The next day, the China Shipbuilding Industry Development Forum continued to be held under the lens of the media.
The first report in the morning was brought by Professor Zhang Zhaozhong, a heavyweight public figure, a special military commentator of CCTV, a leader of the military equipment discipline of the National Defense University, and a doctoral supervisor, which made the atmosphere of the audience reach a new height.
You must know that Professor Zhang is not only a knowledgeable professor, but also a humorous TV commentator, so when he speaks, he is different from other leading experts, and the whole venue is full of laughter.
Professor Zhang walked onto the podium in a hurry, and Shen Huan couldn't help but be a little excited at this time, for Professor Zhang, Shen Huan is more familiar than everyone here, what wonderful arguments will this old navy say?
Professor Zhang's opening remarks were also different, I saw him smile and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to be here today to share with you the thoughts of an old navy on the future marine economy and the blue water navy. ” Professor Zhang's humor immediately attracted many experts to laugh.
Professor Zhang said disapprehantly: "Back to the book, many experts now agree with such a view, the 21st century is the ocean century.
Why?
Whether politically, economically, or militarily, the sea is too important for a great power, especially for our country!
Therefore, earnestly safeguarding maritime sovereignty and rights and interests is the top priority to ensure our national security and economic development.
When it comes to safeguarding the status quo of China's maritime rights and interests, some people say that it is a weak country that bullies a strong country, and a small country bullies a big country, and I think this sentence is indeed not wrong, all because our maritime power is not strong enough.
Now many leaders and experts have the view that in the next few decades, China's development will depend on the ocean!
Marching into the sea will surely become China's new strategic direction. ” After a pause, Professor Zhang said in a deep voice, "Why do you say this?
Because we all know that the ocean contains rich resources, especially with the rapid development of China's economy and the prosperity of foreign trade, the ocean not only provides us with rich resources, but also an important channel for China's future energy supply and an important pillar of China's economic development.
The ocean is also an important direction for China to participate in world economic integration, and the sea line of communication is an important channel for China's foreign economic ties.
Since China's accession to the WTO, foreign trade has become an important part of China's economic growth, and with the prosperity of foreign trade, ensuring overseas economic interests and the security of sea lanes has become the top priority.
Therefore, we must build a blue-water navy that can go to the ocean and build a great sea wall for us. ” "At present, there are still very few ships in our navy that can carry out ocean-going voyages and operations!
But with the launch of our new missile destroyer at the Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard, we began to take a crucial step!
It is believed that in the future, with the completion and commissioning of various ocean-going ships, we will eventually build our powerful ocean-going maritime forces.
Of course, every progress made in the development of our navy will attract great attention from foreign countries, such as our new missile destroyers, such as our new stealth missile boats, and even some Western media hype that China will transform Laowa into its first aircraft carrier, build a naval base in Sanya, and so on!
Hehe, I think, let them guess, our pace of developing China's blue-water navy will not stop!
Professor Zhang's remarks immediately attracted a round of warm applause from the leading experts.
Professor Zhang continued, "There is a consensus in the international academic community that the blue-water navy has become a symbol of a great power.
The Mi and Da Mao navies are absolute blue-water navies, and their warships can appear in any possible sea area; Although Britain and France are small in scale, they have quite large surface ships and are capable of carrying out ocean-going operations of a certain intensity.
And how can we, China, as a big country, not have our own blue-water navy?
At present, our navy is not commensurate with our status as a great power!
Therefore, we need to vigorously develop our shipbuilding industry, so that our navy can protect our maritime interests and security in a wide range of oceans, and at the same time play an active role in many areas, such as peacekeeping, combating piracy, and protecting the security of sea lanes......"
Professor Zhang's speech made Shen Huan think more than ten years later.
At that time, the Chinese Navy could indeed be called a real blue-water navy.
Although there is only one aircraft carrier called a training ship, the Navy's 10,000-ton drive, as well as the 052C/D Aegis ship, and a large number of Type 054A frigates, are all capable of ocean voyages and operations.
The development of naval equipment over the past 10 years or so has also been a huge test for China's shipbuilding industry.
Of course, Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding Group, which has built most of the main equipment of the navy, is a holy place in the eyes of military fans!
Shen Huan, as a native of Changxing, Jiangnan, has always been proud of this!
Ocean century, such a good era is coming, this is the opportunity for the rise of China's shipbuilding industry, but also the opportunity for all shipbuilders, to promote China to become the world's first shipbuilding power, but also every shipbuilder on the heavy responsibility, Shen Huan, the reborn, also feel that time is not waiting, we must speed up the speed of development.
In bursts of warm applause, Professor Zhang stepped off the podium.
At this time, the host of the forum, Academician Zhang Wenguang, vice chairman of the China Society of Naval Architecture and Naval Architecture, stepped onto the podium again and said with a smile: "Thank you Professor Zhang of the National Defense University for bringing us this wonderful speech!"
With his innocent heart of the old navy, with his profound knowledge, and humorous words, he made us fully feel a heavy responsibility!
Ingenuity builds dreams, the rise of a great power, this is the historical mission of all our shipbuilders!
“ After a pause, Academician Zhang Wenguang said meaningfully: "Next, the person who brought us a wonderful speech was a young shipbuilder, his name is Shen Huan, a young shipbuilding engineer from Jiangnan Changxing Shipbuilding of China Shipbuilding Industry Group, I believe that the leading experts here should have heard of his name, I will not introduce it much, and now I will invite Comrade Shen Huan to the stage!"
” Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Shen Huan strode towards the podium, and he was really under pressure at this time!
Although they are well prepared, it is really impossible for ordinary young people to give a speech in front of so many top experts.
