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

Recruiting so many scientists at once would certainly cost a lot of money, but the continuous box-opening rewards had brought the total amount of funds in Ye Bai's hands to as much as 90 million. Paying this 10 million was completely within the acceptable range.

With so much money in hand, Ye Bai couldn't help but have the urge to buy. According to the price in the system mall, a destroyer costs 20 million, a light cruiser costs 80 million, and a heavy cruiser costs 80 million. At 160 million yuan, as for the more powerful battlecruiser, the price has soared to more than 300 million yuan.

(PS: Some book friends raised a question, that is, the rules of this world are special and different from reality, so the prices of battleships have been readjusted. Please don’t blame me, book friends) After seeing this price, Ye Bai directly closed the system mall. , This is really too expensive. The little money he has is only enough to buy a few destroyers or a light cruiser. Heavy cruisers and battlecruisers are far from enough.

The most important thing is that all the warships sold in the system mall are basic version of the warships with limited performance. If he can get it for free, Ye Bai will not mind using it, but if he has to buy it with real money, he can do it. Can't bear to leave.

After the repairs of the two captured pirate warships are completed, they will join the fleet battle order, replenish personnel, and the aircraft factory will manufacture new carrier-based aircraft, but all of them will require a large investment. Ye Bai can't just mess around with what he has in hand. All the money was spent.

With a huge amount of 80 million in his hands, Ye Bai originally thought he was a rich man, but in the end he was still poor. This also made him deeply understand why the Navy has always been said to be a gold-eating beast.

Before nightfall, the reconnaissance planes that were flown out to survey the surrounding sea areas returned one after another and landed on the Yanhuang. With the efforts of many civilians, pirate prisoners, and civilians from the small space of the logistics cabin, the entire resource point had been completely destroyed. After being looted, only a mess was left.

It wasn't until the sky turned completely dark that Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily put aside his worries about the pirate power. He asked Lütjens to arrange the night guard duty, especially the radar soldiers, who must be on duty at all times.

This is not because Ye Bai is timid, nor is it because he is a warrior, but he is indeed facing the threat of pirate forces.

With Luo Mingxuan, a former pirate leader who took the initiative to join him, Ye Bai already had a basic understanding of the pirate force he belonged to. However, it was precisely because of this knowledge that he became extra vigilant.

The pirate force's lair where Luo Mingxuan is located is located on a small island about 300 kilometers southeast of this resource point. According to Luo Mingxuan's description, the area of ​​this small island is the same as that occupied by the aboriginal forces that Ye Bai has seen before. Small islands are about the same.

It's just that as a pirate force, there are naturally not as many civilians on the island as there are on the aboriginal islands. There are only basic agricultural systems and part of the industrial system, and most of them serve the military. Apart from these, the rest are some The service industry of eating, drinking and having fun.

Moreover, the lives of these civilians in the pirate lair are not as nourishing as those of the civilians on the aboriginal islands. They are more like slaves than civilians. They have no wages and no property of the dead. They are just responsible for food, shelter, and housing. Not to mention, I can’t even guarantee enough food.

Perhaps the ones with better living conditions are those women among the common people. At least they have no worries about food and housing. But everyone who understands knows that pirates have never been good men and women, and they have given these women better treatment than other civilians. What needs to be paid is much more, not only the body, but also dignity.

When he suddenly heard about the existence of this island with pirate power, Ye Bai was filled with indignation. It was not about the Holy Mother, nor about saving the civilians on the island, but he was still thinking about what happened after the pirate base he destroyed before. The system rewards obtained will never be forgotten.

That micro-pirate base is not even a real pirate force, but it can get so many benefits. Now we encounter an island occupied by a real pirate force. If we capture this island, how many system rewards can we get? Ye Bai Just thinking about it makes me drool.

If he hadn't been transporting supplies from the resource point at that time, I'm afraid Ye Bai would have been unable to help but order the fleet to attack the pirate island on the spot.

However, Ye Bai went crazy, and Luo Mingxuan, who knew the strength of pirates, would not go crazy with him. He finally broke away from the pirate camp and found a wise master. He didn't want to die before he left the army, so he ignored the fact that he had just joined the Chinese fleet and was being ignored. , repeatedly spoke out to dissuade.

After listening to Luo Mingxuan's persuasion, Ye Bai immediately gave up the idea. He couldn't help but feel scared and kept saying:"Impulse is the devil, impulse is the devil."."

The reason why they are so afraid is naturally because the strength of the pirate force is too powerful, far surpassing the Chinese fleet under Ye Bai's command.

According to Luo Mingxuan, although this pirate force is not as developed as the aboriginal islands in many aspects, its military strength is very strong, with a huge fleet of more than 200 warships.

Although most of this fleet are small battleships such as destroyers and light cruisers, there are more than 20 secondary main battleships such as heavy cruisers and battlecruisers, and there are even five battleships.

If it was just like this, Ye Bai would not give up easily. Anyway, the Yanhuang was an escort aircraft carrier and used long-range bombing by a fleet of carrier-based aircraft. It did not engage in a head-on artillery battle with these guys. No matter how many pirate warships there were, it would not matter.

The worst thing is to spend a few more days and launch rounds of aerial bombings, just like the kite flying tactics in those games when we were on earth, slowly wearing down these pirates.

The more than 400 carrier-based aircraft equipped on the Yanhuang and the more than 80 million in funds Ye Bai held in his hands were his confidence. As long as he needed it, he could purchase hundreds of carrier-based aircraft from the system mall at any time. Such a huge Attacking the fleet, he didn't believe he couldn't defeat these pirates.

It's just a pity that in this great maritime world, giant ships, cannons and aircraft carriers go hand in hand. It can be said that both hands must be grasped, and both hands are very strong.

Regardless of whether they are aboriginal forces or pirate forces, they usually do not favor any one aspect. Among their fleets, there are not only battleships with thick armor and powerful firepower, but also serious aircraft carriers.

The same is true for this pirate fleet of more than 200 ships. In addition to the battleships and battlecruisers, there are also 4 aircraft carriers. These are serious regular aircraft carriers, not just make-up escorts.

This can be regarded as a huge difference between the real pirate forces and those pirate forces randomly refreshed by the system. The real pirate forces do not have escort aircraft carriers, they are all real aircraft carriers.

On the contrary, among the pirate forces that were randomly refreshed by the system, all they owned were escort aircraft carriers, and there were no regular aircraft carriers.

In the entire great maritime world, only those fleets in the hands of aboriginal forces can see the coexistence of regular aircraft carriers and escort aircraft carriers. This involves an issue of maritime trade.

It is necessary to escort the transport fleet under his command. It is undoubtedly more cost-effective to dispatch escort aircraft carriers than regular aircraft carriers. Therefore, almost all aboriginal fleets have escort aircraft carriers.

4 A regular aircraft carrier, even a light aircraft carrier, can be equipped with close to 400 carrier-based aircraft, which is similar to the number of carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang.

How can such a fully equipped fleet be defeated by the Yanhuang alone? Not to mention the air defense firepower network that such a huge fleet can form. Just to break through the air defense firepower, I am afraid that the dispatched carrier-based aircraft group will be The losses were heavy.

Furthermore, as the home of pirate forces, some military facilities on this small island are relatively complete, including radar stations, air defense positions, shore artillery positions, and military airports.

As a ground radar station, its effective detection range exceeds that of ship-based radar, and its air search range must exceed 100 kilometers. If Ye Bai launches an attack, the opponent's fleet will be ready for battle immediately.

Carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers and fighter jets taking off from land-based airports (ground airports are also equipped with carrier-based aircraft, and there are no land-based fighters in the entire maritime world) can completely intercept all attacking aircraft groups. But it really means stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

After understanding the true strength of this (good Zhao) pirate force, Ye Bai completely gave up the idea of ​​attacking the pirate island. Even the reconnaissance aircraft units sent out to conduct reconnaissance in the surrounding waters bypassed that direction out of fear. Detected by the radar station on the pirate island.

The commander of this fleet responsible for protecting resource points was Luo Mingxuan. However, because of his small thoughts, he did not ask for help from the pirate island after being attacked. After he completely confirmed the identity of the Chinese fleet, he even concealed it. Got this news.

This is why so far, no resource point has been found to have been attacked on the pirate island, and the escort fleet has been wiped out. Otherwise, a fleet would have been sent to support it.

It's just that Luo Mingxuan can't guarantee how long he can keep this kind of thing a secret. Maybe the pirate island will suddenly send a fleet over at some time, or he may become alert due to a long period of lost contact. Everything is possible.

If it weren't for the fact that he was reluctant to part with the equipment at the resource point and the ore that had been mined, Ye Bai would have ordered the fleet to evacuate and fled.

But now that the sky is dark, Ye Bai doesn't need to worry too much. The carrier-based aircraft can only take off for reconnaissance at night. If a fleet is sent here, it will not be able to escape the radar system on the Yanhuang with an effective detection range of 50 kilometers. , if the situation turns bad, the fleet can immediately pull anchor and set sail, quickly transferring..
