At the invitation of the US Navy, the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet, which set sail from Constanta Base in Romania, sent a carrier submarine to visit the US Norfolk Naval Base to conduct a military diplomacy. China's history of military diplomacy is actually very short.

It was not until 192 that the Navy visited other countries with warships. However, with Qi Yiming's weight and strength, the Navy had a lot of wealth to show off, so the Navy visited the ports of several countries every year. On the one hand, it conducted diplomacy.

On the other hand, the event is like the whole world showing its strength

For example, this time, the large expeditionary fleet, on the way back, the Navy organized an aircraft carrier fleet headed by the Shandong nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and visited Greece, Yugoslavia, Italy, Algeria, Portugal and other countries. The last stop was the United States' No. 1

Folk Naval Base.

The Americans invited the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet to visit, which was definitely bad intentions. In particular, the aircraft carrier, the Shandong, was something that suddenly appeared. People have been paying attention to the Hebei built by the Dalian Shipyard, and believe that it is China's first.

The aircraft carrier, but when the Shandong was put on the battlefield, people exclaimed that China had left a hand.

With such an idea, people will not only extend it again, but will they still have a few more hands after leaving one move? Just in terms of naval theory, the threat of the Chinese navy is now much greater than that of the Soviet Red Navy. The Soviet Union's route in the development of the navy

There was a situation where there was a wrong technology tree on it, but China is no longer just a problem of following the pace of the United States. They are even at the forefront of the world in many fields.

For example, in terms of the application of the ASCHS, China has the largest ASCHS in the world. In the United States, when one of the Ticonderoga-class cruisers could only provide air defense umbrellas to the fleet, China already had a 056

The lineup with 2-052s provides more impeccable air defense capabilities. For example, the stealth design of the hull and the low detectability make the whole world build similar warships.

Taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union and the crisis of Russian civil war, China has brought air carriers from Russia with calamity and deception. The number of Chinese aircraft carriers is rapidly approaching the United States, making Americans feel at the same time as self-admiration, and they are also interested in the pursuers behind them.

Fear. In particular, all China's ships are particularly new. In addition to the two modified amphibious assault ships purchased, the main active battleships of the Chinese Navy may be less than ten years old. From 192, the Chinese Navy

With explosive growth, a huge fleet of possible tonnage of nearly one million tons was built in six or seven years. This production capacity was only available in the United States during World War II.

The United States has accumulated many years to save its wealth, so it can't help but worry about these things. If China continues to grow at this rate, then it may take ten years to accept that the Chinese navy will have to accept that the Chinese navy will be in terms of strength and they are in terms of strength.

On an equal footing.

At the Norfolk Naval Base, Virginia, the US Navy is in a well-equipped and in groups of warships, welcoming the "allies" from afar. Since China's aircraft carrier fleet is invited to visit, the Americans will not let the Chinese be more beautiful than before. Norfolk

There are now air carriers in the base, namely the Kitty Hawk-class American, Kennedy, the Nimitz-class Nimitz and Eisenhower. There are more than ten large amphibious ships in this naval base, and more than twenty

cruisers and destroyers, several frigates, and several attack nuclear submarines

Zhang Lingzhong, the fleet commander standing on the Shandong aircraft carrier, smiled at his colleagues at the left and right naval forces and said, "The Americans want to give us a warning. The huge US Navy has 14 aircraft carriers in service, and in order to welcome us, four were used specifically.

.”

A naval staff member snorted coldly with some emotion: "The Americans must have deliberately asked us to visit Norfolk. Our navy has performed well over the years. The Americans feel the threat and want us to see that our might is still there.

ah"

Zhang Lingzhong was not very shocked and angry, but just smiled and said, "So what if we see it? Then again, even if this is the battlefield, we are at a disadvantage in scale, and we will still fight. Our revolutionary navy has been inferior to the older generation of equipment and training.

The fearless spirit that comes when it is insufficient should not be forgotten now. Even if a fleet has a good ship, it cannot win a battle without a brave sailor or competent commander. When Americans are still immersed in their huge

When it comes to size and scale, our navy is already studying new tactics and tactics, and has the fighting will to fight, win, and face difficulties. This is the integrity and persistence of our Chinese navy.

The commander's words won the approval of all naval officers and soldiers. When the Chinese naval fleet was painted with a slightly shallower, the Shandong aircraft carrier brought a cruiser, two destroyers and a frigate, and an attack nuclear submarine entered Norfolk.

At that time, the naval officers and soldiers held a standing ritual, and their full mental state was like a flying naval flag, which impressed the US Navy standing in the port.

US Navy Secretary Frank Tulsau felt a stern heart and said, "It's indeed a fleet that has just fought. Even if it's so far away, you can feel a terrible feeling without even seeing the face of a human being.

Rear Admiral Grini was quite disdainful and said, "Our young men are constantly teaching their enemies all year round. If we talk about evil spirits, we may scare the Chinese to death."

Kelso shook his head and said, "But we have never fought with the Russians, or our decision makers did not have the courage to compete with the Russian enemies from the beginning, but the Chinese have it, and they won."

Grini still argued: "Today's Russia? A navy that even her stomach is hungry. The Chinese picked up soft persimmons and pinched them."

Kelso no longer spoke. As the Secretary of Navy Operations, he naturally would not look down on his enemies, but would magnify the advantages of the enemy. The Chinese Navy is indeed new and tender compared to the US Navy, but the US Navy was back then.

Compared with the British Empire's navy, the US military's ship design level, armed firepower and personnel quality were far inferior to the British Royal Navy. However, first, it built a large naval fleet with its own industrial capabilities, and then continued to

Blood and fire battles increase experience, and the US Navy is now unique.

Kelso cannot be sure whether China will copy the same road. They are also building ships on a large scale and appearing in various seas with naval conflicts. Judging from the situation in recent years, the Chinese Navy has fought.

There are more battles than the US Navy, especially based on the number of sunk ships. The Chinese Navy has completely outgrown the US Navy in recent years.

The United States is now trying its best to learn more about China's military power. In addition to the traditional way of spies obtaining intelligence, the US military has also increased its reconnaissance of China's military assets. Last week, a US military took off from the Philippines,

The South China Sea, the "international waters" (the US believes) were conducting reconnaissance activities, so naturally a "ally" fighter jet came to accompany him soon.

A B14CN Tomcat fighter stationed in Hainan made the US Navy pilot open his eyes and clearly identify the Bayi Red Star logo on the fuselage before he realized that this was a Chinese fighter. The pilot of this Tomcat was also in the public very warmly.

The channel chatted with E- crew members in English for a while, discussing which tropical fruit is better, and inviting American friends to come to China for a meal when they have time. The entire process of this B14CN without bullets is about 100 meters away from the US aircraft.

It was not until E-cannot hold on to this pressure that he returned.

Everyone tacitly announced this kind of activity and was not announced in the media. However, the Americans have generally tested the air defense alert area that the Chinese have not announced. After entering a certain range, the Chinese planes will take off and follow them.

If you warn, you will not expel it, you will just fly with you. Although these Chinese fighter jets intercept large patrol aircraft and anti-submarine aircraft will not mount bullets, the Americans do not believe that there are no shells in their cannons.

In order to obtain more information, the Americans used the excuse of enhancing military and diplomatic exchanges, hoping to visit and understand China's warships through such occasions. For example, this time, the Americans boarded China's strongest aircraft carrier for the first time, 62

type.

Although not allowed to take photos, most non-confidential cabins are allowed to visit the US. From combat ministers like Kelso to some selected ordinary sailors, they all have the honor to have been on this Chinese aircraft carrier for an hour.

Long.

After the visit, a meeting was held within the US Navy. Major General Grini said with a lip voice: "This aircraft carrier doesn't look very good, it's not as good as the enterprise level."

The 62 type is indeed not as big as the enterprise-class in tonnage, and is the same size as the Kitty Hawk-class. However, Kelso said: "To be fair, this aircraft carrier is not designed badly. It has everything it should have, and there are no obvious flaws.

From the perspective of the command management system, the degree of electronic informatization is not even comparable to that of the Washington, which we just served. The Chinese seem to be very good at electronic combat and informatization command."

Kelso analyzed to his subordinates: "And we thought that the Chinese would only let us look at some living rooms, but the Chinese actually had the courage to let us look at the hangar, the battle situation center is so important

Departments show that the Chinese are very confident about their weapons, and the most important characteristic of a navy is self-confidence. If one day the Chinese become an opponent of the United States, they may be a difficult and respectable enemy."

Another US Navy general said: "The Chinese are very bold in the application of new technologies. I doubt where they got so much money. This aircraft carrier has short-range end defense missiles used with near-defense guns, and we

The RIMl6 has just entered service this year. Their bridge is covered with active phased array radars similar to ASUS, which shows that the detection distance of this aircraft carrier will be quite far and its reaction ability will never be slow.
