Chapter 735 Aircraft Carrier (1)

However, for an aircraft carrier, these things are incidental combat effectiveness, and its really most important combat effectiveness still relies on carrier-based fighters, whether it is a vertical launch unit or an electromagnetic railgun, or a short-range laser interception system, these are just for defense, and there are very few opportunities to use them.

On the third day of the arrival of the nuclear fuel, the Chinese military chartered a total of more than a dozen civil aviation flights and sent a total of 3,500 people to Madagascar, and then the Chinese military announced that more than 40 warships of the South China Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet would go to Madagascar for their first voyage.

Such a voyage, especially the large-scale voyage of the fleet, has never been done for the Chinese Navy, because China has no military bases overseas, and the maximum range of ships such as destroyers is about 4000-5000 nautical miles.

However, if it is a mission, it is not the same thing to refuel in a civilian port for a direct ultra-long-distance voyage like this, but in any case, you can't let the aircraft carrier drive back on its own, right? It's a big deal to carry a few more large supply ships. Although in the past two years, China's naval fleet has often left the first and second island chains to conduct exercises in the ocean, but this is really the first time that such a voyage has been made, especially for a large fleet.

Subsequently, the Chinese President and Madagascar formally agreed on a one-week visit to Madagascar. This time is already very long, you must know that generally speaking, the heads of state of superpowers such as China and the United States can basically visit four or five countries a week, and their schedules are very full, and it is almost rare for such a country to stay for a week.

Could it be that something is happening in Madagascar? Otherwise, what is the Chinese fleet and the Chinese president going to Madagascar for? However, Yang Yiwei ignored the speculation from the outside world, and Yang Yiwei went to his military base to meet the first batch of naval officers of the Chinese Navy who had trained on the Liaoning. This group of people arrived in a day's time, but the follow-up people have not yet arrived, and the first batch is a total of 1,000 officers and soldiers, three Boeing 747s.

When the leading soldier came down. Yang Yiwei was speechless for a while, he would not have come with all the senior generals of the navy, Lin Shengli, the commander of the navy, was bound to come, followed by Lin Hu, plus more than a dozen other generals, large and small. There are not many colonel-level officers, but the rest are basically lieutenants.

"General Lin. This is....... Yang Yiwei looked at these generals beside Lin Shengli. Ha Lu Ha said with a smile. "Of course, we are here to meet China's first domestic aircraft carrier, and in addition, let's introduce you, Thunder! Rear Admiral, the first post-80s general of the Chinese Navy. Lin Shengli directly pulled a young major general beside him to introduce Yang Yiwei.

Post-80s? Yang Yiwei was a little surprised, he became a general after the 80s? This promotion speed is really unspeakable. According to Lei Ming, he was born in 80, and he is only 36 years old this year, a 36-year-old major general, this person is definitely outstanding. It's not something that can be raised with a background or something.

"Hello General Lei." Yang Yiwei said hello to Lei Ming, Lei Ming directly saluted Yang Yiwei, and then stretched out his hand to shake Yang Yiwei and said with a smile: "My military salute is on behalf of all the Chinese Navy to Mr. Yang." Although we have been looking forward to China's first self-built aircraft carrier, we did not expect Mr. Yang to make this wish come true so quickly. ”

"You're welcome, I used to want to be a soldier, but I never had that opportunity, I just worked hard to achieve everything I thought back then, General Lei is young and promising, it is estimated that he became a general at this age, and General Lei is also unique." Yang Yiwei said with a smile.

"Hehe, I was born in 1980, and I am the same generation as Mr. Yang." Lei Ming smiled, noncommittal. Lin Shengli next to him smiled and said to Yang Yiwei: "You are all smart people, communicate more in the future, Xiao Lei is a rare genius in naval operations, if nothing else, there is no problem with accepting your aircraft carrier, then Xiao Lei may be the commander of China's first aircraft carrier battle group." ”

Yang Yiwei immediately understood why Lin Shengli wanted to introduce Lei Ming to himself, the aircraft carrier battle group, the current Liaoning is more used to train aircraft carrier officers, although there are also battle groups, but they are not fully matched, a complete aircraft carrier battle group is generally composed of two or three aircraft carriers, and the captain of the Liaoning is only a lieutenant colonel, but he is only the captain of the Liaoning, and the commander of the entire fleet must be at least a general.

Undoubtedly, Lei Ming will be the commander of China's first officially established aircraft carrier battle group, in other words, the first aircraft carrier to be used by himself will be Lei Ming. Yang Yiwei smiled, stretched out his hand again and shook hands with Lei Ming, "Major General Lei, I believe that you will definitely be surprised by your car." ”

"I hope so, speaking of which, you stinky boy, your progress is fast enough, did you not show us the construction process of the aircraft carrier because of this?" Lin Shengli directly stretched out his fist and hammered it on Yang Yiwei's shoulder.

"Well, that's kind of a reason." Yang Yiwei touched his nose with some embarrassment and said.

"By the way, now take us to see China's first aircraft carrier." Lin Shengli looked at Yang Yiwei quickly and asked.

"Nope." Yang Yiwei shook his head directly and said, "The installation of nuclear fuel has not been completed yet, it will take another day, and you can only visit this time tomorrow when the nuclear radiation level of the fuel tank drops, and now it is forbidden to visit during the construction period, you can only wait for tomorrow." ”

"Okay...... Then you give me a thorough explanation, which is better or worse than the performance of this guy you built compared with the two Ford-class aircraft carriers that have been launched in the United States? Lin Shengli quickly leaned over and asked.

The eyes of the others also immediately turned to him, obviously very interested in this, "Can all the performance meet the standards on the drawings?" "The design drawings of the aircraft carrier were originally tested by China before they began to be built, so there is naturally detailed data on it, and Lin Shengli has naturally seen it, so he asked this question.

"That...... Actually, I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, I'll let you have a mental preparation, that drawing...... You can throw it away. Yang Yiwei scratched his head and said, originally he was going to follow that drawing, but then he thought about it, if he wanted to play, he would play a big one, and it was only after that that he had the current design, so that drawing could not be regarded as the current standard at all.

"What do you mean?" Lin Shengli and the others were stunned for a moment, and then Lin Shengli and the others looked at each other and said. "Uh, I said, the finished product is too different from the drawings, even the shape is different, and the combat effectiveness is naturally different, so it can't be calculated according to that drawing at all, it's like this, when the drawings were given to you, they were originally going to be designed according to that, but then after one of our technical breakthroughs, we directly adopted the drawings that were designed before, but there was no way to build them, so now the new aircraft carrier ...... You've never seen it before. Yang Yiwei shrunk his neck and said.

"You...... I mean, stinky boy, you're not kidding, are you? This is no joke, if you don't produce according to the drawings, or if the performance is not up to standard, we will not ask for it. Lin Shengli's face was a little ugly, is this a joke?

"Do you think I'm joking with you, if you don't want to, I can build you another one according to the previous drawings, and I won't give it to you, do you think I'm willing, how much did the contract I signed for you cost? $8.5 billion a ship, but do you know how much this aircraft carrier costs? Yang Yiwei rolled his eyes.

"How much?" Lin Shengli asked quickly, everyone listened attentively, the cost of the aircraft carrier was already very terrifying, the price of 8.5 billion US dollars, if it were not for the Starfall Group's advance production, it was still unknown whether the country agreed or not. "$12 billion." Yang Yiwei spat out a number that made everyone vomit blood.

"We're not going to pay extra price." Lin Shengli added directly without thinking about it, Yang Yiwei almost fell to the ground one by one, damn, when I just heard that I didn't follow the drawings, it is possible that the performance is not up to standard, you are not this face, this face is called a fast.

Rolling his eyes, Yang Yiwei said helplessly: "Don't worry, although the money is spent, I won't charge you more, but if you want a second one, this can't be cheap, the extra money from the first one was donated to the Navy at that time, you can rest assured, the combat effectiveness of this aircraft carrier is comparable to the two Ford-class aircraft carriers." ”

"Two? You're not bragging, are you? Lin Shengli asked with a shocked face, and the other officers didn't know what the expressions on their faces were, but they obviously didn't believe Yang Yiwei's words. (To be continued......)
