Just when Chang Haonan was in full swing preparing for the production task of the die forging press.

Lu Province, island city.

With a long whistle sounding, led by a pilot ship, three warships with full flags slowly emerged from the early morning mist.

It is not difficult to see from the blue, white and red vertical flags on the mast that this is the French Navy's visiting fleet after a long journey and a dozen previous countries.

The destroyer Jean Barr, the frigate Meiyue and the integrated supply ship USS Durance River.

Several barges, which had already been prepared, quickly sailed over and helped the three warships to berth sideways on the side of the pier.

On the other side corresponding to the three French warships, there are two of the most cutting-edge destroyers of the Chinese Navy, the Ice City and the Island City.

Although the two Type 052 destroyers are slightly inferior to the Jean Barr, which has a certain regional air defense capability, they do not suffer in terms of size.

As for the Durance River, with a displacement of 17,900 tons......

It's really big, but it's not a combat ship after all.

Moreover, in 1996, the Huaxia Navy also commissioned the larger Nanyun 953, also known as the Qinghai Lake supply ship.

Psychologically, there is no loss.

Although this ship is not in the North Sea Fleet, it finally gives everyone a concept of the integrated supply ship, so that it will not be the same as Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

On the shore, several rows of honor guards had also finished lining up, playing military music, and preparing to welcome the visiting ships entering the port.

Vice Admiral Laurie Warjoul, commander of the French fleet, was the first to step down from the Durance River and saluted Vice Admiral Yang Shuyu, the leader of the Chinese side.

Although both sides have the idea of getting closer to each other, after all, there were not many similar foreign visits before this, and there were even a few years ago, so the atmosphere between the two sides when they first met was somewhat stiff.

Fortunately, the Chinese side had sent several groups of officers to the French Naval Academy for further study, but it was not completely out of words, and before the arrival of the visiting fleet, in fact, quite a rich itinerary had been arranged, so the contact between them quickly became natural.

Under normal circumstances, the first itinerary of such an overseas trip is a routine visit to each other's ships by the crews of both sides.

If the level of mutual trust is high enough, such visits can even be made to the bridge, the captain's room, and even the Combat Intelligence Center (CIC).

But if the level of mutual trust is not good, then you can only walk around the surface of the ship, or even the foredeck twice.

Of course, the navies of China and France are not allies, but after all, they are friendly visits, so the non-core areas on the surface of the ships can still be fully opened.

Vice Admiral Vojul stood aboard the destroyer Shima City, looked up and looked around, and then saw a number of extremely familiar equipment.

Of course, this is not surprising, in addition to the power system of the Type 052 ship is imported from the United States, most of the weapons and electronic equipment come from France.

Among them, the 112 ships are basically imported with original equipment, while the 113 ships have been partially replaced by localization.

"Is this a sea rattlesnake?"

Vice Admiral Vojul, who walked along the handrail ladder to the bow B gun position, raised his hand and patted the missile launcher in front of him, and the missile box behind,

The French Navy's armament of the Sea Rattlesnake generally uses 4 rounds on the left and right, and the design of the fire control radar in the middle, which makes Voljoul afraid to confirm it for a while.

"Our model is called the Haihongqi 7 anti-aircraft missile, which, of course, is indeed technically developed from the Haihongzi."

Yang Shuyu next to him explained.

The import of equipment and technology from other countries is a very normal process of army building.

This kind of thing, there is nothing to hide.

If you have to say other people's things as your own, you don't seem confident enough.

"Very beautiful warship."

Wojoul originally wanted to say that the equipment level of the Chinese Navy was yin and yang, but except for anti-aircraft missiles, the antennas of this ship were almost eight or nine points similar to the Rangbal parked dozens of meters away.

Even if the model produced by Huaxia is not as good as the original French version, it is impossible for him to really let the two sides try a few missiles.

In short, no matter what you say, you will have a boomerang stuck in your head.

So I had to give an evaluation that didn't hurt, itch, and couldn't go wrong.

The group chatted all the way, and finally walked from the bow to the stern.

For a 4,500-ton destroyer, the Shimajo's hangar and helicopter deck configuration can be called luxurious.

One of the newly delivered Z-9Cs was fixed outside, while the other was parked inside the hangar with the main rotor folded.

Seeing these two helicopters, Voljoul remembered the joint anti-submarine and search and rescue exercises in a few days.

As the captain of the aircraft carrier Clemenceau, he still has a relatively good understanding of carrier-based aircraft.

Just after going around for half a circle, he saw that this plane should not be the original imported AS565 Panther, but a similar model modified by the Huaxia themselves on the basis of the Dolphin.

The lieutenant general remembers that about a few years ago, someone from Eurocopter once told him that although the shape of the Dolphin helicopter produced by Huaxia is similar to the original cargo, there is a big gap in flight performance and service life, especially the effective output power of the rotor end, which is only about 8 percent of the French cargo.

"It seems that when it's time for the exercise, you can operate it a little bit and make them a little ugly......"

Vojul's brain was racing, and he thought to himself.

Of course, the main purpose of his trip is to get closer after all, so this kind of thing must also have a degree.

At least you can't taunt each other directly, and you can't really make a big deal.

You have to talk about martial arts.

"Maybe we can fly an extended helix joint search route?"

After thinking about it, he finally had a good plan.

The so-called extended spiral submarine search is a standard submarine search flight mode that starts from the initial position and gradually expands the search range to the outer circle.

At that time, as long as the scope and time of the submarine search are slightly extended, you can choose to return when the fuel level in Huaxia cannot hold up first.

This kind of rivalry is not only common between the armies of the two countries, but also in the same army, and it is not excessive in any way.

But the effect is very good, and the most important thing is that the winner is clear, and there is no room for ambiguity.

It's a perfect fit.

……

It's a long paragraph, but the brainstorming is quick.

So much so that when these thoughts had gone around Voljoul's mind, he himself circled the helicopter half a circle.

"Wait...... You guys brought two anti-submarine torpedoes to this helicopter? ”

When Yang Shuyu was on an errand on a warship, the Huaxia Navy did not even have a few ships with missiles, let alone carrier-based helicopters.

After leaving the front line, his work did not involve the construction of naval aviation equipment, so although he also knew something, he was not particularly specialized.

Just if it's a casual question.

"yes, two torpedoes, and hanging sonar."

While answering, I still thought, this helicopter should also be a model that is localized to you French, why are you a French lieutenant general not as clear as me......

In fact, according to the performance calibration of the new Z-9C helicopter by Bingfei Group, you can choose to carry double torpedoes + hanging sonar, or single torpedo + hanging sonar + sonar buoy.

A combat radius of no less than 30 nautical miles can be maintained under both mission loads.

It has exceeded the range of most submarine wire-guided torpedoes, which is considered sufficient.

But the Huaxia Navy does not have sonar buoys at hand at all, so the latter configuration is naturally rarely used.

Wojoul, who knew nothing about it, just nodded quietly.

According to his experience, the AS565, with twin torpedoes and hoisting sonar, then the effective combat radius would not exceed 15 nautical miles, and it would be difficult to even enter the hover.

And this replica model is clearly only going to get worse.

If the Huaxia Navy is ready to participate in the exercise in this way later, then his plan should be quite smooth......

"I'm looking forward to our joint exercise in a few days, and I hope you can put on a wonderful performance."

After returning to the docks, Wojul said to Yang Shuyu.

The latter was a little inexplicable in the face of this sudden sentence, but still responded politely:

"We're looking forward to it too."
