Chapter 381: Visit Yazhou Naval Base

PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend mmmmm2 and the deep-sea shrimp (three). Thanks to the book friend Chen 1 and China Raul for their tips.

**Soon returned from the military region, and brought a reply from the military region, which has officially approved the request of the Yazhou base to participate in the development of Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, and Wuzhizhou Island will also be leased to the Fang family for 70 years, which can be said to be all going well. However, it took a lot of effort for Qi Yan to raise funds, and finally she took out a loan from the bank to get together the funds and hold 20% of the shares with **. As long as Fang Mingyuan and the Yazhou Municipal Government formally sign an agreement on the development of Yalong Bay and Haitang Bay, these agreements will come into effect.

**When he officially signed the agreement with Fang Mingyuan, although he didn't say much, he was still quite excited, and even took the initiative to invite Fang Mingyuan and them to visit the base.

Mr. Fang and his wife and Li Zilin were old and were not interested in these, so they stayed in the villa and did not come, but Fang Mingyuan and Li Yuxin showed great interest in being able to get close to the warship with their own eyes, and Yu Qiuxuan, who was a little curious about the Republic Navy, also took Qing'er to the Yazhou Naval Base together.

Regarding the invitation of **, Fang Mingyuan once asked Lu Liang very curiously, doesn't this violate the base's confidentiality regulations? The military bases in Huaxia are rarely open to the public, even if they are just an ordinary infantry battalion, it is not easy for many ordinary people to go in and have a look. Yazhou Naval Base, perhaps the southernmost large military base in China, let these people enter, will it bring any trouble to ** and Lu Liang?

At that time, Lu Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly on his face, which made Fang Mingyuan feel a little strange, there was nothing out of the ordinary about his question? Lu Liang zuihou just said, when you get to the base, you understand.

The convoy set off from Yalong Bay, followed the coastline to the west, crossed Haitang Bay and traveled more than ten miles, and then came to the gate of the Yazhou Naval Base. Since it was Lu Liang who came to greet him personally, the convoy quickly passed the gate inspection and drove into the interior of the base.

If the sea is the battlefield where warships gallop, then the military port is the anchorage where sailors live. As the place with the most complete support facilities for the navy's naval vessels, the military port is also an important rear base for warships going to sea. It can be said that the quality of the construction of supporting projects in military ports in ancient and modern times and at home and abroad has a direct bearing on the level of the navy's combat effectiveness. In his previous life and this life, Fang Mingyuan had the opportunity to set foot in a regular military base for the first time, so he was really looking forward to it. Yu Qiuxuan, who was sitting next to him, hugged Qing'er, and the mother and daughter were also looking around curiously.

Upon entering the base gate, a straight avenue leads to the main office building of the base. On both sides of the road, there are training grounds, and there are many soldiers on the field conducting various trainings. All kinds of slogans were shouted loudly.

"Political Commissar Lu, there are so many officers and soldiers in your base?" Fang Mingyuan pointed to the soldiers on the training ground outside the window and said in surprise. Although Fang Mingyuan was not so clear about the type of ships in China and the number of officers and men in the standard registration, he still remembered that a frigate or destroyer, depending on the degree of modernization of the ship, generally needed 200 to 300 people, unless it was an aircraft carrier, it would generally not exceed this number. It is estimated that there are nearly 1,000 soldiers he saw on the training ground along the way, and if we include the personnel of combat readiness patrols, sea training, theoretical study, office civilian personnel, and logistics and supply departments, the total number of personnel at the Yazhou Naval Base is quite considerable.

"Fang Shao, you think it's wrong" It seems that it is not the first time that Lu Liang has faced such a problem, and he quickly reacted to Fang Mingyuan's meaning and said with an embarrassed face, "There are no ships going out to sea to patrol and train these days, but on land, everyone can't be idle, so they can only train their physical fitness according to the actual situation." ”

Fang Mingyuan was silent for a moment and nodded slightly, although Lu Liang said it more vaguely, but he already understood, it seems that the financial situation of this Yazhou naval base is indeed worrying, and even the cost of sea patrol and training is beyond his means. Although he already knew in his previous life that in the 90s, the life of the Chinese military was very difficult, prices were constantly rising, and equipment upgrading was becoming more and more expensive, but the proportion of military spending in state expenditure was getting smaller and smaller, and the result was that military factories were turning military into civilian use one after another, or they had to reduce production and stop production, the speed of equipment upgrading in the army slowed down, and the training intensity of military personnel decreased. A branch of the armed forces like the Army is a little better, and a branch of the armed forces like the Air Force and Navy with a strong jishu character, as long as they are trained, it means that the RMB will be consumed in a loud manner, but if they don't train, how can the soldiers be proficient in jishu, so this day is even more sad.

The convoy drove until the front of the building stopped, ** at this time has been standing in front of the building with the officers in the base, 50 million yuan, in the nineties, is already a rather amazing huge amount of money, even ** themselves, did not expect that a small area of undeveloped island, can be rented out at such a sky-high price. Moreover, Fang Mingyuan very readily agreed to use the 50 million yuan of equity as collateral and lend 40 million yuan to the base, which is like timely rain for the Yazhou Naval Base, which is already financially stretched. Therefore, for Fang Mingyuan's arrival, they can be said to be very welcome.

"Mrs. Guo, Fang Shao, welcome to visit the Yazhou Naval Base" ** stepped forward and shook hands with the two and smiled, "I hope you can spend a happy day here." ”

"Commander Zhao is polite, I have been curious about the motherland's navy for a long time. I would also like to thank Commander Zhao for giving me this opportunity to get up close and personal with the warship. Yu Qiuxuan smiled.

"Then we must fully satisfy Mrs. Guo's curiosity today, but the scale of our base is small, and the ships moored are not the most advanced in our country, I am afraid that Mrs. Guo, who is used to seeing the British Royal Navy, will be disappointed." Haha laughed.

"No matter how backward the ships are, that is also the fleet of the British that belongs to our Chinese people, no matter how mighty it is, it is also the British I believe that the navy of the motherland will eventually develop and grow and catch up." Yu Qiuxuan's words immediately won her a lot of favor in the minds of many officers at the Yazhou Naval Base. There are also many people who nod secretly, the Guo family is worthy of being patriotic businessmen in Hong Kong, and it can be heard from Yu Qiuxuan's words that although they are under the rule of the British colonial government, they still think that they are the descendants of Yan and Huang.

**daxiao got up, stretched out his hand and said, "Mrs. Guo, Fang Shao, please"

The office building of Yazhou Naval Base is a six-story building built in the 60s, which looks very sturdy and sturdy, but when you enter it, you can still see the erosion of it by the years. Fang Mingyuan noticed that everything in the building was very clean as far as the eye could see, but occasionally passing by an office or something, he could see that the office equipment inside was quite old. A lot of tables and chairs, it seems, are older than his age. From this point, Fang Mingyuan realized more clearly that the Yazhou Naval Base is really not ordinary poor.

"I'm sorry, we didn't consider that there would be VIPs like Mrs. Guo and Fang Shao to visit, so there was no elevator or other equipment. So I had to trouble Mrs. Guo and Fang Shao to climb the stairs. Everyone walked up the stairs, ** with a little apology.

Yu Qiuxuan smiled and said, "It's okay, Commander Zhao, I think this is also a way to exercise all the time." In Hong Kong, there are many people who use vehicles, elevators, and air conditioners all year round, and the amount of activity on weekdays is not enough, resulting in a decline in physical fitness. Many health experts have repeatedly called for strengthening physical exercise and enhancing physical fitness. And I'm ready today. She gestured to her feet. **They noticed that Yu Qiuxuan's feet were not Gaogen shoes, but a pair of white travel shoes. Everyone laughed knowingly.

Accompanied by ** and others, Fang Mingyuan and Yu Qiuxuan visited the office building and saw the honor room of the Yazhou Naval Base...... Only then did we drive to the dock at the base.

As soon as they got out of the car, the eyes of Fang Mingyuan, Yu Qiuxuan and the others were attracted by the ships moored on the dock. Fang Mingyuan is still a human being in two lifetimes, and it is the first time he has seen the warships of the motherland so closely, although he knows that these ships must be quite different from the main ships of European and American countries, but he is still excited in his heart. Without a strong navy, it is impossible to protect the country's maritime frontiers, and China's long coastline is a loophole where the enemy can launch attacks everywhere. In this regard, whether it was during the Qing Dynasty's several invasion wars or during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Japanese landed at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and the Chinese people were invaded by enemies from the sea again and again.

"Yazhou Naval Base, the current main warships are a domestically produced Type 051 destroyer and three Jianghu-class frigates, Mrs. Guo, Fang Shao, this is the Jianghu-class frigate." ** Pointing to the ships in front of him, he said, "They can be said to be the main ship equipment of our Navy, and the current backbone Liliang." ”

"Over there, the larger tonnage and longer hull are the Type 051 destroyers, which are often referred to as brigade-class destroyers." ** and pointed to a larger battleship in the distance.

Brigade class destroyer? Fang Mingyuan's eyes immediately looked to that side with the fingers of **, to be honest, Fang Mingyuan, who knew nothing about military equipment in his previous life, still had some impressions of the domestically produced ships, in addition to the modern-class destroyers imported from Russia that were later equipped, that is, the brigade-class destroyers.
