Missile battleships, in particular, require very powerful computer systems, radar systems, automated control systems, and much more.

China does not have in this regard.

Even if the United States does not cheat China, China will develop in this regard.

Therefore, even if China wants to transform into a missile battleship, it will not be easy, and for the United States, it is more in their interests. The Chinese's funds are not very sufficient, the state fiscal revenue is not good, most of the annual military expenditure is used to feed the huge army, and the investment in technology research and development is not very large. It is even more impossible to invest much in the Navy.

Behind Liu Yijiu is the Chinese military, and Liu Yijiu paid for two battleships at his own expense?

It's basically impossible.

Even if he has a huge military-industrial unit behind him, he can't afford it at all, and he can't support the huge transformation funds.

China does not have advanced long-range missiles, does not have solid missile engine technology, and even in this regard it is a new beginning, let the Chinese transform it.

If they are not transformed, these two battleships will be nothing more than targets for aircraft carriers. The main gun with the longest firing range is less than 40 kilometers, and there is still no problem in bullying the navies of small neighboring countries, and if they dare to compete with the huge aircraft carrier fleet of the United States, they will only be targets for advanced anti-ship missiles.

As for the 801 missiles that China already has, I don't know how many years it has been working on, and the upgraded version is not so easy to come up with.

Reagan believed that this kind of thing should be supported.

"Mr. President, I personally think. This matter should still be considered more, even if it is sold to China, it cannot be sold both. Although it is said that the possibility of China transforming into a huge missile battleship is very small. Their economy can't support it, we are developing, and they are developing! "Mister has been thinking about what Liu Yijiu wants these battleships for.

The modification of missile battleships is the most likely.

The U.S. Navy has also considered it, but the cost is so high that the Navy's huge expenses cannot support it. China's economic strength is even worse, and its overall military budget is less than half of the US Navy's military spending, so where did they have the confidence to buy such two huge battleships?

If China buys analytical technology, strengthen their construction capabilities. Aircraft carriers are the mainstream of development.

The battleships have already been eliminated, and the Chinese are not unaware.

What exactly do the Chinese want to do?

These two battleships are even old battleships of the Second World War era, but their power is definitely not covered. And in this year, there has also been a large-scale modernization and upgrading, how can it be taken from the United States without more than half a billion dollars!

"General Mister. You're thinking too much. It's too much of a lift Chinese ......"Connor. Donald said with a smile.

"The Chinese don't have much money in their hands!"

A member of the military said with a frown.

Iowa-class battleship. It was the pride of the U.S. military industry, although there were later more powerful Montana classes, which were not fully built because of the end of the war.

"No matter how much it is, you can't miss the price!" Since it is to pit the Chinese, such a huge warship, the main gun with the Chinese's own anti-ship missiles, the combat effectiveness can be improved a lot, absolutely not less.

The president has already spoken. Even though he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart, Mister didn't say anything more.

The military's contempt for the Chinese side. Sooner or later, you'll suffer a big loss.

But now it is useless to say anything, he has also assessed the speed of the development of China's military industry, but other units are also not idle, and the military powers of the entire NATO countries are talking with China about cooperation in military projects, and they are more comprehensive.

For Americans, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so many great scientists went back, and it would be strange if there was no one more advanced in any aspect.

"Brother Jiu, do you think the Americans will sell the Iowa-class battleships to us? I always felt that it was not very likely. Moreover, what we bought is equivalent to just a shell, hundreds of millions of dollars! This is enough to build dozens of 531 frigates. It will definitely be more powerful than such a battleship. "Li Rui has a very strong resistance to this matter." By the way, all the bugs in here have been found, right? Let's not leak secrets! ”

These warships are already outdated.

Moreover, the military is not interested in buying Iowa-class battleships, and if the Americans are willing to sell an aircraft carrier, or an entire aircraft carrier fleet, the military will be even happier, but even if the Americans are willing to sell, the Chinese military cannot afford it. Smash the pot and sell iron, tighten your belt to buy an aircraft carrier fleet, tens of thousands of kilometers of coastline and millions of square kilometers of territorial waters rely on an aircraft carrier fleet to patrol?

What's more, the annual maintenance cost of an aircraft carrier fleet is not something that the Chinese Navy can afford.

Unless you learn from the third brother in India, Yin eats grain, but it's not a long time.

Liu Yijiu looked at the girl, and then turned his head to look at the TV next to him, the Americans installed a lot of eavesdropping equipment in this room, and after entering the room, the security personnel checked it several times, and found a total of 17 miniature eavesdroppers, and finally Liu Yijiu asked them to leave the eavesdropping devices inside the TV.

It is also not known what technology the Americans use to distinguish the words to be eavesdropped on in the sound of television.

Li Rui is curious, the Chinese military is curious, and it is even more impossible for Americans not to be curious.

"They searched several times, and unless the Americans came up with something that didn't require electricity and a bug that emitted signals, it was impossible to hear it." Liu Yijiu immediately said casually, "Last time we were in the South China Sea, the monkey's armed fishing boats were able to challenge our warships, isn't it because we don't have big warships?" Liu Yijiu knew that the Americans were eavesdropping, and if he didn't give them a reason, the Americans probably wouldn't really sell this huge battleship to the Chinese.

Americans would never have thought that with his director Liu opening a golden finger, even if something is made in a laboratory environment, it will not cost more than the United States.

It is impossible for Americans to know this.

In particular, once this transformation plan is launched, only those who have come to know how much it will contribute to China's industrial system as a whole.

The Varyag aircraft carrier arrived in China, and it took China more than ten years for the Soviet Union to dismantle the aircraft carrier, which was reduced to only the hull and had no power plant, to relaunch and enter service for nearly two decades. It is precisely because of the commissioning of this aircraft carrier that China has formed three aircraft carrier fleets in just a few years, like dumplings, and has thus formed a situation of complete confrontation with US imperialism.

"What's more, if the two battleships are bought, we can completely have one in the South China Sea and one in the North Sea, and the thickest part of this thing has the main armor of 406 mm, and ordinary anti-ship missiles do not have such powerful power! Which of those current aircraft carriers can still have such thick main armor? Isn't our reactive armor research coming to an end? When we go back, we will hang two layers of reactive armor on the outside, and put our anti-ship missiles on the deck, so that we don't even need to dodge, and drive directly to ram the warships of small countries in the South China Sea......"

"But what if we run into an American aircraft carrier fleet?" Li Rui asked very cooperatively.

"Our country's national defense strategy is a defensive strategy! Those old guys will not agree to our development of a navy that is too powerful, just look at the annual funding of the navy......" Liu Yijiu pouted and said. "If we really get involved with the US imperialists, let's build a bunch of missile frigates, and then let this thing rush to the front to attract firepower, and the frigates behind will beat the warships of the US imperialists with anti-ship missiles or anti-aircraft missiles......"

Liu Yijiu's words revealed a deep helplessness.

"Or, let's learn from Lao Maozi and transform this thing into a missile frigate?" Li Rui didn't expect Liu Yijiu to think like this.

It's a waste of money.

"It's a fart!" Liu Yijiu let out a long sigh, "If you want anti-aircraft missiles, anti-submarine missiles, anti-ship missiles, and long-range offensive ship-to-ground missiles...... What does our country have? ”

"Don't we have the DF-5, if we put the DF-5 inside, we will be able to threaten most of the United States at sea......" Li Rui said very confidently.

Liu Yijiu gave her a blank look, "You think it's in the silos?" Among other things, the preparation of liquid-fueled missiles takes a long time. Moreover, in order to improve the service life of the missile, the fuel has always been stored separately from the missile, and the fuel is injected before launch......"

It is simply impossible for a liquid-fueled missile to fit into a warship.

Whether it is the United States, the Soviet Union, or NATO's military powers, road-mobile land-based missiles are basically solid-fuel missiles.

"Our Dongfeng twenty-two, the above means dismounting, which does not conform to the ......" Liu Yijiu reminded Li Rui for a sentence, and then stopped talking.

The conversation quickly reached Evik, and then to the president and the head of the Strategic Security Bureau.

"The Iowa class must be sold to the Chinese, if they don't have money, the price is lower, and the loan will do!" Reagan burst into laughter when he received the news. Although he is not a general in the military and became president as an actor, there is still such common sense.

What a crazy idea to have battleships as meat shields, with small warships pumping out fire in the back.

Young people in China must be supported!

"Yes, we must sell all two Iowa class ships to China, and when the remaining two ships are decommissioned, we can also sell them to them!" Connor. Donald was also very excited.

However, Mister didn't think that Liu Yijiu would be so simple.

The purpose of the Chinese buying the Iowa-class battleships will definitely not be so simple, but he can't figure out what the Chinese want to do! (To be continued.) )
