Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

The general staff of each country will prepare some operational plans in peacetime, set up an imaginary enemy and an imaginary war, deduce how to mobilize the whole country, how many troops are needed, how to mobilize, how to stockpile materials in advance, etc. When the war really comes, Turn over the plan and change it to use it.

If you take the 1930s as an example, how the German staff's combat plan was to defeat France in one blow.British combat plan A is how to defeat Germany by land and sea, and plan B is how to defeat France by land and sea.France's plan is how to withstand the Germans' full-scale attack or surrender quickly.Japan's combat plan is to advance north or south.China's combat plan is the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression campaign.

The Soviet Union's operational plan is how to defeat the second intervention war launched by the capitalist countries.

The Soviet Union singled out all the capitalist countries in the world, and these countries are still in the state after recovering from the financial difficulties after World War I...

Stalin: "Comrade Chief of Staff, suppose Britain, the United States, France, Japan, China, and Italy deploy 1000 million troops to besiege the Soviet Union from all sides. Now please draw up a battle plan, how to command the Soviet Red Army to defeat the Second Intervention Army. The plan cannot be worked out. You go to Siberia to grow potatoes."

chief of staff:……

However, the Soviet Union at that time was faced with such a possibility.Therefore, after the founding of the Soviet Union, the foreign policy was actually biased, never playing dead, and trying not to provoke the big hooligans of the League of Nations.During World War II, the East and the West joined forces to fight the Nazis. After the end of World War II, the Soviet Union found itself back to the old script of one country singled out capitalist countries all over the world. The difference from the 30s is probably that Eastern Europe has a few more juniors with a combat effectiveness of 5. .

1949 was a pleasant surprise for the Soviet Union.The bottom line of Stalin's original vision of the Eastern situation was that the Middle East Railway-Lvda line was stretched out as a defensive buffer. When the United States came to attack me, the naval and land garrisons on this line could delay the attack and cause more losses to the United States.As a result, the chairman not only took down the entire Northeast, but also took down the entire north of the Yangtze River, and finally the entire mainland of China.

In the second year, the Soviet Union doubled its surprises.This China is different from the small countries in Eastern Europe. It is not just a defensive buffer. This buddy is very capable of fighting.

The land border between China and the Soviet Union is extremely long, and there is a China that can fight on the side of the Soviet Union. The land border of the Soviet Union from the Far East to Central Asia is completely safe.This has changed from the Soviet Union single-handedly besieging all capitalist countries in the world to China and the Soviet Union back-to-back vs. the whole world.

Life isn't that hard anymore, is it?

...But the premise is that China has to establish a complete modern defense industry system.

Although people can be ruthless, it is better to have a black star in hand. You cut people well in North Korea, but the watermelon knife is too low after all.

Moreover, the Soviet Union may not be able to monopolize the weapons and equipment of the Chinese army. China has a large population and a high upper limit for mobilization of the army. The Soviet Union will supply all the weapons, which is really unaffordable.

In 1952, another event that was not too small for the Soviet Union happened: On February 2, Turkey officially joined NATO.

Soviet warships and merchant ships going out from the Black Sea depended on Turkey's face, and now they depend on NATO's face.Not only that, but warships and planes of NATO countries will probably dangle in the Black Sea in the future.

The whole of Europe is on the front line of confrontation. Now Turkey has voted for NATO. The Pahlavi regime in Iran is pro-American, and Afghanistan is also pro-American, but the Soviet Union is trying its best to win over.Further east of the Soviet-Arab border is the Sino-Soviet border.

So Tang Hua knew that Stalin would be happy to see China establish its own defense industry, and there was no question of mutual suspicion between China and the Soviet Union.

……

Kuznetsov: "On the issue of fleet destroyers, our proposal is that Chinese comrades use Type 07 destroyers."

Stalin believed that the five-year plan of the Chinese Navy should be greatly expanded. The embassy in Soviet Union sent a telegram back to China to inquire, and the chairman quickly returned a telegram to express his agreement.After that, the delegation and the Soviet Navy, the General Staff and the National Defense Committee began to confirm the equipment to be introduced in the plan one by one.

Kuznetsov and Dmitrievich of the Soviet Naval Staff once again studied the revised naval plan of Tang Hua and Commander Xiao, and the first thing to be finalized was the destroyer introduction plan.

Dmitrievich: "We have a total of 07 Type 12 destroyers in active service in the Pacific Fleet, and we intend to transfer 4 of them to you at a time."

Commander Xiao: "The Type 07 destroyers of the Pacific Fleet have served in the Soviet Navy for 12 to 13 years, and they have just experienced wars during their service period. According to common sense, this batch of destroyers should have relatively large wear and tear."

Dmitrievich: "There is some wear and tear. But before handing over to China, we will conduct a complete overhaul of the Type 07 destroyer and make some modifications."

Tang Hua: "Comrade Dmitrievich, I believe that after the modification, the Type 07 can be restored to a good combat state, but I see the information you provided... The total price of the four Type 4 destroyers is 07 million rubles. This is too difficult for us. Our central government can only allocate 2 million rubles for the navy. If we need to spend more money, it must be in the form of a loan, and the loan will have to be repaid sooner or later."

Dmitrievich: "These four warships, which have been in use for 12 to 13 years, should not be worth such a high price, but before they are handed over to China, we will carry out a major overhaul and modernization of these four ships. The dock has been in dock for more than 9 months, overhauling the power system, fully replacing the worn-out gun barrels and turrets on the ship, adopting new secondary guns, installing radar, replacing brand new torpedo tubes, etc. These equipment are very expensive things.”

Tang Hua: "The destroyers purchased directly from the Soviet Union are transitional products of our navy's destroyers. After several years of use, up to 10 years, we may build surface warships in our own shipyards to replace Type 07. I also learned that the Soviet Navy is The shipyards in Amur are busy building new destroyers. My suggestion is that you do a 07-month dry-docking of the Type 3 destroyer, overhaul the power system, and then hand over the ship to us. Hope so The total price of the four destroyers can be controlled at 4 to 1.4 million rubles."

Dmitrievich: "You seem to have calculated it before. ... If only the power system is overhauled, then it is true that it only needs to occupy the dock for 3 months. But I must explain to you that the Type 07 destroyers of the Pacific Fleet The main guns have fired about 300 rounds, and the barrel life is 450 rounds; the torpedo launchers are on the middle deck, where it is easy to be soaked by sea water, and these torpedo tubes have been installed and used on the ship for 10 years... ...Although the Soviet Navy is building new destroyers, our own Type 07 destroyers still plan to continue serving for another 10 years, and are now planning to do a nine-month dry-docking overhaul and transformation.”

Kuznetsov: "You may consider having a second modification of the Type 07 destroyer in your own shipyard to save foreign exchange. When talking about torpedo boats, you mentioned that China has small anti-ship missiles. It seems that It is intended to replace the 533mm heavy torpedo. ...Where are the Chinese comrades planning to modify the Type 07 destroyer?"

Lin Taizhen: "Dalian."

Kuznetsov: "Then we need to upgrade the technology of Dalian's shipbuilding enterprises. According to previous experience, the cost of technology upgrade is not low, and there may still be a lot of equipment to be purchased from the Soviet Union. The price of these equipment may also be close to 5000 yuan. Ten thousand rubles."

Lin Taizhen: "The shipyard equipment can be used in other places after the Type 07 destroyer is transformed. This is a long-term investment. Although we don't spend much money now, we can gradually save money in the future."

……

Finally, the two sides negotiated the destroyer contract. 1.48 million rubles, 5200 million immediate savings.In the future, the Chinese Navy's "Anshan" class Four King Kong will still come.

This is basically a good result... The torpedo tubes have been soaked in sea water for 10 years. When they drove back to China, Tang Hua dismantled them all when they entered the dock.For anti-ship missiles.

The anti-ship missile was replaced with a 533mm unguided torpedo. As for the severely worn main gun, a room full of spare 130mm naval gun barrels will be found in the Dalian base handed over by the Soviet Union.Besides, during the transformation in Dalian, it is very likely that a single-tube 1mm main gun will be removed and an air defense missile system will be installed.The costly shipboard radar installed in the overhaul plan planned by the Soviet Union can also be omitted. Although the domestic radar is saved, it can be used with certainty.

"You will get good news today," Dmitrievich said, "We will not provide you with outdated products for the frigate. The Type 50 frigate, the latest thousand-ton frigate of the Soviet Union, was launched in February this year. The construction started in Nikolayev. The caliber of the main gun is slightly smaller than that of the destroyer, it is 2 mm, and there is one less torpedo tube, but it is very useful for offshore defense. We are preparing to build a large number of it. According to your intention , using parts made in the Soviet Union and assembling in Shanghai, there is no problem. The Type 100 frigate suggests that the Chinese comrades purchase a total of 50 ships in two batches of 8 ships. In addition, although the Type 4 frigate is a new type of frigate, it is better than the 50 Type destroyers are cheap. If you buy parts and assemble them in your own shipyard, you only need to pay 07 million rubles for each ship."

Type 50 frigate, "Riga" class.This ship will be called 6601 in Chinese hands, "Chengdu" class.Like the "Four King Kong", it was later equipped with anti-ship missiles by China and turned into a guided missile frigate.

"If you want to modify the Type 07 destroyer yourself, you can also order 8 more torpedo launchers in this trade order for modification at your shipyard." Dmitrievich said.

"No, we still intend to install anti-ship missiles where the torpedo tubes would be."

……

In the original history, the negotiations from April to June 1952 were chaotic. After that, Commander Xiao came again in August to September and at the end of the year, and again in 4. Only on June 6, 8 Sign the introduction contract, the full name is "Agreement on Naval Delivery and Technical Assistance to China in the Construction of Warships". Because of the date of signing the agreement, it is often called "Sino-Soviet 9 Agreement".

……

This time the negotiation felt much smoother. The senior Soviet navy didn’t shake their heads and cover their faces when they saw China’s five-year plan and said, “You guys are so unprofessional.” The Chinese side didn’t mention some weird ideas that the Soviet Union couldn’t even do. .It turns out that in historical negotiations, Commander Xiao went to the Soviet Union three times. In the first two times, the General Staff of the Soviet Navy actually taught China how to implement the five-year plan for naval construction.

But now the Sino-Soviet delegation is mediocre, sorting out one by one.When the price was particularly aggressive, Commander Xiao rolled on the ground to fight for it.When the Soviet Union felt that it was "too advanced for you to use", Tang Hua spent half a day explaining to Kuznetsov why he had to get this thing.

……

"I thought the negotiations would take a month or two, but in less than three weeks, a preliminary draft agreement was reached on nine major items. It didn't cost 9 billion rubles, only 10 million in total." Commander Xiao said, "And There are not many adjustments to be made, including the items we added after the temporary budget increase in Moscow, and it was passed all the way."

Tang Hua: "It's best if everything goes well. If the estimates are correct, this agreement can be officially signed when Premier or Vice Premier Chen comes to the Soviet Union in August or September."

Commander Xiao: "The comrades in the navy in the delegation will divide into two groups from now on. Luo Shunchu and I will each lead a team to inspect the Black Sea Fleet and the Northern Fleet. Tang Hua, are you going to continue in Moscow, in the Soviet Union? Academy of Sciences giving them... lectures?"

"Don't overdo it...it's the annual laser physics meeting of the Soviet Academy of Sciences. Everyone sits together and discusses it. I'm not going to give a lecture. Now Mr. Zhao Zhongyao is working on a topic and I can't get away from it. I happen to be in Moscow, so I'm here to participate. .”

When Xiao and Luo came to the Soviet Union, in addition to signing contracts to buy things, they also had to inspect several major Soviet fleets to find out how modern large fleets are managed, how they operate, how they fight, how to build military ports, how to arrange berths, Degaussing docks, repairing floating docks, how to configure tugboats, port ships, and surface and underwater security and air defense in the port area...

All of these have to be learned from scratch.

……

"Good morning, Dean Nesmeyanov."

Tang Hua first met Nesmeyanov, the new president of the Soviet Academy of Sciences.

Uncle Vavilov, the former dean and an old acquaintance of Tang Hua, escaped a heart attack in 1951. After all, in 1952, he had a sudden attack and went to meet Marx with a vodka bottle.

"Hi Tang Hua, we met before."

"Yes, I have seen it twice, once at the plenary meeting of the Academy of Sciences, and once at Moscow State University last February, when you invited me to give a lecture on computer technology."

Nesmeyanov nodded, "Tomorrow I will attend the opening ceremony of the Laser Physics Conference, but I will not attend the rest of the agenda."
