After visiting the shipyard, Chen Shao took Xie Yuxin to watch the training of various arms, and then took the shipbuilders' dormitories to comfort the shipwrights' families, and built a small town at the dock not far from the shipyard to provide food and lodging for the shipbuilders, and many of the shipwrights' families live there. The town has all kinds of facilities, and it is not much different from ordinary towns, the only difference is that this town is considered isolated.

Early the next morning, Chen Shao and others directly boarded the provincial-level cruiser Guangxi, and after a whistle sounded, the Guangxi sailed out of the military port under the escort of two city-class destroyers. The military port is between the shipyard and the wharf, and now this wharf has not been officially opened to the public, and is generally only used as a military port. After container ships and ro-ro ships begin to be delivered to the Sino-Ocean Group of Longteng Group, this terminal will be officially opened and used exclusively for loading and unloading goods. As for opening up to the outside world, it will be when Chen Shao's fist is hard enough to not be afraid of anyone, and that is when this pier is open to the outside world.

The cruiser slowly used the gourd mouth, and along the way there were many offshore oil wells, and the cruiser would occasionally lean up and greet the oil drillers above. When the workers saw Chen Shao on the cruiser, they all cheered excitedly, the supreme chairman came to visit them, what could be more exciting than this?

The offshore oil workers work for a month, only a few days a month back on land, and on the boring sea, there is no other leisure program at all, except for the radio. The same life, ordinary people can't stand it at all, fortunately you can earn a good salary here, and sometimes you can also look at the training scene of naval training, for these steel giants, offshore oil workers have enough understanding, when the pipeline was erected, they often boarded the warships that came to help, and they also have a strong navy for their own country, which also makes them feel very proud. Offshore oil workers have good cultural knowledge, think about the first day after the first day, will China still have a navy? In addition to the several hundred tons of Zhongsan ships in Nanjing, and they are not at all a level opponent with their warships.

In the South China Sea now, some of the Navy's small-tonnage patrol ships have been patrolling here. From the beginning of the construction of the first oil well, to the current dozens of oil wells, the number of patrol ships of the Navy has also increased from a few to dozens, and this place is also the range of submarines entering and exiting, and the defense and secrecy are not inadequate.

The current submarines of the People's Army Navy are not the kind of small submarines produced in the First World War, and the current submarine displacement has climbed above the 1,000-ton level, and some old submarines have also been mothballed one after another.

This submarine, numbered Q-2 submarine, is shaped in a water-drop streamline shape and has a self-loading torpedo device, which can fire all torpedoes in 20 minutes. The standard displacement is 1260 tons, the speed on the water is 18 knots, and the underwater limit speed is 9 knots. The crew was 54 people, equipped with 24 torpedoes, and the ship was equipped with four high-level 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

At this time, the scope of activity of the People's Army Navy was only the waters between Guangxi and Hainan, and except for submarines, it had not yet gone out of Hainan. This time, Chen Shao's destination was fifty nautical miles away from Hulukou, where the South China Sea Fleet was assembling and waiting for Chen Shao's arrival.

The purpose of Chen Shao's visit was to inspect the performance and combat effectiveness of the South China Sea Fleet. The main thing is to see the situation of the aircraft carrier, whether it can form real combat effectiveness.

The three warships, led by the Guangxi, used radio to maintain close contact with the South China Sea Fleet. The voyage on the sea is boring, and Chen Shao, who was standing on the bridge, watched the warship chop the waves at sea and move forward quickly. Thinking that the navy that he has been building for almost ten years has already achieved such results in just ten years, although the Red Alert has made great contributions, those workers, scientists, engineers, and naval officers and men are also heroes, and these cannot be erased. I just gave them a platform to show their strength, and if it weren't for their efforts, maybe the navy would not have been formed by now. Countless people's children and soldiers have invested in the Naval Academy, countless young people have chosen the Navy, and the training of various arms is definitely the most tired, and it is also the loneliest, unlike on land, you can go home to see your wife and children and your parents during the holidays, but it is not so easy at sea, if you encounter a high-intensity sea training, it is possible that you have not landed on land for more than half a year.

The wind on the bridge was very strong, blowing Chen Shao's clothes tightly against him, it was winter, although it was in the south, the coolness of the sea had not diminished at all.

Looking at dozens of black smoke coming out of the sea level in the distance, Chen Shao held the hand on the railing, and unconsciously grasped it tighter and tighter because of excitement. That is its own navy, the people's navy, China's coastal defense, the hope of the nation, and the seeds of the deep blue.

The Guangxi slowed down and slowly approached the fleet, and at this time, Xie Yuxin also walked onto the bridge with Chen Yun in her arms, and the sea breeze was very strong just now, and she did not come out. Looking at the fleet that was getting closer and closer, looking at those huge warships, her heart was also very excited at this time. When they first started to build, Xie Yuxin was also there, but after all, it was just the beginning of construction, and there was nothing. Now it's been built and it's in front of your eyes.

Five warships of tens of thousands of tons, plus dozens of other warships, exercising at sea, what it looks like. That majestic momentum cannot be expressed in three words.

At this time, the five large ships had not yet been officially named, and the number under the bow was not like cruisers and destroyers. Chen Shao planned to wait for them to really form their combat effectiveness before naming them. Today is officially here for this.

The Guangxi slowly approached one of the aircraft carriers in the fleet, which was the flagship of the fleet, and Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan and Sea-based Air Force Commander Xu Jinghai were on board at this time. A dinghy sent Chen Shao and Xie Yuxin to the aircraft carrier, and when they stepped onto the deck of the aircraft carrier, all the warships sounded their whistles to welcome their supreme leader and leader's wife.

Chen Shao has always been committed to getting rid of the influence of agricultural civilization on the people, and has worked hard to set up industry, just to build a modern army. Land cultivation is important, but so is the development of industry. In modern times, the Western powers knocked on the door of the ancient land power countries with strong ships and cannons, and for the first time made us feel a powerful threat from the sea. In response, the Qing government tried to build an ironclad warship to "defend the enemy at sea" by imitating the strong ships and guns of the West. However, the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the entire Beiyang Fleet was wiped out, and the first attempt to modernize the military of the ancient Chinese civilization was not over. Although this was inseparable from the decaying Manchu rule at that time, there was an inherent conflict between the agrarian civilization and the modern army. History has shown that a strong navy is built on a socio-economic structure based on maritime trade. Zheng He's feat of going to the West is a great achievement in the history of navigation in China and even in the world, and has played an important and far-reaching impact on the exchange and dissemination of world civilization. However, for the agricultural civilization, this is undoubtedly a costly "image project", which is destined to be unsustainable. Zheng He's great voyage to the West is only a small episode in the history of the development of Chinese civilization, which can not only prove that the Chinese nation has enough wisdom to gallop on the sea, but also proves the incompatibility between agricultural civilization and modern army.

This is also the direction that Chen Shao has been working towards, Chen Shao did not choose to occupy the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, but chose the poor areas, which is also taken into account. Others are easy first and then difficult, his choice is to first difficult and then easy, there is no industrial base in the southwest region, and there is an urgent need for transformation, which will not be short. The rich areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang already have some foundations, and the transformation will be relatively simple in the future, and he does not want to make one place rich and one place poor, and strive to close the gap between the rich and the poor. If the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and a large number of people from poor areas pour into rich areas, this will also have a negative impact on economic and industrial construction. At the same time, he is also bringing the income of the farming people closer, subsidizing farmers, distributing high-yielding seeds, and recycling grain. So that all growers can have a certain economic income, but also provide a variety of natural disaster subsidies to reduce the loss of growers.

Chen Shao and the others, led by Chen Shaokuan and Xu Jinghai, came to the control tower on the bridge of the aircraft carrier, where the microphone had been prepared, and the warships of the fleet had also turned on their stereos, ready to listen to Chen Shao's speech. Chen Shao didn't let them wait too long, took the microphone handed over by Chen Shaokuan and said slowly:

"Hello to all the officers and men of the Navy. Although I rarely come to see you, I have always been concerned about you. You are the hope of China's future and the pride of the people, and although you are still unknown, I assure you that in the near future, you will definitely appear in front of the eyes of the world in a beautiful manner, and all the sons and daughters of China will be proud of you.

The sea is boring and boring, but I believe that no matter how great the difficulties are, our people's navy will not be overwhelmed, because you are the hope of the country's coastal defense and the backbone of expanding the country's influence.

The task of the People's Navy is very heavy, and this requires us to be more strict with ourselves, train our skills, learn skills, and master all kinds of weapons and equipment, so as to better meet the various challenges in the future. Our main training tasks in the coming days are: First, to destroy the enemy's combat ships and transport ships and to disrupt the enemy's maritime communications; second, to attack important targets near enemy naval bases, ports, and coasts; The third is to cooperate with the army and air force to carry out counter-attacks and defend naval bases, ports and important coastal targets; Fourth, it is necessary to coordinate with the army and air force to carry out landing operations and anti-landing operations; fifth, to carry out naval blockade and first-class operations; Sixth, it is necessary to protect the safety of China's maritime transportation, fishery production, resource development, scientific experiments, and marine surveys.

The mission of the Navy is to implement our military strategy and maritime strategy, defend the sovereignty of the country's territorial waters, and safeguard the country's maritime rights and interests. ”
