"What a pity. If the Soviet Union was still here, I would probably see huge and fully armed aircraft carriers passing through the straits..."

"I guess I will never be able to see the aircraft carrier here again..."

"It's a pity that this aircraft carrier has become a mess before it has been manufactured..."

The huge aircraft carrier, accompanied by more than a dozen tugboats that were also connected by cables, was slowly passed through the cross-strait bridge that lasted more than 2,000 meters.

The rescue ships kept wandering on both sides to avoid problems.

Fortunately, the storm on the sea is very calm.

Under the gaze of countless people, the shell of this aircraft carrier soon passed through the strait that had been blocked for several years and headed towards the farther ocean...

"I sent a telegram there and came back, and the Varyag passed through the Istanbul Strait safely. These are safe." Zheng Ming told Xie Kai as soon as he received the news.

Xie Kai was not as relaxed as he did, "If the aircraft carrier has its own power, there is no problem. Oceanwide navigation, a range of tens of thousands of kilometers, spanning several oceans, all kinds of extreme bad weather may be encountered..."

The original Varyag was extremely difficult to return to China.

Even when I first entered the Sea of ​​Love, the cable connected to the tug was broken by the strong wind because of the storm. The Varyag was like a wild horse that broke free from reins, rushing around the turbulent sea surface. It was impossible to control it and could no longer be fixed with cables. Finally, it was stranded on the shallows of Evira, Greece...

It was not until the storm calmed down that I began to embark on my journey back to China again.

"At least, I will not be blocked by anyone for various reasons." Zheng Ming also knew? "The bureau chiefs have created a new episode of the program, mainly talking about aircraft carriers. It will be broadcast tonight. You can watch it, it's very interesting."

When he said this, a strange smile appeared on his face.

Many of the main contents of the program are provided by Xie Kai.

As soon as the kelp entangles submarines came out, the bureau became famous.

Of course, it's more of accusation.

But this can't stop the high ratings of the show's program, right?

In addition to occasionally firing a gun, there are still many people who work.

"Minister Zheng, Damao is really preparing to buy the Varyag we have completed the construction? Is there any communication?"

"There is no further news yet, it will take some time to come back anyway." Zheng Ming didn't want to talk about this.

The Navy has no money.

Now the first experimental ship that bears many responsibilities has made the Navy tighten its belt for several years.

"I am worried about the funding issue. It is difficult for the base to advance funds through such a large scale." Xie Kai's face became serious.

These days, the people from Hudong Shipyard have looked for him many times, hoping that Xie Kai could help persuade Xie Jianguo and Sun Yucheng and other leaders of the Minsheng Group to agree that the base would advance the subsequent construction funds of Varyag.

When you sell it later, whether it is a navy purchase or a big cow purchase, you will repay the debt.

Xie Jianguo and others hoped that Xie Kai would not interfere with this project.

In their opinion, major industries are currently expanding rapidly and are about to compete with international leaders in the international market. If the funding preparation is not sufficient, this will lead to great problems.

Especially in the communications industry.

In order to keep it confidential, it is not easy for ZTE and Huawei to avoid the advantages that are not easy to achieve by international communication giants using their strong basic strength to quickly tie. Until now, digital communication mobile phones have begun to be gradually launched.

The 3G communication technology in Huawei's hands is about to be completed, and research on 4G communication technology has also begun.

Chips are also a money-burning industry.

Everything has a greater demand for funds.

What's more, until now, in addition to deducting taxes from the country, profits not only need to support the development of enterprises, but also need to support the development of the entire base...

"This, let's talk about it when the Varyag comes back. I have something to do, so I'll go back first."

Zheng Ming found an excuse and said goodbye and left.

Xie Kai looked at his back and smiled bitterly.

"Since you say you don't care, don't interfere with these things. That's it. You just say that when you encounter something, you have to intervene, and then it will be uncomfortable! Since the navy cannot maintain an aircraft carrier, why must it be built!" Mo Qi walked in.

Looking at the expression on Xie Kai's face, he was very dissatisfied with Zheng Ming's arrival.

"That's not to say that. It's not that the navy can't afford it, but the current national defense strategy determines that the navy's demand for aircraft carriers will not be too large. An aircraft carrier is enough to cope with the current demand... And when the Varyag is transformed, it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet the navy's idea without the support of tens of billions of dollars. They hope to use the transformation of this aircraft carrier to verify the latest domestic aircraft carrier design..."

"Just change the one I'm building now!" Mo Qi was even more dissatisfied.

This has nothing to do with Xie Kai, right?

"Are you stupid? That's the result of our domestic research on aircraft carriers over the years. Why is it so slow? Isn't it just to make this aircraft carrier more advanced? It's specially built for the navy. And the planned service life is more than 40 years! Can you take on various transformations indiscriminately? What if something goes wrong?"

"What are you doing without money?" Mo Qi rolled his eyes.

It was finally easy for the two of them to live a peaceful life, but they didn't want Xie Kai to interfere in those things again.

Every day, Xie Kai is working hard at home to learn about his robots, or she is reading books, and most of the time she is helping with charity matters. No one will let her go on business trips, but there are more charity units sponsored by Mozila.

Such a peaceful little day is really good.

"They wanted to equip the Varyag with nuclear power. The Soviets had such an idea before..." Xie Kai did not explain too much.

It is actually difficult for a woman like Mozzy to understand these technical issues.

The Navy does want to equip aircraft carriers, but everything is based on needs.

The country said that we need to continue to make small money, and the troops need to be patient, so they can endure it.

The key to the problem is that technology must be continuously developed and technological reserves must be ensured.

Only in this way can they start manufacturing directly when they have money and need it.

Hearing Xie Kai say this, Mozzy immediately stopped talking.

"He didn't agree?" The retired Commander Liu looked at Zheng Ming, "Why should I go and talk to him?"

"Chief, this is impossible." Zheng Ming was shocked.

He couldn't understand what the old leader meant.

How many years have the old leader worked hard for the development of domestic aircraft carriers over the years?

It is almost time for the Navy to own the first real aircraft carrier.

Not the kind of light aircraft carrier that can only take-off and land helicopters or vertical/short-range take-off and land fighter jets.

The Navy does not look down on the 707 aircraft carrier at all.

"Nuclear power will definitely be the main development direction in the future. It is not enough to just conduct theoretical research! The country does not need it now, but it still does not have enough funds to support development..."

"This matter cannot be supported by a unit like 404. We really can't afford to pay much money. Our navy has saved up more than ten years of this aircraft carrier we are currently building..." Zheng Ming sighed.

Navy equipment is so expensive.

Especially now, the extensive use of new technologies has made the performance of these aircraft carriers increasingly stronger.

But the more new technology is used, the more expensive it is.

Originally, the naval department thought that the amount required to build a 001 aircraft carrier would be only 70 billion to 8 billion, and the expenses for escort fleets and carrier-based aircraft would not exceed 40 billion.

However, the aircraft carrier has not yet been launched, and the cost of this aircraft carrier has exceeded 20 billion.

This is not the cost of carrier-based aircraft and escort fleets.

The Air Force does not burn money without the Navy.

The Navy's funds were not much, even though the Air Force and the Army were crying for poverty.

The government said that money should be used to build infrastructure, to make small money, and to build aircraft carriers and warships, only more money will be consumed, and no more money will be given.

"I'll ask him what he really thinks then." Commander Liu did not insist anymore.

He went to talk to Xie Kai and could know Xie Kai’s true thoughts.

"He is very smart. He doesn't interfere on the surface, and the entire base is in his control. I don't know who he is doing it for." Zheng Ming was very frustrated when he talked about Xie Kai.

He is good at taking advantage of the situation and is talking about people like Xie Kai.

That night, the new issue of "Military Documentary" was played on time.

The beginning is still the director's standard opening format.

"......... During this period, whether internationally or domestically, the media have reported the news that the aircraft carrier of the San Ge's next door has become a submarine... Today we will talk about the aircraft carrier..."

The bureau chief first started with the launch of the Sange family's aircraft carrier into a submarine.

However, this time, the studio also invited two other experts.

"Everyone knows that building an aircraft carrier requires very strong industrial strength... Many viewers also wrote to me, "How is our aircraft carrier? Today we will analyze how difficult it is to build an aircraft carrier and how much money is required..."

"According to my personal analysis, we do have the ability to build aircraft carriers in China, but at present, there is little possibility of aircraft carrier service in the short term. There are several reasons for this..."

The bureau chief and experts fully analyzed the domestic industrial level and concluded that the domestic aircraft carrier construction capabilities are capable of building aircraft carriers.

However, because of the national defense strategy, the funds needed by the aircraft carrier fleet, the demand for advanced escort fleets, etc., they can't afford it...

"So, the aircraft carrier next door will have such problems when it is launched. Based on our understanding and analysis of the industrial strength next door, their aircraft carriers are expected to be unable to serve in the next ten years..."

"Now, the problem is here. We have the ability to build aircraft carriers and have supporting infrastructure, but the navy cannot afford to support them and cannot be built. The third brother's navy has needs, but it does not have the ability to build them. I personally think that the third brother can learn from the Thai Navy and the Argentine Navy and come to our country to purchase aircraft carriers..."
