Qi Yiming: From the perspective of later generations, the real Chinese Navy began to expand after 2005, especially after 2010, basically the total tonnage of new ships in service in the Navy every year is more than 100,000 tons. As long as this trend continues for ten years, it will soon be able to compete with the US imperialism, which is known as the global People's Liberation Army.

Qi Yiming returned to 1985, of course, he never forgot the Navy, saying that he was a military fan in the super base camp registered military rank or naval rank, but the Navy is in a hurry, and it is useless to be in a hurry. Now there are four million troops in the country, and if you add the uncles of the armed police, the personnel expenses alone are scary enough. It is still a period of economic construction, and it is not only that the military does not have so much money to buy and upgrade new equipment, but that the maintenance of old equipment is slackened because of the lack of funds.

At this time, there were still many naval vessels, but they were mainly equipped with small-tonnage frigates and submarine hunters. The navy is a big gold-swallowing beast, even if Qi Yiming relies on the dock of the base to build dozens of advanced warships for the navy, just maintenance and training are enough for the poor navy to break its purse.

In addition, strategically, Qi Yiming hopes to consolidate the superiority of the PLA and further improve the territorial air defense capability of the Air Force, because the Navy will not be able to run to the ocean for a while and a half, and it will not be long before he crosses, and it is not too late to start now.

The sub-base was decided to be opened in Huludao, and a tidal flat that no one used was selected, and he directly began to build his own hidden underground base on this unstable landform. The sub-base MCV has the ability to go underground, which also provides convenient conditions for its safety, this sub-base Qi Yiming can not open all the buildings, because each building has its construction ceiling, he finally chose to build two power plants, a mining plant, a land-based radar station, a barracks, two docks and a maintenance factory. In addition, considering the need for manufacturing capacity, Qi Yiming had to sell a tank factory in the main base and re-open a new sub-base to provide companies in various industries with the required equipment and certain product parts.

In addition to the role of providing equipment and parts, the Huludao sub-base also serves as shipbuilding. Although the base is built on a shallow tidal flat, thanks to the powerful and inexplicable force of the shipyard, this sea area, which could not dock any medium-sized ships or more, has become a good harbor with an average water depth of about 15 meters.

"If you have this ability, you can find a random place to install an MCV in the future, lay a dock, and then the MCV will leave, and the dock will be sold, leaving a deep-water port, and it will all be engaged in dredging projects." Qi Yiming, who had a flexible mind, immediately thought of such a good idea, the northern region has many tidal flats, and the geology is not good, so there are not many deep-water ports that can dock large ships, so the well-known ports in the north are Dalian, Tianjin, Qingdao, Rizhao, Lianyungang, etc. Unlike the coastal areas south of the Yangtze River, there are many good ports, which are extremely conducive to the development of foreign economic and trade and logistics.

He doesn't have time to do such a thing now, and running the shipyard to put the shipbuilding of the Navy on the agenda has begun to become his current second largest business after the localization of the F-14.

What kind of ships does the Navy need, of course, you have to ask the Navy. Qi Yiming specially went from Huludao to Beijing to meet Admiral Liu Huaqing, a general who had a major position in the history of the Navy in later generations, and was also known as the "father of China's aircraft carriers".

Obviously, a high-ranking general like Liu Huaqing, the commander-in-chief of the navy, had a clear idea of what Qi Yiming was doing, and pulled Qi Yiming into his office, with an eager and enthusiastic face, and said with a smile: "My biggest question these days is when Comrade Xiao Qi, a boy with scattered wealth, will come to our navy." Ha Luha, Wang Hai's kid took over more than 100 fighters from your hands, like that, it's just dragged to the sky, our Hainan Airlines finally pulled out a regiment of Flying Leopard fighters in his hands, and he was reluctant for a while, I always wanted to talk to you, but you went to the United States again, and now you have brought the F-14 back, hehe, I finally hope you back. ”

Qi Yiming was quite shy and embarrassed, and said: "Things are a little busy, I have always been concerned about the affairs of the navy, but I haven't made any contact with you, I'm sorry." ”

Liu Huaqing patted him on the shoulder heartily, his strength was not small, and he said bluntly: "You don't have to be sorry, you just need to raise the equipment level of our navy, and I can apologize to you." ”

The two laughed, and the host sat down on the sofa in the office. Qi Yiming and Liu Huaqing briefly exchanged pleasantries for a moment, then took out a document that was only a few pages from his briefcase and handed it to General Liu Huaqing.

The Commander of the Navy took it and found that it was actually an advertising leaflet introducing various ships. Ships range from destroyers, frigates, diesel-electric submarines, and nuclear submarines to auxiliary minesweepers and small missile boats. Moreover, these ship materials are also accompanied by photos and pictures, which look quite intuitive, Liu Huaqing couldn't help but breathe and became heavy, just like a junior brother who met a naked peerless beauty.

Qi Yiming explained at this time: "I plan to build two naval shipyards in Huludao, each with an annual output of 240,000 tons of ship tonnage, and I have also marked the more reliable types of ships that can be built at this stage, but what kind of development strategy is the navy, after we figure it out here, the navy orders ships, and we can start to provide combat weapons for the navy." ”

"240,000 tons per shipyard? So you can build nearly 500,000 tons of warships in a year? Oh my God, this ship-building ability is terrifying. Hehe, this is not surprising, Wang Hai told me, you have made full horsepower to build fighter planes for the Air Force, which is more than 2,000 a year, which is really amazing. Liu Huaqing sighed.

He immediately carefully browsed through the materials in his hand, and some questions that were not particularly clearly described, he focused on asking Qi Yiming, but fortunately, Qi Yiming himself had also done a lot of homework, so the answers were fluent, just like an insider.

"Comrade Xiao Qi, according to what you see, what kind of naval fleet do you think our navy should develop in a certain period of time?" Liu Huaqing asked.

Qi Yiming looked at him and asked himself, although he was not necessarily right, but he still boldly expressed his opinion: "Commander Liu, our navy has a weak foundation, poor traditions, and is short of money and equipment. Moreover, at a time when the country's economy has not yet caught up, and when China's overseas interests are not obvious, it is actually of little significance to develop a powerful ocean-going blue-water navy. Of course, with the rapid development of our country after that, perhaps in less than ten years, we need such a navy to protect our national interests and the rights and interests of the people. However, the most urgent task at this stage is how to build up an adequate military presence and maritime deterrence in the Yellow Waters, that is, in several marginal seas near the coast, especially in the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, and the South China Sea.

We have put aside Japan for the time being, but the experience of later generations is that Japan will still jump out and talk about things, and we must not relax. In the South China Sea, the encroachment of Southeast Asian countries on China's Sansha islands and reefs is shocking, so we must have the ability to protect the inviolable sovereignty and territorial integrity of our countries. To build such a fleet, we do not need particularly powerful large surface ships, because the level of the main opponents we face is also limited, a general-purpose main frigate of four or five thousand tons, supplemented by more than a thousand tons of offshore multi-purpose corvettes, and the establishment of a sufficient number of elusive conventional submarine forces, is enough for our navy to establish our maximum control capability in the marginal seas, in fact, within the first island chain.

At the same time, because the Taiwan issue has not yet been resolved, after we have established a certain coastal defense capability, we should focus on building an amphibious fleet, which is mainly composed of amphibious dock landing ships, amphibious assault ships, and large air-cushion landing craft, which can at any time project a large amount of combat strength into the area where the accident occurred under the cover of shore-based aviation. ”

Liu Huaqing couldn't help but applaud: "That's right, it's really good, Comrade Xiaoqi!" Your strategic vision is powerful, and your analysis is reasonable, and our navy should indeed use the model you said to gradually develop the Yellow Water Defensive Fleet and the Amphibious Fleet, and then build an ocean-going navy after the accumulation is sufficient! ”

As he spoke, his face was covered with a layer of longing light, and his fingers were also pressed on the stack of materials, and on the picture of the Liaoning, China's first aircraft carrier in the future, it seemed that he wanted to take it out of the picture and put it in front of him to take a good look at her.

Qi Yiming looked at his excited appearance, and couldn't help but admire in his heart, this general is really in the midst of despair, but he always has the ambition of Lingyun, and the subsequent naval rabbits are all following the guidance of this general, and finally built a powerful navy step by step. And since then, the Chinese Navy has carried a strong Liu brand.

When Liu Huaqing came back to his senses slightly, he raised the information in his hand again, pointed to a few ships and said: "The four or five thousand ton general-purpose frigate you are talking about, is it this 054A, well, it looks quite beautiful, and the ability of air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship is also relatively balanced, and it is not a problem to deal with our opponents in this region." The corvette is this 056, alas, this firepower configuration, don't look small, I'm afraid there are few ships in active service in our navy that can compare to her. Do diesel-electric submarines use this Type 039A absolute propulsion? Oh, yes, yes, it can be used as a nuclear submarine for two weeks. ”

Qi Yiming smiled slightly: "Yes, Commander Liu still discussed with everyone, set a charter, let's first determine this year's shipbuilding capacity, what ships to build, how many to build, give me a plan, I can implement it immediately." ”
