Will Lao Maozi sell it? Qin Tao gave an affirmative answer to this question, because Lao Maozi's situation had changed.
Nowadays, Lao Maozi is trying his best to win over China, and even sells their precious Su-27 fighter jets. What does the S-300 mean?
You know, the Su-27 is Lao Maozi's homeland air defense fighter. This fighter has never been exported. Even the third brother who has the closest relationship with Lao Maozi can only buy MiG-29.
Now, the Su-27 contract project is in full swing. Mr. Lin has been working on this for a long time. It is said that Lao Maozi's delegation will also drive the Su-27 to the capital for a flight demonstration.
So, times have changed.
After hearing Qin Tao's words, Wu Shengli's doubts turned into affirmations. It is indeed the case. Nothing is impossible. Su-27 can be sold, and so can S-300!
Hearing what Qin Tao said, Mr. Wu was also very happy: "Yes, if Mr. Maozi is willing to sell it and we buy a few sets, take it apart and study it, we can solve the problem that has troubled us for many years."
When it comes to electronic technology, China is now on par with Lao Maozi, and even surpasses it in some aspects. However, Lao Maozi is still able to create various advanced weapon systems because of Lao Maozi's strong integration capabilities. The various subsystems may not be very advanced, but when integrated together, they can become a powerful weapon.
On the S-300, Lao Maozi fully demonstrated this ability.
"Taozi, then we can start negotiations on this weapon with Lao Maozi and introduce this weapon as soon as possible." Wu Shengli said.
"Uncle Wu, this seems to be a matter of the Air Force. What are you worried about in the Navy? Do you have too much money to spend?"
Zhao Ling secretly laughed in her heart. This Qin Tao is really interesting. He is often rude when talking to his elders, but he doesn't feel rude. It's like at the shipyard, where Qin Tao calls Qin Baoshan "old man" all day long. , does not make people feel disrespectful, but has a special sense of intimacy.
Now, he and his father are no longer young or old. It would be interesting to get along like this.
Zhao Xiu'e had already left the dining table, preparing to prepare a few more dishes, in order to avoid hearing something she shouldn't hear. Several other people, including her daughter, were all in the relevant system, so there was no harm in listening.
"That's right, trick the Air Force into purchasing it." Wu Shengli said, "The Air Force will pay for it. After the Air Force introduces it, the test will be good. Our Navy will buy it again, or we can borrow it for better use."
The country's strategy has not changed yet. It is still the same thinking as the previous continental army. The limited power is invested in the army. If the air force is further divided, there will be nothing left for the navy.
Mr. Wu is only responsible for the research and development of anti-aircraft missiles. As for whether they are used by the army or the navy, it is not his concern. Listening to what Wu Shengli said, Mr. Wu also nodded: "Yes, it's time to fool them. However, since the introduction It is estimated that it will take us four to five years to fully understand the technology. I am afraid that the Navy’s maritime area air defense needs will have to wait!”
At present, what the Navy lacks the most is its air defense capability. The regional air defense capability is zero. The Hongqi 61 has poor performance. Only the Sea Sidewinder can support the scene. This thing can only intercept targets about ten kilometers away. Once the interception fails, the consequences will be disastrous.
After the domestically produced anti-aircraft missiles are developed, they must first be equipped with the air force. The army and navy will have to wait.
Qin Tao secretly sighed in his heart that Mr. Wu's judgment was too accurate.
The first S-300 battalion was introduced into the country in 1991, and the domestically produced Hongqi-9 was successfully test-fired in 1995. It really took four or five years.
If it is used by the navy, it will be even later, and it has already rushed to the new century.
"If the Navy wants to solve the problem of regional air defense as soon as possible, I have a way." Qin Tao said.
Wu Shengli's eyes lit up: "Say!"
"At present, we already have a sample of the ship-based vertical launch system. The relevant departments are imitating this vertical launch system. As long as the imitation is successful, it can be installed on our warships. We will then introduce the land-based S-300 system introduced by the Air Force. Once transplanted, it can immediately support the navy with a regional air defense network of nearly 100 kilometers."
According to Lao Maozi, the systems of the navy and the homeland defense air force are different, but the domestic products are different. Our Navy doesn’t care whether it can intercept low-altitude targets or not, let’s first reach things far away.
"Transplant it? How to transplant it?"
Facing the gazes of the two men, Qin Tao introduced his idea: "For example, use our 051-class destroyer as a basis to appropriately increase the displacement to more than 5,000 tons, or even 7,000 tons. On the front of its hull By inserting two sets of rotating launchers and four at the rear, a warship can carry 48 area air defense missiles and become a specialized air defense ship."
Wu Shengli's eyes lit up.
"As for its radar and fire control system, it can be completely transplanted to the air defense system on land. Find a suitable position and squat the phased array radar antenna up. Even if it cannot rotate, you can still rotate it through the hull. Facing the direction of the threat, although we cannot build a four-sided phased array, this one-sided one is still no problem."
The Navy has urgent air defense needs, so Qin Tao will give the Navy some advice. In fact, this is not what he came up with. After all, there was a ready-made example in his previous life: 051C.
As a transitional system, everything must first be resolved with or without it!
If it is Lao Maozi's navy, the land base and the navy are different. However, the domestic development route is not like this. Even if the 051C uses Reeve-M, in fact, it is no longer the same as the navy's S-300F. It has nothing to do with it. It is a modified version of the Army's S-300PMU1. (Some information says this, please correct me if I’m wrong.)
"Everything is focused on installing regional air defense missiles. Even if anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities are sacrificed, even the helicopter hangar can be removed." Qin Tao continued.
Wu Shengli thought seriously.
What Qin Tao proposed is at least a five-year plan. After all, the navy currently only has the 052 class of more than 4,000 tons, which is already the navy's most advanced warship. If the kind of warship Qin Tao mentioned is built, That would immediately solve the Navy's regional air defense problem.
However, there are still many problems!
"How to solve the power system?" Wu Shengli asked.
"Power system? You can use our boiler first." Qin Tao said: "Of course, if the navy doesn't mind the warship's speed being slightly lower, didn't we also get four GTD-16000s from Lao Maozi? It’s okay to just use it first, the speed of 30 knots is enough, but 27 or 8 knots is still no problem.”
Last time I went to Lao Maozi's place, I got a lot of good things, including four high-power gas turbines.
This gas turbine, codenamed GTD-16000, has a maximum power of 22,500 horsepower. Four units can drive a 12,000-ton Glorious class, and two units are said to be able to drive a 6,000-7,000-ton special-purpose air defense destroyer. However, Qin Tao has never tried it, so he dare not guarantee that the speed of less than 30 knots can still be achieved.
Wu Shengli was overjoyed, it was indeed a solution!
After having those four gas turbines, the restless heart of the Navy began to move again. They are studying the next generation of destroyers. However, how to build the destroyers, their displacement, and their uses have not yet been determined.
Now, Qin Tao made a good suggestion to them: build two professional regional air defense warships to solve the navy's imminent air defense problem!
As for the power system, what else can I say? It must be a gas turbine. After all, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. It will definitely be very painful to let the Navy go back to the days of burning boilers.
Moreover, compared with boilers, gas turbines are very small and can save a lot of space. Even the chimney is much smaller. The remaining space of the warship will be larger. Perhaps two more sets of vertical launchers can be arranged. Eight groups, that’s 64 missiles!
Thinking of this, Wu Shengli slapped his hand on his thigh, startling the other people: "Let's do it like this!"
"Hey, Uncle Wu, are you so excited?" Qin Tao said, "I made this suggestion, so I have one more request."
"What's the request?" Wu Shengli asked.
"These two specialized air defense destroyers are under construction at our Mingzhou Shipyard."
Wu Shengli was stunned for a moment: "Taozi, this may be difficult. As you know, there are many large shipyards in our country, all of which are focusing on the warships. Our navy has built warships in recent years. With few plans, your factory may not be able to take over these big factories!"
"Can't grab it?" Qin Tao said: "Who got the gas turbine? Who came up with the idea of an air defense destroyer? If you want to purchase S-300 missiles next, do you still want me to contribute? Uncle Wu, you guys Is this how the Navy repays us?"
Wu Shengli was a little embarrassed: "Well, isn't there a task of building missile boats? This will definitely fall on you."
"That's because other factories don't have this ability." Qin Tao said: "Uncle Wu, it's the 1990s, why does your navy still have to rank based on seniority? You don't have any awareness of market competition! You should have reformed long ago! "
"Reform? How to reform?" Wu Shengli asked.
"Of course it's bidding." Qin Tao said: "Look at the United States, look at European countries, and even look at civilian ships. Which order is not snatched? Those big manufacturers want to rely on their qualifications and wait for their superiors to give them a meal. This That era has long passed! The navy also has to bid for warship construction!"
"What Qin Gong said makes sense!" Mr. Wu sighed at the side: "Actually, even our missile research and development should be bid for, but we don't have the strength yet. However, when it comes to warship construction, there are so many domestic shipbuilding companies Factory, it’s time to bid!”
At present, the navy's warship construction process is still the same. The navy proposes a plan and then asks the ship design institute to design it. The designed drawings are sent to the shipyard, and the shipyard builds it according to the order.
It’s like feeding the shipyard!
Shipyards that are accustomed to feeding themselves will of course cry and beg for orders once they lose their orders.
Zhongjiang Shipyard is one of them. They have been building missile boats for many years. Therefore, they went to the navy leaders and cried and complained that we had no credit but hard work. How many ships should we be given!
Why can a market economy develop a country? It's because in the old days of eating from one big pot, there was no sense of crisis or the concept of competition. Children who cried would have milk to drink, instead of grabbing the teat by their own abilities.
Wu Shengli nodded: "You are right, this reform is imperative!"
Wu Shengli was also a fickle person who did whatever he said. What Qin Tao said was exactly what he wanted.
Although on the surface, Wu Shengli does not support the Mingzhou Shipyard very much, in fact, during the meeting, he always supported the Mingzhou Shipyard. This is not because the money is not flowing to outsiders, but because of the Mingzhou Shipyard. Strength.
If you have strength, you should have orders!
Seeing Wu Shengli nodding, Qin Tao continued to fool around: "This competition must be a thorough competition. Learn from Western countries. Starting from warship design, the shipyard is responsible."
Competition is also divided into many types. If it is just shipbuilding bidding, then whoever has a bigger factory, more purchases, lower steel costs, and lower labor costs will win. Then their Mingzhou Shipyard can still not compete with companies such as Huating. Large shipyards like shipyards.
This will only work if you bid together with the design.
Wu Shengli frowned: "Design?"
"Yeah, think about it. The Navy doesn't have to spend a penny before bidding. The shipyard needs to contact the ship design institute and design it out of its own pocket. Even if it's just a sketch, it still costs money. This Wouldn't the Navy save money?" Qin Tao said: "When the bidding is held, the Navy will select the best among them, not only with excellent design, but also with a suitable price. If the operation is done well, it could only be made For the money of two warships, we can now build three warships.”
Zhao Ling's eyes widened as she listened. Qin Tao's plan was indeed ruthless and had the talent of a capitalist.
Outstanding technical talents, excellent businessmen, far-sighted analysts, and black-hearted capitalists, Qin Tao is really full of aura!
"This is indeed a bold proposal. I can report it to other leaders. As for whether it can be implemented, I don't know." Wu Shengli said.
Reform will inevitably touch the interests of many people. If this plan is put out, the old shipyards will definitely clamor and object. Therefore, Wu Shengli doesn't know whether it will work.
However, as far as the development of the navy is concerned, this is really good advice.
Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao, and inexplicably thought of the four-sided phased array radar plan that Qin Tao had mentioned before, and felt a little emotional: "Now, we have tried our best and racked our brains, but we can only do this kind of nondescript thing." I don’t know when our warships will have the same maritime air defense system as the American Aegis system.”
"Uncle Wu, the reason we are feeling aggrieved now is to be arrogant in the future." Qin Tao suddenly remembered the words of the bureau chief. It is much more domineering than having bread and everything.
