Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

ten minutes later.

In the conference room, Fang Yu stood up, his voice steady and powerful.

"Reporting to Mr. Lu, in order to ensure that this operation is foolproof, I have two plans that can be carried out simultaneously."

"Two options?" The eyes of the generals present lit up.

"Good boy!" Sailor Commander Jiang Chaoyang said with a smile, "I know our Chief Engineer Xiao Fang won't let us down."

"But I didn't expect that he could come up with two solutions to such a difficult problem."

Air Force Commander Liu Yadong also nodded in agreement: "No wonder General Lu said he is unparalleled in the country. Such talent is truly rare."

Mr. Lu also showed an interested look: "Tell me about it."

Fang Yu walked to the map hanging on the wall and pointed at the strait.

“The first option is to build roll-on/roll-off ships.”

"Roll-on/roll-off ship?" Many generals looked puzzled.

Fang Yu picked up the chalk and quickly drew a sketch on the blackboard.

"This is a brand new type of transport ship."

"Its characteristic is that there are landing ramps at one or both ends of the hull, allowing vehicles to drive directly on and off, just like rolling carriages on and off a train, so it is called a roll-on/roll-off ship."

His chalk moved quickly across the blackboard, soon outlining a cross-section of a ship.

“The loading and unloading efficiency of this type of ship is extremely high.”

"Traditional cargo ships require cranes to load and unload piece by piece, but ro-ro ships can allow armored vehicles and tanks to drive directly onto them."

"A 5,000-ton roll-on/roll-off ship can load and unload an armored regiment in less than an hour."

"This..." The deputy commander of the navy stood up and carefully examined the drawings on the blackboard. "It's indeed a good idea. But how difficult is it to build?"

Fang Yu continued to explain: "Building a ro-ro ship is actually not difficult. The key is to design the loading and unloading ramps and vehicle securing devices well."

"We can completely convert some cargo ships at existing shipyards and have the first batch of capacity in place within three months."

"Three months?" The Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission's eyes lit up. "So fast?"

"That's right." Fang Yu marked the data on the blueprint. "And another advantage of ro-ro ships is that they can be used to transport civilian vehicles."

"This will not only conceal our true intentions, but also create benefits for the country."

Mr. Lu nodded. "That's a good idea. I wonder what the second option is?"

"The second option," Fang Yu's voice carried a special power, "is to build large transport aircraft and conduct airborne operations."

There was an uproar in the conference room.

"Transport plane?" The Air Force Commander stood up suddenly, "You mean..."

Fang Yu walked to another blackboard and started drawing.

"That's right! We now have advanced aviation technology. We can definitely build a new type of large transport aircraft that can transport a reinforced battalion of troops at a time."

His chalk moved quickly across the blackboard.

"This transport aircraft uses four turboprop engines, can carry up to 60 tons, and has a range of over 3,000 kilometers."

“Most importantly, it can take off and land on a simple airstrip!”

"Sixty tons?" The Air Force Deputy Commander gasped. "Such a large transport capacity?"

"That's right." Fang Yu marked the data on the blueprint. "And we already mastered the key technologies for this transport aircraft when we were developing the Backfire bomber."

“The first batch of production will be completed in four months at most.”

He turned to General Lu and said, "More importantly, with this transport aircraft, we can carry out airborne operations."

Fang Yu pointed at the map of Frog Island.

"According to intelligence, the Baldy's command center and major airports are concentrated in these locations."

"As long as we can airdrop special forces in the shortest possible time and directly destroy these vital points, we can achieve the effect of 'capturing the leader first.'"

The Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission nodded.

"Indeed, if their chain of command could be cut off, the remaining troops would be left in a state of disarray."

"Moreover," Fang Yu added, "we now have complete control of the air."

"With the escort of Costin fighter jets, the safety of these transport planes is fully guaranteed."

Mr. Lu's eyes lit up: "Walking on two legs, exerting force on the sea and in the air at the same time. This is a good idea!"

"But time..." someone asked.

Fang Yu was confident: "Ro-ro ships and transport aircraft can be developed at the same time."

"As long as the superior gives the order, we can start work immediately!"

His eyes swept over every general present.

"I can guarantee that within four months, both types of equipment will be operational."

"Then we can give Baldy a surprise he could never imagine!"

"Wait." A silver-haired warmaster stood up, his voice steady and powerful.

"Chief Engineer Fang's roll-on/roll-off ship proposal is indeed sound, but the idea of ​​airborne operations requires careful consideration."

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn.

"General, what do you think?" asked Mr. Lu.

The Warmaster walked over to the map and said with a frown.

"Do you remember the Allied 'Operation City Garden' during World War II?"

"That operation also involved airborne troops raiding Hans's headquarters. What was the result?"

He pointed to Frog Island on the map.

"Back then, the Allies deployed three airborne divisions in Arnhem. They had air superiority and support from ground forces, but what happened in the end? Not only did they suffer heavy casualties, but they also failed to achieve their basic objectives."

A murmur of discussion broke out in the conference room.

"Furthermore," the Warmaster continued, "the Allies faced a weary Hans army."

"Although the bald troops are not very strong now, they have been operating on the island for many years, and their air defense system and early warning network are very complete. If we do this, won't we be repeating the same mistakes?"

Fang Yu stood in front of the blackboard with a piece of chalk in his hand.

He knew what the old coach said made sense.

The failure of Operation City Garden did cast a shadow over airborne operations.

"Besides," the Warmaster turned to Fang Yu, "no matter how good the transport plane you designed is, it can't withstand the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery."

"If anything goes wrong, the airborne troops will be feeding the enemy."

The Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission nodded. "The old commander is right. Airborne operations are too risky."

"If it fails, it will not only cause heavy casualties, but also affect the entire landing plan."

"Besides," the Navy Commander also spoke up, "even though the bald guy is vulnerable, he has a lot of veterans under his command. If we really engage in street fighting, the casualties will definitely be heavy."

Mr. Lu looked at Fang Yu: "Xiao Fang, what do you think?"

Fang Yu stood there, feeling everyone's gaze.

He knew that these generals' concerns were not unfounded.

Airborne operations are indeed very risky and any carelessness can result in heavy casualties.

But he knew better that if he could not control the bald man's command system in the shortest possible time, giving the enemy time to organize an effective defense, the casualties in the landing operation might be even greater.

"The old man is right,"

After a moment of silence, Fang Yu spoke.

"Operation City Garden was indeed a hard lesson. But..."

He walked over to the map and pointed out several key points on Frog Island.

"Our current conditions are completely different from those of the Allied forces back then."

The atmosphere in the conference room became tense again.

Everyone is waiting to see how the young chief engineer responds to this sharp question...
