Chapter 1055

“Actually, we are not so anxious now. Let’s wait. Anyway, it’s not everyone who wants to get the project out anyway. 053H3 is for export, and we have already taken the money. In terms of improvement, we really have to think about it. At least, it has to meet customer requirements. Besides, the more technology that is improved, the higher the price, isn’t it?”

Xie Kai still hopes that 701 will help, and help them get 053H3 out according to Saudi requirements.

On a 2,000-ton warship, more than 150 people are required to operate it, which is a lot more.

Although relatively speaking, there are not so many.

Compared with the 054A that will only appear more than ten years later, it is a bit much.

The 054A guided missile frigate with a fully loaded displacement of 4,200 tons has only 180 personnel.

“Are you sure you are serious? Even if you cooperate, you must explain how to cooperate. It is impossible to continue to borrow people!” Pan Jingfu, the big man, disagreed.

Too many personnel were taken away, and he suffered the most.

People are needed in many places, various technologies need to be digested, and newcomers need people with rich experience to carry out project research and development.

Some of the projects studied by people borrowed from Hudong Shipyard have little to do with the 052 project. Although they can be used universally, they have to be improved if they want to use it.

Not all technologies can be directly applied to warships.

“If you don’t borrow people, you can subcontract the project to some related teams of 701, and be market-oriented, so that everyone can cooperate without problems.” Xie Kai said.

For such a proposal, the people of 701 will naturally not refuse.

As long as you don’t dig people, you can say anything.

“What do you think?” Zheng Yucheng was a little dissatisfied with Xie Kai’s attitude.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, “Uncle Zheng, the small pond in the south is not flat. The best thing we should do now is to pull 053 over there for a stroll. If we show very good combat performance, maybe there will be more. Orders.”

The previous order was an accident.

It can be said that the 4 orders from Saudi Arabia were also obtained by accident.

Who would have thought that a small country like Bahrain could purchase two frigates?

If it weren’t for the pressure from Qatar, would they?

“You mean to seek more 053 orders?” Qi Zhiyuan asked.

“If you really want to build a 4,000-ton frigate, Mr. Wang, with our current technical capabilities and experience, how long will it take to complete it?” Xie Kai asked Wang Hengyuan directly.

Wang Hengyuan was a little embarrassed to answer.

It is absolutely impossible in the short term.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that there are too many places to break through, and everything needs to be studied.

You can’t directly use some of the technologies of 051 and 052, right?



The focus of warships of different positioning is different.

“So, what we need to do now is to use orders, continuously upgrade 053, while improving technology, while accumulating experience. At the same time, training our own technical team, always thinking about digging from other units, this is undesirable. When Xie Kai said, Zheng Yucheng and they all understood.

It just doesn’t agree with the technical project of launching the 4000-ton frigate directly now.

As a goal, it is not a problem to study and develop slowly in this direction.

But for everyone, starting the project now will not only fail to keep up with the personnel, but also consume a lot of money.

“To get the most results with the least money, the Navy can afford to wait.” Xie Kai said.

In the small pond on the other side of the South China Sea, although there was not much publicity and reports, the tension was not known to the country, and even after the outbreak of the war, not many people in the country paid attention to it.

But internationally, many people are concerned about the situation there.

The small pond in the South China Sea is a navigable route that local merchant ships in East Asia must pass through.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“The situation there is tense. The ship in our hands is leased to the Saudi Navy to help them train the navy team!” Qi Zhiyuan was a little worried.

The Saudi navy does not have much experience.

Therefore, because of the continuous appearance of Vietnamese warships over there, they transferred this warship back.

I’m afraid that when the Saudi navy officer makes a misoperation and fires a few shells or misses a missile, it will be troublesome.

“Because of this, they should be allowed to go. What Saudi Arabia needs is our help in training their navy to build from nothing, how to prepare for combat, how to conduct maritime operations during combat readiness. In such an environment, they can let their navy Officers and soldiers have more extensive experience.” In line with the principle of being responsible to customers, Xie Kai said seriously.

In the Middle East, although there are not many wars in peacetime, Saudi Arabia’s purpose of buying warships is to be a police officer in the Gulf region. Bahrain has two frigates of the same level. If it becomes angry with Qatar, Saudi Arabia does not know how. How can it be handled?

Zheng Yucheng and others didn’t have much opinion on this matter.

The ability to sell more frigates is a good thing for the entire Hudong Shipyard.

With orders, more funds will continue to be invested in research and development of technological improvements.

In the afternoon, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng left even if they did not reach an agreement with the people of 701.

They returned to the Shanghai stock market again.

Saudi military representatives and trainees are in the naval training base here.

Yevlaro, the military representative of the Saudi Navy sent to China, is responsible for coordinating with the Chinese side their needs for warships, supervising the production progress and quality of the Chinese warships, and also negotiating with the Chinese side about various matters concerning the naval officers and soldiers selected by Saudi Arabia.

“Lieutenant Colonel Yevlaro, I am very happy to meet you. Please say hello to King Fahd and Prince Sultan…” Xie Kai is not very familiar with this Saudi delegation representative.

Only seen it once before.

That time, the Saudi side urged China to go to the waters around Saudi Arabia to help their officers and soldiers familiarize themselves with and train them.

“Thanks, I am also very happy to see you. Yesterday I spoke with His Royal Highness, and the Prince also mentioned you. I happen to have something to find you.” Yevlaro paid enough attention to the young man Xie Kai. With respect.

In Saudi Arabia, there are many people who are younger than Xie Kai.

“I wonder if I can help the lieutenant colonel?” Xie Kai asked.

“We need to go to your country for training in the South China Sea…” Lieutenant Colonel Yevrola said solemnly, “Neither your Royal Highness nor I hope our navy will have any combat capability in the future!”

I doze off when I meet a pillow.

How can the Saudis want to go to dangerous areas without fear of death?

In the previous mobilization, there was also a large part of the reason for the strong demand of Saudi officers and soldiers. They were worried that after the outbreak of the war, the Vietnamese would misunderstand that the training ship is the capital ship of the Chinese Navy.

Along the way, Xie Kai thought about a lot of rhetoric, thinking about how to persuade the Saudis.

As a result, representatives of the Saudi army actually said that they should go to places where the situation is tense in the South China Sea.

“Is this not so good? Lieutenant colonel, although this warship is now leased to your country, it is mainly used to train your country’s officers and soldiers, but the Chinese flag is flying in China’s waters!” Xie Kai said.

The money, anyway, Saudi Arabia gave it.

The warship is still Chinese.

In China’s territorial waters, it is certain that warships flying other countries’ flags will not be allowed to sail freely.

Even the ocean-going and various materials are controlled by the Chinese instructors themselves, teaching various theories to the Saudi navy officers and soldiers, and they will never be allowed to conduct actual operations in the Chinese waters.

The purpose of training is to let them master the various operations and performance of warships and become familiar with them.

After all, the entire Saudi Navy trained officers and soldiers are the backbone of the Saudi Navy’s future.

“For this training, we can organize officers and soldiers to simulate long-sea support combat training…” Lieutenant Colonel Yevrola said seriously, “In the Middle East, conflicts are prone to occur. Only with rich experience can our navy better To maintain the security of the territorial waters, while maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East…”

For Saudi naval officers and soldiers, every time they go to sea, they must be accompanied by supply ships.

053H2 originally had a small displacement and a lot of staffing. During the training, there was a lot more staff for each post.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

There was originally a basic training ship for Saudi navy officers and soldiers to train, but the contract between the two parties was tight, and Saudi Arabia required that the Chinese side must be able to independently learn the basic operations of the warship when the warship is delivered.

In this way, it is only possible to rotate Saudi officers and soldiers directly on the ship for practical operations.

A lot of things happened during the whole process.

It is indeed embarrassing for Saudi Arabia to make such a request.

The people who train Saudi navy officers and soldiers are big heads. These guys are not here at all. They are a little bit harder and tired.

The PLA’s ocean-going training does not require a supply ship to accompany it at all.

But the Saudis are different. The cabins of the warships are narrow, crowded, and the environment is not very good. Therefore, in order to have a better rest and even take a hot bath at the end of training every day, China has to dispatch a supply ship Accompany this training ship.

For the navy of any country, such a thing is almost intolerable.

But for the Saudi Navy, this is a must.

Up to now, the basic training subjects have not been completed.

“Lieutenant Colonel, it’s not that we disagree, but that your naval officers and soldiers do not obey orders like the PLA officers and soldiers… If they are trained in accordance with the requirements of the war, they can hardly endure such hardship…” Xie Kai did not speak yet. Major Yu Haitao, the Chinese leader in charge of providing training to Saudi navy officers and soldiers, said solemnly.

For Saudi officers and soldiers, the Chinese instructors are really a headache.

Even if they borrowed a lot of Arabic translators from the Ministry of Commerce, these guys are not so meticulous in implementing the orders.

“Nothing like this will happen again. This time, I will personally join them!” Lieutenant Colonel Yevrola assured.

He is the leader of the team and learns naval combat command from the Chinese Navy.

“If it is accompanied by a supply ship, the speed will be slowed down… During combat, it is impossible to carry the supply ship all the time. This is for the enemy’s target!” Yu Haitao emphasized.
