I built an armada.

Chapter 382: The mountains and rivers are unified, Longxia is destined to rise
"The next step is to digest the relevant technology."

"Look at the many advanced technologies on this ship. Our captains haven't figured it out yet."

Liu Huaming patted Su Dingping's shoulder with his big hand and said earnestly, "Look, give them some training first so that they can master it first."

"They mastered it, and then passed it on to the sailors below them."

He was really afraid that Su Dingping would collapse from exhaustion, which would cause immeasurable losses to the navy.

Su Dingping has been too busy recently. He has received many complaints about Su Dingping not following arrangements for rest. It is just right to use this time to let him have a good rest.

"Commander, I understand. I will pay attention."

"This 10,000-ton destroyer is our country's first guided missile destroyer with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons. It is not a cruiser."

"In the future, we won't need cruisers either."

"Its combat performance completely surpasses the 052D and the previous 052C. In our navy sequence, its comprehensive combat power ranks first!"

"It is also the first warship that our navy has set a world trend in."

"I'm not bragging, I'm stating a fact. Once our 10,000-ton destroyer is released to the public, you'll know."

Su Dingping could certainly understand what Liu Huaming meant, so he simply stopped paying attention to the issue of carrier-based aircraft and instead brought the topic back to the 10,000-ton destroyer.

"It's inspiring to hear this. I can finally see our own 10,000-ton destroyer in my lifetime."

"Dingping, this 10,000-ton destroyer hasn't been named yet. As its chief designer, you should give it a name."

Hearing these words, Liu Huaming was deeply moved and spoke with great emotion.

I never thought that the Longxia Navy would one day own a 10,000-ton destroyer that would lead the world trend and break the tonnage record of the Longxia Navy's self-made missile destroyers.

It can be said that this is the best era for Longxia Navy to be equipped.

In the past, the navy had always been at the bottom of the three armed forces, but now it is leading the world trend in equipment development, and all this is possible because of Su Dingping.

"Yes, Dingping, just pick one."

"I have high hopes for you. Once this ship has a name, it will be officially included in the navy."

"People have names, and this ship should also have its own name. Dingping, you come up with one."

Xu Dongguo and others echoed this. They felt that Su Dingping's name was well deserved, just like naming their own children.

"Row!"

Su Dingping was not pretentious and began to think seriously after receiving the order.

This is the first 10,000-ton destroyer of the Longxia tribe, so the name naturally needs to be chosen with caution.

"Let's call it the Restoration."

Guangfu?
Everyone looked at each other, all confused.

"Recovery?"

Xu Dongguo murmured and repeated it, and suddenly his eyes brightened up a little, "Dingping, do you mean Longzhua Island?"

"That's right. Our tribe has not yet achieved complete unification."

Su Dingping said seriously, "Although our navy is constantly growing and developing, we are fully confident to compete with the great powers of Blue Star in the ocean."

"The emergence of this 10,000-ton destroyer will be a powerful boost to our great unification."

"It came here for the unification of Longxia!"

Hearing this, the leaders were overwhelmed with emotion.

Come here specifically to unify Longxia.

What an ambitious and inspiring ambition!
"Okay, okay, this is a good name, let's call it Guangfu!"

"What a man who came here specifically to unify Longxia."

"Looking at the five permanent members, only Longxia has never been unified. This has also led to many countries complaining about us, and they often use this to threaten us and get benefits from us."

"When we have enough Guangfu ships, we'll see who dares to blackmail us!"

Qian Wenbing said excitedly that it was really a relief. He found that Su Dingping understood the navy and the army even better.

As a professional soldier, who wouldn't want to one day be able to participate in the war to unify Longxia?

Previously, the navy was not strong enough, without powerful warships, and even less the ability to drive out the enemy. But now, with the launch of a 10,000-ton destroyer, the strength of the entire navy has leapt to a whole new level.

Now that the navy is strong and confident, it is time to consider unifying Longxia.

In the past, we were worried about interference from the Eagle Tribe, which was proven a few years ago. At that time, the navy could only use land artillery on board ships and adopt that kind of primitive method, but it is no longer necessary now.

With a 10,000-ton destroyer, the Eagle Tribe has nothing to fear no matter what navy comes!

Liu Huaming was in a state of unrest.

The navy’s previous dream was just to guard the country’s borders and fight the enemy in the near seas, to be able to fight back if the enemy came to their doorstep, and to protect the stability of the sea.

Later, it developed from a light blue navy to a deep blue navy, and then developed to the point where the navy could conduct long-distance operations and block the enemy outside the country.

And today, with the existence of a 10,000-ton destroyer, it is not impossible to unify Longxia in his lifetime.

The development of naval equipment is so rapid that it has almost allowed these leaders to dare to make further plans and draw up a more ambitious blueprint.

Even though the update speed is fast, each step is big and very stable!

"Dingping, how is the production line of this 10,000-ton destroyer being prepared?"

Liu Huaming suddenly thought of a key question and asked quickly.

"Commander, after this sea trial, there are still some parameters that need to be adjusted. In about a week, it can be directly delivered to the navy for use."

"In the next period of time, I will increase the training of professors such as Sun Yongguo to cultivate talents first."

"I don't think it will take long to go into production."

After Su Dingping thought for a while, he said very seriously.

"After the integrated military factory is expanded, part of it can be used to produce supporting weapons and ammunition."

"Most of the remaining ones can be used to produce 10,000-ton destroyers. The first one will take a little longer because the production line needs to be improved. It will probably take about five months."

"Starting from the second ship, the construction period will gradually shorten."

"only……"

Su Dingping paused at this point.

"Just what?"

Liu Huaming asked quickly.

"Is it a technical problem?" "Or is it a lack of manpower?"

“Or is it because there is not enough land, or the supporting industrial chain has not been opened up?”

Xu Dongguo and others could no longer sit still and asked hurriedly. They were extremely excited at the moment.

"There are no technical problems, there is no shortage of manpower, and the industrial chain can also be opened up."

Su Dingping smiled bitterly, and then said truthfully, "Commander, the military budget is a little insufficient. Most of the 180 billion previously spent has been used up, and only about 20 to 30 billion is left."

"If we spend frugally, at most it would be enough to cover the cost of a 10,000-ton destroyer."

In the past, he would conduct multiple tests in the virtual space of the military industry atlas before taking it to reality for production, which greatly reduced the cost of trial and error.

The military budget was abundant, and in order to save time, Su Dingping only tested it three or four times in the virtual space this time, and then took it directly to the integrated military factory to produce by trial and error.

In this way, the time was met, but a lot of money was consumed, and the rate of military expenditure increased rapidly.

Actually, there is no way around it.

After all, it is impossible to achieve balanced development of the two phases. This is determined by the current situation. The enemy will not give so much time to the Longxia tribe and allow it to grow slowly.

Therefore, Su Dingping had to make corresponding adjustments. Since he couldn't keep a low profile and develop slowly, he could only speed up the pace of production.

After hearing Su Dingping's words, Liu Huaming and other naval leaders breathed a sigh of relief.

Aren’t there still more than 30 billion left?
It’s not like there’s less than 40 or 50 billion left in military spending.

If this is true, it will cause them a huge headache.

"Commander, the improved production line can produce two ships at a time. We can't afford 30 billion, so we can only build one ship at a time."

"After all, this includes the research and development of various core technologies, the opening up of upstream and downstream industrial chains, and the improvement and upgrading of new production lines."

"This is a systematic investment. We owed too much before and we have to make up for it."

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Su Dingping continued, saying that he knew very well what military spending meant to the navy, but some money had to be spent.

It's because the industrial chain is too low-end, and there's nothing he can do about it.

If you want to improve the industrial chain under this environment, you must invest a lot of money to consume upstream and downstream and to conduct trial and error.

In fact, this is also because the current conditions are very backward, and there is no way to compare with the technology 20 years later, so the cost is at least more than half more expensive than the 20-ton destroyer years later.

Su Dingping was also helpless about this, but there was nothing he could do and he had to face it.

There must always be a trade-off when it comes to advanced technology and large amounts of financial investment, otherwise the Longxia Navy will be suppressed by the Eagle Tribe for quite a long time.

Without a 052-ton destroyer in the front, the Longxia Navy can only be called a defensive armed force relying on warships such as 052D or C.

In Su Dingping's concept, defense is the most unscientific and irrational behavior. Not only does it consume a large amount of manpower and equipment, but it will also result in a situation where nine out of ten defenses are useless.

The best defense is offense, punching your fist into the enemy's territory, causing trouble for the enemy and making the enemy run around in a hurry.

The 10,000-ton destroyer was born under such conditions.

Therefore, while the Navy needs to vigorously develop missile destroyers such as the 052D, it also needs to build a large number of -ton destroyers to ensure that it has more fists to punch out and poke the enemy in the heart.

A 10,000-ton destroyer can only be used for defense, but has no way to bring strategic initiative.

When they learned that it would cost more than 20 billion yuan to produce a fully equipped and crewed 10,000-ton destroyer, Liu Huaming and other naval leaders felt filled with bitterness and helplessness.

The cost of a 052D is only over 20 billion yuan, and if weapons and ammunition are included, it will not exceed billion yuan.

But when it comes to 7-ton destroyers, the number has increased by almost times, which is scary.

However, when they thought about the fact that the combat performance of the 052-ton destroyer completely crushed the D, and it was also a strategic-level surface ship in the hands of the navy, they had nothing to say.

"It's okay. The navy can afford this military expense!"

"Dingping, I still say the same thing, you don't have to worry."

Liu Huaming waved his hand and responded calmly.

But he felt helpless in his heart. If he had not robbed and sold the warships, and got compensation from the Donghuang tribe, plus other factors such as the appropriation from the surface, the navy would not have had sufficient military funds and the funds to produce 10,000-ton destroyers and build integrated military factories.

Otherwise, where can I get so much money?

It’s expensive, but there’s a reason why it’s expensive. A 10,000-ton destroyer is really great.

He had already seen that whether it was Xu Dongguo, Qian Wenbing or Xiao Chongjun, they all looked eager to try, and it was obvious that they wanted to add this 10,000-ton destroyer to their own fleet.

Even the chiefs of the army and the air force were drooling over this ship, and it was the source of all his confidence now.

In future confrontations with the Eagle Tribe Navy, he will be more confident and speak with more conviction.

Therefore, even if his back teeth were broken, he would still get enough military funds for Su Dingping and do a good job as the logistics minister.

Isn’t it just military spending?

He can afford it and can afford it!
On the other side, the Donghuang tribe.

After respectfully sending the Eagle Tribe Chief away, the head of the cabinet immediately convened an emergency cabinet meeting.

The conference hall was extremely spacious and bright. The headlights flashed brightly, just like the excited mood of the cabinet leader at the moment, illuminating the place as brightly as day.

"Everyone, after hours of negotiations between me and the chief, he finally gave in."

"We have obtained the command of the second light aircraft carrier. The Great Chief is willing to let us use it freely. Our Maritime Self-Defense Force has obtained a major equipment."

"In addition, we have reached a preliminary agreement with the Great Chief to purchase new warships. We will have a batch of new missile destroyers and many new ships."

"As for which ones, both sides still need to negotiate."

The cabinet chief's words immediately made the cabinet ministers excited.

The Eagle Tribe is finally willing to help them!
This also means that the hard times are finally over and they finally see hope.

Think about how bitter the pain and suffering have been for such a long time, they all have personal experience of it.

Even when attending international occasions, they dare not speak too loudly when facing representatives of other tribes. It is so frustrating.

If they met representatives of the Longxia tribe, they would have no choice but to take a detour and would never dare to confront them head-on.

After the chief's visit, they finally got what they wanted. They suddenly felt more confident and were able to hold their heads up high again.

"Captain, when our new warships arrive and we form a new fleet, we must get back at the Longxia tribe."

"We must avenge this!"

The Minister of Defense spoke first, his eyes flashing with cold light and murderous intent.

His words were like a spark that lit a fuse, immediately igniting the cabinet ministers.

"That's right, we must get back our grievances, beat the Longxia tribe to a pulp, and bring shame upon them so that they will never dare to provoke us again!"
