Chapter 395: Sea Test (I)
The president represents the country, even if it is a former president, not the current president, it must be counted on the head of the country. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This country has done so many things that have offended the Celestial Empire, and it is not an easy thing to ask the Celestial Empire to forgive this country.
To our surprise, our country not only forgave the country, but also promised to give economic assistance and provide military aid. These are benefits that the former president of this country wanted to ask for from the United States, but could not get.
Why would our country agree?
What's going on here?
We are all curious, and of course Ye Chen will not be an exception. Before, he didn't have a chance to ask, but now that he has the opportunity, he must ask clearly.
"Xiao Ye, I found you a bit of gossip." Admiral Gan pointed at Ye Chen and smiled.
"Xiao Ye, you have always cared about the news, you can just watch the news more." Admiral Luo reminded him.
"News?" Ye Chen frowned and thought about it, and said, "There is one piece of news related to this country that happened during this time, this country invited our country to help fight pirates, or pirates in Malacca. ”
Admiral Luo and Admiral Gan laughed but did not say a word.
"Yes, yes, it must be." Ye Chen was sure and said, "The Strait of Malacca is one of the busiest golden waterways in the world, and it is also the throat of our country's overseas trade. It has always been controlled by the United States, which has become a sharp sword hanging over the head of our country, which may fall at any time, which is extremely detrimental to our country, which has always wanted to make a fuss about this. For this reason, there are rumors that our country is going to repair the Kra Isthmus. ”
The importance of the Strait of Malacca does not need to be said, as anyone with a little military-political vision knows how important it is for our country. The vast majority of our country's overseas trade passes through here.
Worryingly, however, the Strait of Malacca is controlled by the United States.
A small, yellow-skinned and white-hearted country on the side of the strait has always followed the United States, and its airspace is completely open to the United States, and US military planes can come and go whenever they want.
This is too much of a threat to our country.
Although the United States has repeatedly proclaimed freedom of navigation, who believes the nonsense of the United States?
In the history of the world throughout the ages, has there been a war that has not cut off the enemy's trade?
Look at the wolf pack tactics of Germany against Britain in World War II, knocking out so many British transport ships. If the United States had not declared war and fished out Britain, Britain would have been suffocated to death.
Once the Celestial Empire and the United States have a confrontation, the United States will certainly use its advantage in controlling the Strait of Malacca to deal with the Celestial Empire.
It can be said that the Strait of Malacca has always been a choke point that the Celestial Empire is most worried about and wants to control. In the past, we didn't have that strength, but now that the strength has come up, it's just a time away.
Isn't this the right time?
Admiral Gan patted Ye Chen's shoulder and said, "Xiao Ye, pay more attention to the news 'in the future'." ”
He bit the word "later" a little harder.
This is hinting to Ye Chen, the benefits must be more than this, there will be more, Ye Chen understood, nodded, and no longer dwelled on this matter. There will be a lot of twists and turns, and it will only be released when the time is ripe, and now, it's just the beginning.
The three of them talked and chatted as they walked, and now they have walked around the island and have a comprehensive understanding of the man-made island, and Ye Chen is satisfied.
During the meal, Admiral Luo fulfilled his promise and entertained Ye Chen with the island's homegrown meat and vegetables.
"This water is good, it's sweet." Ye Chen took a sip of fresh water and praised it.
"This is the drinking water that our country gets after treating seawater, and it tastes similar to mountain spring water, a little sweet." Admiral Luo explained to Ye Chen: "It is not technically difficult to treat seawater into drinking water, and our country has done it. ”
Seawater contains a lot of salt and cannot be drunk directly. If you drink seawater directly, the consequences are very serious, which is equivalent to marinating human flesh. Drinking water on the sea is not an easy task, and the seawater must be treated.
This is too technically difficult, and our country is at the forefront of the world.
"This meat is very delicious and fragrant." Ye Chen ate a piece of braised pork and exclaimed.
"This meat was raised by the soldiers, it tastes good, right?" Admiral Luo also ate a piece of meat, and was very emotional, and said: "In the past, the life of our island guards was called a hard life, and canned food was the mainstay. If you eat too much, you will almost become canned. ”
"Not only the soldiers defending the island, but also the submarine forces every time they go to sea, they eat canned food and canned food, and after a long time, they become canned food. Over the years, with the continuous improvement of the country's scientific and technological strength, we have solved this problem. Now, when submarine forces go to sea, they can eat a variety of foods, and they don't have to be scared when they see canned food anymore. Admiral Gan added.
Although Ye Chen has never been to the submarine force, as a military fan, he still knows how hard the submarine force used to be, and this is a chore. If you go out to sea once, you may stay in the sea for several months, and every day is canned food, who is not afraid?
"At the military parade marking the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, our logistics supply team appeared, which had never been done before. This shows that our country has made great strides in logistical supply. Ye Chen commented.
"Yes, indeed." Admiral Gan nodded, and continued: "If we want to talk about logistics and supplies, we really have to learn from Lao Meimei. Although the United States is arrogant and does not regard others in its eyes, it has a reason why it can become the most powerful country in the world. For example, in World War II, the United States transported millions of troops across the ocean to the European theater and to the Asian theater. Moreover, it is even more difficult to imagine how much supply pressure there is in logistics. However, the United States is doing a good job, and the supply work is remarkable. ”
Our ancestors said that "before the soldiers and horses move, the grain and grass go first", which is the importance of logistics.
In World War II, the United States sent millions of troops into battle, and the logistical pressure was completely conceivable. The United States can do a good job, and the supplies are timely and in place, which is very rare.
"That's true." Admiral Luo nodded, very much in agreement with this, and said: "Although the United States makes me hateful, we cannot erase the advantages of the United States, and we must learn from what we can learn." ”
Ye Chen exclaimed: "It is a blessing for our country to have two generals with such an open mind!" Blessings to the people! ”
"Xiao Ye, you have won the prize." Admiral Gan waved his hand and said: "We must learn from our own people, and even more so from the enemy!" ”
Bang Bang Bang!
Ye Chen applauded and praised these words.
The enemy is the enemy, but the enemy also has strengths. The enemy's strengths are not to be learned, but to be learned.
"It's delicious, crispy, and has a great texture." Ye Chen ate some vegetables again and couldn't stop applauding.
"It's quite feeling, it's delicious." Admiral Gan also ate some vegetables and echoed a sentence.
"To live, to raise pigs, to grow vegetables, you need fresh water. Moreover, the consumption of fresh water is not small, and it is impossible to meet such a large demand if it is transported from the mainland. It is really wise for the country to start with seawater treatment technology first. Ye Chen said with emotion.
When the troops are stationed, they need to live and need fresh water. It also needs to raise pigs and grow vegetables, which requires more fresh water. It is impossible to meet the needs by transporting fresh water from the interior alone.
The state takes water on site and gets fresh water by treating seawater, which really finds the source of the problem.
"Seawater treatment technology is being studied in many countries, but not many have reached the level of our country." Admiral Luo said.
"From this, it can be seen that the country has been preparing to recover the South China Sea for a long time." Ye Chen was very happy.
It is not easy to treat seawater into fresh water, and the technical difficulty is not small. There are many countries that want to develop such technology, but there are few that are really successful, and the Celestial Empire is one of the leading ones.
Moreover, this technique takes quite a bit of time to be successfully studied. It can be seen that the country has been preparing to recover the South China Sea for a long time. Now, the good news keeps coming and it's encouraging, it's just harvest time, and the preparations are already underway.
"The South China Sea is our country's inherent territorial waters, and it is a precious heritage left to us by our ancestors, and we must take it back, and no one can stop it." Admiral Gan waved his right hand and said very domineeringly: "Whoever dares to stop it, we will let whoever can't eat and walk around." ”
"In the past, our national strength was not good, and we did not have the strength to recover the South China Sea, but it does not mean that we have done nothing, we are making preparations and solving the problems in the early stage." Admiral Luo said.
Without the accumulation of technology in the early stage, it would be impossible for our country to artificially build islands in the South China Sea and raise pigs and vegetables on the islands.
This vision is very long-term, and Ye Chen is very emotional.
Ye Chen was very happy to eat this meal, until he really couldn't eat it anymore, then he hiccuped, reluctantly put down the chopsticks, touched his round belly, and muttered: "I found that my belly has always been quite big, why is it so small today?" ”
"It's not that your belly is small, it's that your eyes are big." Admiral Luo said.
"What do you mean?" Ye Chen was puzzled.
"There's an old saying you haven't heard? It's called 'big eyes and small belly', and it's about people like you. Admiral Luo teased: "It's obvious that my belly is so big, and I always want to eat more." ”
"Isn't that delicious?" Ye Chen looked at the food in front of him, his face ached, and said, "I can eat pork and vegetables raised on the artificial island, and there are not many vegetables in the entire Celestial Empire, can I eat less?" If I don't eat more this time, will I have a chance to eat again in the future? ”
Although the country has built islands in the South China Sea, there are only a few of them. The pigs raised and the vegetables planted were enough for the officers and soldiers on the island to eat, and they achieved self-sufficiency. But that's just that. If it weren't for Ye Chen's visit to the South China Sea to experiment this time, he really wouldn't have had a chance to eat it, and this opportunity had to be cherished.
This night, Ye Chen fell asleep listening to the sound of the waves, which was very sweet, which was a rare good night's sleep.
The next day, Ye Chen got up early in the morning to see the sunrise on the sea, it was a rare beauty, Ye Chen was relaxed and happy, and he felt that this trip was worthwhile.
After watching the sunrise and having breakfast, Ye Chen and the others got busy, and the sea experiment was about to begin.
"Will it work?" Ye Chen asked himself in his heart.
