Chapter 750: Chain Reaction (6)

And if a military alliance is signed with Madagascar, then once the fight starts, it can be said that China and the United States are directly on the bar, of course, it is not necessarily the United States is the opponent, it may also be other countries, but no matter which country, as long as it conflicts with Madagascar, the final will definitely be no different from China's direct attack, because Madagascar's military strength is ...... There is no difference between having and not having it.

Although the geographical location of Madagascar is somewhat special, but the main thing to look at is the strength of the navy, but to be honest, China's naval strength is now a little inferior to Japan, not to mention compared with the United States, with the Inner Mongolia this will be greatly improved, but the Inner Mongolia is now not even ready to return to China directly, but first let the training in the waters of Madagascar for three to five months, and then directly set off for China.

Of course, it was accompanied by more than 40 warships, and the number of these warships is about the same as a small aircraft carrier battle group, but after such a fleet was transferred, China now has insufficient warships on its own soil. China cannot be compared with the United States, there are no enemies around the United States, or there are no enemies that can threaten the United States at all, and if it is a little exaggerated, the United States does not even need a navy for coastal defense! The Coast Guard of the National Guard of the United States directly will be able to accomplish this task.

Is it okay to go to China? No way! In China's waters, it is necessary to ensure at least three or more aircraft carrier battle groups to ensure the safety of the coastal waters, and the others can be dispatched, so can China take out the three aircraft carrier battle groups? China's lack of experience in this area will first apply a standard American aircraft carrier battle group: a supercarrier, at least of the Nimitz class (not the Liaoning), two missile cruisers, and four missile destroyers (Burke-class). 1 frigate, 1-2 attack nuclear submarines and a fast support ship.

Not counting integrated supply ships, the number of main combat ships of an aircraft carrier battle group is 1 aircraft carrier, other destroyers, etc. is about 7, and 3 attack nuclear submarines. Then, three aircraft carrier battle groups need three aircraft carriers and more than 20 capital warships, note that this is the main battleship, not all ships can be filled. If the country satisfies the four words of the main warship, let's not talk about the submarine, there is enough in this regard.

However, the missile destroyer is only the main warship equipped with a phase array control radar, but the first 052D in China was launched at the end of August 12, and it has only just been put into service. This is the first one! How much is the gap? Even if you replace it with other ones with slightly worse performance, these domestic destroyers and so on will not be able to keep up.

The first is speed. The new aircraft carrier does not even use the maximum speed. However, the speed of up to more than 30 knots is not something that any ship can keep up with, and to become an aircraft carrier battle group, then it is natural that all ships can move forward at the same speed. Even counting 052C and 052B, this gap is incomparably large.

So, don't look at the fact that the Chinese Navy now has 64 so-called main warships, large and small. 55 attack submarines, more than 40 amphibious landing ships, the rest of the missile patrol boats, etc., not to mention, that is only for coastal defense. In other words. China wants to become a real ocean-going fleet, a blue-water navy, and now warships will be eliminated by more than 80 percent! This is also the reason why China did not build aircraft carriers a few years ago.

Aircraft carriers can be built, but with aircraft carriers you have to have supporting warships, everyone thinks that aircraft carriers are not expensive, China can build them, but don't forget that the price of these supporting warships is definitely not cheaper than aircraft carriers. Probably the supporting ships of an aircraft carrier battle group are equivalent to 1 aircraft carrier combined.

Of course, let's not talk about the Inner Mongolia, after all, this thing is completely beyond the aircraft carrier of an era, and the price is understandable, if it is sold cheaply, then it will arouse everyone's thoughts. “…… Although I am in the Army, I also know what the situation is, I know what the situation is, you can say that we have signed a contract to station the Army and Air Force in Madagascar, but the number is definitely not too big and will not play a big role, so my opinion is that the treaty can be signed, but it will take at least three years! We won't be able to say yes until we have at least two more carrier battle groups. ”

Although there is a contradiction with Yang Yiwei, in this kind of national event, Admiral Yang did not bring in his personal emotions, and the problem he said was indeed a problem. "What do you have to say?" The chairman nodded, and turned to the others, Lin Shengli hesitated for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Okay, I admit that what Lao Yang said makes sense, now our naval strength is indeed insufficient, but the Madagascar government proposed it, and we said that we will sign it in three years?" What do people think? ”

"What do you think, isn't that kid now equivalent to the Emperor of Madagascar, if he deals with this matter from the side, three years is not a problem, right?" Admiral Yang snorted, and then said again, several other generals couldn't help but snicker a few times, but they didn't dare to laugh, they could take the initiative to mention Yang Yiwei, this is already a very good progress, in the past, Admiral Yang would even turn his face when he heard Yang Yiwei's name.

"This can't rely on Xiao Yang, after all, we are a state act." Lin Shengli hadn't spoken yet, but the chairman had decided on this matter, "In addition, I told a few people that the current international situation may not give us three years, according to the assessment of the Strategic Risk Assessment Intelligence Department, I am afraid that the international situation will become more and more aggravated in the next few years, so we must speed up, and ...... Originally, I didn't want to tell you this news, but since the situation is now, I will tell you about it...... General Yang didn't talk about it, and I almost didn't think about it. The chairman smiled wryly.

Everyone immediately looked at the chairman curiously, "You should know the Inner Mongolia, right?" The Chair asked an irrelevant question. Everyone nodded, not knowing what Chairman Lu Dao wanted to say.

"Now the Navy has been familiar with it for about half a month, and weapons tests have also been carried out in the middle, and there are experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the aircraft carrier and so on to evaluate the combat performance of the aircraft carrier, although it has not yet been carried out, but just look at the current test within 50 nautical miles of the offshore sea, the performance of this aircraft carrier is far beyond our thoughts, to put it simply, if we can give full play to its combat effectiveness, it can top the two latest Ford-class aircraft carriers of the United States!" The Chair gave the latest assessment report from Madagascar.

Madagascar sends back all kinds of assessment reports every day, and now those thousands of people can be said to be divided into two shifts to frantically study the performance of the entire aircraft carrier, and the more they study, the more shocking they become. Some people already knew the news, but most of them still didn't know it, and when they heard the chairman say that the two Ford-class ships in the United States were on top, all the generals couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"So, the price offered by the Starfall Group is $12 billion, do you think we still want to build it?" The Chair asked another question.

"Build, of course, although 12 billion is a little more expensive, but as you said, one is the top two in the United States, which is a lot cheaper, the first Ford-class in the United States is more than 15 billion US dollars, although there are design costs, but the Star Fall Group has to design and develop costs? No, although the cost of the second Ford-class ship in the United States is about 8.1 billion US dollars, even if it is calculated according to 8 billion, the two ships are still 16 billion. And the Inner Mongolia, according to the test of relevant personnel, in the whole year of operation and maintenance and other costs are about 20 percent less than the Ford class, the Ford class of the United States government assessment, not counting the construction costs, the total operating cost in 50 years is about 27 billion US dollars, and the Inner Mongolia is only about 21 billion US dollars, even if it is expensive, it is completely acceptable. Lin Shengli didn't think about it, so he said directly.

From the proficiency in Lin Shengli's words, it is known how much Lin Shengli has been interested in the Inner Mongolia recently, and this series of numbers has made him almost become a professional. After hearing this, the other members of the Military Commission also nodded, it is indeed more expensive, but Lin Shengli is right, you can not say 1 top 2, and the operation cost has also been reduced, and then counting the actual treatment gap between China and the United States, materials, etc., the estimated cost of this operation cost can be reduced by at least about ten percent.

"Well, since everyone agrees to build it, but I won't say much about how much we spend on it, I mentioned this to Xiao Yang, and he even said that if we want to build it in China, he can even provide us with interest-free loans, in other words, the Star Fall Group can give us advance money to build, and the interest can not even be needed, but we have to face a problem." The chairman smiled wryly.

Everyone looked at each other, and everyone thought it was because of financial problems, but when they heard it, the Starfall Group could advance funds, tens of billions of dollars, and hundreds of billions of RMB is a huge amount for the Chinese government...... But for the Starfall Group. Don't forget that Yang Yiwei has more than a trillion dollars in cash in his hands, which is a drop in the bucket, and there is no pressure to lend money to the state.

What's wrong with that? "People are willing to provide funds for us to build, and even no interest, but I asked, the shipyard production capacity of Starfall Group is very strong! It only takes one year for the Starfall-class aircraft carriers to start from laying the first keel and fully handing them over to us for service after the most reluctance! "The chairman finally said the biggest problem!

"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned, a year? Such a large aircraft carrier? That's right! Even if this is such a crazy period as World War I and World War II, the speed of shipbuilding in various countries is not so terrifying!

"It's really a year, so do you know what the problem is? If we place an order now...... Aircraft carriers have been produced, but there are not enough of our supporting ships! The chairman smiled wryly. Many of China's main warships are about to retire, and the production of supporting ships for aircraft carrier battle groups cannot keep up with the production speed of aircraft carriers...... If this is said, who would dare to believe it? (To be continued......)
