What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 109: Stress civilization and establish new trends

Giant Group's influence is really strong.

As soon as the article was published in Ming Pao, it caused a stir in the Second Swan City.

Several local newspapers also published the news, and even television stations began to mention it.

Regarding Shi Juzhu's purchase of an aircraft carrier, there are currently two camps:

One group believes that Shi Juzhu was really doing it for hype and bought the aircraft carrier with the intention of turning it into a spectacular headquarters.

After all, the Giant Building that dragged Giant Group into the mud pit was built because of his vanity. He increased the height from more than 40 meters at the beginning to 78 floors, claiming to build it into the tallest building in the country. The budget project increased sixfold to 12 billion yuan.

Can 12 billion buy an aircraft carrier? Most people would definitely think it is more than enough, and it is much cheaper than a high-rise building.

If Shi Juzhu gave up the Giant Building and instead bought an aircraft carrier, the most anxious people might not even be the shareholders who bought the property in advance, but the Zhucheng authorities.

Zhucheng approved 20,000 square meters of land to support Giant, and just after laying the foundation - forget it?
The "experts" on TV said that Shi Juzhu might just be talking and it cannot be really bought.

After all, although Shi Juzhu is very famous, there are even more people who don't believe in him, and many people think that Shi Juzhu will fall.

The second group is the optimists, who believe that Shi Juzhu is a business tycoon and must have bought the aircraft carrier to donate it to the country. Anyway, as long as it is towed back to the country, the navy's hope of having another aircraft carrier will increase.

In fact, there is a reason for this kind of thinking: in 85, the country purchased the retired Melbourne from Australia.

Melbourne is a "Dignity" class aircraft carrier that served in the British during World War II. Although the hull is very old and the technology is outdated, it has undergone continuous modernization and even retained the steam catapult.

This aircraft carrier can effectively help the navy figure out how an aircraft carrier should be designed and how it should operate.

Last year, South Korea's Daewoo Group bought the Type 1143 Minsk and planned to convert it into a formal aircraft carrier, but was forced to sell it domestically due to the economic crisis the following year.

After the Chinese government took possession of the Minsk, they evaluated its condition: it might be because the hull was not suitable, or it might be because they wanted to introduce a better Varyag. After some research, they finally gave up on renovating the Minsk and opened it to the public as an aircraft carrier park.

Later, the country purchased another Type 1143, which means a total of four aircraft carriers. The determination is obvious.

Buying an aircraft carrier is what everyone wants. Optimists certainly believe that this aircraft carrier will really be purchased and put into service.

When Tang Wen opened the BBS again, the discussion about this matter immediately became the mainstream on the forum.

Originally, he only created the military version for his own love, but now people have taken the initiative to upload the sketches of the Varyag and discuss how to modify it after returning to China.

I have to say that Shi Juzhu is really amazing. He dared to call for buying an aircraft carrier based on Tang Wen’s words, but what’s the next step?

Tang Wen was browsing the BBS posts when he saw one that said:

[Feng Ling: Does anyone know the contact information for Giant Group? We should donate. Ten million netizens can probably come up with 100 million, right?]

Tang Wen took a deep breath and his face became serious.

After hesitating for a moment, he directly used his authority to delete the post.

Not to mention that his kindness might be exploited and lead to fraud, even if Tang Wen really wanted to donate, he wouldn't want to do so.

As long as Shi Juzhu is not crazy, he will definitely not accept these private fundraising efforts.

You can take funds raised from foundations and other wealthy businessmen, but you must never take this.

But deep down, Tang Wen was not optimistic about purchasing the Varyag.

After the Varyag entered the country, it took 10 years to be renovated and put into service, and it was put into use in 2012.

Since the construction stopped in 1992, it has been submerged in sea water for 30 years.

Although it has not been used, it can be seen from the low attendance rate after entering service that the condition of the ship is not as good as imagined.

Moreover, this is a ski-jump aircraft carrier, which can neither allow carrier-based aircraft to take off with full fuel and ammunition, nor can it carry out enough sorties.

But Tangwen Shipyard expanded its technological scope to the 60s. What does this mean?
The 56-ton Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier was laid down in 60 and launched in , just in time. If you ignore the difference in electronics, the Kitty Hawk performs similarly to the Hu Jian, with a similar tonnage and a steam catapult.

The C13 steam catapult used by the Kitty Hawk is not only used by the USS Kitty Hawk itself, but also exported to France. Even the Nimitz class uses its improved model.

The C13 catapult can even launch an F14, so it will never be outdated. It only requires 30 experience points to develop, and the entire Kitty Hawk only requires 160 million experience points. It can be obtained after unlocking the super aircraft carrier United States.

Rather than waiting for more than ten years for the Varyag to be transformed, it is better to accumulate a few years of experience and then make a little eagle for the navy to play with.

If all else fails, you can first pick out the C13 catapult, and then drag out the Essex and Bumblebee to make some modifications.

It's so embarrassing to give such a huge amount of money to the Russians.

Thinking of this, Tang Wen began to output soft articles:
[Tang Jia Da Shao: I think the "Valliang" aircraft carrier will never be put into service again!!!]

[Tang Jia Da Shao: First of all, the hull of the "Varyag" aircraft carrier was pre-built, so there is not much opportunity for improvement in China. For example, the Granit missile with a range of 550 kilometers, China does not have it, and the carrier-based aircraft Su-33, China does not have it...]

[Tang Jia Da Shao: No one said it would be re-entered...it was all hype from abroad]

[Tang Jia Da Shao: Aircraft carriers have very high requirements for support ships. I think they are not as good as the arsenal ships in the full-band jamming. They feel very powerful, and one ship can form combat effectiveness.]

Tang Wen first criticized the Varyag from various angles, saying that its design was incomplete and the hull had defects. He then cited classics and opposed it from the perspective of domestic reconstruction capabilities. In short, he poured a bucket of cold water on the ship first.

After finishing the editing, he logged into several larger forums and moved the post content there.

……

"Brother Tang, is your resort ready?"

The person who called was Huang Dongfu. The Fudong is still docked for rest and recuperation.

After being delivered to Fudong Fisheries, their first short trip to the sea did not yield much, as the main purpose was still to run in the new boat.

Although the steam fishing boat is a true alternative, once you experience the 19-knot high-speed racing, you will be addicted to it. It is now a star ship in the port.

They have long been prepared for their next trip to the sea, and plan to join forces with Da Wan Fisheries to catch a big catch in the waters near Luzon.

But Tang Wen said he would send a boat to help, so the matter was delayed for a few days.

Tang Wen naturally knew his true purpose. After a few polite words, he glanced at the progress of the shipyard:
Nicholas Modified (M-series V-class): 7 days 22 hours/8 days

The escort ship, the Nicholas, was about to be completed, refueled and repainted, and would be ready to go to sea as soon as Halsey boarded.

The improved version of Nicholas is being built at the second-level shipyard. There are two fishing boats waiting to be delivered in that giant dock, as well as the Yahagi, which has also been modified.

Tang Wen plans to delay the two fishing boats for 40 days before handing them over, and the Yahagi will be towed back to the port at night to serve as a mascot.

The middle part of the Yahagi, which was renovated according to the previous "mobile sea hotel" concept, has changed significantly. In addition, a real "fake turret" has been installed: all the internal structures of the original turret have been removed, and even the gun barrel has been replaced with an ordinary steel pipe, so that the appearance can fool tourists.

In addition, a new generator was added to the power compartment to provide power for the decorative lights added throughout the battleship, allowing the Yahagi to clearly outline itself at night.

Tang Wen and Huang Dongfu confirmed that they could go out to sea tonight, and immediately informed Chen Yonggui, who also agreed.

As the most valuable collective property of Dayuan Village, the maiden voyage of Eyu 4402 will be led by the village chief himself. However, since he is an old seaman who is both young and experienced, there is no problem.

The Nicholas is also a registered fishing vessel, with the number Eyu4516.

However, as a warship produced by the shipyard, Tang Wen still named it.

The Nicholas was developed from an aerial destroyer leader and should be positioned as a large destroyer. However, considering that it is only 2200 tons, its name should be low-key.

Tang Wen thought for a moment, and finally painted the word "civilization" on the side of the ship.

Promote civility and set new trends. Let the Civilization bring a new atmosphere of harmony to the South China Sea.
