Chapter 250 Lin Chenran: How about a light aircraft carrier?
Lin Chenran smiled and enthusiastically introduced Pan Xueming, the chief designer of the Aegis guided missile destroyer, to Abdul.
Pan Xueming was seen wearing a set of neat work clothes, with a focused and serious expression, revealing a sense of professionalism and confidence.
Pan Xueming cleared his throat and began to introduce the export version of the Aegis guided missile destroyer in detail to the representatives from Saudi Arabia in the Camel region.
He started from the overall design concept of the ship and gradually explained its advanced technologies and unique performance in depth.
Following Pan Xueming's in-depth and simple introduction, the members of the Saudi delegation from the Camel Region were fascinated, and their eyes flashed with excitement and surprise from time to time.
They had only heard about this new type of warship, but now through Pan Xueming's vivid description, they seemed to have witnessed the majestic appearance of the Aegis guided missile destroyer galloping across the sea.
After an exciting introduction, the members of the Saudi delegation in the Camel region had a clearer and more intuitive understanding of the Aegis guided missile destroyer.
They couldn't help but sigh at the powerful strength displayed by this battleship, and there was a strong desire in their hearts to purchase it and return it to their country immediately to equip their own navy.
The Aegis guided missile destroyer indeed has excellent performance that is not inferior to the top guided missile destroyers of other major powers.
Whether it is in terms of attack power, air defense capabilities, anti-missile capabilities or defense against torpedo attacks, it performs extremely well.
Even the powerful missile destroyers of Yingjiang and Mao Xiong may not have an absolute advantage in front of this warship.
Faced with such an advanced Aegis missile destroyer, the Saudi delegation in the Camel region could not help but marvel at the rapid development of the Yan Kingdom's shipbuilding industry.
The year before last, they had questioned Yanguo's ability to build first-class warships for themselves because they did not yet have top-notch shipbuilding technology.
However, times have changed, and the results now presented in front of them have completely subverted their previous perceptions.
As the saying goes, "After three days of separation, you should look at each other with new eyes."
……
Abdul and his companions did not make a hasty decision. After careful consideration, they made a special request to Lin Chenran - hoping to see the Aegis guided missile destroyer with their own eyes.
It is best to board the Yanguo Navy's "Linjiang" Aegis guided missile destroyer, and if possible, arrange a test experiment.
This request seems simple, but in fact it contains many complex factors.
Hearing Abdul's words, Lin Chenran couldn't help but frowned, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Abdel, you are really making me feel very troubled and embarrassed!"
He paused for a moment and then said: "If you just want to see the Aegis guided missile destroyer under construction, then after this meeting is over, I can take you there in person."
"But if you want to see the Aegis guided missile destroyers that are already in service in our navy, it's not that easy." At this point, Lin Chenran shook his head gently.
For this highly confidential and strategically important military equipment, access and observation by outsiders are usually strictly restricted.
Want to see it?
Add money! ! !
As long as you pay enough, everything will be easy.
Abdul and others seemed to have expected this. They knew very well that as long as Lin Chenran did not refuse categorically on the spot, it meant that there was still room for negotiation.
They had dealt with Lin Chenran many times and knew the ropes well.
As long as you pay enough "favor fee", he can help you get it done.
"Lin, you can rest assured that as long as you can arrange for us to board the Linjiang Aegis guided missile destroyer of your Yan Kingdom Navy for a visit, we, the Saudi Kingdom, will never let you suffer."
As Abdul spoke, he secretly winked at Lin Chenran, implying that he would give generous rewards in exchange for this rare opportunity.
It seems to be saying, if you let us board the Aegis guided missile destroyer "Linjiang" for a visit, we, the Saudi Arabian Kingdom in the Camel Region, will give you a free "facilitation fee." Lin Chenran frowned, with the embarrassed look still on his face, but his tone of voice was obviously more relaxed: "Abdul, this matter is indeed a bit tricky, but considering our many years of friendship, For your sake, I will try my best to fight for it!”
Lin Chenran continued: "When this meeting is over, I will immediately organize the relevant situation and report it to my superiors, but I cannot guarantee the final result..."
Having said this, Lin Chenran paused, glanced at everyone present, and then helplessly spread his hands and continued: "Everyone here also knows that our country has too many old warships."
"At present, only the Aegis guided-missile destroyer Linjiang can really play a role and support the important task of coastal defense."
"In addition to taking a breather during regular maintenance and repairs, the Aegis guided-missile destroyer Linjiang has to go out on patrol non-stop most of the time to protect our country's vast maritime borders."
Hearing this, Abdul, who had been staring closely at Lin Chenran, finally relaxed his tense nerves a little. He responded with a smile: "No problem, I know you can do it."
At the same time, the members of the Saudi delegation from the camel region sitting next to Abdul also relaxed their faces as if they were relieved.
Their eyes shone with anticipation, and the corners of their mouths turned up unconsciously.
……
After the introduction of the Aegis guided missile destroyer, the next step is the main event.
Lin Chenran: "Abdul, do you want a light aircraft carrier from Saudi Arabia?"
Abdul and other Saudi delegations from the Camel Region were instantly surprised when they heard this.
"What? Lin, did you just say light aircraft carrier?"
Abdul asked again in disbelief.
Lin Chenran smiled slightly and nodded.
Aircraft carriers are powerful warships that many navies yearn for.
Not to mention the Saudi Arabian Kingdom in the Camel Region, the Yan Kingdom Navy has an aircraft carrier "complex".
In other words, every country has an "aircraft carrier dream."
"Lin, you didn't lie to me?"
"Does your 704 shipyard have the ability to build aircraft carriers?"
"Although it is a bit presumptuous, but your country does not have an aircraft carrier?"
Abdul confirmed to the other party again and again.
After all, the Yan Kingdom Navy does not have an aircraft carrier in its hands.
Now it is only supported by one Aegis guided missile destroyer "Linjiang".
Lin Chenran responded with a smile: "Abdel, whether our country has an aircraft carrier has no direct relationship with whether our 704 Shipyard can build a light aircraft carrier."
"Our country needs to concentrate on economic development. The navy does not have much military expenditure, and even if it wants to purchase an aircraft carrier, it does not have enough military expenditure."
"But your camel region, Saudi Arabia, is different."
"I assure you that our 704 Shipyard has enough strength to build a light aircraft carrier."
