Chapter 5016 Eisenhower, who gradually regained his fighting confidence
There was once a data on the post-world network that showed that the United States built a total of about 30 large fleet aircraft carriers, 11 light aircraft carriers, and more than 110 aircraft carriers, totaling about 160 aircraft carriers.
Before World War II, the backbone of the US aircraft carrier was the York City-class three York City-class, Enterprise, Bumbler, and another three light aircraft carriers and two Lexington-class modified aircraft carriers with limited combat power. After the four wars against Japan in 1942, the only main force in combat was the Legendary aircraft carrier Enterprise.
At the beginning of World War II, the U.S. Navy had about 300 ships of about 1.5 million tons. It included more than 10 battleships, 8 aircraft carriers, almost 20 heavy cruisers, 19 light cruisers, more than 160 destroyers, and more than 100 submarines.
Among them, the Pacific Fleet consists of 9 battleships, 3 aircraft carriers, 12 heavy cruisers, 9 light cruisers, more than 60 destroyers, and 12 submarines.
However, war is not just a competition of weapons and equipment, because to win a world war, it depends on the competition of comprehensive national strength between countries.
Therefore, for the United States, which is the world's number one economic power in terms of resource reserves and industrial production, it is not difficult to produce a large amount of weapons and equipment.
Therefore, when the United States participated in World War II, with its strong economic strength and industrial strength, the weapons and equipment produced by the United States immediately became the main supplier of arms to the Allied forces such as Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.
Moreover, the United States' participating troops can directly develop from 1943 to 1945 to more than 10 million people, and its military industry can also produce 40,000 aircraft, 20,000 tanks, and more than 30 million tons of steel per year.
The reason why it is so powerful is that during World War II, the modernization and automation level of the United States was higher than that of Europe and Japan, and the American production management was also the most advanced in the world at that time.
After Chen Yanlong was reborn from time to time and fought several battles with the US military, the number of recruiting soldiers and horses in order to fight against the German and Japanese troops has surged from 4 million to more than 8 million.
In addition, more than 15 million women participated in industrial production, so the United States has produced more than 1,000 medium-sized tanks and more than 5,000 light tanks in a hurry.
The heavy artillery it produces about 9,000 and more than 27,000 other medium-caliber artillery; there are about 26,000 (twin or four-engine) engine bombers, and fighter jets in the aircraft...
As for 35 aircraft carriers (including escort aircraft carriers), 25 battleships, 150 destroyers, more than 290 frigates, and more than 180 submarines.
The Essex-class aircraft carrier is the largest first-class aircraft carrier built by the U.S. Navy in history. Due to its outstanding performance in World War II, the sailors on the ship called it the navy's most warship.
In 1943, the Essex began to participate in the Pacific War, but because the world was built was relatively short, with the strong support of President Roosevelt in 1943, the US military passed the "Fleet Expansion Act" and the "Two Oceans Navy Navy Act", which barely provided the US Navy with 8 Essex-class aircraft carriers, five more than the original history.
However, due to the emergence of Chen Yanlong and the introduction of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, President Roosevelt had issued a death order. No matter what the price he had to pay, he must produce at least 15 Essex-class aircraft carriers before March 1944, while the total number of Essex-class aircraft carriers approved by Roosevelt was 50.
This number is also higher than the original Essex-class aircraft carriers. In addition, the standard number of these aircraft carriers can carry at least more than 3,000 people per 4 ships, including more than 300 officers and 3,000 soldiers.
However, the aviation brigade of the Essex-class aircraft carrier produced by the US military is still composed of the following squadrons: 2 fighter squadrons (36), 1 reconnaissance bomber squadron (18); 1 dive bomber squadron (18), 1 torpedo bomber squadron (18), and 1 dive bomber for liaison missions, a total of 91 aircraft; there are 9 backup (3 fighters, dive bombers and torpedo aircraft each).
The names of these Essex-class aircraft carriers are the Essex, the Wasp, the Chissazhi, the Chamberlain Lake, the Munington, the York City, the Randolph and the Bumblebee.
As for the Oriskani, the Franklin and the Bunker Hill are in production and have not been completed yet.
When Rommel led his troops to North Africa on the air force dispatched by Chen Yanlong, from battleships to being able to cross the sea alone, more than 1,000 ships were forming in Algiers in a large group.
Eisenhower was also wearing a straight military uniform, staring nervously at the fleets in front of him that gathered the 12 allies including the United States, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, France, Belgium, Norway, Poland, Greece, and the Netherlands, approaching the port.
"This is all the naval fleets that President Roosevelt can now dispatch me to fight against the German army! Look at their huge number, they are definitely no fewer than those in the Battle of Sicily!"
"It seems that this time we still have the opportunity to fight against Hitler's German army, and it is possible to open up the second battlefield in Europe again!"
As more and more ships landed, Eisenhower, who had not been sleeping well for more than a week, was in a low spirit. Finally, he showed a long-lost smile and gradually regained his confidence in fighting.
