Chapter 323 Plan of aircraft carrier

It is another new day. The winter sun brings warmth. Due to the adjustment of the industrial structure and the Navy's large-scale construction plan, members of the Ancient Chinese Society are relatively busy.

Just today, many relevant project leaders are coming to the Cangkong Hall club for a work exchange. Tan Renhao was surprised to find that in just a few months, Zhong Yang had opened a new Cangkong Hall chain hotel branch in Dongguan.

I bought two stores on both sides and the garden behind, and set up more than a dozen private rooms with elegant environments around the garden. Here, everyone was a guest of honor. Even if he didn't say hello, the two were still taken to a private room. As before, no one ordered dishes, and the manager here was also an acquaintance from the headquarters. He knew what to serve, and no one came to disturb them.

"Try it. Several chefs came to the hotel, and their skills were very good. I came here to taste it last time. These are famous dishes from various places."

Zhong Yang naturally would not be polite, and he was indeed very hungry. When he left the Navy Headquarters, he was very hungry, but he delayed for more than an hour on the road. Seeing so many delicious dishes in front of him, his appetite was naturally greatly boosted.

Liu Haoran and Chen Ze also looked like they were eating voraciously, and they didn't taste inferior to Zhong Yang at all. Soon, a few people wiped out more than half of the food. The waiter brought tea and then went out.

Hualian's Navy headquarters is located in Humen, and the gathering place for everyone is located in the city of Dongguan. Today, the gatherings are all core members of the ancient Chinese Association, familiar with each other, so in terms of the atmosphere, it also seems relaxed and natural, and there are not many rules.

"How is it, it tastes really good, right? "

Chen Ze nodded repeatedly: "It's very good. It seems that Boss Zhong's business is getting more and more prosperous, so he naturally needs to find a way to attract more customers, and the taste of the meal will be further improved."

"That's right, while expanding the scale, we also need to pay attention to improving the quality." Liu Haoran took out the cigarette quickly: "This is the same principle as the development of our Hualian naval, but the direction we are heading is different."

When everyone was speechless when they heard Liu Haoran bringing the topic to the development of the navy again, they also felt that Liu Haoran's words made sense.

It can be said that for hundreds of years, the navy has been following the elite military path, which is completely opposite to the army. Even during many wars, the scale of the navy did not expand rapidly, which is related to the actual situation of the navy. The training of fleet officers and soldiers is more than ten times that of army infantry, and it also requires a large amount of infrastructure.

This is also the fundamental reason why the navy had to take the elite route. Not to mention other things, in order to provide the fleet with enough aircraft carrier officers and soldiers and carrier-based aircraft pilots, the Imperial Navy had to place the Python-class aircraft carrier that had just been secretly manufactured on the second line to use it as a training ship.

The problem of building new warships is actually not very difficult with the help of smart factories. What really restricts the development of the Hualian Navy is the training and development of qualified naval soldiers, which is unhurried.

"However, things are getting better, and at least after June this year, our days will not be as tight as we do."

"Yang, does Wang Liwen have the idea of ​​expanding the fleet?" Although Chen Ze is not the organizer of the warship, he also has a lot of business dealings with Liu Haoran's shipbuilding company. He saw the clues in his equipment sales report.

Zhong Yang first looked at Liu Haoran, then smiled: "What do you think?"

"Me?" Chen Ze didn't want to answer this question: "I can't see clearly this clearly, just say it, don't catch my appetite."

"Think about it carefully, according to the latest Parliamentary Annual Budget, how much has the military purchase negotiations saved for the Navy during this period?"

The information was discussed in March on the annual fiscal review of the parliamentary to be held. Chen Ze thought: "If the negotiations with ammunition manufacturers go well, they may not save 1 billion as originally estimated, but 800 million should be there. Even if it is a little less, it should be between 600 million and 700 million."

"So, what about the military expenditure of our Hualian this year?"

"This is more than 1 billion more than we expected." Tan Renhao looked at Gan Yongxing in surprise, "You mean, the head of state is going to use all this money to expand the scale?"

"Of course it's impossible. In fact, we don't have that much extra money, and we have to consider other additional expenses." Zhong Yang dipped his finger with some wine and then drew it on the table: "First of all, the 5.5 billion military expenditure is impossible to fully account. The 31-year secret expenditure will expand the funds by at least twice. Some of them should have been included in the government's fiscal expenditure, but it is too difficult to make the accounting, so it was divided into the military expenses of the navy and the army. We are pretty good."

Hualian's current economic output value is only 27 billion Huayuan, and the amount used for military expenditure is as high as one-quarter. If it were not for the implementation of the planned economic system, the overall mobilization and large-scale adjustments in the industry, this would have been a military force that shakes the foundation of the country.

The Army bears most of the secret expenses, followed by the personnel allowances. According to the standards, the allowances of many officers and soldiers must be increased, which is also a considerable expense. There are also procurement expenses that cannot be determined, such as ammunition. If the Chinese army launches several large-scale campaigns this year, the expenditure will not be reduced.

There are also the expenses for maintenance costs, which is definitely not a small amount, and is much more budgeted than the current budget of the China Economic and Economic Union and the Parliament. Therefore, Li Wansheng, the head of government, must prepare a mobile fund in the last year of his term of office to make up for the loopholes and vacancy in the second half of this year.

"So how much money can we actually put in to expand the fleet?"

"Not too much, but not too little." Speaking of this, Liu Haoran couldn't help but speak, and even made a mysterious look: "I roughly calculated that it may be difficult to exceed 500 million, but it will not be less than 400 million."

Even if it was so listened, everyone present gasped. Even if it was 400 million, it would be a huge sum of money.

According to the current naval fleet organization standards, the cost of a three-aircraft carrier special-mix fleet is only about 150 million yuan. After the purchase price this year is reduced, it is likely to be controlled to be around 100 million yuan. In other words, this 400 million yuan fund is enough for the Navy to arm four special-mix fleets, that is, twelve aircraft carrier battle groups.

"Does the cabinet have any plans?" Chen Ze knew that Li Wansheng was actually the chess piece in Zhong Yang's hand. Rather than asking the cabinet for opinions, it was better to ask Zhong Yang's opinions indirectly, but he still had to take care of Li Wansheng's Russian identity in the face.

"There is no plan, there must be an idea. Have you read the report at the meeting? The head of Shaozi has basically agreed to purchase the first batch of six "Jiao"-class aircraft carriers at the beginning of this year, on the surface, to maintain the periodic vacancies of shipbuilding at the six major shipyards. In fact, this is part of the Navy's expansion plan."

Chen Ze and Liu Haoran both nodded slightly. It was because they saw this that they thought that the Navy would expand. Moreover, the business revenue here must be related to the three major groups, and Zhong Yang did not need to avoid it when he spoke.

"In addition, there are a large number of orders for other large warships, or pre-order orders, which will definitely be issued at the end of this year." Zhong Yang laughed: "Don't be so serious, we're just talking casually. These things have not been confirmed yet. Most of them are just the thoughts of the head of state and me."

This is actually nonsense. Who doesn’t know that the cabinet is in the hands of the ancient Chinese Society? The ancient Chinese Society is in the hands of Zhong Yang. The people present listened to his words very carefully.

"The new generation of heavy cruisers has been designed and basically improved on the basis of the 'snake' class. The performance has been improved compared with the 'snake' class, but it is not obvious. The Navy headquarters has not yet decided whether to purchase it. It is mainly because Chen Yongshan, who is equipped with the technical office, feels that the performance improvement is not enough and has not met the requirements of the Navy. He is asking Kunpeng Shipyard to modify it. He will probably come up with a new design plan in April this year. If Chen Yongshan can pass the 'straight', then we can place an order in the middle of this year."

"Major Chen is just too rigid and is very strict with everything." When Zhong Yang heard Chen Yongshan criticizing him, most of them smiled knowingly. This is not disgust, on the contrary, Zhong Yang attaches great importance to Chen Yongshan's ability and character. This person is a qualified military logistics procurement person.

"This is also necessary. Without Major Chen's inspection, we would probably not be able to be forced to develop so many excellent warships, right?"

Liu Haoran laughed: "After this new cruiser is put into production, it will definitely be ordered in large quantities. Because we really lack enough escort warships now. In addition, Kunpeng Shipyard is still developing an enlarged version of the 'python' class recently."

"Destroyer?" Chen Ze was stunned. "It's not just another similar destroyer. The 'python' class displacement is 15,000 tons, and its performance in all aspects is enough to meet our needs. If it is an escort alone, then a smaller destroyer is enough and the price is cheaper."

After all, he is not the main organizer of naval warship manufacturing, so he is not very familiar with the specifications of the new warship, so he has such questions.

"It's not destroyers, but light cruisers, and the main sales targets are not the Hualian Navy, but the ** government's navy." Liu Haoran also looked excited: "We have always used large destroyers to replace light cruisers, and the actual effect is not bad. However, Jiang Ruiyuan does not have as much military expenditure as us. They have been trying to obtain warships that are stronger than destroyers, have enough combat power to cope with demand, and are cheaper than cruisers. A few months ago, Song Ziwen sent someone to contact us, hoping to use our excess warship production capacity to produce a light cruiser that can meet their needs."

"What is Kunpeng Shipyard doing in Humen?"

"Yes, the design will be completed around March next year, and the Navy of the ** government will place an order soon. The head of state asked Major Chen to send someone to Fuzhou Shipyard some time ago to see their detailed design plan. If the performance is indeed good and the price is low, we will also purchase a batch. Of course, it has been optimized and the performance is better."

Liu Haoran nodded slightly. He realized on the battlefield that the light cruiser that has always been complained about by the Hualian Navy can meet combat needs to a large extent.

For example, when dealing with the island country in the eastern coast, the Japanese light cruisers were in great threat. Once a naval battle occurred, neither aircraft carriers of both sides could be sent to the battlefield and could only organize artillery fleet operations.

The main force of the West Sea Fleet is light cruisers, while the destroyers of the Hualian Navy are at a disadvantage when facing the Japanese light cruisers, and it is easy to fight against Japanese destroyers. Because the ** government did not know that the Hualian destroyers were all equipped with anti-ship missiles, they thought they were just ordinary destroyers.

Heavy cruisers are generally included in the main fleet, so in some non-main fleets, it is indeed necessary to have a battleship that is slightly stronger than large destroyers but is extremely cheap and can play the role of flagships. The best choice is the light cruiser.

"In addition, the construction work of the python level will definitely continue. Maybe, the 'snake' level will be comprehensively upgraded to improve combat capabilities. The construction work of the 'Jiao' level will definitely be accelerated, and it will be built according to the second phase improvement plan, mainly to strengthen the missile's strike capability and focus on building some improved models..."

These are the general contents of future shipbuilding plans. Liu Haoran listed a large number of battleship construction plans. He finally said: "Maybe when will Zhong Yang think about it? He will start construction of battleships again."

"Why build a battleship?"

"Because the United States and Japan are also building more powerful battleships, especially the design of Japan's new battleships has been completed. From a long-term perspective, we must not be surpassed by the Japanese Navy, even if it is technically surpassed."

Yi Zhongming kept listening, but now he frowned and began to say, "The Japanese artificial warships have good technology, but their shipbuilding capabilities..."

This is not slander or underestimation, but Japan's current industrial capacity and economic strength seem to have such strength.

"This is not important. Naval competitions have to compete for both quantity and quality. At present, some people in the Japanese navy have begun to propose designing a larger tonnage super battleship, and the design will definitely undergo several modifications before and after the design. The final design performance will definitely be even more terrifying. Even if the displacement reaches 60,000 tons, should we try to pull the gap back?"

Liu Haoran always had a special liking for giant cannons, but Zhong Yang was unwilling to vigorously develop the research on super battleships and naval guns. Instead, he focused his main energy on the "small ribs" among naval ships - aircraft carriers and destroyers.

Faced with Liu Haoran's mumbling, Zhong Yang was also amused and cried, so he had to give him a promise here: "If the production capacity is overcapacity, I will not oppose the construction of several battleships of about 30,000 tons, but the main weapon must be designed in a mode of attacking with missiles. Even if the electronic aiming correction equipment such as fire control radar is installed, the long-range hit rate of the naval gun will not exceed 30. This kind of thing can only be used to scare people, and it is useless."

"If the United States built the imagined Montana class battleship, we will definitely not be our opponent by relying solely on the Jiao-class battleship. At that time, we will need a better main battleship. If we do not start the design of a new battleship immediately, we may have to use other battleships to deal with this kind of sea monster when needed."

Although it was only in 1931, the US Navy had already begun to operate in a small amount of business and realized the gap between it and the Japanese Navy and began to fantasize about a terrible sea fortress.

Just now, this super battleship, which is only a speculative super battleship proposed by a few people, has a displacement of up to 45,000 tons.

If the war breaks out soon, the data in this conjecture will probably continue to double. Even when facing anti-ship missiles, powerful armor protection capabilities can support a lot of time. With the US warship production capacity, it will not be beneficial to Hualian if it is consumed.

Although the United States will not have a military conflict with the Hualian League at present, this kind of hypothetical enemy analysis is necessary. It is indeed necessary to develop a large surface warship with powerful capabilities. In fact, what Liu Haoran thought was not narrow, but saw the advantages of large surface ships in naval warfare.

"How is the new aircraft carrier of the US military?" Zhong Yang asked a question he was interested in.

"New aircraft carrier?" Zhou Hua was clear about this. He smiled and shook his head: "It is probably an enlarged version of the 'Sex', which is mainly to strengthen survivability and increase the ability of the aircraft carrier to resist strikes by increasing the displacement. However, I heard that the United States has also developed some new technologies, and I don't know if it was stolen from us. In terms of overall performance, it should be even worse than our "Jiao" class. As long as the "Jiao" class can be put into service at the end of next year, our aircraft carrier advantage will become quite obvious."

Zhou Hua said that the United States steals Hualian's warship technology, which is naturally a joke, but it is also a reminder to everyone that the naval technology of the great powers is also constantly improving. The emphasis on aircraft carriers is not just Hualian.

The country far away from the ocean also began to turn its attention to the development of aircraft carrier technology. But no matter what, if the new "Jiao"-class aircraft carrier with a displacement of 23,000 tons can be officially launched, the Chinese army's maritime combat effectiveness will be greatly improved.

Hearing this, the people present nodded slightly. The most obvious advantage of the Hualian Navy is the missile and aircraft carrier, and this is the fundamental force that the Hualian Navy can control the sea power of the five oceans in the near future.

From Zhou Hua's words, Zhong Yang also felt that when military spending is not a problem and even a large amount of savings, the Hualian Navy will definitely expand its scale and build more warships, which is also the guarantee of winning the final victory.

In this chaotic era, only the navy can protect its bright future, which is the hope of the entire country and nation.
