Chapter 181 Fishery Policy? Fishery Policy!

Hainan, inside a joint command headquarters.

At the launch meeting of the "Reclamation" plan, representatives from different departments such as military regions, scientific research units, administrative units, etc. sat around the sand table and discussed the specific implementation steps of the plan.

".Our soldiers are living a hard life!"

The old man named Hu Haibiao sitting in the middle sighed heavily and thought to himself.

Just now, everyone had listened to Wu Congrong's report. The information collected from the frontline officers and soldiers could be said to have stung the hearts of everyone present.

Yes, before that, they did know that the conditions on the sea were difficult. Some people had even gone there to visit and inspect, but no one had ever really been stationed on the rocks on the sea for a long time like those soldiers.

On the ground.

Therefore, objectively speaking, their view of the so-called "hardship" is one-sided and formal, and they have not really considered how to improve the conditions there.

But this conflict was a key opportunity. Everyone's attention was drawn to the sea, making "change" possible.

Everyone has established a consensus in their hearts at the same time, that is:

If even basic living conditions cannot be guaranteed, it is simply impossible to form a combat capability in a distant maritime border.

Reclamation and island building is a big plan, but before it can actually start, there are some things that can be done that must be started first.

For example, at least more patrols should be sent there to ensure basic safety.

Fighting with monkeys with stones pulled from the sea must never happen again.

Thinking of this, Hu Haibiao said:

"We already know almost everything about the situation over there."

"Now, we have to start discussing the specific implementation strategies of the plan."

"Here, as the main person in charge of the plan, I must first convey to everyone the basic framework information of this plan."

"We plan to build the country's first large-scale cutter suction dredger within a year. This dredger will be dispatched to the Xisha waters immediately after it is launched to carry out reclamation and island building operations."

"According to the design parameters, this dredger can complete the basic island building work within a month. Subsequently, we will carry out infrastructure construction on the island and build our Xisha base."

"This base will become our first fulcrum at sea. Relying on this fulcrum, we will further expand the scope of control and gradually build other islands."

"Our ultimate goal is to build more than 20 large islands in the Xisha area, of which at least three main islands must have the ability to take off and land aircraft."

"This will greatly strengthen our deterrence on the sea and help advance our deep blue strategy."

"During the process, all departments must cooperate sincerely and do their best to ensure the smooth progress of the plan."

Having said this, Hu Haibiao paused for a moment, and then continued:

"This maximum effort refers to 'all means below hot war'."

"Everyone, are you clear?"

After hearing his words, everyone in the headquarters nodded, but soon, representatives in military uniforms raised their hands and asked questions.

"So, according to this plan, most of the operations in our military region are scheduled for one year later?"

"So that means that in this year's time, we still have to maintain the status quo?"

After hearing his words, Hu Haibiao shook his head and replied:

"no."

"That's another point I want to make."

"Our entire island building plan is divided into three stages: front, middle and last."

"What I just said is only the middle plan for island building, or in other words, the main strategy."

"But before the main strategy can be implemented, we still need to fully complete the preparatory plan, which is the preparation for the main strategy."

"As mentioned just now, building equipment is part of the pre-plan - of course, this plan belongs to our scientific research and construction units to execute."

"What the military region has to do is two things."

"The first thing is to do our best to mobilize the resources currently available to improve maritime garrison conditions. The iron houses must be eliminated. Even if we transport sediment there ship by ship like the Vietnamese do, we must first

Build small barracks."

"The second thing is that the military region must dispatch patrol forces to form a regular force presence, and at the same time clear the sea surface and provide support for the maritime garrison forces."

"Of the two things, the first thing is not too difficult to operate. It can be solved by investing more resources and budget."

"But the second thing is not easy for you. Here, I want to hear your opinions."

After speaking, Hu Haibiao fell silent and waited quietly for answers from others in the headquarters.

The discussion gradually began, and the headquarters was noisy.

In fact, as he said, "clearing the sea" is not as easy as it seems.

It is true that although China's naval power is weak now, it is still more than enough to defeat Vietnam.

But the problem is that under the current environment, especially when the island has not yet been built and we are unable to receive strong air support, we cannot achieve success by just fighting.

Because our real opponents are not those monkeys at all.

It is the Western forces that are always watching and waiting around.

Even if we want to take action, we have to wait until the island is built, the air force can form effective projection, and we have the confidence to rely on suppressive air superiority to form a confrontation with them before we consider it.

But now, there are actually very few strategies that our side can choose.

Thinking of this, Hu Haibiao, who was born in the navy, couldn't help but feel helpless.

Damn it, in the past two years, the Air Force has been releasing new fighter planes one after another as if they were free, but the Navy's equipment has not been updated for a long time.

Finally, there is a Deep Blue 16 project, but it will not be able to achieve combat effectiveness in the short term.

When will it be our turn?

I heard that the General Staff has started discussing the construction of a new destroyer. I hope this thing can be put on the agenda soon. Otherwise, the development of the three legs of sea, land and air will be too uneven.

He shook his head, retracting his slightly distant thoughts, and glanced at the people in the headquarters again. At this time, everyone's discussion also came to an end.

After a while, a representative raised his hand and spoke:

"Leader, we just discussed this."

"Judging from the current situation, the space for us to maneuver is extremely small."

"We can neither proactively provoke a hot war, nor sit back and watch the other side's power expand."

"So, in this case, our best choice is actually only one: the military region does not intervene, and other forces intervene."

Hearing this, Hu Haibiao was stunned for a moment.

Other forces intervene?

Are there other forces we can call upon at sea?

So, he asked:

"So according to this point of view, which part of the power should we mobilize?"

The representative nodded heavily and then said:

"have!"

"Fisheries!"

"Fisheries administration? Are you kidding me? What kind of deterrent can their 100-ton boats have?"

Hu Haibiao asked dissatisfiedly.

However, the representative who spoke had no intention of backing down. He smiled slightly and replied:

"Leader, our fishery administration vessel does not have to be 100-ton class."

"Considering the current situation, I think it can be 3,000 tons."

Half a month later, on the Xisha Sea.

Zhu Wen'an carefully drove the boat on the sea, aiming for the small island with a red flag not far away.

He held the disassembly tool tightly in his hand, and his heart was beating wildly uncontrollably.

You know, just over a month ago, a conflict broke out on that island.

If he hadn't been rescued in time after returning home, there wouldn't be anyone like him in the world.

The military ordered to block the news, and only said to the outside world that its side had returned with a great victory there, but no one with a discerning eye could see that this was just taking advantage of the other side's lack of preparation.

If there really was a fight, how could our own navy's lack of training and low combat effectiveness be enough to fight those people?

Let alone two, even if there are seven or eight, I'm afraid it will end in a miserable victory at best.

But even under such circumstances, the military was still unwilling to stop.
