Chapter 1727 What is the idea?

The world shook

The fact that the Alice Group had actually built a ship capable of taking off and landing fixed-wing supersonic aircraft could sweep through the country in a stormy state the next day

But the strange thing is that all the parties involved are tight-lipped about this matter, and they are all silent about this matter. I can't see a related report in various media, as if everyone has never known about it. But the more this is the case, the more everyone understands in their hearts that this kind of calm is just the last calm before the mountain rain is about to come.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it" The top bigwigs of the military looked at the video of the plane taking off and landing sent by Alice Group, shook their heads with emotion, and said with emotion.

"It seems that we can't continue to drag on the matter of aircraft carriers, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to the people." The vice chairman of the Central Military Commission nodded, deeply sympathetic. "Lao Liang, you can draw up a charter for this matter, there are some things that we still have to do, and we can't let the people chill."

"Yes, chief" Minister Liang of the General Armament Department responded respectfully, thought about it, and cautiously put forward his own opinion, "Chief, you see, after this incident, it is estimated that many countries will have to contact Alice Group, and we ...... about these things."

"Let the government and the national security department worry about this matter, let's not worry about it so much," the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission waved his hand, "There are some things that we still can't mix too deeply." ”

"Yes, chief, I see." Lao Liang nodded.

Lao Maozi is still worried about his Kuznetsov aircraft carrier

The Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is the only aircraft carrier currently in service in the Russian Navy, and it is also one of the most respectable, and certainly the most expensive, military legacies that Russia has inherited from the former Soviet Union. As the second largest aircraft carrier in the world after the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier represents the face of the Russian Navy to a certain extent, but all this cannot conceal the fact that compared with the US Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that cruises in the world's oceans all year round, the Russian Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is like a local chicken lying in its nest all day long

At the beginning of the design, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier was originally a technical reserve for the next generation of nuclear-powered steam catapult aircraft carriers of the former Soviet Union, and from a technical point of view, the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is more of a technical verification role, and the only advantage is probably slightly better than the fate of his sister ship: the Varyag aircraft carrier.

The current condition of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is extremely bad, not only the daily maintenance costs are extremely high, but also the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, which makes the Russians even more depressed, has limited use capacity, and has only gone to sea several times since the date of service. However, although the aircraft carrier has hardly been used, all kinds of accidents have occurred frequently, and even many accidents are extremely weird, such as fires, fuel leaks, steam boiler explosions, loss of control, etc.

In fact, aircraft carriers are constantly under repair, and various technical maintenance times longer than combat use. What's more, the cost of maintaining the usage features is staggering and incredibly high. To tell the truth, in the face of such an aircraft carrier with a super "uncle" temper, the Russian Navy is already somewhat overwhelmed.

In fact, it is difficult for Russia to bear this burden, and even the Russian military has big doubts about the suitability of keeping the aircraft carrier, although they are only vaguely hinted. Russia, which regards aircraft carriers as a symbol of national strength, is still stiffening, after all, the construction of new aircraft carriers is still in the design stage for the time being, and the extremely depressed old Maozi can only grit his teeth and insist.

After all, the current aircraft carrier Kuznetsov is the only fig leaf in Russia's hands that symbolizes its former status as a world superpower.

But the problem is that now it seems that this last fig leaf is also more suspenseful, in the past, the Russians can also use "the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is the most advanced aircraft carrier in the world except for the American aircraft carrier" to comfort their little hearts that were extremely hurt by the collapse of the former Soviet Union due to the collapse of the international status, but now, when the Alice Group launched this can take off two carrier-based aircraft at the same time, the displacement is even larger than the Americans' Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier" After the delivery of the "Princess Albers", the Russians almost tore off the last fig leaf...... Saying almost, because nominally the "Albers Princess" is a civilian cruise ship, which is enough, although everyone knows that in fact, after a simple refit of one or two months, the "Albers Princess" can be transformed into an authentic maritime super combat weapon: aircraft carrier,

"Aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier" A few years ago, the strongman who was called very powerful in the past few years no longer has the same vigor on his face, his gray hair is a little messy, and he walks around the office anxiously, looking very much like Khrushchev who jumped over the wall in a hurry at the most critical moment during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Few of the people in the office looked up, facing this strongman who had been pinned on by all of them at the beginning, and everyone wanted to transform into an ostrich at once, so that they could bury their heads in the sand.

"Even the Alice Group has created such an advanced weapon, so why can't our great Russian Empire?" It seems that the strongman didn't notice the reaction of his subordinates at all, and walked around the office anxiously, looking like a wild wolf that had just been put in a cage.

"No, it's definitely not like that," Putin muttered to himself as he paced back and forth in his office, "such difficulties are no longer difficult for the great Russian Empire, nor are they difficult for you Vladimir. Vladimirovich. Putin, you will definitely find a solution to the problem. ”

There is no confidence in whether the solution to the problem can be found, but everyone is more worried at the moment that if their boss goes on like this, will the Russian Empire need to have a new president? This is definitely not good news for these guys who are already in high positions and enjoy all kinds of privileges...... No matter which camp they belong to, they still understand the truth of a son of heaven and a courtier.

"Mr. President," finally someone could not bear the current oppressive atmosphere and spoke, "is there a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?" ”

"Oh?" Putin, who has always been extremely anxious because he has no suitable way to deal with it, heard that someone actually had a way to deal with it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly made a gesture of please, "Say it quickly, say it quickly"

"Mr. President," Mr. Interior Minister cleared his throat, "in my opinion, this Albis Princess of the Alice Group is actually an enlarged version of our Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and in this case, it means that the initial design of our Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is still very successful and mature, otherwise the damn Alice Group would not have done this." ”

"If we want to revive the maritime glory of our Russian Empire in the past, in my opinion, the easiest way is to continue to carry forward our current Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, and when designing the new aircraft carrier, we will directly use the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier as a model, and make some modifications to some problems of the current Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, as long as the newly designed aircraft carrier does not have so many inexplicable failures on the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, in fact, the combat power of this type of aircraft carrier is still very strong."

Well? This also seems to make sense: as Mr. Minister of the Interior said, if the new aircraft carrier is designed based on the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, the technology is more mature, and after so many years of use, the advantages and disadvantages of the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier are already very clear, and it is not impossible, and most importantly, because of the previous experience accumulation, if the Kuznetsov aircraft carrier is used as a model, the cost will undoubtedly be saved a lot

But the others, especially those on the naval side, were not happy: why? You said you want to design according to the damn Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, just design it according to that? If we all do what you say, wouldn't we all be smashed by you bastard? This is not possible, absolutely not

Although strictly speaking, there is no subordinate relationship between the ship design unit and the navy, after all, the weapons designed by the design unit are for the navy, and the navy has a great say in the quality of a weapon.

Then the next thing is a matter of course, since the navy has such a big say in a piece of equipment, then whether an equipment is adopted, to a certain extent, depends on how much benefit the R&D department gives to the navy, to be precise, the senior generals of the navy.

The research and development of new equipment based on an old piece of equipment naturally does not cost as much money as a piece of equipment developed from scratch, and naturally, the senior admirals of the navy will reap much less benefits. As the saying goes, cutting off people's money is like killing their parents, so it is not surprising that the bigwigs of the Navy are so excited in the face of the words of the Minister of the Interior. ,

Whoever it is replaced, it is estimated that everyone will be so excited.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

While the polar bear was still arguing whether Russia's next-generation aircraft carrier should be redesigned and designed as a nuclear-powered steam catapult aircraft carrier, or based on the existing Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a nuclear-powered glide take-off method, on the other side of the ocean, Lao Maozi's old rival for decades: Uncle Sam, an American, was discussing the impact on the global hegemony of the United States after the Alice Group had the ability to build aircraft carriers.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that everyone already knows the news, and now we need to work together to discuss, what should we do next?" Bush Jr. shrugged his nose, which seemed to be about to drip wax, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice to one of his aides...... Unfortunately, when I went to bed last night, George W. Bush kicked on the quilt and caught a cold.

"Several major think tanks, led by the RAND think tank, are conducting a rigorous evaluation of this matter, and I think it won't take long for news to come out," Rice said in a deep voice, "and all our sources now are only our military attaché in China and Wesley. Mr. Clark's judgment is not appropriate for us to come to this conclusion without seeing Mr. Ellison's 'Princess Albers' and making a rigorous assessment of this beautiful 'princess'. ”

Several of the other staff members nodded in the same way, apparently agreeing with Rice's sentiments.

"That's ...... It's not impossible, but do you have any other opinions, ladies and gentlemen? I hope you will speak freely. George W. Bush groaned for a moment and asked the crowd again.

Bush Jr.'s heart is still a little heavy, and the video of the live plane gave Bush Jr. a great shock, as the spokesperson for the interests of the American giants, he was almost immediately sensitive to the huge threat to the interests of the American giants by the Alice Group.

Rice, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Card, and others looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, they did not think that the current assessment of the "Princess Albers" was accurate and reasonable until an accurate assessment of the "Princess Albers" was made by professionals...... In a way, these guys do better things than people in some countries, at least they are silently insisting on one thing: no investigation, no voice.

"In that case, let's wait until Ellison's beautiful 'princess' returns." Bush Jr. also knew in his heart what his aides were thinking about at the moment, and he didn't care about it at the moment, just nodded and it was over.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Zhang Lan, who was at the center of this storm, seemed to be unaware at the moment, and even thought longingly about what the giants who could have a huge impact on world security by stomping their feet were thinking and doing at the moment.

"It looks like the satellite we've put this time is a bit bigger." Zhang Lan said with some "shame", of course, you can't see a trace of shame on his face.

"Although it's a little bigger, doesn't it also achieve the effect we want," Xiao Chenxi's face didn't care at all, "What's more, this little thing is nothing, when the ship we are building now is completed, it will really be shocking."

Listening to Xiao Chenxi's words, Zhang Lan's face couldn't help but show a smile: After the mysterious attack on the energy research and development center of Alice Group in the United States, although Alice Group did not lose anything, Alice was suddenly "furious" and swore in front of the media that those scientific researchers were all the most valuable assets of Alice Group, and he wanted to give these scientific researchers the strictest protection At that time, many people thought that Alice was talking big, but how could they know, All these words are from your own instructions?

"Speaking of which, the shock brought to these guys this time is enough, and if I give them some more shock, I'm really a little worried about whether this guy's psychological tolerance can accept such a thing." When it came to this, Alice was also smiling, with a wicked smile on her face, as if in a reverie, what kind of funny scene it would be when those guys saw that scene? ,

It seems to be very exciting.

"I'm not worried, instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry about what kind of faces those guys will show in the face of this kind of technology of our Alice Group." Zhang Lan's understanding of the strength of the human heart is obviously beyond the scope of Xiao Chenxi and Alice, the two little girls' ability to understand human beings, as the old saying goes: there is no blessing that cannot be enjoyed, and there is also no sin that cannot be endured

Similarly, with huge benefits, all dangers seem to be negligible, just like Uncle Ma said, when there is 300% profit, capital dares to trample on all the world's laws Alice Group has the technology in its hands, to a certain extent, the profits it can generate are not only 300% can be compared, don't see how huge profits these technologies have been generated in the hands of Alice Group?

The two little girls immediately realized what Zhang Lan was thinking at the moment, pursed their lips and smiled lightly, and said softly, "What are you worried about, in this world, are there still people we can't deal with?" Even if we can't play tricks against them, but with the absolute superiority of force, is it possible that we are afraid that we will not be able to defeat them? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Lan smiled and secretly scolded himself for being confused: Also, with the superb strength in his hands, do you still need to worry about this little problem? Such a small thing, I really don't have to think about it at all.

"Little master, Mr. Cleod, president of the Asian branch of the Rockefeller Consortium in the United States, said that he would come to visit you in two days, and asked if you had time in two days, if not, he said that he would be available at any time." At this moment, Jill walked in and reported such a message to Zhang Lan.

The Rockefeller consortium? Zhang Lan couldn't help but be stunned, this consortium wants to contact herself? What do they want to do?

At this position, Zhang Lan definitely didn't think that these guys asked to meet with him in order to invite him to drink flower wine, and appearing at this time must have something to do with the "Princess Albers".

What makes Zhang Lan puzzled is that their Rockefeller consortium has been very low-key since it was broken up because of the monopoly, and many things are hidden behind the scenes and carried out quietly.

Fall in love with the technology in your hands and want to take it by force? A sneer appeared on Zhang Lan's face: If that's the case, then these guys must have made a mistake
