Chapter 340 Battleship Starts Construction (1)
When talking,.
In short, they haven't met for quite some time. One is that the orders between the two sides have gradually decreased, and the other is that James is mostly coming to discuss the equipment, ammunition and second-hand equipment required by some defense companies.
However, Yang Hao and his strange mercenary armed forces still have a lot of orders to Ivan. For example, not long ago, James just got a batch of individual missiles flowing from the West Asian battlefield from him and obtained some information about the intelligence there.
Ivan judged from this that they wanted to turn their main business to the hottest West Asia, and the big pit in Afghanistan, but they didn't want to get into trouble.
In more than a year, the transaction amount between the two parties was tens of millions of dollars. This is a considerable order, and it can even be ranked around the world. After all, except for the five major players - tanks, warships, aircraft, advanced artillery systems or rocket launchers, there are not many ordinary small orders that break "No" and "Wrong" and "Wrong". Although the African market does not have any business, the amount of each batch is not high. Apart from the simple-minded and uncultured old blacks, they are very easy to buy other slightly valuable and high-end weapons.
No matter how big a guy is, he has to face the threat of the five major gangsters. Not to mention other things, Kenya’s neighbor Tanzania and several other countries are all China’s territory. West Africa, North Africa and other places are old colonies of Britain, France and other countries. American defense companies and oil companies join forces to find gold and do countless despicable things.
Therefore, it is difficult to make big lists in places where the great powers gather. It is also quite unwise.
After providing a series of gun and bullet production line drawings, Ivan judged that his future business would not be as much. But unexpectedly, he received a call from James yesterday. He was moved and rushed over in a special plane.
After seeing Yang Hao again after half a year, Ivan clearly felt an unusual change. The young man in his twenties showed a depressing power in his bones. Although he still smiled brightly and warmly, he could never see the tenderness of the flying and revealing appearance when he first met.
This made him inexplicably think that many African warlords and even the military leaders of some small countries they had dealt with before seemed to be less imposing than Yang Hao's momentum.
What terrible things have he experienced in the past year that he has become like this?
Yang Hao felt the scrutiny of the arms dealer, but he smiled slightly without caring, and said leisurely: "I did build a heavy cruiser, but it was a gift to my father and registered with my country's military department. I only have some advice on the equipment and equipment configuration of warships."
He was telling the truth and was helpless.
The reality is that the heavy cruiser of the "Oriental" has become a test platform for various domestic military equipment. After several major shipbuilding and steel companies were mixed in in the early stage, as the hull closed, the power system was installed. More military-industrial companies suddenly emerged.
The series of civil-grade equipment originally planned was packaged by a large number of digital code institutions. The radar system alone created a series of sea, air, navigation, guidance, etc., and even modified the design drawings and changed the top of the rear bridge to a trapezoidal four-sided shield option! A little more experienced military fans may see that this is the passive phased array radar of the "Chinese Aegis Shield"?!
In addition, anti-submarine sonar, military wireless communication systems, in-ship communications and computer systems were also created to move infinitely towards a standard warship.
Afterwards, various ship facilities were forcibly entered one after another, ranging from a sailor's bedroom, from CIC centers, even restaurant equipment, and even lighting... and so on, a large number of civilian-grade facilities were originally mixed with a large number of military products. Although they all claimed that they were not expensive, they could delay the construction period of the warship for several months out of thin air, and at least the trouble was not ordinary.
At this point, Yang Hao understood that the military had not been holding back. They had never built such a tonnage warship before, and they would not spend money to build a platform with a platoon of nearly 15,000 tons for experiments - who can apply for the expense of more than one billion soft sister coins?
It happened to meet such a sucker as the Yang family and have a relationship with the navy. So I just kept doing it and took advantage of the situation and took advantage of the situation.
The last drawing Yang Hao saw, if the external missile launcher was added, this heavy cruiser would become a multi-purpose guy like the "Baltimore-class" modified after World War II, but he basically didn't have the chance to go to the battlefield.
But it is undoubtedly a military weapon testing platform. This makes Yang Hao mixed joys and sorrows.
Once it was projected onto the B plane, it immediately became an advanced and super invincible warship, much more powerful than expected. But what is even more worrying is that the things he spent so much money to make would probably be unlikely to use them casually in the future. At least within a few years, the navy repeatedly disassembled and installed various equipment and even weapons, so there is no need to question it.
The Chinese Navy will sooner or later build a large missile destroyer, and before that, there is a platform for testing equipment, which is better.
There are too many internal stories that the outside world would not know. Yang Hao pointed it out so carefully, but Ivan could hear the implication. A heavy cruiser platform of more than 10,000 tons, even if it can only use naval guns, is a very terrible existence. Perhaps the five major countries such as rogues don’t care, and they can kill it with a missile boat. But if they fall into the hands of some dangerous elements, after modification, they can become a killer for trouble, and they have to be guarded against.
In addition to China's special national conditions, even if you have to be arrested and detained, you still want to play with gunboats and rebel!
Ivan is very patient and waits for Yang Hao to continue to talk about the following.
Yang Hao continued: "But I do need some real ship equipment, and it doesn't matter if I fall behind at all. The key is to use it. Maybe it's not necessary to launch missiles as complicated, but basic radar, sonar, fire control, communication, command and other functions must be met."
Ivan nodded slowly: "I think I can understand what your needs are. Then, even the products from twenty years ago are no problem. Can you understand this way?"
Yang Hao liked his confession very much. He smiled and said, "I don't mind the second-hand goods removed from the old warship. As long as it is easy to use and can be used, it's fine. Of course, it's even more ideal for you to provide some technical support. You have to know that so many electronic devices are not able to debug them smoothly."
This is very clear.
Nowadays, the world can produce warship equipment, which is not among the traditional powerful countries. Without exception, these things meet a standard - expensive, dead expensive!
Yang Hao would not spend money to buy so many eye-catching things to put them on backward warships to cause trouble. However, compared to civilian equipment, the old goods removed from the warships may not be inferior.
The second-hand military equipment that has the most flowing into the market in the world today is nothing more than the United States and the former Soviet Union. Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, its originally powerful navy quickly fell apart. Over the years, more than a thousand warships were sold and scrapped. A considerable number of warships and submarines were rusted in the sea, and everything inside could be exchanged for money was also removed and vacate.
Of course, the biggest buyer is undoubtedly the black-bellied rabbit. Those they look down on are useless if others buy them.
Yang Hao estimated that in the arms business circle, there must be a lot of old things that are smashed into his hands. The things made by the Russians are solid and durable, and even if the parts are slightly replaced in a few decades, they will be as easy to use.
When buying these things, it’s just a matter of cheapness. What’s more important is that someone needs to integrate the system and create a simple and practical military version of the ship system.
Before, Yang Hao hadn't thought of this step. The mess of "Oriental" reminded him that in the days to come, he would face the great journey of challenging the whole world of the plane B. Even if there is a bonus from this world, it would be difficult to kill the powerful forces and join forces.
Therefore, he had to do more preparations. If the warships at World War II level were not safe, they would simply be armed to the heights of the mid-twentieth century.
The ship equipment he wants to buy will gradually arm the main battleships he will build next into a powerful combat power that can compete with one or one to ten.
Ivan immediately realized that this would be another big business! Even compared to the orders he received before, the technical content is higher, the transaction amount is larger, and it is more challenging.
He not only needs to provide equipment, technology and information to meet the needs of warships, but also provide corresponding professionals. To put it bluntly, at least it will be a long-term order that lasts for several years. The profits are sufficiently comparable to his previous decade of accumulation. And he doesn't have to work so hard.
"This order must be accepted!"
Ivan felt his heart pounding. If the business was completed, he would move smoothly from the role of a low-level regional arms dealer toward an international-level large-scale arms dealer! That would not only enter the vision of some big-spokens and obtain the convenience of avoiding death gold medal amulets, but also avoid adventures in the war-torn areas, and face the difficult situation of being killed at any time, and can easily drink a little wine and make money.
Very beautiful!
Ivan unconsciously straightened his back and said seriously: "I will complete your commission perfectly. So, can you provide a rough requirement standard?"
The equipment used by warships is not so universal. It often corresponds to a system of one model, and the difficulty of integrating it is not unusually high. This is why the more advanced the warship, the longer the cycle between the launch and service, which is ten times more than the interval between several months in World War II. Nothing else, the system is too complicated.
Yang Hao raised his eyebrows slightly, without saying much nonsense, turned the laptop on the desk and gently pushed it to the opposite side.
Ivan's eyes were attracted by a beautifully shaped warship on the screen. With his professional arms dealer qualities, he could confirm with reference to the instructions and information. This was a small battleship, or a large battleship cruiser!
The classic triple turret and slender hull remind him of the heavy cruiser "Oriental" built in China. There is no doubt that Yang Hao's style of spending money to create heavy patrols has become a world-class topic. He cannot not know.
However, this guy obviously has a wider hull, and the naturally carrying gun caliber must be larger.
Ivan didn't see more explanations, but he knew nothing at all. He pondered for a moment and asked tentatively: "Is this your target ship?"
Yang Hao nodded: "In the Naval Theme Park in Langya City, China, there is a newly built cement warship. You can visit there and you will definitely get good results. In addition, you will receive some blueprints designed by some ship enthusiasts later."
Ivan took a deep breath, pushed the notebook back, and nodded solemnly: "Okay, I remember. Then, please wait patiently for a while, and I will sort out the equipment list as soon as possible. Please rest assured that the price will definitely satisfy you."
Yang Hao stood up, shook his hands and shook his lightly: "Then I'll wait for the good news."
Ivan said goodbye politely.
James then rushed in and asked happily: "Boss, how are you talking?"
Yang Hao said angrily: "Mr. Braun, because of your excessive demands, I will most likely spend a lot of extra money! What method do you plan to make it back?"
Damn war dealers have always been thick-skinned, shamelessly waving their arms, and shouting: "Dear boss, you cannot frame them like this! All my requests are reasonable and are necessary for business development. Please believe that these expenses will bring many times the profit!"
Yang Hao shook his head: "It seems that some people don't think they will continue to receive the salary paid by gold."
James immediately shortened halfway and said frowningly: "You are so stingy! Well, I admit that I have a little greed, but please rest assured, that is definitely a responsibility for your investment!"
Yang Hao waved his hand at him: "It's useless to say it's nice. I want to inspect the investment results myself."
James Bonbon patted his chest: "You can check it casually and ensure that everything is foolproof."
Yang Hao did it as soon as he said, without any hesitation. He flew straight to Mombasa that day. In the training camp near the southern Qualai, he inspected the defense company base and observed the live-fire drills of the mercenary team. Then he turned to the shipyard by the beach.
Among the entire heavy industrial base construction project, the shipyard is undoubtedly the fastest progress. A package of construction plans provided by Chinese contractors completed the entire construction project in less than a year and quickly started construction.
Of course, from factory buildings to equipment, almost all of the entire shipyard are second-hand goods in China, which are cheap and practical, and the original crew is installed and debugged quickly and accurately. During the trial production period, while slowly cultivating local recruited workers, they use domestic recruited labor export workers, and working overtime to build products.
Only Yang Hao knows best that he started construction in an African factory with multiple battleships! (To be continued...)
