Chapter 73 Who is coming? The four chiefs went to pick it up together!
Xu Dongguo felt a little excited.
Before setting off in the morning, he was still worried that if he played with 051C tomorrow, he would be at the bottom no matter what.
Although 051C has crossed the threshold of modernization, compared with the veteran modern warship 956E, the gap is still very obvious.
It will be difficult to lose miserably by then.
He prepared himself mentally for a long time before gradually allowing himself to accept the upcoming result.
Unexpectedly, I learned at this juncture that Zhou Qinglei and others had lost contact, and 052 could not find his whereabouts. At that time, he felt that the improvement of 052 must be the result.
Now that he received a call from Zhou Qinglei, his hanging heart finally dropped.
052 improvement was successful! And he is about to be pulled over to participate in military training!
In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the work progress table that Sun Yongguo submitted when he went to find him last month.
According to the various technologies listed above, there is no problem for the improved 052 and 956E to compete head-on.
As for what Sun Yongguo said, once the improvement is successful, the 052 can surpass the optimized 956E, which he is still a little uneasy about.
No other, the optimized 956E combat level is ridiculously strong! At least this is the case for the three major fleets.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Dongguo pretended to be calm. Even though he had the answer in his heart, he still couldn't help but ask.
“052 improvement successful?”
"Yes, chief, the improvement of 052 has been successful. I heard from Dingping and the others that it is now called 052B."
"052B? What about 052A?"
"Reporting to the chief, Dean Sun said that originally there was 051A, but its combat level was not greatly improved, so it was killed by Dingping," Zhou Qinglei said truthfully.
Xu Dongguo has not yet seen the actual measurement data of the improved 052B, so he does not have a clear feeling about the 052A being killed and finalized into the 052B according to Zhou Qinglei.
Anyway, it’s just one sentence, as long as it’s better than 051C.
In any case, the participation of the newly finalized 052B in military training has greatly improved the survivability of the Northern Fleet.
"The test has just been completed, how is your proficiency? Tomorrow's training must be treated as actual combat!"
"Report to the leader, there is absolutely no problem!"
" Okay, then you can command 052B to come and participate in the training."
"Yes! Chief!"
With Xu Dongguo's approval, Zhou Qinglei quickly responded.
Just kidding, considering the powerful combat level of 052B, how much proficiency is required for mere military training? Isn't this bullying?
Close your eyes and you can hit 956E.
After a pause, Xu Dongguo asked again: "Where is Dingping? He is busy now and should have time to come over."
"Report to the chief, Dingping has just got on the plane and is expected to arrive tonight "Arrived." After thinking about it, Zhou Qinglei added: "But Dingping was worried that he didn't know anyone there. I think he was a little nervous at the time."
"Why is he nervous when I'm here! Can Chief Liu still be able to eat people?" Xu Dongguo said angrily.
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Let Sun Yongguo and Lu Guangjun come over. After all, they have participated in the improvement of 052B, so it would be inappropriate not to show up."
"With me?"
"Let's go with you. I can also help you deepen our understanding of 052B on the way."
"Yes, Chief! What about 051C?"
051C?
Xu Dongguo looked thoughtful.
With the more advanced 052B, he no longer looks down on the 051C.
But it was Zhou Qinglei who controlled 051C, and the temporary replacement did not have enough time to become proficient. On the battlefield, it is easy to cause trouble.
Old warships that are about to be retired are excluded from this training, as are small and medium-sized ships such as missile boats.
As a result, the Northern Fleet can only fight with two 053H3 frigates and a newly improved 052B destroyer.
The Southern Fleet can fight with two 053H3 frigates, one 052 destroyer, and one 956E destroyer.
The Eastern Fleet can fight with a 053H3 frigate, a 052 destroyer, and a 956E destroyer.
After careful calculation, even if the 052B is really better than the 956E, it will be at the same level as the Eastern Fleet.
The possibility of fighting for first place is unlikely, but there is still hope for fighting for second place.
In this way, even if you lose this training, you can at least fight back and forth without being too embarrassed.
This result is much better than before! Previously it was far behind second place.
With this in mind, Xu Dongguo Road.
“Don’t worry.”
“Yes, Chief!”
"I still have something to do. Let's meet in detail tomorrow." After saying that, Xu Dongguo hung up the phone.
Handing back the satellite phone, he told the guard: "Wait here, and notify me immediately when the peace is reached."
"It's the chief!"
After explaining the good things, Xu Dongguo was in a good mood and walked much more briskly.
When I arrived at the conference room, I found Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun already waiting there.
Looking around, Liu Huaming was not seen.
"Old Xu, are you here?"
As soon as he saw Xu Dongguo, Xiao Chongjun immediately shouted to him.
"Where is the chief?"
"The chief is in a hurry, let us wait here for a while." The conversation changed and Xiao Chongjun continued: "What's going on, Old Xu, look at your face It doesn’t look good!”
"How long have you been here, and you still hold a grudge?"
"Hey Lao Xu, what you said is wrong! What does it mean to hold a grudge? I only care about your Northern Fleet."
Leng With a snort, Xu Dongguo didn't even bother to talk to him.
This time the second place is a battle between the Northern Fleet and the Eastern Fleet. As Xiao Chongjun is the leader of the Eastern Fleet, Xu Dongguo naturally has a hard time giving him a good look.
Qian Wenbing, who felt he had a chance to win, acted as a peacemaker.
"Old Xiao, please stop saying a few words. I can't exchange your 956E for Lao Xu's 051C. It depends on how you look."
Xiao Chongjun glared at him, as if to say: You are the only one who talks too much.
Qian Wenbing didn't take it seriously and looked at Xu Dongguo and said: "Old Xu, where are the young comrades? Why didn't I come with you?"
"On the way, we'll arrive in the evening."
"That's fine. I'm still afraid that you'll hide your little comrade and won't even let him come over to take a look at the military training."
Upon hearing that Su Dingping was arriving in the evening, Xiao Chongjun said quickly.
“Lao Xu, I’ll have a little chat with my little comrade later. Is that okay?”
“You can do whatever you want.”
“If you say this, I will Don't worry, I will definitely give you some relief during the military training tomorrow!" Xiao Chongjun said cheerfully.
He was a little excited inside. When Li Mingrui and others improved 956E, they often talked about Su Dingping and praised him full of praise.
After hearing more reports from his subordinates, he looked forward to it even more, wondering if he could bring Su Dingping to his fleet.
Although Qian Wenbing didn't say anything, his thinking eyes clearly had a similar idea.
They are all sure of one thing. If they can conquer the core technology of 956E on their own, it is only a matter of time before they can build more advanced warships!
When such a warship appears in any fleet, which fleet will be more prestigious.
Xu Dongguo knew what the two of them were thinking and didn't criticize them.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.
With the sound of footsteps, Liu Huaming arrived.
“The three comrades are here.”
“Chief.”
"Everyone, sit down." After Liu Huaming took his seat, he said in a solemn tone, "Let's have a small meeting before training."
The three of them suddenly looked solemn.
With the leader away, the three of them can tease each other. Now that the leader is here, they must have the proper attitude.
"Just now, I received definite news that the forging project of Toyo's fourth Kongang-class guided drive has entered the final stage."
"It can be expected that it will only take half a year. The fourth The King Kong-class guided missile will be officially put into service by then, with four fully-equipped Eighth-Eight Fleets, plus two light aircraft carriers.”
Looking across the three of them, Liu Huaming continued.
“The current situation is not good for us!”
The three of them felt heavy.
Once an unexpected situation occurs in half a year, the navy will still be able to cooperate with the rocket force and the air force in coastal defensive operations.
The dignified navy can only fight in offshore waters, which is a pain in their hearts.
If only Dingping had appeared a few years earlier, we wouldn't be so embarrassed now. Xu Dongguo sighed secretly in his heart.
"So this military training must be regarded as actual combat! If anyone lets you offend, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yes, chief!"
Xiao Chongjun threw himself at Xu Dongguo An apologetic look.
You can’t blame me for this. I also wanted to let things go, but the chief didn’t allow it.
Xu Dongguo pretended not to see it.
“One more thing.”
Liu Huaming continued.
"The progress of the '1121' plan does not seem to be going well."
"Yes, chief." Xu Dongguo said: "I sent Wang De there last month. With his secret assistance, Zhao Quanfa also successfully negotiated with the actor country for the second time, and received even more unexpected news.”
"Tell me and listen."
"Someone behind the scenes is blocking the sale of the Varyag aircraft carrier!"
Qian Wenbing asked: "Who is there?"
" They are still the same people back then."
Qian Wenbing was silent for a moment.
I couldn't afford to offend him then, and I still can't afford to offend him now.
Xiao Chongjun said helplessly: "Isn't it just an abandoned aircraft carrier? They all stretch their hands so long. They clearly don't like it and they won't let others sell it to us. I really want to chop it all up for them one day. !”
After pondering for a while, Liu Huaming said.
“Adopt a backup plan.”
“Yes! I will send someone to inform Wang De when the time comes.”
The main plan is Zhao Quanfa, with Wang De as the assistant. The backup plan was to have Wang De as the main leader and Zhao Quanfa as the supplementary one.
These were all decided before Wang De was sent there, and a businessman's identity was prepared for Wang De.
After discussing the two important matters, Liu Huaming suddenly looked at Xu Dongguo and asked.
"Didn't the little comrade come with you?"
Xu Dongguo explained: "Dingping has been too busy recently. I just have some time and I will arrive in the evening."
"That's good. It's been so long, it's time for us to meet the heroes of our navy!"
Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun responded quickly: "We have wanted to meet him for a long time."
Liu Huaming felt relieved knowing that Su Dingping would arrive in the evening.
"The 051C production line has been established. How long is it expected to be mass-produced?"
"Chief, if everything goes well, we will be able to launch one vessel before April 23rd!" After a pause, Xiao Chongjun added Said: "It's military spending..."
"This year's military budget has come down, and it is one billion more than last year."
As soon as Liu Huaming finished speaking, Xiao Chongjun couldn't sit still.
"Chief, why is it only more than eight billion? This is too little! I still want to hurry up and install the 051C in the three major fleets within two years."
" There is nothing we can do about it. Just wait, if we can successfully join the Blue Star Trade Alliance by the end of the year, the country will have money, and then the military budget will naturally increase. "
Liu Huaming has no choice but to deal with military expenditures. He can't change anything.
It is a fact that the navy has the lowest sense of presence among the three services. If we don't achieve some outstanding results, how can we compete with the Army and Air Force for military expenditures?
Xiao Chongjun and others remained silent.
Having been waiting for many years, they feel there is not much hope this year.
A few people kept talking until about seven o'clock in the evening. At this time, Xu Dongguo's guard ran over and said something in his ear before leaving quickly.
“Chief, Dingping’s special plane has arrived.”
At the military base airport in the southern sea area, a special plane flew from far to near.
The airport staff was preparing to pick up the plane when they suddenly found Xu Dongguo coming.
Just as they were about to say hello to the chief, they noticed that behind Xu Dongguo, Qian Wenbing, Xiao Chongjun, and Liu Huaming were all coming.
Everyone was confused.
Let’s just pick up the plane. What are the leaders doing here?
Immediately, they noticed several people coming towards them.
Is there something urgent, chief?
As soon as this idea came up, Xu Dongguo and others were already approaching.
“Hello, Chief!”
“Thank you for your hard work, leave it to us next.”
"Yes, chief."
The airport pick-up staff stood aside, looking at the several chiefs who were also standing not far away, and then at the landing plane. Their hearts were beating fast.
They are not stupid, they can naturally see that the leaders are waiting for the people on the plane.
Is there some big shot on the special plane?
No one told us before!
Why are the four chiefs here?
