Chapter 3645: Sea helper

The situation in the northern area of ​​the Suez Canal does not seem to be peaceful. Therefore, the Korean Navy has stepped up patrols here. About twelve speedboats have been dispatched here. This shows that the Navy Command is very concerned about this area.

"Meida" speedboat, his speedboat number is twelve, a good lucky number, and also the lucky number of their captain, a young ensign officer Wang Mo. The speedboat is cruising at a speed of 18 knots. This speed is very fast for all sailing ships. Some flat-bottomed boats are equipped with steam engines, which allows them to sail far away, but they need to use a lot of fuel. Coal, but a new alternative has emerged, that is heavy oil, heavy oil from Seth, which is cheap and burns well, but the cost of boiler modification is too expensive, which requires a lot of money to add to such a ship. . Most of them still use coal-fired boilers. The advantage of this is that they can burn wood if necessary. Other things are fine too. It's better than spending more money anyway. In addition, they generally have a large load capacity. In order to pull the cargo, all the ships are overloaded. The difference lies in the amount of overload.

"Sir. I want to know why our speedboat is called the Meda. The name is so terrible." A private soldier was cooking. Their meals were simple, canned food, biscuits, and then made some tricks. The method is to cook some grilled fish with a small fire. This kind of work is usually done by these recruits, and the veterans will bask in the sun, as if they are old-age.

"Hehe, because the **** ensign officer's lover's name is called this broken name." A sergeant looked around and said, he was worried that the ensign would hear this name. The ensign came from a naval military academy not long after graduation because he had participated in Jeju. The naval battle is an exceptional improvement. In fact, he was serving as a trainee officer at the time. This was not a good combat experience, because the sergeant knew that none of the torpedoes fired by the ensign’s speedboat hit the enemy’s warship, because among the graduates in the same period, there were They hit two ships and were promoted to lieutenant. They entered the large warships to serve as officers in some important positions. Only this kind of unsuccessful guy would continue to serve as such officers here.

"Lover? This doesn't seem to sound like the name of a woman in the Central Plains." Private soldier said curiously. The South Korean Navy is the most amorous navy, because many of them are naval officers and non-commissioned officers are veterans among women. They are in every base, as long as they are stationed there, even one night, they will suddenly have many more lovers. Some people can’t even remember them. For example, there is such a joke that a navy lieutenant actually numbered his lover because their names are too long and it is easy to make mistakes. If numbers are used, all The problem is solved. This also shows that the South Korean navy is chaotic. And they also have such conditions to carry out such chaotic situations. I don't want other troops to have so many opportunities at all.

"It's a Seth woman, amorous, it's not a good thing at first sight." The sergeant said cursingly. Because he knows that there are many women like this on the base, and they surrender to those naval officers. When that officer leaves the base, they will join other naval officers. They only rely on This is just for a living. It doesn’t matter to them, because they have no financial resources, and those naval officers not only have money, but most importantly, they can do many, many things. These things are enough for them. They become comfortable. This is their life, and this kind of life makes the Korean sergeants feel very disgusted. In their opinion, these women are all to be killed because they are showing off the feelings of men. They are not. What a good thing, the sergeant was obviously injured, so he cursed like this. For him, such a curse is too light. He wanted to kill those damned women.

"Haha." The privates can only smile, because the salaries of the privates are very low. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the navy, South Korea has to increase the salary of a large number of naval personnel, but that's it, many naval personnel chose to retire because of the sea crew His life is much easier than here, and he earns a lot, so he doesn't have to bear such a big threat. In desperation, the South Korean Navy can only continue to provide salaries for personnel in some important technical positions. In other places, they can only be recruited and used by conscripts. In this way, they are equivalent to half of the professionalization of the South Korean Navy. But this still does not meet their needs well. The No. 12 speedboat moved forward slowly. There were many places they needed to patrol. Second Lieutenant Wang Mo stood on a high place with a telescope to check the situation. The sea area of ​​this generation is still relatively wide. Merchant ships are not in great danger yet, if they encounter a situation, they will be able to see it for the first time.

South Korea, Xinzheng, Admiralty. Many naval officers come in and out. The navy has become an important department. Most of South Korea’s economy and the maintenance of the colony need the navy to maintain. Although the army has maintained a certain size, no matter what, the army has actually been reduced to There are less than 70,000 people, and the navy has expanded to 80,000 people. This is a very delicate tipping point, which shows that the South Korean government has a high degree of attention to the navy. They have allocated a large amount of funds here, which is an important development opportunity for the Navy, but they still cannot feel effective satisfaction.

"Navy personnel are still lacking, not only naval personnel, but more places need to be supplemented. There is a serious shortage of warships and there are too many jurisdictions. For example, the Western Theater, where there is the Seth, there is the Suez Canal, and the southern part. On the African continent, there are too many tasks, too few forces, and serious dispersion of forces. This is indeed a great disadvantage for us. This is a very disadvantageous point for us.” Navy The deputy chief summed up the latest report.

"Well. Although the Ministry of Finance has given us a large amount of funds to solve this problem, in a short period of time and in the future, it seems that we cannot do this by ourselves. I think you know the situation here. . It seems difficult for us to change this situation." The Secretary of the Navy said distressedly. Although navy funding has increased. However, there are many problems. There are too many places to maintain this huge empire. It seems that they need to continuously increase their naval funding to ease their situation, but it is impossible for the finances to support this. After all, everyone's situation still needs to survive.

"However, our navy staff members have proposed a constructive approach, that is, let those places, or independent confederate countries, also have navies, such as Jeju, or Bangla, they need some independence. The existence of the naval power of the United States, in this way, can greatly help us to reduce some of the burden." The navy secretary proposed such a solution. Hearing this, the Secretary of the Navy frowned. This plan was not unconsidered, but considering the status of the South Korean Navy, the Navy Ministry does not approve of such a plan unless a fundamental change can take place.

"Reason, I need a reason, at least to be able to explain clearly why such a thing happened, I need the great influence that this can bring." The Secretary of the Navy said.

"Our view is this. We can first allow these areas to have a certain amount of naval military power, or maritime police force, and let them conduct anti-smuggling or maritime security. After all, such things happen frequently, and we can start from this. They are separated from the maritime police mission, and then let them have a certain combat capability. They are mainly equipped with speedboats and the light frigates built now. We can let them have such capabilities. And we can promote our naval products, if If we succeed, we can solve part of the funding problem. After all, we have sold naval products. This is beneficial to our increase in military expenditure. We can build more warships." Said the navy deputy.

"The most important thing is that when they have certain combat capabilities, we can let them fight with us and let them provide greater help. This is a very interesting way for us to increase power. If we simply let us do this, we may not be able to do this. It is like a bank. If we continue to borrow, lend, lend and lend, as long as the money passes through our hands, we can solve a lot of this. Similar problems. This is not a difficult task for us.” said the Navy Deputy Commander. After listening to the Secretary of the Navy, he suddenly felt that the Vice Commander of the Navy made a lot of sense. He seemed to have no possibility of rejecting it.

think about it. Isn't the current situation of the South Korean Navy like this? He seems to be in need of a sea helper. In order to solve the problems they can't usually solve, for example, they can get more help in the key maritime security. With such help, they can free up a lot of hands to solve their own problems. This seems to be a very good solution.

"That's right. The key is that we can also solve part of our naval funding problem. This is the key, and we can control the source of weapons and equipment. You must know that they cannot build such warships themselves. They are not beautiful. This kind of ability, but we have, this is actually equivalent to we control the other's weapons and equipment. This is a very good suggestion." The Secretary of the Navy agreed.
