C864 Do You Want an Aircraft Carrier?
The Cattle Country was a traditional navy country. It had a strong technological foundation and powerful manufacturing ability, which made the facilities of the Cattle Navy complete. The largest one was the Navy Base of Puzmouth.
This Navy Base was very close to the capital of Cattle Country. So, according to the general idea, it should be an inspection of this base.
But otherwise, because Qin Guan had also proposed to bring in Nimrod Antisubmarine Aircraft and support-level submarines, therefore, the Han Navy's delegation came this time to visit the Navy Base of Plymouth. This Navy Base was located near the southwest corner of Cattle Country, 220 kilometers east of the Navy Base of Plymouth.
The main forces stationed here were the Water Surface Ship and submarine troops of the Cattle Country. There was a Robert Airport in the northern suburbs of the city, and there was also a station for the Nimrod Antisubmarine Aircraft. Therefore, this was the best place for the Han people to visit.
The one in charge of receiving the Han Country delegation was still Major General Wuhuade. He knew that as the strength of the Cattle Country continued to weaken, it would become weaker and weaker. The Exporting Weapon was the best way to earn foreign currencies, especially since the Han Navy was quite backward. If they were to export advanced weapons to Han Country, they would earn a lot of foreign currencies.
The Spey Engine project was a good start, and they hoped that this momentum could be maintained.
As for whether or not the Han people would develop more advanced weapons based on the introduction, or even squeeze their own side in the world's export market, this would all be in the future.
This was the last day of the trade exhibition. Qin Guan appeared at the port a few hundred kilometers away from the trade exhibition. He looked at the warships docked at the port.
"Those are our invincible motherships." Major General Wuhuade pointed at the largest warship in the port and said with mixed feelings.
This was also the first time Qin Guan had seen an Invincible grade aircraft carrier. This small aircraft carrier was called the Anti-submarine Ship a few months ago. Its appearance also indicated the desolation of Cattle Navy.
After World War II, the power of Cattle Country had been weakening. A huge navy that once sailed across the world had also been shrinking in size.
Especially in the past few years, the previous Prime Minister had reduced military expenditure. Increasing social welfare as a selling point, constantly killing their own army. He felt that aircraft carriers were a money-burning thing, and in the end, rejected all of the naval aircraft carrier plans.
The Navy endured the humiliation and finally proposed the name of anti-submarine cruisers, which was why the invincible aircraft carrier was finally built.
Compared to the medium-sized aircraft carriers before, this thing could only be called light. It had 20,000 tons of drainage and carried nine Haiyao fighter planes. It was better than nothing. They could only rely on the Leaping Deck at the head of the ship to take off and lift it up vertically. Everyone was envious, but unfortunately, this gimmick was not popular anymore. Even if it was the F-35 of the future generation with a heaven-defying engine... It was always difficult to get off a vertical landing, and the technology of airplanes in this era... What good results could there be?
This continued until this year.
On July 11, 1980, Invincible aircraft carrier served. At the same time, Iron Lady, who was unyielding, went to power. To strengthen internal defense and to use iron fist means to resolve disputes. The word mothership was widely acknowledged by the Niu Army and the upper echelons of the government.
Although the ship was smaller and cost-effective, Cattle Navy, who was used to using large aircraft carriers, still felt a sense of loss. Even Iron Lady's government, who had always supported the construction of aircraft carriers, did not think highly of Invincible. Therefore, after the construction of the Invincible and the military service, they faced the misfortune of being cancelled or sealed away.
The navy sighed. If Iron Lady had come to power two years earlier, their navy's own aircraft carrier, the Royal Ark, was supposed to extend their lives by boarding the ship. In the end, they were forced to retire by the government at that time. They had already been dismantled. They wanted to cry but had no tears.
They desperately wanted a new large aircraft carrier. So, so, they had the idea of selling the Invincible. For example, in August 1982, the Cattle Country government announced that they would sell the Invincible to Sheep Back Country. However, a month later, a war broke out in the Donkey Island.
Qin Guan knew the history of this aircraft carrier. It was also because of the misfortune of fate.
"This aircraft carrier is a great weapon for ocean battles, and it is the newest equipment of our Cattle Navy. If you are interested, we can sell this aircraft carrier to you as well." Major General Wuhuade said.
Sell aircraft carriers? The eyes of the Han Navy who were present instantly widened.
The Han Navy also yearned for aircraft carriers. Any country's navy would be filled with expectations for aircraft carriers. The soldiers who did not want to be generals were not good partners, and the navy who did not want aircraft carriers was not good sailors.
Putting aside the hard work from the past few years, it started from the past ten years. In April 1970, the superiors decided to form an aircraft carrier research team. At that time, General Liu, who was the deputy director of the Navy Industrial Research Management Team, organized the first aircraft carrier specialization debate.
He confirmed that the development of the aircraft carrier was in two steps: from now until the end of 1972, focusing on scientific research design; starting construction in 1973, striving to build the first aircraft carrier at the end of the "4-5" plan.
The indicators at that time were indeed a huge leap forward. For some reason, the aircraft carrier was not built in the end, but General Liu. He had never stopped working hard. This time, he had supported the introduction of the Male Cat Fighter. Didn't he also have the preparation of the Boarding the Ship?
If he sold the Invincible, the Cattle Navy would be able to purchase a new aircraft carrier. It had to be a large aircraft carrier. Now, since they had brought the Han Navy here, they naturally had to trick them. What if the Han people fell for it?
Especially when they were afraid that the Han people would not have money in the past, but it was said that the Han Country had discovered a huge gold mine. They could use gold to pay for it. This made the people of the Cattle Country jealous, and they were determined to trick the Han people into buying the gold.
"Can this aircraft carrier launch and surrender a male cat?" Just as the navy generals were tempted, Qin Guan came up and splashed a ladle of cold water on them.
The aircraft carrier of Y Country used Steam Catapult, which could send down heavy Male Cat Fighter. This Invincible used a light Haiyao fighter aircraft.
If it was sold to Han Country, would Han Country still need to buy Haiyao? This thing was totally different. It was full of dreams, and reality was cruel. It was the type that couldn't do anything.2
When Qin Guan asked this, General Wuhuade was stunned. "This, we haven't tried it yet."
Invincible level, it was creative to use a hoverboard to take off.
The landing and landing of the plane required a runway. On land, the runway was more than a kilometer long, and the warship wasn't that long, so they had to think of other ways.
For example, the launching and taking off was actually invented by Cattle Country, and now, the hoverboard took off. It was also invented by Cattle Country, which set up a hoverboard at the head of the aircraft carrier. It made the aircraft fly with full force and slid out of the aircraft carrier. Just like that, it flew up.
It could be said that there was no other way. The Haiyao was a vertical landing. Sliding and jumping could save fuel, so there was no problem with this method.
