Warship of Great Power

On the rostrum, Qin Tao spoke enthusiastically.

"Today is a special day. The warships we built for African customers are delivered together. This is a reflection of the shipbuilding strength of our Mingzhou Group!"

"Relying on advanced equipment, mature technology, and skilled workers, our shipbuilding cycle has been shortened to two years. Within two years, we can complete the entire delivery process from steel plate cutting to Mingzhou speed. This is Dongfang speed." speed!"

No country can build ships so fast, not even a destroyer! However, with the continuous use of advanced equipment, the shipbuilding cycle of Mingzhou Group is so short!

In the shipyard, everything from cutting steel plates to cutting, bending and welding is fully automatic. At the same time, during segment welding, the internal equipment is pre-assembled, and many of the assemblies are also performed by automatic equipment. , countless robotic arms move back and forth, reflecting the beauty of the intelligent era.

As the speed increases, the cost also decreases. Mingzhou Group's construction cost is the lowest in the world, and no other country's shipbuilding industry can match it!

Qin Tao's speech quickly spread throughout the world.

U.K.

"They built a 60,000-ton amphibious ship in two years! They still have orders for two 60,000-ton amphibious ships! Their shipbuilding industry is running at full capacity, but what about us?"

They had their glory days. They built two 65,000-ton Queen-class aircraft carriers, and then there was no more!

These two warships are already the last sunset of the empire. Now they are not equipped with enough carrier-based aircraft and escort warships, but they still want to modify them to give the warships greater combat effectiveness.

"Our aircraft carrier is the strongest. Their aircraft carrier has no combat effectiveness. If it is on the battlefield, we will soon be sent to the bottom of the sea! Humph, when we occupied the world, they were still playing in the mud!"

Unconsciously, the British also began to like to talk about the past, as if this was the only way to make them feel proud and satisfied.

"Yes, we are the most powerful. When our carrier-based aircraft and escort warships are ready, we will go over and sail freely!"

Asan.

The Cochin Shipyard is busy. Although the demonstration work has not been completed, the scaffolding has been erected and the cutting work can start at any time.

"Hmph, two years is nothing special. When our shipyard here is repaired, we can also build our Vishal aircraft carrier in two years!"

"That's right, that ship is still an amphibious assault ship. It has no combat capability and is nondescript. Our aircraft carrier Vishal is the best in the world!"

USA.

"They are about to deliver another batch of warships, including three aircraft carriers. Damn it, the world is in chaos!" Someone said angrily: "In the future, no matter where our aircraft carriers go, they will encounter aircraft carriers from other countries. This reminds me of the crazy period before World War I, when countries were tightening their belts and building battleships.”

"Yes, we should prepare another treaty to limit naval arms! If this continues, navies around the world will lose control!"

"Humph, it's out of control." Some people said coldly: "Even if we need to restrict it now, how should we restrict it? What is the proportion?"

During World War I, all countries were constantly competing with each other. Each battleship was bigger and more luxurious than the other, but it also meant terrible expenses. It was an arms race that no one wanted to see.

Therefore, at the 1922 conference in Washington, the five naval powers at the time signed a treaty limiting their respective total tonnage and proportions.

The meeting was successful at that time, at least it gave all countries a breath of relief, but that was then, and this is now.

Now we want to sign a treaty, with whom and at what proportion?

The U.S. Navy is still the strongest in the world. Taken individually, none of the navies of other countries are enough to fill their teeth. However, if they are integrated together, they will be enough to give Americans a headache.

The naval strength in the oil region has greatly increased, so much so that the last time the United States sent the decommissioned Ticonderoga class to the Davidians in order to increase its strength there, it was sunk when it arrived. Although the Yankees were very Angry, but didn't end up personally.

They dare not.

The big dog owners have assembled a powerful naval alliance, and the outside world is no longer allowed to interfere in local affairs.

Now, this trend is also happening in Africa. When these warships return, Africa will not let them get involved!

What should they do?

"Damn it, how could the world become like this!"

Of course they don't know that Qin Tao has silently worked hard for more than ten years to create this situation.

At this time, Qin Tao can proudly announce that we are doing this for world peace!

"We have always believed that the world needs diversity, and all countries should have the ability to protect themselves. We are also willing to contribute our own strength to enhance the national defense of each country. The world can only be better if it is multi-polar!"

Qin Tao is just a shipbuilder and a group boss, but he can still use his actual actions to make the world a better place!

"Five years ago, we delivered a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier to the Guinean Navy. Unfortunately, it burned down due to various accidents. Now, we have built an aircraft carrier with a larger displacement for the Guinean Navy! We believe that this aircraft carrier Can make greater contributions to protecting Guinea and maintaining world peace!”

"The carrier-based aircraft carried on this aircraft carrier also come from our east. There are J-31s that take off and land vertically, and Z-30s that take off and land vertically! Especially the Z-30s, its emergence is a breakthrough in helicopter technology. Revolutionary, it not only has the take-off and landing capabilities of a helicopter, but also has the cruising speed of a fixed-wing aircraft! Moreover, we have installed an early warning radar on this tilt-rotor aircraft, making it a modern early warning aircraft! Used on many aircraft carriers.”

The Englishman opened his eyes again.

The Orientals have matured the tilt-rotor aircraft and installed an early warning radar on this aircraft. From then on, there is another type of early warning aircraft!

Their British aircraft carriers also need this kind of early warning aircraft. There will be no future relying solely on the Sea King.

But, they didn't!

"Why are the most advanced technologies in the East!" They were very depressed.

"We also welcome navies from all over the world to come and buy!" Qin Tao continued: "We can compare it. The cost of a Queen-class aircraft carrier built in the UK is US$5 billion. If you purchase it from us, it will not only be With an aircraft carrier, we can also equip it with carrier-based aircraft! We have always believed that professional matters should be left to professionals, and the UK can completely leave the aircraft carrier to us. "

"Nonsense, this is simply humiliating us!" Looking at this video, the British man was completely angry.

Are you kidding us? The UK is the most powerful and you actually let us place an order to purchase aircraft carriers from you?

However, they think highly of themselves, and Qin Tao is certainly not talking about them alone.

"At the same time, we also call on the U.S. Navy to hand over the construction of your Ford-class aircraft carrier to us. Our quotation is only half of the quotation from your domestic shipyards! At present, we already have mature 003 aircraft carrier, nuclear reactor technology and electromagnetic catapult technology They are all mature, and we can definitely help the U.S. Navy fulfill your long-cherished wish.”

Faced with this goodwill, the U.S. Navy remained silent.

The United States' own shipbuilding industry has high quotations, long cycle times, and it is still difficult to figure out. The Ford aircraft carrier is a living example. If it is handed over to the Mingzhou Group...

How can it be! If it is really handed over to the Mingzhou Group, then on the battlefield, as long as they send an order, the aircraft carriers here will probably have to lie down!

The domestic shipbuilding industry is not up to par. It is also shipbuilding, so why is the gap so big?

After Qin Tao finished speaking with emotion, he went on to the topic.

"At the same time, for ordinary countries, we recommend amphibious assault ships with a displacement of 20,000 tons, and mainly carry drones. We can see that drones are playing an increasingly important role on the battlefield. In the future The era belongs to drones..."

Qin Tao had not appeared in public for a long time. This time he talked freely for more than half an hour, and then it was the shipowner's representative's turn to speak.

Americo walked onto the stage with excitement on his face.

"The East is our best friend! Over the years, we have deeply realized this! If there were no Eastern friends, then we would be a group of puppets and a group of wretches. But now, we are the masters of the African continent!"

“The future of our Africa will be like that of the oil region, and our African affairs will be decided by ourselves!”

Representatives from the Rainbow Nation and Algeria also came on stage, and an hour passed.

"Okay, now I declare that the ship delivery ceremony is officially over, let us watch the fleet set sail!"

Woo, woo!

The tallest 076 amphibious assault ship blew its whistle and slowly left the port. Its appearance looked more spectacular than the Queen class, and its deck also had a certain outward sway. It had a larger deck area than the 075 and carried carrier-based aircraft. More quantity. Under the bow of the ship, the previous hull number of 075 is still spray-painted, and the name of Guinea is also written.

There is only one aircraft carrier in the Guinean Navy, and it is impossible to have more aircraft carriers, so it is still named after the Guinea.

It does not have an electromagnetic catapult, nor does it have a beveled deck. If ordinary people see it, they will definitely regret it. Why not add something? It should be more powerful with increased performance!

In fact, this is simply not understanding the difference between an aircraft carrier and an amphibious assault ship.

The amphibious assault ship is used to perform amphibious operations, and the carrier-based aircraft on the deck are also used to cover the beachhead attack. It is not the core of the naval formation and is not responsible for the battle for air and sea supremacy.

Therefore, there are many third-rate articles in later generations, which talk endlessly about how powerful the 076 is, what kind of electromagnetic catapult it has, and how many aircraft it can carry, but they never talk about the size of the hangar or the area of ​​the dock. This is a lack of understanding of amphibious assault ships. The difference from an aircraft carrier.

Of course, for weak countries, amphibious ships are the largest ones and can be used as aircraft carriers. Even if they only carry the J-31A, they can move sideways in their own territory.

Moreover, since the displacement is already in the 60,000-ton level, its deck looks similar to that of the British Queen-class. It will not appear crowded to operate thirty aircraft on the deck at the same time, and the dispatch of aircraft is also very convenient.

Woo, woo!

Two 20,000-ton amphibious ships also came out one after another. These two ships usually carry drones and helicopters. They can also operate the J-31A's takeoff and landing when needed. They are all-rounders. Their roles are The appearance means that Africa has two more motherships, which will be more capable of dealing with complex situations in the future.

These three warships moved out, and then it was the destroyer's turn.

In order to match the 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, the customer also ordered four 052CEs, which are almost identical to the Jubail class of the dog big family, with luxurious configurations. I wonder how many people will envy the four-sided phased array.

The British must be the most uncomfortable. They built aircraft carriers, but they had no money to build destroyers. They had to cut a few Type 45 destroyers, which were not many to begin with. In the future, their aircraft carrier formation will be even more lonely, even worse than Guinea.

The Guinean Navy is mainly based on this aircraft carrier, with four 052s and a few 054s. The lineup is absolutely luxurious!

This wave of warships sailing out of the Mingzhou Shipyard is enough to abuse many medium-sized countries!

However, for a while, it was indeed impossible to find so many crew members. With the level of the black fans, when operating AK, they knew that it was not that the larger the sight, the greater the power. It was already very good to choose different sights according to different distances. It was absolutely impossible to operate the Aegis battleship skillfully.

The most skilled one must be the Eastern Navy, but now the Eastern Navy is also producing advanced warships one after another. The navy's strength is constantly expanding, and personnel are always facing the problem of shortage, so it is impossible to help operate so many warships back.

Fortunately, the Mingzhou Group is full of talents. A group of technicians were sent with the ship, plus some old Russian sailors recruited by Vitalia, plus some smart black guys, which solved the problem of warship operation.

The fleet was mighty, opened the estuary and came to the sea.

On the Guinea, Americo stood on the island, extremely excited. Finally, it was an aircraft carrier again, and finally he could be the boss in Africa again!

"Report, our fleet is about to fly!"

"Prepare to receive the aircraft!" Americo nodded.

The aircraft have been built, and several of them have been tested for take-off and landing and have been put into the hangar. The large fleet is still behind.

Soon, a group of black people flew over the sea.

First, the stealth J-31A fighter jets painted navy gray slowly landed according to the markings painted on the deck, and then were towed to the parking area or hangar in an orderly manner by the deck staff, and the elevators were constantly busy.

The second batch was the Z-30, of which two aircraft with triangular radar antennas were the most dazzling. This is a high-end carrier-based early warning aircraft! With the support of advanced Eastern technology, tilt-rotor aircraft can also carry early warning radars!

When this aircraft landed, it was immediately dragged into the hangar as if it were a lifeline. Americo stood in the hangar with a smile on his face: "Lady Vitalia, welcome to our warship."

Vitalia is here too! It was not convenient for her to show up directly, so she did not participate in the delivery ceremony, but went to the aircraft factory and followed these aircraft. At this time, standing in the hangar, looking at the aircraft that were constantly being dragged in, Vitalia was very satisfied.

"Americo, are you satisfied with this warship?"

"Satisfied, satisfied!" Americo nodded repeatedly: "Lady Vitalia, this warship is better than the previous one! By the way, your room is ready for you, you..."

"Don't worry, go to the bridge first, watch our plane land, and then go to the pilot preparation room for a meeting. After dark, I will go to the deck to take a look."

You can't see it during the day, so go to the deck at night under the moonlight to experience the power of this warship!

"Okay."

On the bridge, Vitalia looked down and watched the last drone land. She was impressed by the power of Eastern technology. In the future, maybe these planes will be drones.

In the pilot preparation room, more than 60 pilots sat neatly, and drone operators also sat in a corner, distinguished by different armbands.

They have different skin colors, eyes, and hair, but they all have the same belief in their eyes.

Wana is a mercenary, and mercenary soldiers are paid to work, and pilots are no exception. If they can get access to the best equipment while working hard, it will be even more exciting!

So, although there is a shortage of people to operate the warship, there is no problem with the pilots operating the aircraft.

There are a total of 20 J-31A aircraft, which requires 20 pilots, 20 Z-30 aircraft, each requires two pilots, and there must be an additional three radar officers on the early warning aircraft. It is not easy to get everyone together now.

"You are all the most elite pilots in Wana. This time you have world-class equipment, and you should know what this means."

"Yes, we know that it will be more exciting to fly in the future!" Igor Valenchenko, an old pilot of the fighter wing, said with a smile: "This plane flies much better than the rabbit I flew before."

Everyone laughed.

They are all mercenaries, earning money by risking their lives. Valenchenko once participated in the battle between the Democratic Republic of Congo and its neighbor Angola. In this conflict known as the Carrot War, he was flying a MiG-21MF that had been over-serviced and long scrapped. He used it to achieve three kills and many ground attack results.

However, Valenchenko has a bad taste. He drew a rabbit on his vertical tail. Rabbits eat carrots.

Later, because of his superb skills, he was spotted by Wana and joined the Wana mercenary army. He has been a pilot. Before, he flew fighter planes smuggled from Da Mao and Er Mao. This time, he can finally fly a new one!

"The key is that it has first-class stealth. I can't wait to fly it over the Americans' heads and shit on them!" Another old pilot spoke up. Most of them regarded the Americans as their opponents.

"Then you wait. There will definitely be such an opportunity." Vitalia said.
