Chapter 231 National Defense Conference

Eastern Capital, the seat of the Ministry of Defense.

Zhu Wei, the emperor and supreme commander of the Ming Empire, sat in the commander position in the conference room, and behind him was a huge imperial imperial coat of arms, on both sides of the badge, the national flag and military flag of the Ming Empire, and the imperial flag, military flag, and national flag of the Ming Kingdom were hung in the form of crosses around the room.

In front of Zhu Wei, standing next to him were Qianyou and Hong Xueqi.

The Minister of Defense of the Empire, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Jason, the Squire of the Ministry of War, Cao Wei, and the senior officers of the army who are guarded by Purple Flying Rain are holding a long table meeting.

Zhu Wei spoke first: "I have a meeting for you today, in the past two years, everyone has paid great hard work and sweat for the national defense of the Ming Kingdom, and I am very moved. ”

Jason, the secretary of the military department, said: "This is what we should do"

Zhu Wei didn't take his words, and continued: "The ships of the Ming Kingdom are also in place, as the supreme commander of the three armed forces, I have now decided to establish the Ming State Staff Operations Headquarters, which will be directly managed by me." ”

The Ministry of Defense officials present were stunned for a moment, and then they all clapped their hands in support.

Zhu Wei clapped his hands and said, "Come in." ”

I saw 30 soldiers wearing military uniforms and heroic posture coming in from outside. These are the 30 best of the 400 genetic human officers that Zhu Wei has just built.

Zhu Wei said: "These people will form the main person in charge of the Ming State Staff Operations Headquarters and the army. You get to know each other. ”

As a result, the officials of the Ministry of Defense and the personnel of the General Staff shook hands and introduced each other.

The Ministry of National Defense was originally a civilian official, and the purpose of Zhu Wei's establishment of the Staff Operations Headquarters was to directly mobilize the army, and Zhu Wei had already done his best to be benevolent and righteous, and the civilian officials at the time of the founding of the Ming Dynasty had already been replaced, and only the military post had been left until now.

Jason is just a middle- and lower-ranking officer in the U.S. Marine Corps, Cao Wei is also a junior officer, and Zi Feiyu is a genetic person. But her real strength is fighting to kill, not commanding.

It is useless for these people to stay in the army, it is better to transfer them all to civilian officials. Zhu Wei ordered Zi Feiyu to be relieved of his military position and to serve as his personal bodyguard instead.

Other Defense Department officials, including Jason and Cao Wei, will also be replaced when the cabinet is reshuffled in two years' time.

Zhu Wei said: "Okay, now that the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff Headquarters are all together, let's talk about the next military system." ”

Next, after discussion, the army of the Ming Empire was officially named the "Ming National Defense Army", the emperor was the supreme commander, and the "General Staff Headquarters" was set up to command the national defense forces in wartime. The Defence Force consists of the Marine Wing, the Air Wing, the Ship Wing, the Logistics Wing and the Special Special Service Commando Unit.

The Ministry of National Defense, on the other hand, is composed of civilian officials and consists of a military court, a national defense intelligence bureau, and a military academy at the junior high school level, which is responsible for evaluating, promoting, training, and cultivating military personnel.

This year's defense budget of $8 billion has also been put in place, and the Department of Defense has also begun to discuss the specific implementation of military spending projects.

After eight hours of discussions, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the project of establishing three major bases in Dongsheng Shenzhou, namely the Ming Air Base, the Navy Base, and the National Defense Force Base, was studied.

In addition, the naming method of the ship was re-discussed, and it was decided that the Aegis destroyer should be named after the founding military commander of the Ming Dynasty, the frigate should be named after the ten continents and three islands of the Ming Dynasty, the other small ships should be named after mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, and the supply ship and auxiliary ship should be named after the character name.

That's why. The only general Aegis ship in the Ming Kingdom was named Xuda.

The two Perry-class frigates were named Yingzhou and Xuanzhou.

After the meeting, Zhu Wei called Obama, mainly for arms sales, and Zhu Wei said, "Mr. President." Have you been drinking Yingzhou jade liquid well recently? ”

Ohama smiled: "This wine is really good, I feel like I am more energetic now, and I am much younger." You called out of the blue, not to talk to me about the bar. ”

Zhu Wei said: "Mr. President guessed right. You must know that I invested 8 billion in military spending this year. This money is mainly used to repair the base, and I still have billions of dollars left, and I plan to buy a batch of arms. ”

Obama said: "You know my limit. What do you want to source? ”

Zhu Wei said: "Don't worry, I definitely can't care if you want an aircraft carrier, I just want to buy a few sets of the latest air defense radar system, a few Hamilton-class patrol ships, to protect the sea frontier in the southwest of my country, you know, the monkeys are dancing very happily, Japan always comes to cross the border to fish, I just want to have a little deterrent ability." ”

When Obama heard Zhu Wei say this, he was relieved. "If that's all I have, I'm confident that I'll convince Congress."

"In addition to that, I want an Aegis ship."

The black line on the head of Obama, what does this small country want to do, and it is not satisfied with an Aegis. "With all due respect, Your Majesty the Emperor, are you not enough under the protection of the United States?"

Zhu Wei said: "Mr. President, please rest assured, our country has more and more exchanges with other countries, and there are more and more frictions, and sometimes such ships are needed to maintain a sense of security, and when it is inconvenient for your country to come forward, we have the ability to solve it ourselves." I know this is difficult for you, but I promise that if you can help me with this, I am willing to hand over all three major bases to the American side for construction. ”

Zhu Wei threw out a beautiful bait, he knew that the United States must bite the hook, the United States is an expert in building military bases, and it is ideal for them to build them, Zhu Wei is not worried about danger, whoever builds them can see clearly the location of the American satellites. Handing over to the United States for construction can give the United States a big smoke bomb, and the real base ghosts of the Ming Kingdom know that they are deep underground.

"Even if His Majesty the Emperor is so worried, then the United States is willing to help His Majesty with this, after all, our two countries must be close friends."

Zhu Wei said: "If this can pass the deliberation of the Congress, I am also willing to buy five satellites and have your country help launch them." "Zhu Wei has stepped up again, and satellites are a top priority. Now he has been renting Huaxia's satellites, which is not a long-term solution, and Zhu Wei needs to have his own satellites.

Ohama really took the bait, "This is okay, I will solve this batch of orders as soon as possible." ”

"Then please, Mr. President."

So, Zhu Wei hung up the phone, and soon, the order was handed over to the American side, a total of one state-of-the-art Aegis destroyer, 10 Hamilton-class patrol ships, five radar stations, three military bases, 50 11-meter RHIB special operations rigid inflatable boats, and 100 16-foot SEAL combat rubber boats.

He then ordered Secretary of Defense Jason to visit Israel to purchase Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile system and other Israeli weapons.

Next is the construction of the defensive weapons of the Yingzhou Underground Fortress City.

The first is air defense.

The deployment of 100 sets of Linglong Tower missile defense system, which is based on the purchase of the United States Patriot 3 defense system upgrade research, radar system, combat control is completely controlled by the intelligent mastermind, as long as it is within the scope of the main brain Bingxuan, it will automatically protect the entire territory of the Ming Kingdom.

The deployment of 300 sets of the Meteor Rain Phalanx system was developed based on the purchase of the Phalanx on the US Aegis destroyer.

The deployment of 200 quadruple anti-ship missile launchers, which can fire torpedoes, is also based on research and development of anti-ship weapons procured from the US Aegis ships.

This can be described as a big deal, there are only a dozen sets of Patriot 3 in East Asia, and 100 sets have been deployed in Zhu Wei's small country, which can be said to be completely like an iron bucket, and all these weapons will be synthesized with the main brain within 5 years.

However, the Linglong Tower anti-missile system is a medium- and long-range interceptor missile, and it also needs to use Israel's high-performance close-range (5-70 km), all-weather, and mobile Iron Dome anti-missile system to cooperate, so that Mingguo Island can really become an iron barrel.

Defense Minister and Secretary of the Ministry of War Jason soon came to Israel, and the Israeli side was very happy about Ming's purchase of the Iron Dome anti-missile system, and the prime minister personally received him.

Jason told Israel very clearly that Ming Guo would purchase 10 sets of the "Iron Dome" system this time, and at the same time purchase about 2,000 "Tamir" missiles used in the system.

Each Iron Dome system includes radar and control equipment, four missile launchers and at least 50 missiles at a cost of about $40 million.

It can be said that this arms purchase exceeds $500 million and will be delivered within a year.

In addition to the Ministry of National Defense, the Ministry of Communications has also greatly increased its budget this year, including the purchase of 20 Huaxia Hainan-class 037 hunting submarines in contact with Huaxia to be used as maritime surveillance and law enforcement vessels of the Ming Coast Guard. The total displacement of the ship: 375 tons (standard), 395 tons (full load) Length: 58.8 meters, width: 7.2 meters draft: 2.2 meters, power system: power for 4 40II diesel engines, total power 10000 horsepower, 4-axis propulsion speed: maximum speed 30.5 knots Endurance: 2000 nautical miles / 10 knots crew number: 78 people

The radar is a "tank top" surface search radar, 1 "Tamir" small hull sonar

Main armament: 4 5-tube rocket depth bomb launchers, depth bomb launchers, two twin 37mm guns and two twin 14.5mm machine guns.

The ship was directly modified in Huaxia, removing the four 5-tube rocket deep bomb launchers and deep bomb launchers, retaining the front gun and the twin 14.5mm machine loose, and changing the rear gun to a remote-controlled double-barrel pressurized water cannon. Equipped with a remote control sound.

At the same time, 40 high-speed boats were purchased from the United States to equip the hunting submarine, including 20 34-foot "Sea Ark" patrol boats, 20 39-foot river patrol boats, five 65-foot littoral command boats, and 20 83-foot Mark VSOC special combat boats.

Zhu Wei's military base and weapons are in place, and Zhu Wei is a little relieved. (To be continued......)
