Chapter 831: The overseas descendants of Yan and Huang are hardened!
Wu Fu, the commander-in-chief of the visiting fleet, stood on the bridge and looked at the approaching German warships with a smile on his face.
"Germany has dispatched their most advanced frigates, but there is still a generation gap between these frigates and ours. Look at the many big **** on its bridge. Each big ball is an independent radar. Or satellite antennas, with so many large and small equipment, electromagnetic compatibility is definitely a big problem." Captain Li Chun said: "It would be good if their overall combat effectiveness reaches 50% of ours."
"Twenty percent is not bad." The first mate said from the side: "Although it has a vertical launcher, it only launches Sea Sparrow ship-to-air missiles. This kind of missile has a short range and cannot **** the entire fleet. , overall, it is on the same level as our 052."
052 does not have a suffix. Of course, it is the first two destroyers built, No. 112 and No. 113. The displacement and other things are really similar to the F123 class, and the power combination is also similar.
"Actually, German technology is also good. When we were building the 052, the reduction gearbox we used was a product of the Lenk Company. It was the same model as the warship opposite. After so many years of use, we dismantled it. After checking, there is not a single metal **** inside, which shows that the German technology is still very good." Wu Fu said: "Now we can have such good warships, not because the other party is too weak, but because we are too strong. Because we have Mingzhou Group!"
When the 112 destroyer was built, the country was still very backward. Diesel engines, gas turbines, gearboxes, and even propellers all had to be imported. None of them were made in-house. But now, the power systems of domestic warships have long been completely domestically produced. , the reduction gearboxes manufactured by the domestic Huating Water Pump Factory are no worse than the imported ones. These are the results of Mingzhou Group's efforts to catch up and surpass.
Speaking of this, everyone is very emotional.
Woo, ow!
The warship on the opposite side blew its whistle.
“Let’s sound the whistle too!” Wu Fu ordered: “Give me the radio.”
“This is the Eastern Navy’s European visit formation! Nice to see you.” Wu Fu called to the other party in fluent English.
“The German Navy Mecklenburg here welcomes you, please come with us to Wilhelmshaven.”
"receive."
The two sides formed a formation.
On the Mecklenburg, the German naval officers and soldiers looked at the warships in formation with them with envious eyes. The four-sided phased array on the top of the mast is the most eye-catching. The Orientals are so powerful. Advanced warships can fly in short distances. It was built within a short period of time, forming a sharp contrast with our own side.
From the bridge on their side, you can overlook the deck of the Dongfang warship. The honeycomb-shaped launchers behind the naval guns are even more enviable. Inside are anti-aircraft missiles with a range of one hundred kilometers. This is a regional air defense ship. !
"Our F124 frigate also has the ability to launch long-range anti-aircraft missiles." Captain Karl said reluctantly: "Moreover, the Standard-2Block IIIA long-range anti-aircraft missiles we launch have a range of 167 kilometers, which is farther than the range of their anti-aircraft missiles. ."
“Captain, do we want to test them?” said the first mate beside him.
“Test what?”
"Of course it's maneuverability. Let's just say that in order to meet the deadline, we need to sail at full speed. The gas turbine they use is made by themselves. It may be defective and cannot reach the maximum speed."
Karl nodded: "Okay."
"Mecklenburg calls the Eastern Navy's European visit formation. Due to time constraints, we hope that you can speed up and sail into Wilhelmshaven at full speed. A large number of spectators have gathered there and they can't wait." Karl called while Found the best excuse.
“Received, our No. 167 will speed up and arrive at the port first.” Wu Fu replied.
“Humph, I think these Germans are not well-intentioned.” Li Chun said, “They might want to take this opportunity to test us.”
“Then let them see the Eastern speed, start the gas turbine and move forward at full speed!” Wu Fu said.
"yes!"
“There is a puff of light blue smoke coming out of their chimney. Are they starting the gas turbine?” On the Mecklenburg, the first mate put down the telescope and said.
"Yes, I heard the sound of the gas turbine. They should have been turning on the diesel engine all the way here. Now, let's see... wait, they have begun to accelerate! Quick, start our LM2500, we must not fall behind !”
The characteristics of a gas turbine are that it can reach the maximum speed just after starting, and it can run at full power, something that a diesel engine cannot do.
At this time, after hearing the captain's order, the engineers began to hurriedly start the LM2500 gas turbine. However, while they were starting up, No. 167 had already surged ahead.
“Is their gas turbine so powerful?”
“Yes, their warships have a larger displacement than ours and a smaller aspect ratio. It is said that the resistance should be very large. Isn’t this power equivalent to 40 megawatts?”
“We will not be left behind by the German warships.” On No. 167, Li Chun said excitedly: “Compared with our speed and top speed, they are not qualified!”
F123 is the most advanced frigate in Germany, but for the sake of safety during construction, it did not use the latest LM2500 gas turbine from the United States. It still used the Mod7 model. The single-machine power is not high, but it is more stable and mature.
Normally there is no problem, but now if you want to achieve high speed, it is incomparable with Dongfang. Although No. 167 only uses GT-15000 gas turbine, the ship type is reasonable and the propulsion system is properly matched, so the speed increase and top speed capabilities are both good.
"Should we wait for them?" The first mate was a little worried. If the German warships were left behind and one of our own warships rushed up first, it would feel a little inappropriate.
"Wait? Why wait! There are many of our compatriots waiting at the port. We have to drive to the port as quickly as possible to let our compatriots see the warships built by our motherland." After Li Chun finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Fu, I saw Wu Fu picked up the radio and called: "The Eastern Navy's European visit formation is calling the Mecklenburg. Is our speed too fast? Do we need to stop and wait for you?"
Karl gritted his teeth: "No need! We can catch up!"
In the catch-up encounter problem, a key point is the speed difference. If the person behind wants to catch up with the person in front, it must be faster.
Now, the German warship behind is slower than the one in front, so it is chasing farther and farther.
Karl put down the radio and said angrily: "Full speed, full speed, I don't believe I can't catch them!"
No. 615 did not participate in this kind of competition. After all, the big-bellied comprehensive supply ships are not very fast. It is good if they can keep up with the formation cruising speed. Don't even think about the combat speed. Anyway, it is only out to be a nanny. The main subject of the interview is the 167 Number.
At this time, our side has clearly gained the upper hand.
“If our warships are equipped with GT-25000 gas turbines, the Germans will be even less able to catch up.” On the supply ship, everyone said while watching the excitement.
"Now they can't catch up. Both sides have reached their maximum speed. Our warship is 30 knots and their warship is 29 knots." The second officer looked at the data observed on the shipboard radar and said: "Their maximum speed is faster than ours." It’s low, so the pursuit goes further and further away.”
Wilhelmshaven.
Knowing that the warships from the East were coming, many people had already rushed over in advance and held a spontaneous welcome ceremony for the arrival of the Eastern formation. Even if they could not reach the warships, they could just look at the warships of the motherland from a distance on the pier. OK
At the line between the sea and the sky in the distance, a pyramid-shaped thing appeared. The thing slowly enlarged, revealing the circular radar dome on it.
"I'm coming!"
“Really? How did you see it?”
“The phased array radar on the top of the mast is in service on only one Eastern warship in the world, it must be it!”
"Yes, it is indeed from the east. I have seen the red flag!" said another person.
Everyone is very excited.
The outline of the warship became larger and larger, and gradually the bridge below, the deck, and the sailors standing on the deck became visible.
"Sure enough, it's our warship. It's beautiful. It's so beautiful!" On the railing of the pier, Zhong Chuhua looked at the warship in the distance and said excitedly. Then he wiped his eyes with his hands. He didn't know whether it was the blowing of the sea breeze or the tears of excitement. .
Schroeder was annoyed: "Where are our warships?"
“Our warship is behind, about three nautical miles behind.”
"Lagged behind? What's going on? Didn't we agree to come in formation?"
“Captain Carl proposed to advance at full speed, but was left behind.”
“Damn it, this matter must be kept secret, it will definitely become a joke if word gets out!”
“The gas turbine stalls, the diesel engine starts, and it just slides over by inertia.” Wu Fu gave the order.
Through the telescope, we can already see the crowds of people on the port in the distance. Those people all have oriental faces. They are all overseas Chinese and Chinese living overseas. They learned that the navy of the motherland was coming to visit, so they gathered here.
No matter where they are, overseas travelers are caring about their motherland!
The gas turbine stopped and the warship entered a state of deceleration. Before entering the port, the speed was already a few knots. Without the help of the tugboat, No. 167 docked steadily at the dock, which fully demonstrated the high quality of the Oriental sailors.
The Orientals are so awesome. In a short period of time, they have overcome the difficulty of ship gas turbines and have mature and reliable gas turbines! Not even Germany can do it!
Germany's diesel engine technology is amazing, whether it is on the surface or underwater, it is the best. However, Germany also has shortcomings. In terms of aviation power, they are very weak. From the end of World War II to the present, they have almost nothing outstanding. It shows that they have not independently developed a fighter jet, nor do they have a qualified aero engine, so naturally they do not have a modified gas turbine.
Of course, they can purchase them. Except for the United Kingdom, almost all the Western world relies on purchasing American gas turbines to drive their warships. All German warships use the same LM2500.
Eastern is so awesome, anything is possible!
The sound of a military band sounded in the port. Schroeder, on behalf of the German Navy, welcomed the guests from the East at the port. The two sides held a series of ceremonies. Then, the Germans finally boarded an Eastern warship for the first time.
"This naval gun of yours should be an imitation of the Dalimao naval gun, right?" After boarding the warship, Schroeder began to point fingers: "Also, this anti-aircraft missile of yours is also an imitation of the S-300. Taste it?"
"Your Excellency Schroeder, is your understanding of our military based on various calm data analyses, or is it based on the media's lies?" Wu Fu asked.
Schroeder’s expression changed: “Of course we have our own analysis.”
“Then you should know that our Hongqi-9 air defense missiles and the S-300 have different body lengths, different guidance methods, different warheads, and these basic data are different. Can they still be imitations?”
Schroeder could only smile coquettishly: "Yes, these basic data are different. The Red Flag Nine missile allows your warship to have regional air defense capabilities. However, you only have such an air defense missile. During combat, Can’t we flexibly respond to unexpected situations? If an anti-ship missile is suddenly discovered at a distance of five kilometers, can Red Flag Nine react? "
"If your point is not true, you have also seen that our phased array radar is arranged at the highest position. Even anti-ship missiles flying at ultra-low altitude and sea skimming can be detected 25 kilometers away. Then Intercept calmly. Of course, in wartime, we will still have aircraft carrier formations and ship-based early warning aircraft. Even if we are fighting alone, we will have ship-based early warning helicopters, and we will not be approached by anti-ship missiles as close as five kilometers. A situation that cannot be detected. You are also a professional navy, do you know these preventive measures?"
Schroeder stopped talking. Ever since he got on the warship, the atmosphere seemed to be less harmonious.
"Of course, if we are really approached by the opponent, we are not afraid. We have 730 close-in defense guns, which assume the task of the last line of defense. With dense projectiles, we can easily destroy the target in the air." Qin Tao pointed. The direction of the second deck, which is also the direction of the bridge.
“Can we go up to the bridge and have a look?” Schroeder asked again.
"Originally it was not possible, but since you have this request, we can meet it. However, please note that our bridge can only be seen, not touched. If someone can't do it, then don't go up."
"Is your bridge so valuable?" Arnold behind Schroeder complained angrily: "We extend a sincere invitation, and this is your attitude?"
“No, it’s just that there were some accidents on our bridge during the voyage, and there was a leakage of electricity in some places.” Wu Fu said: “If you accidentally touch it, it will be bad if you are electrocuted.”
Power leakage, what kind of excuse is this?
The German naval officers looked helpless, but they also knew that since this was the case, it was best not to touch it. If the other party really did something strange and created a leakage, they would suffer a loss.
“Okay, let’s just look at it and not touch it.”
In the 1980s, when Mr. Liu went to inspect the US aircraft carrier, they also asked that he could only look at it and not touch it. So Mr. Liu could only put his hands behind his back and lean forward to see the US aircraft carrier. That scene was frozen in the memory of countless people. In my mind, now I can finally follow the same example and ask foreigners to do this.
The bridge is clean and tidy, and a row of LCD display consoles show its modernity. Since the ship has been parked, the screens are all black and no images can be seen, but you can imagine what it is like when it is working normally. A sight.
"Your bridge has reached the most advanced level in the world." Schroeder sighed. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was the fact. The F-124 frigate they were building was at this level. The ship in front of him The warship has been serving in the Eastern Navy for several years. This is the gap!
"Thank you for the compliment. Our warships from Dongfang have indeed reached the world-class level." Wu Fu was not modest. He came out this time to show the technological development of Dongfang. Let these people wearing colored glasses see that Dongfang is not among the media. That African world that didn’t have electricity yet.
“At what distance can your four-sided phased array radar system detect fighter targets?”
“Can the stealth machine be discovered?”
After being surprised, everyone started asking questions.
"If you want to search from a long distance, we should still use the rotating phased array radar behind us. It is also the one that detects stealth aircraft. Everyone should know that the way to detect stealth aircraft is to increase the intensity of electromagnetic waves. Phased array radar can All radar waves are irradiated on the stealth target, making it impossible for the opponent to hide."
Although the Eastern Navy has long begun to use meter-wave radar to detect stealth aircraft, since it has not attracted outside attention, of course it will continue to deceive.
052B is also the most suitable choice. There is a rotating S-band phased array radar squatting behind it, which just promotes this radar as the main means of fighting stealth aircraft. Europeans think so anyway, and everyone coincides with it.
“Yes, if you want to detect stealth aircraft, you have to use a large phased array radar.” Schroeder said: “Our F-124 frigate also plans to adopt this solution!”
“Can we know the detailed parameters of the radar behind it?”
“You have to contact Mingzhou Group for this. After all, they are responsible for selling warships, and all the parameters of export-type warships are with them.” Wu Fu continued.
“We are not buying warships.”
“Then what’s the use of knowing the detailed parameters?”
The navy from the East has arrived, and the German navy has also boarded the warships from the East. However, the atmosphere is not very harmonious. Many of the things they want to know cannot be obtained. These Eastern people are really unfriendly!
After getting off the warship, Schroeder and others were dissatisfied, but then, the crowd watching below let out cheers.
“Long live, long live!”
“What are they doing?”
“They are organizing sightseeing tours for tourists.”
“Hmph, let them earn some ticket fees, and their warships can only be used as tourist attractions.”
This sentence sounds sour when I say it.
At this time, on the bridge of the warship, several sailors were organizing an orderly tour for the audience, going up from the bow and down from the stern. Although they could only take a quick look at it, it was also an eye-opener for many people. .
Zhong Chuhua walked towards the warship with the support of his son. When he saw him coming, the sailors quickly stepped forward to help him.
“Old man, please slow down.”
"It doesn't matter, I can leave." Zhong Chuhua said: "Although I am old, I must personally board the warship of our motherland!"
“Old man, come here first, we will take pictures under the gun.”
On the entire warship, the most suitable place for taking pictures is the naval gun. It is powerful and majestic, and most people recognize it. The angular naval gun looks even more spectacular.
The old man walked over, and the family members behind him also followed. His son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter all stood in front of the naval gun.
Click!
A precious photo has been taken.
“Old man, please slow down, let’s continue the tour. Behind us are the anti-aircraft missiles produced by our motherland, with a range of a hundred kilometers.” A female soldier who came with the warship came over and took on the role of explainer.
“One hundred kilometers?”
“Yes, one hundred kilometers. Currently, only the navies of the United States and Mauritius have air defense missiles of this level in the world, and none in Europe.”
The TV camera was transmitted back to the east. Looking at the scene on the TV, Qin Tao was also filled with excitement.
"The ancient Romans back then had a straight back because they had a strong motherland behind them. Now, when our people go overseas, they will also straighten up. No matter what problems they encounter, the motherland will be behind them. The motherland's The navy will rush to the scene as soon as possible."
"That's right, neither the Air Force nor the Army can do this. Our Navy needs to hold more visits and go to more countries to promote the strength of our motherland." Wu Shengli nodded. This time No. 167 earned enough face for the Navy. , the navy also has a beauty in its heart.
“In the future? It’s easy to go to other countries, but Europe will probably be difficult enough.”
“Why?”
"We have already slapped you in the face once, and you want to slap us in the face a second time? If we go there again, we will definitely send 052C. Aren't their poor warships even more insignificant in front of us?"
Wu Shengli was speechless: "Okay, you are right."
“We also need to appear internationally frequently so that foreigners can gradually adapt to the strength of our navy and avoid looking at us through colored glasses.”
While a few people were talking and laughing, someone walked in.
“Reporting to leaders, just half an hour ago, the U.S. Navy test-fired a Standard-3 missile and successfully hit an Aries ballistic missile.”
"What?"
