Chapter 381 Visiting Yazhou Naval Base

Zhao Nan quickly returned from the military region and brought a reply from the military region. He had officially approved Yazhou Base's request to participate in the development of Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay. Wuzhizhou Island will also be leased to the Fang family for seventy years. It can be

It was said that everything went smoothly. However, it took a lot of effort for Qi Yan to raise funds. In the end, she got a loan from a bank and got together the funds. Together with Zhao Nan, she and Zhao Nan hold 20% of the shares. They just waited for Fang Mingyuan to officially contact the Yazhou Municipal Government.

Sign the agreements to develop Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, and these agreements will come into effect.

When Zhao Nan formally signed the agreement with Fang Mingyuan, although he didn't say much, he was still quite excited and even took the initiative to invite Fang Mingyuan and the others to visit the base.

Mr. and Mrs. Fang and Mr. and Mrs. Li Zilin were old and were not interested in these, so they stayed in the villa and did not come. However, Fang Mingyuan, Li Yuxin and others showed great interest in being able to get close contact with the warships with their own eyes.

Yu Qiuxia, who was a little curious about the Republic Navy, also took Qing'er to the Yazhou Naval Base.

Regarding Zhao Nan's invitation, Fang Mingyuan once asked Lu Liang curiously. Doesn't this violate the confidentiality regulations of the base? China's military bases are rarely open to the public. Even if it is just an ordinary infantry battalion, if you want to go in and see

Look, it is not an easy thing for many ordinary people. Yazhou Naval Base may be the largest military base in the southernmost part of China. If you let people like you enter, will it bring anything to Zhao Nan and Lu Liang?

trouble?

At that time, Lu Liang couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face. This made Fang Mingyuan feel a little strange. There was nothing unusual about his question? Lu Liang just said in the end, you will understand when you get to the base.

The convoy set out from Yalong Bay, followed the coastline to the west, passed Haitang Bay and traveled for more than ten miles before arriving at the gate of Yazhou Naval Base. Since Lu Liang came to greet him personally, the convoy passed quickly.

Passed the gate inspection and drove into the interior of the base.

If the sea is a battlefield where warships gallop, then a military port is an anchorage where sailors live. As the place with the most complete support facilities for naval vessels, the military port is also an important rear base for ships to go to sea. At all times and in all countries, the advantages and disadvantages of supporting engineering construction of military ports,

It can be said that it is directly related to the combat effectiveness level of the navy. In his past life, this was the first time in his life that Fang Mingyuan had the opportunity to set foot in a regular military base, so he was really looking forward to it. Yu Qiuxia, who was sitting next to him, held the

Qing'er, mother and daughter also looked around curiously.

After entering the base gate, a straight avenue leads directly to the main office building of the base. On both sides of the road, there are training fields everywhere, and there are many soldiers on the field conducting various trainings. Various slogans

The shouting was so loud that it shook the sky.

"Political Commissar Lu, there are so many officers and soldiers in your base?" Fang Mingyuan pointed at the soldiers on the training ground outside the window and said in surprise. Although Fang Mingyuan was not very clear about China's ship models and the standard number of officers and soldiers, he still

Remember, a frigate or destroyer, depending on the degree of modernization of the ship, generally requires 200 to 300 people. Unless it is an aircraft carrier, it generally does not exceed this number. Only the soldiers he saw on the training ground along the way

, it is estimated that there are nearly a thousand people. If we include sea combat readiness patrols, maritime training, theoretical study, office civilian staff and logistics supply department personnel, the total number of people in Yazhou Naval Base is quite considerable.

"Master Fang, you are wrong!" It seems that this is not the first time Lu Liang has faced such a problem. He quickly realized what Fang Mingyuan meant and said with an embarrassed look, "These days, there are no ships out to sea for patrol and training, but on land

, we can’t be idle, so we can only conduct physical training according to the actual situation.”

Fang Mingyuan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly. Although Lu Liang spoke more cryptically, he already understood. It seemed that the financial situation of the Yazhou Naval Base was indeed worrying. Even the expenses for maritime patrols and training could not make ends meet.

Although he already knew in his previous life that in the 1990s, the Chinese military was having a very difficult time. Prices were rising and equipment upgrades were becoming more and more expensive. However, the proportion of military expenditures in national expenditures was

There are fewer and fewer, and the result is that military factories have been converted from military to civilian, or have to reduce production and stop production. The replacement of military equipment has slowed down, and the training intensity of soldiers has decreased. Services like the Army are slightly better, like the Air Force and the Navy.

For such a highly technical military unit, as long as it is trained, it means that RMB is wasted, but without training, how can the soldiers master the technology skillfully, so this life is even more miserable.

The motorcade drove until it stopped in front of the building. Zhao Nan was already standing in front of the building with the officers from the base. Fifty million yuan was already an astonishing sum of money in the 1990s.

Even Zhao Nan and the others did not expect that an undeveloped island with a small area could be rented out at such a sky-high price. Moreover, Fang Mingyuan readily agreed to use the 50 million yuan equity as a mortgage to lend to the four bases.

Ten million yuan, this is like timely rain for the Yazhou Naval Base, which is already financially strapped. Therefore, Zhao Nan and the others can be said to be very welcoming to the arrival of Fang Mingyuan and the others.

"Mrs. Guo, Mr. Fang, welcome to visit Yazhou Naval Base!" Zhao Nan stepped forward, shook hands with the two of them and smiled, "I hope you can spend a happy day here."

"Commander Zhao is so polite. I have been curious about the navy of my motherland for a long time. I would also like to thank Commander Zhao for giving me this opportunity to get close to the warships." Yu Qiuxia said with a smile.

"Then we will fully satisfy Mrs. Guo's curiosity today. However, our base is small in scale and the ships parked are not the most advanced in our country. I am afraid that Mrs. Guo, who is used to the British Royal Navy, will be disappointed by then." Zhao

Nanhaha laughed.

"No matter how backward the ships are, they belong to us Chinese people! No matter how powerful the British fleet is, they still belong to the British! I believe that the motherland's navy will eventually grow stronger and catch up one day," Yu Qiuxia said.

, which immediately won her a lot of favor in the minds of many officers at the Yazhou Naval Base. Many people nodded secretly. The Guo family is indeed a patriotic businessman in Hong Kong. From Yu Qiuxia's words,

It can be heard that although they were under the rule of the British colonial government, they still considered themselves to be descendants of the Yan and Huang people.

Zhao Nan laughed, stretched out his hand and said: "Mrs. Guo, Mr. Fang, please!"

The office building of Yazhou Naval Base is a six-story building built in the 1960s. It looks very solid, but when you enter it, you can still see the erosion of the years. Fang Mingyuan noticed that the eyes in the building

Everywhere he looked was clean, but occasionally when he passed by an office, he could see that the office equipment inside was quite old. Many tables and chairs looked like they might be older than him. From here

At this point, Fang Mingyuan realized more clearly that Yazhou Naval Base was really not an ordinary poor person.

"I'm sorry, we didn't consider that VIPs like Mrs. Guo and Mr. Fang would come to visit, so we didn't have facilities like elevators. So we had to trouble Mrs. Guo and Mr. Fang to climb the stairs." Everyone.

Going up the stairs, Zhao Nan said a little apologetically.

Yu Qiuxia smiled sweetly and said: "It doesn't matter, Commander Zhao, I think this is also a way to exercise all the time. In Hong Kong, many people use vehicles, elevators, air conditioners all year round, and the amount of activity they do on weekdays

It's not enough, which leads to a decline in physical fitness. Many health experts have repeatedly called for strengthening physical exercise and improving physical fitness. And I am ready today." She pointed to her feet. Zhao Nan and the others

Only then did they notice that Yu Qiuxia's feet were not high-heeled shoes, but a pair of white travel shoes. Everyone laughed knowingly.

Accompanied by Zhao Nan and others, Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxia visited the office building and the honor room of the Yazhou Naval Base... and then took a bus to the dock of the base.

As soon as they got off the car, the eyes of Fang Mingyuan, Yu Qiuxia and others were attracted by the ships parked on the pier. This was the first time in two lifetimes for Fang Mingyuan to see the warships of the motherland so close. Although he knew that these ships

Compared with the main ships of European and American countries, the warships are definitely far behind, but I am still very excited. Without a strong navy, it is impossible to protect the country's maritime borders. On China's long coastline, enemies can launch attacks everywhere.

Loopholes. In this regard, whether in the Qing Dynasty's several invasion wars or during the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese landed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, the Chinese people have been invaded by enemies from the sea time and time again. That is a heavy lesson.

, making everyone who cares about the motherland’s border defense realize the importance of the motherland’s coastal defense construction.

"Yazhou Naval Base currently has one domestically produced Type 051 destroyer and three Jianghu-class frigates as its main warships. Madam Guo and Fang Shao, these are the Jianghu-class frigates." Zhao Nan pointed to the ships ahead and said, "They can

It is said to be the main ship equipment of our navy and the current backbone of its force."

"Over there, the one with larger tonnage and longer hull is the Type 051 destroyer, which is often called the Luda-class destroyer." Zhao Nan pointed to a larger warship further away.

Luda-class destroyer? Fang Mingyuan's eyes immediately followed Zhao Nan's hand and pointed to that side. To be honest, Fang Mingyuan, who knew only a little about military equipment in his previous life, had no idea about the domestically produced ships, except for the modern-class destroyers that were later imported from Russia.

In addition, I also have some impressions of this brigade-class destroyer.
