Bright Sword: Start with Ding Blast Bridge, Homemade Sweet Potato Cake

The trains are still transporting equipment in an endless stream, and all the 91 key industries that received assistance this time were transferred to us together with the equipment and technology.

The blood transfusion was very strong and slightly difficult to receive.

Yes, the industrial foundation is too poor and there are not enough skilled workers to receive all this aid.

It’s really sad to talk about it.

It was necessary to borrow backbone personnel from Manchuria and then train new young workers.

In order to quickly digest the 91 aids, a special supervision group was set up to facilitate this.

Ding Wei recommended Brother Gangzi, who has the ability.

The effectiveness of his work in Manchuria is obvious to all. He is an expert in governance, management and planning.

Ensure the full implementation of industrial assistance.

While the relationship between the two sides is still good and there are a large number of experts on the Russian bear, we should train more of our own people.

Two calls were made to Ding Wei's office.

First, there was an issue regarding military ranks, and he needed to go to Nanjing to discuss it.

Secondly, Lian Lugang had made some progress in repairing the cruiser, and invited Ding Wei to the port for inspection.

Wang Chao worked diligently and completed about 70% of the work on repairing the ship. Except for the main gun which had not yet been put on board, the power system, secondary gun, anti-aircraft gun, fire control radar, sea-to-sea radar, shore-to-shore radar, anti-submarine equipment, etc. had all been repaired.

There is currently a slight disagreement on the main gun.

Since we already have anti-ship missiles, why do we still need main guns? Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to directly convert them into anti-ship missiles?

The space saved can also be used to install a few more Polaris rocket launchers.

It can be used for both air defense and long-range strikes.

The original plan was to repair the existing 152mm naval gun, but Wang Chao wanted to change the plan to use anti-ship missiles, which caused a lot of disagreement.

In particular, several experts from the Russian Federation strongly recommend against the use of anti-ship missiles.

It is said that the vertical launch silo will affect the entire structure of the hull, causing the destroyer to be unable to return to its original speed and its ocean-going seaworthiness will also be reduced.

On the contrary, several experts from Sakura supported Wang Chao's behavior. For a cruiser with a displacement of 6000 tons, installing a vertical launch silo would not have much impact.

Its structure and tonnage are there to fully support missile modification.

After being loaded with anti-ship missiles, its anti-sea strike capability is enhanced, while its anti-shore strike capability is weakened.

After all, it has no main gun and lacks artillery capability.

Even the designers of our missile destroyers in Hong Kong strongly support the modification of missiles on cruisers.

A large amount of modification experience will be accumulated, which will be of great significance for the self-developed and self-made missile destroyers.

Ding Wei has to make the final decision on this matter, and he has the final say on the Northern Fleet.

When the work was in full swing, Ding Wei arrived at Lianlv Port on his personal plane. There were seven military airports here, with many Soviet fighter jets parked there.

After being repaired by the crew, it can continue to be used.

Duan Peng followed Ding Wei and strode towards the center of the military base on the Lianlugang side.

Inside the room, a group of people were still arguing.

After the guard said something in Wang Chao's ear, the two men hurried out.

When I walked into Wang Chao's office, Ding Wei had already sat down, reading the report materials.

"I personally support the transformation of anti-ship missiles. Our medium-range anti-ship missiles, the Shipbreaker, have achieved great results. I'm sure the Eagles have experienced this."

Ding Wei smiled slightly. Two rockets forced back the American aircraft carrier fleet and damaged several ships. Such results were truly fruitful.

In the age of missiles, it doesn’t matter whether the main gun has any effect.

The cruiser's main combat objective is at sea, to engage in anti-ship operations and to protect our territorial waters.

Instead of fighting on land, so-called artillery capability is not necessary.

Of course, it would be best to have a main gun, and it would be even better if it has both a main gun and anti-ship missiles.

If he could only choose one, Ding Wei would of course choose the latter.

The era of strong ships and powerful guns has passed. No matter how powerful the main gun is, can it catch up with anti-ship missiles?

Two cannons as the main guns, with a rotating turret, this is how warships were played before World War II. The most crazy one is the warship that the sun never sets, equipped with 5 twin 305mm naval guns. With one shot, a small island disappears.

Battleships are indeed strong ships with powerful guns.

But at the end of World War II, the Eagle Sauce began to launch 3T missiles, which meant that the era of big guns had faded.

The Beagle missiles it is currently equipped with have a range of 75 kilometers.

What is the range of the main gun? If we give it 30 kilometers, it will be just a small black dot when we look at it.

The Eagle Sauce's heavy cruiser was the first to remove its 203mm main gun, equip it with a Beagle missile launcher, and transform it into a missile cruiser.

The ship destroyer in Ding Wei's hands is definitely stronger than the opponent's Beagle. In the research technology of short- and medium-range missiles, Manchuria's level is still top-notch.

The enemy has already withdrawn its giant cannons and deployed anti-ship missiles, so there is no need to retain the 152mm main guns.

Others have withdrawn their 203mm naval guns, why are we hesitating here?

Change them all.

The tonnage of the Yamashiro light cruiser is not as large as that of a heavy cruiser, so you can consider installing a Ship Destroyer missile launcher, and the rest of the space can be equipped with Polaris rockets.

Previously, the rocket's strike range reached 18 kilometers.

After a new round of optimization, there is no problem in exceeding the 20 kilometers range.

With fierce firepower and accurate strikes, it can completely replace the main gun's anti-land artillery capability.

Wang Chao’s reform idea is correct.

"Commander, the strong opposition from the Russian experts has caused me to lose my subjective judgment. I have lost my backbone in this matter."

Ding Wei laughed.

"A cruiser is a treasured item in our Dragon Country. Anyone who wants to modify weapons on it will have to think twice."

"Our technology is not as good as that of foreign countries, but if we work hard to catch up, the gap will eventually narrow."

"It's fine for the Russian experts to just listen, but their own navy doesn't even understand it."

In addition, there is one thing Ding Wei didn’t say.

It is hard to tell whether the other party has bad intentions.

The Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet is small in strength and relies on a few destroyers to show off its power.

Once we launch destroyers with larger tonnage and equipped with more ferocious Ship Destroyer anti-ship missiles, it will inevitably pose a threat to their Pacific Fleet.

These guys have impure ideas. They cannot be reused in the future and their suggestions can only be used as reference.

Just follow the latest plan, ignore the advice of the Russian experts, and make the final decision today.

Ding Wei directly decided on a new repair plan and asked Wang Chao to come up with a reliable plan.

"When you return from Jinling, you will definitely be able to attend the cruiser's launching ceremony."

There is no problem with launching it. Once it is equipped with the Ship Destroyer anti-ship missiles, it can sail on the ocean. It is not wrong to call it a launching ceremony.

As for ocean voyages, we haven't had the ability to fight in the ocean for hundreds of years.

Damn it, I have to take back everything I lost.

As long as the cruiser is launched, it can serve as the flagship and be equipped with several frigates to form the main patrol force.

If we encounter the destroyers of the Russian Bear or the destroyers of Jam, we will have an absolute advantage in attack.

As long as this warship goes to sea, Wang Chao's military rank will be worth upgrading by one level. In the past, he could at most strive for the rank of major general, but now, it won't be a problem for him to strive for the rank of lieutenant general.
