Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The dispute between the mother-in-law and the battleship has been very popular in the empire in the past two years. The Imperial Navy Minister Sa Zhenbing and other older naval personnel are staunch battleship faction. In their naval experience, these people never thought that there would be such a thing.  Things like aircraft carriers can be more powerful than battleships, but unfortunately, the real masters of the Imperial Navy are not them, but are in the hands of Baathists such as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun, and Wang Ji.

    This has led to the fact that although there are constant voices of opposition within the Imperial Navy, the development of the navy has always been firmly on the right path.  Moreover, the strength and performance of the Imperial Air Force are obvious to all. It is definitely one of the most important poles in the Imperial Defense Force. Its strength is not inferior to that of the Army and Navy. Their existence is also an important supporting force for the development of aircraft carriers in the Navy.

    Therefore, the empire¡¯s aircraft carrier strategy, under the leadership of the imperial power class, has been developing healthily. From last year to this year, the emergence of the first batch of aircraft carrier formations has finally reached maturity.

    And with the aircraft carrier formation, there is a plan for a decisive battle with the United States.  Otherwise, there is really no other effective method in the world to cross thousands of miles of waves to attack the Americans. Only aircraft carriers can provide the best ultra-long-range strike platform.

    The Pacific Task Force includes two aircraft carrier formations, each of which is composed of a provincial-class aircraft carrier, 4 Wutaishan-class light cruisers, and 12 Golden Shield-class destroyers.

    Among them, the provincial-class aircraft carriers are the treasures of the Imperial Navy. They are named Hebei and Henan respectively. They have a standard displacement of 35,000 tons and a full load of an astonishing 43,000 tons. They are the tonnage of all warships galloping on the sea in the world today.  The most.

    The ship is 312 meters long and 31 meters wide, and is driven by six steam turbines.  It has a two-story hangar, three elevators, a speed of 28 knots, and an endurance of 16,000 nautical miles/14 knots.  The ship can carry up to 124 aircraft, each consisting of a fighter squadron (36 aircraft).  A squadron of bombers (36 aircraft), a squadron of torpedo aircraft (36 aircraft), and a squadron of reconnaissance and electronic warfare aircraft (18 aircraft).

    As an aircraft carrier, in addition to carrier-based aircraft, the ship's armaments are all air defense and anti-submarine, mainly composed of 12 twin-mounted 88mm Thor V series high-level dual-purpose machine guns.  Other underwater bomb launchers and small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns are also everywhere.

    Of course, these armaments are basically useless in actual combat. If the enemy's aircraft breaks through the sky and reaches above the aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrier will basically be close to death.  The aircraft carrier's defense still mainly relies on the firepower provided by the surrounding escort ships.  The light cruisers and destroyers in the fleet formation are the key to the survival of the aircraft carrier.

    In short, these two aircraft carrier formations have become the main force of the task force, and their more than 200 fighter planes are enough to destroy any enemy floating on the sea.  The others were the artillery formation consisting of ten battleships from the Empire, four battleships from Japan, and more than twenty heavy cruisers from both countries combined.

    Coupled with more than 60 other destroyers, transport ships, landing ships, supply ships, etc. in the fleet, this mighty maritime army is formed.  Their goal is not only to conquer Guam, but also to destroy Hawaii and the west coast of the United States at once to destroy the main force of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.

    ¡­¡­

    Sea gulls gather and golden scales swim. In the waters near Guam, the Guam Squadron of the U.S. Pacific Fleet is patrolling.

    On the deck of the US battleship bb-30 Florida, two officers were chatting while bathing in the sunshine and sea breeze on the deck.

    "Hey! Man! I heard that the guys on the island who were withdrawn from the Philippines were very dishonest on the island! Our brothers in the navy had a fight in the bar last time, and they taught us a lesson."

    "That's right, you have to take a look. Whose army is that? I heard that those who won the fight were all the men of the evil dog Doug!"

    "Oh? Dog Doug, what's wrong with Dog Doug? Can he bully our brothers in the Navy? Smith and Smith, you guys are so cowardly! Guam is the territory of our Navy!"

    "Hey! You don't know. Dude! Dog Doug has a background in the military. I heard that he is only in his thirties. He will be promoted to brigadier general soon after he returns. The biggest official on our island, John  The general is just a commodore! Do you think that our Guam fleet can afford to offend such a guy? Moreover, our own brothers are not up to par and can't beat them in a fight, so why should we find someone to fight in a group?"

    The officer who asked the question before thought for a moment.

    "Hey! Forget it, these guys are all lost dogs who have been withdrawn from the defense zone anyway. They are just transiting here and will be withdrawn soon. They won't be able to stay for a few days!"

    "Yes! Speaking of which, these guys are so enviable! They can go home before the war starts and don't have to face the Chinese attack. They are really lucky guys!"

    ?As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the two people changed immediately, and the hidden worries in their hearts were instantly touched.  At this time, the entire Guam, oh, no, even Americans in the entire Pacific are worried about when will the Chinese go to war with the United States?

    While the two young officers were chatting on the deck, they didn't know that behind them, on the bridge of the Guam Fleet's flagship BB-35 "New York", Commodore John and his companions were also worried.  With the same problem.

    "I have informed the headquarters that we will retain two warships and troops withdrawing from the Philippines, and the Army will also leave one division in case of emergency. The headquarters has agreed."

    "Oh? Really? Your movements are really fast, you are worthy of being Quick John! I only hope that this will allow our Guam to last longer!"

    The person who spoke to John was Colonel Stagg, director of the Logistics Division of the Pacific Combat Command. He came all the way from Hawaii to inspect the defense of Guam. He was also responsible for coordinating the withdrawal of the Philippines this time.

    "The General Staff's Pacific Operation Plan is based on the fact that our Pacific Island Chain can be defended. If the Pacific Island Chain is captured by the enemy, then Australia and New Zealand will not be able to withstand the Chinese attack.  That is certain death. Therefore, this plan ultimately depends on the combat effectiveness of the navy. In this regard, what do you think of China's navy?"

    Stagg asked John that people in the General Staff and Pacific Combat Command are very familiar with the performance of the Chinese Army and Air Force, but the Chinese Navy?  To be honest, no one understands it. In fact, the Chinese Navy is very mysterious around the world.

    Stagg¡¯s question made John think for a while before he answered:

    "Well, how should I put it? Judging from the strength shown on the surface, the Chinese Navy should be regarded as a first-class naval power, but it is not yet the top. Ever since the Emperor-class battleship made a stunning appearance in the Sino-Japanese naval battle, there have been very few  No matter how many times they were dispatched, they never fought a real war of equal strength.

    Although the size of the Chinese navy has been expanding rapidly in recent years, especially last year, the launch of six battleships and eight heavy cruisers at one time really surprised many people, but this only shows that China's shipbuilding industry is indeed making rapid progress.  It has already caught up, but the performance of the Chinese navy has not shown much advantage.

    In today¡¯s era, when the navies of various countries are advancing by leaps and bounds, the Chinese navy¡¯s warships are not too out of the ordinary.

    The warships of the Chinese Navy have one characteristic, that is, they are generally fast and have strong endurance, but they have no advantages in tonnage, armor, and main gun caliber.

    From 1912 to the present, the main gun caliber of the navies of the world's powerful countries has evolved from 255 to 305 mm to 356mm. Well, for example, the USS New York at our feet has a 356mm main gun.  There are even rumors that the UK is developing a 406mm naval gun to enhance the fleet's firepower.  As for China, its main ships have always stayed at the 305mm caliber. It has to be said that the performance of the Chinese navy is no longer as amazing as when it first appeared!

    However, there is one advantage of this development of the Chinese Navy that deserves our attention, that is, the naval warships developed in this way have long endurance and high speed. Even Chinese capital ships, even battleship-level warships, have strong ability to break engagements.  .  Although it has little effect in the decisive battle of the fleet, if it independently carries out the task of breaking diplomatic relations, it will pose a great threat to a country like ours.

    I even have some doubts about whether the Chinese navy was developed specifically for countries like ours.  "

    "Oh? Like this!" Commodore John's words surprised Stagg. So far, this is the first person to consider the Chinese Navy from this perspective.

    "But according to you, such warships have less effect in fleet decisive battles. Doesn't that mean that Chinese warships have poorer decisive battle capabilities? Then why doesn't the federal navy concentrate its main force and take the lead in finding the Chinese navy for decisive battles?"

    John¡¯s face turned pale and he didn¡¯t answer, but Stagg thought for a moment and immediately realized his problem, yes!  This sounds good to imagine, but in reality it is not feasible. America's allies, Britain and France will never agree!  On the European battlefield, the pressure from the Allied Powers was indescribably great. Once the United States entered the war, all its forces were attracted there, and it was naturally impossible to concentrate its main force in the Pacific.

    kindness!  Perhaps this is because the General Staff believes that China will not engage in a decisive battle with the United States in the Pacific, so it has adopted the current delaying strategy!

    However, this is only the strength shown by the Chinese navy on the surface. The Baath Party, the ruling party of the Chinese government, has extremely rich military combat experience and is deeply involved in sudden changes.However, the essence of attack operations.  This was the case in the Sino-Japanese War and the Sino-Russian War. The emergence of China's battleships, air force, armored corps and even airborne troops were like magic troops descending from the sky without any warning. So this time, the Chinese Navy will attack the President.  Is it as simple as those in the staff think?  (To be continued.
