The news from Jill made Zhang Lan a little surprised, things are as expected, the country really plans to make great efforts to develop the navy, this meeting, the Ministry of Defense for the first time clearly asked the Alice Group, can they undertake some research and development work in the repair process of the Varyag・・・・・・ according to the consistent rules of our official speech, this sentence really wants to ask; Are you, Alice Group, willing to take on the task of overcoming the most difficult difficulties encountered in the restoration process?

This is an obviously thankless thing, the repair work of the Varyag has been clearly arranged before, and the repair work was handed over to the Dalian shipyard to complete, and now, even if the Alice Group can complete the work more perfectly and quickly than the Dalian shipyard, in this kind of problem, it is impossible for the central side to replace the repair manufacturer again, so it means that the Alice Group has become the so-called "hero behind the scenes", and after the repair of the Varyag is completed and launched, it will begin official service, All the cheers and applause belong to the Dalian shipyard and have nothing to do with the Alice Group.

But Zhang Lan doesn't see it that way, at this time, Ya is not so worried that she will be cheated by others, joke! At this point, who dares to cheat buddies? It's a big joke.

Zhang immediately told Jill, "Tell them that our Alice Group can take this job forward, as long as they can afford to pay a sufficient price." ”

Sure enough, after making it clear that Alice Group is willing to dare to be a "behind-the-scenes hero", the benefits of Alice Group being a "behind-the-scenes hero" are delivered; At the same time as repairing the "Varyag", the Ministry of Defense asked the opinion of the Alice Group whether it is capable of starting construction of a completely new aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of more than tons and a standard displacement of more than 650 tons?

Even the Ministry of Defense, for its part, has made its own outlook; If possible, it is better to be nuclear-powered.

There is no way, compared with conventional power, the almost general navigation capability of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is really too incomprehensible, and the deterrence capability of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier against neighboring countries is absolutely incomparable.

For the Republic, the deterrence capability of an aircraft carrier is really limited, even if you count your own strategic bombers and other things, the targets that can be threatened are only those monkeys on the border with our country and Southeast Asia, but this threat is not all-weather, and the effect can only be seen when our national defense strategy is appropriately adjusted and our aircraft carrier is not going to the gate of their house a few times.

Of course, the Oriental monkeys and sticks must not be comfortable in their hearts, but with the support of their American godfathers, although they are afraid, they can still harden their mouths and want to chirp at us, but this is not a problem, we all know what they think in their hearts.

However, if you can keep it. The strategic forces of the three aircraft carriers are not the same thing for the Oriental monkeys, the little sticks, and those monkeys in Southeast Asia who dare to jump around casually, according to the principle of one resting, one strategic duty, and one training, at any time the Republic can maintain sufficient deterrent forces in the relevant sea areas.

In response to the Ministry of Defense's inquiry, Jill, on behalf of Alice Group, confidently said, "There is no problem, don't say that two ships start construction at the same time, even if four ships start construction at the same time, there is no problem, nuclear-powered?" That's fine, as long as you have enough money. ”

There's nothing wrong with that.

After determining that the Alice Group does have the ability to start construction of two large nuclear-powered aircraft carriers at the same time, the Ministry of Defense was very excited, and immediately allocated a fund to let the Alice Group start the preliminary research and development work・・・・・・ in fact, everyone knows that this is just going through the motions, and the Alice Group has already been the boss of Oracle, Ellison, who doesn't know whether it should be said to be a gambling ship or an aircraft carrier, isn't it the strange aircraft carrier that Alice Group helped him make, No shipyard has ever dared to undertake the construction of such a super-large ship, not even the Spanish shipyard Bazin, which is famous for building small "civilian versions" of aircraft carriers. ,

As for the issue of carrier-based aircraft, after confirming that the Alice Group was willing to accept this important task, the Ministry of Defense again asked Gil whether he would be willing to assist several major domestic aviation aircraft manufacturing companies in developing the Republic's own carrier-based aircraft.

This joke is a bit of a big joke, and now who in the world does not know that Alice Group is the world's most technologically advanced manufacturer of aerospace? With the manufacturing capabilities of several major domestic aviation flag manufacturers such as Shenfei, Xifei or Hafei, let Alice Group assist them?

Jill was immediately furious! Slammed the table and glared angrily at the Ministry of Defense official in front of him who was looking at him in fear, but trying to maintain his image in front of him, "I wonder if you have made a mistake about a major question?" With the technical R&D and manufacturing strength of those companies, you asked me to assist them with the Minis Group? ”

"This ・・・・・・ Jill Xiaoji, I'm afraid you misunderstood," the poor colonel, who was sent to deal with Jill because the backstage was not hard enough, had an ugly expression on his face as if he had eaten a handful of dead flies, and his mouth trembled several times before he made his words clear, "What we mean is・・・・・・Well, in terms of the signature on the external documents, can your Alice Group be ranked a little lower?" ”

Now Jill understands, damn the face problem!

Of course, at some point, this issue of face can also escalate into a political issue... ・・The launch of three aircraft carriers is of course a good thing, but the question is what to do when it comes to publicity? If according to the standard "convention" of the past, of course, it is a huge state-owned enterprise united, and everyone gives full play to the tenacious fighting spirit of the older generation of the first generation who are not afraid of hardship and death, and gnaw down these big hard bones. But now? Could it be said that all these things were handled by Alice Group?

In this way, public opinion is too bad, what will the people say? We pay trillions of taxes a year, what are you all eating? For such a big thing, do you have any other role than paying Alice Group?

If everything was done by the Alice Group itself, and several large enterprises did nothing on the side, it would be a bit unusual, but the question now is, who would dare to erase the things of the Alice Group? In desperation, this is the only way to do it; Discuss with the people of Alice Group, the main people who do things and the benefits are you, and the other guys can follow you to do a chore, as long as their names are ranked first when they are publicized to the outside world.

Supposedly, with the Republic's consistent "arrogant" tradition, this kind of thing actually doesn't need to be discussed with the Alice Group, and they have done similar things I don't know how many times, but the question is that the situation has not changed now, and the Alice Group is really something that can make them very jealous... ・・Since the hard ones can't work, let's just go to the soft ones#, and talk to them well, there should be no problem, right?

"I see," Jill frowned, wondering if the Alice Group should be doing this. Do it. It stands to reason that this kind of thing is just to fool the people, those who really have business dealings with the Alice Group and have been at a certain level can't hide it at all, they will all know what's going on, but Jill is wondering, now, is it necessary for the Alice Group to cooperate with them to cheat?

The poor liaison officer looked at Jill with a blank look and a bitter expression, lest Jill say a "no"; In other words, before he came, the leader told himself that this matter was a political task, and if he couldn't complete it, he would have to bear political responsibility... ・・For anyone in the system, taking on the so-called "political responsibility" is the last thing they want to do in their lives.

"Well," Jill thought for a moment, "I can't answer that question right now, I need to ask for advice." ”

The poor liaison officer breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was much lighter; Although Jill did not agree, he did not directly refuse, which shows that they are willing to consider this offer.

For myself, this result is already the best result I could think of before I came.

"Okay," the poor liaison officer nodded happily, thought about it, and felt that this was not safe, in order to add an insurance to his epaulettes, the poor liaison officer finally mustered up his courage, hesitated, gritted his teeth and revealed a little bit of the news he knew, "Miss Jill, there is a piece of news, or it may have some effect on you." ”

"Huh? Please speak. Jill raised her eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing across her face; Could it be that there is any news that I don't know?

"Well, this is just something I overheard, and it hasn't been confirmed until now, and this news is not something I'm qualified to know..." ”

An attack nuclear submarine assigned to an aircraft carrier battle group?!

Jill's eyes widened instantly!

According to the current aircraft carrier combat force allocation of militarily developed countries, an aircraft carrier needs to have at least three to five attack nuclear submarines as an underwater attack and escort force, but the republic's attack nuclear submarines ・・・・・・ to be honest, so far, they have only solved the problem of having and not having them, and they have considerable combat effectiveness, but compared with the four major nuclear submarine powers of the United States, Russia, Britain, and France, there is still a considerable gap in terms of technical level and combat strength.
