    Military Academy, Pentagon, Department of the Navy Operations Hall.

    Compared with the General Headquarters, the combat hall of the Navy Department is much inferior, but it is also one of the best combat halls in China. After all, it is the combat hall of the navy, how can it be too shabby?

    Zhou Weiguo walked inside and looked at the staff who were busy coming and going. After looking at it for a while, he sat down.

    "Houfu, how have your sailors been trained these days? And what about the ships? The auxiliary ship problem I told you before, have you solved it now?"

    If it is just a simple inspection, Zhou Weiguo does not need to come in person, maybe he can just send Yang Jie.

    But since we are here today, and we are here with such a big fanfare, it means that it is definitely not as simple as an inspection.

    After the inspection, we naturally want to know the specific situation of the Navy Department, or to be precise, we want to know the basic situation of the Navy.

    "Commissioner, we have trained many sailors during these times. The total number is about 120,000, but the navy's military expenditures may need to be increased again. If it does not increase, we will not be able to support so many sailors!"

    When Chen Houfu said this, he looked at Zhou Weiguo cautiously.

    China has three major military services: Army, Navy, and Air Force.

    These three branches of the military are the major branches of the military.

    Others, like the Marine Corps, are under the name of the Department of the Navy and are managed by the Department of the Navy.

    Mountain divisions, desert divisions, etc., these units are under the jurisdiction of the Army, and the Air Force is under the jurisdiction of the Air Force.

    Although these have established service headquarters and have commanders, they still fall under the jurisdiction of the Army.

    The same goes for armored troops, so sea, land and air are China¡¯s three major arms.

    Among the three major arms, the Army currently has the highest military expenditure.  The number of people is large, and the consumption of weapons, equipment, fuel, etc. is not small.

    The next ranked one is the navy. The navy can be said to be a gold-eating beast. In recent years, the Chinese navy has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, and its military expenditures have been increasing steadily.

    Next is the Air Force, but I won¡¯t mention the Air Force for now.

    Now Chen Houfu has the biggest headache and the person he is most afraid of seeing is not Zhou Weiguo.  Meeting Zhou Weiguo was all about showing results.  Zhou Weiguo said before that he only looks at the results, not the process.

    The person he was most afraid of seeing was the dead face of the Finance Minister.  Every time he requested an increase in military spending, Chen Houfu had to go to Zhou Weiguo before he could finally pass it.

    And this time, while Zhou Weiguo was coming, Chen Houfu also thought of bringing it up now.

    "Well! How much do you want to increase?"

    Zhou Weiguo didn¡¯t have much reaction after hearing this, he just asked quietly.

    If it is used for the right purpose, Zhou Weiguo has no objection and has nothing to say.  After all, in Zhou Weiguo's mind, now that China wants to compete with Citi for hegemony in the Pacific and control the Indian Ocean, it will definitely need a lot of navy.

    Especially when it comes to Citigroup, everyone knows that when it comes to black technology, willpower should come first, and no one dares to say second.

    But when it comes to productivity, Citigroup ranks first, and no one can match it.

    Citi has produced more than 100 aircraft carriers of various types in total, and they can take off tens of thousands of aircraft directly on the sea.  Thinking about this situation is overwhelming.

    If you don¡¯t have a strong navy, how will you fight against Citi¡¯s aircraft carrier that is like a dumpling?

    "Three percent, do you think that's okay?"

    The Navy¡¯s military expenditure will increase by 3% on the current basis, which does not sound like a large number.

    Isn¡¯t it just three percent?  But you must know that the Chinese Navy's annual military expenditure is more than 200 billion yuan.  Three percent means an increase of 6 billion in naval military expenditures. This is not a small number.

    "Three percent? How could it increase so much?"

    Zhou Weiguo frowned. He did not expect that Chen Houfu would ask for such a large increase in military spending at one time.  Although Zhou Weiguo had a way to supplement military expenditures in the future, he still frowned after such a large increase in military expenditures.

    "Commissioner, we have not only increased the number of 120,000 people, but also the cost of warships and fuel. Three percent is only the current conservative estimate of our Navy Department."

    Chen Houfu licked his dry lips. To be honest, he knew that the increase this time was too much.  But there is no other way.

    Although these days, Zhou Weiguo¡¯s attitude towardsThe army has not undergone major expansion, and still maintains the establishment of 60 regular army groups. The main cost is to change equipment.

    But the Navy has always been in a state of expansion.

    "Well! Can you first tell me what the specific strength of the navy is now?"

    Zhou Weiguo did not answer him immediately, but asked softly.

    "Yes! The number of aircraft carriers and battleships in our navy remains unchanged for the time being. There are already fifty-five heavy cruisers, and about sixty light cruisers. In addition, there are more than 240 destroyers, other frigates,  Minesweepers, minelayers, etc. will be known after I give the commission a form."

    Chen Houfu said that there is also a little pride here. Previously, China's navy actually lacked auxiliary ships.  Just not too obvious.

    Every time there is a battle, the fleet dispatched is barely enough.  Later, after China was divided into five major fleets, it felt a little stretched.  But now, they no longer lack auxiliary ships.

    "Yes! That's right. It seems that your navy has used your time carefully, but regarding the issue of sailors, there are not enough for me to recruit. Anyway, without my order, the expansion cannot be stopped."

    "yes!"

    "Well! I have two purposes for coming here today. The first one is to inspect. Needless to say, I have already seen it.

    Another purpose is about expansion. Now our navy has thirty-one active aircraft carriers and four battleships.  This configuration is still good.  However, recently I have received requests from some of the following troops, and I will tell you about them.  "

    Zhou Weiguo paused for a moment before continuing: "We started a landing battle some time ago, in Hirado and Fukuoka. According to the reports from the following troops, our battleships  The support of the landing force is a big thing.

    The reason why these two landings were successful rather than failed was that the battleship's main gun support was a very critical thing.

    And now the landing battle launched by our country in the Miura area has also begun. Today's battle situation is not very good.  However, the frontline troops also sent back news that it would be better if we could have more battleships to provide artillery support to the ground troops!  ¡± (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
