After the successful "Dang Kou" attack on France, Britain and France were temporarily honest. But everyone understands that the friction between China and these European powers will only increase, and there is almost no possibility of resolving the hatred.

However, neither France nor the United Kingdom currently has the strength to defeat China alone. Apart from the serious losses caused by World War I, the current influenza epidemic alone is enough for them to drink. Besides, the British currently have

, France and France, together with the United States, Japan and other countries, are busy carrying out armed intervention against the newly born Soviet Russia, the Republic of Turkey and other countries. The heroic Soviet Russian and Turkish soldiers and civilians have given them a headache. The outcome of the war is still difficult to predict. How can they still

Do you have the energy to consider dealing with China?

Until Britain's brewing plan to unite other countries to jointly fight against China is officially implemented, France can only swallow its anger, let alone other smaller European countries with weaker capabilities.

Therefore, after World War I, China entered a period of construction and development with the best domestic and international environment. Its sustainable development strategy was steadily implemented, and its comprehensive national strength continued to increase rapidly. As China grew rapidly,

Its image as a friendly, civilized, and powerful Eastern country has conquered more and more countries and people, and its influence on Asia, Africa, and even the entire world is growing.

The ocean, which was once the main way for various European powers to invade China and other countries in the world, has now become a channel for China to spread friendship. The growth of the National Defense Force and Navy has also made the original "Dragon Flagship" that once suffered wanton ravage by various powers to defend China's maritime borders.

"Having gained new life, the navy fleet of the National Defense Force flying the bright dragon flag has appeared increasingly frequently on the global oceans, acting increasingly aggressively in defending national interests.

The base camp of the "Dragon Flagship" is also the base camp of the National Defense Forces Navy - Lushun Naval Base is Kang Fan's second main office location. In addition to his constant inspections in various places for many years, Kang Fan almost spends the rest of his time at the Nankou Base and

Spent here.

Lushun City developed with the construction of Lushun Naval Base. It is surrounded by mountains and seas, has beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, and is very comfortable to live in. Kang Fan's permanent residence is a building located on Laoties Mountain southwest of Lushun Military Port.

Standing on the spacious terrace on the roof of the independent 3-story villa, you can see the vast blue sea, the zigzag green coast, the golden flat beach, the green rolling mountains, the harbor flanked by peaks, and the towering warships of all sizes in the harbor.

You can have a panoramic view of cranes, huge docks and shipyards, military camps, military schools, hospitals, roads, coastal defense positions, naval headquarters buildings, etc.

Mei Xiang, who grew up by the sea, of course also likes it here very much. Every year she always takes time to bring her children here to reunite with Kang Fan. The family climbs mountains, goes to the sea, plays, swims, has picnics, etc., so much fun!

The naval shipyard in the Lushun Naval Base is currently building the second batch of improved production models of the "Zhonghua" class aircraft carrier, the "Zhonghua-A" class. Kang Fan and Mei Xiang also participated in the launching ceremony of the first aircraft carrier of this class and personally

Name it "Shandong".

Compared with the prototype "Zhonghua" class, the "Zhonghua-A" class has been improved in all aspects. The full-load displacement has exceeded 40,000 tons. The number of carrier-based aircraft has increased to 120, making it more powerful. Therefore, it is planned to build 5 ships

, together with the three "Zhonghua" class ships already in service, form the core of the National Defense Force's navy's ocean-going strike fleet.

Among them, several large shipyards in the north have taken over the construction of all aircraft carriers of this class: Lushun Naval Shipyard built 2 ships, Dalian Shipyard, Vladivostok Shipyard and Tianjin Shipyard each built 1 ship. At the same time, these shipyards

It is also building other large combat ships of the Navy such as the "Jiang" class, "Hu" class, "Shan" class, etc., and is responsible for the construction and production of more than 80% of China's current civilian large ocean tankers, freighters, etc.

Capacity is almost saturated.

Therefore, the construction tasks of small and medium-sized naval combat ships and other types of auxiliary ships such as "Jiaolong", "Daqing", "Zhenhai", and "Feiyu" series were transferred to the shipyards in the south. Wuhan,

New naval shipbuilding bases centered on central cities in provinces along the rivers and coasts such as Shanghai, Fuzhou, Kaohsiung and Guangzhou have made the layout of the shipbuilding system more balanced and reasonable.

The "Dragon Flagship" is the result of the perfect combination of China's latest technology and strong industrial productivity, and its equipment and technology advantages are fully reflected. The formation of this force has given the National Defense Force the ability to project troops around the world through the ocean, and has

Any contemporary world power is a real deterrent: because without exception they are all maritime countries. Those old world powers that have always used the ocean as a ladder to plunder the world would never have thought that one day they would also face disaster.

The danger of crossing the ocean and crashing on their heads! It was now their turn to enjoy a privilege that had once been reserved only for the "god-forsaken wretches" they had plundered.

Faced with this grim situation, Britain must find ways to cultivate a stronger force in the Far East to contain China, just as she once cultivated Japan to successfully prevent Russia's eastward expansion.

But the current situation in the Far East is this: the original Tsarist Russia has now become Soviet Russia, and the Soviet Russian government has proactively announced the abolition of all unequal treaties that the Tsarist Russian government had imposed on the Qing government, and the return of all illegally occupied former territories.

The territory of the Qing Empire and the current China have clearly demarcated the national boundaries between the two sides based on their respective actual control areas, completely resolving the territorial issues between the two countries.

This friendly act of the Soviet Russian government also won China as a friend, and China was located in the rear of the Soviet Union. Taking advantage of the favorable terrain of the two countries being connected by land and sea, it immediately provided political, economic and military support to the Soviet Russian government.

The great support enabled the newly born socialist Soviet Russia to concentrate all its efforts on responding to the joint attacks of various capitalist powers and the old domestic forces of Tsarist Russia, and became stronger and stronger.

The current attitude of the United States is still unclear. On the one hand, it has always maintained good bilateral relations with China, with in-depth and extensive exchanges. On the other hand, China's expansion in the Pacific has stopped, and there is no irreconcilable conflict with the United States.

, for the United States, both sides can benefit from maintaining the status quo, so there will be no thoughts of launching a war against China for the time being.

Therefore, the UK’s current choice is still Japan.

Japan has been honest for a few years after being attacked by China, but its wolf spirit is still unquenchable and it is still trying every means to rearm itself. However, in the past few years, it has been suppressed by China in all aspects and has struggled. The British

This choice can help Japan get out of its current predicament.

The United Kingdom also believes that since Japan can defeat the powerful Russia with its own support, it should be able to defeat China again. What Japan needs is its own support, and this time it must be all-out support, because China is really now

It's very powerful!

Britain is an island country, separated from the European continent by the English Channel, and has a powerful global navy to protect its coast and overseas colonies. Therefore, the mainland was not damaged by the war in World War I, and its industrial system was completely preserved.

and strong muscles, it is still the strongest country in Europe. As long as the blood supply to its overseas colonies continues, the national strength can be restored quickly. If it can have a few more helpers, it will have the strength to launch a comprehensive challenge to China, which is China's true strength.

opponent.

The United Kingdom has British India in Asia, the largest, most populous, and most abundant natural resource colony in Asia, and two states in South Asia - Australia and New Zealand. If the Japanese archipelago is added to it, the United Kingdom can

With the north and south facing China, the situation became favorable to Britain.

Therefore, after the First World War, Britain quickly closed its alliance with Japan and took the initiative to win the support of Australia and New Zealand. At the same time, it tried its best to persuade the United States to join this camp, and successively united France, Germany, and Italy.

Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Canada, and several colonial countries in southern Africa and West Asia have established a multinational alliance with the purpose of containing China and openly confront China.

The United States, another world power across the ocean, has become a friend that China must win over in the new era. At least it cannot allow the United States to join the camp of Britain, France and other countries and become China's enemy. Therefore, in further stabilizing and strengthening bilateral relations with the United States,

While maintaining friendly relations, it is also necessary to use force as a deterrent in a timely manner. Therefore, Kang Fan decided to follow the National Defense Forces Navy's visiting formation to conduct a friendly visit to the United States.

This formation is composed of 2 "Daqing-Ding" class cruisers, 1 "Shan" class amphibious dock landing ship and 1 "Hu" class ocean comprehensive supply ship. The third-class ships are all designed to carry the "Sea Wolf" carrier

The necessary modifications were made to the helicopter.

"Sea Wolf" is the carrier-based model of the "Flying Wolf" series of military helicopters. It is the only carrier-based helicopter series currently equipped by the National Defense Forces and the Navy. There are patrol/anti-submarine types and general service types. The characteristics of this series of helicopters

The main rotor is changed to a folding type, which can be folded on the top of the fuselage in a "one" shape, greatly reducing the parking space. It can be carried by medium and large ships currently in service of the National Defense Force and Navy.

The modified "Daqing-Ding" class cruiser added a helicopter hangar and flight deck between the rear mast and the 130mm stern turret, which can provide a "Sea Wolf" carrier-based patrol/anti-submarine aircraft for this class of ship.

Type helicopters provide take-off and landing, combat, repair and maintenance support. The National Defense Force and Navy plan to carry out such modifications on all the "Daqing-Ding" class cruisers currently in service. One-third of them have been modified and the rest will be modified within 2 years.

Finish.

The "Lake" class ocean-going comprehensive supply ship has removed part of the superstructure at the stern and also set up a hangar and flight deck. The two "Sea Wolf" general service types it carries can hang 4 tons of supplies under the belly.

The ship conducts vertical replenishment in the air, which greatly improves the replenishment efficiency.

The "Shan" class dock landing ship has completely converted the upper deck of the dock located in the middle and rear of this class ship into a flight operation area. It has a large hangar and a wide flight deck. Up to 1,000 people can be parked in the hangar and on the flight deck at the same time.

6 "Sea Wolves". These helicopters can transport the personnel or light weapons, equipment and supplies carried by the ship directly to the shore from the air, while the four "Turbo" class general-purpose landing craft carried by the ship can be transported from

The combination of transporting the heavy weapons and equipment loaded on the ship ashore by sea, air and sea, has completely freed the National Defense Forces from the constraints of unfavorable terrain on landing operations.

The two "Daqing-Ding" class cruisers in the visiting fleet are the "Fuzhou" and the "Kaohsiung", which belong to the East China Sea Fleet of the National Defense Forces headquartered on Taiwan Island. They are accompanied by a "Hu" class ocean-going comprehensive supply ship.

The ship "Poyang Lake" belongs to the North Sea Fleet headquartered on Sakhalin Island, and the "Shan" class amphibious dock landing ship "Changbaishan" belongs to the South China Sea Fleet headquartered on Hainan Island. All three fleets of the National Defense Force and Navy have

The participation of warships and personnel can test the proficiency of joint operations between fleets.

Kang Fan was riding the "Changbai Mountain" this time, and the ship was loaded with the latest tractors and freight trucks produced in China, six each.

After Judy's parents moved to the United States from South Africa, they used up their life savings to buy a large farm in the affluent Central Valley of California. However, the two old people were unable to run it, so Judy, Captain Lee and Donovan started working on it one after another.

The whole family moved here. It's not far from Donovan's parents' home and his wife's parents' home, so it's very convenient to travel there. And Donovan's three American companions have spent all their savings since breaking up with Donovan.

Nothing was accomplished, and he had to return to Donovan in the end. In this way, the farm became more prosperous day by day.
