In one afternoon, Salman introduced the 076 amphibious assault ship to the big dog owners. Salman was very satisfied and signed a contract for two ships on the spot. As for the price, of course it was not a problem. It was whatever Qin Tao said.
After the signing was completed, everyone held another dinner. When the banquet was over, Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao: "Taozi, where will you sleep tonight?"
"Go home, go home and sleep." Qin Tao said quickly.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Come on, let's go home."
Seeing Wu Shengli's mysterious look, Qin Tao was also a little curious. What kind of evil was he holding back in his father-in-law's heart?
Before he even entered the house, Qin Tao heard bursts of laughter coming from inside. This laughter seemed very familiar?
Wait, could it be...
Qin Tao walked a few steps quickly and opened the door. On the sofa, two women were chatting, as intimate as best friends. One was gentle and dignified, and was Qin Tao's wife Zhao Ling. The other was blond, blue-eyed, and with a hot figure.
Hot foreigner, Vitalia!
"When did you come?" Qin Tao asked in surprise.
"We arrived yesterday. I heard that you came back yesterday, but I didn't see you coming home. Qin, what do you mean you went back to the capital but didn't go home?" Vitalia asked: "If you dare
If you do anything sorry for Zhao, see if I don't punish you on Zhao's behalf."
Zhao Ling looked on with a smile, her eyes looking like she was watching a good show, did you see that? Someone can cure you in the future.
"What are you doing here?" Qin Tao continued to ask.
"Of course we are here to discuss business, Qin, you won't forget our agreement, right?"
Of course I won't forget it, I just...Qin Tao suddenly realized that it seemed that he had really forgotten it.
"Of course not." Qin Tao said: "After I came back, I was busy with your affairs. With my efforts, my superiors finally approved the plan to provide you with a second amphibious assault ship... to Guinea. After that,
We have done some more detailed design, and now the entire design has been completed. As long as we can get the money, we can start construction at any time."
"Start work after you get the money?"
"We will start construction without taking any money. We will go back to Mingzhou Group tomorrow. How about you watch our slipway start construction of amphibious assault ships with your own eyes?"
"Taozi, you guys had a great time chatting." Wu Shengli came in behind and said, "You guys continue chatting, there's no one else at home, I'm going to the study."
"Dad, you can also sit down and listen together. Our ship 076 is slightly different in details from the two ships we talked about during the day." Qin Tao said, "You can come and refer to it together."
Wu Shengli smiled: "Okay, then I'll sit next to you and read the newspaper."
There is no one else at home, and the mother-in-law takes the children to participate in activities organized by the school and will be away for several days. This home is just right for discussing cooperation.
"Qin, did you mention two warships during the day?"
"Yes, it was built for big dog owners."
This is not a secret. It will spread all over the world soon. Of course Vitalia will also know it. It is better to say it openly now.
"Since we built two ships for them, it would be too little if we only have one." Vitalia said, "We need at least three ships to be enough."
Qin Tao opened his eyes wide again, so many? Why do you want so many? Can you afford them?
"Weina, warships not only require construction funds, but also require a lot of money for equipment maintenance after they are built." Qin Tao said, "One is enough for you."
Vitalia smiled: "The we I just mentioned refers to Africa, not our group. Guinea has an amphibious assault ship, and the Pyramid State has two. Therefore, several other countries are jealous. Algeria wants
, the Rainbow Nation also wants it.”
Qin Tao was immediately overjoyed: "Really? That's great, we can help them solve the problem!"
These countries are probably also under Varner's control, or Varner can exert relevant influence, and these countries' desire for aircraft carriers must have been promoted by Varner.
As for the reason, it must be to muddy the waters. After all, Guinea has it and other countries have it, so the Americans have nothing to say. This way, Vana will be safer hidden behind it.
Moreover, these countries also have their own reasons.
Algeria is also a big country. The external environment of this country is complicated. It has a bad relationship with Morocco in the west and does not like the Pyramid Country in the east. The Pyramid Country already has two Mistrals. They must be jealous of it. Moreover, they are opposite the Mediterranean Sea.
The French are not willing to deal with it. In the current complicated situation, if they want to protect themselves, they must obtain advanced aircraft carriers.
As for the Rainbow Nation, it has even more urgent needs.
Historically, the Navy of the Rainbow Nation once had a large number of warships with the capability of blue water activities. Unfortunately, due to diplomatic isolation and lack of access to advanced weapons, the Navy of the Rainbow Nation could only make do with old warships. By the 1980s,
In the 1990s, with the retirement of a large number of British Type 12 frigates in their naval equipment, their navy's equipment rapidly shrunk and it became an offshore navy.
Fortunately, at this time, Dongfang extended a hand of friendship. Qin Tao visited the Rainbow Kingdom several times and established a deep friendship with their leaders. After a glorious period of glory, Mr. Qin became the most popular person in the Rainbow Kingdom.
The Mingzhou Group also has a shipyard in the Rainbow Kingdom. This shipyard started with the construction of catamaran yachts and gradually gained the production capacity of warships. It also built some small warships. However, the Rainbow Kingdom Navy will definitely not be satisfied.
They are looking forward to getting more advanced and powerful warships.
Now, these two countries want to purchase aircraft carriers. Of course, Qin Tao has to welcome them. They are here to give money.
Don’t have money? You can do it if you have resources.
"After all, these two countries have limited funds, so the aircraft carriers they need cannot be too big." Vitalia said: "I think a 20,000-ton amphibious assault ship similar to the Mistral is enough, and
, and they don’t have enough pilots to use drones as their main equipment.”
"Of course." Qin Tao said, "Our design department has ready-made design plans."
When I went to Da Mao to bid for the project, the Second Design Office of Mingzhou Group did a lot of design work. Of course, there was also this one with a displacement of 20,000 tons, which was similar to the northwest wind.
As for operating a drone, it's even simpler.
Although Vitalia is making the proposal now, Qin Tao knows that Vitalia must have made arrangements in advance, and Rainbow Kingdom and Algeria will definitely accept it.
"However, you also need to have the ability to operate advanced fighters, which can be mounted at any time if necessary." Vitalia continued: "Guinea will order slightly more carrier-based aircraft, and they can be mounted at any time."
Algeria and the Rainbow Nation do not need advanced fighter aircraft. The most advanced aviation power in the entire Africa must be in the hands of Vana, and the aircraft carriers of these two countries can be used in the future to enhance their ocean combat capabilities, which means that they will be able to do so at any time.
It has a powerful formation of three aircraft carriers/amphibious assault ships.
Qin Tao nodded: "No problem, we will make certain reservations when designing."
After Qin Tao finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shengli who was reading the newspaper: "Dad, what do you think?"
"You should discuss your business among yourself. I don't want to get involved," Wu Shengli replied.
"Also, we think that the catamaran missile boats built by Mingzhou Group more than ten years ago are also good. We hope to purchase a batch of them. Of course, the anti-ship missiles used on them must be replaced with the most advanced models."
Suddenly talking about a small missile boat from a tall aircraft carrier, Qin Tao didn't react for a while, and our Mingzhou Group no longer builds such warships!
"Of course, it would be even better if you had a large number of eliminated catamaran missile boats and could sell them to us cheaply."
Is the 022 missile boat obsolete?
Of course not, it depends on who the user is!
For the Eastern Navy, there was a serious shortage of large warships at that time, so it could only rely on air and submarine boats to complete the task of protecting the ocean. Missile boats were a must. After all, missile boats were fast and powerful, but their self-sustainability was limited, but relying on nearby
With various bases, this shortcoming can be made up for.
But now, when the navy begins to develop into the ocean, the 022 missile boat is useless to the East. After all, the 022 missile boat cannot sail long distances. For offshore patrols, the 056 is more suitable. The 022 missile boat has a small displacement and internal space.
They are narrow and not suitable for use by the navy. Except for a few that continue to exert their residual heat in the southern seas, most of the missile boats have no place to use. In the navy's equipment sequence, they have been slowly retired.
To whom will they be given after decommissioning? The Coast Guard can equip a batch and put a batch in the museum, but there are still a huge number of missile boats. Why not just sell them for money?
Qin Tao looked at his father-in-law: "Dad, our navy's 022 missile boat is being decommissioned, right? Should it be mothballed or sold?"
"This still needs to be discussed at a meeting." Wu Shengli said: "However, if one missile boat can be sold for 20 million US dollars, I estimate that at least 20 missile boats can be sold."
How much does the 022 missile boat cost? This is a mystery. No one knows, but the outside world generally estimates it to be 100 million. Nowadays, one is only sold for 20 million US dollars, which is a very cheap price.
Of course, as for whether Vitalia feels it is suitable, it depends on her own choice.
"Of course, the technology of this kind of missile boat is not complicated. It is estimated that it can be built by finding a shipyard in Africa, such as the Rainbow Country. Moreover, if it is built there, there will be a lot less gossip." Wu Shengli continued.
said.
These naval equipment cannot be sold at a bargain price, otherwise it will be considered as a cheap sale of naval assets. Moreover, if they are sealed now, they may be useful in the future. Therefore, the better choice is to make them yourself. The technology is not complicated anyway. Rainbow
The shipyard in China is still building catamaran yachts, so there is no big problem in modifying the 022.
Vitalia's eyes lit up, yes, it can be made in the Rainbow Country! She originally wanted to buy the retired 022 from the East at a low price, but it seemed that it was too expensive, so she might as well start building a new one.
"Okay, then we'll make it ourselves." Vitalia nodded.
"Our shipyard will also provide great help." Qin Tao said: "We will win 20 million US dollars for this brand-new missile boat."
After saying that, I felt a little inappropriate, so I quickly added: "After all, Heizi has a salary advantage."
Wu Shengli turned over the newspaper and continued reading as if nothing had happened. However, it seemed that the newspaper had been knocked down?
"Can our Glorious Years Shipyard build amphibious ships? If so, the ship ordered by the Rainbow Nation was built at the Glorious Age Shipyard." Vitalia continued: "This is also in line with the Rainbow Nation's national defense.
Requirements for autonomy.”
"Is Heizi also pursuing national defense independence?" Qin Tao couldn't help but ask. He could promise that he was definitely curious, but when he heard what he said, several people in the room laughed out loud.
After all that needed to be said, Vitalia stood up.
"Qin, once the arrangements are made, I will leave."
"Don't leave, stay with me. We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let's talk together." Zhao Ling asked to stay.
Vitalia glanced at Qin Tao again: "No, I won't take Qin's position. Even if Qin is in the country, he probably rarely stays with you. If I leave overnight, it won't attract too much attention."
Qin Tao took out a USB flash drive: "There are detailed information on 076 in it. You can take a look when you go back."
"good."
On the third day after Vitalia left, the African purchasing group officially went to Mingzhou Group.
It was definitely a rare scene for three countries to come together. In the large conference room, Qin Tao cordially received them.
"Everyone, let's talk about it one by one. First, we introduce the Type 077 aircraft carrier designed by Algeria."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, this type of aircraft carrier is weaker, but the previous numbers have been taken up, so of course we have to continue counting backwards.
The Algerian navy representative was very interested: "Mr. Qin, please tell me, we are very interested in Dongfang's design plan. The aircraft carrier you designed must be the most advanced."
"Yes, this aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of 20,000 tons, a length of 192 meters, and a width of 36 meters." Qin Tao began to introduce: "There are two take-off and landing points on the front and rear of the deck, which can support a maximum of about 30 tons.
planes taking off and landing.”
Mingzhou Group realized computer design more than ten years ago. By simply modifying the original design, it can build warships of different sizes. The designs of aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships are even more diverse. You can get whatever you want.
.
"However, considering your specific situation, this aircraft carrier will be mainly equipped with drones. It can conduct reconnaissance, attack, and early warning. It has all-round combat capabilities and is easy to operate..."
"In terms of the power system, we decided to install two diesel engines with a maximum speed of 20 knots, which is economical and fuel-efficient. This aircraft carrier can save more than half of the expenses compared to aircraft carriers of the same displacement throughout its life cycle."
"Yes, this aircraft carrier is very suitable for us, Mr. Qin, we want to name it Qarat Beni Abbas."
"Of course." Qin Tao nodded.
Generally speaking, the naming ceremony will be held after the warship is launched. However, some countries can't wait and decide the name in advance. Algeria is one of them, and this name should be the name of a hero in their country's history.
, because Qin Tao remembered clearly that in later generations, Algeria once ordered one from Italy. It had a displacement of only nine thousand tons, but it had a direct access deck and an elevator. It was very similar to a regular aircraft carrier. It was called a quasi-aircraft carrier. It was also called a quasi-aircraft carrier at that time.
this name.
What was the price at that time? Four hundred million euros.
Now, the price of this ship with a displacement of 20,000 tons will be almost doubled.
"The price of your aircraft carrier is US$800 million. You can choose to pay in cash or exchange resources." After Qin Tao introduced this, he looked at the second customer.
"Mr. Mayer, we now say that the overall design of your navy's aircraft carrier is the same as that for the Algerian Navy. However, since this aircraft carrier will be built at Caihong's domestic shipyard, some expensive equipment can be installed during the construction process.
Weapons and equipment produced by our side, I wonder what your requirements are?”
Different customers, different sales plans. The Rainbow Nation used to be a developed country. Although it has now returned to the ranks of developing countries, it still has many advanced weapons, so it can be left to them to use freely.
Meyer, the representative sent by the Rainbow Nation, was not polite and immediately made a request: "Mr. Qin, we hope that this aircraft carrier can carry carrier-based aircraft produced by ourselves."
"The aircraft you produced yourself?" Qin Tao was very curious: "What aircraft?"
Qin Tao thought of many projects in his mind, such as the Mirage 3 that Rainbow Nation improved with the help of David and turned into a long nose. For example, Rainbow Nation developed its own fighter jets. At that time, there were a large number of technicians from Dassault Company.
Help, but... none of these planes can get onto the aircraft carrier.
"AHRLAC." Meyer said: "This is the first aircraft independently designed by Africans, and it is also the first fixed-wing military aircraft independently developed by our Rainbow Nation."
Qin Tao shook his head, still didn't know.
So Mayer took out a USB flash drive and said, "Mr. Qin, you can plug it into your computer and play it."
Qin Tao nodded: "Okay, plug it into the projector."
If you plug it directly into the computer, there may be viruses or special programs inside, but this projector is different. Everything inside is pure hardware, and the software is directly solidified into it, so any viruses will be useless.
An introduction to an airplane appeared on the projector. When he saw it for the first time, Qin Tao almost blurted out: Habib?
The appearance is very similar to the Harpy drone of the Davidians. The streamlined nose is the main body of the entire aircraft. Behind the nose are two long sticks, which are connected to the tail fin at the back. There are two sticks because there are propellers in the middle.
.
The straight wing is inserted behind the nose of the aircraft, with a single wing and no sweep angle. This aircraft is just a Harpy drone. However, the nose of the aircraft seems to have a cockpit, and it is a two-person cockpit with a low front and high rear.
"The full name of this aircraft is Advanced High-Performance Reconnaissance and Surveillance Light Aircraft." Mayer introduced: "It was developed by Paramount Group, the military giant of our Rainbow Country. It adopts a tandem two-seater layout, with two pilots
At the rear is a PT6A-66B engine driving a three-blade propeller. We arranged the propeller at the rear to provide the pilot in front with the best view, especially when using night vision goggles, without vertigo.
feel……"
Qin Tao was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Is this the advanced aircraft developed by your Rainbow Nation? This is simply a toy. What's the use of it?
"We know that many countries in the world do not have the money to purchase regular fighter jets, but they need cheap aircraft to perform tasks such as intelligence surveillance, armed patrols, counter-insurgency, anti-smuggling, anti-poaching and disaster relief. Our kind
Airplanes are their best option," Mayer continued.
