Super military empire

In New Jersey, in the naval port next to the US Navy's Long Beach Shipyard, two huge battleships are sealed.

During Liu Yijiu's trip to the United States, there was no chance to appreciate the customs and customs of the US empire. Even his mother Ye Suwen did not have the opportunity to meet.His current status prevents him from walking around abroad at all.

Even Ye Suwen did not know the news that he had come to the United States.

Otherwise, come here to see Liu Yijiu.

Ye Suwen returns to China every year, but because of the confidential nature of Liu Yijiu's work, most of the time he can't see it.

Liu Yijiu was also so happy. He had never been in contact with his mother. When he was with Ye Suwen, he was often uncomfortable.Even when he returned to Li Rui's house, he had no words with Zheng Ya. The last time he rolled the sheets with Situ Xue at Li Rui's house, Zheng Ya hasn't been relieved yet.

After the negotiation, Liu Yijiu asked to go to the naval port next to the Long Beach Shipyard to see the two battleships. The contract has been signed for one hundred and forty million U.S. dollars. Although the price is a bit more expensive, Liu Yijiu also found it very worthwhile.

Take it back and study it. China has never had the ability to build large warships. Even the 052d ship was built only 20 years later. You know, the destroyer has a displacement of less than 8,000 tons.If it weren't for the Varyag aircraft carrier that was bought back at the price of scrap iron after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, no one would know when China would have an aircraft carrier.

Spend more money and use money to sell time.

Although their current funding is not very sufficient, and the Americans do not have the slightest credit in arms sales, it is very likely that the Americans will not provide warships after receiving the money, but Liu Yijiu is determined this time. Get this Iowa class back.

The time required for the demolition is not long. Two months, when the time comes, the Americans will be responsible for helping China drive the warship out of the Chinese waters.

At the same time, China will export 20 c801 anti-ship missiles to the United States, each for 1.5 million US dollars...

"When will we be able to build such a huge warship in our country!" Li Rui and the others said with emotion when they saw the two giant steel beasts quietly parked in the military port.

Liu Yijiu felt a pain in his heart.

If it weren't a coincidence, if Argentina hadn't destroyed the British aircraft carrier Invincible in the Falklands battle, there would be no such opportunity.

The Americans sold warships to China, and the stated purpose was to prevent China from continuing to study the path of anti-ship missiles.Although they knew that this could not be prevented, they did not hesitate to use their long-lagging junk warships to enhance the strength of the Chinese Navy and allow the Chinese Navy to diversify its funds.

The total is close to 300 million U.S. dollars. Although 30 million U.S. dollars can be earned on the c801 missile, it actually costs 250 million U.S. dollars. If China wants to make this warship more powerful, the money and energy must not be spent. small.

This will make China's investment in anti-ship missiles much weaker.

At the same time, the Americans knew that China would not sell anti-ship missile technology, so they purchased ten missiles from China to analyze why Chinese missiles could destroy the USS Invincible aircraft carrier and the USS Sheffield destroyer.As long as it is analyzed, the flaw in the Aegis system can be found.

Liu Yijiu proposed to visit the Long Beach Shipyard, but the United States did not agree at all. There are so many advanced things in it. The Chinese bought it back. It is the Chinese people's own business to transform that and has nothing to do with the US government.

Want Americans to provide technology?It's impossible!

The Iowa-class battleship, the largest displacement battleship in the history of the US Navy.The standard displacement is 44,500 tons, the full load displacement is 55,710 tons, and the main armor weight is 18,466 tons.The total length is 270.4, the waterline is 262.1 meters, the maximum width is 33 meters, and the maximum draft is 11 meters. The power system adopts four shafts and double rudders, equipped with 8 babcock&wilcox heavy oil boilers, 4 westinghouse steam boiler turbines, and the main engine power is 212,000 horsepower. , The maximum speed is 31 knots.

These most basic parameters, Liu Yijiu had already been deeply imprinted in his mind.

But there is no intuitive impression.

When he stood in front of these two huge warships, he immediately felt the insignificance of human beings.

He even thought, what would the Japanese sinking Yamato look like if it were in front?

The U.S. Navy does not pay much attention to these two warships. The main reason is that with the advancement of science and technology in modern warfare, the role of fighter jets and aircraft carriers has become more prominent. Battleships have long proved that they can't work at all, otherwise they cannot be sold to China.

Especially the Missouri. After the United States killed Japan that year, the Japanese surrender agreement was signed on this warship.

This is of great historical significance to the Americans. If it were not for the secret sale of the arms sales agreement, the Americans might not have had any reaction, but Japan, which paid a large amount of protection fees to the United States every year, would definitely make noise.

"It's a pity, the main gun on this is about to be dismantled. Without the main gun, the combat power of this war monster will be reduced to less than 20%!" Liu Yijiu shook his head and sighed.

This is the pinnacle of the era of the great ship cannon.

The reason why the Americans did not pay much attention to these two battleships was because the transformation would really cost too much money.

Except for the hull, everything on the entire warship will be replaced.

Nine main guns with a caliber of 406 mm, with a barrel length of 20 meters, look as sharp as the teeth of beasts.Ten twin-mounted secondary guns of 127mm and 38 times the caliber make this beast look more hideous.

"Director Liu, in two more months, the two largest existing battleships in the world will be yours!" Mist said with a smile on his face.

In his eyes, there was no regret or loneliness at all, even though the Japanese had signed a surrender agreement on the Missouri.

For Americans, they have no history, and national interests are what they need to pursue.Although these two warships may increase the strength of the Chinese Navy a lot, the main weapons and equipment have been dismantled, and the time, energy and funds invested by the Chinese in this transformation are not small.

A strong China is in the interests of the United States and Western countries, but China is a red regime. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Americans will also kill China.

"It's a pity, although it was once the most powerful, but now it is a tiger without teeth!" Liu Yijiu sighed, shaking his head."With China's military level, the combat capability of this battleship cannot be restored within at least ten years!"

"Once the combat capability is restored, China's naval manufacturing industry will be greatly improved..." Connor Donald was about to laugh in his heart, but said with great joy on his face.

Let alone ten years, even twenty years, China will not be able to complete it.

The Americans invited Liu Yijiu to visit it up close. Liu Yijiu didn’t even think about it, so he refused. The reason was that he saw the power of this monster, but he finally got a toothless tiger. The gap in his heart was too great. Even the Americans left without attending the dinner party prepared here.

This time his purpose of coming to the United States has been achieved.

As for anti-ship missiles, he is not afraid that the Americans will develop the technology above 801. The technology of c802 will reach the improved performance of the am-39 in the 1990s.

The number of c801 missiles equipped by the Chinese Navy is actually only 24 in total, which is a data that foreign countries have never expected.

"Isn't there two ships on the order? The same is true on the contract, why do you say there is only one?" After Liu Yijiu returned to China, he directly reported to the senior management.

Although Liu Yijiu wanted to buy Iowa-class battleships, he was not very supportive. With this money, he might as well use it to build a few more 051-class guided-missile destroyers.Or invest in the research work of the 052 ship.But Liu Yijiu's reason is too strong. China can't live without large surface ships!

In particular, it is conceivable that such a warship's transformation opportunity will promote the entire Chinese shipbuilding industry.

"Yes, the Americans did not agree to replace the other two remodeled ships with us. At the end of World War II, Japan signed a surrender agreement on the Missouri. This historical significance is for the United States, a country with no history. It should be very important." Liu Yijiu nodded and said, "It is conceivable that when it is delivered, the Americans will refuse to deliver the Missouri to us on this ground, and the Wisconsin has been bombarded by Vietnamese artillery from the Vietnamese waters. Retired after the injury and has not been repaired until now..."

"In that case, do you still buy?" Li Yunlong wanted to slap Liu Yijiu into the air.

It is simply a prodigal.

That's hundreds of millions of dollars, or US dollars!

How much is the cost of naval shipbuilding in a year?

"It must be purchased. This warship will be used to learn from all the large domestic shipyards. They have one year to study and analyze. After one year, we will start to transform. The power system, we will change to nuclear power! "Liu Yijiu said firmly.

Liu Yijiu considered the transformation of the Iowa-class battleship for a long time.

The transformation of this battleship into a guided missile battleship will definitely be stronger than the Kirov class.

This will give the Chinese Navy a very powerful learning opportunity, and at the same time will promote the development of a series of military fields such as the naval shipbuilding industry (ship design and manufacturing), the aerospace industry (supporting missiles) and so on.
