Chapter 225: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid
When he got home, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, Wu Chen fell asleep, and did not wake up until the evening, not naturally waking up, but being woken up by Thompson's phone call, and the strategic cooperation negotiations with the US government encountered a problem. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The U.S. government actually made an exception to give nuclear submarines, and it was the Lafayette ballistic missile nuclear submarine, but these nuclear submarines have been decommissioned, but they don't want to give away things for free, and Thompson also feels very entangled, and it's a pity not to spend money on things.
"I reiterate a principle, in the future, all the weapons and equipment of the mercenary corps, we must develop and manufacture them ourselves, so that we will not be coerced by the other party with accessories and technical services, even if the other party does not want to give money in vain, then we have to see how the condition is, it must be the equipment in active service in the United States, otherwise it will not be given away for nothing, this is actually second-hand goods, I want to vomit when I hear this word now."
"Grass, Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, what do we want all that, aren't there enough decommissioned nuclear submarines? In this way, the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine is planned to be decommissioned ten in the near future, and this is the only way to go, so it is also a fifth-generation nuclear submarine, and the technology and performance are okay. ”
"By the way, during the negotiations, Spruance-class destroyers and Perry-class frigates, you can ask for more, the U.S. government likes to use these old warships as favors, and our biggest killer weapon is submarines, do you understand what I mean?" Wu Chen said lazily.
In the past, when he first started his business, there was absolutely no reason not to give things for nothing, but now it is different, and Wu Chen thinks more long-term. The mercenary corps has no fixed source of troops, and its financial income is unstable, so it really can't afford to raise so many nuclear submarines.
This thing is not bought as scrap metal, a nuclear submarine needs $100 million a year to operate, and more than 40 ships are more than $400 million, there is no need for this.
The Marshal Usnodiv, a missile cruiser with a full load displacement of 25,000 tons, was cleaving the wind and waves in the sea, and Makas stood on the deck, looking at the nuclear submarines in the distance, feeling proud in his heart.
At this moment, there are two Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopters and one Ka-31 early warning helicopter overhead, with the Dreadnought Hyundai-class guided missile destroyer on the left, the Invincible Hyundai-class guided missile destroyer on the right, followed by a large supply ship.
After more than two months of overhaul and maintenance, the nuclear submarines were brought back to life, and the engineers of the Russian Navy replaced the damaged silencing tiles for the nuclear submarines, maintained the hulls, and also replaced the fuel once, and maintained the nuclear reactors and steam turbines.
In addition, the weapon system has been greatly replaced, and the current three types of nuclear submarines of the Delta class are capable of launching the Qingzhou-class SS-N-23 submarine-launched ballistic missile, four 533-millimeter torpedo tubes, and can launch Garnet strategic cruise missiles and various types of torpedoes.
Such a huge nuclear submarine formation and fleet naturally caused panic in many countries, and the Russian Navy came forward to explain, Balabala said that this is a ballistic missile nuclear submarine that is ready to be sent to Ukolan for dismantling, except for the power system, the weapon system is no longer working, and there is not a single missile on it.
It's strange to believe you, when did you Russians talk about credit? Along the way, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Indonesia, India and other countries have dispatched warships and aircraft to monitor.
More than 40 nuclear submarines, this kind of strategic and tactical strike force hidden in the sea, the third brother can't swallow it in one gulp. Paralyzed, why do you dismantle such a good nuclear submarine, you can sell it to us, India doesn't dislike the long service life, spend some money on tinkering, and it can hold on for another twenty years!
The formation made a three-day break in the port of Berbera in Somalia, entered the Red Sea route, crossed the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, crossed the Istanbul Strait, entered the Black Sea, and finally reached the destination of the Ukolan Balaklava nuclear submarine base.
"Marcas, the U.S. Navy wants us to receive a batch of decommissioned Lafayette-class nuclear submarines, adopt the same model as the Russian Navy, and dispose of them to us in the name of dismantling, but listen to the boss, I don't want to give them away for nothing, what do you think?" Thompson called.
"Russia's Delta-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines have been in service for about 25 years now, the second has been in service for 20 years, and most of the third has only been in service for 10 to 15 years.
"And although the Lafayette-class of the United States is also a third-generation ballistic missile nuclear submarine, it has been in service for more than 35 years, and the inevitable aging of submarines, the degree of compression resistance and sturdiness has been greatly reduced, such a nuclear submarine must not be wanted, and the US government is simply joking to send us with such!"
"We used to be really poor, when we started a business, we were lucky to be able to buy second-hand goods, but now we have our own military industrial system, the kind of thinking that picking up the basket is the vegetable, we must completely change it, and if we don't come up with something real, the so-called strategic cooperation is insincere." Marcus also said no.
Yes, the Golden Triangle International Security Company looks down on the Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, and says that it wants the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, this request almost made the Admiralty generals suffocate their faults, you really dare to ask for it!
Then again, what is the most important thing about a nuclear submarine, it is a nuclear missile that paralyzes it! Without this thing, nuclear submarines have at most one more survivability than conventional submarines, and unlimited endurance, and the rest of the functions are not a big deal.
"Mr. President, Mr. Minister, the Golden Triangle International Security Company not only wants ten Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, but also Ticonderoga-class missile cruisers and Burke-class destroyers, the Air Force requires a squadron of F-15 Eagle fighters, and as for the Army's armament, we are required to support the full set of equipment of two air assault divisions and one armored division."
"In terms of ammunition, there are even more scaring people, anti-ship missiles, anti-tank missiles, air-to-air missiles, air-to-ground missiles, anti-aircraft missiles, cruise missiles, rockets, conventional aerial bombs, and even artillery shells and bullets, which is really a bit excessive."
"It's not that we can't afford it, even if the stock reserves are more than ten times more than this amount, but I think that as a mercenary corps responsible for small-scale conflicts in the region, there is no need to have such powerful firepower, which will cause hidden dangers." Mr. Deputy Minister, who was in charge of the negotiations, was very worried.
