"Of course." I continued: "This does not mean that we do not need the advanced equipment of Western countries. In fact, what we should do is to combine the strengths of the equipment of the United States and the Soviet Union and integrate them, and eventually become
Equipment that meets our own needs with Chinese characteristics.”
This principle is actually very simple. The style of US military equipment is generally willing to spend money, and most of the equipment goes to precision and high-tech routes... Being rich means being willful. The Soviet military equipment is more expensive, practical and reliable.
, that is, it doesn’t look very good in normal times, and when mass production starts, a kind of energy from quantitative change to qualitative change will be emitted.
Judging from China's national conditions, we are indeed more suitable for taking the route of Soviet-style equipment... We do not have as much money as the Americans. On the other hand, we have a large population. If all of them are equipped like the Americans, several armies will come down.
It dragged us down.
But on the other hand, since Soviet-style equipment is targeted in countries like the Soviet Union with low temperatures, even if its equipment is transported to China intact, it will have various discomforts, such as the modern Su-27 coming to Hainan Island.
Oil leaks in high-temperature and high-humidity climates... This determines that we must have our own technology and improve it according to our combat environment and needs.
Of course, if we really want to change it ourselves, it would be fine. Let the Soviets change it... This is what Indians do. After Soviet equipment lands in India, there will also be various problems of disagreement. Indians
The solution is to let the Soviets continue to make changes until they are satisfied.
But it is conceivable that the result of doing this is actually to stick out your neck and let you kill it... This is not only an economic loss, but also a considerable loss. Because the advantage of Su-style equipment itself is that it is cheap and practical, suitable for large batches.
Production, like India, relying solely on the Soviet Union to change, will be gone, and even more expensive than similar products from the United States. For example, the "Vicramatia" is such a thing, given by Russia
The modification cost of India's second-hand aircraft carrier is as high as US$2.3 billion, and the total cost of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, which has a displacement of 20,000 tons more than the United States, is only US$400 million.
There is no big problem with money. After all, there is no technology, so paying more is also necessary. But one day, once a war starts... If the aircraft carrier needs to be repaired, would it be possible to drive to a Russian shipyard to repair it?
Will you come back again in the New Year?!
"Your positioning is quite clear!" Commander Zhang nodded: "And it is also in line with our current national conditions. But Melbourne has been broken up like that, even if we want to find something to learn from, it is not easy for us to find something to learn from.
”
"This may not be necessary!" I said, "There is a saying that it is to repair the plank road and cross the Chencang secretly!"
"Build a plank road openly and cross the Chencang secretly?"
"Yes!" I said: "I think so, the US and Australia have focused all their attention on the Melbourne itself, and they think it's safe to just remove things from Melbourne. Plus,
They have dismantled all the equipment that is worth reusing before, and they will be removed again now... These things are mostly useless to them. How can they deal with these things?"
"Oh!" Commander Zhang couldn't help but realize: "Like the Melbourne, it was treated as a waste!"
"Yes!" I said: "So we only need to recycle some Australian waste... Of course, these are not convenient for us to do it ourselves!"
There is no need to say this too clearly. As long as you find a local person in Australia or acquire it through a third country, it will not attract the attention of Australia or the United States.
Upon hearing this, Commander Zhang couldn't help but nodded repeatedly. He patted my shoulder hard and said, "Good boy, I really have a trick!"
More than two months later, the Melbourne was finally dragged back from Australia with a tugboat... The reason why it took more than two months was because the United States and Australia always felt worried, so they dismantled the things on the aircraft carrier.
They dismantled and checked over and over again. But what they didn't know was that they thought they were smart enough to remove the equipment that was still valuable, but in fact, they turned around and returned to us.
Of course, this does not mean that these equipment can still be used. When the Australian side dismantled these things, it often uses welding guns or even blasting methods to violently dismantle them, so the things we get are really scrap, some even
incomplete.
But what we need is not to be used, but to want to know the data or where to install these equipment, etc., as we said before, this is accumulating for the future that we can build an aircraft carrier.
experience.
When the Melbourne was dragged into the shipyard, Commander Zhang also brought a few staff officers with me... That scene may not be anything to me, who had been on the British aircraft carrier, but it was for Commander Zhang and others.
Very shocking.
I always remember the stunned expression on their faces when they looked at the giant standing in front of them, and the staff members all talked: "Is this still a ship? It's just a sea city!"
Commander Zhang looked heavy and didn't say anything. He sighed and asked me, "Is this the British light aircraft carrier? Are there any bigger Americans?"
"Yes!" I nodded: "This is similar to the British aircraft carriers that participated in the war on the Cambridge Island. They are both more than 10,000 tons, and the Americans' latest aircraft carrier is nearly 100,000 tons, which is seven times the size!"
Hearing this, the staff around him couldn't help but gasp... If the Melbourne was a water city, then what was the American aircraft carrier? And the American aircraft carrier was also a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
This is indeed a bit annoying. The American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers are walking around the world, but we are still collecting the junk of this light aircraft carrier, hoping to know as much information as possible from these junks.
But there is nothing we can do about this. Who makes us fall behind? If you want to catch up with others, you have to take it step by step, and there is no other shortcut to take it.
Of course, there are shortcuts. Just buy a second-hand aircraft carrier like India. As long as you can afford the money, people will naturally be willing to sell it. But this is not what we hope, because we are very clear that mastering the technology of building aircraft carriers is much more important than owning
An aircraft carrier is much more important.
"Oh!" Commander Zhang sighed again: "We are much worse than the United States and the Soviet Union, so we have to work harder!" (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
