Chapter 1285: Protection of sea passages

The Holy Nation and the White Elephant Nation have always had huge disputes, and the same is true at sea. The White Elephant Nation's navy has already purchased the second-hand aircraft carriers they eliminated from the Niu Nation. Once the "Villat" aircraft carrier project is negotiated, they will become the first country to have an aircraft carrier there. It can be said that this is the greatest stimulus to the holy country.

Therefore, the Holy Nation must accelerate the modernization of the navy. These four warships are a huge improvement for the Holy Nation’s navy.

After all, this is a modern warship with the most powerful anti-ship missile on it.

Qin Guan nodded seriously: "Yes, the performance of this kind of warship is balanced. Anti-ship, air defense and anti-submarine are all good at it. Now it is equipped with the C801 missile. At the same time, our country is continuing to develop this kind of anti-ship. The upgraded version of the missile uses a small turbojet engine to increase the range of the missile to more than 100 kilometers without changing its size. When the research and development is completed, it will first be replaced by our friends."

With a range of hundreds of kilometers, it was definitely a huge leap. Hearing Qin Guan's words, Lieutenant General Abbas was even more happy. "Well, let's go up. The ceremony is about to be held now." An adjutant said.

On the rostrum, two rows of chairs have been set up. A dozen soldiers from the holy country are sitting on the left, while the one on the right is the Han Chinese. There are shipyards, design institutes, Han Navy officers, and Qin Guan et al.

After Qin Guan refused in every possible way, he sat in the middle with Lieutenant General Abbas, and then the ceremony began.

"Today, we ushered in the cutting ceremony of the first steel plate of the F-22P frigate. This is a symbol of our friendship with the holy country and a symbol of our growing shipbuilding industry. Our shipbuilding industry has undergone continuous development. It is already possible to undertake any task given by the motherland and the people. Now, I solemnly announce that the first steel plate will start cutting!"

Following the order from the gray-haired shipyard director, behind him, the gantry crane started to move. A brand new and bright steel plate was hoisted from the pile of steel plates by the gantry crane. Sparks splashed in front of the rostrum. This steel plate is accurately cut into the required shape!

Warships are welded with steel plates, and the shapes of warships are irregular. Therefore, the first step in building a warship is to cut a large piece of steel plate into the required shape, and then roll it. , Bend into a certain spatial geometric shape, a piece of steel plate is finished shape, welded together, gradually form a hull.

This is the first step in building a warship, which is to cut the first steel plate!

After the steel plate was cut, all the people present clapped and the photographers kept taking pictures. The pictures were framed by glorious moments.

In addition to the steel plate cutting ceremony, there will also be launching ceremonies and entry ceremonies in the future. Now, with the steel plate cutting, the history of Han's export of large frigates will officially begin!

Standing on the huge dock of the shipyard, watching the cranes one after another, hoisting various equipment, General Abbas was still excited.

"It's probably a huge ship of tens of thousands of tons built there?" Abbas asked Qin Guan.

The shipyard is busy. On this slipway, the hull has been basically completed. With its huge body and sturdy appearance, it should be an oil tanker.

"To be precise, it is a 100,000-ton tanker." At this moment, the director of the shipyard who had been with the delegation said triumphantly.

One hundred thousand tons is already a very high order of magnitude. In order to build this super tanker, the shipyard has newly built this dock, otherwise, there will be no construction site at all.

In the past, the largest ship built did not exceed 20,000 tons, which is a huge improvement.

"Yes, 100,000 tons is already very big, but we must also see that the super tankers in the world have now reached the level of 500,000 tons."

For crude oil transportation, the larger the tonnage, the more beneficial it is to improve the economic effect. Needless to say, the number of crew members hired at a high price to drive a 500,000-ton tanker and a 100,000-ton tanker is almost equal. The same, the benefits can be doubled several times. Qin Guan also knew that with the development of the national economy, the country would soon become an oil importer.

Now, under Qin Guan's crossing, heavy trucks and other projects have been developing rapidly, and civilian vans are also developing rapidly. More and more oil is needed, and it will definitely enter the ranks of oil importing countries earlier than in history.

At that time, owning a super tanker in his own country was naturally better than hiring a foreign tanker. From now on, Qin Guan has already targeted the world's offshore oil transportation. This will be the lifeblood of the country's economy in the future. Once the oil gets stuck , The country’s economy is over in one month.

Now, although the country is an oil exporter, under the advocacy of Qin Guan, the country has begun to get involved in the import and export of oil. It used to import a large amount of oil from the Shah at a low price. Now, with the war between the two countries, the price of oil is good. , Han Guo made a lot of money this time.

Han Guo also realized the role of owning large oil tankers, and under this idea, he also began to build new oil tankers.

"Yes, our next tanker will reach 200,000 tons. We will definitely work hard to increase our tanker production capacity," said the director of the shipyard.

"Oil is the lifeblood of industry and the country's economy. There must be no problems. Our navy will also have the ability to protect our sea channels in the future." Qin Guan said.

Qin Guan said this, and the navy general Zhao who accompanied him was also deeply convinced: "Yes, our country is continuously expanding trade with foreign countries and protecting our maritime trade. We need a strong navy. We also look forward to the navy. Its strength can be developed as soon as possible."

This time the holy nation’s frigate cut steel plates, and a large number of generals from the Han Navy also attended the ceremony. Why? Because they have realized that this kind of frigate is also needed by the Han Navy.

Since the destroyer can't be built, the frigate should continue to build a batch of frigates designed for the Holy Nation, which is quite reasonable and can be used by the navy.

The navy is applying for military expenses. If it can apply for funds, the navy's frigates of the same type should also enter the sequence of construction one after another. "To have a strong navy, it is best to have advanced carrier-based aviation, fixed-wing fighter jets, and without air supremacy, there would be no sea dominance. The war between the cattle country and the silver country has clearly illustrated this point." General Bath said.
