Chapter 1054
: High-Level Talents Return Home, Ushering in a New Era for Dragon Xia
Su Dingping is the kind of key figure who can create miracles, and the other party is really capable!
It is because of him that the Navy has the confidence to be the main force today.
The Air Force now has advanced reconnaissance aircraft, and the aero-engine development is also being gradually resolved. Su Dingping is in charge of all of this, and he's anxious about it.
"Reporting, sir, we are temporarily unable to contact Commander Su!"
The guard replied with a serious expression, "According to the information from Colonel Zhang, Chief Su has not appeared for some time."
"How could this be?"
Deng Zhenhua felt a chill run through him as he paced back and forth in his office.
Originally, he was considering asking Su Dingping to see what new equipment was available there, but now it seems that the plan is probably off.
"Damn it, our army is supposed to be the leader of the three services, but it's probably going to become the last one at the bottom in the future. How can this be?"
"This is infuriating!"
After a brief pause, Deng Zhenhua suddenly stopped and said with a serious expression, "Tell me, what kind of force is the Strategic Support Force? Why was there no news about it before?"
"Reporting to the commander."
The staff officer standing nearby quickly reminded him, "Sir, you've forgotten, several leaders mentioned the Strategic Support Force during a meeting last year. As for its specific responsibilities, I don't have any further information at the moment."
"You mean the meeting last year?"
At this point, Deng Zhenhua fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed so deeply they could have trapped a fly.
A moment later, he suddenly slapped his thigh: "How could I have forgotten about this?"
That's right, it was at the All-Army Strategic Conference, where Su Dingping proposed the second step of the three-step strategy for the three services, and one chapter of it specifically mentioned the Strategic Support Force!
The primary responsibility of this unit is to provide strategic support to the army, navy, and air force.
This involves the "sky" in the context of sea, land, air, space, and electricity, which refers to outer space.
As for the field of 'electricity', there is no conclusion yet, but it is under discussion, and a solution is expected to be available soon.
In any case, the Eagle Tribe was the first to apply 'sky' and 'electricity' to the military field and achieved fruitful results. As for the Dragon Summer Tribe, it will naturally take some time to explore them.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once a specific direction is explored, a specific plan will be developed, and then it will be implemented.
For the Longxia army, without so much historical baggage, the transformation was naturally very quick, a feat that no other country's army on Earth could match!
"Have you reported all the intelligence I asked you to report before?"
Suddenly, Deng Zhenhua seemed to remember something and turned to look at the staff officer beside him.
"Reporting to the commander, everything has been reported truthfully," the operations staff officer hurriedly replied.
"Is there any news from above yet?" Deng Zhenhua asked again.
"Reporting to the commander, we have not received it yet."
The staff officer responded truthfully.
After listening, Deng Zhenhua did not express any opinion, but pursed his lips.
The intelligence he had previously asked his operations staff to report was information from the army commanders at the Dragon Claw Island garrison during the previous conflict in the Eastern Seas.
At that time, the deployment of the three armed forces had already begun, but information exchange was not smooth. That's when he received this news.
Joint operations rely heavily on the efficiency of coordination among the three branches of the armed forces.
If efficiency remains as slow as before, it will naturally lead to missing the best opportunity.
In response to this drawback, the garrison's army commanders put forward some suggestions. However, this matter involved top-level design and the construction of a unified network for the entire army, so Deng Zhenhua naturally could not make a direct decision.
Therefore, he immediately instructed his operations staff to report the situation to his superiors, directly to Commander Xue.
Currently, the three branches of the armed forces are all independent systems, and the three leaders can command their respective branches of the armed forces to conduct operations very smoothly.
However, once it comes to the higher level of joint operations among the three armed forces, the importance of information interconnection becomes apparent.
However, this requires building a highly secure communication network, which exposes the difficulties and necessitates discussion and technical implementation!
"I haven't received a reply yet. Keep an eye on it and report back to me as soon as you receive one."
After a moment of contemplation, Deng Zhenhua gave the order directly to the operations staff.
"Yes, sir!"
The operations staff officer immediately accepted the order.
About five minutes later, feeling increasingly uneasy, Deng Zhenhua picked up the secure phone and personally called the naval integrated military factory.
The call was answered by Wan Long, the person in charge of security at the naval integrated military factory. He immediately responded that he could not contact Su Dingping at the moment!
Upon hearing the news, Deng Zhenhua was filled with resentment, but he had no choice but to abandon his idea of relying on Su Dingping.
Meanwhile, Su Dingping, whom Deng Zhenhua was keeping an eye on, didn't play around. Instead, he stayed in the Military Industry Illustrated Forging Space, busy tackling the key technologies of the 120,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
In the shipyard of the military industrial encyclopedia, the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier has been forged, and next to it is the Varyag aircraft carrier.
If viewed from the air, one would certainly notice that the USS Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is significantly larger in both size and deck area, and its island superstructure is quite small.
For aircraft carriers, where deck space is extremely valuable, a smaller island superstructure can save a significant amount of deck area!
"Analysis of relevant technologies of pressurized water nuclear reactor technology".
Su Dingping held a thesis in his hand, his brows furrowed, flipping through it from time to time, while he was already in the engine room several decks below the Enterprise aircraft carrier.
There is a replica of a nuclear reactor here, and the relevant slope diagrams inside are fully displayed.
Recently, he has focused his main efforts on the technical analysis of "pressurized water nuclear reactors". Once he has mastered this nuclear reactor, the power supply for large ships will be basically solved.
The upgrade and transformation of the 10,000-ton destroyer had actually been planned in his mind for a long time.
The main features include the deployment of electromagnetic railguns on ships, the use of directed energy weapons, the deployment of large microwave weapons, and a new electromagnetic catapult vertical launch system. In short, this is a formidable force whose performance far surpasses that of the previous generation of 10,000-ton destroyers.
Once the navy is equipped with such a new generation of 10,000-ton destroyers, its combat capabilities will definitely be elevated to a new level!
With nuclear power as the standard configuration, a 10,000-ton destroyer can easily conduct global operations, and even if it comes to the doorstep of the Eagle Tribe, there is no need to worry about the power problem.
Of course, this type of main combat equipment is specifically designed for the navy to conduct operations in the open ocean. The equipment required for the shift from coastal defense to open ocean operations is completely different.
A single 10,000-ton destroyer can operate in the waters between the first and second island chains, but to directly deter the homeland of the U.S. Eagle Tribe, a more powerful engine is needed.
Therefore, the "pressurized water nuclear reactor" has become a power plant that must be mastered as soon as possible. Once mastered, it can be used not only by surface ships but also by submarines.
With submarine escort, the new generation of 10,000-ton destroyers will be even more powerful!
The Navy's second phase of its strategy is nearing completion, and this type of power plant will be needed when it moves into the third phase.
To break through the three island chains of defense set up by the Eagle Tribe, we must have more powerful surface ships!
Without solving the fuel problem, true long-range ocean operations cannot be achieved.
To put it in perspective, the amount of fuel needed to cross the Pacific Ocean is astronomical!
For example, Zhou Qinglei led the naval expeditionary fleet on a long journey to the European waters and then back, covering tens of thousands of kilometers.
Without the numerous large replenishment ships that were brought along, it would have been very difficult to complete this mission.
These replenishment ships also conducted replenishment at ports along the way.
Of course, this is mainly due to the lack of overseas bases, but it also exposes the shortcomings of the power system.
If it is powered by a nuclear reactor, then there is no need to refuel midway; only some dry goods need to be resupplyed, so it does not expose too much time to the enemy.
Once the power problem is solved, the naval fleet can freely and leisurely sail across the vast oceans of the Blue Star!
Su Dingping continued to flip through the papers in his hands, pondering. Then, with a casual gesture, several of the latest foreign papers appeared in front of him.
These are all related to research on "pressurized water nuclear reactor" technology, and they are all cutting-edge technologies.
"It seems we'll need a little more time."
Su Dingping frowned from time to time. "Time waits for no one."
Time is of the essence for the Longxia army; the great powers will not wait for anyone!
He knew very well that with the victory in this battle in the Eastern Continent sea area, the Western powers, led by the Eagle Tribe, would definitely intensify their deterrence against the Dragon Summer Tribe.
Moreover, he also conducted a comprehensive review of the war.
There is a great deal of luck involved in achieving such a great victory.
If it were a true head-on confrontation, a contest of raw power, then the Longxia Navy would be at a disadvantage.
As a leader in military technology, Su Dingping must always maintain an extremely clear mind. While everyone is cheering and celebrating the victory, he needs to review the situation, find the shortcomings, and then make targeted improvements.
Meanwhile, in the distant Indian Ocean, Zhou Qinglei was leading an expeditionary fleet on a high-altitude voyage, ready to strike any invading enemy at any moment!
After crossing the Indian Ocean and then the Strait of Malacca, they would directly enter the waters belonging to the Longxia tribe, bringing them even closer to their home.
Inside the main control room of the flagship 123 million-ton destroyer, a communications soldier is receiving location information from relevant sources.
"Captain, we are 52 hours away from home."
Once the calculations were completed, the communications soldier would report immediately.
"it is good."
Zhou Qinglei picked up his binoculars and peered into the distant sea before ordering, "The entire ship must remain on high alert, and relevant units must be prepared for any potential enemy activity."
That's right, the more critical the moment, the more vigilant we need to be.
Especially India, and there are also enemy submarines lurking underwater; these are all things we need to guard against.
Of course, in addition to these threats, the safety of transport ships also needs to be considered.
On the transport ship, there were a large number of overseas compatriots, as well as high-level talents who came back to China this time.
"Pay close attention to the safety of the transport ship; absolutely no accidents can be tolerated."
A moment later, Zhou Qinglei gave him a special instruction.
"Yes, Captain!"
After receiving the order, the communications soldier immediately relayed the relevant commands.
As a 10,000-ton destroyer, the 123 ship not only possesses strong combat capabilities but also strong command capabilities, maintaining interconnection and interoperability with other ships through data links!
Zhou Qinglei's concerns were reasonable; the Tear-Off Tribe was no pushover.
Previously, when he led the expeditionary fleet to the Europa Sea, the Indian tribes were instigated by the Eagle tribe and other Europa-related tribes to launch various attacks against them.
The purpose is self-evident: to locate the expeditionary fleet.
In the end, he had to order the Indian reconnaissance planes to be shot down to prevent the location information from being leaked.
For now, discovery means destruction.
In other words, once the location information is exposed, the fleet will face fierce artillery fire from the enemy, and the fleet will be in danger of being destroyed.
This journey home must be flawless for the expeditionary fleet; there can be absolutely no mishaps.
Another point is that when heading to the Europa Sea area, the fleet possesses superb stealth capabilities, which allows it to completely evade enemy detection.
However, the fleet now includes several cruise ships and other vessels that lack stealth capabilities.
In this way, they become even easier to be detected and located by road-based long-range early warning radar.
In fact, Zhou Qinglei's worries were not unfounded.
The Indian king has received intelligence from the military department, saying that they have detected the location of the Longxia naval expeditionary fleet and are asking whether to take any action.
With no more backers instigating him, the Indian king naturally calmed down and did not act rashly.
He had previously sent a reconnaissance plane that was shot down, and he sought an explanation, or compensation, from Western countries, but they had no intention of providing any compensation.
In short, it's all for nothing; they should just accept their bad luck.
Having been fooled once, the Indian king has come to understand the realities of the international arena and knows he can no longer afford to offend the Longxia tribe.
"Let them go, ignore them."
The Indian king exhaled a breath of stale air, saying with considerable displeasure, "Several of our reconnaissance planes were shot down, and neither the Eagle Tribe nor those bastards from Europe offered any compensation! Fuck!" (End of Chapter)
