Chapter 704 Ashore! Come ashore!
The comrades didn’t say much, they just gave a serious salute.
Gao Zhendong bid farewell to them and turned to go home.
As soon as he entered the door, Mrs. Jia Zhang came over with two little girls.
Other neighbors who helped deliver the child have already told her the process. For Jia Zhang, Lou Xiaoe’s action this time cannot be overstated.
If she really sent away three generations of men in her family one by one, it goes without saying how she would feel.
After serving dinner to the two young ladies, seeing that Qin Huairu hadn't come back yet, Jia Zhang didn't wait any longer and brought the two young girls over to express her thanks.
Is Mr. Jia Zhang a slut or a fool? If you don’t personally express your gratitude for this kind of thing, your reputation in the courtyard will be really bad in the future.
Now Lou Xiao'e really couldn't deal with it. After all, as a young man in her twenties, she had never seen an old lady kneel down with two little girls.
Moreover, even with Jia Zhang’s weight, she couldn’t stand it.
At this time, it was Gao Zhendong who lifted Jia Zhang up and sat down to talk.
After enduring the Jia Zhang family’s numerous thanks, Gao Zhendong and his wife sent their grandparents and grandchildren home.
The observation period required for Banggeng in the hospital is not long, and even a broken rib does not require hospitalization, so Jia Zhang does not need to send anything.
Seeing his grandfather and grandson disappear at the gate of the central courtyard, Gao Zhendong turned around and saw Lou Xiao'e smiling, so beautifully.

Gao Zhendong came to the National Defense Work Committee again. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the comrades from the Maritime Decoration Bureau laughing so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.
It seems that they went back and discussed something overnight and made some decisions.
Sure enough, when he saw Gao Zhendong, a comrade from the Shipping Decoration Bureau happily came over.
"Comrade Zhendong, we have already decided on the large escort boat you proposed, let's do it!"
As the real Party A, what we want to do is basically decided by the Marine Equipment Bureau. Well, generally speaking, the National Defense Working Committee will make technical corrections. After all, sometimes Party A gets too imaginative and will eventually return to "let's just use the first version." That would be a lot of fun.
Even money is not something that the National Defense Working Committee really considers, and money is not allocated by them. The National Defense Working Committee is related to money. In addition to research funds, the most important thing is to achieve the required functions and performance within a limited cost.
It just so happens that there is nothing that requires technical correction regarding large escort boats. It either already exists or will soon exist. So basically the Maritime Decoration Bureau and the Navy have agreed on the matter, and the matter is basically settled.
Gao Zhendong is extremely happy about this. Even if his suggestions are not recognized later, these three boats will be able to work with the air force or naval aviation for a long time to protect the exclusive economic zone around the continental shelf. No worries inside.
As for the Citizen aircraft carrier, to be honest, this thing is strong in maneuverability and is used for mobile operations on the sea. If it sticks to the mainland to fight, it will not even be comparable to an airport with the same number of aircraft deployed.
At least the airport will not sink, has strong survivability, and is easy to supply.
Not to mention anything else, how many aircraft carriers were mobilized to fight against Iraq in the 1991 Oil Gulf War?
The aircraft carrier seems to be invincible. In fact, it is because of its opponents. After S2, no one is a serious power. Fighters of three regiments can really fight against local opponents of comparable size. Destroying the world, that's not really possible.
If you don’t want to go out, protect routes, take the initiative to attack, and deny long-range defenses, aircraft carriers are really not that useful.
This is not to say that aircraft carriers are useless, but that for a country that is on a complete strategic defensive, aircraft carriers are not as useful as missiles.
On the contrary, if this thing wants to be transported from sea to land, it will not work at all. Otherwise, Citigroup would not be tinkering with the most expensive and most useless destroyers and frigates in history. Of course, that would be bad for them. It is another sad story. The idea is not necessarily wrong. The mistake is that the first one is the wrong opponent and the second one is the wrong teammate.
Moreover, these things have other uses.
Seeing that Gao Zhendong also grinned, the comrade of the Shipping Decoration Bureau smiled. He knew that Chief Engineer Gao must be very happy to hear the news: "General Engineer Gao, do you have any other good ideas? Don’t hide it, haha.”
Gao Zhendong nodded happily.
The offshore defense matter has almost come to an end. At the beginning of today, the Defense Working Committee announced that there is no need to discuss the boat matter. There is already a certain intention. It seems that the Maritime Equipment Bureau notified them very timely. .
Let’s not talk about small boats, let’s talk about other things. Large ships were originally put at the end due to technical difficulties, so today they are discussing military auxiliary ships.
There are many categories of this thing, and everyone talks about it in various ways and expresses their own opinions.
The consensus view is that there must be at least two more electronic reconnaissance ships, one in the north, one in the east, and one in the middle, right? Moreover, the working environment and working conditions of this kind of ship are not that extreme. If the crew is equipped with a few more sets, it can even float around on the sea for a long time without changing the ship. It is not that this kind of thing has never been done before, just like those slow-moving ships. The cargo ships have full duty hours, but the maintenance is not as frequent and long-term as that of combat ships.
Three are almost enough.
Gao Zhendong was happy to hear that these comrades are not kind at all.
Apart from anything else, if this thing is drifting on the sea with high-power interference every day, or it plays "The East is Red" with directional antennas at suppressed power in various frequency bands every day, it can probably drive a lot of people crazy.
Oh, no, "Dongfanghong" has not been composed yet, so let's "Nanniwan", this song is also quite nice.
Some comrades suggested that the design and construction of medium-sized landing ships should be put on the agenda as soon as possible. It seems that everyone has the same things in mind, and the tone in their hearts is not yet smooth.
Everyone agrees with this suggestion. When talking about this matter, all the comrades in the army screamed.
With a displacement of 4,000 tons, it can carry an armored company and an infantry company, which is actually more than half a battalion. If three ships can complete the task, it is enough to carry the size of more than half a regiment. As long as the support is appropriate, this is not an enemy. It can be easily chewed and driven into the sea.
There is no need for Gao Zhendong to go through the system on this matter. Comrades are more proactive than him.
And the comrades from the Marine Equipment Bureau also made a request: a speed of 18 knots!
We do have tank landing ships at this time, but they are a bit old. As for the source, hey, you have to ask the transport captain about this.
We have Citigroup's LSD with a speed of 11 knots. This speed means that even in the narrowest part of Angelica Strait, a round trip will take 18 hours. There is no doubt that we are not rushing to make the trip. From launching an attack It took 27 hours to complete two voyages, which was a bit too slow. The quantity was not large and the speed was still slow, so it was a bit cumbersome to use.
So this request is actually very reasonable.
Reasonable is reasonable, but this requirement is a bit confusing to comrades who are currently preparing to build a landing ship: "For the purpose of loading capacity, beach washing and beach retreating performance, the landing ship has a special hull, with a flat bottom, wide body, and a springboard at the bow. The performance of our high-power diesel engines is not quite up to par, but It's a bit difficult."
The Maritime Installation Bureau refused to give in: "This request must be realized."
"Okay, we will go in this direction." The comrade who was preparing to build the landing ship said. Grit your teeth and do it, everything is ready-made, so why do you have to do it yourself?
At this time, the chief engineer of the National Defense Working Committee looked at Gao Zhendong with a look of confusion, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Comrade Zhendong, do you have any ideas about the landing ship?" Take the initiative to ask.
Gao Zhendong sighed and put his thoughts back.
"Well, the medium-sized landing ship is good. Even if we don't build many, at least complete the design first, form a certain number, and train a large number of personnel. This thing will explode quickly."
He knew very well, Amphibious ships can detonate troops much faster than combat ships. The famous "Mrs. Cow" he saw in his previous life may not look like an amphibious assault ship with a deck, but when it comes to construction speed, it is much faster.
"Well, your suggestion is very good. Complete technical preparations, ensure a certain scale, and form a personnel reserve."
Gao Zhendong smiled and said: "Actually, besides this, I think landing craft can also be used. , to build a ship with a long voyage and good seaworthiness, it can not only complete the landing in wartime, but also be used to supply the islands in peacetime. It is not easy to dock at the small dock. "
The comrade in the sea outfit was stunned: "We have landing craft, of many types and numbers, large, medium and small. We must build them, and then build new ones?"
Even in this year, our landing craft It’s hard to say the quantity, but there is really no shortage of models. We even bought 50 of our imitation Lao Maozi landing craft because of their good quality.
Gao Zhendong chuckled and said: "It's not that the range is not far enough, and the seaworthiness is not suitable for traveling far away."
Well, are you still thinking about this?
Well, it can indeed be reorganized. The main thing is to design the landing craft. It is much simpler. It costs no trouble and no money. Building the landing craft does not cost much. Since it has this use, it is not impossible to reorganize it. , it was originally meant to be made and used.
"Well, write this down, discuss it with the Land Loading Bureau, and include it in the adjustment plan later." If the landing craft is mainly used by the navy, then the landing craft also has a close relationship with the army.
Seeing that everyone thought their idea was acceptable, Gao Zhendong talked about something he had been thinking about for a while.
"Actually, I think there is a kind of ship that we can consider." He said thoughtfully.
Everyone immediately became energetic. Generally speaking, Gao Zhendong starts with this style, which means that he has new ideas. There is a certain probability that we do not even have the kind of ship he mentioned.
Countless facts have proven that Gao Zhendong’s new idea is reliable! Easy to use!
"Chief Engineer Gao, tell me, do you have any new ideas?" Comrades from several different ship research institutes are even more enthusiastic than the National Defense Works Committee and the Marine Equipment Bureau. Maybe they will have another big job.
