"Needless to say, the value of a complete aircraft carrier formation, coupled with the arsenal ships and supporting ships that fully adopt new technologies, I believe that when such a fleet appears in the East, the people of the United States must take concession measures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 When the latest information from Xiangjiang was transmitted back to Yanjing, it was immediately put on the daily meeting of the National Defense Committee for discussion, and only after the preliminary results were discussed here could it be submitted to the central government for final resolution.

Admiral Zhang Chenglong, vice chairman in charge of the abbot's daily meeting, very much agreed with this arms purchase; after all, whether it is in the direction of obtaining this fleet, which can immediately enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops and the bargaining chips in their hands, or in deepening cooperation with the L Conference through this arms purchase, it will be beneficial to China and will not do any harm, but we should only be concerned about the collateral problems and international impact brought about by the sharp rise in military spending.

"In the past year, we have used more than 15 billion meters of special military expenditures to purchase a number of military equipment, including electromagnetic guns, natural damnation strike systems and near-earth electromagnetic orbital weapons, and Australian super fighters. There is not much special money left over the years, and it is impossible for the National Assembly to blatantly give us the green light, so where do we need to deduct this money? "It's a pity that although things are good, they can't stand the thin foundation of the Chinese military, and they don't have so much money, and Li Wanzhong, who is responsible for leading military procurement, has certain doubts about this.

"Are you worried that if we set the tone, it will be against the central government's decision-making?" When people reach this level, many words can not only be expressed through euphemism, but also involve a clear division of labor and responsibilities, and Navy Commander Hu Yingquan suddenly couldn't sit still.

"I'm also worried, a complete nuclear-powered aircraft carrier formation, according to the latest Ford-class procurement cost announced by the United States, also needs to pay up to 22 billion meters of gold procurement costs at one time, which is not counting the final fighter budget and later maintenance costs, if calculated at this price, even if we only purchase 40 fighters to maintain high-end combat power, the most conservative estimate is above the price of 26 billion meters. Can we, then, afford this expenditure without compromising the normal build-up? Hu Yanming, deputy chief of staff of the General Staff, also voiced his voice at the same time.

After he said this, Zhang Chaoguo, the commander of the Air Force next to him, also shook his head, and Hu Yingquan's heart was tight, after all, it was involved in the issue of naval procurement, if there were too many people who opposed it, even if the navy wanted to promote this cooperation, it would have to consider the issue of funding, but after Zhang Chaoguo's voice sounded, he knew that it was not the same thing at all.

"It's really not easy to do, in the past, it was scientific research talents and applied technology that restricted the development of our troops, everything was a lack of talent and enthusiasm, how many losses we suffered, how many detours, we have been catching up with the footsteps of the United States, the central government is based on the overall situation, and comprehensively considers the proportion of investment in the country's economy, people's livelihood and military, which ensures the take-off of China's overall comprehensive strength, in recent years, some foreign countries have long been hegemonic and oppressive attempts to drive above us, which has led to the tilt of military spending, what our generation has to do, It is to strive to develop well and pave the way for future generations. ”

Zhang Chaoguo said this, and the people next to him nodded again and again, and even Zhang Chenglong and Qin Yiming, another vice chairman of the National Defense Commission, nodded in approval, but the words changed suddenly, "Our military technology, although we have made gratifying achievements in recent years, but we have a thin foundation, a late start, in some key areas, and the gap between the people of the United States is very large, on the contrary, looking at this list, good guy, 150,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, This is more than three laps larger than the 45,000-ton conventional-powered aircraft carrier we built in Xiaoshan. ”

Speaking of which, Hu Yingquan didn't know that he had a strong ally, and immediately picked up the conversation with a smile, "No, it's not just that, The arsenal ship with a displacement of 35,000 tons is simply a mobile sea missile launcher, not only as a mobile attack fortress itself, but also because it represents the future development direction of a new generation of naval warships. ”

"Come on, don't sing and harmonize with the two of you, let's talk about it, how to discuss this matter, we all have to give a reasonable explanation to the central government in the end, don't turn the whole meeting into a joke at that time, and it will be fun if it is rejected." Qin Yiming didn't know what the two of them meant, but there were more than a dozen people present, so they couldn't just make a hasty decision, right?

"I mean, warships have to be bought, but you can't just pay for nothing, Commander Hu also said just now, there is a huge difference between the technology of the navy and them, so why can't we send technicians to directly participate in the construction of warships? Even the technology in some key areas, we should be licensed, otherwise we can't buy one generation worse than the next, right? There is no shame in outsourcing, and it is our top priority to learn advanced technology from outside. A committee member said in a deep voice.

"I agree that things can be bought, but the gap in technology is not something that can be caught up overnight."

"By the way, how to buy the most things with the least amount of money is the rule we have always followed."

As Qin Yiming seemed to ask, but in fact secretly set the tone of his words, the people who were originally watching changed their minds and began to support it, after all, this matter is very beneficial to the military, and no one wants the troops under their command to compete with equipment far inferior to the enemy.

"Well, this matter is decided like this, the military spending is decided by the central government, what we can decide is to cooperate with L, but our technical military personnel must play a key role in it, not just buy finished products, we must learn new technologies through this cooperation, and it is best to be able to produce foreign technologies domestically, so that we can learn thoroughly and learn practically." Zhang Chenglong had no other opinions on this, on the contrary, he chose to understand the matter as soon as possible.

"Good guy, a dozen warships of the entire aircraft carrier fleet are in the column at a time, Lao Hu, you have made it." Hu Yingquan's colleagues laughed and joked. (To be continued.) )
