MTL - From Arms Dealer To King of War-Chapter 717 plot sea power

  Chapter 717 Plan for sea power

  056's small tonnage determines that its importance is not high, as long as it can bypass restrictions, it can trade.

   If Boss Joe’s own Hamilton class is determined to transform, the large ship with a displacement of 3,250 tons will be more deterrent than the 056 with only 1,300 tons.

   But no one in the Mediterranean just thinks it's wrong!

  Hamilton-class ‘Princess’ is fine, why not 056?

  As long as the thing does not have a missile system, that is, a coast guard ship, one or two ships can only scare pirates, and even the little brothers in Southeast Asia are hard to scare, and they cannot scare the navy of a regular power at all.

  In the Mediterranean Sea, just pull out a family, for example, the Italian Navy has warships stronger than 056.

   China Shipbuilding is still trying in many ways. The 056 is not even the main foreign trade model they envisioned, but the 052D destroyer is.

   With the completion of 055, the 052D, which is one generation behind, can be sold for money.

   But at present they don't have too many options.

  At present, there are only a few hard-core brothers who buy it, but in the end, because the price is too outrageous, only old-fashioned ships like 054 are exported.

  Boss Qiao’s practice of bringing his own clients to seek agents is a good thing that CSSC can’t wait for.

   Logically speaking, CSSC should not care about anything and fully cooperate with Boss Qiao's sales plan.

  It's a pity that Boss Qiao is so important now. The boss of Zhongchuan only reported to the superior, and then his hot brain was pushed into the water by a group of colleagues to sober up.

  Boss Joe must not have any problems. Once he has a problem, the export orders worth tens of billions will disappear, and the people in the Ministry of Commerce will hang themselves.

  The people in the energy group couldn't agree more. Once Boss Joe had a problem, their lives in Iraq and Tobruk would immediately be in dire straits.

   At that time, it will take a lot of energy and time to adjust it. Where can CSSC sell a few 'small boats' to earn back those losses?

  The so-called Mr. Zhang of China Shipbuilding Corporation did not come, but was stopped by Mr. Jin of North Industries who also disagreed. They collectively asked the big leaders to have an interview with the people of China Shipbuilding Corporation. They agreed that selling the ship was unnecessary.

   It wasn't until Chen Xiaodong came up with two plans that the interest group headed by Mr. Jin gave in and took him to find Qiao Liang.

  But Mr. Jin mainly talked about the business in the Congo. He just wanted to divert the attention of Boss Joe with the big development of the Congo. He almost told him that there is really no need to toss a few small boats...

   Those who don’t make a lot of money…

   The game here is actually very interesting. Boss Joe's position determines his importance and degree of protection.

  Brother Qiao Liang knows that his elder brother is very powerful, but he has not realized how many interest groups his elder brother has mobilized, and how he is protected.

  Those Russian bodyguards can hold guns...

  A new security point was set up around the community where they lived and the school, and several capable police officers were stationed there for a long time, all to ensure his safety.

   It's also about doing business, and many so-called second-generation awesome people don't have the treatment like Qiao Liang.

  The current status of the Qiao family brothers determines that other people care more about their safety than themselves.

   Qiao Liang didn't feel it, but Qiao Jia felt great care from the "method" of "China Ship Defense".

  How much profit can you make by making a shell?

  Giving the bulk of the profits 'electronic systems' and 'weapon systems' to French companies, just to make Boss Joe less politically risky, this is playing on Boss Joe's behalf.

  It doesn’t matter if you want to sell the boat, we will find a way for you to resell it reasonably and legally.

   It doesn't matter if I earn less, you must not have any accidents!

   This is nanny-level care!

   Boss Qiao got this favor, because it was China Shipbuilding that helped him bypass the restrictions, and he lowered his status to cooperate with the French. As long as the UAE agrees to nod, Boss Joe can make a lot of money.

  Joga really didn’t think of this method at first, but it’s a good thing, and it can make the business of selling ships much easier.

  But the sudden absence of challenges made Boss Joe less passionate, so he was very interested in the second solution.

  055 big drive, although it is not really for sale, but the plans of CSSC are all around it...

   There are only 4 ships of this thing in service in China now!

   It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole world is paying attention to this 10,000-ton ship named "Renhai Class" named by NATO, even Laomei is no exception.

   And the old American spies have been operating around this big ship for several years.

   Don’t think that Laomei is really invincible, they also want such a big ship, and they are also afraid!

  They are not even afraid of China's own aircraft carrier, because they have redefined the naval warfare model with aircraft carriers as the main body since World War II, and swept the traditional battleships with large guns into the garbage dump of history.

  伱 Stepping in other people's footsteps, it is extremely difficult to surpass him.

  The reason why the 055 large drive has attracted so much attention is that it may break the old US naval blockade and redefine the naval warfare model.

  The 10,000-ton large ship, equipped with the Eagle Strike hypersonic anti-ship missile that cannot be intercepted at all, can bypass the air defense system of the aircraft carrier battle group from a long distance and directly hit the aircraft carrier's lifeblood as long as the short board of long-sea reconnaissance is solved.

   The deterrent effect of this thing on the aircraft carrier battle group is much greater than the pure aircraft carrier confrontation.

  The birth of 055 means that the deterrence of the old American aircraft carrier battle group has declined.

  In the past, the old and the United States established a series of naval warfare standards around aircraft carriers. Once they shake, they need to spend a lot of effort and huge amounts of money to come up with a countermeasure.

  However, the current human technology is still unable to intercept hypersonic missiles, so in order to deal with the possible impact, Lao Mei began to develop his own new type of destroyer.

  The old Arleigh Burke class can no longer withstand the new transformation. The endless problems of the Zumwalt class have annoyed the Navy. Now they need a mature new ship...

  Who would have thought that Lao Mei would come up with the idea of ​​055?

  Their latest model is tentatively designated as DDG(X). Judging from the leaked renderings, it is the copycat version of 055.

  Many spies who betrayed 055 secrets were caught in China. After learning about Lao Mei’s plan, they were actually not angry, but a little happy.

  Lao Mei is nervous, which shows that the efforts of domestic shipbuilders for decades have not been in vain.

  Once the combat power of 055 is fully formed, exporting 055 to the outside world at that time is to export a brand-new naval warfare standard, bringing maritime competition into the track that you are familiar with, instead of following the pace of old America.

   After all, in terms of aircraft carrier, it is really too difficult to surpass Lao Mei!

  Now they have a chance to drag the old beauty into the quagmire of naval transformation...

  The plan provided by Chen Xiaodong was a bit complicated. They used the confession they got from the spies to learn about Lao Mei’s movements, knowing that they wanted to avoid detours, and at the same time looking for an opportunity to make a comprehensive understanding and analysis of this big ship...

  Then the best way is to find a 'middleman' to buy a 055, and then show it to them.

  The 'middleman' must not be an individual, but must be a local tycoon in the Middle East who has a closer relationship with Hua, so that it is possible to persuade Hua to make an appointment to export 055 when its own navy is not yet equipped.

  Of course, it can only be an appointment. Before Huaguo completes the equipment, it is impossible for 055 to be delivered.

This appointment may be ten years or twenty years, maybe it will be an appointment forever. The real export model will be the 052D destroyer with more than 6,000 tons but the same bloodline as the 055. After all, the Persian Gulf does not need tens of thousands of tons. big ship.

   But this is enough. As long as you participate in the negotiation, you will naturally get the opportunity to observe and study on the 055 ship. Then, by taking advantage of the training opportunity, the spies arranged by the United States are mixed in the UAE team, and some have the opportunity to figure out the structure of the 055.

  At the same time, use the opportunity of analyzing the 052D weapon system to deduce as much as possible the combat effectiveness of 055.

   The group of people headed by Chen Xiaodong think very clearly, they are not afraid of Laomei imitating 055, but wish they could imitate.

Because Laomei itself has enough ability to develop larger ships with stronger performance. They have the world's best electronic radar system, power system, and supersonic missiles are inferior, but I will show you that stuff, you can see it What's coming out? The foreign trade version of the hypersonic missile is not afraid of people watching.

  Given the opportunity, why not put them into an arms race on their own familiar track?

   To put it bluntly, in terms of the cost of large ships, Huaguo has a cost advantage and room for improvement that the United States cannot match. You are similar to what I built, and I can even deduce your weaknesses from my own experience.

  Before, Chen Xiaodong and the others couldn’t make things too obvious, and things were always under discussion without any conclusion.

In principle, this kind of important weapon of the country must be purchased by a friendly country sincerely. Then, out of concern and consideration for its allies, Huaguo can extract a shrunken version of the 052D from the navy's order to carry out the transformation of the foreign trade version. .

  The current situation is that Lao Mei wants to study it in depth, but due to reasons such as face and politics, it is impossible to end by herself.

  They also need a "middleman" to buy it. If possible, create an opportunity for them to go to the 055 ship for field inspection...

   China Shipbuilding also wants to sell, but it is definitely not 055, but 052D. As long as this smaller guy is equipped with anti-ship missiles, the core logic of 055 is the same.

   This is not only to make money, but also to export a new standard of ocean, which is too beneficial to them.

   As for military secrets and the like, it is of course important, but can 055 figure it out at a glance?

  I dare to sell you 052D, I am not afraid of you dismantling it!

   I showed you everything, so stop corrupting our core technicians, go back and make it yourself!

  With the beginning of the first 052D, maybe the blockade can be broken, and the local tyrants in the Middle East can start purchasing the second and third ships. In the future, direct export of 055 will not even be ruled out...

  Huaguo and Laomei have completely different positions. Laomei needs to maintain maritime hegemony. Such large ships that may threaten aircraft carriers will never take the initiative to sell them.

  However, Huaguo's demands are completely different, and it is too much for his family to fight against Laomei's maritime hegemony.

  In fact, the more countries hold large ships like 052D equipped with supersonic anti-ship missiles, the greater the impact on the influence of the old American aircraft carrier battle group will be.

   This is an advanced version of uniting all forces that can be united, and sharing the work of putting pressure on the old US Navy.

  Lao Mei is the kind of domineering temperament that I can hold a gun to your head, but the weapon you hold to threaten me is a capital crime.

  Whether it is the export of 055 or 052, it is poking their lungs.

   It is foreseeable that the more output of 052D large drives, the more people will be offended by the old beauty.

  Now both parties have their own ghosts, but they have love and concubine intentions, but they can't find a suitable partner to achieve a breakthrough.

  Boss Joe pulled the big local tycoon in the United Arab Emirates to jump out on his own initiative. Wouldn't that be timely rain?

  Small boats like 056 can make a lot of money, let’s toss the 052D, the shrunken version of the 055 big ship!

  A large ship of more than 6,000 tons, equipped with various high-end missiles, and people really want to know, it is appropriate to sell 2 billion.

  For Choga and the UAE, this kind of thing really does not offend others, and even has many benefits.

  From the standpoint of the United Arab Emirates, I spent money to buy a big ship to analyze it for you, and even provided the opportunity to go to 055. This is betraying the secrets of China, which is very offensive. If you don’t give me some benefits, what can I do?

   Among other things, it would be good for you to untie the F-35 procurement project, reduce the additional conditions, and speed up the delivery.

  From the perspective of Laomei, they need a mature product as a reference to facilitate the rapid advancement of their own projects. It is necessary to visit 055 on the spot!

   What a perfect candidate Boss Joe is!

  In order to contribute to your old American career of dominating the sea, they even betrayed their compatriots. Are you embarrassed not to give some benefits?

  Boss Joe doesn’t even count as a double agent, he is just doing things according to the needs of both parties...

   A few heads are arranged, so that everyone can get what they need!

   Now in front of Qiaojia, how to persuade the big guy in the UAE to spend two billion US dollars to buy 052D, let him earn half of it first.

  The United Arab Emirates is rich, but two billion is too exaggerated, and there are many political interests in it that need to be negotiated in advance.

   This whole process, every three to five years can not be done!

   But it doesn’t matter, everyone first signs a contract of intent, you pay a 30% deposit in cash, and it would be good for Boss Qiao to earn a few hundred million first.
