Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 276 Win-win!

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

This Type 70 destroyer, which was only put into service in the 051s and has been retired long ago, is surprisingly in line with the actual situation in the world of Beijing.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is a promising idea.

Therefore, without waiting for Ximen Lang, who was completely unfamiliar with the Type 051 destroyer and was completely confused, to express his opinion, Xia Yiyi directly began to introduce it to him.

"Even though it's retired now, it was our main battleship back then! It was also our first independently designed and built missile destroyer! A true naval heirloom!"

"Of course, compared to the big guys nowadays, it's definitely a little small. But even though it's small, it's still cute! The key is that it's perfectly adapted to the situation over there! Just look at its various parameters and you'll understand."

As he spoke, Xia Yiyi introduced the specific parameters of the Type 051 destroyer to Ximen Lang.

"The Type 051 destroyer is 132 meters long, 12.8 meters wide, has a draft of 4.6 meters, a standard displacement of 3250 tons, and a full-load displacement of 3670 tons."

"Two steam turbine engines, twin-shaft, twin-propeller design, with an output of 72000 horsepower and a maximum speed of 36 knots."

“2座三联装“海鹰”反舰导弹发射装置，2座76式双联装130毫米舰炮，4座双联装57毫米高炮，4座双管25毫米机关炮，2座12管火箭式深水炸弹发射器.”

After the introduction, Ximen Lang turned up his nose at these somewhat shabby parameters.

He just spoke.

"3670 tons of displacement fully loaded? Even the Type 054 frigate has more than that! And all those 57mm and 25mm guns, it sounds like a joke."

"It's not that there aren't good ones. There are some good ones! The 1130 close-in weapon system, each armor-piercing round costs 1000, and one minute of fire costs 1000 million! Do you want one? Can you afford it?"

"Can't afford it"

“Yes!”

Ximen Lang was so angry that he kept silent.

Xia Yiyi continued.

"It depends on the compatibility, sir! I'd like to give you something better, but good things require a very high technical threshold! Consequently, the cost will be much higher!"

"I'm just going to bite the bullet and give it to you. You can't play with it, and you can't afford to fight it. What are you buying it for? Are you going to leave it at the harbor as a decoration?"

"Unlike our Type 051, which can be used as soon as it is driven over, it is cheap and affordable, and can also scare people! I can't say anything else, but protecting a few fishing boats is definitely enough!"

"Besides, didn't we get through this the same way back then? Even without these advanced warships, we were able to defend our territorial waters for decades."

After hearing these words, Ximen Lang completely changed his opinion of the Type 051 destroyer!
The attitude immediately changed from disdain to an eagerness to own it.

He even wanted to drive these destroyers away today!
It seems that Ximen Lang really does what he wants.

Xia Yiyi said with a headache.

"I've already told you, it's been retired for four years! Even if you want to sell it, you have to wait until I fix it, right? Also, is your port ready? You want it! Have you figured out where to put it after you get it back?"

Two very realistic questions in succession made Ximen Lang fall silent immediately.

I turned my back and searched for information on the main river channels around Tianjin in 55.
Then, Ximen Lang, who was already silent, became even more depressed.

There is no other reason.

Because in 55, the river channel of Tianjin could only accommodate small cargo ships of 40 tons. Yes, once the ship exceeded 40 tons, it would not be able to operate due to the limitations of water depth and width.

Isn't this nonsense?
No matter how bad our Type 051 destroyer is, it is still a serious large warship!
And those ocean-going fishing boats, big or small, I can also sail in the ocean!
Is this something you little sailboats can just randomly do?
Ximen Lang was full of confidence in the route from Tianjin to Bohai Sea, but before it even started, it suddenly became impossible to pass. What should he do?
After much thought, there is no good solution.

Helpless, Ximen Lang had no choice but to face reality.

"Yes, you're right. I really need to think about it and have a good discussion with them about where to put such a big thing."

Changing the subject, Ximen Lang began to argue about quantity again.

"I can temporarily not do that, to give everyone enough time to prepare. But regarding the quantity."

"Don't even think about it! Just having these few ships is the result of turning the warehouse upside down! Even with these, I don't know if they can be repaired!"

"You want more? They're all scrapped. We've taken everything that can be taken apart. Where can I find more for you?"

"But don't we have production capacity? Can you restore it?"

"Just for these few small orders from you, I'm going to revive a production line that's been abandoned for decades? Are you kidding me?"

Don’t even think about restoring production capacity.

Even if we move all the production lines to the Sijiu City World and let them build it themselves like they built the J-6, it would not be cost-effective!

Because the properties of the warship alone have determined that it cannot be mass-produced!

"We are so powerful, but how many ships can we produce in a year? How many ships can we produce? Just for these ten or twenty orders, we have to build a production line."

"It's all well and good if you can sell it. But what if you can't? Wouldn't that mean you'd lose everything? This is a real loss-making business! You're so smart, can you do it?"

"Then I definitely can't do it!"

"That's right! So, let's just use these warships to deal with it first. Take it slow and develop slowly. When you're technologically advanced and our production capacity has increased, I'll just buy you a few Type 052 export versions! That's what we call affordable, that's what we do!"

In fact, there are more affordable ones.

That is.
"Why don't you just stop wasting your time and energy on building warships? Have you seen the more than 800 warships we have, big and small? That's right, just pick up the ones we have left."

"It's just perfect. Our navy is changing every day. Some of them are clearly outdated and their technological level doesn't meet the requirements of modern warfare. Depending on the situation, I'll just retire them and replace them with new ones!"

"This way, not only can they profit, but we can also lighten our load and develop more advanced weapons and equipment! It's a win-win situation, what a promising future!"

Yes, all the information has been circulated in the world of Sijiu City. No matter what it is, it can be used there, and it can be put to great use.

The burden on this side was suddenly greatly reduced in later generations.

Wouldn't it be possible to move forward with ease and develop rapidly?
"But you always let them pick up the junk we replaced. Even though they are really good, really excellent. But this is not nice. Don't they deserve something good, something new?"

The most important thing is that if this happens, they will be completely dependent on future generations in terms of military power.

No matter what you do, you have to consider the fate of future generations.

"Will they agree to this?"
