.    Secondly, at the overseas port, the deck of a 21,000-female Flying Dry Copeland designed and manufactured by New Century Shipyard was filled with visiting dignitaries and people from all walks of life from various countries.  The cruise ship slowly left the dock and headed to the open sea.  There, Hua Fei will visit and review the latest military construction achievements of the National Defense Forces in the past ten years together with dignitaries from various countries.

    There was a lot of laughter on the deck of the cruise ship. The weather was very good and the autumn sky was particularly refreshing and pleasant.  Dignitaries from various countries gathered in small groups to chat, and some were discussing something with the person in charge of the New Century Shipyard. They seemed to be extremely interested in this kind of luxury cruise ship, and most of them were discussing orders.

    No matter how people in later generations view Hitler, in the eyes of Hua Fei at this time, Hitler was obviously a very charming and eloquent figure.  Although Hua Fei couldn't understand German, he was still moved by Hitler's emotional expressions and language.  To borrow the words of British Prime Minister Chamberlain at that time, that is Comrade Hitler, very sincere.  Yes, whether it's his words and deeds, or the personal charm he exudes inadvertently.  They all reveal incomparable sincerity, and are by no means the slightly morbid madness that future generations will see on film and television screens.

    In recent years, although the entire world has been living slowly in the midst of an economic recession, China's economy is unique and unique.  Even if the economic growth is not fast, with the expiration of various preferential tax policies to promote the development of industry and commerce, with the increase in the total scale of the country's industry and commerce, and with the gradual expansion of the entire socio-economic aggregate.  The increase in national fiscal revenue is several times higher than the growth rate of the national economy.  Especially in recent years.  The country's fiscal and tax revenue growth rate is almost as high as 20%.

    This is the result of the economic development of the entire country. This is the explosive return accumulated by tightening the belt in the past few years and paying the cost of fiscal and taxation for several years.  Although this increase was expected by Hua Fei, such a high speed was still surprising.

    The sharp increase in fiscal and tax revenue has undoubtedly made the government more generous in terms of expenditure.  In addition to beginning to gradually repay previously issued bond borrowings, government spending in various aspects is also increasing.  Although the fiscal deficit of the entire country remains high.  Reaching about 10% of the entire gross national product, but as long as the economy progresses at such a stable rate, this necessary investment in the early stage of development will definitely bring greater returns to the country in the later stage.

    Due to the steady increase in government fiscal revenue, the credit rating of government-issued bonds has been rising.  Those holding government bonds.  Bonds can also be traded on the market, becoming a hot and popular product in the investment market.

    All of this speaks volumes about the entire country.  After countless people¡¯s struggle, hard work, and construction, we are already moving in a good direction.  The direct result of this development is the amazing achievements of military construction.

    Although at the beginning of China¡¯s war, military investment was reduced for the sake of national construction, this reduction only reduced the increase in military investment and corrected the investment quota of the three armed forces.  Significantly reduce the Army's military revenue, disarmament and integrate Army forces.  However, the investment growth rate in the navy has been maintained and strictly implemented according to the ten-year development plan outline originally formulated.  Even when military expenditures are tight, the military still uses the issuance of non-public interest-free bonds to raise funds.

    The army, and even the air force, can be quickly formed in a short period of time and form a powerful scale, as long as you have this.  The necessary backbone for a large-scale army.  For the Army, the backbone is a large number of middle- and lower-level professional officers. This is obviously the top priority of the National Defense Forces Army's construction in recent years.  The backbone of the Air Force is undoubtedly the pilots.

    The navy is different. The construction of the navy is a long and slow accumulation process.

    Naval construction not only costs a lot of money, but also takes an extremely long period. It cannot be successful without the backing of a strong national power.  Even if you have a lot of wealth as a backing, it is impossible to build a powerful navy in a short period of time.  For Britain's powerful and developed shipbuilding industry, the construction cycle of a battleship is about three years, and the number that can be built in the same batch at the same time is also limited.

    And even if you have built a navy, it does not mean that the task is completed.  The expense of a powerful naval fleet was also staggering.  Not to mention the basic costs such as fuel, let¡¯s just talk about the most conspicuous main gun on the battleship now.  The barrel and charge of a large-caliber main gun have a limited service life.  Usual maintenance does not count.  Once a war breaks out, the cost of repairing and replacing these gun barrels and medicine chambers alone will be an astronomical sum for ordinary people.

    However, after decades of hard work and hard work, today's National Defense Force is no longer the original force that only received some old warships from the Qing Dynasty. The entire fleet cannot even produce a warship that the Chinese people can be proud of.  But now, decades later, the entire navy of the National Defense Force has begun to take shape, and the first fleet of the Israeli Navy has been built.  The second ship recognizedThe main offensive and defensive force, the Navy's poisonous three ships are considered to be the three major naval fleets that form the coastal defense force.

    The garrison theater area of ??the Navy's Diren Fleet covers the South China Sea, various sea areas in Southeast Asia, the Indian Ocean and other vast sea areas.  The garrison theater area of ??the Navy's Second Fleet covers the East China Sea, the Pacific Ocean and other major maritime areas in eastern China.  In addition to being responsible for offshore defense patrols in the Yellow Sea, Taiwan Sea, and North Sea (Sea of ??Japan), the Third Fleet also has a naval patrol stationed in the far sea (Sea of ??Okhotsk).

    There are three major fleets, each with its own garrison area.  The formation of a system that is both offensive and defensive, and has a long and near echelon of offensive and defensive systems, has effectively ensured the country's security and safeguarded the country's maritime rights and interests.  On the entire earth, except for the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, there is probably no actual existence of the Wehrmacht Navy. All other areas are the theoretical "arrival areas" of the Wehrmacht Navy.

    Participating in the naval exercise is the Navy's most powerful Second Fleet. The Second Fleet is a brand-new fleet, from aircraft carriers to battleships, even destroyers, frigates, submarines under the water, and ancillary support ships, all are the latest.  The maximum service age of warships is no more than five years.

    Not long after Hua Fei¡¯s second term began, the Navy¡¯s Second Fleet was officially established.  Although today's Second Fleet is small in size, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.  And as the main force of the future navy, the Second Fleet is of course the top priority for the development and construction of the future navy.

    Today¡¯s Second Fleet has two of the latest models of China¡¯s four aircraft carriers, the Orca and her sister ship Gray Whale.  The Orca is a new generation aircraft carrier of the Chinese Navy. Compared with the Oriental Giant, it is definitely not a product of the same level.  "The Oriental Giant is an experimental aircraft carrier, so the new generation of aircraft carrier named after the whale, a creature as large as the sea, has concentrated many of China's scientific and technological achievements over the years. It can be said that China's shipbuilding over the years has  An industrial masterpiece, it is also the pinnacle of China's military use of ships.

    The standard displacement of the Orca is 1 meter, the full load displacement is 100 meters, the flight deck is 4 meters wide, the waterline is 8 meters wide when fully loaded, the waterline is 5 meters wide.  It is powered by 4 domestically produced gas turbines with 4 shafts. The output power of the main engine reaches 10,000 horsepower.  The top speed is ugly, the endurance is still in the sea, and the mileage is old.  The oil carrying capacity is mouth-stewing under standard conditions.

    The standard aircraft carrying capacity is Tianyi's, which refers to the latest all-metal aircraft.  If you switch to wooden airplanes, you can have up to ten airplanes.

    There are 3 lifts, each lift can carry 4,000 tons.  The number of aircraft carried is based on the aircraft carrier's standard aircraft configuration calculation table. During wartime, the number of aircraft carried will also change to a certain extent depending on the type of carrier-based aircraft.

    The aircraft carrier has more than a ton of weapons and ammunition such as aerial bombs and torpedoes. Since the catapult technology is not yet mature, and the use of catapults will also reduce the service life of the aircraft, only one aircraft model is installed on the Gray Whale.  Catapult. For experimental purposes, the Orca has space for pre-installation of the catapult.

    The armament is equipped with 2 single-barreled millimeter cannons and a combined femto-millimeter machine cannon.  24, millimeter anti-aircraft machine guns.  The number of design and establishment personnel will increase during peacetime as needed during wartime.

    Looking at the technical data of the Orca, although the displacement is much higher than that of the Oriental Giant, the number of aircraft carried has not increased accordingly. This is because the two aircraft carriers are no longer products of the same era.  Although the total power output of the Orca is lower than that of the Eastern Giant, the speed is also lower.  But the essential difference is that the power system of the Eastern Giant is almost entirely imported from Germany.  But the power system of the killer whale is completely different. It is based on the steam turbine produced by an American company and absorbs the results of the country's scientific and technological progress over the years. The power system produced by the Hercules Engine Factory is by no means  The two opposite words domestic and imported can express it.  And due to the use of steam turbine technology, a lot of space is saved to load more fuel and items and improve endurance.

    The design concept of the Orca has been more inclined to fleet group operations, further reducing the weapon systems on the ship, and relying on the systematic operations of the entire fleet group and its own carrier-based aircraft as effective offensive and defensive means.  It also leaves more weight and space, and reserves a lot of space and location for the two aircraft carriers in the future, so that the aircraft carriers can be upgraded more conveniently in the future.  From this aspect.  The idea of ??modularity was already in place during the design.

    In addition, as the flagship of the Second Fleet.  In terms of electronic facilities, the Orca and its sister ships undoubtedly integrate the latest achievements and advanced equipment of China's research in this area.  Not only are they equipped with a more complete radar warning system and sonar warning technology, but as a command ship, the radar device equipped on the Orca is even more unique.  Incredibly powerful.

    The progress of China's shipbuilding industry as a whole cannot be summarized in simple words, but the Orca is like a microcosm, displaying the latest technological level of the entire country's industrial industry.  There are some things you can see from the exterior of the ship.However, some things, such as the addition of equipment such as radars and integrated tactical command platforms, are difficult to reflect their value without actual combat.

    When the aircraft carrier headed by the Gray Whale passed in front of the luxury cruise ship, everyone on the deck stopped talking and entertaining, and concentrated on the side of the ship.  Countless telescopes stared closely at this small but intimidating naval fleet.

    People who have a little knowledge of craftsmanship will find that the warships passing in front of them make extensive use of electric welding technology.  Although welding technology is not an extremely advanced technology, it represents a mainstream technology in the future.  And from the formation of this fleet in just a few years, China's new shipbuilding technology production capacity can be estimated today.  How powerful it is.

    Yes, experts have seen some clues.  After Huafei took control of Shanghai, the shipbuilding industry, steel industry, and arms industry were the three main investment directions of Star Heavy Industry for more than ten years.  In the field of shipbuilding, it not only integrated the chaotic shipbuilding industry in Shanghai, attracted technical talents from all over the country, and cultivated a large number of reserve technical backbones, but also invested heavily in eliminating and innovating manufacturing production equipment and vigorously developing a new shipbuilding industry.  And many new shipyards were built.

    People can see that these main warships of the Second Fleet have made extensive use of electric welding technology, but what they cannot see is that in China's shipyards, they have begun to experiment with all-welded manufacturing processes, segmented shipbuilding technology, large structural parts and overall equipment.  Preliminary testing of various advanced technologies and concepts such as assembly, pre-assembly and standardization of equipment parts.  Given time, Hua Fei believes that the results of these efforts will definitely bring a new tomorrow to China's shipbuilding industry and the Chinese navy.

    In Hitler's eyes at this moment, the real shock was obviously not the construction process of the aircraft carrier, but the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier.  As everyone knows.  Due to Germany's defeat in World War I and controlled by contracts, the German navy has only maintained a weak level of development.  Although Germany had begun to vigorously develop its navy, Hitler himself knew that their naval power could not compete with Britain.

    The comparison between the German Navy and the British Navy is countless times better than the situation between the Chinese Navy and the Japanese Navy.  At that time, Japan ranked first in Asia.  The world's third most powerful naval fleet, and China's naval strength is simply dismissive. They can't even build their own gunboats independently.

    But just over 20 years later, the naval gap between China and Japan has been minimal. China¡¯s own 30,000-ton aircraft carrier has left all the guests on the deck speechless.  And Germany.  Not only has the gap between the German and British navies not narrowed, it remains far beyond reach.

    Hitler was just thinking, why!

    The carrier-based aircraft on the Gray Whale obviously did not give Hitler time to think. China's aviation industry started relatively early, and its development speed and level are commendable in the world.  After more than two decades of hard work, Feng Ru and countless engineers and technicians in the aviation industry have realized their dream of an all-metal aircraft.

    This dive bomber, which was ordered to be the "Flying Shark", was officially approved as a project in 2011. It was not until 2008 that it went through numerous experiments and modifications. It was officially accepted by the Navy and the project was approved to begin mass production to replace several aircraft carriers in the Navy.  A blunt-warhead dive bomber. From the formal project establishment to mass production, it took nine years and countless investments. It can be said that it took ten years to sharpen the sword. As China's first all-metal monoplane, the Flying Shark has placed many people's expectations and dreams on it.  .

    And this time.  Dive-bombing rights in various countries around the world are either still in the experimental design stage or in the process of proposing plans.  The first all-metal monoplane in the history of the U.S. Navy did not appear until the 1990s, and Japan's famous Nine-Nine carrier bomber did not appear until the 2000s.

    So the result of Feisha just going into production is that the quantity must be limited.  Even if the Zhanlong aircraft factory is at full production, the current aircraft can only fill the deck of the Gray Whale.  Not one more.  Dignitaries and guest representatives from various countries watched with gusto. Hitler himself looked at the somewhat familiar Flying Shark dive bomber and had a lot of thoughts in his heart.  Only Hua Fei was a little embarrassed there.  Obviously he invited these people to watch the military parade for some bluff purpose. If it was exposed, it would be embarrassing

    However, no one present paid attention to the number of flying sharks. They saw flying shark dive bombers leaping from the deck of the Gray Whale, quickly circling and gathering over the aircraft carrier, heading towards the 10,000-ton flying shark a few nautical miles away.  The target ship flew away.

    I saw that their formation network had just been set up, and before they flew over the target ship, the anti-aircraft firepower on the target ship began to fire fiercely.  Is there anyone else on the target boat?  Everyone was in a panic when they saw flying sharks rushing toward the 10,000-ton target ship at almost an eighty-degree vertical angle despite intensive anti-aircraft fire.

    Boom boom boom!

    With the huge fire rising into the sky,?, the bomb dropped by Flying Shark hit the target ship with a hit rate of almost 90%.  The new type of anti-ship armor-piercing aerial bombs made the target ship's armor useless. Before the second round of bombing originally prepared had begun, the entire target ship broke from the hull and sank rapidly.

    The commentator on the deck spoke several languages ????and stood in different directions to explain quickly, and the people who listened became more and more shocked.  At this time, Hitler was concerned about China's military strength.  I have quickly recalculated in my mind.

    ??A country that relied entirely on Germany to assist its weapons arsenal more than 20 years ago, only 20 years later.  They could develop to such a low level. What they showed was only the aircraft carrier. Hitler couldn't even imagine what other powers they were capable of.  No wonder naval powers like Japan eventually lost in competition with China.

    In Hitler's mind.  Not only are they re-evaluating China's strategic position, but they are also thinking about the ideas for the construction and development of the German army.

    Hua Fei didn¡¯t know how much his performance shocked the people present.  What shocked everyone was definitely not just the power of one or two weapons, but also the speed of China's development and changes. It was really impressive.

    ¡°The combat methods and combat concepts used by China now seem to have left other countries behind. This is the root of the shock.

    Hua Fei's purpose was to be both imaginary and real. He did not intend to intervene in the war at the beginning of World War II. Therefore, in order to increase his military influence in the minds of various countries, he felt that he would take advantage of such a good opportunity to show the might of the Chinese Army.  It is very necessary.

    It is undeniable that it is China¡¯s first generation all-metal monoplane.  Flying Shark has a historic breakthrough.  But the actual combat effect still needs to be tested by war.  Just like leading military weapons such as the Flying Shark, China has implemented a line of elite troops in recent years, which has allowed the three armed forces to shorten or reach the world level in terms of the advanced nature of many weapons and equipment.  But if we compare it to industrial production capacity, it is also the country¡¯s war-scale capability.  China still has a long way to go.

    The United States was able to build hundreds of destroyers during World War I, and it was able to build up to twenty-six Essex-class aircraft carriers during World War II. It was powerful not only with its strong financial resources, but also with its huge industrial system.  What China lacks most today is this huge industrial system.  If we say that the construction and development in the first two decades mainly pursued improving the industrial infrastructure system and maintaining technological leadership in certain fields.  Then the future development direction is to continue to comprehensively improve the construction of the basic system, increase investment in industrial scale production, and strengthen more technological leadership to achieve a comprehensive national rise.

    In this day and age.  Although aircraft carriers are very impressive, for the most part, aircraft carriers are just floating airports on the sea, from which reconnaissance aircraft and attack aircraft that have not yet proven their power take off and land.  The strategy, tactics and role of carrier aviation are still subject to theoretical debate.  Warships are still regarded as the backbone of maritime power and are irreplaceable.

    But looking at the composition of the Chinese Navy¡¯s Second Fleet, there are two aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers with a displacement of 12,000 tons, eight light fast cruisers with a displacement of 6,000 tons, and 16 large cruisers with a displacement of 3,200 tons.  Poseidon-class destroyers and Poseidon-class medium-sized destroyers with a displacement of 2,100 tons, thirty: frigates with a displacement of about 1,000 tons and several other types of ships, the total number of ships is about one hundred, and the total tonnage is about 20  Fifty thousand tons.  Form the powerful Second Fleet of the National Defense Force Navy.

    Of course, at this time, China still did not withdraw from the Washington Naval Treaty, and also participated in the subsequent London Naval Treaty.  In the London Naval Treaty, China's total naval tonnage was relaxed to 350,000 tons.  But according to the total tonnage of the Second Fleet, plus the First Fleet and the Third Fleet.  The total tonnage of 350,000 tons is obviously far from enough.

    This is not a big problem for the current Chinese Navy.  Because the 250,000-ton construction plan of the Second Fleet is still under planning, except for the aircraft carriers that are in full service, the other ships are not fully equipped, and it will take five years to complete the construction plan of the Second Fleet.

    Even so, it was only with Hua Fei's great determination, despite the strong opposition of other parties in the parliament, and a lot of energy, that such a huge military investment plan was passed.

    ¡°The superficial reason Hua Fei finally used to convince everyone is simple. I don¡¯t want to see our country suffer another Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, but I don¡¯t want to see the Gengzi National Disaster repeat itself on this land.
