Chapter 1845: Crazy Shipbuilding Plan
Based on the powerful opponents he will encounter, Cai Ruichen's development ideas are quite clear.
In view of the fact that the base currently earns more than one billion funds per day, it is impossible to use up just two construction lists.
That's why Cai Ruichen is so crazy about building ships. Seventy percent of the world's area is the ocean. Future operations, the battle for the ocean, will become the focus of victory.
This is why Cai Ruichen has been building ships frantically for more than a year, and even the speed of building ships has exceeded the speed of recruiting soldiers.
The problems faced by other military branches are similar. Under the high-speed construction, all military branches will face the embarrassing situation of lack of soldiers.
However, this kind of problem is actually not difficult to overcome. Now the enthusiasm for joining the army in the Middle East Federation is high. At the beginning of the conscription day every year, at least 10 to 20 million young people sign up, most of them are students from major colleges and universities .
Every year, they are constantly being eliminated, which is different from other countries.
Some countries use money to recruit soldiers, some countries have military service stipulated in the constitution, and some countries rely on voluntary service.
The Middle East Federation can be regarded as a voluntary military service model, but there are too many soldiers recruited every year.
Coupled with Cai Ruichen's principle of excellence, every year when the recruiting day ends, at least half of the people who sign up to join the army must be eliminated, and nine tenths of them will be eliminated through training.
Under such high-intensity training, the special military service culture of the Middle East Federation has also been formally established. This kind of conscription system is extremely rare, and this system is also the envy of the military of all countries.
Under such a principle of striving for excellence, every soldier who can really stay in the army must be a leading soldier. In the words of the outside world, even a soldier in the Middle East Federal Guard and garrison is a sharpshooter .
With such an excellent unit, as long as Cai Ruichen wants to, he can choose a group of excellent soldiers from the garrison at any time to join the Middle East Federal Guard.
In fact, every soldier in the garrison has the goal of joining the Middle East Federal Guard.
It's not that the welfare of the Middle East Federal Guard is better than that of the garrison, but the benefits of the two troops are exactly the same.
Even, the Middle East Federation Guards will participate in the battle at any time, and there are actual battles. It is not an army in peacetime. The soldiers in the garrison actually know this.
But this does not stop the soldiers of the garrison from still being proud to join the guard.
Because the whole world knows that the Middle East Federal Guard is the most powerful army in the world, not only because it has the world's most advanced weapons and equipment, even ultra-modern military equipment, but also because every soldier in the Middle East Federal Guard is a Synonymous with top soldiers, every soldier is outstanding.
All the soldiers who have fought against the Middle East Federation Guards have only two words for the evaluation of the soldiers of the Middle East Federation Guards: terrible.
This is a force that has deeply feared all former enemies, and it is also the undisputed number one in the world today.
The mind controller affects every principality in the Middle East Federation at all times, without Cai Ruichen's guidance, everything will develop in the direction Cai Ruichen most wants to see.
One mind, these four words are a bit outdated to describe the current Middle East Federation. No matter how many people there are in the current Middle East Federation, there is only one will.
This kind of invisible mind control can be described in terms of terror. Now, Cai Ruichen only needs to say a word, and no one in the whole country opposes it.
Even if Cai Ruichen made everyone in the Middle East Federation to commit suicide immediately, then the entire Middle East Federation would never see another living person.
This kind of absolute control over everything is almost equivalent to Cai Ruichen's absolute control over the Red Police Corps. Therefore, the Middle East Federation Garrison is actually a force not inferior to the Red Police Corps.
Cai Ruichen's requirements are very simple. The garrison is strictly required by the standards of the Red Police Corps. Therefore, if soldiers are recruited from the garrison to join the Red Police Corps,
is totally doable.
However, Cai Ruichen did not intend to do this. This involves the operation of weapons and equipment. The mind controller can control the thinking of the people, but it is only thinking and cannot instill knowledge into the people.
Leaving the base console, a group of generals were already waiting for Cai Ruichen in the conference room.
In this meeting room, there are only a few people, all of whom are military commanders.
Admiral Sha Yiqi, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy.
General Zhao Long, commander-in-chief of the army.
General Yi Minhao, Commander-in-Chief of the Missile Force.
General Weiguo, Commander-in-Chief of the Air Force.
General Chao Leizhen, commander-in-chief of the Aerospace Forces.
General Li Bowen, commander-in-chief of the cyber army.
General Du Wenjie, Minister of Logistics.
...
Every general present is a hero of each branch of the Red Police Corps and the highest representative of its branch.
Cai Ruichen, who had just entered the meeting room, greeted everyone, and said directly: "I will try my best to solve the soldiers' problems. I have also read the reports submitted by you. You suggest to recruit excellent soldiers from the garrison. Joining the guard, I basically agree with this point, but the number of places should not be too many, on the basis of ensuring that the combat effectiveness will not decrease, join some soldiers of the guard to deal with the current shortage of guard troops. Now let’s talk about the situation of each department.”
After making a start, Cai Ruichen sat down and waited for all the generals present to report one by one.
As the core service of this discussion, Admiral Sha Yiqi was the first to stand up and said to everyone: "Currently excluding the garrison navy, just the guard navy, there are already eight aircraft carrier battle groups in service. The navy has 12 amphibious fleets, each of which is highly configured and suitable for high-threat battlefields. Coupled with the large number of amphibious armored landing ships belonging to the navy, the total number of warships has exceeded 800. Now, there is one More than 150 warships are docking in the military port, facing the embarrassing situation of no soldiers to operate, and the huge amphibious battle group is also due to the lack of soldiers, so that the establishment of the Marine Corps has never been perfect. Currently, the Marine Corps There are only 180,000 people, and there is at least 320,000 people short of achieving full combat capability."
The navy's problem has been around for a long time, and everyone present knows this, but when they heard that the Marine Corps alone has a shortfall of 320,000, the generals of other military services present were all a little surprised.
"But General Sha, the size of the navy has already caught up with the army, and is almost on par with the army. Why is it so much smaller?" Zhao Long, the commander-in-chief of the army, asked in puzzlement.
Sha Yiqi said very seriously: "General Zhao, the 320,000 yuan I said is just a preliminary figure, not to mention the eight super aircraft carriers still under construction in the shipyard, and more than 200 supporting warships, even if Among the warships in active service in the navy, in order to meet the global delivery needs of the heavy corps, in addition to the fleet of twelve amphibious assault ships in the navy, there are also a large number of armored landing ships. , that's about the same."
If the problem hadn't become more and more serious, Sha Yiqi would not have rushed to find Cai Ruichen, and must solve this problem.
Only then did all the generals at the scene truly understand the dilemma the navy is currently facing in its development.
An amphibious combat fleet is equipped with a complete marine division as standard, and the Marine Corps of the Red Police Corps is a heavy division-level organization.
Although there is a gap between the force structure of a marine division and a heavy armored division of the army, from the perspective of equipment, they are similar.
The establishment of a marine division is more than 21,700 people, which can meet the needs of such a powerful amphibious formation.
In the amphibious formation, there are eight professional armored landing ships for transporting tanks.
If it was just these amphibious warships in active service, then Sha Yiqi would never say such a huge number of 320,000.
In fact, the figure of 320,000 has a source, and it is also the core plan of Cai Ruichen's navy development, to build a super navy with 20 super aircraft carriers, 4 floating island fortresses, and 40 amphibious assault formations.
For a navy of this size, eight aircraft carriers have been completed, and another eight are under construction. Three floating island fortresses have been completed, and the fourth is also under construction. The amphibious formation has completed twelve, limited to Among the warships in the military port, there are still eight amphibious formations without soldiers available.
If you count the forty amphibious formations in the entire plan, the Marine Corps alone lacks not only 320,000 people, but 820,000 people.
One million marines, this is Cai Ruichen's minimum requirement for the Red Police Corps. The marines can undertake battles on islands at sea and on land, and can be used in any soldier's battlefield.
It is a comprehensive land and sea force that must have super combat capabilities.
In the future, the size of the amphibious combat force alone will reach an astonishing 1,500 ships. Therefore, the size of the Red Police Corps navy is only a process of development, and it is far from over. The ultra-high-speed shipbuilding mode, Will last until the final enemy is defeated, or the funding sources are all destroyed.
Funding is not a problem for the current development of the Red Police Corps. With the base's daily income of one billion yuan, if it is just to build the navy, it will not be a problem to build a hundred super battle groups in that year.
There are thousands of enterprises in the Middle East Federation serving the military field, not just the Future Technology Group, but more than ten million workers and technicians serving the military field.
The rear was stable, but the development of the Red Police Corps obviously couldn't keep up. Without Sha Yiqi saying it, Cai Ruichen knew it very well.
"Starting in the second half of the year, the size of the garrison will be fully expanded. I can issue the highest military order to select a group of outstanding soldiers from the garrison to join the guard. Sha Yiqi, just say, you need How much?" Cai Ruichen said slowly.
"Under the allowed circumstances, combined with the actual combat level of the Navy and Marine Corps, I need at least 100,000 people." Sha Yiqi thought about it and said.
"I only give you 50,000 people, and you have to distribute the 50,000 people reasonably. I know that you have been inspecting the training and quality of soldiers in the garrison for the past six months, so I gave you 50,000 people." Cai Ruichen said. .
One hundred thousand fell to fifty thousand in one fell swoop, and Sha Yiqi could only fight further: "Commander, the quality of soldiers in the garrison has already surpassed that of ordinary soldiers in the garrison, and the excellent soldiers in the garrison are no less than those in the garrison." Veterans, although they are still a little worse than the elites in the Guard, but selecting one hundred thousand veterans who are no less than the guards and joining the Marine Corps will not have a big impact on the combat level of the Marine Corps."
"I understand your mood and your anxiety, but I can tell you." Cai Ruichen waved Sha Yiqi to sit down, and continued: "The original naval shipbuilding and development plan is somewhat outdated. This time When I come back, I will also readjust the development goals and plans of the navy, and the future navy will be far stronger than previously planned."
"Please tell the commander."
"The original naval plan cannot adapt to future wars, because our enemy is much stronger than we imagined. Twenty super aircraft carrier battle groups and thirteen heavy aircraft carriers do not have the advantage over the enemy, so I decided to continue to expand the scale of shipbuilding, and the Marine Corps is also within the scope of the expansion plan. As for the soldiers, you can rest assured that if there is a new plan, there will be a solution." Cai Ruichen said seriously.
The original shipbuilding plan was drawn up by Cai Ruichen before. This time, he followed Li Lan to meet Chen Shao. From Chen Shao's story, Cai Ruichen had a general understanding of the enemy.
A teleportation includes 20 aircraft carrier battle groups, and dozens of amphibious battle groups. The size of the navy that arrived in an instant teleportation, plus the number of marines, has exceeded one million.
Such a huge force can easily destroy the United States, even if it is the Red Police Corps, it is difficult to contend against such a powerful opponent at sea.
The most important thing is that the enemy's huge force was transmitted at one time, and the fleet was continuously transmitted to the battlefield later. If this kind of power comes to this world now, the entire ocean will be ruled by the enemy.
All sea lines of communication will be cut off, and all coastal countries around the world will be targeted at any time, even the Middle East Federation will not be spared.
Keeping the enemy out of the country is the most fundamental security guarantee for a big country, and the Middle East Federation is no exception.
With the existence of the base, Cai Ruichen is not worried that the enemy will directly use hyperspace teleportation to approach the territory of the Federation, so sea defense is the top priority.
If there is no defense in the sea, the country will have no defense. Once such a situation really occurs, the Red Police Corps will be completely passive in this war.
Now, with the upcoming role of nine special base vehicles, Cai Ruichen is also determined to build a super navy that can truly resist the enemy in the ocean.
