Chapter 312: Fletcher Class Arrival
Dalyan Shipyard.

The two Fletcher destroyers were quietly moored at the pier.

As for the Rogue Eagle, they built as many as 175 Fletcher destroyers, most of which were concentrated in the Asia region, and they did not have time to return home after the war. So the delivery to the Dallion Shipyard was very fast.

After completing the formalities, the goods were basically in place in three days, and two ships were sent directly from Yokosuka to be delivered.

Second-hand C-47s also follow this model, and the number of purchases can be gathered from Asia. However, DC-3s have to be transferred from the Rogue Eagle's home country, so the delivery is relatively slow.

But these are minor issues.

Even though the relationship is not good, in business, everyone should still behave properly.

After all, everyone has their own needs. The transistor computers ordered by Commercial Machines have now been loaded onto the ship from Tianjin. In comparison, the needs of Rogue Eagle may be more urgent.

After all, they really don't have such advanced computers.

Ren Zhong had only seen some pictures of the warships of this period and had no direct understanding. Of course, the warships in the main world were similar, and he had only seen them on TV and in pictures, so it was natural for Ren Zhong to fly to Dallion to see the novelty.

When he arrived at the dock, Ren Zhong took a look and was shocked. Wow, it was so huge. Compared to the warship, he looked like a small bug!
Based on the data on paper, Ren Zhong had no idea about the size of the warship. When he saw Fletcher for the first time, he immediately felt insignificant.

Fletcher's length, width and draft are 114.8 meters, 12 meters and 5.5 meters, which may not seem big, but Ren Zhong is only 1 meters tall! Compared with this destroyer, he is just like an ant.

"Professor Liu, is this destroyer useful for the construction of our Jianghai-class destroyers?" Ren Zhong looked at it for a while and felt that apart from being big, this destroyer was completely incomparable to the modern missile ship in his mind, so he quickly lost interest and turned to ask Professor Liu Deming, the person in charge who followed him.

"Mr. Ren, it's so useful. It's really a timely help for our work." Professor Liu is still excited when talking about this. After all, who in their generation has the opportunity to observe such a warship at such a close distance?

"All of our researchers are now eating and living on board the ship. They want to quickly familiarize themselves with the differences between real warships and transport ships, and to gain as much experience as possible for the construction of new ships."

Ren Dian nodded heavily, and was very satisfied with the work attitude of these researchers.

"We still need to pay attention to our comrades' work and rest time. The rule that researchers should not work more than 12 hours a day is a red line. We must implement it conscientiously so that our comrades can fight a protracted war. We are building warships, and now is just the beginning. Destroyers and frigates are only our goals at this stage. In the future, we will also build aircraft carriers!" Ren Zhong said.

Although the voice was not loud, the researchers who followed Ren Zhong heard it and their blood seemed to boil.

If someone else had said this, these researchers probably wouldn't have believed it, but since Ren Zhong said it, they believed it absolutely 100%.

Because he has now brought out a brand new destroyer design for everyone, and also obtained two real destroyers for everyone to use as a reference!
What an execution!

"Don't worry, Mr. Ren, we will all do things strictly according to your requirements." Professor Liu said confidently. Of course, Ren Zhong couldn't see whether he could do it or not.

"Shall we go aboard and take a look?"

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of brakes coming from the dock, and then a group of people ran towards Ren Zhong and his party.

"Professor Liu, are there any other people scheduled to visit today?" Ren Zhong asked in confusion.

"No, Mr. Ren, it's just people from the fleet. They may have heard the news and are preparing to stop you." Professor Liu glanced at the people running over there and said with a wry smile.

"The fleet has been asking us to hand over these two destroyers to them for commissioning. That's impossible. They are for our shipyard to use for research. Mr. Ren, you must not just listen to the fleet's unreasonable demands and agree to them."

So that's how it is. It seems that this matter really needs to be resolved today, otherwise it will not be good for either the shipyard or the fleet.

Ren Zhong understood and made a decision quickly.

Just stand here and wait for them to come over.

Soon, a group of breathless people came running over. They had not yet changed their clothes and were no different from their colleagues on land.

"Mr. Ren, Mr. Ren," the middle-aged man in the lead walked quickly to Ren Zhong, stood at attention, and saluted, "Li Changxing of the XX Fleet, reporting in!"

"Mr. Ren, this is Li Changxing, commander of the XX Fleet." Professor Liu seemed to have dealt with Li Changxing a lot.

"Hello, Commander Li. I am just a idle wandering crane, and I am not worthy of such a gift from Commander Li." Ren Zhong stretched out his hands and shook Li Changxing tightly.

"Mr. Ren is a national hero. Who dares to say he is not worthy of the responsibility? Speaking of the initial march into the Northeast, my cousin Li Yunlong and I once worked together to conquer the pseudo-Xinjing. It's just that Lao Li is now stationed in a small country to promote the prestige of our country. I haven't seen him for a year." Li Changxing said excitedly. He was not the only one who said this. Now, all the researchers and military personnel of a certain level in the country knew about Ren Zhong's contribution and importance.

"Commander Li, thank you for your compliment. So that's how it is. Then there's no need for us to be so formal. Can I call you Brother Li, just like Li Yunlong does? If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Ren." Ren Zhong said with a smile.

When you give a gift to someone, you must ask for something in return. However, it just so happened that Ren Zhong also needed help from this person, so he took the opportunity to climb up the ladder that Li Changxing handed over.

"Then, I, Old Li, will respectfully obey your command. Brother Ren, Old Li has a favor to ask of you today." Li Changxing really wanted to help him and started calling him "brother".

"Don't panic, Brother Li. We haven't seen a real warship yet. How about we go up and take a look together and talk while watching?" Ren Zhong interrupted Li Changxing.

"Hahaha, Brother Ren is right. Let's go and take a look. Speaking of which, this warship is really powerful. It is one of the best in the country. It is several times better than those broken ships I have!" Li Changxing said with a hearty smile. The group boarded the ship and began their journey to visit Fletcher.

It has to be said that the Fletcher class has its own characteristics and advantages to become the main destroyer of the Rogue Eagle. After boarding the ship, seeing the 127mm naval gun turret at the bow was an eye-opener for Ren Zhong. It is much larger than the 150mm cannon on land. It is dual-purpose for both high and low altitudes, with a total of 5 guns, and is the main player in today's air defense operations!

Coupled with the relatively complete SC-1 air search radar and SG sea search radar, it can search 120 kilometers in the air and 41 kilometers in the sea. At present, these are the capabilities of the Fletcher class in air defense operations. It can see the enemy in advance, with a speed of up to 37 knots, and can also rush forward to act as a guide for the aircraft carrier fleet's fighters to launch a counterattack!
With complete living facilities, this is basically the top configuration for current destroyers. No wonder Rogue Eagle built 175 ships like dumplings! And all of them were completed in about 3 years. At the peak, 12 ships were built and commissioned every month! The strong industrial foundation of Rogue Eagle can be seen from the construction of this destroyer.
