The maritime military parade showed China’s early warning aircraft for the first time.
I feel that the military parade was very successful, no matter from the perspective of military diplomacy, from the perspective of the anniversary of the founding of our navy, or from the perspective of military parade and maritime separation, it was very successful. From the perspective of military diplomacy, we invited so many for the first time.29Each high-level representative of the country was led by a naval minister or a naval operations minister and a naval chief of staff.29Countries, in addition14Three countries sent ships to Qingdao, and it is also very important that President Hu personally attended and inspected the naval forces on the spot, which showed our navy the importance of our country and our Party Central Committee to our coastal defense construction and naval construction, and once again stated that our country is now increasing its maritime power and overseas power, which is indeed a very important performance for our national coastal defense construction and naval construction. Another parade was very successful. Basically, our main symbolic equipment came out, including our new destroyers, new frigates, our nuclear submarines and conventional submarines, and our main battle aircraft and naval aviation main battle aircraft. In addition, we are like the Marine Corps, and the only thing that didn’t appear was the coastal defense forces. We have introduced many other programs, and everyone knows them better. In this way, the coverage of the entire five arms of our navy is very complete, and it is basically introduced. We have introduced all kinds of ships, such as navy ships, destroyers, missile boats and amphibious landing ships. As you can see, the whole type of our ships is very complete, and the types of aircraft from the sea include electronic reconnaissance planes, combat planes, monitoring machines, helicopters and other auxiliary planes. The whole formation of dozens of planes is progressing very satisfactorily. In addition, the organization was also very good, without any accidents, and it also aroused the concern of the whole people for coastal defense construction. Everyone went to the scene to watch the performances of foreign navies, all kinds of friendly displays, and boarded the ship. Everyone saw our ships entering and leaving Hong Kong, foreign ships and Chinese ships on the dock, and everyone personally watched them, especially our central media and local media.Has been fully reported. From all kinds of equipment, from the style of our naval soldiers, I think a very complete display of our navy is a great encouragement to our naval construction and a test for us at the same time. We build60Years later, we have seen clearly what kind of maritime power we have now, and whether we have the ability to complete the tasks entrusted to us by the CPC Central Committee and the people. This time, we have successfully completed all aspects.
President Hu Jintao personally reviewed the history of the founding navy
Yin Zhuo: First of all, the biggest surprise is that President Hu inspected our naval forces. There is no doubt about it, because historically, the central leaders, especially the chairman and general secretary of the Central Military Commission, have not inspected our navy many times. In history, Chairman Mao inspected the navy, but did not conduct a military parade at sea. He once took the navy and five frigates. He wrote five inscriptions, but did not hold a military parade. So holding a military parade means that Premier Zhou once visited the navy, and President Zhu De and President Liu Shaoqi held a military parade on the road to the navy, but they did not make a large-scale parade on land. We have a dock, a guard of honor and a military band on land. Comrade Xiaoping inspected the Chinese navy and also inspected it on land. President Jiang Zemin once conducted a maritime parade and conducted a maritime parade. This is President Hu’s visit to the navy again, reflecting the concern of three generations of leaders for our maritime construction. This is the most complete one. There are not only the review on land, the guard of honor and the military band before boarding the ship, but also a complete set of etiquette for welcoming the head of state, firing salutes and so on. There is a maritime determinant, and there is also a maritime parade. The maritime determinant means that the review ship is basically motionless, the ship being read passes through the sea, and the maritime parade is other visiting ships. They are basically anchored, the review ship passed from the previous time, tonnage size, combat vessels, auxiliary ships, etc., and the training ships are arranged in this order according to tonnage size.21A ship was inspected by President Hu. This is the first time in our history, naval history. In the past, it was our own ships, and foreign ships were not inspected. This is since the reform and opening up, which shows that the transparency of naval construction has been high. We have also come with other naval powers, such as the US Navy, the French Navy, the Western Navy, and the South Korean Navy. It shows that we have established mutual trust measures at sea, and the relationship between our two militaries has developed to a considerable extent before we can show friendly performance. Besides, we sent warships with the navies of many countries. At the same time, as we all know, this high-level seminar was also a highlight. There was no such high-level seminar in the past, and naval leaders from all over the world,29Three naval leaders gathered in our place, and we had in-depth exchanges on maritime security issues, maritime cooperation issues, and so on, including escort and anti-piracy issues. The atmosphere was very good, and I think this was a bright spot.
In addition to this, there is also a display of our equipment. This time, we built the latest model, our destroyer, and our latest frigate. Our nuclear submarine also made its debut for the first time. In addition, our large amphibious integrated landing ship is also our latest equipment. In addition, we also have a missile boat, a new stealth missile boat, and this is a new ship shape. It is a catamaran. Did you see that the two boats are close together, which is different from the previous monohull? Brand-new ships and missiles are also new, which is a great achievement in the construction of our navy. Therefore, some new equipment has appeared. I think netizens can see many new things from photos and news media reports.
