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

However, the blockade will definitely not be effective in a day or two. It will take a long time to boil the frog in warm water and slowly weaken the fleet strength of Island No. 308.

And this just gave Ye Bai and the Chinese fleet the opportunity to continue to increase their strength. Anyway, with the existence of a small space in the logistics cabin, there are nearly 60 raw material resource points, which can continuously mine various raw materials.

The scientific and technological level mastered by the scientific research center has been upgraded several times, and it has the foundation of the previous exchange with Island No. 308. Today's small space industrial system is quite complete, not to mention surpassing the current technological level of the great navigation world. , at least it has reached the lowest level and can be self-sufficient.

What makes Ye Bai dissatisfied is that today's small space does not have the ability to build a full range of warships. Although it has been able to produce two main warships, the Lion-class battlecruiser and the Brave-class light aircraft carrier, it still cannot build it on its own. Any battleship.

This time, the First Squadron still sank 3 battleships and severely damaged many battleships during a night sneak attack. In the final analysis, the two battleships in the Yuntong Island fleet were too powerful, even though they were only in a semi-disabled state. , still performed quite bravely.

After the First Squadron merged with the main fleet, Langsdorff, as the actual commander of this naval battle, came to the command tower in person and gave a detailed report to Ye Bai, Nimitz and others on the specific details of the night attack.

After listening to Langsdorff's detailed report, Ye Bai discovered that he had made an empirical error. On Earth, battleships had long lost their status as maritime hegemons, been replaced by aircraft carriers, and even eliminated from the order of battle..

This also made Ye Bai focus on the development of aircraft carriers in the world of navigation. He did not pay too much attention to battlecruisers and even battleships. He basically prepared them as sword-carrying escorts for aircraft carriers.

But he just missed one thing. The special rules of engagement in the world of navigation are completely different from those in the real world. Aircraft carriers are still extremely powerful, and their long-range attack power is superior to all warships.

But battleships still play a very important role. This night attack fully illustrates this point. Even the battlecruisers, which were also eliminated by the history of the earth, have gained a second life and become an important part of naval battles. A well-deserved main battleship.

This battle made Ye Bai truly realize that unless the technological level of small space is greatly improved and jet carrier-based aircraft and anti-ship missiles are developed, even if they are equipped with airborne radar, the carrier-based aircraft will be capable of night combat. It is impossible to conquer the world just by relying on aircraft carriers. Battleships and battlecruisers still have powerful combat effectiveness and combat effects.

This also means that the thinking of building the Chinese fleet also needs to be changed. Not only aircraft carriers are indispensable, but battlecruisers and battleships are also indispensable, and even super battleships also need equipment.

However, to achieve such a goal, it is not that simple. In addition to the technological level of a small space, it is also necessary to master the construction technology of battleships. This is what currently stumps Ye Bai.

In this night attack, although the First Squadron was beaten a bit badly, the result was good. All Yuntong Island battleships were sunk. However, most of them were in a semi-disabled state, so they fell into the treasure chest. The rewards are not generous.

On the contrary, the two Brave-class light aircraft carriers and the three Borg-class escort aircraft carriers were not even damaged in the previous naval battle. They were independently sunk by the First Squadron. The system rewards in the dropped treasure chests can be No shrinkage.

But, after opening the 5 dropped treasure chests, although the harvest was not small, there were no battleship construction drawings inside, which meant that the shipyard in the small space still did not master the battleship construction technology.

Nimitz, Lütjens, and Langsdorff gathered around the chart table and were reviewing the previous night attack. This was also after obtaining the complete navigation map of the Great Navigation World. , new features discovered.

That is, this nautical map can actually function as a strategic sandbox, allowing officers to carry out strategic deductions and battle reviews through the nautical map. This function may seem inconspicuous, but for these outstanding naval generals, it is quite important. important.

It's just that Ye Bai really didn't dare to be interested. He was a layman about naval battles. Although he had studied for a long time, he still had a little understanding of it. After just watching it for a short while, he felt dizzy and confused, so he simply gave it to him. give up.

Anyway, he has professionals like Nimitz, Lütjens, and Langsdorf under his command. If a naval battle breaks out, he will probably not be required to personally take command. He only needs to command these naval generals.

He picked up the phone on his desk and called Zhou Guolai. Soon, Heydrich came in a hurry. Although he was wearing the uniform of a naval colonel, Ye Bai looked awkward. He always felt that this guy had no The inherent rigor of the Germans

"Heydrich, what is the current situation of the two intelligence stations on Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island?"

After seeing Heydrich, Ye Bai did not go directly to the topic, but first asked about the situation of the intelligence station. It was not that he did not believe Heydrich, but he just wanted to confirm whether this guy was really like that. powerful ability

"Please rest assured, Commander. Although the two intelligence stations have just been established, the intelligence agents in the stations are all excellent agents with good abilities. With the large amount of funds provided by the Commander, they have integrated into the local residents quite smoothly. A lot of information was collected."

Heydrich's voice was calm, with a cynical smile on his face, and then he continued:"However, the two intelligence stations were established too short ago. Currently, they can only access the bottom of the two island forces, and they are not yet able to attack them. It is impossible to collect some top-secret information even if you are among the high-level officials."

Ye Bai nodded. He knew this situation very well. He really thought that the aboriginal forces on the two small islands were just living for nothing. It was so easy for the intelligence agents he sent out to sneak into the top management. That's not the case. It's not far from destruction.

The inquiry just now was not really about knowing the development of the two intelligence stations. It was more about examining Heydrich's ability to see if he could do it in one night. , just mastered these two intelligence stations.

Now it seems that Heydrich did not disappoint him. He basically figured out the situation of the two intelligence stations in such a short time. This really made Ye Bai have a question in his heart. Thoughts on teaching

"We did start a little late in this regard, but the current situation waits for no one. We need intelligence support. Is there any way for our intelligence personnel to get on line with the top leaders of the two indigenous forces faster?"

This is actually a bit embarrassing. Anyone who does intelligence work needs to be careful, spend time and energy to lurk, how can it be so easy?

Although Heydrich is considered a genius in the intelligence community, but as the so-called cleverness No matter how capable he is, he cannot build a complete intelligence network from a newly established intelligence station among two indigenous forces.

Heydrich frowned, feeling helpless. He said:"Commander, intelligence work must be done step by step and not impatiently. We started too late and our foundation is too weak. We cannot develop by leaps and bounds, otherwise we will easily expose ourselves."

Hearing Heydrich's answer, the expression on Ye Bai's face did not change at all. No one knew what he was thinking except himself. After carefully looking at the expression on Ye Bai's face, Heydrich stretched out his hand to scratch He scratched the back of his head and continued:"But if you want to open up the situation as soon as possible, I do have a way, but it requires the commander's authorization and cooperation."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up. He really didn't expect that this guy Heydrich actually had a way. His interest instantly increased, and he said with some excitement:"Tell me how you need my cooperation."

"Commander, according to the information we currently have, whether it is Island No. 308 or Yuntong Island, they do not have the ability to build warships above the level of light cruisers. Nowadays, various forces are expanding their armaments and preparing for war, and it is difficult for them to purchase them from previous channels. to new battleships"

"If at this time, we set up a chamber of commerce to specialize in selling light cruisers, heavy cruisers and even escort aircraft carriers, I am afraid that these forces will take the initiative to come to our door. With the cover of the chamber of commerce, our intelligence personnel will have an umbrella of protection and will be easier to contact. to some high-level people."

Ye Bai nodded. He finally understood what Heydrich meant. To put it bluntly, it was to use open arms transactions to cover up intelligence personnel, openly contact some middle- and high-level people, and expand the sources of intelligence..

This method is indeed good. All the products he sells are strategic weapons that are in short supply on the two islands. They cannot help but ignore it. With the Chamber of Commerce as a cover, even if the intelligence personnel of the two forces find something wrong, they will not dare to take the risk. After all, they have offended their own chamber of commerce. They have no way to purchase these warships from other channels in a short time.

"Heydrich, have you ever thought that if we really dispatched such a chamber of commerce, the intelligence agencies of the two forces would not pay attention to it. If not, they would investigate the members of the chamber of commerce, and even become their targets. Focus on monitoring objects. In this case, the activities of our intelligence personnel will be greatly restricted."

Ye Bai is from the earth after all. He has watched a lot of spy war dramas. When the intelligence agents in them are operating behind enemy lines, they usually have the identity of a trading company as a cover.

Especially those from the Little Rikin Kingdom. Intelligence agencies almost always display the banner of a certain company openly and openly, but they cannot hide it from the people who are interested in it. Although they cannot rush in directly to make arrests due to various reasons, once there is any trouble, they cannot escape from the people who are interested in it. The eyes are dead...
