There is no doubt that aircraft carriers 001 and 002 are super aircraft carriers ahead of their time!

Similarly, the J-2 and J-3 fighter jets are also among the most advanced jet aircraft in the world used in combat.

The cooperation of various weapons and equipment will make the gap between the armies of various countries in the world and China wider and wider.

The Fengtian has been launched and is undergoing testing and training before combat formation. The second Qilu will also be launched within half a month.

Having two aircraft carriers at the same time will bring the naval force's strike capabilities to a whole new level.

Although there are only two ships, the Chinese Navy already has the ability to compete with the Japanese Navy. The Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea fleets will move from offshore to ocean, taking on more important and critical combat missions.

Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui left the Fengtian in a good mood. Their next stop was the Bomber Design Institute to inspect the latest successfully developed long-range heavy bomber.

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, we have successfully developed the H-6A bomber based on the American B25 bomber." Huang Xuyong said to Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui:

"All aspects of the H-6a's data basically meet the requirements previously stated by the commander-in-chief. It is a true long-range bomber that can even perform some strategic missions."

"Tell me the specific data." Jiang Dong curiously circled the H-6a bomber, and from time to time he would reach out and touch the fuselage, very excited.

"The maximum flight speed of the H-6a is 600 kilometers per hour, the maximum range is 5,600 kilometers, and the combat radius is 2,500 kilometers to 2,900 kilometers."

Xie Chengrui asked:

"With such a huge fuselage, what is its bomb load?"

The H-6a has a wingspan of more than 40 meters, four high-horsepower engines, and five defensive turrets.

With a length of over 30 meters and a wingspan of over 40 meters, it is truly a big guy.

From the outside, it looks almost bigger than three J-2s.

"When performing low-altitude and short-distance bombing missions, it carries the largest amount of ammunition, which can reach an astonishing 9,000 kilograms!"

Huang Xuyong had a look of pride on his face that could not be concealed.

"In a conventional mission, the bomb load is between 7,500 kilograms and 8,500 kilograms!"

Jiang Dong stopped and looked at the huge fuselage of the H-6a more affectionately.

"The maximum bomb load exceeds nine tons. This is simply a flying fortress and will also reach an unprecedented height in the history of the world's bomber development."

"Hahaha... The United States also wants to trade their B25 and B17 with us for technologies in areas such as armed helicopters. Little do they know that we are already ahead of them in areas such as fighter bombers."

"Hahaha... Thank you for your hard work. Your efforts have made our army stronger and our diplomats more confident!"

Under the affectionate gazes of Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui, two H-6A bombers took off from the airport, and they were about to conduct a secret long-distance flight test.

"After reaching the corresponding test data and meeting the design requirements, the H-6a can be mass-produced, with a tentative target of 1,000 aircraft." Jiang Dong withdrew his gaze and said to Huang Xuyong.

"Okay!" Huang Xuyong nodded, "We conduct various tests in a scientific and rigorous manner, and at the same time, we will advance the mass production time as soon as possible!"

"Very good, very good!" Jiang Dong licked his lips and said:

"The development of jet bombers should also be put on the agenda. I guess you have accumulated a lot of experience."

It really doesn’t give anyone a breather.

Huang Xuyong sighed in his heart and accepted the task neatly.

After leaving the test airport, Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui were so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

"Lao Xie, have you felt the power of technology?" Jiang Dong said with clenched fists.

"Science and technology are the primary productive forces. The Commander-in-Chief will not deceive me! Haha..."

Both of them felt that the army would become stronger and stronger and the country would embark on a new path of prosperity.

………

August 18, Xiyuan Conference Room.

Jiangdong summoned the senior generals of the navy, army and air force to discuss the expansion and re-equipment of the army in the next few months.

The first thing to discuss is the formation of the aircraft carrier battle groups of the Bohai and Yellow Sea fleets.

"The plan submitted by your navy is too bloated!" Jiang Dong knocked on the document in front of him and said:

"Aircraft carriers, light and heavy cruisers, battleships, etc. are all brought together. I see that you have arranged all the warships you can think of into the aircraft carrier battle group."

"This is not possible. The establishment is too bloated and is not conducive to actual combat."

"Fengtian and Qilu are super aircraft carriers with a completely new meaning. We cannot treat these two super aircraft carriers with the operational thinking of ordinary aircraft carriers such as the United States and Japan."

Xu Tingyi humbly accepted Jiang Dong's criticism. He really didn't understand how to organize a super aircraft carrier battle group.

Jiangdong threw the document back to the navy, considered it and said:

"The operations of the Bohai and Yellow Sea fleets should be centered on two aircraft carriers, but in addition to the aircraft carrier battle group, other fleets must be formed."

"That is to say, we cannot arrange all the ships of the two fleets into the aircraft carrier battle group."

"First of all, the Yellow Sea and Bohai fleets should continue to use the two giant battleships Peking and Chongqing as flagships. Coordinate with other combat units and aircraft carrier battle groups to maximize combat capabilities."

"Secondly, in terms of specific organization, the aircraft carrier battle group should include various types of ships, but the number should not be too many. Three ships is an appropriate size."

"Cruisers, destroyers, frigates, submarines under the sea, comprehensive supply ships, etc. Attack and defense are equally important, and logistics and advancement are both indispensable!"

"Finally, the last thing is the issue of command and deployment. The powers and responsibilities of various types of ships and all levels must be clear."

"You can redo the aircraft carrier battle group formation plan according to the above three points and submit it to me for review in three days!"

Xu Tingyi stood up from his seat with a group of naval officers.

"yes!!!"

Jiang Dong pressed his hands.

Chief of Staff Xie Chengrui looked at the documents in his hand and said to the officers present:

"The officers and soldiers of the Bohai and Yellow Sea fleets have accumulated rich practical experience in many naval battles, which proves that the navy's strategy of cultivating and reserving talents while fighting is correct."

"The East China Sea Fleet will be formed soon, and the Navy must ensure that the new fleet can form combat effectiveness within two to three months."

The Air Force Commander and some senior Army generals began to frown.

Zhang Shengqing asked with a slight frown:

"Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Staff, after the Fengtian and Qilu are launched, will we continue to produce aircraft carriers?"

Before Jiang Dong and Xie Chengrui could answer, Xu Tingyi said first:

"We will definitely continue to build aircraft carriers. The East China Sea Fleet does not yet have an aircraft carrier. Besides, after the East China Sea, there will be the South China Sea..."

The generals of the army and air force were unhappy, and they all said:

"The cost of each of the Fengtian and Qilu is close to 500 million silver dollars. If the Navy continues to produce aircraft carriers, it will have to wipe out all the wealth we have not easily accumulated!"

"Yes, the Yankees can produce an aircraft carrier in a week. It seems that they can use it quite easily."

"All the money has been given to the Navy, what will happen to our tanks and aircraft? The three armed forces of the sea, army and air force are one family, and a bowl of water must be balanced!"

Xu Tingyi had to deal with the generals of the Air Force and Army by himself, and it gradually became difficult for him.

Wang Laohu slapped the table without knowing it, stood up and said loudly:

"Chief of Staff, the Army is your foundation. How can you give all military expenditures to the Navy?"

Xie Chengrui was a little angry.

Although he actually serves as the chief of staff of the three armed forces, he is still nominally the chief of staff of the army.

Jiang Dong glanced coldly, and Wang Laohu instantly became quiet and sat down honestly.

The others stopped chattering incessantly and all looked at Jiang Dong.

Although what Wang Laohu said just now was a bit rough, it really woke up Jiang Dong.

It’s time to establish a General Staff!
Chapter completed!
