Red Alert Somalia

When he came to the console, Li Lan shook his head after taking a look at the total base funds that had fallen to eight figures.

He did not divert his attention away, his eyes were still fixed on the constantly changing amount of funds.

At present, the daily capital income of the base is less than 3 million. If the import of ore from abroad is not resumed as soon as possible, this situation will gradually decrease until the base’s own capital output, that is, the gold and diamond ore obtained by mining are deducted every day And the 1.8 million base funds received after the rare mines.

For Li Lan, who has received more than 5 million yuan in funds every day for a long time, 1.8 million yuan is a sad day.There is no way to start all the construction work of the base, especially the navy, a big money-eater, with a daily income of 5 million, can only barely build a dual aircraft carrier battle group every two years. This is still the construction of conventional aircraft carriers.

If it is to recover to the daily income of 1.8 million yuan, it will take at least five years for Li Lan to build a single aircraft carrier battle group. After all, the aircraft carrier battle group is a wide-ranging war group, and naval and air forces need it. With perfection, the air force and army are also waiting to be strengthened, and the space-based satellite system must also be continuously improved. Many national industries and economies also rely on bases.The base capital of 1.8 million, in terms of the highest value, is no worse than hundreds of millions of dollars.But even if it is 100 million US dollars, for Li Lan, sincere heart is not enough.

Fortunately, when the war is over, Li Lan can continue to purchase ores from abroad, especially those from China.Li Lan didn't collect any of the weapons and equipment that Zhonghua bought from him. Instead, they were all discounted into iron ore with the most purchase value. This was a five-year contract for refined iron ore.

As for the efficiency of conversion, this is not so easy to solve. The construction units of the base are constantly building ore refineries every day. With the joint efforts of the three sub-bases, other construction units are not built.There are six ore refineries in one day, and there are only two ore refineries that can actually recover funds. The other four ore refineries produced by sub-bases can only smelt various ores to produce various steel and gold smelting. Products.

Therefore, the real restriction of base fund income is that the ore refining plant is not enough. After all, the funds that an ore refining plant can get every day are limited.Coupled with the limited speed of base construction, even with a large amount of ore imports, it is still difficult to make great progress in current capital income.

Fortunately, if he could recover the income of more than 5 million base funds per day, it would be enough for him to use it.

In the next stage, Li Lan will be busy for a while.Somalia has just stabilized and it is time to expand international exchanges.He will also run around the world for a while, the car is ready, and now he just waits for the time to come.Before that, he needed to fully implement all the construction work of the base.

He has already arranged the construction of the tank page, except for the red police unit at the main base.The vehicle construction of the other two sub-bases has also been selected. With the support of funds, tanks and various vehicles are continuously produced every day.

There is still a lot of construction work left. As the family business gets bigger and bigger, things will naturally increase.

During this period of time, he has formulated the basic military development framework, and now it is time to complete these frameworks.

Sitting on the console, the navy page opens first.

Ships are a very involved type of red police unit.In addition to various combat and support ships, there are also many civilian ships, similar to vehicles, both for military and civilian purposes.Prior to Li Lan's focus on military types, four aircraft carriers were produced, which severely delayed the development of other types.

At present, the navy of the base has a solid foundation.Destroyers and Aegis ships can basically meet the needs of the navy, and the Somali Navy with two aircraft carriers is basically enough. Among the remaining units, the number of sea scorpions has reached as many as 30.This number is also sufficient to meet the current situation.There is no need to build too many giant squids and dolphins.

Therefore, for the next focus, Li Lan will put funds on other units. This time, the future development framework of the Navy is formulated based on the evolution and results of the war.In this naval battle, although Somalia did not fall short, some forces were very uncoordinated in terms of the number of combat units.

There is no doubt about the strength of the dual aircraft carrier battle group, and the combat effectiveness has also been tested in actual combat. Compared with the US military, the Red Police Corps is not weak in both tactics and experience.But in the underwater battlefield, the performance of the Red Police Navy was not very satisfactory.

It is not to deny the submarine force's record and merit, but because of the limitation of the number of submarines, it did not pose too much threat to the coalition forces.This is the reason Li Lan had not considered it enough before, and it is not the navy personnel themselves.

Because of the sudden arrival of construction work and funds, Li Lan considered that the submarines should cooperate with the aircraft carrier to go to sea. All of them produced attack-type nuclear submarines. The underwater displacement is tens of thousands of tons. It does have a strong combat effectiveness, but only from beginning to end. Four, facing a sea area with a theater of tens of thousands of square kilometers, there are too few submarines.The role played is also extremely limited.

The cost of an attack nuclear submarine is 60 million base funds (the first 20 million cost is obviously wrong, the setting is 60 million.), the construction time is six months, this price and the cost of time The combat power brought by tens of thousands of tons of submarines is nothing at all.At that time, it was mainly due to the lack of shipyards and financial constraints, as well as insufficient considerations. In just over a year, only four submarines were launched.

Now, he has a clearer construction plan. The conventional typhoon-powered submarine, which he has always ignored because of the consideration of the submarine's cooperation with the aircraft carrier, is also mentioned today by Li Lan as the construction plan.

Typhoon conventional power submarine:

The main navy combat unit, the construction price-27 million base funds, construction to service time-three months.(Consumption of 300,000 per day)

Description: A conventional submarine powered by fuel cells, diesel-electric propulsion + closed-cycle propulsion system (aip).This is a quasi-nuclear-powered conventional submarine that can continue to dive underwater for more than twenty days.It can not only stay away from the offshore patrol, but also block the sea.

Simple data: the water displacement is 4200 tons, the underwater displacement is 5100 tons, the normal underwater speed is 22 knots, the low-speed cruising distance on the surface is 5000 nautical miles, and the underwater diving distance is 600 nautical miles.Six-tube 533 mm torpedo launcher with 78 personnel.

Equipped with: active and passive sonar system.High-frequency active lightning protection sonar, search and attack periscope system, radar interception system, combat system, combat data link, electronic warfare system.

Special note: capable of submarine-launched anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, plus torpedoes for a total of 24 ammunition.

Suggestion: cheap and practical.A true oceanic black hole.A good horse is equipped with a good saddle, please don't be stingy to equip it with high-performance torpedoes.

According to the scale of the world's submarines and the future development direction, combined with the recruitment efficiency of the base arms, Li Lan's idea is also very simple, completing the construction of four conventionally powered submarines and two attacking nuclear powered submarines every year.The scale of six submarines a year, this speed and efficiency.It can be called the number one in the world in peacetime.

In the field of symmetrical warfare, the role of submarines is to transform symmetry into asymmetrical, so all countries will compete to develop aircraft carriers.In particular, Japan and the United States, one launches one ship each year and then seals up one, while the United States is even more straightforward. They are all nuclear-powered submarines, not a single conventionally powered submarine.

Any big country.Or for a small country, when considering the development of its navy, submarines are the top priority, because submarines are a relatively low-value weapon that can create high-value.It is also the most unpredictable underwater weapon.

Choosing a conventionally powered submarine is also a question that Li Lan has considered for a long time.His situation is completely different from that of the United States. The U.S. Navy is currently the only global-controlled navy in the world.Under normal circumstances, it is equipped with 11 aircraft carrier formations, emphasizing the global control of Malacca and other important strategic maritime throats, based on the decisive battle in the ocean.

In order to deter and fight, long-distance raids and maneuvers of tens of thousands of nautical miles are commonplace. Therefore, the overall cruising speed of the aircraft carrier group is between 20 and 30 knots. All ships must be able to keep up with the speed of the fleet, so high-speed and long-lasting Nuclear submarines have become the only option.Conventional submarines simply cannot meet the operational requirements of the aircraft carrier fleet.

Before the emergence of nuclear submarines, conventional submarines specially developed fleet-type submarines in order to adapt to the long voyage of the fleet, emphasizing surface speed.The underwater navigation performance and combat capability were not strong, and the nuclear submarine quickly disappeared after its appearance.In addition, after World War II, the U.S. Navy established its maritime supremacy in one fell swoop. No adversary can pose a substantial threat to the U.S. offshore waters. The U.S. Navy’s duty is to attack and re-attack. The pressure to defend the territorial waters is minimal. Besides, conventional submarines are not capable of confronting the Soviet Union. The ability of submarines, so after 1958, the United States has never built a conventional submarine.

Because of the disappearance of the Soviet Union, the U.S. Navy now has no equivalent naval opponents, and the focus of operations has gradually shifted to support operations in the coastal area. However, with the advent of technologies such as aip, the performance of modern conventional submarines has overflighted, and they have become more and more capable in coastal waters. Nuclear submarines are qualified for a showdown, and nuclear submarines are in a weak position in shallow seas due to their huge size. Therefore, the U.S. Navy has been engaged in an internal debate about how big conventional submarines are in wartime. The combat effectiveness of the US military, and whether the US military should purchase some conventional submarines for itself.

This radical proposal is based on the following two urgent reasons: First, the US Navy may not be able to get enough funding in the future to maintain a force of 40 or 50 attack nuclear submarines.Second, the silent performance of modern diesel-electric submarines puts nuclear submarines in a very disadvantaged position, especially in offshore areas.

To solve this problem, the U.S. government leased a Swedish submarine (only 5 submarines in service in Sweden) and its crew eight years ago to help train the U.S.’s anti-potential capacity and evaluate the combat capabilities of conventional submarines. Preliminary research on the submarine project.

The result is still unknown, but one thing is certain. The United States has no technical obstacles to conventionally powered submarines. The only factor is whether the construction of conventionally powered submarines is in line with the future US Navy's strategy.

The development of conventionally-powered and nuclear-powered submarines is not a problem at all for the Red Police Corps.

The Red Police Corps needs not only a submarine force capable of following the aircraft carrier for ocean-going operations, but also a conventionally powered submarine capable of performing offshore defense operations, especially in the area near the Gulf of Aden in Somalia. In order to achieve the need to block the waterway, a silent AIP submarine force with good displacement and proper displacement is very necessary.

The real strategy of this submarine has several places. Its endurance can go to the Indian Ocean exit of the Strait of Malacca, it can also go to the Persian Gulf to block the waterway, and it can also go to the western Red Sea to assist the air force in blocking the Suez Canal, and for the Pacific to the Indian Ocean. Channels can also pose a huge threat.

In terms of cost and combat effectiveness, conventional power is definitely more cost-effective than nuclear power. In terms of offshore performance, aip submarines are also better than nuclear-powered submarines.Therefore, considering the needs of future operations and the strategic pace of the Navy, it is necessary to build this conventionally powered submarine.

In cooperation with aircraft carrier operations, this requires nuclear-powered submarines. In other respects, aip submarines can fulfill many operational requirements.Four a year is a very fast construction speed, but in order to quickly form combat effectiveness, and to fulfill the technical requirements of the navy, the Red Police Corps needs at least sixteen such aip submarines.In other words, at this speed, it will take four years to build.

In the deep ocean, nuclear-powered submarines are also needed to form effective lethality, or deterrence.This is also the reason why Li Lan did not give up building nuclear-powered submarines. After all, in the ocean, aip submarines are still much worse than nuclear-powered.

The construction speed of two ships a year is enough. After all, there are now four bases. After the completion of sixteen aip submarines, nuclear-powered submarines will also have a scale of twelve.The demand for nuclear-powered submarines, the Red Police Corps did not reach the size of the US military. After all, the construction of so many submarines at that time was a product of the Cold War period. Now it is hard to imagine why so many nuclear-powered submarines were built.

The nuclear-powered submarine being built now, in addition to being able to travel alone to the deep ocean for combat, is also a supporting submarine for the new aircraft carrier battle group in the future.

Under the developed tactical framework, Li Lan quickly completed the construction and distribution of the submarine. The three shipyards were drawn out and began to choose the construction order and quantity.

Under the premise of developing his own naval power, he also left the construction position when future military purchase orders came in.
