I built an armada.

Chapter 329: So many people were asked at once, which frightened several leaders

Having said that, he paused, picked up the tea and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Then he began to explain again.

"This one is a modified version of the 051C, and its sales target is oil-rich countries. This prototype 051C has a lower cost and price, and is aimed at those who don't have much money but have demand."

"Dingping said that buying an oil-rich country is to make a profit, but selling it to a tribe that doesn't have much money is purely a matter of small profits but quick turnover. What you are selling is favors."

"He also suggested that the production of 051C be transferred to other shipbuilding bases, and more shipbuilding bases be built as soon as possible. There should be at least dozens of shipbuilding bases of the same scale, large and small."

"This way, even if the western tribes want to destroy our shipbuilding industry, it will be impossible."

"If war comes, destroying a few shipbuilding bases will also ensure the rapid deployment of troops, without having to worry about subsequent shortages."

"He said that our shipyards should all have a fairly high shipbuilding capacity."

Sun Yongguo's words shocked Xu Dongguo greatly, and his eyes gradually widened.

It was obvious that Su Dingping's considerations were almost more profound and comprehensive than those of him, the head of the naval fleet.

Once Su Dingping's goal is achieved, huge economies of scale can be generated in the field of civil shipbuilding, and it will be possible to compete in the international market with high quality and low prices, and it will be invincible.

Even though the shipbuilding industries of the Bangzi tribe and the Donghuang tribe are very developed, as long as the Longxia tribe is given enough time, they will surely be defeated.

It turned out that Su Dingping's vision was no longer limited to the present, but he looked at the future development of the Longxia Navy from a strategic perspective.

Hiding troops among the people makes this a practically invincible move.

For Western tribes, there is basically no solution.

"Gulu!"

Xu Dongguo's throat moved violently back and forth twice, and he asked in surprise, "Ding, did Dingping really say that?"

"Commander, I am paraphrasing you verbatim."

"I don't need to go into detail about this aspect. He will personally hand in a report to you in a few days. I think after you read it, you will find that what I talked about today is just the tip of the iceberg."

Sun Yongguo responded seriously that he actually didn't dare to say too much, for fear that he didn't fully understand Su Dingping's true intentions and might mis-convey the information.

"Then let's talk about this matter after he reports to me."

Xu Dongguo picked up the two pictures and looked at them carefully. "Dingping is really thoughtful and has adopted this method to cover all customers."

"Hey, that's just talk from other tribes. I can't take it too seriously."

"After all, making money is the most important thing. We can't do business at a loss."

"We will do what Dingping said and launch these two warships to the international market at the same time. The modified version of 051C and 051C will be sold to foreign countries at the same time to meet the needs of different customers."

It can be said that Xu Dongguo has been deeply impressed by Su Dingping's idea. Before, it was just a temporary idea, and he did not say that he must build a 052B battleship production line.

On the other hand, adopting the solution of using one dish to serve two meals provided by Su Dingping is the most realistic and reliable solution.

If handed over to some local shipbuilding bases, it can really greatly enhance the shipbuilding capabilities of those enterprises and quickly cultivate the second and third echelons of naval shipbuilding.

In this way, not only money was earned, but the strength of the Longxia tribe's shipbuilding industry was also greatly enhanced.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

He was very happy to see Su Dingping's rebuttal.

"Commander, I have something else I need to tell you."

"In addition to the huge amount of funds required for this upgrade, we can also slowly find ways to get advanced equipment."

"The only problem is that the demand for personnel is very huge. Dingping said that more than 20,000 people are needed."

When Xu Dongguo heard what Sun Yongguo said, he was stunned for a moment and his head was buzzing.

"Where can I get so many people for him?"

"During the first two expansions, the navy has sent out tens of thousands of people, and almost emptied the navy. Even now, there are still some gaps in the navy's logistics department that have not been filled."

When it comes to skilled technical workers, Xu Dongguo gets a headache.

Right now we have to maintain the normal logistical support for several large fleets, as well as other security matters, so we simply cannot squeeze in that many people.

More than 20,000 people are equivalent to two division-level configurations. Together with the original more than 10,000 people, Su Dingping and others have to control three divisions.

His power is almost as great as that of an army commander.

"Chief, the expansion is imminent and has entered the final preparation stage."

Sun Yongguo quickly added that when he came here, he was repeatedly reminded that technical workers must be recruited as soon as possible, otherwise the expansion progress would be slowed down, leading to a series of subsequent problems.

He naturally knew the urgency of it.

No matter what, he had to make this happen today.

When Xu Dongguo thought of the 10,000-ton super destroyer that Su Dingping briefly mentioned at the meeting that day, how could he sit still?
"Sun Yongguo, go back and tell Dingping that I will take care of this matter. I will definitely get all the people together for him."

Only after receiving a satisfactory answer did Sun Yongguo return home.

After the expansion of the integrated military factory is completed, the navy will enter the explosive growth mode and will frantically produce the 052D advanced missile destroyer, which will become the navy's absolute main battleship and a powerful weapon for the navy to safeguard its maritime rights and interests.

Several large fleets will be deployed.

The scale of thirty or forty ships is very exciting just thinking about it, and it can be completed in a very short period of time. The navy wants to show the world that warships can be built as crazy as making dumplings.

After sending Sun Yongguo away, Xu Dongguo couldn't suppress his inner ecstasy.

Not only are there 052Ds, but there are also -ton destroyers.

The development of naval equipment has entered the fast lane. Instead of building in small batches and taking small steps as before, the major fleets will also usher in a peak period of equipment replacement.

A 10,000-ton destroyer was a big dream that Su Dingping had painted for him, and it also became his dream ship!

He was very excited at the thought that the navy would be equipped with these new warships and roam across the oceans of the blue planet.

The fact that there were more than 20,000 skilled technical workers really made him feel troubled, and he didn't even know where to find them.

If all of them are withdrawn from the navy, after the adjustment is completed, the navy's logistics and technical departments will become empty again, which is extremely unfavorable for the care and maintenance of naval warships.

At the beginning, the navy was not well-received and had the smallest number of personnel among the three services, so technical workers could only be drawn from within the navy.

A total of 12,000 to 13,000 people were mobilized, which is a very large scale. Fortunately, the navy was quickly replenished, but they are still in training and their numbers are insufficient.

Of course, those more than 10,000 people handed over to the integrated military factory did not come without benefit. They received a number of cutting-edge warships, which led to the size of the navy today and a series of subsequent events.

But who could have thought that the navy would develop so fast, far beyond his expectations. Now he asked for more than 20,000 people, which was double the amount.

The large number of people gave him a headache, but at the same time he was also relieved.

If all the personnel used were not from within the Navy, it would be hard to say whether 052D and 052C could keep their secrets and become the Navy's trump card weapons and equipment.

The expansion of the integrated military factory is of vital importance. He is still very worried about directly using new personnel. If the 052D and subsequent cutting-edge warships are leaked, it will be a loss.

Therefore, we must still use experienced veterans as we did before, but it is not realistic to draw too many veterans as they are also very important to the normal operation of the navy.

The only thing that made him happy was that Su Dingping gave him half a month, which was enough time.

For Su Dingping, the past half month was used to frantically upgrade the 052D production line.

"It seems that the navy still needs to recruit more people, otherwise there won't be enough."

"We need so many skilled workers all at once, and it's obviously unrealistic to recruit them."

After thinking it over, Xu Dongguo still couldn't think of a definite solution. Suddenly, a plan emerged in his mind, but the implementation of this plan was not something he could accomplish.

So he picked up the phone on the table and called Liu Huaming who was far away in Beijing.

Even though it's late at night and everyone is asleep, I can't care about that anymore.

The call was connected very quickly, and it was an internal video call.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Huaming simply started an online video conference, which is a very efficient internal network.

Several top commanders of the fleet gathered together, including Qian Wenbing, Xiao Chongjun, and Xu Dongguo. These people were all heavyweights in the navy and held real power.

If they gathered together so late at night, something big must have happened.

After receiving instructions from Liu Huaming, Xu Dongguo came up and explained the situation. Everyone was stunned after hearing it. There were not enough people, and the gap was so big.

Oh my god, this is going crazy.

"Oh my god, more than 20,000 people, that's too scary. Even if we move all the skilled workers there and the veterans on the warships away, it still won't be enough, not even a fraction of it."

After a moment, Qian Wenbing was the first to react and exclaimed.

The expansion of the integrated military factory means that more 052Ds and new warships can be obtained as soon as possible, but the demand for manpower is also huge.

"Don't even mention your place. Even if you empty my place, it still can't be enough. Add to that Lao Xu's place. Oh my god, Dingping is going to completely paralyze the logistics support capabilities of our entire navy."

"Commander, we have to find another way."

"Why not use the new recruits?"

Xiao Chongjun was very troubled, but he proposed a very immature solution.

"That won't work. It's risky for them to go. If the secrets are leaked, who will bear the consequences?"

Liu Huaming directly rejected it. The integrated military factory was too important to allow any mistakes.

"Commander, why don't we use civilian forces? We can draw troops from other shipbuilding bases and have them sign a confidentiality agreement."

"I think this method is relatively safe."

Xu Dongguo also proposed a solution at this time, which he had just thought of.

Although there are certain risks, they are generally controllable.

Liu Huaming shook his head and said, "The reason why the Navy has been able to make great progress in the past two years and keep the secrets of each batch of new warships is because of the good security measures and the use of experienced veterans."

"Once new people come in, it will be equivalent to the previous work on 051B."

"At that time, Lü Guangjun and his team attacked 051B and indeed took it down. It seemed to be highly confidential."

"But you all saw that those big countries, especially the Eagle Tribe and the East Wasteland Tribe, all knew the situation secretly, but they just deliberately didn't say it out."

Having said that, he paused, picked up the water glass and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"Do you want our new battleship to be leaked?"

"Whether it is the 052D or the new destroyer in the future, they are our core secrets and we will never allow any leaks to happen, so we must use reliable people."

Xu Dongguo nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with the chief's opinion. Dingping knew this at the beginning, so he used the navy's own people and there were no problems."

Qian Wenbing, Xiao Chongjun and others also nodded in agreement.

If we recruit people from the public, what if a spy sneaks in? Wouldn’t all the secrets be leaked?

Once military secrets are leaked, they will be used by the enemy on the battlefield in the future, causing immeasurable losses to the Longxia Navy and affecting the outcome of the war.

Just like the last battle against the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force, it was because the opponent did not know that the Longxia Navy already had new warships such as 052C and 052D, and they were even less aware of the combat performance of these warships, so they were able to attack them unexpectedly and ultimately achieved a glorious victory.

This time, he supported the union's admission and personally escorted Representative Long to Doha City. He also fought a pirate along the way, which directly maxed out his military strength.

If the new warships had not gathered at the port of Doha, those tribes would probably still be confused about the equipment status of the Longxia Navy, and would still be at the stage of several years ago.

"The newly built integrated military factory has saved us a lot of unnecessary steps."

"The entire expansion process was very cost-effective. He tried his best to save money, time and manpower wherever possible. He is a great treasure of our navy and a strategic-level scientist."

"Therefore, we must do everything we can to accommodate these 20,000 people in a timely manner and must not delay the progress."

"We must ensure the quality and quantity of this new modern military factory, which is advanced enough to surpass the entire Blue Planet."

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Liu Huaming spoke again with a serious expression on his face.

If building warships can be called fighting a war, then Su Dingping is the commander of the vanguard battalion charging into battle in the front, and they are all logistical support personnel providing escort.

Su Dingping has the ability to command the battle to victory, and they have to ensure adequate logistical supplies.

Otherwise, it would be like a good cook without rice.

Next, several people started discussing it, and finally Xu Dongguo simply came up with a plan.

"Commander, if it really doesn't work, we can just borrow someone."

"It doesn't matter if it's from the Army or the Air Force, as long as we can gather the people together."

Xu Dongguo's words immediately made Liu Huaming and everyone else's eyes suddenly brighten up. This was indeed a good idea.

However, in this case, Liu Huaming no longer has the final say and he has to ask Xue Shuai for help.
