Chapter 187: Private Armed Su Family Army: Building the Three Armies of the Navy, Land and Air Force! Spend a lot of money to buy a warship [fourth change, please subscribe].
True, neither cruisers nor destroyers are cheap.
Although Su Zheng has two tons of gold, if he wants to buy cruisers and destroyers at this stage in large quantities, this is definitely not enough money.
Not to mention that Su Zheng also had to buy AK47 rifles, RPG-7 rocket launchers, T-34 tanks, MiG-15 fighters, Katyusha rocket launchers, DK heavy machine guns and DPM light machine guns.
Two tons of gold is not enough.
Su Zheng looked at Oxsky with a slight smile and said: “General Oksky, I know that the current cruisers and destroyers are not cheap, but I want to ask your country about the destroyers or cruisers built in the late World War II or built in the fifties, this should be decommissioned, right?” ”
“I’m going to buy a destroyer or cruiser from around the forties and fifties.”
The destroyers and cruisers of the forties and fifties have basically been decommissioned, and the performance and technology have long been out of step with the development of the times, and if the destroyers and cruisers of the forties and fifties are pulled out to confront the modern navy, then they are proper living targets.
But now to buy destroyers and cruisers of the forties and fifties, for 1924, it was more than enough, it was quite enough.
And it’s still in a crushed state.
The most important thing is… Now destroyers and cruisers decommissioned in the forties and fifties are cheaper. Do big things with small money.
As long as it’s cheap enough.
If you buy the most advanced destroyers and cruisers, these two tons of gold really can’t buy anything.
Oxsky heard that Su was about to buy destroyers and cruisers from the forties and fifties, and immediately smiled and said, “Okay… If Mr. Su were to buy decommissioned destroyers and cruisers, there would be no big problem. ”
“I will definitely give you a very good price… Guaranteed to satisfy you. ”
Su Zheng: “Then it couldn’t be better… I also hope to cooperate with General Oakes. ”
Oksky looked at Su Zheng and said, “Mr. Su, don’t hide from you… It is not impossible that you want to buy destroyers and cruisers from the forties and fifties. ”
“But because of the relatively old age, many of them were retired in sixty or seventy, so there are not many destroyers and cruisers left to the present that can be used normally, and there are only the Red Caucasus heavy cruisers and Type 56A destroyers that can be used, and there are not many of them, that is, there are four in total.”
The Red Caucasus heavy cruiser, the first heavy cruiser in the Soviet Navy, was converted from the successor ship of the “Svilana” class light cruiser “Admiral Lazarev” that began construction in 1913.
At the beginning, the Red Caucasus heavy cruiser had a total length of 169.5 meters, a width of 15.7 meters, and a draft of 6.6 meters; the standard displacement reached 7480 tons, the full load displacement was 9030 tons, the establishment was 880 personnel, and four 180-mm main guns, four 100-mm secondary guns, two 76-mm anti-aircraft guns, four 8-mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and 12 533-mm launch tubes.
Later, according to the needs of the battle and the upgrade of the battleship, the ship was equipped with two 100-mm “Minizny” anti-aircraft guns, in addition to 10 37-mm Type 70-K semi-automatic cannons, a pair of torpedo tubes in the rear were removed, and one Mk3 4-mount 12.7 mm machine gun was installed on the B and X turrets, as well as a 20-mm “Erlikon” machine gun.
By 1944, the anti-aircraft armament of the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus had increased to 12 100 mm guns [6 twin mounts], 2 76 mm guns [2 single-barreled], 4 45 mm guns [4 single-barreled], 10 37-mm guns [10 single-barreled], 8 12.7mm machine guns, and several 20mm guns.
This firepower is certainly not a drop in the modern Navy, but if the key is placed in 1924… This is definitely the presence of crushing.
The heavy cruiser Red Caucasus, so to speak, was also enough in 1924. Not only is it enough, it’s completely crushed.
The other is the Type 56 destroyer.
The Type 56 destroyer adopts a high-board flat-deck ship type, with a thin bow, a large upward jump above the waterline and a significant outward drift towards both sides, and the main deck behind the bridge tends to be flat.
The superstructure above deck is divided into three sections, with two circular chimneys sloping backwards in the middle of the ship and two tall thin triangular masts with sloping leading edges. The ship’s power system consists of four KV-76 steam boilers and two TV-8 steam turbines with a total power of 72,800 horsepower. The maximum speed can reach 38 knots, the economic speed is 17.9 knots, and the self-sufficiency at sea is 10 days.
In terms of armament selection, the Type 56 basically retains the configuration of the Type 41.
The bow and stern are each equipped with an SM-2-1 twin 130 mm dual-purpose naval gun, a set of side-by-side PTA-53-56 pent-mounted 533 mm torpedo tubes on the main deck behind the two chimneys, and three BMB-2 depth charge throwers on each side of the stern.
The original four twin anti-aircraft guns on the Type 41 were all replaced with quadruple SM-20-ZIF, which were arranged on both sides of the bow, stern and second chimneys, and there were two Russian ruler B gun sighting radars controlling anti-aircraft guns at the top of the bridge and between the aft mast and the aft chimney, and the SVD-42-50 gun sighting radar used to control the two main guns was held high on the top of the bridge.
The top of the foremast is the Dawning sea search radar, and the top of the rear mast is the Russian foot H air search radar.
Later, with the continuous maturity of new shipborne weapons and the diversification of tasks to carry out, the mature Type 56 underwent a large number of modernizations and modifications, resulting in a large number of sub-models.
The standard displacement of the Type 56 destroyer is 2670 tons, the full load displacement is 3230 tons, the ship size is 126.2mx12.8mx4.26m, and the Type 56 destroyer was built at the beginning, and the Type 56A destroyer can now be used.
The renewal of the Type 56A destroyer is the use of solid ballast tanks, while the use of secondary process reinforcement measures for many pressure-bearing parts in the hull structure, and the exterior design of the bow bridge has been slightly adjusted to make it easier to load and unload electronic combat equipment… In addition to the indispensable wave ship-to-air missile system, the 45mm quadruple anti-aircraft gun was partially replaced with a new 30mm twin AK-230, the anti-air search radar was upgraded to Headnet C, and two 12-barreled RBU-6000 anti-submarine rocket depth launchers were installed in the bow of the ship…
According to Oksky’s meaning, that is, the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer have been retired one after another, and among the warships currently decommissioned, the Red Caucasus heavy cruiser and the Type 56A destroyer are left with two each, a total of four.
Other Red Caucasus heavy cruisers and Type 56A destroyers can be used, but require extensive repairs and rearmament, which take time.
It can be said that if Su Zheng’s personal armed Su Family Army has the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer, then it is definitely a powerful force.
Although there are only four ships, they are definitely a force that cannot be ignored. Hengxing Island is also building a port, which can completely build a navy.
Su Zheng looked at Oksky and asked: “General Oksky, I want to ask how much the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the four destroyers of Type 56A are sold for?” What is the price? ”
Oksky: “Mr. Su, although the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer are decommissioned, the overall performance is not comparable to modern destroyers and cruisers, but they still have the power of World War I.” ”
“So be it… Mr. Su is also a cheerful person, four warships to give $20 million, how! Twenty million dollars for four warships… It’s not too expensive. ”
But the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the destroyer Type 56A were decommissioned and naturally could be underpriced.
Su Zheng’s brows furrowed slightly, revealing a tangled look in his clothes, and said, “General Oxsky, this price is a bit high, right?” ”
“I am looking for you this time not only to buy the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer, but also to buy AK47 rifles, RPG-7 rocket launchers, T-34 tanks, MiG-15 fighters and Katyusha rocket launchers, DK heavy machine guns, DPM light machine guns and other weapons, give some preferential prices!”
1.7
“And the heavy cruiser Red Caucasus and the Type 56A destroyer are decommissioned warships, I think twenty million dollars is a bit high, 10 million!” How is it? ”
Poof… Haggle 10 million at once?
Okski: “No, no, no… The price of 10 million is too low, although this is a decommissioned warship, but it cannot be the price of cabbage, the price of 20 million is not low! ”
Su Zheng: “So be it… You and I take a step back alone, 11 million, how! ”
Oksky: “No, 11 million is too little, 15 million!” ”
Su Zheng: “$15 million is still too high… I’ll just say the middle number, 12 million, okay? This is the lowest price yet”
Oksky looked at Su Zheng and said, “Mr. Su, I don’t want to bargain with you either, add another 500,000… 12.5 million in total, how? ”
Su Zheng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “Okay, deal!” ”
