"Director Liu, are we really not going to build an aircraft carrier in the next time?" Wu Donghao seemed to be more interested in aircraft carriers.

When the people around him heard this, they all raised their ears.

Liu Yijiu brought back a large number of technicians from the Soviet Black Sea Shipyard, and these personnel were filled into the northern shipyard. Everyone thought that they would build an aircraft carrier next.

The design of the aircraft carrier has also begun a few years ago. The 100,000-ton dock of the Northern Shipyard has been built. According to the requirements, the top has also been built. This is an incredible thing for shipyards around the world and a total waste of funds.

However, the construction of the dock has been completed and the second Iowa-class battleship is about to be launched. When the first ship is under sea trial, the dock will be empty. The subsequent construction plan has no follow-up.

There is no news about whether to continue to build missile battleships or start building China's first independently designed and built aircraft carrier.

The design drawings have been completed, and some equipment has even begun production demonstrations. So far, no construction plans have been issued. Both large docks will be vacant.

A large dock built at such a huge price will never be idle, or used to build a merchant ship!

The Northern Shipyard is a shipyard specializing in the manufacturing of warships. It only manufactures warships and nuclear submarines, and merchant ships are not built here.

Now Liu Yijiu is here, and the answers he gets from him are even more reliable than those obtained from senior military leaders. Who said that the military is now determined to build an aircraft carrier but does not have the funds to build an aircraft carrier? Even if it is built, the high maintenance and use costs will be unbearable by the military.

While the country's economic strength is growing rapidly, the country's military budget has also begun to grow with economic growth. The problem is that the entire military system is too large and all weapons and equipment need to be upgraded. Not to mention catching up with the United States, it is not easy to even reach the level of the Soviet Union.

Although the Soviet Union has so far, the hammer, sickle, and red flags are still flying over the Kremlin, but this place and the surrounding buildings still represent the existence of the Soviet Union.

In fact, the Soviet Union was completely finished in 1992. Russia retained the existence of this powerful institution that once trembled the world for some Soviet rights and in order to get back some of the Soviet Union's technology or resources that were deployed in other franchised republics.

Of course, the Soviet Union represented by the Woodcutter Gorba, their daily work was to go to the Kremlin to have tea and chat, and recall the power of the Red Empire in the past...

Since 1992, Soviet technology has stagnated.

Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's rights and assets, has been solving their economic problems in recent years. Ye Liqin even adopted shock therapy on the entire Russia, making Russia's domestic situation even more chaotic.

Countless Soviet technicians were wandering towards countries around the world. Many of the once powerful Soviet troops became mercenaries and went to Africa to help various warlords fight. This also consumed the huge weapons and equipment with the CCCP logo, and did not wait silently in those corners to rust.

All of this has nothing to do with China.

In addition to obtaining a lot of Soviet technical drawings and some technical personnel, China really did not get much benefit.

It is precisely because of the acquisition of too many technical and technical personnel that China's defense and military scientific and technological strength has completely shown a leap forward in recent years, which has led to the fact that the military's increasing funds have become less and less expensive.

The military naturally has ideas on aircraft carriers, but it is still a very big idea. If the funds are not raised, there is no way. If they want to make the Ninth Academy continue to pay, the people from the Ninth Academy Management Committee do not say anything, and Liu Yijiu even appears, as if they forget that the project was done by the Ninth Academy itself.

"Director Liu, the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier in the UK is about to be launched, and India is also building its own aircraft carrier. Even a small country like Nipdosan on the South China Sea has bought Ukraine's Ulyanovsk... We rely on two missile battleships, which is not enough..." Wu Donghao said resentfully.

As a naval military-industrial technician, who doesn’t want to see China have its own aircraft carrier?

In everyone's eyes, China's next step should be to build an aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier plan in the 1970s was under the policy of making way for economic construction after the reform and opening up. A large number of military projects were dismantled, and the dream of China's aircraft carrier was still in the stage of designing on paper. Since General Chen Shaokuan proposed that the dream of building 20 aircraft carriers was halved due to the civil war, the Chinese dream of the second aircraft carrier was shattered.

Among the five permanent members, China only has no aircraft carrier.

Even India has been planning to maintain three aircraft carriers. Now the Indian Navy has two aircraft carriers and an aircraft carrier that will start construction in unknown time. Nipdosan, a warlord force with only one province in China, is smaller than that of one province in China, has also proposed an aircraft carrier plan and has begun to be implemented. Although their dock construction has not been completed, they have bought Ukraine's Ulyanovsk, which is nuclear power!

China still does not have an aircraft carrier, which makes people feel a little upset.

The military has no money, but can't do it.

The Ninth Courtyard had been ambitiously engaged in a group of people from the Soviet Union before, and the design was almost the same, but there was no construction plan. How could this not make Wu Donghao upset?

After finishing the missile battleship, the aircraft carriers being designed in China will definitely be built in the northern shipyard. The technicians of the Black Sea Shipyard brought back by the Soviet Union were also arranged in the northern shipyard. No matter from any perspective, this is the rhythm of the aircraft carrier.

However, the 100,000-ton dock has been built, and no plans to build an aircraft carrier have been issued.

Now, the first modified missile battleship is about to be tested in sea, and the second transformation has been completed. When the first modified ship leaves, it will be launched into the water and moored at the outfit terminal, and then it will start to be installed. Both large docks have been vacated, and there is still no plan to build an aircraft carrier.

There was even no news.

How could Wu Donghao not be in a hurry?

In order to build China's first aircraft carrier under his own hands, he even refused to be promoted to the capital's Admiralty and Industry Ministry several times.

How could he be willing to do it if he doesn’t engage in an aircraft carrier?

If they could make it happen, or have the huge amount of funds and independent project establishment rights in the Ninth Academy, Wu Donghao would definitely build an aircraft carrier without hesitation.

How can the navy be strong without an aircraft carrier? How can the Republic be protected by millions of square kilometers? Especially the small ponds in the South China Sea.

"Aerocarrier? Let's talk about it first. Besides, building an aircraft carrier is a systematic and complicated matter. An aircraft carrier is not like the battleship in front of you. A battleship can carry out long-distance navigation missions. Even if we build an aircraft carrier, what about the supporting system of the aircraft carrier? What about the aircraft carrier's frigate? We can't let our aircraft carrier rely on a 051-like old ship and the 052, which has no construction plan for the military at present, right? And what about the sea supply ship? Without an aircraft carrier nurse, how far can our aircraft carrier run?" Liu Yijiu shook his head and said.

Wu Donghao wanted to refute Liu Yijiu, but Liu Yijiu did not give him a chance at all. "Even if these are not a problem, do we have the experience of building large warships worth tens of thousands of tons? The aircraft carrier is no better than a battleship. The technology required by that thing is more complex. It is just the special steel for the aircraft carrier deck. Do we have it?"

Building an aircraft carrier requires huge amounts of money.

"Director Liu, that's not what you said before. Didn't you say that after we transformed missile battleships, we had the experience of building large ships? Besides, we can simulate through supercomputers. The aircraft carrier jointly designed by our technicians and Soviet technicians has been completed? We can't throw our design drawings into the archives room and leave them to mold, right?" Wu Donghao didn't give up.

Liu Yijiu said before that the transformation of missile battleships is to prepare for building aircraft carriers.

And it is also said that the first aircraft carrier will be formulated according to the situation, and perhaps a 50,000-ton training will be practiced, and then gradually increase the tonnage.

Now he actually said he had no experience and said he didn't have the conditions.

"Director Liu, our Ninth Hospital really doesn't build an aircraft carrier?" Not only Wu Donghao was unhappy, but even Ai Guoxiu was unhappy.

If they don’t engage in aircraft carriers, aren’t their efforts in vain?

"Yes, we won't build an aircraft carrier? If we don't build an aircraft carrier, will our 09 office have to be disbanded?" He Chengming and the others also asked in surprise. "Didn't we say we have been serving your shipbuilding plan before? If we don't build an aircraft carrier, we will be blamed for the past few years. Director Liu, you can't be so unkind..."

"Well, Director Liu, over the years, we have offended people for the project of the Ninth Hospital. Many times we slapped the tables with leaders of major military factories. Many people are now promoted. If..." Wang Weijian is completely shameless now.

All of this is for the aircraft carrier.

Aircraft carriers, they want aircraft carriers.

The Chinese Navy needs an aircraft carrier!

The Chinese people need aircraft carriers!

China's national defense needs aircraft carriers!

Anyway, there should be aircraft carriers. As a naval power, without aircraft carriers, there will be no foundation for becoming a naval power.
