The design indicators and related requirements of the new first-class aircraft carrier were quickly sorted out and sent to the relevant departments. The project code-named cv03 then began to be launched. The name of this project means that this is the third fleet aircraft carrier designed by China. This aircraft carrier

The displacement is expected to be more than 40,000 tons, and its navigation

The air capability and design level will be the highest in the world, and it will also be equipped with a more powerful hydraulic catapult, brand-new radar and communication equipment, and a centralized battlefield information processing system. Its construction budget is equivalent to US$150 million.

This makes China feel a little bit overwhelmed, and its shipyard slipway

The huge requirements of the Chinese Republic have also made the number of slipways of the Chinese Republic somewhat tight. In a word, the cv03 planned ship is good, but the cost is a bit high! Not only the economic cost, but also the time cost is also terrifying. China estimates that it may

It will take about 3 years to complete

A battleship, such a speed is very slow in a war. It took 3 years. How many years did the First World War last? And even the cv03 aircraft carrier is not unsinkable, and losses are probably inevitable. And in the First World War,

It would take three years to make up for the losses, which was indeed a high price.

So when the Navy got a new toy, Yang Yonglin was not satisfied. After the meeting, he went to Xu Jie to discuss the future fleet and supplement the rotation plan. "Our Heilongjiang-class battleship (that is, China's 30,000-ton battleship

The final construction plan for aircraft carriers is 8. Currently, 5 have been completed, 1 is outfitted and two more are on the slipway.

Construction. If we go according to the plan, our large fleet aircraft carriers in the next 4 to 5 years will all be based on the cv03 plan. Is this risk too great? In the plan, we will start a total of 3 batches of 6 ships. If all are completed

It is estimated that it will take five years. Can we keep up with the progress of the war?" Yang Yonglin said with some worry.

It is true that China's current aircraft carrier battle group is the best in the world. Whether it is the United States or Germany, there is a big gap with China in terms of combat effectiveness. But the problem is that China is currently only one of its own, if it must be considered an ally.

The Italian fleet residing in Southeast Asia can also be counted as one. But compared with the overall fleet size of the Allied Powers and the Entente Powers, China is still far behind. After all, the Americans have a powerful presence like Britain, and

Next to the Germans stood Italy, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Turkey. After adding these younger brothers, the fleets of both sides reached a terrifying level. For example, if the Germans were anxious, they could build up a huge lineup of 12 aircraft carriers, and the three Allied Powers

It can also accumulate a force that is no less powerful than the former. However, China's currently active fleet only has 5 armored aircraft carriers and 2 medium aircraft carriers. Even if it has a quality advantage, the disadvantage in quantity of troops is a bit big!

In the future, the Allies and the Entente will definitely continue to expand their aircraft carrier fleets. According to Chinese intelligence, Germany alone will start construction of 5 to 7 aircraft carriers in the next three years. These aircraft carriers may not all be armored aircraft carriers like the Moltke class.

But we can still let the German aircraft carriers

The strength has increased by more than 50%, and as an important ally of the Germans, the Austro-Hungarian Empire will also start construction of 2 to 3 aircraft carriers in the next three years. In this way, if the Allies work hard, they may not be able to reach 20 aircraft carriers of various types.

scale. The Allied Powers, represented by the United States, were also not to be outdone.

The U.S. government has passed the first phase of its naval development plan for the next three years. Roosevelt said that the U.S. Navy will start construction of at least six more Essex-class aircraft carriers, which are even slightly larger than the Germans. Although the British are already in decline,

But the remaining power is still there, and he gritted his teeth and said that he would start construction of 2 to 3 aircraft carriers. In this way, the Allied Powers and the allies

The two major military groups of the allies had nearly 20 aircraft carriers of various types when the war started. If the war breaks out within three years, China will not be able to enter service with new aircraft carriers other than three cv02 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers.

In addition, there will be no new large aircraft carriers that can be put into service! This is intolerable to Yang Yonglin.

"Even if we only have 10 aircraft carriers when the war starts again, there will be no problem. The reason is very simple. China will not join the Allied Powers in fighting the Germans at the first time. The relationship between us and the Allied Powers is no longer what it was at the beginning.

So close, there is a certain gap between some requirements of the Allied Powers and our needs, and a war without sufficient benefits should not break out." Xu Jie said to Yang Yonglin again.

"I understand what you mean. Are you planning to join the battlefield when the Allied Powers and the Central Powers are both losing? Or are you waiting for the Allied Powers to offer a higher price? Your choice is very similar to the choice of the United States during the First World War.

I can understand your idea of ​​​​preparing to pick peaches, but if we go

It would be bad if they followed in the footsteps of the Americans. The Americans finally joined the war, but they joined the war too late. When the American soldiers set foot on European soil, the Germans had already established a solid advantage. We must prevent

This kind of thing happened to us." Yang Yonglin said seriously.

"To be honest, the Germans probably think the same way. They hope that when China participates in the war, they will have established a solid advantage and then force us to admit this result. But unfortunately, the situation has changed. Although the Allies

Stronger than before World War 1, but they will never get such an opportunity. The reason is very simple. First, this time we are on the side of the Allies. Second, the United States participated in the war from the beginning. Even if the Germans can initially occupy

Some

Advantage, even if they can kill France, they still cannot win the war. From a naval point of view, the Germans may be able to gain some advantages with fast fleets, but they themselves will definitely have to suffer certain losses. And once we enter the war

, the Germans have to fight on both sides, and they will be in a more difficult situation than the British Royal Navy during World War I, because the distance between the North Atlantic and the Indian Ocean is too far, and it is difficult for the High Seas Fleet to take care of both ends." Xu Jie didn't take it seriously.

said.

"From a tactical point of view, I think it is more beneficial for future wars for us to focus on building cv03 fleet aircraft carriers. When discussing this issue, we need to confirm two points. The first point is that we will participate in the war at least in 4

By 5 years later! We will have more time to prepare. And the second point is, if we can accumulate an elite enough force before entering the war,

As for the fleet, the quality advantage will make our loss rate significantly lower than that of our opponents. We can even start construction of warships such as cv03 or cv02 aircraft carriers with relatively long construction periods during the war to steadily increase our strength. For aircraft carriers,

For a precious strategic weapon, early accumulation is sometimes more important than mass production during wartime."

"Perhaps during war we will still need to supplement a large number of aircraft carriers that are easy to produce, but the core will still be the high-quality aircraft carriers we accumulated before the war and the armored aircraft carriers supplemented during the war. I am trying to establish a benign fleet strength growth system.

The cost of establishing this system is what you call the window period, but I think compared with the benefits that will be obtained, this window period is tolerable." Xu Jie patiently explained to Yang Yonglin.

In this dimension, China and the Allied Powers are fighting against allies that are similar in strength to their own. Germany's industrial production capacity is equally huge. It is no exaggeration to say that the Germans can explode aircraft carriers like the United States. If everyone produces similar products with the same homogeneity

Weapons, then the result can only be one game after another

It is a brutal war of attrition, and if you want to have better weapons than the opponent, you must pay the price of time. The extremely long construction period of aircraft carriers requires builders to be cautious, because this cannot be produced using an assembly line.

Everyone realizes that for expensive battleships like capital ships

It must be crafted carefully, and such behavior can only be completed before the war. Once the war begins, countries will inevitably produce some warships that are short-lived but easy to lose, and it is entirely possible that these warships will lose a lot in a naval battle.

.Thus creating an unfavorable situation in which the supply is less than the loss. And Xu

Jie's approach is to try to avoid this situation. Before the war, fully produce high-quality aircraft carriers to maintain a relatively stable fleet base, and then produce both high-quality aircraft carriers and mass-produced aircraft carriers during the battle to steadily improve the strength of the fleet. This is

The only way to avoid the battle turning into a vicious war of attrition!

In fact, other countries also have this idea, both historically and in this dimension. For example, in history, after the British completed six armored aircraft carriers of over 20,000 tons, they began to develop Eagle 2-class aircraft carriers, and the later unrealized Malta-class aircraft carriers.

aircraft carrier, while the Americans are producing Essex as the main force of the fleet, while using the Independence class

Light aircraft carriers are supplementing the number of fleets while slowly building Midway-class aircraft carriers. When there is spare capacity, major powers will make some preparations for the end of the war. The original intention of the Germans' new 40,000-ton aircraft carrier in this dimension is actually the same as

Same as Xu Jie. The only difference is that China's preparation time is longer. The technology is more advanced and the power is more powerful!

"But we cannot only produce fleet aircraft carriers. The escort, anti-submarine and ground support of the transport fleet require more carrier-based aircraft. Sometimes it is not economical to use fleet aircraft carriers to perform these tasks. We can't provide every transport

Should every fleet be equipped with a fleet aircraft carrier? And we also need a large number of fighter aircraft carriers. The light aircraft carriers produced by the Americans are a good idea. They use the hulls of light cruisers to modify the aircraft carriers, and then let them provide protection for the fleet." Yang Yonglin

said.

"This question, I actually want to say, since the Americans have already provided these cheap escort aircraft carriers and light aircraft carriers, why do we still need to build them? The Chinese fleet will either not participate in the war. Once it does, we must act as the entire Indian Ocean theater

leader of sea power,

Let the Americans and British build these light aircraft carriers. Of course, just in case, we can prepare some, but definitely not now. As for medium-sized mass-produced aircraft carriers, we can also prepare now. I think we have originally

The mass production aircraft carrier plan discussed should have been completed

It's ready. But don't produce it yet. Make all efforts to complete the future cv03 plan first." Xu Jie rarely rejected Yang Yonglin's suggestion. Now he just wants to complete the construction of the 40,000-ton aircraft carrier as soon as possible.

At least six ships, if there is still time, then 8

Ships! If China can have 8 30,000-ton aircraft carriers and 6 40,000-ton or above aircraft carriers when it participates in the war, then China will be enough to cope with any situation. Don’t forget, the strength of this aircraft carrier force is comparable to Leyte Gulf in history

In a naval battle, the US aircraft carrier formation must be powerful!

In fact, there are some words that Xu Jie hasn't said yet, that is, Xu Jie wishes that the Allied Powers and the Central Powers would fight harder. The worse the Allied Powers' navy fights, the more it will reflect the importance of China. Only then can China gain more power from the United States and Britain.

Benefits. After all, we are all allies now. It is hard to say whether we will be allies after the war. Historically, not long after the end of World War II, the West led by the United States and the Eastern European countries led by the Soviet Union started a Cold War. From this perspective

Let's see, it's a battle

At that time, China and Germany were still quasi-allies, but after World War I, China gradually moved closer to the Allies. After the end of World War II, it is difficult to say whether China will come together with Germany again. If China hopes that the British Empire will

If the colonial system completely collapses, then China still hopes that Germany can have some strength. After all, a powerful Germany surrounded by Britain, France and Russia will not pose a threat to China but can help China contain other European forces.

Studying strategy is like playing chess. If you take one step and look at it, you will be a mediocre player. If you take one step and look at three steps, you will be an expert. But the one who sees the end directly from the beginning is the real master. Before the second battle was over, China had already thought about it.

What should the future world situation be like?

State. This cannot be blamed for China's premature intrigues with the Americans, because during this period, the United States has begun to dig into China's corners, and the first shovel is aimed at Russia! We have just been with China in the Middle East with the Germans

Russia fought a war!

The performance of the Russian Army in this war can be described as wonderful. It is precisely because of their existence that they blocked the attack of the 5 divisions of the Austro-Hungarian Army and bought time for China to counterattack. The United States, Britain and other countries had to admit that if Russia

If people can get the same equipment and supplies as the United States and Britain, then their performance will be even better than that of the United States and Britain. "Russian soldiers are the best in the world."

Excellent grassroots soldiers, they regard death as their own, their courage is impeccable, they have a spirit of sacrifice that neither British or American soldiers have. "General Patton once said this about Russian soldiers. And officially because of this, the Russians have the value to be won over!

Not long after the war ended, the Americans began to have contact with the Russian government! And now it has reached the stage of high-level contact!
