, the United States really needs to think about it.

However, China's solid-fuel missile technology is not up to par at all, and China's domestic 202 project is still using liquid fuel technology......

The Americans are very clear about this.

"In addition, it is better for the Chinese to change such a battleship into a missile battleship, the entire project is not tens of billions, it is simply impossible to succeed!" Anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, anti-ship, ground-attack missiles...... How can all this, with the strength of the Chinese? Will they be able to succeed in fifty years? "It's not Connor. Donald looks down on China.

It's that China's domestic foundation is too poor.

Since the resumption of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in '79, the United States and NATO allies have been constantly contacting China under the pretext of military cooperation, seeking intelligence, and assessing China's military strength.

After in-depth contact, we found that although China's military technology has made great progress, it is not as good as the outside world thinks.

The results of the work of the Paris Committee for the Coordination of the Embargo have been remarkable.

If the Chinese really spent fifty years to figure out these things, or only twenty years, at that time, these battleships had been built for sixty or seventy years, and how many years could they still be in service?

It is also very good to pit China.

"Mister, do you have any other opinions?" Reagan saw that his military adviser Mister was still frowning, and asked lightly, "Are you worried that Red China will really pose a threat to us after converting these two warships into missile battleships?" ”

The launch of a liquid missile is very complicated, and on a warship, there is basically not much possibility. (To be continued.) )
