Chapter 721: Calculating Sea Power

The small tonnage of 056 determines that its importance is not high, as long as it can bypass the restrictions, it can be traded.

If Boss Joe's own Hamilton-class is willing to make up his mind to transform, the big ship with a displacement of 3,250 tons is more deterrent than the 056, which is only 1,300 tons.

But in the Mediterranean, no one thinks it's wrong!

The Hamilton-class 'Princess' is okay, why can't 056?

As long as that thing is not equipped with a missile system, that is, a coast guard ship, one or two ships can only scare pirates, and even those little brothers in Southeast Asia will struggle to scare the navies of regular powers.

In this part of the Mediterranean, just pull a family out, for example, the Italian Navy has warships stronger than 056.

CSSC is still trying in many ways, and the 056 is not even the main foreign trade model they envisioned, the 052D destroyer is.

With the completion of the 055, the 052D, which is a generation behind, can be taken out and sold for money.

But at the moment they don't have too many solutions.

At present, only a few hardcore little brothers buy it, but in the end, because the price is too outrageous, only old-fashioned ships like 054 are exported.

Boss Qiao's practice of bringing his own customers to seek agents is a good thing that CSSC can't ask for.

According to reason, CSSC should not care about anything and fully cooperate with Boss Qiao's sales plan.

It's a pity that Boss Qiao is too important now, and the boss of CSSC just reported to the top, and his feverish brain was pressed into the water by a group of peers to sober up.

Boss Qiao must not have a problem, as soon as he has a problem, the tens of billions of export orders are gone, and the people in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade should hang themselves.

The people of the energy group could not agree even more, as soon as Boss Joe had a problem, their days in Iraq and Tubrug would immediately be in dire straits.

When the time comes, it will take a lot of energy and time to adjust, and where can those losses be earned back by selling a few 'small boats'?

The so-called CSSC President Zhang did not come, but was stopped by the same disagreeing with the North Industry Finance Chief, and they collectively found a big leader to talk to the people of CSSC, and agreed that it was not necessary to sell the ship.

It wasn't until Chen Xiaodong came up with two sets of plans that the interest group headed by Mr. Jin gave in and took him to find Qiao Liang together.

But Mr. Jin mainly talked about the Congolese business, and he just wanted to use the Congolese development to divert Boss Qiao's attention, so he almost told him directly that there was really no need to toss a few small boats......

...... who don't make a few bucks

The game here is actually very interesting, and Boss Qiao's position determines his importance and degree of protection.

Little Brother Qiao Liang knew that his brother was very powerful, but he hadn't realized how many interest groups his brother had leveraged, and then what kind of protection he himself had received.

Those Russian bodyguards are all capable of carrying guns......

A new security post was set up around the neighborhood and school where they lived, and several elite police officers were stationed on a permanent basis to ensure his safety.

is also doing business, and many so-called bullish second generations do not have Qiao Liang's treatment.

The current status of the Qiao family brothers determines that others care more about their safety than themselves.

Qiao Liang didn't feel it, but Qiao Jia felt great care from the 'method' of 'China Shipbuilding Defense'.

How much profit can be made by making a shell?

Giving the bulk of the profits, 'electronic systems' and 'weapon systems', to the French company, is just to make Boss Joe less politically risky, which is playing with Boss Joe.

If you want to sell the ship, it doesn't matter, let's think of a way for you to resell it reasonably and legally.

It doesn't matter if I earn less, you can't have an accident!

That's babysitting-level care!

This favor Boss Qiao has to receive, because this is the CSSC to help him circumvent the restrictions and surrender his identity to cooperate with the French, as long as the UAE is willing to nod, Boss Qiao can make a lot of money.

Qiao Jia really didn't expect this method at first, but it was a good thing, and it could make the business of selling ships many times easier.

But suddenly there was no challenge, which made Boss Qiao less passionate, so he was very interested in the second plan.

055 drive, although it is not really sold for sale, but the plans of the CSSC are all carried out around it......

There are only 4 ships in service in China!

It is no exaggeration to say that the whole world is paying attention to this NATO-named 'Blade Sea-class' 10,000-ton ship, and even the United States is no exception.

And Lao Mei's spies have been around the big ship for several years.

Don't think that Lao Mei is really invincible in the world, they also want and are afraid of such a big ship!

They are not even afraid that China has aircraft carriers, because they have redefined the mode of naval warfare with aircraft carriers as the main body since World War II, and swept the traditional giant artillery battleships into the dustbin of history.

It is extremely difficult to step in the footsteps of others, and it is extremely difficult to surpass him.

The reason why the 055 drive has attracted so much attention is that it has the potential to break the naval blockade of the United States and redefine the mode of naval warfare.

A 10,000-ton ship, paired with an Eagle Strike hypersonic anti-ship missile that cannot be intercepted at all, can bypass the air defense system of the aircraft carrier battle group from a long distance and directly hit the aircraft carrier's lifeline as long as it solves the shortcomings of reconnaissance in the far sea.

The deterrent effect of this thing on the aircraft carrier battle group is much greater than that of a simple aircraft carrier confrontation.

The birth of 055 means that the deterrence of the old American aircraft carrier battle group has decreased.

In the past, the United States established a series of naval warfare standards around aircraft carriers, and once they were shaken, they needed to spend a lot of effort and a huge amount of money to come up with a response plan.

However, at present, human technology is not yet able to intercept hypersonic missiles, so in order to cope with the possible impact, the United States began to develop its own new destroyer.

The aging Arleigh Burke-class could no longer afford a new makeover, and the Zumwalt-class was bothered by the endless problems of the Zumwalt-class, and now they needed a full-fledged new ship......

Who would have thought that Lao Mei would actually have the idea of 055?

Their latest model is tentatively DDG(X), and judging from the outgoing renderings, it is a copycat version of the 055.

A lot of spies who betrayed 055 secrets were caught in China, and after learning about Lao Mei's plans, they were actually not angry, but a little happy.

Lao Mei is nervous, which shows that the efforts of domestic shipbuilders for decades have not been in vain.

Once the combat effectiveness of 055 is completely formed, the export of 055 to the outside world is to export a new standard of naval warfare, and to incorporate maritime competition into the track that they are familiar with, rather than following the pace of the United States.

After all, in terms of aircraft carriers, it is really difficult to surpass Lao Mei!

Now they have the opportunity to drag the old United States into the quagmire of naval transformation......

The plan provided by Chen Xiaodong was a bit complicated, they used the confession obtained from the spy to understand Lao Mei's movements, knew that they wanted to avoid detours, and at the same time found an opportunity to have a comprehensive understanding and analysis of this big ship......

Then the best thing to do is to find a 'middleman' to buy a 055 and show it to them.

This 'middleman' must not be an individual, it must be a local tyrant in the Middle East who is closer to China, so that it is possible to persuade China to make an appointment to export 055 when its own navy is not yet equipped.

Of course, it can only be an appointment, and before Huaguo completes the equipment by himself, it is impossible for 055 to take out.

This appointment may be ten or twenty years, maybe it will always be an appointment, and the real export model will be the 052D destroyer with more than 6,000 tons but the same pedigree as the 055, after all, there is no need for a 10,000-ton ship in the Persian Gulf.

But that's enough, as long as you participate in the negotiations, you will naturally get the opportunity to observe and learn from the 055 ship, and then take advantage of the opportunity of training, the spies arranged by the United States are mixed in the team of the United Arab Emirates, and some have the opportunity to figure out the structure of 055.

At the same time, take advantage of the opportunity to analyze the 052D weapon system to deduce as much as possible the combat effectiveness of 055.

A wave of people led by Chen Xiaodong thought very clearly, they were not afraid of Lao Mei to imitate 055, but they were eager for them to imitate.

Because the United States itself has enough ability to develop more powerful ships, they have the best electronic radar system in the world, power system, hypersonic missiles are inferior, but that thing to show you, what can you see? The foreign trade version of the hypersonic missile is not afraid of people looking at it.

Now that there is an opportunity, why not bring them into the orbit of their own familiarity and engage in an arms race?

To put it mildly, in terms of the cost of large ships, Huaguo has a cost advantage and room for improvement that the United States cannot match, you are similar to what I built, and I can even deduce your weaknesses from my own experience.

Before, Chen Xiaodong and they couldn't make things too obvious, and the matter was always under discussion, and there was no conclusion at all.

In principle, this kind of national weapon, it must be a friendly country sincerely purchasing, and then China can draw a shrunken version of 052D from the Navy's order to carry out the transformation of the foreign trade version out of concern and consideration for its allies.

The current situation is that Lao Mei wants to study it in depth, but for reasons such as face and politics, it is impossible to end up by herself.

They also need a 'middleman' to buy it and, if possible, create an opportunity for them to go on a field trip to the 055......

And CSSC also wants to sell, but by no means it sells 055, but 052D, as long as this guy is equipped with anti-ship missiles, the core logic of 055 is the same.

It's not just about making money, it's an output of a new standard for the ocean, and that's so good for them.

As for what military secrets and the like, of course they are important, but can 055 be figured out at a glance?

I dare to sell 052D to you, and I'm not afraid of you to dismantle it!

I've shown you everything, so don't corrupt our core technical personnel, go back and make it yourself!

With the first 052D start, maybe the blockade can be broken, so that the local tyrants in the Middle East can start the purchase of the second and third ships, and in the future, it is not even ruled out that the direct export of 055 will not be ruled out......

China and the United States have completely different positions, and the United States needs to maintain maritime hegemony, and this kind of large ship that may threaten aircraft carriers will definitely not take the initiative to sell it to the outside world.

And Huaguo's demands are completely different, and they can't bear to let his own family fight against the maritime hegemony of Lao Mei.

In fact, the more countries that hold large ships such as 052D equipped with hypersonic anti-ship missiles, the greater the impact on the influence of the old and American aircraft carrier battle groups.

This is an advanced version of uniting all the forces that can be united, and the work of putting pressure on the old US Navy is shared.

Lao Mei is the kind of domineering person who can hold a gun to your head, but you have a weapon that threatens me with a capital crime.

Whether it's 055 or 052's export, it's poking their lung tubes.

It is foreseeable that the more the 052D drive outputs, it means that the more people will be offended.

Now both sides have their own ghosts, but they have the intention of having a concubine, but they can't find a suitable partner to achieve a breakthrough.

Boss Qiao took the initiative to jump out of the big tyrant of the United Arab Emirates, wouldn't that be timely rain?

056 That kind of boat can make a few bucks, the big guy will toss the shrunken version of the 055 big ship 052D!

A large ship of more than 6,000 tons, with all kinds of high-end missiles, and people especially want to know that it is appropriate to sell it for 2 billion.

This kind of thing is really not offensive to Joga and the UAE, and there are even many benefits.

From the position of the United Arab Emirates, I paid for a big ship to analyze it for you, and even provided a chance to go to 055, which is a betrayal of Chinese secrets, which is very offensive, if you don't give me some benefits, how can I do it?

Not to mention anything else, it is good for you to loosen the F-35 procurement project for me, with fewer additional conditions and a little faster delivery.

From Lao Mei's point of view, they need a mature product as a reference to facilitate the rapid progress of their own projects, and it is necessary to visit 055 on the spot!

What a perfect person Boss Joe is!

In order to contribute to your old America's cause of dominating the sea, even your compatriots have been betrayed, are you embarrassed not to give some benefits?

Boss Qiao is not even a double agent, he is just acting according to the needs of both parties......

A few ends are settled, so that everyone can take what they need!

What is now in front of Joga is how to convince the UAE, a big head, to spend two billion dollars to buy 052D and let him earn half of it first.

The UAE is rich, but two billion is too exaggerated, and there are still many political interests that need to be negotiated in advance.

This whole process can't be done in three or five years!

But it doesn't matter, let's sign a contract of intent first, you pay 30% of the deposit, and it's good for Boss Qiao to earn hundreds of millions first.
