Qi Yiming made people open up overseas bases for the navy, and the navy also made great efforts to improve its combat level at home. Although the navy has won many battles since the war against the ROK in '85, it has basically dealt with small coffees, which is not worth mentioning. The navy that has dealt with the big countries is not the PLA but the southern solution, although the experience can be inherited, it is still quite insufficient. Moreover, from the current point of view of the PLA, the level of the United Kingdom is no longer enough to pay attention to, and the PLA's catch-up object is the US Navy.

In the past few days, a no-sail zone has been set up in the Bohai Sea to prepare for naval exercises. It should be said that the northern shipping is basically concentrated in the ports of the Shandong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula, such as Qingdao and Dalian, while the Bohai Sea is located in Tanggu and Huludao. Originally, the Bohai Sea was an important area for China's coal mine shipping, but after Qi Yiming intervened in the economy, the country built a Tesla magnetic power plant, and focused on the development of wind power, hydropower, etc., and then the base was upgraded and began to build nuclear power plants, at the latest into the nineties, even with the country's amazing economic growth rate, electricity is nearly one-third of the backup surplus electricity, so even if there are cleaner Allied thermal power plants, Qi Yiming also compressed it to a relatively low proportion.

Changes in the energy mix have also taken a toll on China's coal transportation and exports, so the Sanheng coal railway from Shanxi to the Bohai Sea has been largely abandoned, and there are no more coal ships on the Bohai Sea.

In addition, the whole country has been cracking down on illegal fishing since '87, implementing fishing bans and standards to regulate mesh, prohibiting illegal fishing activities such as exploding fish, and some localities have begun to issue fishing licenses in limited quantities, and there are not many fishermen in coastal areas. It is said that in the 80s, China's coastal fishery resources were still relatively rich, because 20 years of overfishing led to the embarrassing situation of no fish in later generations. Therefore, for the sake of sustainable development, even if it is possible to destroy the livelihoods of some people, these legal systems must be established.

In order to make up for the losses of fishermen, the state has introduced a policy of supporting loans to buy medium- and large-scale distant-water fishing vessels, and has asked local governments to set up some fishing companies. But more broadly, it is still necessary to consciously guide some fishermen to change their industries and enter the industrial or service industry, such as working in seafood processing factories or something.

Many regulations and policies have made shipping in the Bohai Sea far less busy than in the East China Sea and the South China Sea, so the navy can regularly designate no-navigation zones to conduct exercises here. Coupled with the help of the crack generator in Qi Yiming's Red Police Base, important military secrets were also leaked.

The establishment of a no-sail zone this time is for the Navy to find out a new toy of its own - the Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. It has a full load displacement of 80,000 tons, a length of 330 meters, a total width of 84 meters, a draft of 12 meters, a maximum speed of more than 30 knots, and a crew of more than 4,500 people. The normal mission carrier-based aircraft is equipped with 48 F-14CN, 4 Air Police-1300, 4 Z-20 helicopters, and 1 Y-13 carrier-based transport aircraft, and the maximum number of military aircraft in wartime is more than 70.

Speaking of which, Qi Yiming had previously proposed to the United States to introduce American carrier-based aircraft such as E-2, C-2, and S-3, but the United States rejected it on the grounds that China had no aircraft carrier. Later, Qi Yiming had to organize Red Alert engineers and military enterprise researchers to collectively tackle key problems, and built the Y-13 platform based on the technical materials and designs preserved in the base. The Y-13 is 18 meters long, has a maximum take-off weight of 28 tons, is equipped with two turboprop engines, and must eject and take off.

Originally, there were fixed-wing carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft projects, but the progress was not as smooth as the Y-13 series, so it could not be adopted in place at the moment, and Qi Yiming felt that the United States would sooner or later eliminate the S-3, and there were anti-submarine helicopters and attack nuclear submarines in the aircraft carrier fleet, and such anti-submarine capabilities were not weak, and the status of carrier-based fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft such as S-3 was somewhat embarrassing. Therefore, Qi Yiming can't make up his mind whether to engage in a Chinese version of the S-3.

The advent of the Type 002 aircraft carrier is equivalent to a geometric increase in the combat power of the Navy, which has greatly improved the Navy's ocean-going firepower projection level. Originally, the Type 002 aircraft carrier was not nuclear-powered, but thanks to Kirk's "kindness" in leaving the frozen combat vehicle on the Sino-Soviet border, the miniature nuclear reactor technology inside was absorbed by the base and the black technology center, enriching the base's technical reserves, and also making the Type 002 aircraft carrier have a nuclear-powered option.

Liu Huaqing has stepped down as commander of the navy and has been appointed to the army, but he is still particularly concerned about the development of naval equipment. The veteran general, who has the dream of a great aircraft carrier, is standing in high spirits at the moment in the bridge of the Type 002 aircraft carrier No. 2 Shandong, observing the training of this aircraft carrier.

Li Jing, who has changed from the commander of the Navy to the commander of the Navy, said to him with a smile: "The delivery of the F-14 to the United States has been completed, and we have 150 F-14CN fighters in the HNA region, and Shen Fei is carrying out the next step of the F-14 improvement, this time without the participation of the Americans, we have obtained the production license of the F-14, but limited to the contract, some parts still need to be purchased from the United States, but in fact, we are close to completely self-made Tomcat fighters." Therefore, we plan not to tell the Americans how many planes we want to produce, but only to purchase parts and components sporadically and say that they want to reserve, and the Americans may not be able to distinguish clearly. ”

Liu Huaqing nodded happily and said, "How many tomcats are you going to make?" ”

Li Jing said in a daze: "The Air Force has operated 800 Black Hawks and 600 Flying Cloud Leopards, so we have to install at least five or six hundred Tomcats." If the money is not enough, let Comrade Xiao Qi make it for free, and the United States will deal with it and pit them. ”

Liu Huaqing smiled and said: "Even if there are so many fighters, you don't have so many pilots." ”

"The Air Force is not the same, a large number of good planes are thrown in those underground caves, and they may not be used once in most of the year, what is the difference between them and mothballing." In fact, although it is said that the Air Force cannot operate so many fighters, in fact, those so-called mothballed fighters are all equipped with red alert pilots, and it is naturally inappropriate to say that they will not be used all year round.

Liu Huaqing thought for a while and said, "The above is the next 5 to the United States." The $600 million order for spare parts, almost plus the components on our side, can form another 70 Tomcats, plus our existing fighters, a total of 220 aircraft, we will build two aircraft carriers in the short term, these plus the use of shore-based aviation, is enough, there is no need to increase more, our naval aviation is not an air force. ”

Li Jing frowned and said: "Obviously, you can make it yourself, and you have to send money to the Yankees, what kind of spirit is this, internationalism?" "In the past few years, the economy has improved, and the originally suppressed military spending has also kept up, and there has been no long-term pressure on the budget in the original timeline. This fiscal year, the entire army received a total military budget of 8.5 billion US dollars, which seems to be completely different from later generations, but it is converted into 68 billion soft sister coins. Personnel costs account for about $1.5 billion, and $2 billion is for military operations, logistics, and maintenance, of which naturally is offset by the help of bases, and the remaining $4 billion is the budget for the purchase of military equipment.

Although the Qi Yiming base monopolizes most of the supply of military uniforms, it is impossible for the PLA not to distribute any soup to domestic military enterprises, and the army, navy and air force and the second artillery have casually made some things for them to produce, so that the military enterprises will not be unable to eat domestic demand. For example, the army purchased 3.2 billion soft sister coins of ammunition, towed artillery, individual equipment, etc.; The Navy has spanned several years to let the shipyard build four 052A, but unfortunately it will not be used now, the Navy is worried about finding a home for these ships at this time, in addition to four ships, the Navy's J-8V is not provided by the base, but purchased from Shenfei; The Air Force purchased 8 transport aircraft, 24 J-10Bs, anti-aircraft missiles and many other equipment with 5 billion soft sister coins; The Second Artillery Corps purchased 2.2 billion yuan from Changjian cruise missiles, Dongfeng-15 tactical ballistic missiles and other equipment.

Naturally, there is still a large balance in these purchases, and the old men of the Commission for Discipline Inspection are staring at the fact that it is impossible for the military to use it to distribute benefits, either the military saves it, or it is used to build a base or purchase equipment again.

Liu Huaqing patted him on the shoulder and said, "There are other political considerations in this, 5. The $600 million is meant to mend Sino-US relations. ”

Li Jing still complained a little: "To put it bluntly, it's protection money, it's really aggrieved." ”

Liu Huaqing looked far away and sighed: "We are not strong enough, only by being careful and patient, and protecting ourselves everywhere can we have a chance to pull the US imperialists off the horse. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Old commander, what you have learned is this." ”

A tomcat with a bomb on the deck was about to take off, Liu Huaqing watched with great interest, he pointed to the missile hanging under the wing of the fighter, and asked, "Is this the new immortal bird missile that we developed with Hughes and Thor in the United States?" ”

Li Jing said: "That's right, we have always disliked the immortal bird is too big, and the aerodynamics are not good, the United States also feels that our PL-12 is better, in addition to copying our Thunderbolt missile, they also proposed to cooperate in the development of a new generation of immortal birds, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to provide us with all the skills of the immortal birds." Originally, we thought that there was no need to make another immortal bird come out, but Comrade Xiao Qi was quite enthusiastic about this, and he got a sum of money to transfer people to accompany the Americans to make trouble, and finally last month the missile was finalized and began service testing. ”

The official code name of the new generation of undead birds is AIM-54D, the leader is the US Navy, the US Air Force borrowed from the PL-12 to engage in AIM-120, the US Navy has their own military prejudices, and intends to start anew, so they also asked Chinese to help, ready to make a fuss on the undead birds. Qi Yiming thought about it for a while and agreed to engage in this cooperation with the United States, and after two years, he finally developed a new generation of immortal birds that are much smaller than the immortal bird, the wings are more reasonable, and the weight is only 280 kilograms, but the range reaches 200 kilometers.

According to the agreement, the two developers have the right to manufacture the weapon themselves without paying any royalties, so it is about the benefit of both parties. At first, China bought more than 300 Immortal Bird missiles for the F-14, and then did not continue to buy them, because they were too expensive, and although they had a long range, they could not afford to consume them. The ability to build the AIM-54D on its own also allowed the Navy to acquire a longer-range air supremacy weapon.
