I built an armada

Su Dingping, who had predicted all this, was still a little excited after hearing it.

If Longxia rejoins the trade organization, it will be able to trade with member countries of the organization at low tariffs, greatly promoting import and export trade.

It is very beneficial to boost the economy, and it will also allow the Longxia tribe to learn advanced management and technology, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

"The Bright Sword Operation carried out by our navy was a great success, and the leaders are very happy."

"Dingping, all this is your credit. Without that batch of cutting-edge warships and the improvement of the navy's strength, I am afraid we will be rejected as before, and I don't know how long it will take to join."

"In the final analysis, the world is backed by strength. Without strength, you can only be slaughtered."

Sun Yongguo looked at Su Dingping with great enthusiasm and said with emotion.

He also told Su Dingping about the Bright Sword Operation, but he didn't tell him too much detail. It didn't succeed before, and the purpose of this operation has been achieved, so it can be said naturally.

"That makes sense. Strength determines everything."

"Blue Star is still a place where the strong prey on the weak. The law of the jungle prevails. If you fall behind, you will be beaten. We still need to work harder."

Su Dingping nodded gently, feeling that all the efforts in the past were worth it. He was more determined to improve the navy's strength as soon as possible and become the strongest force in the Blue Star Ocean.

Only when the Longxia Navy is completely strong, Longxia merchant ships will not worry about safety when sailing in any sea area of ​​​​Blue Star.

Last night, he also took the time to look at the map of Blue Star and found that the important waterways were still firmly controlled by the Eagle Tribe Navy. This is definitely not a good thing for the Longxia Tribe, but a huge hidden danger.

On weekdays, everyone is in a peaceful state and will not feel anything.

Once a war breaks out, especially an armed conflict between the Longxia Tribe and the Eagle Tribe, the Eagle Tribe will cut off these trade channels without hesitation, causing huge troubles for the goods and raw materials of the Longxia Tribe.

He remembered very clearly that after the Longxia tribe joined the Blue Star Alliance Trade Organization, the hardworking Longxia people finally made the economy the first on Blue Star, and the import and export of goods accounted for 35% of the total on Blue Star.

Among them, the import of a large amount of oil, natural gas, and bulk products such as iron ore was very terrifying, and almost all of them had to go through these channels.

Especially oil was the most deadly, with imports exceeding 60%.

Once a war broke out, the Eagle Tribe could cut off the channel in terms of crude oil, which would have a huge impact on the opening of the Longxia war machine.

After all, whether it was a warship, a fighter plane, or a car or armored vehicle running on land, all needed to burn petroleum refineries. Without these things, they would only be able to lie down.

Because of this, the Longxia tribe needed a very strong navy.

The source of the navy's strength lies fundamentally in the strength of surface warships. After all, surface warships have submarines and other platforms that cannot be replaced, that is, mobile land.

It can be used to maintain maritime rights and interests and the safety of trade channels in peacetime.

In wartime, it can hunt enemies, whether it is a warship, a submarine, or an aircraft carrier formation.

Professors Lu Guangjun, Zhang Gongnong and others were also very excited after hearing this.

"Damn, more than a decade has passed, and we have finally joined the trade organization. It's a cause for celebration."

"I'm so happy. We have finally joined the WTO. Our development will enter the fast lane in the future. Only when the economy takes off can we get more military funds."

"More than a decade has passed, and it's really fast. We have become gray-haired people without paying attention. It's true that people can never be young again."

"It's worth celebrating. Our hard work over the past decade has paid off. I'm so happy."

"Our navy is to open channels for trade and escort safely. Operation Bright Sword has done a good job."

The knot of more than a decade was finally untied with joining the trade organization, and it also has a lot to do with the strength of the navy. Everyone is naturally proud and excited. Several old experts even shed hot tears.

Sun Yongguo then continued, "Dingping, do you know that the tribal representatives who voted in favor are also very interested in our 052C and 052D, but the leader is reluctant to give them up."

"Before I came back, the leader asked me if we could develop a production line for the 052B as the main product for subsequent sales."

Su Dingping refused without even thinking: "No."

"It is easy to build a 052B production line, but our investment is huge. Even if we sell it, how many ships can we sell to make a profit?"

"The difference between the benefits and costs is too big. It is not cost-effective for us. We cannot disrupt our own development rhythm to meet the needs of other tribes."

"Our current goal is to make the navy faster and stronger, not conservative. Why do I want you to firmly grasp the core technology? The purpose is to start a large-scale shipbuilding plan."

Here, he paused, picked up the water cup and took a sip to moisten his throat to keep himself fighting.

In fact, he could understand the leaders' painstaking efforts. They just wanted to build a 052B production line specifically for export and produce warships for those friendly tribes.

This could achieve the goal of maintaining a close relationship between the two sides and allowing the navy to have a steady stream of military trade income, killing two birds with one stone.

But when they were considering the problem, they overlooked that the development of the navy had already entered the fast lane, and the three major fleets were all waiting to change their equipment.

And once the Eagle Tribe withdraws from the central region, it is very likely to target the Longxia Tribe and put extreme pressure on it. At that time, the navy will be the first strategic force to bear the brunt.

Without more cutting-edge warships, how can the navy hold up in the front?

"It's not that I'm stubborn and unreasonable, there's really no other way."

"Building a 052B production line outside is definitely not possible. The Eagle Tribe, many Western tribes, and the Japanese will definitely try their best to find out the secrets, which poses a security risk to us."

"If it is placed in an integrated military factory, it will take up space and the gains will not outweigh the losses. It is still under expansion."

"The integrated military factory is now very expensive and there is no extra space at all."

"Finally and most importantly, 052B is more advanced and the price must be higher than 051C. Although they are all envious of 052C and 052D, there are not many who can really afford it."

"So, there is no need for us to waste time on 052B."

"I will personally report this to the chief."

Sun Yongguo also expressed helplessness after hearing this. The navy has now entered a stage of rapid development. He remembers very clearly that at least 35 warships of the 052D must be produced, plus frigates and other auxiliary ships.

Just to produce these warships for the navy, a large number of docks and production lines are needed.

In this way, there is no space and time to spare for producing warships for foreign customers.

If they only care about making money and disrupt the rhythm of naval equipment production, it will be a huge strategic loss for the Longxia tribe, and they may encounter a huge setback at some time in the future.

Then they will become national sinners.

"Of course, if we are really short of money, we can expand the 051C production line and move it to other shipbuilding bases for production."

"Anyway, the 051C has been thoroughly studied by the Western tribes, so there is no fear of leaks."

"Besides, the 051C ship can also be reshaped to make it very sci-fi and have stealth capabilities."

After that, Su Dingping searched in his laptop for a while, and finally took out the 051C magic version and showed it to everyone.

Sun Yongguo and other experts and professors were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the ground.

Is this really 051C?

How did it get changed so much that even her own mother couldn't recognize it? Lu Guangjun rubbed his eyes hard, but still couldn't tell that it was 051C.

"Ding, Dingping, is this really 051C?"

"Why do I feel that it is a new type of warship?"

Lu Guangjun had been responsible for the improvement of 051C before, and he was very familiar with this warship, but now his eyes were wide open, and he couldn't find any similarities.

This warship has been optimized in both appearance and weapon system.

No one would doubt that it is a brand-new type of warship.

"Yes, I just changed the appearance to make it look more sci-fi and more domineering."

"Of course, it also added a vertical launch system, battlefield situation awareness, and a certain stealth capability."

Su Dingping smiled and explained, "The core is still 051C, so it can be used to confuse Western intelligence agencies, let them go crazy."

Lu Guangjun's eyes were full of stars, and he gave Su Dingping a thumbs up.

"Great, really great, kill two birds with one stone."

"I have to say, you are awesome. I didn't think about these things before, President Sun. I think we can use it to fool those foreign customers."

"This magic modified version of 051C has both good appearance and good substance. It is very good and not expensive."

This is the love ship of his dreams. Lu Guangjun immediately helped to promote it.

"I also think this is a type of warship that can be very popular and can be used to promote it to the international market."

"Just looking at the appearance, I think this ship has good combat effectiveness. Dingping knows how to build ships and understands customer psychology."

"Our type of ship, I just patted my chest and said that those oil-producing countries will definitely like it. It is very suitable for their temperament and does not cost too much money."

A group of professors such as Zhang Gongnong echoed it. They all gave high praise. Such warships are the future sea warships.

"You all said so, what else can I say?"

Sun Yongguo accepted it helplessly, but soon he realized something was wrong, staring at Su Dingping and said, "I have some doubts whether you have been waiting for me for a long time, I feel that you have tricked me."

Soon, Su Dingping took out a model drawing from his handbag and threw it to him directly.

"Since you said I tricked you, I will trick you again."

"If the leader looks for you, you can submit this drawing and let the model factory make some."

Speaking of this, Su Dingping suddenly thought of an important thing, "There is another important point. The transfer of 051C to other shipbuilding bases is also to improve the shipbuilding level of other shipbuilding bases."

"Our navy cannot only have our integrated military factories, but also needs to be everywhere, and the north, south and central must have shipbuilding capabilities."

"There are other large-scale shipyards that also need to have the same capabilities."

"In this regard, I will draft a report and submit it to the chief in person."

He knew very well that with the arrival of the climax of shipbuilding, the integrated military factory would be exposed sooner or later and would become the target of the Western tribes.

If it blooms everywhere, then once the war mode is turned on, no matter how powerful the Western tribes are, it is impossible to destroy all the shipbuilding bases of the Longxia tribe.

As long as other shipbuilding bases can still turn on the explosive mode, the Eagle tribe and even the ambitious tribes in the West will not dare to act rashly.

This involves a major strategic issue, and naturally you will be pushed as you join the trade organization.

And in the future, Longxia's shipbuilding capacity will be the first on Blue Star, which is also a good foreshadowing.

"By the way, Dingping, you have modified it to this extent, the price will not be more expensive than the original one, right?"

Sun Yongguo asked curiously.

"Not much more expensive."

"Besides, after two years of technological progress, the cost of 051C has been reduced a lot, so it can be sold at a lower price."

"If others want something more sci-fi, then give it to them."

"In this way, everyone can afford it and use advanced warships."

Su Dingping patiently explained that both the modified version and the prototype 051C can use some of the technologies on the 052C.

With the rapid development of technology and the improvement of shipbuilding capabilities, the cost of building warships has also been reduced.

"I understand. Let's focus on a product that is good quality, cheap, and damn advanced."

Sun Yongguo was completely convinced. Such a sci-fi warship is not much more expensive than the 051C. Isn't it obvious that it meets the needs of those oil-producing countries?

It can also meet the needs of those tribes that don't have much money but want to improve their coastal defense capabilities.

The same 051C has achieved two benefits.

Such a strange idea, I'm afraid only Su Dingping can have it. He even wants to open its head to see what's inside.

After leaving the integrated military factory, Sun Yongguo rushed to the Northern Fleet Headquarters and met Xu Dongguo in person.

Entered the office.

He didn't even have time to drink a sip of tea before he spoke out Su Dingping's opinion.

"Commander, Dingping is unwilling to build a new 052B production line. I won't go into details about the reason."

"But the solution he proposed is extremely brilliant. It is truly a genius idea. I am completely convinced."

Seeing Sun Yongguo so excited, Xu Dongguo's curiosity was also aroused.

"Oh, how about one exquisite, tell me quickly."

Then Sun Yongguo took out the two pictures of 051C and the modified version of 051C, placed them on the table, and pushed them in front of Xu Dongguo.

"Commander, let me ask you first, do you think these two warships are the same model?"

"This? Since you asked this, they are definitely not the same model."

Hearing this, Sun Yongguo did not keep the secret and said directly: "They are the same warship. According to Dingping, the core of the two ships is the same."

"But they are sold to different targets. This is called precision marketing."

"The turret looks scary from a distance, but it is still five pairs of wheels when you look closely. This is Dingping's original words."
