"It depends on what kind of combat ships it is, and if the Iraqi government needs it, it still has the ability to build some gunboats."

Regarding Hafetz's words, Cai Ruichen's reaction was very calm.

Naturally, the shipyard can build combat ships, but even if it can build large combat ships now, he will not sell them to the Iraqi government.

And to be honest, with the current system of the Iraqi government army, they can't afford to give them a light frigate.

After all, the ships produced by the base have a high level of scientific and technological integration, and it is impossible to play without a certain amount of professional knowledge.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen did not say death in one breath, as for the future, then talk about it in the future.

There are some things that he is not afraid of the outside world knowing, and there are many secrets, so they are not secrets.

Now there is no need for him to do anything, and there will be a whole lot of speculation and speculation in the outside world.

When Hafiz heard this, he didn't buy it, but continued to ask: "Is it possible to build a thousand-ton warship?" ”

A simple sentence has already exposed Hafez's vision.

However, Cai Ruichen did not laugh at the other party, because in the Middle East, except for Israel, no country has the means to build modern combat ships of more than 1,000 tons.

Just like Iran and Pakistan, the largest warships produced are also relatively backward, more like the style of ships in the seventies and eighties of the last century, and there is no stealth at all.

For Middle Eastern countries, modern warships of 1,000 tons are already very useful, after all, the Persian Gulf is so big.

So he didn't say anything about the limitations of Hafez's vision, after all, he had been weak for too long. Some ideas are not something that can be changed in a moment.

"If we build it. Is the government going to buy it? If you guys need it. I think we have no problem. Cai Ruichen asked rhetorically.

"This ......" Hafez didn't know how to answer for a while, there are good and bad ships, he does have such an idea, but now he can't decide.

"If the government needs it, you can say what you want, and we can design a ship for the government that meets your requirements alone, but the price will depend on the number of purchases." Cai Ruichen said.

"Forget it alone. The government is financially constrained and cannot afford to pay for such expenses. ”

Although Hafez does not have a high vision, he still understands some common sense.

It is absolutely impossible for the price of the ships to be cheap by designing them alone, and the design costs must be covered, and it is impossible for the Iraqi government to buy too many warships at one time.

And if a warship is purchased, the maintenance and training costs alone are a large expense.

That's why he hesitated.

"I've got a nice ship here. Perhaps the government army will be interested. Seeing that Hafez was a little hesitant, he had no intention of selling warships to Cai Ruichen of the Iraqi government. As if thinking of something, he immediately changed his mind and continued:

"This is a missile boat with a displacement of 600 tons, with a three-hull floating design, a maximum speed of 50 knots, and can not only pass smoothly in the Persian Gulf, but also move freely near the Arabian Sea.

At the same time, the ship has a very good stealth performance, the low hull due to the structure of the three hulls, but it is not easy to bury the head, at the beginning of the design of the air early warning aircraft and the shipborne radar scanning targeted use of professional absorbing paint, in the phased array radar on the reflection cross-section, and a small fishing boat of about 50 tons.

And such fishing boats can also be seen everywhere in the Persian Gulf, and this type of ship can almost achieve the most perfect stealth capability in the Persian Gulf.

The armament is also very good, and the bow of the ship has a stealthy twin-mounted 20mm twelve-barreled Getter cannon, which is more practical and advanced than the American Phalanx system, as well as any similar Phalanx system in the world.

The main armament is four missile launch systems located on both sides of the stern of the ship, capable of carrying four supersonic anti-ship missiles, with a strike range of 150 nautical miles, and a range of more than 300 kilometers if guided by radar by other means......"

Listening to Cai Ruichen's words, Hafez's eyes slowly lit up, and I have to say that this missile boat is indeed very exciting.

Especially such a place as the Persian Gulf is most suitable for such small missile boat activities.

"What about the price?" Hafez, who was excited, couldn't help but ask.

"A single ship costs 30 million, and four missiles are paid separately." Cai Ruichen said very simply.

"30 million ......" Hearing this price, Hafez did not react excitedly, with a displacement of 600 tons and a price of 30 million, although the price is a little more expensive, but a missile boat capable of using supersonic anti-ship missiles is also acceptable.

After all, at present, there are only three countries that are really equipped with supersonic anti-ship missiles, China, Russia and Japan, and the United States is not equipped with supersonic ship-to-ship missiles.

I didn't expect that here in the future science and technology group, it would be able to come up with such a missile boat.

Advanced stealth performance, as well as powerful attack power, this is what makes Hafez excited.

"If the government buys four, it will be $100 million, and we can also give two missiles to the government for free, but in the matter of leasing coastal land, the government must give the green light to all of them, and the price must be the lowest." Cai Ruichen continued.

"If that missile boat is really as advanced as Mr. Cai said, I will agree." Four missile boats for 100 million dollars, Hafez is really impressed, as for land, in Iraq this kind of thing is the least valuable.

"However, I need a long time frame for the land, which is on the edge of the port of Basra." Cai Ruichen continued.

"As long as the follow-up missile boat maintenance, the future technology group can give the greatest discount, I promise you." Hafez nodded and said very decisively.

Although Basra is currently the most important port in Iraq, it is not as good as the outside world imagined, mainly because it was beaten too hard by the US military back then.

The Iraqi government once asked the US military to repair the port, but the Americans refused.

So Hafez just pushed the boat with the flow, but he underestimated Cai Ruichen's purpose.

"Mr. President is so cheerful, then it is a pleasure to cooperate." Cai Ruichen stretched out his right hand, and after shaking it with Hafez, he did not let go immediately, but continued: "However, we also need to have our own independent development rights and deploy defense forces, and the Iraqi government cannot interfere."
