Jiang Feng left Yuhang City and went to Mingzhu City alone, while Meng Tong returned to Beijing. She is not like Jiang Feng. It is holiday now and she still has to go to work.

Jiang Feng went to Mingzhu City not to play, but to attend the launch ceremony of the first missile destroyer manufactured by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group.

Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group Group began the development and production of ships since acquiring Jiangnan Shipyard at the beginning of last year. In fact, before that, Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group had established a missile destroyer research and development team, but the research and development work was simulated through computers, which can be said to be a paper talk. Only after the acquisition of Jiangnan Shipyard did the research and development work officially begin.

The first missile destroyer produced by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group was named Type 053 by the military. This is a new ship that surpassed all missile destroyers before the Chinese Navy, with very strong combat power. This missile destroyer has a standard displacement of 10,800 tons, a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, a length of 168 meters, a width of 22.8 meters, and a draft of 6.8 meters. The power system is also provided by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group. Four gas turbines can provide a powerful horsepower of 158,000 horsepower, which is enough to make this behemoth with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons reach a terrifying speed of 35 knots, and a cruising capacity of 5,800 nautical miles in 27 knots. The full crew on the ship is 420.

Of course, the powerful combat power of this giant ship is not because it is large enough, nor because of its strong power, nor because of its manned capacity, but because of its weapon system. It is equipped with two missile vertical launch devices developed by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group and launches the latest "North Wind" cruise missile developed by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group. This is a new cruise missile with inertia plus GPS and infrared imaging guidance, which can break through any missile interception system in the world today. At the same time, it can also launch the "Lightning" ship-to-air missile also developed by Jiangzhou Heavy Industry Group. This missile system has all-weather, medium-range, medium-low altitude, range of 88 kilometers, and a maximum height of 28 kilometers. The missile length is 4.88 meters. The missile diameter is 320 mm, the wingspan is 1.08 meters, the missile weighs 580 kilograms, and the maximum speed is Mach 5. It adopts the guidance method of inertia/radio command + semi-active search.

It can be said that this kind of destroyer is the most powerful destroyer in the world today, with the most powerful weapon system and the best maneuverability. It is also the best defender of the aircraft carrier that the Navy is planning.

The comprehensive national strength of a country is reflected in the basis of some large industries. The strength of the aerospace industry is destined to become a world power. The maritime strategy has been an important part of hegemony for a hundred years. Without a strong navy, the United States will not have the status of a superpower, and military deterrence will always be the first priority. Just like our republic, it has never made any promises to use force when solving the South China Sea issue. If there is no promise, the republic will use force when necessary.

In the future war, air strikes are the first component and the tactical entity of the first echelon. The deterrent part of missiles is the second echelon at strategic height. When the role of the first echelon is not effective, the country may use missile forces covering the global scope. Of course, this may cause greater conflicts, so the national force value must be held.

The importance of the aerospace industry is self-evident. Countries that do not produce these heavy armed equipment will never stand up straight, let alone there is no war in this world. In fact, wars have continued to happen until now. Hegemony occupies an extremely important position in the international strategies of some countries. This is a manifestation of the maximization of national interests. If you don’t pursue others, you are pursuing it.

To be honest, if you don’t develop, you will be beaten passively. Others will surpass you, and in the future you will become a paradise.

As a rebirth, Jiang Feng understood the significance of force deterrence. A great person once said, "The gun is out of power, and it is the only truth. In some civil strife in the Middle East and North Africa, who would have no choice but to use the gun to take over the government? Can the mouth take over the world?

Money is of little significance to Jiang Feng. He can earn the strength of this country. He is very happy to lose everything and squat on the street to sell cabbage.

In Jiang Feng's military concept, he placed his hope for national improvement, and the main content was to plan and build the aircraft carrier of the Republic. In the world competition for hegemony with the first sea power, there is no right to speak without an aircraft carrier. The reason why the United States is powerful is because it has super strength at sea. The aircraft carrier it owns accounts for 50% of the world's total. How do you fight against others? Don't say you have nuclear weapons, don't be afraid of them, are they not? Do you want to try it?

The Republic is a powerful one, with only more than 400 nuclear warheads. How much is the difference compared to the 6,000 nuclear warheads of the United States?

Why do the United States still have to build a bunch of aircraft carriers with 6,000 nuclear bombs? Isn’t this a waste of money? In fact, nuclear bombs are the supreme deterrent. In reality, those aircraft carriers are the real ones that bully you. No one will use nuclear weapons, which will destroy humanity.

A true power cannot do without an aircraft carrier. The Republic is a permanent member of the United Nations. How can it be a waste of time without an aircraft carrier? Even countries like Spain and Thailand have aircraft carriers. How can we bear it? Even if they are light aircraft carriers.

In Jiang Feng's memory, the Varyag, which transformed Russia in the Republic's first aircraft carrier, was stranded due to the collapse of the former Soviet Union, and Russia's aircraft carrier was thrown in Ukraine. The two sides did not reach an agreement and the aircraft carrier could not be built. We bought it and spent US$20 million to buy a semi-finished product from Ukraine, but it was the first aircraft carrier in our Republic.

Jiang Feng was not satisfied with this. He stared at the American cargo. They were all nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of 100,000 tons. We cannot be satisfied with a non-nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. Of course, under the current domestic conditions, it would be quite good to transform the Varyag. Due to various technical and strategic configurations, we cannot create such powerful things.

However, with the emergence of Lingxi Ring, Jiang Feng's goal is more than that. His standard positioning of the plan to develop aircraft carriers was initially higher than the most advanced aircraft carriers in the United States. Jiang Feng boldly sets the specifications and parameters of the aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 120,000 tons, and adopts a nuclear reactor power system, with a total length of 350 meters and a width of 80 meters. The minimum power requirement is more than 300,000 yuan. The two such aircraft carriers are initially estimated to cost up to 30 billion US dollars, which is amazing.

Of course, this number has a lot of moisture. The most advanced aircraft carrier in the United States costs only US$4.5 billion, and Jiang Feng is estimated to be high.

Compared with the 3 trillion yuan (RMB) of the Republic's central government's fiscal revenue, it is also scary. The investment of US$30 billion to build aircraft carriers is equivalent to RMB 225 billion at the exchange rate of 1 to 7.5. The total military expenditure of the Republic in 2006 was US$35.1 billion, Khan!

The main problem is technical limitations. It is not that we have no money to build it. It is worth spending $30 billion to build two contemporary first-class aircraft carriers. In terms of the lifespan of the aircraft carrier, serving for half a century is not a problem, and it is worth investing in the long run.

Although there are technologies provided by Lingxijie, it is still a big problem to implement these technologies in reality. In Jiang Feng's view, it would be good to be able to launch these two aircraft carriers within five years.

Speaking of which, the birth of two aircraft carriers invested 30 billion US dollars in five years is exciting, but in fact, the possibility of realization is not high. Even if there is no financial difficulty, we still lack things in the high-tech field. The Varyag bought from Ukraine alone brought 300,000 pieces of technical information, weighing more than 20 tons. Think about how difficult it is to study it thoroughly?

Jiang Feng was helpless, this was all the poor foundation. If it were changed to the United States, he would have provided complete technology and fully understood these things, it would probably take one or two years? Even if it was made, it would be almost the same for three or four years, right?

But this is reality and it does not change based on Jiang Feng's subjective opinion.

In another place, the technology provided by Jiangfeng is becoming a reality at a faster speed, that is, in the military factory of the South China Republic. In that place where Jiangfeng can completely dominate, there is a series of tools that transcend the times created by Jiangfeng through Lingxi Rings, which transforms the information provided by Lingxi Rings into things in a nearly fully automated way. Jiangfeng estimates that in about two years, the aircraft carrier of the South China Republic will be launched. This is an aircraft carrier that is more advanced than Jiangfeng in the domestic aircraft carrier plan.

The water load and displacement are as high as 150,000 tons, but the powerful nuclear-powered engine can still push its speed to a terrifying speed of 33 knots. Of course, these development actions were carried out under complete confidentiality. Jiang Feng knew very well that once the development actions were exposed, it would definitely attract many oppositions from many parties led by the United States, and even launch a crackdown. After all, South China's independence was opposed by the United States at the beginning, but it was just that it did not launch force interference. Jiang Feng did not want the Republic of South China to become the second Afghanistan or Iraq.

In addition to a series of military generals, there were also No. 1 and 2 people from Mingzhu City, Municipal Party Committee Secretary Xue Yuanshan and Mayor Ding Yongjun.

Xue Yuanshan looked at the young people surrounded by a series of military sieges, and his feelings were a bit complicated. Speaking of which, he was able to come to Mingzhu to serve as the secretary of the municipal party committee two years in advance and enter the Politburo, thanks to this young man. If Jiang Feng had not launched that incident and brought down Cai Longyang, Xue Yuanshan would not have been able to enter the Politburo at the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China last year.
