Everything was over, the sun was setting, and Qin Tao and Wu Shengli were walking home together.

“Taozi, what do you think of the prospects of this 155 mm gun?”

“Dad, the future of this depends on the progress of our electromagnetic gun.” Qin Tao said: “If our electromagnetic gun is developed, then this kind of gun will be useless.”

Just like the steam catapult, the relevant domestic departments have made great efforts to develop it, but the electromagnetic catapult has also come out. Comparing the two sides, you can immediately find that the steam catapult is useless. As a result, the research and development has lost any meaning, and the Navy's aircraft carrier decided to install it. Electromagnetic catapult.

According to the plan, the current electromagnetic gun uses a caliber of 155 mm and has a range of 400 kilometers. Even if the 155 mm gun of the 713 Research Institute is developed, the range will definitely not reach 200 kilometers.

“So, how long will it take for the electromagnetic gun to come out?” Wu Shengli continued to ask.

“I don’t know about this.” Qin Tao said: “Of course we hope that the sooner the better, but this thing is not based on our will, and I don’t know how long it will take for the technology to achieve a breakthrough.”

“The research and development of Institute 713 is worthwhile, and it doesn’t require any money from our navy anyway.” Wu Shengli was very interested.

Now that it has developed, Qin Tao can't say what will happen next. After all, the electromagnetic gun was not really equipped with the navy before he came to this world, although Qin Tao promoted the rapid development of naval equipment in this world. , but we still can’t draw conclusions about these unknown things.

 However, in the world he came from, 155mm naval guns were not developed. The main reason was that there was no demand.

The 155 mm caliber naval gun is mainly used as the fire support force of the amphibious expeditionary strike group. You can know it by looking at the DDG-1000 equipped with two 155 mm naval guns. In terms of ground attack, it has more than one artillery battalion, which is as good as one artillery unit. Traveling!

The Americans have the need for such ground attacks because they want to deploy globally and intervene in a country's situation at any time. However, the Americans are not capable of doing this kind of thing because the price they produce is too expensive! It's obviously a naval gun, and the shells it fires are worth the price of missiles!

There is no such demand in the East. Even if there is a need for combat across the strait, many weapons are available here. There is no need to install naval guns of this caliber on warships.

Even if there is such a demand in the future, with the strength of the Eastern Navy, it is difficult to say whether it can get close to a certain continent and fire artillery shells at a distance of one or two hundred kilometers. In short, it is useless. The Navy directly regards electromagnetic guns as the focus of the future. The equipment is enough. Before that, we relied on the 130mm naval gun to tap its potential.

 For the Navy, it is good to have one more choice, since it does not cost its own money anyway.

Qin Tao was speechless at what his father-in-law said.

“Dad, the navy’s money must be allocated to our shipyard as soon as possible, otherwise the aircraft carrier will stop working.” Qin Tao said.

“The process is already going through, and funds will be allocated in the near future. You can rest assured that funding for the construction of aircraft carriers is definitely not a problem. This is the top priority of the navy.”

The two of them were talking and had already reached the door of the courtyard home. From a distance, Qin Tao heard the sound of retching, so he walked in quickly.

“Xiaoling, how are you?” Qin Tao asked, looking at his wife who was squatting under the tree and retching.

“It’s okay, it’s not the first time.” Zhao Ling said, “But I didn’t have such trouble when I was pregnant with Haiyang. I don’t know whether the baby in my belly is a boy or a girl this time.”

Zhao Ling has not gone out with Qin Tao recently, of course because it is inconvenient. Since Qin Haiyang was born, Zhao Ling's belly has not bulged again. No matter how hard Qin Tao works, it is useless. Who would have thought that Qin Tao They were all about to give up. Anyway, the old Qin family was passed down to three generations alone, so it was enough that he didn’t let the old Qin family die off. However, Zhao Ling got pregnant again.

The reaction this time was even greater than the last time. Zhao Ling could only stay at home to recuperate, and could no longer follow Qin Tao around.

“Humph, if you dare to torment my wife like this, I’ll spank him when he comes out.” Qin Tao said, patting his wife on the back.

Wu Shengli didn't interrupt and went straight into the house.

“Brother Tao, Vitalia has recently found all the people she promised, and the booth of the Glory Years Security Company in the Rainbow Kingdom can almost be sustained.” Zhao Ling was still talking about work.

“Well, Xiaoling, if you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to interfere with this. Anyway, there is still Zhengyang.”

“He also has a family.” Zhao Ling said, “He Qian is also pregnant, so he will have more time to spend with his wife.”

"Really? After seeing our family's happiness, I still benefited from him." Qin Tao murmured: "If I had known this, I would have arranged a marriage for Zhengyang earlier."

"It depends on fate." Zhao Ling felt much better. She looked at Qin Tao with a smile: "You came back early today, do you want to pick up the child?"

"good."

 Qin Tao is enjoying the warmth of family. There are also many people who do not have the opportunity to enjoy this kind of happiness, such as the navy fleet of a certain country running on the ocean.

 A large warship appeared in the Red Sea. Its messy mast looked very ancient, but the four hexagonal flat-panel antennas on the bridge below the mast represented its advancement.

This flat-panel antenna forms a 45-degree angle with the central axis of the warship, which is exactly staggered from the previous layout of front, rear, left and right. There is a large area of ​​space in front of the bridge. If you look down from the sky, you can see the chocolate square. The same vertical launcher.

 It is the famous Arleigh Burke-class destroyer! It's like General Arleigh Burke, fast, flexible, and courageous!

This destroyer is equipped with the famous Aegis system. After changing the arrangement of the antenna, the search capability is stronger. Together with the 90-unit vertical launcher, it has sufficient anti-saturation strike capabilities.

In 1991, the first Arleigh Burke-class destroyer was put into service. After that, this destroyer was launched into the water in large numbers like dumplings. At this time, the bow of the destroyer that came over was spray-painted with DDG -17 mark, it is the 17th destroyer of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. It was incorporated into the Atlantic Fleet in 1996 and was named Cole.

In their navy's order, although warships are often named after people, the USS Cole is not named after an officer, but Darrell Samuel, a Marine who died on Iwo Jima in World War II. Cole. That makes it a little special.

What's special is just the name. Its combat effectiveness is the same as other Burke-class destroyers. It is very powerful. Its full load displacement is 9,000 tons and it has a large number of anti-aircraft, anti-submarine and anti-ship missiles. At this time, Captain Liebold station On the bridge, watching the warship sail through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, he let out a long breath: "Come on, boys, we will stop at the Port of Aden to refuel. You can have four hours to move around, and then we will It’s time to patrol the most dangerous sea areas.”

 “Yes!” The men were very excited.

“Captain, according to the requirements of the Fifth Fleet, we need to implement level 2 alert after docking, and arrange for personnel on duty to use telescopes to observe the nearby sea areas. All personnel on duty need to carry weapons.”

"Really? Bill, then you will be responsible for executing the second level of alert." Liebold said.

Bill was stunned, himself? If you perform such a task by yourself, wouldn't it be impossible to go down and relax?

They have been living on the warship for several months. After completing the supplies and patrolling for several months, it can be said that this docking is their only time to dock. Everyone wants to relax.

 As for the fleet’s secondary alert? Who dares to attack a warship? pirate?

Hence, Bill did not take it seriously and issued the order hastily. When the sailor who performed the task came, he had directly ignored the task.

The sea was calm in the Port of Aden. Several cargo ships docked at the port to unload their cargo, and several rubber boats shuttled among them. A rubber boat drove next to the Cole and helped them get some sailors ashore.

However, not all sailors would go ashore. Some sailors stayed on the warship. Several of them stood in the middle of the ship, bathing in the warm sunshine and watching the huge fuel pipes gurglingly transporting fuel. They lit cigarettes. It's the most leisurely time.

In the distance, the rubber boat started moving again, its roar echoing on the sea.

They looked over and saw that there were only two sailors on the rubber boat, but the back was full of packages.

 What is this rubber boat for?

 Are you here to deliver goods? What's inside those packages?

“Do you think there will be naked women in there?” said a sailor.

“Women? You know women all day long! Did you know that two sponges stuffed into a glass will satisfy your needs for free?”

 “Something’s wrong, why is it coming at full speed?”

 “Hey, slow down!”

At the same time that the sailors on the bow were shouting, the rubber boat had hit the middle of their port side hard.

　　Boom!

There was a huge explosion, air waves hit, and all the sailors guarding the oil pipeline flew into the sky in the explosion.

On the building a few hundred meters away, the glass windows made a rattling sound. Not one piece remained intact, and they were all broken into pieces!

People on a nearby cargo ship could clearly see that a large hole had been blown open on the port side of the Cole! That hole is big enough to accommodate a large bus!

 What’s even more critical is that part of it is still below the waterline. At this time, a large amount of seawater is pouring in from this hole!

 This warship is probably going to sink!

"Quick, rescue our warship immediately!" Bill shouted loudly. Because he suggested leaving personnel to implement the second-level alert, Liebold took a lot of people down to enjoy it. He still stayed on the warship. When the explosion occurred, he was beaten to pieces, but he quickly realized that he must not let the warship sink, otherwise it would be a shame for the navy.

 Rescue the warship!

The remaining sailors took action and implemented strict damage control measures in the warship. However, the water came in too fast, and their main engines were flooded and could not be started. They even had to use buckets...

At this critical moment, Liebold and his men rushed back. They grabbed the fire pump at the port, rushed to the warship, emptied the sea water, and rescued the warship!

They struggled with the explosion that occurred in the morning until nightfall. Seeing that the crooked warship was finally out of danger of sinking, everyone lay on the ground as if their strength had been drained.

The attack on the USS Cole quickly spread throughout the world and shocked the world.

 A super battleship with a displacement of 9,000 tons was attacked by a small boat while in the port and almost sank! Although it was finally rescued, a large hole was blown out of the Cole. Even if the entire warship was not scrapped, it would have to be sent back to the shipyard for repairs. At the same time, 17 people died on the spot and 35 people were injured!

 This is simply a typical tactic of unrestricted warfare!

 White house.

“We must find out the facts as soon as possible and arrest all those involved in the operation! This is simply a slap in our face!”

"These are the same people who flew the passenger plane last time. Up to now, our warships are still neglecting their duties and have no idea what situation they are facing. If they were prepared in advance, how could they let that kind of small boat get close? ?”

“Fortunately, after this incident came out, NASA’s dark history will be forgotten.”

“Everyone, do you know? There is a book called Unrestricted Warfare, which describes this kind of asymmetric strike in detail. When giving an example, it even gave the example of using a small boat to sink a warship!”

“Really? Are they the ones guiding these people?”

 East.

 Zhang Zhong said the program.

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, a major event has happened in recent days. The Burke-class destroyer USS Cole was attacked by a small boat when it was refueling in the port of Aden. Although the warship did not sink, it It posed a huge threat to the Cole." Zhang Zhong was very excited: "What does this mean? Times have changed. The previous wars between two maritime powers will not happen anymore. In the future, this should be the most common war. This kind of asymmetric attack has a lot of analysis in my military book "Unrestricted Warfare". In fact, this tactic is nothing. After all, on the Vietnam battlefield, Vietnamese frogmen did this. Every pit brings wisdom, but the navy of a certain country is self-righteous and feels that no one dares to offend it. There is a saying that goes well, weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is! As long as it is used well, the weak will also win. "

There is nothing to hide from this. "Unrestricted Warfare" is the most famous military book in the world. It describes the future war situation: there will not be a confrontation between two superpowers at sea. Instead, some weak forces will use some special methods. means to launch an attack on the superpower.

　　We must change, we must arm ourselves with new military thinking, and actively participate in this kind of war against weak forces!

Who dares to accuse Zhang Zhong’s teachers? This work also explains what a strong person should do, but some people don’t read, listen, or learn! What happened this time was not caused by Zhang Zhongjiao. When Vietnamese frogmen hung explosives under the US warship, who should blame the Americans for not reflecting on it?

 Zhang Zhongshuo in every issue can grasp the key points and attract attention. This program still maintains a high standard.

“Actually, dealing with this kind of attack is very simple. You just need to mount Lao Ganma on the side of the warship and send sentries to guard it to prevent surface speedboats from getting close.”

"Lao Gan Ma? Military fans should know that this Lao Gan Ma is not hot sauce. I hope the audience in front of the TV will not misunderstand. Bringing Lao Gan Ma hot sauce will not prevent this kind of attack. The Lao Gan Ma I am talking about is M2 Heavy machine gun, although this kind of heavy machine gun is antique equipment and older than me, it is very popular in the army and is called MaDeuce by the soldiers. When we translate it, it is Lao Ganma."

 At the end of the recording program, Zhang Zhong left the studio and saw Qin Tao standing outside.

“Mr. Qin, you haven’t left yet?”

“Yeah, I see you are becoming more and more mature as you record the show, over and over again, and you also use what I said.”

"Weakness and ignorance are never obstacles to survival, arrogance is? This sentence is really good. Mr. Qin, your words are getting more and more insightful. I have to study hard. If you had said this earlier, I could Add it to the book "Unrestricted Warfare"," Zhang Zhong said.

Qin Tao smiled. This sentence was plagiarized. He liked it very much. When the news about the bombing of the Cole came out, Qin Tao happened to be in the capital, so he came to Zhang Zhong to talk about the ideas of this program. , said this casually, and Zhang Zhong remembered it.

Those people must know that we are harmless rabbits, don’t target us, look at those who caused the explosions, they are your biggest enemies!

This is why Qin Tao came to Zhang Zhong. He had to give Zhang Zhong an idea and give him a main line for his program.

 The recording of this program is quite good, and Qin Tao was very satisfied after watching it.

"It's not too late. This incident has once again stirred up interest in your book. It will definitely be sold in large quantities. Next time you print it, just add this sentence." Qin Tao said: "Let's go , let’s go to dinner, why do you guys who make TV shows like to record in the middle of the night?”

“Because the silent night makes us think. However, it’s not too late now. You can see that there are still many people outside.”

 The capital is very bustling, and there are still many cars and people outside in the middle of the night.

 This is our motherland, the motherland that our military workers work hard to protect. I hope that the motherland can seize development opportunities one after another and continue to grow!

 Far away in Europe, two warships were breaking through the waves and fighting through the thorns.

“The wind and waves here have been very strong. It’s a good opportunity for us to train our troops!” Wu Fu said to Li Chun on the 167th.

"This wind and waves can't stop us at all." Li Chun said: "We have confidence in our warships! If we encounter a war, we must be able to fight in such waves!"

“Radar report, a warship was spotted ahead!”

"Adjust the radio to the public channel." Wu Fu picked up the intercom and pressed the switch: "This is the Eastern European Visiting Formation. This is the Eastern European Visiting Formation. Salute to the warships ahead!"

  “This is the Royal Navy destroyer D97, welcoming you to visit the UK.”

In the big waves, a military family member swayed left and right. The big ball on the top of the bridge and the Sea Dart missile in front of the bridge were very conspicuous. This is the current main Type 42 destroyer of the British Navy. Before the Type 45 destroyer entered service, It must always exist as the backbone of the navy.

At this time, on the destroyer D97, the sailors of the Royal Navy looked at the modern warship, at the four small shields on the top of the main mast, and at the large rotating shield on the hangar behind. Their eyes were filled with envy.

 The Royal Navy's Type 45 destroyer can also reach this level and will definitely be stronger than the Eastern ones!

Captain Philip had a complicated expression on his face. They could only send this warship to greet them, but they were outmatched! If I had known earlier, I should have sent an invincible-class aircraft carrier!

Just as he was sighing, the first mate ran over: "A new order came from the No. 16 data link, requiring us to immediately change course and go to the waters of Gibraltar to intercept a Parthian oil tanker. The mission to meet the Eastern Fleet will be a frigate. bear!"

“Okay, report to the fleet and we will execute the order immediately.”

The Type 42 destroyer passed by No. 167, and the two sides did not form a formation. This made everyone on No. 167 curious: "What happened to them?"

"Are you embarrassed to form a formation with us? You will lose face after such a comparison."

 “This is too rude.”

Wu Fu looked at the direction the warship was leaving and frowned.

The situation is not peaceful recently. A Burke-class destroyer was bombed. Next, they will definitely take revenge. Could it be that this Royal Navy warship also went on a special mission?

 Forget it, it has nothing to do with you, as long as you complete the task well.

 Half an hour later, a Type 23 frigate braved the wind and waves and came to meet them.

Starting from the Type 22, the Royal Navy's frigates began to get bigger and bigger. Although they are called frigates, their displacement is similar to that of a destroyer. Although a larger hull is very helpful for sea resistance, seaworthiness and sustained combat power, It will also cause the cost to soar. When the Type 22 was built, the cost was actually higher than the Type 42 destroyer.

Later, when the Type 23 was built, the displacement of the frigates was slightly reduced, but the cost was still not controlled. When these frigates were built, the Falklands War had ended, so some experiences from the Falklands War were learned, such as paying attention to damage control. For example, fully use steel instead of aluminum alloy, etc.

The biggest feature of this kind of frigate is that it has anti-ship missiles stuck in the front. It looks a bit nondescript and is easy to recognize at a glance.

"A Type 23 ship came. It seems that they broke the pot." Li Chun said with a smile: "They are standing side by side with us. I don't know what they think. When their Type 45 comes out, I think we will all It’s a 10,000-ton truck.”

 “The dusk of the empire?” The first mate glanced outside and saw that the sun was already setting.

The port is still full of people, just like the scene in Germany and France. Many overseas Chinese living in the UK have come to see the style of the motherland's warships.
