Great warships

After everything was over and the sun was setting, Qin Tao and Wu Shengli walked on the way home together.

"Taozi, what do you think of the prospect of this 155mm gun?"

"Dad, the prospect of this depends on the progress of our electromagnetic gun." Qin Tao said: "If our electromagnetic gun is developed, then this kind of gun will be tasteless."

Just like the steam catapult, the relevant domestic departments put great effort into developing it, but the electromagnetic catapult has also come out. Comparing the two sides, you can immediately find the tastelessness of the steam catapult. As a result, the research and development has lost any meaning.

According to the plan, the current electromagnetic gun uses a caliber of 155 mm and a range of 713 kilometers. Even if the 155 mm gun of the [-] Institute is developed, the range will definitely not reach [-] kilometers.

"So, how long will the electromagnetic gun come out?" Wu Shengli continued to ask.

"I don't know about this." Qin Tao said: "Of course we hope that the sooner the better, but this thing is not based on our will, and I don't know how long it will take for the technology to make a breakthrough."

"The research and development of Institute 713 is worthwhile. Anyway, we don't need our navy to pay for it." Wu Shengli was full of enthusiasm.

Qin Tao can't say what will happen next. After all, electromagnetic guns have not been equipped with the navy before he came to this world. Although Qin Tao has promoted the rapid development of naval equipment in this world, he still cannot draw conclusions about these unknown things.

However, in the world he came from, there was no research and development of 155mm naval guns, the main reason being that there was no demand.

The 155mm naval gun is mainly used as the fire support force of the amphibious expeditionary strike group. You can see that the DDG-1000 is equipped with two 2mm naval guns. It has more than one artillery battalion in terms of ground strikes, and it can catch up with an artillery brigade!
The Yankees have the need for this kind of ground attack, because they want to deploy globally and interfere with the situation in a certain country at any time. However, the Americans are not capable of doing this kind of thing well, because the price they make is too expensive!It is obviously a naval gun, and the shells fired can match the price of missiles!

There is no such demand in the east. Even if there is a need for combat across the strait, many weapons here can also be obtained. There is no need to install naval guns of this caliber on warships.

Even if there is such a demand in the future, with the strength of the Eastern Navy, it is still difficult to say whether it can be close to a certain continent to fire artillery shells at a distance of one or two hundred kilometers.

For the navy, it is good to have one more choice, anyway, it does not need to spend money by itself.

Qin Tao was a little speechless to the father-in-law's statement.

"Dad, the navy's money has to be allocated to our shipyard quickly, otherwise the aircraft carrier will stop working." Qin Tao said.

"It's already in the process, and the funds will be allocated in the near future. Don't worry, the construction funds for the aircraft carrier will definitely not be a problem. This is the Navy's top priority."

The two were talking, and they had already reached the gate of the courtyard house. From a distance, Qin Tao heard a retching sound, so he walked in quickly.

"Xiao Ling, how are you doing?" Qin Tao asked his wife crouching under a tree and retching.

"It's okay, it's not the first time." Zhao Ling said: "But when I was pregnant with Haiyang, I didn't have such troubles. This time, I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

Zhao Ling didn't go out with Qin Tao recently, of course because it was inconvenient. Ever since Qin Haiyang was born, Zhao Ling's stomach hadn't bulged anymore. No matter how hard Qin Tao worked, it would be useless.

This time the reaction was bigger than last time, Zhao Ling could only stay at home to recuperate, and could no longer run around with Qin Tao.

"Hmph, dare to torment my wife like this. I'll spank him when he comes out." Qin Tao said, patting his wife on the back.

Wu Shengli didn't interrupt and went straight into the room.

"Brother Tao, recently Vitalia has found all the people she promised, and the Glory Years Security Company's stall in the Rainbow Kingdom can almost support itself." Zhao Ling was still talking about work.

"Well, Xiao Ling, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't need to interfere with these things. Anyway, there is still Zhengyang."

"He has a family too." Zhao Ling said, "He Qian is also pregnant, so he spends more time with his wife."

"Really? Seeing that our family is happy, I still get his favor." Qin Tao murmured, "If I knew this, I would have facilitated a marriage for Zhengyang earlier."

"It depends on fate." Zhao Ling felt much better, and she looked at Qin Tao with a smile: "You came back early today, do you want to pick up the child?"

"it is good."

Qin Tao is enjoying the warmth of his family, and there are many people who do not have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of happiness, such as a certain country's naval fleet running on the ocean.

A large warship appeared in the Red Sea. Its messy mast looked very old, but on the bridge below the mast, four hexagonal flat-panel antennas represented its advanced.

This flat-panel antenna forms a 45-degree angle with the central axis of the warship, which is exactly staggered from the previous layout of front, rear, left, and right. There is still a large area of ​​space in front of the bridge. If you look down from the sky, you can see the vertical launch device like a chocolate cube.

It is the famous Arleigh Burke-class destroyer!It is like General Arleigh Burke, fast, flexible, and courageous!

This destroyer is equipped with the famous Aegis system. After changing the orientation of the antenna, the search capability is stronger. With the 90-unit vertical launch device, it has sufficient anti-saturation strike capability.

In 91, the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer entered service. Afterwards, this destroyer was launched into service in large quantities like dumplings. At this time, the bow of the destroyer that had started was sprayed with the DDG-17 logo. It was the 17th destroyer of the Arleigh-Burke-class destroyer.It was incorporated into the Atlantic Fleet in 96 and was named Cole.

In the sequence of their navy, although warships are often named after people, the USS Cole is not the name of an officer, but a Marine Corps soldier who died on Iwo Jima in World War II, Darrell Samuel Cole.That makes it a little bit special.

Its combat effectiveness is the same as other Burke-class destroyers. It is very powerful. Its full load displacement is [-] tons, and it has a large number of anti-aircraft, anti-submarine, and anti-ship missiles. At this time, Captain Liebold stood on the bridge and watched the warship pass through the Mandeb Strait. He let out a long breath: "Boys, come on. We will stop at Aden Port for refueling. You have four hours to move, and then we should go to patrol the most dangerous waters."

"Yes!" The subordinates were very excited.

"Captain, according to the requirements of the Fifth Fleet, we need to implement a second-level alert after docking, and arrange for the on-duty personnel to use binoculars to observe the nearby waters. All on-duty personnel need to carry weapons."

"Really? Bill, then you will be responsible for implementing the second-level security." Liebold said.

Bill was taken aback, himself?If you perform this kind of task by yourself, can't you go down and relax?

They have been living on the warship for several months, and after this docking to complete the supply, there will be another few months of patrol missions. It can be said that this docking is the only time they have docked. Everyone wants to relax.

As for the second-level security of the fleet?Who dares to attack the warship?pirate?
Therefore, Bill didn't take it seriously, and hastily issued an order. When he arrived at the sailor who was carrying out the task, he had already ignored the task.

In the port of Aden, the weather was calm. Several cargo ships docked at the port to unload, and several rubber boats shuttled among them. One rubber boat drove to the side of the Cole and helped them send some sailors ashore.

However, not all sailors will go ashore, and some sailors stay on the warship. Several of them stand in the middle of the hull, bathing in the warm sunshine, watching the huge fuel pipeline bubbling fuel, and they light cigarettes. This is the most leisurely time.

In the distance, the rubber boat moved again, and the roar echoed on the sea.

They looked over and saw that there were only two sailors on the rubber boat, but the back was full of packages.

What is this rubber boat here for?
Is it for delivery?What's in those packages?
"Do you think there is a naked woman in there?" said a sailor.

"Women? You know women all day long! Did you know that? Just put two sponges in a glass and you'll get what you need, for free."

"It's not right, why did it come here at full speed?"

"Hey, slow down!"

Just as the sailors on the bow shouted, the rubber boat had slammed into the middle of their port side.

boom!
A huge explosion sounded, and the air waves hit. All the sailors guarding the oil pipeline flew into the sky in the explosion.

On the building a few hundred meters away, the glass windows made a rattling sound, and none of them remained intact, all of them were broken into pieces!

People on a nearby cargo ship could see clearly that the port side of the Cole had been blasted with a big hole!That hole is big enough to accommodate a bus!

More importantly, part of it is still below the waterline, and at this time, a large amount of seawater is pouring in from this hole!
This warship is about to sink!
"Quick, rescue our warship immediately!" Bill yelled loudly, because he suggested that the personnel be left behind to implement the second-level alert, so Liebold took a lot of people down to enjoy it, and he was still on the warship.

Save the warship!

The rest of the sailors took action and implemented strict damage control measures in the warship. However, the water entered too fast, and their main engine was also flooded and could not be started. They could only use buckets...

At this critical moment, Liebold rushed back with his people. They snatched the fire pump on the port, quickly received it to the warship, emptied the sea water, and rescued the warship!
The explosion that happened in the morning, they tossed until night fell, watching the crooked warship finally get rid of the danger of sinking, everyone lay on the ground as if they had been drained of strength.

The attack on the Cole spread quickly around the world, shocking the world.

A super battleship with a displacement of 17 tons was attacked by a small boat when it was in the port, and it almost sank!Although it was eventually rescued, a large hole was blown out of the Cole. Even if the entire warship was not scrapped, it had to be sent back to the shipyard for repairs. At the same time, 35 people were killed on the spot and [-] were injured!
This is simply a typical tactic of Unrestricted Warfare!
white house.

"We must find out the facts as soon as possible and arrest all those involved in the operation! This is simply slapping us in the face!"

"These people are the same people who flew the passenger plane last time. Up to now, our warships are still neglecting their duties. They don't even know what they are facing. If they are prepared in advance, how can they let that kind of small boat approach?"

"Fortunately, when this incident comes out, NASA's dark history will be forgotten."

"Everyone, do you know? There is a book called Unrestricted Warfare, which has described this kind of asymmetric strike in detail. When giving an example, it even gave the example of using a small boat to sink a warship!"

"Really? Are they guiding these people?"

East.

Zhang Zhong said the show.

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, a major event happened in the past few days. The Burke-class destroyer Cole was attacked by a small boat while it was refueling in the port of Aden. Although the warship did not sink, it posed a huge threat to the Cole." Zhang Zhong was very excited: "What does this mean? The times have changed. The war between two maritime powers in the past will no longer occur. In the future, this kind of asymmetrical attack should often occur. There are a lot of analysis in my military book "Unrestricted Warfare". In fact, This tactic is not a big deal, after all, on the Vietnam battlefield, Vietnamese frogmen have done this before, and it is said that they will learn a lot of wisdom, but the navy of a certain country is self-righteous and thinks that no one dares to provoke it. There is a saying that is very good. Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, but arrogance is! As long as it is used well, the weak will also win."

There is nothing to cover up. "Unrestricted Warfare" is the most famous military book in the world. It describes the future war situation: there will be no confrontation between two superpowers at sea, but some weak forces use some special means to attack the superpower.

We must change, we must arm ourselves with new military thinking, and actively participate in this kind of war against weak forces!
Who dares to accuse Zhang Zhong's teachers of those people?This book also explains what the strong should do, but some people don't read, listen or learn!What happened this time was not taught by Zhang Zhongjiao. At the beginning, the Vietnamese frogman hung explosives under the American warship. The Americans did not reflect on the summary. Who is to blame?

Every episode of Zhang Zhong said that he can grasp the key points and attract attention. This time the program still maintains a high standard.

"Actually, it's very simple to deal with this kind of attack. You just need to set up old godmothers on the side of the warship and send sentries to guard them to prevent surface speedboats from getting close."

"Old godmother? Army fans should know that this old godmother is not hot sauce. I hope the audience in front of the TV will not misunderstand. Bringing old godmother hot sauce will not prevent this kind of attack. The old godmother I am talking about is the M2 heavy machine gun. Although this kind of heavy machine gun is antique equipment and is older than me, it is very popular in the army. It is called Ma Deuce by the soldiers. When we translate it, it is Laoganma."

After the program was recorded, Zhang Zhong left the studio and saw Qin Tao standing outside.

"Boss Qin, you haven't left yet?"

"Yeah, watching your recording show is getting more and more mature, and you've gone through it over and over again, and you've also used what I said."

"Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, but arrogance is? It's really good to say this, Mr. Qin, your words are becoming more and more incisive. I have to study hard. If you said this sentence earlier, I can add it to the book "Unrestricted Warfare." Zhang Zhong said.

Qin Tao smiled, this sentence was plagiarized, and he likes it very much. When news of the bombing of the Cole was reported this time, Qin Tao happened to be in the capital, so he came to Zhang Zhong to talk about the idea of ​​this program. Zhang Zhong remembered this sentence casually.

We must let those people know that we are harmless rabbits to humans and animals, don't take us as a target, look at those who made the explosions, they are your worst enemies!

This is why Qin Tao came to find Zhang Zhong. He had to give Zhang Zhong an idea and let his show have a main line.

The catalog of this episode is still very good, and Qin Tao is very satisfied after watching it.

"It's not too late now. This incident has stirred up your book again. It will definitely be sold in large quantities in the future. When it is printed next time, just add this sentence." Qin Tao said: "Let's go, let's go to dinner. Why do you people who make TV shows like to record in the middle of the night?"

"Because the silent night makes us think. However, it's not too late. You can see that there are still many people outside."

The capital is very bustling. In the middle of the night, there are still many cars and people outside.

This is our motherland, the motherland that our military workers work hard to protect. I hope that the motherland can seize the development opportunities time and time again and continue to grow!

Far away in Europe, two warships are breaking through the waves and overcoming obstacles.

"The wind and waves here have always been very strong, which is a good opportunity for us to train our troops!" On No. 167, Wu Fu said to Li Chun who was beside him.

"This kind of storm can't stop us at all." Li Chun said: "We have confidence in our warship! If there is a war, we must be able to fight under this kind of storm!"

"Radar report, a warship has been spotted ahead!"

"Tune the radio to the public channel." Wu Fu picked up the communicator and pressed the switch: "This is the Eastern formation to visit Europe, here is the Eastern formation to visit Europe, salute the warships ahead!"

"This is the destroyer D97 of the Royal Navy. You are welcome to visit the UK."

In the big waves, a military family came swaying from side to side. The big ball on the top of the bridge and the sea javelin missile in front of the bridge were very conspicuous. This is the current main Type 42 destroyer of the British Navy.

At this time, on the destroyer D97, the sailors of the Royal Navy looked at the modern warship, at the four small shields on the top of the main mast, and at the large rotating shield on the hangar behind, their eyes were full of envy.

The Type 45 destroyer of the Royal Navy can also reach this level, and it will definitely be stronger than the Eastern one!

Captain Philip had a complex expression on his face, they could only send this warship over to greet him, but they were outmatched!If I knew it earlier, I should have sent an invincible aircraft carrier over!
Just when he was feeling emotional, the first officer ran over: "A new order came from the No. 16 data link, asking us to change course immediately and go to the waters of Gibraltar to intercept an Anxi oil tanker. The task of welcoming the Eastern Fleet will be undertaken by a frigate!"

"Okay, report to the fleet, we will execute the order immediately."

The Type 42 destroyer and No. 167 passed by, and the two sides did not form a formation. This made everyone on No. 167 curious: "What's wrong with them?"

"Is it embarrassing to form a formation with us? Such a comparison will result in a loss of face."

"That's too rude."

Wu Fu looked at the direction the warship was leaving, and frowned.

The situation is not peaceful recently. A Burke-class 2 destroyer was bombed. Next, they will definitely take revenge. Could it be that this Royal Navy warship also went to perform special missions?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, I just need to complete the task well.

Half an hour later, a Type 23 frigate braved the wind and waves to come to meet it.

Since the Type 22, the frigates of the Royal Navy have been built bigger and bigger. Although they are called frigates, their displacement is similar to that of a destroyer. Although a larger hull is very helpful for sea resistance, seaworthiness and continuous combat power, it will also increase the cost. When the Type 22 was built, the cost was actually higher than that of the Type 42 destroyer.

Later, when the Type 23 was built, the displacement of the frigates was slightly reduced, but the cost was still not under control. When these frigates were built, the Falklands War had ended, so they learned some experience from the Falklands War, such as paying attention to damage management, such as fully using steel and abandoning aluminum alloys, etc.

The biggest feature of this kind of frigate is that the anti-ship missiles are poked in the front, which looks a bit nondescript and easy to recognize at a glance.

"A Type 23 came. It seems that they have broken the pot." Li Chun said with a smile: "We are standing side by side with us. I don't know how they feel. When their Type 45 comes out, we probably have a large [-]-ton drive."

"Twilight of the Empire?" The first officer glanced outside, and it was already sunset.

The port is still full of people. Just like in Germany and France, many Chinese and overseas Chinese living in the UK came to see the elegant demeanor of the motherland's warships.
