Chapter 664: With my iron-blooded heart, protect my China! (iv)
There's no problem with this, it's just, my God," Xiao Chenxi patted his head 57 incredulously, "How did you come up with these ghost ideas?" Have you been planning this for a long time? ”
"No," Zhang Lan shook her head and pointed to the TV, "It's just that after seeing the news just now, I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, and felt that since the navy could not protect us for various reasons, then we could only use legal means to protect ourselves, so we came up with such a thing." ”
"Now I finally have to admit it," Xiao Chenxi let out a long breath, "I don't dare to say anything else, but in terms of weapons, maybe you are really a genius." ”
"Hehe, I can't help it, I just think of a solution." Zhang Lan smiled and did not speak: What I think in my heart is just to let every Chinese, no matter where he goes, not be bullied, be able to hold his chest up, and proudly say loudly to others: "I am Chinese!" That's it. Everything I do is also for this, although I can't do it, "Those who offend me as a strong man and a mighty man, although they are far away, will be punished!" But I should also try to do one thing for my country: if people don't offend me, I won't offend people; If anyone sins against me, I will repay it a hundredfold.
I did this before, I do it now, and I will do it again in the future!
"Do you estimate that this Russian Krivak-class missile frigate that you have taken a fancy to, and now the poor and crazy Russian Far East Pacific Fleet's Sironov can sell for one?" Xiao Chenxi asked, now this girl is becoming more and more curious about what Zhang Lan is going to do.
"China actually still has two aircraft carriers," Zhang Lan did not answer Xiao Chenxi's question, but said another question that seemed unrelated to Xiao Chenxi's question, "One is the Melbourne, an old-fashioned aircraft carrier built during World War II, which was bought from Australia by China United Ship Recycling Company in the early eighties, and of course, this one has now been dismantled by China United Ship Recycling Company." Another is that during the Southeast Asian financial crisis last year, South Korea sold the Minsk aircraft carrier, one of the two aircraft carriers it bought from Russia's Far East Pacific Fleet for $13 million in 1995, to China for $5.3 million. ”
Saying this, Zhang Lan laughed, "Even such a thing as an aircraft carrier, the insanely poor Russian Far East Pacific Fleet can sell two ships for only 13 million US dollars, which is equivalent to only 6.5 million US dollars each, although the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet dismantled or blew up the weapons and electronic systems on the aircraft carriers at the beginning of the delivery of these two aircraft carriers to South Korea, and required South Korea to disassemble them into steel plates of about 2 square meters and not use them for military purposes. But just the price of these tens of thousands of tons of high-quality special steel on these two aircraft carriers is more than 1,300 US dollars, right? ”
To be exact, China has four aircraft carriers, in addition to the dismantled Australian "Melbourne" and the Soviet aircraft carrier "Minsk", which was towed into Dongguan, Guangdong, China, in August this year and converted into a military theme park in 20005, there are two others.
Among the other two, one of them was the Soviet aircraft carrier "Kiev" that was successfully bid by eight bidders from the United States and India in 2000.
The last one is the famous "Varyag" aircraft carrier bought from Ukraine in 1999, but the fate of this aircraft carrier without any weapons and power plants on it is more ill-fated, for various reasons, although the aircraft carrier has been bought in 1999, but due to various reasons and obstructions, with the efforts of the Chinese government in many aspects, it was not until March 2003 that it reached its final destination in Dalian, Liaoning.
As for the future of this aircraft carrier "Varyag". It will be converted into a training ship or reconfigured and assembled into a Chinese aircraft carrier ground transit ship. There have always been different opinions. In the past, I heard Zhang Zhaozhong say in the "Defense New Observation" that the military is considering letting Lao Wa reallocate firepower. Impetus. Radar. Missiles and other systems have become China's temporary over-use of ships. It's just that when Zhang Lan comes back. There is no conclusion as to what happened to this aircraft carrier. But one thing is certain. That is, the "Varyag" aircraft carrier has an inexplicable relationship with the Chinese Navy.
"Kiev" and "Varyag" are still without a shadow. Zhang Lan, naturally, cannot say that China has four aircraft carriers. It can only be said that there are two of them.
"Even if we don't want all kinds of ship-to-ship missiles, ship-to-air missiles, anti-submarine missiles, naval guns, torpedoes and anti-submarine depth bombs on these Krivac-class missile frigates. We are only asked to keep the ship's complete power control device, anti-air search radar, sea search radar, alert radar, navigation radar, weather radar, missile tracking and irradiation radar, main gun aiming radar, electronic reconnaissance equipment, and electronic jamming
These electronic devices, such as the sonar system and the Pl35 combat command system, are T bombs, ground infrared decoys, and chaff jamming devices. Use these things for self-defense. Zhang Lan asked Xiao Chenxi rhetorically. Even the aircraft carrier was able to sell this light ship for only $650. Sister. Now the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet is insanely poor. You feel that for such a displacement of only 3000 tons of ground Krivac-class missile frigates. How much can they sell for? ”
"Holy!" Heard Zhang Lan say this. Xiao Chenxi was dumbfounded. couldn't help but burst out with a foul language. "That is the embarrassing status quo of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet. This Krivac-class missile frigate. Even if it's as you say. Keep these things. They can sell it for seven or eight hundred thousand dollars, and it's skyrocketing! ”
"Maybe a little higher." Zhang Lan said. "After all, they used to sell land and things. Although it is to sell things. But I still pay more attention to confidentiality. All useful things on the ship were dismantled. Only an empty hull remained. We're going to land one of these things. Powertrain aside. The radar equipment above, the infrared decoy device and chaff launch device for self-defense in the event of anti-missile defense, the electronic jamming device, and the early warning command and control system are on the ground. It was enough for Sironov and Fedorov to think about it. ”
"Indeed," hearing Zhang Lan say this, Xiao Chenxi nodded and agreed with Zhang Lan's words, "These things are indeed more sensitive. That is, you don't want the weapons on these frigates, and if you still want the weapons on them, I guess they won't dare to sell them to you. But even so, the cost of one is less than $2,000, and I estimate that with the current situation of the Russian Far East Pacific Fleet, the price will not exceed $150. ,”
"This price is more reliable," Zhang Lan nodded, the corners of her mouth slightly curled with a hint of evil smile, "When the time comes, let's cut the price hard, buy a few more ships, and strive for the price of 1 million ships to be able to get it." ”
"Speaking of which, let me ask," Hearing Zhang Lan say the question of quantity, Xiao Chenxi couldn't help but ask, "How many Krivac-class missile frigates do you plan to buy for modification?" ”
"Four ships," Zhang Lan thought for a while, "I don't know about the weapons and naval battles in the navy, and I don't know how the firepower configuration is carried out, but I estimate that there are 4 of the 30 fishing boats, well, the super large slingshot ship to escort it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem." ”
"Four?" Xiao Chenxi muttered and nodded, "If there are four ships, it is said that it is enough, but I still recommend that you purchase six ships, which is more safe." ”
"Why do you say that?" Zhang Lan was a little puzzled: Isn't four ships enough for her own use?
"It's very simple," Xiao Chenxi said, "the 30 fishing boats you plan are really too big, and it will be impossible for your 30 fishing boats to carry out fishing operations in the same sea area at that time, and it is likely that they will need to operate in 2-4 sea areas, or even more." If fishing operations are carried out in four sea areas, according to the estimated number of fish in different sea areas, there must be a large number of fishing vessels operating in some sea areas and a small number of fishing vessels operating in some sea areas. Instead, it should be equipped with two in sea areas with many fishing boats, and one in places with few, so that it is fine. He asked, "What do you think?" ”
"That makes sense," Zhang Lan nodded, holding her chin and thinking about it, "Anyway, it's not expensive, so it's better to take care of old friends." By the way, what kind of oil is burned by the gas turbine on the Krivac-class missile frigate? Looks like diesel, right? ”
"That's not it, this kind of marine gas turbine can use more oil, diesel, kerosene, aviation kerosene, heavy oil, methanol, ethanol and other fuels can be, and even burn some gasoline or vegetable oil in a short time, such as soybean oil and the like, of course, just in a short time, the use of these fuels for a long time has a great impact on the life of the gas turbine. This thing is one of the least picky eaters. Speaking of this, Xiao Chenxi looked at Zhang Lan with a playful expression, "But the fuel and maintenance costs of these six Krivac-class missile frigates alone every year are a big expense, and I estimate that a considerable part of the money you take out of the sea every year will be filled into the stomachs of these six frigates, and even if the harvest is not good, you may lose money." ”
"No", Zhang Lan smiled very proudly, "that is, it may be a little nervous at the beginning, but after a year or two, those fishermen who go to sea will definitely ask to join our fleet when they see that we can provide protection for them, and join our fleet to let us provide protection, of course we will have to collect protection fees, I estimate that the protection fees we collect alone will be enough to maintain all the costs of these 6 frigates." ”
