Great warships

Chapter 1173 003 aircraft carrier enters port

"This plane looks like our IL-76, but it's a little different." In the small building, Nikolai watched the transport plane land and take off, and couldn't help but be curious.

"That's not the case." Qin Tao said, "This aircraft is the Yun-Ten aircraft developed by ourselves."

"Did you develop it yourself?" Nicholas was surprised: "Can you build a large transport aircraft yourself?"

For a country, large transport aircraft are of strategic significance. With large transport aircraft, they can complete strategic airlift missions and quickly transport various equipment to their destinations. At the same time, large transport aircraft can also carry out various modifications, such as early warning aircraft, Aerial tankers, etc., can all be improved by transport aircraft.

Although this kind of transport aircraft is very important, there are very few countries in the world that can produce transport aircraft. To be precise, there are only two. Even Europe can only build an A140M with a maximum take-off weight of 400 tons. The island country’s C- 2 transport aircraft, the maximum take-off weight is one ton more than it, which is already very difficult.

To become a strategic transport aircraft, the maximum take-off weight must exceed two hundred tons. Only in this way can a main battle tank be transported at one time. Although it is very wasteful, it must have this ability.

In the past, Dongfang's largest transport aircraft was the Y-8, with a maximum take-off weight of only 50 or 60 tons. The improved Y-9, with a maximum take-off weight of less than 80 tons, could not become a strategic transport aircraft at all.

The Y-20 was finally built, and Dongfang became the third transport aircraft in the world that can produce a take-off weight of more than 200 tons!

Of course, it is still in the testing phase and has not been officially announced to the outside world. Nicholas is not a full-time intelligence officer, so it is normal that he has not heard of it.

"Of course, we have to build large transport aircraft ourselves. After all, there is no way to outsource it." Qin Tao sighed with emotion.

Although Da Mao has integrated the aviation industry, it has not been able to integrate the production of large transport aircraft, because according to the arrangement of the Red Empire, the IL-76 was produced in Tashkent, and even some parts of the An-124 were also produced there. After the collapse of the empire, it was impossible to restore production there. Lao Maozi could only move to their country, but he could never regain his original glory.

After Lao Maozi is integrated in the first decade of the 10st century, only 76 IL-90MD-As will be produced in the next decade, with an average annual output of only one. It is simply not enough for Lao Maozi's own use, let alone exit.

It's ridiculous that the old man once tried to sell Dongfang, hoping to use Dongfang's funds to restart the IL-76 production line. Fortunately, Dongfang was not fooled, otherwise the money would have been paid and the transport aircraft would not be produced, and all the money would have been wasted.

Now, looking at Lucky Twenty, Qin Tao is also filled with excitement. His motherland lacks everything!

At night, the wind blew and there was a whining sound in the base. Qin Tao had some insomnia, but Nicholas did not fall asleep either. He tossed and turned as if he was thinking about something.

Although Nicholas also brought some entourage over, and according to his level, he must sleep in a single room, but Nicholas likes to live with Qin Tao and chat.

"Qin, when do you think our country will return to its former strength?" Nicholas suddenly asked.

"If you mean the former Red Empire by being powerful, that will never be possible." Qin Tao said: "But you can go your own way and restore your glory!"

You definitely can’t attack, you must support.

The night wind continued to howl, and they both fell asleep. I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden roar outside.

The plane is coming so soon?

Both of them stood up and rubbed their eyes. When they looked again, it was already dawn outside!

"Let's go over and take a look." Nicholas got dressed quickly. Although he had been a leader for many years, he still dressed as fast as a new recruit.

"Don't worry. Although the sound is loud, the number is obviously not large. I think eight or nine are the leaders' planes."

Sure enough, when the two of them went out and arrived at the airport, they saw that it was a Tu-104 passenger plane, a special plane often used by navy leaders. Looking at this plane, Qin Tao felt a sense of urgency. After flying for more than ten years, the plane was already very old. It's old and should be eliminated. We must build large aircraft faster and strive to provide naval leaders with an advanced special aircraft as soon as possible!

Nicholas looked at the plane and was a little curious. He thought for a moment: "Qin, is this the batch from more than ten years ago?"

"Yes, that's the group." Qin Tao nodded: "We in the East have a glorious tradition. It takes three years for the new, three years for the old, and another three for mending."

"Your navy is equipped with so many advanced fighters, but your navy leaders are reluctant to change their own landline phones. It is really admirable." Nicholas said.

On Damao's side, when they have money, the leaders must first enjoy it themselves, and these leaders in the East are really high-spirited and upright.

After hearing what Nicholas said, Qin Tao also sighed: "Yes, it is precisely because of this that our navy is so powerful."

While they were talking, the plane had stopped, and a group of leaders got off the plane, and there was actually a military band! They quickly set up their formation. It seemed that even if the navy's carrier-based aircraft did not arrive for the time being, it would be coming soon.

One of the leaders looked around, then looked at Qin Tao and Nicholas, with a smile on his face, and walked over.

The two of them also came forward.

"Nicholas, welcome," Wu Shengli said, "You participated in the launching ceremony of our aircraft carrier, and this time you participated in our commissioning ceremony, which reflects the great friendship between us."

"I am very happy to participate in the commissioning ceremony of this kind of aircraft carrier." Nikolai said: "You Dongfang has developed so fast, it is really enviable!"

"Dad." Qin Tao just shouted.

Wu Shengli looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes: "Why, aren't you happy?"

"Where, where." Qin Tao shook his head quickly. How dare I be angry with you? Besides, I was not far away in Qiongzhou at the time, so I couldn't catch up.

"We will welcome the landing of the carrier-based aircraft here first. Once the carrier-based aircraft have landed, we will then go to the port to participate in the commissioning ceremony of the warship." Wu Shengli said.

"Your Eastern Navy is awesome. The aircraft carrier has just been commissioned and all the carrier-based aircraft have been deployed." Nicholas sighed with emotion.

Think about their aircraft carrier. It was originally equipped with all carrier-based aircraft when it was commissioned. Unfortunately, the Red Empire is gone. The ability to bring the aircraft carrier back is a combination of luck and strength. As for the batch of carrier-based aircraft that remain on land, The plane is destined to never fly back.

A few years after the aircraft carrier was acquired, it was finally equipped with all the Su-33s. Unfortunately, there was no land training base and the training level of the pilots was very poor. Later, when the training was in place, the carrier-based aircraft were completely outdated, and the aircraft carrier was also due for overhaul. These In recent years, their aircraft carriers have hardly been operated normally. Look at the east, Hao.

"Not all are equipped, only about half of the carrier-based aircraft are equipped." Wu Shengli said: "After entering service, new carrier-based aircraft will continue to join. It is estimated that it will take one or two years before the aircraft carrier formation will form combat effectiveness. , don’t worry about this.”

While he was talking, the roar of engines came from the sky. The guy looked up and saw carrier-based aircraft starting to fly over. The aircraft in the front row were painted in gray, and they looked like stealth aircraft. But ...what's different.

Nicholas opened his eyes wide and looked at the sky. With a canard layout, dual engines, and stealth design, this is the carrier-based J-20!

Dongfang already has two carrier-based stealth aircraft! It really makes people drool with envy!

There are twenty J-20s in front, twenty J-32s in the back, followed by carrier-based early warning aircraft and carrier-based transport aircraft, and then fighter jets. There are more than fifty of these aircraft. This is only half of the carrier-based aircraft. !

what does this mean?

When fully loaded, Dongfang's 003 aircraft carrier can carry hundreds of carrier-based aircraft!

The carrier-based aircraft formation flew in, hovered in the sky, and landed one after another. The whole process was orderly. Nikolai's eyes never rested, and he kept looking at the J-20. It was called envy.

The military band was playing music, and the roar of the engines was so unique. The J-21 landed and then slid to the hangar. The J-32 then landed and also slid to the hangar. Finally, the early warning aircraft and so on airplane.

All of these planes actually entered the hangar, and none of them was exposed to the outside! Nikolai looked at all this with wide eyes. How big is this hangar? I guess this mountain is all hollowed out, right?

Only Dongfang can complete such a task in such a short time. At the same time, it is much more convenient to store fighter jets in a hangar than in the open air!

The skin of a stealth aircraft is delicate, and it is best to protect it from the sun and rain. At the same time, entering the hangar can also avoid being discovered by the outside world. No matter whether all the fighters are dispatched or all are at the base, the outside world will not know. On the runway , the tarmac is always clean!

"If all the fighter planes were placed outside, and then the pilots were asked to stand in front of the fighter planes and take a stance, the scene would be spectacular," Nikolai said.

Qin Tao is also a little curious, what's next? Does my father-in-law want to give a speech to these pilots? Where should pilots stand?

In fact, it would be even more spectacular if these planes were circling in the sky when welcoming the aircraft carrier back to port. However, I guess the Navy is afraid of wasting fuel, so it can just fly back and land. It is very spectacular to hang around on it, but it will burn Oil hurts.

"Let's go, get in the car." At this moment, Wu Shengli said.

boarding? Where to go? Qin Tao was curious. If he went to the hangar to talk, it was indeed a bit far. It would be more convenient to take a car.

"Go to the port." Wu Shengli said, "It's just right to go there now."

"Dad, aren't you going to address the pilots?"

"They will go together too."

Outside the hangar, there are already several buses parked. It seems that preparations have been made here. After the pilots land, they will take the bus together to attend the aircraft carrier commissioning ceremony. At that time, they will stand on the dock. phalanx.

The convoy left the airport. There were military vehicles in front of it, and all the nearby villagers had moved away, so there were no cars on the road. The convoy quickly headed to the port.

"Did anything happen during the relocation?" Qin Tao asked as he looked at an empty village outside the car window.

"We have built a community here to accommodate them. Considering that many of them are fishermen, each household has a large garage where they can store their cars and their various tools." The accompanying Dongbian Fleet The leader said: "By the way, the entire community was built by your Mingzhou Group. It's called Mingzhou Jingyuan. The residential communities built by your group have the best quality and the best reputation..."

"I mean when it comes to relocation, are you guys willing to leave the place where you were born and raised?" Qin Tao asked.

When mentioning this, the leader of the army was silent for a few seconds: "Yes, it is hard to leave our homeland, and the people are willing to stay in their villages. When we relocated, we did a lot of work. There was an old woman in her eighties, She said that she had many memories in the place where she had lived all her life and did not want to move. I asked at that time, so, have you ever seen foreign warships sailing freely in our seas? "

Speaking of this, the army leaders had mixed feelings.

"She said she had seen, and moreover, seen foreign warships being arrogant and domineering, even knocking over fishing boats in the same village and killing several villagers. Then I said that our current relocation is to better protect our Territorial waters, protect our fishermen, and protect our motherland! The old lady didn’t say anything else at the time and silently went back to pack her things.”

"These are our lovely people." Wu Shengli was also very emotional: "When the motherland needs them to make sacrifices, although they are reluctant to give up, they will make choices that are beneficial to the country! When the Three Gorges Dam was built, so many people were relocated. Many people, the Capital Steel Company is relocating, and the workers have no complaints. Now, in order to make room for the naval base, the people on the island are also willing to relocate. Our navy must not betray their trust! The People's Navy is for the people! We absolutely We won’t let those things in history happen again!”

"Of course, we have shifted from offshore defense to both offense and defense. Our motherland has become stronger. Of course, we will not let what happened in history happen again. We are opening up a new era!" Qin Tao was also in high spirits.

Well, Nicholas is the only one left in the whole car. His assistants, guards and the like are all in other cars. He is the only one in this car. Over the years, he can understand a few words. In Oriental dialect, he knew that everyone was saying impassioned words at this time, but he couldn't get a word in.

However, he knew in his heart that now, he was witnessing the process of a country becoming stronger. Before his eyes, he seemed to be recalling the scenes of the past ten years.

The car stopped at the port.

The entire military port was abuzz with excitement. The military band had arrived in advance, set up their formation and started playing. The flags on the flagpole next to them were fluttering in the wind. A man in uniform stood, looking at the sea in the distance.

Here we come, that huge warship is finally here!

The escorting warships have fallen behind, and a huge aircraft carrier has moved over. Like the previous 002 aircraft carrier, it is a large aircraft carrier with direct access to the deck. However, its island is smaller and more integrated. The key is that it cannot be seen. chimney, which means it's a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier!

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, sailors stood in a circle along the edge. Since the guardrails were supported, there was no need to worry about falling. In the center of the deck, there was a pattern of numbers: 1949-2005, the Navy has gone through fifty years. Seven glorious years!

Watching the aircraft carrier slowly move over, Qin Tao felt that his vision was slowly blurring. With his own efforts, the navy finally became stronger and now has a strong lineup of three aircraft carriers!

"Qin, what's wrong with you?" Hearing Nicholas's voice from beside him, Qin Tao smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that the sea wind is too strong, and it hurts my eyes."

Nicholas glanced at him again, said nothing, and continued to look at the aircraft carrier.

The aircraft carrier came to a complete stop when it was still one or two nautical miles away from the port, and the tugs came to the scene next.

It is impossible for such a huge aircraft carrier to drive directly to the port. It needs the help of tugboats. Four or five tugboats act together, slowly pushing the aircraft carrier, turning half a circle on the sea, with the bow of the ship facing outwards, and heading toward the port backwards. Come, so that if something happens in the future, the aircraft carrier can directly start going to sea.

Looking at the several huge berths next to him, Qin Tao suddenly thought of something: In fact, the fleet here does not necessarily need two aircraft carriers. This one aircraft carrier is enough, but amphibious assault ships There must be more. At least five 075s can be parked at the berth here!

Different fleets have different missions. For the fleet here, using 075 is the best choice. Once the motherland needs it, how many Marines can be transported by five 075s?

The deck can take off and land the J-31A and tilt-rotor aircraft, and below it can dispatch hovercrafts and amphibious tanks. The scene will definitely be very spectacular!

The navy relocated many villages for this aircraft carrier, not just for this one, but to prepare for the future, so as to avoid all warships being dispatched and being discovered just after leaving port.

Thinking of this, Qin Tao's heart became excited again.

The aircraft carrier continued to move. When it was still tens of meters away from the dock, several small boats drove up to the aircraft carrier. Some cables protruded from the side of the aircraft carrier and fell onto the small boats. The small boats rowed to the shore and brought the cables to the shore. More than a dozen cables were tied to the biting piles at the pier and then slowly tightened. With the help of tugboats, the aircraft carrier continued to approach the pier and finally anchored steadily.

The parking position is very accurate. The crane waiting on the dock can lift the gangway to the docking port without having to move. There are three in the front, middle and back, making it convenient for people to get on and off. At the same time, the people on the dock continue to be busy, docking fuel, Fresh water pipes, electrical cables, etc.

The docking of the aircraft carrier was so complicated. It took more than half an hour for the aircraft carrier to be completely docked at the pier. Officers wearing 04-type naval uniforms walked down the island, stood at the gangway, and shouted loudly below. .

"Report, Type 003 aircraft carrier No. 18 has entered the port, please give instructions!"

The voice was loud and resounded throughout the military port.
