Chapter 496: Then do it yourself and build an aircraft carrier-based aircraft
“Yes!”
Several air force chiefs said in unison.
Looking at the people leaving, Ma Zhengbang let out a long sigh.
The Air Force was still ranked second before, but now it is directly at the bottom.
"If this continues, the Air Force will hold back the three armed forces."
Ma Zhengbang sighed slightly, feeling very sad in his heart, but he was also determined.
On the way back to the Navy Headquarters Base, Liu Huaming’s face was full of pride.
“Dingping, you saw it, so many people are staring at you.”
“If I hadn’t left in time, once I was entangled, I would have refused in front of Xue Shuai. I'm really sorry to obstruct you. I'll have to add tasks to you. To be honest, I feel very sorry for you. No matter what, you are a member of my navy."
At this point, he changed the topic, "Dingping, after the celebration banquet is over, I'll give you a holiday. What do you think?"
A holiday?
Su Dingping was obviously stunned for a moment, and had never thought about this problem before.
"No need, Chief. There are a lot of things going on recently, and I'm all too busy. Forget about the holidays, we'll talk about it later when we're not busy."
Su Dingping said lightly. He shook his head slightly and refused directly.
"Hey!"
Liu Huaming sighed helplessly. He also knew what kind of temper Su Dingping had.
Give him a holiday, just like killing him.
"Dingping, do you know that it has been more than a year since your last vacation." Liu Huaming also wanted to persuade him.
Su Dingping smiled and said: "Chief, I am still young, and it is a good age to strive. Besides, Mr. Qian didn't give himself a holiday, how can I be special?"
< br>
As soon as these words came out, Liu Huaming and everyone else laughed.
Only they know how much helplessness is contained in this smile.
Back at the naval base, the celebration banquet has been prepared.
At this Tri-Service Commendation Conference, the Navy stole the show, both the Army and the Air Force were suppressed.
The number of people who received commendations accounted for more than two-fifths of the three armies, almost half of them.
It was unimaginable before, and it had never happened before.
The entire naval base was filled with extremely bright smiles on their faces.
After almost an hour, Liu Huaming and other leaders were seated in the auditorium.
Those who can have dinner here all start at the rank of colonel, which can be said to be a very high level. Without a certain status, they are not qualified to come here.
As soon as the banquet started, Liu Huaming picked up his wine glass and stood up, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Come on! Everyone raise your glasses, for this first glass of wine, let's respect Comrade Dingping together! ”
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses.
Wan Long was the first to shout: "Respect Colonel Su!"
Zhou Qinglei and others almost said in unison: "Respect Colonel Su!"
Seeing everyone like this Su Dingping was very moved by the enthusiasm. He immediately stood up, raised his wine glass and said, "Here's to you all!"
He then drank it all in one gulp!
Then, Liu Huaming picked up the wine glass again and said: "This second glass of wine is for you all!"
Everyone raised the wine glass high again, clinked the glass with Liu Huaming in the air, and then drank it all.
"This is my third glass of wine, to our navy!"
"To the navy!"
Everyone started shouting.
After toasting the three glasses of wine, Liu Huaming and the other leaders sat down, and everyone followed suit.
This also means that the banquet has officially begun, and everyone is feasting.
Half an hour later, after three drinks, the atmosphere at the scene gradually became better.
Wan Long walked up to Su Dingping with a wine glass in hand, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Mr. Su, I toast you this glass of wine."
Follow Su Dingping. After working as a security battalion commander in an integrated military factory for a period of time, he seemed to have done nothing. His military rank was actually promoted to colonel, and he also received a military medal.
This was something he never expected, so he was very grateful to Su Dingping and respected him from the bottom of his heart!
Not only was his own military rank promoted, but he also saw with his own eyes how the navy, under the leadership of Su Dingping, was constantly updating and iterating warships one after another, and its strength became increasingly stronger!
“Thank you for your hard work during this period!”
“We will continue to cooperate in the future, and the safety of the integrated military factory will trouble you.”
Su Dingping also picked up the wine glass, turned around and looked at Wan Long enthusiastically, and said seriously.
"Mr. Su, it is my honor to be responsible for the safety and security of the integrated military factory!"
Wan Long took the initiative to clink glasses with Su Dingping, and deliberately lowered the rim of the glass, "I did it, It's up to you."
After saying that, he happily raised his head and drank the cup upside down.
Su Dingping was naturally not ambiguous and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking several glasses of white wine, Su Dingping felt his throat was burning and his whole body began to feel hot.
During his stay in the Navy, he basically did not drink alcohol on weekdays. He would only drink alcohol at celebration banquets like this, so naturally he would have such sequelae.
But fortunately, he was able to hold on.
Following them, Zhou Qinglei, Cao Youren and others came over one after another holding wine glasses.
Cao Youren has now also received notice that he will be a candidate for the captain of the next 10,000-ton cruise ship, and has entered a comprehensive learning stage.
“Mr. Su, I am a big boss and can’t speak.”
"In short, thank you!"
"Everything is in this wine!"
"I did it, you can do whatever you want."
Cao Youren's face was full of excitement said.
When he finished speaking, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
One drink after another, one drink after another, Su Dingping also felt that he was gradually getting drunk.
Finally everything was done, Su Dingping sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
It lasted for more than an hour, and the banquet also ended.
Su Dingping followed several leaders to the lounge nearby, drinking tea to sober up.
Xu Dongguo on the side said with a cheerful smile: "Dingping, you are the protagonist of every celebration banquet, and you are much more popular than the rest of us."
Qian Wenbing also said: "Old Xu, you remember what I said before, there should be an extra seat on the rostrum. No, someone will take it soon."
Xiao Chongjun followed: "I I remember you told Dingping not to keep us waiting too long. He didn't keep us waiting too long. "I guess the next step will be for him to reach the rank of major general."
The leaders laughed, and they all laughed. I feel that Su Dingping deserves it, and even his current rank of senior colonel outweighs his achievements.
Although he has the rank of senior colonel, the leaders do not feel that his gold content is low and he cannot be on an equal footing with them.
After laughing, Xu Dongguo brought the topic down to business.
"Dingping, our 052B production line has been upgraded and officially put into production. The new 052B can be launched into the water."
"Now the repair and transformation project of the Gabet aircraft carrier has come to an end. According to the requirements of the Shai tribe, we are going to equip four 052Bs to form an aircraft carrier formation with the aircraft carrier Gabet, which can be delivered in October. "
"Dingping, what do you think?"< br>
After speaking, Xu Dongguo looked at Su Dingping eagerly.
"Chief, you can decide on this matter."
Su Dingping said seriously without thinking. He had already put forward enough opinions on this kind of foreign trade matter before, and the follow-up was basically Nothing happened without him, and he was not in a position to interfere.
Some things have to be done by the chief and others. He still understands this human nature.
Xu Dongguo then continued: "Since there are no problems, then 052D can be put into production again, and our navy can gradually retire 051C."
"In the future, 052D It has become the main standard equipment of our navy’s guided missile destroyers!”
This also means that the Navy's main guided missile destroyers have officially entered the era of third-generation ships, and it also means that the Navy has begun to accelerate the elimination of those backward second-generation ships, and even sporadic first-generation ships.
After everyone discussed some things, Su Dingping looked at Liu Huaming again.
"Chief, I need an F16, F15, Su-27, and a J-10."
Su Dingping's words immediately stunned all the leaders.
Everyone who was slightly drunk suddenly woke up and stared at Su Dingping with wide eyes.
All of the things he proposed were fighter jets.
If ships are needed, they might be better off thinking about it. In their opinion, that is Su Dingping's main research direction.
And now we suddenly need fighter jets?
There seems to be no necessary connection between the two, right?
The parts on fighter jets are not used on naval ships at all.
Why does he need a fighter jet?
Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, Su Dingping immediately explained: "Chief, our first aircraft carrier Varyag should be launched soon, right?"
"Soon, too. It’s just what happened in the past few months.”
Xu Dongguo took over the conversation and responded seriously.
This aircraft carrier, with a displacement of more than 65,000 tons, was hauled back from the Black Bear Tribe by the Navy, which required many efforts and many twists and turns. It took more than a year.
It has been anchored in the port for a while, and now it has officially entered the renewal stage.
Two years ago, Su Dingping also provided a large amount of confidential materials needed for the repair of this aircraft carrier, which was of great help to researchers such as Cheng Yiqiang of the 702 Research Institute who was responsible for related research tasks. .
The continuation project has naturally been greatly shortened in time.
“With such a large aircraft carrier, we can’t just dock armed helicopters, right? Wouldn’t that become a helicopter carrier?”
Su Dingping's words immediately stunned everyone. They had really not thought about this issue before.
The Varyag is a ski-jump aircraft carrier, although Liu Huaming looks down on it.
After all, even if the Varyag aircraft carrier is rebuilt, it still does not match the current navy. It needs to be upgraded at least once, but in that case it will take more time and at least four more. Five years or so.
But it is the first real aircraft carrier of the Longxia Navy, and it has extremely unusual significance for the Longxia tribe!
For the current navy, its significance is far greater than the actual combat needs. It symbolizes the navy’s strong bones and the spirit of never giving up and striving upward!
“Now, I already have some ideas. Although carrier-based aircraft is a new challenge for me, I plan to make some preparations in advance for the launch of the next-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. I plan to put the carrier-based aircraft on board as soon as possible. Schedule! ”
"Otherwise, after our aircraft carrier is launched, it will look like all the docked helicopters are armed helicopters. Wouldn't that be too ugly?"
Su Dingping's words made everyone suddenly realize, A look of shock immediately appeared on their faces.
It seems like this guy is really going to attack the carrier-based aircraft.
Before, I had been counting on the Air Force, which had held special seminars in this area for a long time. However, there was no technical reserve in this area at all. If I wanted to build my own aircraft carrier-based aircraft, how could I I don’t know the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
Moreover, this is what they thought before. The aircraft carrier was launched first, and the carrier-based aircraft were replaced by armed helicopters.
Unexpectedly, Su Dingping would do it himself.
Liu Huaming nodded in agreement and said: "I understand, I will take care of this matter."
But then the conversation changed, "Dingping, I got everything It's just a fighter jet. If we want to change it into a carrier-based aircraft, neither our navy nor the air force has relevant experience."
"I had a meeting with the aviation department some time ago, and they have no experience in this area. "
Su Dingping was already confident and said with a faint smile: "Chief, we have no experience, we can slowly explore it! There has to be someone to start this, right?"
"So, I want to be the first one to eat crabs."
Liu Huaming immediately said: "Okay, I will take care of this matter."
Seeing Su Dingping drank a lot today, so Liu Huaming directly asked the guards to help him go to rest first.
Soon only Liu Huaming and several other navy heavyweights were left in the lounge. The shock on everyone's faces has not subsided. They all know how much fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft means to the navy. huge.
I saw Su Dingping so confident just now. They were lying if they said they were not moved.
"Dingping said that they want to build carrier-based aircraft, what do you think?"
Liu Huaming did not stop going alone, but looked at Xu Dongguo and others.
Everyone looked at each other and then spoke one after another.
"Chief, I think we should unconditionally trust Dingping as before. Since he said he has ideas, he must have started research in this area before."
"Yes, don't It seems that Dingping can be very bold at times, but he has never fought an unprepared battle. I believe that he already has a concrete theory, and now he only needs physical objects like airplanes.”
"I really didn't expect that our navy's own fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft would eventually have to be built by our own people."
"Chief, even if he fails, we will only lose a few fighters. It's okay. Once successful, our aviation technology will develop by leaps and bounds, and the cost-efficiency ratio is really too high."
"Once we develop our own carrier-based aircraft, we will directly become Jixiong. The fourth country after the Eagle Tribe, the Gallic Tribe, and the White Bear Tribe to master fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft technology."
The words of several of his subordinates directly made Liu Huaming make his decision.
The significance of this is so great that no matter how much he invests, he still thinks he can give it a try.
So, he asked the security guard to bring over his satellite secure phone.
"Get me Ma Zhengbang from the Air Force!"
"Yes!"
The call was quickly connected.
"Old Liu, why did you call me if you didn't go to rest at such a late hour? What's the matter?"
Ma Zhengbang, who was worrying in the office, suddenly answered the phone and asked unhappily.
