I built an armada

“Then it’s time to digest related technologies.”

"Look at the many advanced technologies on this ship, our captains haven't understood them yet."

Liu Huaming patted Su Dingping's shoulder gently with his big hand, and said earnestly, "Take a look, train them first, and let them master it first."

"They mastered it and then passed it on to the sailors below."

He was really afraid that Su Dingping would collapse from exhaustion, which would cause immeasurable losses to the navy.

Su Dingping has been really busy during this period. He has received many complaints about Su Dingping not obeying the rest arrangements. He just made use of this time to let him have a good rest.

"Chief, I understand and I will pay attention."

"This 10,000-ton destroyer is our country's first guided-missile destroyer with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. It is not a cruiser."

"In the future, we won't need cruisers either."

"Its combat performance completely surpasses the 052D and the previous 052C. Among our navy's series, its comprehensive combat power ranks first!"

"It is also the first warship for our navy to lead the world trend."

"I'm not bragging, but stating a fact. You will know it after our 10,000-ton drive is made public."

Of course, Su Dingping could understand what Liu Huaming said, so he simply stopped paying attention to the issue of carrier-based aircraft, and instead brought the topic back to the 10,000-ton cruiser.

"These words cheer me up. I will finally be able to see our own 10,000-ton driver in my lifetime."

"Dingping, this 10,000-ton drive hasn't been named yet. As its chief designer, you should give it a name."

Hearing these words, Liu Huaming was filled with emotion and said very movingly.

Unexpectedly, the Longxia Navy would one day own a 10,000-ton destroyer that would lead the world trend, and even set a new record for the tonnage of the Longxia Navy's self-made guided missile destroyer.

It can be said that now is the era when Long Xia Navy has the best equipment.

In the past, the Navy has always been at the bottom of the ranking of the three services, but now it has to lead the world trend in equipment development, and all of this was achieved because of Su Dingping.

"Yes, Dingping, just pick one."

"I'm very optimistic about you. After this ship has a name, it will officially enter the navy."

"Everyone has a name, and this ship must also have its own name. Dingping, you have one."

Xu Dongguo and others echoed from the sidelines. They felt that Su Dingping's name was well deserved, just like naming his own child.

"OK!"

Su Dingping didn't show any pretense, he seriously considered it after accepting the order.

This is the first 10,000-ton ship of the Longxia tribe, so the name needs to be chosen with caution.

"Just call it Guangfuhao."

Guangfuhao?

Everyone looked at each other, all confused.

"Guangfu?"

Xu Dongguo murmured and repeated it, and suddenly his eyes lit up a little, "Dingping, do you mean Dragon Claw Island?"

"That's right, our tribe has not yet achieved complete unification of the mountains and rivers."

Su Dingping said seriously, "Although our navy continues to develop and grow, we are fully confident to compete with the Blue Star powers in the ocean."

"The emergence of this 10,000-ton ship will give a powerful boost to our unification."

"It came for the unification of Long Xia!"

After hearing this, all the leaders were filled with excitement.

Came here specifically for the unification of Long Xia.

What an ambition and what a boost!

"Okay, okay, this name is good, let's call it Guangfu!"

"What a person who came here specifically to unify Long Xia."

"Looking at the Wuchang, we are the only ones who have not unified Longxia. This has also led to many countries criticizing us, and they even often use this to threaten us and gain benefits from us."

"When we have enough Guangfu ships, let's see who dares to blackmail us!"

Qian Wenbing said with great excitement, it was so relieved that he found that Su Dingping understood the navy and the army even more.

As a professional soldier, who wouldn't want to be able to participate in the war to unify Longxia one day?

In the past, the navy was not strong enough. It did not have powerful warships, and it did not have the strength to drive out the enemy. But now the launch of the 10,000-ton cruise ship has directly raised the entire navy's strength to a whole new level.

Now that the navy has become stronger and more confident, it is time to consider unifying Long Xia.

In the past, we were worried about the interference of the Eagle Tribe, which was proven a few years ago. At that time, the navy could only mount land guns on ships and use such crude methods, but now there is no need for it.

With the 10,000-ton large force, no matter what kind of navy the Eagle Tribe comes, they will not be afraid!

Liu Huaming felt uneasy.

The Navy's previous dream was only to defend the country's borders and fight the enemy in offshore areas. The enemy still had the ability to fight back when it came to its doorstep, and to protect the stability of the sea area.

Later, it suddenly developed from a light blue navy to a dark blue navy, and then developed to a navy that could conduct ocean-going operations and block the enemy from outside the country.

And today, with the existence of the Ten Thousand Ton Great Expulsion, it is not impossible to unify Long Xia in his own lifetime.

The development of naval equipment is so fast that it is almost time for leaders like them to dare to think further and draw a more ambitious blueprint.

Even though the update speed is fast, each step is a big step, and it is also very stable!

"Dingping, how are the production lines for this 10,000-ton large drive prepared?"

Liu Huaming suddenly thought of a key issue and asked quickly.

"Commander, after this sea trial, there are still some parameters that need to be adjusted. In about a week, it can be directly delivered to the navy for use."

"In the next period of time, I will increase the training of professors such as Sun Yongguo to cultivate talents first."

"I don't think it will take long to go into production."

After thinking for a while, Su Dingping said seriously.

"After the integrated military factory is expanded, part of it can be used to produce supporting weapons and ammunition."

"Most of the remaining can be used to produce 10,000-ton destroyers. The first one will take a little longer, and the production line needs to be improved, about five months."

"Starting from the second ship, the construction period will be gradually shortened."

"Just..."

Su Dingping paused here.

"Just what?"

Liu Huaming asked quickly.

"Is it a technical problem?"

"Or is it not enough manpower?"

"Or is it not enough land, or the supporting industrial chain is not connected?"

Xu Dongguo and others immediately couldn't sit still and asked hurriedly. They were extremely excited at the moment.

"There is no problem with the technology, and it is not a shortage of manpower. The industrial chain can also be opened up."

Su Dingping smiled bitterly, and then said truthfully, "Chief, the military expenditure is a little insufficient. The previous 180 billion has been used up by more than half, and only about 20 to 30 billion is left."

"If you spend it sparingly, it will be enough for the cost of a 10,000-ton destroyer."

In the past, he would only take it to reality for production after conducting multiple tests in the virtual space of the military industry illustrations, which greatly reduced the cost of trial and error.

The military expenditure in the future is sufficient. In order to save time, this time Su Dingping only tested it three or four times in the virtual space, and then took it directly to the integrated military factory for trial and error while producing.

In this way, the time is caught up, but a lot of funds are consumed, and the speed of military expenditure consumption is also rising.

In fact, there is no way.

After all, it is impossible to achieve balanced development of the two phases. This is all determined by the current situation. The enemy will not give so much time to the Longxia tribe and let it grow slowly.

Therefore, Su Dingping had to make corresponding adjustments. Since he couldn't keep a low profile and develop first, he could only speed up the pace of production.

After listening to Su Dingping's words, Liu Huaming and other naval leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Isn't there more than 30 billion left?

It's not that there are less than 40 to 50 billion military expenses left.

If this is really the case, it will give them a headache.

"Chief, the improved production line is to produce two ships at the same time. There is no way to spend 30 billion, so we can only build one ship first."

"After all, it includes the research and development of various core technologies, the opening of upstream and downstream industrial chains, and the improvement and upgrading of new production lines."

"This is a systematic investment. We owed too much before and had to make up for it."

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Su Dingping continued to speak. He knew very well what military expenditure meant to the navy, but some money had to be spent.

Who said that the industrial chain was too low-end, and he had no choice.

If you want to improve the industrial chain in this environment, you must invest a lot of money to consume the upstream and downstream, and try and make mistakes.

In fact, this is also because the current conditions are very backward, and there is no way to compare with the technology 20 years later, so the cost is at least half more expensive than the 10,000-ton destroyer 20 years later.

Su Dingping was also helpless about this, but there was no way, and he had to face it.

There must always be a trade-off and balance between advanced technology and large amounts of money invested, otherwise the Longxia Navy can only be suppressed by the Eagle Tribe for a long time.

Without a 10,000-ton destroyer in front, the Longxia Navy can only be called a defensive armed force relying on warships such as 052D or 052C.

In Su Dingping's concept, defense is the most unscientific and irrational behavior. Not to mention the large amount of manpower and equipment consumed, it will also cause a situation where nine out of ten defenses are empty.

The best defense lies in offense, punching the fist into the enemy's territory, causing trouble to the enemy, and making the enemy exhausted.

The 10,000-ton destroyer was born under such conditions.

Therefore, the Navy needs to build a large number of 10,000-ton destroyers while vigorously developing missile destroyers such as 052D to ensure that more fists can be thrown out and stab the enemy's heart.

A 10,000-ton destroyer can only be dedicated to defense, but it has no way to bring strategic initiative.

When Liu Huaming and other naval leaders learned that it would cost more than 20 billion to produce a fully equipped 10,000-ton destroyer, they were full of bitterness and helplessness.

The cost of a 052D is only more than 1 billion, and if weapons and ammunition are included, it will not exceed 2 billion.

And when it comes to 10,000-ton destroyers, it has increased by almost 7 times, which is too scary.

However, when they think that the combat performance of the 10,000-ton destroyer completely crushes the 052D, and it is also a strategic-level surface ship in the hands of the Navy, they have nothing to say.

"It's okay, the Navy can afford this military expenditure!"

"Dingping, the same thing, you don't have to worry."

Liu Huaming waved his hand and responded calmly.

But he felt helpless. If it weren't for the "robbery" to sell the warships, and the compensation from the Donghuang tribe, plus the appropriation from the surface, the navy would have sufficient military funds to produce 10,000-ton destroyers and build an integrated military factory.

Otherwise, where would he get so much money?

It's expensive, but there's a reason why it's expensive. A 10,000-ton destroyer is really good.

He has seen that whether it's Xu Dongguo, Qian Wenbing or Xiao Chongjun, they are all eager to try, and it's obvious that they want to put this 10,000-ton destroyer under their fleet.

Even the army chief and the air force chief are salivating over this ship, which is the source of all his confidence now.

In the future, when confronting the Eagle Tribe Navy, he will be more confident and speak more confidently.

Therefore, even if his back teeth are broken, he will get enough military funds for Su Dingping and do a good job as the logistics minister.

Isn't it just military funds?

He can afford it, and he can afford it!

On the other side, the East Wilderness Tribe.

After respectfully sending off the chief of the Eagle Tribe, the cabinet leader immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting.

The conference hall was extremely spacious and bright. The headlights were just like the excitement of the cabinet leader at the moment, flashing dazzling light, illuminating the place as bright as day.

"Everyone, after hours of negotiations between me and the chief, the chief finally gave in."

"We have already obtained the command of the second light aircraft carrier, and the chief is willing to let us use it freely. Our Maritime Self-Defense Force has obtained a major equipment."

"In addition, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the chief to purchase new warships. We will have a batch of new missile destroyers and many new ships."

"As for which ones, both parties need to negotiate."

The cabinet leader's words directly made the cabinet ministers excited.

The Eagle Tribe is finally willing to help them!

This also means that the hard times are finally coming to an end, and they finally see hope.

Think about how bitter the pain and suffering have been for so long, they have all experienced it personally.

Even when attending international occasions, they dare not speak too loudly in front of representatives of other tribes, which is so aggrieved.

If they meet representatives of the Longxia tribe, they can only take a detour and never dare to confront them head-on.

After the chief came here, they finally got what they wanted. They were full of confidence and finally could hold their heads up and be human again.

"Chief, when our new warships arrive and form a new fleet, we must get back at the Longxia tribe."

"We must avenge this!"

The Minister of Defense spoke first, with a cold light flashing in his eyes and murderous intent.

His opening was like a spark that lit a fuse, and immediately ignited the cabinet ministers.

"That's right, we must get back our grievances, beat the Longxia tribe to a pulp, and bring shame upon them so that they will never dare to provoke us again!"
