Chapter 340: Battleship Commencement (1)

When speaking, Ivan. Valkajevich did not forget to observe Yang Hao.

Counting it, they haven't seen each other for quite some time. One is that the orders between the two sides are gradually decreasing, and the other is that James is mostly involved in negotiating some equipment and ammunition and second-hand equipment required by defense companies.

However, Yang Hao's strange mercenary armament can provide Ivan with a lot of orders. For example, not long ago, James just got a batch of individual missiles from him that flowed from the battlefields of West Asia, and got some intelligence information about it.

Ivan judged from this that they wanted to shift their main business to the hottest West Asia, the big hole in Afghanistan, but they didn't want to touch the mold.

In more than a year, the transaction between the two sides amounted to tens of millions of dollars, which is a considerable order, and can even rank among the world. After all, except for the five major hooligans who have hundreds of millions of tanks, warships, aircraft, advanced artillery systems, or rocket artillery, there are not many ordinary small lists. Although the African market is not worried about no business, the quota of each batch is not high. In addition to AK, RPG, and other things that are neat and uneducated, other weapons that are slightly valuable and high-grade are difficult to buy.

No matter how big the good guys are, they have to face the threat of the five gangsters, not to mention anything else, Kenya's neighbor Tanzania, and several other countries, which are all China's territory. West Africa, North Africa and other places, and the old colonies of Britain and France, where Yankee's defense companies and oil companies joined forces to pan for gold and did countless unconscionable deeds.

Therefore, it is difficult to play a big order in such a place where such powers gather. It's also quite unwise.

Ivan after providing a series of drawings of the gun and ammunition production line. Judging that there are not so many transactions in the future. But I didn't expect it to be just yesterday. Unexpectedly received a call from James, he was thrilled and flew over on a special plane.

Seeing Yang Hao again after half a year, Ivan obviously felt an unusual change. The young man in his twenties exudes an oppressive power in his bones, and although he still smiles brightly and warmly, he can no longer see the immaturity that is exposed when he meets for the first time.

This inexplicably reminded him that it seemed that many African warlords he had dealt with before. Even the military leaders of some small countries do not seem to be as impressive as Yang Hao's momentum.

What terrible things have he experienced in the past year or so to become like this?

Yang Hao keenly felt the scrutiny of Mr. Arms Merchant, but he didn't mind smiling slightly, and said leisurely: "I did build a heavy cruiser, but it was a gift to my father and was registered in the military department of my country. Regarding the armament of the battleship's equipment, I only have partial authority to build it. ”

He was telling the truth, and he was helpless.

The reality is. The "Vostok" heavy cruiser has become a test platform for various equipment of the domestic military. After several major shipbuilding and iron and steel enterprises were involved in the early stage, with the hull closing and the installation of the power system. More military-industrial complexes popped up out of nowhere.

A series of civilian-grade equipment originally planned to be used was given to Bao Yuaner by a large number of digital code-named institutes, and the radar system alone made a series of sea, air, navigation, guidance, and so on. A little more experienced military fans may be able to see that this Nima is not the "China Aegis" passive phased array radar? !

In addition, they also came up with a bunch of things such as anti-submarine sonar, military wireless communication systems, in-ship communications and computer systems, and moved infinitely closer to a standard warship.

After that, all kinds of facilities on the ship were forcibly entered, from a sailor's bedroom, to the CIC center, to the dining room equipment, and even the lighting ....... and so on, which were originally only civilian-grade facilities, and a large number of military products were mixed in. Although they all claim that they don't need money, they can delay the construction of the battleship for a few months out of thin air, at least the trouble is not ordinarily high.

At this point, Yang Hao finally figured it out, and the military didn't hold back a good fart at all. They had never built a warship of this tonnage before, and they would not spend money to build a platform with a full row of nearly 15,000 tons to do it - the cost of more than a billion soft girl coins, who can apply for it?

happened to meet such a wronged leader as the Yang family, and there was a relationship with the navy, so he simply didn't do anything, and the overlord took advantage of the fire to rob him.

The last drawings Yang Hao saw, if you add an external missile launcher, this heavy cruiser will become a multi-purpose guy of the "Baltimore-class" modified after World War II, but it basically has no chance to go to the battlefield.

But there is no doubt that it will become a test platform for military weapons. This made Yang Hao bittersweet.

The joy is that once it is projected to the second plane, it will become a super invincible battleship that is too advanced, and it is much more powerful than expected. But what is even more worrying is that the things he spent so much money to build, I am afraid it is unlikely that he will use them casually in the future, at least in a few years, the navy has repeatedly disassembled and assembled various equipment and even weapons, there is no need to question it.

Sooner or later, the Chinese Navy will have to build large missile destroyers, and it would be nice to have a platform for testing equipment before that.

Too much inside information will not be known to the outside world, Yang Hao pointed it out so carefully, but Ivan could hear the outside words. A heavy cruiser platform of more than 10,000 tons, even if it can only use naval guns, is quite terrifying. Maybe the big five rogues and the like don't care, and they can take it out with a single missile boat. However, if it falls into the hands of some dangerous elements, after modification, it can become a big killer weapon for trouble, and it has to be guarded against.

Coupled with China's special national conditions, in the strict control environment where you have to be arrested and detained even to play with the steam dog, you still want to play with gunboats and rebel!

Ivan was very patient and waited for Yang Hao to continue to speak below.

Yang Hao continued: "But I do need some real ship equipment, it doesn't matter if I lag behind, the point is to be usable." It may not be as complicated as launching a missile, but the basic functions of radar, sonar, fire control, communications, and command must always be satisfied. ”

Ivan nodded slowly, "I think I can understand what your needs are." Well, there are no problems even with a product from twenty years ago. Can it be understood that way, right? ”

Yang Hao liked his confession very much. Laughing: "I don't mind the second-hand items that were removed from the old battleship. As long as it works and works. That's it. Of course, it would be nice if you could provide some technical support, knowing that there are so many electronic devices that not everyone can debug them smoothly. ”

This is very clear.

Today, in the world, there are no more traditional powers that can produce equipment for warships. And without exception, these things all meet one criterion - expensive, dead expensive!

Yang Hao would not spend money to buy so many dazzling things to find trouble on backward warships. However, compared to civilian equipment, the old goods dismantled from warships are not necessarily worse.

In the world today, the largest amount of used military equipment has entered the market. It is nothing more than the United States and the former Soviet Union. Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, its originally powerful navy quickly fell apart, and over the years there were more than 1,000 warships, which were sold and scrapped. Quite a few of these warships and submarines were rusty in the sea, and everything in them that could be exchanged for money was also dismantled and spun out.

Of course, the biggest buyers are undoubtedly the black-bellied rabbits, and the ones they don't look down on, it's useless for others to buy them.

Yang Hao estimated that in the arms business circle. There must be a lot of old gadgets smashed in your hands. The things made of wool are durable, even if the parts are slightly replaced after a few decades. Just as easy to use.

Buying these things is still a cheap heart, and the more important thing is to have someone to realize the integration of the system and come up with a simple and practical military version of the ship system.

In the past, Yang Hao hadn't thought of this step. The mess of the "Vostok" reminded him that in the next few days, he is about to face the great process of challenging the world of the second plane, even if he has the bonus of this world, it is still not easy to want the violent army to kill the great powers.

Therefore, he had to do more preparation. If a World War II-level battleship alone is not safe, then simply armed to the height of the middle of the twentieth century.

The equipment of these ships he wants to buy will gradually arm the main warships to be built next into powerful combat effectiveness that can be fought against ten.

Ivan realized that this was going to be another big business! Even more technical than the previous orders he received, the transaction volume was larger and more challenging.

He not only had to provide equipment, technology, and materials to meet the needs of the warships, but also to provide corresponding professionals, and at least to say a few years, long-term orders that would last for several years, and the profits were as huge as those he had accumulated more than ten years before. And it doesn't have to be that hard.

"This order must be taken!"

Ivan felt his heart pounding, and if the business was completed, he would move from the role of a low-level regional arms dealer to an international-level large-name arms dealer! It is not only the convenience of entering the field of vision of some big gangsters and obtaining the gold medal talisman of avoiding death, but also the fact that you can avoid risking into the war-torn area and face the difficult situation of being killed at any time, and you can make money comfortably drinking a little wine.

Beautiful!

Ivan unconsciously straightened his waist and said sternly: "I will complete your commission very perfectly." So, can you give us an approximate standard of requirements? ”

The equipment used in warships is not so common, often one type of system corresponds to one system, and the difficulty of integration is not generally high. This is why the more advanced the warship, the longer the period between launch and service, which is ten times longer than the interval of several months in World War II. Without him, the system is too complicated.

Yang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, didn't talk nonsense, turned the laptop on the table, and gently pushed it to the opposite side.

Ivan's eyes were drawn to a beautifully shaped battleship on the screen. Based on his professional arms dealer's Su zhì, he can determine at a glance with reference to the explanatory materials that this is a small battleship, or a large battlecruiser!

The classic triple turret and slender hull reminded him of the "Dongfang" heavy cruiser being built in China -- there is no doubt that Yang Hao's loser style of spending money to build heavy cruisers has become a world-class topic. There was no way he didn't know.

However, this guy obviously has a wider hull, and the caliber of the guns it naturally carries is bound to be larger.

Ivan didn't see any more information, but he didn't know much at all, and after a moment's silence, he asked tentatively, "This is your target ship?" ”

Yang Hao nodded: "In the Navy Theme Park in Langya City, China, there is a newly built cement warship, you can go there to visit it, and there will definitely be a good harvest." Plus, you'll receive a few blueprints from some ship enthusiasts later. ”

Ivan took a deep breath, pushed the notebook back, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I remember." So, please be patient for a while, and I will do my best to organize the list of equipment. Rest assured, you will be satisfied with the price. ”

Yang Hao stood up, shook hands with him and shook it gently: "Then I'll wait for good news." ”

Ivan politely took his leave.

James then rushed in and asked, "Boss, how are you talking?" ”

Yang Hao straightened his face and said angrily: "Mr. Braun, because of your excessive requirements, I will most likely spend a lot of extra money!" What are you going to do to make it back? ”

The damned warmongers have always been thick-skinned, waving their arms shamelessly, and shouting, "Dear boss, you can't frame you so casually!" All my requests are justified and necessary for business to be conducted. Be sure to believe that these payouts will bring many times more profits! ”

Yang Hao shook his head: "It seems that some people don't continue to receive the salary paid by gold. ”

James was half a cut shorter when he boarded, and said with a sad face: "You are too picky!" Okay, I'll admit it's a little greedy, but rest assured, it's definitely out of a responsible attitude towards your investment! ”

Yang Hao waved his hand at him: "It's useless to say that it sounds good, I want to personally inspect the investment results." ”

James Bangbang patted his chest: "Although you check at will, you guarantee that nothing goes wrong." ”

On the same day, he flew straight to Mombasa, inspected a circle of defense company bases in the training camp near Qualai in the south, and observed the live-fire drill of the mercenary team. Then turn around and head to the shipyard by the sea.

The shipyard is undoubtedly the fastest in the entire heavy industry base construction project, and the package of construction plans provided by the Chinese contractor has completed the entire construction volume in less than a year and quickly put into operation.

Of course, the entire shipyard from the plant to the equipment, almost all of them are Chinese second-hand goods, cheap and practical, and the original team is fast and accurate in installation and commissioning. During the trial production period, while training locally recruited workers unhurriedly, we used domestically recruited labor to export workers and worked overtime to build products that they didn't know what they were.

Only Yang Hao knows best that what he is working in the factory of the Africans is a number of battleships! (To be continued......)
