Volume 1 042 I build warships for the navy

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Qi Yiming's perspective from later generations is that it was after 2005 that the Chinese Navy really started to grow. Especially after 2010, basically the total tonnage of new ships in service in the Navy every year was hundreds of thousands of tons.  This trend will only take ten years, and it will soon be able to compete with the US imperialism, which is known as the global liberation army.

    Qi Yiming returned to 1985, and of course he has never forgotten about the Navy. As a military fan, his registered military rank at the Super Base Camp is still the Navy rank, but the Navy cannot be rushed, and it is useless to rush.  There are currently four million troops in the country. If you include the armed police officers, the personnel expenses alone will be scary enough.  Now is still a period of economic construction. Not only does the military not have that much money to purchase and upgrade new equipment, but also the maintenance of old equipment appears to be lax due to lack of funds.

    At this time, there were still many naval ships, but they were mainly small-tonnage frigates and submarine-hunting equipment.  The navy is a gold-swallowing beast. Even if Qi Yiming relies on the base's dock to build dozens of advanced warships for the navy, the maintenance and training alone will drain the poor navy's wallet.

    In addition, strategically, Qi Yiming hopes to consolidate the PLA's mainland army advantage and further improve the air force's homeland air defense capabilities. The navy will not be able to go to the ocean for a while. Besides, it has not been long since he traveled, and it is not very difficult to start now.  Night.

    The branch base was decided to be opened in Huludao, and a beach that no one was using was selected, and he directly began to build his own hidden underground base on this unstable landform.  The sub-base MCV has the ability to go underground, which also provides convenient conditions for ensuring its safety. Qi Yiming cannot open all the buildings in this sub-base because each building has its construction limit. He finally chose  Two power plants, a mining plant, a land-based radar station, a barracks, two shipyards and a repair shop were built.  In addition, considering the demand for manufacturing capacity, Qi Yiming had to sell a tank factory in the main base and then reopen it in a new branch base to provide companies in various industries with the required equipment and certain product parts.  part.

    In addition to providing equipment and parts, the Huludao branch base also plays a role in shipbuilding.  Although the base is built on a tidal flat with very shallow water depth, thanks to the powerful and unexplainable force when building the dock, this sea area that was originally unable to dock any medium-sized or larger ships has actually become an area with an average water depth of about fifteen meters.  Good harbor.

    "If you have the ability, you can install an MCV anywhere and build a dock. Then the MCV will be gone, the dock will be sold, and a deep-water port will be left, which can be used as a dredging project." Qi Yiming, who is quick-thinking, immediately  I came up with such a good idea. There are many tidal flats in the north and the geology is not good, so there are not many deep-water ports that can accommodate large ships. Therefore, the well-known ports in the north are Dalian, Tianjin, Qingdao, Rizhao, Lianyungang, etc.  Unlike the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River, good ports are densely packed, which is extremely conducive to the development of foreign trade and logistics.

    He doesn¡¯t have time to do such a thing now. Running the shipyard for naval shipbuilding has been put on the agenda, and it has become his major business now, second only to the localization of the F-14.

    Of course you have to ask the navy what kind of ships the navy needs.  Qi Yiming made a special trip from Huludao to the capital to meet with General Liu Huaqing, a general who played an important role in later naval history and is also known as the "Father of Chinese Aircraft Carriers".

    Obviously, a high-ranking general like Liu Huaqing, the commander-in-chief of the navy, knew exactly what Qi Yiming was doing. He pulled Qi Yiming into his office, with a face of earnestness and enthusiasm, and said with a smile:  "The biggest question I have these days is, Comrade Xiao Qi, when will you, a money-spreading boy, be able to come to our navy? Haha, after that boy Wang Hai took over a hundred fighter jets from you, how could he look like that?  , It was like dragging him to the sky. Our Hainan Airlines finally got a group of Flying Leopard fighter jets out of his hands. He was still reluctant for a while. I have always wanted to talk to you, but you went to the United States later.  , and now I¡¯ve brought back the F-14, haha, I finally have you back.¡±

    Qi Yiming was quite shy and embarrassed, and said: "Things are a bit busy. I have always been concerned about the navy, but I haven't had any contact with you. I'm sorry."

    Liu Huaqing patted his shoulder heartily, not too hard, and said straightforwardly: "You don't have to be sorry, you just need to improve the equipment level of our navy, and I can apologize to you."

    The two of them laughed together and sat on the sofa in the office respectively.  Qi Yiming exchanged greetings with Liu Huaqing briefly, took out a document of only a few pages from his briefcase, and handed it to General Liu Huaqing.

    After taking it, the Navy Commander discovered that this was actually an advertising leaflet introducing various ships.  Ship types range from destroyers, frigates, diesel-electric submarines, nuclear submarines, to auxiliary minesweepers, small missileBoats and boats are all available.  Moreover, these ship type information were also accompanied by photos and pictures, which looked quite intuitive. Liu Huaqing couldn't help but breathe heavily, like a young brother who met a naked beauty.

    Qi Yiming explained at this time: "I plan to build two naval shipyards in Huludao, each with an annual ship tonnage of 240,000 tons. I have also clearly marked the more reliable types of ships that can be built at this stage.  "After we figure out what the navy's development strategy is, we can start to provide the navy with combat weapons after the navy orders ships."

    "Each shipyard has 240,000 tons? So you can build nearly 500,000 tons of warships a year? Oh my god, this kind of shipbuilding capability is terrifying. Haha, this is not surprising, Wang Hai told me  , you are working hard to build more than 2,000 fighter jets for the Air Force a year, which is really amazing," Liu Huaqing sighed.

    He immediately browsed the materials in his hand carefully, and focused on asking Qi Yiming some questions that were not clearly described. Fortunately, Qi Yiming himself had done a lot of homework, so he answered fluently, just like an insider.  .

    "Comrade Xiao Qi, based on what you see, what kind of naval fleet do you think our navy should develop within a certain period of time?" Liu Huaqing asked.

    Qi Yiming watched him inquire about him. Although he was not necessarily right, he still expressed his opinion boldly: "Commander Liu, our navy has a weak foundation and poor tradition. It is also short of money and equipment. The navy is different from the air force and the army. We must  It takes a lot of energy and a long time to achieve something. There is nothing false about a century-old navy. Moreover, when the national economy has not caught up and our overseas interests are not obvious, it is necessary to develop a powerful ocean-going navy.  A navy actually doesn't make much sense. Of course, with our country's rapid development, we may need such a navy in less than ten years to protect our national interests and people's rights. But what is the top priority at this stage?  Let our navy establish sufficient military presence and maritime deterrence in the Yellow River area, that is, several marginal seas near the coast, especially the Yellow Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan Strait, and South China Sea.

    We have temporarily let go of Japan on the Diaoyu Islands, but the experience of later generations is that Japan will still jump out to talk about things, so we cannot relax.  The actions of Southeast Asian countries in the South China Sea to invade China's Sansha Islands and Reefs are shocking, so we must be able to protect the country's inviolable sovereignty and territorial integrity.  To build such a fleet, we do not need particularly powerful large surface ships, because the main opponents we face are also of limited skill. A general-purpose main frigate of four to five thousand tons, supplemented by an offshore multi-purpose light frigate of more than one thousand tons.  , establishing a sufficient number of elusive conventional submarine forces is enough for our navy to establish our maximum control capabilities in the marginal sea, actually within the first island chain.

    At the same time, because the Taiwan issue has not yet been resolved, after we have established certain offshore defense capabilities, we should focus on building an amphibious fleet, mainly composed of amphibious dock landing ships, amphibious assault ships, and large air-cushion landing craft, at any time  Under the cover of shore-based aviation, it can send a large amount of combat power to the accident area.  "

    Liu Huaqing couldn't help but applaud and said: "You are right, you are really right, Comrade Xiao Qi! Your strategic vision is powerful and your analysis makes sense. Our navy should indeed develop step by step according to the model you mentioned.  The Yellow Water Defense Fleet and the Amphibious Fleet will build an ocean-going navy after enough accumulation!"

    As he spoke, his face was covered with a light of longing, and he pressed his fingers on the stack of documents. On the picture of China's first aircraft carrier Liaoning in later generations, he seemed to want to take it out of the picture and place it on the  Take a good look at her in front of you.

    Qi Yiming looked at his excited look and couldn't help but admire him. This general really served in a downturn, but he always had the ambition to reach the top. The subsequent navy rabbits all followed this general's guidance.  Eventually, a powerful navy was established step by step.  Since then, the Chinese Navy has carried a strong Liu brand.

    When Liu Huaqing came back to his senses slightly, he raised the information in his hand, pointed at several ships and said: "The four- to five-thousand-ton general-purpose frigate you are talking about is this 054A. Well, it looks like  It is quite beautiful, and its air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship capabilities are relatively balanced. It will not be a problem to deal with our opponents in this area. The light frigate is this 056. Alas, with this firepower configuration, despite its small size, it is probably the only one currently in service in our navy.  There are not many ships that can compare to her. Does the diesel-electric submarine use this type of 039A's dead-gas propulsion? Oh, it's good, it can stay underwater for two weeks, and it can basically be used as a nuclear submarine."

    Qi Yiming smiled slightly and said: "Yes, Commander Liu should discuss it with everyone and set a charter. Let's first determine this year's shipbuilding capacity. What ships will be built and how many will be built? Give me a plan. I will  immediatelycan be implemented.  "
