Chapter 782: Navy's aircraft carrier dream

It's a pity that Su-27's technology hasn't been fully understood yet. Improving it is not easy. Because of insufficient technical reserves, I once thought about buying from Xiong Country, but Xiong Country has actually lost its production capacity and is still asking for prices.
It was not until the Su-33 prototype was obtained from the Ermao country to conduct surveying and mapping. It was an achievement, and finally the carrier-based aircraft was developed.
This is a long, complicated and tortuous process. There have even been crashes. The best navy pilot died near the simulated deck.
But now, such twists and turns are no longer needed, Tomcat, originally a carrier-based aircraft!
In the past, Qin Guan didn’t realize this, or he didn’t realize it strongly, because Qin Guan didn’t come into contact with the navy too much. He didn’t know that there was always a strong one in the navy’s heart. Dream of aircraft carrier! As early as after the motherland was established, the leaders at that time realized the importance of coastal defense.
"In order to oppose imperialist aggression, we must build a powerful navy."
Under the guidance of this ideology, the then Central Military Commission put forward an 8-year construction plan to develop the shipbuilding industry of the ocean-going navy. This plan is divided into two steps.
The first step is to focus on missiles, with submarines as the focus, while developing small and medium-sized surface ships; this plan has been developed and eventually became the navy's basic air submarine.
The second step is to build an aircraft carrier.
However, the second step is too big. Lack of a realistic basis, after the 1960s, as the relationship with the bear country broke down, the ambitious plan finally stayed on paper, and the "aircraft carrier dream" became a distant future.
In this way, until the seventies.
Although Han is economically backward, it has the advantages of the system. As long as the central government makes up its mind, it will definitely produce it. The atomic bombs and nuclear submarines are all produced by the concentration of manpower and material resources throughout the country.
In April 1970, the Central Military Commission decided to form an aircraft carrier development team.
At that time, he served as the deputy director of the Office of the Naval Shipbuilding Industry Scientific Research Leading Group, General Liu!
General Liu organized the first demonstration on aircraft carriers. The development of an aircraft carrier is determined in two steps: from now to the end of 1972, the focus is on the completion of scientific research and design; construction started in 1973, and the first aircraft carrier is launched in the final stage of the "Fourth Five-Year Plan".
At that time, if the national strength was concentrated, it would definitely be possible to do it, but for special reasons, the aircraft carrier project was aborted again.
It has been ten years, and the proposal to build an aircraft carrier still remains literally.
Now that the country has reformed and opened up, it is necessary to focus on economic development. It seems that such a hugely expensive project such as aircraft carriers will definitely be delayed indefinitely.
But how can the Navy give up?
Perhaps in the center, there will be a lot of opposition. They think that the size of the aircraft carrier is huge, it is a living target, and it costs a lot of money, and it is of no use. However, the Navy itself knows that without an aircraft carrier, it is impossible to have a powerful navy. May safeguard maritime interests.
With the development of trade, the maritime transportation safety of Han will gradually become more prominent.
Now, there is a good opportunity, the Tomcat fighter!
This aircraft was originally built as a carrier-based aircraft. Now that we already have it, we have taken a solid step forward.
The Navy will never give up its dream of an aircraft carrier! And for the Navy to realize its dream of an aircraft carrier, the man in front of him is very important.
That's right, Qin Guan can play a prominent role. After all, Qin Guan is the person that the superiors value most. The superiors will listen to his words.
At the same time, Qin Guan also has various methods to advance the project. This time buying the Tomcat fighter from the Kingdom of Axe is a miracle, only Qin Guan can do it!
So in the same way, as long as Qin Guan supports, it will definitely help the navy become stronger and achieve its goals.
Now, General Zhao mentioned the Tomcat as a carrier-based aircraft, just to test Qin Guan's attitude, to see if Qin Guan thinks the aircraft carrier is useless or irreplaceable.
"It is a good plan to use the Tomcat as a carrier-based aircraft." Qin Guan said, "However, if we want to build an aircraft carrier, I'm afraid we have a long way to go."
Facing General Zhao, Qin Guan thought about it. The navy built an aircraft carrier. It was definitely not an overnight task. Not to mention that he could not exchange Ang from the weapon cemetery. Even if he could, there were only aircraft carriers and no escorting warships. It won't work either.
The aircraft carrier formation is a systematic project.
First of all, we still need a strong country and a strong economy. Without this, everything is in vain. Even if we exchange equipment ourselves, the daily operating cost is an astronomical figure.
So, it seems that I can only wait?
of course not.
"Our first step is to build a larger ocean-going merchant fleet and transportation fleet, train our naval reserve forces, build our shipyards and docks, and build large-scale LNG transporting oil and gas. Ships and large ships that transport ore will exercise our shipbuilding capabilities and cover up military shipbuilding capabilities with civilian use."
How to develop the country's economy? From the perspective of the navy, it is to develop the shipbuilding industry!
Han's greatest advantage is its low cost. It enters the market at a low cost. It first grows bigger, then becomes stronger, develops the shipbuilding industry, and reserves power for the development of the navy.
Qin Guan said this, and General Zhao was immediately bright. As a navy general, they have their own limitations. They only see how the navy develops, but they have not thought about how to integrate into the country's construction. Now, Qin Guan introduced this , There is a feeling of sudden rush.
Yes, vigorously develop the domestic shipbuilding industry. Of course, the Navy can promote this development.
"At the same time, if the Navy is greedy, it can also be planned in advance. For example, on land, we build a 1:1 scale cement aircraft carrier model and build our "Nitka" base, which can start to train our naval aviation in advance. No matter it is a carrier-based helicopter or a carrier-based fixed-wing aircraft, unified training and exercises are conducted at this base."
The navy wants an aircraft carrier now, there is no way, but after the navy has Tomcat, the take-off and landing of carrier-based aircraft can be trained. This is to build a simulation base on land.
It does not mean that with an aircraft carrier, you can immediately have combat capabilities, a complete set of aircraft carrier systems, one of which is essential is the carrier-based aircraft simulation training system on land.
Due to the large difference between landing and landing on an aircraft carrier, and the more diverse tasks performed by carrier-based aircraft, the training of carrier-based pilots is much more complicated than that of land-based pilots.
No one dared to let the pilot directly carry out the real take-off and landing of the carrier-based aircraft, even if it was Chen Rui, Qin Guan did not dare to let him experiment.
