Dominate South Asia
Chapter 482: Navy Visit
Lieutenant General Ma, commander of the North Sea Fleet, and Political Commissar Li, both of whom are already in their sixties, stood straight, looking at the huge warship in front of them, with the same envy in their eyes.
If you want to have sea control, you need air control. So far, the Chinese Navy can only operate within the scope of land-based aviation, that is, to prevent the opponent's air strikes.
Before there is air control, naval ships are in danger, especially now that China's main warships, including the Luda-class ships anchored in the Lushun naval port, still have twin-mounted 37mm anti-aircraft guns as their main air defense weapons, which are simply not enough to deal with the current maritime threats.
And the only one in the Chinese Navy that has air defense missiles is the 531 frigate, which is equipped with the Hongqi 61 air defense missile. The performance of this missile is also unable to cope with various air threats.
Now, the second-generation destroyer, the Luhu-class, is under construction. When this destroyer is put into service, it will have a point air defense system such as the Sea Rattler, and the destroyers of the Chinese Navy will be able to face air threats independently. It is still far from the world's advanced level.
The Pakistani Navy in front of us actually has an operational aircraft carrier and advanced Tomcat fighters.
Just thinking about it, Li Zhengwei said: "Old Ma, they are coming down."
Haziz, the captain of the Pakistani Navy aircraft carrier, who is also the commander of this formation, walked down the deck in a neat navy uniform. Behind him was Hussein, the commander of the flight wing.
"Nice to see you." Haziz saluted General Ma and stretched out his hands.
General Ma also returned the salute and stretched out his hands: "I have been looking forward to your coming. Now, we have finally opened our eyes. When we went to the Soviet Union, we didn't see such a huge warship."
"Welcome to visit the ship." Haziz said.
These Chinese Navy personnel are very interested in Pakistan's aircraft carrier. At the invitation of Haziz, the first activity of both parties is to visit this huge aircraft carrier.
General Ma and Political Commissar Li, followed by a large group of captain-level officials, boarded the Pakistani aircraft carrier.
Standing on the open flight deck, everyone was relaxed and happy. Everyone's thoughts were probably that they all hoped that they could have such an aircraft carrier.
After walking to the island, under the leadership of Haziz, they came to the command room, where a small aircraft carrier model was placed, and there were two Tomcat fighter models on it, which were exactly the same as the current placement. This is also the most direct way to operate an aircraft carrier.
"This aircraft carrier is really good." The Chinese personnel who followed kept sighing.
"An aircraft carrier is just a flying platform. The most important thing is the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier." Hussein said on the side: "Our Tomcat fighters have strong combat capabilities and can effectively play a role in competing for air supremacy."
"At the same time, as a formation, it is also very important to guard against enemy attacks." Haziz said: "The air defense system of our aircraft carrier formation is divided into three layers. The outer layer is realized by Tomcat fighters, the middle layer is our Sea Dart air defense missiles, and the short-range is our Sea Sparrow and close-in defense guns."
Sea Dart air defense missiles! From the bridge here, you can see the dock next to it. The two Type 42 destroyers were also approaching. There were launchers for Sea Dart anti-aircraft missiles on the front and back of these destroyers. At this time, there were no ship-to-air missiles on the double-arm launchers, and they had all been placed on the automatic loading equipment below. Even looking at these, you can feel a strong breath.
Sea Dart was almost introduced that year. At that time, foreign exchange was scarce, and at the same time, domestic research and development institutions. Patting their chests, saying that the Hongqi 61 would be developed soon, but it was not put on board until now!
This delay has delayed at least ten years! If there were Sea Darts, our side would not be afraid of the Vietnamese air strikes in the battle in the Nansha Islands.
"It would be great if our navy could also have Sea Dart missiles." At this time, the captain of a destroyer said.
"The Sea Dart missile is only a temporary emergency." Haziz said: "Now, we have reached an agreement with the United States and are ready to introduce four Kidd-class destroyers. The standard missiles on them are our main air-to-air missiles in the future."
Standard missiles! After long negotiations, repeated consultations, and various interests, Pakistan finally reached an agreement with the United States to introduce four Kidd-class destroyers. When these four destroyers arrive, the strength of the Pakistani Navy will be further strengthened.
At the same time, the standard missiles above will also be Pakistan's main anti-aircraft missiles, filling the gap before the self-produced Aegis system is put into service, and supporting the sky of the fleet.
"If everyone is interested, we can take everyone to visit our destroyers next." Haziz continued.
It took two hours to visit the large aircraft carrier from top to bottom, and it took another hour to visit the destroyer next to it. During these three hours, no one felt tired or hungry. Everyone had an idea in their hearts, hoping that domestic warships could also have such performance!
Outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway. Compared with various subsystems, the command system of the warship is the most important. The Type 42 destroyer has already realized the control and management using computers, while the Luda class still uses the old-fashioned command ceremony. At the same time, data links are becoming more and more important. Through data links, various data can be shared and combat tasks can be assigned at the same time, which is much faster than the transmission of commands.
After the visit, the sailors on the warships can finally go ashore. After drifting on the sea for several months, it is a different feeling to step on land.
The welcome dinner was held at the headquarters of the Lushun base. Senior commanders of the Pakistani Navy, deputy captains and above, attended the welcome banquet.
At the same time, in addition to the commander of the North Sea Fleet, even the commander-in-chief of the Navy, General Zhang, came from the capital to attend the welcome banquet.
"Thank you very much for your selfless help." General Zhang said: "If you hadn't provided air superiority, we would have been under greater pressure to recover the Nansha Islands."
No matter how many thanks you say, it is impossible to express the gratitude in your heart. The Pakistani Navy did help a lot this time. This had nothing to do with the Pakistani Navy, but they stayed in the South China Sea to help provide air superiority and even attack Vietnamese fighters and warships.
In this operation, the Chinese Navy became a supporting role.
"China is our most sincere friend." Haziz said: "In several India-Pakistan wars, China provided us with selfless help. We Pakistan is a country that knows how to cherish friends the most. Please allow me to express my most sincere greetings to your chairman and general secretary on behalf of our president."
"Yes, we are the most sincere friends." General Zhang said: "Let's toast to friendship."
Pakistanis don't drink. Their cups are full of drinks, but this does not prevent the friendship between the two sides at the wine table. After drinking the drinks, both sides' faces were full of smiles again.
"Pakistan's achievements over the years are obvious to all. Your country has been helping Afghanistan's just war. At the same time, the domestic economy has also made great strides." General Zhang said: "Many of your experiences are worth learning from."
China is also carrying out reform and opening up and developing its economy, but it is far behind Pakistan. This makes everyone curious about Pakistan. How did this country develop in the war?
A careful analysis shows that in addition to plundering India, the focus is still on developing domestic basic industries and improving education. These are all subtle.
Of course, the most important thing for Pakistan's leapfrog development is actually investment in the international financial market. These are all secrets. If the British knew that their pound crisis was caused by Pakistan's huge financial funds, they would probably declare war on Pakistan.
"Your country is also full of vitality through reform and opening up." Haziz said: "We believe that after your economic development, you will invest more funds in military construction, and you will also have aircraft carriers like us."
There will be bread, everything will be there. Now China, after reform, is also radiating vitality.
"We Chinese have a long coastline and a lot of sea rights to maintain. We do need aircraft carriers." Navy Commander General Zhang sighed.
Now, the country's investment in the military is still focused on ground forces, followed by the air force and the navy, which is the most expensive military branch.
"Your side fought very beautifully this time, especially the missile boats that killed the Vietnamese, which was even more exciting." Lieutenant General Ma said.
"Thank you." Tasnim stood up: "Our submarine soldiers are ghosts hidden under the sea, and surprise is our magic weapon for victory."
After speaking, Tasnim paused and continued: "We really want to have an exchange with our Chinese counterparts."
"Of course." General Zhang immediately agreed: "They should learn all kinds of experience from you. Until now, our submarine forces have not had any military exploits."
"We hope to go to Xiaoping Island and board the submarine there to see if we can stay underwater for a few days." Tasnim said.
Xiaoping Island! That's China's nuclear submarine base! Everyone was stunned when they heard Tasnim's words. It turned out that the other party wanted to visit their nuclear submarine! (To be continued ~^~)
