"Actually, we are not in such a hurry now, we can wait. Anyway, not everyone has to get the project out at any time. 053h3 is exported, we have already taken the money, and we really have to consider the improvement. At least, we have to meet customer requirements. Moreover, the more technology you improve, the higher the price, isn't it?"

Xie Kai still hopes that 701 will help them get 053h3 according to Saudi Arabia’s requirements.

There are more than 150 people on a two-thousand-ton warship, which is really too many.

Although relatively speaking, not that much.

But compared with 054a, which will only appear more than ten years later, there is a little more than a few days ago.

The 054a missile frigate with a full load displacement of 4,200 tons is only 180 people.

"Are you sure you are serious? Even if you cooperate, you must explain how to cooperate and continue to borrow people. It is impossible!" Pan Jingfu, the big shot, disagreed.

He was most in pain when too many people were poached.

Many places require people, various technologies need to be digested, and newcomers need people with rich experience to carry out project research and development.

Some projects studied by people borrowed from Hudong Shipyard have nothing to do with the 052 project. Although they can be used, they have to improve them if they want to use them, right?

Not all technologies can be used directly on warships.

"If you don't lend someone, you can subcontract the project to some relevant teams of 701, and be market-oriented, so that there will be no problem for everyone to cooperate." Xie Kai said.

Of course, people of 701 will not refuse such a proposal.

As long as you don't poach people, everything is easy to say.

"What do you think?" Zheng Yu and Chengdu were a little dissatisfied with Xie Kai's attitude.

Xie Kai looked at Zheng Yucheng, "Uncle Zheng, the small pond in the south is not peaceful. Now what we should do most is to pull 053 there for a walk. If it shows very good combat performance, maybe there will be more orders."

The previous order was an accident.

Saudi Arabia's four orders were also obtained due to accidents.

Who would have thought that a small country like Bahrain could purchase two frigates?

If it weren't for the pressure given by Qatar, would they?

"You mean to seek more 053 orders?" Qi Zhiyuan asked.

"If we really want to build a 4,000-ton frigate, Mr. Wang, with our current technical capabilities and experience, how much time will it take to complete it?" Xie Kai directly asked Wang Hengyuan.

Wang Hengyuan was a little embarrassed to answer.

It is absolutely impossible in the short term.

It’s not that they don’t work hard, but that there are too many areas that need to be broken through and everything needs to be studied.

You can't just use some techniques of 051 and 052, right?

The focus of warships with different positioning is different.

"So, what we need to do now is to use orders to continuously upgrade 053, while improving technology, while accumulating experience. At the same time, we cultivate our own technical team and always think about poaching people from other units. This is undesirable." Xie Kaiyi said, Zheng Yucheng and the others understood.

I just don’t agree with the technical project of launching the 4,000-ton frigate now.

As a goal, there is no problem in slowly researching and developing in this direction.

But for everyone, the project is launched now, not only will the personnel not keep up, but the capital consumption will be very large.

"The Navy can afford to get the most results with the least amount of money," said Xie Kai.

Although there was not much publicity and reports in the small pond on the South China Sea, the tension was not known to the country, and even after the war broke out, there were not many people in the country paying attention.

But internationally, many people are paying attention to the situation there.

The small pond in the South China Sea is a waterway that local merchant ships in East Asia must pass through.

"The situation there is tense, and the ship we have in our hands is leased to the Saudi Navy to help them train their naval forces!" Qi Zhiyuan was a little worried.

Saudi Arabia's navy does not have much experience.

That's why they transferred the warship back because the Vietnamese warships continued to appear there.

I am afraid that if the Saudi naval officer misoperated, fired several shells or fired missiles by mistake, it would be troublesome at that time.

"Because of this, they should be allowed to go. What Saudi Arabia needs is that we help train their navy to be able to prepare for combat, how to carry out maritime operations during combat readiness. In such an environment, their naval officers and soldiers can have more experience." Xie Kai said seriously based on the principle of being responsible for customers.

In the Middle East, although there are not many wars in normal times, Saudi Arabia’s purpose of buying warships is to be a police officer in the Gulf region. Bahrain has two frigates of the same level. If it gets angry with Qatar, Saudi Arabia doesn’t know how to deal with it, how can it be done?

Zheng Yucheng and others did not have much opinion on this matter.

It is a good thing for the entire Hudong Shipyard to be able to sell more frigates.

If there is an order, more funds will continue to be invested in technological improvement and research and development.

In the afternoon of that day, even though no agreement was reached with the 701 person, Xie Kai and Zheng Yucheng also left.

They returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange again.

Saudi military representatives and trainees are all at the naval training base here.

Jevlaro, the Saudi Navy's military representative stationed in China, is responsible for coordinating their demand for warships with China, supervising the progress and quality of China's warship production, and also negotiating with China about various matters of the naval officers and soldiers selected by Saudi Arabia.

"Lieutenant Colonel Jevlaro, I am very happy to see you. Please say hello to King Fahd and Prince Sultan on my behalf..." Xie Kai is not very familiar with this Saudi delegation representative.

I've seen it once before.

That time, Saudi Arabia urged China to go to the waters around Saudi Arabia to help their officers and soldiers get familiar with and train.

"Thank you, I'm very happy to see you. Yesterday I was on the phone with His Highness the Prince, and the Prince also mentioned you. It just so happened that I had something to look for you." Jevlaro attached enough importance and respect to Xie Kai, a young man.

In Saudi Arabia, it is younger than Xie Kai and has many people who have great power.

"I wonder if there is anything that can help Lieutenant Colonel?" Xie Kai asked.

"We need to go to the South China Sea of ​​your country to train..." Lieutenant Colonel Yevrola said seriously, "Either His Highness the Prince or I, I don't want our navy to have no combat capability in the future!"

I'm sleepy and I'm encountering a pillow.

How could Saudis not be afraid of death and want to go to dangerous areas?

There was also a big reason when he came back from mobilization before that Saudi officers and soldiers strongly demanded that they were worried that after the war broke out, the Vietnamese would misunderstand that the training ship was the main ship of the Chinese Navy.

Along the way, Xie Kai thought a lot of words, thinking about how to convince the Saudis.

As a result, the Saudi military representative now said that they should go to a tense place like the South China Sea.

"This is not good, right? Lieutenant Colonel, although this warship is now leased to your country, it is mainly used to train your country's officers and soldiers, but the Chinese flag is hung in the waters of China!" Xie Kai said.

The money, Saudi Arabia has given it anyway.

The warships are still from China.

In China's territorial waters, warships flying the flags of other countries will definitely not agree to sail at will.

Even the ocean and various materials are mastered by Chinese instructors themselves. Teaching Saudi naval officers and soldiers various theories will never allow them to conduct practical operations in Chinese waters.

The purpose of the training is mainly to enable them to master the various operations and performance of warships and become familiar with them.

After all, the entire Saudi Navy trained officers and soldiers are the backbone of the Saudi Navy's future.

"In this training, we can organize officers and soldiers to simulate long-sea support combat training..." Lieutenant Colonel Yevrola said seriously, "In the Middle East, conflicts are prone to occur. Only with rich experience can our navy better maintain the security of the territorial waters and maintain peace and stability in the Middle East..."

For Saudi naval officers and soldiers, every ocean-going sea must be accompanied by a supply ship.

053h2 originally had a small displacement, and there were a lot of staffing. During training, there were a lot of more staff in each position.

This is also a kind of helplessness.

Originally, there were basic training ships for Saudi naval officers and soldiers to train, but the contracts between the two sides were tight, and Saudi Arabia also required that China must independently learn basic operations of warships when the warships were delivered.

In this way, Saudi officers and soldiers can only be rotated to go directly to the ship to practice.

A lot of trouble happened throughout the process.

It is really embarrassing that Saudi Arabia has made such a request now.

Those who train Saudi naval officers and soldiers are all over the top. These guys are not here to join the army at all. They are a little harder or tired, and they are not good enough.

The People's Liberation Army's ocean-going training will not require supply ships to accompany them.

But Saudi Arabia's men who give money are different. The cabins in the warships are narrow, crowded, and the environment is not very good. Therefore, in order to have a better rest, even after training every day, they can even take a hot bath, so China has to dispatch a supply ship to accompany the training ship.

For any country's navy, such things are almost intolerable.

But for the Saudi Navy, this is a must.

Until now, the basic training subjects have not been completed.

"Lieutenant Colonel, it's not that we don't agree, but that your naval officers and soldiers do not obey orders like the PLA officers and soldiers... If they train according to wartime requirements, they can be unbearable for such hardship..." Before Xie Kai could speak, Major Yu Haitao, the Chinese leader who is responsible for providing training to Saudi naval officers and soldiers, said seriously.

Chinese instructors are really troubled by Saudi officers and soldiers.

Even though many Arabic translations were seconded from the Ministry of Commerce, these guys did not execute the orders so meticulously.

"This will not happen again in the future. This time, I will be with them in person!" Lieutenant Colonel Jevrola promised.

He is the leader and learns naval combat command from the Chinese Navy.
