Great warships

Chapter 831 The backs of the descendants of the Yellow Emperor overseas are stiff!
Wu Fu, the commander-in-chief of the visiting fleet, stood on the bridge, watching the approaching German warship with a smile on his face.

"Germany sent their most advanced frigate, but this kind of frigate still has a generation gap compared with ours. Look at its bridge, there are so many big balls, each big ball is an independent radar or satellite dish, so many large and small equipment, electromagnetic compatibility is definitely a big problem." Captain Li Chun said: "Their overall combat effectiveness, reaching 50.00% of ours is not bad."

"20.00% is not bad." The first officer said beside him: "Although it has a vertical launcher, it only launches sea sparrow surface-to-air missiles. This kind of missile has a short range and cannot escort the entire fleet. Generally speaking, it is at the same level as our 052."

052 does not have a suffix. Of course, it is the first two destroyers No. 112 and No. 113. The displacement is really similar to the F123 class, and the power combination is also similar.

"Actually, German technology is also good. When we were building 052, the reduction gearbox used was the product of Lenk, which is the same model as the warship opposite. After so many years of use, we disassembled it and checked it. There is not a single metal slag inside. It can be seen that the technology of the Germans is still very good." Wu Fu said: "Now we can have such a good warship, not because the other party is too weak, but because we are too strong, because we have the Mingzhou Group!"

When the 112 destroyer was built, the country was still very backward. Diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes, and even propellers all had to be imported, and none of them were manufactured by themselves. But now, the power systems of domestic warships have been completely localized. The reduction gearboxes made by the domestic Huating Pump Factory are no worse than imported ones.

Speaking of these, everyone is very emotional.

Woo, woo!
The warship on the opposite side blew its whistle.

"We also sound the whistle!" Wu Fu ordered: "Give me the radio."

"This is the formation of the Eastern Navy visiting Europe! It's a pleasure to meet you." Wu Fu called to the other party in fluent English.

"The German Navy Mecklenburg here, welcome, please follow us to Wilhelmshaven."

"receive."

The two sides formed a formation.

On the Mecklenburg, the German naval officers and soldiers looked enviously at the warships forming the formation with them. The four-sided phased array on the top of the mast was the most eye-catching. The Orientals are too powerful. Advanced warships can be built in a short period of time, forming a sharp contrast with their own.

From the bridge on their side, you can look down on the deck of the Eastern warship. The briquette-shaped launchers behind the naval guns are even more enviable. Inside are air defense missiles with a range of [-] kilometers. This is an area defense airship!
"Our F124 frigate also has the ability to launch long-range air defense missiles." Captain Karl said unwillingly: "Moreover, the standard-2 BlockⅢA long-range air defense missiles we launched have a range of 167 kilometers, which is farther than their air defense missiles."

"Captain, should we come and test them?" said the first officer beside him.

"Test what?"

"Of course it is maneuverability. We said that in order to meet the time, we need to sail at full speed. The gas turbines they use are made by themselves, and they may be defective and cannot be driven to the maximum speed."

Carl nodded: "Okay."

"The Mecklenburg called the Eastern Navy's visiting formation to Europe. Due to time constraints, we hope that you can speed up and sail at full speed into Wilhelmshaven. A large number of spectators have already gathered there, and they can't wait." Carl found the best excuse while calling.

"Received, our No. 167 will speed up and arrive at the port first." Wu Fu replied.

"Hmph, I think these Germans are uneasy and well-intentioned." Li Chun said, "I'm afraid they want to take the opportunity to test us."

"Then let them experience Dongfang Speed, start the gas turbine, and go at full speed!" Wu Fu said.

"Yes!"

"There's a puff of light blue smoke coming out of their chimneys. Are they starting the gas turbine?" On the Mecklenburg, the first officer put down the binoculars and said.

"Yes, I heard the sound of the gas turbine. They should have been turning on the diesel engine all the way here. Now, let's see... wait, they have already started to accelerate! Quick, start our LM2500, we must not be left behind!"

The characteristics of gas turbines are that they can reach the maximum speed and run at full power as soon as they are started. Diesel engines can't do anything.

At this time, upon hearing the captain's order, the engineers began to frantically activate the funded LM2500 gas turbine. However, in the process of their activation, No. 167 was already flying off the ground and soaring.

"Their gas turbines are so powerful?"

"That's right. Their warships have a larger displacement than ours and a smaller aspect ratio. Normally, the resistance should be higher. I'm afraid the power is [-] megawatts?"

"Don't let us lag behind the warships of the Germans." On No. 167, Li Chun said excitedly: "Compared with our speed, speed, they are not qualified!"

The F123 is the most advanced frigate in Germany, but it was built on the safe side. It did not use the latest LM2500 gas turbine in the United States. It used the Mod7 model. The power of the stand-alone is not high, and it is stable and mature.

There is no problem in normal times, but now if you want to speed up, you can’t compare with Dongfang’s. Although No. 167 uses only GT-15000 gas turbines, the ship’s shape is reasonable and the propulsion system is properly matched, so the speed-up and extreme speed capabilities are good.

"Should we wait for them?" The first mate was a little worried. If the warships greeted by the Germans were left behind, and one of our own warships rushed up first, it would always feel a little inappropriate.

"Wait? Wait! There are a lot of our compatriots waiting at the port. We have to drive to the port as fast as possible, so that our compatriots can see the warships built by our motherland." After Li Chun finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Fu, who picked up the radio and called: "The Eastern Navy's European fleet is calling for the Mecklenburg. Are we going too fast? Do we need to stop and wait for you?"

Carl gritted his teeth: "No! We can catch up!"

In the problem of chasing and meeting, a key point is the speed difference. If the one behind wants to catch up with the one in front, it has to be faster.

Now, the speed of the German warships behind is slower than that of the front ones, so they are chasing further and further away.

Carl put down the radio and said angrily, "Full speed, full speed, I don't believe I can't catch up with them!"

No. 615 did not participate in this kind of competition. After all, the comprehensive supply ship with a big belly is not fast. It is good to keep up with the formation cruising speed. Don't think about the combat speed. Anyway, it came out to be a nanny. The main body of the visit was No. 167.

At this time, our side has clearly gained the upper hand.

"If our warships are equipped with GT-25000 gas turbines, the Germans will not be able to catch up." On the supply ship, everyone said while watching the excitement.

"They can't catch up now. Both sides have reached the maximum speed. Our warship is 30 knots, and their warship is 29 knots." The second officer looked at the data observed on the ship's radar and said: "Their maximum speed is lower than ours, so the more they chase, the further they go."

Wilhelmshaven.

Knowing that the Eastern warship was coming, many people had rushed over ahead of time to hold a spontaneous welcome ceremony for the arrival of the Eastern formation. Even if they couldn't get to the warship, it would be good to just look at the warship of the motherland from a distance on the pier.

In the distance, on the line between the sea and the sky, a pyramid-shaped thing appeared, and that thing gradually enlarged, revealing the circular radar dome above.

"I'm coming!"

"Really? How did you see it?"

"Mast top phased array radar, only one warship in the east is in service in the world, it must be!"

"That's right, it really is from the east, I've already seen the red flag!" Another person said.

Everyone is excited.

The outline of the warship is getting bigger and bigger, and gradually the bridge below, the deck, and the sailors standing on the deck can be seen clearly.

"Sure enough, it is our warship, beautiful, really beautiful!" Zhong Chuhua looked at the distant warship on the railing of the pier, said excitedly, and then wiped his eyes with his hands, not sure if it was the sea breeze blowing, or tears of excitement.

Schroeder was annoyed: "Where is our warship?"

"Our warship is behind, about three nautical miles behind."

"Lagging behind? What's going on, didn't you agree to come over in formation?"

"Captain Karl proposed to advance at full speed, but was left behind."

"Damn it, this matter must be kept secret, it will definitely become a joke if it gets out!"

"Turn off the gas turbine, start the diesel engine, and slide over by inertia." Wu Fu gave an order.

Through the binoculars, I can already see the crowds of people on the distant port. Those people are all oriental faces. They are all overseas Chinese and Chinese living overseas. They learned that the navy of the motherland is coming to visit, so they gathered here.

No matter where they are, overseas wanderers are always concerned about their motherland!

The gas turbine stopped, and the warship entered a deceleration state. Before entering the port, the speed was already a few knots left. Without the help of the tugboat, No. 167 docked steadily on the pier, fully reflecting the high quality of the Eastern sailors.

At this time, the Mecklenburg has gradually approached the port, but it no longer has any sense of existence. It has been a complete clown all the way.

The Orientals are also too powerful. In a short period of time, they have overcome the difficulties of naval gas turbines and have mature and reliable gas turbines!Not even Germany can do it!
Germany's diesel engine technology is powerful, whether it is on the surface or underwater, it is the best. However, Germany is also flawed. In terms of aerodynamics, they are very weak. From the end of World War II to the present, they have hardly performed well. They have not independently developed a fighter jet, and they do not have qualified aero engines. Naturally, there are no modified gas turbines.

Of course, they can purchase. The entire western world, except the United Kingdom, almost all rely on purchasing American gas turbines to drive their warships. All kinds of German warships use LM2500.
Dongfang is also too powerful, anything can do!
The music of the military band sounded on the port. Schroeder represented the German navy and welcomed the guests from the East at the port. The two sides held a series of ceremonies. Then, the Germans finally boarded the warship of the East for the first time.

"Your naval gun should be an imitation of the Da Mao naval gun, right?" Schroeder began to point fingers after boarding the warship: "Also, your air defense missile is also an imitation of the S-300, right?"

"Your Excellency Schroeder, is your understanding of our military based on all kinds of calm data analysis, or is it the media's rumors?" Wu Fu asked.

Schroeder's face changed: "Of course we have our own analysis."

"Then you should know that our Hongqi-300 air defense missile and the S-[-] have different body lengths, different guidance methods, and different warheads. These basic data are different. Can it still be an imitation?"

Schroeder could only smile embarrassingly: "That's right, these basic data are different. The Hongqi-[-] missile enables your warship to have an area air defense capability. However, you only have such an air-defense missile, so you can't flexibly respond to unexpected situations during combat, right? If you suddenly find an anti-ship missile at a distance of five kilometers, can Hongqi-[-] react?"

"If yours is not true, you have seen that our phased array radar is placed at the highest position. Even an anti-ship missile flying at an ultra-low altitude and sea-skimming can be detected at a distance of 25 kilometers, and then intercepted calmly. Of course, in wartime, we will still have an aircraft carrier formation and a carrier-based early warning aircraft.

Schroeder stopped talking. Ever since he got on the warship, it seemed that the atmosphere was not very harmonious.

"Of course, if we are really approached by the opponent, we are not afraid. We have 730 close-in anti-aircraft guns to undertake the task of the last line of defense. With dense projectiles, we can easily destroy the target in the air." Qin Tao pointed to the direction of the second deck, which is also the direction of the bridge.

"Can we go to the bridge and have a look?" Schroeder asked again.

"Originally it was not allowed, but since you have this request, we can meet it, but please note that our bridge can only be seen, not touched. If someone can't do it, then don't go up."

"Is your bridge so expensive?" Arnold behind Schroeder complained angrily: "We have issued a sincere invitation, is this your attitude?"

"No, it's just that our bridge had some accidents during the voyage, and some places leaked electricity." Wu Fu said: "If you accidentally touch it, it will be bad if you get electrocuted."

Leakage, what kind of excuse is this?

The German naval officers looked helpless, but they also knew that since they had talked about this, it was best not to touch it. If the other party really messed up and made a leak, they would suffer a loss.

"Okay, then let's just look at it, not touch it."

In the 80s, when Mr. Liu went to inspect the aircraft carrier of the United States, they also asked that they could only look at it and not touch it, so Mr. Liu could only look at the US aircraft carrier with his hands behind his back.

The interior of the bridge is clean and tidy, and a row of LCD screens shows its modernization. Since the ship has been parked, the screens are all black, and no images can be seen, but one can imagine what it looks like when it is working normally.

"Your bridge has reached the most advanced level in the world." Schroeder sighed. Although he didn't want to admit it, the fact is that the F-124 frigate they are building is of this level. The warship in front of him has served in the Eastern Navy for several years. This is the gap!

"Thank you for the compliment. Our Dongfang warships have indeed reached the world's first-class level." Wu Fu is not modest. He came out this time to show Dongfang's technological development, and let these people with colored glasses see that Dongfang is not the African world that has not been powered on in their media.

"How far can your four-sided phased array radar system detect fighter targets?"

"Can you find the stealth machine?"

After being surprised, everyone started asking questions.

"If you want to search long-distance, it's still the rotating phased array radar behind us. If you say that it is also the stealth machine, everyone should know that the way to find a stealth machine is to increase the intensity of electromagnetic waves. The phased array radar can shine all the radar waves on the stealth target, so that the opponent has nothing to hide."

Although the Eastern Navy has long used meter wave radar to detect stealth aircraft, since it has not attracted the attention of the outside world, of course its own side will continue to fool around.

The 052B is also the most suitable choice. There is a circling S-band phased array radar squatting behind it. It happens to promote this radar as the main means of combating stealth aircraft. The Europeans think so anyway, and the big guys happen to coincide with each other.

"Yes, if you want to detect stealth aircraft, you have to use a large phased array radar." Schroeder said: "Our F-124 frigate also plans to adopt this solution!"

"Can we know the detailed parameters of the radar behind?"

"You have to contact the Mingzhou Group. After all, they are responsible for selling warships, and all the parameters of export-oriented warships are with them." Wu Fu continued.

"We're not here to buy warships."

"Then what's the use for you to know the detailed parameters?"

The Eastern Navy came, and the German Navy also boarded the Eastern warships. However, the atmosphere was not very harmonious. Many things they wanted to know could not be obtained. These Easterners are really unfriendly!
After getting off the warship, Schroeder and others were dissatisfied, but then, the crowd below cheered loudly.

"Long live, long live!"

"What are they doing?"

"They are organizing tours for tourists."

"Hmph, then let them earn some entrance fees, and their warships are only worthy of being a tourist attraction."

Saying this sentence is sour.

At this time, at the bridge deck of the warship, several sailors were organizing the audience to visit in an orderly manner, going up from the bow and down from the stern. Although they could only take a quick look at it, it also opened the eyes of many people.

With the support of his son, Zhong Chuhua walked towards the warship. Seeing him coming, the sailor hurried forward to help him.

"Old man, please slow down."

"It doesn't matter, I can go." Zhong Chuhua said: "Although I am old, I must personally board the warship of our motherland!"

"Old man, come here first, we will take pictures under the naval guns."

On the entire warship, the most suitable place for taking pictures is the naval gun, which is mighty and majestic, and most people know it. The angular naval gun looks even more spectacular.

The old man walked over, and the family behind him followed. The son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter stood in front of the naval gun.

Click!

A precious photo has been taken.

"Old man, please slow down, let's continue to visit, behind is the anti-aircraft missile produced by our motherland, with a range of [-] kilometers." A female soldier who came with the warship came over and assumed the role of explainer.

"One hundred kilometers?"

"Yes, one hundred kilometers. At present, only the United States and the navy of Da Mao have this level of air defense missiles in the world, and none in Europe."

The TV camera was sent back to the east, and Qin Tao was also heartbroken watching the scene in the TV.

"The ancient Romans back then stood straight because they had a strong motherland behind them. Now, when our people go overseas, they will also stand straight. No matter what problems they encounter, the motherland will be behind them, and the navy of the motherland will rush to the scene as soon as possible."

"That's right, neither the air force nor the army can do it. Our navy needs to hold more visits, go to more countries, and promote the strength of our motherland." Wu Shengli nodded. This time, No. 167 has earned enough face for the navy.

"In the future? It's okay to go to other countries, but Europe is probably enough."

"What?"

"We've already been slapped in the face once by us, and we want to slap the face a second time? If we go there again, we must send 052C. Aren't their poor warships even smaller in front of us?"

Wu Shengli was dumbfounded: "Okay, you are right."

"We also have to appear frequently in the world, so that foreigners can gradually adapt to the strength of our navy, so as not to look at us with colored glasses."

While a few people were chatting and laughing, someone walked in.

"Reporting to the leaders, just half an hour ago, the U.S. Navy test-fired a Standard-3 missile and successfully hit the Aries ballistic missile."

"what?"
