    The first successor Qi Yiming found was South Korea.  Since the rebellion in South Korea, China and South Korea formally established external relations shortly afterwards. Because of the relationship with North Korea, South Korea desperately hopes to win China's support and thereby isolate North Korea.  Therefore, China has taken advantage of most of the economic, trade and investment negotiations between China and South Korea.

    Since 1985, South Korea has begun to distribute a portion of its military supplies to China in terms of military purchases. On the one hand, it is because the South Korean army was defeated by the PLAf], which is still fresh in their memory. On the other hand, South Korea does not want to rely too much on American weapons and constantly give the Americans the benefit of the doubt.  Taken advantage of.  Under the guidance of this idea, the Koreans first purchased 60 Xiaolong fighters. After a period of trial, they were full of praise and planned to purchase a second batch of Xiaolong fighters in the future.

    Then there is the submarine arms purchase case. South Korea finally withdrew from the multinational submarine arms purchase case, leaving only three countries: Canada, Japan, and Australia, which each ordered some AIp submarines.  However, after South Korea conducted an evaluation, it launched a new submarine arms purchase case. They hope that China can tailor-make a 26-ton light conventional submarine for South Korea that is not equipped with an AIp system, and hope to obtain technology transfer.

    In fact, South Korea is still very nervous about buying Chinese equipment. If China does not have the integrity to sell the specific details of the equipment or even the original equipment to North Korea, it will be unlucky for the South Koreans. However, fortunately, there is an understanding agreement with every military purchase to ensure that China will not  Products leaked to North Korea and sold to South Korea will no longer be sold to North Korea.

    Of course, this depends on the character of the Celestial Dynasty.

    South Korea¡¯s new submarine arms purchase case has been talked about until now. At most, there is an intention and an outline, and some details have been determined, but it has not yet reached the point of signing a contract.

    It is not difficult for the base engineers to design a light submarine at will. They quickly came up with a design plan, which was very similar to the Type 29 Zhang Baogao class submarine that South Korea bought from Germany in another timeline, so Qi Yiming also  This type of submarine is nicknamed the Zhang Baogao class.  According to the agreement, China will produce submarines for South Korea. After the technology transfer, South Korea will produce the remaining submarines by Daewoo Shipbuilding with the help of China. The total contract value is US$21 billion, which is not expensive.

    Although negotiations are very troublesome, there should be no flaws in this contract and it will eventually be reached.  At this time, Qi Yiming provided South Korea with a new plan.

    Sell ??four canceled PL Navy battleship Type 05 destroyers, and then transfer the design data of this type of destroyer to South Korea. South Korea can decide on its own to continue building this type of ship without paying patent fees to China. The total contract value is US$1.5 billion.  .

    This really scratched the itch of the Koreans. South Korea is a very ambitious country. Not to mention the joke about being a big country in the universe, Bangzi, who has a strong self-esteem, has always hoped to be an upright big country and have a powerful army.  The military must be the basic component of a great country.  Nam Bang started the Ulsan ship project in the early 1980s, and the domestically-made warships were officially released. Then they gradually improved their shipbuilding level by introducing technology and independent research and development based on the Ulsan ship. By the 21st century, South Korea's warships  The manufacturing capabilities are not among the strongest in the world, but they are among the best.

    At this time when Nanbang is officially weak, although the Ulsan ship carries hope, like China's Type 05 destroyer, its design is naive and cannot be used.  Obtaining technical support from other countries obviously costs more. At the same time, the Chinese Navy is now recognized as a world leader, and the Type 05 destroyer is also evaluated as the best destroyer in the world (the Type 052 and Arleigh Burke class have not yet appeared at the time of the review)  .  If the 052AR spoon manufacturing technology is obtained from now on, the shipbuilding capabilities of the South Korean Navy will inevitably improve by leaps and bounds.

    Rear Admiral Choi Hyung-hwan of the South Korean Navy stood on the 05 destroyer outside the Yangtze River Estuary with emotion. This warship was the first of the four warships ordered by the PL Navy, but its commissioning plan was canceled because it was born at the wrong time.  It has completed sea trials and is waiting to be put into service, but now it is being shelved in the shipyard.

    "How can such a good warship be idle in the dock?" Choi Hyung-hwan said to the people around him, "Our Republic of Korea Navy must have this destroyer, oh no, we must get four destroyers, and then we will humbly learn from the Chinese technology.  After we fully master it, we will build more such excellent warships. By then, let alone North Korea, we will keep our heads down even if we encounter the Sea of ??Japan."

    Choi Hyung Hwan was deeply impressed by the 05. During the upheaval a few years ago, it was this destroyer that showed great power in the West Sea (called the Yellow Sea in China).  She was able to carry a helicopter to rescue Chinese diplomats, and the Thorn-L missile she launched directly shot down a South Korean fighter plane.  Later, Cui Hyung-hwan also learned that this type of destroyer is also equipped with powerful anti-ship missiles, which can destroy the enemy invisible at a distance of 400 kilometers.

    It is a pity that China refuses to transfer the Eagle 6262 anti-ship missile to South Korea. The installed launcher needs to be removed. However, as compensation, South Korea can choose to equip China's 82 anti-ship missile. Although the range is reduced by more than half, it is still  Very powerful.  Of course, Koreans can also find American dads to install harpoons, but it will take a long time.It must be more expensive than buying 82.

    The South Korean official next to him, Li Xianmin, worriedly said to Choi Hyung-hwan: "We were already in the process of purchasing submarines from China. Now if we add this warship purchase case, the total total is as much as 300 million U.S. dollars. Although the country's economic situation is good,  But such a large amount of money is likely to drag down the military's finances, so you have to think carefully."

    General Smecta shook his head repeatedly and said: "It's not your calculation. There are some things you can't buy with money. When you have the opportunity, you must not miss it even if you tighten your belt. Zhang Baogao-class 10 submarine construction plan  If the money is spread over ten years, it will actually not be much. The cost of four 05 destroyers plus technology transfer is only US$1.5 billion. This is no longer cheap. The Chinese are very generous, and I doubt they will regret it afterwards. "

    Cui Hyung-hwan added: "We started planning the KDl plan the year before last. It has not yet taken shape. It is roughly a small destroyer of less than 406 tons. Two ships will be built at one time to replace the old American warships of the Daegu class and Chungbuk class. If we count  Calculated, it is definitely much more expensive than the 05 we buy now. Besides, how can our own design compare with the mature design of the Chinese? One is the most powerful destroyer in the world, and the other is a rookie ship that has just started. I am afraid that one ship  05 can fight four or five KDl. The navy has already started operations and is preparing to introduce the Chinese destroyer project to replace the KDl project. Anyway, we can get the technology and then we can continue to manufacture according to our own needs. Anyone with a little brains will know.  How to choose? Buy four Chinese ships and we will build four more. In the future, in the East Asian ocean, although the Republic of Korea will not be the strongest, it will be a force that cannot be ignored."

    Li Xianmin knew that Cui Henghuan was telling the truth and was very convincing. Although such a deal may make Han Jun poor for a long time, as long as this period of time is passed, Han Jun can make a qualitative leap.  As the matter involves the future and dignity of the country, Li Xianmin stopped being a bad guy and nodded: "Then I will advise President Roh Tae-woo to support the Navy's purchase of these four destroyers."

    With the South Korean Navy red-eyed and anxious, the destroyer arms purchase case progressed faster than the submarine arms purchase case. By the middle of the year, the agreement had been signed. The Koreans couldn't wait to hand over $B billion, first from Gangnam Shipyard.  The two destroyers that had completed the outfitting sea trials were taken away.  The shipyard naturally removed some things that they considered too advanced or replaced them with ordinary products. For example, the avionics system and software were weaker than the genuine 05, because the shipboard equipment was not produced by the base, but by military enterprises.  This is our hands-on work, so there has been a slight drop in accuracy and performance.  For example, the radar's trouble-free working time has been shortened, and the detection range has also been reduced.  However, the iconic 15-gun and Thorn-L anti-aircraft missiles are still retained, giving the Gwanggaeto King-class destroyer still dazzling combat power.

    Selling such a powerful warship as the 05 to South Korea has caused quite a stir internationally. Many countries are speculating on why China would do this. The most mainstream view is of course what Qi Yiming wants them to think, that China is over-exploited.  The military industry has led to economic problems.

    The real situation is that even after everyone within the Navy got the new toy, their evaluation of the non-Aegis 052Ai immediately changed from "the best in the world" to "just like that". Naturally, Qi Yiming will not completely transfer the technology to  Nanbang, at best, is the production of a hull.  It is impossible for South Korea to make other components such as sea surface search radar, fire control radar, naval guns, missiles, anti-submarine sonar, software systems, etc., and needs to purchase them from China.  In other words, the more they want to build ships, the more money they need to pay to China.

    They may be able to copy something, or buy American goods, but Qi Yiming believes that if you want to copycat, you must be prepared to be sued in court. Buying American goods is obviously much more expensive than buying Chinese goods, so Koreans should be wise.  choose.

    Therefore, the production technology of a ship hull has some value in stealth, and the other is the design ideas and some details. The expensive weapon avionics system is another big head, but Qi Yiming can continue to knock the bones out and make a lot of money.

    The Navy happily took over the revenue of 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, but it was not happy for a few days. The country took away most of the money, leaving only more than 100 million dollars for the Navy, which made Commander Li Jing cry without tears.  As for another ship for sale, two 05 frigates, Qi Yiming had been selling them for several months but could not find a buyer. In the end, the price was reduced to US$200 million before they were bought by Chile in the early 1990s.

    It is gratifying to say that in the original history, Chile purchased second-hand British Leander-class ships. However, in this era, Britain suffered heavy losses due to the Battle of the Malacca Strait, and it was impossible to sell second-hand ships on a large scale.  After contacting China, Chile learned that copper mines could be used to offset the debt. Although the price was a bit expensive, Chile readily agreed.
