Chapter 310 The Captains Are Thinking About 052D

He picked up the wine glass and drank it without hesitation.

To be honest, he was very happy today. He was honored to drink with so many young naval officers and senior leaders, and he was very moved.

It was these people who carried the burden and worked hard to preserve the Longxia sea.

After everyone sat down again, not long after, Zhou Qinglei, the new captain of the 052D guided-drive, took the lead and walked over, holding a glass of wine in his hand and a bottle of wine in his left hand.

Behind him, Cao Youren, Song Haidong, Jiang Shengrong and other 052C captains came one by one.

"Dingping, the performance of 052D in all aspects is simply too invincible."

"This is the most advanced warship I have ever driven in my life. You have contributed a lot to my medal."

While speaking, Zhou Qinglei took the initiative to fill Su Dingping's glass with wine, and then he raised the glass, "I toast you, I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

After that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, very generous and happy.

Following Su Dingping, the warships he drove were more powerful than the previous generation.

Half a year ago, if someone told him that he would drive the Longxia tribe's own stealth warship in the future, he would definitely spray that person.

But now he is driving 052D and using his own technical advantages to defeat the aircraft carrier, the giant on the sea.

From beginning to end, the 052D he drove has never been discovered by the Japanese.

Super stealth capability and powerful optoelectronic capability directly make 052D have extremely powerful comprehensive combat power. It can also launch land attack cruise missiles. It is simply the dream ship of every captain.

"Drink it."

The atmosphere is full, and Su Dingping will not admit defeat. He also drank it all.

The hot liquor flowed down from his throat, making him sweat on his forehead.

Fortunately, the air conditioner was turned on in this hall, otherwise he would not dare to drink like this, you know, it's all white.

Drinking beer in this occasion is obviously not suitable.

"Good alcohol tolerance!"

Cao Youren also stepped forward to help Su Dingping fill up the bottle, and motioned him to eat a bite of food first. He stood aside and asked excitedly, "Dingping, when will the new batch of 052D be launched? I can't wait."

As the leader of the team to suppress the Japanese fleet head-on this time, after knowing the powerful performance of 052D, he suddenly felt that 052C was not so attractive.

Especially after hearing from Zhou Qinglei that although the 052D is upgraded from the 052C, the difference between the two is at least one generation of ships, he was envious and drooled.

In any case, he must have a 052D from the new batch.

"Captain Cao, you are not kind, you are greedy, your 052C is advanced enough, and now you are thinking about the new batch of 052D, what should we do?"

"Is it picking up your leftovers?"

Wu Ruoming on the side was anxious. He had been driving 956E before, and in this military operation, he could only serve as a second-line force and play support, which was too unpleasant.

If they could upgrade their guns, they would be able to travel across the Dongzhou Sea in the future.

Before, sending the 052D to fight was also a helpless move by Xu Dongguo and other three leaders. The war happened too hastily, so naturally they did not decide which fleet to use first, so they directly let Zhou Qinglei go.

Zhou Qinglei belongs to the Northern Fleet, and he and Su Dingping participated in the lone ship's foray into the East Desert Tribe, entering a place only 90 kilometers away from the coastline and directly launching an attack.

In any way, Zhou Qinglei is the most qualified person in the entire navy to drive the 052D, so it was naturally given to him.

As for which fleet the second 052D will be given to first, no one has considered it.

"Don't worry, everyone will have what they should have."

"In the future, you will all drive the most advanced missile destroyers."

After eating a few bites of food in a row, Su Dingping smiled at everyone. He was really happy to be able to communicate with these captains.

"Dingping, this is a good thing. I have hope now."

Wu Ruoming said, his eyes brightened.

"Come on, Dingping, I toast you."

"To be honest, I had a great time fighting this battle, thank you."

Cao Youren gently clinked his glasses with Su Dingping, and then said excitedly, "I am a rough man and can't speak, but all my feelings are in this glass of wine. I'll drink it, you can do whatever you want."

To be honest, these captains knew that Su Dingping was a military expert and was definitely not as good at drinking as them. In fact, Su Dingping only needed to take a sip to show his intention.

Just looking at the many captains who had made great military achievements, Su Dingping didn't care so much. He gritted his teeth and made up his mind to go all out today.

Seeing that the Longxia Navy had won a very beautiful victory, he was really happy.

"You can't say that. No matter how advanced the warship is, it is still driven by people. The warship can perform at its level in your hands, all relying on you talented captains to operate and use it."

Su Dingping looked around at the captains and the big guys present, "I am very happy today to see that our warships can make contributions under your control. Come on, I will do it too."

Hearing Su Dingping's words, Liu Huaming and other leaders all showed gratified smiles on their faces.

This guy is good at talking, and he is still so humble. Even if he has achieved such great achievements, he still does not take credit or be arrogant.

Such young people are rare in the country.

The navy really picked up a big treasure!

God gave Su Dingping to the navy, which is really good to the navy.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

Everyone drank a lot and everyone was very happy.

"Dingping, you have a good alcohol tolerance."

Liu Huaming smiled and picked up the wine glass, gently clinking it with the glass on Su Dingping's table, "Come on, let's drink another one."

"No, no, chief, I really can't drink any more."

"Wait a minute, I want to do some more research when I go back."

Su Dingping's breathing became heavier, and he exhaled a strong smell of alcohol, and waved his hand.

Seeing Su Dingping's insistence, and talking about Liu Huaming and other leaders, he did not force him, but ended the banquet.

Under the guidance of Xu Dongguo, the group came to the conference hall of the northern base.

After sitting down in order, everyone turned their attention to Su Dingping.

"Dingping, tell us what research you are going to do when you go back?"

After looking at Liu Huaming, Xu Dongguo immediately understood and asked.

"To be honest with you, after these days of in-depth research, the reconstruction of the aircraft carrier has already taken shape."

"The repair work of the Varyag aircraft carrier can almost be officially launched."

Under the gaze of everyone, Su Dingping then slowly spoke.

So fast?

Even after going through the storm, Liu Huaming and others were still shocked.

It has been almost 20 days since the Varyag arrived home, and there is a plan for continued construction so soon. Isn't this too scary?

According to their understanding of Su Dingping, it is clear that the relevant core technologies have been almost mastered.

"Well, Dingping, we don't have to be so anxious. It won't be a problem to wait a few more months or even a year. Our navy can still hold on."

"You know, your health is more important than anything else. You can also solve personal problems. You must pay attention to your health."

Xu Dongguo soon recovered and smiled and said that the navy only had such a big treasure that everyone was fighting for. Naturally, he didn't want Su Dingping to be exhausted.

Scientific research is indeed a very brain-consuming and energy-consuming thing.

Staying up late all day, they are really worried that Su Dingping's small body will not be able to bear it one day, and that would be a huge loss for the navy.

"Yes, Dingping, we can all wait, it's okay."

"You haven't contacted Guo Xueyun for a long time, right? We can give you a few days off, you can take advantage of this time to have a good chat with her and confirm your relationship."

"We are all waiting to drink your wedding wine."

Qian Wenbing also interrupted at this time, and his serious look almost broke Su Dingping's defense.

Speaking of Guo Xueyun, the two have not contacted each other since they met in Qindao. Even though he has a mobile phone and Guo Xueyun has sent text messages, he is too busy, so every time he sees the text messages, it is already late at night.

If he replies, it will disturb her rest.

Gradually, he found that the text messages were less.

"Dingping really needs time to solve his personal problems. I've met Guo Xueyun, a very good kid."

"She has a clean family background and is from our military compound."

At this time, Xiao Chongjun also interrupted, looking very interested.

"No, no, sir, I'm only 21 years old, still young, I need to focus on my career first."

Su Dingping was startled and waved his hands quickly, but he didn't expect that his personal problems would be taken seriously by the four real leaders of the navy, including Liu Huaming.

And it seems that they all know Guo Xueyun's family background better than he does.

"Dingping, what you said is wrong, huh? I had a baby when I was 20, and you're almost 21 now, it's time to get it resolved."

"Don't drag it on."

Qian Wenbing took over the conversation and said with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about it. Dingping doesn't have time for this matter, so I'll arrange it. I'll definitely arrange it for you properly, Dingping, just put your mind at ease."

After seeing Su Dingping's discomfort, Xu Dongguo immediately spoke up to smooth things over. He knew Guo Xueyun's affairs better than anyone else, so he would be the matchmaker.

Seeing the leaders taking on the responsibility, Su Dingping sighed helplessly.

For him, dating is a waste of time. If he has that time, he might as well devote himself to scientific research and conquer core technologies. Isn't that better than anything else?

If he talks about his girlfriend, he will quarrel if he disagrees with her. After the quarrel, he has to coax her and of course, he has to spend time with her.

How time-consuming is this?

Su Dingping now finally understands why so many older generation researchers have solved their personal problems early and then devoted themselves to scientific research.

"Let's talk about this later."

Su Dingping really didn't want to waste that time, so he simply pushed it off.

Seeing that Su Dingping didn't give in, Xu Dongguo simply didn't dwell on this matter, but instead changed the subject.

"Dingping, let me tell you a good news. Our navy is finally rich."

"We sold a series of transactions including the light aircraft carrier, the Kongo-class guided missile, and the supporting missiles and shells, for a total of 3.8 billion US dollars. After deducting various expenses, our navy can get at least 3.4 billion US dollars."

"This time, the Donghuang tribe paid 15 billion US dollars in compensation, and we can get 7 billion US dollars."

"In other words, in total, our navy can get 10.4 billion US dollars."

Here, he paused slightly, but did not hide his excitement at all. He was really in high spirits.

"When the military budget is allocated next year, our navy will really become rich."

"When has our navy been so rich? Never."

"This money is enough for the navy to squander for a while."

Xu Dongguo's words resonated with other leaders. They had always been troubled by the lack of military budget before, and their lives were so poor, not to mention building advanced warships and aircraft carriers.

But now, it has suddenly obtained an additional income of 10.4 billion US dollars, which is more than 80 billion RMB if converted into RMB. What a huge fortune.

Adding the navy's funding allocation, the navy's military expenditure directly exceeds 100 billion.

It was unimaginable in the past.

100 billion scale.

What does this mean?

Liu Huaming and others did not expect that the navy would be so rich. The past events were vivid in their minds, making their eyes red and full of emotion.

Without money, there are restrictions everywhere. Now that we have money, we feel different.

"After discussion, we have decided that you can spend as much as you want on this military expenditure."

"We will approve as much as you want."

Xu Dongguo said very generously, and his tone and tone looked like a nouveau riche.

"Yes, Dingping, just ask, don't think about saving money. Our navy is not short of money now, and we can guarantee your comprehensive scientific research."

"Dingping, we have a lot of money now, just ask for anything."

Qian Wenbing and Xiao Chongjun also spoke up. They were more plain and simple, and directly used money to open the way, so that Su Dingping had no worries.

Seeing that several leaders were so generous, Su Dingping smiled lightly. These leaders didn't understand how much the navy owed.

It's time for them to face reality and stop laughing.

"Ahem."

Su Dingping cleared his throat, took out the small notebook he carried with him, took a look and then spoke.

"Commanders, listen carefully."

"The continuation of the construction of the Varyag aircraft carrier and the restoration of its due combat effectiveness require the participation of the entire industry chain, including carrier-based aircraft and the production line of carrier-based aircraft. A set of them will cost at least 7 billion US dollars."

"If the carrier-based aircraft are upgraded and the aircraft carrier function is upgraded, the cost will increase by at least 3 billion US dollars, which adds up to 10 billion US dollars."

"If you want to build a complete aircraft carrier fleet, you need to build missile destroyers, many frigates, and comprehensive supply ships known as the aircraft carrier's nurse."

"Missile destroyers, I plan to equip the aircraft carrier with 055-type 10,000-ton destroyers. The research and development and construction costs are estimated to be 10 billion RMB, and the upgrade of the production line will cost another sum of money. I plan to spend 5 billion RMB. Isn't it an exaggeration?"

"There is also the mass production of 052D, which also requires money, and the upgrade of the production line also requires money."

At this point, Su Dingping glanced at the leaders, but saw that the smiles on their faces gradually stiffened, and they could hardly laugh.
