[213] A missile speedboat without missiles
What was the situation of the previous naval battle in the Taiwan Strait?
Two weeks ago, the North Sea Fleet received orders from the Central Military Greatness and marched all the way south to open the shipping lane, enter and block the Taiwan Strait. While ensuring that transport ships and landing craft transported the 23rd Army and various supplies to Fujian, the supply of Taiwan Island to Kinmen Island was cut off.
This kind of naked slap in the face, how can the Taiwan Navy be willing to be captured!
As a result, in the first battle, they encountered the escort transport fleet of the Taiwan garrison Grand Fleet. Deng Zhaoxiang didn't say a word, and sent the 024 missile speedboat up for a long-range strike, and then the 037 hunting submarine rushed up to clean up the battlefield. Halfway through the battlefield, Taiwan's backup ships arrived, so the 024 missile speedboat went up again and struck hard, killing all the remaining upstream anti-ship missiles. 037 plugged in and fought with a bayonet, ending the naval battle simply and rudely. It's as simple as that.
After this battle, Deng Zhaoxiang was secretly frightened, and the most proud little hammer in his hand was the 024 missile speedboat, but after the Battle of Zhoushan, only 7 of the 10 024s were left, and six of them had only one missile left. By the end of this encounter, all ten 024 missile boats had become missile-free airboats. In this battle, two 037 hunting submarines were damaged, but fortunately, the problem was not big, and they could still hold on to the battle.
Deng Zhaoxiang ordered: "All seven 024 missile speedboats will immediately go north, return to the Qingdao base, and together with the three that went back before, repaint and wait for the supply of missiles." Two wounded 037 hunting submarines went north to the Jiangnan shipyard in Puhai for simple repairs. ”
After giving the order, Deng Zhaoxiang used the Xicaracal to contact Lin Zundao: "Captain Lin, as soon as the missile speedboat leaves, it will be difficult to fight in the next battle." ”
Lin Zun replied calmly on the Naitong frigate: "Actually, I still want to test the power of the ship's guns, all the way down, all relying on the 024 missile speedboat to make meritorious contributions, my idle hands are about to rust, and my gun commander also complains that there is no place to use." ”
The news of the North Sea Fleet's ten 024 missile speedboat missiles running out reached the PLA Navy Command, Commander Xiao Jinguang was also helpless, it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and the missiles purchased by Xiaoqiang had not yet arrived, which made him a commander who could not do anything, he hurriedly called to urge, and after asking, he learned that Xiaoqiang had been "on a business trip", so Commander Xiao began to live with his fingers, looking forward to Xiaoqiang coming back quickly and bringing the missiles that his old Xiao thought about day and night.
The Navy's General Command, having analyzed several recent naval battles, was so impressed by the power of the missiles that the Navy has now stopped repairing all old gunboats. Commander Xiao ordered to concentrate the limited military expenditure and build and improve the Qingdao naval base. At the same time, the navy also proposed to the central authorities that research institutes and factories be set up as soon as possible to imitate and produce upstream-1 anti-ship missiles and 024 missile speedboats.
Commander Xiao pondered that after the North Sea Fleet lost these 10 024 missile boats, it might be difficult to block the strait. He didn't want any accidents with these baby bumps in his hands, so he hurriedly contacted Commander Liu Yalou of the Air Force.
"Lao Liu, where is the naval aviation you promised me? How many torpedo planes have you trained now? ”
Air Force Commander Liu Yalou said with a haha: "Lao Xiao, don't worry, haven't you already helped you train a group of bombardment torpedo pilots, and I will hand it over to you next week along with the Naval Aviation School." ”
Commander Xiao threatened: "Don't think I don't know, your H-5 bombers have already formed a division!" There are two regiments under its jurisdiction! Four brigades are almost 50! There are only 43 five-class torpedo planes in my navy, and they are in your hands, and you have only trained a brigade for me until now, are you too biased? ”
Commander Liu Yalou hurriedly said: "You old Xiao! Don't be aggrieved, torpedo machines are really hard to practice! I'm already at the fastest speed. Anyway, I'll hand over a brigade to you next week, along with the aviation school, and then you can train yourself and see if you can be faster than me. ”
As soon as Commander Xiao heard this, he immediately smiled on the phone: "Look at you, look at you, don't you want me to complain, I'm also anxious, then you hurry up, I can wait for the employment of people." Now the task of the navy blockading the Taiwan Strait is very heavy, and the 10 missile speedboats in my hands have already used up all the missiles. ”
Commander Liu Yalou of the Air Force shouted into the phone with a black line in his head: "You old Xiao, aren't you cheating?" There is no one who will not be hit by artillery in a war, even if the plane flies in the sky, he is afraid of anti-aircraft guns. Didn't you say at the previous combat meeting of the navy, land and air force that the 8th Division of our Air Force would help you bomb the Taiwan Naval Base in Kaohsiung's Zuoying, what are you afraid of? I don't believe that after the bombing, the old Chiang fleet still dared to come out to find fault. ”
Commander Xiao smiled happily when he heard this: "Then you hurry up, I'll wait for your news." ”
After hanging up the phone, Commander Xiao thought, "It's better to ask for others than for yourself!" When a large group of the Navy has received the bombardment of the five torpedo planes, then with the torpedo planes to cooperate with the warships, it will be more certain to blockade the strait. ”
Xiaoqiang was in the office, stunned by the approval of the follow-up payment that had just been signed, and the new payment list of the company's finance department came out, and there was only 67.2 billion cash left in the company's account. And this afternoon, he will go to the Ministry of State to discuss the procurement of military shipyards.
After coming back this time, Xiaoqiang was informed by Li Mubai that the Ministry of State had agreed to sell him a complete set of military shipyard equipment, which could manufacture and repair the 051 Brigade large-class destroyer, the 053H Jianghu-class frigate and all other naval ships that Xiaoqiang had purchased in the early stage.
All the equipment and materials of this shipyard add up, and the asking price is 2.5 billion yuan.
According to the analysis report of the company's shipbuilding industry team, Xiaoqiang knows that the current Shijie shipbuilding market is sluggish, although this price includes warship manufacturing, but it is still a little high, so he is ready to go to the Ministry of State in the afternoon to bargain to see if it can be cheaper.
After coming to the Ministry of State, Xiaoqiang had a greeting with Li Mubai and Yuan Kedi, and then got to the point.
"Uncle Yuan, let me be honest, your price is a bit expensive, although I can accept it, but there are additional conditions."
Yuan Kedi said quietly: "Tell me about it." ”
Xiaoqiang said: "I look at this contract, it is basically equivalent to a warship assembly and construction plant, marine steel and equipment, and even marine power equipment are not involved, my customer is equivalent to buying an assembly plant to go back, it is really not cost-effective." I hope to introduce it as a complete set and achieve 100% localization. ”
When Yuan Kedi heard it, he knew that the drama was coming, and the reason why he called Xiaoqiang to discuss it was to prepare to add a sum of money to the later purchases. If Xiaoqiang agrees, he will not suffer, anyway, the warships you build next are inseparable from the raw materials provided by China.
"Your African customer jishu foundation is relatively weak, according to you, there is not even a shipbuilding school, a large number of shipbuilding mechanics still need training, I think you should not be in a hurry to eat a fat man, first start with assembly, a little bit of the project is more secure, I can provide you with an additional 100 shipbuilding schools free study abroad places, you can let your customers come to receive training first."
Xiaoqiang frowned, and said in his heart that it would be easy if he could bring someone to the training, but I couldn't do it, otherwise I would have brought someone here a long time ago.
"My client hopes that you can provide a complete video teaching CD for my country, and my country can translate it by itself and open schools in China to cultivate talents, which is more practical than a few international student quotas. After all, many African students are reluctant to return to China after coming to China, and they may go to work in other countries after completing their studies. Even in China, isn't there a lot of international students who are reluctant to return to China after completing their studies? ”
Yuan Kedi nodded and said, "What you said is right, okay, I agreed." Even if it's compensation for this price. ”
Xiaoqiang was very satisfied with the support of Jishu for the construction of the shipbuilding industry school, and according to the purchase list given by the newly established Sixth Machinery Department in 1950, he continued:
"I would also like to be able to get a marine high- and medium-speed diesel engine plant, including the transfer of a range of models of means of production. A marine instrumentation plant, a hydroacoustic equipment plant that can produce sonar, a marine special auxiliary plant that produces marine radar and communication equipment, an underwater weapons plant that can produce weapons such as torpedoes and depth charges, a marine battery factory, and a large marine motor factory. The level of these factories does not need to be too high, it can reach the level of shipbuilding in our country in the 80s. These purchases could have been made from the private sector, but we believe in the credibility of the Chinese government and hope that the experts from the Ministry of State can provide us with corresponding supporting options. ”
As soon as Yuan Kedi heard it, he knew that Xiaoqiang came prepared this time, he nodded and said: "Since you are determined to be completely localized, then I will calculate the quotation for you." ”
After that, he took out the list he had prepared and read:
"The approximate cost of the marine medium and high-speed diesel engine factory is 2 billion yuan, and I will give you all the models of medium and high-speed diesel engines independently developed by China at the level of the 80s.
Marine Instrumentation Factory: I can give you the Navy's former 77124 Factory, the equipment of this factory is a bit outdated compared to the present, and it is currently being stopped for rectification, and the old equipment is idle. All the equipment plus jishu information, I count you 150 million.
The underwater acoustic equipment factory will give you the old equipment of the 77160 factory, which is also the current sonar supporting factory of the Navy, some of the old equipment has been transformed to produce new models, and I will also give you a customized match, which is also counted as 150 million for you.
The marine special auxiliary engine factory counts you 1 billion, the underwater weapons factory counts you 500 million, the marine battery factory counts you 100 million, and the marine motor factory counts you 100 million, all add up...... I'll do the math......"
Yuan Kedi pressed the calculator like an accountant, and said after calculating: "4 billion." ”
