"How much? Didn't you say it was 1 billion US dollars last time? That's really a bit expensive."
Although the cost of building an aircraft carrier is around 2 billion US dollars,
This is just the price of the aircraft carrier itself, not including any weapon systems or radar systems.
Carrier-based aircraft, as well as maintenance and support facilities, etc.
However, a toll of $1 billion is not just an exorbitant demand.
It's pure insult.
Didn't you want to buy a decommissioned, secondhand aircraft carrier to study?
I won't let you buy it. I'll set an exorbitant toll and seize your aircraft carrier.
"How can we not buy them? Which superpower or military superpower doesn't have an aircraft carrier these days?"
India already has two aircraft carriers. If we keep going like this, who wants to be the naval commander?
Commander Yuan commands China's strongest navy, but when he goes out to attend various international conferences...
That's all just playing dumb; they lack real confidence.
Someone asked, "When will your aircraft carrier be launched?"
How can a navy claim to be so powerful when it doesn't even have an aircraft carrier?
"You're quite stubborn, aren't you? Why don't you build an aircraft carrier then?"
He was rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
"Principal Su, what do you think? Don't you have many acquaintances in the Middle East? Is there any way you can help Commander Yuan clear up his doubts?"
"This dragging on isn't a solution!"
Sulin had absolutely no interest in the Vagri aircraft carrier.
In the world before the transmigration, China's aircraft carrier program did indeed begin with the purchase of the Vager aircraft carrier.
However, I now have all the necessary research and development data on various aircraft carriers, so there's no need to study this kind of secondhand scrap metal.
Even if you study them thoroughly, they're all just outdated technologies.
"My opinion?"
"That's right! We're out of options. This Türkiye is shameless; there's just no way to deal with them!"
Commander Tang also looked helpless; this aircraft carrier was originally purchased through a merchant.
The purchase was just completed, and now no matter what I do, it's all considered an economic dispute.
There's nothing we can do if Türkiye doesn't budge.
"What opinion do I, a businessman, have? It's just a second-hand, scrap metal aircraft carrier anyway."
If it were me, I'd pay the customs duty even if they gave it to me for free; I'd just consider it scrap!
"Damn, Principal Su, it's easy for you to talk when you're not in the situation. We can't even build this kind of second-hand scrap metal aircraft carrier right now!"
Despite the significant increase in the strength of its army and air force, which currently hold a commanding lead in global military power rankings,
The navy is notoriously backward.
Back then, Commander Yuan participated in a US Navy exercise at the invitation of the Americans.
Let alone manufacturing those advanced weapons and equipment, they can't even understand them.
It's humiliating to think about.
"What can't we build with money? Besides, we're not short of money right now!"
The research and development costs of the Dongfeng-21 series alone yielded a profit of 30 billion yuan.
These 20 warheads, each costing $100 million.
The total revenue was over 16 billion, and after deducting costs, it was less than 2 billion.
In addition to this 14 billion yuan, there are also the profits from the three private enterprises under Lanxiang Military Industry.
Su Lin has at least 50 billion yuan in liquid funds in his account.
The research and development costs for the next-generation aircraft carrier have already been covered.
Of course, funding is still quite tight. If we could have the Eastern Military Region and the 3028 Shipyard,
With the cooperation of institutions such as the North China Electronics Research Institute
This saves a significant amount of manpower, material resources, and the costs of research and development land and ports.
They might even be able to develop another frigate.
"With money and technology, Principal Su, are you saying that Lanxiang Military Industry has the capability to develop aircraft carriers?"
Su Lin waved his hand.
"I didn't say that. Don't blame me for all the problems. I won't do research and development that doesn't make money."
I have tens of thousands of engineers under me who need to be paid every day; the pressure is immense.
Commander Tang glanced at Commander Yuan.
He blinked.
He pulled Commander Yuan aside.
"Old Yuan, don't you understand? Principal Su has the ability, so why are we being cowardly?"
Türkiye wants that pile of scrap metal, so we'll give it to them. The maintenance costs for that pile are already over a hundred million a year.
"Buying it would only be a burden; we'd be better off dealing with Su Lin."
"Commander Tang, this is an aircraft carrier. Are you sure Lanxiang Military Industry has the capability to do this?"
The higher-ups have issued a firm order: the first aircraft carrier must be launched within five years.
Otherwise, I won't make it to retirement.
Are fifth-generation fighter jets difficult to develop? Are air defense missiles difficult to develop? Are ballistic missiles difficult to develop?
Do you think it's only difficult for your navy to build an aircraft carrier?
We should have confidence in our own scientists, engineers, and military enterprises.
I'll set the stage for you; you can handle the rest yourself!
Commander Tang returned to his seat.
Fill Su Lin's teacup.
"Principal Su, we definitely need to make this money, but you know how to make money, right?"
It's all about the timeline. If we could independently develop aircraft carriers,
This demonstrates that China's military industrial strength is already at a world-class level.
"Isn't your arms trade in the Middle East and Africa thriving?"
Seeing that Su Lin didn't speak,
Commander Yuan also took the initiative to come closer.
"Yes, aircraft carrier fleet, carrier-based aircraft, long-range firepower suppression, joint sea, land and air operations."
This is the trend of the future, Principal Su, Lanxiang Military Industry must develop in all aspects.
The banner of China's military industry can only be raised by you.
The two of them were singing in unison, and who wouldn't be confused by their banter?
However, Su Linyi remained unmoved.
I'll invest 50 billion to develop an aircraft carrier.
You two just need to use your mouths.
