"No, General, at the beginning, we had never thought about buying battleships from any country. You should be clear about this. Battleships, which have been proven in World War II, were confirmed to be a huge mobile target. Facing the aircraft carrier battle group, the battleships should be sunk into the abyss under the sea..." Liu Yijiu said seriously.

This has been proven by practice.

Otherwise, the fleets of various countries would not use aircraft carriers as the main warships.

"However, the aircraft carrier battle group is really too expensive. Not to mention that the construction cost of an aircraft carrier battle group exceeds the start of our country's military expenditure for one year, our country cannot afford the annual maintenance costs alone. We must curb the expansion of the Soviet Union in the Asia-Pacific region. China has always pursued a defensive strategy and adopted a near-shore defense strategy in the ocean. Otherwise, we have already started working on ocean warships in recent years..."

That's the truth.

"If you don't develop the navy, it's okay with your strategy, right? As far as we know, the Chinese have very poor shipbuilding skills!" Connor Donald interrupted Liu Yijiu with a sneer.

It’s not that China does not want to have a strong navy, but that China does not have the technology to build the ocean-going warships that the ocean-going fleet says it needs.

The whole world knows that China's industrial level is not good.

"Haha, General Conner, is this really the case? We may have difficulty in building a 10,000-ton warship, but what about 6,000 tons or 7,000 tons? China's 051-class missile destroyer has a displacement of nearly 4,000 tons, and it was designed and built in the early 1970s. In ten years, we really cannot build a larger-tonnage warship? No, it is not that we do not have technology, but that our country is too poor and cannot afford to support it!" Liu Yijiu emphasized to the Americans the fundamental reason for the weakness of the Chinese navy.

No money!

Because the Chinese government has no money, it has to carry out reform and opening up.

"China has a larger population than any country. Most of our country's people cannot even fill their stomachs. The rural life is difficult, so we cannot develop military industry as hard as the Soviets, regardless of the people's food and clothing problems. Of course, if we have the ambitions of the Soviet Union, we will strive to expand. Throughout history, the Chinese have loved peace. As long as the people of the country can fill their stomachs, we will ignore what is happening abroad. Otherwise, if you unite with the Soviet Union to block us for decades, China will either cooperate with you or turn to the Soviet Union..."

Another fact that has to be admitted.

As the director of the Strategic Scam Bureau, it is necessary to base the fooling on facts.

Only in this way can people become more convinced.

Liu Yijiu's words made Mister hesitate a little.

It seems that China really has not been desperately developing in weapons and equipment and has joined the US-Soviet battle for hegemony.

"For the West, because of the different political systems and ideologies, we are natural ally of the Soviets. However, just because we are unwilling to be the 16th republic of the Soviet Union and do not want our sovereignty to be interfered with, we become the enemy of the Soviet Union again. The Soviet Union annexed millions on our borders, threatening us for twenty years... Our government only hopes to develop the economy well, solve the problem of food and clothing for our huge population, and at the same time let the people of the whole country achieve a well-off life... If we talk about military development, I believe that the tanks and various types of missiles exported on the battlefield of Iran have already shown the problems of our military industry. Even the most advanced tanks in the United States do not have much advantage compared to our light tanks. In fact, you must admit it! However, we only have technology, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and a Dragon Guard tank are not equipped, and this is because China is short of money! The Chinese government lacks money!"

Liu Yijiu won't tell the Americans even if he kills him. The Longwei type does not equip China because they are not productive.

After the country's strategy of economic development is launched, it requires a lot of foreign exchange to strengthen its ties with the United States and Western countries and introduce Western technology to enhance domestic industrial strength and technical level.

In this era, there were not many things that could be exported.

Not many industrial products can be exported in China. Local specialties, minerals, handicrafts and other things are not of high value.

Therefore, the squadron's dressing change was put on hold for foreign exchange.

It is just now used to fool the Americans.

Mister and Connor Donald looked at each other, and even the other Americans could not find any refutation to Liu Yijiu's explanation.

China's tanks are not much worse than them, and this seems to have become a fact.

Moreover, the m1a1 tank was improved because of the opinions put forward by the Chinese and their domestic experts' suggestions. The tanks exported to Iraq were to test their battlefield performance and combat strength in actual combat.

This will make an accurate assessment of m1a1 in the hands of the United States.

"Director Liu, can you tell us why your tank can make our m1 tank burn?" If you can get this information from Liu Yijiu, for the Americans, this trip to China will not be at all flawed.

Will the Chinese tell them?

Liu Yijiu's actions told the Americans that the Chinese were generous and selfless.

It's about common development.

"According to our intelligence analysis, many components of your tanks, the load-bearing wheels, chassis, and armor are made of high-strength aluminum alloys. There is no problem with strength, but when it encounters sufficient high temperature, it will naturally melt..." Liu Yijiu had no sense of confidentiality. "Our tank guns can melt your tanks, which is also an accident. It is also a shell made of a material tested in Iran..."

Liu Yijiu's answer was very satisfied with the Americans.

Especially as a technical consultant for the xm1 tank project, Jim was shocked by this young man when he arrived in China last time.

Liu Yijiu now told him why their tanks were easily beaten to the point where they were hit by steel. He wanted to know what material was made of that shell. He also hoped that the Chinese people on the other side could be more selfless and disclosed their technology to the United States...

Liu Yijiu was about to continue talking, but was interrupted by Li Rui beside him: "Director Liu, this involves the military secrets of our country, and the national defense and security of the entire country..."

Li Rui's face was very serious, and his tone to Liu Yijiu was also very cold.

This made the American's eager hope, with the coldness, be destroyed by the coldness.

"Uh..." Liu Yijiu scratched his head awkwardly, and soon changed, "Let's continue to discuss the issue of curbing Soviet expansion in the South China Sea..."

After secretly casting a good-performing look at Li Rui, Liu Yijiu brought the theme back again.

If you tell the other party easily, will Americans be fooled so easily?

After all, China does not have many truly advanced technologies.

These can be regarded as trump cards.

If Americans want to install depleted uranium alloys on it and develop depleted uranium armor-piercing bombs, it still needs a lot of research. To consume more of their research funds is in line with China's national interests.

To test various materials, it is absolutely impossible to do less experiments.

What's more, at the beginning, Liu Yijiu used the cloud explosion bomb as an opportunity to trade with Americans, and it is very likely that American researchers would be introduced to the cloud explosion bomb. The cloud explosion bomb can generate strong high temperatures after the explosion, which can match his description.

But how to merge the cloud explosion bomb and the armor-piercing bomb, it doesn’t matter to Director Liu.

After all, the technology of the United States is far more powerful than that of China. Maybe they can make breakthrough progress in research in this area...

The power of individual cloud explosion bombs is much stronger than that of ordinary high explosion bombs. The Soviets even developed cloud explosion bombs like rocket launchers, which are definitely not bad for attacking armored vehicles.

"Exporting battleships to China is not within our rights. Director Liu, I suggest you don't have too much hope..."

"If I were to form an ocean-going fleet myself!" Liu Yijiu suddenly said. "We do not need the main gun system for this battleship, as long as the secondary guns and air defense weapons are retained. Moreover, this battleship will not belong to the People's Liberation Army Navy, but to our Ninth Academy. The Ministry of National Defense will not pay a penny for this..."

Flies do not bite seamless eggs.

Director Liu, who deeply understands American urinary sex, took the initiative to give them a crack.

I want to build an ocean fleet myself!

This is to tell the Americans that Liu Yijiu, a young man, is very ambitious and his relationship with the Chinese government is not as harmonious as they understand it.

Even, Liu Yijiu, a young man, may be preparing for greater power.

These words made Mister, Connor Donald and others' eyes lit up!

If Liu Yijiu really had such ambitions, he could use him to stab the Chinese government in the back. If it was really not possible, support Liu Yijiu, a young man, to disrupt China's domestic situation and cause chaos in this country that has always liked internal strife...

"It seems that China does not even allow guns to be owned by individuals. How could it be allowed to own a fleet of private or units?" This is the doubt in the hearts of Americans.

Liu Yijiu sneered, "I have personally experienced the war that took place in the South China Sea. The country now has no money, and it is powerless to build an ocean-going fleet! Our Ninth Academy is rich. At present, all the military equipment exported to the outside world are sold, and the money is in our hands... In addition, we have mastered a lot of domestic money-making industries, including materials, rare earth transactions, electric fans, bicycles, motorcycles, etc. In the future, there may be automobiles or other products..."
