"Their requirements are indeed difficult to meet." Wang Hengyuan said with a wry smile, "I guess there will be no buyers in the world to make such requests. Warships are not mainly engaged in combat performance, but provide naval officers and soldiers with a more comfortable living environment."

For current Chinese designers, these requirements of the Saudi military are simply incomprehensible.

It is impossible for any country's army to make such a request.

Warships are used for national defense and can be devoted to war at any time. Officers and soldiers should always be in a state of intense training and combat readiness on warships. How effective can officers and soldiers who are too good to enjoy?

"Customers are God. Anyway, they give money, so they can improve according to their requirements." Xie Kai felt that Wang Hengyuan and his mind should have changed. Even the US imperialists could not refuse the requirements of Saudi Arabia. Why should Chinese warship designers refuse? "Don't say that they just want to increase the living area of ​​officers and soldiers and provide a comfortable living environment. Even if they want to turn warships into armed yachts, we must change it! Don't consider saving fuel and improving cruise self-sustaining time; don't consider combat performance..."

"Don't consider combat performance? If it is sunk by a small gunboat, isn't this a smashing sign?" Zheng Yucheng was unhappy.

The domestic navy is eager to have higher combat capabilities, and the environment is tolerated.

Don’t you know the pipe damage among the naval officers and soldiers and the technicians in the engine room, who are shirtless in the middle of winter, and they still have a lot of sweat?

"That's right, this will ruin our signature. Who dares to buy our warships in the future?" This is what Qi Zhiyuan dislikes the most.

The Saudi military does not seem to buy equipment for national defense.

It's no wonder that the Arab League's strong strength was beaten by the Israeli army.

"Do you think they can use the aircraft carrier just by giving Saudi Arabia?" Xie Kai asked everyone.

The US m1, known as the world's most powerful tank, was eventually defeated and captured by a group of guerrillas in the hands of the Saudi army. Who would believe such a thing if it were the army of other countries?

It’s not that the Saudi soldiers don’t want to work hard, but that the benefits given by the state are so good. Who would be so stupid that they would die because of their bravery in war?

It’s better to live without a single life than to die, let alone live well?

"Saudi Arabia has good economic conditions, and people in their country do not want to fight. If they were not forced to do so, no one would want to fight. Otherwise, with their huge land area and the best economic environment in the entire Middle East, would Sha Damu be the first in the Middle East? It turned out that Egypt was the most powerful in the Arab world, but was beaten by Israel because of its poor economy..." Xie Kai was also very desperate.

He didn't know what the relevant American personnel were feeling when Saudi Arabia purchased the m1 tank.

No one knew the internal situation of the tanks equipped by Saudi Arabia at the beginning. It was not until the guerrillas were captured later and made public to the world. The whole world knew that these tanks used for combat not only contained air conditioners, but also small car refrigerators and coffee machines!

If the Saudi government had not strictly banned alcohol, they might have carried wine racks in their tanks, and they would have opened the tanks and tasted wine at the same time. What a great thing.

It’s not that the Saudi government doesn’t know its power, but that the Saudi nobles feel that it’s not too much to risk their lives in order to maintain their stable lives.

"So, we cannot expect them to maximize their performance, even if they are poorly equipped, just like the army in our country..." Xie Kai's words were not a joke.

The People's Liberation Army has come from the Red Army era, and there is no need to mention the hardships along the way, and everyone knows it.

If we were going to fight at that time, it would be a very good thing to fire five bullets to soldiers at a time. After all, there are no guns or cannons, so the enemy will come forward.

So, at that time, the Red Army's marksmanship was generally very good.

Even if there are no bullets for them to practice target shooting, bricks hanging at the muzzle to practice aiming, these are early training courses for foreign snipers, and Red Army soldiers were given basic training subjects to be used as all soldiers.

Where can an army like Saudi Arabia live such a hard life?

"Is there a plan now?" Xie Kai asked.

Wang Hengyuan and others shook their heads and said there was no plan.

It was originally just a frigate of about 2,000 tons, and it also required hundreds of people to operate. Without increasing space, the number of operators could only be reduced.

To reduce operators, either cancel some weapon systems or add more automated weapons and equipment.

None of these options is currently available.

What's more, in order to increase the sale price, Xie Kai not only moved the missile with a range of more than 200 kilometers, such as Dihongqi, but also installed the Feidun-359.

The weapon system has been added a lot, and personnel must also be added in terms of operation.

Weapon automation?

This is a research topic, but it cannot be used directly now.

The frigates on the platform will be placed in the water and enter the outfitting process. It is difficult to have a greater degree of automation at this stage.

What's more, there is still about half a year to deliver...

"If more automated transformations are carried out, there will definitely be too late in time. If you cannot automate the transformations, you can only cancel some weapons and equipment." Xie Kai frowned and said, "Has this difficulty responded to them?"

Saudi Arabia's demands are too embarrassing.

"They also know that the Saudi military said it could extend the delivery period, which means to carry out automation improvements." Qi Zhiyuan said.

When Xie Kai thought about it, this was consistent with common sense. The situation in the Middle East was not that tense.

Especially now that the Persians and Iraqis no longer attack tankers, the demand for warships is not so urgent.

If Xie Kai had not requested to pay the payment first, the Saudi government might have cancelled the order for these four frigates.

"Do their military representative agree to this?"

"It was proposed by the military representative on behalf of the Saudi Bureau that during the training of their naval trainees, they always complained that the environment of our 053h2 was too harsh. Many officers even refused to board the ship after several voyages, so Saudi Arabia put forward such improvement requirements." Qi Zhiyuan said.

"It's almost March, and the delivery period is not long. If Saudi Arabia proposes to postpone delivery, we can make some changes. Even if the automation performance is improved, it will not be able to reduce too many operators." Wang Hengyuan shook his head and said.

Air defense and ground-to-ground weapons have been added, which has correspondingly added radar and guidance systems. In terms of operation, manpower is needed.

Even the United States has not reached the level where radar automatically captures targets and automatically selects targets for attack.

The ground-to-air missile and air-to-air firepower systems are integrated on such small tonnage warships, and the electronic system is undoubtedly huge.

Xie Kai didn't expect this to happen either.

The problem of electromagnetic compatibility has been solved after finally solving it, and now it has to continue to improve due to Saudi Arabia's requirements.

"Saudi Arabia does not agree to reduce the weapon configuration." Before Xie Kai could speak, Qi Zhiyuan blocked his words without saying anything.

In desperation, the group had to return to the technical design room.

Here, there are detailed models, which can clearly see the appearance of the full-form warship after the entire outfit is completed.

According to the original improved design, an anti-submarine helicopter deck was installed at the tail; and the original two air-defense guns in front and rear also became naval gun systems that were not completely integrated. The gun seats of each dual-mounted 37mm caliber Type 76 cannon were raised, and a group of 2x2 small air-defense missile launchers were arranged on both sides. There was also an unfolded flying radar antenna on the top of the cannon.

This way, the entire deck becomes a little crowded.

"The machine cannon has been changed to a command room to operate, and the Feidun-359 also needs someone to operate..." Seeing that Xie Kai was stunning, Wang Hengyuan introduced it.

"Can this radar be cancelled? Isn't there an air defense radar on the warship?" Xie Kai was speechless.

Originally, this is what it said can solve the problem.

But now it seems that the radar is above the machine gun. In order for the vibration generated when the machine gun is fired, it does not affect the radar's accuracy. In fact, a single bracket is added behind the machine gun, which is still a distance from the barrel.

This makes it even more bloated.

"I wanted to cancel it at the beginning, but during the simulation test, I found that although the detection radar on the warship was farther away, it could not make the air defense missiles react faster. It would take a long time to integrate them together."

The delivery period was too short.

The details in many places have not been carefully considered.

"Now if you have time, just change it."

"Balim did not agree to delay the delivery period." Qi Zhiyuan reminded Xie Kai.

Xie Kai was speechless. These people now have the same kind of thinking of being afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back.

I obviously want to improve, but I am worried about this and that.

It is much easier to board the Flying Shield-359 than the Haihongqi-61. As a result, the Haihongqi-61 was boarded and found that it was too large and occupied too much space. At present, the Navy is considering adding the French Sea Rattlesnake.

The entire Feidun-359 is a complete system. In terms of operation, it is required to load on a warship and four launchers, and two operators are required to increase maintenance operators...

The ground-red flag missile needs the same more.

These actual situations are in front of you and it is not easy to solve them.

"Only when the deck area is larger can it be easier to arrange..." Wang Hengyuan once again proposed the idea of ​​increasing the tonnage of frigate.

At this time, not only Xie Kai, but also Zheng Yu, but also Chengdu felt that it was impossible to refute.

Who told them to start by just selling at a high price, and all kinds of weapons were stuffed upwards!
