I built an armada

Chapter 73 Who is coming? The four chiefs went to pick it up together!
  Xu Dongguo felt a little excited.

Before setting off in the morning, he was still worried that if he played with 051C tomorrow, he would be at the bottom no matter what.

Although the 051C has crossed the threshold of modernization, compared with the veteran modern warship 956E, the gap is still very obvious.

It will be difficult not to lose miserably by then.

He prepared himself mentally for a long time before gradually allowing himself to accept the upcoming result.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, I learned that Zhou Qinglei and others had lost contact, and 052 could not find his whereabouts. At that time, he felt that the improvement of 052 must be the result.

Now that he received a call from Zhou Qinglei, his hanging heart finally dropped.

052 improvement was successful! And he is about to be pulled over to participate in military training!

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the work progress sheet that Sun Yongguo submitted when he went to find him last month.

According to the various technologies listed above, there is no problem for the improved 052 and 956E to compete head-on.

As for what Sun Yongguo said, once the improvement is successful, the 052 can surpass the optimized 956E, which he is still a little uneasy about.

Without him, the optimized 956E's combat level is ridiculously strong! At least this is the case for the three major fleets.

After coming back to his senses, Xu Dongguo pretended to be calm. Even though he had the answer in his mind, he still couldn't help but ask.

"Is the improvement of 052 successful?"

"Yes, sir, the 052 has been improved successfully. According to Dingping and the others, it is now called 052B."

"052B? What about 052A?"

"Reporting to the chief, Dean Sun said that there were originally 051A, but their combat level was not improved much, so they were killed by Dingping." Zhou Qinglei said truthfully.

Xu Dongguo has not yet seen the actual measured data of the improved 052B, so he does not have a clear feeling about the 052A killed and finalized into the 052B as mentioned by Zhou Qinglei.

Anyway, it’s just a sentence, as long as it’s better than 051C.

In any case, the participation of the newly finalized 052B in military training has greatly improved the survivability of the Northern Fleet.

"We just finished the test, how is your proficiency? Tomorrow's training must be treated as actual combat!"

"Report to the chief, there is absolutely no problem!"

"Okay, then you can command 052B to come over and participate in the training."

"Yes! Chief!"

With Xu Dongguo's approval, Zhou Qinglei quickly responded.

Just kidding, considering the powerful combat level of 052B, how much proficiency is required for just training? Isn't this bullying?

If you close your eyes, you can hit the 956E.

After a pause, Xu Dongguo asked again: "Where is Dingping? He is busy now and should have time to come over."

"Reporting to the chief, Dingping just got on the plane and is expected to arrive tonight." After thinking about it, Zhou Qinglei added: "But Dingping was worried that he didn't know anyone there. I think he was a little nervous at the time."

"Why is he nervous when I'm here! Can Chief Liu still be able to eat people?" Xu Dongguo said angrily.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "Let Sun Yongguo and Lu Guangjun come over. After all, they participated in the improvement of 052B, so it would be inappropriate not to show up."

"Be with me?"

"Let's go with you. I can also help you deepen your understanding of 052B on the way."

"Yes, Chief! What about 051C?"

051C?

Xu Dongguo's eyes looked thoughtful.

With the more advanced 052B, he no longer looks down on the 051C.

But Zhou Qinglei was the one controlling 051C, and the temporary replacement had no time to become proficient. On the battlefield, it is easy to cause trouble.

Old warships that are about to be retired are excluded from this training, as are small and medium-sized ships such as missile boats.

As a result, the Northern Fleet can only fight with two 053H3 frigates and a newly improved 052B destroyer.

The Southern Fleet can fight with two 053H3 frigates, one 052 destroyer, and one 956E destroyer.

The Eastern Fleet can fight with a 053H3 frigate, a 052 destroyer, and a 956E destroyer.

After careful calculation, even if the 052B is really better than the 956E, it will be at the same level as the Eastern Fleet.

It is unlikely to win first place, but there is still hope for second place.

In this way, even if you lose this training, you can at least fight back and forth without being too embarrassed.

This result is already much better than before! Previously it was far behind second place.

With this in mind, Xu Dongguo Road.

"Do not care."

"Yes, Chief!"

"I still have something to do. Let's meet in detail tomorrow." After saying that, Xu Dongguo hung up the phone.

Handing back the satellite phone, he told the guard: "Wait here, and notify me immediately when the peace is reached."

"It's the chief!"

After explaining the good things, Xu Dongguo was in a good mood and walked much more briskly.

When I arrived at the conference room, I found Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun already waiting there.

Looking around, Liu Huaming was not seen.

"Old Xu, are you here?"

As soon as he saw Xu Dongguo, Xiao Chongjun immediately shouted to him.

"Where's the chief?"

"The chief is in a hurry, let us wait here for a while." Changing the topic, Xiao Chongjun continued: "What's going on, Lao Xu, you don't look good!"

"How long has this been going on and you still hold a grudge?"

"Hey Lao Xu, what you said is wrong! What does it mean to hold a grudge? I only care about your Northern Fleet."

With a cold snort, Xu Dongguo didn't even bother to talk to him.

This time, the second place is between the Northern Fleet and the Eastern Fleet. As Xiao Chongjun is the leader of the Eastern Fleet, Xu Dongguo will naturally find it hard to look down upon him.

Qian Wenbing, who felt he had a chance to win, acted as a peacemaker.

"Old Xiao, please stop saying a few words. I can't exchange your 956E for Lao Xu's 051C. It depends on how you look."

Xiao Chongjun glared at him, as if to say: You are the only one who talks too much.

Qian Wenbing didn't take it seriously and looked at Xu Dongguo and said, "Old Xu, where is my little comrade? Why didn't I come with you?"

"On the way, arriving in the evening."

"That's fine. I was also afraid that you would hide your little comrade and not even let him come over to take a look at the military training."

Upon hearing that Su Dingping was arriving in the evening, Xiao Chongjun said quickly.

"Lao Xu, my little comrade and I will have a little chat alone later, is that okay?"

"up to you."

"With your words, I feel relieved. I will definitely give you some relief during the military training tomorrow!" Xiao Chongjun said cheerfully.

He was a little excited inside. When Li Mingrui and others improved 956E, they often talked about Su Dingping and praised him full of praise.

After hearing more reports from his subordinates, he looked forward to it even more, wondering if he could bring Su Dingping to his fleet.

Although Qian Wenbing didn't say anything, his thinking eyes clearly had similar thoughts.

They are all sure of one thing. If they can conquer the core technology of 956E on their own, it is only a matter of time before they can build more advanced warships!
  When such a warship appears in any fleet, which fleet will be more prestigious.

Xu Dongguo knew what the two of them were thinking and didn't criticize them.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became a little strange.

Along with the sound of footsteps, Liu Huaming arrived.

"All three comrades have arrived."

"Chief."

"Everyone, sit down." After Liu Huaming took his seat, he said in a solemn tone, "Let's have a small meeting before training."

The three of them suddenly looked solemn.

The three of them can tease each other when the leader is not here, but now that the leader is here, they must have the proper attitude.

"Just now, I received definite news that the forging project of Toyo's fourth King Kong-class guided drive has entered the final stage."

"It can be expected that the fourth King Kong-class guided drive will be officially put into service in just half a year. By then, there will be four fully-equipped Eighth-Eighth Fleet, plus two light aircraft carriers."

Looking across the three of them, Liu Huaming continued.

"The current situation is not good for us!"

The three of them felt heavy.

Once an unexpected situation occurs in half a year, the navy will still be able to cooperate with the rocket force and the air force in coastal defensive operations.

The majestic navy can only fight in coastal waters, which is a pain in their hearts.

If only Dingping had appeared a few years earlier, we wouldn't be so embarrassed now. Xu Dongguo sighed secretly in his heart.

"So this military training must be regarded as actual combat! If anyone lets you offend, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Xiao Chongjun cast an apologetic look at Xu Dongguo.

You can't blame me for this. I also wanted to let things go, but the chief didn't allow it.

Xu Dongguo pretended not to see it.

"there's one more thing."

Liu Huaming continued.

"The progress of the '[-]' plan does not seem to be going well either."

"Yes, chief." Xu Dongguo said: "I sent Wang De there last month. With his secret assistance, Zhao Quanfa also successfully negotiated with the actor country for the second time and got an update. Unexpected news."

"tell me the story."

"Someone is blocking the sale of the Varyag aircraft carrier behind the scenes!"

Qian Wenbing asked: "Who are they?"

"It's still the same people as before."

Qian Wenbing fell silent immediately.

I couldn't afford to offend him then, and I still can't afford to offend him now.

Xiao Chongjun said helplessly: "Isn't it just an abandoned aircraft carrier? They all stretch their hands so long. They clearly don't like it and they won't let others sell it to us. I really want to chop it all up for them one day!"

After pondering for a long time, Liu Huaming said.

“Have a backup plan.”

"Yes! I will send someone to inform Wang De when the time comes."

The main plan is Zhao Quanfa, with Wang De as the assistant. As a backup plan, Wang De was the main one and Zhao Quanfa was the assistant.

These were all decided before sending Wang De, and Wang De was given the identity of a businessman for this purpose.

After the two important matters were discussed, Liu Huaming suddenly looked at Xu Dongguo and asked.

"Didn't my little comrade come with you?"

Xu Dongguo explained: "Dingping has been too busy recently. I just have some time. I will probably arrive in the evening."

"That's good. It's been so long, it's time for us to meet the heroes of my navy!"

Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun responded quickly: "We have wanted to meet him for a long time."

Knowing that Su Dingping would arrive in the evening, Liu Huaming felt relieved.

"The 051C production line has been established. How long is it expected to be mass produced?"

"Chief, if everything goes well, we can launch one ship before April 4rd!" After a pause, Xiao Chongjun added: "It's just military expenses..."

"This year's military budget is down, and it's one billion more than last year."

As soon as Liu Huaming finished speaking, Xiao Chongjun couldn't sit still.

"Chief, why is it only more than eight billion? This is too little! I am still thinking of hurrying up and integrating the 051C into the three major fleets within two years."

"There is nothing we can do about it. Just wait. If we can successfully join the Blue Star Trade Alliance by the end of the year, the country will have money. Then the military budget will naturally increase."

Liu Huaming was helpless. He couldn't change anything about military expenditures.

It is a fact that the navy has the lowest sense of presence among the three services. If we don't achieve some outstanding results, how can we compete with the Army and Air Force for military expenditures?

Xiao Chongjun and others remained silent.

They have been waiting for many years, and they feel there is not much hope this year.

The few of them talked until about seven o'clock in the evening. At this time, Xu Dongguo's security guard ran over and said something in his ear before leaving quickly.

"Chief, Dingping's special plane has arrived."

At the military base airport in the southern sea area, a special plane flew from far to near.

The airport staff was preparing to pick up the plane when they suddenly found Xu Dongguo coming.

Just as they were about to say hello to the chief, they noticed that behind Xu Dongguo, Qian Wenbing, Xiao Chongjun, and Liu Huaming were all here.

Everyone was confused.

Let's just pick up the plane. Why are the leaders here?
  Immediately, they noticed several people coming towards them.

Is there something urgent for the chief?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Xu Dongguo and others had already approached.

"Hello, Chief!"

"Thank you, leave it to us."

"Yes, Chief."

The airport pick-up staff stood aside, looking at the leaders who were also standing not far away, and then at the landing plane. Their hearts were beating fast.

They are not stupid, they can naturally see that the leaders are waiting for the people on the plane.

Is there some big shot on the special plane?
  No one told us before!
  Why are the four chiefs here?
