I built an armada

"I just saw that the crew members on board 052D have great morale and murderous intent."

"Isn't this what we want?"

"Chief, if you want to punish me, punish me too. I am Dingping's immediate superior."

Xu Dongguo stood up in a hurry. He didn't want to see Su Dingping being punished. This was a pet peeve of his.

Even if Liu Huaming wanted to reprimand him, he would not agree.

"Chief, although this operation was dangerous, it was overall a success."

"Dingping's unauthorized actions have frightened us for a long time, but if it were me in this dangerous and unusual environment, I would also turn off all communication devices and maintain radio silence for navigation."

"Damn it, I want to go for a swim in the Eastern Barren Sea."

"Chief, if you want to punish me, count me in."

Qian Wenbing also stood up at this time and glanced at Xu Dongguo, meaning don't think that you are the only one who can handle the matter, I can too!

"Chief..."

Xiao Chongjun was naturally unwilling to lag behind, and then Sun Yongguo and several other big guys stood up and said good things.

With so many people speaking for him, Su Dingping felt warm in his heart.

Of course, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. If he did it again, he would do the same thing again.

The Longxia Navy has its own shadow on the East Barren Sea, but he does not. He just wants to break this shadow, shine the light on the Longxia Navy, and give the entire Longxia Navy a new look.

What's so scary about little devils?

Aren’t we all carrying one head on two shoulders?

Who is afraid of whom?

"I can see it. Each of you is speaking for Dingping."

Seeing everyone standing up, Liu Huaming could only pick it up and put it down gently, "Hey, you."

When he said this, his face was full of helplessness.

He has already seen that the chief officer of the three fleets of Xu Dongguo, Xiao Chongjun and Qian Wenbing is Su Dingping of Baoding. He even feels that Su Dingping did nothing wrong and this is what the navy should do.

Just like Monkey Monkey wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he will turn the Eastern Barren Sea Territory upside down.

Completely break the barrier that Longxia Navy is inferior to Donghuanghai.

Didn't Haizi brag about how powerful he was all day long, and that he could completely wipe out the three major fleets of the Longxia tribe in just a few hours?

Now a 052D caught them off guard and successfully attacked the Haizi headquarters base.

Su Dingping is not only a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he is also born with no fear of heaven or earth.

So what if it's as strong as Donghuang Haizi?

If you have to do it, you still have to do it, and you give the order very neatly.

This kind of courage and calmness alone are not something that everyone has. He is a born commander!

For the Navy, I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a training.

"That's it, that's all."

“As the saying goes, the death penalty can be avoided or the crime cannot be escaped.”

Liu Huaming took a deep breath and looked at Su Dingping with tiger eyes. "Since you are willing to take the responsibility, I will tell you that you cannot go anywhere these days and must not leave the naval headquarters for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingping wanted to struggle.

"Chief, I still need to take charge of the integrated military factory."

"I still have a lot of work to do."

Liu Huaming waved his hand indifferently: "Being absent for those few days will not affect the overall situation."

He naturally knew that Su Dingping was extremely courageous, and the next few days would be a critical moment. If this kid acted randomly again, there might be a situation where the Longxia tribe and Donghuanghai would start a war on their own.

It's okay once or twice. Who knows if I will be so lucky next time?

Only by keeping Su Dingping by his side could he rest assured.

Zhou Qinglei and others finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Liu Huaming did not blame Su Dingping.

"Dingping, you just stay at the headquarters and study for a few days."

"It's okay, I'm at the integrated military factory."

Sun Yongguo quickly tried to persuade him. He could see that Liu Huaming's arrangement was not to punish Su Dingping, but to protect him.

Then Xu Dongguo and others also tried to persuade Su Dingping.

"Yes, Chief, I accept the punishment."

Su Dingping was helpless and could only accept this punishment, which was not called punishment, and stayed at the naval headquarters without going anywhere.

Liu Huaming nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyes swept over the faces of Zhou Qinglei and others one by one.

"Now that we've talked about punishment, let's talk about reward."

"Otherwise you will all think that I am a person whose rewards and punishments are unclear."

Liu Huaming paused, and then said, "In view of your triumphant return from this patrol operation, you also caused considerable losses to the East Barren Sea and had a huge positive impact on our navy."

"I will reward you based on your merits, and arrangements will be made later."

Having said this, he turned to look at Xu Dongguo, and then said, "Comrade Dongguo, I will leave this matter to you. When Captain Cao and the others come back, we will count the meritorious personnel together."

"clear."

Xu Dongguo immediately took the order.

Next, Zhou Qinglei and others went out to rest, but Su Dingping, Sun Yongguo and others were left behind.

"Dingping, tell me what you think of 052D."

After everyone sat down again, Liu Huaming looked at Su Dingping and said directly.

"Yes, Chief."

"Through this operation, it was proved that the 052D has excellent combat performance and very good airworthiness."

"But there are also some shortcomings, especially in terms of land attacks. The speed of the missiles is still too slow, and most of them were intercepted by the Patriot air defense missiles imported from Donghuanghai."

"Next, this aspect needs to be strengthened. The missile penetration speed must be faster and it must hit farther."

Having said this, Su Dingping paused, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

"Of course, the 052D has withstood the test of actual combat. It has not lost its chain. Lao Zhou has completed the voyage log and summary of combat experience, and the relevant data has been calibrated."

"Next, we can create a register and compile the 052D user manual to prepare for the subsequent training of crew members and captains."

"The most important thing is that our navy must uniformly change its equipment. Whether it is frigates or guided missile destroyers, it must be fully replaced by third-generation combat ships."

Su Dingping raised his head and looked at Liu Huaming, "Chief, the most important thing is military spending. You need to worry more."

Hearing this, Liu Huaming's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say.

Tens of billions of military expenditures have been spent, and the integrated military factory has come out. Advanced first-generation shield ships and second-generation shield ship cameras have been released, which has made great contributions to the navy and made the navy feel proud.

However, the cost of building a 052D is really horrifyingly expensive, almost twice that of the 051C. The price is not cheap at all.

And once the third-generation frigates and guided-missile destroyers are built together, the cost will be a very staggering figure. Spending money will be like water. Isn't that just saving money?

The real money is to release water, to open the floodgates and release water.

I finally saved up a small amount of funds, but before I got started, I was targeted by Su Dingping. I'm afraid I will have to live a tight life again in the future.

Whether it is a frigate or a guided-missile destroyer, Xu Dongguo and other leaders expressed joy at the comprehensive replacement of third-generation ships.

The combat power displayed by 052D is as strong as a horse.

Qian Wenbing immediately felt that the 052C was no longer good, and he also focused on the 052D warship.

If the dress change was realized, wouldn't the Longxia Navy be walking sideways in the Dongzhou Sea?

Donghuanghai is naturally very strong, but that is also a thing of the past.

Seeing the expressions of Xu Dongguo, Qian Wenbing, and Xiao Chongjun, Liu Huaming knew that the captains of the three fleets were all attracted to the 052D, and even wanted to own it immediately.

With more advanced warships, he, as the leader of the navy, will be more confident whether he is doing things or safeguarding maritime rights and interests.

Even in the face of challenges and threats as powerful as the Eagle Navy, he is not afraid.

The worst thing to do is just do it!

Just like Su Dingping ventured into the East Barren Sea and launched missiles towards the sea to attack from the headquarters base!

"Dingping, just tell me the number."

"How much military spending do we still lack?"

Liu Huaming took a deep breath and asked directly.

"Chief, the mass construction of the 052D second-generation shield ship, the training and recruitment of technical workers, will cost about 20 to 25 billion in total."

"The cost of a 052D is between 4 billion and 4.5 billion. It takes more than three months to produce one in the early stage. Once the technical workers are skilled, it will only take three months to produce one."

After Su Dingping pondered for a moment, he said directly that military expenses were needed now.

Previously, the expansion and upgrading of the integrated military factory and the recruitment of personnel required a large amount of investment.

Military spending!

It’s military spending again!

Having sold several 051Cs before and gained a lot of income through technology transfer, plus the funds allocated from above, Liu Huaming felt that the Navy was finally rich.

But I didn't turn my back, and I had to start living a hard life again.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

"It is estimated that next month, our navy's funds will be received. I will make arrangements for you as soon as possible."

After Liu Huaming pondered for a while, he opened his mouth and said, his confidence was still somewhat lacking.

He knew very well that the navy's funds were too tight. If we pulled a little here and a little there, there wouldn't be much money left.

"Chief, our new warship has a direction. It will be more advanced and more powerful than the 052D. It will adopt a dual-band radar system and have more missiles."

"But the cost will be more expensive."

Seeing Liu Huaming's unnatural expression, Su Dingping thought that the other party was very relaxed, so he casually said that the navy's development of new ships would not stop.

Liu Huamington was very worried. The mass production of 052D has not yet been implemented. The new ship has arrived again.

Don't you see that I am worried about military expenses?

"Dingping, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Let's take our time with some things."

"First implement the batch production of 052D."

"This ship can still hold up for a while."

Xu Dongguo hurriedly tried to persuade him. He felt that if he didn't change the topic, Liu Huaming might go berserk.

"Dingping, please speed up the production of 052D."

"Let's take it step by step. First, implement the production of 052D. Our Southern Fleet is waiting to use it."

Even the hot-tempered Qian Wenbing joined in the persuasion at this time.

"Dingping, we'll start researching the new ship when you have enough time."

"The performance of the 052D is very good and the performance is also very good. At present, our navy's focus is on the construction of new production lines and the mass production of the 052D."

"This is a big project, and there is no room for sloppiness. It needs to be implemented everywhere and cultivate more domestic supporting factories."

"This ship is so good, we need to build a quality ship."

Liu Huaming finally couldn't help but said that he didn't want Su Dingping to be so anxious, but he also wanted to give himself enough time and give enough events to the Longxia tribe to develop.

A century-old navy requires continuous large-scale investment.

He also knew that the Navy had too many debtors before. Even if it now has hundreds of billions, it might not be enough to invest in it.

The navy not only has destroyers, but also frigates, minesweepers, reconnaissance ships, various types of ships, etc., which require a lot of money.

"Yes, Chief."

"Next, I will give priority to the new production line and the mass construction of 052D."

Su Dingping nodded and expressed quickly.

He is not a fool. Several leaders spoke at the same time, which proves that the navy's funds are still insufficient, so it can only prioritize the mass production of 052D.

"Dingping, you are tired. You go to rest first."

"It has been arranged for you in advance."

Seeing that things were almost done, Liu Huaming arranged for Su Dingping to go down and rest.

Returning to the living room, Liu Huaming and others sat down again.

"Funding, our navy is really a big spender. It is always a big pain point for us."

As for who is not excited about the new ship, Xu Dongguo rubbed his brows and said helplessly, this is the voice of everyone.

At the same time, the East Barren Sea has its own dedicated military port.

This is a large-scale maritime base, and the security level today is even tighter than in the past.

Murakami Hayaki and other high-level sea officials arrived here, and stood on the pier waiting, with a cold face the whole time, and a serious expression as if a storm was about to come.

The atmosphere at the scene was very depressing, and no one dared to take a breath.

Accompanied by a whistle, the aircraft carrier formation slowly sailed into the harbor and slowly berthed at the No. 1 berth with the help of tugboats.

Contact was established immediately with the trestle, and soon the wreckage of a reconnaissance plane was packed and transported to the shore by a crane.

Seeing the pile of plane wreckage, a group of high-level Haiji bosses, including Murakami Hayaki, suddenly became furious, and their eyes were burning with rage.

"Report to the general, these are all the wreckage of the reconnaissance aircraft that can be salvaged."

"There is also a part that sank to the bottom of the sea, and we have not been able to salvage it with our technology."

Taro Kishida hurriedly reported that this was the wreckage of the reconnaissance plane that was taken down by 052D.

"Baga, they are too arrogant."

"Extremely arrogant and extremely cruel!"

"Too arrogant!"

Harada Hiroki and others couldn't bear it anymore and became furious.

Seeing these messy fragments and remains, Murakami Hayaki's face was extremely gloomy, his back teeth were almost broken, and he looked like he wanted to eat people.

"Bagayalu, this is our country's shame!"

"In our eastern wasteland, missiles attacked our headquarters base, and now another reconnaissance plane has been shot down. So far, we don't know who the enemy is?"

"Is the dragnet you set leaky?"

"You are just a bunch of trash, you are just a bunch of trash!"

Murakami Sayamu was spitting and cursing, and his whole body was trembling with anger.

He felt like his lungs were about to explode.

In the past few decades, has Haizi ever suffered such hardship?
