Volume 4 The Arms Empire Chapter 1 The Dream of a Strong Country

Yuan January 1, 20177, Changxing Island, Shanghai.

More than 10,000 men, women and children from all over the country and all walks of life crowded on the temporary stands, looking forward to the upcoming and exciting moment.

To the east, in the canopy of the Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard, a majestic giant ship lay quietly on the slipway, about to let out its first cry after birth.

The giant ship that is about to be born will break a history and write a piece of history!

At 0:0, Qu Zhisheng, chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipyard, riveted the last rivet of the giant ship, announcing that the construction of the giant ship was completed.

At 0:25, Dai Fengshun, general manager of Jiangnan Shipyard, started the transmission motor, and the launching ceremony of the giant ship officially began.

Driven by hundreds of large shaft motors, the majestic giant ship weighing tens of thousands of tons slowly sailed out of the slipway and headed for the outfitting dock tailored for her.

On the western pier, the noise abruptly stopped, and deafening applause erupted.

The moment before the giant ship entered the floating dock, the applause on the western pier was gone.

Ji Youguo appeared on the outfitting pier, and behind him were Premier Pang Xinglong, Defense Minister Zhao Rundong, Chief of General Staff Peng Maobang, Navy Commander Ying Changhui, and Acting Mayor of Shanghai Zong Yingren. When the Führer was the first to walk onto the makeshift podium, everyone's eyes shifted from the giant ship to the Führer.

There was a humming sound of electricity coming from the tweeter. The scene suddenly fell silent.

The first place to speak was not Ji Youguo. It's Zong Yingren. "Hello everyone. Welcome friends from all over the country and all walks of life to visit Jiangnan Changxing Shipyard. Join us in the era of a new earth. After three years of demonstration, four years of design, and five years of construction. The first aircraft carrier of the Republic has finally ushered in the day of launch. For the past 4,400 days and nights. More than 1,500 engineers and more than 15,000 workers work for the same goal and the same ideal. Fight hard, not afraid of difficulties, not afraid of challenges. With countless sweat, hard work and wisdom. It has written a glorious history that belongs to the entire Chinese nation. It has made arduous efforts for the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. Here we would like to thank ......"

Listen, listen, listen. There was a commotion in the crowd of spectators.

Ji Youguo frowned slightly. glanced at Pang Xinglong on the right-hand side.

The premier of the State Council appeared calm. I was very helpless in my heart.

Zong Yingren is a young cadre who has just been promoted. Half a year ago, he was the governor of Jinshan District. Because he is not good at officialdom. Two realms were done in the position of the district chief. I haven't been able to get promoted. In August last year, there was a storm of local government. He was one of the first Shanghai officials to disclose his personal property. Because of honesty and integrity. It has been valued by the central government. He was appointed acting mayor of Shanghai in September last year.

The acting mayor's speech lasted for 15 minutes.

When it was Ying Changhui's turn to take the stage, Peng Maobang and Zhao Rundong gave him a look at the same time.

“…… From today, the history of the Navy of the Republic with aviation without aircraft carriers will end; From today, the Navy of the Republic will officially transform from a coastal defense navy to an ocean-going offensive navy......"

Ying Changhui's speech was very brief, less than 3 minutes before and after.

Next, Peng Maobang and Zhao Rundong successively took the stage to speak.

When it was Pang Xinglongdi's turn, the prime minister did not move, but nodded to the Führer.

"Hello everyone, the prime minister has an occasional illness and an uncomfortable throat, let me speak for him, I'm Ji Youguo!" As soon as the Führer came to power, thunderous applause rang out in the spectator stands. Ji Youguo pressed his hand and said: "When New China was proclaimed, an era of darkness and chaos ended; At the end of the Korean War, an era in which imperialism was allowed to dominate China was over; When the reform began, an era of poverty and backwardness ended; Today, a new era will be opened in our hands! ”

The applause rang out again, and the audience seemed extremely excited.

Ji Youguo directly turned the speech to the last page, quickly glanced at it, and said: "A better future needs to be created by every Chinese son; National rejuvenation requires the joint struggle of every descendant of Yan and Huang. We have taken another step in the long march, but it is by no means the last step. In the future, we will build more aircraft carriers and build a stronger people's army to defend our motherland and our people! ”

The applause rang out for the third time, and the other officials behind Ji Youguo walked up to the podium at the same time.

Zong Yingren stepped forward and lifted the red curtain covering the remote control switch. Ji Youguo stepped forward, grabbed the handle of the switch, and nodded to the other people behind him. Pang Xinglong, Zhao Rundong, Peng Maobang and Ying Changhui stepped forward one after another and grabbed the handle of the remote control switch. Everyone worked hard together and pushed the handle of the remote control switch to the starting position.

This design is very interesting, changing from the normal downward pressure to pushing upwards.

As the motor started, the red curtain covering the starboard side of the bow of the giant ship slowly fell, revealing the three big characters "Republic".

Applause erupted again in the stands.

Hundreds of salutes placed on both sides of the aircraft carrier's flight deck were fired at the same time, scattering countless salutes into the air.

Amid cheers and cheers, the aircraft carrier "Republic" slowly sailed into the floating dock.

With the first influx of seawater, the "Republic" sounded its whistle.

, there was a thunderous sound.

J-10C and J-13B pulled out colored smoke bands, and a "Haijing 200 early warning aircraft" swept over the aircraft carrier and the audience platform. As the AWACS aircraft went away, the 8 fighters suddenly pulled straight up, forming a gorgeous colorful flower that suddenly bloomed.

The emotions of the audience were completely ignited, but the military attachés of the embassies of Western countries who were invited to come had a different feeling.

The aircraft carrier "Republic" did not have a jumping deck, and the appearance of the "Haijing 200" means that the "Republic" is a "real" aircraft carrier.

In 2005, the Republic was planning to build an aircraft carrier.

The demonstration work has been carried out for three years, mainly focusing on the displacement, the combination of the carrier aircraft and the take-off and landing mode of the carrier aircraft. These three points directly determine the combat capability of the airline.

The proposal to build a small aircraft carrier was first rejected, and the republic needed a medium or large aircraft carrier capable of carrying conventional fighters.

The combination of carrier aircraft was quickly determined, with fighters as the main and helicopters as the secondary.

The biggest question is the take-off and landing mode of the carrier aircraft, whether it is a sliding/blocking, or catapulting/blocking. Because it was impossible to purchase a steam catapult from the United States, the cost of self-development was too high (even more than the cost of the aircraft carrier itself), and it was difficult to develop an electromagnetic catapult in a short period of time.

After Ji Youguo came to power, he made adjustments to the design plan of the aircraft carrier and restarted the research and development of electromagnetic catapults.

In 2010, the design of the aircraft carrier's hull was basically completed, and the key fell on whether the electromagnetic catapult could be successfully developed in time. Thanks to the modular design and construction method, the construction of the hull can be carried out in advance.

At the beginning of 2012, the first steel plate of the "Republic" arrived at the Changxing Shipyard in Jiangnan, and the construction work officially began.

Until this time, it was believed that the first aircraft carrier of the Republic used a slip/block take-off and landing method.

Glide jump take-off is a reluctant choice without a catapult. When France built the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, it did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to import C-13-11 steam catapults from the United States. When the British designed the "Queen Elizabeth" class aircraft carrier, it was originally planned to use the F-35B fighter jet to adopt the take-off and landing method of glide take-off/vertical landing; After the official start of construction, it was changed to be equipped with F-35C fighters, and the take-off and landing method of electromagnetic catapult/blocking landing was adopted. Without exception, US aircraft carriers have adopted the ejection/interception take-off and landing method.

It can be seen from this that countries that have the ability to produce or purchase catapults will not use the skid jump take-off method on aircraft carriers.

There are many problems with glide take-off, and there are three main ones: First, fighter planes cannot take off with full load, and the combat radius and bomb load are seriously affected; second, the combat take-off efficiency of fighter aircraft is not high, which affects the combat efficiency of aircraft carriers; and third, the inability to carry fixed-wing carrier-based early warning planes greatly reduces the fleet's long-range early warning capability.

These three shortcomings are very evident on the Russian aircraft carrier "Kuznetsov".

Because of the limited take-off weight, the Su-33K fighter only has air defense combat capabilities and limited sea/ground attack capabilities, and its combat performance is far inferior to the carrier-based fighters of the US Navy, and even the Su-27 and Su-30 are not comparable. In the case of a maximum of 12 fighters in one sortie, the "Kuznetsov" has a displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and its combat effectiveness is less than half of that of the "Kitty Hawk" aircraft carrier, which has been decommissioned by the US Navy. Due to the lack of fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft, the "Kuznetsov" is not only equipped with heavy armament that exceeds that of cruisers, but also has to operate within the support range of large shore-based early warning aircraft, which greatly affects its ocean-going combat capability.

At best, an aircraft carrier that adopts the skid jump take-off method can be regarded as an air defense warship that mainly performs the air defense task of the fleet, and cannot be called an "aircraft carrier" that has both attack and defense and takes offense as its main task.

As the whole picture of the aircraft carrier "Republic" was displayed in front of everyone, the group of military attaches in the embassy stand once again sensationalized.

At least 270 meters of waterline length, enclosed hangar, three large lifts, beveled flight deck with outward drift, two island buildings in front and behind on the right side, no smoke k;!

The "Republic" is not only huge, but also very avant-garde!

The naval attachés of the United States, Russia, Great Britain and France immediately saw the hints of the "Republic".

The standard displacement is definitely more than 55,000 tons, the full load displacement is expected to exceed 65,000, nuclear-powered, at least three catapults, the number of standard carrier aircraft will not be less than, the maximum number of carrier aircraft is more than 70, and the combat capability exceeds the Russian "Kuznetsov", the French "Charles de Gaulle" and the British "Queen Elizabeth", second only to the US Navy's supercarrier.

The 10,000 descendants of Yan and Huang around the world were excited, and all the enemies who tried in vain to hinder the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation were terrified.

From this moment on, the republic officially entered the ranks of naval powers!

Damn it**
