After all, although Fan's investment group is huge, it has to feed millions of employees, and the daily consumption is not a small amount, and it is impossible to help the navy build a full set of equipment.

Besides, the annual tax paid by Fan's Investment Group is a figure of today, and you can't ask people to add countless burdens in addition to reasonable tax payments, right? What's more, at present, Fan's Investment Group has invested a lot in public welfare, and Fan Heng does not feel that there is much more spare power to be excavated.

The most important point is that the Pham Thi Touzi Group is a unique existence, a completely private multinational company, and there is no obligation to provide weapons and equipment for the armed forces of any one country, and this is the key issue.

"There are some situations that you may not be very clear." Since this matter was mentioned, Fan Wuxian naturally couldn't help but explain a little, so he thought about it for a while, and said to Chen Guangyi, "At present, Fan has some cooperation projects with the military, but they are not open to the public, so you don't know and it should be, such as aircraft carriers, such as submarines, and then for example, the ship's fire control system and defense system, etc., these have been in the laboratory for a long time, and the reason why there is no equipment is because some equipment is still flawed. The other is that the top level is unwilling to rashly set off a new arms race in the Asia-Pacific region because of high-level considerations. ”

After Chen Guangyi heard this, he was really a little surprised, he was not a core member before, so he naturally didn't know that Fan's laboratory was already working on these projects, and he didn't know more, for example, Fan Wuzhi got back a batch of technical information on aircraft carrier projects from Russia, etc.

The domestic navy has always been relatively weak. Within the maritime territory under China's jurisdiction and sovereignty over resources, the southeast of the country is bordered by the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the South China Sea, with a coastline of more than 18,000 kilometers, and more than 6,500 islands dotted along the coast, and is directly connected to the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean through the first island Lian and the Strait of Malacca.

All this is not only beneficial to navigation and trade, but also contains extremely rich biological and mineral resources. Therefore. Making full use of and exploiting marine resources and guaranteeing maritime trade are the fundamental interests of the state and the nation.

However, in fact, the Chinese Navy, which was established before the Republic, has faced a harsh living environment since its establishment in the White Horse Temple in Jiangsu, and in addition to the admirable courage brought by the self-made Navy, it is the chaotic and dilapidated small ships of Europe, America, and Japan left behind by the Kuomintang Navy.

It was not easy to accept a British light cruiser "Chongqing", but it had to sink itself due to the frantic bombing of the Kuomintang Air Force. One of the heavy lessons of the Battle of Kinmen was the near-blank combat effectiveness of the sea and air.

For this reason, the top level of the country of Qin Hoa made up their minds and shouted the slogan of building a powerful navy and air force, and began to reach an agreement with Britain to purchase a number of ships that were not backward at that time, including light cruisers and destroyers, through the China Merchants Bureau set up in Hong Kong, and prepared to attack Kinmen and even Taiwan itself again after a short period of lying on the back. In this way, the great cause of the reunification of the motherland will be accomplished.

But the early outbreak of the Korean War cut off this plan.

With the US Navy's Seventh Fleet patrolling the Taiwan Strait, the ship purchase plan that had been basically negotiated with the British side has also been in vain. In order to counter the US military's wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the volunteers' logistical supply lines on the Korean battlefield and to defend the security of the important energy and industrial bases in the northeast region, the state spent huge sums of money to import from the Soviet Union more fighters, attack planes, light bombers, and other air force equipment than previously planned.

As a result, the already very limited funds must be spent on the equipment construction of the Air Force. However, the equipment funds of the 6th Army are in an important position.

Other than that. In terms of the degree of threat, since the Soviet Navy was still present at the Lushun base at that time, and the United States did not want to launch a naval attack on the northeast region because of this, the equipment construction of the Republic Navy had to remain on paper.

However, the navy did not do nothing because of this, but actively won over the Kuomintang navy to revolt and surrender to the Navy; in addition to equipment to supplement the urgent needs, it also enabled these professionals who had received relatively formal education to use their professional expertise to play a role as seeds for future regularization training, to establish a naval school, to carry out the construction of logistical support forces, and to silently wait for the arrival of the stage of large-scale exhibition.

After the end of the Korean War, the young republic began to formulate a standardized national defense strategic plan as a whole, and the regularization of the navy also started at the same time, and the main enemy was initially the Kuomintang and its supporters, the US Navy and Air Force, and by the early 60s, due to the opposition between China and the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Navy and Air Force also became the main enemy.

In the early 70s, out of consideration for their own interests, and in order to contain the threat posed by the former Soviet Union, which was close to its peak military strength at that time, it adopted the war version of uniting China with the former Soviet Union to defend against the former Soviet Union, giving China limited and conditional support in the military field, and the two sides also carried out relatively active cooperation. At the same time, the threat to China's maritime territory was greatly reduced, and the strategic policy formulated by the Chinese Navy during this period was accordingly adjusted to focus on the former Soviet Union.

By the 80s, with the introduction of a number of new equipment and the deepening of naval exchanges with the Western maritime powers, the naval strategy had generally entered the offshore stage.

It should be noted that during this period, the Ran Yu government has shifted its main energy to economic construction, and the national economy has been recovered and strengthened, and the corresponding demand for energy has also expanded.

At the end of the aftermath of the energy crisis, countries are paying more attention to the abundant life and minerals in the oceans than ever before. As a result, territorial disputes with maritime neighbors, which had previously been concealed, were magnified into real problems, and as a result, the hypothetical enemy of the Navy included not only the former Soviet Union, but also these countries in the region.

After entering the 90s, in order to oppose separatism and defend sovereignty, the defense of national sea lanes and economic order was subsequently added. In its attitude toward new domestically produced weapons The Navy has pragmatically seized some opportunities that have been missed for a short period of time to obtain a small amount of funds and develop some new equipment that seems to be of a low technical standard but is usable to fill the gap.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the establishment of the Naval Equipment Demonstration Center, which is a little-regarded but very important measure. The construction of naval equipment is an extremely complex system project, and from the perspective of the exhibition of weapons and equipment systems, demonstration and research should be the brunt. In order to apply modern science and technology to the field of naval construction as soon as possible, it is necessary for a professional organization to conduct research.

As a matter of fact, the navy has gone through many detours and suffered great losses, and it is precisely because the top level is aware of these that they have spared no effort to vigorously support the center of the exhibition and demonstration and make it a think tank for the decision-making level. It is also because of this that the navy has taken the least detours in the construction and development of its armament, which is the least among the three armed services.

At the same time as the changes and exhibitions in weapons and equipment, due to the dual influence of foreign exchanges and naval equipment demonstration centers, the construction of the battlefield system of the Chinese Navy at that time also made a marked improvement, and with the missile destroyers, nuclear submarines, and other new ships entering service one after another, the construction of large ship bases became a prominent task. Some of these ship bases are large-scale cavern projects, while others need to build multiple deep-water berths, plus a large number of supporting projects, the scale of the project is quite large, and the naval engineering support has been increased to one. A new level.

At the same time, the construction of a number of command posts, long-wave stations, reconnaissance stations, radar stations, observation stations, underwater acoustic stations, and navigation stations has also been started in 6 June, among which the construction of long-wave stations occupies a prominent position, and its completion and use have played a key role in the formation of the combat effectiveness of nuclear submarines.

At the dawn of the new century, the situation facing the Chinese Navy has become even more complicated and acute.

Within the sovereignty of the South China Sea, especially the Nansha Islands, countries surrounding the South China Sea have constantly challenged China's maritime sovereignty and plundered the rich oil and fishery resources in the area. In the East China Sea, Japan and South Korea have also invaded and occupied maritime territory in the Diaoyu Islands, Chunxiao oil fields and other sea areas, and have stepped up the building of naval forces to achieve the goal of armed confrontation.

At the same time, it is also during this period that China's economic strength has experienced nearly 30 years of high growth, and the ice of the Western world has gradually melted with the tide of global economic integration, and the world's factories have slowly formed in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta. Due to the rise of manufacturing, the most convenient and cheapest mode of transportation is sea transportation, which requires the import of large quantities of energy and raw materials or large-scale commodity exports.

In recent years, China's national production and foreign trade have relied heavily on maritime transportation, and it is necessary to have a powerful maritime armed force capable of carrying out tasks in the open ocean to ensure its smooth operation.

On the other hand, Chinese capital is increasingly integrated into the world financial system, and investment in various foreign commercial projects has also been a hot spot in recent times.

Therefore, building a strong navy is already a top priority, far exceeding the expectations of the 6th Army and the Air Force.

It is precisely in view of this that Chen Guangyi hopes to build a powerful navy through his superiority and contact Fan Wuxi, so that the Chinese navy can truly hang a number plate in the world that is in line with the image of China's great power.

At worst, the Chinese Navy must also surpass Britain and France, which are already second-rate countries in terms of quality, right? There are no pop-ups
