Of course, Chang Haonan did not disclose this kind of grand ambition to anyone, including Du Yishan.

First, the disbandment of the two departments of mechanical metallurgy was actually a very hasty decision, and in 1997 this meeting had not been written, and he certainly could not say it directly.

Second, Chang Haonan's own influence is still mainly within the Commission of Science and Technology, and now he is going around saying how to deal with other departments at the same level, and there is always a feeling of meddling in other people's housework.

Although he actually just wanted to meddle-

It is a pity that the two ministries and commissions were directly dissolved, but the original situation does not meet the requirements of the times.

Therefore, the best way is actually to build the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in advance, and integrate the functions of the Ministry of Machinery Industry, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, the Ministry of Electronics Industry, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications, and even the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

It can't be done overnight, so do it gradually.

But this thing can't be said in advance, otherwise it will inevitably be thought that it is trying to manipulate the Science and Technology Commission to annex brother units and make a monopoly.

The impact is too bad.

It is more efficient to do it silently.

Yan Yongnian next to him naturally didn't know Chang Haonan's true thoughts, but this project was originally to focus on the latter, and others were willing to play with the power of the Ministry of Machinery Industry.

"Let's see the moves, and the times are different after all, so there's no need to be so pessimistic."

Chang Haonan replied as usual,

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to work with, Professor Yan."

The two shook hands and exchanged contact information, and then prepared to say goodbye to Shen Yiqing.

Before leaving, the latter brought them some bacon dried at home as a gift in return.

Waiting for the other party's bag, Chang Haonan noticed a piece of news in the newspaper-

A British fleet passed through the Suez Canal, planning visits to a range of South and Southeast Asian countries.

He glanced at the date of the newspaper again.

More than half a month ago.

And today is June 20th.

This reminded Chang Haonan of the origin of this British fleet.

Wave 97 task force.

The same exists in the original timeline.

Chang Haonan can't remember exactly which ships were inside, but he still remembered that this should be the largest single fleet cobbled together by the Royal Navy after World War II.

It's even bigger than the one sent out to the Falklands in 1982.

In the original timeline, the Huaxia Navy really did not have the ability to intervene in the main part of the fleet more than a thousand kilometers away, but only sent a frigate to stop the attempt of two of the ships to rush into the waters near HK on the night of June 30.

It's a tie.

Both sides felt that this matter didn't seem to be too long-faced, so they chose to deal with it in a low-key manner for a long time.

Now, however, although the contents of this newspaper do not directly criticize the British as provoking, those who know the knowledge can still see some clues from it.

In short, it is thorny in the cotton.

After returning home, Chang Haonan specially flipped out the newspapers he had saved in recent days.

Sure enough, I found a follow-up from the day before yesterday.

The fleet has passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the waters near Annam.

It will also conduct a joint exercise with the Annan Navy.

Compared to the newspaper used to wrap bacon, the wording on it has been much harsher.

In fact, Chang Haonan estimates that if you change the country, the time, and the form, this matter is estimated to be handled in a low-key manner.

But "the British went to the surrounding waters in June with nearly 40 ships to make trouble."

Basically, it is all the thunder points of China Xiaxia.

Because the war of 1840 was fought in the same way.

Thanks to Chang Haonan's efforts, the equipment level of the Huaxia army has improved to a certain extent compared with this point in time in the previous life, but judging from the map, the exercise area chosen by the other side is not close to the mainland of China, and it is almost 1,500 kilometers from the mainland.

For the Chinese army in this era, it is indeed a bit beyond the reach of the whip.

After all, the combat radius of the aircraft is not directly cut in half, counting the necessary consumption during the mission, and if you leave some margin, you can have one-third to one-quarter.

As for the surface ship forces......

It can only be said that the influence brought by Chang Haonan has not yet radiated to them for the time being.

So referring to the situation in the previous life, I am afraid it is not optimistic.

He suddenly wondered what would happen in the next 10 days.

……

It can only be said that although Chang Haonan's secret level in the military industrial system is very high, he is not a soldier after all, and it is impossible for him to understand many internal situations in the army in real time.

For example, the Air Force has rushed the introduction of two Il-78 tankers, and has also been training with relevant units of naval aviation in Qingtang Province for more than a month.

In the next few days, this mixed aviation unit, which was temporarily formed for this purpose, was secretly transferred from the northwestern Gobi to Lingshui Airport in Qiong Province, the southernmost part of the motherland, in batches.

Together with the naval surface ship units, which also participated in the embankment operation, they will teach the self-righteous British an unforgettable lesson.

June 23 at 7 a.m.

The two warships set sail in the faint morning fog and left the port of Zhanjiang with the assistance of barges.

They are the Type 051D destroyer Jingjiang and the Type 053H frigate Rongzhou.

899196604091904/10013529/b3ae9bd921af79aaab590001816c7851rnS7sObp809d9B1.jpg“>

If only from the perspective of combat effectiveness, this drive and one protection are naturally no match for one aircraft carrier in the Wave 97 fleet plus two drives and three protection.

In fact, the combined displacement of these two ships is just over 5000 tons, which is not much larger than a Type 22 frigate.

But at this critical time, no matter how big the disadvantage is, there is absolutely no reason to back down.

What's more, before setting off, they had already received clear information that this mission would be covered by their own aviation units.

This is unprecedented in history.

With the past voyage of shore-based air forces, it is basically impossible to bring any effective support, and at most they will fly around and turn around and it will be time to return home.

However, this time, the higher authorities specially arranged for all the commanders and fighters participating in the mission to visit the Lingshui Airport in Qiong Province.

The people of the surface ship unit, although they do not know much about aircraft, can still see the size.

At a glance, the dozen or so fighters and fighter-bombers are much larger than the J-7 or Qiang-5 that were common in past exercises.

And according to the comrades who accompanied the visit, these planes can also be refueled during the flight, so they can fly to the predetermined mission area 1,500 kilometers away and stay there for about half an hour.

Half an hour, although it doesn't sound like a long time, is enough to do a lot of things.

Especially some veteran commanders and fighters, some of the maritime conflicts they have participated in, the really fierce part from beginning to end is generally about the same time.

"Finally, I don't have to worry about those Su-22s in Annan anymore......"

This is the first thought in the hearts of many people.

At the end of the visit, two large tankers almost 5 stories high were completely beyond the imagination of many people.

Although the People's Navy has always faced a situation in which the enemy is strong and weak since its establishment, it will not be afraid of anything now.

But it's better to be able to build confidence in all directions before you go.
