Directorate of Naval Operations.

In the director's office, Lu Zhongyuan was chatting with a middle-aged man in a blue military uniform.

The middle-aged man is Ning Guoping, deputy director of the Naval Operations Department.

The navy and air force are at the same level as the major military regions, and the second-level departments below are usually at the division level.

However, because of the particularity of the troops, the deputy positions of the second-level departments below these two are generally high-matched.

It's like Ning Guoping, who is a high-level teacher.

Today, he came to Lu Zhongyuan's side, in addition to communicating with him about the next escort mission, he also had to chat with Wu Zhe.

According to him, Wu Zhe was his most optimistic young cadre at the beginning.

When the other party went to Lao A from the Marine Corps, it was because he was on a business trip, so he was caught off guard by the B Military Region.

Now that this kid has finally returned to the old army, and he has accepted an important task as soon as he comes, of course Ning Guoping wants to see it.

Regarding Vice Minister Ning's statement, Lu Zhongyuan was also noncommittal.

He always felt that the other party should have other purposes.

After chatting for a while, Lu Zhongyuan saw that he hadn't gotten up to leave, and he probably knew it in his heart.

Glancing at the other party, Lu Zhongyuan asked with a smile: "Minister Guoping, you have to come here today, I don't think it's just to see your old subordinates, right?" ”

Ning Guoping was slightly stunned, and then returned to normal.

He snorted slightly: "Director Lu, how can you see it?" ”

Hearing his question, Lu Zhongyuan was a little amused.

Actually, it's not hard to guess.

The other party listened to his call to Su Qiyue and knew that the other party was going to come over in person to pick up people and return to the base.

There is no doubt that this Colonel Ning's drunkard does not mean to drink, it must be on Su Qiyue.

In this regard, Lu Zhongyuan was not surprised.

After all, Su Qiyue was the commander-in-chief of this escort operation, and Ning Guoping met with the navy on behalf of the navy to learn about the situation of the other party, which was also his proper intention.

However, last time, Li Dong, the captain of the Coconut City, should have brought back some of Su Qiyue's situation, right?

Why do you look at Ning Guoping's appearance, as if you are still looking forward to it.

Just when Lu Zhongyuan was puzzled, the voices of his workers sounded outside.

"Report director, Director Su has arrived."

Hearing this, Lu Zhongyuan hurriedly said, "Please!" ”

Ning Guoping also straightened his face, obviously attaching great importance to this meeting with Su Qiyue.

Lu Zhongyuan was amused in his heart, and he didn't expose him.

After a while, Su Qiyue and Lei Zhan came to Lu Zhongyuan's office.

Lu Zhongyuan is no stranger to Lei Zhan.

After a few pleasantries, the two of them were invited to sit down and talk.

Lei Zhan saw that the opportunity was tight, and when he saw that an unfamiliar naval leader was there, he offered to go down and talk to a comrade-in-arms for a few words.

Of course, Lu Zhongyuan would not refuse his kindness, and watched Lei Zhan leave with a smile.

"Director July, let me introduce you. This is Deputy Director Ning Guoping of the Naval Operations Department. ”

Turning his head to look at Ning Guoping: "Minister Guoping, Comrade July doesn't need me to introduce you if you want to come, right?" ”

Ning Guoping responded with a smile and said, "No, no, Director Su and I, it's been a long-term friendship!" ”

In fact, Su Qiyue probably guessed the identity of this Vice Minister Ning before.

After all, the person who can sit side by side with Director Lu must be of a high level.

Nine times out of ten, they are important cadres on the navy's side.

Now that I have listened to Lu Zhongyuan's introduction, it is really as I guessed.

Speaking of which, the Naval Operations Department and the Naval Operations Bureau of the Operations Department of the Headquarters are at the same level, both at the division level.

This Minister Ning, although he is a deputy position, has hung up two cents and four, and he must be a high match.

However, there are words in the other party's words, and it seems that he has known about himself before, which Su Qiyue did not expect.

Looking at Su Qiyue's silent appearance, Ning Guoping couldn't help but secretly admire.

He didn't have any exaggeration just now, he did know about Su Qiyue for a long time.

At that time, after Su Qiyue completed the mission of Suomali, he and General Du and Minister Qin "made a lot of nonsense" and commented on the future naval battle.

As everyone knows, this comment was transferred to the navy by the two bigwigs.

For this reason, the top brass of the Navy also held several meetings to discuss the possibility of the future occurrence of these theses of the Soviet Union.

As Ning Guoping, deputy director of the Naval Operations Department, of course, he is indispensable for such discussions.

In fact, he and some of his colleagues even if they did not agree with Su Qiyue's arguments entirely, they had learned a lot from some of his ideas and were inspired by a lot.

Therefore, knowing that he had the opportunity to meet this young man today, Ning Guoping attached so much importance to it.

At this time, seeing the young Director Su face to face, Ning Guoping couldn't help but feel extremely emotional.

Although I had learned about Su Qiyue's information in detail before, I also knew that the other party was very young.

But he didn't expect to be really young like this.

The key is that this Director Su does not have the impetuousness of young people at all.

It seems that he is more calm than himself, a person in his 40s.

Seeing that Ning Guoping was just smiling silently, Lu Zhongyuan couldn't help but ask.

"Minister Guoping, you said you knew Director July before? What's going on? ”

After Lu Zhongyuan asked this, Ning Guoping took the opportunity to explain.

"Hehe, Director Lu probably doesn't know yet, right? After seeing the C3I system in the DA division once before, the bigwigs on our navy side were shocked. ”

"After I went back, I quickly organized our own technical department to learn and look."

Ning Guoping said eloquently, "In the end, it took three months, and our navy finally came up with a similar system, which can be perfectly equipped with Director Su's C3I system." ”

Glancing sideways at Su Qiyue, he grinned: "From this point of view, our navy owes Director Su a 'patent fee'!" ”

As soon as Ning Guoping said this, Lu Zhongyuan finally came to his senses.

No wonder this Ning Guoping wants to see Su Qiyue today, it turns out that there is such an allusion in it.

However, this guy is also honest.

It seems that the Navy still has a lot of expectations for July, the deputy director of the Digital Operations Bureau.

Actually, this is not difficult to understand.

After all, Su Qiqi was able to come up with a general system for several major military regions a few years ago.

After he took up the post of the Digital Operations Bureau, the Air Force and Navy may enjoy dividends, and everyone is naturally happy to see it.

Thinking that his young colleague was so concerned by many parties, Lu Zhongyuan couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart.

At this moment, he finally understood one thing - why Minister Qin agreed to Su Qiyue's transfer from Military Region B to Military Region C at the same time, he had to add such a request.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Su Qiyue was a person from the Operations Department of the headquarters, I am afraid that the Air Force and Navy would probably take action to rob people.

Now it seems that the chief's original idea of letting Su Qiyue "concurrently serve" is really high-level.

Regarding Ning Guoping's enthusiasm, Su Qiyue was still very calm.

The "C3I system" is not intended for the army, it is applicable to all units of the army.

It's a good thing that the navy can see the advantages of this system and take the initiative to follow up.

As for whether patents are patented, it's just a joke.

After all, everyone's goal is the same: to make the country rich and the army strong!

"That's right, Director Su."

After chatting for a few words, Ning Guoping suddenly thought of something.

He raised his head, looked at Su Qiyue and said, "Do you have any personal opinion on our army's escort operation this time?" ”

While asking this, Ning Guoping did not forget to explain: "None of us doubt that Director Su, the commander-in-chief, will definitely be able to lead everyone to successfully complete the task." ”

"After all, the pirates in the Gulf of Aden are still a little far behind the regular fleet of our navy."

"What I want to ask Director Su is, what kind of situation is our navy's current combat strength in all aspects, especially the ability of digital warfare, compared with the global military powers?"

After Ning Guoping asked this, Lu Zhongyuan couldn't help but be interested.

As the director of the Naval Operations Bureau of the War Department, he certainly knows a lot about the combat capabilities of the Navy.

In recent years, the navy has made great efforts to make the country prosperous and made quite a breakthrough.

Both cruisers and destroyers have made great progress in terms of manufacturing level and firepower output.

However, compared with the naval strength of the world's military powers, I am afraid that there is still a gap.

As for digital warfare, it may be even worse.

Su Qiyue, as the deputy director of the Digital Operations Bureau, should have a deeper understanding of this.

It was a rare opportunity to hear him share his views.

Noticing that Ning Guoping and Lu Zhongyuan both cast hopeful eyes on him, Su Qiyue couldn't shirk too much.

He thought seriously for a moment and said slowly.

"Minister Ning, when it comes to digital operations, for the army, the first thing is the construction of digital combat units, and then the digitization of the whole army. But for the Navy, this is not the case. ”

"Because of its particularity, the digital construction of the Navy is top-down, not bottom-up like the Army, which is ......"

Su Qiyue's first argument made Ning Guoping and Lu Zhongyuan's interest rise sharply.

Ignoring the change in the expressions of the two, Su Qiyue then said: "Naval warfare in the 21st century must start with electronic warfare. We can see some clues to this from the local conflicts in the world in the past two years. ”

Hearing this, Ning Guoping and Lu Zhongyuan both nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the local conflicts in the Gulf region in the past two years have given everyone a completely new understanding of naval warfare in the new century.

Electronic warfare has become an indispensable part of naval warfare.

"In order to meet the needs of naval warfare in the 21 st century, in addition to the rapid development of some basic technologies, the most important point of shipborne electronic warfare technology is the integration of EW equipment and the technical ...... of EW lift-off."
