I built an armada.

Chapter 453: I will sell the aircraft carrier regardless of martial ethics
"Dingping, don't be so modest. Without those advanced warships, our navy would have to endure so much humiliation."

"Yes, the successful resolution of this maritime dispute was entirely due to the new warships you built. You have made a great contribution!"

"You deserve all of this. Without you, our navy wouldn't be as glorious as it is today."

Qian Wenbing, Xiao Chongjun and other leaders spoke up one after another and gave Su Dingping approving looks.

They all knew that Su Dingping had made enormous contributions to the navy and naturally had the greatest merit. Anyone who knew the inside story, no matter what level, would recognize it from the bottom of their hearts!
Liu Huaming took over the conversation, sighed helplessly and said: "You have made great contributions, and we all recognize that."

"Alas, it's a pity that the general public doesn't know about this. Due to various factors, they can't know about this either. You are destined to become an unknown hero. This is really unfair to you."

As someone who has experienced this, he naturally knows what young people are thinking, and that they all want to become famous as soon as possible.

He believed that Su Dingping in front of him was the same, but as a military worker, once he entered this industry, he was destined to hide his identity and forge swords for the country!
This is undoubtedly unfair, but this is the reality.

There are powerful enemies all around, and outside there is the biggest gangster and troublemaker on Blue Star. They have been eyeing the Longxia tribe and are even slaughtering scientists at the strategic level.

But there are so many colonists in the country, and the public intellectuals are working hard for them!
Once it is made public, Su Dingping's safety will definitely be threatened.

Hearing this, Su Dingping breathed a sigh of relief.

"Commander, you scared me. I thought something happened."

Su Dingping then said with a serious face, "Work hard and forge swords for the country, that's what we should do!"

"Someone has to do it, so why can't that person be me?"

"Just like Mr. Qian, who has been forging swords for the country for decades, I admire him very much."

"So, Chief, there's no need to speak up for me. I don't care about those false reputations. I think it's better to be pure."

Hearing this, the leaders looked strange, but also showed a little more appreciation.

In fact, they all could hear that what Su Dingping said was from his heart and he did so as well. However, they, the leaders, could not just laugh it off. Instead, they had to take it more seriously.

"You kid."

Liu Huaming was quite moved. He patted Su Dingping on the shoulder with his broad palm and said seriously, "Don't worry. There will be a day in the future when your name will be known to everyone."

"The people of Longxia will always remember you. You are our Longxia's great hero!"

Then, he suddenly changed the subject.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. The USS Gabbert is almost here. Let's go over and take a look."

Next, Su Dingping followed Liu Huaming and got on a special car heading to the northern naval base.

After the USS Gabbert is pulled back, it will dock here.

As for the subsequent maintenance and restoration of its combat capability, they will be carried out in full swing after the evaluation.

Of course, if the customer needs it, it will be upgraded and modified to have stronger combat capabilities, and its performance in all aspects will far exceed that of the past.

Su Dingping definitely has the strength and ability to do it.

The reason for doing all this is, of course, to make more money!
Along the way, Xu Dongguo and other leaders expressed their deep emotion.

The aircraft carrier seized from the Donghuanghai was upgraded and sold to an oil-rich country in the central region. Now another one has been seized and will be sold.

In contrast, the Longxia Navy does not have a single aircraft carrier, and the only one, the Varyag, is still in the dock waiting for further construction.

The scientific research speed of Base 702 is too slow, which has made some naval leaders dissatisfied.

If all the integrated military factories were as efficient as Su Dingping, the navy would not be so miserable, having to worry about the opponent's carrier-based fighter jets all the time when fighting the enemy.

Fortunately, the ships developed by Su Dingping all have super strong air defense capabilities.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say this. We don't even know when our own aircraft carrier will be launched, but we have already seized two light aircraft carriers, and we are going to sell them to other countries."

"Alas, there is nothing we can do about it. The two captured aircraft carriers do not meet our strategic needs. Their greatest use is to sell them to earn more military funds."

"In Dingping's words, this is called recycling waste and recovering military funds. If we really use it ourselves, it will become useless and occupy military funds. This is called using someone else's aircraft carrier to do your own business."

"If one day we seize the Eagle Tribe's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, I will wake up laughing in my dreams, hahahaha."

At the end of his speech, Qian Wenbing himself laughed, and his laughter was hearty and cheerful.

Such a scene can only be imagined, it is difficult to realize.

Even if they really wanted to rob it, they would have to face the siege of 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle groups of the Eagle Tribe. By that time, even if they robbed a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Eagle Tribe, it would not be useful.

And he's a troublemaker, so the result would be more trouble than gain.

As for the Thousand Buddha Tribe and the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force, they were just robbed with their limited strength. Anyway, almost all of their main naval warships had been destroyed, and the remaining ships had no power to fight at all.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about their revenge.

It is different if you want to seize the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier. After all, they have dominated Blue Star for such a long time and have accumulated very strong combat power. If you want to rob them, you must defeat the overlord of Blue Star in one go.

"What you said about not being in a hurry is not something that should be dealt with right now. We need to take it step by step with our feet on the ground."

After glancing at Qian Wenbing, Liu Huaming took over the conversation and spoke seriously.

"At present, our navy has the strength to go beyond the waters of Dongzhou and break through the first island chain. Sooner or later, our Sea Lions will compete with the Eagle Tribe Navy."

"By that time, they had aircraft carriers, and so did we, and ours were more advanced."

According to the three-step naval strategy formulated by Su Dingping, the third step will come after the second step. At that time, the navy will be invincible on the blue planet.

The second step now is naturally full of dangers and unknowns, and they need to be more cautious and act decisively when it is time to do so!

Su Dingping listened silently, but secretly said in his heart: According to the current speed of development, this day will not be too far away.

He knew very well that only when the Longxia Navy became strong, his own sea area would not be invaded by the enemy unscrupulously, and he could drive the enemy away far away, making them dare not even have the ambition to covet the Longxia sea area!
Not long after, the special car drove into the military port terminal. The door opened and a group of people got out of the car one after another.

Standing on the dock, the USS Gabbert, which was slowly being towed by a tugboat, had appeared in everyone's sight and was getting bigger and bigger.

Just wait another half an hour and the light aircraft carrier will dock at the dock with the help of the staff.

While walking towards the dock, Liu Huaming asked Su Dingping: "Dingping, what is your attitude towards the follow-up matters?"

Although Su Dingping is still only a colonel, Liu Huaming and others no longer regard him as a colonel, but rather as a person of the same level and are more willing to have equal dialogue with him.

In recent years, whenever there is a major event, Su Dingping's ideas always give them great inspiration.

In the past, everyone was hesitant and unable to let go, but after one event after another, their mindsets became more open and they dared to think boldly.

And all of this was brought by Su Dingping, so these leaders naturally attached great importance to it.

"The chief is talking about the tribes involved in this incident, right?"

Su Dingping understood it almost immediately and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, Dingping still understands us."

Liu Huaming immediately laughed, "Come, tell me what you think." Su Dingping nodded, and then said, "The joint fleet of the three tribes was completely annihilated. This is the price they should pay for invading our waters."

"But price is price, and justice is justice."

Having said that, Su Dingping paused slightly and looked at the USS Gabbert aircraft carrier that was slowly approaching in the distance.

"We have already paid the price, now it's time for us to seek justice!"

"We can't let someone break into our house for no reason. Why don't we ask them for some compensation?"

Several leaders nodded with satisfaction. This time Su Dingping thought the same thing as them.

In the past, they might not have had such thoughts, but now after experiencing a series of events, everyone’s mentality has changed, and the way they do things has also changed accordingly.

"By the way, I heard that the White Elephant Tribe and the Iron Monkey Tribe have deployed troops at the border before, right? Aren't they just waiting to attack us?"

"Should we seek justice from them as well?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Huaming and several other leaders looked surprised.

They really hadn't thought of this, nor did they think about it that way, thinking that the matter would be over once the other side withdrew its troops.

"The other party is just Chen Bing, and he didn't do anything too outrageous. If we rashly ask for justice, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

"Will this make us look like a great power?"

Liu Huaming frowned and asked a series of questions, which was also their concern.

The Longxia tribe has always presented itself to the world on the international stage as a peace-loving, peace-maintaining, and neighborly people. If it were to suddenly do this, it would inevitably have a negative impact.

"You are worrying too much, Chief. We are just going to seek justice, not to collect a debt from them."

Su Dingping smiled slightly, "When the time comes, we will drive the fleet to their waters and stop there to see if they will give us an explanation."

Liu Huaming and other leaders suddenly realized and felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so. It was equivalent to giving those tribes a warning to prevent them from standing on the wrong side and following suit in the future.

"What about the Eagle Tribe?"

At this time, another leader started asking questions.

"We have already humiliated the Eagle Tribe. This is enough."

"For the Eagle Tribe, the boss's reputation is more important than anything else. This alone means more than us sweeping the combined fleets of the three tribes!"

"This will greatly help to enhance our international status and influence."

Several people looked at each other, and all expressed their agreement with Su Dingping's words.

After a brief pause and a sip of water to moisten his throat, Su Dingping continued speaking.

"The three tribes' navies had a direct conflict with us, so we must make every compensation we deserve."

"As for the White Elephant Tribe and the Iron Monkey Tribe, it is indeed inappropriate to ask for compensation, but we can find a more tactful way to do it."

Having said this, he paused, which aroused the curiosity of several leaders.

"Dingping, what method do you mean?"

Xu Dongguo asked curiously, saying that he had no idea what it meant.

"Yes, Dingping, please stop keeping us in suspense."

"We are all waiting for your opinion. If it weren't for your suggestion before, we wouldn't be so confident."

"It's up to you now, Dingping."

Several leaders spoke one after another, looking at Su Dingping eagerly, full of anticipation.

"Chief, I think we should bring back the remains of the martyrs from those two tribes who were buried in foreign lands, so that they can rest in peace in our own homes."

"Isn't this better than asking them for compensation?"

Su Dingping didn't keep the secret any longer and simply spoke out all his thoughts.

Upon hearing this, several leaders fell silent.

They always thought about bringing back the remains of the martyrs buried in foreign lands, but the time was never ripe.

And the current opportunity seems just right.

Liu Huaming made the decision immediately.

"Okay! Let's do it then!"

"Once we take over Dragon Claw Island, we will give them everything they need!"

Want to take over Dragon Claw Island?

Su Dingping looked surprised and asked in shock, "Have the leaders agreed?"

Liu Huaming nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement.

Su Dingping was shocked.

He just mentioned it casually at the beginning, just giving a suggestion, and did not say anything about the feasibility of implementing this suggestion.

Suggestions are suggestions. After all, there have been too many people who have made similar suggestions over the years. It doesn't matter if he is more or less.

But he never expected that the higher-ups would actually agree.

Su Dingping would not think that his reputation was so great that even the leaders above him would adopt his suggestions. It was simply a coincidence.

Liu Huaming then sighed, "When Xue Shuai heard your suggestion, he thought about it carefully and held an internal meeting to discuss it. He felt it was quite appropriate and negotiated with the higher-ups."

"As for how they fought for it, we don't know, but we didn't expect that the higher-ups would agree to it."

Upon hearing this, Su Dingping was immediately confused.

Shit, it actually has something to do with me!

Liu Huaming continued.

"Of course, there is a prerequisite for the higher-ups to agree, and that is that our navy wins a great victory! Otherwise, there is no point in discussing anything."

"Fortunately, our navy did not disappoint them and achieved an impressive victory!"

"Naturally, the higher-ups agreed to our plan to implement it in one go."

"The time is ripe now. All departments are ready. Now we just have to wait for the right time to take down the rebellious island!"

Su Dingping was still very excited when he heard this, and asked quickly: "When is the time?"
