Chapter 136: Northern Raiders 1
"This is simply the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, selling us aircraft carriers, but not selling us carrier-based aircraft, have you ever heard such a joke? It's obviously an aircraft carrier that is planned to be decommissioned, and it was sold to us for 50 million dollars, so we don't buy it, okay? Thompson slapped the Admiralty officials on the table as he spoke. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is what Wu Chen explained in advance, the Antonov Bureau will use the technology of the Super Hornet and Su-33 to develop its own carrier-based aircraft, there is no need to buy American planes at all, it is purely a waste of financial resources, and it is easy to say that the price is lower.
The Admiralty also found this matter incredible, and the decision of the Presidential Office and the Department of Defense to retire the two conventionally powered aircraft carriers Kennedy and Kitty Hawk ahead of schedule and sell them to this American company with the color of a private military organization.
But the problem is that the government agrees to sell aircraft carriers, but it is not ready to provide carrier-based aircraft, or rather, it is not ready to sell the other side Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft, but offers to sell them a batch of obsolete Tomcat carrier-based aircraft to avoid the leakage of the most advanced naval fighter technology.
But this decision made the boss of this company extremely dissatisfied, paralyzed, I bought a tattered aircraft carrier that was about to be decommissioned, and you gave me a bunch of decommissioned carrier-based aircraft, what did you treat me as a tattered scrap king?
Because of the strict orders of the presidential palace and the Ministry of Defense, no agreement was reached on carrier-based aircraft, and in the end Thompson made a decision that made people feel incredible, not to buy a single carrier-based aircraft, and just drove the aircraft carrier away.
This decision made the Admiralty generals stunned, this product is really not an ordinary character, you don't have carrier-based aircraft, you bought an aircraft carrier for a fart, and according to the contract, these two aircraft carriers cannot be resold to other countries.
After consultations between the Presidential Office, the Ministry of National Defense, and the Admiralty, for the sake of future strategy, it is still necessary to compensate the Golden Triangle International Security Company to a certain extent, but people have spent $100 million to buy two retired aircraft carriers.
How to do it, there are many retired aircraft in the United States, such as the E-3 early warning aircraft that has been flying for almost 20 years, one Hawkeye E2C early warning aircraft for aircraft carriers, two for the Orion anti-submarine fixed-wing aircraft that has been flying for more than 20 years, and four for each of them, according to five million dollars each!
Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopters for sale, second-hand, of course, ten will work? The sales price of this anti-submarine helicopter is more than 30 million US dollars, which is generous enough, and you can complete all the carrier-based aircraft you need.
"I knew it would be like this, but they shot themselves in the foot, you stay in the United States for the time being to recruit the navy, you must have principles, don't recruit too many people from the naval intelligence department, even if it is to dismantle the weapons and equipment on the aircraft carrier, it will take half a year, we don't need to worry." Wu Chen said with a sneer.
Back in the seat of the cinema, the beauty next to her was watching the movie intently, at this time she was radiant and radiant, how many years of aristocratic temperament precipitation, liberation of the soul washed away the lead, the charm is simply irresistible.
As soon as he sat down, a warm little hand held his palm, Wu Chen smiled slightly, and the wheel of fate finally deviated from the track.
The Ukrainian government announced that more than a dozen scientific research and production institutions, including the Southern Design Bureau and the Antonov Bureau, will formally cooperate with the Haidongqing International Air Transport and Logistics Company on August 1 to jointly form a new enterprise, named Haidongqing-Antonov Aviation Manufacturing Company, which will mainly undertake the manufacture of large transport aircraft and rockets.
Seeing that there was such an enterprise as the Southern Machinery Manufacturing Factory in the list, it immediately aroused strong concern from the United States and Russia.
What is the Southern Machinery Factory, that is the world's famous strategic missile manufacturing base, the famous Satan nuclear missile, is made here, although Ukraine has implemented full denuclearization, but the Southern Machinery Factory can also manufacture rockets and conventional missiles.
This is also a way to do things, these R & D, manufacturing institutions, enterprises, have fallen to the point of paralysis, since the collapse of the former Soviet Union, even wages can not be paid, finally from Bangladesh Haidongqing International Air Transport Logistics Company stretched out an olive branch, which simply made everyone ecstatic, finally able to eat enough.
Haidongqing air transport and logistics company has an absolute controlling stake, the other two together only account for 40 percent, there is no veto power, all the financial power is responsible for Haidongqing company, all the technical data are handed over to Haidongqing company management, the only advantage is that tens of thousands of workers, researchers and experts, from now on no longer have to worry about life.
What everyone didn't imagine was that just a few days after the formation of the new company, the first task of the scientific research institution came.
In the presidential suite of a luxury hotel in Kyiv, Wu Chen met his most important partner Makas, and the core management members of the new company and representatives of the R&D institution.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is my boss, Mr. Wu Chen, and the parent company of Haidongqing International Air Transport and Logistics Company, the actual controller of Atlantis Group, the kind of Chenxu laptop you use is a new product developed by the parent company." Marcas said triumphantly.
Wu Chen opened the computer in front of him, inserted a mobile hard disk, and soon a kind of aircraft information appeared, and the experts took a closer look, and it turned out to be various data and design drawings of the Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft.
"I brought more than a hundred mobile hard disks, the mobile hard disk numbered Su, which belongs to the details of the Su-33 carrier-based aircraft, and the mobile hard disk numbered F, which is the detailed information of the Super Hornet, and my request is to design a brand-new carrier-based aircraft based on the drawings of the Su-33 and Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft, codenamed Shield Defender-1."
"This carrier-based aircraft is divided into two types: conventional take-off and catapult take-off, because we have just bought the USS Kennedy and USS Kitty Hawk aircraft carriers from the United States, which have steam catapults on them, while the Gorshkov aircraft carrier and the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier belong to conventional glide jump take-off, and the time requirement is to complete the design within three months, complete the prototype test flight in the last three months, and start production at the latest early next year." Wu Chen said.
"Mr. Wu Chen, how big is the expected demand for this aircraft, the USS Kennedy and Kitty Hawk aircraft carriers, at most 160 carrier-based aircraft, not even enough, because there are also early warning aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters and other types of aircraft, the Novorossiysk aircraft carrier has a maximum of 12 carrier-based aircraft, and the Gorshkov aircraft carrier has a maximum of 20 carrier-based aircraft." The former senior engineer of the Antonov Bureau asked.
"We don't need to sell it to other countries, you can rest assured that the combination of Su-33 and Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft, I don't know how many countries rush to buy it, this is a leap in the history of carrier-based aircraft, integrating the high-end technology of the two major navies of the former Soviet Union and the United States, and will be an absolute maritime hegemon in the future." Wu Chen said with a smile.
