I built an armada

He picked up the wine glass and drank it without hesitation.

To be honest, he was very happy today. It was an honor and a great feeling to be able to drink with so many young navy officers and senior officials.

It was the hard work and hard work of these people that allowed Longxia Haijiang to be preserved.

After everyone sat down again, it didn't take long for Zhou Qinglei, the new captain of the 052D guide driver, to take the lead and walk over with a glass of wine in his hand and a bottle of wine in his left hand.

Behind him were Cao Youren, Song Haidong, Jiang Shengrong and other 052C captains, all arriving one by one.

"Dingping, the 052D's performance in all aspects is simply invincible."

"This is the most advanced warship I have ever piloted in my life, and you owe most of my medal to it."

While talking, Zhou Qinglei took the initiative to fill Su Dingping's glass with wine, and then he raised the glass, "I respect you, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, feeling very generous and happy.

Following Su Dingping, the battleships he piloted became more powerful each generation.

If someone had told him more than half a year ago that he would pilot the Longxia Tribe's own stealth battleship in the future, he would have scolded that person.

But now he is driving the 052D and uses his own technical advantages to defeat the aircraft carrier, a giant on the sea.

From beginning to end, the 052D he drove was never discovered by the little devil.

The super stealth ability and powerful photoelectric capabilities directly give the 052D an extremely powerful comprehensive combat capability. It can also launch land-attack cruise missiles. It is simply every captain's dream ship.

"Done."

The atmosphere was already full, and Su Dingping would not give in and drank it all in one gulp.

The hot white wine flowed down from his throat, causing sweat to break out on his forehead.

Fortunately, the air conditioning was on in the hall, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to drink like this, since it was all white.

Drinking beer is obviously not suitable for this occasion.

“Good drinker!”

Cao Youren stepped forward and helped Su Dingping fill it up, and motioned for him to take a bite of the food first, while Cao Youren stood aside and asked excitedly, "Dingping, when will the new batch of 052D be launched into the water? I can't wait."

As the man who led the team to suppress the Japanese fleet head-on this time, after learning about the powerful performance of the 052D, he suddenly felt that the 052C was not good.

Especially when he learned from Zhou Qinglei that the 052D was an upgrade based on the 052C, but the difference between the two was at least one generation of ship level, which immediately made him drool with envy.

No matter what, he will have one of the new batch of 052Ds.

"Captain Cao, you are not kind. You have to look forward to Shu. Your 052C is advanced enough, and now you are thinking about the new batch of 052D. What will we do?"

"Can't I just pick up your leftovers?"

Wu Ruoming on the side suddenly became anxious. He had been driving a 956E before, and he could only serve as a second-line troop and provide support during this military operation. He was very unhappy.

If they can exchange shotguns for cannons, then they can also control the waters of Dongzhou in the future.

The previous dispatch of 052D to the war was a helpless move by Xu Dongguo and other three leaders. The war happened in such a hurry, so naturally they did not decide which fleet to use first, so they sent Zhou Qinglei on directly.

Zhou Qinglei belonged to the Northern Fleet, and together with Su Dingping, he participated in the lone ship's intrusion into the Eastern Wilderness tribe, entering a place only 90 kilometers away from the coastline, and directly carried out an attack.

No matter from any aspect, Zhou Qinglei is the most qualified to control the 052D in the entire navy, so it was naturally given to him.

As for which fleet the second 052D will be given to first, no one has considered it.

"Don't worry, everyone will have what they deserve."

"From now on, you will all drive the most advanced guided missile destroyers."

After eating a few bites of food, Su Dingping smiled at everyone. He was really happy to be able to communicate with these captains.

"Dingping's words are heartening. I have hope now."

Wu Ruoming said, his eyes brightening a lot.

"Come on, Dingping, I respect you."

"To be honest, I had a great time fighting this battle, thank you."

Cao Youren gently clinked glasses with Su Dingping, and then said excitedly, "I'm a rough guy and can't speak, but all my feelings are in this glass of wine. I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

To be honest, these captains knew very well that Su Dingping was a military expert and would definitely not be as good at drinking as them. In fact, all Su Dingping needed to do was take a sip.

Just looking at the many captains who had made great achievements in battle, Su Dingping couldn't care so much. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to fight today.

He was really happy to see Long Xia Haijun win a very beautiful victory.

"You can't say that. No matter how advanced the warship is, it is piloted by humans. The ability of the warship to perform well in your hands depends entirely on the operation and use of talented captains like you."

Su Dingping looked around at the captains and the bosses present, "I'm very happy today to see that our battleship can perform meritorious service under your control. Come on, I'll do it too."

Hearing Su Dingping's words, Liu Huaming and other leaders showed happy smiles on their faces.

This guy is eloquent, and he is still so humble. Even though he has achieved such great achievements, he still does not take credit or be proud.

Such young people are rare in the whole country.

The Navy really picked up a big treasure!

God gave Su Dingping to the navy, and he was really kind to the navy.

After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.

Everyone drank a lot and everyone was happy.

"Dingping, you have a good drinking capacity."

Liu Huaming smiled, picked up the wine glass, and gently touched the glass on Su Dingping's table, "Here, let's have another drink."

"No, no, chief, I won't be able to survive if I drink any more."

"When I go back later, I want to do some more research."

Su Dingping's breathing became heavier, and his breath was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. He waved his hands and said.

Seeing Su Dingping's persistence and talking about Liu Huaming and other leaders, they did not force him anymore, but instead ended the banquet.

Under the guidance of Xu Dongguo, the group came to the conference hall of the northern base.

After taking their seats in order of priority, everyone turned their attention to Su Dingping.

"Dingping, tell us what research you are going to do back home?"

After looking at Liu Huaming, Xu Dongguo immediately understood and asked.

"To be honest with the leaders, after these days of in-depth research, the aircraft carrier transformation matter has been drawn up."

"The repair work of the Varyag aircraft carrier has almost officially begun."

Under everyone's gaze, Su Dingping then slowly spoke.

So fast?

Even after experiencing strong winds and waves, Liu Huaming and others were still shocked.

It has been almost 20 days since the Varyag arrived home. It is terrible to have a renewal plan so soon, isn't it?

According to their understanding of Su Dingping, it is clear that they have almost mastered the relevant core technologies.

"Well, Dingping, we don't need to be in such a hurry. It won't be a problem if we wait a few more months, or even a year. Our navy can still persevere."

"You know, your body is more important than anything else, and your personal problems can be solved. You must pay attention to your health."

Soon Xu Dongguo recovered and said with a smile, the navy only has one big treasure that everyone is fighting for, so he naturally doesn't want Su Dingping to collapse from exhaustion.

Doing scientific research is indeed a very brain-consuming and energy-consuming thing.

Staying up all night, they were really worried that Su Dingping's small body would one day be unable to bear it. In that case, the loss would be too great for the navy.

"Yeah, Dingping, we can all wait, it'll be fine."

"You haven't contacted Guo Xueyun for a long time, right? We can give you a few days off. You can take advantage of this time to have a good chat with her and confirm the relationship between the two."

"We are all waiting to drink your wedding wine."

Qian Wenbing also intervened at this time, his serious look almost breaking Su Dingping's defense.

Speaking of Guo Xueyun, the two have not been in contact since they met on Qindao. Even though he had a mobile phone, Guo Xueyun also sent text messages, but because he was so busy, it was already late at night when he saw the text messages. .

If you reply to the past, wouldn't it disturb others' rest?

Gradually, he found that there were fewer text messages.

"Dingping really needs time to solve his personal problems. I have seen that kid Guo Xueyun, who is very good."

"My family background is clean, and I am from our military compound."

At this time, Xiao Chongjun also interrupted, looking very interested.

"No, no, sir. I'm only 21 years old. I'm still young. I'm busy with my career first."

Su Dingping was startled and waved his hands quickly, but he did not expect that his personal problems would be concerned by the four real bosses of the navy, including Liu Huaming.

And it seems that they all understand Guo Xueyun's family background better than themselves.

"Dingping, what you said is wrong, isn't it? I already had a baby when I was twenty, and you are almost twenty-one, so it's time to settle this matter."

"Just stop delaying."

Qian Wenbing took over the conversation and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Dingping doesn't have time, so I will arrange it. I will definitely arrange it for you, Dingping, just keep it in your heart."

After seeing Su Dingping's uneasiness, Xu Dongguo immediately spoke up to smooth things over. He knew better than anyone about Guo Xueyun's matter, so let him handle the matchmaker's affairs.

Seeing the overwhelming attitude of the leaders, Su Dingping sighed helplessly.

For him, falling in love is too much of a waste of time. If he has that kind of intention, he might as well invest in scientific research and conquer core technologies. Isn't this better than anything else?

When it comes to girlfriends, they will quarrel if they don't agree with each other. After the quarrel, they have to be coaxed, and of course they have to spend time with them.

How time-consuming is this?

Su Dingping finally understood why so many older generation scientific researchers solved their personal problems early and then devoted themselves to scientific research work.

"Let's talk about this later."

Su Dingping really didn't want to waste that time, so he simply pushed it away.

Seeing that Su Dingping wouldn't let go, Xu Dongguo simply didn't dwell on the matter, and instead changed the subject.

"Dingping, let me tell you some good news. Our navy is finally rich."

"The light aircraft carriers we sold, as well as the King Kong-class guided drives, as well as supporting missiles, artillery shells and other series of transactions, were sold for a total of 3.8 billion U.S. dollars. After excluding all kinds of expenses, our navy can get at least 3.4 billion U.S. dollars. ”

"This time the Eastern Wilderness tribe pays US$15 billion in compensation, and we can get US$7 billion."

"In other words, when added up, our Navy can get $10.4 billion."

When he said this, he paused slightly, but he did not hide his excitement at all. People are really in high spirits during happy events.

"When the military appropriation arrives next year, our navy will really become a rich man."

"When has our Navy ever been so rich? Never."

"This money is enough for the Navy to squander for a while."

Xu Dongguo's words resonated with other chiefs. In the past, they had always had headaches because of lack of military spending. They lived a life of poverty, let alone building advanced warships and aircraft carriers.

But now, it has suddenly gained an additional income of 10.4 billion U.S. dollars. If converted into soft sister coins, that is more than 80 billion, which is a huge wealth.

Coupled with the allocation of naval funds, the navy's military expenditure directly exceeds 100 billion.

That was unimaginable before.

Hundreds of billions of scale.

What is this concept?

Liu Huaming and others did not expect that the navy would be so wealthy. The past events were so vivid in their minds that their eyes could not help but turn red, and they were filled with emotion.

Without money, I was restricted everywhere. Now that I have money, I feel completely different.

"After discussion, we decided that you can spend whatever you want on this military expenditure."

"As much as you want, we will approve it for you."

Xu Dongguo said very boldly, his tone sounded like a nouveau riche.

"Yes, Dingping, just mention it and don't think about saving money. Our navy is not short of money now and can guarantee your comprehensive scientific research."

"Dingping, we have a lot of money now, so if you have any requests, just ask."

Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun also spoke one after another. They were more unpretentious and used money directly to open the way, so that Su Dingping would have no worries.

Seeing how generous the chiefs were, Su Dingping smiled lightly. These chiefs had no idea how much the navy owed.

It's time for them to face reality in a good way, so that they can't laugh at all.

"Ahem."

Su Dingping cleared his throat, took out the small notebook he carried with him, looked at it and then spoke.

"Commanders, please listen carefully."

“The continued construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier and its restoration of its due combat effectiveness require the participation of the entire supporting industry chain, including carrier-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft production lines, which cost at least seven billion US dollars per set. "

"If the carrier-based aircraft are upgraded and the aircraft carrier's functions are upgraded, the cost will increase by at least three billion U.S. dollars, adding up to 10 billion U.S. dollars."

"If you want to build a complete aircraft carrier fleet, you need to build guided missile destroyers, as well as numerous frigates, comprehensive supply ships known as the nannies of aircraft carriers."

"For guided missile destroyers, I plan to equip the aircraft carrier with a Type 055 10,000-ton large drive. The R\u0026D and construction costs are estimated to be 10 billion coins. In addition, upgrading the production line will cost another sum of money. I plan to spend 5 billion coins. It is not an exaggeration. ?”

"There is also the mass production of 052D, which also requires money, and the upgrading and transformation of the production line also requires money."

Having said this, Su Dingping glanced at the leaders, but saw that the smiles on their faces gradually became stiff, and they could hardly laugh anymore.
