"You don't sign the aircraft carrier?"

Mo Qi was very excited to sign his name with a pen in his hand on the domestic 001 aircraft carrier, but when Xie Kai just saw that there was no movement, he couldn't help but be surprised.

How much did Xie Kai pay for the aircraft carrier?

"no need."

Xie Kai shook his head.

Even if Commander Liu and others persuaded Xie Kai, he refused.

There is really no need for him.

Honors and other things are far less realistic than the navy having an aircraft carrier.

In the original world, because of the blackmail of the native chicken, the Varyag was stuck in the Turkish Strait for more than three years and did not arrive at Dalian Port until March 3, 2002. It was the same day that the aircraft carrier shell entered the inner port.

The next day, Chuanglu Company's gambling license was revoked, so the aircraft carrier shell could not be transformed according to the original gambling ship. It began an idle period of more than a year. It just docked at the port and allowed the people to visit.

Until April 26, 2005, after hard work, the aircraft carrier shell was handed over to the PLA Navy and dragged into the dry dock of the Dalian Shipyard. The Navy changed the installation and continued construction. The main purpose was to be used for scientific research, experiments and training.

And now, the aircraft carrier is started.

It has not started with Varyag's research and transformation.

With this alone, Xie Kai does not think that his efforts with countless people over the years are in vain.

"What are you planning to do with that Varyag? I really don't want it?"

Commander Liu and Xie Kai were walking silently in the area beside the dock.

This is completely different from the earliest times.

Most of the equipment is new.

"The native chickens require a $1 billion security deposit, and once they are given this money, they will not be able to get it back. After a few years, our first aircraft carrier will be unable to keep it confidential again, so this is not a problem." Xie Kai sighed.

The Varyag number cannot be ignored.

There is a training ship, which is also good.

What's more, maybe this aircraft carrier can be sold and make another profit.

"Now we dragged it back, we can prove a lot of technology. Although we have been doing the preparations for so many years, we still have no experience in building such a large aircraft carrier." Commander Liu did not understand Xie Kai's idea.

The Varyag is now towed back, and when the main body of the 001 aircraft carrier is built, the Varyag can be transformed.

Use the transformation of the Varyag to verify that any problems can be solved quickly.

"Chief, our domestic emphasis on the Varyag made the native chicken think we need it urgently, so they listed a series of conditions and required the government to pay a billion USD risk deposit..."

Xie Kai smiled bitterly.

Everyone knows how shameless the native chicken is.

But the native chickens don’t know that in China now, there is no pressure to build an aircraft carrier without the Varyag.

"Only when no one in our country mentioned this matter and the government ignored it, then it would be easier for the aircraft carrier to come back..."

Everyone understands the truth.

Commander Liu also understood this truth.

One billion dollars, just passing the strait, once the money goes into their pockets, will you come back?

It's simply impossible.

One billion US dollars can completely build a 001 aircraft carrier, just the hull, and even a lot of leftovers.

Xie Kai naturally won’t buy it.

"055, the cost is not too high, right?" Commander Liu suddenly asked Xie Kai.

In a few days, the keel will also be laid in a 10,000-ton large-scale drive.

That thing, the Navy always feels that the demand for funding is not as little as 701 said to Hudong Shipyard.

"In the contract system, the Hudong Factory quoted 4.8 billion yuan, which is the final price delivered in a complete state..." Xie Kai looked proud.

"052C is quoted at 3.8 billion, and the displacement difference is quite large." Commander Liu was most worried that when Hudong Shipyard provided these advanced warships to the Navy, it would be like they sold to foreign warships.

Especially Xie Kai.

The sheep slaughter knife in his hand was extremely sharp.

701 is no problem. Hudong Shipyard is a unit under 404, not a unit under the Navy.

Otherwise, they would not have thought of dragging the Varyag back and handing it over to the Dalian Shipyard to continue construction.

There is no competition. Although there will be no other problems in the Hudong Factory, it is entirely possible to use the reason for upgrading or something, and it is completely possible to make more money.

"Chief, there is really no need to worry. At present, the military expenditure is very small. It is just to gather the escort fleet of our first aircraft carrier. It won't take seven or eight years." Xie Kai really wanted to ask the chief, is his reputation so bad?

Besides, he is not going to care about these things anymore.

Wait a few years later, as prices rise, inflation and other things happen, the 052C missile destroyer costs more than 5.6 billion yuan because of the use of active phased array radars, and the 055 will cost nearly 7 billion yuan.

In addition to the missiles and many technical equipment of the two types of ships are almost universal.

Both of these are considered Chinese Aegis Shields.

After all, it was because the navy's pocket was too poor.

Thinking of his own world, the troops were crying for poverty, Xie Kai had an idea emerged and immediately spoke: "Chief, the Navy should send birthday wishes to the motherland this year. During the Spring Festival, I would like to wish the people of the whole country a New Year..."

"The Navy wishes New Year's greetings to the people of the whole country?" Zheng Ming, who rushed over, became curious.

It is already early September, not far from National Day.

If you do something, it's still time.

Especially the military expenditure allocation for the next year will not take long to put it on the agenda.

"There is no military parade this year, and it was only last year..." Commander Liu also reminded Xie Kai.

They didn't know what Xie Kai had to do.

Last year, the Century Parade, Naval Air Force, Marine Corps, and even a lot of new naval equipment were displayed to the whole country and the world during the military parade.

There has not been a year since this has passed.

"Yes, it was only last year. So, this year our Navy needs to celebrate our birthday to the motherland! After all, last year, the people of the whole country did not see our warships, right?" Xie Kai smiled.

The two still don’t know what Xie Kai is going to do.

The navy's warships were unable to drive to land.

After all, fleet reviews can only be at sea.

Xie Kai knew that these two people could not understand the truth.

"Chief, our Navy Aviation and Marine Corps appeared last year. What is the impression of the Navy by the people across the country?" Xie Kai asked the two.

"Then you need to say it? Not only our navy, but other military branches are the same. Compared with the 1984 military parade, new equipment accounts for more than 90%..." Zheng Ming looked proud.

Any Chinese, whether on the scene or in front of the TV, was extremely excited to see the 1999 military parade.

High-tech advanced weapons and equipment have become the mainstream.

However, the outside world does not know that most advanced equipment and domestic troops do not have much equipment.

"What do you mean, let's pull out the most advanced warship?" Commander Liu understood Xie Kai's meaning a little, "Isn't the 052B model not yet..."

Usually, people in China rarely see naval warships.

During the military parade, it was impossible for naval warships to appear in front of the national audience.

"No, we must use the most backward things to let the people of the whole country see that our navy is very backward..."

Xie Kai's words immediately stunned the two of them.

Isn't this a fraud?

"Chief, this is undesirable. Why are we cheating? Our main warship is still 051? Let the people of the whole country see that our powerful warships have the ability to maintain the security of our country's maritime border..."

Xie Kai's bad taste is getting stronger and stronger.

The Navy, now the main battleship is still the Type 051 missile destroyer.

And for a long time to come, the 051 missile destroyer will be the main warships of the Navy.

Until the country later became rich, 052C and 052D also came out...

Commander Liu and Zheng Ming both looked at Xie Kai with shock.

"Xie Kai, let's do this. What if the navy is misunderstood and crying for poverty and asks the country for money?" Zheng Ming finally realized for a while.

These days, this kind of thing is still very unconventional when it comes to doing it.

Especially for leaders like Zheng Ming, they are naturally unwilling to do so.

"Who do you want to show this to?" Commander Liu asked Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was immediately dissatisfied, "Chief, how can I show this to whom I want to show it? This has nothing to do with me..."
