"It can't be! Castella, no kidding. And the Chinese just arrived last night, how can they let the Thai military determine their plan in the morning?" said a balding old man in his fifties in disbelief.

"That's it, unless the Thais are stupid!"

"Castella, what's going on? Why did the Thai side choose China to help them build aircraft carriers, the Chinese simply have no experience and technology in aircraft carrier construction!" Lotus, the business director of Bazin Shipyard, looked grim.

Castella looked at the director, took a deep breath, calmed the shock brought to him by the news, and then said eagerly, "According to the information I received from the officials of the Thai Admiralty, the Chinese proposed a similar plan to us, and they provide a 30,000-ton medium-sized aircraft carrier that can carry fixed-wing fighters and helicopters." At the same time, Chinese proposed to supply an entire fleet of aircraft carriers at a very low price......"

The Spaniards in the room, who had not yet looked at the Chinese at first, were shocked.

They're really blindsided.

"Our plan has been leaked? This is impossible! Even if the Chinese want to learn from our practice, they can't do it!" The bald old man at the beginning shook his head in disbelief.

The voice suddenly became louder.

Their solution, that's not something that Chinese shipbuilders can solve now.

Especially modular construction.

"Help me to make a request for Warali Yongchaiyu and their naval commander Naris Onsuwan, and invite them to dinner in the evening. Flortes made a quick decision.

What is the specific reason, you have to ask first, and then you can come up with a solution.

Since Castella was talking about this, it was clear that there was definite news.

The money that was sent to the Thai military before was not given for nothing.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to get the news so quickly.

"The order must be taken back, without business, our shipyard will even go bankrupt!" the bald old man looked anxiously at the business director.

As the executive vice president of Bazin's shipyard, Trinidad was really worried at this point.

They never expected that the Chinese would suddenly come out.

Once they lost the order from Thailand, their next step became troublesome.

According to the plan of the Bazin shipyard, after winning the aircraft carrier order from Thailand, they are also ready to help the Chinese Navy build aircraft carriers.

Who knew that the Chinese came out of nowhere to grab their aircraft carrier orders for the Thai Navy?

If they really lose it, it will be impossible for China to become their customer at that time.

"Trinidad, we need to understand the situation first. Flortes nodded.

Everyone knows how much of a disaster it is for their shipyard to lose the order of the Thai Navy.

Neither Chawalit Yongchaiyu nor the naval commander Naris Onsuwan postponed the invitation of the Spani.

"General, I heard that the Chinese also came to bid and want to undertake the aircraft carrier project of your navy?" Without much greeting, Flotes opened his mouth to ask the two generals on the Thai side who had a lot of say in this matter.

One is from the Ministry of Defense and the other is the commander of the Navy.

They don't talk anymore, who else does?

Looking at the Spaniard, Chavali gave Naris's a look and asked him to answer.

In any case, they accepted the invitation not to eat, but to force the Spaniards to give lower terms, as a way to force the Chinese to make concessions.

Naris looked at the Spaniard and sighed, "Two, it's true, the conditions proposed by the Chinese shipyards are very attractive to us, they provide not only aircraft carriers, but also carrier-based aircraft and escort fleet ......"

"We can do the same. General, Chinese have no experience in aircraft carrier construction at all...... As the largest state-owned shipyard in Spain, the Bazin shipyard has a centuries-old shipbuilding history and has built three aircraft carriers for our Royal Spanish Navy...... "Flores said seriously.

The meaning is obvious, the Chinese are nonsense, they don't even know how aircraft carriers are made.

The aircraft carrier Prince of Asturias has completed all sea trials and is about to enter service with the Spanish Navy.

You know, this aircraft carrier is already the third aircraft carrier in Spain.

What about the Chinese?

Where are their carriers?

"Indeed, your advantages in this area are incomparable to those of Chinese shipbuilders. Even Chawari Yongchaiyu nodded and admitted, "If it weren't for the fact that we were worried that they didn't have the experience to build and couldn't provide the aircraft carriers we needed on time, we would have even directly chosen Chinese shipyards." ”

Hearing that they had not been completely impressed by the Chinese, they still had a chance, and both Flortes and Trinidad were relieved.

The two exchanged glances, Trinidad looked at the two Thai military executives, and said solemnly: "General, I don't know what conditions Chinese offer......ed?

"It's a trade secret, isn't it?" said Chawalit Yongchaiyu, frowning.

It's a bit of a bad job.

After all, they are looking to shipyards around the world for solutions.

However, large shipyards in the United States and Europe have little interest in their small aircraft carriers.

Even the British Rosyth shipyard, which can also build only small and medium-sized aircraft carriers, as well as the French shipbuilding bureau, have little interest in their aircraft carriers.

Nima!

The Spaniards wanted to pinch these two bastards to death.

Trade secrets?

Not quite suitable?

If this is the case, how can the Chinese possibly know the specifics of their project plan?

The Chinese should have such capabilities, as for now there is not even an aircraft carrier!

"General, in fact, this is not a trade secret. What's more, your navy's project this time is not a bidding method. Flotes said calmly.

Even, he already suspected that the other party was deliberate.

It is all about getting greater benefits from the Bazin shipyard, driving down prices or getting more technical support.

"They provide aircraft carrier projects with a standard displacement of 27,000 tons, a full load displacement of 33,000 tons, and a skid jump take-off mode...... It wasn't the solution that struck us, but the payment method and other services they proposed...... "Naris, explaining Chinese's proposal.

As soon as they heard this, the Spaniards were even more furious!

These damn Thais are trying to use Chinese shipyards to drive down their prices.

Can't Spain build a 33,000-ton aircraft carrier?

The point is that you have to be able to afford the money.

The one who picks the door is going to die, and he especially wants to lower the price.

"General, we can also provide such an aircraft carrier construction plan, and with our previous method, the entire aircraft carrier will not cost more than 500 million US dollars. Flotes' tone was a little cold.

"No, it's not about the cost. Rather, the payment plan proposed by the Chinese is to pay in installments, they first pay for the construction costs, and then we pay a sum of money every year. Although we have to bear a portion of the interest, the entire fleet Chinese offers is paid in this way......"

!

The Spaniards almost cursed.

Not to scold the Thais, but to scold the damned Chinese.

Regardless of the rules of the game.

Don't the Chinese need to pay interest to the bank on the money they don't advance for the construction of warships?

The Thai military is poor, so they proposed to make a beggar's version, a so-called light aircraft carrier with aircraft carrier functions, and now offer $400 million.

They did not expect that the Chinese would be so faceless.

"Advance the funds of the entire fleet? Do the Chinese have the money to pay in advance? The interest rate on their domestic loans is more than 15%!" When Lotus and Trinidad brought the news back, the faces of the others were clouded.

If so, they simply wouldn't have won the project.

The Bazin shipyard simply could not afford such a payment method.

Shipyards in any country, when they build warships, they are financed by customers before they are built.

"We can't use such a plan! Not to mention a fleet, even a capital advance for an aircraft carrier, will bankrupt us!" Castella said, shaking her head.

The Bazin shipyard is now almost always in the red.

The aircraft carrier built for the Navy has not been in service for 6 years from its launch in 82 to now, and the already small profits have been consumed by a long period of commissioning.

is counting on getting orders for aircraft carriers to make profits.

Now it's good, the Thai Navy still asks for construction funds in advance, installment payment, they think it's to buy a house?

"Could it be that the Thai military deliberately used this method to force us? The Chinese simply don't have the money to pay in advance, especially the entire fleet." According to the Chinese aircraft carrier manufacturing plan, the entire fleet will have to pay at least more than one billion dollars...... It is impossible for the Thai Navy to pay only a small amount every year, or even to bear the bank interest!"

In any case, it is impossible for them to help the Thai Navy build aircraft carriers according to such a plan.

"These damn bastards! We have to find a way to stop them. Trinidad said angrily, "These damn Chinese are completely shit-stirring sticks! They may not have the ability to build aircraft carriers at all, but use this way to prevent us from getting orders!"

Others were equally angry, but there was nothing they could do to stop the Chinese from stealing their orders.

I can't even think of a way.

"Or kill them!" someone suggested.

"It's useless, unless you take out their entire shipyard. Flortes shook his head.

Such a plan is definitely not something that these few people who come to Thailand can decide.

"The Spaniards are angry?" Looking at Wang Hao, Xie Kai thought that he had something important to come to him so late.

The results told him that the Spaniards were furious.

What about anger?

They can't change that.

Who asked Xie Kai to know the details of their plan, and at the same time, in a short period of time, 404 is not short of funds at all?

In addition, the Spaniards could not afford the consequences of the Thai Navy not being wanted by their advances, and they could not afford the high interest rates generated by large sums of money.

Xie Kai's plan is very simple, once the Thai Navy does not want aircraft carriers, it will be directly used by the Navy.

The 33,000-ton aircraft carrier, although its combat capability is not good, is completely sufficient to act as a training ship.
