Chapter 1761 Asking for Help

With the deepening of the exchanges between the Alice Group and the military, at some point, what the Alice Group said can already affect the military's decision to a certain extent, although this trend is not very obvious, but for an equipment supplier who occupies a lot of initiative in military equipment, few people dare to ignore what they say. {Flash Dance Novel Network www.35xs.com} Reading at zero o'clock

In view of the special nature of the military, Lao Liang, who had just taken the position, took the initiative to visit Zhang Zongjun, and made a special call to invite Zhang Zongjun to come over for an interview.

"Lao Liang is stimulated." Zhang Lan gave a definition to Lao Liang's initiative to invite Zhang Zongjun to him.

The Americans are fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan at the same time, although they have not yet won, but on the other hand, it shows that the Americans still have the greatest possibility of victory, and winning two wars under high-tech conditions at the same time is too stimulating for the heads and brains of the domestic military

"Well," Zhang Zongjun nodded, "The Americans have the most powerful weapons in the world and the most advanced combat ideas at present, and this kind of combat thinking may still have an advantage in the next 20 years, and the international situation facing the country is not optimistic, and the government is not optimistic, so the pressure will naturally fall on the military. ”

Zhang Lan nodded, agreeing with his old man's words, "The more than $2 billion they spent at the beginning was really worth it, and the strategic role played by these things that they got back is definitely not comparable to that of $2 billion, and I'm afraid those old men didn't expect that the things they spent $2 billion to get back at the beginning would finally support them for so long." But now it seems that with the gradual adjustment of our national defense strategy, the country's national defense strategy has gradually changed from a defensive type to an offensive and defensive type. ”

The Varyag father and son had a name flashing in their eyes at the same time.

The ship, with the assistance of the Alice Group, arrived in China nearly a year earlier than the original time in history. Although at the beginning of the domestic official attitude that this is a civil affair, in fact, no one will really regard this matter as a purely civilian affair, and the series of actions of the Varyag after coming to the country undoubtedly illustrate this point.

During the three-year period from 2001 to 2004, a large number of Chinese engineers and technicians conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Varyag, and at the same time, the internal renovation of the aircraft carrier, including the living module, working cabin, engine, and power generation equipment, was gradually carried out. In particular, after the introduction of special steel for aircraft carrier decks with high yield strength from the Alice Group, which solved the problem of technology introduction of special steel for aircraft carriers, the Varyag has entered the dry dock last year for hull maintenance.

According to a series of photos published on the Internet, after more than a year of construction, the Varyag has been painted, the bridge part has also been treated with anti-rust, and the deck has completed a preliminary renovation, especially in recent times, the increasing scaffolding, a large number of construction personnel, mysterious containers, the blue-gray paint of the Chinese Navy ships, etc., whether it is foreign or Zhang Lan, they have already believed that the military use of the Varyag aircraft carrier has been revealed, and who believes that the ship is used for entertainment purposes at this time, That's a complete fool.

"The aircraft carrier is good, but ...... What about submarines? Zhang Zongjun still had some doubts in his heart, "At this stage, submarines are our best weapon against the US aircraft carrier battle group, and the military can't give up this, right?" ”

"Of course, submarines are the best weapons and equipment for our country to fight aircraft carriers at this stage, but in essence, aircraft carriers are a defensive weapon under unconventional combat conditions, and they are far from being able to play the deterrent role played by aircraft carriers, so I think that those old men in China who have been bullied over the years are very likely to make up their minds to develop their own maritime mobile deterrence capabilities."

"Moreover, the Kirov and the Glorious are not ground attack weapons after all, in terms of deterrence against the country, although the Kirov and the Glorious are much larger than submarines, they are still inferior compared to aircraft carriers, and how many weapons capable of carrying out ground strikes can these two ships carry in total? And how much can you carry on an aircraft carrier? ”

Zhang Zongjun stopped talking, he was thinking, if Lao Liang, who had just taken up his new position, asked him for help, what would he have to pay? What should I do? Of course, it is absolutely impossible to support the country's national defense construction regardless of everything, and the uninterrupted dealings with the government over the years have made Zhang Zongjun clearly understand what the essence of those politicians who speak of righteousness and righteousness is what it is. ,

Forget it, let's go for a while, anyway, there is nothing to do for the time being, just go out and listen to the old man talk about the mountains. Zhang Lan immediately made a decision.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Lao Zhang, welcome, welcome." Entering Lao Liang's villa area on Yuquan Mountain, the car just drove into the villa where Lao Liang lived, and saw Lao Liang standing at the door of the villa, waiting with a smile on his face.

"Chairman Liang, don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Zhang Zongjun walked down quickly from the car, stepped forward and grabbed Lao Liang's hand, and shook it enthusiastically twice. Having just assumed the position of vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, he became the first person to actually control the army, and reached the peak of his military career in the domestic political map.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you polite to come to me," Lao Liang said with a tiger face, pretending to be unhappy, "Speaking of which, you are also a former soldier under me, and you are still so polite to me?" ”

Zhang Lan couldn't help laughing in his heart when he listened to it later: it was not wrong to say that his old man was a soldier under him, his old man was a small militia company commander at the beginning, and now he is the new Minister of Defense and the first vice chairman of the Military Commission, and he can pull it up so-so; According to age, his old man is much younger than him, and it is not wrong to be called "Xiao Zhang" by him, but at this specific special time, this old man is a little "suspicious", the old superior opened to you, the former "subordinate", can you not agree?

The "battle" for the initiative has already started at the moment when the two first met.

"Chairman Liang, don't dare to take this seriously," how did Zhang Zongjun not understand the confrontation in this? I understand that if I show weakness at this time, I will be in a weak position in today's negotiations, so I naturally insist on accepting Old Man Liang's words, "Although I have always wanted to be a glorious republican in my life, I have never had the opportunity to wear that glorious military uniform, and I can't serve the country, which is my regret." ”

"Hehe, it doesn't matter, speaking of which, your family's contribution to our country is not comparable to wearing a military uniform and being a soldier for two years, the pillar of the country" Lao Liang's mind is still bad

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Lao Liang saw that there was probably really no way to take advantage of Zhang Zongjun, and the methods used on "ordinary" businessmen in the past all failed, so he had to use the method of dealing with Zhang Lan's little bastard to deal with Zhang Zongjun...... In Lao Liang's opinion, Zhang Lan's kid is much more difficult to deal with than Zhang Zongjun, especially when Zhang Lan then came forward to bow and salute him with a smile, Lao Liang's heart was even more depressed.

After the group sat down separately in the house and exchanged greetings again, Lao Liang finally got to the point, "Xiao Zhang, when 'Varyag' returned to the motherland, your Alice Group made great contributions, how much do you know about the current situation of 'Varyag'?" ”

This question needs to be cautious, one carelessly may send a suspicion of "spying on state secrets" to the heart of this old fritter, Zhang Zongjun thought carefully for a moment, and then replied, "I don't know much, all the information about 'Varyag' is learned from the Internet." According to the information published on the Internet, since the "Varyag" returned to China in 2001, from 2001 to 2004 in the three years or so, our engineers and technicians have carried out a comprehensive inspection of the Varyag, and at the same time, the internal renovation of the aircraft carrier, including the living module, working cabin, engine, and power generation equipment, has also been gradually carried out, and has entered the dry dock last year for hull maintenance. According to a series of photos published on the Internet, after more than a year of construction, the Varyag has been painted, the bridge part has also been treated with anti-rust, and the deck has completed a preliminary renovation. Judging by our experience in shipbuilding, if the state has further plans, the Varyag can already move on to the next stage of the construction program. ”

"That's basically it, I didn't expect to be able to learn so much information on the small Internet," Lao Liang sighed with emotion and asked again, "Then what do you think of the statement that the main structure of the Varyag has been seriously damaged and turned into a pile of scrap metal during this period of time?" ”

"It's pure nonsense," Zhang Zongjun replied without hesitation, "This is just a small group of people with ulterior motives, worried that our country is strong and our military is strong, but after being helpless and unable to stop this matter, they can make the last complaint." ”,

Lao Liang smiled and nodded, the fact is true, at the beginning, when it was decided to buy "Varyag" in China, the ** media headed by Pinkov desperately advocated the statement that "the main structure of the Varyag was seriously damaged, making it a pile of scrap iron". This is a widely circulated rumor, and foreign media claim that the extent of damage to the aircraft carrier has been checked in Turkey. They judged that the Varyag had undergone continuous blasting of the fatal parts of the hull, and that the cost of repairing these damaged parts was much greater than the direct construction of a new ship. The internal piping structure has been severely corroded.

It must be admitted that with the well-developed media and information conditions, many people believe the rumor that "the main structure of the Varyag has been seriously damaged, making it a pile of scrap metal".

But if you think about it a little, you can see how ridiculous this statement really is, and it is difficult to imagine how foreign intelligence agencies can check the extent of the damage on the surface of the Turkish sea.

You know, it is an aircraft carrier without electricity and power plant, but after all, this is the ultimate maritime combat weapon developed by the former Soviet Union during the former Soviet Union, and its internal structure is complex, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine, and it is very dangerous to enter the aircraft carrier without a lighting and ventilation system without drawings, and even the ventilation problem alone may kill people, and no one has the ability to go deep into the interior to inspect the structure of the tile in that case

But is it possible that the Ukrainian side will hand over the drawings to NATO, led by the Americans? Of course, it is impossible for Zhang Lan to see these drawings with his own eyes, and it can be concluded that although foreign intelligence officers have climbed the Varyag more than once, it is still very doubtful whether they really went deep into the Varyag without lighting, ventilation, drawings and traffic road maps.

Anyone who goes in has only one possibility: they can't get out of the fog, and even because the hull itself is an excellent shielding material, it is simply impossible to call for help by radio, wired communication? Who can carry a cable of several kilometers into the interior of an aircraft carrier, which is tens of thousands of times more complicated than a labyrinth?

The old man was very satisfied with Zhang Zongjun's judgment, and revealed a real inside message with a smile, "Back then, Ukraine wanted to sell Varyag, but there were very few families, and the price given was very small. ”

"On what terms?" Zhang Lan asked instinctively.

Lao Liang nodded approvingly, China can spend a lot of money to buy such a bunch of things that are "scrap iron" for Ukrainians when no one else is willing to pay, naturally there are conditions, "We told the Ukrainians that we can spend a lot of money to buy this pile of 'scrap iron' of yours, but the premise is that the purchase of the ship must be accompanied by engineering drawings and all documents." ”

At this point, the result can already be imagined, one wants to buy, the other wants to sell, the one wants to buy and the one wants to sell are thousands of miles apart, no matter how strong the one who wants to buy depends on this thing, there will be no effective deterrence and threat relationship between each other, this deal will naturally be easy to succeed, at most after a few negotiations, the two sides should have reached an agreement, and then all the drawings and documents of the Varyag came to China before it.

"In this case, the Varyag is not second-hand, it is just a change of place to continue building. And here, we can give new life and stronger weapons and equipment," Zhang Lan said thoughtfully, "Compared with the former Soviet Union, after years of development, our advantages in electronic equipment are not comparable to those of the former Soviet Union when it built the 'Varyag', and if the 'Varyag' can be formally established into the army, its combat effectiveness will definitely be comparable to that of the 'Varyag''s sister ship: the 'Kuznetsov' aircraft carrier of the Russian Navy." ”

Lao Liang suddenly found that although he had already made an estimate of this kid, he found out now that his estimate of this kid was still low: this kid can think so much based on such a little thing, and there should be a limit to the evil, right?

"So, our country is determined to develop this 'Varyag' into our country's first aircraft carrier?" Zhang Zongjun nodded, "If it is based on the principle of first making things easier and then making them more difficult, it is a good development path to develop the 'Varyag', learn experience from the development of the 'Varyag', train personnel, and develop brand-new weapons and equipment after accumulating a certain amount of experience." ”,

It is indeed good, because even the United States, which has the most advanced aircraft carrier technology, is following such a path.

"Oh? Do you think that the Varyag will be used as a training ship in our country in the future? Lao Liang frowned and asked Zhang Zongjun, obviously, he had heard a lot of this statement.

After seeing that China could no longer stop the development of its own aircraft carrier force, Western countries began to change their previous attitudes, from saying that the "Varyag" aircraft carrier was a pile of useless scrap metal and that the Chinese Navy would buy it as a loser, to saying that the "Varyag" aircraft carrier would be used as a training ship for the domestic navy.

Moreover, in recent times, this kind of statement has been very popular, and many media, including the "Simplified Defense Weekly", have said that the Varyag will be used as a training ship of the Chinese Navy in the future, and Pinkov has been fanning the flames, so many people believe this statement.

Because the non-stop propaganda of Western countries played a great role in making them think that the Varyag was only a hull, and the cost of complete repair was higher than the cost of building a new aircraft carrier, plus the hull design of the "Varyag" was outdated, and it was okay to use it as a training ship, and it could be used as a combat ship? It was purely a live target at sea.

"Pure nonsense" Zhang Zongjun unceremoniously gave a definition, "as long as the Varyag can sail far, as long as a large number of fighters can take off and land on the deck, then it is a combat aircraft carrier, not a training ship...... In essence, an aircraft carrier is a floating airfield at sea. Imagine which country would spend billions of dollars to build a training ship, and which aircraft carrier in the world is a training ship? What country's aircraft carrier is not both a combat ship and a training ship? ”

I wonder if those countries that desperately want to slander China's development of maritime combat forces will want to cry in depression after hearing Zhang Zongjun's comments?

Lao Liang showed a smug smile on his face, although Lao Liang, who has been in a high position for a long time, is completely moody and moody on weekdays, but when he thinks of the slap of these guys on the "Varyag" aircraft carrier, the old man is still overjoyed: these countries, they completely underestimated China's strong strength, and now the Varyag is gradually beginning to repair, and after China vigorously develops its own electronic weapons and equipment, there is a great possibility that it will be equipped with all the latest Chinese shipborne weapons and radars.

However, it would be better if he could get the assistance of Alice Group in this regard, which is why Lao Liang invited Zhang Zongjun here.
