1239 Insufficient naval combat power? Make up for it with our fighter jets
"Thank you, you're finally here!" When Xie Kai followed into the airport terminal, he found that there was another world inside.
The terminal that looks simple outside is not simple at all, and the underground space is much larger than the terminals you see outside.
Even the main part of the entire terminal should be the underground part. Even if someone was not taken to visit this base, Xie Kai could infer the scenes he saw along the way.
When Xie Kai arrived, in the luxurious restaurant where Prince Sultan was, a rich breakfast was already set on the dining table - a roasted camel.
Xie Kai really wanted to ask His Highness the Prince, is it really good to eat breakfast so greasy?
He had dealt with Arabs more often, and he knew the eating habits here, but he had to go roast camels early in the morning, and it seemed that only two of them were enjoying it, which was really a waste.
"Your Highness, I really didn't expect you to come here." Xie Kai was not polite and sat down directly. Although he was indeed hungry, he did not act directly, but asked Prince Sultan why he came to find him secretly. "Shouldn't your Highness be in the capital at this time?"
"I came to see you specifically and talk about our navy issues..." Prince Sultan looked at Xie Kai and said calmly.
Xie Kai is worried about this. The combat effectiveness of the Saudi Navy is too difficult to accept. The team of Chinese instructors in charge of training refuses to issue graduation certificates to the Saudi Navy trained in China!
"Your Highness, your country's navy has completed the training subjects agreed in our contract, and the training time has also ended..." Although Xie Kai was unwilling to admit that China's training for the Saudi Navy had almost failed, he had to raise it in such a situation.
When the Saudi Navy's officers and soldiers go to sea for training, they will take passenger ships to rest as long as they take a little longer. The naval commanders are all there, and even if the Chinese instructor group has any objections, there is no way.
If you are not your own domestic officers and soldiers, you will not abide by discipline at all.
In order to sell these four 053h3, the price was still high, and when signing the training contract, Xie Kai did not think too much. The Chinese people did not know that the Saudi army needed various good environments to train and that the training could not be too hard.
Prince Sultan was a little embarrassed, and this was the one I talked to Xie Kai about.
"Thank you, it's not your fault. I have criticized Rafata and ordered them to train the troops according to the requirements of your instructors and strictly abide by discipline. The time agreed in the contract has come. It is not that your training is not in place, but that our problem has caused such a result..." Prince Sultan admitted their mistakes.
During the training and graduation exercises in China, the Saudi Navy was embarrassed to the international community.
For such a big thing, Lafata made a detailed report. With two Qatar warships that received the same training at the same time, they couldn't even blame China for it.
Although the combat effectiveness of the People's Liberation Army Navy is not very advanced because the warships are not advanced enough, they can reach the limit of the performance of the warships they now have. The Bahrain Navy is not as good as a teacher, and at least they have become qualified navy.
"Your Highness, I'm very sorry, we are really powerless." Xie Kai shook his head and refused Sultan's proposal to let China continue training until the Saudi Navy passes the qualification.
These old men are not like the army at all.
"We can increase the training fund, and they will suffer as much as your country's army in the future and abide by discipline." His Highness the Prince sincerely hopes that their navy can have strong combat effectiveness. "Thank you, at their level, it is a problem to deal with armed speedboats. Unless we have more anti-ship missiles. And the 053h3 frigate can be equipped with too few anti-ship missiles..."
Xie Kai almost scolded him.
The old man in front of him seemed to think that there was nothing wrong with using anti-ship missiles to attack speedboats. He disliked that the number of anti-ship missiles on 053h3 was too small, which affected his combat effectiveness.
mmmp, why not just help them design a frigate that only needs to launch anti-ship missiles?
"Your Highness, it's not that we don't want to. The Bahrain Navy, which started training at the same time as your country's navy, has completed the training subjects and has met the results required by the training outline. As long as we continue to train later, our level will continue to improve..." Xie Kai did not want the Saudi Navy to continue to stay in the country anyway.
The training was over, and they were still reluctant to leave.
If I don’t train carefully in my daily life and have poor grades in the end, who can I blame?
Just like when I go to college, I don’t study hard, and when I get the final exam, I fail every class and the teacher’s warning is useless. Then when I graduate, I fail too many subjects and can’t get my graduation certificate, so I can’t leave.
Of course, you can take the make-up exam after failing the subject in a university and take the retake.
If it weren't for the Saudi Navy's demands too many, Xie Kai would not have refused to continue training the Saudi Navy.
It was the first time for Xie Kai.
He knew that if the Saudi Navy did not change its current situation, the training would be the same.
"Thank you, we bought the warship, but our naval officers and soldiers did not fully grasp it. You are irresponsible! International equipment transactions are all provided for training until the customers master it..." His Royal Highness's face looked a little bad, and his tone became harsh.
Xie Kai didn't care about this and slowly ate the roasted camel meat on the plate in front of him.
"Add $10 million in training and another one year of training..."
Xie Kai shook his head.
Ten million dollars is much more. Although 404 is short of money, 404 can no longer care about such 10 million dollars.
The key is that this ten million US dollars is too difficult to earn, and it cannot be obtained by Chinese instructors. Saudi Arabia will definitely indicate various restrictions on the agreement.
"Add 10 million US dollars per item!" The prince has dealt with the young man in front of him more often, and he knows where the other party's weakness is.
Isn't it just for money?
As long as they are satisfied, they will definitely not be given less money.
Saudi Arabia does not produce US dollars, but Saudi oil is more effective than the US dollar in the current international situation.
Sure enough, Prince Sultan saw Xie Kai stop feeding food into his mouth, looked at him with a smile on his face, "Thank you, I know our officers and soldiers are very embarrassed. According to international practice, naval officers are all nobles... Because there are too many royal members, it is difficult to manage..."
Hearing this, Xie Kai almost spit out his old blood. This idea is so weird!
His Highness rolled his eyes at the prince with a kind smile, "Your Highness, China has no nobles eighty years ago, and the navy of New China has only been established forty years now..."
His words are obvious, our navy, no nobles!
Except for the equipment being a little behind, the combat effectiveness will not be bad.
"I know! I know!" The prince was speechless. Why did the boy in front of him change this time? He didn't even want money.
"Your Highness, I am very sorry. From the perspective of our unit and individuals, I am very willing to accept the contract for continuing training. But our Navy is unwilling. The Saudi Navy has been training on our side for the past two years, which has made our Navy a little difficult to manage." Xie Kai looked apologetic.
The Saudi Navy takes a cruise ship when he goes out, which seriously drags down the marching speed of the entire fleet, and many training outlines cannot be completed within the prescribed time.
When the contract was signed, it was stipulated that Chinese naval warships were carried with the Saudi navy to train together, which ultimately affected the normal training of the Chinese navy with these Saudi navy warships.
Just like playing a game, a king brought a bunch of bronze from soft sister coins to fight a group. In the end, the bronze did not become the king, but the king fell to the level of bronze.
How to make!
Originally, the Chinese navy was poor, and these gold coins players smashed gold coins randomly in front of the poor master, but there was no effect. In the end, the master was injured and the training business could not continue.
"Is there no way?" Prince Sultan frowned and looked at Xie Kai, "I know it is indeed a problem for our naval officers and soldiers. But their combat capabilities cannot maintain the security of our maritime borders."
Although it has four frigates and two conventional submarines, it is definitely the largest and most advanced navy in the entire Middle East.
The problem is, there is no combat power.
Maybe they will be fucked by the Persian armed speedboat.
"Your Highness, there are solutions. And to solve such problems, you must do it in your country..." Xie Kai's eyes turned and began to express his thoughts. "Training in your country's waters can make the naval fleet familiar with the sea conditions and other environments in the mission area faster; on the other hand, you and other senior defense officials can visit the fleet frequently to solve problems that we cannot solve during the training process."
"But what about the instructor?" The prince felt that Xie Kai's words were reasonable.
In the Saudi royal family, many families have oil fields. Almost all those who can enter the navy to become officers are ranked among the top heirs in each family.
They who are rich don’t care too much about discipline or anything else.
Lafata had no choice. Those who rented supply ships and purchased supply ships from China were paid by the Saudi government; while those officers rented passenger ships were paid by themselves in order to have a better life.
"We can select an excellent team of instructors." Xie Kai said calmly, "In addition, there is another way to improve your naval combat capabilities, which is to cooperate with the air force and the navy..."
"The Air Force and the Navy cooperate to fight?" The prince frowned and looked at Xie Kai.
I don't know what Xie Kai wants to say.
Saudi Arabia has no shortage of advanced fighter jets, and many of the coastal defenses are handled by their air force.
"Yes, our newly developed fighter jet was originally intended to be provided to our naval aviation forces for use. There are some technologies on it, which are specifically targeted at naval combat..." Xie Kai was completely premeditated.
With his mouth moving, the Super-7a became a fighter aircraft specially developed for the Navy Aviation Army to perform coastal defense missions.
Prince Sultan looked at Xie Kai in amazement, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
Chapter completed!
