Chapter 94: The Beginning of the Great Change (33)

The rapid maneuver of the US Air Force has been popularized within the US military.

With the support of new ground support equipment, a squadron of F16 fighters (24) of the U.S. Air Force needs 18 sorties of equipment, personnel and ammunition for the C141 transport ground support system for long-distance rapid deployment across the Atlantic, which is equivalent to transporting about 700 tons of materials and personnel with the load of 40 tons of C141 transport aircraft.

Since the F14 fighter is a carrier-based aircraft of the US Navy, the F14 squadron runs with the aircraft carrier and has never done such a long-range rapid maneuver transfer of the US Air Force.

And the Republic's F14 fighter jets are in service with the Air Force, and the Navy has no aircraft carriers available at the moment, so they are interested in this kind of rapid transition deployment.

Outsiders don't know what kind of goods the so-called super heavy freight company is, and Ning Lei can't know.

As early as the first half of the year, since CMB Aerospace's acquisition of Schott entered the publicity period in Britain and Germany, Ning Lei gave an exercise plan to the amphibious staff that had just been established, and the core of the plan was to demonstrate the long-range rapid deployment of the air force of more than 1,000 kilometers.

When the General Staff first received Ning Lei's plan, it knew Ning Lei's intentions, and the essence of Ning Lei's so-called rapid deployment of more than 1,000 kilometers was the rapid deployment of the Republic Air Force on Beizi Island in the Twin Reefs.

Long-range rapid deployment, although foreign armies are booming in this regard, but people have something, there are An-124 and Il-76 in the north, and C5 and C141 on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

What does the republic have? Relying on the ten or so carriers?

The straight-line distance from Lingshui Airport to the Twin Reefs is about 900 kilometers, although the limit range of the Yunba is 1200 kilometers, it seems that the range is sufficient, the problem is that the loaded Yunba cannot fly at high altitude, and the temporary detour is a high probability event faced by the Yunba in terms of the climate of Nansha.

In addition to one pilot and one radar officer, the deployment of an F14 fighter also requires six ground crews to maintain and maintain the fighter, and the equipment requires eight or nine kinds of equipment such as power generation vehicles, air-conditioned vehicles, hydraulic vehicles, tractors, nitrogen vehicles, refueling vehicles, bomb trailers, and radar environmental control vehicles.

If you consider the Yun-8, which is not a large cargo warehouse, the deployment of an F14 fighter requires at least 6 sorties of the Yun-8 to complete.

Even if it is purely on paper, the staff officer can conclude that the use of the Yun-8 + F14 combination for long-range rapid deployment is of little value.

When the staff department carried out paper operations, it was very confusing, and Ning Lei simply threw a data to the staff officer, with a full load of 35 tons and a range of more than 1,500 kilometers, so let's do this first.

The General Staff Department is even more blindfolded, this cargo can top three and transport eight, which factory made this plane, and it can fly This data and seven points of news are on it, and it is impossible for China to be without movement.

A bold staff officer directly asked Ning Lei if the background of this plan was the Twin Reefs, Ning Lei nodded with a smile, and said that since that place would be under the control of the war zone from now on, of course it would be used as a background.

Speaking of the Twin Reefs, the Navy has long regarded the Twin Reefs as its most important base in the open ocean, after the Twin Reefs started, from Xiao Guanghua down, the core layer of the Republic Navy has landed on the island within a year to conduct field investigations, it can be said that Liang Yuan's success in acquiring the Huangpu Shipyard and the navy's secret promotion also has a great relationship.

In the Navy's planning, the Twin Reefs are the Hawaii of the Republic, and there are even a large number of radical voices within the Navy, intending to change the home port of the South China Sea Fleet of the Republic from Zhanjiang to the Twin Reefs in ten years, which can be called the South China Sea Fleet's version of the Son of Heaven guarding the country.

However, the Air Force also thinks that the Twin Reefs are a good place, and if a large air base is built in the Twin Reefs, the entire South Seas will become the back garden of the Air Force of the Republic, such as strangling Japan's maritime lifeline or something, it is simply too convenient.

As a result, the Air Force felt that this place was much stronger than Hainan Island and Woody Island, and wanted to occupy more space.

The Battle of Nansha is regarded as the largest expansion of territory since the founding of the Republic, and how can the Republic Army give up on the achievements of this kind of thing, in order to show the degree of attention, the garrison of the Twin Reefs Army also has to send a reinforced regiment up.

The problem is that these two islands are only a little bigger, and the two islands plus a piece are only 0.62 square kilometers, which is called every inch of land, even if the housing prices in Beijing and Shanghai rise in later generations, they can't compare.

As a result, in order to divide this big fart place, the three-party Luo Circle battle lasted for two years.

At the end of last year, when the budget was rushed, Navy Commander Xiao Guanghua claimed that he would rather sell pants than build the Twin Reefs into unsinkable aircraft carriers in the South China Sea.

Then, Air Force Commander Lin Xiaoshan replied, didn't the navy's pants be sold to Jian-7 last year, and this time it should be worthless pants.

The Navy sold pants to develop the J-7 was not pitted by the Air Force, and the old hatred of the former came to mind, because of this, the two commanders with unresolved grievances almost fought again, and finally the real big man really couldn't see it, and it had been two years since the Twin Reefs had not yet ended.

Of course, at the same time, the three armed forces are under the leadership of the direct superiors of the services, and the Central Military Commission is the commander of the theater through Ninglei, who directly commands the most elite armed forces deployed at the forefront of the republic.

Compared with the previous period when conducting amphibious operations, the Central Military Commission needed to transfer to combat units through the headquarters of the three armed services to the military regions, and then coordinate and cooperate through the general staff of the three services.

At present, the Republic and the other side of the strait are playing the emotional card, and it is necessary to put the war zone directly in the Yangtze River Valley, which is really a slight obstacle, and even if the movement in Nansha is a little bigger, the other side of the strait will not think too much sensitively.

After the peace in Nansha, Liang Yuan's mind was either on Yuanjia or on the two girls, and he didn't notice the follow-up construction of the Twin Reefs at all, and he didn't know that Ning Lei had become the head of the largest armed force in Nansha.

"There is an F14 escort throughout the whole process, Jiajia and Feifei, do we want to go to Lingnan in advance to take Belfast to Shanghai?"

Ning Wanfei was a little impatient, Ning Wanjia was deeply impressed by the experience of flying Zhanjiang on the Yunba tractor, and after glancing at Liang Yuan, she said that she couldn't talk and chat during the whole flight, so she followed you when she was stupid.

"In this way, Uncle Ning, I asked the Hong Kong side to drive the car to Yangcheng, and board the plane there, except for leaving me a place to transport the car, everything that goes to him is under Uncle Ning's command. ”

"Car, Uncle Ning will definitely deliver it to you on time, how did the three of you arrange it during the summer vacation, Xiaoyuan is over in Shanghai, if you are not in a hurry to go back to Shencheng, it is best to go to Yangcheng, the Nansha Theater of the Republic was officially established this month, and Uncle Ning is still waiting for you to send the opening red envelope." ”

"Why did the war zone go to Nansha?"

Liang Yuan blurted out in surprise, but after a little thought, he understood that he was taking care of the emotions on the other side of the strait, and it was really not too far to go north from the South China Sea to the Taiwan Strait.

"There must be a red envelope, congratulations to Uncle Ning for officially forming a fast reaction force, and the military rank is about to move, right?"

"Haha, Xiaoyuan really thought the same as Aunt Ning, and Aunt Ning's first sentence when she heard the news was also this question. ”

Tang Wan leaned out of the kitchen again and added with a smile.

Ning Lei glanced at the two of them angrily, and said helplessly: "I won't move for the time being, and if I want to move, I have to wait until the fast reaction force is basically formed." ”

In the era of the founding of the Republic of China, the average age of major generals was 43 years old, and Ning Lei's promotion to the rank of general would definitely not take more than two years.

"Ah, I just remembered, wouldn't the war zone be built in Nansha, wouldn't the fast reaction force and Uncle Ning have to go to Nansha?"

"Don't worry, I'm too lazy to toss with your Uncle Ning, Aunt Ning is still counting on going home to relax in the roof garden when she is resting, and the two of them will not go anywhere if they stay in Shencheng. ”

Tang Wan smiled and lifted the meaning that Liang Yuan had not spoken.

"That's it, Mom can take a United Airlines flight to see Dad. ”

Ning Wanjia immediately followed Tang Wan's meaning and knocked this stubble to death.

"Jiajia, you don't feel heartache at all, do you have a mother commuting?"

Tang Wanjia angrily dropped the shovel and pinched Ning Wanjia's face.

Ning Wanjia hugged Ning Wanfei with a crimson face to avoid Tang Wan, and at the same time wiped off the bows and bells that bound the hair of the two people and threw them to Liang Yuan, and then the two girls who were hugging each other turned around a few times, and Tang Wan confused people.

"Mom, don't pinch me, I'm Fei Fei. ”

"I'm Fei Fei, Mom, you're misidentifying someone again. ”

Looking at the two girls who had become drama spirits, Tang Wan could only look at Ning Lei and smile bitterly.

The girl got into trouble because she was messing with herself, and Liang Yuan couldn't watch it.

"In the future, won't Yuanjia's oil fields be covered by Uncle Ning?"

"In a few years, in the entire South China Sea, Yuan Jia will go wherever he likes to go, right?"

Liang Yuan asked Ning Lei excitedly.

"If Xiaoyuan wants to do whatever he wants in the South China Sea, it depends on the operation of Yuanjia Thousand Institutes and Kryptonite Design in the next few years. ”

Since Liang Yuan threw out a natural gas field worth hundreds of millions of yuan, Ning Lei and Comrade Lao Liang completely gave up the education of Liang Yuan, and the two would talk about Marx with Liang Yuan in their spare time, but now they are completely letting go.

However, Ning Lei, who realized that the local tyrant was on his side, turned from the original lack of support for Yuanjia's entry into the military industry to moderate support, probably because he felt that such a thigh fell from the sky at home, and he really couldn't explain it if he let it go.

"I told Uncle Ning a small piece of news, Jardine is talking about the merger and acquisition of Hong Kong and China Gas, once Jardine Matheson merges China Gas successfully, it will be part or all of the Liwan natural gas field according to the situation, and seek the possibility of listing through the channel. ”

"From next year at the latest, if there is no big move, Yuanjia's cash flow will be very abundant, and there will be no problem in maintaining the research and development of Huangpu, so Uncle Ning will rest assured. ”
