"Today is a special day. The warships we built for African customers are delivered together. This is a reflection of the shipbuilding strength of our Mingzhou Group!"
"Relying on advanced equipment, mature technology, and skilled workers, our shipbuilding cycle has been shortened to two years. Within two years, we can complete the entire delivery process from steel plate cutting to Mingzhou speed. This is Dongfang speed."
speed!"
No country can build ships so fast, not even a destroyer! However, with the continuous use of advanced equipment, Mingzhou Group’s shipbuilding cycle is so short!
In the shipyard, everything from cutting steel plates to cutting, bending and welding is fully automatic. At the same time, during segment welding, the internal equipment is pre-assembled, and many of the assemblies are also performed by automatic equipment.
, countless robotic arms move back and forth, reflecting the beauty of the intelligent era.
As the speed increases, the cost also decreases. Mingzhou Group’s construction cost is the lowest in the world, and no other country’s shipbuilding industry can match it!
Qin Tao's speech quickly spread throughout the world.
U.K.
"They built a 60,000-ton amphibious ship in two years! They also have orders for two 60,000-ton amphibious ships! Their shipbuilding industry is operating at full capacity, but what about us?"
They had their glory days. They built two 65,000-ton Queen-class aircraft carriers, and then nothing happened again!
These two warships are already the last sunset of the empire. Now they are not equipped with carrier-based aircraft and escort warships, but they still want to modify them to give the warships greater combat effectiveness.
"Our aircraft carrier is the strongest. Their aircraft carrier has no combat effectiveness. If it is on the battlefield, we will soon be sent to the bottom of the sea! Humph, when we occupied the world, they were still playing in the mud!"
Unconsciously, the British also began to like to talk about the past, as if this was the only way to make them feel proud and satisfied.
"Yes, we are the most powerful. When our carrier-based aircraft and escort warships are ready, we will go over and sail freely!"
Asan.
The Cochin Shipyard is busy. Although the demonstration work has not been completed, the scaffolding has been erected and the cutting work can start at any time.
"Hmph, two years is nothing special. When our shipyard here is repaired, we can also build our Vishal aircraft carrier in two years!"
"That's right, that one is still an amphibious assault ship. It has no combat effectiveness and is neither fish nor fowl. Our Vishal aircraft carrier is the best in the world!"
USA.
"They are about to deliver another batch of warships, including three aircraft carriers. Damn it, the world is in chaos!" Someone said angrily: "In the future, no matter where our aircraft carriers go, they will encounter aircraft carriers from other countries.
This reminds me of the crazy period before World War I, when all countries were tightening their belts and building battleships."
"Yes, we should prepare another treaty to limit naval arms! If this continues, navies around the world will lose control!"
"Huh, it's out of control." Some people said coldly: "Even if we need to restrict it now, how should we restrict it? What is the proportion?"
During World War I, all countries were constantly competing with each other. Each battleship was bigger and more luxurious than the other, but it also meant terrible expenses. It was an arms race that no one wanted to see.
Therefore, at the 1922 conference in Washington, the five naval powers at the time signed a treaty limiting their respective total tonnage and proportions.
The meeting was a success at that time, and at least it gave all countries a breath of relief. However, that was then, and this is now.
Now we need to sign a treaty, with whom and at what proportion?
The U.S. Navy is still the strongest in the world. If the navies of other countries were taken individually, none of them would be enough to fill their teeth. However, if they were integrated together, they would be enough to give the Americans a headache.
The naval strength in the oil region has greatly increased, so much so that the last time the United States sent the decommissioned Ticonderoga class to the Davidians in order to increase their strength there, they were sunk when they arrived. Although the Yankees were very
Angry, but did not end up personally.
They dare not.
The big dogs have assembled a powerful naval alliance, and the outside world is no longer allowed to interfere in local affairs.
Now, this trend is also happening in Africa. When these warships return, Africa will not let them get involved!
What should they do?
"Damn it, how could the world become like this!"
Of course they don't know that Qin Tao has silently worked hard for more than ten years to create this situation.
At this time, Qin Tao can proudly announce that we are doing this for the sake of world peace!
"We have always believed that the world needs diversity, and that all countries should have the ability to protect themselves. We are also willing to contribute our own strength to enhance the national defense of each country. The world can only be better if it is multi-polar!"
Qin Tao is just a shipbuilder and a group boss, but he can still use his actual actions to make the world a better place!
"Five years ago, we delivered a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier to the Guinean Navy. Unfortunately, it burned down due to various accidents. Now, we have built an aircraft carrier with a larger displacement for the Guinean Navy! We believe that this aircraft carrier will
Can make greater contributions to protecting Guinea and maintaining world peace!"
"The carrier-based aircraft carried on this aircraft carrier also come from our east. There are J-31s that take off and land vertically, and Z-30s that take off and land vertically! Especially the Z-30s, its appearance is a breakthrough in helicopter technology.
Revolution, it not only has the take-off and landing capabilities of a helicopter, but also has the cruising speed of a fixed-wing aircraft! Moreover, we also installed an early warning radar on this tilt-rotor aircraft, making it a modern early warning aircraft! This aircraft can
Used on many types of aircraft carriers.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The British opened their eyes again.
The Orientals have matured the tilt-rotor aircraft and installed an early warning radar on this aircraft. From then on, there is another type of early warning aircraft!
Their British aircraft carriers also need this kind of early warning aircraft. There will be no future relying solely on Sea King.
But, they didn’t!
"Why are the most advanced technologies in the East!" They were very depressed.
"We also welcome navies from all over the world to come and buy!" Qin Tao continued: "We can compare it. The cost of a Queen-class aircraft carrier built in the UK is US$5 billion. If you purchase it from us, it will not only cost
With an aircraft carrier, we can also equip it with carrier-based aircraft! We have always believed that professional matters should be left to professional people, and the UK can completely leave the production of aircraft carriers to us."
"Nonsense, this is simply humiliating us!" Looking at this video, the British were completely angry.
Are you kidding us? The UK is the most powerful and you actually let us place an order to purchase aircraft carriers from you?
However, they think highly of themselves, and Qin Tao is certainly not talking about them alone.
"At the same time, we also call on the U.S. Navy to hand over the construction of your Ford-class aircraft carrier to us. Our quotation is only half of the quotation from your domestic shipyard! At present, we already have a mature 003 aircraft carrier, nuclear reactor technology and electromagnetic catapult technology.
It has matured, and we can definitely help the U.S. Navy fulfill your long-cherished wish."
Faced with this goodwill, the U.S. Navy remained silent.
The United States' own shipbuilding industry has high quotations, long cycle times, and is still difficult to figure out. The USS Ford aircraft carrier is a living example. If it is handed over to the Mingzhou Group...
How is that possible! If it is really handed over to the Mingzhou Group, then on the battlefield, as long as they send an order, the aircraft carriers here will probably have to lie down!
The domestic shipbuilding industry is not up to par. They are also shipbuilding, so why is the gap so big?
After Qin Tao finished saying this with emotion, he went on to the main topic.
"At the same time, for ordinary countries, we recommend amphibious assault ships with a displacement of 20,000 tons, and mainly carrying drones. We can see that drones are playing an increasingly important role on the battlefield. In the future,
The era belongs to drones..."
Qin Tao had not appeared in public for a long time. This time he talked freely for more than half an hour, and then it was the shipowner's representative's turn to speak.
Americo walked onto the stage with excitement on his face.
"The East is our best friend! Over the years, we have deeply realized this! If there were no Eastern friends, then we would be a group of puppets and a group of wretches. But now, we are the masters of the African continent!"
"The future of our Africa will be like the oil region, and our African affairs will be decided by ourselves!"
Representatives from the Rainbow Nation and Algeria also came on stage, and an hour passed.
"Okay, now I declare that the ship delivery ceremony is officially over, let us watch the fleet set sail!"
Woo, woo!
The tallest 076 amphibious assault ship blew its whistle and slowly left the port. Its appearance looked even more spectacular than the Queen class, and its deck also had a certain outward drift. It had a larger deck area than the 075, and it carried many carrier-based aircraft.
There are more. Under the bow of the ship, the previous hull number of 075 is still spray-painted, and the name of Guinea is also written.
The Guinean Navy only has this one aircraft carrier, and it is impossible to have more aircraft carriers, so it is still named after the Guinea.
It does not have an electromagnetic catapult, nor does it have an angled deck. If ordinary people see it, they will definitely regret it. Why not add something? It should be more powerful with increased performance!
In fact, this is a complete lack of understanding of the difference between aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships.
The amphibious assault ship is used to perform amphibious operations, and the carrier-based aircraft on the deck are also used to cover the beachhead attack. It is not the core of the naval formation and is not responsible for the battle for air and sea supremacy.
Therefore, there are many third-rate articles in later generations, which talk endlessly about how powerful the 076 is, what kind of electromagnetic catapult it has, and how many aircraft it can carry, but they never talk about the size of the hangar or the area of the dock. This is a lack of understanding of amphibious assault ships.
The difference from an aircraft carrier.
Of course, for weak countries, amphibious ships are the largest ones and can be used as aircraft carriers. Even if they only carry the J-31A, they can move sideways in their own territory.
Moreover, since the displacement is already in the 60,000-ton level, its deck looks similar to that of the British Queen Class. It will not appear crowded to operate thirty aircraft on the deck at the same time, and the dispatch of aircraft is also very convenient.
Woo, woo!
Two 20,000-ton amphibious ships also came out one after another. These two ships usually carry drones and helicopters. They can also operate the J-31A to take off and land when needed. They are all-rounders. Their roles are
The emergence of Africa means that Africa has two more motherships, which will have a stronger ability to deal with complex situations in the future.
These three warships moved out, and then it was the destroyer's turn.
In order to provide supporting equipment for the 60,000-ton aircraft carrier, the customer also ordered four 052CEs, which are almost identical to the Jubail class of the big dog, with luxurious configurations, and the four-sided phased array can make many people envious.
The British must have the most uncomfortable psychology. They have built aircraft carriers, but they have no money to build destroyers. They have to cut off a few Type 45 destroyers. There are not many in the first place. In the future, their aircraft carrier fleet will be even more lonely, not even as good as Guinea.
.
The Guinean Navy mainly uses this aircraft carrier, paired with four 052s, and a few 054s. The lineup is absolutely luxurious!
This wave of warships sailing out from the Mingzhou Shipyard is enough to harass many middle-sized countries!
However, for a while, it was true that there were not that many crew members. With the level of the sunspots, when operating the AK, it is not the bigger the sight, the greater the power. It is already very good to choose different sights according to different distances. It is absolutely impossible.
Skillfully operate an Aegis battleship.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The most skilled one is definitely the Eastern Navy, but now the Eastern Navy is also making dumplings. Advanced warships are coming one after another. The naval strength is constantly expanding, and personnel shortages are always faced.
, so it is impossible to help operate so many warships back.
Fortunately, the Mingzhou Group has a lot of talents. It sent a group of technical personnel with the ship, plus some old sailors recruited by Vitalia, and some smart sunspots, and they were able to solve the problem of operating the warship.
The formation moved out of the estuary in a mighty manner and came to the sea.
On the Guinea, Americo stood on the island, extremely excited. He was finally on an aircraft carrier again, and he could finally be the boss in Africa again!
"Report, our fleet is coming soon!"
"Get ready to receive the plane!" Americo nodded.
The aircraft have been built, and several of them have undergone takeoff and landing tests and have been put into the hangar. The large fleet is still behind.
Soon, a group of black people flew over the sea.
The first was the stealth J-31A fighter jets painted in navy gray. These fighters landed slowly according to the markings sprayed on the deck, and were then towed to the parking area or hangar in an orderly manner by the deck personnel. The elevators were also constantly busy.
The second batch is Zhi30, among which the two aircraft with triangular radar antennas are the most dazzling. These are tall carrier-based early warning aircraft! With the blessing of advanced technology from the East, tilt-rotor aircraft can also carry early warning radars!
When this aircraft landed, it was immediately dragged into the hangar as if it were a lifeline. Americo stood in the hangar with a smile on his face: "Lady Vitalia, you are welcome to board our warship."
Vitalia is here too! It was not convenient for her to show up directly, so she did not attend the delivery ceremony. Instead, she went to the aircraft factory and followed the planes. At this time, she stood in the hangar and looked at the planes that were being dragged in.
, Vitalia was very satisfied.
"Americo, are you satisfied with this warship?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!" Americo nodded repeatedly: "Ms. Vitalia, this warship is better than the last one! By the way, your room has been prepared for you, you..."
"Don't worry, let's go to the bridge first and watch our plane land, then go to the pilot's preparation room for a meeting. After dark, I will go up to the deck to take a look."
You can't see it during the day, but at night, take advantage of the moonlight to go up to the deck and experience the power of this warship!
"good."
On the bridge, Vitalia looked down, watching the last drone fall, and sighed at the power of Eastern technology. In the future, maybe these aircraft will be drones.
In the pilot preparation room, more than sixty pilots were sitting neatly, and the drone operators were also sitting in a corner, distinguished by different armbands.
They have different skin colors, different eyes, and different hair, but they all have the same belief in their eyes.
Vana is a mercenary, and mercenary soldiers are paid to sell their lives, and pilots are no exception. And if you can get access to the best equipment while working hard, of course it will be even more fun!
Therefore, although there are insufficient manpower to operate warships, there is still no problem with pilots operating aircraft.
There are a total of twenty J-31A aircraft, which require twenty pilots. There are thirty twenty aircraft, each of which requires two pilots. There must be three additional radar officers on the AWACS aircraft. Now everyone can get them together. It is really difficult.
easy.
"We are all the most elite pilots in Vana. We have world-class equipment this time. You should know what this means."
"Yes, we know that it will be more exciting to fly in the future!" Igor Valenchenko, a veteran pilot of the fighter wing, said with a smile: "This plane flies much better than the rabbit I flew before."
Everyone laughed.
Everyone is a mercenary, and they earn money by working hard. Valenchenko once participated in the battle with neighboring Angola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In this conflict known as the Carrot War, he drove an aircraft that had overdue service.
He used the MiG-21MF, which had long since been scrapped, to score three kills, plus many ground attack results.
However, Valenchenko had a bad idea. He drew a rabbit on his tail. Rabbits eat carrots.
Later, because of his superb skills, he was spotted by Vana and joined the Vana mercenary army. He has been working as a pilot. Before, he flew fighter planes smuggled from Damao Ermao. This time he was finally able to fly new ones!
"The key is that the stealth is top-notch. I can't wait to fly it over the heads of Americans and shit on them!" Another old pilot said. Most of them regard Americans as their opponents.
"Then just wait, there will definitely be such an opportunity." Vitalia said.
