The 531 ship has never been truly combat-ready.

From its launch in the seventies until its decommissioning in the early nineties, it has been a test ship.

In Liu Yijiu's original world, in the Battle of Chigua Reef that broke out in the Nansha Islands, the naval guns of the 531 ship fired only 52 guns, which was much stronger than this time, and there were only more than 30 failures at that time, and this time it was directly hundreds of ......

Of course, the only difference is that the 701 Institute, which designed this missile ship, and the 801 Institute, which designed the anti-ship missile, put the anti-ship missile they developed on the already crowded deck!

So that this frigate not only has air defense capabilities, but also anti-ship capabilities.

The Navy hopes to take this opportunity to get the Ministry of Defense to agree to equip the Navy with this new warship on a large scale, thereby increasing the strength of the Navy.

However, Liu Yijiu's comments made them completely lose their chance and lost hope -- the Ministry of Defense of the Republic will certainly not agree to the warships that have problems with large-scale equipment. This is an act of wasting the already modest amount of military spending and a crime against the entire national defense cause.

However, Liu Yijiu's next words made the originally lost hope of the navy bosses reappear.

"Although the 531 ship has too many problems, and the combat effectiveness is basically not strong, if the Soviet fighter jets discover this, the final fate of this warship can be imagined, but through the evaluation and understanding of the entire warship in the past few days, according to some of the existing technology of our Ninth Academy, the performance of the 531 ship can be fundamentally improved. It is entirely possible to ensure maritime rights and interests in the territorial waters of the South China Sea before the design of larger and more advanced warships......"

For the 531 ship, Liu Yijiu had to work hard to improve.

In the current situation, there is no trace of the 052 ship. Even the design is not finished.

The Soviets have already begun the construction of their aircraft carriers, more large warships of the US imperialists are about to be launched, and even some small countries have numerous huge warships.

The main warships of the republic are still four Soviet-backed Anshan-class ships......

"At present, our navy is weak, there is no way, the country is engaged in economic construction. Military spending is constantly being compressed...... "The military bigwigs know these problems very clearly.

The huge army occupies the vast majority of the military budget. There is also the threat of the Air Force in the face of a large number of Soviet fighters, and the last backfire is the most obvious problem, once the Soviets raid the republic, under their huge fleet. The air defense of the republic is simply not enough to see.

The reaction of the Hongqi-2 anti-aircraft missile was too slow. And the position is easy to detect.

The other air defense systems were even worse, and by the time they reacted, the other side had already dropped their bombs and ran away.

To build the Navy at this time, there is no money!

"The Ninth Academy participated in the design improvement of the 531 ship, and provided technical assistance in electronics and machinery manufacturing...... Liu Yijiu directly dispelled Long Yaohua's worries.

Now they are the only ones who can afford to spend a lot of money on research.

"Director Liu, are you serious?" As the Minister of the Navy, Bai Meng has never been so excited as he is now. "You're not playing with us?"

Even these words came out, which shows how eager the Admiralty is for the Ninth Academy to participate in this.

"Naturally, it's no joke. Our defense. Not only the defense of the continent, but also our territorial waters! Even if our national defense strategy is only for coastal defense, if we cannot even maintain our sovereignty over territorial waters, what dignity does our country have? Liu Yijiu nodded solemnly and said.

He wants to build the 531 ship into the most advanced missile frigate!

Even more than the 56 ships that will be studied in the 21st century!

Under the current circumstances, expanding a warship with a full load displacement of nearly 2,000 tons to a warship with a standard displacement of more than 2,000 tons is a pressure on China's military industry, but it is not impossible to solve!

Isn't the Type 052 battleship gradually expanding its tonnage!

"Also, I hope that the military will be able to contact the Pakistani side so that they can expedite the Iowa level procurement with the United States. Wait a little longer, and it is estimated that there will be no possibility! It's still the same sentence, the money is from our nine courtyards! "Liu Yijiu has always been obsessed with the Iowa-class battleships.

Once that thing appeared in the South China Sea, no one would dare to make a mistake.

The competition between the Americans and the Soviets has now shifted, and it turns out that the battleships have lost much of a presence with the improvement of the new fighters.

In front of the Kirov-class missile cruisers of the Soviet sea-based missile hedgehogs, it was simply not enough to see.

The Soviet Union's huge strategic nuclear submarine force does not have a stronger presence in the entire sea area than the huge aircraft carrier fleet of the US imperialists, but it has a stronger military threat! Otherwise, the Soviet Union was much worse than the Western forces led by the United States, and the US imperialists still did not dare to go too far.

"You have too many things in your hands now, isn't it a little inappropriate to meddle in naval equipment again?" Li Yunlong frowned and reminded Liu Yijiu.

Now in the hands of the Ninth Academy, there are a large number of projects, any of these projects are very important, the financial pressure is not big for the Ninth Academy at present, but directly interfering in the equipment of the navy is equivalent to independently developing this aspect of technology......

"Chief, there is nothing out of place. The existence of the Ninth Academy is to protect the country's national defense and security. Now that our maritime rights and interests are constantly being encroached upon, and our navy cannot even produce a warship of more than 1,000 tons, even if we defend the land and the sky, what will we do at sea? From the Raven ...... After the war, we suffered hundreds of years of humiliation, and these are all from the sea......" Liu Yijiu took a deep breath.

I can't do that much now.

Originally, he thought that history would continue as before, and that a naval war would break out in the South China Sea between China and Vietnam in 88 years.

Little did he know that his construction activities in the Paracel Islands had aroused the vigilance of the Soviet Union and Vietnam, and the Vietnamese had come to the construction site on Woody Island.

Can't wait any longer!

Even if it may affect the development and progress of the entire Ninth Academy, it cannot wait.

The model of development that the republic used to have was only a reference and nothing else.

After the outbreak of the war, the performance of 531 was revealed, and Liu Yijiu changed his original mind. Military aircraft must not only be available, but also naval equipment. When you really can't do it, you can only give up Yun Ten!

Liu Yijiu now understands why the Republic gave up Yun Shi back then, not only because someone took the benefits of the US imperialists, but also because the leadership of the Republic was faced with a difficult choice at such a time!

Yun Shi said that it was a civilian aircraft, but in fact it is still a military project!

Fighters, not the republic's, naval equipment, the main force are small boats of less than four hundred tons......

In the end, the Republic gave up Yun Shi, with Xiaolong, with 052, and the domestic economic construction was not halted because of this.

Of course, Director Liu will never give up the republic's own big plane unless it is absolutely necessary!

"Xiao Liu, you have to think about this matter clearly, the equipment of the navy is more expensive than that of the air force, and the technical requirements are higher......" After coming down, Long Yaohua, Li Yunlong, and Qi Hao left Liu Yijiu alone.

"Chief, there's nothing more to think about. Originally, I avoided Minister Bai's people just to avoid messing with naval equipment, which was too much money. But this time, a small country like Vietnam, which provoked us on land, was picked up and turned to the sea to continue. To be honest, this time I went to the South China Sea because I had 106 ships, otherwise you think I have the courage to drive the 531 ship to the South China Sea? I'm just going to trouble them. The monkeys don't have any big warships, but they can challenge us because of the geography......"

"Our government has already informed the United States and the Soviet Union about this incident, and the Vietnamese should not continue to do this in the near future. Moreover, this matter will not be publicized on a large scale, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction among everyone in the country. In the southwest, because of the continued provocations of the Vietnamese and the encroachment on the riding points on our border, hundreds of thousands of acres of rubber could not be harvested, and tens of thousands of acres of land could not be cultivated, and from May to July, we launched a small counterattack......"

"What does the chief mean that if we publicize it on a large scale, we will make the war bigger?" The corners of Liu Yijiu's mouth twitched.

He knew very well the situation of the Sino-Vietnamese war.

The monkeys, with the support of the Soviets, are so bold that they themselves do not know to what extent.

In order to develop the economy, the republic endured again and again.

Finally, in the 84th year, because the courage of the monkeys continued to invade China's territory, the unbearable republic once again launched a large-scale counterattack, thus starting the battle of the two mountains that lasted until the end of the Sino-Vietnamese War......

And these military bigwigs in front of them are actually worried about the expansion of the war?

"That's true. Once the war expands, it is very likely to affect the country's economic construction. This is our helpless ......," Long Yaohua sighed.

It's not that the military doesn't want to fight.

The military top of any country wants to be able to go to war.

A soldier's duty is to protect his family and defend the country, and a soldier's destiny is to die on the battlefield.

However, the impact of war on a country is indeed too great.

The republic is poor, the huge population can't even afford to eat, how can it not develop the economy?

"Sometimes, when we do things, we have to take into account the interests of the whole country, not in the moment. We will propose that the Central Military Commission strengthen the construction of national defense in the South China Sea. But in terms of military spending, you are clear......"

"Chief, what if we build a fleet ourselves?"

Liu Yijiu suddenly gritted his teeth and asked. (To be continued.) )
