I built an armada

"With the current industrial level, we can't keep up with the construction progress of new warships. Naturally, the cost of this production line may be doubled than previously expected."

"In a word, our navy owes too much, and everything we are doing now is to make up for the past shortcomings."

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, Su Dingping spoke again. He must let everyone know that the current military expenditure is not worth their excitement.

In order to build a strong modern navy, it was basically equivalent to no investment before. The basic expenses of personnel have been maintained for decades, and as for advanced ships, no one has been added.

And Donghuanghaizi has seized this opportunity. They want to achieve success in one battle and completely solve the Longxia Navy once and for all to complete the task of dominating the Dongzhou Sea.

It's just a pity that they made a wrong calculation and were killed by the Longxia Navy.

After listening to Su Dingping's words, everyone no longer smiled.

Originally, they thought that the scale of military expenditure of nearly 100 billion soft sister yuan had reached the highest level of military expenditure that the Longxia Navy had never had before, and they could be very happy, but they didn't expect that they would still be a poor ghost in the end.

Several people looked at each other, with bitter smiles on their faces, but a magical idea had already emerged in their minds. Could it be that the navy was going to transform into pirates to rob money?

"Wait a minute, Dingping, what kind of warship is the 10,000-ton destroyer you just mentioned?"

"Isn't 10,000 tons a cruiser?"

Suddenly, Liu Huaming's eyes suddenly brightened a little, and he asked with some doubts.

In the concept of the world, a warship can be called a cruiser after it reaches a scale of 10,000 tons. In the world today, only the Eagle Tribe is equipped with a 10,000-ton cruiser.

The concept of a 10,000-ton destroyer has never been heard of before.

"Dingping, a 10,000-ton destroyer, is it a new concept warship developed with the Eagle Tribe?"

Xu Dongguo also spoke up, with a curious look on his face.

"Of course not, the Eagle Tribe's Zumwalt 10,000-ton destroyer is too sci-fi. We don't have the technology to realize it yet, right?" Qian Wenbing didn't believe it at all.

"The ship that the Eagle Tribe built is completely a battle at the enemy's doorstep after clearing all threat targets. We want to fight our way out."

"We won't learn from the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force and build an aircraft carrier destroyer, right?"

Xiao Chongjun also spoke up. There are only two weirdos on Blue Star. The Eagle Tribe has developed many new concept weapons to maintain its military advantage over other tribes on Blue Star, while the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force has used various concepts to build highly offensive aircraft carriers.

Several people were very confused. They had never heard of a 10,000-ton destroyer.

If Su Dingping hadn't mentioned it today, they would never know that Su Dingping's research direction had shifted to this.

Su Dingping had only made a vague report before, occasionally mentioning a new concept warship.

But he had never said it so clearly as today.

"No, no, with a displacement of 10,000 tons, it is also a destroyer."

"The initial standard displacement is 12,000 tons, which is completely different from Zumwalt. It is our own missile destroyer."

Su Dingping quickly corrected, "And I assure you, the leaders, that our 10,000-ton destroyer will definitely lead the trend of Blue Star, which also means that we have entered the kingdom of freedom in terms of shipbuilding technology."

What?

It is a brand new destroyer designed and built by ourselves.

The tonnage has reached 12,000 tons?

Several leaders looked at each other, feeling that their brains were not enough and they could not keep up at all.

"Dingping, tell me in detail."

Liu Huaming was the first to react and quickly cast an encouraging look. His interest was greatly aroused.

"Yes, Chief."

Su Dingping nodded, and then said, "Our 10,000-ton destroyer has a combat capability far superior to the 052D. It is called the sword-carrying guard of the aircraft carrier. It can accompany the aircraft carrier to carry out combat missions, and can also perform long-distance expulsion missions alone."

"It will be equipped with more than 110 large-caliber vertical launch units and have very strong combat capability."

Here, he paused for a moment, waiting for the leaders to digest what he had just said.

He picked up the teacup and took a sip. The tea soup went into his throat, and he felt refreshed instantly.

"Although we have the 052D and will mass-produce it, its combat performance is still a bit poor. It can be used as an auxiliary ship of an aircraft carrier and cooperate with submarines to fight against the general medium-sized national aircraft carrier fleet."

"But our next opponent is the Eagle Tribe. This is not subject to personal will. Whether we want it or not, the Eagle Tribe will regard us as a strategic opponent."

"The Eagle Tribe has eleven aircraft carriers and has extremely strong maritime combat capabilities. The gap between us and them is still too big."

Su Dingping's tone gradually became serious, and his expression was extremely solemn. "If an unpredictable event happens one day, we will not have much power to fight back."

"Beating the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force does not mean that we will definitely be able to beat the Eagle Tribe."

Liu Huaming and other leaders cast approving eyes at Su Dingping, and their hearts were even more turbulent.

Unexpectedly, when everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, Su Dingping was unusually clear-headed and even predicted that the Eagle Tribe was ambitious and would sooner or later clash with Longxia.

Looking at the entire Blue Star, who would dare to go to war with the Eagle Tribe?

not a single one.

Now that the Eagle Tribe is deeply involved in the Keyi Tribe's war and cannot take care of the Dongzhou Sea, it will naturally have to hold down the Donghuang Tribe. Once they escape from the war, they will definitely focus on the Longxia Tribe. Come on.

At that time, the Longxia Tribe will face various pressures from the Eagle Tribe.

Military confrontation is extremely likely to be inevitable.

Since it is unavoidable, one can only bite the bullet. Just like back then, the Eagle Tribe just dispatched an aircraft carrier fleet and arrived in the waters of Longzhao Island, forcing Longxia's sea, land and air forces to dispatch together. The ships dispatched by the navy, Almost every sailor on board wrote a suicide note.

It was clear that those hard-core naval warriors were determined to die and used their flesh and blood to fight against the enemy.

Even so, what finally drove away the Eagle Tribe fleet was the intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear submarines dispatched by Long Xia. What a tragic shame that was.

To say it was a tragic victory would be a bit flattering to the navy, but its equipment was not even as good as that of Donghuang Hai.

Fortunately, there was no armed conflict at that time, otherwise they would have to pay compensation if they were defeated. In comparison, the Longxia tribe's national fortune was not bad, and they successfully avoided the biggest risk at that time.

If the same thing happens again and the Eagle Tribe sends an additional aircraft carrier fleet, then relying solely on the 052C and Varyag aircraft carriers will not have much chance of winning.

Even if 052D is added to the battle, I am afraid that there will not be any advantage.

After listening to Su Dingping's analysis, Liu Huaming and others immediately thought of the powerful military strength of the Eagle Tribe, and their hearts sank.

All the joy that had been accumulated before disappeared without a trace, and their expressions became serious.

Just as Su Dingping said, the navy has too many debts. To develop into a powerful naval force, everyone needs to share their strengths and move forward step by step. There is a long way to go!

The road ahead is long and long!

"Is this the reason why you proposed the development of a 10,000-ton engine?"

Liu Huaming's tone also became very serious, "The standard displacement exceeds 12,000 tons? Isn't it about to catch up with the light aircraft carriers in the East Barren Sea?"

"Yes, Chief."

Su Dingping took a deep breath and said eloquently, "It will carry two helicopters and even anti-ship ballistic missiles to carry out the mission of annihilating enemies at long distances."

"Its comprehensive combat capabilities will be unmatched by at least three to six ships combined."

The 052D gave full play to its terrifying combat effectiveness, suppressing the aircraft carriers in the East Desert Sea so much that they could not even lift their heads. In fact, the combat effectiveness was not even one-sixth of that of the 10,000-ton cruiser.

This is so powerful that it is completely unbelievable.

The faces of Liu Huaming and others were full of horror and confusion. It was terrible.

Gradually he became extremely enthusiastic.

How terrifying is the combat effectiveness of such a 10,000-ton weapon?

If the navy is equipped with such a type of warship, there is no telling who will have the strongest fist in the entire Blue Star sea area in the future.

"Of course, we are still just conceiving and making relevant technical reserves. There are still a lot of core technologies that need to be overcome. I am saying this so that everyone can be prepared."

"Our navy must equip such warships."

Su Dingping suddenly smiled and said very frankly.

Hearing this, Liu Huaming and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their anxious hearts were finally relieved.

They are really afraid that these 100 billion soft girl coins will be completely consumed in the blink of an eye before they are warmed in their hands.

"Just watch and keep track of the progress. Don't be too anxious."

"As for how much military expenditure is needed, just report it."

Xu Dongguo took a deep look at Su Dingping and said very generously, "Dingping, you are open to asking. You can still manage enough for now."

He knows very well that tackling core technology problems is not something that happens overnight and requires a long period of financial investment.

Without enough funds, nothing can be done.

Hearing this, Su Dingping fell into deep thought. After thinking carefully, he slowly spoke.

"Commanders, my next arrangements will be divided into two steps."

"First, continue to develop the Varyag aircraft carrier and strive to conquer the core technology as soon as possible, and then hand it over to Dean Cheng and the others to study and continue repairing it. I will send Sun Yongguo to support them."

"Now that there are sufficient funds and the capital for trial and error, it is very suitable for them to do this kind of thing."

"Second, with the time saved, I will devote myself to conquering the core technology of the 10,000-ton large drive and strive to develop it as soon as possible."

Liu Huaming and others listened carefully to Su Dingping's words with their ears wide open.

"We have almost completed the second step of the three-step strategy. Next, we have to face two major opponents, the first is the White Bear Tribe, and the second is the Eagle Tribe."

"In terms of actual strategic opponents, in the end there is only the Eagle Tribe."

"We can prepare for the time being by classifying the Eagle Tribe as the most important strategic opponent. They have advanced fighter jets, a large number of advanced bombers, and various anti-air and anti-ground missiles."

"The most important thing is that the Eagle Tribe's goal is to maintain their dominance, so we will become a thorn in their side and want to get rid of them quickly."

"The 052D alone cannot conquer the world, and it is obviously not possible for the aircraft carrier to be protected by it."

"Therefore, the 10,000-ton large-scale drive must be developed before the Varyag aircraft carrier is completed, and we strive to be commissioned into the navy in advance."

Having said this, Su Dingping stopped talking. Instead, he picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea gently to fully moisturize his dry throat.

"Then you must have a third step, right?"

"Dingping, why don't you just tell us everything so that we can be mentally prepared."

After a while, Xu Dongguo had digested Su Dingping's words, so he asked.

He knew that Su Dingping was a person who never fought unprepared battles, and he had probably already planned the development of naval warships and military industry in his mind.

This is also the main reason why several of their leaders have always called Su Dingping a strategic-level expert.

Ordinary scientific researchers only care about their own one-third of an acre of land and solve technical problems, but they don't have extra time to plan the overall strategy.

But a strategic-level scientist like Su Dingping is completely different. He will plan everything and then implement it step by step.

"Third, build a more powerful and complete shipbuilding industry system and create a complete and efficient industrial chain. When the industrial chain is complete, any warships we build in the future will be very fast."

"In other words, after the 052D production line is completed, we will begin to further expand the integrated military factory, and the volume will be at least four times the current one."

"The navy needs strong basic industry support, and the technology on each ship needs to be implemented into the industrial chain."

What he said was so shocking that Liu Huaming and others opened their eyes wide with shock.

Link after link, link after link, every step of the planning is very clear and perfect.

If they hadn't considered everything before, they wouldn't believe it.

They couldn't help but be a little shocked. Su Dingping was busy conquering new technologies every day. Where did he get so much time to build a naval strategic concept?

This young man is really scary!

In fact, they really wanted to interrupt and ask about specific matters, but no matter whether it was an aircraft carrier or a 10,000-ton cruise ship, they all touched upon unfamiliar territory to them.

Even if the aircraft carrier is obtained, they have also received certain training on relevant aircraft carrier knowledge.

But they have never thought about the 10,000-ton large force. They have never seen it, okay?

Wouldn't it be too much to ask them to interrupt?

Naturally, they just acted as good listeners, quickly took notes, and studied it slowly when they returned home. They used this as a blueprint to formulate relevant shipbuilding plans and create a complete naval industry chain.

In fact, even without asking carefully, they have already built a basic industrial chain framework in their minds.

"Dingping, just tell us how much military expenditure you need."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Huaming said directly that he felt that talking about money was more direct and practical.

"About 70 billion."

"There is no need to give it all at once. I will apply to you when I need it. There may be more."

Su Dingping took out his notebook, looked through it, and then said.

Seventy billion.

No need to give it all at once.

This made Liu Huaming and others quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and their hearts were relieved.
