Chapter 331: The Navy's Development Momentum is Unstoppable
Who would have thought that he would be plotted against by the Longxia tribe.

"Damn bastard, the Longxia people are really cunning."

"They are really too bad, but never mind, things have come to this point, let's just join, it won't have much impact on us."

After understanding everything, he was still very upset, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was no big deal. After venting, the chief's emotions stabilized.

At the beginning, they simply wanted to disgust the Longxia tribe and take revenge on them.

Then, the Great Chief looked at everyone, especially Hawk Henry from the military.

"I'm afraid you guys are making such a big fuss, it's not just for this one thing, right?"

Hawk Henry nodded slightly with a serious face, then took out a confidential document from his black briefcase and handed it over.

"Captain, please take a look at this document first."

The chief took the document doubtfully, then opened it and began to read.

This is a photo of the Longxia warships taken by the Eagle Tribe agents at the port of Doha City of the Kata Tribe. There are both 052C and 052D.

What came into view were two new warships, one of which he recognized immediately.

"Isn't this the warship that accepted the surrender last time?"

He still had an impression of the 052C. The last surrender ceremony of the Longxia tribe was held on this ship, and it was also filmed and sent to him.

"Captain, if you keep turning the pages, you will find something new."

Hawk Henry gestured quickly.

When he turned to the second page, the chief's pupils trembled suddenly.

The hull of this ship is similar to the previous one, but the bridge part has huge differences, like two different levels of warships.

Continue to flip back, the nine warships in the same photo still have a very strong visual impact.

His expression changed immediately.

"Are these all the warships of the Longxia tribe?"

"They have already equipped nine new warships?"

The chief's face was filled with shock, and he asked subconsciously.

Hawk Henry took over the conversation with a serious face: "Yes, Great Chief, all of them are from the Longxia Navy. There are two different types of ships here, one of which was used in the surrender ceremony."

“But the other one is being unveiled to the public for the first time.”

The chief immediately understood what the defense minister meant.

"You mean the Longxia Tribe's navy still has a lot of hidden strength?"

"Did they break through our tight technical blockade? Or did we leak the information?"

Hawk Henry shook his head slightly. "Captain, I don't know about him. There is no evidence that they have broken through our technological blockade. There is no evidence pointing to a leak."

"From the appearance of these two warships, they have technological inheritance, and perhaps they have achieved technological breakthroughs themselves."

Having said that, he secretly glanced at the changing expression of the chief. After hesitating for a moment, he decided that some things still needed to be said.

"Great Chief, look at this warship that has just been displayed."

"It has a very large radar array and very strong firepower. According to research, its overall combat capability has surpassed our Burke-2."

"Our main battleships currently in service have no absolute advantage over them."

The chief's eyes widened instantly, and he was extremely furious. How could he be surpassed by the Longxia tribe accidentally?
This is obviously unscientific.

They took the lead in establishing a very strict technological blockade, absolutely preventing themselves and their allies from selling technology to the Longxia tribe.

Not only that, they also absorbed a large number of top scientific and technological talents from the Longxia tribe in order to restrict the development of the Longxia tribe's military technology from multiple dimensions.

It would be fine if I let them break through now, but how can they surpass me?

"No, that's impossible."

"Have you found any problem?"

After a while, the chieftain asked loudly in disbelief.

"Great Chief, this is the result of comprehensive research. They are equipped with a larger active phased array radar, which proves that the Longxia tribe has made a breakthrough in this regard."

"We don't want to believe it, but it's the truth."

Hawk Henry pointed at 052D and defended himself helplessly, feeling bitter in his heart.

He really didn't want to admit that the Longxia tribe's warships had surpassed them, but what could he do?
"So, Long Xia has indeed made a breakthrough in the key technology?"

"Are you sure?"

The chief's expression suddenly changed and he said in a deep voice.

Ever since the honeymoon period ended, the Eagle Tribe had been on high alert against the Longxia Tribe, making it impossible for them to reveal any of their technology.

However, the Longxia tribe has developed advanced phased array radar, which is the key core technology of the Aegis ship.

"Great Chief, those inferences are only based on these few pictures. Without detailed actual combat data, it is difficult for our military experts to give accurate conclusions."

Faced with the chief's questioning, Hawk Henry hesitated for a moment and then began to explain.

Hearing this, the great chief had a gloomy face and sat there motionless, as if he had completely calmed down.

Inside the office, no one else spoke, and for a moment there was a brief silence, and the atmosphere became very depressing.

It was two full minutes before the chief broke the eerie atmosphere in the room.

"Aren't you developing the Burke-3 guided-missile destroyer?"

"When will you be able to successfully tackle the problem and enter the mass production stage?"

He remembered clearly that the military was working on the upgraded version of the Burke-2, the Burke-3, a warship with very powerful performance in all aspects, enough to crush this 052D.

So what if the Longxia tribe has hidden their technology?

Once it has the Burke-3 class guided missile destroyer, the Eagle Tribe Navy will also be at least one generation ahead of the Longxia Navy.

He didn't want the situation where the Eagle Tribe Navy fell behind the Longxia Navy during his tenure. This was unacceptable and would be the greatest humiliation for him.

"It will probably take at least half a year at the earliest." "If everything goes well, it will probably be ready for deployment in three years and become combat-ready."

Hawk Henry thought carefully for a moment and responded seriously.

"It's too slow, can't it be faster?"

The chieftain spoke quickly, he could no longer bear to wait.

"Great Chief, there is nothing we can do. We cannot interfere with the progress of the shipyard."

"We have urged them to do it. Half a year is the fastest time. It can't be any faster."

Hawk Henry spread his hands and responded helplessly that he also wanted to get into the water quickly, but this was shipbuilding, not child's play, and it could be built at any time.

It will take a long time to tackle the core technology alone, and it will also take a long time to develop a new generation of active phased array radars.

The power system is their strong point, so there is no need to worry.

The only thing to worry about is the electronic information system inside the ship, the integrated power system, and the close coordination between the various systems.

Hearing this, the chief looked disappointed.

When I think of how the Longxia tribal navy defeated the independent forces of the East Desert Sea in the waters of Dongzhou a few months ago and defeated their 88 fleet without any chance of fighting back.

The latest version of warships of the 2 Fleet all use the mature technology of the Burke-2. Even the Donghuang tribe has carried out technological upgrades, and its combat effectiveness is only stronger than that of the Burke-.

If that is the case, once the Longxia Navy confronts their navy, I am afraid that the Longxia Navy will really seize the technological advantage and gain the initiative on the battlefield.

For them, this is undoubtedly a catastrophic consequence and is absolutely unacceptable.

You know, the Donghuang Navy also lost a light aircraft carrier.

In this case, we have to re-evaluate the true combat capability of the Longxia Navy and how much strength the Longxia Navy has hidden.

According to the relevant data collected before, the overall evaluation of 052C is excellent, and it has strong air defense capabilities. If it is said that this newly exposed missile destroyer is stronger than 052C, the Chief will definitely not be able to accept it.

Why? They had already imposed a strict technical blockade on the Longxia tribe, but in the end the Longxia tribe surpassed them and achieved the highest combat power. Wouldn't their previous work be in vain? It was equivalent to a blockade in vain!
He remembered clearly that the Burke III type that the military was researching had stronger performance than the 3C, and now a brand new warship had emerged from the Longxia tribe, which was judged to be even more powerful than the 052C.

Damn, this is never going to end, right?

If by the time their Burke 3 is launched, a more powerful warship will appear in the Longxia Navy, doesn't that mean they will fall behind as soon as they are launched?
The reason why the Eagle Tribe has always maintained the strongest power on Blue Star is not because its military equipment is at least one generation ahead of other tribes on Blue Star?
Let them always maintain the strength to crush their opponents.

Otherwise, how can they be the big brother of the western tribes?

If the Longxia tribe’s naval equipment surpasses theirs, where will their face be?
But on second thought, he felt that this matter was too unbelievable. It was impossible for the Longxia Navy to progress so quickly and surpass their Eagle Tribe in one go. How was this possible?
Thinking of this, he became more certain of his guess. This must be the case!

As a result, the originally tangled and uncomfortable mood suddenly became clear, and the whole person felt a lot more relaxed. He turned his head to look at Hawk Henry and saw that he was still tangled.

"Hawk Henry, don't you think that this newly appeared warship might be a smokescreen released by the Longxia tribe?"

Seeing the puzzled expressions on the faces of the people present, the great chief immediately explained, "Have you forgotten the relevant information about the 051B that we obtained from the Longxia tribe?"

Several people looked enlightened, and they gradually remembered the information.

"The 051B is just an assembly ship. It has reached modern standards, but in fact it is a product of a failed attack."

"If we really talk about its actual combat capability, it is probably only at the level of one and a half generations, and is not even up to the standards of a modern missile destroyer."

"The Longxia Tribe Navy is just a face-saving project."

The chieftain smiled and pointed at the 052D in the file and said, "So, I think we cannot rule out the possibility that this warship was released by the Longxia tribe to deliberately deceive the world."

All the staff and military leaders thought that the chief's analysis was very reasonable.

Conquering high-tech is not a child's play. How is it possible that the Longxia tribe could have made breakthroughs in relevant core technologies so quickly under the strict technological blockade?

Obviously, this is not in line with the rules.

In fact, for the chief, he had no idea how many warships the Eastern Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force lost in the previous naval battle between the Longxia Navy and the Eastern Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force, and how each warship was lost.

The Longxia tribe and the Donghuang tribe seemed to have kept a tacit silence on this matter, and no one released relevant information, so that the tribes on Blue Star were not aware of it.

It is no exaggeration to say that even some high-ranking officials of the Donghuang tribe did not know how much the Maritime Self-Defense Force paid in the last naval battle.

But based on the reality and each tribe's understanding of the navy and naval warfare, the Donghuang tribe openly surrendered and suffered heavy losses.

But at the same time, given the powerful reputation of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force and the large number of cutting-edge warships and equipment, the Longxia tribe must have suffered a lot of losses.

The previously captured light aircraft carrier and the Kongo-class missile destroyer have not been released, and even the personnel are still in custody. Naturally, the high-ranking leaders of the Donghuang tribe still don't know whether the Longxia Navy has suffered any losses.

Naturally, the relevant news did not reach the Eagle Tribe.

"The Longxia Navy suffered heavy losses in the last naval battle, so they are naturally in urgent need of doing some face-saving projects to force us to compete with them and make us anxious. I won't fall for that."

The chieftain then continued, "This new warship is just a trick they used to fool people. In fact, if it were put on a real battlefield, it would be exposed. It is still a question whether it can exert its combat effectiveness."

"Great Chief, I understand."

Hawk Henry looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and he looked at the chief with admiration.

The Great Chief, he is indeed the Great Chief. He saw the key core so quickly and interpreted so much information at once.

"That's right. This is completely in line with the facts and laws."

"It is incredible that they have broken through such a tight technical blockade and developed the 052C. It is incredible."

"If this ship is more powerful, then doesn't that mean our military experts are just useless? They can all be taken out and shot."

Hawk Henry accepted this fact calmly, thinking that the Longxia tribe developed the 052D purely for face-saving purposes and that it had no actual combat capability at all.

"You need to speed up research and development and strive to launch the Burke-3 guided-missile destroyer as soon as possible."

"It has taken us nearly a year to attack the Keyi tribe, and we haven't completely wiped them out yet. Compared to more than a decade ago, the situation is much slower."

"So much so that those small tribes think we are no longer good enough, and think we are a sick cat."

Having said that, a sneer appeared on the chief's face, and he glanced at Hawk Henry and his staff with his sharp eyes.

Then he said, "Once our Burke III is successfully developed, it's time to show it off."

"It's been a while since we've shown our swords, and some tribes have become complacent. They feel like they can do it all again."

"Is this okay?"

The chieftain became more and more excited as he spoke.
