"Of course. I continued: "This does not mean that we do not need the advanced equipment of Western countries, in fact, what we should do is to combine the advantages of the equipment of the United States and the Soviet Union and integrate them, and finally become equipment with Chinese characteristics that meets our own needs." ”

The reason for this is actually very simple, the style of US military equipment is generally willing to spend money, and most of the equipment goes down the line of precision and high technology...... To be rich is to be capricious. The equipment of the Soviet army is more cheap, practical and reliable, that is, it does not look good in peacetime, and as soon as the war starts, mass production will burst out of a kind of energy that changes from quantity to quality.

Judging from China's national conditions, we are indeed more suitable to take the route of Soviet-style equipment...... We don't have as much money as the Yankees, and on the other hand, we have a large population, and if we all have equipment like the Yankees, the troops of several army groups will come down and drag us down.

But on the other hand, because the Soviet-style equipment is aimed at a country with low temperatures like the Soviet Union, even if the equipment is transported to China intact, there will be various unsuitables, such as the modern Su-27 will leak oil after arriving in the high-temperature and high-humidity climate of Hainan Island...... This dictates that we must have our own technology and improve it according to our own combat environment and needs.

Of course, if we really want to say that we can't change it ourselves, then it's no problem, why not ask the Soviets to change it...... That's what the Indians did, and after the Soviet-style equipment landed in India, there would also be all kinds of problems that were not adapted, and the solution for the Indians was to let the Soviets continue to change it until they were satisfied.

But it is conceivable that the result of this is actually sticking out the neck for people to slaughter...... This is not just a financial loss, although the loss is also significant. Because the advantage of Soviet-style equipment itself is that it is cheap and practical, and it is suitable for mass production. Like India, it depends only on the Soviet Union. Then this advantage is gone, and it is even more expensive than similar products on the American side, such as the "Vikramaditya", a second-hand aircraft carrier given by Russia to India, and its modification cost is as high as 2.3 billion US dollars, and the total cost of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, which is 20,000 tons more than its displacement, is only 400 million US dollars.

In terms of money, it can be said that there is no big problem, after all, there is no technology, and it is necessary to pay more, but one day once there is a war...... If the aircraft carrier is to be repaired, will it still be driven to the Russian shipyard to repair it and come back after a few years?!

"Your positioning is still quite clear!" Commander Zhang nodded: "And it is also very in line with our current national conditions." It's just that Melbourne has made them like that, and it's not easy for us to find something we can learn from. ”

"Not necessarily!" I said: "There is a saying that the Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang!" ”

"Ming Xiu plank road secretly crosses Chen Cang?"

"Yes!" I said: "I think so, the American and Australian sides are focused all their attention on the Melbourne itself, and they think it's safe to just remove things from Melbourne." In addition, the equipment with reuse value has been dismantled before, and it will be dismantled again now...... Most of these things are useless to them, how to deal with these things? ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but suddenly realize: "Like the Melbourne, it has been disposed of as waste!" ”

"Yes!" I said, "So we just need to do some recycling of the Australian waste...... Of course, these are inconvenient for us to do it ourselves! ”

Needless to say, just find a local in Australia. or through a third country, it will not attract the attention of Australia or the United States.

Hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but nod his head again and again. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Good boy, there's really a set!" ”

More than two months later, the Melbourne was finally towed back from Australia by tugboat...... The reason why it took more than two months and so long was because the United States and Australia always felt uneasy, so they dismantled and inspected the things on the aircraft carrier again and again. It's just that what they don't know is that they thought they were smart enough to dismantle the equipment that still had a little bit of value, but it didn't take long for it to change hands and return to us.

Of course, this does not mean that these equipment can still be used, when the Australian side dismantles these things, it often uses welding torches or even blasting methods to violently dismantle them, so what we get is really some waste, and some are even incomplete.

But what we need is not to be usable, but to know the number of these equipment or where it is installed, and so on, as we said before, this is to accumulate experience for building an aircraft carrier in the future.

When the Melbourne was towed into the shipyard, Commander Zhang also took a few staff officers with me...... That scene may not be a big deal for me, who has ever been on a British aircraft carrier, but it was quite shocking to Commander Zhang and others.

I always remember the stunned look on their faces as they looked at the behemoth standing in front of them, and the staff officers all discussed: "Is this still a ship?" It's like a city on the sea! ”

Commander Zhang did not speak with a heavy face, and it was not until he stepped onto the deck of the "Melbourne" that he let out a long sigh and asked me: "This is the British light aircraft carrier?" Is there a bigger Yankee? ”

"Yes!" I nodded: "This is similar to the British aircraft carriers that participated in the Falklands, they are all more than 10,000 tons, and the Yankees' latest aircraft carrier is nearly 100,000 tons, that is, seven times as big!" ”

Hearing this, the staff officers around couldn't help but gasp...... If the Melbourne is a city on the water, then what is the Yankee's aircraft carrier?! And the Yankees are still nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

This is indeed a bit annoying, the Yankee nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are all over the world, and we are still collecting the rags of this light aircraft carrier, hoping to know as much information as possible from these rags.

But there's no way around it, and who's leaving us behind? If you want to catch up with others, you have to take it step by step, and there is no other shortcut.

Of course, if you want to talk about shortcuts, buy second-hand aircraft carriers like India, as long as you can afford it, someone will naturally be willing to sell it. But this is not what we wanted, because we know very well that mastering the technology of building an aircraft carrier is far more important than owning an aircraft carrier.

"Alas!" Commander Zhang sighed again: "We are too much worse than the United States and the Soviet Union, we have to work harder!" (To be continued!)
