Chapter 986 The aircraft carrier formation is finally launched!

After the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier, the first aircraft carrier formation began a six-month military training to form combat effectiveness, which is the most important thing.

An aircraft carrier fleet is not a cruise ship, but one of the tools that serve the war. How can it work without powerful combat capabilities?

Afterwards, a press conference was held, and Cao Dongfang once again became the focus of attention when he attended the press conference. The naval generals became a foil, but they didn't care. They had already thought that as long as there was an aircraft carrier formation, it would be fine.

"Excuse me, Minister Cao Kuang, are you building an aircraft carrier fleet to dominate the world? I am a reporter from Niuniu....., thank you."

"We will never seek world hegemony. This was the case in the past and it remains the case now. We build aircraft carriers as a symbol of being a great power, not for world hegemony.

It seems that we don’t need to fight for world domination now! Who should we fight for world domination? So it’s better for the world to be peaceful. Thank you.”

Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap....warm applause broke out. No one wanted to fight.

"Minister Cao, you started building an aircraft carrier fleet after the end of the ten-year war. Is there any purpose? I am..."

"The reporter's question was quite profound. To be exact, we already had the technology to build aircraft carriers in the early 1980s.

We didn't build it just because we didn't want to provoke them, just like we haven't test-fired our hypersonic missiles.

To be precise, we don't want to add to the chaos. The world is already in chaos. We will not join the war. There are too many casualties. We are all born by our parents. Isn't it good to live a happy life?

That's why we didn't build an aircraft carrier at that time. Thank you."

Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap...Another round of applause.

"Minister Cao, will you continue to build aircraft carriers after your first aircraft carrier fleet is launched? I am..."

"Yes! As we all know, our coastline is relatively long, so we have four major fleets. It's not too much to have one aircraft carrier formation for each fleet. We can't be partial.

It wouldn’t be excessive to put one more in some places, and this will add two more aircraft carrier formations.

These ordinary aircraft carriers have shorter legs and are usually very good at escorting merchant ships. They do not fight wars and they only protect our country's waters from being invaded.

We also have the technology to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, but we are not building them now. We will build them in ten years, but not more than two aircraft carrier fleets.

In the past, some people relied on their large number of aircraft carrier formations to come here for friendly inquiries. We had an aircraft carrier formation and wanted to return the visit. It's a pity that they are no longer here.

We will never use force to dominate the world. There may be a war, but the enemy will be someone who hates us very much and slanders us excessively. Thank you. "

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa. Pa...Another round of applause. You are not afraid of building a few aircraft carrier fleets. Just don't fight. It seems that you have no opponents.

Returning to visit the rookie aircraft carrier formation, they no longer exist, what are you feeling sorry for? This resentment is still not small, no one will be small.

"Minister Cao, what are the two more aircraft carrier fleets for? I am..."

"What shall it be used for? That is the business of the Navy. I only know one thing, that what is ours shall be taken back, and what is owed to us shall be paid back.

We are strong, you are weak, and weakness is the original sin. Thank you. "

Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap. Clap...More applause. Everyone understood what Cao Dongfang meant. Something was going to happen again, and it was a big thing.

"....."

An hour later, the press conference ended and Cao Dongfang and everyone returned to the conference room.

"I am here to attend the launching ceremony of the aircraft carrier. This is a small matter. I know you have been waiting for so many years and nothing will go wrong today.

The reason I'm here is that you're all here, and what I said at the press conference is true, we need four to six conventional carrier groups.

The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was built in 2005. Now I want to ask you something.

If we build three to five aircraft carrier formations at a time, you should be very familiar with whether we can complete them by the end of March 2001 and form combat effectiveness.

Also, you have an aircraft carrier fleet this time, and warships of over 10,000 tons are under construction.

Distribute some small-tonnage warships to our coast guard brothers. Except for special warships, those below 8,000 tons will be given to them in batches. Our navy does not need small warships below 5,000 tons.

Think about this matter. They have annoyed the chief of staff to the point that it is impossible for our shipyard to build warships of several hundred tons in the next few years.

The key is the aircraft carriers. They must be combat-ready by the end of March 2001. This is a death order. You decide how many aircraft carrier formations to have. Do you understand, comrades in the navy?

"Minister, can't we add more shipyards? Can we only build aircraft carriers in the existing eight shipyards?"

"Yes. There is no need to consider adding new shipyards. We can only add docks to existing shipyards. I will give you three months to consider.

Build a few aircraft carrier formations and decide on their displacement. Don't worry about the money, we will pay for it. I only look at their combat effectiveness at that time.

If you don't have the fighting capacity, I will ask you all to go home and farm. Think carefully. Do you have any other questions? "

"no!"

“The meeting is adjourned.”

"The minister has issued a death order this time. This means there will be a big move, right?"

"We must take back what belongs to us, and repay those who owe us money. We should also study how many aircraft carrier fleets we can build.

The ministry is bleeding a lot this time, hundreds of billions of dollars cannot be taken lightly. Minister Cao is not kidding us."

"Yes!"

.......

"Hahahaha, today we finally have an aircraft carrier formation. I'm so happy. Congratulations. Congratulations!"

“It’s not just one aircraft carrier fleet, there are three to five, and ten years later there will be one to two nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets, which seems to be less.

There should be a hundred aircraft carrier fleets, and our sea area is still very large. "

"Fuck, you are awesome. A conventional aircraft carrier fleet costs 40 billion (the external quotation is less than 19 billion in reality).

A nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet is even more expensive. Let's say 50 billion, 100 of them would be 400 to 500 billion. You have to pay for it, but the military can't afford it."

"We can't afford it. Even if we donate, it's not enough. And it's not practical. We don't need so many aircraft carrier fleets now. I think Minister Cao's six aircraft carrier fleets are just right."

"Yes, the military can afford two or three hundred billion. They should have calculated it carefully. Now is not the time like 20 years ago when they needed to develop the navy."

"That's right. It's just that we have two more aircraft carrier formations there. Minister Cao is very thoughtful. Congratulations."

"Minister Cao has been patient for fifteen years in order to reduce the number of deaths and to avoid disrupting the world situation. He will not be patient this time. How many years do you think it will take?"

"Within ten years, one aircraft carrier formation takes more than four years, and three to five aircraft carrier formations take at least nine years to complete, and they also need to be combat-ready."

"It should be within ten years. I can wait. I will know the result."

"I can wait, too."

"Wait!"

"This time, Brother Long's aircraft carrier fleet was launched. From what I can see from the drawing, it is not 50,000 tons at all. With that draft, I would believe it if it was 80,000 tons. I have been on an aircraft carrier for five years."

"This is a small matter. You have to understand their 'surplus'. It's more than 50,000 tons. They have the final say on how much 'surplus' there is. You don't have to worry too much about the actual displacement.

As long as their aircraft carriers don't go to war everywhere, everything else is a small matter."

"That's correct. The size of the aircraft carrier doesn't matter. Just don't start fighting recklessly."

"Brother Long is not a rookie who will bully others everywhere. They do business very fairly, including with the black brothers, and all the prices are based on the international standards at that time."

"Their credibility in this regard is very good, and I have no concerns about them."

"Isn't there a saying? We must take back what belongs to us and what is owed to us..."

"Hahaha, brother, everyone knows who you said this to. It has nothing to do with us."

"It has nothing to do with us."

"Understand!"
