Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 734 Civilization and People
Spring in the Mediterranean Sea is romantic and warm, and Ming Dynasty has entered the era of naval holidays.If the army still needs to participate in post-war reconstruction and maintain order, the navy really has nothing to do.

Ding Quan looked at the list in his hand and felt that his hair was falling down.

"Hey, don't we think that almost 400 frigates will become coast guard ships now?"

Galdan is sitting in the office where the sun shines in. On the table is a glass of sparkling water with an olive embedded in it.

"Anyway, the frigates have been laid off and there is room to go. The battleships among the capital ships, except for the Shanghai-class and follow-up ships, will be uniformly retired this time."

Ding Quan had no choice but to say, "This is really about letting the horse go to Nanshan."

However, they also knew that the battleship had already come to the end of the naval process. Even if the Shanghai-class battleship survived, it would actually exist in a new form, not the steel giant ship that was originally bombarded by cannons.

"The retreated battleships will be directly sealed up, and some maintenance will be carried out on a regular basis. The aircraft carrier will keep 12 ships, and the rest will be sealed up." Galdan said.

Ding Quan commented: "It is really not bad for money. These ships have not been built for a few years, and they have not been used much. Now they are directly sealed up."

Anyway, there is still a new construction plan for aircraft carriers. Daming plans to build four 8-ton conventionally powered aircraft carriers, and then build a 10-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier for verification. After the technology matures, four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be built.This is the Navy's largest equipment update plan at present, and it is worth burning incense to have this plan.After all, aircraft carriers are purely offensive weapons, and now Daming has no enemies.

Now Ming Dynasty maintains 10 Essex-class aircraft carriers and 2 Forrest-class aircraft carriers. When all four nuclear-powered aircraft carriers come out in the future, the Essex-class aircraft carriers will also disappear.

The Ming Dynasty's heavy cruisers, battlecruisers, etc. are all on the list of being mothballed. The navy now has 43 light cruisers, which are very new. All of them have taken into account future modification issues under Bai Mingxiu's intervention.Therefore, these 43 light cruisers will be retained, and after being missileized and avionics modified, they will be used as the core ships of the Ming Navy's mission fleet.

Galdan held the plan and studied it, and he also expressed emotion: "Commander Wang Kai is also a man of genius. As soon as the war is over, he can formulate a large-scale plan for upgrading weapons of this scale. Although it is a 25-year long-term plan, I want to After thinking about it, I know that the Legislative Yuan and the Taiping Palace must have toothaches."

In Wang Kai's navy replacement plan, the navy retained more than 100 Jinan-class frigates and modernized them to adapt to the needs of the new era and become more versatile mission ships.The Ming Dynasty Navy will build 60 guided missile destroyers with a tonnage of about 6000 tons. Their combat effectiveness is a level higher than that of frigates with a tonnage of only more than 2000 tons, and even better than a modified light cruiser of more than 1 tons.

It's just that the state during the World War II cannot go back. Only 6 new guided missile destroyers are built every year, and it will take 10 years for the Navy to build all these warships.

Due to the lack of enemies, the importance of submarines is also reduced a lot.However, as the needs of exploration technology, nuclear submarines and scientific research submarines were started to be used.

The amphibious fleet is also developing well, and there are corresponding plans for 2-ton dock landing ships, 4-ton amphibious assault ships, and air-cushion landing craft.Considering the multi-mission nature, amphibious ships are still very useful in ensuring sea area stability and humanitarian rescue.

Ding Quan jokingly said: "We, after all, won't be unemployed."

The reason for saying this is because the army is in mourning.During the World War, the Ming Dynasty created more than 300 group armies, including the vassal army, and a ground force of more than 200 million people.The war was over, and Ming decided to maintain only [-] million ground troops.One-third of the group army will be abolished as a whole, so it has also appeared that just as a senior officer last year, leading tens of thousands of troops, this year he will retire and return to his hometown to start economic construction.

Because he ruled the whole world, the Ming army will station troops all over the world.The military will use its jurisdiction as a large military area, set up a headquarters, and station troops in different propaganda divisions, propaganda divisions, and overseas provinces according to actual conditions.The current system of regular army, vassal army and garrison regiment will continue.

Ding Quan said to Galdan again: "I heard that the General Staff and several units have begun to collect various documents and materials of our battle and compile the history of the war. You led the Atlantic Fleet to fight the largest battle in the history of the Ming Navy. This is a sea battle, and it is also the pinnacle battle of battleships. The navy is also preparing to build the Ming Dynasty Naval Museum in Lushun, Zhoushan, Manila, Amsterdam and other places. At that time, there will be a naval battle in the Denmark Strait. Think about it. Your avatar will be hung In the museum, it is really an interesting situation to introduce the situation at that time to later people.”

Ding Quan couldn't help but tease him: "The Mongolian navy admiral is also a legend."

Galdan said coldly: "My existence just proves that no matter what kind of background a person has, no matter what kind of experience he has, he can choose a path that suits him and keep improving."

"Hey, you should write an article and publish it in our military journal. Maybe some editor-in-chief who compiles textbooks will see it and compile it into our Daming Chinese textbooks for you."

Galdan didn't accept such a joke. Sometimes he felt very confused about his life experiences.From a certain part of his heart, he also hated the Ming Dynasty, and hated the country that ended his tribal era and kept him away from the grasslands, blue skies, horse racing, and camps. From then on, his life became the salty sea breeze and the endless landscape. The ocean, the steel battleships and the hoarse military songs of the sailors.

He is a proud Mongolian. He dreamed of galloping on the battlefield like Genghis Khan since he was a child, but he never imagined that one day he would actually control a huge battleship of tens of thousands of tons and fight the enemy in a place where Genghis Khan had never arrived.

Excluding the memories that have become confused, Galdan has already recognized his identity as a Ming person and a Ming soldier, and he is full of honor for his identity.What a civilized country bestows on its members is not only the sense of connection maintained by racial blood, but also the unity of the same narrative, cultural spirit and ideas. Chinese civilization is not exclusive, but inclusive, allowing countless people to accept her Those who embrace her are looking for their own dreams and opportunities for self-realization in this country.
