The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 1021 Type 002 Aircraft Carrier Delivery Ceremony

After Liu Tao finished his speech, two military leaders spoke.

Then came the speech by the leader of the shipbuilding industry, and after the speech, it was time for the formal delivery and naming ceremony.

First, the leaders presented the flag and naming certificate to the officers and soldiers of Ship No. 17!
Captain Zhang Zhaozhong accepted the military flag and certificate from the leaders on behalf of the officers and soldiers. Then the officers and soldiers and the aircraft carrier were reviewed by the naval leaders.

The ceremony was very grand. Thousands of people witnessed the delivery and commissioning of the Chinese Navy's second aircraft carrier, the Type 002, amid the national anthem.

The delivery ceremony of the Type 002 aircraft carrier was broadcast live by CCTV, and more than 10 billion people around the world watched and witnessed this history together.

Countless Chinese people are extremely excited about this great moment and are proud of the remarkable achievements made in the country's national defense construction.

Even the Chinese people living overseas are equally proud of their motherland.

Only when the motherland becomes strong will the Chinese people overseas not be bullied.

Next, the leaders began to board the ship and visit the Type 002 aircraft carrier. By now, the Type 002 aircraft carrier has everything.

Only when you arrive on the deck can you truly feel how big the Type 002 aircraft carrier is!

The leaders came to the J-11C carrier-based aircraft on the deck and chatted happily.

As we all know, the construction of Type 002B aircraft carrier has started. Although Type 002B aircraft carrier is also a medium-sized aircraft carrier and a sister ship of Type 002 aircraft carrier, it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Everyone visited the J-11C carrier-based aircraft, the "Ray Eagle" helicopter, the "Wu Diao" helicopter, and then visited the cockpit, the aviation command room, etc.

Finally, everyone came into the hangar and was very excited to see the huge hangar full of planes.

Just one aircraft carrier can play a very important role.

An aircraft carrier fleet can even deal a severe blow to a medium-sized country.

Zhang Zhaozhong introduced that since he stepped down as captain and commander of the Type 001 light aircraft carrier, Zhang Zhaozhong was ordered to become the captain of the Type 002 aircraft carrier and fleet commander. He devoted all his time and energy to the research of the Type 002 aircraft carrier and aircraft carrier formation combat research, and trained soldiers.

Zhang Zhaozhong knew the heavy responsibility on his shoulders, because this was the cradle of aircraft carriers, and his mission was to train talents for aircraft carriers and aircraft carrier fleets, and to explore the use of aircraft carriers and the operations of aircraft carrier formations.

China is still feeling its way forward in the use of aircraft carriers and aircraft carrier formation operations. This is the first time.

If a leader takes the wrong path, the price he pays can be heavy.

Even if a war breaks out, the entire aircraft carrier fleet may be in danger of destruction.

Back then, Zhang Zhaozhong, who was only 32 years old, was appointed as the captain of the first Type 054 frigate. He witnessed the development of the Chinese Navy in the past 054 years. He served as the captain of the Type 052 frigate, the captain of the Type 001 destroyer, the captain of the Type 002 light aircraft carrier and fleet commander, and now the captain of the Type medium aircraft carrier and fleet commander.

He is already 48 years old this year. He is no longer as handsome as he was when he was young, and he even has some white hair, but he looks more mature and stable.

Moreover, he not only developed aircraft carriers and studied aircraft carrier operations, but also wrote books, which became must-reads for students at the Naval Military Academy. He would occasionally appear on television to popularize national defense education. If you ask who in the military knows the most about aircraft carriers, Zhang Zhaozhong is second to none.

His representative monographs on the ocean include "The Impact of the Future Ocean Century", "Introduction to the Law of Naval Warfare", and "Apocalypse of Modern Naval Warfare"; his representative monographs on war and military affairs include "Weapons Knowledge Base", "How Far Is War From Us", "Who is Creating War", "Cyber ​​War", "Who Can Win the Next War", "Winning the Information War", "A Century-old Aircraft Carrier", and "The Next War"; his monographs on national defense construction include "Talking about National Defense", "Are We Safe Tomorrow", "Who is the Next Target", and "China Keeps War Away".

He not only serves as the captain of the Type 002 aircraft carrier and the fleet commander, but also serves as a professor at the National Defense University, and has to take time out every semester to give lectures to students.

He led the team and visited 55 countries, including Cambodia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, West Bengal, Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Persia, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE, Oman, Yemen, Egypt, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Madagascar, Comoros, South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Morocco, Spain, Libya, Tunisia, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Greece, Italy, France, Britain, the Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, the United States, Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, and South Korea.

At noon, a celebration banquet was held. It was very grand and was prepared directly by the imperial chef. It can be said that this was both a celebration banquet and a state banquet.

One can imagine the importance of the Type 002 aircraft carrier.

In the afternoon, the Type 002 aircraft carrier sounded the whistle and left the Yangcheng Shipyard. The next time it comes, it may be only for a major overhaul!

The Type 002 aircraft carrier was not transferred north to the North Sea Fleet. Instead, the Type 001 aircraft carrier and its fleet were transferred north to the North Sea Fleet, and the Type 002 aircraft carrier was transferred to the South China Sea Fleet for service.

This is also related to the current situation facing China. Stability in Southeast Asia is more important than anything else.

The 'ASEAN 10+1' mechanism is related to the development of regional economy.

The service of the Type 002 aircraft carrier has also caused heated discussions. China is naturally excited, and its national pride and self-confidence are overflowing. After all, this is an aircraft carrier!

There is no doubt that the commissioning of the Type 002 aircraft carrier is a gift for National Day, and the people across the country are satisfied with this gift.

As for France, it has to urge the "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier to serve as soon as possible. Now France needs the "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier to support the situation.

After suffering a great defeat in Africa, France could no longer hold on and withdrew its troops back to its homeland in disgrace, licking its wounds in silence, waiting for them to heal before continuing to strengthen itself and seize back its power.

All French people with lofty ideals understand that France cannot afford to lose its sphere of influence in Africa. Once it loses its interests in Africa, France can only be a European power, not a world power.

France urgently needs the "Charles de Gaulle" aircraft carrier to support it, after all, aircraft carriers are a reflection of a country's comprehensive national strength.

In the UK, the Parliament urgently approved additional military spending for the construction of the 'Queen Elizabeth' aircraft carrier, and announced that the 'Queen Elizabeth' aircraft carrier is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, a large aircraft carrier with a displacement of 6.5 tons, and will be completed and put into service in 2008.

It is obvious that Britain and France are unwilling to be left further and further behind in the navy and want to fight for their place.

Britain and France are unwilling to accept the situation of losing the battle but not the battle.

The polar bears did not react to this. Now their huge navy has put a lot of pressure on them. After all, a lot of money is needed every year to maintain, upkeep and operate it.

The current low oil price still has a significant impact on the polar bears' oil revenue. The polar bears really do not have extra money to develop aircraft carriers.
