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

Without sonar systems and anti-submarine capabilities, these warships at this time really do not pose much of a threat to submarines, and they often can only be beaten. Coupled with the bombardment of warships on the sea, and the attacks from above and below, who can stand it?

And because submarine attacks all come from under the sea, these submarines often sneak up on each other from underwater to launch a close-range sneak attack. At this distance, they are almost guaranteed to hit.

It was after seeing the role of submarines in battle that Ye Bai realized that he had underestimated it. The famous"Wolf Pack Tactics" was indeed well-known.

Even though the attack power of torpedoes is greatly limited due to the special combat rules of the great maritime world, it can be predicted that submarines will play a huge role in battle.

This is because the number of submarines in the fleet is currently very small. There are only 2 submarines, which are not large enough. If there are dozens of submarines, then the wolf pack tactic can be used. Even if it is restricted, it can still be used to its full potential. role.

With so many underwater wolves taking turns to attack, not to mention cruisers, even battleships may not be able to withstand them, and they can only drink their hatred.

The key is that the cost of submarines is not expensive. 8 million per unit is only one-third of the destroyer"Seven-Five-Three", and the staffing is even less. Even if it is sunk, it will not be too much. It's heartbreaking. Compared with the value they can create, this is simply extremely cost-effective.

Therefore, in the excitement, even though he knew that there were not too many raw materials currently in reserve, Ye Bai still issued an order to the shipyard again, and once again placed an additional production order for 8 Type VIIC submarines, preparing to form a fleet of 10 submarines. submarine detachment.

After all, submarines can actually play a limited role in large-scale naval battles. They mostly hide under the sea surface and carry out sneak attacks. Restricted by the combat rules of the great maritime world, one or two submarines cannot independently sink one or two warships. , only after it forms a scale can it play a greater role, otherwise it will be meaningless.

Of course, Ye Bai did not ask the shipyard to build all eight submarines immediately, but continued to build them separately in batches of two.

First, the manpower at the shipyard is limited. Most of the workers, engineers, and experts are concentrated on the light cruiser and the two destroyers. There are really not many manpower that can be spared.

Secondly, it’s still the same problem. There are not a lot of raw materials currently in reserve. After leaving enough materials to build a light cruiser and two destroyers, the remaining materials will not be able to build 8 Type VIIC submarines. It has to be done in batches.

It can be said that raw materials have now become a restrictive factor in the development of the Chinese fleet. He finally understands why the system will further lift restrictions on aboriginal forces after resource points appear in the world of navigation.

And each aboriginal force has issued the same task, which is to turn in resource points. Although the rewards given are different, they are not bad. This is the importance of strategic materials.

Ye Bai also had a vague understanding in his heart. He could probably understand why Lütjens and Ramsey were firmly opposed to participating in the battle for the resource point on Isin Island at this time.

The important strategic significance of that resource point is only one aspect. The value of the resource point itself is quite high, especially for a small island like Isin Island that does not have abundant supplies. Every resource point is of great significance. I won't give up easily unless I have to.

In the same way, although the real pirate forces mainly focus on robbery, they will not refuse if they can mine raw materials on their own. Anyway, they have a large number of looted civilians in their hands, who are the best mining workers.

Therefore, whether it is in a strategic or economic sense, that resource point is a must-win for both sides. In this case, the intensity of the battle between the two sides can be imagined.

If Ye Bai got involved in this, Isin Island would naturally want it, but for the pirate forces, it would be quite disgusting. Maybe the pirate forces could not defeat the Isin Island fleet in one go, but a complete pirate fleet If you really want to go all out, there is no problem in severely damaging the Chinese fleet.

Not to mention getting support and help from the Isinjima Fleet, it is just a transaction and the completion of a very valuable task. Even if there is a certain favorability reward, in the end the two parties are not allies.

Even if there is an alliance, they still have their own interests and demands, and sometimes they even plot against each other. What's more, the Chinese fleet and Isin Island are not allies yet. When that time comes, the other party may not necessarily help, and they will suffer. It must be Ye Bai.

At this time, the Isinjima fleet and the pirate force fleet are both complete, that is, they are in their peak state, and they are really not suitable for getting involved. If you want to enter, you must be able to occupy the dominant position.

It was also this sudden idea brought about by the resource points that made Ye Bai finally realize the error of his previous idea, and he was even more grateful that he still had talents like Lütjens and Ramsey under him. If it hadn't been for their dissuasion. , If you don't do it well, you will make a big mistake.

In fact, seriously speaking, the funds in Ye Bai's hands have reached as much as 150 million, and the price of recruiting a general-level officer is as high as 10 million, which he can completely afford.

However, he has never recruited a general-level officer, not because he is reluctant, but because such recruitment is too random. If he is lucky, it will be easy to directly recruit a famous general from the earth like Lütjens.

If you are unlucky and only recruit an ordinary general-level officer, it would be a bit pitiful. Such an officer cannot be compared with a famous general like Lütjens in terms of ability or development potential, and naturally he cannot be in the fleet. Hold a high position.

But it would be inappropriate to randomly assign positions to them. After all, they are also serious general-level officers. They cannot be insignificant in the fleet. This is a huge waste of talents.

If the scale of the Chinese fleet has been expanded to a certain extent, it doesn't matter. There are plenty of positions to accommodate them anyway, but now, it is simply impossible to do this. After all, the fleet has limited important positions.

Therefore, Ye Bai has never recruited general-level officers, but spent a lot of money to recruit school-level officers. However, the number of school-level officers recruited has exceeded double digits, but the only outstanding one is Ramsey. They are just ordinary civilian officers.

Ye Bai, who had always thought he was lucky, got cold feet under such circumstances and did not dare to recruit general-level officers..........

Fortunately, two Type VIIC submarines had just been built at this time, and the size of the submarine detachment had not yet been fully formed. There was no need to appoint a capable detachment commander, otherwise Ye Baike would really be blinded. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

It’s not that there are no suitable candidates. Not to mention Dönitz, who is known as the"Father of the Wolf Pack", one or two of those ace captains can also be there. They are competent, but it is not that easy to recruit them.

Although these problems need to be solved step by step, no one can get it right in one step, and the days have to go by day by day. Just when the second batch of two VIIC-type submarines were completed and joined the Chinese fleet's combat sequence, it was not far from Ye It has been five days since Bai left Ixin Island.

The originally planned 4-mile voyage was due to encounters with pirate fleets from time to time on the way. Although the battle was not long, it took a lot of time. They finally arrived at their destination on the fifth day, which was Island No. 038.

In the envious and shocked eyes of all the players, all the warships of the Chinese fleet docked at the port pier one by one.

This time, Ye Bai didn't worry about those Blue Star players. After sending a group of logistics officers to land on the island, they went to the trading market to sell grain and purchase various raw materials.

He himself also took Ramsay and others to the island and went to the government affairs hall. He was going to discuss the sale of the light cruiser with the aborigines of Island No. 038, just like the people on Isin Island.

Before entering the island No. 038, Ye Bai released the Linxian-class light cruiser from the small space in the logistics cabin, and transferred half of the crew from the Jiutai to be responsible for driving. They were not needed anyway. Fighting is just a matter of driving a warship to dock, and it can be done even if you don't have enough manpower.

As soon as Ye Bai and his people landed on the island, a large group of players who had been targeting them for a long time immediately swarmed over, but were firmly blocked out by the Marines acting as guards.

Even at 0.9, these players did not give up. They gathered outside and kept shouting, trying to attract Ye Bai's attention. As for the content of their words, they were nothing more than that.

Either he is the big brother who speaks up, the big brother who keeps quiet, or he is trying to win over him under the banner of a certain player organization. What's worse, some female players who think they have good figures and good looks want to seduce Ye Baizhen. It was an eye-opener.

It was under the blue sky and white sun, and all the warships of the Chinese fleet were flying the flag of country Z. These players who happened to be on the island No. 038 would not turn a blind eye, and naturally attracted great attention.

Ye Bai glanced at these players and found that these people seemed to be no different from the people on earth in the previous life. There were yellow, white and black people. If it hadn't been for more than a month of experience, Ye Bai would have really thought that he It's time to return to Earth.

The reason why Ye Bai personally landed on the island without any cover-up this time was because he wanted to conduct transactions with the aboriginal forces in person, especially the conversion of raw materials.

Secondly, it is also because in the small space of the logistics compartment, two Fletcher-class destroyers have been successfully completed and ready for service. The Benson-class destroyers in the fleet will gradually be phased out..
