African Nationhood

The person who came to accept the ship on behalf of the Navy was Huang Jiacai. He is now the third most powerful general in the Navy and the Minister of the Navy of the Navy Guard. This kind of landing ship is the main ship of their Navy Guard.

When they arrived at the Durban Second Shipyard in a military vehicle, the whole shipyard was very lively with red and colorful decorations.

Huang Jiacai and his party were also moved by the atmosphere of the Second Shipyard, with smiles on their faces.

Tian Dameng received the notification and rushed to greet him immediately. When the two sides met, a warm exchange of greetings was indispensable.

After the greetings were completed, Tian Dameng led the way towards the captain's dock.

"General Huang, it is an honor for our factory to receive an order from the military. It is an honor for us to contribute to the country. More than 6000 workers in the whole factory feel very honored."

Huang Jiacai expressed his understanding of Director Tian's excitement and followed Tian Dameng's words of praise.

The group arrived at the acceptance site. The landing ship in front of them was wide and sturdy, with two 15-ton tower cranes placed on low platforms at both ends of the ship. Convenient to transport aircraft or landing craft.

In the middle is a wide flat deck, signal antenna and chimney, which is used to place aircraft.

I saw a large silk red flower hanging on the new boat, and a bottle of champagne tied to the bow. This arrangement can be said to be a combination of Chinese and Western styles.

"General Huang, please cut the rope in front of us. It will be considered a successful launch."

The Huang family listened to Tian Dameng's advice and used scissors to cut the red ribbon tied to the dock.

"Click"

The cut ribbon fell down, and the champagne tied in the middle fell freely and hit the bow of the ship. After a "bang" sound, the wine splashed on the bow of the ship.

"Bang bang~~~"

Firecrackers went off and people at the scene cheered.

"Woo~~"

The new ship blew its whistle, and Huang Jiacai and his party, together with Tian Dameng, stepped onto the deck of the new ship. Standing on the bow, they could truly feel the vastness of the landing ship.

It has just been received and has not yet been installed. The specific performance will only be known after the naval guard's landing exercise.

……

After Huang Jiacai inspected the ship and inspected the new landing craft and the firepower configuration on the ship, he signed the official acceptance document on behalf of the Navy Department.

The next step was to drive out of Durban Bay to Mapu Port (today's Maputo, Mozambique), where their naval guard headquarters was located.

……

A month later, the military announced that a landing exercise would be conducted on the Mapu Peninsula in Mapu Bay, and all non-military units or ships would not be allowed to enter the bay.

During this exercise, Chairman Shi of the South China National Defense Commission led a group of general-level officers to the scene. Each senior general held a telescope to view the entire landing ship in the bay.

As the commander-in-chief of the exercise, Huang Jiacai used an electronic loudspeaker to announce "the landing exercise has begun" after consulting Chairman Shi.

As the order was issued, the landing ship began to slowly launch, rumbling and shaking the water.

As the landing ship approached, there were only 10 kilometers left from the Mapu Peninsula. Instead, the ship stopped and anchored, and then the crane on the ship began to move, first hoisting the seaplane.

The boom in the middle of the ship also started working at the same time, and the boom lowered the Feiyu Type B boat into the sea.

The tail part is divided into two aspects. First, the crane lifts the Flying Fish A-type and puts it into the sea.

In addition, the flooding hatch at the rear is mechanically opened so that the Flying Fish A-type landing craft in the dock can directly launch into the sea through the slide rails.

The Flying Fish armor that was launched into the sea through the slide rails was already filled with heavily armed soldiers.

In this way, the Feiyu landing craft that launches into the sea through the stern flooding hatch is the fastest and fully prepared landing craft.

The Flying Fish B landing craft unloaded by the middle boom and the seaplane unloaded by the bow crane are not ready yet.

A surprise was soon discovered through the flooded tail hatch. The Flying Fish A landing craft actually carried an armored vehicle.

As the armored vehicles appeared, the officers at the scene all had smiles on their faces. Nanhua's armored vehicles are the most powerful weapons in the world. Now it is Nanhua's internal military exercise, so they can be shown to others without any scruples.

The target of a small landing craft is very small, and it is not easy for shore defense guns to aim at it.

Moreover, once the aircraft carried on the landing ship take off and the bombs are released, the shore defense position will be unable to defend itself.

Once the landing craft transporting the armored vehicles lands, the armored vehicles with 50mm thick armor will become a mobile fortress that can be attacked by machine guns and rifles.

Army soldiers following the armored vehicles can perform perfect output. When the armored vehicles attack the coastal defense artillery positions, the exercise will come to an end.

……

Generally speaking, the Nanhua Army is currently focusing on practicing "three-dimensional combat" tactics.

With the assistance of landing ships, the three-dimensional strike strategy also has support and material foundation.

In the past, Nanhua's aircraft had a short endurance and could not fly long distances. Now with the landing ship, they can carry out multiple saturation attacks within ten kilometers of the enemy.

This saturation attack is Chairman Shi Jintang's favorite attack method, and the next step is to develop the bulldozer mode of steel torrent.

……

Today's exercise is the first show of the landing ship. The senior officers of the National Defense Commission are very satisfied with this new method, and the three-dimensional strike is also satisfying.

"Chairman, your idea of ​​​​the landing ship is really brilliant. Our navy was also worried about how to attack in areas without good harbors. With the landing ship, the problems that troubled us before have been solved."

Seeing his old classmate being so optimistic, Shi Jintang couldn't help but pour cold water on him.

"Commander Xue, don't be too happy. Our landing ship still has many problems and is not perfect. For example, it is very slow when stopping to unload aircraft and landing craft.

What if the enemy launches a sneak attack with a submarine?

What if the other party also has a plane? "

After hearing what Shi Jintang said, Xue Youfu's face froze, "Chairman, you can think of it, and I can of course think of it too. Isn't it that we haven't reached that point yet?

We will continue to conduct targeted exercises. In the area of ​​aircraft, Nanhua is still unique in the world.

We have installed anti-aircraft guns on naval ships. Against slow-speed biplanes, our anti-aircraft guns have a high success rate.

In addition, the sonar research you directed has made a breakthrough, and I believe it will be fruitful soon.

As long as our R&D ideas are correct, we will always be one step ahead. "

Hearing this, Shi Jintang couldn't help but sigh, thinking quietly in his heart: That's because I'm here, which has saved your research and development from a lot of detours. Once I'm gone, Nanhua will suffer even more. ah.

Fortunately, he did not die so soon, and Nanhua's national power still had a long period of growth.

"Old Xue, I can tell from your words that you front-line generals have begun to grow proud.

This is true for all your front-line generals, let alone the officers below.

This phenomenon needs to be taken seriously, and the next step is to conduct a 'rectification' of the military.

Strictly investigate the arrogant and arrogant people, no matter who they are, they will be severely punished.

Everyone in the military must go through a baptism, otherwise our defeat is inevitable! "

Xue Youfu didn't expect that his casual words would trigger such a harsh reaction from Chairman Shi.

His face was sad, "Yes, Chairman, we will actively carry out self-examination to prevent the appearance of exaggerated people in the army."

"No need, I will arrange for the gendarmerie to conduct this picket.

In addition, Tian Wenqing, the director of the General Military Propaganda Department, was a bit incompetent, so he was asked to write an inspection and inform the entire National Defense Committee.

If it happens again, I will be dismissed immediately! "(End of chapter)
