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

He is not planning to incorporate this light cruiser into the fleet's order of battle. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will immediately choose to sell it in exchange for funds or raw materials to build a Brooks-class light cruiser.

As for Luo Mingxuan, Ye Bai was not originally prepared to appoint him as the captain of the heavy cruiser. Although there was a loyalty level in the system panel, after all, this guy also surrendered from a pirate, and there were some stains on his composition.

However, now that there are two heavy cruisers in the fleet, Ye Bai's thoughts have changed. Lin Yongsheng is the commander of the light cruiser formation that Ye Bai prepared, and there is no need to adjust for the time being.

Lin Lvzhong had been following him for the longest time. This time he was promoted to captain of a heavy cruiser. There was still one heavy cruiser left without a suitable captain.

Rather than randomly recruiting a school-level officer from the system, it is better to appoint Luo Mingxuan directly. Anyway, this guy is also a naval lieutenant colonel recognized by the system. He has also served as the captain of an important cruiser in the pirate fleet. For this new The Orleans-class heavy cruiser is quite familiar.

Although because of his previous status and the short time he joined the Chinese fleet, he was rashly promoted to a high position. The original officers in the fleet might have some complaints, but Ye Bai could not take this into consideration at this time.

Now when he appoints officers, he basically refers to them based on their military rank and reputation. Anyway, the loyalty data provided by the system shows that he is not worried about the betrayal of officers. 24 In the small space of the logistics cabin, the two heavy cruisers were fully staffed. The more than 200 pirates that Luo Mingxuan recruited from the captured pirates were also scattered and placed on each battleship. They were not released. On the same battleship.

With complete personnel, the two warships were naturally teleported to the outside sea through the transmission platform and joined the formation sailing queue. There was plenty of time for them to get used to the warships and become familiar with them.

According to the naming rules prepared by Ye Bai at the beginning, light cruisers were named after municipal-level cities. In this great maritime world, the classification of battleship levels must be stricter, which made Ye Bai's original naming rules somewhat inappropriate.

However, as a naming fee, Ye Bai did not want to consume too many brain cells, so he simply named all cruisers after municipal cities, which was simple and convenient.

Therefore, the heavy cruiser commanded by Lin Lvzhong inherited the previous Dongyang, while the heavy cruiser commanded by Luo Mingxuan was named Wusu and officially joined the Chinese fleet's combat sequence.

Standing in the bridge, looking at the busy people, Ye Bai felt awkward for a while, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't find out what was wrong. He wandered around the bridge several times until he saw the huge radar display. When I looked at the screen, I finally understood what was wrong.

In fact, it's not awkward at all, it's just that after the radar system was upgraded to level 6 standards, not only the radar display screen became larger, but there were also a few more operating consoles, and the overall area expanded a lot. This time It occupies a lot of space on the entire bridge.

As the command structure of the Yanhuang, the area of ​​the bridge command cabin is actually not too small. It is absolutely sufficient under normal circumstances. However, the radar system was upgraded too quickly, which compressed the space of the bridge command cabin and made it small. Many, which is why Ye Bai feels that the current bridge is a bit awkward.

The Yanhuang itself is an escort aircraft carrier. The area of ​​the bridge command cabin is smaller than that of a regular aircraft carrier. In addition, as the flagship of the Chinese fleet, the Yanhuang also assumes the command responsibility of the entire fleet. The officers and personnel inside Beyond ordinary battleships.

There are more than 400 carrier-based aircraft on the Yanhuang. The aviation command department under Ramsey alone is overstaffed. This would be strange if it were not cramped and crowded.

Ye Bai shook his head helplessly. Ye Bai was really at a loss on this point. This was a flaw of the escort carrier itself. So what could he do, although he still held two space crystals in his hands.

He could have used one to transform the bridge, but as soon as the idea emerged, he was killed. The space crystal was indeed magical, but the problem was that it was too powerful, and the transformed space area was quite large. Yes, there is no need for such a large space in a bridge command cabin. Using space crystals to transform it is a complete waste of resources.

Ye Bai felt a little headache. With the fleet's current development speed, the number of personnel in the bridge command module might continue to increase. Even if the Yanhuang was successfully upgraded to a light aircraft carrier, there might be insufficient space.

After all, it is also the core of the command of the entire fleet. It cannot be too shabby and needs to be thought of.

What gave Ye Bai a headache was not just the small area of ​​the bridge command cabin. When he was conducting transactions on Yixin Island, he had already discovered that the fleet also lacked many auxiliary ships.

For example, transport ships and supply ships, although there is a small space in the logistics cabin, there is no need for transport ships and supply ships at all, but Ye Bai has already realized the problem.

As the shipyards in the small space of the logistics cabin begin to build warships and the arms trade develops, Ye Bai's transactions with the indigenous forces on the islands will gradually become more frequent.

In particular, there are a lot of raw materials that need to be purchased from the trading markets of various islands. In order not to expose the existence of the small space in the logistics cabin, when transporting these materials, it is necessary to make a disguise. This time, it was a trade in Isin Island. There are not a lot of raw materials, and the Yanhuang has such a large hangar.

What's more, from the beginning to the end, Ye Bai did not let anyone from Yixin Island board the Yanhuang. Otherwise, the secrets inside the Yanhuang would have been exposed long ago, which would have only exhausted the fleet personnel.

This time I escaped by luck, but what should I do next time, or the amount of the transaction between the two parties is huge? We can't still use the Yanhuang number as a shield. It's hard to say whether it will work or not, at least we will waste more money. time.

It would be different if there was a transport ship. The aborigines could directly send the supplies to the transport ship. With the help of the mechanical equipment at the dock, a lot of time would be saved.

After the fleet leaves the island and enters the vast sea, the transport platform can be used to transport the transport ship into the small space of the logistics cabin. There are so many non-combatants in the small space, and the materials on the transport ship can be quickly sent to the warehouse. among.

Not only is this method convenient and fast, the key is that it is secretive enough so that the small space on the Yanhuang will not be exposed to risk.

The same is true for supply ships. Now that the Chinese fleet is not large, all warships can be teleported into a small space to complete supplies.

But what if the fleet size expands in the future?

Or are there other warships on the sea?

You can't teleport warships in need of supplies into the small space of the logistics cabin in front of other players or forces. What's more, if a squadron is established in the future, you have to consider logistical supply matters.

Regarding these issues, Lütjens, Ramsey and others did not mention it. It is not that they have not discovered it, but that their identities are soldiers. They are more concerned about the combat effectiveness of the fleet and how to win the battle. I won’t pay too much attention to logistics.

Under normal circumstances, they would focus on the fleet's logistics supply issues, but with the small space in the logistics cabin, they would no longer have any worries. They would focus on the military and subconsciously ignore this issue. Otherwise, I had already mentioned it to Ye Bai.

However, although Ye Bai was a little bit behind-the-scenes, fortunately, no major problems have arisen yet, and the magic of Yanhuang has not been exposed, but he will need to pay attention to it in the future.

There is no need to worry about the supply ship for the time being, but the problem of the transport ship is somewhat urgent. Unless the transaction on the 038 island does not go smoothly this time, at least one transport ship must be added to the fleet.

Ye Bai will not consider the performance for the time being. Anyway, it is just used to deceive others. Once it leaves the radar detection range of the indigenous forces, it can be immediately put into the small space of the logistics cabin. The problem of slow speed is still there. not so important.

Even Ye Bai has already thought of the target, which is the free wheel with the shortest construction time. It has a dead weight of more than 7,000 tons, can load up to 9,000 tons of cargo, and has a transportation capacity of more than 5,000 tons, which can fully meet Ye Bai's needs.

The only flaw is that the speed is too high. The speed is only 11 knots, which cannot keep up with the speed of the Chinese fleet. We can only see whether the scientific research center and the shipyard can modify and improve the power system of the free wheel. one time.

This kind of free wheel is sold in the system mall, and the price is not expensive. The price of 8 million is really nothing to Ye Bai, a wealthy man who currently has one and a half small goals.

However, it is a pity that Ye Bai does not have the construction drawings of the freewheel in his hands. If the scientific research center and shipyard want to modify its power system, they are somewhat powerless.

Ye Bai put this issue aside for the time being. These things were just for a rainy day. He planned to wait until he arrived at Island No. 038 to contact the other party and see the situation.

Selling light cruisers to these small aboriginal forces is just one of Ye Bai's current ideas. Ye Bai himself does not have much confidence in rashly conducting such an arms deal without any basis for cooperation.

What's more, even if the deal is concluded, those small indigenous forces may not choose to use raw materials to offset the transaction funds like Ixin Island. If this is a cash transaction, there is no need for any transport ships at all. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The voyage from Yixin Island to Island No. 038 reaches about 2,000 kilometers. At the current speed of the Chinese fleet of about 30 knots, it takes 10 hours of sailing every day. Around 4.

But in fact, it can't be so smooth at all. Along the way, there is a high possibility of encountering a pirate fleet or an alien player warship..
