I built an armada.

Chapter 401: Burning Hundreds of Billions of Military Expenditure and Gaining Praise from Mr. Qian

He could even imagine the scene of a future naval battle.

The Eagle Tribe put the unmanned reconnaissance and strike system they had developed with great difficulty into actual combat, hoping to give the Longxia Navy a hard time. However, the Longxia warships were equipped with laser weapons, which completely destroyed them.

Then the Longxia Navy, not yet satisfied, specifically called out to the Eagle Tribe to ask them to send another wave of drones.

If it really comes to that, I'm afraid the Eagle Tribe will be so angry that they vomit blood!

"Thank you. As a warship designer, this is what I should consider."

Having said that, Su Dingping slowly walked to the aircraft carrier design drawing and pointed at the carrier-based aircraft on it.

"In fact, our road to nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is still very long. We are not in a hurry for now. We should slowly continue to build the Varyag aircraft carrier and open up our aircraft carrier industry chain."

"Once the industrial chain is mature, our subsequent production of aircraft carriers will be much faster."

"By the way, I have already had the U-2 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that was salvaged earlier transported back. I will take some time to deal with it later, but it will probably take some time to master its core technology."

As soon as he said this, Liu Huaming felt like he was about to explode.

It seems that Su Dingping's purpose in calling was not to throw it into the military museum for people to visit and conduct national defense education, but to steal this thing.

How long has it been since you brought it back, and you've already started to tackle it?

It is probably self-evident how difficult it is to conquer such a pile of wreckage.

The engine and the core avionics system have been blown up like this, can they still be recycled?

He felt a little weird.

"For now, I'm just talking about an arrangement. We'll talk about everything after it's worked out."

Su Dingping did not continue this topic. After all, scientific research requires practical actions and tangible results.

In fact, he has not yet mentioned the amphibious assault ships. Amphibious assault ships need to be developed. So many islands in the southern waters need them as delivery vehicles, but he does not have too much energy to focus on this at the moment.

Early warning aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft, carrier-based fighter jets, etc. are still waiting for research and development. Su Dingping feels that his research and development schedule is already fully scheduled and he has no time for entertainment at all.

Now he wished he could split one second into two halves, time was really too precious.

After a few people chatted for a while, they no longer paid attention to the issue of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. After all, this is something that will happen in the future for some time.

There is so much here to keep them interested!
"Dingping, please take me to visit the integrated military factory."

Old Qian retracted his gaze, looked at Su Dingping and suggested.

"Ok."

Su Dingping turned around and made an inviting gesture, "Mr. Qian, please come this way."

Then the group left the research institute building and headed towards the shipyard. The well-planned military factories, rolling workshops, forging workshops and the high degree of automation left a deep impression on everyone.

It took more than half an hour to take a quick look at the core production area of ​​the integrated military factory. It was a busy scene everywhere.

"I dare say that this is definitely the most advanced military production base in our Longxia tribe."

After the visit, Mr. Qian was extremely shocked and said directly.

He has also visited many military factories in the country and even personally guided the construction of some military production bases, but in terms of advancement, this place is definitely ranked first.

In the production workshop, there are automatic welding robots, automated production lines, and very intelligent production equipment.

Each one of them left a deep impression on him.

Xue Shuai's heart was also extremely excited, and he couldn't help but sigh that there were probably not many such military production bases even in the entire Eagle Tribe.

He had been to some naval military factories of the Eagle Tribe for exchanges between the two armies, but he had never seen one with such a high degree of automation.

He now understood why the navy had added so many warships in just one year, almost at the level of dumpling manufacturing.

If the military expenditure is sufficient and all parties cooperate closely, I am afraid that even if we start an arms race with the Eagle Tribe, we may not necessarily lose.

With such a military production base, why should the navy worry about its revival?

It can be said that this was also the first time that Liu Huaming saw the entire picture of the integrated military factory.

My heart was surging with emotion and I was extremely shocked.

Whether it was an automated production line or an intelligent production workshop, each one opened his eyes.

All of these were bought with money, and every penny was spent on the most important things. Su Dingping really didn't spend a penny more, nor did he spend it on other aspects.

Just at this moment, Su Dingping showed an embarrassed smile on his face and rubbed his hands.

"General Xue, and the commander, the 100 billion yuan we used up is almost gone. If we start the follow-up research, I'm afraid the remaining 50 billion yuan won't last for two months."

Upon hearing this, Liu Huaming was stunned and his breathing became rapid.

In the past, the navy’s annual military expenditure was only more than 20 billion, and even if they tightened their belts, it was only enough for one year.

Now, more than 50 billion is not enough for two or three months. Isn’t the speed at which military spending is being consumed too terrifying?
Although the navy's strength has improved by leaps and bounds, the military expenditure is also terrifying.

The general also felt overwhelmed.

There is a limited amount of military spending every year. The Army gets a bit, the Air Force gets a bit, and in the end, the Navy only gets that much.

In the past two years, the military expenditure for the navy has more than doubled. Adding what the navy has managed to get on its own, if all else adds up, it’s probably not 200 billion, but at least over 100 billion.

As a result, all the effort of just two years was wasted.

The speed at which money is burned is a little scary, but the result is also very gratifying. The naval integrated military factory has been expanded again and again and has reached its current advanced scale.

If he had not come here in person, he would not have known that the Navy already had such a modern and advanced military production base.

It can be said that this place is completely prepared for fighting a big battle.

In other words, even if the Navy encounters a face-to-face confrontation at sea with the Eagle Tribe, it has the confidence to have a large number of combat ships in a short period of time.

Whether it is competing in shipbuilding speed or quality, the Navy has full confidence!
His back gradually became straighter.

He was even more confident in the next battle.

"Dingping, just focus on your work. I still have some military funds. If it's not enough, I'll transfer it to you after I return."

Even though it was very painful, Liu Huaming still gritted his teeth and said when he thought about the development of the navy.

He knew very well that no matter how hard or tiring it was, he could not let Su Dingping lack military funds, and he had to ensure the continuity of scientific research at the integrated military factory.

It costs money to build 052-ton destroyers and the D.

Now he is facing a direct provocation from the Eagle Tribe, with the navy bearing the brunt. At this critical juncture he cannot afford to save money. Even if he has to tighten his belt and save on other expenses, he has to ensure Su Dingping's side.

The Navy has finally achieved the current situation, and he will never allow it to become weak due to the problem of military expenditure.

The navy is a high-tech branch of the military. Without advanced military equipment, it will only be beaten.

In the past, we didn’t have advanced warships, and we were stretched to the limit in everything we did. We were like turtles hiding behind their heads for thousands of years. But today, the navy has become the strongest in the East Continent waters, and can confront the Eagle Tribe’s Seventh Fleet head-on. How domineering!
He had never been so proud before, and his back had never been so straight!
At this moment, even Mr. Qian felt a little distressed.

After so many years of developing the Thunder series of intercontinental ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons research and development, the cost is just that much.

The Navy's integrated military factory burned through more than 100 billion in military expenditures in one go, it was simply a money-eating monster.

Spending so much money would be painful for anyone.

But he also knew that if the navy wanted to take off quickly, it could not take the usual path. Naturally, it would have to spend a lot of military funds and pay a high price.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and there is no such thing as a cheap good thing.

This is especially true for the military industry, which has been built step by step and created by scientific researchers who have spent every penny wisely.

“Although a lot of money was spent, it was money that should have been spent.”

"Dingping, you didn't spend money recklessly."

Old Qian looked at Su Dingping with burning eyes and said seriously.

At this moment, if anyone said that Su Dingping was spending money recklessly, he would be the first to rush up and scold that guy.

Which country in the world does not spend a lot of money on naval construction?
Is it possible for the Longxia tribe to own a fleet that can challenge the navy of the Eagle tribe without spending any money?
Unless this person has bad intentions!
"Dingping, military expenses are not a problem. I will consider it. You don't have to worry."

"Just go ahead and do your research. Our navy still needs to make great progress and needs more advanced weapons and equipment!"

After Xue Shuai pondered for a moment, he spoke very seriously.

Hearing this, Liu Huaming immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if he were asked to find a way to raise military funds on his own, there would be no way to do it.

The main reason is that the military expenditure will be too much. If it is 10 or 8 billion, he can beg the army or the air force for funds without any problem, but this amount is tens of billions, which is an astronomical figure.

Even if we borrow from the army, they may not have it, unless we take all of theirs, but is that possible?

Since General Xue had made the final decision, Su Dingping felt more relieved.

Next, he can continue his research with confidence and strive to develop more advanced weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

But at this time, a new bold idea came into his mind.

"Um, Xue Shuai."

Xue Shuai looked at Su Dingping in confusion: "What do you want to say?"

"It's like this, I have some new ideas, but I don't know whether I should talk about them or not." Su Dingping said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xue Shuai's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

To be honest, he already has psychological trauma.

Old Qian became interested, and before Xue Shuai could speak, he asked, "Dingping, tell me what you have to say."

"I know that the current momentum of the navy's development is too strong, which has had a great impact on the army and the air force!"

"Even the army chief often asked me to come over, but I just couldn't get away."

“So, I came up with a very bold idea.”

"Of course, it was also inspired by the things that happened in the past."

"After all, they are all our own armed forces, they are all brother forces, and we cannot favor one over the other."

After looking at everyone, Su Dingping spoke with a serious face, but his speech was not very fast.

After hearing this, everyone felt that it made a lot of sense.

The navy, army and air force do need to develop in a balanced manner, and there must be no shortcomings, otherwise there will be no way to better fulfill national defense tasks.

As a result, everyone's interest became even stronger, and they all looked at Su Dingping.

"Continue."

Liu Huaming raised his hand and gestured.

He vaguely realized that what Su Dingping was talking about would be a huge plan, and once implemented, the military equipment of the three armed forces would be developed and guaranteed in a balanced manner.

"Therefore, I think we should build a complete military-industrial system that can radiate to the three armed forces."

"It covers land, sea, air, space, and even electricity."

"Five in One!"

Su Dingping copied the entire perfect military industrial system 20 years later.

Five in One!
This is a completely new concept for them.

It is also the modern military concept that Su Dingping brought from later generations.

This brought a huge ideological impact to Xue Shuai and Liu Huaming, and shocked them greatly.

Mr. Qian's expression was also quite moved at this moment.

A huge military-industrial system that fully encompasses the three armed forces, involving five different dimensions: land, sea, air, space, and electronics.

What a huge and grand blueprint this is!

Just thinking about it, the three of them found it incredible.

In fact, a few hours ago, Xue Shuai had similar thoughts. He just felt that the current military-industrial system was not perfect enough and was far from sufficient to support such a huge military-industrial construction.

It is far from being as magnificent and radiant as Su Dingping.

Sky and electricity, those are two new different dimensions. Space and electromagnetics and cyberspace are completely new and somewhat unfamiliar fields not only for him, but also for the entire Longxia tribe.

If Liu Huaming and others had brought this up somewhere else, he would at most just smile and not think too much about it. He would even certainly persuade the other party to be down-to-earth and not think about those distant things.

And now it was Su Dingping who actually proposed it. After seeing the new integrated military factory built with hundreds of billions of military expenditures, he no longer felt that this might not be a fantasy.

Because this is the foresight of a top strategic-level scientist, he must pay special attention to it!
"Dingping, how difficult is this?"

Liu Huaming at the side hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "After all, there are many fields that are not common. How can you integrate them together?"

"To be honest, it is indeed quite difficult."

Su Dingping slowly expressed his thoughts, "But once we find the most critical common area, that is, the main road, the difficulty is actually not that great."

"For example, after being improved, ship-borne air defense missiles can be used in army air defense forces, and anti-ship missiles can be improved into land-based cruise missiles."

"Similarly, it can also be improved into an air-launched version suitable for use by air force fighters. It's just a little more difficult, but it can be overcome."

"The phased array radar on the 10,000-ton destroyer, as well as sonar and other related technologies."
