Lieutenant General Ma and Political Commissar Lie, the commander of the North Sea Fleet, are already soldiers in their sixties. They stood upright and looked at the huge warship in front of them with the same envy in their eyes.

If you want to have sea control, you need air control. Until now, the Chinese Navy can only operate within the scope of land-based aviation, to prevent air strikes from opponents.

Before air supremacy, naval ships were in danger, especially now, China's main warships, including those of the brigade-class berthed in the Lushun military port, were still dual-equipped 37mm anti-aircraft guns, which were not enough to cope with the current maritime threats.

The only air defense missile in the Chinese Navy is the No. 531 frigate, equipped with the Hongqi 61 air defense missile. The performance of this missile is also unable to cope with various air threats.

Now, the second-generation destroyer, the Shanghai-class class, is under construction. Only after such destroyers are put into service will they have a point air defense system like the Sea Rattlesnake. Only then can the destroyers of the Chinese Navy be considered able to face air threats independently. They are still far from the advanced level in the world.

And the Pakistani Navy in front of him actually has an aircraft carrier that can be operated and an advanced Tomcat fighter.

Just as he was thinking, Political Commissar Li on the side said, "Old Ma, they are down."

Pakistan's naval aircraft carrier captain Haziz, who is also the commander of the formation, walked off the deck in a neat naval uniform, and behind him was the commander of the flight wing Hussein.

"I'm happy to see you." Haziz thought of General Ma's salute, then stretched out his hands.

General Ma also replied with a military salute and stretched out his hands: "I have been looking forward to you for a long time. Now, we have finally opened our eyes. When we went to the Soviet Union, we didn't see such a huge warship."

"Welcome to board the ship to visit," Haziz said.

These Chinese Navy personnel were very interested in Pakistan's aircraft carriers. At the invitation of Haziz, the first activity of both sides was to visit this huge aircraft carrier.

General Ma and Political Commissar Li followed a large group of captain-level officials to the Pakistani aircraft carrier.

Standing on the open flight deck, everyone is relaxed and happy, and everyone’s thoughts are probably hopeful that they can have such an aircraft carrier.

When I walked to the island, I came to the command room under the leadership of Haziz. There was a small aircraft carrier model inside, and there were two models of Tomcat fighter jets on it, which was exactly the same as the current arrangement. This was also the most direct way to operate an aircraft carrier.

"This aircraft carrier is really good." The Chinese people who followed him kept sighing.

"Aeroplane carrier is just a flight platform, the most important thing is the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier." Hussein said on the side: "Our Tomcat fighter jets have strong combat capabilities and can effectively play the role of competing for air supremacy."

"At the same time, as a formation, it is also very important to guard against enemy attacks." Haziz said: "The air defense system of our aircraft carrier formation is divided into three layers, the outer layer is achieved by Tomcat fighter jets, the middle layer is based on our sea javelin air defense missiles, and the short range is based on our sea sparrows and close-defense guns."

Javelin Air Defense Missile! From the bridge here, you can see the dock next to it. The two Type 42 destroyers are also leaning forward. There are launching devices for Javelin Air Defense Missiles in front and behind these destroyers. At this time, there are no ship-to-air missiles on the double-arm launcher, and they have been placed on the automatic loading equipment below. Even if you look at these, you can feel a powerful atmosphere.

The sea javelin was almost introduced back then. At that time, foreign exchange was lacking, and at the same time, the domestic research and development institutions patted their chests and said that the Red Flag 61 could be developed soon, but it was not until now that they were on the ship!

This delay has delayed at least ten years! If there is a sea javelin, our side will not be afraid of the Vietnamese's air strikes in the Nansha.

"I would have a javelin missile, that would be great," said a destroyer's captain.

"The javelin missile is only a temporary emergency," Haziz said: "Now, we have agreed with the United States to introduce four Kid-class destroyers. The standard missiles on it are our main air-to-air missiles in the future."

Standard missile! After a long period of negotiations, repeated consultations, and various interests, Pakistan finally negotiated with the United States to introduce four Kid-class destroyers. When these four destroyers arrived, the strength of the Pakistan Navy will further grow.

At the same time, the standard missiles above will also be Pakistan's main air-to-air missiles, filling the gap before the self-produced Aegis system is put into service and supporting the fleet's sky.

"If everyone is interested, we can take you to visit our destroyer next." Haziz continued.

It took two hours to visit the wide aircraft carrier, but it took another hour to visit the destroyer next to it. During these three hours, everyone did not feel tired or hungry. Everyone had an idea in their hearts, hoping that domestic warships could also have such performance!

Ladies watch the excitement, while experts watch the tricks. Compared with various subsystems, the command system of warships is the most important. Type 42 destroyers have already realized the control and management of computers, while the brigade level also uses old-fashioned command rituals. At the same time, data links are becoming more and more important. Through data links, sharing various data and allocating combat tasks at the same time is much faster than communicating passwords.

After the visit, the sailors on the warship were finally able to get ashore. They drifted on the sea for several months and stepped on land on their feet, which was a different feeling.

The welcome dinner was held at the headquarters of the Lushun Base. Senior Navy commander and deputy captain of Pakistan attended the welcome banquet.

At the same time, in the Chinese side, in addition to the commander of the North Sea Fleet, even the commander-in-chief of the Navy, General Zhang, also came from the capital to attend the welcome banquet.

"Thank you very much for your selfless help," said General Zhang: "If you do not provide air supremacy, we will be more pressure to recover the Nansha Islands."

No matter how many thanks you say, you can't express your inner gratitude. The Pakistani Navy did help a lot this time. This originally had nothing to do with the Pakistani Navy, but they stayed in the South China Sea to help provide air supremacy and even attack the Vietnamese fighter jets and warships.

In this action, the Chinese Navy became a supporting role.

"Huaxia is our most sincere friend." Haziz said: "In several India-Pakistan wars, China has provided us with selfless help. We Pakistan are a country that knows how to cherish our friends the most. Please allow me to express my most sincere greetings to your Chairman and General Secretary on behalf of our President."

"Yes, we are the most sincere friends." General Zhang said: "Let's cheers to friendship."

Pakistanis do not drink alcohol, their glasses are filled with drinks, but this does not prevent the friendship between the two parties from drinking the drinks, and the faces of both parties are filled with smiles again.

"Pakistan's achievements over the years are obvious to all. Your country has been helping Afghanistan's just war, and at the same time, the domestic economy has also undergone leapfrog development." General Zhang said: "Many of your experiences are worth learning from."

China is also carrying out reform and opening up to develop its economy, but it is far inferior to Pakistan, which makes everyone curious about Pakistan. How did this country develop in the war?

If you analyze carefully, in addition to plundering India, the focus is on developing domestic basic industries and improving education levels, which are all subtle.

Of course, the most important thing about Pakistan's leapfrog development is actually investment in the international financial market. These are all secrets. If the British knew that their pound crisis was created by Pakistan's huge financial funds, they would probably declare war on Pakistan.

"Your country is also full of vitality through reform and opening up," Haziz said: "We believe that after your economic development, you will have more funds to invest in military construction, and you will also have aircraft carriers like us."

There will be bread and everything will be there. China is now renovated and is full of vitality after reform.

"We in China have a long coastline and have a lot of maritime rights to maintain. We do need aircraft carriers," Navy Commander General Zhang sighed.

Now, the country's investment in the military is still focused on ground troops. The air force is second, with the navy the least, while the navy is the most expensive military branch.

"Your side's battle this time was very beautiful, especially the missile boats that killed the Vietnamese, which were even more exciting." Lieutenant General Ma said.

"It's too much." Tasnim stood up: "We submarine soldiers are ghosts hidden under the sea. Unexpectedly, we are our winning weapon."

After saying that, Tasnim paused for a moment and continued, "We really want to have a communication with our Chinese colleagues."

"Of course." General Zhang immediately agreed: "They should learn from you various experiences. Until now, our submarine force has not had any military achievements."

"We hope to go to Xiaoping Island and board the submarine there to see it. It would be even better if we could stay underwater for a few days," said Tasnim.
