Chapter 293 The Situation Is Unfavorable and Donghuang Gives In
Everyone felt that their eyes suddenly lit up, and their minds were completely opened.
"That makes sense."
"As long as the Haruna-class aircraft carrier is in our hands, there is no way to significantly improve the navy's combat effectiveness in a short period of time. Instead, it will disrupt our three-step strategy, which is really not worth the loss."
"Dingping, I didn't expect you to be so clear-headed. Thanks to your reminder, otherwise we old guys would make mistakes."
"Then just sell it and make some money."
Qian Wenbing was straightforward and looked at Su Dingping with admiration, and spoke first.
"I agree with Dingping's opinion. It is better to sell it than to keep it useless. We can recover military funds, vigorously develop naval infrastructure, and temporarily avoid conflicts with the Eagle Tribe. We can buy more time for the development of our navy. Why not do it?"
"Our navy is upgrading and replacing. Some old warships are indeed not in service for a long time. They can be upgraded and renovated and then sold in packages to make a profit."
"Commander, I think the strategy formulated by Dingping has taken into account the development of our navy in all aspects."
Xu Dongguo also took over the conversation and praised Su Dingping, not hiding his love at all.
When the army and air force leaders were planning to take Su Dingping, he almost had a dream. The navy has not been able to get such a top strategic-level scientific master. If he takes him away, wouldn't it be the end of his life?
"Commander, I also think that Dingping's idea is most in line with our current national conditions."
"It is very worthy of adoption, and it also gives me hope for our navy to go to the ocean. We cannot mess up our own military construction strategy for a captured light aircraft carrier."
Xiao Chongjun also clearly expressed his support for Su Dingping. He felt that his mind was suddenly opened up, that is, to unswervingly follow his established path of military construction.
The ambition of the Longxia Navy is definitely not something that can be supported by a light aircraft carrier.
At the very least, it should start with a medium-sized aircraft carrier such as the Varyag, and then gradually expand to a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, becoming an absolutely not to be ignored maritime force on the Blue Star.
However, everyone also understood the most important point, that is, the Longxia Navy will sooner or later confront the Eagle Tribe, but it is obviously not the time yet.
The more they talked, the more excited they became, and the more they talked, the clearer they became.
A light aircraft carrier, plus those warships sold together, is definitely not a small amount.
The navy thus received a considerable amount of extra military expenditure.
"Dingping's idea is very good, so let's do it."
"We won't keep any aircraft carriers or Kongo-class missile destroyers, but will sell them all on the international arms market."
Liu Huaming immediately made the decision. Even though he was a cunning man, he was very happy at the moment. After the matter was finalized, the stone in his heart fell.
"But I have a question, who will they sell it to?"
Liu Huaming then asked, there are not many tribes on Blue Star that dare to offend the Eagle Tribe.
If they are sold to the White Bear Tribe, they will definitely not be able to sell at a high price.
Moreover, they are too close to Longxia. If they are deployed in the eastern region, they may cause considerable pressure on Longxia's coastal defense security. They are not good sales targets.
"The central region is very generous there."
Su Dingping said with a smile, pointing to the middle part of such a large piece of land on the map.
Now the central region is suppressed by the Eagle Tribe, but it has to rely on the oil they produce. Under such circumstances,
"Dingping sees things clearly."
Liu Huaming's eyes turned cold after hearing this. The central region really has this demand.
"Last time, Zhang Zhaoxin was in charge of the trade with the Tesha tribe, right? Send him this time, and also send Secretary Zhao who was in charge of external procurement last time."
"This matter should be implemented as soon as possible. It is best to finalize it before the Eagle tribe has any reaction."
"To avoid more trouble, start implementing it after you go down."
"Dongguo will be in charge of the domestic affairs. Try to meet their needs as much as possible."
In today's world, military trade has never been a simple military trade relationship, but an extension of relations between countries. The relationship between the Longxia tribe and the Tesha tribe has always been good.
The Tesha tribe has a strong demand for weapons in this regard, especially in the navy.
"Yes, chief."
"I'll ask them to leave overnight."
Xu Dongguo immediately took the order. Before the meeting was over, he went out to make arrangements.
Previously, several 051Cs were purchased from Tesha Tribe, and all of them were handled by Zhang Zhaoxin and other naval foreign military trade departments. Zhang Zhaoxin has now been appointed as the head of the military trade office, and such an important task naturally falls on his head.
Moreover, Zhang Zhaoxin still has some connections in the central region, so letting him go is like an old horse who knows the way and is familiar with it, and he doesn't have to worry too much.
After receiving the order, Secretary Zhao took a flight to Tesha Tribe in the central region overnight.
Zhang Zhaoxin stayed in China, remotely commanded military trade, and was stationed in the base to implement the other party's needs.
After the matter was basically settled, Su Dingping did not rest, but chose to return to the aircraft carrier.
The fate of the Haruna-class light aircraft carrier and the Kongo-class missile destroyer has been determined, and there will be no changes. Therefore, it is necessary to crack the relevant core technology as soon as possible before the sale, and all performance data must be recorded one by one.
Even a broken ship has three pounds of iron. Su Dingping decided to maximize the role of the Haruna-class light aircraft carrier for the Longxia Navy, which is of great significance to the continued construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier.
As for the Kongo-class missile destroyer, while being able to provide relevant technical data, it can also play the role of its imaginary enemy's warship.
According to various information, the Kongo-class was developed on the basis of the Burke II.
The Burke II missile destroyer is the future of the Eagle Tribe. It will continue to improve and develop the Burke III and Burke IV, and will continue to upgrade and transform.
But the root can't be changed. As long as it is studied thoroughly, the performance data of the main battleships of the Eagle Tribe Navy will be mastered by the Longxia Navy in the future. This is of vital importance to the powerful opponents that the Longxia Navy will face in the future.
At the same time, in the East Wilderness Tribe, Kyoto, the meeting hall of the cabinet meeting.
General Murashita Hayaki, the highest commander of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, arrived here early, hoping to clarify some things for the East Wilderness Maritime Self-Defense Force, and to explain that it is definitely not that the East Wilderness Maritime Self-Defense Force is useless, but that God has abandoned them.
It is not their fault that they were defeated, but that God did not help.
They have always been favored by Amaterasu, but this time they were not.
His face was extremely pale, which showed that he was extremely cold and suppressed his anger.
The bold words he swore in front of so many cabinet members before became a series of cold and ruthless slaps on his old face.
He could feel the strange eyes from the cabinet members, as if they wanted to eat him alive.
That feeling made him very unhappy, but he had to suppress his anger.
"Didn't someone say before that they would reorganize the Maritime Self-Defense Force when they returned, and must improve combat effectiveness and revitalize the strongest maritime force in the East China Sea? Why are they silent today? Where did the powerful Maritime Self-Defense Force go?"
Suddenly at this time, a cabinet member stood up and sneered at Murashita Hayaki, leaving him no mercy at all.
"Baga, General Hayaki Murashita, you are really unexpected. The No. 1 East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force in the East Sea was destroyed in your hands. Aren't you ashamed?"
"Hayaki Murashita, tell me, the Maritime Self-Defense Force has been established for decades. Have you ever seen it lose so miserably? They have already placed warships at our doorstep. What do you think?"
"In my opinion, Hayaki Murashita is no longer suitable to be a general. He should commit seppuku to thank the East Desert Tribe. He is even more of a sinner of the East Desert Tribe!"
The cabinet member was like a fuse, igniting the anger of the cabinet members at once.
Hayaki Murashita, who was sitting there, said nothing and could only bear it silently. He even felt that being cursed by the cabinet members would make him feel better. In fact, it was also a kind of inner torment and self-blame.
Suddenly at this time, Kumamoto Tokugawa, the chief of the Kumamoto Shogunate, suddenly looked at Hayaki Murashita.
"Murashita Hayaki, can you explain where the Haruna-class light aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer went?"
"Now, answer me truthfully."
Faced with this aggressive question, Murashita Hayaki's neck suddenly tensed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
But he could only shake his head to respond.
"Are all the ships participating in the battle, including the aircraft carrier, gone?"
Kumamoto Tokugawa's voice suddenly turned cold, as if the conference room had suddenly entered the cold winter, and the temperature dropped suddenly.
The other cabinet members also had cold eyes, but their ears were wide open.
"Yes, yes."
Murashita Hayaki could only nod his head in response.
The naval battle was fought like that, and almost all the participating ships were wiped out. As for where the aircraft carrier went, he was not a god, so how could he know clearly?
Maybe it was floating on the sea like a ghost ship, or maybe it was captured by the Longxia Navy.
Both situations are possible.
As for the Longxia tribe, Liu Huaming personally issued an order that anyone who revealed the news of the Haruna-class light aircraft carrier and warships would be sentenced to death, and the news would naturally not spread.
"Baga!"
"We have already been defeated so badly, and the Longxia Navy still wants us to surrender publicly and compensate for their losses?"
"Asshole, then who will compensate for our losses?"
Kumamoto Tokugawa was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and his anger was about to burn out his last bit of rationality.
He had never been as angry as today.
The aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier is gone.
The 88 Fleet is gone!
The Navy's warships were almost completely lost. What a huge and heavy loss!
"Bakayarro, Longxia is too arrogant."
"Your Navy is useless. It's purely a fool who is in command. You let us lose so badly!"
"Such a huge loss is something our Navy has never had. No, our tribe has never had it in decades. Murashita Hayaki, do you know?"
"We must not surrender publicly, let alone pay compensation. If they have the guts, they can start a war against us!"
A group of cabinet members were furious and clamored. They even started a new round of war to suppress the arrogance of the Longxia Navy.
In their view, even if the Longxia Navy met it, it would only be a victory for one branch of the military. They still had the Ground Self-Defense Force and the Air Self-Defense Force, and they could take back everything they lost.
They could even fight a very beautiful counterattack and kill directly into the Longxia tribe.
"Murashita Hayaki, will the Longxia Navy not withdraw its warships if we don't surrender or pay compensation?"
After waving his hand and everyone quieted down, Kumamoto Tokugawa asked again in a deep voice.
"That's right, Chief."
Murashita Hayaki was numb, but he had to bite the bullet and respond.
He could already sense that he was in danger. According to the current situation, the Kumamoto shogunate would definitely start a massacre and personally participate in the rectification of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force.
"Chief, and all the cabinet members, this is a decision unanimously voted by the Blue Star Alliance. If we don't comply, I'm afraid even the Eagle Tribe will take the lead in punishing us."
"We can't afford such consequences."
The head of the foreign affairs department had to stand up and emphasize it again.
Last time, it was because we violated the resolution and took the initiative to provoke the war that we lost like this, and the Eagle Tribe was extremely dissatisfied.
If they violate it again, the Donghuang tribe will fall into a terrible situation from which there is no way back. There is no room for maneuver.
The Donghuang tribe is now trapped both internally and externally. Faced with such a situation, even though Kumamoto Tokugawa is extremely arrogant, he has to choose to admit defeat and bow his head.
"Send someone to the Longxia tribe immediately to negotiate with them and find a compromise solution. I cannot apologize publicly, but I can increase the compensation a little."
"In addition, the cabinet will send personnel to the Eagle tribe and those allied tribes to communicate and see if there is a special plane for this matter."
"Don't be afraid to spend money. Some money should be spent, and it must be spent!"
Kumamoto Tokugawa sighed for a long time, and finally made corresponding arrangements directly.
After doing all this, he stood up and left the conference room immediately, unwilling to continue to look at such a group of very annoying guys.
Seeing that the chiefs all stood up and left, many cabinet members also stood up and left, and the sneer on the corners of their mouths was not concealed. They did not have any sympathy for Murashita Zaoki, but on the contrary, they had a strong disgust.
The Maritime Self-Defense Force lost this battle so badly that not only did they lose face, but they also felt deeply humiliated.
The Longxia Navy surrounded the Donghuang Tribe and pointed their guns at their faces. They were really attacking them in the face and riding on their necks.
After receiving the order, the cabinet immediately made arrangements and left the conference room.
As a result, only Murashita Zaoki was left in the conference room. He sat there alone with a depressed look on his face.
After a while, he let out a long sigh, and the whole person seemed to have aged all of a sudden.
How unruly he was in the past, so today, he was so dejected and depressed.
He really regretted it very much. Why did he go to war with the Longxia Navy?
Why did he get so excited?
