Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qi Yiming knew from his previous life experience that the Chakri Narubet originally ordered by Thailand from the Spanish Bazin Shipyard was not a qualified military ship from many perspectives.  In order to keep the cost down, the Thais asked Spanish shipyards to use a large number of civilian ship materials, because the sales of civilian ship materials were large and they could keep costs down.  They only still design and construct in accordance with military standards in projects such as the flight deck, power plant, power distribution system, and damage control system.  Even, except for necessary flight operation equipment, other Thai people think that it is useless, and they will save as much as possible.

    Even in the armament of this ship, it only uses four "Meroka" 2-tube 2mm short-range anti-aircraft guns, and there is no Phalanx system and anti-aircraft missiles.  In addition, the avionics equipment is basically made of slightly outdated or low-priced and low-quality American products to ensure that the ship can be controlled within 400 million US dollars as much as possible.

    Calculated according to Qi Yiming's "black-hearted business experience", if he builds a 260-ton light aircraft carrier, if the equipment and systems are complete, he will have to collect at least 6.6 billion US dollars. However, a domestic cruiser 056 with the same 260 tons  Model, the price quoted to the Navy was actually less than B billion yuan, which is about 100 million US dollars.  Naturally, aircraft carriers are more expensive to build than cruisers, but cruisers also have expensive components such as complex universal vertical launch systems and Aegis systems.  It can be seen how profitable Qi Yiming's arms business is.

    However, even if the price is shady, Qi Yiming can guarantee that it is strong enough in terms of quality.  A complete weapon system can at least greatly improve the combat strength of the Royal Thai Navy.

    However, the Thais just want bargains, so Qi Yiming sent the details of various items to the shipyard below, and the shipyard said that construction would not be a problem.  There was also a little tidbit in the middle. The Thais contacted the shipyards of several powerful naval countries in the world. In China, they took the initiative to find Shenghua, which had done business with them. The business was assigned to the Qingdao shipyard because the nuclear submarines were built in the Bohai Sea.  , Huludao Shipyard is actually the vest of the base shipyard.  However, several other state-owned shipyards also came forward and gave their own plans, including Huangpu and Hudong shipyards.

    Dachun and Jiangnan did not participate because they have many civilian ship projects. The military ship project also includes large businesses such as aircraft carriers, amphibious ships, and cruisers, so there is no spare slipway to help Thailand build this light aircraft carrier.  .  Huangpu and Hudong belong to the PLAl Ding list with some frigates, but they feel that they are still insufficient and not too full. And if they continue like this, it will be difficult for them to upgrade their shipyards without any accidents, and they will only produce frigates for the rest of their lives.  .

    The qualifications of Qingdao Shipyard are certainly inferior to those of Huangpu and Hudong. The most important ship produced is the 056 corvette. However, Qi Yiming dispatched enough red alert engineers and the shipyard is also strong enough to build one.  A light aircraft carrier of 10,000 to 20,000 tons is not a problem at all.

    Because he was worried that he would not be able to compete with Huangpu and Hudong, company manager Zhou Yutong finally pulled out reinforcements from the group.  The total contract value is US$600 million, including an aircraft carrier and 10 J-V vertical take-off and landing fighters, plus two Z-Navy version helicopters, including corresponding training and guidance costs.

    With such a condition, the competitiveness of Huangpu and Hudong will be greatly reduced.  Thailand previously considered buying second-hand -E from other countries at low prices for use, but Thais are not stupid. They know that AV-U is a food delivery service compared to China's P, although P is more expensive than second-hand -B.  , but after all, it is a new machine and its combat power is considerable.

    The final contract has not yet been signed, and it will definitely be signed next year at the earliest. Shenghua has basically locked in this 600 million big order, and the Thais also feel that they have made some gains.  In fact, the proposal given by Spain's Bazan Shipyard is also good. Although the tactical indicators are slightly worse than Chinese weapons, the price is even slightly lower.  After Qi Yiming learned about this, he complained for a few minutes. A country that is clearly a developed country in Western Europe sells inferior and cheaper products than China. It is really a turn of events.

    In October, China accomplished another major event¡ªsigning an armistice and peace treaty with Vietnam.

    Over the years, China has continuously dispatched troops to take action in various hot spots, so much so that many people have actually forgotten that China and its little neighbor to the south are still at war. In fact, not only China itself, but also the Republic of Nanyang has been intermittently  Conflict broke out with Vietnam at sea.  Vietnam continues to have military ships or civilian ships entering the South China Sea controlled by China or Nanyang. The two sides are in a state of war and start fighting as soon as they meet. Therefore, Vietnam has also lost a lot of maritime power. The navy has shrunk to almost the historical level.  lowest point.

    In fact, after the Long March came to power, Vietnam already had a tendency to reconcile with China. However, by that time, China had already completed its hegemony in the South China Sea. All the islands and reefs claimed by Vietnam had been occupied by the Chinese, and they still had no idea.  Back, because as soon as the ship was dispatched, it was immediately scanned by the powerful Chinese radar, and the nearby defensive forces immediately launched an attack to repel it.

    Moreover, although the battle between the two mountains has basically ended, the Chinese people were exhausted and the Chengdu Military Region took over the main defense of the Sino-Vietnamese border, so the generals of the Chengdu Military RegionOfficials especially like to pull together a few division-level or brigade-level troops, maneuver hundreds or even thousands of kilometers to the Sino-Vietnamese border, and then carry out massive actual combat exercises.  Such actions have made Vietnam very nervous. In recent years, the number of residents in northern Vietnam has become even smaller and smaller, because they are afraid that China's powerful PLA may cross the border and attack. But this time, it is obvious that Vietnam is unlikely to resist well, so the number of residents in northern Vietnam has become even smaller.  The north has become a dangerous zone, and no one has the intention to build. Most people have fled to the more stable central and even southern regions.

    This can be regarded as a faithful implementation of the original strategy set by the Grand Elder that year to drag down Vietnam's economic development and frighten and frighten the enemy.  It is precisely because Vietnam feels that it is unsustainable, especially after the Soviet Union crossed Taiwan and Russia fell into its own internal strife. Vietnam has completely no backing to help it fight against China. They are now just a quail egg, and China is a giant.  The hammer can smash them to pieces at any time, and the egg yolk will flow out.

    There is a key clause in the peace agreement signed between China and Vietnam that Vietnam cannot accept, that is, it recognizes that China has absolute jurisdiction and economic rights over the waters within the nine-dash line, and all islands and reefs within the nine-dash line belong to China.  This is tantamount to allowing Vietnam to completely give up its claim to sovereignty over the Xisha and Nansha Islands. From now on, it will no longer be possible to say that these two archipelagoes are disputed.

    Vietnam is also the last country near China's nine-dash line that has not recognized it. Malaysia's previous non-recognition was replaced by recognition of Nanyang. The Philippines, fearing China's anger and the instigation of the United States, pulled out eight islands and reefs and recognized it with pinching noses.  .  Now only Vietnam is left to carry on.

    Ye Yaozi, on behalf of the Strategic Bureau, paid full attention to the Sino-Vietnam peace agreement. She said quite proudly: "Looking at the faces of those Vietnamese representatives, they all looked like they had eaten shit. It was so happy. They even wanted to imitate us.  The old wisdom is that the peace agreement should shelve the disputed issues. Our Foreign Minister Qian made it clear. Recognizing that all rights and interests within the nine-dash line belong to China is the basis for the peace agreement to be signed. Without this, the peace agreement will be unnecessary.  talk."

    Qi Yiming also smiled slightly and said: "But our bodies and postures are still correct, right? I heard that CNOOC even made a proposal to cooperate with Vietnam to exploit oil in the Beibu Gulf. This is equivalent to sending money to Vietnam.  ah."

    Ye Yaozi felt a little helpless and said: "Back then, the Beibu Gulf was divided into two halves. At this time, some comrades cannot accept the overthrow of the previous decisions. Besides, the so-called cooperative mining must mean that we extract oil from the waters on the Vietnamese side.  "How can we get the oil here? In the final analysis, we still get the advantage."

    Qi Yiming also knows that for Vietnam to truly accept that Xisha and Nansha belong to China, it is not enough to just shake it hard with a big stick. At least half a sweet date must be given to Vietnam to finally give in.  And even if China does not intervene, oil companies from other countries in the world will sooner or later intervene. Will Chinese law enforcement ships or warships be allowed to harass it? The scene will be extremely ugly.

    The oil in the Beibu Gulf is relatively abundant. Qi Yiming has read a rough exploration report. The oil reserves in the Beibu Gulf basin are only technically recoverable, with 200 million tons, and the total amount is about 600 million tons.  Of course it's not as good as super oil fields like Tyumen, but it's still far better than Daqing and Shengli in the country's interior.

    CNOOC has already begun planning to drill oil wells near Weizhou Island, and it is logical to enter the Vietnamese waters next. After all, only by forming regional cluster benefits can we better control costs and increase profits.  In addition, Vietnam also lacks petrochemical capabilities. It has oil fields around the coast, but it cannot turn them into fuel for cars and ships.  Some people in the industry believe that a large-scale petrochemical base should be established in Guangxi, mainly for Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam, to earn profits.

    ¡°In fact, even before Qi Yiming¡¯s time travel, Vietnam still exported crude oil and imported refined oil products at the same time. If the supply of refined oil products in Vietnam can be blocked, Vietnam¡¯s ability to clamp down on Vietnam will be greatly improved.

    Not only the Beibu Gulf oil, but also the offshore oil fields in the south that Vietnam has begun to cooperate with the Soviet Union in advance have also become uncertain due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Vietnam can choose to cooperate more with the West, but China also has opportunities. Although Vietnam is against China  A lot of caution.

    In this way, under pressure from many aspects, Vietnam finally chose to return to the negotiating table and agreed to various demands made by China in exchange for China reducing its military pressure on the border of North Vietnam and investing in oil exploration and investment.  Provide some help with issues.  But having said that, the so-called military pressure is easy to withdraw, and it is equally easy to put it up.
