Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

The huge ship made Xu Le open his mouth wide.

Even though he has lived in the 21st century for more than 20 years and is used to seeing all kinds of military equipment on the Internet, that was all through the screen.

This is the first time I have seen the warship face to face like this.

Even the appearance of the J-5 and H-6 did not shock him as much as it does now.

In a sense, sea control is more important than air control.

With control of the sea, we can intercept the enemy outside the country and keep the enemy thousands of miles away.

Therefore, for any coastal country, the development of the navy is of paramount importance.

This is also the reason why, although Japan’s navy cannot defeat its army, it has more abundant resources. Naval construction is too important.

The Tang Dynasty had long lost its control of the sea, and all coastal areas were blockaded by the Japanese.

Now, with the appearance of two Type 01 frigates, Xu Le believes that the Tang Dynasty will soon regain its territorial waters and completely defeat the Japanese navy.

"Next is the destroyers. Let's see what they are and what their prices are!"

A complete naval fleet must consist of more than just frigates. Xu Le turned his attention to the system destroyer page.

However, Xu Le was disappointed at the first sight.

Because the first destroyers equipped by New China were purchased from the Soviet Union, Type 07 destroyers, not imitated ones.

Xu Le took a look with the idea of ​​giving it a try, and sure enough, the system did not count the Type 07 destroyer as domestically produced.

The first row of destroyers is the first type of destroyer designed and built by New China and put into service in 71: the Type 051 destroyer.

The price is 350 million military merit points.

This is a guided missile destroyer, equipped with two triple-mounted HY-2 anti-ship missiles and an HHQ-7 eight-mounted missile launcher for air defense missiles.

This is the cheapest destroyer in the system, followed by improved versions of the Type 052 and Type 051.

After that came the improved version of Type 052 and Type 055.

This amounts to three stages, each one being much more expensive than the previous one.

"There is no choice but to go with the Type 051. The cost-effectiveness of subsequent models is too low, so we can't even consider it! We have to buy two at least!"

A moment later, after consuming 700 million military merit points, two large warships appeared at two berths, which were almost half the size of the Type 01 frigate.

The Type 051 destroyer is 132 meters in length, 13 meters in width, has a draft of 4.6 meters, a standard displacement of 3250 tons and a full load displacement of 3670 tons.

The power system is two 453-type steam turbines and four 4-type boilers with a total power of 454 horsepower and a maximum speed of 36 knots. When sailing at a cruising speed of 18 knots, the maximum range reaches 3000 nautical miles. At a speed of 14 knots, the maximum range can reach 3600 nautical miles.

The ship's borne weapons are two Type 76 twin-mounted 130mm naval guns with a firing rate of 30 rounds per minute and a maximum range of 30 kilometers.

4座67式双联装37毫米半自动舰炮，射高达到8500米，每分钟射速180发。

2座61式双联装25毫米舰炮，射高3千米，每分钟射速270发。

2 triple-mounted HY-2 anti-ship missiles with a range of 95 kilometers.

1 eight-mounted HHQ-7 ship-to-air missile with a range of 13 kilometers.

In addition, it also has two triple 2 mm torpedo tubes with a maximum range of 324 kilometers.

2 anti-submarine rocket depth charge launchers, 2 depth charge launchers.

[The 051 model cannot carry anti-submarine helicopters. In 87, one ship was improved to carry two helicopters, only for experiments.]

"Although we can't use missiles for fun, we can use them as a trump card to turn the tide of the war at a critical moment! We have to tell Bai Shiyi that he has to use these things sparingly. Each missile costs hundreds of thousands. If we give them to the army, we can buy tens of millions of artillery shells."

There is only one berth left. It is impossible to park an aircraft carrier because we don't have that much money. Besides, the lowest water level here is only 5 meters, which is just enough to park a destroyer. Parking an aircraft carrier would be a death wish.

"Should we build a supply ship or a landing ship for the remaining space?"

"The navy's primary mission is to ensure coastal safety. There will be no ocean-going operations in the short term, so the supply ships can wait until later, along with the aircraft carriers."

"Landing ships are mainly equipped for the Marine Corps. They are necessary for carrying out landing operations. The first target of attack in the future will be Japan, so it is better to get the landing ships as soon as possible so that the Marine Corps can train for landing operations earlier."

Thinking of this, Xu Le set his sights on the landing ship.

Considering the distance between Tang Dynasty and Japan, there is no need for supply ships even for a round trip.

Type 363A landing craft: 3 military merit points.

Type 066 landing craft: 5 military merit points.

Type 067 landing craft: 8 military merit points.

Type 068 landing craft: 8 military merit points.

Type 069 landing craft: 9 military merit points.

Type 271 landing craft: 15 military merit points.

Type 073 landing ship: 20 military merit points.

Type 079 landing ship: 30 military merit points.

Type 072 landing ship: 50 military merit points.

.....

A boat with a displacement of less than 500 tons is called a boat, and one with a displacement of more than 500 tons is called a ship.

The training difficulty of landing craft is very low. They are used to temporarily transport soldiers to the beach and there is no need to fight on them.

Landing ships require a certain amount of training, although the training is also simple.

Due to limited berths, Xu Le finally chose a Type 073 landing ship and 10 Type 066 landing craft that did not require berths.

The Type 073 landing ship is a medium-sized landing ship that entered service in New China in the 70s. It has a displacement of 850 tons, a maximum speed of 15 knots, and a cruising range of 1200 nautical miles.

能够运载3辆59式或69式主战坦克，或者6辆62式轻型坦克、6门中口径陆炮，或者运输7辆轻型卡车。

In terms of personnel transportation, it can carry a fully armed reinforced infantry company of nearly 200 people without crowding.

If the status of the troops is not taken into consideration, a maximum of one battalion of infantry can be transported.

其自卫武器为2门61式双联装37毫米舰炮和2门61式双联装25毫米舰炮。

As for the Type 066 landing craft, its full load displacement is 70 tons and its maximum load capacity is 16 tons. It can transport an infantry company of soldiers to land on the beach, but it cannot carry heavy weapons.

After all the ships were deployed, the entire river surface of the base was crowded with ships, looking like a navy.

Fortunately, the system automatically tied the cable after it was deployed, otherwise the river water would have washed away the warship in a short while.

Looking at these warships, Xu Le sighed: "Two years, it took two full years. Even for someone as skilled as me, it took me two years to get a rudimentary navy and army. You can imagine how much effort China spent in the past to become one of the top three in the world!"
