All-people naval warfare: from patrol boats to aircraft carrier fleets

After reading the relevant attributes of the Changning, Ye Bai went directly to the battleship modification interface. According to the configuration recommended by the system, all subsystems of the Changning were fully configured. Except for the lack of a radar system, everything else was fully equipped.

It can be said that as long as the Changning is fully manned, it will immediately exert nearly 100% of its combat effectiveness, which is more powerful than the Pengze and Yujiang.

Let Lütjens give the order to the Pengze to return home. Ye Bai has already decided that such a powerful Changning must be equipped with the best officer and crew system. He might as well send all the crew members on the Pengze Transferred to the Changning, the captain and crew needed by the Pengze can only be recruited again.

After receiving the order, the Pengze returned quickly and docked next to the Changning. Under the command of Liang Zifang, the crew members boarded the Changning in an orderly manner in lifeboats, and then gave the Changning's traffic boats to the ship. ~ Used it.

This small boat is operated by three people. It is 7.92 meters long, 2.24 wide, and has a displacement of 4.01 tons. It is equipped with a naval 25-horsepower four-stroke diesel engine, single-shaft propulsion, a maximum speed of 7 knots, a fuel load of 28 gallons, and a endurance of 110 nautical miles. -Can carry 25 crew members.

The two traffic boats can transport 50 crew members at one time. The 300 crew members on the Pengze only need 6 round trips to complete the transportation.

Naturally, Liang Zifang took over the affairs of the Changning. Ye Bai didn't need to worry about it. He took the lifeboat and boarded the Pengze directly. He ignored the crew members who were waiting in line for the lifeboats and traffic boats to arrive. On the wide front deck, he started from the system. Among them, a lieutenant captain, 10 lieutenant-level officers, and more than 300 crew members of various positions were recruited.

This is not the first time to recruit crew members for a destroyer. Ye Bai, who is now more familiar with the personnel configuration of a destroyer, no longer needs Lütjens to draw up a personnel list. He directly follows the previous configuration and soon recruits Peng Ze. The crew on board is fully equipped.

After dealing with the affairs of the Changning and Pengze, Ye Bai returned to the Yanhuang. The reason why he prioritized the affairs of these two destroyers was because Ye Bai had limited funds in his hands, only more than 15 million, and these funds would definitely not be enough. All used on the Yanhuang number.

He must first resolve the matter of the destroyer, and then use the remaining funds in his hand to improve the various systems of the Yanhuang. After all, after using the space crystal to transform the hangar, the number of carrier-based aircraft that can be accommodated in it is no longer There are only 28, but it is possible to accommodate thousands of them.

In order to equip so many carrier-based aircraft, naturally a lot of money is needed. Ye Bai is worried that he will be tempted and spend most of the funds on carrier-based aircraft, and then there will be no money to equip the Changning. The system and recruiting crew members are really embarrassing.

Now that the Changning's transformation has been completed, the rest is the Yanhuang's turn. The first thing to do is naturally the Yanhuang's power system. Needless to say, according to the system's recommended plan, all new power equipment will be fully configured. Let Yanhuang's speed increase to the highest level of 18 knots.

After improving the power system, it is now the crew's turn. According to the system recommendation, the escort carrier's personnel establishment is as high as 900, but this establishment includes the aircraft carrier's ground crew, mechanics, pilots, etc. The battleship itself We don't need so many people.

Ye Bai was busy just now, and Lütjens was not idle either. According to Ye Bai's instructions, he put aside those who served the carrier-based aircraft and sorted out the organization plan for other crew members who needed to be supplemented. Ye Bai came back At that time, it happened to recruit crew members according to this establishment.

With this establishment, Ye Bai recruited the crew members who needed to be supplemented one by one without any ambiguity, and asked Lütjens to pay attention to the handover issue between the Changning and Pengze. The fleet would not know how to do it yet. Set off and be alert.

After that, Ye Bai left the bridge and went down to the hangar below the flight deck. Although it was an escort aircraft carrier and the capacity of carrier-based aircraft was quite limited, there were still hangars that should be there, but the area was relatively small and there were no The official aircraft carrier is almost two-thirds of the length of the ship.

However, the size of the hangar was not too important. Ye Bai stood in the now empty hangar, took out a space crystal from his pocket, and pressed it directly on the floor of the hangar.

Just like when the small space of the logistics cabin was transformed for the first time, a familiar blue light shrouded the entire hangar. The dazzling blue light made Ye Bai subconsciously close his eyes and did not dare to open them.

I don't know how long it took, but Ye Bai felt that the light from the outside world had weakened, and he slowly opened his eyes. Only then did he realize that the original hangar had completely changed, becoming much longer and wider. Look, even Ye Bai, who doesn't have a strong sense of space, feels that the hangar is at least dozens of times larger than before.

Such a large space can not only divide more parking areas and accommodate more carrier-based aircraft, but also separate fuel tanks, ammunition compartments, maintenance compartments, aviation spare parts warehouses, etc., making escort navigation completely comparable to or even surpassing heavy aircraft carriers Ability.

There is a hangar, and there are no problems with carrier-based aircraft. They are sold in the system mall. Although the price is not cheap, Ye Bai can still afford it. But what really worries Ye Bai is that there is currently a shortage of Yanhuang ships in Shanghai. An officer who specializes in commanding aircraft carrier operations.

Lütjens is indeed very capable, but after all, he is better at commanding naval artillery battles. He is not very familiar with aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, so he needs someone to help him.

Taking a look at his current fund balance, after the previous large-scale recruitment of crew members and the improvement of subsystems, there were now only about 13 million left. Ye Bai simply gritted his teeth and stamped his feet and directly spent 1 million to recruit from the system. A school-level carrier-based aircraft commander

【DeWitt C. Ramsey: Navy captain, former pilot, aircraft carrier-based aircraft commander with very good administrative abilities. ]

As the recruitment ended, a 40-year-old officer wearing a navy uniform with the rank of colonel on his shoulders appeared in front of Ye Bai. Especially after seeing the simple evaluation given by the system, Bai Shang was Flowers bloomed.

Although I don't have much impression of this person in my mind, I think the systematic evaluation will not be wrong. A professional aircraft carrier aircraft commander just meets his needs. The most important thing is that this person also has good administrative abilities.

This seems very valuable. After all, the hangar transformed by the space crystal is still empty. Professionals are still needed to further divide and transform this space. Ramsay came at the right time.

"Colonel Ramsey, I officially appoint you as the aviation staff officer of the Yanhuang. You are fully responsible for the management of this hangar and all carrier-based aircraft. If you have any requests, you can make them and I will do my best to satisfy you."

Ye Bai appointed Ramsay as the aviation staff officer without any hesitation. The reason why he was not directly appointed as the fleet staff officer was because there was no need for it. Just like Lütjens, his official position was the captain of the Yanhuang. , but in fact he was responsible for the combat command of the entire fleet during wartime.

Although Ramsey was a naval colonel and was good at commanding aircraft carrier operations, in the final analysis he was just a colonel. He was not qualified to be the staff officer of the entire Chinese fleet. , in Ye Bai's heart, the real masters of aircraft carrier command are actually Nimitz, Spruance and others. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Yes, Commander."

For Ye Bai's trust, Ramsay stood at attention and saluted, looking a little excited. But after he looked around the empty hangar, his face instantly fell.

"Commander, I need help. This hangar is too big for me to manage by myself. I need at least 10 officers, as well as enough engineers and soldiers to form various branches."

Now that he has accepted the appointment, Ramsay did not hesitate and directly made the request, which required a large number of personnel to assist.

Ye Bai breathed a sigh of relief. Ramsay's request seemed normal to him. Today's Yanhuang number is Almost everything on an escort aircraft carrier is to serve carrier-based aircraft. It naturally requires a large number of branch departments to coordinate, and it is natural to need more officers. He nodded, and simply spent another 3 million, from the system Recruiting 20 lieutenant-level officers and a large number of engineers and ground crews, the originally empty hangar was instantly filled with dense figures. Seeing his commander so impressive, the look on Ramsay's face improved a lot, and Xiang Ye Bai saluted, turned around and called the 20 officers over, and then began to set up branch departments one by one.

According to Ramsay's order, these officers quickly picked up from the engineers, mechanics, and ground crew behind them. Appropriate candidates were selected and put into work. The first step was to divide the empty hangar into different areas.

Although Ye Bai was currently unable to modify the structure of the ship, this hangar was a space he could use. Transformed from spar, the internal space allows him to modify it at will without any impact on the Yanhuang's hull structure.

Looking at more than 2,000 busy officers and soldiers, Ye Bai actually felt a little anxious. He quickly called Ramsey over and asked:"Colonel Ramsey, according to your transformation plan, how long will it take to complete the transformation of the hangar and put it into use?"

Hearing Ye Bai's question, Ramsay frowned, made some calculations, and then replied:"Commander, the area of ​​​​this hangar is too large. Although there are so many soldiers to help, it is difficult to completely transform it. It will take at least 3 days to complete."

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat anxious tone:"Colonel Ramsey, three days is too long. You only have one night at most. At dawn tomorrow, I need this hangar to be able to move the ship. Take off fighter planes, I need them to fight for me"
