Chapter 330 The Navy Went Crazy when the Idea Was to Target the Army

"What time is it now?"

Hearing Liu Huaming's question, Xu Dongguo quickly raised his hand and took a look: "Chief, it's already 10:35 in the evening."

"I guess Xue Shuai hasn't rested yet, okay, I'll contact him now."

Liu Huaming made a brief assessment and decisively picked up the red confidential phone and dialed. It didn't take long for him to get in touch with Xue Shuai.

Fortunately, Xue Shuai didn't rest at this time, otherwise he would be disturbing him from sleeping.

"Your navy needs people again. It seems that you are developing very quickly."

"If you don't have enough manpower, then you can expand the scope of enrollment next year and recruit more people, whether for training or reserve."

Xue Shuai said in a very calm tone. He didn't feel how serious the situation was, but he was somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.

Isn't Liu Huaming just eating too much to disturb his sleep with such a trivial matter?

"Commander, we need veterans, that is, skilled technical engineers with strong ideas."

"The newly recruited people are not safe enough and are prone to the risk of leaks."

Liu Huaming said bluntly. He could even hear that Xue Shuai had misunderstood him, but he couldn't care less now.

Hearing this, Xue Shuai frowned slightly and said directly: "How many people do you need?"

"Xue Shuai, I need at least 15,000 people. I originally needed more than 20,000 people, and our navy can still provide more than 5,000."

"I have no choice, Xue Shuai."

Liu Huaming said directly. Just now he thought that it was unrealistic to borrow more than 20,000 people from the army at one time. No matter what, the navy must squeeze out 5,000 people to provide to the integrated military factory, and the army will make up for the shortage.

In this way, it looks much better.

Liu Huaming's words directly shocked Xue Shuai. He didn't expect that so many people would be needed at once, and they were all veterans.

This made him have to doubt.

"Liu Huaming, are you crazy? You are borrowing so many people at once. Are you so short of people in your navy?"

"Why do you need so many veterans at once? What do you want to do?"

"Are you Navy going to launch some secret military operations without telling me?"

Xue Shuai asked in great surprise.

"Xue Shuai, if we have any secret operations, we will definitely report to you first."

"It's just that the integrated military factory is about to be expanded, and the new warships are about to be developed. There are too few skilled technical workers, and there are not enough."

"I'm just asking for money from you. Please support me, Xue Shuai."

Liu Huaming knew that he couldn't fool Xue Shuai, so he just showed his cards and told Su Dingping's needs.

After hearing this, Xue Shuai was shocked again.

Has the navy made such rapid progress?

He remembered very clearly that the integrated military factory had been upgraded and renovated twice, and its scale had reached 5,000 acres. It was able to produce advanced 052C warships and produced three 052Ds for the navy.

If it is upgraded again, wouldn't it be even larger?

But what is this new warship?

Is it more advanced than 052D?

Has the navy started developing new warships for the future?

The speed of progress is a bit scary.

"What kind of new warship are you going to make?"

"Tell me in detail."

Xue Shuai asked immediately.

"Commander, I'm really sorry, I don't know the details very well, everything is done by Dingping."

"He just briefly mentioned to me last time that he was working on a 10,000-ton destroyer, which is a real super giant ship, completely different from the new concept ship of the Eagle Tribe."

Liu Huaming smiled helplessly and then began to explain.

He didn't know much about this type of warship. He was just excited at the time, and he didn't care too much about the details. He just needed the warship to win the battle.

"What? The next generation of warships of the navy has a displacement of more than 10,000 tons?"

"I have to say that your navy has taken a big step."

"Tell me, what is a 10,000-ton destroyer?"

Liu Huaming's words naturally attracted Xue Shuai's interest, but he had no idea about 10,000-ton destroyers, so he needed to answer his questions.

"Sorry, Chief, I, I don't know either."

"To be honest, I haven't even seen the design drawings."

"At the beginning, Dingping only mentioned to me that the next generation of naval warships are 10,000-ton destroyers, that is, missile destroyers with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons."

"I trust Dingping, so I let him do it. I only take care of the logistics support work. I will give him whatever he wants."

Faced with Xue Shuai's repeated questioning, Liu Huaming felt bitter in his heart and could only report some of his knowledge.

Ten thousand-ton destroyers, even the fleet leaders under him have no idea, okay?

If you want to say that you know the concept and have seen pictures, I'm afraid there are only a few people in the integrated military factory.

It is still in the research and development stage, so confidentiality must be in place and strict.

After listening to Liu Huaming's words, Xue Shuai was also full of emotion.

In the past, Liu Huaming was extremely cautious in everything, but now, just because Su Dingping proposed a concept of a 10,000-ton destroyer, he dared to let this person go for it without even looking at the design sketch.

However, since Su Dingping joined the navy, the navy has completely turned over and regained its vitality and combat effectiveness.

Whether it is 052C or 052D, the combat effectiveness is so strong that it defeated the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force and confronted the aircraft carrier fleet.

Now it has sailed thousands of kilometers and successfully arrived in Doha City, helping the Longxia tribe to join the trade organization. There was no malfunction during the voyage, which shows how reliable these two types of ships are.

In the international arena, it is also very powerful in strength and reliability.

Especially the comprehensive combat capability of 052D, he heard that it has surpassed the current main battleship of the Eagle Tribe, the Burke-2 missile destroyer, and directly ranked among the world's advanced ranks, leading the major naval powers of Blue Star.

The navy has now entered the peak period of replacement, which means that 052D has started the batch construction mode, and a new 10,000-ton large destroyer must be developed.

In this way, the few people in the integrated military factory are not enough, and they can only seek help from outside.

He is really looking forward to what a mighty existence the new generation of naval warships will be.

For the sake of naval construction, after thinking for a while, Xue Shuai immediately said: "You called me to need my coordination, right? Who are you going to ask for people?"

"The army has the most old technicians."

Liu Huaming said quickly and took out the plan he had prepared long ago.

Compared with the air force, the army has the most talents, so he naturally adopted Xu Dongguo's suggestion.

"Okay, I'll say hello to Deng Zhenhua."

"You go directly to him tomorrow. As for how many people to borrow, you can borrow them yourself."

Xue Shuai immediately decided that he would naturally support the navy's affairs.

With the ever-changing international situation, the navy will face more and more challenges. Without advanced warships and all the old ships will be eliminated, it will not be able to bear the corresponding responsibilities.

And with the Longxia tribe joining the Blue Star Alliance Trade Organization, Longxia's interests will extend to all parts of the world, and the only one that can maneuver and fight globally is the navy.

Navy ships are not only combat fortresses, but also places of life, and mobile land. Of course, the more advanced the better.

The Longxia Navy also needs to lead the development trend of Blue Star warships and leave the Eagle Tribe behind.

Deng Zhenhua is the highest commander of the Army and has a good relationship with Liu Huaming. However, if he wants to borrow people, it will be no problem with Xue Shuai's endorsement.

"Thank you, Chief."

Then he talked to Xue Shuai about some other things before they hung up the phone.

Liu Huaming was completely relieved. He would no longer be afraid of being rejected tomorrow.

In fact, he also knew that the support given by the Army before was still very large, but those were small-scale support, and it was hard to say whether it would be a large-scale support this time.

With Xue Shuai's endorsement, he must be able to beg enough people from the Army. Not only will the quantity be large, but the key is to keep the secret as much as possible.

Not long after, Liu Huaming received a call from Deng Zhenhua, the chief of the Army.

"Old Liu, what are you doing? You are so mysterious, and you are asking for 15,000 people right away?"

"They are all experienced old technical engineers. What exactly are you going to do?"

Liu Huaming obviously didn't expect Deng Zhenhua to call him so soon. He was afraid that the guy would call Xue Shuai right after he hung up the phone.

This saved him the time of making a special trip tomorrow, which is not bad.

He simply communicated on the phone in advance.

"Old Deng, I'm really short of people here."

"According to the three-step strategy, the navy has officially entered the peak period of equipment replacement and started the mode of warships being produced in dumplings. Isn't this a lack of old technical engineers?"

"Let the newcomers go, and it's not confidential. Let the veterans go, and the meaning is different."

Liu Huaming explained briefly, "Don't worry, there is a return after borrowing. I will return all of it immediately in three years."

After hearing Liu Huaming's words, the army chief immediately guessed that this must be Su Dingping, whom he had met at the naval base before. He was a top scientist and a top talent in military science and technology who was coveted wherever he went.

"Old Liu, is this matter related to Comrade Su Dingping?"

Faced with Deng Zhenhua's inquiry, Liu Huaming quickly laughed and said: "No, no, we just turned on the mode of explosive troops. Several, or even more than a dozen warships are being built at the same time, so naturally we need so many people."

"Just tell me, do you want to lend it to me?"

Naturally, he didn't want Su Dingping to be remembered all the time, so he naturally avoided the topic.

Who is Deng Zhenhua?

He immediately guessed Liu Huaming's intention. It was impossible for him not to remember Su Dingping.

He wanted to poach him before, and now the opportunity finally came, how could he miss it?

The Navy has turned on the mode of explosive troops, and the Army also wants it, right?

Especially the ballistic missiles that Su Dingping proposed to hit warships before, which the Soviet Union had not realized before, but Su Dingping was full of confidence. Once it was done, it would be of extraordinary significance.

"Old Liu, there is no problem with borrowing people."

"But I have a condition. Su Dingping must serve our army for a period of time."

"If you disagree, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Deng Zhenhua spoke directly. He wanted to take Su Dingping over last time, but was stopped by Liu Huaming. He has always remembered it.

Liu Huaming naturally couldn't resist, so he glanced at Xu Dongguo and then said, "I agree. As for whether Su Dingping is willing to go, I can't make the decision."

Hearing this, the army chief laughed immediately.

"I feel relieved when you say this. Just don't chase him away when the time comes."

The two didn't talk about other things anymore. After reaching an agreement, they hung up the phone immediately.

After all this was done, not only Liu Huaming, but also Xu Dongguo and the others were completely relieved.

Next is the 10,000-ton destroyer, and the large number of 052Ds will be produced. Just thinking about it makes them extremely excited.

They all had insomnia that night.

Eagle Tribe, Black Palace, Office of the Great Chief.

The Great Chief started a new day of work again, sitting on a chair with a pen in his hand, and quickly signed his name on the documents.

These documents were already sorted out by the staff, and he only needed to take a look and sign his name, which was enough, very easy.

At this time, many staff members and military leaders such as Hawk Henry came to the office.

"What happened? Did the White Bear Tribe suddenly attack in the central region?"

Seeing such a large number of people coming, the chief immediately stopped writing and asked nervously.

He really couldn't figure out what else could make his staff members and military leaders so nervous, except for the sudden attack by the White Bear Tribe.

It was like forming a wartime cabinet!

Everyone did not answer the chief's question immediately, but found a seat and sat down first.

Several staff members looked at Hawk Henry and other military leaders, and one of them said.

"Chief, this incident is related to the Longxia Tribe."

"The White Bear Tribe has not taken any action at present."

Hearing this, the chief was relieved. As long as the White Bear Tribe did not suddenly attack in the central region, they could still rest assured.

"Chief, the Longxia tribe has successfully joined the trade organization."

"They have obtained two-thirds of the votes in favor."

The words of the staff made the chief, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, turn green in an instant.

He had clearly given orders to snipe the Longxia tribe and never let them join the trade organization.

He wanted to use this to coerce the Longxia tribe, but who would have thought that he would be successfully robbed.

The chief really couldn't understand why they had deployed so tightly, and many tribes had agreed to their demands, but why did they suddenly change their minds temporarily? Aren't they afraid of death?

"Chief, don't blame them. The Longxia tribe directly sent a fleet to escort the representatives there."

"The fleet has a size of nine ships, one of which is something we have never seen before."

The staff took a deep breath, then explained, and roughly described the scene at that time.

Naturally, he described a series of things such as the friendly visit of the Longxia fleet and the fight against pirates in Malacca.

After listening to it, the confused chief understood it instantly, but his face became even uglier.

At first he thought that the Longxia tribe had played a good hand and easily dealt with the rogue tribes in the Dongzhou waters. He even called on his staff to learn Longxia's strategies.
