I built an armada

Then we fought in vain, didn’t we?

“Will the leaders agree?”

Wan Long still had some doubts.

“Yes.”

Su Dingping smiled and nodded, “In the past, the leaders would naturally think that the matter would end here and the peace would be enough if they had taken advantage of it.”

“But now, with the rapid increase in strength, the leaders will not be satisfied.”

Hearing this, Wan Long instantly understood that the strength had changed the mentality of those leaders.

Before, being cautious was the first priority, but now what is needed is to take the initiative and show the momentum, so that others will not take advantage of it.

The powerful naval fleet has given the leaders a strong confidence!

Su Dingping patted Wanlong on the shoulder and said, "Okay, we still have a lot of things to do, don't worry about those things for now. Help me carry this box over first."

"Okay."

Wanlong was full of energy and shouted, "Let's build a few more 10,000-ton destroyers. Sooner or later, we will show the Eagle Tribe some color and let them know that our Longxia Tribe is not so easy to mess with."

Su Dingping paused suddenly and suddenly recalled the days when he had money before and could spend military expenses crazily.

The source of funds was a light aircraft carrier robbed from the Donghuang Tribe.

It was sold for billions of dollars.

It's so refreshing to make money like this.

With a large amount of capital investment, both scientific research and production can be much faster.

Thinking of this, Su Dingping had to admit that if it weren't for the light aircraft carrier "invested" by the Donghuang Tribe and the compensation of tens of billions of dollars after the defeat, his scientific research progress would not have been so fast. He had been constrained by funds and had to choose to slow down.

To put it bluntly, it is absolutely impossible to do scientific research without money.

"If I can make more extra money this time, it will be much better."

Su Dingping had to admit that the original accumulation of capital is really very important and extremely critical.

Money is not omnipotent, but it can solve 99% of the problems in the world. The remaining 1% is that the money invested is not enough.

Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or transportation, it really doesn't work without money!

This is especially true for integrated military factories. Without a lot of financial support, let alone building a tall building on flat ground, I am afraid that even firing a brick and a tile is impossible.

"Wanlong, help me contact the Navy Command now."

"I have something important to tell them."

"Quick."

Seeing Su Dingping so anxious, Wanlong immediately took out the satellite phone and contacted the Navy Headquarters at the fastest speed.

Navy Headquarters Base Command Center.

"Chief, there is an emergency call from the integrated military factory."

The staff hurriedly brought out the satellite phone, and Liu Huaming and other chiefs were stunned.

At this critical moment, Su Dingping suddenly called, which seemed unusual.

"What's the matter?"

"Report to the chief, I don't know, it's General Su who is anxious to talk to you about something."

Hearing that it was Su Dingping's personal request, Liu Huaming did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly took it to answer.

"Dingping, I'm Liu Huaming, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Su Dingping hurriedly said: "Chief, you must tell Zhou Qinglei and others that the other ships can be abandoned, but the aircraft carrier of the Thousand Buddha Tribe must be seized."

Xu Dongguo and others who thought something had happened were listening with their ears erect. After hearing this, they all showed a helpless expression on their faces.

Liu Huaming was embarrassed and asked: "Dingping, at this critical moment, is it inappropriate to still think about an aircraft carrier?"

In fact, what he wanted to say was that according to the development strategy of the navy, what was needed was a large aircraft carrier, preferably a nuclear-powered one.

There is no use keeping such a light aircraft carrier. Just repairing and maintaining it will cost money.

And the navy does not have enough talents to operate it, let alone spare money to invest in it.

"Commander, there is nothing wrong."

Su Dingping took a deep breath and explained very seriously, "This aircraft carrier was sold to the Thousand Buddhas by the Eagle Tribe a few years ago. We can use it for research and sell it for money."

"We don't use it ourselves, we sell it."

"Commander, we are short of money. Don't you want to take this opportunity to make money?"

"At present, we can only afford a 10,000-ton destroyer. The remaining money has been used for other purposes. We can't just run out of food later, right?"

When he heard about money, Liu Huaming felt a little dazed and his head immediately became bigger.

Money!

What he feared most now was the mention of money.

Although he went to the integrated military factory with Xue Shuai two days ago, Xue Shuai also said that military expenses were not a problem.

But Su Dingping still gave them a bigger pie, building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which is a large surface ship that is more advanced and more powerful than the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier.

He didn't even dare to mention how much money it would cost.

He was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it and suddenly stop beating.

There is also an integrated military factory for the three services. The infrastructure alone will be a huge project, which will definitely require a lot of money...

This also includes various subsequent carrier-based aircraft, as well as carrier-based aircraft production lines, etc. Which one does not require money? He didn't dare to ask a word.

He knew very well that by asking, he was causing trouble for himself.

If Su Dingping asked for one or two billion US dollars, he would not be able to find a place to cry at that time.

"Actually, Dingping's opinion cannot be considered."

"Although the war situation has reached a critical moment, it does not seem to affect the capture of the Gabet aircraft carrier."

Xu Dongguo on the side took a sip of tea, weighed the pros and cons, and reminded in a low voice.

"That's right, selling it for money if you can snatch it is indeed a good idea."

"The idea of ​​​​Dingping is fine. When it comes to war, it's all about making money. If we don't pay, we'll take other people's money."

"Chief, we can adopt Dingping's suggestion."

Several chiefs agreed one after another. They all knew that despite the glamor on the surface, the navy was actually so short of money that they almost cried.

Now Su Dingping proposes to seize the enemy's aircraft carrier and sell it for money to alleviate the dilemma of insufficient military expenditure. This is a good thing to kill rabbits, why not do it?

The worst case scenario is that after wiping out the remaining warships, they can then single-handedly surround the aircraft carrier Gabbert, force it to surrender, and then pull it back.

Stealing the aircraft carrier of the Thousand Buddha Tribe is indeed a way to make a fortune.

Liu Huaming risked his life for the development of the navy.

"Dingping, I have adopted your opinion and I will inform Zhou Qinglei right away."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Huaming and other leaders all showed wry smiles.

When they finally made more than 20 billion US dollars last year, they laughed for a long time and couldn't sleep at night.

When had the Navy ever been so wealthy?

But just over a year has passed, and all of a sudden we are back to before liberation. The lack of money is so maddening.

"In more than a year, not only have 20 billion US dollars disappeared, but we are also short of money."

Xu Dongguo smiled bitterly, "Thinking about the $20 billion back then, it made me so excited that I couldn't sleep for several nights. Who knew it would be spent so quickly."

"Money is becoming more and more unusable. More than 100 billion US dollars simply cannot withstand two years of consumption."

Qian Wenbing couldn't help but cursed, "I now damn know why those guys disliked our navy so much in the past. It's all because our navy was built entirely with money."

"Without enough money, we can't even fight a decent war."

Then, Xiao Chongjun also took up the conversation: "Without money, how could we have such good equipment and achieve such an unprecedented victory in just a few minutes?"

"To put it bluntly, the development of our navy requires a lot of military spending."

The discussions among several subordinate generals naturally reflected the fact that the Navy was a veritable spender of money.

Liu Huaming showed a helpless smile on his face and said directly: "Although we burn money very quickly, as you said, our navy is developing faster."

"Every loss must be a gain. All the money we spend is worth it."

"If we hadn't lost so much money, let alone grabbing the aircraft carrier, we wouldn't have a 10,000-ton cruiser at all, let alone an advanced warship like the 052D."

As he spoke, his emotions became excited.

"If our navy hadn't been lucky enough to meet Su Dingping, even if we burned tens of billions of dollars, it would have been useless. The navy's situation would be one-tenth of what it is now, even if it was burned. Very fragrant.”

"Everyone, it's time for us to be content."

Liu Huaming's words were unanimously agreed by everyone. The current navy is the product of the combination of Su Dingping and Qian.

If you have money, you can't live without Su Dingping.

It’s not possible to have Su Dingping without money!

Both are indispensable!

"Chief, the lesson is that we just said it casually."

Xu Dongguo and others naturally agreed very much and responded with a smile.

They all knew that Liu Huaming was telling the truth.

The same amount of money has completely different effects in the hands of different people.

If other professors were engaged in scientific research, I am afraid that this money would have been burned out long ago. Not to mention advanced guided missile destroyers like the 052D, even the 052C may still be in the state of scientific research.

Of course, if there were not the powerful 052C and 052D being put into service in batches, I am afraid that even the aircraft carrier of Donghuanghai would not be able to get back.

Not to mention defeating the independent forces of Donghuanghai and forcing them to surrender and pay compensation, naturally they would not be able to earn so much extra money.

If the navy wants to compete with other tribes in the East Continent waters, or even sweep more than 20 warships from the combined fleet of the three tribes like it is now, it must have income.

And that aircraft carrier must be obtained no matter what!

After analyzing the powerful relationship clearly, Liu Huaming's eyes flashed with perseverance and he made a decisive decision.

"Then I will offend the Thousand Buddha Tribe, and I will be responsible for any infamy!"

"Contact Zhou Qinglei immediately and ask him to snatch the Gabet aircraft carrier from me no matter what."

"Send another group of comprehensive support ships over to drag the Gabet aircraft carrier back to me!"

Zhang Zhaoxin, who was not far away, heard his blood boiling all over. The navy should do such an extremely domineering thing, just to make those tribes who make trouble against the Longxia tribe remember that there is a price to pay for fighting!

"Yes, Chief!"

Zhang Zhaoxin immediately accepted the order, turned around and walked out.

Compared to the excitement of the naval chiefs, the Tiexue Forum was quiet.

Although there were more than 200,000 military fans and netizens gathered here, very few people spoke. They were all eagerly waiting for the latest news.

At present, except for the news of military exercises, no other news has been released.

Even though there are many powerful netizens who search for news on the Internet, they still have no gains, as if there is no news.

Everything is quiet.

For them, no news is the biggest news, proving that historical events are happening, but no one knows about it.

The more this happens, the more nervous they become, and they keep refreshing the webpage frantically.

Some people even go to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to wait, and some ask for information through connections, hoping to get the news of this stage as soon as possible.

In fact, they don’t know that the ongoing naval battle in the South China Sea, let alone the outside world, even the intelligence agencies of those powerful tribes that are all-pervasive, know nothing at this time.

Almost all netizens were still in a state of confusion. They had no intention of doing anything else, and they were all worried.

There was even a clock on the homepage of Tiexue Forum, showing: 11:45.

As time passed quietly and the next day was getting closer and closer, netizens could no longer sit still.

"Brothers, it's already 11:45. There are still more than seven hours before the chief sets out. I'm afraid the chief is still asleep, but we can't sleep at all."

"Damn it, I really want to throw a bomb at the Donghuang tribe to wake up the old guy. Why is he, who has stirred up the situation in the East Continent, sleeping soundly while we have to wait here for news?"

"The Eagle Tribe has dispatched a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group, plus the three tribes' joint fleet. With such a large-scale maritime force, we have no chance of winning. Just thinking about it, I feel it's so difficult. The navy may be in trouble this time. It's all the fault of the damn chief."

"Don't mention it. There are wars everywhere on Blue Star. The Western Alliance is also going to fight with the White Bear Tribe. This time I'm afraid it will be the unprecedented third Blue Star War."

"Not only in Europe, but also in our surrounding tribes. Ask which one is a good thing? I heard that the White Elephant Tribe and the Iron Monkey Tribe are sharpening their knives and preparing to take advantage of the chaos to attack us. "

"Damn it, on weekdays, the White Elephant Tribe and the Iron Monkey Tribe are so dishonest and like to jump around. Now that we are in this crisis, they are probably going to take advantage of the situation and rob us."

"They are just a bunch of bastards. I really want to wipe them all out!"

"Alas, our country has suffered so many disasters. Falling behind means being beaten for other tribes, but for us, falling behind means not having a day of peace. I pray that our tribe can survive this and become stronger as soon as possible!"

"Not being strong is no good. The Western powers led by the Eagle Tribe are suppressing and containing us in various ways. We need to redouble our efforts."

"Not long ago, I saw those immigrants mourning their parents, but today they are all decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. "
