I built an armada.

Chapter 404: Long Xiazhen military exercise, pressure on the chief

He felt that he had seriously fallen behind and was letting the country down.

"That's not the case. We are trying to understand the technology while also conducting trial and error. Naturally, our progress is much slower. I believe the higher-ups understand this."

"Yes, we are doing scientific research and opening up the relevant industrial chain of aircraft carriers. We need to coordinate the upstream and downstream industries. If we go slowly, we will give the upstream industries some time to adapt."

"It's true that the core technical information provided by Comrade Dingping is very useful. At least it shortens the time we spend exploring in the dark. As long as we master all the technologies, we can push forward the continued construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier without too much time."

"In a year or two at most, the Varyag aircraft carrier will be completely rebuilt and our mission will be completed."

"Aircraft carriers, we have dreamed of building aircraft carriers for a hundred years, and now we are finally going to start building them, and it will be completed in our hands. It feels like a dream."

A group of military experts were very excited, and their words were full of pride.

As the first generation of aircraft carrier developers of the Longxia tribe, they are undoubtedly very happy and lucky.

The century-old aircraft carrier dream.

Without aircraft carriers, a large carrier-based aircraft platform, the Longxia Navy would have no way to carry out long-term ocean operations. Without the protection of air power, warships would have to bear huge risks.

Aircraft carriers are an important symbol of a strong navy. Even though it is a little slow, they all know that once the upstream and downstream industrial chains are opened up, it will be quite easy for the Longxia tribe to build a purely domestically-made aircraft carrier in the future.

How many people have been looking forward to the early launching of the aircraft carrier. They have waited until their hair has turned white, and finally this day has come!
Therefore, they all felt that all the hard work during this period was worth it.

"Well, that's what I said, but..."

Cheng Yiqiang couldn't help but sigh, with a look of helplessness on his face.

He knew very well that this speed was too slow, and this was even with the core technical information and detailed annotations.

Then he spoke again.

"I don't know what progress Dingping has made now."

"Last time, he was already researching a 10,000-ton destroyer. If a 10,000-ton destroyer is built, our navy's strength will be greatly enhanced."

"Even if the Eagle Tribe Navy's aircraft carrier fleet comes, we are not afraid at all!"

Cheng Yiqiang's words immediately caused all the military experts to reveal expressions of surprise.

A 10,000-ton destroyer?

What the hell is that? They have never heard of it.

It is actually too powerful to be able to fight against an aircraft carrier formation alone.

Does the Longxia tribe really exist?
"Dean, what kind of equipment is a 10,000-ton destroyer?"

Finally someone asked, and everyone looked at Cheng Yiqiang like curious babies, waiting for him to answer their questions.

"Let me tell you, the 10,000-ton destroyer is groundbreaking and epoch-making."

"I dare say that it will bring the combat capability of the Longxia Navy to a whole new level. It is a truly great thing."

Cheng Yiqiang smiled casually, glanced at everyone, and spoke slowly, but he didn't get to the point, which instantly whetted everyone's appetite.

Just at this moment, Zhang Zhaozhong suddenly walked in. He came to visit the set.

"You guys are so excited that you all don't sleep. Is there any new progress?"

Zhang Zhaoxin glanced at everyone and asked cheerfully.

"The research is already in its final stages, so we have no time to sleep."

Someone responded with a smile.

"The commander asked me to come and see how things are going on your side. It's a good thing that you're all here, otherwise I'd have to look for you later."

Zhang Zhaoxin's words immediately made everyone excited.

"Colonel Zhang, you can report back when you return. We will have good news about our aircraft carrier by early next year at the latest."

"Please tell the commander that we invite you to take a ride on the aircraft carrier at sea."

"Our aircraft carrier progress is proceeding as planned, leaders please rest assured."

Seeing how happy everyone was, Zhang Zhaoxin forced a smile and nodded, saying, "I'll definitely take the message home."

"Then I'll be leaving first, you guys continue with your work."

Having said that, Zhang Zhaoxin turned around and left quickly.

But Cheng Yiqiang had already noticed his abnormality, and there was a look of worry on his face. It was obvious that there was a problem.

So he immediately chased after him.

"Lao Zhang, wait a moment."

When they reached the door, Cheng Yiqiang finally caught up.

"Old Zhang, you don't look right. You look so gloomy. Is the progress of the aircraft carrier not going as planned?"

"That's not true."

Zhang Zhaoxin shook his head slightly, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and finally chose to conceal it.

Cheng Yiqiang grabbed Zhang Zhaoxin and stared at him for a long while before he spoke: "What is going on? Lao Zhang, something is wrong with you. Are you going to hide it from me?"

"This one……"

"Hey, come on, tell me, at my level, would I leak secrets?"

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Cheng Yiqiang became anxious and spoke seriously.

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhaoxin finally started talking.

"There's going to be a war."

what?
Want to fight?
Who with you this time?
Wasn’t the Donghuang tribe defeated?

Could it be that the other tribes in the Dongzhou waters are so blind that they want to challenge the might of the Longxia Navy?
"Is it those rogue tribes in the East Continent Sea? I knew they were getting bolder and bolder. They are simply courting death!"

Cheng Yiqiang showed an angry look on his face. He really disliked those villain tribes.

"Do not."

"It's the Eagle Tribe!"

When Zhang Zhaoxin said the name of this tribe, Cheng Yiqiang was stunned for a long time.

Turning his head and looking at the military experts who were still busy in the research building, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Just now those experts kept saying that the progress was fast enough, but now it is not enough to catch up with the use. When the Longxia Navy needs an aircraft carrier, they have just mastered the theory of core technology.

During this time, he saw that the military experts were too tired, so he made arrangements for them to have a holiday rest system.

At this moment he wanted to slap himself a few times.

"Damn it! If we had worked harder, the aircraft carrier would have been launched and put into use long ago!"

"It's all our fault. We were slow."

"Well, can we handle it?"

Zhang Zhaoxin took a deep look at Cheng Yiqiang and couldn't help but comfort him: "It's not very serious yet, but the navy has already dispatched all its troops, and it's probably going to be a big battle." Cheng Yiqiang said quickly: "Then just take out the aircraft carrier."

"That's not necessary."

Zhang Zhaoxin waved his hand hastily and refused, "Don't worry for now. The navy already has a 10,000-ton destroyer. It won't be of much use even if we pull the Varyag aircraft carrier up there now."

"Commander, I asked you to come over here to take a look, not to put pressure on you."

In fact, his words were still very tactful, because he really didn't want to embarrass the people at the 702 Research Base.

I don’t want to make Cheng Yiqiang feel guilty.

"that's great……"

Halfway through his words, Cheng Yiqiang's eyes suddenly widened as he realized a serious problem.

"You, what did you just say?"

"Has our 10,000-ton destroyer been launched?"

Cheng Yiqiang excitedly grabbed Zhang Zhaoxin's shoulders with both hands and stared at him intently.

"Yes, our 2-ton destroyer shot down three U-s from the Eagle Tribe in a row during its first sea trial."

"They were all flying at an altitude of 23,000 meters."

"Haha, it is precisely because of this that the situation has evolved to the current point. The Eagle Tribe is enraged."

Hearing these words, Cheng Yiqiang was completely stunned and his head was buzzing.

He led a group of military experts to conduct theoretical research on the Varyag aircraft carrier using the core technical information provided by Su Dingping, and continued to conduct trial and error.

As a result, the aircraft carrier was not launched. Instead, Su Dingping, who was alone in the integrated military factory, led a group of military experts and successfully produced a 10,000-ton destroyer in a short period of time.

Isn’t this speed too terrifying?
A 10,000-ton destroyer is a brand-new concept of warship, and there is no other such ship on the entire blue planet.

The core technology required Su Dingping to lead everyone to explore and develop it bit by bit, but his work efficiency directly crushed their entire 702 base.

He couldn't help but feel fortunate that Su Dingping had produced a 10,000-ton destroyer so quickly to take the place where the aircraft carrier was supposed to be.

Otherwise, the Longxia Navy might suffer this time because of their slow progress.

"Okay, that's all."

Zhang Zhaozhong smiled bitterly, patted Cheng Yiqiang on the shoulder and encouraged him, "You guys keep busy, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he didn't care whether Cheng Yiqiang reacted or not. He took big strides and walked outside. He got in the special car and disappeared into the night.

Cheng Yiqiang didn't come to his senses until he could no longer see the taillights of the special car.

I led a group of people and spent a lot of time here to tackle the continued construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier. I didn't expect that so many things had happened in the outside world.

He knew that Zhang Zhaoxin had saved face for Base 702.

But he is a man who cares about his reputation!
"Once the 052D was launched, it directly took over the East Desert Sea, ending their decades of dominance. I saw it with my own eyes."

"But this time, we can't catch up."

"After all, it's still holding back the navy's progress!"

Cheng Yiqiang let out a long breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp and determined.

After returning to the research institute, he looked at the military experts with an extremely serious expression.

"Starting today, all holidays will be cancelled, even taking time off is not allowed."

"Everyone must work overtime to complete the construction of our Varyag as soon as possible and deliver it to the navy!"

These words were so powerful that they made all the military experts tremble suddenly.

They were all smart people, so they naturally guessed that Dean Cheng Yiqiang had a very unpleasant conversation with Zhang Zhaoxin outside, and even felt hurt.

There have been such experiences in the past, when the Longxia Navy was in great need of equipment and external pressure suddenly increased.

Naturally, they had nothing to object to. The reason why they all gathered here was to dedicate their entire lives to the country and to the military industry, right?
at the same time.

As the warships left the military port and galloped on the sea, they took advantage of the night to rush towards the various exercise areas set up around Longzhua Island.

This is a very large fleet, consisting of 12 052Ds, 9 052Cs, and one 051C. The lineup is very powerful and mighty, cutting through the waves on the sea.

The commotion was so loud that it was naturally noticed by someone.

Of course, this was done on purpose.

We want to tell the world clearly that the Longxia Navy is definitely not just talking, nor will they play tricks, but they will do what they say and put it into practice!

Soon, the relevant news spread rapidly on Blue Star, shocking many tribes.

"The Longxia Navy is mobilized collectively, aiming at Longzhua Island! Now, the pressure is on the chief!"

As soon as this news came out, all the countries on Blue Star were shocked.

The Longxia Navy is actually serious about this.

The tribes that used to shout louder than anyone else were now all silent.

Before anything happened, they all clamored to form a group and re-elect the person in charge of Blue Star.

But now that Long Xia had taken action, everyone was so scared that they shut their mouths and dared not speak anymore.

There's no war, so there's nothing wrong with a little verbal attack. In the past, the Longxia tribe always responded with silence and pretended to be cowards. But this time it's real, so they dare not talk nonsense anymore.

If a war really breaks out, it will cause deaths and cost a lot of money.

However, those tribes that have an alliance with the Eagle Tribe are quietly preparing.

They were afraid that the chief would give an order and force them to take the lead. If they were unprepared at that time, they would be beaten if they rushed forward blindly.

Looking at the many tribes across the entire Blue Star, they all felt a strong sense of crisis as if a dark cloud was looming over the city, threatening to destroy it.

They could almost smell the smell of rain in the air. The rainstorm was already on the way, but they didn't know how severe this storm would be!
The tribes in the Dongzhou Sea area immediately held an online meeting.

Representatives from all the tribes were present. They were very nervous and scared.

The Niying Tribe: "Fuck, the Longxia Tribe is really serious. This is so scary. They are going to fight the Xiongying Tribe head-on."

Feilu Tribe: "Oh my god, this time the Longxia Tribe did not choose to remain silent, but directly chose to fight back. That was the Eagle Tribe, the strongest military tribe on Blue Star."

Iron Monkey Tribe: "It has changed. The Longxia Tribe has really changed. They have dispatched so many warships. Are they trying to block all the entrances and exits to Longzhua Island? They are obviously targeting the visit of the Great Chief."

"Now it all depends on how the chief reacts. If both sides are tough, then we're doomed."

Thousand Buddha Tribe: "This is troublesome. The thing we were most worried about has happened. Longxia is holding a military exercise. Can the chief tolerate it? I just hope the chief will not involve me. I was just talking nonsense before. I was wrong. Please don't mess with me."

Lijiapo Tribe: "Why am I so excited to see the Longxia Tribe doing something real?"

"Now we just have to wait and see what the chief will do next. I'm sure he won't be afraid of what the Longxia tribe will do."

After a while, the Feilu tribe said, "I have an urgent question for you all. What should I do if the Eagle tribe issues an imperial decree? Should I accept it or not?"

There was a moment of collective silence, and no one in the tribe could answer. They only hoped that the chief would not put himself in danger and not do anything stupid.
