Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

"Let the Haidao small flatbed lead the team on a round-the-world voyage?" Staff Officer Ye was a little confused when he heard Ren Zhong's idea. "We don't need to, right? Big black fish are running all over the world now, and it doesn't seem to make much sense for this small flatbed to go out."

If it is a display of muscle, the fleet of the elusive black fish is getting bigger and bigger, and the chances of appearing in the four oceans are increasing. So far, no country's submarines can keep up with the big black fish of the East.

According to the principle of limited display, Staff Officer Ye agreed with the top management that this scale was sufficient.

"That's different. This time I suggest that the Dongting Lake-class small flat-bed ship be sent out with the Luhai-class destroyers, Luyang-class destroyers and supply ships. After all, on the sea, everyone can see it more clearly. More importantly, we should spread the word and make the small flat-bed ship and Luhai-class destroyers the key sales targets to see if we can sell a few." Ren Zhong said with a smile, "Although our shipbuilding industry has a good reputation now, we can't just rely on the big black fish for warships. That is not for sale, but I think the small flat-bed ship and Luhai-class destroyer can be put on the market."

“And we can also see this round-the-world voyage as a quasi-actual combat for the navy.”

Ten thousand advertisements are not as good as one actual combat. Although the navy of Tokyo University basically has no actual combat opportunities now, the feeling of winning is not worth it, and those who cannot win dare not go up.

Sailing around the world requires going through different seas and different weather conditions, which is also a test for the fleet.

Of course, the most important thing is that Ren Zhong discovered that in the world of Bright Sword, not many people in the world know about the development of Dongda. For ordinary people, there is nothing easier to understand the strength of a country than seeing a large-scale fleet.

There are not many countries that can now afford a Dongting Lake-class amphibious assault ship and two destroyers. To be precise, this is a truly prestigious trip planned by Ren Zhong.

Of course, in addition to showing off his reputation abroad, Ren Zhong also plans to take this opportunity to sell some of Dongda’s naval equipment.

Now, after so many years of development, the navy's destroyer equipment has gone through three generations, and amphibious assault ships have also come out. The navy's equipment is not like the army's, which needs to be piled up by quantity. Selling a few ships can make the research and development costs of the Naval Equipment Research Center pay back. From the perspective of making money, this is a very profitable opportunity, second only to fighter jets.

If this mixed fleet led by the small flat panel successfully completes the global voyage, it will be an extremely successful publicity for some potential customers.

"But it's good to go out for a trip. Except for the Big Black Fish, the rest of our navy's fleet has rarely left Asia. It would be good to go out and see the world." Staff Officer Ye couldn't figure out what Ren Zhong was up to, but it was generally not a bad thing. It didn't matter if he couldn't figure it out. He just had to cooperate with Ren Zhong.

Anyway, for the Navy of the University of Tokyo, it would not be a problem to dispatch four ships to form a group and go out for a trip. Besides, this kind of high-intensity sailing can indeed train the team.

After the plan was finalized, Staff Officer Ye quickly organized himself and contacted the ports of more than a dozen visiting countries through diplomatic channels, allowing local people to board the ship for a visit in an orderly manner after arriving at the local area.

The most important country at present is the agreement reached with John Bull and Gaul for a visit.

The relationship between the two sides is currently good, and this visit is a good opportunity to further strengthen cooperation between the two sides.

After all, among the five permanent members, the chicken, rabbit and ox are still the weak ones. If everyone sticks together and can reach consensus on some things, in some cases, the simple effect of three weak against one strong can be achieved.

A week later, the fleet set sail.

The first to set off was the Haidao amphibious assault ship, which was equipped with 12 Z-5 ship-borne helicopters, 36 Cheetah all-terrain vehicles and 4 Dragon II tanks.

Behind it are the Jinling-class destroyer, the Yuzhang-class destroyer and the Hengshan-class supply ship.

There is nothing special about all this, but on the Haidao, there is a big man who makes all the captains give way to him, Li Yunlong and his First Battalion of the Rapid Reaction Force!
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Li Yunlong. Now there are Marine Corps, but the number of Marine Corps has not been expanded on a large scale. The island-building plan in the South China Sea has almost consumed the brigade-level Marine Corps. After Li Yunlong heard the news, he ran to the headquarters and persuaded them to give the rapid reaction force a chance to carry out global missions.

You know what, Li Yunlong is really good at this kind of thing, and he actually made it happen. The superiors ordered the rapid reaction force to select a battalion to participate in this operation.

Li Yunlong also joined the team because of this incident.

It is not a tense wartime state now, and the superiors turned a blind eye to Li Yunlong's behavior of abusing his power for personal gain. After reporting it, the fleet set off with the first battalion of the rapid reaction force.

For Li Yunlong, this was not the first time he had taken a ship. When he led his troops to conquer Japan, he took the Rogue Eagle's transport ship.

"Old Wang, you have to admit that this small flatbed of yours is much better than the original Rogue Eagle transport ship. Not only is it more stable, but the cabin arrangement is also much more modern and high-end," Li Yunlong ran to the fleet's command room and started chatting with Wang Peng, the captain of the Island and the leader of the fleet detachment.

"That's right. This is the newest amphibious assault ship in the world," Wang Peng said proudly. "Our Naval Equipment Research Institute has conducted in-depth research on the comfort of the navy's long-term life at sea. Now the conditions are almost the same as those of an apartment. Compared with the hammocks on the previous destroyers, the living area of ​​our new ships is completely designed with reference to hotel-style apartments, with independent kitchens, independent restaurants and even gyms. Since there is plenty of electricity to desalinate seawater, our showers are also available in every cabin."

"The current conditions of the Haidao can fully support our needs for long-term operations at sea. As long as there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, we can keep fighting. The nuclear power of the Haidao has also greatly reduced the pressure on our logistics supply, and we can leave more space for weapons, ammunition and fuel for combat."

"I see." Li Yunlong nodded repeatedly. "Our ship is the best ship I have ever been on. You are lucky to have a good time. I heard that a larger aircraft carrier is already being designed. Lao Wang, you lead the team this time. After you gain some experience in sailing large ships, you will be able to drive the large aircraft carriers later. Unfortunately, as the army, we have a high probability of not being able to drive an aircraft carrier. But after you drive it, Lao Wang, you have to leave a cabin for me so that I can also enjoy the fun." As a member of the group that got on board, Li Yunlong knew that he would not have many opportunities to ride on such a large ship in the future.

However, this old guy is well-informed. He takes advantage of the opportunity to get close to Wang Peng now. If Wang Peng really commands an aircraft carrier in the future, it will be no problem for him to get involved.

"Hehe, Commander, I'll take your good words." As a senior member of the fleet, Wang Peng certainly has sources of information. In fact, the purpose of building small flat-panel computers is, on the one hand, the need for the navy's global operations, and on the other hand, it is also to explore experience for large flat-panel computers. This is no secret to the navy.

As the commander of the first amphibious assault ship, Wang Peng is naturally one of the reserve talents for the large flat-bed commander of the aircraft carrier who is being trained.

All their experience today may be applied to large tablets in the future.

"Old Wang, your ship may look a bit different from an aircraft carrier now, but maybe in two years, there won't be much difference." Li Yunlong looked at Wang Peng, who was a little happy, and said to him with a whetted look. "What can make my small flatbed the same as an aircraft carrier?" Wang Peng was indeed attracted.

"I think there is little difference between them and aircraft carriers in other aspects, but in terms of carrier-based aircraft, a small flat-bed aircraft carrier with only helicopters cannot be compared with a carrier-based fighter aircraft carrier with fixed-wing aircraft."

"That's not necessarily true." Li Yunlong said with a smile, and glanced at Wang Peng. Some thoughts flashed through his mind. Thinking that Wang Peng had some qualifications to know about this matter, he waved his hand, called Wang Peng in front of him and lowered his voice and said, "This news of mine cannot be spread to anyone else now that it has reached you. Anyway, you should know it soon, so I will reveal a little bit to you in advance."

"We have already invested in the research of fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing fighter jets. It is said that vertical take-off and landing fighter jets will be available soon. Just think about it, this kind of fighter jet is developed for small flat-bed aircraft like you!"

"Ah?" It was the first time that Wang Peng heard about such a fighter jet and he couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice.

"Now our fighter jets have developed vertical take-off and landing technology?"

Wang Peng said with some disbelief.

"Of course, this is absolutely true. You will be in command of a quasi-aircraft carrier sooner than you think." Li Yunlong said with a proud smile, "Brother suggests that you think about it in advance. If a vertical take-off and landing fighter is on board, how can you use it to maximize its effect? ​​These issues have never been faced before, and our navy will have to face them in the future, both large and small flat-panel aircraft carriers."

Li Yunlong's words made Wang Peng fall into deep thought.

Wang Peng was certainly aware of Li Yunlong's source of information. He was one of the most powerful generals in the army and had access to many confidential matters. Moreover, Li Yunlong was a close friend of the dean of the prestigious school, and the information he had access to was unimaginable to outsiders.

Since Li Yunlong said this, then this story cannot be false.

If there really were fighter jets that could take off and land vertically, Wang Peng's mind would be filled with imagination as if a new world had opened up. Even if there were only a few fixed-wing fighter jets, the situation would be completely different. A fight between helicopters and fighter jets would be almost one-sided in this world. With fighter jets, they could truly fight for air supremacy.

If the vertical take-off and landing fighter had the performance of the J5A fighter, Wang Peng would dare to lead a task force to fight more than % of the countries in the world!

Apart from the five major rogue nations, it is highly likely that other countries will not be banned from attacking their air forces and navies.

"If we have fighter jets, even if there are only 6, our combat effectiveness will be transformed and we will have the ability to control the air locally. If I have two more destroyers with powerful firepower, the strength of our task force will be considerable." Wang Peng said in surprise after he came to his senses.

"We have strong air force support even in places thousands of miles away that lack logistical support. With the help of helicopters, we can form a three-dimensional firepower model, which is very useful for beach landing in small-scale conflicts."

Before Wang Peng received the Haidao, he was already training as a reserve cadre for the navy's large ship commanders. As soon as the Dongting Lake-class amphibious assault ship came out, Wang Peng was the first one to take over. After a long period of delivery and polishing, Wang Peng finally got a thorough understanding of the Dongting Lake-class, which is one generation more advanced than this era as a whole.

Now Li Yunlong actually said that the small flat-bed fighter can also take off and land vertically, which made Wang Peng a little overwhelmed.

Of course, this is only now. When Wang Peng recovers, he will definitely not miss the new fighter jet on the small tablet.

Yandu.

Ren Zhong was somewhat amused and confused by Li Yunlong's behavior.

This old friend still refused to calm down and was full of interest in all adventurous things. It was during this round-the-world voyage that Ren Zhong learned that Li Yunlong had also joined in.

"Brother Ren, Li Yunlong has monopolized all the benefits. Next time when something good like this happens, how about you think of me, Old Kong?" When Kong Jie heard that Li Yunlong had gotten the task again, his eyes almost popped out with envy.

However, as for the construction of a rapid reaction force, it is already very good that Li Yunlong can build a brigade at this stage.

If Kong Jie wanted to do it again, there would be no approval from his superiors.

"Lao Kong, you just need to figure out the matter of the combined battalion. For Dongda, if the synthesis of the troops is figured out, the combat effectiveness will more than rise to a higher level. There are still many problems in the current troop coordination. On the one hand, the communication equipment is not yet popular enough. You should pay attention to this, Lao Kong. It is said that the Communication Research Center has developed a new generation of communicators. With this new type of communicator, it will soon be integrated into the helmet, allowing people to talk conveniently while wearing the helmet." Seeing Lao Kong's expression, Ren Zhong had to give him a little sweet treat.

This is the latest generation of communication helmets, and the production volume is quite good now. According to Ren Zhong’s original idea, the special forces and rapid reaction forces were to be equipped with them first.

But now that Kong Jie came to him, Ren Zhong took it out to appease Kong.

"What? There is such a thing? I'll go and take a look later," Kong Jie became a little restless when he heard it.

He is a veteran of battles, so of course he knows that by achieving communication connectivity for everyone in the front-line troops, the combat effectiveness will be more than doubled. With good coordination between them, and with the powerful weapons and equipment of the current combined forces battalion, the combat effectiveness will be directly maximized!
According to the current armed equipment of the combined forces battalion, the firepower has reached a peak. If the firepower can be dispatched in a timely manner on this basis, the power of the attack will be so great that no one dares to easily estimate it.

With this thing hanging around, Kong Jie, who was itching to get some, could no longer sit still with Ren Zhong. He said goodbye to Ren Zhong and went straight to the Communications Research Center to find the new communications helmet!
