Rise of the Wasteland

Chapter 1004: Everyone's Happy

Xiao Jinlang felt that the business of refitting fifty O37s was good, and Director Liu, who was in charge of the military sales and refitting of the Navy, also felt that this was a good opportunity to clear the inventory.

When Zhou Qingfeng's request was delivered to the lieutenant colonel, the director who was in charge of selling modified arms to small countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America was overjoyed.

In the past few years, the equipment update of pLa navy has been changing with each passing day. New ships have been launched into service one after another, and a large number of old ships have been sealed up. And sealed and sealed, there will be more waste docked at the port of the shipbreaking yard.

There are no major naval battles in the world today, and equipment consumption is slow. The local tyrants in the Middle East have money in their hands, and they will definitely not want retired waste. People never buy the right ones, only sell expensive ones. And the poor people in the third world have no money in their pockets, and they are so poor that they can't even afford second-hand retired goods.

pLa wants to clear out the old goods in his hand, but there are too few people in the world who are taken advantage of like India. The decommissioned weapons in my hand are stored in a warehouse, and I don’t even need to go to places like shipbreaking yards. I just pull them as targets, or rot in some unknown corner.

Although flower growers are rich nowadays, the navy is really a money-burning military branch. A modern destroyer will throw in billions casually, and if it is an aircraft carrier, it will have to prepare hundreds of billions including carrier-based aircraft. It would be good if we can get some money back, and we can build another frigate.

Overjoyed, Director Liu began to think about how to do this job? He called a few people from the Naval Equipment Research Institute, and as a result, only two people came from the research institute, and several ship repair yards who got the news from the research institute sent people to squeeze in one after another.

"Liu Chu, leave this modification task to us."

"Liu Chu, you don't need to bother others with such a small task, we will take care of it."

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

"Liu Chu, we have been out of work for half a year, and the team will collapse if there is no task."

Little things like modifying the o37 were not kept secret, and the news spread easily. As a result, there were seven or eight people blocking Liu Chu's office, all of whom came to ask for tasks.

I think back when the Navy was poor, they engaged in "air-submarine fast", and the "fast" in it refers to small boats such as speedboats. This kind of shipbuilding task with little technical difficulty has supported many people. But now the navy doesn't look down on gadgets under 1,000 tons, and there are a lot of military enterprises waiting to be fed.

In recent years, military industrial enterprises have also engaged in the divestiture of outdated production capacity similar to "shutdown and transfer". Inevitably, a large number of factories and personnel with poor technology have to find their own way out. But you need money to find a way out, and a penny is hard for a hero.

Big shipyards like 'Jiangnan' don't like the modification of 'o37', a kind of mosquito meat, but many people think it's a rich delicacy. Liu Chu suddenly had a headache for how to assign this task, there are too many people who want to eat cakes.

Seeing a group of people below staring at him with red eyes, the dignified Navy Lieutenant Colonel could only try to contact Xiao Jinlang again, and wanted to ask the customer behind him - we have more than a hundred 'o37's, how many ships are there? There are hundreds of smaller speedboats and torpedo boats, should they be modified more?

The price is very cheap!

This question was sent to Zhou Qingfeng's ears, and he thought it over. Havana Shipyard's refitting capacity is limited, the supporting industrial system has not yet been established, and there are very few experienced workers. Not many suitable boats have been produced for more than a year.

The various forces in the Caribbean and South America can't play with big ships, even 500-ton ships are too big for them, and 100-ton patrol boats are the best. Think about the long coastlines of Central and South America, among which there are still fragmented arms markets.

The key is to be cheap, the forces of the wasteland have a jingle that everyone is poor. Not even the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave have deep pockets.

Liu Chu on the other end has been uneasy since he passed on his ideas, wondering if he would scare the customers away by making such a reckless request. There are not many people who are willing to pick up junk these days, so we must cherish it.

After restlessly waiting for a day, Liu Chu received a reply from a mysterious client. He opened the file to see,

Suddenly Xi jumped up from his chair like a monkey in the sky-the new order greatly expanded the business, not limited to the 'o37', but even the old decommissioned torpedo boats.

The torpedo boats of tens of tons have their tubes removed, equipped with cannons and machine guns, equipped with small radars and complete radios, and then repaired and repaired the power system, which can be sold for money!

Similar speedboat patrol boats are similarly modified, completely in accordance with the needs of the Coast Guard. Moreover, the number has soared from fifty ships of 'o37' to one thousand 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.

pLa Navy hoarded a large number of them in the first 50 years, and it was pitiful, one of the top five rogues, a super power with a population of more than one billion, the long coastline was guarded by a bunch of mosquito boats.

The nine-dash line on the map of the South China Sea by the flower planters has been drawn to the gates of other countries, but they do not have enough strength to declare sovereignty. Back then, even a country like Vietnam dared to rob us of islands, and even a country like Brunei dared to rob us of oil and gas. It was really outrageous!

Zhou Qingfeng considered that the industrial capacity of his own army was still too weak, and the demand was not small, so he placed an order of 1,000 ships with an uncapped limit. This alarmed the entire pLA navy, not only Liu Chu was so happy that he couldn't find North, even the senior officers at the commander level were surprised.

Someone even came up with an idea: It is not difficult at all to refit a thousand small boats, so quickly ask the other party for a deposit to secure the business. This kind of bullying is still not capped. Even if we clear out our own second-hand goods, we can still go to other countries to get waste products to remodel.

The flower growers really lost their eyes to Qian Qian, and they couldn't move their legs when they saw small Qian Qian. And Zhou Qingfeng has special requirements for his orders, he just wants to be cheap, cheap and cheap. For example, an old torpedo boat with dozens of tons would cost 800,000 yuan to refit.

It's only 800,000 yuan, but you want to install radar radios, machine guns, and repair them like new? In the end, the task of modification planning fell on Liu Chu's head. The lieutenant colonel in charge of selling second-hand goods racked his brains and pressed the calculator fiercely, finally gritted his teeth and admitted.

"This job is done. We don't want too many machine guns in stock. The civilian version is on the radar, and the old model is on the radio. There is still a 25% profit."

We must know that when the navy was poor, it was engaged in business, and it also disposed of some retired torpedo boats to the private sector. The amount that can be processed is small, and it is easy to cause health problems. Now that someone has finally taken care of everything, the navy simply came to see it and just pull it away.

Zhou Qingfeng was quite satisfied with this. He didn't have too many demands on the performance of these ships. Anyway, they were performing coastal patrols and combating pirates, as long as they could be used.

The navy is even more satisfied, which means that it has emptied a large amount of its inventory that can only be used as scrap iron, and sold a large number of expired weapons and ammunition. Funds have also been obtained to revive several small shipyards, thousands of workers have jobs, and the pension funds of a large number of old workers have been settled.

All the best! 8
