"Brother, I promise you, when I come back this time, I will discuss the wedding with Fu Hongyu!"

Liao Fan also planned to take a step back, after all, this matter really had to be done sooner or later, and he had also promised Fu Hongyu that after the country was stable, they would get married, and now except for the situation in the northeast, which is not clear, all other regions have stabilized, and it is time to fulfill his promise.

Liao Jundong smiled happily: "Du Yuming, you can listen well, this sentence was said by your commander-in-chief, and a few of you have memorized it for me!" ”

Now there are many people at the scene, in order to prevent Liao Fan from cheating in the future, he pulled Du Yuming and Huai Yuanliang as witnesses to prove that Liao Fan said this sentence himself.

"Brother Liao, we don't dare to be witnesses, we still have to do things under Brother Fan, if he wears small shoes for us in the future, no one will call the shots for us!" Du Yuming said.

"What's the matter, no matter how old he is, can he still care what his brother says about him? He dares to put small shoes on you, tell me that when he goes home, Lao Tzu will not kill him! ”

"Okay, okay, you can remember this matter for my brother, and it can be regarded as remembering it for me!"

"Hehe, Brother Fan, then we will congratulate you in advance, and we will wait to drink your wedding wine!" Du Yuming congratulated Liao Fan in advance, at least for them, this is indeed a great joy.

Liao Fan didn't pay attention to them, now the only thing Liao Fan can think about is their naval construction, although they have a country with a strong navy like Magnesium Country to imitate, but how many years has the Magnesium Country's navy been built to get to where it is now, and China's navy is really just starting.

The most important thing is that the navy lacks such talents, and no matter how powerful the fleet is, there is no officer in charge of following up, so no matter how many warships there are, they are just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, and they can be blown up and sunk by others before they leave the port.

"Brother Fan, how many cities are we going to this time? How many ports to visit? ”

On the train, Du Yuming was responsible for arranging Liao Fan's entire itinerary. Since they want to build a navy, Liao Fan must have his own plan, and they can't go around like headless flies this time.

"It's unprofessional to look at the questions you ask!" Liao Fan said.

"How unprofessional?" Du Yuming asked curiously.

"You should have asked me how many fleets to build! And then the number of the fleet determines how many ports we have to look at! Liao Fan said.

"Brother Fan, we don't have a few wooden ships, and you still plan to build a dozen fleets?" Du Yuming said with a smile.

"I really don't know why I transferred you to me, you Lao Du just make me uncomfortable all day long." Liao Fan also felt heartache, a huge China, can't even make up a naval fleet, even if you use wooden boats to make up.

Du Yuming is telling the truth, but sometimes when he hears this kind of truth, Liao Fan is really uncomfortable, and his heart is like being pricked by a needle, he Liao Fan is the commander-in-chief of the whole army, and he also wants every branch of the army under his command to be strong and strong, and he can compete with the world's No. 1 when he pulls it out, but everyone knows that their navy is at the same level as the Mongolian navy.

"Brother Fan, although the truth is heart-wrenching, it can make us progress." Of course, Du Yuming knew what Liao Fan was thinking, Liao Fan was also an idealist sometimes, and he also wanted to dream for a while, in which they had a navy as powerful as the magnesium country.

"Then I'll say something more heart-wrenching, not only do we have no warships, we don't have naval officers and naval soldiers." Liao Fan smiled bitterly.

It's okay to say that if there are no warships, they can buy them from abroad, or even think about building them themselves, even if it takes a few more decades, but excellent naval talents can not be cultivated in decades, especially if the ships are not in place, they don't know the internal structure of the ships, how can they train excellent naval personnel?

"Huh!"

This time it was Du Yuming's turn to smile bitterly, as a senior officer, of course he understood the truth of this, not to mention the complexity of the navy, take the air force as an example, even if you have people and no aircraft, you can't train good pilots, and the navy is the same.

The army is different, the army can have people, and they can build an army unit with people.

"Well, do you know where our country is now? There are some aspects that we can admit to being strong, and there are aspects where I really don't want to admit that we are not good, dreaming our own dreams and deceiving ourselves. ”

Liao Fan has already carried these things, he knows the shortcomings and shortcomings of his country, and as an important person of the country, he must bear all this.

"Our country is really weak, so weak that people can't believe it!"

"It's not just that I can't believe it, it's in an unbearable situation, don't look at the fact that we can build airplanes now, but this is the strength of the whole country to build, if you look at the small aspects, we can't even build such a pen!" Liao Fan looked at it with the pen in his hand.

Don't look at Liao Fan, now they have the ability to build planes and tanks, because this is because they have samples and have the technology they learned from abroad, but they don't have the technology to make fountain pens like Liao Fan in his hands, which is simply a great irony for a country.

Military enterprises can strengthen their military, but what can really strengthen a country's economy is those civilian industries, if civilian industries cannot develop, how can a country be strong?

The road they have to walk is really difficult, not only difficult but also very long, which is definitely not something that Liao Fan can do alone.

"Brother Fan, our topic seems to have withdrawn!" Du Yuming reminded Liao Fan.

"It's not far at all, right under our noses, but in the matter of the navy, my initial plan is to build two naval fleets, and when the country becomes stronger in the future, we will build more fleets according to our national strength and coastline."

Two fleets, one in the south and one in the north, but Liao Fan believes that the navy in the south should be built first, there are many islands in China's southern territorial waters, and there are many neighboring countries, these small countries are also restless countries, easy to cause territorial disputes, only a strong force deterrence can ensure that the territory is not constantly disturbed by these small countries, without these troubles, they can have more energy to focus on development.

Another important reason for the development of the southern navy is that there are many shipping in the south of Asia, and many merchant ships from Asian countries will travel to and from the southern shipping lanes of China's waters, and these shipping lanes are good places for robbery, although Liao Fan does not want to be a bandit, but there is money to be made, and he does not mind doing other things.

Of course, all of this is to build their navy well, and without a strong navy, let alone these, their own coastal waters may become someone else's garden.

"Two fleets? How many people are needed? How many warships do you need for a fleet? Du Yuming asked.

For naval construction, they do not have much concept, and it is not even clear how many officers and how many sailors should be on a ship.

Liao Fan also did not know that if according to the standard of naval construction in the magnesium country, there are 500,000 naval officers and men in 10 fleets, not including reserve soldiers, and the five fleets deployed in the Pacific Ocean alone have hundreds of warships and 5,000 or 6,000 aircraft.

Of course, Liao Fan is not so wealthy, let alone the advanced and huge number of weapons of the magnesium army, he only has enthusiasm. Moreover, China's fleet building is certainly different from the construction of other countries' fleets, and there is no unified standard in the world.

"We can only take one step at a time, and in the future, we will have a group of officers and men of the army reorganized into the navy!"

When the fleet is built, recruitment training alone will certainly not be able to meet the navy's demand for soldiers in a short period of time, and it can only be temporarily supplemented by the army with relatively high quality, which is of course not a long-term solution. Liao Fan also wanted a more professional navy.

"It seems that our generation has more than just the task of fighting little devils on their shoulders!"

Du Yuming thinks that when these soldiers finish fighting the little devils, they can go home and rest, but he finally knows at this time that he is afraid that he will not have time to rest in this life, like Liao Fan is so young, he is afraid that the time of his life will be kidnapped to the giant ship of the country, and if the country is not strong, he will not be able to rest for a day.

"There is still time to rest, when you are sixty-five years old, after you are sixty-five years old, I will not let you stay in the army if you want to stay in the army!"

Generals can stay in the army until they retire, but the age of 40 for officers below the rank of general is the limit for them in the army, after all, the army also eats the bowl of rice of youth, and if the seventy or eighty are still in the army, not to mention the combat effectiveness of this army, there will be problems even walking, and what kind of modernization of the army can be talked about.

"Hahaha, Brother Fan, you still went around me, sixty-five years old, I didn't know if I could walk around at that time."

The backwardness of medical conditions and the years of war have made the average age in China only in their thirties, and Du Yuming does not dare to imagine that he will live to be in his 60s.

"Don't worry, you are guaranteed to live to be eighty years old."

Liao Fan smiled, who can guarantee that he can live so long? He was so young, and he was burdened with such heavy work pressure, if he had a good physique, maybe he would have died suddenly.

"Brother Fan, don't joke with me, how should this trip be arranged? I have to inform the local troops to be ready for reception, otherwise when we get there, everything will be arranged now, and it will be too much of a delay in our work efficiency! ”

Now they focus on speed, time is everything, and as long as they get time, they can do more.

"Wasn't our first stop Qingdao? You arrange Qingdao first, and when we arrive in Qingdao, we will discuss where to go next. ”

The northern naval base is built in Qingdao, of course, this is not the only naval base in the north, with the growth of the country, there must be more naval ports in the north to build, but at present, Qingdao is the most suitable place at present.
