Chapter 1725: The Navy’s Five-Year Plan
The grand launch ceremony of the super aircraft carrier caused a global sensation, which could not be subdued for a long time.
In the next month, almost all the news about the super aircraft carrier in the world was mixed with a lot of news about the First Fleet of the Middle East Federal Guard Navy.
The First Fleet of the Middle East Federation Navy is the first fleet that Cai Ruichen set out to establish with foreign combat capabilities. It was established when the first aircraft carrier was launched that year, and it was also under the attention of everyone.
As a matter of course, the First Fleet has almost become the first impression of the Middle East Federation Navy. This time, the brand new super aircraft carrier and new ship types at all levels have replaced the original warships of the First Fleet, and all the officers and soldiers of the First Fleet, is not changed.
The military spirit of the First Fleet still exists, and its combat effectiveness is still the most powerful in the entire Middle East Federation Navy. It has also been established for the longest time and has the most perfect configuration. It is enough to be called the most powerful fleet in the world.
Unlike the U.S. saving military expenses, the First Fleet has always appeared in the eyes of the world with the strongest posture. Whether it is performing training or other tasks, the warships have never been absent.
A super aircraft carrier, three submarines, two Aegis ships, and two multi-purpose destroyers, and four sea scorpions, plus now there are more new members, two brand new dreadnoughts, and logistics and supply staff. Ships, the size of the entire fleet, have become more complete.
At the same time, this is also the minimum configuration of the First Fleet. Once more dangerous missions are required, more warships will be added. If a landing battle is required, the First Amphibious Formation will be incorporated into the First Fleet.
The establishment of the Red Police Navy is like this. In addition to the aircraft carrier formation of the First Fleet, an amphibious strike formation that is free outside also belongs to the First Fleet in terms of system.
The same is true for other fleets. In the future, each fleet will be equipped with not just one amphibious strike formation, but two amphibious strike formations. The size of the entire fleet will exceed any fleet in the world.
According to Cai Ruichen's plan, within the next five years, at least ten such fleets will be needed, and a certain amount of equipment reserves must be carried out. Even when necessary in the future, the six aircraft carrier battle groups of the garrison will also directly Participate in foreign warfare.
At that time, there will be sixteen aircraft carriers available, and this is only the minimum requirement.
It's not that Cai Ruichen has no idea to develop the navy quickly, but that the development cost of the navy is getting higher and higher. Unless it is a space mining plan that can bring more benefits than expected, otherwise the base funds will be inclined to the navy. It needs to be squeezed out slowly like squeezing toothpaste.
Take the current First Fleet as an example,
The total cost of warships alone has already exceeded 500 million. In addition to personnel and equipment, training costs, weapons and ammunition consumption, and at least one billion base funds, the annual maintenance and high-intensity training costs add up. It also needs to consume 200 million funds.
It is true that the navy is a big money burner. This is the consumption data obtained under the cheapest calculation formula in the base mode.
In addition, the Air Force, Army Missile Troops and Aerospace Troops, as well as all kinds of infrastructure in the Middle East Federation, even if Cai Ruichen is given 100 million funds a day, it is not enough at present.
What's more, the daily stable capital income of the base is a little over 50 million, which is the result of mining around the world. In order to hide the resources on the earth as much as possible, Cai Ruichen can only use the current income value To maintain as much as possible, the future sources of funding will mainly be placed in space.
The ultra-ambitious mining of the universe is entirely a move that has to be taken because the resources on the earth have been unable to meet the demand.
Now, Cai Ruichen's plan is to increase the daily capital income as much as possible to a stable income of 100 million yuan per day, so as to meet the current development needs in the next few years.
The stable capital income does not include the purchased minerals. It refers to the self-exploitation of minerals with a large amount of minerals. If a large amount of imported minerals are included, the daily capital income will be even more.
However, Cai Ruichen has never counted this kind of imported minerals into his stable capital income. After falling out with NATO, he can no longer get minerals from Australia. South American countries are also limited by the pressure of the Western world, and they are only willing to maintain the previous ones every year. The number of mineral transactions.
Only the vast Milky Way is the best reliance for the Red Police Corps in the future. Various interests on the earth are intertwined, and it is difficult to obtain comprehensive protection.
If the process of cosmic mining can be accelerated and stabilized in the next few years, Cai Ruichen is confident that it will not take two years. With the current rapid development speed, it can be fully improved again.
In fact, the current development of the Red Police Corps can already be described as terrifying. Ten aircraft carrier battle groups are placed on other countries. It is unthinkable, but Cai Ruichen plans to complete it within a few years. Which country is this at present? Can't do it.
What's more, while developing the navy, other arms are also developing in an all-round way. This is quite an astonishing speed. I am afraid that Cai Ruichen is the only one in the world who thinks that this kind of development is still too slow.
However, if it is placed in Cai Ruichen's position, I am afraid that everyone will feel this way, especially after the Huameixue incident, Cai Ruichen also completely put away his relaxed mood, and devoted himself fully to his career and the development of the Red Police Corps. After the overall development led by him, the efficiency of the entire base has also been improved in an all-round way.
All preparations and plans were carried out in an orderly manner.
The First Fleet is just a small microcosm of the development of the entire Red Police Corps, and half a year later, the Second Fleet will follow the First Fleet and undergo a radical change.
A brand new fleet is formed in half a year, a complete brigade-level combat force is formed in a month, and a brand-new air force wing of the air force is formed in a month. Nearly 500 red police soldiers are recruited every day. of growth.
The various effects brought about by this speed are very obvious, and directly affect the development efficiency of the garrison troops. The high-demand elimination system is like washing sand, only the best soldiers are needed.
Otherwise, Cai Ruichen would not dare to casually hand over a heavy aircraft carrier battle group to the garrison troops, even if it is a heavy aircraft carrier relegated to the second line, it is also an existence that is envied by the world.
And when the First Fleet of the Middle East Federal Guard was making a fuss, a bigger news quickly diverted most of the attention.
