I built an armada.

Chapter 391 Shocked Everyone, the Navy Turns Out to Be So Strong

The main policy was determined, which was to not give an inch to the enemy and to fight back resolutely.

But how to do this specifically becomes a big problem, that is, how to start the fight specifically.

It suddenly became the focus of discussion among everyone.

"As we all know, there will be security measures when the chief travels, and there will definitely be fighter jets escorting Air Force One."

"For some special reasons, we naturally cannot directly attack Air Force One."

"In addition, the Eagle Tribe has stationed the Seventh Fleet in the East Desert. This is a fleet with aircraft carriers. Who knows, they might be deployed at that time."

"In addition, we also have to consider that some of the surrounding tribes, such as the Feilu Tribe, the White Elephant Tribe, the Thousand Buddha Tribe, and the Niying Tribe, may turn against us at any time and stab us in the back."

Before everyone had thought it through, Army Chief Deng Zhenhua looked around at everyone and spoke first.

Since the Longxia tribe is currently in a stage of being neither strong nor weak, the surrounding tribes are naturally fence-sitters, indecisive and unwilling to change their minds.

When they fought against the Donghuang Tribe, they had bad intentions towards the Longxia Tribe and were sharpening their knives. It is hard to say whether they can hold back when the Eagle Tribe takes action this time.

If it doesn't end soon, they might not be able to hold back and take action directly, rushing forward madly to tear the flesh of the Longxia tribe.

After hearing Deng Zhenhua's words, everyone's heart suddenly tightened.

That's the huge pressure they have to deal with when they fight back.

Among them are not only the watchdog Donghuang tribe and the garrison of the Eagle tribe, but also the surrounding tribes that have good relations with the Eagle tribe, and even its allies.

It can be said that if you are not careful, you will end up being besieged by a pack of wolves.

If it really comes to this, it would be like starting a similar battle decades ago where we had to fight more than a dozen tribes at once.

Of course, it’s not that exaggerated now, but it’s not far off.

"Except for these."

Deng Zhenhua spoke again, "In this chaotic situation, our army can only play a small role."

"Of course, the Army is the best choice for stabilizing ground conflicts and maintaining domestic peace and stability!"

This is the truth, and that is why everyone feels so heavy-hearted.

Everyone knows that the army's strength is among the best in the world. After the war decades ago, the army has established an unshakable position on the blue planet.

There is no tribe in the world that is so blind as to invade the Longxia tribe's homeland. Even the Eagle tribe is the same. Their army dares not send a single soldier into Longxia!
But now we are fighting a naval battle, how much role can the army play?

Very limited!

Blue Planet’s strongest army cannot be used to its full potential, so we can only rely on the air force and navy, which is very stressful.

"The help we can provide from the air force is also limited. It is nothing more than fighter jets, reconnaissance planes, and bombers."

The Air Force Chief took over the conversation and said with a serious face.

The current strength of the Air Force is really too weak. It has no equipment and lacks corresponding training. He feels that it is even worse than the Navy.

But if a fight breaks out, they won't back down.

Not only are there no cowards in the Air Force, there are no cowards either!

"But our air force has a shortcoming. After the battle, we need to return to refuel, so the range cannot be too far."

"If the navy's aircraft carriers are built, perhaps this shortcoming can be made up."

But having said this, he smiled bitterly again and realized an important problem: Air Force fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft are two different things, and there is no way that the two can be compatible.

Both the Army and the Air Force have now expressed their views and pointed out their respective shortcomings.

The rest can only be relied upon by the navy.

Everyone knows that the main force that can keep the enemy out of the country right now is the navy.

As a result, all the leaders looked at the Navy Commander Liu Huaming at the same time.

"Tell me about your navy, what is its current combat capability?"

Xue Shuai looked at Liu Huaming who was not far away and asked directly.

Liu Huaming knew very well that he could no longer hide it.

"Marshal Xue, our navy currently has 48 multi-purpose ships, 7 submarines, 2 nuclear submarines... one 051C, 9 052Cs, 15 052Ds, and a -ton destroyer, the Guangfu."

When the navy's strength was gradually exposed to everyone, all the leaders present were dumbfounded.

When did the navy have so many warships?

Those military experts were also confused.

This is obviously completely different from the navy they know.

For a moment, they felt that they were out of touch with the times. The navy had undergone such great changes, but they knew nothing about it.

They are very familiar with the multi-functional ships mentioned above, submarines, and even the 052C, and they even know advanced warships like the 052C.

After all, the Navy had dispatched a team of 052C warships to escort the negotiators to Doha, and they forcibly visited the surrounding tribes along the way. After media reports, they also paid attention to it.

But at that time, there was only one 052D.

How long has it been? Why are there so many Type 052Ds all of a sudden?
The number actually reached 15 ships. How many did the navy have hidden before?
It would be even more terrifying if the productivity was so terrifying.

It's exaggerated to a terrifying degree.

It really shocked them!
Even Xue Shuai was quite shocked in his heart.

The development of the navy in recent times, especially in the past one or two years, has been like riding a rocket. It is so fast that it completely exceeded his imagination.

If we don’t talk about the 10,000-ton destroyer today, I’m afraid few people would know about it.

If three U2 high-altitude reconnaissance planes had not been shot down at once at night, Liu Huaming and other senior naval officials might not have known that Su Dingping had developed the Guangfu so quickly.

The navy's ability to hide its strength is truly terrifying!
The leaders looked at each other, shock written all over their faces.

Without realizing it, has the navy developed to such a powerful level?

"Excuse me, General Liu, how many troops did your navy send to defeat the East Desert Sea's independent forces?"

"Can you tell me now?"

A leader suddenly asked at this time. He was a little uncomfortable with the navy becoming so strong all of a sudden.

This matter has been kept top secret until now, and even though two years have passed, it has not been declassified until now.

Not many leaders knew about it, so it naturally aroused the curiosity of many leaders.

The only thing they knew was the result. The Longxia Navy completely wiped out the independent forces of the East Desert Sea. As for how they won and what the casualty ratio was, they had no idea at all.

Apart from some people in the navy, only Xue Shuai, the army chief Deng Zhenhua, and the air force chief knew about it, but no one told anyone else. Liu Huaming couldn't help but look at Xue Shuai. If he wanted to tell the truth, he had to get his nod.

After a brief thought, Xue Shuai nodded and indicated to Liu Huaming that it could be made public.

After all, this was an internal high-level meeting and a confidentiality agreement had been signed before. No matter who leaked the secrets, they would definitely face legal sanctions!
"In addition to multi-purpose ships and submarines, we also dispatched one 051C, six 6Cs, and one 052D."

"Oh, by the way, there were two Type 051s, but we later sold them to the Tesha tribe."

"that's it."

Liu Huaming shut up immediately after he finished speaking.

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's all!"

The person who asked the question was shocked and his head was buzzing.

Most of the people present felt that they had suffered a critical blow, and the peace faction simply chose to remain silent.

With such a small force, they actually fought against the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force and finally won the victory.

"What about the Eastern Desert Sea Self-Defense Force? How many troops did they dispatch?"

After a while, someone immediately asked.

"The dispatch included the Haruna-class aircraft carrier, three and a half 88-class fleets, and several submarines."

After a brief pause, Liu Huaming glanced at the relevant information and then added, "We also shot down two of the four fighter jets sent by the Eastern Wasteland Air Force to provide support."

"If it weren't for this, the East Wasteland Tribe would never surrender willingly."

"Of course. After destroying the enemy's main force, we will immediately march to the city, launch missile attacks on the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force headquarters, and even directly threaten Kyoto."

As soon as he finished speaking, a military expert asked, "What is your combat loss ratio?"

"As for the damage ratio, I wonder if the consumption of some ammunition counts?"

"As for the crew and the warship, none of them were damaged."

Liu Huaming responded easily and calmly. This was the most proud battle for the navy, and it made him very proud.

After these words were spoken, the other party was stunned.

Everyone present felt as if their brains had been hit by a critical hit. This was too terrifying.

The up-and-coming force defeated the old maritime force, the Donghuang Maritime Self-Defense Force, which had dominated the Dongzhou waters for decades, and surprisingly suffered only zero losses in the end.

Isn't it normal to lose some shells and missiles?

Could it be that they could destroy the entire East Wasteland Sea without bloodshed? That would be too much of a loser, right?

You must know that the Donghuanghai Self-Defense Force has an aircraft carrier fleet and the 88 Fleet. It once arrogantly claimed that it would destroy the three major fleets of Longxia, but now it has been destroyed.

Despite such a huge disadvantage, we actually achieved an absolute victory.

If they hadn't taken this opportunity to let Liu Huaming say it himself today, they would never know the truth. Even if there were rumors outside, they would never believe it.

Their understanding of the navy was completely overturned!
Some leaders who participated in the previous three-service chiefs' meeting recalled that time when Liu Huaming insisted on confronting the Donghuang tribe, even if he had only 50% chance of success. It turned out that he was really confident.

"I never thought that the Navy could confront the Eastern Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force aircraft carrier fleet with just such a small force, and then win the naval battle with zero casualties, and even shot down two fighter planes of the Air Self-Defense Force. If it weren't for the decryption today, I would have thought that the Navy suffered heavy losses."

"I am ashamed, ashamed. Our navy has become so strong. It has completely exceeded all my expectations. The speed of navy development is really amazing."

"If the navy continues to develop at this speed, it will take off. I am both excited and shocked. The future of our navy is limitless."

"With the current equipment level of our navy, I think we can confront the Seventh Fleet of the Eagle Tribe, and at the same time, we can also destroy the surrounding small tribes that are influenced by the wind."

"I am really shocked by the achievements our navy has made today. Looking back, we can no longer use old-fashioned thinking to measure our navy."

The leaders were filled with emotion; the rapid progress of the navy really refreshed their three perspectives.

How long has it been?
Looking back at themselves, they have been almost standing still during this period of time.

But before, they were still brazenly looking down on the navy, but it turned out that the ones they really looked down upon were almost themselves.

No one dared to continue talking about this.

It’s so embarrassing to talk about it.

Then they thought, the strength of the navy has probably doubled again. If they really were to face the Eagle Tribe Navy, it would be hard to say who would win.

"Comrade Liu Huaming, can you tell me about the current strength of the navy?"

After pondering for a moment, Army Chief Deng Zhenhua asked. He was now very curious about the level of the navy's strength.

"current?"

Liu Huaming frowned slightly, "There are more 052Ds, -ton destroyers, and some new frigates. As for their specific combat capabilities, I really can't answer you."

In fact, even he himself is not quite clear. On the surface, the number of warships has increased, but when it comes to the cutting-edge 052D and the -ton destroyer, these two types of warships will greatly enhance the navy's combat effectiveness.

The last time we fought against the independent forces of the East Desert Sea, we only dispatched one 052D. Moreover, Su Dingping once said that the -ton destroyer is the fist of the navy.

High-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and bombers are no match for the 10,000-ton destroyers.

Is there any bomber on the blue planet that can fly to an altitude of 30,000 meters?
With the presence of the 10,000-ton destroyer, those powerful weapons cannot get close to the Longxia Sea at all unless they come to die.

The navy's biggest shortcoming in the past, air defense, was forcibly made up for by the 10,000-ton destroyers, and even brought the navy to a whole new level.

As for the current strength of the navy, Liu Huaming was actually very much looking forward to it, but after all, he had never really fought against anyone, so he had no idea.

The true strength of a navy cannot be tested through military exercises alone, unless a large-scale naval battle is fought with a certain tribe and all the navy's warships are put to the test.

Liu Huaming smiled awkwardly at the Army Chief Deng Zhenhua, then pouted at Su Dingping.

Deng Zhenhua knew some core secrets of the navy, and he also understood Liu Huaming's situation. In the end, the strength of the navy still depended on Su Dingping.

He couldn't help but envy Liu Huaming a little. He was able to recruit such a top talent and no longer had to worry about the development of weapons and equipment.

In his opinion, this kind of embarrassment is happiness, and it is something that can make people laugh even in their dreams.

"Dingping, what is the current combat capability of the navy?"

Deng Zhenhua looked at Su Dingping and asked with a smile.

Liu Huaming also reacted at this moment and looked at Su Dingping.

Although he was the highest commander of the navy, he had no idea about the combat effectiveness of those newly commissioned warships.

Looking at the entire navy, perhaps only Su Dingping knows the answer clearly.
