Text 1043 Sino-US cooperation to transform brigade-class destroyers?

Next chapter

(Who's to guess if there is a third watch today?) ）

"Cooperating on a battleship?" Mister frowned and looked at Hauge, he really hadn't thought about it. 》し

The naval equipment of the Chinese side does not even have much of a base.

Soviet technology from the fifties and sixties is still used.

Soviet technology in this area was not very good in the first place.

"Yes, I think we can work together effectively on this. The Chinese's demand for this is also very huge, and the Soviet Pacific Fleet poses a very big threat to their maritime frontiers, not to mention the Soviet fleet stationed in Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam, just the Pacific Fleet in the Far East can easily destroy the entire Chinese navy! Hauge nodded affirmatively. That's why they wanted to introduce British technology to ensure that they could effectively defend themselves against the Soviet attack! ”

"It's not going to work. Once China's navy becomes stronger, the impact on our interests in the Asia-Pacific region will be very great! "The other members of the delegation are not fools.

The development of the Chinese Navy involves too many interests.

Otherwise, the United States would not have interfered in the technical cooperation between China and Britain on advanced destroyers.

Japan and Taiwan, which are key areas for the United States to block the entire Chinese sea access, especially the island chain created by the United States to blockade China.

The development of Chinese fighter jets and bombers will pose a serious threat to the United States in Japan and Taiwan. It could even threaten the U.S. footprint around the South China Sea.

And naval equipment can also threaten these.

Therefore, the delegation has always insisted on cooperating with the Chinese side on army equipment, and at most on the Chinese side, the J-8 performance improvement is the cooperation with the Chinese side.

Engines or something, they didn't even think about giving it to China.

Now some people are proposing to cooperate with China in naval equipment, which is obviously harming the future interests of the United States, and when the Chinese navy poses a threat to the interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region in the future, they will be the sinners of the entire United States.

Instead of refusing outright, Mister looked at Hauge and waited for him to continue. Hauge usually doesn't talk much, and rarely expresses his own opinion on things, so when he says such things at this time, he naturally has his own thoughts.

"A destroyer, and the tonnage is only a few thousand tons, it simply cannot affect the situation in a region. China wants to threaten our interests unless they have a significant number of large combat warships of 10,000 tons. Hauge said with a smile on his face, and the others laughed when they heard this. Obviously, the Chinese cannot even build a large warship of more than 4,000 tons! ”

Without large warships, China's navy simply can't afford to make waves.

Until now, the main warships of the Chinese Navy have been nothing more than old destroyers of less than 4,000 tons.

"That's what China needs, and at the same time, it's in line with our principle of helping them develop their technology." Hauge said this at last, and then kept silent.

Others began to discuss, some agreeing to such a plan and others opposing it.

Mister was lost in thought.

China's naval equipment, especially advanced missile destroyers, lacks all kinds of core technologies.

What's more, large warships are more expensive.

China's current use of the Type 051 brigade destroyer as the main warship was not an advanced destroyer before, and now it is even more backward Yan zhòng, but the current international situation is grim, and the Soviet Union continues to strengthen the number of warships and combat effectiveness of the Pacific Fleet, which makes China feel the threat of Yan zhòng.

Therefore, at present, China is still desperately trying to build this destroyer, which has long been behind.

It's not that the Chinese side doesn't want to create more advanced destroyers, it's that the Chinese side doesn't have more advanced destroyers to make. Technical cooperation with the British has been hampered, and the current Chinese idea of designing and building advanced destroyers has clearly suffered a setback.

If the U.S. side had offered to cooperate with China in this regard, perhaps China would have agreed to this.

"This is a good plan, we can communicate with the Chinese side, but before that, we have to come up with a detailed plan, so that Chinese technology can not be improved too much, and at the same time, they must not give up." Mister thought about it, and in the current situation, if you don't find a project that the Chinese side is interested in, the cooperation really can't be carried out.

China's technological upgrade is too much, which is not a good thing for the United States.

If they can't improve their technology somewhat, the Chinese will certainly not be interested.

"There's nothing wrong with that. General, I have a detailed plan here...... "Without waiting for others to speak, seeing Mister staring at him, Hauge smiled, took out a written plan from the bag next to him, and handed it to Mister.

Mister looked at Hauge in surprise and took over, not saying much, but when he saw the details on it, he couldn't take his eyes off it anymore.

"Whew!" When he had read the entire plan, he let out a long breath and handed it to the members of the other delegations.

"Let's take a look at this plan, and then let's talk about how to cooperate with the Chinese side. It goes into detail about what we want to do with China, and how it will affect us if China has these technologies......" Mist looked at Hauge for at least ten seconds before turning to the others.

Hauge didn't have the slightest awkwardness at Mister as if he wanted to see through him, and stared at Mister calmly.

He was working for the interests of the United States of America.

"General, I think that the engine technology cannot give them too good, the engines of the Chinese are originally very poor, as long as they are more advanced than the generation used in their country, they will be very satisfied." Otherwise, they will use it on other warships......"

Any technology, especially one that can be used in a variety of equipment, has a huge effect on the improvement of the technical level of the entire industry.

Ship power systems are not only military, but even commercial.

China is very backward in this regard, and it is not even as good as Taiwan, which has only one small island, and even less than Japan, which was able to build such a sky-defying warship as the battleship Yamato. Therefore, the power system must not be too good for China.

"Radar system, can't give too good ......"

"Air defense missile system, can not give too good ......"

Everyone else is babbling about it.

When Mister heard these words, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, these guys, thinking that the Chinese are really called Hanako, are easy to send away?

"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand everyone's feelings. However, in order to cooperate with China, the technology we provide must be at least slightly better than the technology related to the Type 42 destroyer provided by the British to the Chinese side. Otherwise, they would not have accepted the conditions as we wished......" Mister's words made the members of the American delegation wake up.

Chinese are not fools, they are not easy to fool at all.

Liu Yijiu did not pay too much attention to the situation in the United States.

He knows that even if they cooperate, there will not be much result.

Cooperation between the Soviet Union and China was the most important thing, and all the energy was spent on negotiations with the Soviet Union.

The details of technical cooperation were directly handed over to Huang Xuhua and his team to discuss with the Soviets.

Pan Jinghu, who followed Liu Yijiu here, was a little anxious, everyone knew each other in the major research institutes of naval equipment, and saw that Huang Xuhua and others were able to make progress every day, and they had been idle, how could they not be in a hurry?

"Director Liu, what does the United States mean?" After waiting for three days, Pan Jinghu, who couldn't bear it, found Liu Yijiu at the instigation of his subordinates.

With a distressed face, he felt that staying like this and doing nothing was a complete waste of his life, and this was a crime against the country.

"Director Pan, don't worry. The Americans will definitely cooperate with us in this matter. However, do you have a detailed cooperation plan at the moment? In the current situation, if we want to redesign, it is obviously too late......"

Liu Yijiu is also anxious, but this matter is not in a hurry at all.

This can only divert Pan Jinghu's attention.

"We already have a plan. cooperation, we can replace the power system, weapon system, fire control radar system on the basis of the brigade level......" Pan Jinghu has been thinking about this for a long time.

When cooperation with the British side was blocked, it was thinking about follow-up plans.

The 055 ship, even if the British gave them the technology for the Type 42 destroyer, could not be done effectively. As the chief designer, he knows this very well.

We can only use the technology imported from the West to improve the design and improve the technical performance of China's main warships on the existing basis.

Seeing the plan handed to him by Pan Jinghu about the technical transformation of the 051 ship, Liu Yijiu couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

"Director Pan, it seems that you haven't been idle these days!" Liu Yijiu said while looking at the plan.

Pan Jinghu did not have the slightest smugness, "At present, our foundation is too poor, and we can only gradually improve the performance of naval equipment in this way." Wherever possible, we will not take this as a distraction. Our foundation is too poor, and the tonnage of the brigade is too small, so there is not much potential for transformation at all. However, this improvement in the design will allow us to accumulate more technical experience, which will allow us to accumulate experience for the design of more advanced warships in the future......"

Liu Yijiu nodded, being able to be the director of the Naval Equipment Research Institute and having a very large influence in the naval equipment industry, Pan Jinghu's ability is definitely not to be underestimated.

The design of the 055 ship, in fact, is almost the same.

It's just that the design has been demonstrated, and many technical problems cannot be solved, otherwise it would have already begun to be manufactured
