Moreover, he is not an old-school leader who only knows how to work hard. On the contrary, he has received advanced Western education and has a very solid theoretical foundation.

Whether it is in military strategy or logistics technology, he can be called an expert.

In the past, when attending cocktail parties, whenever someone mentioned his son, they were full of praise.

This is definitely not because of me, because several times, he heard someone refer to himself as "Ruan Huakai's father".

He didn't feel any offense, but felt proud.

But what made him helpless was that his son was a complete radical, especially when dealing with maritime issues. The strategies he proposed were a headache not only for himself, but also for other younger generation officers.

Once, he even proposed to conduct another local war at sea to completely expand the actual control line.

This proposal met with opposition from everyone as soon as it was put forward, but Ruan Huakai did not flinch at all and started a verbal battle in front of several generals.

Ruan Yongliang even suspected that if he hadn't stopped him in time, he might have been able to convince a few people.

Thinking of this, he sighed again, lowered his voice and said:

"I'm not kidding you. I know your ambitions, but the problem is that some things are not something that can be rushed."

"Just like this time, you thought we got rid of them and took advantage, but in fact, in order to deal with the consequences you caused, we also paid a price in other aspects."

"In the future, I will never be impulsive again."

"Give us old guys some more time. In 10 years, it will be your time to show off your talents."

Hearing his father's earnest words, Ruan Huakai's tone softened.

"Well, I did not think carefully this time."

"Actually, I really don't intend to have a head-on conflict with them. I just want to remove their flag and teach them a lesson."

"But I didn't expect them to come so quickly. To be honest, our counterattack was also forced."

"If we don't take action, our own brothers will be injured."

Ruan Yongliang nodded and said approvingly:

"It's good that you have this idea. In the army, you have to protect your comrades at all costs."

"But again, use your brain more in the future. There is more than one way to solve the problem."

Ruan Huakai nodded solemnly and then said:

"That's exactly what I'm telling you, I have a new strategy."

"What strategy?"

Ruan Yonghao asked curiously.

According to his experience, every time his son proposes "strategies", although most of them are quite radical, they often do have extremely practical value. Even if they cannot be used directly, they can still be flexibly modified.

Overall, he is a qualified decision-maker.

Therefore, he wanted to hear what his son would say this time.

"Don't you think the efficiency of our reclamation and island building is too low?"

Ruan Yongliang was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously:

"Is it low?"

“Ridiculously low.”

"According to my estimate, the area we build every year is less than 5,000 square meters. You probably think this number is huge, right? But in fact, a standard football field is 7,140 square meters."

"That is to say, we can't even build a football field in one year, using thousands of people and hundreds of ships of various types."

"More importantly, these 5,000 square meters are not really concentrated in one place. They are scattered over an extremely vast ocean."

"The area that can really be utilized will actually not exceed 2,000 square meters."

"It's so slow. It's so slow that I don't know the meaning of its existence."

"Perhaps when we come back to see it the next year, the islands built the previous year have already been eroded by the waves."

Ruan Yongliang's eyes widened in surprise. He never thought that the situation on the sea was so bad.

"What's the reason? Corruption?"

"no."

Ruan Huakai shook his head and continued to answer:

"It's just that our equipment is too backward."

"Most of those vessels are ordinary fishing boats, with only a few small sand dredgers and transport ships."

"The role these ships can play at sea is extremely limited, and it is normal for them to be inefficient."

"Then what's your suggestion?"

Ruan Yongliang had already guessed what his son was going to say, but he still planned to let him say it himself.

"It's very simple, update the equipment."

"We need new sand dredgers, and they are large cutter suction sand dredgers that can be used at sea."

Ruan Huakai replied immediately.

"Where to import? How much does it cost?"

This was Ruan Yongliang's first reaction. In his opinion, all equipment does not have the option of "making".

"No, we can't buy it this time."

"We have to make it ourselves, because there is no suitable exporter for this kind of equipment in the world, and even if we find it, it will be very expensive."

"Considering economics, we must master the technology ourselves."

Hearing this, Ruan Yongliang frowned.

Master the technology yourself?

It sounds simple, but looking at the country, which research institute has such technology?

If the project is forcibly launched for research and development, the final result will probably be to fatten up a large number of civil servants in the field of scientific research, and then it will be completely unfinished.

Seemingly sensing Ruan Yongliang's worries, Ruan Huakai smiled slightly and said:

"Don't worry, father."

"I've already made plans."

"This time, although we want to make it ourselves, we don't need independent research and development."

"There is a company in Germany called VOSTA LMG. We can introduce them and let them be responsible for the overall design."

"And we just need to sit back and enjoy its achievements."
