With the heroes of the navy, the complete naval command can be established, and the naval structure can be quickly improved.

This is also the reason why Cai Ruichen has not been in a hurry with the navy all along.

Shipyards are not like the Navy and Air Force, which have build lists, but each shipyard is an independent build list.

As long as he has money, as long as he has slipways and soldiers, he can directly build a powerful naval fleet in a certain time.

Warships don't even need sea trials, and the Navy soldiers of the Red Guard Corps don't need any time to get used to the weapons.

As soon as the navy is completed and all the ammunition and weapons personnel are loaded on the warship, the combat effectiveness will be directly formed, and there is no need to conduct sea trials or adaptive training to form combat effectiveness, and this process can be completely reduced.

Otherwise, if all these have to be counted, Cai Ruichen feels that even forty years for himself is not enough.

It takes at least two or three generations of hard work, he can't wait that long, and others can't give him that much time.

And this is the advantage of the base, even more important than the advanced degree of science and technology.

……

Looking at the list of shipyards, the eight shipyards at the base are all lined with ships being built.

The Israeli government has ordered several missile boats, all of which have been built long ago, and the Iraqi Navy is currently undergoing sea trials.

This navy, which was left over from the Saddam period, is not very large. All these years have also been in a state of desolation.

Four missile boats delivered by Future Technology Group. It is also the only property that the Iraqi Navy can get its hands on at present.

The Iraqi Navy, which has almost no relevant training in peacetime. The advanced missile boats produced by this base cannot be used at all.

The soldiers of the Iraqi Navy, including officers, need to undergo relevant training, and it takes two or three years to form combat effectiveness.

You must know that this missile boat is an all-electric propulsion twin-hull warship, which is full of advanced combat systems and electronic equipment, just learning the operating system inside. It's not something that can be done in a short period of time.

The eight supersonic anti-ship missiles loaded on the missile boat, although the Future Science and Technology Group has not yet delivered them to the Iraqi Navy, the necessary learning has also begun, otherwise it is not so safe to operate these missiles.

The more advanced the weapon system is, the more it needs to be completed in accordance with the rules and regulations, otherwise there will be frequent accidents and even accidents, not to mention giving full play to the combat effectiveness of the weapon.

After the delivery of four missile boats of the Iraqi Navy, the shipyards that followed. All began to build an ocean-going fleet.

The transport company of the future, the infrastructure of the air-ground transport system. It has been completed, but there is a lack of a transportation system on the sea.

In order to accelerate the circulation of industry and commerce around the world, and to allow Future Technology Group to join the new world business model of the global village, maritime transportation is necessary.

And in the future, once you take control of Iraq, you will need to import even more things, after all, Iraq is a country where many resources are scarce. The annual import volume of various materials is more than 30 million tons.

The huge amount of imports cannot be completely resolved by ground transportation and air transportation alone.

It is also imperative to resolve the issue of maritime transport.

The development of the shipping industry, Cai Ruichen is not to grab business with the international shipping industry, but completely for his own development needs.

Once the speed of development increases in the future, he also needs to import mineral resources from outside, otherwise the natural resources within the radius of the base will be exhausted sooner or later.

If it is exploited without restraint, it will not even take twenty years, and all the places within the radius of the base will have no resources to use.

It would be tragic if at that time, once the navy was cut off by the enemy, the source of funds could be cut off, as was the case with Japan during World War II.

Therefore, Cai Ruichen also took these into account when formulating development, and the minerals around the base are to be developed, but they must be developed in a planned manner.

Until then, if resources can be purchased from other parts of the world, they will be used to support development.

Mineral resources in the vicinity of the base, which are exploited in a planned manner.

You must know that the information on the proven minerals in the base is the most complete, and there are almost no undiscovered minerals.

Unlike today's global exploration technology, the estimation of a mineral reserve is all about constantly re-evaluating after mining.

Under the scanning of the base, how many minerals there are, that is, how many minerals, there will be no unproven minerals at all.

So once the minerals around the base are mined, it's really slippery.

If the import of external resources is cut off, that is, it is really cut off.

At this stage, whether it is the development of maritime transportation or the construction of the Red Police Navy, one of the main purposes is to speed up exchanges and exchanges with various industries around the world.

As the saying goes, to get rich, you must first build roads, and sea transportation accounts for more than 70 percent of the weight of goods transported by all.

What Cai Ruichen needs is those 10,000-ton cargo ships with huge transportation capacity, and only with such transportation capacity can they improve efficiency and reduce costs when transporting those minerals.

Land transportation, that doesn't transport much at all.

If it weren't for the lack of time, and the need to do so, he would have planned to build an ore refinery directly in Basra or Tartus to recover the funds.

All the minerals that come by sea can be recovered nearby, so as not to be re-transported, wasting unnecessary costs.

Now, it is not necessary, and Cai Ruichen does not need to import minerals around the world in a short time.

Future technology groups have also shown interest in this area, and it is not too late to do this after the plan is gradually improved.

At present, four 50,000-ton bulk carriers and five container ships capable of carrying 5,000 containers are under construction in the eight dry docks.

Construction work is almost complete, and soon it will be ready to be launched for outfitting and the vacated dry dock will allow for the resumption of construction of other vessels.

With these eight cargo ships, the maritime transportation line of the future transportation company can also be opened quickly, and more products of the future technology group will be transported to various countries around the world.

After taking a look at the current construction progress of the eight cargo ships, Cai Ruichen chose two shipyards in Basra and chose two sea scorpions, as long as the cargo ships are built, the sea sions will start construction, and in about two months, they will be able to launch for sea trials.
