Chapter 53: The Great Wall of the Sea


The driver smiled and said, "Okay!

” As he spoke, he stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed forward, and the huge inertia made Lin Miaoyu, who was straightened up in the back seat, not sit down firmly for a while, was thrown onto the backrest, and bounced up again.

Lin Miaoyu instinctively grabbed Shen Huan's arm, and the whole person fell on him.

Shen Huan couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, while Lin Miaoyu was blushing and buried his head deeply.

The driver peeked in the rearview mirror, while showing envious, jealous and hateful eyes, a good cabbage was arched by a pig like this, he thought to himself, why is he not the pig?

Although he is not very interested in celebrities, Shen Huan does not refuse to take a look at this warm-up event to celebrate the return of Pearl, after all, the return of Pearls is imminent, which is a major event of national concern.

What does it mean that Mingzhu can make a smooth return?

It shows that the country's comprehensive national strength is strong, otherwise those British would not be willing to return to China an Oriental Pearl with an economic scale equivalent to 18 percent of Chinese mainland.

What is the embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength?

It's not the entertainment industry, of course, it's barely part of the cultural strength.

The most important thing is to rely on economic strength, human capital, natural resources, knowledge technology, and national defense strength, and so on.

The embodiment of national defense strength is multifaceted, and the national defense industry is the foundation of national defense strength.

In the national defense industry, the shipbuilding industry is the top priority, because Shen Huan knows very well that in the next ten years, with the strength of the country and the expansion of overseas interests, a strong maritime force is urgently needed.

It can be called the country's great wall on the sea, and if the development of naval equipment cannot keep up with the development of the economy, it will be bullied by others casually and stuck in the neck.

After the future "One Belt, One Road" strategy is proposed, China's economic cooperation with other countries in the world will be more clearly expressed in the form of "One Belt, One Road".

China's sea lanes will enter the Indian Ocean through the South China Sea, then to the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea in the Middle East, and then to Europe and Africa.

Shen Huan also won that a naval general said that in order for the "Belt and Road" to go out, the security of sea lanes and overseas investment must be mainly protected by the navy.

Why should we develop a blue-water navy, an ocean-going navy?

Because where the national interests go, the national security interests will be protected!

Naval equipment is the foundation to support a blue-water navy to the world, and if the shipbuilding industry cannot develop, there will be no development of military equipment.

Shen Huan still remembers that in 97 years, the Chinese Navy was equipped with 112 and 113 ships, this type of missile destroyer was called the Luhu class by NATO, which started construction at the Changxing Shipyard in Jiangnan on September 8, 1989, was launched on August 28, 1991, and was commissioned in the North Sea Fleet on May 8, 1994.

These only two most advanced naval capital destroyers are more than a little bit worse than those powerful navies.

The Harbin ship has only 4,800 tons in full row, which is only half of the King Kong-class destroyers of the foot basin country, and it has no regional air defense capability, and even the point defense capability is relatively poor, and most of the electronic equipment on the ship is still imported Western electronic equipment.

Just this year, the Navy took the best warship to visit the United States, and in the eyes of Shen Huan, a reborn, it was indeed a little shabby.

The news reported as follows: On 20 February 1997, the Chinese Navy's guided missile destroyer "Harbin," guided missile destroyer "Zhuhai," and supply ship "Nancang" visited Hawaii and San Diego in the United States.

The visit spanned the east-west and north-south hemispheres, with a total voyage of more than 24,000 nautical miles, achieving a historic breakthrough in the first time a naval warship formation crossed the Pacific Ocean and reached the mainland of the United States and the South American continent for the first time, setting a record for the largest foreign visit in the history of the People's Navy's foreign exchanges, the longest duration, the longest voyage, and the largest number of countries and cities visited, thus expanding the influence of the Chinese Navy in the international community.

The combat effectiveness of the Harbin ship is only equivalent to the Perry-class frigate of the United States Navy, and standing with the Aegis ships of the United States Navy, it is simply like a child and an adult standing together, not to mention the powerful amphibious assault ships and aircraft carriers of the United States.

The Zhuhai is even more backward, although it is also a new ship that has been in service for less than ten years, but its technology is still stuck in the fifties and sixties, and its air defense weapons are only 4 Type 76A twin 37 mm naval guns and 2 Type 61 twin 25 mm naval guns, not even short-range air defense missiles.

Of course, in any case, this voyage is also a breakthrough, in the Mi Navy military port, those Mi Navy giants, it brought a deep shock to the officers and men of the Navy, the Chinese Navy equipment is too backward!

Because of this voyage, there was a later introduction of Russian modern-class destroyers, and the introduction of modern-class destroyers also caused huge controversy.

However, the military newspaper reported that after the introduction of the Hangzhou, the lead ship of the modern-class destroyer, it received more than 700 visitors from higher-level organs, academies, scientific research institutes, and other places, which at least pushed forward our idea of warship construction for more than 10 years.

Shen Huan still remembers that if history does not change, that is, next month, the Russian prime minister will visit, at which time the Chinese side will announce the purchase of two Hyundai-class missile destroyers, worth a total of 800 million US dollars, and retain the right of first refusal to purchase six.

This is the second time since the 50s of the last century, after a gap of several decades, that China has ordered surface combat ships from Russia.

Although this is very bad news for China's shipbuilding industry, it is true that China's shipbuilding industry cannot build those advanced warships.

From the point of view of weapon configuration and comprehensive performance, just four modern-class destroyers themselves are enough to become the "flagship" of the Navy's destroyer formation.

The modern-class destroyers brought not only four more advanced large surface main combat ships, but also advanced shipboard equipment, which gave birth to China's two truly modern Type 052B destroyers 168 and 169.

The main combat equipment of the Type 052B destroyer, such as the "top plate" anti-aircraft search radar, the "bandstand" over-the-horizon radar, and the "Shikili" regional air defense missile weapon system, comes precisely from the additional terms of the contract for the purchase of Hyundai-class destroyers.

With these foundations, the great craftsmen of China's shipbuilding industry have eaten thoroughly step by step, and achieved leapfrog development, and the advanced Chinese Aegis ships have been launched one after another, which has been described as dumplings by military fans, as a member of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding, Shen Huan also participated in the construction of those advanced ships in his previous life, and his experience is naturally deeper.

With the large demand for naval equipment, Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard has become the main force in the construction of warships, and even gave up a lot of civilian ship orders, at the busiest time, and even built nearly 20 warships at the same time, there is a netizen photographed Jiangnan Changxing various types of combat ships in the same frame The picture is quite shocking, including 2 10,000-ton destroyers, 4 Type 052D destroyers, 2 Type 039B conventional submarines and 5 Type 726A landing craft.

Such a scale is equivalent to the total number and tonnage of naval ships of a medium-sized country, and it shows the amazing shipbuilding speed of Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding.

This is also what Shen Huan and Jiangnan people are proud of, but now that Shen Huan has been reborn, if he wants to feel that kind of shock and carnival again, he has to wait for time, but he is also thinking about how to advance this time.
