"Director Liu, we are looking forward to your coming...... Liu Yijiu took the initiative to go to the dilapidated building where the Admiralty was located.

The three main branches of the republic's armed forces, which guard the republic's territorial waters of more than 3 million square nautical miles, are now too shabby.

There are no giant ships of tens of thousands of tons, not even 5,000 tons.

Only a few 051-class guided missile destroyers, designed a decade ago and now lagging behind, are filling the façade. The aircraft carrier fleets or nuclear submarine formations of other countries' navies are about to fill the world's oceans, but China's navy can't even watch the door of its own home.

The 53-class missile frigate, a new type of warship used by the Navy for defense, however, ten years later, it is still not fully successful.

The Ninth Academy intervened, which was very welcome for them.

"Minister Bai, don't be so polite. This time, the main thing is to learn about the progress of the 53 ship. After all, the Ninth Academy did not have the slightest experience in this regard. Even if we can provide advanced electronic systems and radar systems, we will not be able to point fingers at the moment when we can match all aspects of the entire warship. Liu Yijiu said very sincerely.

Kang Mingzhi is very pleased with Liu Yijiu's change of attitude now.

What he is most worried about is that Liu Yijiu has always had the same arrogant attitude as before, which is very difficult for them to accept.

"Director Liu, it is necessary to understand this, after receiving your call, we notified the 701 Institute, and the chief designer of the Deng Jianjun Army hopes that you can go to the 701 Institute to fully understand the situation. Of course, they also hoped that the comrades of the Ninth Academy would visit the 701 Institute. Guide their work. Especially in terms of manufacturing and processing......"

Kang Mingzhi said it very implicitly.

Building a warship requires a lot of money, and Liu Yijiu may not be able to make a decision alone. It's best to let the other relevant leaders of the Ninth Academy come together, so as not to let them rejoice in vain.

Liu Yijiu just smiled at Kang Mingzhi's little action and didn't say anything.

Li Rui, who was already in a very disadvantageous position because of Liu Yijiu's carelessness and the navy, immediately had a seizure: "Director Kang, are you like this? If you don't believe in Comrade Liu Yijiu's right to speak on this, why do you need to look for him? Wouldn't it be nice to let him stay quietly in the mountains? ”

"Comrade Li Rui. You misunderstood, we don't disbelieve Comrade Liu Yijiu's meaning. However, although Comrade Liu Yijiu was the one who made the decision on this matter, he had to carry out his orders by relevant technical personnel. In terms of technology, Director Liu is at the helm. There is only one person at the helm of a warship, but it has to be equipped with hundreds of people to carry out all kinds of operations, don't you say? Bai Meng heard Li Rui's words. It was immediately explained.

Don't believe it's true. But they can't let the other party see that they have no bottom in their hearts.

They don't know much about the situation in the Ninth Academy.

However, the big guy above said that there is nothing wrong with Liu Yijiu for these things, they don't think that Liu Yijiu, a young man, can make a decision, but they always think that Liu Yijiu may be a middleman in the Ninth Academy, and they can easily persuade the big guys in the Ninth Courtyard base to let them agree.

Liu Yijiu heard Bai Meng's words and looked at him with interest.

Nor do they speak.

For Bai Meng's explanation, although it is a bit far-fetched. But it made him listen to it very comfortably, and Bai Meng was a little embarrassed to see it. The blackened old face became red and began to glow, and he said with a smile: "This is natural, the members of the Management Committee of the Ninth Academy will take a plane to Shanghai at noon today." ”

Hearing Liu Yijiu's words, Bai Meng and Kang Mingzhi both breathed a sigh of relief.

The 53-class missile frigate, the Republic's first-class anti-air defense missile frigate, has produced two at present, the first of which is the Su-22 fighter that Liu Yijiu sat on, scared the monkey in the Xisha Islands, and knocked out the 531 ship of a torpedo boat.

This is an advanced missile frigate designed and studied by the 701 Research Institute of the Seventh Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic and built by the Hudong Shipyard.

Whether it is a design institute or a construction unit, it is in Shanghai, a city with a good industrial base, which was once a leased area of all countries.

The reason why Liu Yijiu came here is not only for the 531 ship, but also for the panicked Yunshi design team. This time, I came over to take over the Yunshi team in an all-round way. Until the design unit near the Rongcheng Taipingsi Airport is built, the whole team will continue to stay here.

When Liu Yijiu and others arrived in Shanghai from the capital, Wang Shunyi and others had already arrived.

Deng Jianjun and Mai Dongyue, director of 701 Institute, were obviously more enthusiastic about Liu Yijiu's arrival than the old men who were not easy to contact with Wang Shunyi.

From the dissatisfied faces of Wang Shunyi and others, Liu Yijiu could see that they seemed to be deeply dissatisfied with themselves.

Moreover, the whole scene was also very embarrassing.

"I said Lao Wang, why are you everywhere? Aren't you from the Eighth Academy? There is something going on in the Seventh Academy, and you guys are also showing up? To Liu Yijiu's surprise, they came to 701, and Wang Kai and others from 801 were suddenly there! This gave Liu Yijiu a chance to break this embarrassing atmosphere.

Wang Kai's words to Liu Yijiu, what is it, he himself came here with a cheeky face, and being able to connect with a group of old guys from the Management Committee of the Ninth Academy is in line with the development of their 801 Institute. The weapons and equipment that are developed in tandem are the best.

immediately cheekily said to Liu Yijiu: "Director Liu, our Eighth Academy, the Seventh Academy, and your Ninth Academy, but they are all subordinate to the Ministry of National Defense. There should be more cooperation between fraternal units, and everyone will make progress together......"

Liu Yijiu rolled his eyes and stared at him, but did not speak again.

Originally, according to his plan, he went straight to the point, he wasted too much time outside, and now it seems that Wang Shunyi and the others are very dissatisfied with their faces, so they can only understand the situation first.

Although the 701 Institute is urgent for the Ninth Academy to join, the current situation is not suitable for them to urge too much.

Hearing Liu Yijiu say that he was tired these days, and hoped to arrange a place to rest before talking about things, they also knew that Liu Yijiu had to solve internal problems first. Immediately, the group was arranged in the guest house of 701.

"You said it, until there is no breakthrough in the equipment of the Air Force, there will be no touching of naval equipment! What's going on now? Can the funds of our Ninth Academy cope with such a large number of projects? If you can't chew too much, in the end, other projects may be dragged out by the bottomless hole of the navy......" After Wang Shunyi and the others arrived at the guest house, they gathered in Liu Yijiu's room.

They themselves didn't plan to come here, and they were afraid that they would lose Liu Yijiu's face in front of other units.

"Uncle Wang, uncles, this matter is mine or not, and it goes against our development plan. However, we are also helpless about these things. What is the purpose of the existence of our Nine Courtyards? What happened in Xisha a few days ago, you should be clear! At that time, I was there, if our warships were advanced enough, would we not be able to protect even our own little pond in the South China Sea? Why are the monkeys invading? And not because our navy is too weak! At the beginning, I was on the 531 ship, and all kinds of problems emerged one after another, the command system and control system were full of problems, and the technology in our hands could change this situation! Liu Yijiu explained very seriously.

This is the first time that the Management Committee has challenged his resolution.

The navy is a hole, it can't be filled at all, a small frigate tens of millions, not to mention even more huge destroyers, missile cruisers and aircraft carriers!

The cost of a heavy aircraft carrier formation of the US imperialists is more than $5 billion, and the cost of maintenance and carrier-based aircraft is even higher.

That's basically half the cost of the republic!

"Where's the money! Now what we lack is not only technology, but also capital! Although the Ninth Academy said that it has a lot of money in its hands, how much money do we still have to use for naval equipment? Do you want to do it with fighter planes? Do you want to be lucky? There are also air tankers on Qin Fei's side......, etc., "Wang Yueshan naturally doesn't want Liu Yijiu to weaken his investment in air force equipment because of his investment in the navy."

The military does not spend much, there are still millions of troops to support, and a larger military industrial system has to be maintained.

The projects of the Ninth Academy itself are all large consumers of funds.

"Xiao Liu, you really don't think about this matter......" Xie Heping also sighed, for such a thing, everyone in the base wants to do more.

The problem is that you need money to do everything.

The Ninth Academy does not make money itself.

No, it's not that the Ninth Academy doesn't make money by itself, but that the Ninth Academy itself can only make 10 million US dollars a month, and the maximum production capacity is only 30 million US dollars, and this 10 million US dollars has to be washed by Nipu Dosang and abroad before it can be used. This money was not made for the Nine Courtyards themselves, but for Nipu Dosan.

There is only about 200 million money every year, and although the profit is high regardless of the cost, it cannot be used directly and casually.

"It's true, but we can't do it right now. As soon as the USSR ceased to be our enemy, the main threat to our defense security would come from the sea. The country pursues a defensive strategy, but we cannot afford to fail to protect even our small ponds in the South China Sea......"

"Aren't you expanding on Woody Island over there, and you're going to build an airport on it?"

"An airport on an island is not enough! Our fighters have a combat radius of 700 kilometers, and even if they can reach the South China Sea, how long can they stay there? Neither the Navy nor the Air Force can give up development under the current circumstances. We must have an advanced fighter with advanced performance and a combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers. At the same time, we must have more powerful corvettes when we cannot mass-equip the Air Force and naval aviation! Even large destroyers! ”

Liu Yijiu said this very sincerely.

The republic can do without aircraft carriers, it can do without mobile missile depots, but it cannot do without large warships for anti-submarine air defense at sea! (To be continued.) )
