The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

He inspected the Type 002B aircraft carrier, had cordial exchanges with the officers and soldiers on board, and learned their true evaluation of the Type 002B aircraft carrier.

The Type 002B aircraft carrier is assigned to the East China Sea Fleet and its home port is Zhoushan Port.

It is expected that the Third Aircraft Carrier Group will carry out escort missions in the Gulf of Aden next year, after it has initially formed combat effectiveness.

If necessary, we will pay friendly visits to friendly countries around the world.

Although the Type 002B aircraft carrier is classified as a medium-sized aircraft carrier, it is reasonable to say that it is a large aircraft carrier.

Afterwards, a J-11C fighter jet was quickly launched by the electromagnetic catapult system.

Zhang Zhaozhong praised the electromagnetic catapult highly.

In his opinion, replacing steam catapults with electromagnetic catapults is simply the right thing to do.

The electromagnetic catapult uses less energy than the steam catapult, and its size is much smaller than the steam catapult. Its weight is only one tenth of the steam catapult on the Type 002 aircraft carrier, and it eliminates many pipes, which is of great significance to the safe operation of the aircraft carrier and the reduction of weight and increase of speed.

In terms of the number of operators, the electromagnetic catapult of the Type 002B aircraft carrier is 002% less than the steam catapult of the Type aircraft carrier!
Moreover, the electromagnetic catapult's launching force can not only launch carrier-based fighter jets, but also launch drones.

Not only that, the electromagnetic catapult of the 002B aircraft carrier can also launch early warning aircraft, refueling aircraft, and electronic warfare aircraft.

This makes the combat capability of the Type 002B aircraft carrier much stronger than that of the Type 002 aircraft carrier.

After all, the combat effectiveness of an aircraft carrier is determined by the carrier-based aircraft on it.

Early warning aircraft are known as the force multiplier of the air force.

As for the tanker, it can refuel fighter jets in the air.

Not to mention electronic warfare aircraft, which can directly carry out electronic interference on the enemy's fighter jets, ships, etc.

Zhang Zhaozhong is now extremely looking forward to the Type 003 aircraft carrier, which is a large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that is larger and can carry more carrier-based aircraft.

Large aircraft carriers, that is what major powers should pursue!
Light aircraft carriers are suitable for small countries; medium aircraft carriers are suitable for medium-sized powers; large aircraft carriers are suitable for large and powerful countries!
Even Russia has announced that it will restart the construction of large aircraft carriers, and is obviously unwilling to use medium-sized aircraft carriers now.

The United States has been developing large aircraft carriers for a long time.

Zhang Zhaozhong was very excited thinking that the Type 003 aircraft carrier would be launched next year and delivered to the navy in 2010.

Aircraft carriers are absolutely the most important weapon of a country, a true weapon of a great power, and a sharp sword in the hands of a great power. They can both defend against and attack the enemy.

The only warships that can be compared with aircraft carriers are strategic nuclear submarines.

But when it comes to deterring most countries, aircraft carriers are obviously more deterrent.

Because strategic nuclear submarines often carry intercontinental missiles, which are equipped with nuclear warheads.

This is more of a deterrent, and the deterrence is aimed at specific countries. Small and medium-sized countries do not have to worry about being threatened by strategic nuclear submarines because they do not have the qualifications.

But aircraft carriers are different. Their deterrent power can be felt by all countries in the world.

"How long will it take you to form combat effectiveness and fight against pirates?" Liu Tao asked.

"It will take at least half a year to form combat effectiveness, but if we want to fight pirates, we can do so at any time!" Zhang Zhaozhong said firmly.

If it is a war, then we need to form real combat capability. If it is to bully a country that poses no threat, then it will only take half a year.

But if we want to fight piracy, we can do it anytime.

"Then you go and fight the pirates and train your troops at the same time!" Liu Tao said.

Using the fight against piracy as military training is a luxury that China can afford nowadays.

Twenty years ago, it would have been unthinkable. But now it is different. We can use aircraft carrier fleets to fight pirates.

However, this kind of anti-piracy training can only be used as actual combat training. After all, there is no war that can really allow the aircraft carrier formation to fight.

Of course, this is not just a matter of Liu Tao's words, there must be a transfer.

Liu Tao dined with the officers and soldiers on the ship. The food was quite rich, with vegetables, meat and soup.

The navy’s food is considered the best among the three armed forces.

Even the Air Force cannot compare to the Navy in terms of food.

It’s not that there is a big gap in the food standards between the two, but that the navy can catch seafood under the standards set by the state, which is equivalent to an extra meal, so the food will naturally be better.

The thing the navy least craves is seafood.

Because this is too common for the navy.

The hardest working people in the navy were the submarine soldiers, because they had to perform tasks underwater for a long time, and underwater is not the same as the sea. The light there is very weak, or even no light at all.

Under the sea, there are all kinds of strange animals, many of which are rarely seen in the world. They are pitch black, which often causes great psychological pressure on soldiers.

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

Submarine soldiers often take leave after completing their missions, and help them adapt to the new environment with the help of a psychological counselor.

As for surface ships, the working environment is much better.

Liu Tao left without staying on the Type 002B aircraft carrier for long.

When he arrived in the Magic City, it was already dark.

The night in Shanghai is bustling with traffic and seems unusually prosperous.

Shanghai is currently the economic center of the mainland and the core city of the Yangtze River Delta. It is already very prosperous. If it had not been developed for such a short time, it would probably be comparable to New York in the United States.

Modu Port is the largest port in China and also the largest port in the world, having surpassed Yangcheng Port.

This time Liu Tao came to Shanghai because of the listing of Shanghai Port.

Liu Tao originally had no plan to list Modou Port, or rather, he did not plan to list Modou Port so early. However, Modou wanted to cash out its shares and had proposed it three times.

Liu Tao was also somewhat helpless. As a whole, the scale of Shanghai Port was so huge that the listing would be worth trillions of dollars, so going public was not a trivial matter.

Moreover, the Magic City Port is under continuous construction, but there is no shortage of funds. The annual revenue and profits are sufficient to support the development of the Magic City Port.

There is indeed no need for listing and financing.

Modou Port is naturally a high-quality asset. No matter from which aspect, it is a very high-quality asset.

However, Modou wants to cash out. After all, only when Modou Port is listed, the shares held by Modou will be real and visible assets that can be traded.

Otherwise, as Modou Port Industry has not distributed dividends, Modou Port would not be able to get any money.

This is the difference.

The purpose of Liu Tao's visit this time is to hold a shareholders' meeting and then decide whether to list Modou Port, whether to list it as a whole or in parts, where to list it, etc.

These subordinates cannot make the final decision because they do not have enough rank and authority.

Liu Tao could understand the demands of Shanghai, but he did not quite agree with them.

Over the years, the companies under Panshan Group have been listed one after another, almost all the idle funds in the market have been absorbed, and the entire A-share market has grown by more than double. Under such circumstances, the listing of Modu Port is not the best time, and it may not truly reflect the true value of Modu Port. (End of this chapter)
