Chapter 70 Is such an advanced warship ours?
In the office, Xu Dongguo is studying which warships should be dispatched for the military training on the 23rd next month.
After careful study, he reluctantly discovered that if Su Dingping's 052 was not improved before the 23rd, the entire Northern Fleet would only be able to fight with two 053H3 frigates.
The reason why the navy was weak before was not only the gap between it and modern warships, but also the number!
The three major fleets combined cannot even manage ten decent warships.
Three 052 destroyers, one 051B, five 053H3 frigates, and the others are older warships.
For example, the Luda-class 051 and the Yingtan were retired more than ten years ago because of their age, and some are still on the verge of retirement. As for small ships such as missile boats, they are called Not a true warship.
There are 9 ships in total. The third ship 052 was only put into service this year, and the 051B was completed in the second half of last year. Before last year, there would have been only 7 decent warships with a group of small Karami. It can be seen that when land artillery was put on the ship four years ago, they were really prepared to die.
Currently, each of the three major fleets has a 052 destroyer, the Eastern Fleet has a 956E, and the Southern Fleet has a 956E. The ownership of the newly finalized 051C has not yet been determined.
Sending the 053H3 frigate onto the field will, to put it bluntly, give you points directly.
Under this circumstance, Xu Dongguo had to consider whether to apply for the right to use the 051C destroyer.
Apply now and practice for a while. At least you can make an appearance during the training of the three major fleets.
It is not that he doubts Su Dingping's ability, he is just worried that the improved 052 will not be able to be tested in the water before March 23.
More than half a month has passed since New Year's Eve, and he has not received a second call from Sun Yongguo.
Picking up the phone, he was about to call to inquire about Sun Yongguo's progress, but after thinking about it, he put the phone down.
He was worried that his urging would put too much pressure on Su Dingping, causing the improvement of 052 not to achieve the intended effect. And he also understands that improving warships is a delicate job, and the more you push it, the easier it is to cause trouble.
After thinking for a while, he decided to apply to Liu Huaming for the right to use 051C.
Picked up the phone and before dialing, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Chief, Dean Sun is here."
As soon as he heard that Sun Yongguo was coming, Xu Dongguo said quickly: "Quick, let him come in directly."
Soon, Sun Yongguo opened the door and walked in.
The first time he saw Sun Yongguo, Xu Dongguo noticed that he looked more haggard than last time.
He was very lucky that he had never rushed them before. Otherwise, whether the Sun Yongguo we saw today would be able to walk in with such strides is a question.
"Comrade Yongguo, we have worked hard for you in recent times."
"Chief, we are not working hard." The conversation changed and Sun Yongguo said: "It is really hard in Dingping. Lost a lot of weight.”
Xu Dong said earnestly in Mandarin: "I told you not to work so hard, not to be so anxious and take your time, but you didn't listen to any of them! Is our Navy anxious now? 956E is decent, and 051C is not bad either. We are not in a hurry!"< br>
Sun Yongguo smiled and did not dwell on this issue.
"Chief, I am here to report to you the progress of my work."
As he said that, Sun Yongguo handed over the work progress form for the recent period.
Xu Dongguo looked at the work progress table, his expression gradually becoming serious.
There is no mention between the lines of how everyone worked, but instead lists some of the new technological achievements that have been tackled during this period.
Looking at the words alone, Xu Dongguo can see that once the 052 is successfully improved, its combat level will definitely not be bad.
"How long will it take to complete?"
After thinking about it, Sun Yongguo said: "If everything goes well, there will be no problem in launching the water test at the end of March."
The end of March ?
It would be great if we could complete the water test before the 23rd.
This thought flashed past, and Xu Dongguo looked as usual and said: "Don't be anxious, you guys take your time and try to ensure the improved combat level of 052."
"By the way, the military expenses are still there. Is it enough? If not, hurry up and apply. I will approve it as soon as possible."
"Chief, when it comes to military expenses..."
When he heard this, Xu Dongguo suddenly felt that he could finally do it. A little help.
"As much as you need, just ask! This year's military expenditure has just come down, so we have enough!"
"I'm not the chief. The military expenditure only cost more than 20 million." Sun Yongguo looked a little weird.
Xu Dongguo looked at the projects on the work progress list with disbelief.
It only took more than 20 million to complete the research, development and improvement of so many advanced technologies?
How is that possible!
I wouldn’t be surprised if you said three to five billion!
Sun Yongguo said helplessly.
"Chief, when the 052 improvement was initially finalized, Dingping said that more than 50 million yuan could be used to completely improve the 052 and pass it! At first, none of us believed it, and we even wanted to secretly apply for a military fund. Wait, it was the comrades of workers and peasants who stopped us, fearing that the morale of the army would be shaken."
"After all this time, only half of the military expenditure has been used! From beginning to end, every step has been done without any mistakes! ——Pass it!”
“Every time Comrade Guangjun and I mentioned this, we were filled with emotion.”
After a pause, Sun Yongguo added another sentence.
"As the workers and peasants comrades said, Comrade Dingping is a man who can create miracles!"
His eyes fell on the work progress table again, and Xu Dongguo's heart was up and down.
Dingping is really the treasure of my navy!
"By the way, Chief, Dingping asked me to apply for a batch of missiles for improvement! I never had time before, so I postponed it until today."
With that said, Sun Yongguo handed over the application form.
The application form lists the required quantities of YJ-801, Haihongqi-801 and torpedoes.
Xu Dongguo just glanced at it and said bluntly: "Approved! I will have someone send it over after a while."
"It's the chief!"
"There is nothing else to do. ?”
"There is no chief."
"As I said, take your time, we are not in a hurry!"
"It's the chief!" After saying that, Sun Yongguo left here in a hurry. Looking at Sun Yongguo's leaving figure and looking at the two documents on the table, Xu Dongguo had mixed feelings in his heart.
I want to urge you, but I am too embarrassed to do so.
If there is an invasion due to foreign enemies, he will definitely rush. But just to rush to participate in the military training next month, he couldn't even cross that threshold in his heart.
What if such a push leads to the unsatisfactory improvement of 052, and he will not be able to face those military experts who have worked hard to overcome difficulties.
Thinking of this, he said helplessly to himself.
"Forget it, just apply for 051C. I will be at the bottom in this training, no matter what happens, I can't be too embarrassed."
As soon as the idea came to mind, Xiao Chongjun called.
"Lao Xu, I heard from Lao Qian that you haven't applied for 051C yet? Your Northern Fleet doesn't plan to participate in this training, right? This is not okay! Our original intention is to boost the morale of all naval officers and soldiers. Your Northern Fleet I always feel uncomfortable if I don’t come.”
“Xiao Chongjun, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have almost forgotten that the training day is less than a month away!”
“Everyone. My family, thank you for seeing me outside!"
Xiao Chongjun seemed unable to hear the dissatisfaction in Xu Dongguo's words, and continued to talk to himself.
"By the way, the improvement of my 956E is going very smoothly, and I should be able to catch up with the training! I have discussed it with Lao Qian. When the time comes, we will let go. No matter what, we must take your Lao Xu's face into consideration, right?" ”
"You don't need to apply. Lao Qian and I have already told the chief that 051C will arrive in two days!"
Xu Dongguo held the phone and said nothing for a long time.
Damn Xiao Chongjun, it’s been more than a month and he still holds a grudge!
Zhou Qinglei received the notice that night and was ready to train 051C in a few days to prepare for the training next month.
A few days later, 051C arrived.
Since Su Dingping and others were present at the original port of berth, Zhou Qinglei directed 051C to park at another port farther away for fear of affecting their work.
In the huge military base, Zhou Qinglei commanded the 051C, two 053H3 frigates and a group of missile boats, and began daily training at sea.
Su Dingping led Sun Yongguo and others to continue to attack 052. The two parties did not interfere with each other and progressed simultaneously.
In early March, the missiles applied for were also delivered to the base, and Su Dingping and others became even busier.
Time flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding situation is turbulent, and there are constant rumors from the outside that the construction of Toyo's fourth Kongo-class guided missile has come to an end. Although it was finally proved to be a rumor, it cast a shadow on the hearts of many naval officers and military fans.
The enemy is getting stronger and stronger. Where is the way out for our navy?
On the night of March 21st, the Navy’s Northern Sea Military Base.
Sun Yongguo and others looked at all the molded parts and were filled with emotion.
It took about two months to complete such a huge project. Looking back on this period of time, they were a little unbelievable.
He vaguely remembered that two months ago, a few people discussed this impossible thing here.
But now, everything has become a fact.
Sun Yongguo sighed: "It's unimaginable! Dingping led us to create a miracle!"
"No way, who could have imagined it at the time! The improved 052 is beyond my imagination "Qiang, just wait for assembly now!"
Lu Guangjun said with emotion,
"It's hard to imagine that such an advanced warship was actually made by us! Speaking of which, we are also this miracle..."
"Hey, Lao Lu, you are so shameless! Just play support. When you play as an assistant, you have to act like you are the main attacker! You can point out all the technical achievements on your own. "
When Sun Yongguo said this, Lu Guangjun was immediately stunned. He coughed violently.
"Ahem - the temperature is quite low today, isn't it the beginning of spring!"
After carefully checking all the parts, Su Dingping said: "Dean, please inform me Captain Zhou, come and help.”
"Dingping, it may take a while."
"What's wrong?" Su Dingping glanced at several people in surprise.
"At this point, Captain Zhou is probably leading people to practice 051C!"
051C?
When did it happen?
Seeing Su Dingping's confused look, Lu Guangjun explained.
“I only found out after I met Captain Zhou a few days ago and talked about it that 051C came at the end of last month! Our navy will conduct military training on the 23rd. Our Northern Fleet does not have any warships that can be used, so before I The improved 051C from the 408th Institute was sent over. "
No warships available?
Su Dingping looked at the 052 that was about to be assembled behind him, and then at the people in front of him, feeling puzzled.
"Don't get me wrong, Dingping." Sun Yongguo said quickly, "Actually, the last time I went to see the chief, the chief asked me when the 052 reform would be ready."
"Dean, what did you say at that time?"
"I considered that there were still a batch of missiles that needed to be improved, so I concluded that they could be completed by the end of March. I guess at that time, the chief felt that 052 had no chance to play. I just got 051C. Who knew that our progress was faster than I expected!"
Lu Guangjun added: "Yes, it is simply a miracle!"
After listening to two words, After the explanation, Su Dingping finally understood what happened.
The reason why this improvement took so long is that major innovations and adjustments were made to the technology.
Although the model he and a few people ordered was 052B.
Compared with 052B in the previous life, it is much stronger.
Since it is not equipped with technologies such as active phase array control radar and missile vertical launch system, its combat level is somewhat worse than the previous 052C.
However, the latter technology Su Dingping has obtained a lot of inspiration from the analysis of the core technology of 052D. It will not be long before the second improvement of 052 will be put into practice.
"I'll urge you." Lu Guangjun said: "Since we have completed the training ahead of schedule, the three fleets will train on the 23rd and let Captain Zhou and the others drive 052 over."
"It makes sense! I will urge you too!"
