What is the role of the Navy? With the development of military science and technology today, if it is only to defend the homeland and defend the country, in the case of satellites, many air forces in coastal areas, and long-range missiles, if there is an enemy naval invasion, how much role can it play?

Now it is no longer an era when coastal defense weapons only have main guns, and cruise and navigation missiles alone can attack aircraft carriers and warships thousands of miles away, and big countries like China and the United States really want to fight each other, and the role of the navy is not so great, after all, even if it is an aircraft carrier formation, its bomb carrying capacity is limited.

The ground forces are different, the logistics can be endless, and the flexibility of various land-based weapons that can be moved is also stronger than that of warships, and it is simply impossible to imagine that the United States is bullying a small country like Syria.

Therefore, in his view, what today's navy needs to develop is long-range combat capabilities, and supply ships are just an indispensable part of this, and the South China Sea Fleet, as one of the two major fleets of China, is bound to take this step.

However, as Commander Xie said, the aircraft carrier formation is still a new topic for the South China Sea Fleet, and it will take time to precipitate if it wants to mature.

"That's not bad, the rice is eaten one bite at a time, the road is taken step by step, and no one can soar into the sky."

The two chatted about the supply ship for a while, and then talked about the aircraft carrier, the second domestic aircraft carrier was officially put into service with the South China Sea Fleet, and then the third aircraft carrier entered construction, and this aircraft carrier was started in the Jiangnan plant, Xiao Yang is still a little interested in this.

"The keel is already in place, and some of the corresponding components have been put in place, the next step is to start installation, if you are interested, we can go and see it tomorrow." Commander Xie proposed.

"This one does." Xiao Yang nodded and asked another question of his interest, "I'm curious, which fleet will this aircraft carrier serve in after it is completed?" ”

Commander Xie listened to his question, but he muttered for a moment, "Recently, there have been some moves in the navy, and I guess it has something to do with this aircraft carrier." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Yang suddenly became curious, what actions are related to this aircraft carrier that is still under construction? "Something convenient."

"There's nothing inconvenient, it's just my personal speculation." Commander Xie shook his head, "Recently, the military has increased the order for several destroyers, and with the newly built ships in recent years, it has now exceeded the size of the two fleets, and I think it is possible to form a North Sea Fleet." ”

The North Sea Fleet?

The East China Sea Fleet's current scope of activities is relatively large, from the north of the Taiwan Strait to the northernmost part of the territorial waters, and although a large area of sea at the northern end can be regarded as an inland sea, there are the South Peninsula and island countries in the northeast, and these two countries are hostile to China, so it can be said that the task of the East China Sea Fleet is still very heavy, and if a North Sea Fleet is added, it can share the tasks of the East China Sea Fleet, and besides, this will allow the troops to move more flexibly.

It's possible. Xiao Yang thought to himself.

"If that's the case, it's also good for the navy, and the East China Sea Fleet is indeed a bit more responsible now. Three fleets and three flight formations, which is very good. ”

Commander Xie nodded slightly, "The formation of the North Sea Fleet will definitely be beneficial to the East China Sea Fleet, no, it should be the right one."

At present, our navy is not strong, and the island countries in the northeast are always making waves, and the establishment of a new fleet is more conducive to task division and focus......"

……

The two didn't talk for too long, at nine o'clock, Commander Xie went back to his room, saying that he wanted Xiao Yang to rest early, Xiao Yang didn't care about himself, but Commander Xie was different from him, not as young as him, in order to take care of the old general, Xiao Yang didn't refuse.

After washing up, I made a phone call with Zhao Nan, and learned that they were doing something "bonfire tea party" at this time, so I didn't bother them, and after talking to the two little guys for a while, I hung up the phone and rested early.

He got up early the next morning, ran around the Jiangnan factory as usual for a while, and when he returned to the guest house, Commander Xie happened to go out and walked to his room.

"You haven't left it yet, yes, the old man can't compare with you, and he can't do it after just going out for ten minutes." Seeing the sweat on his body, Commander Xie couldn't help but sigh, he knew Xiao Yang's worth very well, and it was really commendable that such a person could still maintain his previous habits.

Although the temperature was not high, Xiao Yang was still sweating from the high-speed running, and he seemed to know that Commander Xie was asking him to go to breakfast together, he motioned for himself to wash up first, opened the door and let Commander Xie go in and sit down, "...... It's been like this since I was a teenager.,I'm really not used to losing it now.,Besides.,Maybe I'll save my life when I'm going to do it.,So I can't lose it.,Can't lose it.。 ”

Commander Xie sat down on the sofa in the room and motioned for him to hurry up and take a bath, but he sighed in his heart, the navy and the army are more dangerous, but compared to Xiao Yang, the environment they are in can be said to be completely comfortable.

A person's success is really no fluke, and in places that outsiders can't see, these people don't know how much sweat they have paid.

It couldn't be more cooked, Xiao Yang was not polite, he went into the room and took his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a bath, only some sweat on his body, just rinse it briefly, in less than ten minutes, he washed it out, wiped his hair, and went downstairs with Commander Xie to have breakfast.

There is a restaurant on the first floor of the guest house, and the two of them are not ready to go anywhere else, but as soon as they get downstairs, they meet Director Zhang and go upstairs.

"It's a bit of a delay." Seeing the two of them, Director Zhang hurriedly said.

Xiao Yang and the others didn't think about it at all, Jiangnan Factory is a huge factory, as the factory director, there must be a lot of things, and they didn't expect to come over to have breakfast with them.

"I thought you should be busy, so I'm going to go with Yangzi, if you have something to do, I'll greet Yangzi here." Commander Xie waved at him.

The supply ship will be launched tomorrow, there are a lot of people watching the ceremony, Director Zhang is really busy at this time, if it is just Commander Xie, he will not come over this morning, not to say the identity of Commander Xie, but the relationship between the two does not need to be so polite, the reason why he came here is completely to not snub Xiao Yang.

Listening to Commander Xie's unkind words, he hesitated for a moment, but finally did not leave.

However, his expression at that moment couldn't escape Xiao Yang's eyes, and he smiled and said: "Director Zhang, you can just go and get busy with you, I am an old acquaintance of General Xie, I have already contacted the Jiangnan Factory, and I will reply tomorrow if I am fast." ”

He knew Director Zhang's thoughts, and he was afraid that he would be in matters because he felt neglected

Not seriously, saying that he has been contacted is completely reassuring to him.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Director Zhang no longer insisted, "Then I won't be polite to you, where do you want to go and tell Lao Xie that is, anyway, this place is no different from his fleet, there is no place that can't go, I'm really sorry today, there are really a lot of things at hand, and I'm lazy." ”

"There's nothing to be afraid of, I don't like to be polite to people, you just have something to do."

Seeing this, Director Zhang didn't say much, said that they would eat together at noon, and then turned around and left to be busy with his affairs.

Commander Xie was really not much different from his South China Sea fleet in the Jiangnan Factory, took Xiao Yang into the restaurant, and recommended a few kinds of food to Xiao Yang, and at a glance, he knew that he had been here many times.

The cuisine of Jiangnan Province has always been exquisite, especially for breakfast, with a variety of patterns, Xiao Yang has been here a few times, and once again he still sighed in his heart, if you want to talk about eating in China, there is really no province that is better than Jiangnan.

After eating an exquisite and delicious breakfast, the two walked around the Jiangnan factory, the weather was a little gloomy, as if it was going to rain, and after walking for a while, Xiao Yang decided to take a look at the aircraft carrier under construction at the suggestion of Commander Xie.

In order to keep the aircraft carrier assembled in the dry dock, the Jiangnan factory also deliberately spent a huge amount of money to build the largest indoor dry dock in China, followed Commander Xie to the dock, and did not even inspect, the sentry recognized Commander Xie from afar, opened the door without even asking, and notified the people inside to come out to receive.

Entering the dock, Xiao Yang's first feeling was that it was big, more than a hundred meters wide, hundreds of meters long, forty or fifty meters high, and there was no support point on the ground in the entire space, and the place where they came in was not the ground, but out of a place similar to a high platform in mid-air, it seemed that half of the dock was built under the ground, and looking forward, the people below were the size of matchboxes.

It was the first time he had seen such a large dock, and he couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.

"That's big enough." After a long time, he sighed.

"It took a lot of work to build this dock in the first place." Commander Xie also sighed with emotion, "At the beginning, there was no such technology in China, and Western countries were unwilling to take over our projects, nor were they willing to sell related technologies, and later this kind of technology was developed in China, but the materials did not meet the standards, anyway, it took a lot of effort to build this dock." ”

Xiao Yang doesn't understand architecture, but you also know how difficult it is to have such a large space without any ground support at the technical level, to say that the gap between China and Western countries such as the United States, in fact, many places can feel it, but at this time he naturally won't say these disappointing words, it's just that the country has developed late for so many years, and it is very good to have today's development, and it will catch up step by step, and one day it will catch up.

"There are two if there is one, at least there will be no need for this kind of demand in the future."

"Well, too." Saying this, Commander Xie was in a good mood again, pointed to the huge keel below and some workers who were working, and said with some excitement: "Don't say it's too early, let's just say that ten years ago, how could we have thought that our country could build aircraft carriers by itself, and they were one after another?" There will inevitably be a course in the development of the country, and if we give it another thirty or fifty years, maybe we will be at the forefront of the world. ”
