Chapter 339 Navy Enrollment, Really Strong

In mid-April, the economic development situation of the Longxia tribe in the previous quarter was made public.

Due to joining the Blue Star Alliance trade organization, the economy has achieved rapid growth. The economic growth in three months is faster than that in the six months last year. It can be said that the economy is booming.

The sense of happiness of the people in Longxia is obviously getting higher and higher. They feel that their lives are getting better and better, and their days are becoming more and more promising.

As the country's doors opened, many foreign products also poured into the country, greatly enriching people's choices and meeting the needs of different groups of people.

Almost everyone believes that as time goes by, the economy of the Longxia tribe will surely take off rapidly.

At the same time, the upgrade and renovation of the new integrated military factory was completed.

More than 20,000 new skilled technical engineers have all entered relevant positions, and are led by old employees to learn how to operate related machines and equipment, master new production processes, etc.

Their arrival has greatly enhanced the production capacity of the integrated military factory. Once the training is completed, the several docks in the integrated military factory can be fully invested in the construction of 052D.

Sometimes when Su Dingping was standing in front of the windowsill to rest, he happened to see the integrated military factory full of busy scenes. He felt particularly happy and healed.

He could almost see the arrival of the Longxia Navy's super fleet, with the 052D as the backbone, plus a number of frigates and supply ships, galloping across the ocean to safeguard Longxia's national interests.

"It seems that everything is going according to plan."

"There's still enough time."

Su Dingping turned his head to look at the work progress chart and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The current Longxia Navy's advanced second-generation modernized missile destroyers are still small in scale, with only a dozen or so in total, which is far from enough in number and scale.

Next, after these 20,000 people are added to the engineering team, the plan to produce warships in large numbers can be officially implemented.

At the end of April, a planning meeting for recruiting new students was held at the Navy Headquarters.

Xu Dongguo personally presided over the meeting.

"Our navy is running low on manpower again, and we need to recruit a new batch of men to replenish our manpower."

"The Navy has now truly become a high-tech military branch. The quality of the new recruits we recruit needs to be improved. Are the military academies ready?"

Xu Dongguo first looked at the person in charge of the Naval Academy and asked loudly.

He is filled with emotion as the navy has developed to this day, and the demand for talent is growing.

He also learned from Su Dingping that the integrated military factory had been renovated and upgraded, and that large-scale shipbuilding would begin next.

As a result, the Navy’s demand for talent becomes urgent.

The talents trained before are no longer enough, and recruiting new students has become an urgent matter that must be implemented as soon as possible.

After all, it takes some time to cultivate talents, and it is impossible for new students to go on board directly.

"Reporting to the chief, we have already made preparations. The three major colleges can enroll students at the same time."

"We have also developed a new talent training model to accelerate the generation of talents and closely connect with the fleet, which can fully meet the rapid development needs of the navy."

The head of the Naval Academy took a look at the document in front of him and reported in a very serious tone.

Naval academies are responsible for the important task of training future naval talents. They are an indispensable part of the generation of naval combat effectiveness and a stage in life that every naval member must go through.

"Very good. Then I will tell you that the maximum number of students enrolled is about 20,000."

"Technical support jobs account for more than 30 percent of the total."

"Our navy has more and more new warships, but we don't have enough logistical technicians. When advanced warships break down in the future, we won't be able to ensure timely troubleshooting, and we won't know where to start."

A satisfied smile appeared on Xu Dongguo's face, and he then assigned the recruits.

Not only does the number of recruits need to be increased, but the number of logistics and technical jobs also needs to be greatly increased to ensure that the navy has enough available talent.

After exploring the talent training model for some time, he can basically confirm that the new warships have higher requirements for talent quality, especially logistics support personnel.

Previously, they were basically talents left over from retired ships. Even if they already had very rich technical skills, they still needed a lot of training, otherwise they would not be able to adapt to the needs of new warships.

Whether it is 052C, 052D, or other new frigates, all of them are the product of high-tech accumulation, and the requirements for talent quality are getting higher and higher.

As a result, the Navy had to invest a lot of manpower and material resources to increase talent training.

Fortunately, there was no large-scale shipbuilding, and the transformation and upgrading of the integrated military factory provided them with enough time, otherwise they would not have had enough time to train talents.

"Does everyone understand?"

Xu Dongguo looked around at everyone and asked in a strong voice.

"understand!"

Everyone responded in unison.

"Well, the specific matters of enrollment will be handed over to Comrade Zhang Zhaoxin."

"Contact all the official platforms and channels, release the Navy recruitment video, and put out the advertisement in advance."

Xu Dongguo then turned his head to look at Zhang Zhaoxin and made arrangements directly.

"Yes, Chief."

"I have already made the contact and have made relevant preparations."

“The video will be released early next month, with multiple platforms linked.”

Zhang Zhaoxin immediately accepted the order and responded very solemnly.

Regarding the naval recruitment, Xu Dongguo had already contacted him in advance, and the naval recruitment video and recruitment publicity had been prepared in advance.

"Very good, then we will proceed according to this time node."

“We have to move quickly.”

Xu Dongguo made a summary speech at the end and arranged the matter completely.

After everything was deployed, in early May, the Navy officially announced that it would release a Navy recruitment video in mid-month.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately attracted heated discussions among the whole nation.

"Oh my god, the navy is actually going to expand its enrollment, this is really great news."

"In the past, the navy was small and recruited secretly. Now it seems that our navy is no longer secretive and is doing things more and more like a great power navy."

"After defeating the Japanese, our navy has really become different. It is now standing firm. The navy is awesome."

"I give a thumbs up to the Navy this time. I look forward to seeing new equipment in the recruitment video, showing us the Navy's achievements in construction. Just thinking about it makes me very excited."

Just when the people of the whole country were immersed in anticipation, on May 10th, at the headquarters of the Northern Naval Base.

Zhang Zhaoxin, who had been preparing for several days, came here with the filmed video and met Xu Dongguo in person.

"Chief, the recruitment video is out, please review it."

After Zhang Zhaoxin finished his work report, he took out his laptop, placed it in front of Xu Dongguo, and clicked to play the case.

"it is good."

Xu Dongguo then started to watch carefully. The cutting-edge equipment was very majestic and spectacular, which made people excited.

“It was very well shot.”

"Why isn't there any old ships in there?" After watching, Xu Dongguo asked curiously. At least those old ships are also naval equipment and can still be displayed.

"Chief, the new students we recruit are all future-oriented."

"With the arrival of the shipbuilding boom, those old ships will definitely be eliminated, so there is no need for us to display them."

"Allowing freshmen to see what kind of warship they will be flying can also boost national morale."

Zhang Zhaoxin quickly explained that a strong navy was their greatest confidence, and it was a great thing that finally a new warship could be shown on camera.

At present, the navy has entered the stage of eliminating old ships and equipping new warships on a large scale. The worst of the navy is the 051C, and it won’t be long before this type of ship will be retired or transferred.

The 051C can be said to have witnessed the rise of the Longxia Navy. It is not an exaggeration to call it a turning point. Its preservation is only for commemorative purposes.

The Navy is currently equipped with five 052Ds and eight 8Cs, and another batch of 052Ds is being built intensively on the slipway.

It probably won't be long before it goes into the water.

The navy is now producing warships as fast as making dumplings, and on a large scale.

In the past, no sailor would have dared to even think about it.

The 052D equipped by the navy is currently the most powerful battleship on Blue Star, surpassing the Eagle Tribe's strongest Burke-2 type, and it has no problem dominating the waters of Dongzhou.

The formed fleet is extremely powerful and can easily hunt down a medium-sized naval power.

Even if they encounter the White Bear Tribe fleet, they will be able to engage in a naval battle of decent scale, and it will not be as one-sided as before.

Who could have thought that it took the Longxia Navy just over a year to grow to its current size?
"Okay, then follow this."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Dongguo felt that Zhang Zhaoxin's argument made sense, so he agreed.

"By the way, how is Cheng Yiqiang doing?"

In response to Xu Dongguo's question, Zhang Zhaoxin quickly reported what he knew.

In order to shoot the video this time, he visited many places.

"Reporting to the commander, the military experts at the 702 base are working day and night. Almost all of them are living in the database, eating and sleeping there."

"The progress is still good. They have already mastered most of the technical information provided by Dingping."

"It is estimated that in more than a month, the Varyag aircraft carrier can officially begin large-scale construction."

At this point, Zhang Zhaoxin suddenly changed the subject, "Commander, there is a problem that needs to be solved."

"What trouble?"

Xu Dongguo asked quickly.

"You know, our navy's shipbuilding base lacks technical reserves and foundation."

"Even if Dean Cheng and his team have mastered the core technology of aircraft carriers, they have too few high-precision machine tools and equipment. I am afraid that they will encounter various difficulties in continuing the construction."

"This is why Comrade Dingping said that continuing to build aircraft carriers is actually opening up the entire industrial chain of our domestic aircraft carrier construction."

"Fortunately, he said there is enough time."

Zhang Zhaozhong quickly took out a notebook, opened it and took a look, then immediately reported the problems recorded on it.

“Open up the entire industry chain?”

Hearing this, Xu Dongguo's heart trembled suddenly. Su Dingping was indeed far-sighted and down-to-earth, and every step he took was for the long-term benefit of the navy.

He also realized a very important point, why Su Dingping always put the transformation and upgrading of the integrated military factory first.

It’s because the domestic industrial strength is not enough.

"No wonder Dingping wants to fundamentally reform our navy's industrial system."

"Our domestic shortcomings in the industrial sector are still too obvious."

Xu Dongguo said with great emotion.

Before, he was always responsible for logistical support, and Su Dingping was the one who took care of the specific matters.

But now Su Dingping is busy with the large-scale construction of 052D and the 702-ton destroyer. The aircraft carrier was handed over to the base, and Sun Yongguo and Zhang Gongnong were also transferred there.

Even though the strength has been strengthened, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without machine tools and equipment, progress is also slow.

Perhaps Su Dingping had anticipated this in advance, which is why he analyzed the core technical information in great detail and freed up enough time to build high-precision machine tools and equipment.

"Then, can we temporarily use the relevant equipment of the integrated military factory?"

Soon, Xu Dongguo came up with a solution.

"I'm afraid that won't work. Moreover, according to Captain Wan, the equipment in the integrated military factory is fully booked with production tasks and cannot be temporarily used."

"But I learned from President Sun that Dingping had also handed over the design drawings of high-precision machine tools to the 702 base."

"Now we need to organize our top talents to overcome it and open up the industrial chain."

"Commander, I have to say that our navy made the right decision to recruit Ding Ping. He is an irreplaceable strategic scientist."

Zhang Zhaoxin took a deep breath and spoke bluntly, with the last few words coming from the bottom of his heart.

Su Dingping not only proposed opening up the entire industrial chain, but also provided corresponding solutions, directly breaking through the pain points and core issues.

In this way, the obstacles to opening up the entire industrial chain will be greatly reduced.

"Dingping is really thoughtful. He has made an indelible contribution to the development of our navy's equipment."

"For this, he should be awarded first-class merit again."

"He should be awarded a medal!"

After sighing, Xu Dongguo immediately ordered, "If that's the case, I'll personally supervise this matter. You just need to be responsible for this enrollment plan."

"Yes, Chief."

After receiving the order, Zhang Zhaoxin got up and left.

"Oh, luckily there is Dingping in the navy, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to grope in the dark."

Xu Dongguo pondered for a long time, sighed, and then got up to find Liu Huaming.

He alone could not coordinate such a major event.

That night, at 6:30.

Amid the expectant gaze of countless people, the Navy’s new recruitment video was finally released.

Different from the last time when the news was released online, this time the Navy released it directly on CCTV-1 during the prime time of news.

In recent times, the navy has brought constant surprises to the general public, defeating the Donghuang Maritime Self-Defense Force. The chief of Donghuang personally submitted a letter of surrender. This was an unprecedented sense of honor and also washed away the shame.

It is precisely because of this that this time the Navy’s new recruitment video has attracted special attention.

Countless people squatted in front of the TV.

There are also numerous military fans and netizens gathered on Tiexue.net.
