reborn as an official

Mr. Lin took a look at Xu Li and said, "How do you know that we don't want to build an aircraft carrier? The chairman once pointed out that the shipbuilding industry must be vigorously developed, a large number of ships must be built, and a maritime 'railway' should be built in order to build a powerful aircraft carrier in the next few years." Maritime combat power. Prime Minister Enlai once said with emotion: Our Nansha and Xisha are occupied by South Vietnam. Without aircraft carriers, we can’t let the Chinese navy fight with bayonets. I have been engaged in military affairs and politics all my life, but I haven’t seen China’s aircraft carriers yet. I am not willing to see an aircraft carrier! In the past few years, we were restricted by economic and technological conditions and did not have the ability, but some of our technical departments have not been idle, and we have already carried out research on some necessary technologies for aircraft carriers , Relevant departments have already begun to think of ways to build our own aircraft carrier. But this is a long-term and arduous process! You know the Russian Varyag, it should be parked in Helian now, and the related secret modification work has already begun , In five to ten years, this aircraft carrier will take on a new look and become our first aircraft carrier!"

After Xu Li heard this, he was both happy and somewhat disappointed. According to Mr. Lin, the aircraft carrier construction plan had already started, but it would take five to ten years until the first aircraft carrier was launched into service. How powerful?In order to realize the all-weather strategic duty throughout the year, at least three aircraft carrier formations are needed, so if the aircraft carrier can truly form combat effectiveness, I am afraid that I can see through it!

Xu Li didn't want to wait so long, and said anxiously: "Grandpa, it may not be ten years but 20 years after the refitting of the Varyag is completed, and it will take [-] years. Now even my country and India have their own aircraft carriers. Existing technology cannot build a new aircraft carrier?"

"As far as the aircraft carrier is concerned, although there are still some difficulties in related technologies, they can be overcome, but the most important problem is not the aircraft carrier itself, but the fighters that match it! You should also know that the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier itself is basically zero. It is reflected in the fighter jets it carries, but compared with foreign advanced fighter jets, the fighter jets currently in service in our country are backward in technology, equipment, and combat power. If the existing fighter jets are used on the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier may not be a deterrent. It's a pair of iron coffins, meeting the enemy in the vast sea, what a disaster!

In addition, the funds used by our country for military construction are also limited. In recent years, the modernization and digitalization of the army has been vigorously strengthened, and the development of a new generation of fighter jets has been accelerated. The funds invested in the navy are already limited.And it is impossible for us to give up our original advantages, give up the construction of submarines, and turn them all to aircraft carriers.Moreover, a fleet of aircraft carriers needs at least 100 billion US dollars from construction to formation. Taking the United States as an example, even if my country reduces various expenses, it will need at least 40 to [-] billion US dollars. If it is true to build three or more aircraft carrier formations in one go, There is greater pressure on funding, which has also slowed down the pace of aircraft carrier construction.But I believe that as our country’s economy develops day by day, after the first aircraft carrier is launched into service, various technologies will become increasingly mature, and our aircraft carrier formation will soon expand, breaking the first island chain, and realizing the goal of going to the deep sea is not far away! "Old Lin couldn't help being a little emotional at the end, waving his arms.

"Grandpa, I don't understand technical issues, but I do have some money, so I don't know if I can help!" Xu Li tentatively said.

Elder Lin glanced at Xu Li and said, "I know you are rich, otherwise you wouldn't have bought a villa in England. But the funds needed to build an aircraft carrier are in the unit of [-] million, and they are in US dollars! How much can you give? "Mr. Lin is not very clear about Xu Li's family background. Unlike the Qi family, he has really seen Xu Li spend money like water. At that time, the Qi family had insufficient funds and had to deal with pressure from all sides. At that time, Xu Li spent tens of billions at a time. But Without blinking an eye!

"I have an idea, grandpa, see if it works!"

Elder Lin nodded. He also knew that Xu Li had good intentions. No matter how much money he could give, at least Xu Li's patriotic feelings made Elder Lin very pleased.

"In addition to being able to donate part of myself, I also have many friends abroad. Most of them are overseas Chinese, and they all have a heart to serve the country. If they know that the country is going to build an aircraft carrier, I believe they will also donate generously. It's just that I am worried about the money. Can it be used on the steel blade in the end, if it is embezzled or embezzled..."

Elder Lin couldn't help but feel a little amused by Xu Li's worry, and said, "No matter how many friends you have, how much can you give? Compared with the country's investment, your money is very little! Moreover, the construction of aircraft carriers is the key point of our country's national defense construction. The entire army is watching, anyone who dares to make a mistake on this issue will be courting death!"

Xu Li is still a little worried. These years in the army are no longer as pure as they were decades ago. In the army, if they want to join the party and be promoted, the grassroots cadres below will clearly mark the price. If their own money is used to feed these moths , it is better to keep the money in your own hands, at least to ensure that the money will be used where it should be used.

"Grandpa, do you think it is possible to set up a special fund and send a special person to check the relevant accounts to ensure that the money will not be lost or embezzled?"

Mr. Lin was already a little impatient, and said: "Set up a special fund? Who will take care of it? At present, the construction of an aircraft carrier is still a problem. If outsiders supervise the money, leaks will inevitably occur. Who will bear the responsibility? You still say that you can get it together after all. How much is it, if it’s less, then there’s no need for such trouble!”

Xu Li summed it up secretly in his heart. Although he didn't pay much attention to the operation of the Storm Fund recently, at the end of last year, Yu Liang and Sun Ji called everyone together and gave a brief explanation of the company's operation last year.In the past few years, the Storm Fund has been a huge gold-absorbing monster. By the end of last year, its total assets had reached 3000 trillion US dollars. This is because Xu Li repeatedly warned Yu Liang and Sun Ji to act in a low-key manner to avoid attracting foreign forces. hatred.Since the beginning of this year, Storm Fund has invested most of its funds in the real estate industry and high-tech industries, and has secretly acquired more than a dozen of the world's top [-] companies. Currently, its liquidity is limited.But Xu Li believes that if it is for national construction, the brothers Yu Liang, Sun Ji, Xiang Long, Li Bin, and Wang Tao will never say anything!

"Now we have limited liquidity, and we should only be able to provide about 50 billion in the first year..."

"50 billion?" Mr. Lin's eyes widened after hearing this, and he couldn't believe it. "You mean five billion?"

"50 billion, US dollars! In the second year, we should be able to raise about 100 billion, and then we can provide 20 billion in operating and research expenses every year!" Xu Li believes that with the ability of the Storm Fund to attract money and the wisdom of his brothers, he can get more money every year. 20 billion should not be a problem. ro! .
