Sansha City, because of its unique geographical location and environment, is completely different from the positioning of other cities in mainland China.

In the whole of China, only Sansha City is under quasi-military management.

This kind of military management mechanism is different from that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the number of active navy, land, and air forces, armed police, coast guard, police, and reserve militia in the whole city of Sansha City is more than three times that of ordinary people.

To a certain extent, the Huaxia government first considered building Sansha City into a maritime military base, and then the city.

Although the Indochina Peninsula has now been brought into the sphere of China's power, there are still certain factors of instability in Annam and Laos, and no one can say whether the current government will be overthrown and reorganized by the opposition forces.

The construction of Sansha City can echo the naval and air force military bases set up in China on the Zhongdao Peninsula from afar, and once a change occurs on the peninsula, it can form a pincer offensive with left and right attacks at any time to quell the chaos.

In addition, the increasing number of offshore oil wells in the South China Sea also needs a safe and stable logistics support base for material supply, and charging a certain amount of "protection fees" to these Sino-foreign joint venture oil companies is the main source of economic income for the Sansha municipal government at present.

Of course, ocean-going cargo ships from Europe, Africa, and the Middle East to Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions by sea must pay a certain toll to Sansha City when they pass through the waters under the jurisdiction of Sansha City.

It is precisely because of this particularity of Sansha City that Sansha City must have a certain military deterrent power, so that businessmen from all countries can honestly obey the jurisdiction.

Yang Weiping has just arrived on Woody Island. When they went to inspect the naval aviation military base on the island for the first time, Xiao Hanjie, Wang Xinmin and others felt that this was normal.

On the contrary, Chen Yeping, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, felt a little weird. He has sent so many cadres to various places to take office, and it is the first time he has met a "freak" like Yang Weiping. He was not in a hurry to go to the municipal government to fulfill the procedures for taking up his post and take office, but wanted to handle the relationship with the local military first. It seems as if Sansha City is not a local government, but a military base of the military.

Chen Yeping's feeling was not wrong. In Yang Weiping's eyes, Sansha City is a large-scale maritime military base! Yang Weiping did not regard Sansha City as an ordinary city at all. Otherwise, he would not have accepted this appointment from the Central Committee.

In addition to 24 Jian-14 heavy fighters, the 1st Fighter Group of the Naval Aviation also has 24 Qiang-5 B2 light multi-role fighters, and six H-6 fighters equipped with WS8 Kunlun engines. Eight straight-nine Longbow utility helicopters. Twelve Wuzhi Ten Crossbow helicopter gunships.

Seeing the military planes neatly parked on the tarmac runway and in the hangar, representing the new generation of the Chinese Air Force's air strike power, Yang Weiping felt a sense of relief in his heart that he had not lived in vain in this life.

Only he knows that the Huaxia Air Force can have the current thriving situation. How difficult it is.

Arguably. The Chinese Air Force of this period. The development potential is even stronger than that of the Chinese Air Force in the 21st century!

In the previous generation, the Huaxia Air Force had missed many good opportunities. Now, Yang Weiping not only firmly seized all these opportunities. And magnify it infinitely!

Chen Yeping, who had a close look at the Air Force's equipment for the first time, was also pleasantly surprised at this time. He stood in front of a Wuzhi Ten Strength Crossbow helicopter gunship parked in the No. 5 hangar, stretched out his hand and gently touched the rocket nest and missiles mounted under the wings, and asked happily: "This is the helicopter gunship imported from the United States? It is really very powerful!"

"Chief, this is my country's own research and development, improvement and manufacturing of Wuzhi Shi. Xiong Guobin proudly explained: "This helicopter has a very energetic name, the crossbow! is the latest new equipment launched by China's Fourth Aviation Industry Group. ”

"Made in my country?" Chen Yeping's eyes were full of disbelief, "Is it really a domestic product?"

"Every part of this plane, including the gong and wire nails, is all made in Huaxia!" Yang Weiping smiled indifferently on the side: "Although this helicopter is imitated and improved on the basis of the AH1W Super Cobra of the United States, whether it is avionics, or engines, including airborne weapons, it is only stronger than the Yankee's Super Cobra!"

"The central government's implementation of the policy of reform and opening up is really very wise and correct!" Chen Yeping praised with deep emotion: "I never thought that China would be able to manufacture such high-tech equipment on its own. ”

Xiao Hanjie looked at Yang Weiping with admiration and said: "The current equipment level of our army is close to that of the world's first-class military power, and the overall strength has undergone earth-shaking changes compared with our army before the reform and opening up. Minister Chen, if you have the opportunity, you can always go to the army more often, it will definitely open your eyes!"

"Uh-huh!" Chen Yeping nodded vigorously and said: "You must go, you must go and see!

A group of people walked and chatted, and unconsciously walked into a maintenance and assembly warehouse.

In the center of the spacious and bright warehouse is an engine test platform, on which a WS10 turbofan engine is under maintenance.

When six ground mechanics in orange uniforms saw Xiong Guobin, Yang Weiping, Xiao Hanjie and others coming in, they quickly stopped what they were doing and stood up and saluted.

Yang Weiping approached the tail flame vent of this WS10, poked his head in to carefully observe the fan blades inside, and from time to time touched this and that with his hands, and asked while observing: "How long has this turbofan been working?"

"Report to the chief, six hundred and forty-nine hours!" replied a mechanic in his forties, "the engine is in good condition, and the hot parts such as turbine blades, spindles, turbine discs, casings, and afterburners are also normal for them to withstand heat and corrosion. The metal surface deposition of each component, the thermal barrier coating and the ceramic coating meet the WS10 standard for normal use loss. The turbine inlet temperature is also stable at 1653K. ”

"It's okay, keep working!" Yang Weiping nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes! The six mechanics immediately took the order and performed their duties. Continue to work as if no one else is around.

After visiting the ground ground work site, Xiong Guobin immediately invited the leaders to the airport control tower.

Xiong Guobin did not deliberately arrange flight training, but according to the normal training syllabus and standards, there happened to be two J-14 and four J-5 B2s conducting routine subject training.

Through the row of spotlessly polished soundproof glass windows in front of the tower, Yang Weiping, Chen Yeping and others held military binoculars and watched the war eagles in the sky make various tactical actions such as climbing, maneuvering, and diving.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Yang Weiping, who personally witnessed the fiercest "Nanding Air Battle" in the Annan War, can see that the technical and tactical level of the No. 1 Fighter Brigade of the Naval Air Force has indeed improved considerably.

Obviously, they strictly carried out Yang Weiping's instruction that "the air force should treat training as actual combat." There was no reduction in training time for fear of crashing the plane. Or modify the training syllabus and standards.

Even training burns money, but soldiers only need to obey orders and don't need to care about anything else. Military spending is the worry of higher-level leaders, and they only need to practice the ability to kill the enemy in a down-to-earth manner.

Chen Yeping and others watched it with relish. From time to time, there were a few exclamations.

Xiong Guobin saw the right time. With a salivating face, he invited Yang Weiping aside. asked in a low voice: "Director Yang, the new J-14, when will we be able to change the outfit of our brigade?"

"Woody Island Naval Aviation Base. It was definitely the first batch of units to be reloaded. Yang Weiping didn't bother with Xiong Guobin's name for him, and said with a smile: "It can be seen that the training work of your brigade is doing well, and I hope you can continue to carry it forward and maintain." Although I no longer work in the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense, I have a good relationship with Director Zou Hua. I'll give you a call and inquire in due course. ”

"Xie Lu, Xie Xie, Director Xie!" Xiong Guobin said thank you with a twinkle in his eyes.

"This base is still a little smaller. Yang Weiping sighed and said: "The geographical conditions of Woody Island are too limited, and we have to continue to find ways to expand the land area." ”

"You're here, there will definitely be a way!" Xiong Guobin said solemnly with a look in his eyes.

"Hehe, I hope!" Yang Weiping smiled and reached out and patted Xiong Guobin's arm gently, "Your training work is good, do a good job!"

"Yes! Xiong Guobin stood up and saluted.

When he left the base, Chen Yeping seemed very interested. All the way, he kept chatting with Yang Weiping about his various experiences in the base, and gave high affirmation to Yang Weiping's words about vigorously developing the tourism resources of Sansha City.

The party, government, and military cadres in Sansha City have basically heard of Yang Weiping's name. It's just that the vast majority of people only hear their names but don't know their people.

From the moment Chen Yeping, deputy director of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee, officially announced the appointment of the CPC Central Committee at the Sansha City Municipal Government Auditorium, Yang Weiping deeply felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

Two days later, Chen Yeping and Xiao Hanjie left Woody Island and headed for Hainan Province on a converted Keeling-class destroyer owned by the Coast Guard.

Yang Weiping originally wanted to arrange for them to take the Tiangong No. 1 special plane, but Chen Yeping politely refused.

With regard to the current work of the Sansha Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Yang Weiping has no idea of a new official taking office for the time being. He entrusted the daily work to Kong Jianhua, executive vice mayor and deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, and calmed down to think about how to develop Bailongwei Island, which had been placed under the jurisdiction of Sansha City.

At present, the main work of Sansha City is that the state invests in reclamation and island expansion, and vigorously builds various coastal defense posts and marine observation stations.

Based on the development of high-tech industries and promoting the economic work of Sansha City, Yang Weiping established a good guiding ideology before he came to Sansha City.

According to the plan, Woody Island will establish a Chinese national marine biological research and research base, and Bailongwei Island is another secret base of Tiangong Laboratory.

The most important thing in conducting scientific research is to introduce talents. The construction of infrastructure in the early stage can be handed over to the PLA engineering unit to be responsible for contracting.

Before coming to Sansha City, Yang Weiping learned from the General Staff Department that officers and men of a company of coastal defense units had been stationed on Bailongwei Island, and that a radar station and missile base had been built on the island.

For the time being, the General Staff Department has not given a clear reply to Yang Weiping's application for the comprehensive development of Bailongwei Island. Therefore, he still has to wait for Ye Jianxiong's call. (To be continued......)
