The more the country uses foreign troops, the more important it is to maintain internal stability. People who are not from our race must have different minds. To be honest, because he comes from later generations, Ouyang Yun's concept is actually very weak. This is why he was able to quickly accept the Jews and even the The reason why they are willing to open an independent residence in Guangzhou to accommodate Jewish refugees is that there is no doubt that Jews are a force worth uniting now and in the future. Because of the problems of the current system, China, at least the Xuebing Military Special Zone, also The conditions for truly absorbing the Jews have been met. However, the tree is still but the wind is not stopping. Because there are too many differences on the issue of Jewish statehood, and the Zionist Organization is based in the United States, conflicts are inevitable. Ouyang Yun believed in "I respect others as much as I respect them. If anyone offends me, I will strike first." Naturally, he could not tolerate the Jews dragging him back on issues of principle. Fortunately, Stern was the leader. The Jewish soldiers have a firm stance and have always stood firmly on the side of the Xuebingjun. Otherwise, the current Jewish settlements will never be just some of the several communities in the special zone as they are now, but may become something like a penal colony.
Ouyang Yun stayed in Guangzhou for a total of three days, and then went to Haikou for two days. Haikou is now the largest shipbuilding industrial base in China, with a total of nine shipyards, two of which have the ability to manufacture aircraft carriers. Ouyang Yun arrived While in Haikou, it happened that the hull construction of the third aircraft carrier independently designed and produced by China was completed. On the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the founding of the Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun was invited to participate in the launching ribbon-cutting ceremony.
It has only been more than two years since the "Hainan Island Strategy" planned by Yamamoto and Koizumi. At that time, Hainan Island was still a solemn scene of soldiers and soldiers. Now, because the South China Sea Fleet (formed by the merger of Haikou and Dongshan Fleets) has completely gained control of the South China Sea and adjacent waters. After controlling the sea, the Pacific Fleet also captured the Ryukyu Islands, so that Hainan Island was no longer in danger of being dragged into the war. Therefore, not only the people of Hainan Island now live and work in peace and contentment, but also thanks to the development of the shipbuilding industry, metallurgy industry and petroleum industry, the economy is quite prosperous, and it seems to have It has become the second most prosperous area in the Special Economic Zone outside Guangzhou.
"This is the No. 1 ship of the 'Kunlun Mountain-class' aircraft carrier. It is tentatively named 'Han Guangwu' according to the existing aircraft carrier naming rules. The ship has a design displacement of 67,500 tons and can carry 62 golden aircraft. It can carry three helicopters; if it is a Baiji, it can carry ninety-eight. The ship's cruising speed..." Accompanying Ouyang Yun and standing above the dock to explain was Chen Mingsheng, a ship designer trained by Xue Bingjun himself. After Chen Mingsheng assisted Lu Hanni in Karachi to complete the transformation of the British Enemy-class aircraft carrier, he accumulated a certain amount of experience in aircraft carrier design and manufacturing, and then returned to Haikou Shipyard as the director and chief designer. Now he is one of the nine shipyards in Haikou. Except for three private or public-private joint ventures, all others are managed by him.
Including those still under construction in the dock, Xuebingjun currently designs and produces a total of six aircraft carriers. Except for the one that is already in service, which is a small aircraft carrier with a displacement of only more than 30,000 tons, the others are all "Kunlun Mountain" aircraft carriers. "class" fleet aircraft carrier, Ouyang Yun listened to him quietly and asked: "The engines are still imported from the United States."
Chen Mingsheng nodded and said with a hint of regret: "We do not yet have the ability to manufacture large engines. After all, this requires considerable technical accumulation."
"There is no rush. As long as we can win the battle on the battlefield, we will have plenty of time and opportunity."
"Sir, I heard that we will not produce aircraft carriers until the ones under construction are completed." Chen Mingsheng hesitated and asked suddenly.
Designing and producing aircraft carriers is a very challenging and honorable job for Chen Mingsheng. Currently, the Xuebing Army has a total of four aircraft carriers under construction, among which the one at the Karachi Shipyard is about to be launched. Here in Haikou, another shipyard's aircraft carrier will soon be launched. In other words, there are actually only two ships currently under construction. According to Chen Mingsheng, once these two ships are launched, China will no longer build aircraft carriers.
An aircraft carrier alone cannot become an effective combat force. It must also be paired with a certain number of cruisers, submarines and frigates (destroyers). From this perspective, building an aircraft carrier is actually equivalent to building a fleet.
The news that the aircraft carrier under construction will no longer be built after it is completed actually involves military secrets. However, because Chen Mingsheng has already proven his loyalty to the military academy and the country, Ouyang Yun did not care where Chen Mingsheng knew this. Instead, he asked: "Why, do you think our aircraft carriers are not enough?"
"No, no, it's just that every time I see a ship I participated in the design being launched, I feel happy, haha, especially a giant ship like an aircraft carrier."
Ouyang Yun can understand Chen Mingsheng's mood, because he will feel the same when he sees the student army getting stronger and stronger, but because building an aircraft carrier fleet is too expensive and the subsequent maintenance costs are also considerable. It is very expensive. As the head of the coalition government, he has to consider the issue of "cost-effectiveness" to decide the specific number of aircraft carriers in active service.
How many aircraft carriers does China need? If it is just to protect the established territory, six will be enough, but this definitely does not include the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Does China need to maintain military deterrence in the Pacific and Indian Oceans? The answer is yes, yes. Taking the history of that time and space as a guide, Ouyang Yun never wants to see China import oil, iron ore and other resources from abroad in the future, but it will depend on other countries. Moreover, with China's current industrial strength, it will definitely become a first-class country after the war. As a major exporting country, it will face another problem, how to ensure that other countries open their markets to China. Considering these factors, it is necessary to maintain at least twelve aircraft carriers or even more.
In fact, not only aircraft carriers, but also the number of troops should be taken into consideration. In that time and space, Ouyang Yun once superficially understood the US military's "peacekeeping" everywhere as Americans were used to being hooligans and liked to show off their power. But now he knows that the reason why the United States can maintain The status of the world's most powerful country is because it has the world's most powerful military power.
Chen Mingsheng's words aroused his thoughts in this regard, and seeing him lost in thought, Chen Mingsheng thought that his question had made the junior officer unhappy, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
A few minutes later, when Liu Kui came over and reported to Ouyang Yun that the ribbon-cutting ceremony was ready, Ouyang Yun woke up from his thoughts and said, "It's time to cut the ribbon. Okay, Gong Chen and I will go down right away, Gong Chen, Walk."
Ouyang Yun's words and deeds remained the same as before. Chen Mingsheng felt relieved, and then suddenly came to this realization: "The little chief officer is getting bigger and bigger, and his power is becoming more and more powerful."
But he didn't want to think about how many problems Ouyang Yun had to think about every day and how much energy he expended because of the chair he was sitting on.
