Chapter 168: Towards Blue Water

.

Outside the Qinzhou military port, more than a dozen warships that had just completed maritime drills are slowly approaching the port. The largest ship in this fleet is not a warship, but three ocean supply ships with a displacement of 18,000 tons. This time, the training is to train the surface supply operations during the ocean.\\\\\ This time the training was very fruitful. The sudden wind and waves made the supply operations very difficult, but also provided valuable training opportunities, especially the replenishment operations in the wind and waves while fighting. This provides a rare training opportunity for fleets that need ocean combat in the future. A navy that can only fight in offshore waters is not a real navy, but a yellow water navy rather than a real blue water navy.

"The Chinese Navy can only be an existing navy. Damn, every time I think of this, it makes me feel heartbroken." Standing in the office of the Navy Command in the Qinzhou Military Port, looking at the fleet returning outside the window and a light cruiser that had just been launched, Navy Commander Lu Wanyang said with some discomfort.

"Old Lu, don't be sad. The commander-in-chief doesn't want to build an invincible navy, but we China cannot build such a navy from any aspect. Even if we can build it, we cannot support and maintain it." Beside Lu Wanyang, Yang Xueyi, the head of naval equipment construction, handed a cup of tea and looked at the beautiful light cruiser. The huge gun body and smooth lines all looked so beautiful.

"Thank you for your hard work, so many ships have been built in such a short time."

"It's okay, I just feel that I'm fulfilling my mission. It's okay to say that the submarine is a little bit easier after the production technology and processing technology were a bit standard a few years ago. It's nothing more than improving the progress and speed of production. Of course, there are also skilled excellent technicians. However, the surface ship design that was carried out later made everyone suffer a lot. Although they are all ships, the difference between the submarine underwater and the warships on the surface is too big." Yang Xueyi said lightly with a sip of tea. It seemed that this matter was not a big deal, but people with eyes could see the grayness on his temples.

"So I want to thank you guys.\Without your efforts, we can only conduct submarine combat in near-water waters. Although our submarine force is strong now, the naval construction is still too deformed, it is just an underwater guerrilla team." Lu Wanyang said angrily.

"But even the guerrillas have achieved great results!! And now you have brought great pressure to the Japanese navy. This also shows that the commander-in-chief chose to vigorously build submarine troops with an inclined manner and made the decision to make it right."

"I know the land war results and threats brought by our submarine force, but without a powerful surface ship, such naval construction is always incomplete, and the submarine force has lost the cover of surface ships, and the patrol area and combat effectiveness have been greatly reduced."

He specializes in his career. Yang Xueyi's research direction is to build ships. Lu Wanyang is to study naval tactics and strategies. Therefore, in previous land exercises and the last actual combat, the submarine troops found that there was no surface ship to deter the cover. The killer under the sea had to work a lot more, not to mention anything else. \It's nothing to fight in the offshore waters, but once the ocean-going submarine troops were at a disadvantage. Continuous stealth was consumed just to hide their bodies, and too many fighter jets were lost.

"It's not too late to do it now. Although we lack the experience in building large surface warships, we have been doing such technical reserves before. Haven't we looked at that light cruiser? We built four ships in one go, one better than the other, and one more advanced than the other. Even the construction speed has gradually accelerated. www."

Yang Xueyi let out a whimper and signaled that one of the light cruisers he mentioned was the new ship not far away.

"Run quickly, and raise your legs more in the small steps. I know the commander-in-chief's intention to accelerate naval construction. Lao Yang, you and I are both qualified people. We have been together for so long. Don't I understand the strategic intention of the commander-in-chief? Although these four light cruisers are basically the same on the outside, the displacement is not large, and the largest one has just exceeded 8,000 tons. But you and I all know that the equipment in these four battleships is more advanced than the other. When the first ship was launched, you and I were still excited for a long time. But now the third ship that has been launched, I am already unfamiliar with and amazed by many equipment inside. The fourth ship that is being installed in the last time is not to mention anything else. It is just that so many antenna radars are equipped, which makes people feel dizzy. What about air reconnaissance radars and sea reconnaissance radars, shell trajectory detection radars, fire control radars, and even air-defying air-defying naval guns have gun-aid radars, and the added electronic computer room occupies a lot of space!!"

Lu Wanyang complained, because the new equipment was a little bit difficult for him to understand, and the equipment of many automated weapons reduced the crew. The original cannon sighting officer had been replaced by cannon sighting radar and ballistic computers.\

"Don't worry, these equipment have been finally confirmed after a lot of tests. It not only takes into account daily use and maintenance, but also takes into account wartime damage and then returns to human control."

"Let's wait and see!!! What I dream most now is to lead our Chinese navy to travel across the oceans of the world and become a real blue water navy." Lu Wanyang drank the remaining tea in the teacup and waved his arms to express his inner emotions.

"Yes, you will wait until this day. Now the underwater killers under your command have turned China's offshore waters into a relatively safe sea area? You have to eat food in one bite. Foreigners first control the sea surface and then control the water surface, but we just happen to be the opposite. First, the underwater surface control is controlled by the sea surface area and then develop the power of the surface ship."

"Haha, the sword goes against the rules. But this is also a helpless behavior. Damn, the Japanese navy has already spoken. As long as the surface warships we ordered abroad enter their patrol range, they will sink and destroy without hesitation... Fuck!!! It's really arrogant, but people have such a strong and arrogant force. It's difficult for our submarines to go deep into the outer seas and ocean areas. Even if they penetrate and sneak past, they will be trembling. After all, there is no support from surface ships..." Lu Wanyang said the truth with pride and helplessness.\

"Don't be sad. At least our submarine force has achieved the advantage of underground defense in offshore waters. Although I rarely get on submarines, I know that the brothers of the submarine force work very hard. Don't look at the submarine force that only controls our offshore waters and the South China Sea. But few people know that having a submarine does not necessarily mean underwater control. There is no long-term submarine current data and long-term submarine terrain detection data. Submarine is a living coffin in an adventure site.

If you are not careful, you will be washed to a reef by the underwater current and the boat will sink. I have read the information about several submarines I came back some time ago. These young men have forced through the undercurrents in the Strait of Malacca. They not only mastered the information on the currents of the Strait, but also mastered the information on the seabed terrain of the Strait. With these information, although Japan and Britain and France can now walk here horizontally, when the real battle begins, the brothers of the submarine force will come to sink the other one!!"

Yang Xueyi comforted Lu Wanyang.\After more than ten years of exploration and fearless exploration by his predecessors, several large houses have been collected from China's offshore waters and the South China Sea. Detailed undersea data provide the best assassination points and label dangerous areas as much as possible. These valuable marine hydrological data are obtained by the courage of the submarine troops, sweat and even blood.

"By the way, Lao Yang. What do you think of that big guy?" Lu Wanyang suddenly asked another question.

"Are you talking about light aircraft carriers?"

"Yes. That big thing, how much has it been installed now?"

"Do you think it can be built so easily with more than 18,000 tons of things? And have you not suffered enough of the plane?" Yang Xueyi's eyebrows jumped.

"Hehe, of course I know the benefits of aircraft carriers. This thing is good!! With it, as long as you are equipped with enough escort ships and logistics support ships, an aircraft carrier fleet can provide a large area of ​​territorial waters."

"I know this, but we don't have the experience in building such a big guy now, but also lack the corresponding carrier-based aircraft."

"You don't have to worry about carrier-based aircraft. I know that there are several types of aircraft that have completed the roadbed test and passed the review, and then wait for the aircraft carrier to come out to conduct tactical drills." Since one is the general manager of construction and production, and the other is the head of naval strategy and tactics, the two of them often have no secrets.

"The emergence of aircraft carriers is a strategic and tactical breakthrough after the advancement of the aviation industry. With aircraft carriers, it is not very difficult to have ocean air supremacy. However, we do lack the production experience of large ships now, and many steps need to be carried out step by step. The steam catapult of the aircraft taking off has already made us anxious."

"Steam catapult? Isn't this used on jet fighters? The jet fighter is still in its final research and development stage, and it will be installed so early?" Lu Wanyang was a little surprised.\

"Technical reserves will be installed on the aircraft carrier after two years of research and production of jet aircraft."

"Oh, so that's it."

"But in a few months, you will be busy with light aircraft carriers as soon as they get off the water. The appearance of this new guy is enough for you to work hard for a year."

"I'm not worried about this. The young men are now well-educated and not only motivated but also cultured. This has brought great help to training. Besides, the equipment is getting better and better now, and the use of many electronic equipment has greatly improved the quality of training. But you... Hehe, don't think it's easy. An aircraft carrier formation requires at least two cruisers, more than ten destroyers and more auxiliary ships to escort. Our current surface ships have been able to create such an aircraft carrier formation just now, and your production department can't think it's easy."

I don’t have to worry too much. Now we have a large number of excellent workers on hand and a large number of construction auxiliary equipment to provide support. Before the Panzhihua Industrial Zone was put into production, the steel supply of more than one million tons every year was still needed to be supplied to the army, air force and even people’s livelihood construction. The supply of steel has been insufficient. The tens of thousands of workers under my command had no work except to be able to enjoy it on submarines. Now the materials are gradually being sufficient. Some time ago, these light cruisers and more than ten destroyers also had materials when the materials arrived, these old workers had to draw lots to work in order to grab the task, otherwise you would not be able to receive new ships so quickly.”

The two teased each other for a while and suddenly burst into laughter. The long laughter was not only a hope for the future but also a catharsis after a long period of suppression.

I don’t know how long I had laughed, but when the two calmed down from their happy mood, they once again filled the cups of tea.

"Twenty years of Ninja Construction... In the past, we always complained that the commander-in-chief assigned to our navy was too heavy, and there were not many ship resources available. But now when we look back, we really have to admire the commander-in-chief's strategic vision. Now you and I have a large amount of high-quality human resources on hand, and as long as the raw materials arrive, we can quickly build it, and a large amount of high-cultural sailors can quickly exert their due performance and quickly form combat effectiveness."

"Yes, and the warships I am building now are more advanced than the other. The surface ships to be built below do not use traditional boilers and diesel engines as main power. They need to switch to turboshaft engines. This engine is small in size, exhaust gas and low power compared to the previous power system. I have to read the drawings of the same type of ship that I see now, because each ship has different improvements. And... hehe, don't forget that the equipment given by the Weapons Research Institute is not traditional human-controlled weapons and equipment. Look at the radars, computer-controlled anti-aircraft guns and six-barrel rotating 25mm cannons, don't think that

These weapons are controlled by a bunch of people. These weapons are controlled automatically, and their reaction speed and accuracy are much higher than those of manpower. The defense effect of a radar automatic defense cannon is more than ten times better than that of the air defense weapons previously controlled by manpower. There is also the new anti-submarine sonar of the new anti-submarine destroyer, which has good performance and effect so good that even the latest submarines such as 109 can only sit honestly on the seabed and run away from reconnaissance, not to mention the anti-ship missiles currently being developed. Once this thing comes out, the navy won by traditional artillery will not only face the threat of aircraft in the sky, but also face the strike of anti-ship missiles."

"I really want to drive the warship equipped with these weapons to the sea and gallop well..."

"I've been withstood for twenty years. In another two years, when the equipment is formed, I can't help it anymore. Then you can show your skills in the sea!!"

"After your good words, I will not be polite to any naval overlord at that time. The navy of the little Japanese is outdated. The ultimate goal of the commander-in-chief from the beginning was not this little Japanese. His target is the super powers such as Britain and the United States!!"
