"This kid is really good, so he can toss out the money for two advanced warships? But this money is easy to come by, isn't it a bit hasty to smash it all at sea?" The brigade commander read the report, and was speechless about Gao Jianwu's big move to auction the ten-year tobacco and alcohol monopoly rights, and said with a wry smile to the chief of staff on the side.

The key is that this kid dares to think and do it, and he has done it.

80 million!

That's a lot of work for such a large amount of money.

Like the Mustang fighter, the American version costs 40,000 US dollars, which is converted into a new currency pricing unit of more than 500,000 yuan, but Jinyang Heavy Industries produces it by itself, and the cost is 150,000 yuan.

After all, the cost of materials and labor, Gao Jianwu has realized a complete set of processes for pure closed-loop self-doing.

So in the eyes of the brigade commander, this is more than 500 Mustang fighters.

After playing air-ground coordination, everyone wants to stop the superiority of the Air Force now, and as a senior commander, it is not too easy to fight in a battle that can obtain air superiority.

Once upon a time, everyone was still under the air garbage in the small days, and they couldn't face the main force of hard steel devils during the day, just because no matter how garbage the fighter was, it was also a combat power that the ground could not compete with.

Not only can you stand tall and see the battlefield clearly, but you can also specifically hit your soft underbelly!

At present, under the extremely weak means of air defense, fighters are the masters of the battlefield, and in the east, there is not much chance for the ground troops to resist.

"Brigadier Commander, if someone else had arranged it like this, it would have been a bit hasty. But Gao Jianwu must have his ideas in this arrangement. And from past experience, he's usually right." The chief of staff responded with a smile.

"Chief of Staff, you really believe in this kid Gao Jianwu. I heard that the battleship he was going to build was not simple. The last time I was introduced, I was confident that I would go to dry cruisers. There's a missile in there, and it's very powerful. I just don't know if it's been developed now." The Grand Brigadier also smiled.

His confidence in Gao Jianwu was no weaker than that of the chief of staff. Just now it was just whining. has come all the way since the rise of Gao Jianwu. The brigade commander also did not find any mistakes in Gao Jianwu.

Faced with such a big matter as two warships, the brigade commander definitely didn't think that Gao Jianwu didn't have his own overall considerations.

"Don't worry, my Grand Brigadier. Gao Jianwu has always been very sure of doing things. If that happens, he will surely give you good tidings." The chief of staff said with a smile.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I haven't really seen many destroyers that can beat cruisers. Artillery duels have always been a caliber of an inch long is stronger, in the ocean is even more caliber is justice, Gao Jianwu's Type 051 destroyer, the main gun uses a 130 mm double-barreled naval gun, compared to the cruiser is a lot worse, serious cruisers who do not use a large tube of more than 150 mm, this small caliber, but less the power of the shell." Although the brigade commander listened to the introduction, he was praised by Gao Jianwu for the Type 051 destroyer.

But if he hasn't seen a real guy, let alone actual combat, just based on Gao Jianwu's description, the brigade commander is somewhat unconfident.

If it's so awesome, why haven't the big beauties on the other side of the ocean come out, you must know that in this regard, they are the leaders in technology.

Can Gao Jianwu's amateur design outperform the world's most awesome beauty?

Isn't it a little beautiful to think about yourself?

...

Not to mention the Grand Brigade Commander, he muttered in his heart.

Over there at headquarters.

There are also many people who have ups and downs in their hearts.

"Leader, it's a bit ridiculous for Gao Jianwu to do this, the public opinion circles are laughing at it, we have begun to starve and collect taxes indiscriminately until 10 years later. This auction of the monopoly rights of tobacco and alcohol is indeed a bit of a child's play, and it has made the scale so large that almost all the stalls in the base area have been auctioned off."

Someone muttered.

"This is the ability of Gao Jianwu, what's wrong with this thing, you guys, don't follow those people in the outside world. I am in favor of the idea of a monopoly on tobacco and alcohol, not to mention the current shortage of food, and the production and sales of tobacco and alcohol are needed

To control, even if there is enough food in the future, these two things need to be controlled from the source, these two products have large profits and large demand, if we don't occupy this market, will we let those gentry transfer all their profits?"

Obviously this is not possible.

In fact, there are many people who can understand this aspect of the headquarters.

It's just that this matter is still a relatively sensitive matter, and most people don't talk too much.

"But even so, the income from the auction of the tobacco and alcohol monopoly has to belong to the headquarters to co-ordinate, right, why did it become the independent control of the Ministry of Industry?"

The person who asked this question, although he may also be of a higher rank, is obviously not involved in the decision-making of the core class. So the leader gave him a cold look.

"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about."

The leader's words made this talkative person break out in a cold sweat in an instant.

From then on, he no longer dared to put forward his opinions on the matter against Gao Jianwu.

After all, Gao Jianwu secretly built an image missile destroyer that could fight against the fleet and even the aircraft carrier fleet, and now the people who know this plan can be counted with one hand, and they are not the core figures of military involvement, so they don't know what Gao Jianwu is doing at all.

Due to the fact that the capital is still a little rich, Gao Jianwu also planned a 10,000-ton ro-ro cargo ship, in his foreign trade business, now running overseas merchant ships, Gao Jianwu had no way before, whether it was Nanyang Trading Company or Mr. Situ's American fleet, the business of the ocean giant ship could only be handed over to the foreigners to earn.

Now that he has some money to spare, Gao Jianwu feels that he can take the first step in the shipbuilding industry in addition to the battleship.

Although there is a technical difficulty in the 10,000-ton giant ship, but under the current shipbuilding team that Gao Jianwu has painstakingly collected, there is not much difficulty, compared with the original time and space when the first 10,000-ton giant ship was built ten years later, the current conditions are more mature than the original time and space.

More importantly, Gao Jianwu has solved the difficulty of qualified marine steel, which is the most difficult thing in shipbuilding.

"Professor Yang, my basic expectation is to build a ro-ro freighter that can carry 500 trucks, or 2,000 jeeps/tricycles, and 300 T59 tanks with a budget of less than 5 million, and the cars or tanks can be driven directly from the port.

It is good to be able to cruise at a speed of more than 10 knots, and the endurance can reach more than 10,000 nautical miles. It needs to be built quickly and suitable for large-scale replication." Gao Jianwu said to Professor Yang Yuan.

"Minister Gao, our manpower is about to be saturated under the existing plan, although this merchant ship doesn't sound too complicated, but it takes up a lot of our human resources, after all, it is a 10,000-ton ship, although I can't estimate how much human resources are needed now." Yang Nao received a new order from Gao Jianwu, but he was a little unhappy, after all, when the three warships in hand were not completed, Gao Jianwu's requirements for the ro-ro freighter were not low.

This ro-ro cargo ship is not an ordinary merchant ship.

However, these are the things that the elder world considers, and Yang Na doesn't want anything else, he just needs to find a way to make it.

"I have a merchant ship designed to meet this requirement, that is, the 10,000-ton merchant ship of the Ocean Pioneer built by the American shipbuilding madman Henry Caesar, which is 134.6 meters long, 17.3 meters wide, 8.5 meters draft, and has a full load displacement of 14,474 tons. Equipped with 2 oil-fired boilers and 1 triple-expansion steam engine, 2,500 horsepower single-shaft and single propeller, it achieves a maximum speed of 11.5 knots and a cruising range of 20,000 nautical miles.

The whole ship has 4-5 cargo holds and 3 cranes, which can be fully loaded with 9,300-10,500 tons of cargo, which is equivalent to hundreds of train carriages. The spacious cargo compartment of the Ocean Pioneer class can accommodate 2,840 jeeps, 260 medium tanks or 440 light tanks." Professor Yang Narae doesn't know much about the Navy's combat ships, but he knows a lot about this merchant ship.

After all, this is a super merchant ship with as many as 18 shipyards building 2,751 similar freighters, which supports the sea transportation of the allies.

"It's him, I think the specifications of this ship are satisfied." Gao Jianwu was overjoyed after hearing this.

"This hull is easy to build, much simpler than a real warship, and the shortest shipbuilding cycle in the Americas even achieved a record of six months to launch. But it was a bit difficult for us, and we didn't have the two oil-fired boilers and the one triple-expansion steam engine." Professor Yang said.

"The biggest challenge for this freighter is here, if we can get this power subsystem, we can complete the launch of the hull in half a year after the modular design."

"Hiss" Gao Jianwu bared his teeth after hearing this, and he also had a little headache about this, this power subsystem is not easy to do now, and now international procurement is somewhat limited.

Even if these things sound like an outdated goods, it is obviously impossible to have ready-made goods in China, and it is really difficult to buy these big things internationally.

The drawings obtained by Professor Yang Na can only be in the hull manufacturing, and the subsystems do not have a full set of process and production process drawings like Gao Jianwu's explosive technology.

"Can the power subsystem be replaced by our Type 453 steam turbine?" Gao Jianwu asked.

This is an off-the-shelf power subsystem. With the practical application of the Type 051 destroyer, this is also a very reliable power system.

"Of course, there is no problem with the 453 type power subsystem to drive the ocean-class freighter, but it is a bit wasteful, you must know that our 453 type steam turbine can reach 36,000 horsepower per unit, and the 100,000-ton cargo ship is enough, and the 10,000-ton giant ship merchant ship cannot use such strong power, the fuel consumption is too high, and the economy is not good at all. No, it's not economical." Yang Yuan shook his head.

"Can we use diesel engines instead, for example, we use 12150LG diesel engine improvement, now the power output can also reach 700 horsepower, we use 4 12150LG diesel engine improvements, can we also drive freighters?" Gao Jianwu suggested.

"Theoretically, yes, but the 12150LG diesel engine is a high-speed diesel engine, which is not very suitable for use at sea," Professor Yang shook his head, and then said, "However, it can also be used in short-term emergencies, and the cost is acceptable, but if we develop high-economy merchant ships on this basis, we must continue to evolve new diesel engines, and they must be able to burn heavy oil." The cost of ordinary diesel is too high, and there is no benefit for merchant ships at all."

"Hey, we still have to develop a new miniature version of the 453 power system, we need to put the research and development of small and medium-sized steam turbines and large low-speed diesel engines on the agenda, alas, the foundation is still too thin, and we have accumulated too little." Gao Jianwu sighed and said.

"Let's try the 12150LG diesel engine for the first one." Thinking that a large ro-ro freighter may be urgently needed in the future.

[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading

In terms of small power optimization, relatively speaking, the progress of steam turbines that may reduce the power will be faster to achieve the improvement of new models.

After all, there are many technical difficulties to be overcome to become bigger, and the requirements for materials and all aspects are lower in terms of narrowing, and the implementation should be faster.

...

The importance of maritime transportation made Gao Jianwu have to grit his teeth and knock on the core technology, the power subsystem is unavoidable, just after selling the monopoly rights for ten years, there is still a little surplus on hand after smashing the two Type 051 destroyers, Gao Jianwu not only engaged in a ro-ro freighter to make some preparations, but also put it into the power subsystem to prepare for serialization.

At the critical moment of the First Five-Year Plan, Gao Jianwu will eat the core technology of the sea transportation giant, and then wait for the shipbuilding industry to make another fist in the new round of economic recovery, and use the magic of infrastructure madness to subvert the world's shipbuilding industry in advance.

With the take-off of the world economy, after the world shipping has entered the golden age, the shipbuilding industry will be the first wave of dividend opportunities to eat the arrival of the golden age of shipping, and the next thing is to have a fleet to run transportation.
