Chapter 312: The Sword Points to the Blue Star Powers
They were quite afraid that Su Dingping would take all the 100 billion yuan.
In that case, the Navy's funding would return to the pre-liberation period in a second, and it would become a pauper again.
"With these 70 billion yuan, we can last for a few months."
"As for the improvement and research and development costs of various missiles, torpedoes and other weapons on the 10,000-ton destroyer, we will talk about it later."
After hearing Su Dingping's words, Liu Huaming, who was originally relieved, suddenly realized that the 10,000-ton destroyer was a brand-new warship, so it was necessary to improve the missiles that matched it to truly exert its due combat effectiveness.
Just like the missiles previously adapted to 052B cannot be used for 052C and 052D, each generation of ships has its own missile weapons for use.
Of course, this does not mean that it is a waste or cannot be used. It is mainly because the performance of the ship is more advanced, and the missiles originally adapted to other ships have fallen behind in terms of technical performance and other aspects.
If the old missile weapons continue to be used, the combat effectiveness of the newly developed warships will only be greatly reduced.
The manufacturing cost of 052D is about 400 million US dollars, plus the missiles, torpedoes and other weapon systems that are compatible with it, at least 50 million US dollars will be needed, which is 450 million US dollars in total.
This alone is a considerable expense.
Xu Dongguo sighed in his heart. The navy is really a money-eating monster. So much money is gone, or they are too short of money. They need to make money like crazy.
In fact, he sometimes feels that he is not a good leader. He can't get enough funds to fully meet Su Dingping's talent needs.
He once imagined that if there is sufficient financial guarantee, just like the oil-rich countries in the central region with endless funds, would the Longxia Navy be different, and all three fleets will use the most advanced warships.
With these advanced warships, the navy can gallop on the ocean and have a new century maritime showdown with the Eagle Tribe.
Xu Dongguo and Liu Huaming looked at each other, and after a look, he looked at Su Dingping and spoke.
"Dingping, I know you are thinking about us. Let me approve you 40 billion to ensure your research progress."
"When the compensation from the Donghuang tribe arrives and the military funds allocated from above are also received, we will approve you another 30 billion."
"You can do it completely freely."
"Don't worry, we will do a good job of logistics to ensure that none of your scientific research results will be unable to be implemented because of money."
Xu Dongguo's words were very moving, and Su Dingping was also very moved.
In fact, he didn't ask for much, just hoped that the three major fleets of the navy could be equipped with cutting-edge warships as soon as possible, so that they would not fall behind in future naval battles, even against powerful opponents like the Eagle Tribe.
In the past, the navy's warships were not advanced enough, so they could fight guerrilla warfare at sea, fight with bayonets, and use the lives of soldiers to exchange for hard-won victories. In future naval battles, he wanted the navy to use more advanced equipment than the opponent and win the naval battle at the cost of zero casualties.
The Longxia soldiers are the cutest people. Their lives are extremely precious, and Su Dingping also cherishes them very much.
"Yes, Chief!"
Su Dingping finally felt relieved. This installment payment is quite in line with his needs.
As long as the funds are in place, the subsequent construction will be accelerated. Whether it is the upgrade and transformation of the integrated military factory or the research and development of new ships, they need to be advanced quickly.
After talking about some other things, Su Dingping got up and left.
Only Liu Huaming, Xu Dongguo, Xiao Chongjun, and Qian Wenbing, four naval leaders, were left in the huge conference hall.
"To put it bluntly, the navy is still a high-tech branch of the military. Without money, nothing can be done."
"We saved a little money before and gave it all to Su Dingping, but he still brought us a miracle. Without the addition of new warships, we simply could not meet the challenge of the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force."
Qian Wenbing spoke first, with infinite emotion on his face, "Before, the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force drew the air defense identification zone to our doorstep, and we could only stare blankly."
Everyone agreed with his words.
It is precisely because the navy is a high-tech branch of the military that each warship costs money, and the missiles used also cost money. The old missiles cannot be adapted to the new warships, and only newer ones can be developed.
In this case, it would be strange if they were not disliked.
Fortunately, the navy finally survived and won a huge victory over the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force, and completely completed the battle for status within the Dongzhou tribe. The Longxia Navy has now become the real boss in the Dongzhou waters.
Next, they will face the challenge of the Eagle Tribe. In this case, they need to continue to increase investment in research and development and develop more cutting-edge warships. Fortunately, they have strategic-level military experts like Su Dingping.
"We fought this battle very quickly. Although we took great risks and faced huge pressure from both home and abroad, fortunately, we won and completely eliminated the main force of the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force."
"It has laid a solid foundation for our navy in the next two years. It is really not easy."
Xiao Chongjun then became slightly drunk and began to sigh.
He knew very well that it would be unthinkable to win this battle without those advanced warships.
"The victory in this battle really opened up a new situation for us. It is of great significance for the future battle with the Eagle Tribe. It is really not easy."
"Although the crisis has become bigger and more uncontrollable than before, fortunately our navy has become stronger now, with more new warships equipped and enhanced ability to control crises."
Xu Dongguo also had something to say about the great victory in this battle against the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force. It was really hard-won for the navy to achieve such an achievement today.
After so long of seeking peace, it was not as good as this battle. The East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force, which was arrogant and arrogant in the past, became a defeated general of the Longxia Navy today.
This will undoubtedly have a great impact on the peace in the Dongzhou Sea for a period of time in the future.
Liu Huaming, who was sitting in the primary position, nodded gently after listening. The words of each fleet commander touched his heart.
Peace is not begged, but earned with fists.
"You are all right. The era when we wanted to keep a low profile and seek peace with tolerance is over."
"Our future development depends on our strength."
"Only the situation that is achieved with fists is what we need and will last longer."
After a long breath of turbid air, Liu Huaming's eyes became more determined. The navy is the foundation for safeguarding maritime rights and interests and ensuring the realization of Longxia's maritime interests.
Without continuous high investment, the navy cannot achieve greater development, and it cannot ensure that the navy will take unwavering action when national interests are violated by powerful enemies.
The era of using flesh and blood to exchange for victory is gone forever. Future naval battles require the support of high-tech equipment.
Especially in the face of tough characters like the Eagle Tribe who are armed to the teeth with high technology, the Longxia Navy needs more advanced equipment.
"Next, I'll go find Commander Xue."
"Ask him to approve more military funds for our navy, and we'll implement the strategy formulated by Dingping."
"Our navy needs more and more powerful warships."
Without waiting for the three fleet commanders to speak, Liu Huaming had already made a decision. He wanted to be Su Dingping's logistics chief and go all out to ensure sufficient financial support.
The future of defending peace with strength has come, and this is a fact that no one can change. Fortunately, the navy is ready.
At the same time, the Eagle Tribe, the Black Palace.
It was already dawn in the Eagle Tribe at this time, and the streets were bustling with traffic, and there were busy figures of office workers everywhere.
In the office of the chief, several senior staff had already arrived here and started a new day of work.
"Chief, the latest news."
Intelligence officer Michael glanced at everyone and spoke first, "The matter between the Donghuang Tribe and the Longxia Tribe has come to an end."
The chief nodded lightly, and did not care too much about such a major event.
"Chief, some people in our group are quite dissatisfied with us for not supporting the Donghuang tribe. They even cursed us very badly, saying that we are ungrateful."
A blond staff member spoke up immediately, looking quite unhappy.
"What do they know? They are just a bunch of guys who only know how to take money and are short-sighted."
"The Donghuang tribe has been a little arrogant in recent years, and they dare to say no to us loudly. If we don't give them a warning, they will forget who they are."
"Now that the Longxia Navy has taught them a lesson for us, isn't it very good?"
The chief said meaningfully. In fact, there has been intelligence that the Donghuang tribe has been restless in recent years, and it must be punished. It is very good to teach them a lesson through the hands of the Longxia Navy.
"Now that the Longxia tribe has broken one leg of the Donghuang tribe, they will definitely ask us for help. If we give them a sweet date at that time, the Donghuang tribe will be even more grateful to us?"
"In this way, we can implement the plan to expand the garrison in the future."
After listening to these words, several staff members showed a look of sudden enlightenment.
All the previous doubts were explained. It must be said that the chief was very shrewd. He did not allow any senior officials to meet with the representatives sent by the Donghuang tribe for another reason.
"You guys need to have a deep understanding of the Longxia tribe. They are not strong now, but they are making rapid progress."
"Especially their military works. The more you read, the more you can win every battle. We must never forget that our military power is used to maintain the status of our tribe as a superpower."
Without waiting for the staff to speak, the commander-in-chief reminded them again that he had obtained a lot of information about the Longxia Navy from the intelligence department.
I always thought that the Longxia Navy was very weak, but after this naval battle, he realized that the speed of the Longxia Navy's rise was somewhat astonishing.
Although the Longxia Navy is still very weak now, it must not be underestimated.
"Yes, Great Chief."
The staff nodded and agreed.
"Have you found out anything about the whereabouts of the Haruna-class aircraft carrier?"
Faced with the sudden inquiry from the Great Chief, Michael, as an intelligence officer, quickly took out a document, flipped it open, and then reported.
"Great Chief, based on the comprehensive intelligence from various aspects, the light aircraft carrier is in the hands of the Longxia tribe."
"It is basically certain that this information is true and reliable."
Hearing this, the Great Chief frowned slightly, and then said:
"Since this matter has been confirmed, we must send someone to the Longxia tribe to return the Haruna-class aircraft carrier to me. The Varyag aircraft carrier was bought by them and can fall into their hands, but this light aircraft carrier has our technology."
"Therefore, it must not fall into their hands."
The staff in charge of foreign affairs quickly stood up and said: "Yes, Great Chief!"
In the final analysis, the control of the two aircraft carriers manufactured by the East Wasteland Tribe must still be in the hands of the Eagle Tribe, and the East Wasteland Tribe has no power to command and dispatch them at all.
"Great Chief, there is one more thing."
"This surrender ceremony was held on a 052C of the Longxia Navy. After multiple comparisons by our technicians, this is the shield ship we photographed by the satellite last time."
"The shield surface on it is larger than our Arleigh Burke 2, and the detection distance is farther."
"They are equipped with a batch of such advanced shield ships, and their power should not be underestimated."
Michael urgently provided a new intelligence and sent it to the hands of the great chief, reporting with a serious face.
"Oh, there is such a thing?"
The great chief hurriedly took the document and looked through it carefully.
Photos of the surrender ceremony site, as for other irrelevant content, he did not look at it, but directly turned to the page of 052C and started to read it, his brows gradually wrinkled.
There were many warships gathered around the 052C warship that held the surrender ceremony, and even a glimpse of 052D.
Michael also distributed photos of 052C to other staff members, as well as a blurry photo of the shield ship taken by the satellite last time.
After a comparison, everyone basically confirmed that the shield ship photographed by the satellite was the 052C.
But no one expected that it would be so long before the Longxia Navy was equipped with such a batch of new warships.
On the relevant data files, the front photo of the 052C also recorded a large amount of very impressive observation data, and its performance in all aspects was very impressive.
"Great Chief, Captain Ast, who led the battle this time, conducted a comprehensive investigation and analysis of the warship on site and found that the shield ship of the Longxia Navy has very powerful air search and strike capabilities."
"Almost all the reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets of the East Wasteland Self-Defense Force were destroyed by it."
"In addition, according to the report sent back by Ast and the relevant data he collected, our military experts conducted a comprehensive analysis and calculation and found that the range of the air defense missiles it launched was at least more than 100 kilometers."
"The anti-ship missiles equipped basically achieved full-range supersonic penetration, and the close defense system could not effectively intercept them at all."
"It's a pity that it was a visual inspection and did not reach more detailed data."
Michael then took out another document, opened it and looked at it, and then said, "It's a pity that the East Wasteland Sea's independent forces were all destroyed, otherwise we could collect more detailed data."
Next, Michael focused on introducing the relevant performance of 052C, of course, there are also data collected by related satellites.
The first thing everyone got after hearing this was that the 052C equipped by the Longxia Navy is a warship with strong combat performance, and they suddenly felt their scalps bursting.
