Great warships

Chapter 1193 The strength of the infrastructure madman

"Sir, someone on Zhenhua No. 7 is injured. Do we really not send a helicopter to rescue him?"

"Of course not, what does this have to do with us." The hook-nosed commander said: "Let them handle the affairs of the Easterners themselves. We don't have that obligation. Hmm, it's better to let a few of them die and deal with it later. I don’t dare to take this route anymore.”

"Report, radar detected a helicopter heading to the sea area where the incident occurred."

"Helicopter? Which base sent it?" The commander was a little dissatisfied. Huh, he was still waiting to see the show. Who jumped out to cause trouble?

"It's not very clear. It flew very low and was only detected by our radar after it flew over. But if there are no accidents, it should be the helicopter of a big dog."

Big dog owner? Huh, it's really interesting to be a big dog. He had a good relationship with us before, but then he started to kneel down and lick the Oriental people. A complicated look appeared on the face of the hook-nosed commander.

It is indeed a helicopter from a big company. It looks similar to the Black Hawk helicopter, but there are some slight differences in details. For example, the two-piece windshield on the front, the five-blade rotor on the top, etc., all illustrate the identity of this helicopter: from the East. Straight twenty.

When the helicopter flew over, the pirates immediately realized that the situation was not good. They quickly jumped on the boat and ran away frantically. Of course they knew that they could not fight against the helicopter in the sky. If they fled too slowly, , it may be killed.

The pirates scattered like birds and beasts, and the helicopter did not immediately pursue them, because there were wounded people on Zhenhua No. 7, and they had to be sent away for treatment quickly.

Fortunately, the Zhenhua No. 7 ship was wide, so it landed directly on it, picked up the wounded, and left in a hurry.

What expressions should those pirates have now? They will definitely feel sad and regret that they have stung a hornet's nest, right?

When robbing a ship, if you see someone spray-painting square letters on the bow, don't do anything!

The reason is also very simple. The 054 frigate uses a diesel engine as power, and its maximum speed is limited and cannot keep up with the overall speed of the formation. Just like this time, since the formation set off, it has been advancing rapidly at a high speed of 30 knots, which is so fast that people can react But come on, this Easterner is too fast!

At the same time, there are seven or eight carrier-based helicopters parked in other areas, all of which are straight and ready to take off at any time. These aircraft alone give people a murderous feeling.

The size of the fleet is not large. There is one 075, one 055, two 052DL, plus a comprehensive supply ship. There are only five warships, which looks very thin. However, if the combat effectiveness is simply evaluated by quantity, then That's too childish.

075, with a displacement of tons, can dock carrier-based aircraft above, and can transport amphibious equipment from the dock below. This warship alone is not someone to be trifled with!

Are you so anxious for revenge?

Is this still an amphibious assault ship? This is simply an aircraft carrier.

Now, the first 075 has completed all sea trials and is waiting for its final entry into service. Under the halo of the 003 aircraft carrier, the 075 seems unknown. In fact, this kind of warship is a real all-rounder.

"They actually want to send an amphibious assault ship over, or a 40,000-ton ship. No, absolutely not. The waters here belong to us! We must stop them." The hook-nosed commander reported to his superiors.

This news shocked everyone's heart. At the same time, they were all looking at Dongfang. How would Dongfang feel at this time?

Dongfang's reaction was very fast. An hour after the incident happened, Dongfang made a decision.

The superiors scolded the hooked noses, but you just stood back and watched. You were clearly giving the Easterners a chance. If Zhenhua No. 7 had not been attacked, would they have had an excuse to show off?

No one in the world can find fault with it!

At the end of 05, the fleet led by 075 officially set off for the Red Sea.

075 did not hide its strength. The take-off and landing area on the left side was vacated. Five J-As were parked in front of the ship island on the right, and four were parked behind the ship island. Only this kind of vertical take-off with stealth capabilities We only brought nine fighter jets, which were exposed on the deck. We don’t know how many more were in the hangar below.

You must sail under the protection of warships, and never act on your own in a hurry!

Zhenhua No. 7 was attacked and there were casualties!

If an aircraft carrier is sent over, people will deliberately exaggerate various threats. If 075 goes over, it can reduce a lot of influence. Moreover, this is purely for revenge and for the safety of shipping. We have sufficient reasons!

When he got the news, the hook-nosed commander realized something was wrong.

If you are careful, you can also find that the main warships of the East no longer bring frigates when they go to sea!

The 055 accompanying it is currently the only 055-ton cruise ship of the Navy. It played an important role in the last exercise. This time it comes out again, showing its status as the core of the formation. As long as the is here, it can give the entire The formation provides complete protection, whether it is air defense, anti-submarine or anti-ship, it is all top-notch!

"We have no reason to stop them. They want to fight pirates, and there is a good reason. And what is coming is only an amphibious assault ship, not an aircraft carrier. The most important thing is that Gou Dahu expressed a warm welcome and is willing to cooperate with the Orientals to fight pirates and eliminate them. Pirate cancer, what were you thinking at the time, if something happened to Zhenhua No. 7, if you rescued it in time, would the Orientals still have an excuse?"

As for the other two 052DLs, they could have been used as capital ships, but now they can only serve as soy sauce.

"In order to maintain the security of world shipping and reduce the threat of pirates, we in the East have decided to send a fleet headed by the 075 amphibious assault ship and the 055 large drive to the sea areas where pirates are located to carry out a three-month specialized attack. We must clear the sea shipping Cancer!"

The construction speed of the 075 amphibious assault ship is very fast. After all, Mingzhou Group already has rich construction experience. It was built first for the Guinea Navy and then for the Lao Maozi Navy. When it was the turn of our own two ships, the speed was even faster. Mingzhou Group's construction speed depends entirely on the Navy's funding speed. Later, it received an order for two aircraft carriers, and the construction of 075 was even faster.

Half an hour later, the entire Red Sea received the news: the pirates had expanded their attack area, and even the interior of the Red Sea was no longer safe!

You cannot look at the place of registration, because cargo ships from many countries are registered to the flags of certain small countries. After all, small countries have some advantages, and you cannot look at the flags flying on them. Many cargo ships have begun to fly additional Eastern flags. You can only look at The name of the ship spray-painted on the bow of the ship is inconvenient to change. As long as it is in square characters, it must not be touched!

There was a lot of discussion on the Internet, and there were various theories, and the fleet was also moving forward rapidly. It set off on the first day and passed the Siam canal and entered the Indian Ocean on the second night.

Many people were questioning Ah San's attitude. Judging from Ah San's usual style, they might want to come and stir things up, but in fact, Ah San did nothing.

After all, Ah San’s own aircraft carrier hasn’t been built yet, and the old aircraft carrier has been retired. When the green and yellow are idle, they have no ability to run out to make trouble. They know that if they come out now, they will just make a fool of themselves, so they just do everything. Don't say anything, don't do anything, just watch.

The aircraft carrier they built themselves is a 40,000-ton aircraft carrier, which they can't boast about. But now, look at Dongfang's amphibious assault ships, which are all 40,000-ton aircraft, and they are equipped with stealth aircraft.

If there is a provocation, those stealth planes may fly to the north for a trip, and they won't even be able to find it.

The formation sailed for another six or seven days and finally arrived in the Gulf of Aden.

In the past few days, the hook-nosed commander had been watching the movements of this formation. For some reason, he had an ominous premonition in his heart. Was the other party coming so quickly just for revenge? Or have other ideas?

"Report, an Eastern fleet has been spotted nearby."

"Fleet? Transportation or something?"

"The bulk carrier, transporting construction materials. There are also some prefabricated parts, and there is also a concrete mixer ship."

Building materials? Concrete mixer ship? What are you doing here? Is it cost enough to transport it all the way here?

Could it be... Thinking of this, the aquiline nose suddenly reacted: "Quick, report to your superiors immediately, the Orientals may build a base here in Jibuti!"

His judgment was quite accurate. Just when he was about to report to his superiors, Ji Buti issued a brief explanation.

"In order to better maintain the safety of navigation in the Red Sea, and in order to prevent the tragedy of Zhenhua 7 from happening again, we decided to invite Dongfang to build a military base here so that if an unexpected situation occurs, helicopters can take off quickly. We believe that Dongfang's strike Pirates do not distinguish between different races and nationalities. Once a ship from any country is attacked, as long as they call for rescue, they will fly over to help."

"No, absolutely not, go to the relevant departments immediately to protest." The hooked nose clenched his fists. Those warships came not to fight against pirates, but to provide backstage for the construction of the base!

However, their response was too late, and the personnel from the relevant departments could not be found at all. They all went to the base in the East to attend the ceremony!

The base is only a dozen kilometers away from the base of Hawk Nose. On another beach, a large group of Heizi officials are standing there, smiling and greeting the people who have just disembarked from the fleet that has just docked. "Dear friends, thank you for your support. Our Red Sea shipping will be safer in the future. On behalf of the East, I thank you."

Qin Tao really wants to thank the people on the other side. Without them, he would not be able to survive at all.

"Yes, we are true friends. Over the years, we have discovered that those guys have bad intentions. Only you, Dongfang, are sincere towards us." An official pointed in the direction of other bases and said: " Therefore, we sincerely invite you to garrison.”

"Okay, let's hold the groundbreaking ceremony now, and then the construction can officially start." Qin Tao said to the other party.

Each person took a shovel, placed a carved black stone into the pit, and then began to fill it with soil.

The sound of crackling firecrackers rang out nearby, and the ceremony ended simply like this.

Next, it’s time to start construction!

"start!"

As Qin Tao shouted, nearby ships immediately took action.

The crane ship lifted the steel mesh that had been bundled on a bulk carrier onto the land. Workers wearing safety helmets supported the steel mesh in a suitable way, and then the second steel mesh was also hoisted to the side, fixed and bundled. , the third... Soon a large area of ​​ground tied with steel mesh appeared.

Sanhang Concrete's 28-wheel mixing ship moved up, extended the long pipe, and then began to pour concrete. This ship is a mobile concrete factory on the sea, with a daily output of up to two thousand cubic meters, whether it is building the piers of a bridge at sea. , or building docks, etc., can all play a huge role.

In one day, 10,000 square meters of ground was hardened.

This is the speed of the East, this is the strength of the infrastructure madman!

The black men were dumbfounded.

On the pier, a piling ship drives cement piles into the ground one by one. Not far away, a bulk carrier carrying prefabricated parts is waiting quietly. As long as the cement ground solidifies, these prefabricated parts can be transported up within three days. , you can build a camp that can accommodate thousands of people!

Accommodation, warehouses, restaurants, and even entertainment facilities can all be completed in no time!

The hooked nose failed to find the local officials, so he came back in high spirits that night, and then received a report from his subordinates.

Their neighbors have already begun construction work!

"What are you talking about? Today, they have hardened 10,000 square meters of ground?" The hook-nosed face looked ugly: "Their speed... Oh, damn, they have planned all this!"

The hook-nosed man is not stupid, and he can quickly think: such a huge construction project must be carefully planned in advance, and the Orientals have already started preparing!

The speed of those construction ships was not fast, and some could not even reach ten knots. In other words, they had to be dispatched twenty days in advance, and the Zhenhua No. 7 was attacked only ten days ago!

When they were attacked, these ships had already sailed to the Indian Ocean and were heading here. Unfortunately, all their intelligence systems were looking at the fleet that was approaching quickly, and they did not notice this unique formation of engineering ships at all. !

If they had found out in advance, they might have been able to do something, but now that the other party had started to do it in a big way, what else could they do?

It's too late to do anything!

"How about we do something?"

Listening to his men's words, the aquiline-nosed face darkened: "Do you think that 075 is here to deal with pirates?"

Definitely not, this is killing a chicken with a knife! 075 appears here not to deal with pirates, but to deter certain people from doing anything inappropriate!

"Huh, that's just an amphibious assault ship, not an aircraft carrier. It can't be compared with our navy at all."

"But they're right in front of you."

The men stopped talking.

On the bridge of 075, Captain Zhang Yu looked at the majestic sea with a serious face: "This mission is very important and cannot cause any problems. Since our superiors sent us here, they have placed their trust in us. We must not let our superiors down." !”

"Yes, our warship has been sent out before it has been commissioned. It is also a test for us. We have been training and running in while rushing to sail. Time waits for no time." Yan Jun, the commander of the formation on the side, said .

Generally speaking, it takes several years for a warship to form combat effectiveness. Even if there are soldiers accompanying it during sea trials, it is impossible to understand the temper of the warship. It has to continue to explore and practice. For aircraft carriers and amphibious ships, there are still As for the running-in of the aviation force, Dongfang has formed a complete system. Carrier-based aircraft pilots are on call at any time. They fly simpler vertical take-off and landing. They can run-in after flying up a few times.

The amphibious assault ship is taller than the aircraft carrier because there is an extra dock on top. On the bridge, it is like standing on top of a fifteen-story building. From a high position, you can see far away from the port. It looked busy. Even though it was already dark, the lights were still brightly lit over there, and the construction workers were still working all night.

"Report, the carrier-based aircraft unit requested to take off to perform patrol missions!" At this moment, a voice sounded at the door.

"The airspace here is too narrow. Once we take off, it is easy to fly into the airspace of other countries." Yan Jun shook his head: "If it is not necessary, we still cannot take off."

"Ours is a stealth machine."

"Then you won't turn on the radar?"

The carrier-based air wing commander who was begging for a fight at the door stopped talking.

Stealth aircraft will not be discovered by anyone. However, they only have stealth aircraft and no early warning aircraft. If they want to patrol, they need to turn on the radar. In this way, they have no stealth capability.

"The stealth aircraft is on standby at any time. Let's fly the surveillance and attack drone first."

"It's a drone again." The captain of the carrier air wing complained.

"What happened to the drones? Needless to say, our amphibious assault ships and even aircraft carriers are carrying a large number of drones. This is the trend, so get ready."

Ten minutes later.

A drone appeared on the deck of 075, with a sci-fi fuselage, the same as the Global Hawk, no, the most advanced rainbow drone in the East. At this time, its folded wings on both sides slowly opened, making it look even more... pretty.

However, its tail is different from previous drones: there is no jet engine, but a propeller structure at the tail!

This is an improved model based on the Rainbow UAV. It has been downgraded from a jet engine to a propeller engine in order to take off and land from the deck of 075 without resorting to external forces!

In the old propeller aircraft era, there was no need for a catapult or arresting cable. The aircraft could complete the takeoff and landing operations of the aircraft carrier based on its own power.

The amphibious assault ship is not equipped with electromagnetic catapults and arresting cables. It is said that it can only operate vertical take-off and landing aircraft, but in fact, modified drones can also be operated.

In later generations, General Atomics launched a research and development plan for the STOL version of the MQ-9 Reaper drone. This kind of propeller drone takes off by taxiing under its own power, and does not hang an arresting cable when landing. It cleverly uses the propeller reverse motion to slow down.

If the Americans can do it, of course we can do it, and, in this time and space, we are the first!
