On the whole, it is quite satisfactory, at least at this time, it is a positive response from Mittre, saying that if the aircraft carrier procurement project can be successful, the Brazilian Navy will inevitably purchase the corresponding large comprehensive supply ships, and at that time, more consideration will be given to the Republic to build this big guy.

Of course, since Yang Hui promised the cost performance, it is natural that the follow-up needs to communicate with the Thai side again, in order to strive to get Thailand's comprehensive supply ship order, which can also effectively reduce the cost of a single ship, and even a few such comprehensive supply ships can be purchased in China in the future, so that everyone is happy.

However, the premise now is to see if we can do our best to figure out the issue of aircraft carriers between the two countries, and if we can get the two governments to decide to jointly develop a type of aircraft carrier for the fleet, it is already a very big gain at this stage.

It was under such circumstances that on the third day of the initial talks, the three parties met again. At this time, it seems that Yang Hui's role is not too big, and Mittre is more sensible, so he first mentioned the issue of large integrated supply ships as soon as he came on the field.

Your Excellency Minister Wenjin, whether our two countries end up purchasing two light fleet aircraft carriers together, or you continue to develop your own anti-submarine helicopter carriers, one issue that must be understood is that both of us need to purchase large integrated supply ships now.

This time, we are grateful to the Republic for the matchmaking, I think that such a large auxiliary ship as a comprehensive supply ship can actually be handed over to the Republic of China represented by General Manager Yang to build, I believe that the supply ship they build can meet the performance requirements at the same time, but also have a very good cost performance. ”

This is really sensible, Yang Hui was almost speechless when he was moved, it is really rare for a sensible Brazilian admiral like Mittre, and I really hope that this guy can be like Wenjin in the future, and his official position will soar like a rocket, and it will be best if there is anything to do at that time.

Now, Mittley has brought out the topic, and Yang Hui of course immediately said: "That's right, in the construction of supply ships in our republic, although the upper level is still an oil and water supply ship in the early eighties, we have the ability to design and manufacture large supply ships, of course, if there are strict performance requirements, we can also choose to purchase the original integrated supply system imported from Western countries, anyway, no matter what, the comprehensive supply ship made by our republic is definitely the most cost-effective, and the performance will not be lost to Western countries." , the money saved can be invested more in the aircraft carrier project. ”

In order to be able to get orders from two countries, Yang Hui played the old trick of cost performance, which is indeed a very attractive plan for the Thai Navy, which is now in urgent need of all aspects to find funds to invest in the aircraft carrier project, anyway, no matter what aircraft carrier is built, the construction of supply ships is a must.

Under such circumstances, it is a great joy to be able to purchase a supply ship from the Republic with a high enough cost performance, and then divert some funds from the supply ship project!

As the last Thai Navy to purchase an integrated supply ship in the Republic in the 90s, the demand for supply ships can be described as a rigid need, and Wenjin, a bold defense minister, knows that this is a good opportunity.

"This is a more reliable mention, since the Brazilian Navy also has the need to purchase large supply ships, then our two countries will place an order with the Republic of China to procure. Originally, the funds given by our Thai government were intended to purchase supply ships from Western countries, but now if we switch to the purchase of supply ships from the Chinese Republic, and together with you Brazil, I believe that the cost can be reduced a little more, and finally 50 million US dollars can be transferred from the original supply ship project. ”

Rub, this embezzled 50 million US dollars from the supply ship project and ran away, Yang Hui suddenly felt that a lot of small money was floating away with the wind, this Nima Ke is really distressed!

But fortunately, if you can get the supply ship order from Brazil, it won't be a loss, and you can get more foreign exchange than the previous one, which is definitely a great thing, so just put up with it!

Just when Yang Hui was distressed about the 50 million US dollars, if the senior who had bid for the Thai supply ship in the last place knew, he would probably wake up with laughter. At that time, when the Republic was bidding and fighting a price war with Western countries, the difference was not limited to 50 million US dollars, and now it is good to have such a result.

And Mittre on the other side also understood, isn't the meaning of Thailand obvious enough? The two sides hit it off.

"That's good, if the Thai side can free up 50 million US dollars, then it will be about the same amount of money as the light fleet aircraft carrier, and our aircraft carriers and large supply ships can be secured, and Brazil is willing to support such a project." We had already planned the purchase of a supply ship to replace an old oil and water supply ship that was also supplied to the Minas Gerais aircraft carrier in the sixties, and this time Brazil's second aircraft carrier procurement plan can be completed, and there will be a second integrated supply ship order, so we should have two integrated supply ship orders in Brazil. ”

Earn a fortune! Nima, two Brazilians and one Thailand, add up to three integrated supply ships!

Compared with the previous one's order for just one Similan integrated supply ship, I don't know how much better, just the order of these three supply ships is enough to go back to pay the difference, and sell the navy and shipyards a big favor, which is definitely a lot of benefits for Southwest Science and Industry to enter the ship gas turbine power system market in the future.

What else can I say, I can only smile and take this order: "No problem, no problem, even if there is an order for three comprehensive supply ships, our republic can also quickly build and deliver, and there are two large shipyards in our country that can undertake the construction of 20,000 tons of warships, and we guarantee that we can deliver one supply ship to each of the two countries before the aircraft carrier is put into service to meet the needs." ”

Yang Hui did not believe that with the capacity of the two major shipyards in the north and south of the Republic, it was not possible to complete the construction of these three supply ships, and he believed that even if it was doubled, all of them could be delivered by 2000 with the domestic shipbuilding capacity.

In this way, the matter of jointly purchasing two fleet aircraft carriers between Thailand and Pakistan was originally discussed, but in this way, it became the first decision to jointly purchase three comprehensive supply ships between the two countries, which is truly extremely joyful.

Wenjin continued: "Now there is good news, after preliminary investigation in all aspects, our research team of the Thai aircraft carrier project believes that we can first listen to the aircraft carrier plan of Bhajan Shipyard, if it is indeed feasible, and the funds are almost in place this time, the Thai Navy is of course more willing to purchase light fleet aircraft carriers." ”

It was definitely a big day, and everyone was happy.

The Republic received an order for three large integrated supply ships, which was no less than the order for the construction of an aircraft carrier at the Bazin shipyard; Thailand is also capable of having aircraft carriers for light fleets that were previously unthinkable; Brazil's twin aircraft carrier formations are finally possible.

Bazin Shipyard now seems to be able to make a lot of money, but in the end, no one can say, especially this time such a large order for two aircraft carriers, will inevitably cause a bloody battle in the international shipbuilding community.

However, integrated supply ships are not as sensitive as aircraft carriers, and under the cover of the limelight of the orders for two aircraft carriers, they should still be able to make a fortune secretly. (To be continued.) )
