Chapter 1004: Everyone is happy

Xiao Jinlang felt that the deal of refitting 50 037s was good, and Director Liu, who was in charge of arms sales and modification of the Navy, also felt that this was a good opportunity to clear the inventory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

When Zhou Qingfeng's needs were delivered to the lieutenant colonel, the chief of the department, who was specially responsible for refitting arms sales to small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, was overjoyed.

In recent years, the equipment of the PLA Navy has been updated with each passing day, one new ship after another has been launched into service, and a large number of old ships have been mothballed. And sealed and sealed, there is more waste docked at the port of the shipbreaking yard.

Nowadays, there are no major naval wars in the world, and the consumption of equipment is slow. The local tyrants in the Middle East have money in their hands, and they will definitely not want to retire the waste. People never buy the right ones, only the expensive ones. And the sufferers in the third world have no money in their pockets, and they are so poor that they can't even afford second-hand decommissioned goods.

PLA wants to clear the old goods in its hands, but there are too few wronged people like India in the world. The decommissioned weapons in his hand are stored in the yard and don't even need to go to places like shipyards, they are directly pulled as targets, or rot in some unknown corner.

Although the flower growers are rich now, the navy is really a money-burning service. A modern destroyer casually throws billions into it, and if it is an aircraft carrier, it has to prepare hundreds of billions if it counts carrier-based aircraft. It would be good if we could get some money back, and we could build an extra frigate.

In addition to being delighted, Director Liu began to wonder what to do with this job? He called several people from the Naval Equipment Research Institute, and as a result, two people from the research institute came, and several ship repair yards that had learned the news from the research institute sent people to squeeze over.

"Liu, leave this modification task to us."

"Liu, this kind of small task doesn't need to trouble others, we will take care of it."

"Liu, we are not greedy, just give us ten."

"Liu, we haven't worked here for half a year, and the team will collapse if we don't have any tasks."

The trivial matter of modifying 037 was not kept secret, and the news spread easily. As a result, there were seven or eight people blocked in Liu's office, all of whom came to ask for tasks.

I want to engage in 'air diving fast' when the navy was poor, and the 'fast' in it refers to small boats such as speedboats. This kind of shipbuilding task with little technical difficulty feeds a lot of people. However, now the navy can't look down on gadgets under 1,000 tons, and suddenly there are a lot of military industrial enterprises waiting to be fed.

In recent years, military industrial enterprises have also engaged in a similar kind of 'shutting down and transferring' backward production capacity stripping, and it is indispensable that a large number of factories and personnel with poor technology have to find their own way. But you have to be rich to find a way, and a penny is hard to beat a hero.

Large shipyards such as 'Jiangnan' don't look down on mosquito meat like '037', but a lot of people think it's a rich delicacy. Liu Chu suddenly had a headache about how to assign this task, there were too many people who wanted to eat cake.

Looking at the bunch of people staring at him with red eyes, the dignified lieutenant commander could only try his best to contact Xiao Jinlang again, so he wanted to ask the customers behind him - we have more than 100 '037' here, and hundreds of smaller speedboat torpedo boats, are they more refitted?

It's very cheap!

This inquiry was sent to Zhou Qingfeng's ears, and he also pondered it -- the Havana shipyard has limited conversion capacity, the supporting industrial system has not yet been established, and there are even fewer experienced workers. I haven't been able to get a suitable boat for more than a year.

However, the various forces in the Caribbean and South America cannot afford to play big ships, and even 500-ton ships are too big, and 100-ton patrol boats are the best. Think of the long coastline of Central and South America, where there are fragmented arms markets.

The key is to be cheap, the forces of the wasteland have a tinkle that counts all of them poor. Even the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave are not wealthy.

Liu at this end has been uneasy since he passed on his thoughts, secretly thinking that his reckless request would not scare customers away. There are not many people who are willing to pick up the rags these days, and they must be cherished.

After a day of restless waiting, Liu received a reply from a mysterious customer. He opened the document and looked at it, and immediately jumped up from his chair like a monkey - the new order greatly expanded the business, not only to the '037', but also to the old decommissioned torpedo boats.

Torpedo boats of several tens of tons can be sold for money if they dismantle the launch tubes, equip them with machine guns and machine guns, install small radars and complete radios, and then trim and repair the power system!

Similar speedboat patrol boats are similarly modified and handled exclusively to the needs of the Coast Guard. And the number has soared from 50 ships of '037' to 1,000 ships, and this cake has greatly increased. The point is that the entire modification requirement is not difficult at all, and there are too many old assets that can be converted.

The PLA Navy for the first fifty years hoarded a large number of small boats and small boats. It's pitiful to say, one of the five big hooligans, a superpower with a population of more than a billion, and its long coastline is guarded by a bunch of mosquito boats.

The nine-dash line of the South China Sea map of the flower growers has been drawn to the gates of other countries, but they do not have enough strength to declare sovereignty. Back then, even countries like Vietnam dared to grab islands with us, and even countries like Brunei dared to come and grab oil and gas with us, which was really infuriating!

Zhou Qingfeng considered that the industrial capacity of his own army was still too weak and the demand was not small, so he scattered an order for 1,000 ships that were not capped. This can alarm the entire PLA Navy, not only Liu Chu is happy to not be able to find the north, but even the senior officers at the commander level are surprised.

Some people even came up with the idea that it was not difficult to renovate a thousand small boats or anything, and quickly asked the other party for a deposit to settle the business. Even if we empty our second-hand goods, we can also go to other countries to get scrap products to modify.

The people who grow flowers really shed their money one by one, and they can't move when they see a little money. And Zhou Qingfeng's requirements for his orders are also special, he just wants to be cheap, cheap and cheap. For example, an old torpedo boat of several tens of tons will be rebuilt for 800,000 yuan.

It's only 800,000, and you want to install a radar radio to a machine gun and a machine gun, and you have to trim it as new? In the end, the task of refitting planning fell on Liu's head, and the lieutenant colonel, who was in charge of selling second-hand goods, racked his brains and pressed the calculator sharply, and finally gritted his teeth and confessed.

"That's the job, we don't have too many machine guns in stock. The civilian version on the radar, the old model on the radio, and the profit of 25 percent. ā€

You must know that when the navy was poor, it was engaged in business, and it also dealt with some retired torpedo boats to the private sector. Not to mention the small amount that can be handled, it is also prone to corruption. Now that someone finally has all-inclusive, the Navy has simply come out of sight and pulled away.

Zhou Qingfeng was quite satisfied with this, he didn't have much requirements for the performance of these ships, anyway, they were carrying out coastal patrols and fighting piracy, as long as they could be used.

The navy was even more satisfied, which was tantamount to emptying a large number of its stocks that could only be used as scrap metal at once, and selling a large number of expired weapons and ammunition. It also got funds to save several small shipyards, thousands of workers had jobs, and the pension expenses of a large number of old workers were settled.

Everyone is happy!
