Chapter 1722: Changes in National Defense Policy

In the future shipbuilding base in Basra, countless colorful flags are flying in the wind, and countless people flow through specific passages and enter the coastal passage of the shipyard.

Surrounding the huge circular bay, there are surging crowds.

Today is also a very important day for every family member of the employees in the shipbuilding base. There are a lot of snack and drink stalls at a unified price. The income of these ten days is almost equal to half a year's income. Additional benefits for each shipbuilding base dependent.

At this moment, in the calm bay, on the vast sea area, there are only dozens of barges on standby, and there is not a single warship in sight in the huge bay.

In this bay, the trench has been cleaned up three months ago to ensure the follow-up work after the launch of the super aircraft carrier. In Cai Ruichen's words, no mistakes should be made in any link.

After all, this is not a natural deep-water harbor, and the annual dredging work is very important.

Every time a large warship is launched, it is necessary to ensure the depth of the waterway in the bay, especially in the fixed waterway of large ships, smooth flow is the most basic guarantee.

It was approaching ten o'clock in the morning, and the millions of spectators who came to the scene filled up the surrounding area of ​​the bay.

In fact, with such a huge bay, it is difficult to see the other side with the naked eye, but the people who come here still enjoy it.

And everyone had binoculars in their hands, and their eyes were all fixed on the row of huge enclosed docks in the middle of the bay.

But everyone who comes here need not worry. For this grand launching ceremony, Future Technology Group has also made full preparations. In the shipbuilding base, it has equipped an augmented reality system that can cover the entire venue.

This system is actually a crack generator. When it is exactly ten o'clock, the entire projection screen will directly cover the entire bay, allowing everyone who arrives at the shipbuilding base to clearly see the moment when the super aircraft carrier is launched.

Even the sound effects will cover every corner of the scene.

At the same time, this grand event will also be broadcast live in the major media in the Middle East Federation. Wireless TV and the Internet have been warming up for several days.

The launch of a super aircraft carrier, unlike other weapons and equipment, Cai Ruichen never thought of keeping a low profile.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the projection screen appeared directly on the bay, which aroused the exclamation of millions of people at the scene. Augmented reality projection technology is no stranger to the whole world, because it has begun to enter many places where people live. .

But the augmented reality projection covering the entire bay was the first time anyone saw it, and everyone was shocked when they saw the extremely clear picture.

In the picture, there is a long red carpet, and a huge motorcade slowly stops in front of the red carpet.

In the convoy, you can see national flags of various colors. As the convoy stopped, the presidents and kings of the member states of the Middle East Federation got off the car at the same time, and many other heads of state who came to watch the ceremony got off together with them.

This time when the super aircraft carrier was launched, many heads of state also came, most of them from African and Asian countries.

The second batch of convoys also slowly stopped at the edge of the red carpet, and Cai Ruichen and the big boss got out of the special car together.

After meeting and shaking hands with the other heads of state who had just arrived, they walked towards the rostrum.

When the super aircraft carrier was launched, Cai Ruichen did not invite outsiders. Except for the big boss, the remaining heads of state were all uninvited. Of course, he did not refuse.

In terms of etiquette, Cai Ruichen was not too enthusiastic. He just asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to entertain him well, and at the same time asked the heads of state of the member states to entertain him. Don't lose your etiquette.

Around the rostrum, a group of navy generals had already been waiting here. Admiral Sha Yiqi, the commander-in-chief of the Red Police Corps, was wearing a brand-new general's uniform, and greeted Cai Ruichen's arrival straightly.

In order to be able to better communicate with foreign troops, Cai Ruichen raised the rank of the Red Police Corps by one level as a whole.

All ordinary heroes are promoted to generals, while superheroes such as Natasha are also generals, but their internal ranks are marshals. This is Cai Ruichen's greatest recognition of Natasha and others.

Once a full-scale war breaks out, Natasha and the others will be promoted to marshal immediately. In peacetime, Cai Ruichen is unwilling to set up the rank of marshal.

This is not because of fear that there will be no military rank to be promoted in the future. The Red Police Corps has never used military rank to distinguish between high and low.

The only purpose of doing this is to make it easier for the Red Police Corps to negotiate with foreign countries.

Especially in cooperation with foreign armies or military exercises, the same naval fleet commander, one is a lieutenant general, and the other is a major general. Although they are not in the same army, they know that they are of the same rank, but they are still very inconsistent.

As the commander-in-chief of the navy, Sha Yiqi naturally has the rank of admiral, and the other original fleet commanders have all been promoted to lieutenant generals, and the captains of aircraft carrier colonels have all been promoted to brigadier generals, and the aides of brigadier generals are also major generals.

Therefore, at the scene, the number of generals of the navy is not too small, and the navy guard of honor is neatly lined up in front of the red carpet in front of the rostrum.

Cai Ruichen led all the distinguished guests to review the naval guard of honor and walked up to the rostrum.

Today's Cai Ruichen is dressed in black formal attire, but black doesn't make him feel mature, that face is still as young as ever, and the years don't seem to have left the slightest trace.

As Cai Ruichen walked towards the rostrum, deafening cheers erupted at the scene. The moment Cai Ruichen arrived, more than 900,000 citizens of the Middle East Federation couldn't help but cheered, and the sound overshadowed all the background of the entire bay Voice.

"Standing here today, there are only two words in my heart - gratification.

I am pleased with the lineup of our navy and the development of our navy. In a few years, we have gone through the time that others have gone through in a century, not only catching up, but even surpassing.

Despite the emergence of the fourth battlefield, the competition for the commanding heights of the earth has become a new focus, but the development of the navy still occupies the largest weight.

The ocean is the foundation of a superpower. The Federal Guard has always put the development of the navy at the forefront of military development. It will not change now and will not change in the future.

Only a strong national defense is the real security. The real honor and mission of our generation of soldiers is to eliminate war, and it is also to keep the enemy out of the country and eliminate war outside the country.

And we're moving from passive defense to active defense..."
