Rebirth of the Military Industrial Overlord

At 11:30 on March 16, the "Nanchong Ship" arrived in the waters near Yongshou Reef.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Chen Weiwen saw an unforgettable scene in his life.

Two huge ships with a body length of more than 200 meters and a displacement estimated to exceed 25,000 tons are quietly moored near Yongshou Reef. On the huge bows, the names of the ships-"Zheng Chenggong" and "Zheng He" are sprayed. "It was the two ships mentioned in the order he received.

In comparison, the "Nanchong" under his seat, which has a displacement of only more than 1,000 tons, is like a small sampan.

But it’s not surprising that the ship is big. The “big nanny” of this fleet, the “Dongyun 615” is also a big ship with a displacement of more than 20,000 tons, not much smaller than these two ships.

The strange thing is the cargo on these two ships.

Without using a telescope, Chen Weiwen could see clearly that the deck of one of the ships was full of planes!

fighter!

He can even clearly identify the model of that type of fighter-the "Sea Harrier" made in Britain!

The Chinese Navy is so familiar with the "Sea Harrier" fighter aircraft, almost every officer of a little bit level is familiar with it.

This is because as early as the late 1970s, this type of fighter was on the catalog of British products to China.

Moreover, in the "aircraft carrier dream" that all the officers and soldiers of the China Navy have been doing, the "Sea Harrier" has always been a carrier aircraft that has always been considered!

Not to mention the "707 Project", a product of that particular era, but a practical plan. As early as 1985, the Navy requested that the "Modu Ship and Ocean Engineering Design Institute" (the research institute where Academician Yang Qian was located) was launched. A feasibility study project for the design and construction of an aircraft carrier. For this purpose, the institute built an aircraft carrier model and conducted many preliminary experiments in the 600-meter-long pool in the institute and Taihu Lake in Jiangnan Province; in the same year, Commander-in-Chief Liu requested the Navy Launched the demonstration of the aircraft carrier program, and at the same time ordered the Guangnan Naval Academy to provide training courses for aircraft carrier classes.

This also shows the foresight of Commander-in-Chief Liu. He is indeed the founder and pioneer of the China Navy's aircraft carrier program. He is honored as the "father of China Aircraft Carrier" and deserves his name.

In 1987, when there was no shadow of the aircraft carrier, under the instructions of Commander Liu, the Navy took precautions and selected ten outstanding naval aviation forces to study in the "Flight Captain Class" specially set up by the Guangnan Naval Academy. Personnel training and reserve.

In the history of the last time and space, these ten specially selected pilots received a period of training, and due to various reasons, they had to return to their original units. This special experience was left to them, I’m afraid It is a lifelong regret.

But in this time and space, well, old readers, guess what, where are these ten pilots who have received special training?

Returning to the previous time and space, in 1988, under the auspices of the National Defense Science and Technology Industry Commission and the Seventh Shipbuilding Institute, organized various forces to summarize and review the work of the previous stage, and formally published the "China Development Aircraft Carrier and Carrier Aircraft System Feasible "Sexual Research" was included in the 1989 soft science research project of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

In January 1989, the demonstration project of the aircraft carrier was approved by the state and was named "Project 891" according to rules and customs.

The argument for the "891 Project" is based on the current domestic level, introducing technology or self-reliant research and development of medium-sized aircraft carriers.

It is based on this kind of thinking that the story that was widely circulated among military fans later on, Huaxia almost bought the small Sipanya aircraft carrier.

Compared with the aircraft carrier, the selection of carrier-based aircraft is the most difficult one. In the project demonstration, the domestically produced J-6, J-7 and J-8 have all been deduced, and the J-7 was even selected for a while. The prototype aircraft hopes to be able to change a fighter on the ship based on it. This shows that the China Navy is eager to have an aircraft carrier. On the other hand, it also shows that for the China at that time, it wanted to obtain a type of performance How difficult it is to "board" fighters.

Therefore, some people in the navy proposed to purchase foreign ready-made fighter jets to meet China's current urgent needs, and the ones that can meet the requirements of taking off and landing on small aircraft carriers, after all, the British "Sea Harrier" is the most suitable.

In the last time and space, the "891" project is a project that will be implemented a little bit. The reason for the discontinuation of the project is that on the one hand, the Bazin Shipyard in Sipanya only agreed to sell the ship, but firmly refused to provide it. Drawings, this does not meet China's requirements; on the other hand, because of the drastic changes in the international situation, China has a better choice.

Of course, Chen Weiwen has heard the legend that someone in China bought 12 British "Sea Harrier" fighters. Among the admirals of his level, this is not a secret, but I heard it was the same thing, and saw it with my own eyes. Another thing, when these fighters were really lined up in front of his eyes, the feeling was enough to shock him!

More shocking is yet to come.

In Chen Weiwen’s gaze, a "Sea Harrier" has slowly risen from the deck of the "Zheng Chenggong". After reaching a certain height, as the tail nozzle slowly turns, it gradually accelerates from the hovering state. It was converted into a normal flying posture; then, another "Sea Harrier" also made exactly the same movements, and the two fighters completed the aerial formation, whizzing towards the direction of Chigua Jiao!

When the fighter planes passed by the "Nanchong", Chen Weiwen could see clearly and plainly, the two fighter planes were full of missiles hanging under their belly!

Without the usual red circle mark of training ammunition, it is live ammunition!

Moreover, the wings of the two "Sea Harriers" are painted with China's military emblem!

But looking at the new and old paint, it seems that it has just been sprayed on.

At this time, Chen Weiwen finally understood what the so-called "temporary aircraft carrier" meant in the telegrams he received before. The "Zheng Chenggong" was a cargo ship, such as a fake replacement, but now, at this moment, it is a ship. Aircraft carrier, because it bears the responsibilities of an aircraft carrier!

"Our fighter, our fighter can cruise Nansha with bombs!"

This is the thought that is constantly rolling in Chen Weiwen's mind at this moment, over and over again, "Over our fleet, there is finally a reliable airspace defender-but who came up with this idea? This person not only has a genius mind, There is also the super execution power to put the thought of genius into action, and it is supported by terrible financial resources. After all, I am afraid that only one person in China can do this. Is it really him? Here, Chen Weiwen felt that he must meet him, and said "thank you" to him, representing himself and all the brothers of the Nansha fleet on duty."

"report!"

Just as he looked at the majestic appearance of the "Zheng Chenggong" and was full of emotion in his heart, the voice of the signal soldier rang.

Chen Weiwen took the telegram envelope handed by the correspondent, opened it, and found that the content was only a short eight words:

"A cup of tea, invite you to drink together."

Signed, Tan Zhenhua.

It really is him!

He is here!
