Chapter 79 We are confident! The beginning of the navy's takeoff!
Just when Zhang Gongnong reported the observation results to the chief, on the sea area.
In the main control room of Eastern Fleet 956E, Cao Youren stared blankly at the smoke filling the deck, unable to recover for a while.
Lost?
The optimized 956E actually failed! Our Eastern Fleet has been completely wiped out!
Recalling that he had sworn to Xiao Chongjun in the communication channel that he would deal with the Southern Fleet, he didn't expect that he would be defeated so happily.
He suddenly felt a burning pain on his face.
"Damn it, let the Southern Fleet take first place this time!"
The deputy captain on the side said: "Captain, after all, the 956E of the Southern Fleet was optimized two months ahead of us. It is understandable that there have been technological breakthroughs in these two months! We did not lose unjustly."
"Oh! This is the truth, but I just can't accept it. Wu Ruoming, while reporting to the chief, took the opportunity to sneak attack on us. He figured it out by attacking us in the east and in the west."
Cao Youren sighed heavily and said with some dejection: "That's it, go back."
Southern Fleet 956E main control room.
"Report Captain, the Eastern Fleet has also been completely destroyed."
Wu Ruoming listened to the radar monitor's report with an expression of surprise on his face.
When he heard Cao Youren's words on the communication channel before, he knew that the protagonist of this military training was destined to be the Northern Fleet.
"The dark horse, the Northern Fleet is the dark horse!" Wu Ruoming said helplessly: "Go back, this time the three fleets are training, we will become a stepping stone."
"Yes! Captain!"
Standing in the main control room, Wu Ruoming paced back and forth.
What on earth is that warship of the Northern Fleet? It is so powerful that it can completely suppress 956E! My Southern Fleet must have one too!
052B main control room.
Zhou Qinglei looked at the deep sea with a calm expression.
With the precedent of the Southern Fleet, he expected the defeat of the Eastern Fleet.
In this battle, the two 053H3 frigates followed 052B like mascots. Although they did not fire a single shot, they witnessed this miracle throughout the process.
boom--
Bang bang——
Zhou Qinglei patted the main console, listening to the moving voice, his heart surged.
This battle defeated two major fleets one after another, giving him an unprecedented combat experience.
This has never happened before.
This reminded him of four years ago.
"Alas! If we had had 052B four years ago, we wouldn't have been forced to land artillery on the ship! If we really took action, we wouldn't have no room for resistance at all!"
The deputy captain said from the side: "Captain, I won't do it again."
Zhou Qinglei looked firmly into the distance.
"Yes! Not again!"
Changing the topic, Zhou Qinglei said: "Go back, don't keep the Prime Minister waiting for a long time."
"Yes, Captain!"
…
Provisional combat headquarters.
Regarding Su Dingping's opinions, Liu Huaming's eyes gradually brightened.
Exit 051C, this is a good idea!
Although the current combat level of 051C is somewhat behind the pace for the navy. However, for the navies of other countries, it is a powerful ship and powerful guns.
Coupled with the low cost of home construction, it is still very competitive in the market.
It’s not that the West doesn’t sell warships. They also sell them to third-party countries. It’s just that in addition to high prices, they don’t sell them to themselves.
Not only will it not be sold, but it will also be technically blocked! Because of this, I will buy from the furry bear country.
Even if they can't buy the first-tier guides from the Bear Country, they were already satisfied if they could buy the second-tier 956E.
But now, not only is it no longer necessary to purchase the 956E, the navy's self-developed warships have surpassed the 956E. Chasing the first-tier warships of Western countries is no longer a castle in the air.
"Comrade Dingping, your idea is very good! I will discuss it with a few comrades."
Liu Huaming said with great appreciation.
He found that Su Dingping was not only talented, but also had a good strategic vision.
It's not like they haven't thought about this idea before to make up for the vacant military budget, but third-party countries look down on those non-modern warships!
Who would have thought that they would be able to export modern warships in the future? That's what I've been waiting for.
Once upon a time, modern warships looked like dogs, but now the 051C feels that their combat capabilities are poor.
After determining the future route of 051C, several leaders were in a good mood.
There is hope that the initial investment can be repaid, and even a profit can be made.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
"Chief, the Southern Fleet refuses to acknowledge him alive or dead! I'm so angry!" Cao Youren said angrily.
As soon as he came in and saw Liu Huaming there, he immediately said.
"Hello, Chief."
Liu Huaming nodded and didn't care.
Xiao Chongjun took two steps outside and said to Cao Youren.
"Cao Youren, look at you, everyone has lost, and you still don't know who you lost to! If you tell me, won't it make people laugh?"
Wu Ruoming, who quickly followed me, looked aggrieved: "Chief, I told you that it was not our Southern Fleet that did it. Comrade Youren didn't believe it! If you insist on fighting me, who should I ask to reason?"
"You really didn't do it?" Cao Youren still had a trace of doubt on his face.
The Southern Fleet also has the 956E, and it is more than two months ahead of itself. Apart from the Southern Fleet, who can suppress it is the three old and small ships in the North?
Are you kidding me?
"Okay, okay." Xiao Chongjun said: "It's a good thing done by the Northern Fleet!"
"Huh? Is it really the Northern Fleet?"
Cao Youren suddenly felt his head buzzing.
But seeing Cheng Yiqiang nodding towards this side, he still felt like a dream.
"Isn't there just three old and small ships in the Northern Fleet? They..."
"052 has been improved! It should be called 052B now." Cheng Yiqiang explained.
"I... No, why is there no news at all! At least, let me know, so I can be mentally prepared..."
Xiao Chongjun said with a cold face: "Not convinced? If you have any opinions, you and Chief Xu can respond!"
"Chief," Cao Youren said helplessly: "You don't know how powerful that 052B is! It can hit farther than our 956E, and the missile speed is even faster, and it can't even be stopped!"
"We want to rush up to close the distance, but it's faster than us and can't catch up! It's embarrassing just thinking about it!"
Frustrated?
Qian Wenbing snorted, "Is it more aggrieved to have my Southern Fleet?" Because of Wu Ruoming's misjudgment, he missed the opportunity and was at a disadvantage at the beginning of the war until he was defeated.
Wu Ruoming noticed that Qian Wenbing's face looked a little ugly. He originally wanted to ask for 052B, but he suddenly didn't dare to speak. He was afraid that he would hit the muzzle of the gun.
"What's so frustrating!" Xiao Chongjun said with a cold face: "Why, do you have to know the details of the opponent before you dare to go to war during military training? In a real fight, will you still know the details of the enemy?"
"Chief, that's not what I meant..."
"Why didn't you run over to our aircraft carrier fleet four years ago and let them stand within striking distance of us?"
"I'm sorry, chief, I was wrong."
"If you lose, you lose. You have to admit it! I'm just afraid that if you lose, you still have to find reasons!"
After patting Cao Youren on the shoulder, Xiao Chongjun's expression softened a lot.
Soon Zhou Qinglei also came, followed by Sun Yongguo and Lu Guangjun.
Zhou Qinglei said as soon as he came in.
"Reporting to the leader, our department has lived up to expectations and successfully captured the Southern Fleet and Eastern Fleet!"
"Zhou Qinglei, you did a good job of hiding it!" Xu Dongguo said angrily.
Because the other party concealed it and refused to report it, I was restless here today.
If he had known this would be the result, how could he still be so angry? The three chiefs affirmed that he was the most active.
"Reporting to the chief, at that time, we had just handled warships and were not yet proficient, and the optimized 956E was so powerful. We were really unsure, so we did not disclose the details at that time. Moreover, you also asked me to come today to discuss it with you last night. That said, didn’t I just have time to report?”
"You're still aggrieved."
Although he had a straight face, Xu Dongguo was still very pleased.
"Okay, Lao Xu, don't lecture him hypocritically here. How can we both know what you're thinking?" Xiao Chongjun said.
Xu Dongguo replied with a smile: "The main reason is to watch you train your subordinates. I will also train you to prevent you from feeling uncomfortable."
Qian Wenbing's face darkened: "Just play the harp, who can play the harp better than you?"
Liu Huaming immediately said: "Look at the three of you, what do you look like? Do you still look like a leader?"
The three people's expressions suddenly became serious.
Wu Ruoming looked at Qian Wenbing and whispered: "Chief, when will 052B be commissioned into our unit?"
"Well..."
Qian Wenbing didn't reply much for a while.
Cao Youren quickly asked Xiao Chongjun.
"Chief, 052B is so powerful. When the time comes to enter service, you must be the first to fight for it for our Eastern Fleet."
Cao Youren became more and more excited as he talked: "In the future, when we command our own warships, won't we be as majestic as commanding 956E?"
"I know." Xiao Chongjun said with a straight face and a slight twitch in the corner of his eye.
He really couldn't give an accurate answer on this matter!
After all, Su Dingping had just rejected the plan to build the 052B production line.
Seeing that the two chiefs could not answer the conversation, Liu Huaming immediately said: "The purpose of this military training seems to have been achieved. The morale of the comrades is high and full of energy!"
"Everyone has worked hard, go back and take a rest."
"Yes! Chief!"
Zhou Qinglei and others turned and left.
Sun Yongguo and others looked at each other and knew that the leaders had something important to discuss, so they followed the three of them and walked out.
As soon as he went out, Cheng Yiqiang caught up with Lu Guangjun and said, "Old Lu, Old Sun, you two are so boring! It was so hard to hide it from me!"
"This is a rule, and there's nothing I can do about it." Lu Guangjun was helpless.
If he hadn't shamelessly stayed in the 335 Research Institute and followed Li Mingrui to the military base in the northern seas, he would be just like Cheng Yiqiang now.
"Huh? Where is Comrade Dingping?" Cheng Yiqiang wanted to chat more with Su Dingping, but when he looked back, he saw that Su Dingping had not come out.
Soon, everyone else in the temporary combat headquarters was gone, leaving only the four chiefs and Su Dingping.
Seeing that everyone had walked out, Su Dingping was also ready to say goodbye to the four leaders.
As soon as he stood up, Xu Dongguo patted his shoulder and said, "Dingping, you stay."
I?
But everyone is gone.
Su Dingping pointed at himself, looking puzzled.
Xu Dongguo nodded, but Su Dingping had no choice but to continue sitting down.
Immediately afterwards, he found that the eyes of the four chiefs were all on him, and he couldn't help but feel a little more nervous.
He sighed in his heart: It felt better to be a transparent person before.
"Comrade Dingping, do you really want to stop thinking about the issue of the 052B production line?"
Obviously, Liu Huaming was still a little reluctant to part with it.
This is the first time the navy has owned such a powerful warship.
It can be seen from the reactions of Wu Ruoming and Cao Youren that they are looking forward to the early installation of 052B.
"Chief, I understand what you mean." The conversation changed and Su Dingping asked, "Is it related to the 88th Fleet?"
Qian Wenbing and the other three looked at each other in shock and said nothing, which was regarded as acquiescence.
Liu Huaming nodded: "That's part of the reason."
"I understand, Chief."
Su Dingping continued.
"If we really want to confront the Toyo Eight-Eight Fleet, then we must win! In the sea confrontation, our air force is not as good as the Toyo Air Force. In this case, a few 052Bs are not enough to support a big victory."
Qian Wenbing and others' hearts trembled suddenly.
They are already satisfied that they can maintain the current situation. Big win? They hadn't thought about it before.
There is no way, the enemy is so powerful!
Stabilizing the situation, buying time, and keeping a low profile is the right path.
"How to win?"
Su Dingping said seriously.
"Quantity is not our most urgent priority right now! If quality is not good, no matter how much quantity is, it will not only act as cannon fodder but also waste money! This actual battle has proven this! So if we want to win, we must win with quality!"
"Our military expenditures are not enough to support our simultaneous advancement on multiple fronts. Naturally, we have to cut off unnecessary ones and focus on the most critical links!"
Qian Wenbing asked: "Is the 052B production line an unnecessary link?"
"Yes, Chief!" Su Dingping nodded.
Trading time for space and then trading space for time was too long and too painful. He couldn't wait that long, so he could only use his extreme wisdom to break the situation.
Liu Huaming looked thoughtful.
"Comrade Dingping, you continue."
"Although 052B is stronger than 956E, it has no advantage in facing the teamwork of the Eighth-Eighth Fleet. What's more, just one King Kong-class guide driver is already stronger than 052B!"
Su Dingping's tone was solemn.
"So, the improvement of 052B is imperative! Commanders, just imagine, if our navy has a guider that is more powerful than the King Kong-class guider, will they do anything indiscriminately? Faced with the huge price they need to pay, they themselves Back off first!"
Stronger than a King Kong-level guide?
Am I dreaming?
Before a few people came to their senses, Su Dingping said again.
"Adopt the method of walking quickly in small steps to shorten the technological gap and catch up in the shortest possible time."
"I am confident that the improved 052B is stronger than the King Kong-class guide!"
"At that time, if the Eighth-Eighth Fleet dares to come, it will definitely give it a big surprise!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
