At this juncture, the task of large-scale air strikes in Operation Desert Storm has basically come to an end, and the next step is for the multinational force to launch a larger ground offensive against Iraq. The air raids at this stage can be regarded as impressive, and Qi Yiming sat in the rear to observe the operation, believing that the air force of the PLA performed remarkably.

More importantly, during the entire operation, the PLA, whether it was the Air Force, Navy or Army, did not lose a single life or a single piece of major equipment, which was also the envy of experts and military counterparts from various countries.

has won a lot of results, in addition to the prestige of the PLA for being bold and able to fight, the biggest actual beneficiary is, of course, Qi Yiming himself. The battles of this scale are all in vain, and every day Qi Yiming squats in the office and watches the number of experience points keep jumping up, and his heart is full of satisfaction and happiness.

When Operation Desert Storm was officially terminated, a new message was added to Qi Yiming's main control computer: Congratulations to the main controller for winning the "Desert Storm" and receiving the following rewards:

1。 Airspace Advantage Stealth Painting and Absorbing Material Techniques are unlocked, and the use of the above techniques can increase the ability of existing stealth units by more than 1 times, and the Black Hawk Fighter's RCS can reach 0 at 200 km. 01 sq.m.

2。 Randomly provide a Red Police Divisional Unit with a 1 Star Boost.

3。 8 Type 052A2 destroyers and 16 Type 054A2 frigates will be rewarded.

The three rewards are not very big in Qi Yiming's opinion, at least they are much worse than the magical things like getting married and giving away frozen space before, but some of them are also more practical. For example, the stealth technique of the second-level red police base has not been very mature, and many of the existing stealth techniques actually come from the contribution of the black technology research center, which is not much different from the stealth technology possessed by DARPA in the United States at the same time. This obviously made Qi Yiming not particularly satisfied, this time the base unlocked the two key stealth techniques, stealth paint and absorbing materials, which will inevitably greatly improve the combat capability of the air force.

Qi Yiming is a little regretful, although the stealth technique has been unlocked, the two types of stealth fighters J-20 and J-31 independently developed by the Republic are still not in the list that can be manufactured at the base. However, there are three stealth weapons: J-11 Black Hawk, J-7 Defender and H-9 Century, and Qi Yiming is generally satisfied.

The second reward increases the combat power star of an entire division-level unit, Qi Yiming really wants to add it to the head of the 309th Division, but there are now fifty divisions under his hands, and the chance of the 309th Division's turn is smaller, and it finally falls on the head of the 25th Red Alert Division. In addition to the 309th Division, the other 49 Red Police Divisions are all named Red Police XX Division, and each division is basically 2. The large number of 40,000 people is terrifyingly powerful. Every five divisions form an army corps, which means that there are as many as 10 Red Police Army Corps directly under Qi Yiming.

At this time, the Red Guard Legion was already similar in size to PLA, and Qi Yiming originally did not dare to continue to recruit Red Guard soldiers, but later the appearance of the frozen space made it possible to recruit and then send it into the frozen space as a piece of equipment to reserve and seal. Maybe such a large-scale force is useless on the earth at all, but Qi Yiming is still very nervous about doing this hamster game.

The last reward Qi Yiming is more helpless, a total of 24 destroyers, placed in a medium-sized naval power already feels that it is a windfall, but the base still sends 052A and 054A series. Although these two types of ships are called 052A2 and 054A2, and there are many improvements on the basis of the original, but after all, they are new wine in old bottles.

The 052A2 and 054A2 are almost identical to the original in appearance, the changes are mainly reflected in the weapon system and avionics system, their top three-coordinate radar has been updated, the detection range has been increased by about 30 percent, the 052A2 has been upgraded from the Thorn-1 missile to the Thorn-4 long-range air defense missile, and the 054A2 has increased the hangar area so that it can park two Z-20 helicopters. Both ships also have increased fire lanes, which can simultaneously guide 8 missiles to attack different air targets. The 054A2 has more improvements in anti-submarine, and the towed sonar and other equipment used have a larger detection range and higher sensitivity.

Despite these improvements, these two warships are not comparable with the 052D and 054B in service with the PLA Navy.

Originally, Qi Yiming thought that the navy had no interest in these two kinds of ships that could not be regarded as new or old, but the commander of the navy, Li Jing, still took over these twenty-four warships from Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming asked Li Jing why he wanted these things, and Li Jing replied: "Don't you think the speed of our equipment refitting is too fast, now our capital ships are already 052D, 054B, 055, and many people's perception of us is still at the level of 052A and 054A, the ships we were equipped with before were suddenly used for two or three years, which is always a suspicious thing, retaining a certain number of 'old ships', which can make people see that we have a development process, which is more convincing." ”

Originally, these old first-class warships used by the navy were basically used for military aid, and the main target was the Nanyang Republic. Of course, the Navy of the National Defense Forces of the Republic of Nanyang is no different from the PLA Navy, the ships are basically covered, and the only ones that can be seen in the 052A given to them are two, and the others are shielded by Qi Yiming in the hidden military port with a crack generator.

In order to take these 24 ships into active service, the Navy even returned some of the ships that had been used to Qi Yiming. Qi Yiming vaguely guessed that the navy would rather trade in the new for the old, on the one hand, the new ship could actually get it from Qi Yiming whenever it wanted, so it was not really sent away. On the other hand, because a large number of ships only need to be kept secret, it is simply impossible to send out the Lu to conduct much ocean-going training. It's like a young man who suddenly has a Rolls-Royce but is forbidden to drive it on the street, if so, the young man would rather drive a Porsche 911 and be able to show off. The psychology of the Navy is actually roughly equivalent to this.

Maybe using 052A, 054A, 052D, and 054B to do ocean-going training is completely different, at least it can't train sea-based anti-missiles, can't train to resist fleet saturation attacks, and so on, but it's better than sailors squatting in a military port and being in the fleet. At present, the navy has more than 100 main warships, but the deployment rate is not high, which really makes the navy scratch its head.

Later, Li Jing and other high-ranking naval officials also figured it out, preferring to use slightly inferior ones, but they could train more, and when time slowly accumulated, their more advanced ships could also be taken out. There is also a more critical factor, judging from the equipment level of 054A and 052A, it may be slightly worse than any Ticonderoga-class cruisers, but it is still a fierce general within the scope of the world, and the combat power of air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship is balanced, and it will feel luxurious for other countries to use.

Qi Yiming planned to recycle the 4 054A frigates that were originally kept, build a 055 cruiser and a 052D destroyer, and leave them for his Red Alert fleet.

Taking this opportunity, the Navy also readjusted the rules for ship naming and gunwales.

The first class of warships includes aircraft carriers, amphibious assault ships, and arsenal ships, which are mainly named after provinces. The second category of warships includes cruisers and destroyers, with cruisers named after provincial capitals, municipalities directly under the central government, and special zone cities, while destroyers mainly use the names of second- and third-tier cities and larger cities. The third class of warships is the frigate He light frigate, which is named after the fourth and fifth tier cities (prefecture-level cities). The naming of other ship types remains unchanged.

In terms of the port number, certain adjustments have also been made: the prefix 1 is a destroyer, the prefix 2 and 3 are conventional submarines, the prefix 4 is a nuclear submarine, the prefix 5 and 6 are frigates, the prefix 7 is a missile frigate, minesweeper and other small and medium-sized miscellaneous ships, the prefix 8 is a supply ship, and the prefix 9 is a landing ship. Training ships use four-digit broadboards, five-digit broadboards for small boats of less than 500 tons, and double-digit broadboards for main combat ships of more than 10,000 tons.

Such an adjustment is actually quite large, and the names of some warships will be adjusted, such as the destroyer Kunming, which is participating in the war in the Gulf, the name of the ship will be transferred to a cruiser, and her new name will be Yancheng, which originally belonged to the name of the frigate.

This time the name adjustment of the ship is actually a last resort, for example, the Type 055 cruiser will eventually be built to 30, the 052D will be equipped with 52, and there are only dozens of large and medium-sized cities, which is simply not enough. The situation is similar for frigates, with the 054 series and 056 classes adding up to a total of 100 units, and some of the frigates' names are apparently to be transferred to destroyers. For example, Ningbo, Yantai, Wenzhou, Zhenjiang, etc., which used to be the names of frigates, were upgraded because of the larger scale of the city.

The same goes for the shipside, the frigate is bound to exceed 100 ships in this grade, mainly because the number of light frigates will be very large, so it is obviously not enough to give them only the prefix of 5, and the navy of minehunters and frigates has long been out of equipment, and it is appropriate to take them out for frigates.

The Navy is extremely realistic this time, and the five-year naval development plan drawn up by them will expand the fleet at a rate of two cruisers, three destroyers, and four frigates per year. Many of the ships provided by Qi Yiming before were also returned to the sea for training because they could not be pulled out openly, and the Navy retained 20 055, 37 052D, 8 052A, 4 054B, and 16 054A as the main surface combat ship scale. In addition, the Navy also has plans to build two Type 002 nuclear aircraft carriers and two Type 075 amphibious assault ships within five years.

It is not comparable to the size of the navy before it, but it is more practical and easier to carry out missions on a global scale.

Qi Yiming also saw from this incident that the military is more and more interested in hoping to slowly break away from the magical but abnormal behemoth of the Red Police Base, relying on the Red Police Base, many defense enterprises have made essential progress and can manufacture a lot of high-tech weapons, and now the country's economy is developing rapidly, and the military has a lot of gold yuan in its hands. Under such conditions, the military prefers to get on the so-called right track.

"They probably thought that one day without the Red Police base, the huge country and army would still be able to function effectively." Qi Yiming doesn't mean anything to this, he positions himself more as a guide, and now on this road, the country can run on his own without support, and he doesn't have to deliberately want to provide anything.
