The reason why the second old man became murderous was naturally because he had confidence.
As the deputy chief of the Military Commission, he will definitely serve for another term. There is no reason not to make some gestures. As the saying goes, he is seeking his own government in his position. Facing the increasingly serious topic of corruption in the country, the second old man has
We must show our determination to fight corruption.
As the saying goes, if the superiors do something good, the subordinates will do the same. If those at the top cannot show their determination to fight corruption, but are just worried that this double-edged sword will hurt themselves, how can they expect the people below to work seriously?
In many cases, anti-corruption is more like a brick in a political struggle. Those who are not firm in their stance, have contradictory attitudes, pose a certain threat to their own faction, and those who cannot be ignored by themselves are the repeated targets of the focus.
Of course, from a common sense point of view, as long as this brick is knocked down, there will rarely be no bleeding. This is not to say that there are no exceptions, but such special cases are really rare and rare.
The second old man wants to sacrifice a group of people's heads to the flag as the leader of his new term. Ye Kai is naturally optimistic about the success. Compared with some senior generals who only want to climb up, the second old man
Being able to make such a gesture is already very rare.
You know, anti-corruption is also very controversial within the military. Some people believe that anti-corruption within the military will shake the foundation of the military.
But the second old man insisted that it would be a terrible thing if the top brass in the military also held such an idea. "The military can't even solve its own political problems, so how can we expect them to win the war?!"
However, the second old man also has many difficulties that are not well known. After all, it is difficult for a person to stand alone, and the opposition is still very strong.
"This time's anti-corruption campaign in the military is probably less loud than the thunder." The second old man sighed and said to Ye Kai, "The main purpose is to scare people, and also to deal with a few more serious problems.
But a lot of work still needs to be done to form a long-term anti-corruption mechanism.”
"There is no way around this. After all, until now, no country, no political party, no army can completely solve this problem, and we are no exception." Ye Kai has his own clear thoughts on this, "
Human nature is profit-seeking and selfish, but the expression is different. Policy norms are very important, but you can still find ways to circumvent the system. The so-called manpower is sometimes poor, but this is not the case everywhere, at least everyone
When making money, infinite wisdom will burst out."
"This is indeed the case, but institutional norms are still very important." The second old man said.
However, after the two of them chatted for a while, the second old man asked about Ye Kai and suddenly ran over. It was definitely not just to chat, there must be some truth to tell.
"To be honest with you, Grandpa, there is something really happening recently that I want to discuss with you." Ye Kai said to the Second Grandpa, "There are some things that are not appropriate to tell my grandfather, that is, in the name of the military.
It will be easier to proceed."
"Let's talk about it. We're not outsiders. Is there anything that we can't talk about?" the second old man said, but he was also beating a drum in his heart. I believe it won't be easy to get Ye Kai to bring it up solemnly.
Sure enough, Ye Kai took out a piece of information, which was actually placed in the file bag. The word "Top Secret" was also written in red pen on the outside, which looked shocking. The second old man couldn't help but laugh to himself.
After opening the bag, the second old man laughed.
"Haha. "Groundhog Project"? Why is it called such a funny name? Did you come up with it yourself?" The second old man looked at the plan compiled by Ye Kai with the mentality of watching a joke, but
After reading it for a while, my expression became serious, and I turned over the plan carefully, reading some parts several times. Apparently I found it very attractive and found it difficult to put it down for a while.
Woodchucks, also called marmots, are good at digging burrows. Usually the burrows have more than two entrances for safety.
In the "Groundhog Plan" he drafted, Ye Kai proposed the possibility of purchasing some special strategic resources from the former Soviet Union.
In the first part of the "Groundhog Project" that the second old man saw, Ye Kai proposed the idea of taking advantage of the current chaotic situation in the former Soviet Union to bring back a batch of the former Soviet Union's "Goldfish" nuclear submarines.
There is nothing unusual about the "Goldfish" nuclear submarine, but the most important thing is that it is an attack nuclear submarine built of all-titanium alloy. It is also unique to the Soviet Navy. This mysterious nuclear submarine has a diving depth of
The huge advantages in technical performance such as underwater speed are absolutely breathtaking and impressive, but the huge and high cost also earned them the ironic title of "goldfish".
The navies of the former Soviet Union and Russia have always favored nuclear submarines. The number, tonnage, and variety of nuclear submarines they equipped have made it difficult for the U.S. Navy to match them.
In an era when the United States and the Soviet Union were competing for global hegemony, nuclear submarines, as the core of the "secondary nuclear strike capability" and the backbone of strategic nuclear forces, played a decisive role. Therefore, both countries spared no effort and launched tit-for-tat competition in the construction of nuclear submarines at no cost.
compete.
In the mid-1950s, in order to catch up with the United States' dual advantages in nuclear submarine technology and quantity at that time, nuclear submarine design experts from the former Soviet Union took a unique approach and actively studied the use of titanium alloys to build attack nuclear submarines.
Experts from the former Soviet Union believe that the diving depth is an important tactical and technical element for attack nuclear submarines. Increasing the diving depth of nuclear submarines has the following effects: First, it can reduce the possibility of being discovered by magnetic detectors on anti-submarine aircraft, and titanium alloys have low
The advantage of magnetism is that it is a material suitable for building submarines; second, it can use the blind zone of surface ship sonar in the deep sea to avoid the search of surface ships; third, it can delay the emergence of propeller cavitation, thereby reducing propeller noise; fourth, it can be used when encountering
When attacking enemy depth bombs, it has longer maneuvering time, which reduces the possibility of the submarine being hit by depth bombs; fifth, it can expand the range of the submarine sitting on the bottom of the sea and the possibility of passing through the anti-submarine zone.
In addition, using titanium alloy to make the hull can greatly reduce the displacement of the boat.
Compared with special steel, titanium alloy has obvious advantages of high strength, light weight, and is more resistant to sea water. Therefore, the former Soviet Union decided to start building an unprecedented all-titanium alloy nuclear submarine.
The former Soviet Union also inevitably encountered many difficulties in the process of building all-titanium alloy nuclear submarines. In addition to the high cost, the technology was also difficult. The main problem was: to increase the submarine's diving depth, not only would the pressure-resistant submarine be
The pressure-bearing capacity of the body is put forward higher requirements, and a series of issues such as the pressure-bearing capacity of all submarine systems that bear outboard seawater pressure and some seals need to be improved. The welding of titanium alloy is also a very difficult problem in construction. During welding
, the cooling weld metal and the adjacent base metal area must be protected with inert gas to avoid interaction with oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen in the surrounding air, otherwise the weld itself and the surrounding parts of the weld will become brittle
and cause cracks.
With the full support of the former Soviet government, technicians overcame many difficulties, and the process of using titanium alloy to manufacture hulls was finally solved. In order to produce the "Alfa"-class titanium alloy attack nuclear submarine with greater diving depth, the engineer responsible for the design
The 143rd Special Design Bureau (now the Malachite Design Bureau) later put forward the requirements for titanium alloys with better performance and better technology to the titanium alloy development units, which were subsequently met. This provided the basis for the construction of three-level equipment for the former Soviet Union.
The all-titanium alloy attack nuclear submarine laid the foundation.
In more than 20 years from 1963 to 1988, the former Soviet Union built a total of 12 three-class all-titanium alloy attack nuclear submarines, including 7 "Alfa" class, 1 "Mike" class and 4 "Sierra" class.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the "Alfa" class and the "Mack" class nuclear submarines set two world records for the fastest underwater speed and maximum diving depth of combat submarines respectively, which they still maintain today. The "Sierra" class is the former Soviet Union's
It has the best overall performance among all titanium alloy nuclear submarines built.
The "Alfa" class adopted many new technologies and created many firsts in the history of nuclear submarine construction in the former Soviet Union. It was called a "nuclear submarine ahead of its time."
When the U.S. Navy first discovered in the spring of 1979 that the "Alfa" class nuclear submarine could dive into the deep sea of 900 meters, it was at a loss. All types of torpedoes at the time could not even reach this depth, and it was impossible to attack it.
However, the "Alpha" class used a large number of technologies that were not very mature at the time, and its performance was not very stable. The most notorious problem was the alarming radiation noise. According to the U.S. Navy, the listening station in Bermuda was actually able to listen.
To the propeller noise of the "Alfa" class nuclear submarine located in the Norwegian Sea. Although this statement is a bit exaggerated, it also shows from one aspect that the noise of the "Alfa" class is indeed quite loud.
At the same time, the reliability of the "Alfa" is not high, and serious accidents have occurred. The first batch of six production boats has experienced frequent failures. The first batch of production boats was scrapped in 1988, and the remaining five boats are also considering withdrawing from active service. They are facing
The fate of being dismantled.
"My plan is to purchase these nuclear submarines that have been retired from active service, and try to buy back these six nuclear submarines at the price of scrap steel." Ye Kai said to the second old man.
"Is it possible?" After hearing this, the second old man felt a little incredible.
After all, these things are the treasures of the Soviet people. Even if they don't use them, they can't be handed over to foreigners. How can they be advantageous to the Republic in vain?
"It's completely possible." Ye Kai nodded with certainty and responded directly to the second old man's question.
Because Ye Kai knew very well that after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, everyone dismantled the aircraft carriers and sold them for scrap steel, and also dismantled several nuclear submarines. Although the "Alfa-class" "Goldfish" titanium alloy nuclear submarines were powerful, they could not escape being dismantled.
