Chapter 330: Lifting a Rock and Shooting Yourself in the Foot
"I said that you Americans are generous enough, and actually gave us ten Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines for nothing, and also provided a large amount of money and all the cutting-edge technology, and also gave away so many submarine-launched missiles, Shenma situation?"
"Wait, there are additional clauses to this, the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine must be transformed into a cruise missile nuclear submarine within four years, and twenty Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines must be upgraded in eight years, this condition is a bit strange!" After Wu Chen received a call from Selina, he hurriedly returned to Los Angeles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My man is the best, look at these terms, what can you think of?" Selena said with a smile. The spiritual leader of the mercenary corps is also the absolute central figure, and if you can't even see through the tricks here, it will be hell.
"Oh, it turned out that I was afraid that the Golden Triangle Federation would build nuclear submarines on a large scale and pose a threat to the United States, and I was also worried that I would cooperate with Russia and let my old adversary get a lot of money, this is a fragrant big cake, and the shelf life is a little short, it depends on my appetite!" After a little pondering, Wu Chen understood the intention of the US government.
This is the easiest way, but also the most effective way, in the other party's opinion, the shipyard that the Golden Triangle Federation can upgrade nuclear submarines is the Black Sea shipyard, and the full force may barely be able to complete this indicator, after all, there are not too many places to transform.
In other words, within ten years, the Golden Triangle Federation will have absolutely no strength to build new submarines, or even new aircraft carriers. The term of the contract is ten years, and if it is not completed for ten years, it is considered a force majeure factor!
But such conditions can't be regarded as a pit person, the benefits are great, the Americans pay money and technology to help you complete the upgrade of twenty-four world-class nuclear submarines, Ohio-class and Los Angeles-class in another thirty years, that is also one of the best nuclear submarines, this is the performance of deep pockets, this is the confidence and domineering of the superpower!
But the Americans don't know that the strength of the Golden Triangle Federation is in Ukolan, where the industrial base left by the former Soviet Union has been combined by Wu Chen into a huge military industrial cluster, and these nuclear submarines do not make major changes, but only upgrade weapons and equipment and electronic systems, with the technical support of the United States, it will not take ten years, at most four years can be completed.
The Borean God ballistic missile nuclear submarine and the Yasen-class attack nuclear submarine are actually Russian-made shells, and the rest are done in Ukolan and the Golden Triangle, and these secrets Americans will not know if they want to break their heads.
The Red Sormovo Shipyard and Cam Ranh Bay Shipyard are the two trump cards in Wu Chen's hands, one is specialized in the production of nuclear submarines, and the other is specialized in the manufacture of aircraft carriers, but also can assemble nuclear submarines, Wu Chen slapped the table and took it!
"Isn't it just ten decommissioned nuclear submarines, and with so many additional conditions, look at what excites you, it tosses me for a night, it's really useless!" The two of them hadn't gotten up at eleven o'clock in the morning, and Selena complained about Wu Chen with infinite amorous feelings, but the coquettishness after extreme satisfaction had already exposed her psychological activities.
"Just kidding, apart from me, look at which country the United States has given a nuclear submarine, especially the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, the relationship between the British is iron enough, and it is still not good!" Wu Chen stretched out his hand to explore the snow peak where Selena stood tall, feeling all kinds of satisfaction in his heart.
The Americans did things very efficiently, the drawings and technical data were sent to the ship design institute of the Black Sea Shipyard, Wu Chen's order was to use all the resources of Ukolan to produce weapon systems, and the electronic systems were handed over to the base in the Golden Triangle for manufacturing, and the Americans gave each one an upgrade fee of 200 million US dollars, and the upgrade should be completed with quality and quantity, and in the future, these 24 nuclear submarines will also be an important part of the strategic strike force of the Golden Triangle Federation!
"We are seriously short of resources in the Golden Triangle, especially coal, so we need to build nuclear power plants, and we hope that the United States can help us with the technology of pressurized water reactors, and support the equipment and funds for the units."
"The Golden Triangle needs five pressurized water reactor nuclear power units, Jingdong City needs three heavy water reactor nuclear power units, and the Andaman Islands needs to import technology from Canada to build three heavy water reactor nuclear power units in the Andaman Islands and three pressurized water reactor nuclear power units in the Nicobar Islands, all with a power generation capacity of 1,000 kilowatts." Wu Chen made a request.
According to the current price system, the estimated cost of a pressurized water reactor nuclear power unit with a power generation capacity of 1,000 kilowatts per hour is about $1.5 billion, and eight units are $12 billion, while the investment in nuclear power plants for heavy water reactor nuclear power units is about $2 billion, and the investment in nuclear power plants for six reactors is about $12 billion.
In other words, the total cost of these three nuclear power plants is $24 billion, of which nuclear power units account for $12 billion, or 50 percent, infrastructure construction accounts for $9.6 billion, or 40 percent, and personnel costs $2.2 billion, or 10 percent.
"The development of nuclear power plants in the Golden Triangle is expected, there are no resources in this place, and if you want to get enough electricity, you must take the road of nuclear power plants, and the reason why nuclear power plants are divided into two categories is that they are worried about being sanctioned by nuclear materials, and heavy water reactors can solve this problem." said the Minister of Defense.
"Although the U.S. economy is very strong now, this economic aid is not a small amount, but there is a problem, if we don't agree, this group of mercenaries will definitely follow the Russian path, which is an obstacle to our plan to suppress the construction of the Russian Navy and implement the maritime strategy, and the mercenaries think differently from us." The CIA director said.
"This matter is easy to handle, we can provide them with unit equipment, the manufacturing cost of our own enterprises can be reduced a lot, we will buy the heavy water reactor in Canada on our behalf, the nuclear power unit as a support project, and the remaining $12 billion is in the nature of a loan, which will be paid off within ten years, so that they will have no funds to build nuclear submarines." Mr. President was far-sighted, and as soon as he made a move, he restrained the key point of the Golden Triangle Federation.
According to Wu Chen's requirements, the nuclear power plants in the Andaman Islands and the Nicobar Islands must be built on relatively high ground or with barriers to prevent huge losses caused by tsunamis.
Now the trouble comes, the operation of the nuclear power plant requires a lot of water resources, it is definitely not possible to build it in a high place, the cost will increase a lot, it can only be built in a valley, where there is a water source nearby, so the Federal Government of the Golden Triangle signed a loan agreement with the United States, and began to survey, which is a first-class major event.
