Chapter 346 346 The Navy also wants to join

Qi Yiming's basic suggestion to the Ministry of Defense is an opinion, what the Ministry of Defense adopts, what arranges, of course, they have the final say, and then Qi Yiming has heard more or less about some new plans of the Ministry of Defense, such as assigning Qi Yiming's killer force that has been sent into the frozen space The 309th Division Digital Mechanical Troops sent a foot phalanx to symbolize the country's strongest combat power, and in the equipment phalanx, after some discussion, it was decided to add a sickle machine formation. Although it is really difficult for the sickle mecha to keep pace, it is undoubtedly the only thing that a group of neat, tall and powerful mechs walk through Tiananmen Square and are inspected.

There are also various ideas that need to be verified and extreme, for example, some people suggest that the 310th Division of the Blue Army Corps, which is completely built along the route of the Western army, send a phalanx, while opponents believe that the 310th Division even has a different military uniform from the regular PLA troops, and in order to imitate the opponent as much as possible, they do not pay attention to the drill of the queue at all, and let these Blue Army soldiers kick the right step, which is not a blue army in itself.

However, seeing that the military parade was approaching, the army, air force, the Second Artillery Corps, and even the armed police were all busy, and the navy was unable to participate in the parade except for some planes, marines, shore-to-ship missiles, and so on, but the most important combat warships could not participate in the parade, which made the navy very unhappy. This is really a pity for the Navy.

For this reason, Navy Commander Li Jing brought a group of "little brothers" and rushed to Qi Yiming's territory, the base of the Xiangshan Strategic Bureau, to learn from Qi Yiming in person.

Li Jing and Qi Yiming are also familiar with each other, when Qi Yiming and Jiang Huayan got married before, they also participated in his wedding banquet, and Commander Li Jing had a relatively straightforward personality, so he pulled Qi Yiming when he came up and said: "Xiao Qi, I don't care what tricks you use, in short, in this forty years of Daqing, our navy can't let other branches of the military specialize in the front, you have to give us a head." ”

Qi Yiming suddenly frowned, and said, "I can't move your navy's tens of thousands of tons of ships to Chang'an Street, right?" ”

Li Jing said slyly: "You are resourceful and resourceful, and you have the most means, I believe you will always have a solution." ”

Navy parades are usually not accompanied by ordinary military parades, and most of them are separate parades, especially in large naval countries such as Japan, which like to engage in such things. Most military parades cannot be held along the coast, and even if the capital is coastal, it is difficult to pinch the army, navy, and air force together for review, so most of the time, each country does not bring its navy to play in the parade. Of course, there are exceptions, and that is the Three Families. Ah San likes military parades, which is known all over the world, and their military parades have a strong entertainment nature, not only parade floats like to go all the way with artillery tanks, but also proud of a bunch of people like acrobatics piled on motorcycles. The A-San military parade review of the navy is even more special, they use a truck to install a large transparent glass fish tank, put a model of a ship in it and float on it, and the water in the fish tank is moving when the car moves, as if the model is really sailing......

This method, except for the great bureau seat thinks that it is deliberately borrowed, most serious soldiers and military fans cannot accept such a child's play.

Qi Yiming pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Well, okay, I'll take this matter, I'll see if there's anything I can do, and I'll definitely give the navy a satisfactory answer in the end." ”

Li Jing opened his mouth and wanted to continue to persuade Qi Yiming to help, but before he could speak, Qi Yiming gave a positive answer, and said, "You actually agreed?" ”

"Ha Luha, Commander Li, your request, I naturally don't dare to be careless."

Li Jing pursed his lips and said: "I thought you would do everything possible to refuse, but this is fine, it saves me a lot of tongues, and our navy is looking forward to your high moves." ”

Qi Yiming smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, but what is going to be on the naval parade, you have to start planning." ”

Li Jing obviously thought about this problem, and he muttered: "Although the two aircraft carriers are very wary of taking them out, the Military Commission will definitely not agree to it. ”

Aircraft carriers are the most important weapon of the country and the ultimate embodiment of a country's armed forces, and some people think of the US military, and their first reaction is that the US military has more than 10 aircraft carriers, and the status of an aircraft carrier is absolutely very important, and judging from China's current situation, it is really not appropriate to show it to others for the time being.

In the next step, several major domestic shipyards in Jiangnan, Hudong, Huangpu and Dalian will take on the main shipbuilding tasks of the navy, and the Qingdao shipyard pulled up by Qi Yiming also has the ability to manufacture surface ships below medium-sized level, and the Wuchuan basically absorbed the manufacturing process of AIP submarines, and Bohai Heavy Industry has also completed the technical verification of the construction of 095 and 096 nuclear submarines.

It can be said that Qi Yiming's true identity is an emergency or foundation, and the navy still hopes that in the future, it will be able to develop its own strength more in the normal mode of procurement and planning. What's more, now that the total tonnage of the Navy's main combat ships is more than one million, they are not in a hurry, and Qi Yiming will not be able to make use of it.

Qi Yiming also knows a little about the development of several shipyards, Jiangnan is still in a relatively high position, and four 052A destroyers were built under the guidance and help of base engineers, which have been sold to South Korea and renamed as Gwangkaetu Dawang-class destroyers. With this experience, Jiangnan Shipyard directly skipped the 052D and directly launched the project of the 10,000-ton Type 055 cruiser. Because of the strong rise of the economy, there is no such thing as suppressing military spending to fight for the economy with all its might, but military spending is basically maintained at 1 of GDP. About 5% to 2%, the national defense budget for this fiscal year has reached 125 billion yuan. Excluding personnel costs and operational maintenance costs, 40 percent of the funds will be used for scientific research and equipment replacement of military equipment. The Central Military Commission has also adopted a phalanx of equal proportions, and basically the four major branches of the military are equally divided, so the navy's expenses alone are as high as 12.5 billion yuan.

In the eyes of Li Jing and other military bigwigs, it is simply incredible, they were so poor that they couldn't open the lid of the pot before, and now they are so rich that they don't know how to spend money. Moreover, Qi Yiming's Red Police Base provides most of the active equipment, and in fact, everything the navy uses to build it is a bit redundant. But the money was not spent, it was taken away, and the navy launched some projects in addition to investing more in scientific research.

The main plan of the Navy this fiscal year is that Jiangnan has received orders for two Type 055 missile cruisers, each worth 7. 800 million RMB. Qi Yiming felt that the price was still a bit inflated, after all, the purchasing power of the renminbi has always been a ship in these years, and a dime buys two tea eggs in many places, and a TV set is less than 500 yuan. So nearly 800 million yuan is already an unimaginable astronomical amount.

However, this offer is not much higher, the warship itself is a high value-added product, the military intends to support military enterprises, in reason, like the Ticonderoga-class cruiser of the US military, the grade is slightly worse than 055, regardless of the size of the tonnage, firepower, avionics level is a few points weaker, it has reached more than 900 million US dollars in the cost of a single ship, that is to say, a 055 made in China is not even one-ninth of the Ticonderoga-class.

In addition to the two Type 055 cruisers, the Navy also placed orders for two 054B frigates each in Hudong and Huangpu, with a single ship price of 2. 400 million yuan, a total of 10 orders for Type 056 corvettes were placed in the three shipyards of Wuchuan, Liaonan and Qingdao, with a single ship price of 80 million. Bohai Heavy Industry is building a 095 with a single ship price of 500 million yuan.

All of the above ships are built in their own countries, and compared with other countries, the cost is so low that other countries can envy them. For example, the Guangkaitu Dawang-class destroyers sold to South Korea will cost more than 3 billion yuan each, which is enough to purchase four Type 055 cruisers. On the one hand, although China's production costs are low, on the other hand, the grossly undervalued exchange rate also plays a considerable role.

Then there is the Navy's order for a Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in Dalian Shipyard, compared with other types of ships, the technical difficulty and construction period of aircraft carriers are much longer, although the 002 type of technical skills Red Alert engineers have basically mastered, and the hardware facilities also exist, there is nothing to verify. Even so, the keel of the ship was laid at the beginning of this year, and it is expected that the ship will be officially launched in 1991, and it will take at least another year for outfitting and sea trials, so the ship can enter active service in 1993 at the earliest.

In such a comparison, the speed of Qi Yiming's Red Police Base in building and serving ships can be said to be ****.

The cost of self-built Type 002 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is 4 billion yuan, but because of the long cycle, these 4 billion yuan are diluted in five fiscal years, and this year the navy will only spend 20 percent of the construction cost, that is, 800 million.

The Navy has set a procurement budget of about 9.4 billion yuan a year for the procurement of some miscellaneous military auxiliary ships, HNA aircraft, and other equipment, and 3.1 billion yuan has not been spent, and the navy has mainly invested this money in base construction, scientific research, and personnel training.

Not surprisingly, the Navy will still get a large budget next year, and then happily don't know how to spend it. Later, the U.S. Navy also had 310,000 personnel and operated 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, more than 30 large amphibious ships, more than 70 nuclear submarines, and nearly 100 main battle surface ships. At present, the navy also has an establishment of about 300,000 people, the difference is that the Marine Corps is not an independent branch of the army, but belongs to the subordinate existence in the navy, and there are also 40,000 or 50,000 people, so the actual strength of the navy is more than 200,000.

The more than 200,000 people will operate 4 aircraft carriers, 6 amphibious assault ships, 4 arsenal ships, 26 cruisers, 52 destroyers, 40 frigates, 60 corvettes, 12 dock landing ships, 40 conventionally powered submarines, 16 strategic nuclear submarines, and 31 attack nuclear submarines. Among them, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes and attack nuclear submarines have the possibility of continued expansion.

Qi Yiming understands that with the current human resources of the navy, the scale of the fleet can be expanded. However, the logistics support provided by the base for the navy is already a huge expense, and if the logistics are fully covered by the defense budget, the size of the fleet is estimated to be financially bankrupt in a year. The navy is also fortunate to have Qi Yiming's support.
