Chapter 2523 Do you want the aircraft carrier that was given away for free?
Seeing that the boss seemed to be in a good mood now, Musberg thought about it and said with a smile again: "Boss, I wonder if you are interested in aircraft carriers?"
"Aircraft carrier? Are you talking about the beautiful country's aircraft carrier?" Tang Weidong was shocked and sat upright.
Musberg smiled and nodded, giving a definite reply.
Damn, if you can really buy a beautiful country's aircraft carrier, Tang Weidong is not just interested, he is simply interested. He doesn't dislike Mao Xiong's aircraft carrier, let alone Yingshang's aircraft carrier!
Especially if the domestic military knows about it, it will definitely break the threshold of Tang Weidong's family.
Even if you can't use it for yourself, even if you have an in-depth understanding of them and know their advantages and disadvantages, you will have a clear idea when you really fight in the future, right?
Even if you can't use it yourself, you can use them with relevant domestic parties in exchange for other benefits you need.
Thinking of this, Tang Weidong immediately said: "If you are interested, you must be interested. But is the Eagle Sauce Military willing to sell it? What model are they going to sell?"
Musberg did not let Tang Weidong wait, and immediately satisfied his curiosity: "When we asked about buying the dock landing ship, the Eagle Sauce Army took the initiative and eager to sell us several Forest-class aircraft carriers they had just retired."
"If you like, you can choose from four Forest-class aircraft carriers, Forest, Saratoga, Ranger, and even the Independence that will be retired this year."
The Forest-class aircraft carrier is known as the world's first super aircraft carrier. Tang Weidong has naturally heard of its name.
Even if you don’t know about this aircraft carrier, most people have heard of the Independence aircraft carrier that is swaying under our noses every day during the crisis of the Straits.
During the First Gulf War, the four Forest-class aircraft carriers also made collective appearances.
This is a giant with a standard displacement of 60,000 tons, a full load displacement of 80,000 tons, a speed of more than 30 knots, and can carry nearly 80 carrier-based aircraft.
To be honest, they can just take out one of them and form a single aircraft carrier fleet, and they can fight a battle to destroy some small countries.
These aircraft carriers were all built in the 1950s. According to the 30-year service life, they have been considered to be seriously overdue, and the maintenance cost has far exceeded their use value.
Therefore, the four Forest-class aircraft carriers have all chosen to retire in recent years.
Among them, Forlester and Ranger retired in 1993, Saratoga retired in 1994, and the Independence was renovated and postponed to service until now, but it was also confirmed that it would be retired after July this year.
These are all just retired and are still very enthusiastic. They were once the main aircraft carrier of the Eagle Sauce Navy.
If you can really get them, or one of them, it will definitely make the aircraft carrier process of the Planter Navy make a qualitative leap.
Of course, Eagle Sauce is not a hairy bear. It is easy to get these aircraft carriers. As for the design drawings and detailed information of the aircraft carrier, don’t even think about it.
If you dare to think about it, the "second time" of the beautiful country, maybe you will come to the door and ask what you want to do!
However, even if there are no design drawings and detailed data, even if you just look at their internal structure and understand the materials they use, you may also gain some benefits.
At this time, Tang Weidong had already made a decision in his heart that as long as the Eagle Sauce is willing to sell, he must take them down.
But, Ying Jiang must not just let his aircraft carrier fall into the hands of the Tutu family. There will inevitably be many restrictions in the process of buying and selling.
After buying the aircraft carrier, how to complete the transaction with the domestic military is a big problem, and Boss Tang was in a turmoil for a while.
Musberg, who was sitting opposite, didn't know what Tang Weidong was thinking at this time. He thought that Boss Tang was not very satisfied with the Forest-class aircraft carrier.
So, after thinking about it, he said again: "Well, boss, if you are not satisfied with these aircraft carriers, the Eagle Sauce Military said that the current Kitty Eagle aircraft carrier can also be considered!"
I'm here to tell my mother. As soon as Musberg said this, if Tang Weidong hadn't had a psychological quality, he might have jumped up on the spot.
Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, what is that? That is the door-door squatting at our doorstep. It is also an upgraded version of the Forest-class aircraft carrier and the last conventional-powered aircraft carrier of Hawks.
At the same time, it was the main attack aircraft carrier of the Eagle Sauce Pacific Fleet at this time. Even this thing can be sold? Is Eagle Sauce crazy?
Tang Weidong felt that his brain was not enough and didn't know what to say. He just looked at Musberg with a suspicious look, hoping to wait for him to give himself a "perfect" explanation.
Musberg also saw Tang Weidong's doubts, so he laughed and said, "Boss, don't be too surprised. The Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier has been in service since 61 years and has been in service for 38 years, which has long exceeded its service life."
"Before 91 years, the Eagle Sauce Army wanted to retire the Kitty Eagle, but happened to encounter the Gulf War. So it made a life-long modification and continued to serve."
"It's like this, once it's been in service, seven years have passed. Last year (in 1997), the Kitty Hawk returned to the shipyard and had to undergo an overhaul. The preliminary budget for this overhaul may cost more than $100 million."
"Some people and military in the country think it's not worth it, so they think of retiring it. We just came to buy large ships, and they took the initiative to sell them to us."
There are some things that did not happen, which Musberg did not know, but Tang Weidong knew very well.
I don’t know if the Kitty Eagle is good or bad. Anyway, every time it is about to retire, it will encounter something, and then it can only continue to extend its service time.
For example, this time, Eagle Jiang really wanted to retire the Kitty Eagle, but it encountered the "911" incident again, and then the Second Gulf War, which could only be "forced" to extend the service time again and again.
This delay was delayed until 08 years, and it was not until it officially retired after serving for 48 years.
Both Forlester and the Kitty Eagle were going to sell them on their own initiative, and Eagle's slutty operation made Tang Weidong speechless.
He was too lazy to continue to think too much, so he simply asked, "How much do they plan to sell?"
Boss Tang is so "just 100 million people" and habitually "speak with money".
