640 Protecting rights and interests in the South China Sea, starting from Woody Island
When Deng Jianjun took Liu Yijiu to visit, China's most advanced frigate, with the port number 531, had already set sail quietly and slowly headed towards the South China Sea.
A warship that didn't look much different from 531 on the side also left the military port on China's southernmost island.
"That thing is an Anshan-class destroyer?"
At first, Liu Yijiu didn't notice the naval ship that was docked not far away.
It stands to reason that in the South China Sea Fleet, there are basically no large warships, after all, all naval equipment is in the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet, which are used to guard against the Soviet Union and the United States imperialism.
In addition to the 051-class destroyers, the 053 ships under his feet are already considered large warships that are the main equipment of the Navy in this era.
"Yes, the old destroyers, which were improved in the seventies, were mainly used to escort 053, this time from the north to this side, it took a long time, and it was easy to encounter threats from the sea. We crossed over from the Taiwan Strait. ”
The Taiwan Navy in this era is much stronger than the mainland Navy.
In the later stage of the Liberation War, the bald head saw that there was no chance of recovery, so he fled the mainland with the elite of his party-state and went to Taiwan.
All the elites of the entire republic, taken away.
Navy, Air Force, and even finance, as well as industry.
Otherwise, the republic would not be so bad.
In the end, with the support of US imperialism, the Republic has never been able to recover Taiwan.
It has a large number of purchased warships, plus the United States' aircraft carrier fleet and fighter protection. Although the Taiwan Strait is an inland strait of the Republic, it is very dangerous.
"This thing is too old......" Liu Yijiu sighed.
The only way to protect the most advanced missile frigates with backward old warships from World War II may be China's navy.
Class 051 large missile destroyer. There were too few of them in the country, and all of them were concentrated in the North Sea Fleet to defend the capital.
The largest warship of the Republic is only 3400 tons of the 051 class......
"It's modernized. Although the tonnage is a little less, the weapons system on it is even more powerful than the warships under our feet at the moment......"
Regarding Liu Yijiu's statement, Deng Jianjun was not satisfied.
Although said. These destroyers were old warships of the Second World War era purchased by the Republic from the Soviet Union in the 50s, but they were the most powerful main warships of the new China at that time, and were praised by the officers and men of the Navy as the four King Kongs of the Navy of the Republic.
Especially the Anshan that followed behind. It was the flagship of the Soviet Pacific Fleet during World War II!
At the beginning of 69, two twin "Upstream"-1 anti-ship missiles with a range of 90 km were modified, even without reloading capabilities. It's also the most powerful weapon on this warship!
Not to mention. There is also a twin-mounted 100-mm anti-aircraft gun with a range of 16 km and an altitude of 9.5 km! Two five-pack anti-submarine rocket launchers, that's also the teeth of monsters! Even the range is only 1200 meters......
There are four depth charge launchers and depth shell launchers behind the butt!
This thing is still the main ship of the Republic's Navy!
"Hehe......" Liu Yijiu smiled awkwardly.
He couldn't say anything, he could only feel deep sorrow in his heart!
The main warship of the US imperialists, that's tens of thousands of tons!
Even the Kirov of the Soviets was also tens of thousands of tons.
How many missiles can be loaded into a Chinese missile ship? Kirov class of the USSR. It was a missile depot at sea, loaded with more than 500 missiles of various types. The aircraft carrier fleet of the US imperialism does not dare to provoke!
The number of these missiles mounted on these missiles of the Republic can exceed double digits.
This is the helplessness of the entire Navy and the shame of the whole country!
If the military industry is not strong, the national defense will not be peaceful!
At present, the United States and the Soviet Union are competing for hegemony, even if the size of the Soviet Navy is not very good, the number of large warships is not large, and the aircraft carrier is still being designed and built, but the US imperialists do not dare to challenge the Soviet Navy!
How many strategic nuclear submarines the USSR had, it is not clear to the US imperialists.
Liu Yijiu felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
"Brother Jiu, it's far away from the harbor now, there should be more sharks in this area......" Li Rui has never been on a boat at all, even if he has received a lot of training in this area, but he didn't expect that one day the object of her protection would run to the sea......
Rao is stomach was uncomfortable, and when he saw Liu Yijiu's expression, he also knew what was going on, so he immediately diverted his attention, so that he would not think deeply about the development of the country's military equipment.
Anything can only be done slowly.
"Yes, by the way, Lao Wu, do you have any fresh pork for you?" Liu Yijiu simply didn't think about these things.
Wu Tianhai nodded hurriedly, Liu Yijiu wanted to come here to fish for sharks, just to find a reason to get on the ship.
The construction of Woody Island has been the focus of the Admiralty.
Why did Liu Yijiu build a large amount of construction on Yongxing Island, which the Republic has never had the energy to pay attention to, not only desperately blowing sand to reclaim the sea and land, but also building a military port and an airport on it, saying that it was a test base built for themselves, so he could only fool the crooked nuts.
The bigwigs of the Admiralty clearly knew that this was a prelude to the Ninth Academy's preparation to get involved in naval equipment.
Liu Yijiu attaches more importance to maritime rights and interests than many bigwigs imagined.
Liu Yijiu didn't pay so much attention at this time, and hung a piece of bloody pork weighing several catties on the fishing rod and fishing line that he got back from Hong Kong, which was said to be produced by the British, and he did not hold the fishing rod in his hand, but wiped it on the mouth of the 23-mm rapid-fire gun on the side of the bow......
This made the cadets of the Naval Ship Academy, who were younger than him, very unhappy.
"Sharks are faster than our boats, aren't they? Otherwise, we won't be able to catch sharks......" Li Rui was very dissatisfied when he saw Liu Yijiu's so-called fishing.
She would even love to stop the warship.
But the warship has been heading at top speed towards the deep sea to the south......
Liu Yijiu did this, naturally he couldn't catch fish.
And Ouyang Bin was frightened by Liu Yijiu from the beginning. He didn't expect Liu Yijiu's special status to be beyond his imagination.
It doesn't matter if you're fishing or not.
Life on a warship is no better than on land, and from the very beginning, the warship has been speeding south at top speed, with little pause. So, looking at the scenery from the bow deck, quickly get bored.
Fortunately, the weather was good in the past few days, and there was no typhoon or anything, Li Rui became seasick and soon entered the narrow cabin in the ship to rest.
This is the captain's room of Feng Suhang, the temporary captain of the warship!
"Director Liu, this warship ......"
"As long as there are customers, sell!" Liu Yijiu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the intersection of sea and sky in the distance, but he kept thinking in his heart.
In the command room of this ship, all kinds of equipment are backward, and it is really far from the advanced level of the ships of the US imperialists.
He didn't know how much effort it would take to improve.
It was already dark outside, and Wu Tianhai and the others had been observing all kinds of data inside the ship.
If it weren't for Liu Yijiu's request, they would have moved forward at an economic cruising speed of 15 knots. But that a lot of data can't be tested. Maintaining the highest speed at all times will cause a very large load on the power system and even the strength of the entire ship.
As time passed, Liu Yijiu had been standing steadily at the bow of the boat, as if he could not feel the passage of time.
Wu Tianhai persuaded him, and Li Rui pulled him several times, but he never entered the interior of the most advanced missile frigate of the Republic again.
In the vast ocean, this warship, which is more than 100 meters long, is really too small.
As the sun turned westward and Woody Island was getting closer and closer, Liu Yijiu's face still did not have the slightest expression, just staring into the distance.
"Director Liu, there is still half an hour, and we will arrive at Woody Island......" Worried about what happened to Liu Yijiu, Deng Jianjun reported to Liu Yijiu.
"Is the monkey's warship still provoking here?"
"No, after the construction started here, although they were constantly monitoring, harassing, and seizing our island, the things became more and more rampant, injuring a lot of fishermen...... "Liu Yijiu wants to cause trouble!"
Deng Jianjun's mood suddenly sank to the bottom.
The Paracel Islands have always been very unsafe.
The main fleet of the Vietnamese, which completely surpassed the Chinese South China Sea Fleet.
On many of the islands, fishermen are stationed......
"They wounded our fishermen on our turf? It's a bit arrogant! At this time, the rod that was originally hanging on the muzzle of the machine gun next to it bent down slightly......
"Yes, there are sharks who are not afraid of death who die for this bit of meat...... Liu Yijiu sneered.
Seeing his expression, Deng Jianjun and the others next to him even began to pray that the Vietnamese had better not come to cause trouble at this time, otherwise, the consequences would ......
Especially Ouyang Bin, who had been accompanying Liu Yijiu to blow the wind on it, suddenly trembled when he saw the smile on Liu Yijiu's face.
It seems that there are few people with the surname Liu he meets.
"It's Woody Island in front......" When Liu Yijiu dragged out a shark of more than 200 catties from the sea alone, a faint island appeared in everyone's sight.
Woody Island!
The seat of government of China's southernmost administrative city in a few decades!
Now, there is no garrison on it, just a few fishermen guarding the Republic!
Now, it has become a huge construction site like the special economic zone in China, where a large number of sand dredging boats are constantly digging sand from the surrounding area, transporting it to the sand bank on the edge of the island, dumping it, and then compacting the sand by bulldozers.
Of course, in the middle, there is also a lot of concrete built directly from the middle of the reef below to strengthen the foundation.
Quite a few reinforced concrete blocks are tilted into the middle of the sand......
"This will become a strong base for the protection of our rights and interests in the South China Sea!" Liu Yijiu said solemnly after looking at the huge construction site in the distance. (To be continued.) )
