I built an armada.

Chapter 488: The Longxia Navy is getting stronger and stronger, and the tribes are terrified

"Captain, the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier battle group has begun to retreat."

In the main control room of Ship 123, the radar monitor discovered the latest situation and quickly reported it.

Zhou Qinglei nodded slightly and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. They finally retreated.

In fact, this deterrence carries a very high risk.

After all, half of the combat force has been dispatched. Once a conflict breaks out, they will be surrounded by the East Wilderness Maritime Self-Defense Force, the Air Self-Defense Force, and the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet, which will be a big trouble.

By that time, it would be hard to say how many of the 16 warships would survive.

Without a 10,000-ton destroyer, Zhou Qinglei was still very nervous facing the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier battle group alone.

After all, they were located at the doorstep of the Donghuang Tribe, and the other side had all the advantages of fighting at home. Both the troops and the reinforcements arrived very quickly and were very sufficient.

"It seems that the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier battle group has given up this mission."

The deputy captain at the side was extremely thankful and said, "Captain, it's a good thing that we implemented the second plan in time. If we were surrounded, we would be in big trouble."

"Yes. The combat capability of a 10,000-ton destroyer is too important for us."

Zhou Qinglei took a deep breath and said expectantly, "I wonder when the next wave of 10,000-ton destroyers will be able to be launched."

"This time, I helped Chief Architect Su get so much military funds, which should be enough to build several 10,000-ton destroyers."

When they heard about the 10,000-ton destroyer, everyone in the main control room showed excitement.

The combat capability displayed by the 10,000-ton destroyer left such a deep impression on them that Zhou Qinglei now dreams of becoming the captain of a 10,000-ton destroyer.

In the sea and air battle half a month ago, if it were not for the powerful new generation of hypersonic air defense missiles equipped on the 10,000-ton destroyer, facing such huge air support, the result would probably have been very bad.

Those cutting-edge air defense missiles and the ship's super-strong detection and target acquisition capabilities have almost covered a large number of bombers, as well as fighter jets with very strong maneuverability, which has greatly reduced the pressure on the 052Ds participating in the war.

Before, they thought that no matter how powerful a 052-ton destroyer was, how much stronger could it be than the D?
After that battle, their impression was completely refreshed.

The 10,000-ton destroyer is truly a powerful one. It is no exaggeration to call it the strongest warship on the sea of ​​​​Blue Star.

If such 10,000-ton destroyers were deployed in the navy, and more than a dozen such warships were sent out to cruise the four oceans, what a spectacular scene it would be!
What is a grand show? This is it!
Everything was settled, and Zhou Qinglei immediately ordered: "The goal of this visit to the East Desert Tribe has been basically achieved."

"We can go home."

Everyone cheered excitedly: "Go home, go home!"

The friendly visiting fleet crossed the maritime boundary line and sailed into the eastern waters in a mighty manner.

The news that the fleet had returned to the eastern waters was immediately transmitted to the Navy Headquarters military base.

Within the headquarters.

Zhang Zhaoxin came in with the latest information, and after getting the nod, he began to talk: "We have accomplished the mission of warning the East Desert Tribe during this visit... In the end, we managed to escape unscathed."

After listening, Liu Huaming nodded with satisfaction.

"Very good. It seems that Zhou Qinglei is becoming more and more capable of taking charge."

Hearing this, Xu Dongguo and several other leaders laughed and expressed their opinions.

"Zhou Qinglei has indeed been trained and is a promising talent. He has withstood the test of the battlefield and transformed into a truly qualified frontline commander."

"Not only him, but also some captains like Cao Youren have grown up. They are all compound commanders who have experienced several actual sea battles and are able to make plans before a battle. They are all valuable talents of our navy."

"As I said before, the battlefield is the best place to hone soldiers and train talents. Just training in academies without experiencing actual combat is still a little lacking."

"Commander, we still need to speed up the training of enough talents. If we can't produce enough talents for the subsequent mass launch of the 052D and -ton destroyers, and if the news gets to the army and the air force, they will definitely laugh at us to death."

"Dingping said before that talent cultivation must come first. We can't let equipment wait for talent. In the future, there will be more and more advanced warships and the situation will become more and more complicated. We will need more outstanding talents."

"We must train these talents vigorously. Otherwise, if they are not able to fully utilize the equipment's combat capabilities due to nervousness when they are on the battlefield, it will not only be embarrassing, but will also have terrible consequences and may even put their lives at risk!"

"No matter how advanced a warship is, it still needs people to operate it. If the psychological quality is not good enough, it will be useless!"

During the discussion, several leaders once again raised the critical issue of talent cultivation, which has even become imminent.

The operators are still easy to compensate. The key is talents at the captain level. They are the front-line commanders who directly face the battlefield environment.

Although there were ways to train talents before, with the increase of new equipment and the complexity of the battlefield environment, the requirements for talent quality are getting higher and higher.

"When you talk about talents, I remembered something that must be resolved now."

"There's news from Dingping that some technical adjustments to the Guangfu will be completed within three or four days before it is officially delivered to the Navy. The original acting captain and other crew members will all be withdrawn to the integrated military factory to continue their original work."

"Therefore, we must select a group of people to take over the installation."

"Tell me, who is the best person to send?"

That’s right, now the problem they have to solve is who to send to pick up the ship.

Those 051C ships are about to be retired from service, which will vacate a group of personnel and many captains, and they all need to be assigned to new positions.

In addition to selling them, a few will be arranged to go to relevant colleges to provide students and professors with research and learning.

"Zhou Qinglei, I think he's a good choice. A 10,000-ton destroyer needs someone like him to operate it. Some time ago, he expressed his intention to work on the Guangfu."

"By the way, Zhou Qinglei and Ding Ping have a good relationship. The two have fought side by side before. It would be a good idea to let him lead the team to pick up the ship."

"I still support him. In that case, his 123 ship will have to be handed over to other people to operate. It just so happens that a group of people from the 051C are going there."

"I think Zhou Qinglei is still capable of doing this. I've met him many times and he has developed the ability to be independent. Let's choose him."

After discussion among several leaders, they almost unanimously agreed that Zhou Qinglei should be elected as the first captain of the 10,000-ton destroyer "Guangfu".

"Since you all recognize him, when he comes back, let Zhou Qinglei lead the team to pick up the ship."

Liu Huaming pondered for a moment and made the final decision, "Zhang Zhaoxin, tell Zhou Qinglei to get ready."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhaoxin immediately took the order and left.

After completing the mission and returning to the northern naval base, Zhou Qinglei learned that he had been removed from the position of captain of Ship 123 and that other transferred captains would continue to be in charge of the work.

He also had other tasks to arrange, so he was really reluctant to let her go.

He has been commanding Ship 123 for a long time, from the time he took over the ship until now. He has experienced many naval battles, which have brought him unprecedented victories and merits.

To be honest, it would be a joke to say that I have any feelings for this ship.

But now that he is about to take on a new position, he naturally has to make a choice.

Zhou Qinglei and a group of sailors who had also received orders stood in a neat line on the dock, looking at the giant ship with reluctance written all over their faces.

Looking back on the past journey, they are filled with emotion, which embodies too many of their emotions.

Before disembarking, each of them wiped the ship several times, with more care and true emotion than any previous maintenance.

Many people even shed tears. This battleship was like their brother. It accompanied them through life and death and won many battles with them!

"I'm really reluctant to leave so suddenly." Zhou Qinglei sighed as he looked at the warships anchored in the port.

"Captain, we are just as reluctant as you are. She followed us through the battles, and the first battle was against the Eastern Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force. She gradually brought down the little bully. She also witnessed our navy's transformation from weak to strong, and became a great power in the eyes of the surrounding tribes."

The deputy captain said, "The 052D is still very strong in our battle sequence. I hope the subsequent ship receiving personnel can continue to exert its combat effectiveness."

Zhou Qinglei nodded: "I have already explained this to Captain Zhao. He will definitely take good care of this ship and continue to exert its due combat effectiveness."

"Okay, I won't say any more."

"Everyone, let's say goodbye to our once close comrades."

"salute!"

As the order was given, all the crew members saluted in unison, bidding their final farewell to the ship.

This was the last thing they could do.

Salute completed.

The deputy captain spoke again: "What are we going to do next?"

Zhou Qinglei shook his head gently: "I don't know for now. No matter what, let's take it one step at a time. It's good to rest for a few days. You all have followed me all over the country, so it's time to rest up."

After saying this, he glanced at everyone and could naturally see the confusion on their faces.

To be honest, he didn't know what to do next. After docking at the pier, they began to maintain the ship and handed it over to the personnel who came to pick up the ship.

But at this moment, the communications personnel ran over.

"Captain, secret message."

After that, he handed the document to Zhou Qinglei.

"Order, with the approval of the chief, Zhou Qinglei and all the sailors from the original 123rd ship will go to the integrated military factory to pick up the Guangfu ship. Zhou Qinglei will be the first captain of the ship!"

"The rest of the crew will perform their duties."

"After receiving the order, set off immediately without delay."

After reading the above content, Zhou Qinglei, who was originally a little sad, was completely stunned.

Damn it.

Isn't this surprise a little too sudden?

The captain of the 10,000-ton destroyer that he had always dreamed of would actually fall into his lap?

It's a little hard to believe.

"Congratulations, Captain."

"This is good news."

The deputy captain came over to take a look, suppressed his inner ecstasy, and quickly congratulated.

"Hahaha, this is indeed good news."

Zhou Qinglei came back to his senses with a look of surprise on his face.

While the sailors were confused, Zhou Qinglei turned around and looked at the crew members under his command.

"The bad news is, your vacation is over."

"The good news is that you will come with me to the integrated military factory to pick up the Guangfu. From now on, you will be like me, driving our tribe's first 10,000-ton destroyer across the ocean."

Zhou Qinglei suppressed his inner excitement and announced loudly.

The crew members were stunned at first, and then their eyes flashed with excitement. Didn't they also want to control a 10,000-ton destroyer?

"All of them."

“Organize pedaling.”

Glancing at the bus that had already parked at the dock not far away, Zhou Qinglei didn't give anyone a chance to think and gave the order directly.

As the group of sailors he brought with him, he naturally understood the nature of these people.

On the other hand, after the fleet left the Donghuang tribe, the news that the Donghuang tribe was attacked by missiles in the middle of the night quickly spread on Blue Star.

The Dongzhou sea area was the first to receive the relevant news, and many tribes could not help but feel a sense of fear.

The Niying tribe: "I was scared to death! The Longxia tribe is really ruthless. I thought they were just going to block the door, but they put on a fireworks show. Oh my god, they are so cruel."

Philippine Tribe: "I have to be thankful. I think I've made a profit by giving in. It's better than being attacked by missiles."

Thousand Buddha Tribe: "It seems that you must not speak too loudly to the Longxia Tribe in the future. Don't provoke them again. It's better to be obedient in the future."

Many tribes on Blue Star were frightened by the madness of the Longxia Navy, forcing them to look at it differently.

I originally thought it was just a pure threat to block the door, but I didn't expect the Longxia Navy to start fighting directly.

How scary that would be.

Part-time job is more powerful than other powerful countries!
The king of sausages!

White Bear Tribe, Ke Palace.

Pushkin, who was sitting in the office, received relevant information from Boris and fell into silence.

He didn't say a word for a long time. He suddenly discovered that the neighbor's navy was becoming stronger and stronger, and its performance was becoming more and more aggressive, especially when dealing with the people of Donghuang.

In fact, he is still quite conflicted.

The people of Donghuang also have disputes over interests with them, and there is a possibility of armed conflict between the two tribes.

The Longxia tribe is now stronger and he is very happy that they can attack the Donghuang tribe from time to time.

In this way, the Donghuang tribe would have no way to continue jumping around, distracting their attention and avoiding the loss of the central interests.

He was able to concentrate on matters related to Europe and the central region and continue to manage these two areas.

But with such a powerful neighbor around them, they can't do many things.

"It seems that we can only take one step at a time."

After a long silence, Pushkin said secretly in his heart.

On the other side, the Eagle Tribe, the Black Palace.

The intelligence personnel sent the latest information here. After reading it, the chief immediately became angry.

But he now knows what is important and what is not, and what's more, the matter is already a fait accompli and there is no way to change anything.

Due to the urgent situation in the central region and the Blue Star Alliance meeting to be held tomorrow, he had to make corresponding concessions.
