Capital, Huanglou.

"This time the Navy spent a lot of money to conduct a comparative test of two destroyers. Now, I believe you all have your own opinions on the test results. Now, everyone can talk about it." On the rostrum, Wu Shengli

Open your mouth.

"For our aircraft carrier formation, the 052c destroyer is the best choice." The first person to speak was aircraft carrier captain Li Yan. His words almost represented the views of the navy's front-line troops.

"Yes, the biggest advantage of this kind of destroyer is that in addition to the four-sided phased array radar, it is also equipped with a special meter-wave radar for detection. In our formation, the meter-wave radar can be networked to increase accuracy.

, our aircraft carrier formation must have at least four such destroyers to build an indestructible air defense firepower network." Zhang Zhen took over the conversation and said: "Taken together, the combat effectiveness of the 052c is no better than that of our 10,000-ton class.

The number 138 is weak.”

The navy has always been interested in the 052c, but this kind of destroyer is too expensive, so it didn't insist on it. Now, the price has come down, and the performance is fully advantageous. Therefore, the navy has no reason to choose the weak 052b.

For this one-sided situation, Sun Xuewen had long been mentally prepared. Their original idea of ​​bidding was to focus on price advantage. Now there is no particularly big gap in price. The main reason is that the Navy is already confident. Therefore, their 052b

It is normal to lose the election.

The lack of meter-wave radar was the main reason for their defeat.

"Since everyone agrees, then our navy will first place an order for four destroyers." Wu Shengli said: "Among them, two will be equipped with the southern fleet and two will be equipped with the northern fleet."

The current No. 167 and No. 168 are fully prepared for the southern fleet. With the addition of the two new 052cs, the size of the southern fleet has rapidly expanded, eliminating the usual complaints about the lack of large warships.

The northern fleet is responsible for protecting the capital. In particular, the aircraft carrier is currently also equipped in the northern fleet. Therefore, it is normal to equip two of them. When it is necessary to perform combat missions, the two southern ones can also be mobilized.

past.

Now, it was the eastern fleet's turn to be dissatisfied.

"Leader, they have all been assigned to Aegis battleships, what about us? Are we going to keep using the old modern class? We are responsible for important people, and we don't even have a professional anti-aircraft destroyer!"

The fleet in the east has always been dominated by Russian equipment. First it was the Sovremenny class, then there was the Glorious class, and now there are two other Sovremenny class ships. With five Russian warships as the main force, that is a displacement of 50,000 tons. Normally,

Not too small.

However, how can Russian equipment compare with domestic equipment? The four modern-class ships can only launch Shikili and Hongqi 16 missiles, and the Glorious-class ship can only launch 300 missiles. Since there is no four-sided phased array radar, let

That Glory-class ship simply cannot have omnidirectional regional air defense capabilities. In this aspect, it is very lacking.

Now, is the leader too partial?

"Although you do not have the strongest air defense capabilities, you have the strongest anti-ship capabilities." Qin Tao said: "Now, our pony bombs have matured, so next your warships will conduct a

With the change of equipment, the No. 138 can destroy an entire fleet if it attacks alone, let alone four more modern-class ships."

Since the pony bomb has demonstrated Hu Lai's powerful combat performance in the test, of course it must be equipped. After all, this thing is urgently needed in the country. No. 138 has been carrying the missile launch tube to scare people, and now he can finally equip it with a real good thing.

.

"Air defense is air defense, and anti-ship is anti-ship. We need the strongest air defense capability."

"Your fleet has always been under the protection of naval aviation, and the need for air defense is not that urgent." Qin Tao said: "What your fleet needs most is a strong offensive capability. When the navy's batch of warships is completed, it will

After placing the order for the two aircraft carriers, the plan for the amphibious assault ship I proposed to the Navy should be on the right track. This kind of warship must be equipped with your eastern fleet."

Amphibious assault ship?

The leader of the eastern fleet's eyes flashed: "Mr. Qin, are you saying that we can have large warships that have direct access to the deck?"

The navy currently has amphibious landing ships, the main ones being 072 and 073. Both have a displacement of only a few thousand tons and cannot perform the task of troop projection at all. The improvement of the navy's amphibious combat capabilities started with 071. This kind of amphibious landing ship

The displacement was expanded to 20,000 tons, and eight ships were built at once. Since the first ship was put into service in 2007, the construction has not stopped, greatly improving the navy's amphibious combat capability. Once there is a situation, it can be directly delivered to a division.

There is no problem with the troops.

Of course, the most dazzling one is the 075. This large amphibious assault ship with a displacement of 40,000 tons and a direct access to the deck has made the Eastern Navy leap to the top and has the second largest amphibious assault force in the world.

And this kind of power is also what the navy is currently in urgent need of.

"Well, it depends on how the senior leaders of the Navy think about it. Our Mingzhou Group will propose two design plans, one with a displacement of 20,000 tons and a large helicopter deck at the stern, and the other with a displacement of 40,000 tons, right

Side ship island, direct access to the deck layout. The latter can not only take off and land helicopters, but also vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. Even if it only carries ten vertical take-off and landing fighter jets, the combat capability of this amphibious assault ship will be a leap forward.

It’s about the same as a small aircraft carrier.”

The eyes of everyone present were brightened.

Qin Tao had previously proposed the idea of ​​an amphibious assault ship. However, the navy had no money at that time and could not afford to build an aircraft carrier. Where could it build a nondescript amphibious assault ship?

But now, the modified 001 has braved the wind and waves and started sailing. The construction of domestic aircraft carriers has also been put on the agenda. When the domestic aircraft carriers are completed, it will be time to build amphibious assault ships.

"A 40,000-ton amphibious assault ship will also be equipped with a vertical take-off and landing version of the J-31A. This is the best!" Suddenly, the leader of the eastern fleet no longer struggled with whether he had an air defense destroyer. With this

This thing is equivalent to having an aircraft carrier.

Now, 001 has been given to the northern fleet. If 002 is built again, it will probably be given to the southern fleet. The combat range of their eastern fleet is within the land base aviation force. Unless it is supported by two brother fleets during a war, in

Under normal circumstances, they would definitely not be able to get an aircraft carrier.

With this kind of amphibious assault ship, it can also operate carrier-based fixed-wing fighters. Of course they can't wait.

"Hey, you have changed the theme of the meeting. Our meeting is discussing the project of four 052c ships." Wu Shengli spoke above.

"Leader Wu, our Mingzhou Group may not be able to start construction of these four destroyers quickly. Therefore, after receiving the shipbuilding task, we will subcontract the order for two destroyers to Bincheng Shipyard, hoping that the Navy will approve it."

The Navy has begun to place orders continuously to purchase 054. Mingzhou Group could not build this kind of frigate, so it subcontracted several ships to Huating Shipyard. Now, if the Navy wants to order four 052cs at the same time, Mingzhou Group will have to

Follow this pattern.

Although Mingzhou Group wants to take a commission, the shipyard still makes a profit, and it can continue to build warships, which is also a spur and encouragement for the shipyard.

At this time, after hearing Qin Tao's words, Sun Xuewen's heart was full of gratitude. Mr. Qin never forgets his brother's unit! Let's make money together!

"Director Sun, do you have any questions?" Wu Shengli turned to Sun Xuewen.

Sun Xuewen shook his head: "We have no problem. We will definitely build the ship seriously under the guidance of the representatives sent by Mingzhou Group, and we must complete the construction tasks to high standards."

Although the bidding failed, they still won the construction task of two warships, which of course everyone was happy about.

After discussing some details, the morning meeting was finally completed successfully. At noon, everyone had dinner in the canteen of Huanglou.

"We can't drink at noon, Mr. Qin. I'll give you a drink with tea instead of water." Sun Xuewen sat next to Qin Tao, picked up the tea and said to Qin Tao.

"Director Sun, is this how you express your feelings? I'm afraid it's not enough." Qin Tao said.

Sun Xuewen was stunned: "Mr. Qin, what else do you want?"

Others at the dinner table also noticed this scene. Something is wrong. Why did Mr. Qin start to embarrass Old Sun today?

"I have a request, but I don't know if you can comply with it."

"Mr. Qin, as long as you make a request, we will definitely comply with it!"

"Okay. Put your ears closer."

Others at the dinner table watched this scene curiously, watching Qin Tao beeping and cooing next to Sun Xuewen's ear, and seeing the expression on Sun Xuewen's face become very strange.

"What are you two talking about?" Wu Shengli said.

"Telling about the development of our navy." Qin Tao agreed casually.

Wu Shengli smiled and ignored him.

In the afternoon, the meeting continued.

"This afternoon, the topic of our meeting is the development of the Navy. After the trial of the first aircraft carrier, the Navy finally made up its mind to continue building the second aircraft carrier. Before construction, the Navy still plans to select the best one through bidding.

plan."

Sun Xuewen's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his hand: "Leader Wu, our Bincheng Shipyard is willing to participate in this bidding. Although we failed in the destroyer bidding, we still will not give up. We want to build an aircraft carrier."

!”

Everyone looked at Sun Xuewen in surprise. For this destroyer bidding, maybe their Bincheng Shipyard can work hard and come up with products similar to those of the Mingzhou Group. For this aircraft carrier, which shipyard in the country dares to compete with the Mingzhou Group?

Needless to say, even in the whole country, Mingzhou Group is one of the few companies with the ability to build aircraft carriers. They built a 10,000-ton aircraft carrier for Siam, renovated an aircraft carrier for the navy, and built an aircraft carrier for the football country.

For an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons, they have the most experience, so no matter who comes to bid, they will definitely be with them.

Wait, what did Mr. Qin say in Sun Xuewen’s ear at noon?

Could it be that they want Bincheng Shipyard to join in so that they can legitimately bid?

This is like a school that wants to elect a representative. The principal signs up, a logistics officer also signs up, and then the whole school is asked to vote. Is there any need to say what the result will be?

Wu Shengli nodded: "Then you talk about your plan. After getting approval from our navy, we will come up with a formal design plan in three months."

Sun Xuewen was obviously prepared. He glanced in the direction of Qin Tao and then said: "Everyone, considering the existing conditions, we decided to use the same power as the 001 aircraft carrier. After improvements, this power can

It drives a fully loaded aircraft carrier with a displacement of 80,000 tons, so we set the displacement of the aircraft carrier at about 80,000 tons."

Everyone nodded. The enlargement of aircraft carriers is inevitable. Small aircraft carriers are all deceptive. Look at Asan’s aircraft carrier. Because the deck area is small, the take-off area and landing area overlap, which brings difficulties to their deck scheduling.

How much trouble?

"At the same time, considering the progress we have made in the field of catapults, we decided to arrange two electromagnetic catapults on the angled deck, and the bow deck still uses the jump deck method."

The combination of jumping to the deck and ejection at an angle, isn't this what Ulyanovsk is?

Everyone became curious.

Although the Mingzhou Group has not yet spoken, everyone knows that the Mingzhou Group is going to have a fully straight deck layout, and two electromagnetic catapults will be arranged on the bow of the ship. If Bincheng Shipyard wants to do this, it will also
To be continued...
