Wang Sanpang was greeted by a rear admiral Williams of the Royal Navy of Country Y, who was of the same rank as Wang Sanpang, but when he came into contact, this Rear Admiral Williams seemed a little arrogant, and he may still be immersed in the glorious years when the Royal Navy of Country Y dominated the sea.

The former chief of staff of the Royal Navy of Y Y Alan West issued a statement admitting that the conflict with country F caused by the fishing of scallops shows an important problem, that is, it is obvious that country Y has insufficient ships and is no longer able to maintain its exclusive economic zone, and after Y leaves the EU, the situation will be even worse.

The main force of surface ships in active service in the Navy of Country Y is only 1 aircraft carrier, 2 amphibious ships, 6 Type 45 destroyers and 13 Type 23 frigates, in addition to 4 patrol ships. And even these more than 20 ships often face problems such as carrying out NATO tasks and not being able to supply spare parts.

Therefore, the insufficient number of surface ships in country Y is a "louse on the bald head" - an obvious problem. From the original "maritime hegemon" to today's inability to defend the exclusive economic zone, the decline of the navy of country Y is embarrassing.

It's just that the people of country Y, who have always been immersed in their past glory, have always been reluctant to admit this problem, unwilling to admit that now they are no longer the empire on which the sun never sets, and the strength of their navy has taken a back seat in the world, and even the strength on the surface is not as good as some countries that looked up to them in the past.

It's like now that this Major General Williams is very casual after seeing Wang Sanfat, although Huaxia has developed very rapidly in recent years, and he doesn't know how much stronger he is than this old power, but Williams's self-esteem is unwilling to admit this fact, so when facing Wang Sanfat, this Major General Williams will be so proud. In Wang Sanpang's view, this Major General Williams is just using pride to hide his weakness.

In fact, the current Royal Navy of Country Y is completely incapable of surviving in such a competitive international environment, and the current Royal Navy of Country Y still needs to rely on its former little brother when developing it, and Country M will help, you know, Country M used to be a colony of Country Y, but the reality is so cruel, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi.

Previously, the Elizabeth aircraft carrier of the Royal Navy of Country Y was tested on the north coast of Country M, but what is very embarrassing is that the two F35-Bs that will land on the deck of the aircraft carrier of Country Y in this test plan belong to the Patuson River Naval Air Station in Maryland of Country M, not the Navy of Country Y. The sea trials at the North M will last 11 weeks, during which the F-35B is expected to make more than 500 takeoffs and landings on the ship.

What is even more embarrassing is that the aircraft carrier of country Y will only "borrow" two F-35Bs this time, and the fighters will still be returned to the marines of country M after the sea trials. And country Y's own F-35B will not be able to deploy until 2021.

However, how can country Y, which used to be an empire on which the sun never sets, not care about its own face, this time one of the three pilots of country Y who are conducting flight training in M will perform the first landing test. In the early days of the development of the F-35 fighter, the first pilot to fly the F-35 test aircraft into the sky was also a native of country Y.

The previous fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft of country Y was the famous Sea Harrier, which was all retired in 2011, and for the next eight years, country Y was in a state of virtually no aircraft carrier deployment.

This time, the Elizabeth aircraft carrier of country Y went to North M, accompanied only by a frigate of more than 4,000 tons and a fleet tanker, and there were only some Merlin helicopters in the aircraft carrier hangar, which can be said to be an ultra-low-end configuration. And the North Atlantic Ocean through which she passed is a key area for the activity of the submarines of the Navy of Country E.

But at this time, the relationship between the two countries and E deteriorated, and the Type 23 frigate Monmers, which carried out anti-submarine escort missions for the aircraft carrier, was already an old antique in 1993, even if it was modified with towed array sonar in recent years, but it is not known whether it could not be carried out by the submarines of E country, but Wang Sanpang can be seen from the information received that the Elizabeth aircraft carrier of country Y encountered many dangerous situations when it went to North M. The submarines of country E are also adding trouble to the navy of country Y.

In fact, the most incredible thing is that in this voyage mission, another escort ship, the fleet tanker Rushtide, is even more thought-provoking. The 40,000-ton ship, which was commissioned in February this year, was not made in country Y. In 2012, the Navy of Country Y awarded a contract for the manufacture of four new tidal-class fleet tankers worth 450 million Y pounds to the Daewoo Shipyard of Country H.

Even if the design of this type of ship is still in charge of the Marine Technology Company of Country Y, and even if the shipyard of Country H is only responsible for the construction of the hull of the ship, and the electronic communication and weapons equipment still need to be returned to Country Y for installation, and even if the design of this type of ship is also adopted by the NW Navy. The fact that the old navy, which once roamed the ocean for 300 years, no longer builds its own ships has also caused great controversy.

In fact, country Y has boasted of Haikou and wants to cruise the South China Sea, but country Y, which is facing the dilemma of Brexit, does not say whether it has this ability, but after Brexit, it is not known whether it will affect their latest fixed-wing aircraft deployment plan, and the most important thing is that China's navy is not vegetarian.

……

Wang Sanpang and this Rear Admiral Williams met for the first time a little unhappy, but Wang Sanpang didn't care, this visit also received an invitation from country Y, and at the same time, Wang Sanpang They will also conduct a live-fire training at sea on the side of country Y, together with the Royal Navy of country Y, this is also the Royal Navy of country Y took the initiative to invite, Wang Sanpang is not worried that this rear admiral Williams can't figure it out.

Sure enough, when Major General Williams came to the door the next day, he no longer had the arrogant look he had the day before, and he was very modest when he talked to Wang Sanpang, and he couldn't imagine what this Major General looked like the day before.

Wang Sanpang didn't know what was going on, and Wang Sanpang didn't have the heart to know the situation, after asking about the arrangements of the Royal Navy of country Y, Wang Sanpang also agreed to the arrangements of the Royal Navy of country Y on behalf of the DL Naval Ship Academy that visited this time.

Two days later, a live-fire exercise will be held in nearby waters, with the participation of Zheng He's ship and the warships of the Royal Navy of Country Y.
