708 Can China transform Iowa into a guided missile battleship in 50 years?
Last time, Liu Yijiu expressed such thoughts to Mister and the director of the US National Strategic Security Agency Donald Connord.
After returning to the country, the Ministry of Defense, the Strategic Bureau and even the US government have discussed this matter secretly. Although the relationship between Red China and the evil Soviet Union is not very good now, no matter what, China is the regime that ruled the entire country.
To completely eliminate it, we must start from within China.
Liu Yijiu is young enough and has enough ambitions.
During the era of President White, the National Strategic Security Agency began to prepare to overthrow the Soviet Union, starting from politics, economy, military and even culture. After Reagan, the president who publicly advocated the end, these plans started to run faster.
The Soviet Union relied on oil to support their economy, so the United States encouraged Saudi Arabia to launch OPEC and increase oil production on a large scale, causing these black gold to drop prices significantly, causing the Soviet economy to collapse.
At the same time, the Wanta Plan to comprehensively defeat the Soviet Union in terms of economic development has begun to operate, and the Star Wars Plan has begun to start. Under multiple blows, it is definitely not easy for the Soviet Union's economy to compete with the United States, which has far surpassed their economic strength.
If there is no problem, nothing unexpected happens, the Soviet Union will not be able to be overturned in a long time!
By then, the largest red regime in the world will be China, an ancient empire that has been bullied by world powers for hundreds of years.
Any strong fortress is the easiest to break from the inside.
Now Liu Yijiu is ambitious to build his own fleet, and with his special status in China, his ambition will continue to expand. At that time, only NATO countries need to provide logistics support...
Even if you give some nominal verbal support, this young man will help them complete the plan. One〓Looking Book WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW WCW
At the beginning, Liu Yijiu just wanted an Iowa-class battleship, but now he actually wanted two more...
This is definitely a good thing for Mister.
"Director Liu. Will your government agree to such a thing? Will they approve it?" Mister was happy, but asked Liu Yijiu calmly on his face. He was very unfavorable to this transaction.
Liu Yijiu curled his lips, "You don't know what the situation is in China. The old destroyers in the 1950s and 1960s are the main battleships of our navy. At present, the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok is increasing warships, and even stationed an increasingly large number of fleets in Cam Ranh Bay. With their support, the Vietnamese are constantly invading our territorial waters. So far, our South China Sea islands have been occupied by him..."
The Americans are most worried about the situation in the South China Sea, especially the current expansion of the Soviet navy.
In the Asia-Pacific region, Americans did not have an advantage over the Soviets. If they had to, they could quickly send more fleets to the western Pacific. The Soviet Union has always been the idea of the Great Sixth Army. When displaying naval equipment, the priority was to display underwater nuclear submarines with survivability rather than large surface ships.
Hundreds of evil Soviet nuclear submarines spread throughout the world's oceans.
When it comes to the Soviet Union, the Americans began to be nervous. "If the Soviets did not expand their large warships, it would not be a problem. Because our senior management did not attach too much importance to maritime rights, but the Soviets have now begun to launch a plan for the construction of large warships, and even the construction plan for their aircraft carriers has begun..."
The Soviets were building aircraft carriers, and the Americans could not have known it.
Liu Yijiu threw this out, which shocked Mister and others.
They were thinking in their hearts that if the young man's ideas could convince the top Chinese leaders, how terrible it would be. Just read a book w◆w, please w books. ︿1ck, please a book n, read h, read cc
The Soviet naval strategy was obviously wrong.
China's national defense and military were inherited from the Soviet Union, and have always focused on developing the 6th Army and the Air Force. It is also the thought of the 6th Army.
Liu Yijiu is different. This young man is very sensitive to intelligence and even has a very accurate grasp of future developments.
Not to mention anything else, it is just that China has a missile like c8o1 that shocks the whole world. It is a very unacceptable thing. Once China has a longer range and stronger medium- and long-range anti-ship missile and forms mass production, the weakness of the Chinese Navy will be greatly enhanced.
The interests and strategies of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region will be severely challenged.
Fortunately, the Chinese people's economic development is very poor, and there is not enough capital to invest in these expensive and high-cost medium- and long-range missiles.
"What do you mean?" After contacting me, Mister and his group did not have in-depth discussions with Liu Yijiu on cooperation negotiations, but returned directly to the White House.
With a special plane on standby, it only takes a few hours for them to go from New York to Washington.
After hearing the report, Reagan gathered all his staff and asked everyone for their opinions.
Although the Iahua-class battleship has very strong firepower and the main gun caliber reaches 4o6 mm, it has no great potential in modern warfare in the face of missile attacks. In particular, the Soviet Union's first Kirov-class missile cruiser, Admiral Ushakov, has been in service in 80 years. Although there is no detailed information, during this large-scale Soviet military exercise, hundreds of missiles flew out of this warship, which is enough to be shocking.
According to incomplete intelligence analysis, missile cruisers of this level are equipped with various models, anti-ship, air defense, anti-submarine, and ground attacks of more than 500 missiles of different ranges!
This is completely a sea mobile arsenal.
Under the threat of such warships, the entire aircraft carrier formation is barely able to survive.
Battleships are of no use at all.
"I think we can sell the remaining two Iowa-class battleships that have not yet been re-instated to the Chinese. This can prevent them from continuing to develop rapidly in the research of anti-ship missiles. At the same time, even if China gets battleships and fully analyzes the technology, it will not be of much use. Battleships are different from aircraft carriers..." Connor Donald has always advocated selling backward weapons and equipment to China. On the surface, it seems that China's military strength has been greatly improved, but in fact it is not like this. Their own research will be seriously hindered.
Although Mister also agreed with this cooperation, he had been dealing with Liu Yijiu for too long. He knew that Liu Yijiu would not have proposed it just for the purpose of battleships. The biggest possibility was for the manufacturing technology of large warships.
The Chinese cannot even manufacture 5,000 tons of warships.
It's best not to sell it to them.
"Although selling it to them can add hundreds of millions of dollars to our navy's navy, I think it is suspicious that China purchases the Iowa-class battleship we have sealed. What if they were to transform it into missile battleships like the Soviet Kirov-class?" I immediately put forward this.
Two for sale!
If China had two ships, and it would be transformed into missile battleships as sadly as the Soviet Union, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the United States would have to send at least three aircraft carrier fleets to completely suppress China. And with the Iowa-class displacement, how many missiles can be installed on it?
Not to mention a thousand pieces, at least seven hundred pieces or even eight hundred pieces can be installed!
"Does China have so many missiles installed on it? Not to mention anything else, just air defense missiles. Besides Houyi, the individual air defense missile that has just appeared in recent years, what else can it be? At sea, this air defense missile is not very good at all." Connor Donald said with a contempt, "Can the Chinese put their Dongfeng-5 in? How many can they fit?"
If it were the Soviet Union or other NATO allies, the United States really had to think about it carefully.
However, China's solid fuel missile technology is simply not up to standard. China's domestic 2o2 project still uses liquid fuel technology...
Americans are very clear about this.
"In addition, it is better for the Chinese to change such battleships into missile battleships. The entire project is not worth tens of billions, so it is impossible to succeed! Air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship, ground-attack missiles... How can all this be achieved with the strength of the Chinese? Will they succeed in fifty years?" It's not that Connor. Donald looked down on China.
But the foundation in China is really bad.
Since the restoration of diplomatic relations between China and the United States in 1979, the United States and the NATO alliance have been constantly contacting China through the excuse of military cooperation, inquire about intelligence, and evaluate the facts of China.
After in-depth contact, it was revealed that although China's military technology has been greatly developed, it is not as good as the outside world thinks.
The work results of the Paris Embargo Commission are very significant.
If the Chinese really spent fifty years to make these things, or only twenty years, then, these battleships had been built for sixty or seventy years, how many years could they serve?
It is also very good to cheat China.
"Mister, do you have any other opinions?" Reagan asked with a frown when he saw his military adviser Mister still frowning, "Are you worried that Red China would really use these two warships to threaten us after it was converted into missile battleships?"
The firing of liquid missiles is very complicated, and there is basically no possibility of it on warships. (To be continued.)
