Chapter 517: Working hard for the strength of the motherland
On March 28, the mighty aircraft carrier formation returned.
Starting from March 11th to March 28th, the aircraft carrier formation operated at sea for 18 days. During this period, various training, air defense, anti-submarine, anti-ship, supply and other subjects were conducted. Fighters frequently flew on the aircraft carrier.
The surrender shows that this formation is definitely not a showpiece, but can rush to the front with real swords and guns.
The most outstanding among them is of course the aircraft carrier. The 001 aircraft carrier sails on the sea, which is extremely dazzling. Every time the carrier-based aircraft takes off and lands, it will appear on the TV screen, attracting attention.
There are also careful people who have observed that the models of carrier-based aircraft dispatched each time are different.
The first day is 1501 and 1502, the second day is 1508 and 1513, the third day is 1505 and 1515... As for there being only two aircraft each time, it is definitely not necessary. Let all the fighters fly out at once.
Then it is definitely necessary to take action.
Just two fighter planes taking off is enough to scare some people.
During this period, countless people were in high spirits and cheered for the strength of the motherland.
Now, the aircraft carrier formation is back!
The mighty aircraft carrier formation embarked on its return journey. Just before they arrived at the port, a helicopter flew over.
The helicopter landed on the wide deck of the aircraft carrier. A group of officers stood on the deck, lined up neatly, to greet the people who came off the aircraft.
The gray-haired Mr. Liu walked down. His health was a little weak, but he still straightened his back and looked at the officers saluting him. He also raised his right hand and returned a standard military salute to these people.
His eyes were full of joy.
"Mr. Liu, it's so windy on the sea, why did you come here in person?" Wu Shengli walked up and touched Mr. Liu's arm.
"Let go, I'm not old enough to need help. Why, you are only allowed to show off your muscles in the aircraft carrier, but you are not allowed to show me, an old man? Is it the same in the port as at sea?"
"Mr. Liu, let's go to the ship island first." Wu Shengli still held Mr. Liu's arm and gave him suggestions.
"No, I'll take a look at the carrier-based aircraft on the deck first."
"Everything on the deck is full of models." Wu Shengli said: "The two ones that can fly took off half an hour ago and flew directly back to the base of Wasteland Village."
This is also a common practice. When the aircraft carrier returns, the carrier-based aircraft will take off early to land airports. However, there are usually airports near naval ports, but now, they have to fly thousands of kilometers directly to the wasteland.
Village base.
"You did it on purpose, right?"
"No, it wasn't intentional. You didn't say hello in advance. You came just as you said you would. You caught us off guard."
There were only models left, and there was nothing to see. Mr. Liu could only follow Wu Shengli to the ship island.
"Mr. Liu, this is the elevator. You can take the elevator directly to the top." Wu Shengli took Mr. Liu directly to the elevator. Thanks to the fact that the elevator was working, otherwise Mr. Liu would have to climb the steps step by step.
"No, I'm going to walk around here first. I smell the smell of canned food."
Since the building below was still being renovated, a certain location on the first-floor island was temporarily used as a restaurant. Everyone ate canned food in there. The finished cans could not be thrown into the sea, so they could only be saved.
Over time, the smell will naturally develop inside.
It was very dirty and messy inside, and it was not good for Mr. Liu to see it.
However, looking at Mr. Liu's persistence, Wu Shengli knew that there was no point in trying to dissuade him. Mr. Liu had already thrown away his arm and walked in.
"It's so dirty and messy, it makes you laugh." Wu Shengli said.
As for Li Yan and others, they did not dare to speak. It was too embarrassing for Mr. Liu to see such an unbearable scene.
"You guys have been relying on canned food during this time?"
"Well, the aircraft carrier's kitchen hasn't been renovated yet, but it has a microwave and an induction cooker, so we can have hot food," Wu Shengli said.
"You guys have worked hard!" Mr. Liu sighed with emotion: "In order to support our motherland, you are suffering here. On my behalf..."
"Mr. Liu, please don't say that." Qin Tao finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Back then, the Red Army's Long March, climbing snow-capped mountains and crossing grasslands, was not as difficult as this? Even the belts were boiled and eaten. Later, in the Far East War, a mouthful of snow was eaten.
Why don’t we still defend our country with fried noodles? It’s good that we can eat these now. Although those times are gone, the spirit of hardship and simplicity must be passed down from generation to generation.”
Mr. Liu looked at Qin Tao with satisfaction: "Well said, well said. The spirit of hard work and simplicity can never be lost! Your Mingzhou Group has made great achievements this time. What reward do you want?"
Mr. Liu spoke!
Mr. Liu will never go back on the reward he promised Qin Tao. Whether it is the bidding for an air defense destroyer, the construction of a nuclear submarine, or even other benefits that the Mingzhou Group wants to obtain, he can ask for it.
If you want it, you can have it!
What does Qin Tao want?
Everyone is looking at him.
Qin Tao shook his head: "We don't want rewards, we just did what we should do. For our Mingzhou Group, or for all of us, what we want is a strong country. When we need
At any time, our navy can appear at any time. Whether it is pirates or a country encounters unrest and needs to evacuate its citizens, our navy can appear to prevent what happened to the Star from happening again."
Everyone's faces became serious.
If the motherland is to be strong, it needs a strong national defense and a strong navy! Everywhere in the world, whenever necessary, the navy can go up!
Qin Tao didn't ask for any reward, but he made the biggest request!
"If our great motherland and our great nation want to rejuvenate and rise, we need to have a strong national defense force. Our navy can't just hang around in the coastal waters. We must have strong maritime power to safeguard our interests at all times!" Liu
Lao said with emotion: "Our people need our powerful navy! However, this responsibility falls not only on our navy, but also on major shipbuilding plants such as your Mingzhou Group."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "We are willing to work hard for the strength of the motherland!" Qin Tao said.
"We are willing to work hard to make our motherland strong!" Others also said.
At this moment, everyone's hearts are burning with fire. They must continue to fight for the strength of the motherland. Everything now is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles!
The formation returned to the Mingzhou base in the afternoon. The base was already bustling with gongs and drums and colorful flags flying.
As for Qin Tao and others, they had already left in advance on Mr. Liu's helicopter. It would be better for the Mingzhou Group not to get involved in this kind of thing.
However, he couldn't avoid it.
After returning to Mingzhou Group, there were immediately a large number of people wanting to meet, and more than half of them were domestic and foreign reporters.
This aircraft carrier is so powerful and majestic!
Where did the aircraft carrier come from? Mingzhou Group provided it!
Therefore, if you want to cover first-class news, you must go to Mingzhou Group. In this way, countless people come to Mingzhou to get first-hand news reports.
There are too many secrets here. Wasn’t the aircraft carrier burned down at the beginning? How come it can be used again now?
Also, what happened to the carrier-based aircraft?
There are too many stories here, and they all want to dig up news materials.
"No, tell them that I haven't been feeling well lately." Qin Tao refused directly: "Besides, please guard the door so that no one can come in."
"Well, we also received a request from Football Country." Xu Zhengyang continued: "They plan to send a delegation to visit our Mingzhou Group in the near future."
Football country wants to come for inspection?
Qin Tao immediately became interested. The last trip to Latin America did not yield much, and Qin Tao was not discouraged. This kind of international arms cooperation would have been impossible to get orders easily. But this time, as the navy flexed its muscles,
, the football country is finally interested in the East!
This time we are going on a field trip.
"Okay, let's hold a press conference." Qin Tao said.
"Mr. Qin, have you changed your mind?"
"Yes, we have to show the outside world how powerful our Mingzhou Group is. By the way, we should report to the Navy in advance what can and cannot be said. The Navy will give us accurate information to save us from making a fuss."
"yes."
End of March, Mingzhou Guest House, Banquet Hall.
This banquet hall is large and can hold fifty tables of banquets at the same time. At this time, the banquet tables were removed and replaced with stools, which were filled with people.
Many people occupied various commanding heights in advance, deployed their spears and cannons, and aimed at the rostrum.
"Dear journalist friends, welcome to Mingzhou. Now, let me explain to you the history of our Mingzhou Group." Qin Baoshan, with a red face, came up first and started explaining eloquently.
As an old factory director, he has this qualification. The reporters below suppressed the urgency in their hearts and waited for Qin Baoshan to speak.
After Qin Baoshan finished speaking, it was replaced by Cong Ju. Cong Ju introduced the development of Mingzhou Group in civilian ships, especially natural gas ships, etc. With this explanation, an hour passed.
When the tempers of these reporters were about to be worn down, Qin Tao finally came on stage.
"Mr. Qin, what's going on with that aircraft carrier?"
"That's right. Were you the ones deceiving the whole world in the past?"
Some reporters started to make noise.
Qin Tao looked down: "I only have fifteen minutes. If you ask random questions, your time will be wasted in the end. If you keep quiet, I can introduce the situation of this warship."
It's quiet down below.
No one can make an appointment with Mr. Qin for an interview. Time is precious now and they cannot waste it.
"Okay, let me introduce it to you first. You can see that I am holding a special steel sample in my hand. It is called spherical flat steel."
Ball flat steel? Experts know it, but laymen may not know it.
They looked over and saw the uniquely shaped material. Judging from its cross-section, the head was spherical, the abdomen was flat, and the unique hole design was used. They didn't know what it was for.
"Ball flat steel is a very special material, mainly used for the maintenance of supporting parts such as keels." Qin Tao continued to introduce: "In the past, no domestic company could manufacture this kind of material, and all had to be imported. However,
, when the Dongfang Sea Fortress was burned down by some people using despicable methods, we were very angry, and we were also very self-reliant. We smelted this special material to use it for internal repairs of this warship."
Of course it was not a fraud at the time. Otherwise, the credibility of Mingzhou Group would be completely lost and the responsibility would have to be shifted to the other party.
We are righteous, and every action we take is forced!
"At that time, we were holding our breath. The more others did not let us do something, the more we must do it. We must crush the conspiracy of those with ulterior motives!" Qin Tao said: "It was also because of that incident that Chuang
Green Company abandoned the warship, so we were forced to complete the modification of the ship so as to minimize losses."
The reporter below suddenly realized that there was such an inside story!
"In our old words, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Of course, if you want it to be used as an aircraft carrier, there must be many projects to be transformed. Now, we are just making it an aircraft carrier platform.
, Moreover, it showed great power in the last operation, and we are confident that we can continue to transform and improve it."
Qin Tao has roughly explained the ins and outs of this warship. At this time, the reporters on the scene also realized that there are still these inside stories. Orientals will never give in. The more they are suppressed,
The more powerful you have to be!
"Excuse me, what's going on with your carrier-based aircraft?" A reporter below finally couldn't help it, broke the requirement not to ask questions, and started shouting.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is what happened to the aircraft carrier. The Mingzhou Group was very angry because it was deliberately set on fire, so it transformed the aircraft carrier itself, and it was also a real fighting machine.
.
But what about carrier-based aircraft?
What is the origin of that aircraft that looks very similar to the Su-33?
"In terms of carrier-based aircraft, our Mingzhou Group supports the J-31A project. I think everyone already knows it. However, this kind of aircraft is still under development, so we need an aircraft for emergency purposes for the time being. So
, we have developed an emergency replacement J-15 fighter jet. The related projects are the result of the hard work of our domestic 601 Research Institute and 112 Factory. I don’t know much about it. If you want to hear about the J-31A,
I can introduce you to him."
This time, it was not just the emergence of the aircraft carrier that shocked everyone, but also the matter of carrier-based aircraft!
What is the origin of the J-15 fighter jet?
north.
112 Factory.
Yemelyanov's face was extremely ugly. How could he be so stupid to believe Mr. Qin's words?
Mr. Qin was a good friend of Mr. Mao and had a close relationship with many people in Mr. Mao. When they were talking about it, Yemelyanov’s IQ was off the charts and he almost completely believed Mr. Qin’s words.
I helped provide those engines, what was the result?
The result is that those J-15 fighters are really going to be used on aircraft carriers!
The Orientals have taken the limelight, but what about our own side? Our side originally planned to export the complete engine directly. Only in this way can we make more money. If we only export a few engines, how much money can we make?
Yemelyanov couldn't bear it anymore and went directly to Li Ming.
"Li, you have gone too far. You actually copied our Su-33!"
Li Ming raised his head with confusion on his face: "What? Are you still struggling with this matter? Didn't you make it clear last time? Our J-15 fighter planes have absolutely nothing to do with your Sukhoi series fighters.
, is a brand new fighter aircraft developed by ourselves. Why don’t you still understand?”
"Brand new? It's obviously exactly the same as our Su-33!"
"You can't say that the same appearance means plagiarism." Li Ming said innocently: "Mr. Yemelyanov, we have a saying in the East that different paths lead to the same destination! If the appearance is the same, it only shows that the designers are heroes.
Same! The F-15 and the MiG-25 are very similar. Can you say that the F-15 is a copy of the MiG-25? Your Tu-16 bomber is also very similar to the American F-111 bomber. Are you copying it?
Where’s the American one?”
"How can it be!"
"Yes, you can tell it too. You can't say it's plagiarism based on the same appearance. I can assure you that the J-15 fighter is a newly developed fighter aircraft by us. It is the same as our Su-27 project, which is also the J-10.
A fighter plane has nothing to do with it." Li Ming patted his chest: "Please also stay sensible and don't be fooled by appearances. If this reason leads to tension in our relationship or even the suspension of the contract, then
It's such a pity, after all, we are the largest user of Sukhoi, and we plan to assemble two hundred fighters."
Yemelyanov was actually speechless at this moment.
Of course he knew that what the other party said had nothing to do with it and was just nonsense. The appearance of the Su-27 was unique in the world, but the other party's meaning was also very clear.
If you act like nothing has happened, then we can continue to cooperate. If you keep protesting here, then the cooperation will fail!
Factory 112 is already able to produce Su-27 airframes, but now only engines and avionics need to be imported.
However, after coming to Dongfang, Yemelyanov has already seen the strength of Dongfang. In terms of avionics, Dongfang is far better than them. Dongfang currently has a modern cockpit layout with one level and three levels.
The advanced airborne radar with flat-plate slot radar antenna is just a little bit inferior in the engine.
However, after the introduction of R-79, the engine gap will also be made up. In other words, if they are separated now, Dongfang can completely leave them alone and go it alone!
By then, they won't even be able to make money on engines and avionics accessories!
In the field of military industry, there is no such thing as patent rights. If you can copy it, that's your skill.
Yemelyanov felt as sick as if he had eaten shit. He wanted to get angry, but he still held back.
"We at Dongfang maintain close cooperation with you, especially in the field of engines. Many of our domestic fighter aircraft are using this engine, so we will place a new order in the future," Li Ming said.
: "We will continue to purchase the moisture-proof and salt-proof version of the AL-31F3 engine. It is estimated that we will need fifty units or even more. This is a big business."
Yemelyanov was even more disgusted. The other party actually wanted to continue production! He ordered engines from them so shamelessly. Should he agree?
There is no other choice. If they give up, then the opponent will turn around and use the turbofan 15, and they will not even be able to buy the third uncle!
Seeing Yemelyanov leaving, Li Ming showed a smile on his face. This set of rhetoric was taught to him by Mr. Qin. The effect was so good that even if the old man was defeated, he had to continue to be tough.
Scalp persists.
Interesting.
The 1502 has flown back and continues flight testing! In the future, this type of carrier-based aircraft will be mass-produced!
Mingzhou, Qin Tao, who finished the press conference, was a little tired. These reporters are all smart people. The questions they asked were tricky and weird. It seems that he is too kind. Next time, let others give the report.
I'll go on stage for four or five hours. Well, do you want to give them something to drink first and let them go to the toilet? You can't blame yourself if you miss your speech when you come back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "There is news from Mr. Qin's 601 Office, saying that Lao Maozi protested, but in the end he left helplessly." Xu Zhengyang said to Qin Tao with a smile.
The scene at that time.
Qin Tao nodded: "Old Maozi is very hurt inside. He no longer believes that there is true love in the world."
Xu Zhengyang couldn't bear it anymore and smiled brightly.
"Of course, this incident will also leave a shadow deep in Lao Maozi's heart. When he cooperates with us in the future, he will be more cautious."
"Do we still need to cooperate with Lao Maozi?" Xu Zhengyang asked curiously.
Yes, who makes 601 weak? After so many years, it still can't be fully understood. In the end, the country had to spend huge sums of money to purchase a batch of Su-35. However, Qin Tao didn't finish his sentence, but it was still in his mind.
Another thought came to mind.
There are still 611 schools!
The J-10 of the 611 Institute is making good progress. After completing the test flight, it is time to finalize and equip the troops. What next?
Mr. Song handed over the task of developing the two-seat J-10 to his most proud subordinates, and then led his team to start working on the J-20.
If the J-20 can appear as soon as possible, will the Su-35 be still needed?
You know, although the J-20 is a fourth-generation stealth aircraft, its ex-factory price is cheaper than the carrier-based J-15! If the J-20 is mass-produced and put into service, the orders for the Su-27 series fighters will definitely be huge.
The magnitude has shrunk.
Forget it, don't worry about it. I am a shipbuilder, not an airplane. Only with competition can we make progress.
"Visitors from football country will arrive in three days." Xu Zhengyang told Qin Tao the next news: "But they have made a request and want to see the aircraft carrier."
"Okay." Qin Tao actually agreed immediately.
Okay? Won’t this leak the secret?
Xu Zhengyang is a bit confused. If you agree, how can I communicate with the navy?
"The Navy hasn't paid for that aircraft carrier yet. The oil money for this trip was paid for by our group. What can the Navy say?" Qin Tao said confidently: "Of course, taking into account the mood of the Navy, let the aircraft carrier
We will stay at the Navy's port for a few more days. When the time comes, we will take the officers of the football country to the Navy's port to see. We will only look at the deck and other places. The Navy can refuse."
PS: When I wrote about Latin America earlier, someone raised an opinion: the military expenditures of football countries in the 1990s were not low! So the Heroes of East China checked it out, and took 1996 as an example, the military expenditures were 14 billion U.S. dollars, which is a real wealthy country.
Ah! But it is inconsistent with the facts: their army uses all junk, their air force still uses F-5E, and it has not been upgraded for decades, and the navy also picks up junk. I have never seen the navy.
Why spend money to buy an advanced aircraft carrier? People all over the world are buying second-hand junk, so I searched for information repeatedly and came to a jaw-dropping conclusion: Their military expenditures are mainly used to provide for the military. 10% of the military expenditures
Eighty percent of them are providing benefits to the military, and no more than 20% are used for military equipment!
