The Shandong aircraft carrier is China's first truly domestically produced aircraft carrier, and the Liaoning can only be regarded as China's first aircraft carrier. Of course, with the experience of improving the Liaoning, the Shandong was built very quickly, and the entire process from launch to service was realized in just a few years. The price of the entire aircraft carrier is 35 billion.
It can be said that this is the most expensive weapon in China at the moment. The upfront investment cost is so high, and it is natural that you will not save that money in the later maintenance and operation. Since aircraft carriers need to fight overseas all year round, life on board is boring, so in order to improve the lives of the soldiers, our army has chosen to provide more and better food for the soldiers. Using or improving living conditions is also a major feature of our army and even the mainland.
The Shandong aircraft carrier has six meals a day: breakfast, lunch, lunch, dinner, midnight meal, and early morning meal.
The reason why it is six meals is also very simple, the fighters on the aircraft carrier are in 24-hour shifts, and the people on the day shift have finished eating, and the people on the night shift also have to eat. So in order to ensure the soldiers' night meals, only six meals were made, and there was no difference between the night meals and the daytime.
As for the dishes, it is even more powerful, the eight major cuisines can be eaten as you like, and the food is better than the next restaurant. Next, let's talk about what the six meals of the People's Liberation Army have.
The first is breakfast, which will be made according to the habits of the Chinese, some fritters, porridge, and different side dishes from the north and south of the mainland, and some tarts, milk, bread and other foods will be put according to the personal habits of the soldiers.
Of course, these foods will also be prepared at midnight meals, after all, for those on the day shift, they eat lunch and dinner, and for the soldiers on the night shift, they eat breakfast.
The main meal is made up of a variety of northern and southern dishes, such as braised prawns, braised pork, stewed sea cucumber, and sweet and sour pork ribs. In winter, the chef on the aircraft carrier will also arrange hot pot.
In the afternoon, in addition to the main meal, there is also afternoon tea, in the summer, the afternoon tea is mainly ice cream, fruit scooping, pastries, and in the winter, it is hot milk tea with small cakes, just listening to it will make your mouth water.
For dinner, we pay more attention to the variety of dishes, from noodles to rice, from vegetables to fruits.
After dinner, it's time for midnight dinner, and if your main meal is scheduled for a midnight meal, then you can eat a variety of noodles and fried rice to make sure your stomach doesn't catch a cold while playing.
It is also based on the same reason that the food for the early morning meal is a variety of high-calorie foods. Make sure that soldiers don't have physical problems on cold, dark nights due to insufficient caloric intake.
At the end of the day, even the chefs who put on the cooking had to work two shifts.
Moreover, the recipes on the Shandong aircraft carrier will also make various improvements, and the way to improve is the questionnaire, and the question is very simple, that is, to rate the dishes. Poor-rated dishes are corrected and will not reappear until improvements are complete, while high-rated dishes are reversed. Eat it until the soldiers get tired of it and give it a bad review, and after the bad review, of course, it will continue to improve.
According to estimates, the Shandong ship's daily food expenses alone are about 200,000 yuan.
First of all, the aircraft carrier itself can carry enough food for everyone on board for a month. Secondly, the mainland's aircraft carrier battle groups will be followed by special aircraft carrier fleet supply ships, and the supplies carried by these supply ships are like antiques.
Of course, it's not that the Chinese Navy eats so well, all navies around the world do. For example, the Russian Navy is currently trapped in a vicious circle, with low combat effectiveness, which leads to military spending, and military spending is cut, which leads to even lower combat effectiveness. In the case of low military spending, there is less money to be allocated to food.
Moreover, Russia's light industry, especially the food industry, is very underdeveloped, and a lot of food is difficult to supply, except for the traditional Russian canned fatty meat, basically nothing else can be seen, especially in winter, and you still want to match meat and vegetables? Don't think about it, just give you some vitamin tablets on top. It's still Russia, not some other small country. The food in other countries is even more unsightly.
I am afraid that at present, the only one that can compete with the Chinese Navy in this matter is the US Navy. As the navy with the largest military expenditure in the world, the US Navy also spends the most on food, not only can they eat all kinds of Western meals, but they also like to have barbecue parties in the summer, just like we like to make hot pot in the winter.
Behind the diet of warships is the logistics and supply capacity of an army, and from here we can see that the logistics of China and the United States are currently the strongest in the world.
