Chapter 612 The World's First Military Port
As a relatively famous coastal city in China, Qingdao was also a colony that the Deyu fought for during World War I. Since the Southwest People's Army defeated Japan, Qingdao, a coastal city, returned to the embrace of the motherland...
After more than ten years of development, the continuous red tiles have been replaced by planned high-rise buildings. Especially in Jiaozhou Bay, a large area of naval economic zone has been built along the bay.
This is a very mysterious naval port. For more than ten years, since Qingdao was liberated, no one has been allowed to approach it. For more than ten years, except for seeing countless heavy trucks coming and going every day, everyone has no idea what is going on here. Even those fishing boats are strictly prohibited from entering Jiaozhou Bay, which has been closed for more than ten years.
However, today, this military port will inevitably be clear and remembered by everyone.
Because tomorrow, all of China's eyes will be gathered here, and many broadcast vehicles from China Central Television were arranged two days ago. Many people in Qingdao have also received news that they can go along the coast to watch the flag-raising ceremony of China's first reading ocean combat formation and the Chinese Pacific Fleet.
Naval Economic Zone, many Qingdao citizens know this place. Citizens who come here often see soldiers wearing naval uniforms, but this is the first time they know clearly that there is a naval base here.
No wonder they were. In fact, they could not see a decent fleet near Jiaozhou Bay, and no one would think of anything. However, these days, a large number of naval ships have been gathered here, with white outfits and majestic figures, which have made many Chinese people linger on the coastline.
Many people even came from other places to see the style of their own national fleet.
Even though they have seen the appearance of the motherland's navy countless times on TV, when they saw the style of warships in reality, everyone was shocked. Because even though they have watched it countless times on TV, only by seeing such a huge thing in person can they truly feel the touch of their hearts and feel the sincere pride.
Today, when all the TV stations and radio broadcasts simultaneously that the Emperor Zhongxing of the Chinese Empire had arrived in Qingdao, the atmosphere in Qingdao was instantly raised to a very high point. Everyone was running around and telling each other, hoping that more people would share their joy.
At the beach, although the ceremony was still one day before, the entire coastline was already overcrowded. Fortunately, there were a large number of police and armed police forces maintaining discipline so that the scene would not be too chaotic.
In Qingdao Naval Economic Zone, there is a very inconspicuous small restaurant. Because many people have gathered on the beach, the business of this restaurant is not very good. There are only two tables of guests inside, and it seems that these two tables of guests are still the same.
A very strange combination, there are three people on one table, but only two on the other table. This kind of dining table that can sit down ten people is enough for five of them to sit together.
Three people in a table, a middle-aged man and two women, looked like a family.
The two big men at the same table looked more like bodyguards. One of the men was holding a black password box tightly in their hands. There was also an iron chain that tied the box to their hands. Even when eating, they used the other hand to eat, as if this box was more important than everything. The two big men were very quiet, without saying a word, and slowly ate. The corners of their eyes were inadvertently, paying attention to the surrounding situation.
On the other hand, there were constant noises of conversation, but the atmosphere seemed a little depressing because the two women in the middle had tears in their eyes.
"Yun'er, come and eat some this. You have lost a lot of weight so eat more recently." Chen Shao, who was wearing an ordinary suit, picked up a small piece of fish with his own chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Chen Yun.
At this time, Chen Shao was obviously wearing makeup. The hair in front of his forehead was draped on the corners of his eyes, and a pair of thick glasses gave people the feeling of an old scholar. As long as he didn't pay much attention to it, he would not be associated with the emperor who was arrogant in the empire. Moreover, there was a fake scar on his face, which made people easily ignore the other person's appearance at first glance.
Xie Yuxin, who was beside her, also dressed up specially, wearing simple clothes without any decorations, and she looked just an ordinary housewife.
If they don't do this, they will be recognized instantly because in the middle of the restaurant lobby, there are photos of them in the huge frame.
"Yeah!" Chen Yun lowered her head and slowly ate the things in the bowl. Her white navy uniform was the most conspicuous of the five people here.
"Yun'er, please stop being a last name! When you said you were going to join the army, your father and I agreed, saying that you were coming to the navy, and your father and I will make arrangements for you immediately. But this time, mom begs you not to worry about you anymore, okay?" Xie Yuxin, who was standing beside him, looked at Chen Yun who was silent, and tears fell while saying, "Before, the enemy air strikes arrived, and mom heard that you were in the naval fleet. Do you know that mom didn't want to eat and eat for the past two days, and had nightmares at night. Promise mom, this time you stay at the naval headquarters and don't go to sea, okay?"
Chen Shao didn't say anything, but just hugged Xie Yuxin gently, picked up a tissue to wipe away the tears from the corners of Xie Yuxin's eyes. At this time, although Chen Shao's face was still calm, his heart was not at all calm. But he didn't say anything because he knew that this was the emotion of parents for their children.
"I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad!" Chen Yun couldn't help but burst into tears, and she stood up and knelt slowly in front of Chen Shao and Xie Yuxin.
"Get up! This is a public place." Looking at Chen Yun's actions, Chen Shao shook his head and said softly.
"I know I am very loyal. As a son of man, it is really unfilial to make you worry about me so much. However, there are nearly ten million soldiers in the empire, no one of them is concerned about relatives and friends. Please forgive my daughter's selfishness." Chen Yun did not get up, but said slowly with tears in her mouth.
"Okay, get up. It's so big, I still cry. It seems that the training of the army is not strict enough." Chen Shao felt very uncomfortable. He had no choice but to show his majesty to break the current sad situation.
"Yes." Chen Yun stood up.
"Continue to eat. Your brother has been in the army in the past. Meng'er and your second aunt have gone to the grassroots level to comfort the wounded soldiers. Since you entered the army, we have finally had the opportunity to sit together for a meal. Don't break the good atmosphere." Chen Shao took a sip of the drink, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said. In fact, he really wanted to order his daughter regardless of everything, but he couldn't do it.
"Husband, why don't you say anything? I..." Xie Yuxin pulled her husband, wanting him to take direct measures, but her words were interrupted by Chen Shao as soon as she said them.
"Yuxin, I can't be selfish. This is Yun'er's own choice. She is no longer a child. She has her own ideas. I don't want to restrict her. I don't want to use coercive means to restrain her. Although I am a father, I am also the leader of the empire." Chen Shao slowly closed his eyes. She didn't dare to look at his wife's expectant gaze, and spoke again:
"Yu Xin, don't worry, if Yun'er is the front-line combat force, then I will go against my will and be selfish once, and I will not allow her request. The war mode has changed, and Yun'er will be fine."
Xie Yuxin still looked worried. When she thought of her daughter following the fleet and fighting against the enemy in the depths of the ocean, she could feel at ease.
"But……"
"Do you believe me?" Chen Shao interrupted Xie Yuxin's words.
"I believe." Looking at Chen Shao's eyes, Xie Yuxin nodded.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let them choose their own way. I promise that there will be no danger this time."
Xie Yuxin just nodded helplessly.
Chen Yun never spoke, and her heart was filled with guilt and guilt for her parents. Her nearly one year of military career has made her understand many truths. When she was in the Air Force, she was shocked by the spirit of those pilots who forgot their lives and died. She became mature and understood a lot, so she made another choice.
But every time she made a choice, she knew that she was adding burden to her parents, but she still couldn't convince herself. Because she was also a member of the army, all her comrades were also sons of humanity, and others could die for the empire, so how could she retreat?
After ending this somewhat depressing family dinner, Chen Shao did not continue to be with Chen Yun. When they sent Chen Yun to the gate of the naval base that had just been opened, Chen Shao ordered the driver to drive away in Xie Yuxin's reluctance gaze.
At the gate of the naval base, looking at the car that was leaving, Chen Yun finally couldn't help crying. She sobbed and saluted the car that was leaving. Then, she wiped away her tears and walked into the naval base without hesitation. boarded a ready-made carrier-based helicopter and flew towards the sea in the distance.
In the car, Xie Yuxin couldn't help it and lay in Chen Shao's arms and cried silently.
Tears appeared in the corners of Chen Shao's eyes, only he knew the longing in his heart.
The car drove in from the gate on the other side of the air force base and went straight to Air Force One. He helped Xie Yuxin walk out of the car, and the two walked up to Air Force One where they put down the stairs.
As the world's most advanced mobile command platform, even if Chen Shao comes to the ground, as long as he is not Hanjing, he will work within Air Force One. Just like this time when he came to Qingdao, he did not choose to work in Qingdao's political and axe organs, but went directly to Air Force One to remotely control the operations of nearly ten million troops.
When Chen Shao resettled Xie Yuxin and took off his disguise and came to the command center of Air Force One, Cai E, Jiang Baili, Chen Shaokuan, Qian Pengfei and others were already waiting here.
Cai E and Jiang Baili, two imperial generals who are now in their 60s, are still very energetic. They were born in the same year and are both the three great men of the army back then, and their relationship has always been very good.
If Chen Shao hadn't just produced penicillin back then, I'm afraid Cai E would have been unable to rescue him. The Minister of the Operations Department of the Chinese Defense Forces would not be Cai E today.
"Why are you all here? Is something wrong?" Chen Shao asked strangely when he saw a few people seemingly waiting for him.
Several people looked at each other, and finally Jiang Baili spoke out to the staff around him: "Everyone is out."
After all the staff in the command center went out and closed the cabin door, Jiang Baili spoke to Chen Shao:
"Your Majesty, do you really agree to the princess' request? Let me ask your Majesty to think twice. Although mythical aircraft carriers are very powerful, war is not a joke. If there is any accident, then..."
When Chen Shao heard Jiang Baili's words, he was relieved. Seeing that his subordinates were above such a formation, he thought something had happened to the front troops. When he heard Jiang Baili's words, Chen Shao sighed in his heart, waved his hand to stop Jiang Baili, and said:
"Baili, Songpo, Shaokuan and Pengfei. You have been following me since the southwest, although the time we joined in the front and back was different. Pengfei was the earliest, followed by Brother Baili and Songpo, and finally Shaokuan. The four of you followed me for the shortest time, and the shortest one has been twenty-two years. You all know my surname very well, so there is no need to say more about this matter."
"But, the princess's identity is so noble, how can she take risks in person? What's more, fighting is a man's business, the princess is a daughter, this..."
Cai E also wanted Chen Shao to change his decision. Although Chen Shao made it very clear and he also understood what Chen Shao meant, he still wanted to fight for it. After all, this matter is not a joke.
"I remember that Brother Songpo and Brother Baili, the sons and grandsons of the family, all joined the army. Similarly, the sons and daughters of Shao Kuan and Pengfei were also in the army. Many of them went to the front line and made a lot of contributions to the empire. These juniors are all good, and your selflessness is also good.
In November last year, Brother Baili's third son was attacked by a grenade and is still recovering from injuries in the hospital. He will live in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Brother Songpo, Cai Yongren is your eldest son, but now he is lying in a martyr's cemetery. Shaokuan, last year's attack fleet incident, in which a sunken cruiser was in a cruiser, I know your daughter is also on it. Qian Pengfei...
Not only you, but also senior defense forces generals such as Chen Fuqin. The white silk at home has not yet retreated. Even Wei Ren and Zhongli's sons are currently fighting bloody battles with the enemy on the front line of the Northeast War Zone.
Today I am talking about these things, not to expose your wounds, but to ask you, do you regret sending your children to the battlefield?"
"No regrets." Several people replied at the same time. Although they experienced the greatest sorrow of life, they never regretted it for a moment.
"I, Chen Shao, have always felt very pleased to have subordinates like you, and I am proud of having you in the empire. I am proud of you." Chen Shao walked over and hugged everyone in turn. At this moment, he is no longer the emperor of the empire, and like them, he is a father.
"Since you can be so selfless, how can you make me selfish?" This is Chen Shao's answer to them, and it is also a response to his concerns.
"But the status is different, the princess of the dignified empire,..."
Chen Shaokuan is the most stressed among them, because Chen Yun is a member of the current navy, and she is also among the reorganized fleet this time. She wants Chen Shao to change his mind the most. However, before he finished speaking, he was taken over by Chen Shao.
"The princess is also a human being. Like your children and all the people in the world, they are human beings. If you live in a high temple, you will worry about the people. This is our responsibility, not to say that we are nobler than the people. This will never change."
Now it is not a feudal period, not to mention that Chen Shao has always pursued an equality. Even if the existence of the class is the natural surname for human development, he still hopes that the class level can be infinitely weakened.
"I understand." Hearing Chen Shao's serious words, the four of them looked at each other and stopped saying anything.
"Let's not talk about these unpleasant topics, but talk about the fleet's preparations." Chen Shao said.
"Yes." This is Chen Shaokuan's incident. When he heard Chen Shao's question, he immediately replied: "After several days of preparation, the aircraft carrier battle group drawn from the North Sea Fleet and the East Sea Fleet has arrived in Qingdao. The combined aircraft carrier formation composed of the Hanwu Dadi nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the ZTE nuclear-powered aircraft carrier also converged with the Royal Pacific Fleet in the established waters and is currently coming to Qingdao military port. When the Pacific Fleet's official flag-raising ceremony begins tomorrow, it will be able to arrive at the military port on time."
"How is the preparations for the military port going?" Chen Shao said.
"According to Your Majesty's instructions, when it was determined to establish a large comprehensive military port in Qingdao at the beginning of the founding of the country, the construction of Qingdao military port had already begun. In addition to the two years of survey, design and preparation, the empire took fourteen years to build this military port, utilizing more than one million manpower and more than 50,000 engineering equipment, and cost more than 50 billion yuan. Finally, it was completed last year. Today, Qingdao military port has become the largest naval military port in the empire. And according to the standards built by Your Majesty, this is also the first military port in the world that can dock more than 500 warships at the same time, among which the largest ten docks can also dock 100,000-ton aircraft carriers."
In order to build this military port, Chen Shao sent a large number of engineers every year. These engineers came from the biochemical nest of the Red Alert Base and were assigned to every basic construction unit. They are not only monitoring the quality of construction, but also the main force in design and construction work.
Chen Shaokuan dares to be the world's first military port, so he naturally has his own reasons, because there is no military port in the world that has such a scale and ability.
Qingdao Military Port Terminal adopts a dike-type structure with high technical content and high construction difficulty, which can effectively utilize the water area and improve the dock's ship berthing ability. The military port can dock multiple large warships at the same time. The aircraft carrier military port breakwater is also the longest in the world and can withstand a once-in-a-century typhoon.
Another very important point is that the military ports of aircraft carriers are completely different from ordinary military ports, especially the military ports where nuclear-powered aircraft carriers dock, which are completely different from conventional-powered military ports. The military port of aircraft carriers should usually have four major functions, namely a huge ship berthing space, a sound logistics support system, good maintenance capabilities, and convenient living support facilities. If it is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, the military port must also have facilities for infusing nuclear fuel and a nuclear waste treatment plant.
First of all, you must have space to berth one or even multiple aircraft carrier formations. Most aircraft carrier military port docks are built into dike-type docks that can be inserted into the depths of the waters, so as to arrange as many types of military ships as possible.
It is necessary to have a sound logistics support system. The aircraft carrier military port can provide support and services to multiple ship types, boat types, aircraft types and a large number of crew members.
It is necessary to have good maintenance capabilities. The aircraft carrier is in maintenance status for one-third of the time every year, so the aircraft carrier military port must have complete sets of repair facilities to complete crew-level maintenance and minor repairs of carrier-based aircraft and motherships.
It is necessary to have convenient living facilities. When the aircraft carrier formation is resting in the home port, officers and soldiers need convenient living security facilities. The living consumption expenditure of officers and soldiers will drive the local consumption level and form a unique aircraft carrier economy.
The most difficult one is nuclear fuel treatment. In the rare mountains near Qingdao, a nuclear waste storage point was specially built for the nuclear waste generated by nuclear powered ships.
The Naval Economic Zone serves the huge naval officers and soldiers of the fleet, and has all kinds of goods in it. Although this business opportunity has not been fully reflected at present, once the aircraft carrier starts to take off, the economy here will increase rapidly and become a new economic driving force for the region.
Moreover, here, Chen Shao also specially built several shipyards, which were built for ship maintenance and construction and would not have production tasks. There are also three maintenance factories and four large air force bases.
All this is for the service of nuclear-powered ships.
It took fourteen years to build such a military port, but it was not long. Because this was the first time to build such a huge military port, many things were explored for the first time. I don’t know how many experiments and improvements have been made in cement alone before it can truly come in handy. (To be continued.
