Chapter 476 - Twin Aircraft Carriers Launched and Naming

PS: A new plot will start soon!

——————

At the same time, the news that China's two brand-new aircraft carriers will be launched in Somalia has spread all over the world at an extremely crazy speed.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China immediately received a congratulatory letter from the whole world.

And this sudden news made the countries of the whole world feel inconceivable, and no one thought that China would obtain two aircraft carriers of more than 80,000 tons by this means. At a time when China's self-built aircraft carrier was still under speculation, China once again showed its wisdom and caught the whole world off guard.

Through this incident, it is even more incredible that Somalia actually has the strength to build four 80,000-ton heavy aircraft carriers at the same time, and this kind of shipbuilding capacity is probably only comparable to the United States in the whole world.

Because before this, the United States was the only country in the world that had completed the construction of an aircraft carrier of this scale. At a time when the international public opinion brought about by the incident in Somalia that left the coalition forces helpless has not yet subsided, the information revealed from this incident has made the whole world frenzy again.

In the eyes of normal people, it was already unbelievable that Somalia had taken out two aircraft carriers at one time, and now Somalia has once again subverted the conventional concept of the whole world.

At the same time, in the office area of the Zhongnanhai government office in Hanjing, China, in the meeting room of the Politburo meeting, the No. 1 and No. 2 leaders and members of the Politburo were all present.

However, this was not a meeting, but a party-like conversation.

In the middle of the room, on top of a huge monitor. A live broadcast of the launch of the twin aircraft carriers in the central set is also being broadcast.

In fact, many of the people present also knew the Tao for the first time. It turned out that No. 1 and No. 2 made such a decision and secretly purchased two aircraft carriers from Somalia. No wonder there was no news in the whole world before. Feelings are too much to keep secret.

Although this is a bit arbitrary, these people are also used to it, and everyone is united in order to realize China's long-term strategy as soon as possible. Some of them, in the past, had asked the No. 1 chief whether they could buy aircraft carriers from Somalia, but they were rejected again and again......

"Do you have any opinions on this decision between the two of us?" The number one leader suddenly spoke.

"It's all about the national strategy. Naturally, we don't have any opinions, but there is a question, did these two aircraft carriers pay? As soon as Chief No. 1's voice fell, someone spoke.

The first leader did not speak, but asked the second leader, "How is it?" Does the deal feel like it's a loss? ”

"Alas!" The second leader sighed lightly, and said with a situation that only the two of them knew: "For me, this transaction has not lost or earned, but everything must be carried out according to the agreement. ”

The deal was lost or earned. For the No. 2 chief, it is really a loss, but everything is subordinated to the overall situation, and the weight of Li Lan is at present. It is absolutely impossible for China to take the initiative to offend him, otherwise even if the No. 1 leader has been friends for decades, the Politburo in front of him will not let him go.

"Is it still necessary to enforce that agreement? It's not like you haven't watched the video a while ago. Aren't you afraid of ......" The No. 1 chief said softly, as for the back. He didn't say it.

"A child has his own children and grandchildren, and he must strive for them. You and I can only support him as much as we can. The second leader shook his head, he also wanted his son to give up that idea, but he knew his son's character very well, his head was harder than smeared with Indian divine oil, and he made a decision that even the earth's gravity could not pull it back.

Some of the people were very puzzled by the words of the two of them, and some of them seemed to have understood, especially one of these people, who specially expressed a grateful look to the No. 1 chief.

After receiving this look, the No. 1 leader did not say anything, and said directly: "Although it is not a formal meeting today, there are some things that still need to be discussed. Before I came here, I received a message from Comrade Wu Shengli, and I was very interested in one of them, so I hope you can speak your minds freely.

The news is that the Somali side has expressed a strong interest in the Diaoyutai and that the Somali side can intervene in the Diaoyutai incident between us and Japan if we need to. According to the results of our previous discussions, the Diaoyutai issue will be resolved later, but this is when Japan does not touch the bottom line. Now, let's talk about whether to involve Somalia in the Diaoyutai dispute. ”

"What means does the Somali side need to intervene and send a navy on a long journey?" Someone immediately asked.

The No. 1 leader shook his head and said, "I don't know if this matter is the information released by Li Lan after careful thinking, or the impulse of the young man. What the Somali side means is that we hope we can give them an excuse, for example, that we lease the Diaoyutai to Somalia for a short period of time as the sovereign side of the Diaoyutai, while we watch the drama later. ”

"Isn't it! Didn't Li Lan have nothing to trouble Lou in his arms? Even if he is Chinese, there is no need to do this! ”

"I can't understand this matter, is there something Li Lan himself has a plan that we can't understand?"

"I think it's possible, as long as it's not a long-term loan and the terms are like we want to take the initiative."

……

As soon as Chief No. 1's words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and everyone began to talk to each other to express their meanings.

The No. 1 leader was not idle, and asked the No. 2 leader beside him, "What do you think?" ”

"No matter what Li Lan's purpose is, it doesn't matter to us. Anyway, Diaoyutai is not an easy trouble to solve, and it is not bad for him to block it in front. The second leader briefly weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and said, "Have you also decided?" ”

"Li Lan's patriotism is good, but his ambition is not small!" Chief No. 1 only sighed, and as for whether he intended to agree to Somalia's proposal, he did not say.

…………

At this time, outside the Bagua City Shipyard, it was already surrounded by layers of people, and it was not a few minutes before the launching naming ceremony officially began.

In the limelight. Wu Shengli, Farah, and Suleiman walked onto the ceremony stage at the same time.

At this time, Zheng Xing had already begun to stand in front of the camera excitedly. The most important report before the ceremony began:

"The moment of excitement is coming, Admiral Wu Shengli, commander-in-chief of the navy. At one end of the square, a large number of lion dance teams have arrived, performed by Somali Navy soldiers and our Navy soldiers, and both sides will use the most traditional Chinese celebration customs to congratulate the launch of the aircraft carrier.

In the middle of the square, the Chinese navy soldiers had already lined up, and they were all young naval elites. He will use his own hands to operate these two 80,000-ton giant ships, continue to sail for more than 10,000 nautical miles, and return to the land of China.

According to the latest news, the two aircraft carriers will immediately launch a series of voyage test subjects during their return to sea. For example, sailing at full speed, high-speed sea through sharp turns, and aircraft carrier operations in bad sea conditions. One of the most important subjects is the convergence with the supply ships of the Somali Navy and the Chinese supply ships in the Indian Ocean. and carry out experimental resupply operations. After completing this important subject, the twin aircraft carrier formation will pass through the Strait of Malacca and return home.

Just now, a spokesman for the Somali Navy also announced. The USS Carlin aircraft carrier battle group will be dispatched to sail in formation with our twin carrier group in the Indian Ocean, between the warships of the two countries. There will also be a series of exercises in the Indian Ocean, and along the way our twin aircraft carrier formations. Delivered to the entrance to the Indian Ocean in the Strait of Malacca.

At present, our Navy's escort group in the Gulf of Aden and the escort group that has just arrived have converged. At that time, there will be two Type 052C Aegis missile destroyers, two Type 052B destroyers, four Type 054A frigates, as well as two dock landing ships and two supply ships, to form our twin aircraft carrier formation and return home together. According to information sent from China, in the East China Sea, our first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, is also ready to go to the Strait of Malacca to meet our two-aircraft carrier formation, and when the time comes, three aircraft carriers will sail into our South China Sea at the same time.

During this period, we will also pay close attention to this issue. ”

At the same time, the countries of the world also began to report on various news that appeared continuously, and all kinds of long guns and short cannons were also recording this high-profile launching and naming ceremony.

After World War II, so far, there has never been a double aircraft carrier launched at the same time in a shipyard, which is also known as a rare first time, and together with the construction of four aircraft carriers at the same time in Somalia, a new record has been created in the world.

The time for the ceremony to begin slowly came, and all the visitors fell silent when the military music was still playing.

After the music ended, Wu Shengli walked to the microphone of the speech, stood in front of the Chinese Navy soldiers who had finished the procession, and faced every crowd of onlookers and tourists who came to the scene.

"Today is an important day for the Chinese Navy, and as an old navy, I am deeply proud of my country. In the past, we had to admire the military strength of the United States, and I swore that sooner or later we Chinese would have some of the Americans, and the United States had aircraft carriers in World War II, and so far 77 aircraft carriers have been in service. However, China's aircraft carrier business is still in its infancy, and its technology is not yet mature.

These two aircraft carriers, although built by our friends, are also our pride, and everything is completely different from today. In the near future, our domestic aircraft carriers will be launched and named in the same place under the watchful eyes of the public, just like today.

Looking back at the First Sino-Japanese War, we will not forget the shame of the past 100 years, and from today onwards, our navy can say no to any harm inflicted on China and thoroughly protect our maritime rights and interests and vast maritime territory.

In the future, I believe that the two militaries will have more long-term development, achieve common progress, jointly respond to the world crisis, and cooperate closely and win-win results. ”

After the brief speech, four Chinese Navy soldiers came from behind, two of them holding a Chinese Navy flag in both hands, and the other two holding a Chinese flag in both hands.

In front of the procession of naval officers and men, two admirals with the rank of colonel stepped forward and each received two national flags. These two colonels were the first captains of these two aircraft carriers.

Subsequently, in the more passionate naval music, the launching naming ceremony officially began.

In the sound of the national anthem, the national flag was first raised above the aircraft carrier, and then in the military music of the Chinese Navy, the naval flag was also slowly raised.

During the launching and naming ceremony, the two first captains, after the national flag was raised, walked to the ceremony platform and pressed the button to prepare the ship.

On the top of the bow of the two aircraft carriers, a whole row of colored balls burst open at the same time after the button was pressed, and the flying colorful blessings flew with the blessing ribbons, and the rolled yarn silk spread out and rolled down.

Zhejiang, Hainan.

On the yarn silk in front of the bow of the two aircraft carriers, the names of the two aircraft carriers hang down, the No. 17 ship Zhejiang and the No. 18 ship Hainan.

According to the rules of naming warships in China, the two warships will belong to the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet respectively, and at this moment, these two warships have officially joined the Chinese Navy's combat series. As long as they return to China and install supporting electronic equipment and systems, and are equipped with carrier-based aircraft, then these two aircraft carriers will truly form combat effectiveness.

Accompanied by Suleiman and Farah, Wu Shengli then began a parade of Chinese and Somali sailors, and after the parade, the most celebratory work in the square began, with a lion dance performed by the navy soldiers of the two countries.

When the ceremony was officially over, a large number of warships appeared on the sea in the distance. At the front were two Somali Aegis ships, and behind were the Chinese Navy's fleet group coming to the Gulf of Aden.

The crowd did not disperse, because they all wanted to watch the two warships leave port. And the navies of both sides did not make them wait long, and in a wave of farewell gestures, the Chinese naval soldiers boarded the two aircraft carriers in turn. Tugboats flying the Somali flag are also ready to come to the aircraft carrier.

In a cheer, the cable was loosened, the anchor was raised, and a faint black smoke rolled up from the chimney on the aircraft carrier island.

Outside the crowd in the distance, inside an elongated car, Li Lan looked at the two giants who left the dock of the shipyard under the tugboat, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Although China has not paid for these two aircraft carriers, in the next ten years, China will continue to provide Somalia with refined iron ore, and Li Lan prefers this payment method to the billions of dollars.

However, his smile at the moment was not because there would be a steady stream of ore coming in in the next ten years, but because from today onwards, this world would change because of this.

Because no matter who it is, they can't sit idly by and watch the combination of China and Somalia.

A new pattern of the world is coming, and countries that cannot withstand such changes will naturally be annihilated in the course of history. (To be continued......)
