I built an armada

Chapter 108 Hope comes true! We lived up to your expectations!

"Quick, quick, let's start entering!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and immediately, countless people rushed towards the entrance.

"Quick, quick, come this way." Zhao Haikuo shouted towards Wang Xin.

After a while, the three of them followed the large army into the infield.

As everyone continued to approach the port, small and medium-sized ships came into view.

Missile boats, fast landing crafts... multifunctional supply ships.

In the distance, several large main battle warships can barely be seen.

In front of every ship and warship and on the deck, there are naval officers and soldiers with loaded guns standing. They all stand there with solemn expressions and sharp eyes.

These are all old tricks of the Navy. Military fans have seen them countless times and are not too excited.

But watching the warships in person was quite shocking. Especially when they saw those naval soldiers at close range, the high-spirited momentum on their bodies moved them quite a bit.

In contrast, many ordinary people who came to join in the fun made exclamations of admiration.

"My lord! What kind of warship is this? It looks so powerful!"

"It looks like it's called a missile boat. It's said to be pretty cool!"

"Look, there are quite a few! 1, 2, 3...7, that's quite a lot."

"This is where we are. If you look at the larger warships further away, it would be shocking!"

"Oh! It seems that our navy is quite powerful!"

Ordinary people can't understand the pros and cons, but they instinctively feel that it's great.

With such a powerful navy, no wonder there has been a lot of peace and stability in the sea in the past two years.

The military fans on the side listened to their words with mixed feelings.

All stability and peace are obtained at the cost of the lives of naval officers and soldiers. In sea areas unknown to ordinary people, the battle is always more brutal than imagined.

The Mekong incident was exposed, but how many others were not exposed?

Military fans don’t dare to think too deeply.

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"I'm Cao! Isn't that brother donating money!"

When everyone heard the sound, they looked over and saw Yu Lai also walking over, led by two naval officers and soldiers.

Many people were surprised to see Yu Lai's entry method being so different.

"Who is he? Why was he escorted here by navy officers and soldiers?"

"Huh? Why does it look familiar! I feel like I've seen it somewhere before!"

"Not to mention, he looks familiar! I remember seeing him on the news once."

If you know the situation, tell him immediately.

"What, your donating brother doesn't know?"

"Donate money brother? What do you mean?"

"The last time the Navy unveiled the 956E, someone came all the way from Henan to the scene and donated money to the Navy, hoping that the Navy would build its own modern warship!"

As soon as these words came out, more and more people reacted.

"Oh my God! Why does he look so familiar? It turns out it's him!"

"Good guy, I can actually see the money-donating brother here!"

"Speaking of which, after that day, some big names in the Iron Blood Network also launched an initiative to donate money to build warships. However, they were stopped by the authorities..."

"Hey, brother donating money! I remember you!"

"Brother Donate Money, let's have a meal together at noon."

Everyone waved their hands and called to Yu Lai. Yu Lai, who was always honest, suddenly turned red in the face.

The last time he came to give money, he didn't think much about it, he just wanted to do his little bit.

Appearing here again, he suddenly became the center of attention.

He also runs a supermarket at home, and he has never seen a scene where thousands of people are shouting, and his heart is beating like crazy.

"I..." After holding it in for a long time, he choked out: "Hello everyone."

"Brother Donate Money, let's take a photo together later!"

"Brother donating money, please sign your name for me."

"Brother donate money..."

Yu Lai was at a loss as he was surrounded by the crowd.

For many years, no one knew about opening a supermarket, but once he donated money, the whole world knew about it.

"Welcome to visit my hometown in Henan."

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

As everyone entered the infield, the Navy usher responsible for receiving them strode over.

"Hello everyone, I am responsible for receiving you."

"Next, I will introduce to you the warships currently in service in our navy. Please follow me."

Everyone followed the guide and listened to the guide's detailed introduction.

The instructor led everyone forward while introducing the basic information about the relevant ships.

Of course, he never mentioned the core secrets.

As they continued to advance, the military fans present also saw it.

The navy has taken out all its assets and vowed to return to the public's sight.

After the ship introduction, we arrived at the frigate.

The old frigates did not appear, and the only frigate that could barely support the scene was 053H3.

"What you see now is our independently developed 053H3 frigate. In many sea missions, the 053H3 frigate..."

"This larger 052 guided-missile destroyer was also independently developed by our navy... and has played an indelible role in many sea-destroy missions."

"As for this warship." Pointing to the larger warship not far away, the conductor said: "Everyone must have heard about it. Yes, it is the modern-class guided missile destroyer that was unveiled in Zhejiang before - 956E!"

As soon as they heard 956E, everyone suddenly couldn't walk, and everyone looked straight at the warship.

If the rumors are true, then this 956E is a meritorious ship that participated in major naval battles.

Listening to the guide's introduction, the bearded man who had been chatting in the crowd suddenly shouted.

"Comrade, why is this a modern warship? I heard before that our navy also has a 051B under development! Why doesn't it appear here?"

After hearing this, the military fans present immediately reacted.

At the beginning of last year, they heard rumors on the Iron Blood Network that the Navy was studying the next generation of the retired 051 guided missile destroyer-051B. Moreover, great progress has been made and it will be launched by the end of the year at the latest.     This is April 00, 4. If you can get into the water, you should appear here.

Since it didn't appear, it means... the actual test failed.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts couldn't help but sink.

Thinking of what the bearded man had said before, everyone felt heavy.

Even the 051B has not yet been released. It is tantamount to wishful thinking to develop a more advanced modern warship. After all, news of 051B spread long before 956E arrived.

The bearded man was obviously very anxious. Seeing that the conductor didn't reply to him, he couldn't help but ask again.

The instructor was also very embarrassed, 051B, where is the 051B now?

The improved 051C is currently performing missions on the sea with the 052B.

At this moment, Zhao Haikuo suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.

"Look, what is that!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked around, only to see a warship parked behind 956E.

The whole body of the warship was covered by an oversized dark red curtain. For a while, it couldn't be seen clearly, and only the outline of the warship could be vaguely seen.

Since 956E is larger and has a more famous name, after everyone heard "956E", all their attention was focused on 956E and did not notice the slightly smaller warship behind.

"Everyone, Colonel Zhang Zhaoxin will introduce it to you in detail next!"

While talking, Zhang Zhaoxin, dressed in military uniform, strode over.

As soon as Zhang Zhaoxin appeared, there was a burst of cheers from the scene.

"Colonel Zhang, I saw you on TV!"

"Colonel Zhang, I have to call the program team of "Military Intelligence One-on-One" next week. Can you connect to my line then?"

Since Zhang Zhaoxin has been appearing on the "Military Intelligence One-on-One" program these days, almost everyone at the scene knows him.

Just like on TV, Zhang Zhaoxin had a warm smile on his face and waved to everyone.

"Good morning everyone, since everyone knows me, I won't introduce myself too much."

Smiling, Zhang Zhaoxin said: "Everyone, follow me."

Soon, a huge army passed by 956E.

Arriving in front of the warship that was covered by a dark red curtain, Zhang Zhaoxin stopped.

In front of the mysterious warship, Song Haidong and others stood there with loaded guns and solemn expressions.

"Colonel Zhang, what is it?" the bearded man asked quickly.

Zhang Zhaoxin said with a smile.

"I heard someone asking just now, where did 051B go? Everyone must also be wondering, did 051B fail in the experiment and was stillborn?"

"Now I can solemnly tell you! 051B was not stillborn! As for why it didn't appear..."

The bearded man reacted and shouted: "Colonel Zhang, it can't be 051B!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Zhaoxin, waiting for his answer.

The originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone's hearts were in mid-air.

Zhang Zhaoxin shook his head, and seeing a trace of disappointment flashing through everyone's eyes, he immediately continued.

"Now, let me formally introduce it to you." Zhang Zhaoxin's tone suddenly became serious.

"This warship was conquered by our navy's military industry experts day and night - a modern warship!"

"In our navy, finalized - 051C!"

"And, it was independently developed by us!"

Modern warship!
  051C!

Be independent!

As soon as these three keywords appeared, it was tantamount to throwing a depth charge into the calm water, causing an uproar.

No wonder 051B didn’t appear. It wasn’t a stillbirth, but it was upgraded!
  From the original non-modernization, it jumped into the modern field!
  Everyone's hearts were beating wildly.

This news is so shocking!

Who would have thought that the suspicion that was overwhelming before has now become a fact!
  The bearded man froze on the spot, his body trembling slightly with excitement. He didn't expect that the result of his wild inference turned out to be a fact!
  He knows so much about warships that he naturally knows how difficult it is to overcome the modernization field. But, you have to have some hope, right?

Now, hope has become reality!

Yu Lai shouted excitedly: "Colonel Zhang, have we really...really done it?"

"Yes, Mr. Yu! We really did it!" Zhang Zhaoxin nodded heavily towards Yu Lai, "We have always known your expectations!"

"Okay! Okay!" Yu Lai's voice trembled with excitement.

After receiving Zhang Zhaoxin's affirmative answer, everyone present instantly became excited.

"Colonel Zhang, I know that we Chinese people can do it! I always believe that we are no stupider than Westerners! If they can do it, so can we!"

"Independence! Modern warships! We can do it!"

While everyone was shouting, the bearded man shouted: "I'll just say it! I'll just say I didn't lie to you! Look, it's true! It's true!"

Modern warship?
  Zhao Haikuo stood there, completely confused for a moment.

Have we passed such a huge technical threshold?

Thinking of what Zhang Gongnong said to everyone in the office nearly a year ago, "Spend money, waste time, waste people, and conquer the threshold of modern technology at all costs." Zhao Haikuo's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The past is still vivid in my mind, but now the sea and the sky are brighter.

Looking at the dark red curtain, Zhao Haikuo suddenly lost his mind.

For no reason, he thought of Su Dingping, who occasionally appeared and had been out of touch for most of the time.

Junior brother, are you also involved in this major project?
  Beside Wang Xin, Guo Xueyun was also staring blankly at the dark red curtain. She was also wondering whether Su Dingping Shenlong had also participated in the attack on modern warships.

Her sixth sense told her that this must be the case.

Guo Xueyun was overjoyed and secretly sighed in his heart: "Junior brother Su is getting better and better."

Suddenly, the bearded man asked nervously.

"Colonel Zhang, can you open it for us to see?"

Others shouted: "Yes, Colonel Zhang, we all want to see it!"

Facing the audience's request, Zhang Zhong smiled and said.

"Today is the ribbon-cutting ceremony of 051C. Similarly, you can not only watch it but also board the ship to visit!"

While speaking, he glanced at Song Haidong behind him, and Song Haidong nodded.

Soon, the huge dark red curtain was pulled away, and the brand-new 165C guided missile destroyer, 17.1 meters long and 051 meters wide, appeared in front of everyone.

Under the sunlight, 051C shines brightly.
