In New Jersey, two huge battleships are sealed in the military port next to the US Navy's Long Beach Shipyard.

During this trip to the United States, Liu Yijiu had no chance to appreciate the customs and customs of the US empire. Even his mother Ye Suwen had no chance to meet him. His current identity made him unable to walk around abroad at will.

Even Ye Suwen didn't know the news of his arrival in the United States.

Otherwise, I will get here and take a look at Liu Yijiu.

Ye Suwen returns to China every year, but because of the confidentiality of Liu Yijiu's work, he is not seen most of the time.

Liu Yijiu was also happy. She had never had contact with her mother. When she was with Ye Suwen, she was often uncomfortable. Even when she returned to Li Rui's house, she had no words with Zheng Ya. Zheng Ya has not yet let go of the last time he rolled the bed sheets with Situ Xue at the Li family.

After the negotiations were completed, Liu Yijiu asked to go to the military port next to the Long Beach Shipyard to see the two battleships. The contract had been signed, with US$140 million per ship. Although the price was a bit expensive, Liu Yijiu also thought it was very worth it.

After taking it back and studying, China has never had the ability to build large warships. Even the O52d ship was only created after 20 years. You should know that the destroyer has a displacement of less than 8,000 tons. If it weren't for the Soviet Union's disintegration, no one could tell when China would have an aircraft carrier.

Spend more money and sell time with money.

Although their current funds are not very sufficient, and the Americans have no credit for arms sales, it is very likely that the Americans will not provide warships after receiving the money, but Liu Yijiu is determined to bring the Iowa-class back this time.

The demolition time is not long. Two months, and at that time, the Americans are responsible for helping China drive warships outside the Chinese waters. ※wwl ￣w◇.※11>

At the same time, China will export 2o C8o1 anti-ship missiles to the United States, each of which is 1.5 million US dollars...

"When will we build such a huge warship in our country!" Li Rui and others said with great emotion when they saw the two steel giant beasts quietly anchored in the military port.

Liu Yijiu felt a pain in his heart.

If it weren't for chance, if Argentina hadn't destroyed the British aircraft carrier USS Invincible in the Battle of the Cabernets, there would have been no such opportunity at all.

The Americans sold warships to China. The clear purpose was to prevent China from continuing to study the anti-ship missile path. Although they knew that this could not be stopped, they did not hesitate to use their already backward garbage warships to enhance the strength of the Chinese navy and allow the Chinese navy to disperse funds on it.

The total amount is nearly 300 million US dollars. Although you can earn back 30 million US dollars from the C8o1 missile, you actually have to spend 250 million US dollars. If China wants this warship to have stronger combat power, the money and energy it will definitely not be small.

This will reduce China's investment in anti-ship missiles a lot.

At the same time, Americans knew that China would not sell anti-ship missile technology, so they purchased ten missiles from China to analyze why China's missiles could destroy the USS Invincible aircraft carrier and the USS Sheffield destroyer. As long as it was analyzed, the vulnerability of the ASUSS system could be found.

Liu Yijiu proposed to visit the Long Beach Shipyard, but the United States simply disagrees. There are many advanced things in it. If the Chinese buy it back, how to transform it is the Chinese's own business. It has nothing to do with the US government.

If you want Americans to provide technology, it is simply impossible!

The Iowa-class battleship is the first-class battleship with the largest displacement in the history of the US Navy. The standard displacement is 445oo tons, the full load displacement is 5571o tons, and the main armor weight is 18466 tons. ※▲ 1※Reading ※w□w1w□.Looking 1_k a total length is 27o.4, the waterline length is 262.1 meters, the maximum width is 33 meters, and the maximum draft is 11 meters. The power system adopts four-axis and double rudders, equipped with 8-seat babcock&i1ghou color steam boiler turbines. The main power is 212,000 horsepower, and the maximum flight is 31 knots.

These most basic parameters have long been deeply imprinted in his mind.

But there is no intuitive impression.

When he stood in front of these two huge warships, he suddenly felt the insignificance of human beings.

He even thought, what would Japan's sunk Yamato look like if it was in front?

The US Navy does not attach great importance to these two warships. It is mainly because with the advancement of technology in modern warfare, the role of fighter jets and aircraft carriers has become more prominent, and battleships have long proved that they are not possible at all. Otherwise, they would not be sold to China.

Especially the Missouri, after the United States killed Japan, the Japanese surrender agreement was signed on this warship.

This is very historically memorable for Americans. If the arms sales agreement was not sold secretly, Americans might not have reacted, but Japan, which paid a large amount of protection fees to the United States every year, would definitely make a fuss.

"What a pity, the main gun on it will be removed. Without the main gun, the combat effectiveness of this war monster will be reduced to less than 20%!" Liu Yijiu shook his head and sighed.

This is the pinnacle of the era of giant ships and cannons.

The reason why the Americans did not pay attention to these two battleships was because the transformation really cost too much money.

Except for the hull, everything on the entire warship will be replaced.

The nine-door 4o6mm main gun has a barrel of 20 meters long, and looks as sharp as the teeth of a beast. Ten double-mounted 127mm 38-caliber secondary guns make the beast look even more ferocious.

"Director Liu, in two months, these two largest battleships in the world will be yours!" Mister said with a smile on his face.

In his eyes, there was no regret or loneliness at all, even though the Japanese on Missouri signed a surrender agreement.

For Americans, they have no history, and national interests are what they need to pursue. Although these two warships may have greatly enhanced the strength of the Chinese Navy, the time, energy and funds invested by the Chinese in the transformation of the main weapons and equipment were not small.

A strong China is in line with the interests of the United States and Western countries, but China is a red regime. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Americans also want to kill China.

"What a pity, although it was once the most powerful, it is now a tiger without teeth!" Liu Yijiu shook his head and sighed. "With China's military-industry level, the combat capability of this battleship cannot be restored within at least ten years!"

"Once combat capability is restored, China's naval manufacturing industry will be greatly improved..." Connor Donald smiled in his heart, but he said with great joy on his face.

Not to mention ten years, even twenty years, China cannot complete it.

The American invited Liu Yijiu to visit the upstairs. Liu Yijiu refused without thinking, because he saw the power of the monster, but in the end he got the tiger without teeth. The gap in his heart was too big. Even the Americans prepared for the dinner here and set off and returned without attending.

This time his purpose of coming to the United States was achieved.

As for anti-ship missiles, he is not afraid that the Americans will develop the technology above 8o1 and the technology of C8o2, which will achieve the improved performance of the am-39 in the 1990s.

The number of C8o1 missiles equipped by the Chinese Navy is actually only 24 in total, which is a data that foreign countries could not imagine.

"There are not two ships in the order? The same is true for the contract. Why do you say there is only one ship?" After Liu Yijiu returned to the country, he reported directly to the senior management.

Although Liu Yijiu is not very supportive of buying Iowa-class battleships, it is better to use it to build a few more O51-class missile destroyers with this money. Or invest in the research of the O52 ship. However, Liu Yijiu's reason is too powerful, and China cannot always have large surface ships!

In particular, the transformation opportunity of such a warship can promote the entire Chinese ship industry.

"Yes, the Americans did not agree to replace the other two ships that had been transformed for us. At the end of World War II, Japan signed a surrender agreement on the Missouri. This historical significance should be taken very seriously for the United States, a country with little history." Liu Yijiu nodded and said, "It can be imagined that when it comes to delivery, the Americans will refuse to deliver the Missouri to us on this reason. Wisconsin has been retired from service after being injured by Vietnamese artillery in the waters of Vietnam and has not been repaired until now..."

"Since that's the case, you still buy it?" Li Yunlong wanted to slap Liu Yijiu away.

It's simply a prodigal son.

That's hundreds of millions of dollars, or US dollars!

How much does it cost to build a navy ship in a year?

"It must be purchased. This warship will be used to learn from all large shipyards in China. They will have a year to study and analyze. In a year, we will start to transform the power system. We will replace it into nuclear power!" Liu Yijiu said firmly.

Liu Yijiu thought about the transformation of the Iowa-class battleship for a long time.

The transformation of this battleship into a missile battleship will definitely be more powerful than the Kirov class.

This will give the Chinese Navy a very powerful learning opportunity, and at the same time it will promote a series of military-industry developments in the naval ship industry (ship design and manufacturing), aerospace industry (supporting missiles), etc. (To be continued.)
