I built an armada.

Chapter 590: The Navy is recruiting again, and the Army is jealous
Northwest Nuclear Weapons Test Base, command and control hall.

Mr. Qian kept staring at the changes in data on the big screen and kept making notes.

Just over ten minutes ago, the first test of a modified version of the intercontinental ballistic missile ended in failure.

It was very discouraging that everyone worked so hard for so long and ended up failing.

In response to this, Mr. Qian was not at all frustrated or impatient. Instead, he was very calm and composed, with no expression on his face.

As a senior nuclear weapons researcher, I can say that there is no one who has not experienced failure. It is very unrealistic for every strategic-level weapon to succeed in one go.

He's used to it.

If nuclear weapons were so simple, there wouldn't be only a few countries on the blue planet that possessed them.

After taking a look at the many scientific researchers below, Mr. Qian smiled and comforted them.

"It doesn't matter if we fail. For those of us who are nuclear weapons experts, who hasn't experienced a few failures?"

"No type of intercontinental ballistic missile can be successfully developed in one go. It will take a long time."

"I believe we will be able to tackle an improved version of this model."

The person in charge of the base who was standing in the crowd was extremely moved when he heard these words.

Mr. Qian is already so old and should have retired to enjoy his pension, but he is still fighting on the front line, sharing the joys and sorrows with other scientific researchers, and working together for the improved version of the Thunder III-1 intercontinental ballistic missile.

"Mr. Qian is right. Failure is not terrible. Even if we fail a thousand times, as long as we succeed once, we will win."

"Mr. Qian, you have worked hard."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person in charge of the base hurried forward to support Mr. Qian, looking very respectful.

In his mind, Mr. Qian is like the backbone, the well-deserved soul figure of the nuclear weapons base, and a great man of his generation!
The scientific researchers below were all very moved.

"Mr. Qian, we have sent the Thunder Tri-One to the Navy Integrated Military Factory for a while, but there has been no movement over there. I wonder how far Comrade Su Dingping's research has progressed."

Helping Mr. Qian to sit down, the head of the base mentioned something with some confusion.

"How can there be news of progress so soon? Although we gave him the information, it is not easy to get results."

"It's just a little strange. I left him a hotline and was ready to answer his questions, but he didn't call me at all."

"Could it be that he encountered no obstacles at all?"

"Before, I thought he would call me from time to time, at least once a month, but he hasn't called me yet."

Old Qian was also very curious and had no idea what was going on with Su Dingping.

He even suspected that Su Dingping was too busy with other projects to carry out research on nuclear weapons.

After all, he had also been to the Navy's integrated military factory. Now that the Pangu scientific research base has been established, Su Dingping has become a busier man than him.

He had been preparing for Su Dingping to call him, but no one came, and that call was specially prepared for him.

Even if some leaders of the navy, army and air force wanted to contact him, they had to convey it through the base head.

It can be said that Su Dingping is a special case.

Because in Qian's mind, he has regarded Su Dingping as his successor, and only Su Dingping can take on the responsibility of future scientific research.

Although he had never met Su Dingping, the head of the base had heard of some of Su Dingping's deeds and knew that he was a rare top talent.

If it weren't for some reasons, he would have wanted to meet Su Dingping in person.

"Mr. Qian, even if Comrade Su Dingping is a genius, it will probably take him some time to understand the core technology of nuclear weapons."

"I heard before that he didn't know much about nuclear weapons. Now he's suddenly studying nuclear weapons. That requires extraordinary talent, not just reading nuclear weapon information. Maybe he's too busy."

"In terms of knowledge reserves, the military experts in our base are no worse than anyone else, but in the final analysis, they are still a little lacking in talent."

Mr. Qian strongly agrees with this.

You can go a long way with hard work alone, and diligence can make up for lack of talent.

However, efforts without talent are ultimately limited, and will be restricted by many things and unable to truly move forward and further deepen scientific research!
In Su Dingping, he saw extraordinary talent, and he was even more hardworking than those top talents. Naturally, he hoped that Su Dingping could go further, not only surpass himself, but also leave him far behind!

"Let's wait and see. We can't be too anxious."

After thinking for a moment, Mr. Qian said casually, and then he began to look at the key data and made statistics.

The data statistics and zero analysis after each launch failure is a huge project that requires a lot of manpower and material resources.

They needed to work all night without any rest, and all the R&D personnel in the entire base were mobilized.

Of course, Mr. Qian didn't know that there were two reasons why Su Dingping did not encounter any problems with the Thunder-31 intercontinental ballistic missile.

First, Su Dingping is still in the stage of analyzing the technology.

Second, through in-depth research on the information sent by Mr. Qian, he has found a new way and finally found the key to using ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers, taking a very important step in the field of ballistic missiles.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

The navy, army and air force of the Longxia tribe are steadily and rapidly advancing reforms in accordance with the 'new three-step strategy'.

At the same time, two 052D ships from a new batch and a -ton destroyer were launched one after another, maintaining this rhythm, which is very stable.

According to statistics from the Navy Department, there are currently 26 052D ships in service, and 8 -ton destroyers!
It can be said that the navy has really stood up and is constantly moving towards becoming a powerful navy, with no intention of stopping.

It can be said that today's navy has no rivals in the entire Dongzhou waters!
Even if we look at the entire Blue Star, it is able to compete for the top three. Anyone who disagrees can come and challenge us. It all depends on whether the Longxia Navy will wipe you out. That's it.

Even if the Gallic tribe had two aircraft carriers, they would not be able to fight!
You know, there are 8 -ton destroyers alone, which is a ferocious existence that can define the fourth-generation missile destroyer of Blue Planet.

Once equipped with the anti-ship ballistic missiles that Su Dingping was developing, let alone two aircraft carriers, even if all the naval forces of the Gaul tribe were pressed, the final outcome would probably be annihilation. With the rapid expansion of the scale of advanced naval ships, a new problem has also arisen: the navy is increasingly short of manpower.

In fact, it is mainly because a large number of naval soldiers have been invested in places like the Navy's integrated military factories and the Pangu scientific research base, which has squeezed the already limited number of naval soldiers.

26 Type 052Ds, 8 -ton destroyers, nuclear submarines, a large number of missile frigates, and various other auxiliary ships all require a large number of naval soldiers.

With the rapid development of the navy, manpower is becoming increasingly scarce!
If personnel are not replenished in a timely manner, there will be serious problems in the navy's logistical support, which will ultimately restrict the generation of navy combat effectiveness.

Northern Fleet, inside the headquarters base office.

Looking at the reports sent over, the number of people in shortage has reached an alarming level, which makes Xu Dongguo excited but also very troubled.

The navy would have the size it has today, something we could never have imagined or envisioned before.

But today, we are troubled by the shortage of manpower and there is a shortage of people everywhere!

The newly built naval base needs manpower, the logistics support department needs it, and even some naval academies and naval agencies are short of manpower.

There is a shortage of manpower throughout almost the entire navy.

"We must replenish our staff as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

After reading all the information, Xu Dongguo made a decision immediately.

The guard was called over and told some things. Not long after, Zhang Zhaoxin was taken to the office.

"Reporting to the commander, Zhang Zhaoxin has arrived to report, please give instructions."

Xu Dongguo nodded with satisfaction: "You came just in time. I have something very important that I need you to do right away."

"Chief, please give me your orders."

Zhang Zhaoxin said quickly.

"Our navy urgently needs to recruit a group of new people. It is imminent." Xu Dongguo ordered very seriously.

When Zhang Zhaoxin heard that the navy was going to expand its enrollment again, he was very excited and immediately became interested.

He knew very well that this meant that he would be able to come to the limelight again and let the national audience see him. This was a great opportunity to show off, so he naturally could not miss it, and he had to do it well like the previous two times!

Soon, the news about the navy's expansion spread quickly and spread throughout society.

That night, this topic became very hot on the Tiexue Forum, and countless military fans and netizens gathered here to discuss it crazily.

"Oh my god, the Navy is going to expand its enrollment again? How long has it been? It's very rare to push forward the second expansion in such a short period of time."

"I am also very excited. This only shows that our navy is developing rapidly, which has caused a shortage of personnel and requires expansion. In my opinion, this is a great thing and I am happy to see it happen."

"By the way, it seems that neither the army nor the air force has expanded its recruitment. According to the theory above, is it too slow to develop? Can't it catch up with the speed of the navy's development?"

"For this reason, I have to feel sorry for the Army and Air Force for three seconds. I hope they can immediately stand up and recruit more people, otherwise there won't be enough."

In the blink of an eye, the direction of discussion among military fans has changed.

"In the previous two recruitments, new equipment was revealed. Will new warships be unveiled this time? I'm really looking forward to it."

"That's right. We have shown off every time. No matter what, we should show off this time. Last time, we defined the third-generation guided missile destroyer and led the trend of Blue Planet. It is a 10,000-ton destroyer. What a domineering existence!"

"Fuck, a 10,000-ton destroyer has become a cow lady. Why do I feel like our military fans are all pigs? They want the navy to unveil new weapons and equipment. This is going to drive the navy crazy."

"Will the navy just swear? Damn it! Doesn't it take time to develop equipment? Do you really think we are a machine for building new warships? We can launch new warships as soon as we say we will!"

"You are so impatient. I have to say that our navy has indeed made rapid progress in recent years, completely beyond everyone's expectations. It is really amazing."

"Don't worry about whether the navy has any new equipment. I feel that the 052D and the -ton destroyers are very powerful. They are definitely the ceiling of Blue Planet's combat power. No matter what, I must sign up for the navy and go today."

"I'm finally old enough. I have to sign up to join the navy this year. I want to control the most advanced warships to sail across the ocean and kill those villains. It would be best if I could conquer Kyoto!"

The enthusiasm of military fans, especially college students who are in their graduation season, to sign up is quite high.

The navy is a high-tech military branch, and many of these college students are engineering students. If they are supplemented with more, the training time will definitely be shortened and combat effectiveness will be quickly formed.

And they all realized that as the navy's strength grows, the challenges they encounter will become more and more, and the opportunities to achieve success will increase accordingly.

In recent times, the navy has to go out to fight a war almost every now and then. If they really encounter an enemy, wouldn’t they win military medals and bring honor to the family?

Compared with the Army and the Air Force, there are more opportunities like this.

This can be seen from the fact that in recent times, the proportion of navy ranks in military rank promotions has been increasing.

Soon the news that the navy was recruiting again spread to the army.

Deng Zhenhua, the army chief at the army headquarters, looked very cold after hearing the report from his subordinates and did not say a word for a long time.

After a long while, he started to curse inwardly in dissatisfaction.

"Old Liu, Old Liu, you are so immoral! You are recruiting students again!"

"You're recruiting students again after such a short time. I'm really upset with you."

"Hey, the Navy is really lucky. It's a good time."

What he meant was, of course, that the navy secretly poached Su Dingping, and treated him like a treasure, keeping a close eye on him, fearing that someone else would snatch him away and not return him.

"If Dingping had been recruited by our army, we would have recruited him every now and then, as if everyone would do the same."

"Can't you just do the recruitment secretly? Why do you have to do it so high-profile, as if everyone in the world knows about it? It will make the army lose face."

"Old Liu, you really have no moral principles at all!"
