Chapter 573: The Difficult Lease on

"Boss, I have signed an agreement with the U.S. government side, the USS Midway conventionally powered aircraft carrier, nine Belnappy-class missile cruisers, twenty-seven Sturgeon-class attack nuclear submarines and twenty Lafayette-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, seven Iwo Jima-class and five Tarawa-class amphibious assault ships, four Sacramento-class supply ships and seven Wichita-class supply ships, two hundred F-15 Eagle fighters, five hundred F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters, and three hundred F-18 Super Hornet carrier-based aircraft, It has now become an asset of the mercenary corps.

"The $1 billion annual aid provided by the US government, and the maintenance subsidy of $50 million for each nuclear submarine are all deducted at one time in the payment, and the first batch of 500,000 tons of nickel-chromium plus titanium alloy steel will be sent to the Black Sea shipyard for 200,000 tons, and the rest will be given again next year, and 100,000 tons of nuclear waste have also begun to be loaded and transported.

"The amphibious assault ship and supply ship have set sail for the Cam Ranh Bay Naval Base, and the nuclear submarine has replaced the fuel rods, maintained the reactor, and overhauled the pipelines and lines, and then sailed to the nuclear submarine base in Wukolan for a second upgrade. The U.S. Air Force will use strategic transport aircraft to transport all aircraft to Titan Base, and upgrades will take place on our turf, paid in batches. Marcus said with a smile.

"Well done, the second-hand goods that the United States and Russia can buy have almost been swept away by us, but the logistical pressure has also doubled, so many fighter jets are a lot of money just for maintenance, and we can't afford to raise so many fighter pilots at the moment,"

"The 168 F-15 Eagle fighters and 696 F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters that were previously purchased, as well as 240 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, were all sent to the base for mothballing, or you could sell them to the outside world.

"All nuclear submarines have entered the stage of upgrading, especially ballistic missile nuclear submarines, all of which have been changed to cruise missile nuclear submarines, and ballistic missiles are a minefield, and if you can, don't touch them. Also, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the military industry department immediately began to develop a conventional subsonic cruise missile, and the data is based on the Tomahawk cruise missile, which is also an income. ”

"The ultimate buyers of US nuclear submarines should still be India and Middle Eastern countries, and South America has already ordered seven attack nuclear submarines and two ballistic missile nuclear submarines, and the rest of the old rules are to implement lease bidding. Iran, Huaxia and other countries can bid for Viktor-class attack nuclear submarines, and the price is still calculated according to the previous batch, in fact, you can bid for external bidding in a week, and first get this batch of Russian second-hand goods. Wu Chen said.

The mercenary corps is going to lease nuclear submarines again, and there are two special batches, the first batch of bidding is 25 former Soviet Union two-and-a-half generation attack nuclear submarines, the famous Viktor class, of which the displacement of the second type has reached 5,600 tons, and the displacement of the third type has reached 6,000 tons.

Why twenty-five, the other six were sealed by Wu Chen in the nuclear submarine base of Wukolan, as a spare nuclear submarine, but also a nuclear submarine for training, these are the six in the best condition, the longest service time is fifteen years, the shortest is only eight years, all have just been released from active duty.

This news suddenly caused a sensation in all countries in the world, those who have the strength to buy are gearing up, and those who don't have the strength are watching the excitement and paralysis on the side, what is wrong with this world, nuclear submarines are the weapons of the big countries, like cabbage to engage in bidding, is there any reason for heaven?

"Wu Chen, on behalf of the Huaxia military, I ordered ten Victor-class attack nuclear submarines, all of which are Type III nuclear submarines, and the service period is hoped to be within 20 years. Lin Qingyi soon called.

The last time the Delta-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, Huaxia was upgraded and transformed by itself, but after observing the nuclear submarines of the exercise fleet, the professionals of the Huaxia Navy found that the gap is the gap, and Huaxia's mechanical and electronic aspects are indeed not as good as the military industry of the mercenary corps, so this time I want to learn the new technology on the spot.

"We don't want to talk about the issue of upgrading and transformation in China, it is impossible, this project involves the cooperation of too many departments, and there will not be a group of senior engineers specially equipped for these 10 nuclear submarines, which is not conducive to overall planning, is a serious waste of resources, will also increase our costs, and will also cause inquiries from the Russian side."

"As for the buyout, it's not that it's not negotiable, but the Huaxia military wants to give me a reason to convince the top level, the mercenary corps is not my own after all, although this organization is small, the interests involved in the nuclear submarine are huge, this time the Victor class has a shorter service life than the Delta class, the starting price is 300 million US dollars, and the financial gap of the mercenary corps is also very large, I can't go too far." Wu Chen said helplessly.

The lease period of the 25 attack nuclear submarines is 10 years, and the annual calculation is 300 million US dollars, which is also 75 billion US dollars, and even if the upgrading and transformation occupies half of the share, there will be 37.5 billion US dollars in profits, which is 3.5 billion US dollars per year, which is not a small number.

What's more, this is the former Soviet Union's two-generation semi-nuclear submarine, the technical indicators are also relatively advanced, and the number is very considerable, according to Wu Chen's estimate, India and Middle Eastern countries will eventually drive to a sky-high rent of 400 million US dollars per year. This thing basically won't participate in actual combat, with the first phase there will inevitably be a second phase, twenty years, so how much should it be?

In fact, the value of these second-hand goods is not so high, and the rent of $100 million a year is a lot, but the problem is that the mercenary corps will not rent it if the price is low, and there is no place to find it if you want to rent it cheaply, how can there be so many nuclear submarines for rent, this is not a joke!

Russia has more than 100 idle second-hand nuclear submarines, but there is no money for renovation, and the service time is too long, so there is no value in continuing to use them. If it weren't for Wu Chen's efforts behind his back, these second-hand goods would still be the main force of Russia's Trinity strike, so the mercenary corps is qualified to ask for a high price, and you can not rent it if it is too expensive!

The mercenary corps is not making money in vain, in addition to upgrading, it is necessary to train the crew, and to maintain the nuclear submarine once a year, as well as to repair and troubleshoot, although the cost is from the other party, but the spare parts need to be provided by the mercenary corps, which is also a large amount of expenses. The Viktor-class attack nuclear submarine is a product of the former Soviet Union, which has long been discontinued, and the spare parts can only be remanufactured, and the low price is really inappropriate.
