Chapter 884: To build an aircraft carrier, you have to queue up
readx;
"President Qusay, what you are about to see is that we in the Soviet Union, and the largest shipyard in all of Europe, the only shipyard capable of building heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info{{}}," Gorshkov said.
"I'm very honored." Qusay also said that it is also very shocking to be able to come here and feel the momentum of that kind of person who will win the sky.
As he spoke, under the helicopter, the silhouette of the huge ship on the slipway was already visible.
Now, next to the ship, there are countless scaffolding, but it can already be seen that the large deck is full of the whole body, the upturned leaping deck in front, and the huge ship island on the side.
The later Kuznetsov aircraft carrier has now taken on a preliminary appearance.
The helicopter landed on one of the take-off and landing platforms of the shipyard, where employees of the shipyard were already waiting.
As an important shipyard of the Soviet Union, several Kiev-class heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers were built, and the Black Sea shipyard was often visited by high-level visitors, and Gorshkov was a frequent visitor here, but Gorshkov was still happy to see that the warship that went straight to the deck had taken shape. {{}}
"Welcome the commander to the shipyard to inspect." Makarov said, and then he saw the young man disembarking from the helicopter.
The identity of the secret delegation that came this time has already been revealed.
Although Makarov devoted himself to the shipyard, and although his work experience was in heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, it did not mean that he did not care about world events, and he had to spare half an hour every day to read various newspapers.
It turned out that such large warships were ordered from the Great Soviets. It's a guest from the Middle East.
Makarov is politically insulated, what kind of contract exactly the parties reached. It was only then that the Soviet Union agreed to sell such a large warship to Iraq, which he should not have asked. He just needs to introduce the specific situation of the shipyard to the other party.
This was the first time Qusay had seen the old man, and now, Makarov was fifty years old, and in the Soviet Union, it was his golden age, his whole body. {{}}.. Makarov, who exudes high spirits and has built ships all his life, can build the most powerful warships of the Soviet Navy, which is an unsurpassed honor.
And the Hereafter. When the dust of Varyag's fate fell, the old man finally died of depression. Such a chief engineer, who is full of rich experience in shipbuilding, is a talent that Iraq is relatively lacking, so from the first time he saw this old man, he made up his mind to finally invite him back to Iraq.
This is also the first time Makarov met Qusay, the man who rose to prominence in the Middle East, which made Makarov also very curious, in the Soviet Union. If you are not fifty years old, you can't enter the core of zhongyāng, and now this Middle Eastern man who is just twenty years old has become the object of the world's attention, the god of war in the Middle East, who looks at good things, can order this kind of warship from the Soviet Union, looking at all the countries connected with the Soviet Union, I am afraid that he is the only one who has this kind of courage. I have this ability.
"This is our friend, a friend from the Middle East." Gorbachev introduced.
"Welcome, Mr. Abdullah, you are too young to imagine. {{}}," Makarov said.
Because it was a secret visit, Makarov did not call him president, but directly called Mr. Abdullah, which not only showed that he knew Qusay's identity completely, but also skillfully avoided embarrassment, which immediately won Qusay's favor.
"I am very happy to be here this time to observe, this is a great country, and this is the most vibrant and energetic place in this great country." Qusay said.
Hearing him say this, everyone was very happy, and after the entourage disembarked, they began to inspect the main slipway of the shipyard, led by Makarov.
In fact, what Kusai said also has a deep meaning, and it is precisely because of this that Makarov is even happier after hearing it.
The current Soviet Union has shown a great decline, no one in the factories goes to work normally, the crops in the fields are unmanaged, passive sabotage happens everywhere, spending half a day queuing to buy bread, and the level of productivity in society is very low, which is already a common phenomenon.
The USSR has always been short of food, is there not enough arable land in the USSR? In the big eastern countries, the granaries of the three eastern provinces can feed half the country's population. The usable arable land area of North Korea is about the same as that of the North Okura, but the people are in a state of semi-starvation.
The main thing is the problem of the system, which leads to the phenomenon of passive sabotage, so Qusay did not think about helping the Soviet Union avoid the doom of disintegration, he can only postpone it, but cannot avoid it, this is the essential system problem, just like a terminally ill old man, even if there is a natural Ganoderma lucidum, it is only to help live a few more days.
However, this kind of passive sabotage will never occur at the Black Sea Shipyard, and Makarov is a very strict person, but he treats his work extremely strictly, and will never allow any omission. He is well aware of all aspects of shipbuilding, not only strict requirements for workers, but also those leading cadres. He will never allow some unskilled leaders to be responsible for leading the work, and even those cadres who are accustomed to reading from the book and do not want to make progress will be kicked out by him. Therefore, the fact that the Black Sea Shipyard was able to build aircraft carriers so quickly and efficiently is inseparable from Makarov's rigorous style, which is loyalty to the country.
"We have here, the largest slipway 0, and now we are building the first ship of our 11435 project, and the second ship has been welded on the open space next to it, and after a few months, after the first ship is launched, the second ship can come to power. Makarov said: "In this way, we can guarantee the Navy a large aircraft-carrying cruiser every three years." Every three years, one is built, one is manufactured on the slipway, and one is outfitted off the slipway, and the whole process is a streamlined operation. Makarov said as he explained with gestures to the people around him.
These are not specific secrets, they have long been spread abroad, as long as the specific data is not disclosed, these statements are not possible to leak any secrets.
If you want to develop into a big country that can build aircraft carriers, it is definitely not an overnight attack, thinking of the shipyards in Iraq, it is already relatively huge, when the missile boat was launched, there was also a grand ceremony, but now, seeing the heavy aircraft cruiser Breonev on the slipway here, and then looking at your own country, it is obviously pediatrics, to build such a warship, you need to cooperate with multiple domestic industrial sectors to provide various components, the shipyard is actually just an assembly plant, but, just assembly, It also requires a lot of personnel, just welding workers, I'm afraid there are thousands, looking at those still flying sparks, Qusay is indeed very shocked, he has already imagined what such a behemoth will look like when sailing.
Look at it again, the components that have been welded next to it are already behemoths, and then they are directly lifted to the slipway through a huge crane, which greatly shortens the time on the slipway, such a way of shipbuilding, but a pride of Makarov, greatly shortens the time on the slipway.
The rest of the Iraqi delegation who came here to visit was also very impressed, and the shipbuilding technology here was indeed first-class!
However, then Qusay's suggestion to visit the warship on the slipway was cleverly rejected by Makarov.
Construction is going on there right now, and if you go up, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.
Qusay knew that these people were still on guard after all, and how could the Soviet Union's own aircraft carrier allow outsiders to step on it casually. However, the welding sparks on it are splashing, and it is really not suitable to go up, if it is in the outfitting stage, it is almost the same.
After the tour, back to the shipyard conference room, the two sides sat down again and began to enter the talks.
"According to the contract that we have reached with your country in Iraq, the Nikolaev shipyard needs to build a heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser for us Iraq with a displacement close to the Riga, and we have already exchanged opinions with the designers at the Neva Design Bureau, and now, we are here to discuss with the director of the plant and put our warship construction plan on the way." When I came to the conference room, I didn't need to keep my identity secret, and I couldn't keep it secret, and the two sides would work together in the future.
Seeing that huge warship and thinking that Iraq would have such a sea giant in the future, the Iraqi personnel were very excited.
The design bureau would take several months to design, and after the design was completed, it could be handed over to the shipyard for manufacturing, so that in the early nineties, the ship could be built more or less, but in fact it was already too late by then, so Qusay was in a hurry, and the sooner the construction began, the better.
Looking at the stern director, Qusay waited for his answer.
"Okay, we will arrange it, if there are no other production tasks, we initially plan to cut the first steel plate for you in the next year." Makarov said.
"What?" Qusay felt that a mouthful of blood was about to spit out. If it really waits until that time, Iraq will not have to order it, and when the Soviet Union collapses, at most it will just build an empty shell, what use does Iraq want it?
"Our current slipway 0 is building the first ship, and after the first ship is launched this year, the second ship will be hoisted onto the slipway and closed, and in the process of assembling the second ship, the next type of military order will start to prefabricated components next to it, and wait until the second ship is launched from the slipway, and the next warship component will be hoisted onto the slipway, so that we can vacate the space and start welding components for you, the earliest estimate is that in the year of Jiu, if our military does not have a new order." Makarov said.
As soon as Kusai heard this, he understood that it turned out that to build an aircraft carrier, it was necessary to queue up, and his own aircraft carrier was to be ranked behind the nuclear-powered Ulyanovsk, and in later generations, when the Soviet Union collapsed, the Ulyanovsk was only 30 percent completed, and even under his influence, the Soviet Union postponed its disintegration, and I am afraid that it would not be able to wait for the aircraft carrier to enter service.
