The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Type 001 aircraft carrier.

The deck was already full of planes.

There are not only "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft, but also "Ray Eagle" helicopters and "Wu Diao" helicopters!

The carrier-based aircraft and helicopters are all loaded with weapons.

I saw a carrier-based aircraft take off and fly towards an island.

The island is about 30 square kilometers in size, with a population of , and a pirate flag fluttering in the wind.

The first batch of three "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft flew in from the sea.

at the same time.

All the computer screens on the island were suddenly covered with snow.

"What's going on?" A pirate stood up. At that moment, he thought that he was staring at the screen for too long and caused his eyes to be dizzy.

But then, more people started shouting, “What’s going on?”

Everyone's computer screens turned into snow.

The computer screen turned into snowflakes, not because the screen was damaged, but because there were too many data jumping on it! It couldn't be refreshed, so it turned into snowflakes.

"Hackers are invading! Hurry, call the network security team over!" A pirate reacted and shouted immediately.

But at this time, the newly arrived "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft had already launched an attack, firing air-to-ground missiles.

"Boom~~" The anti-aircraft position was the first to be attacked.

In just a moment, the air defense position was destroyed!

Next is the artillery position. Only by destroying the artillery position can the Marines launch an attack. Otherwise, in the landing battle, the pirates' artillery will be enough to cause heavy losses to the Marines.

As soon as these three "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft completed the attack, the second batch of three "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft arrived, and the first batch of three "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft returned.

It took five rounds of air strikes before the warships approached the sea and fired artillery. The 130mm naval guns were very powerful.

Opportunities to fire so recklessly like this are extremely rare.

During normal training, we only fire about ten shots. It is impossible to use up all the shells like we do now.

At this time, the Marines began to prepare for landing.

The hatch of the landing ship has been opened, and the Type 81 amphibious tanks have driven out of the hatch one after another, entered the water, and began to launch a landing operation towards the island.

In the air, "Sea Hawk" fighters, "Ray Eagle" helicopters and "Wu Diao" helicopters provide cover, and the warships behind provide artillery cover.

This is a real war. Although there are only pirates on this island, more than a thousand pirates, but these thousand pirates are well-equipped and are not ordinary pirates.

The attack at this time was being rehearsed as a normal war.

Although it feels like using a butcher knife to kill a fly, which is quite wasteful.

But the commander thought it was worth it.

Although this is different from a normal war, it is still better than the actual combat drills conducted in normal times.

How to improve the combat capability of warships has always been a major problem that has plagued the entire navy, because in peacetime, there are no large-scale wars and no naval battles to accumulate combat experience.

We can't learn from the US military, bully the small, and specifically pick a small country to start a war.

They punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten.

China would never do such a thing.

Therefore, at this time, we can only fight pirates and practice!

The "Sea Hawk" fighter jet, which was once regarded as a treasure by the Navy, is now disliked by the Navy because the "Sea Hawk" carrier-based aircraft is a fixed-wing fighter with short take-off and vertical landing, which greatly limits its bomb and fuel capacity.

But it is a powerful weapon against pirates, because pirates may have anti-aircraft weapons, but no planes.

This means that as long as the air defense weapons are destroyed, the air supremacy of the entire island will be firmly controlled, and air strikes can be launched against the pirates.

When the Type 81 amphibious tank officially landed on the island, it also meant that the suspense of this battle was completely lost.

It didn't take long before all the pirates were wiped out.

"Reporting to the commander, we counted the spoils on the island and found 45 tons of gold."

"What's going on?" Lin Jianguo was surprised.

It’s not that he hasn’t attacked islands before, but the spoils are often less, and it’s rare that the spoils are enough to offset the cost.

There are 45 tons of gold on this island alone. With so much gold, it is more than enough for 10 attacks, let alone just this one time.

"Report to the commander, there is a gold mine on this island!"

Lin Jianguo suddenly stood up and said, "The gold mine now has 45 tons. Does that mean it is a large gold mine and can be mined more?"
Lin Jianguo personally reported to his superiors using a satellite phone.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

How big the gold mine is needs to be assessed by professionals.

It took more than ten days to send all the pirates' families on the island to other places, and the entire island became a military control zone.

More than half a month later, a professional team arrived with instruments and began to explore the island's gold mines.

What shocked Lin Jianguo was that the proven gold reserves reached 400 tons, and the predicted underground prospective gold reserves exceeded 1000 tons.

This is indeed a large gold mine, or even a super large gold mine!
Most importantly, the quality here is very high, with the gold content reaching an astonishing 65 grams per ton.

He finally understood why these pirates had so much gold.

With just simple equipment, you can mine gold and smelt it.

Lin Jianguo naturally knew the importance of gold.

Gold is a hard currency and in most countries of the world, a portion of their foreign exchange reserves are held in gold.

You can worry about the depreciation of the US dollar and the euro, but you don’t have to worry about the depreciation of gold.

Moreover, gold can be traded at any time, and there are many countries in the world that want to buy gold.

It is not just banks in China that are buying gold. Even ordinary people often pay attention to the "three golds" when getting married. China has been the world's largest gold consumer for many years.

I guess even the government can’t count how much gold the Chinese people have.

Because some of the gold is smuggled, and some of it is bought by ordinary people when they travel abroad, buy gold jewelry there, and wear it back home.

There is no way to make statistics on this.

With this gold mine, gold can be mined continuously.

Liu Tao also got the news soon. He was also surprised that there was such a large gold mine on this island.

This large gold mine surpasses the largest gold mine in the mainland.

Then comes happiness and joy.

China is already one of the world's largest gold producers, but its gold consumption far exceeds its production, and it still needs to import large quantities every year.

The discovery of this giant gold mine will undoubtedly provide strong support for China to alleviate the problem of insufficient gold production capacity.

It cannot be said that the shortage of gold production capacity can be completely alleviated, but at least we can import less gold.

Moreover, this will also be of great benefit to increasing the country's gold reserves.

In recent years, China's foreign exchange reserves, the largest part of which is gold reserves, are used to maintain the stability of the RMB. (End of this chapter)
