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

Ye Bai nodded. It had only been 3 days since he left the copy space. It was equivalent to repairing all the damaged warships. It only took 5 days in total. It was not very short, but at least it took more time than building a new warship. Much shorter.

This is why repairing a warship that has been"resurrected" by the system requires similar resources to building a brand new warship, but Ye Bai still wants to repair it instead of directly eliminating it.

"Sir, after the new batch of battleships are launched in the small space, will a new squadron be established?"

Seeing that Ye Bai was in a good mood, Nimitz put forward his own suggestions. The exchanges with Fletcher and Spruance in the past two days made him highly recognize the abilities of these two new officers. , thinking that both of them have the ability to serve as commanders of a fleet.

Ye Bai was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Fletcher and Spruance, who also looked a little excited after hearing Nimitz's words. , and instantly understood something.

He shook his head and said softly:"The small warships in the new batch of shipbuilding plans have been launched. The construction of medium and large warships is still being stepped up, but the subsequent construction plans have been stopped.."

When these words came out, Fletcher and Spruance still didn't quite understand, but Nimitz was surprised. According to his understanding of his master, it is not an exaggeration to call him a shipbuilding madman. , the construction plan of the shipyard in the small space has never stopped, and now this situation has occurred.

Ye Bai also suddenly remembered that he had been busy with the plan to encroach on German Island in the past few days, and he had never been to the war situation. Center, regarding the insufficient supply of raw material resources in the small space and the cannibalization plan, they have never communicated with Nimitz, and they still don’t know about it now. He waved his hand and greeted the three people to sit together in a small meeting at the war situation center. Sitting on the chair next to the table, Ye Bai carefully explained the current situation to several people.

"This time we successfully cleared the dungeon space, and the system rewarded some battleship construction drawings. The performance of several battleships is better than the battleships currently equipped in our fleet. It is time to change the equipment."

"The supply of raw material resources in the small space is somewhat insufficient, so I ordered to stop the subsequent shipbuilding plan, and reserve all the raw material resources mined every day. After this round of shipbuilding plan is completed, we will start building those Advanced warships with better performance."

While talking, Ye Bai also told several people the approximate data of Yamato-class battleships, Essex-class aircraft carriers, North Carolina-class battleships, Cleveland-class light cruisers, and the Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ship independently developed by the scientific research center. People.

Nimitz and others are experienced and outstanding naval officers. After hearing the rough data of these new warships, they have already made some comparisons with the current warships in the Chinese fleet. They have to admit that these warships are more powerful than the warships currently in service in the Chinese fleet. The warships currently in service in the fleet are stronger, and there is no problem at all in changing them.

As a soldier who actually commands these warships in combat, of course, I hope that the warships equipped in the fleet will be as powerful as possible, although according to Ye Bai's The shipbuilding plan needs to wait until 2 months before it can be replaced with new warships.

And during this period of time, the Chinese fleet will not be able to get more warships to supplement the fleet size, but they all think it is worth it, maybe The only pity is that Fletcher and Spruance have temporarily taken the position of fleet commanders.

"Sir, after the new warships are launched into service, will the warships that have been eliminated from the main fleet be replenished into the two guard fleets, or will they continue to serve in the main fleet?"

Only Nimitz is suitable to ask this question. After all, he is the chief of staff of the entire Chinese fleet and is fully responsible for fleet operations, including the formation, organization and other matters of each fleet. At the same time,

Nimitz is also working for Fletcher. The two of them considered with Spruance that if they only added some new warships and the previously equipped warships continued to serve in the main fleet, it would be equivalent to expanding the main fleet, and they would still have the opportunity to become a branch. No matter how bad the fleet commander is, there is only one person who can sit in that position. Unexpectedly,

Ye Bai shook his head again, stretched out his hand and spread out a navigation map, pointed to the location of German Island on the map, and said softly :"This is German Island. The situation in the nearby waters is not good. These small forces are trying to find ways to purchase new warships, especially large warships."

"We have reached a transaction agreement with the German Island. These small islands will use the raw materials they have to purchase the warships in our hands. Therefore, after the new warships are launched into service, all the old warships in the guard fleet will be sold to them."

"The battleships eliminated from the main fleet will be replenished into the two guard fleets. Therefore, for at least four months, the main fleet, including the two guard fleets, will remain at its current size without any expansion."

When saying this, Ye Bai did not say that this is just a development under normal circumstances. If he is lucky enough, during this period of time, Ye Bai will once again obtain the reward of the space crystal.

Then the small space will Being able to upgrade again, the problem of insufficient supply of internal raw material resources will be solved, and more shipyards can be built, and more warships can be built at one time. While satisfying the warship trade with German Island, It can also expand the existing fleet.

As the chief of staff of the fleet, Nimitz didn't care about what Ye Bai just said about the warship trading plan with German Island. That was Zhou Guolai's matter. What really concerned him was that in For a long time after that, the Chinese fleet will only refit existing warships, but it will not increase in number and scale.

"Understood, sir, I will arrange the fleet defense."

Since the size of the fleet will not be expanded in a short period of time, it is necessary to use the existing strength of the fleet to undertake the defense work of the two islands.

There are two tasks of daily alerts, patrols, defense of resource points, and escort of the transport fleet. The guard fleet is responsible, but the main fleet still cannot relax at all and needs to be vigilant at all times. After all, this is the only mobile fleet.

"The situation in the world of navigation is not good now. According to the news from the players, there are more and more pirate warships operating in the sea, and the pressure of patrolling and destroying the guard fleet is too great."

"Therefore, I decided to transfer a group of main warships from the main fleet, plus the small and medium-sized warships launched this time in Xiaoshikong, to form a new fleet, go to Yuntong Island, join the guard fleet, and enhance the strength of the Yuntong Island guard fleet.."

Ye Bai said, his mind was also thinking, and he said wherever he thought:"This fleet is led by Fletcher. After arriving at Yuntong Island, you will take over as the commander of the Yuntong Island Guard Fleet. After that, Cunningham returned to the main fleet and awaited new arrangements."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

In the systematic evaluation, Cunningham has the rank of admiral, which is the highest military rank after Nimitz, the rank of marshal.

Although Military rank does not represent everything, but since the system has such an evaluation, it must be meaningful. It can at least explain the abilities of the officers. For an admiral like Cunningham to be placed in the guard fleet, it is indeed a bit unfair. , had it not been for the main fleet’s expedition to Island No. 308, Yuntong Island would have needed a very capable military commander to guard Yuntong Island and ensure that the retreat and home base were not lost, and Cunningham would not have stayed on Yuntong Island. Go up.

Now that Fletcher and Spruance have been added, Ye Bai finally has a suitable candidate to replace Cunningham, but compared with Spruance who is better at aircraft carrier command tactics. It seems that Fletcher is more suitable to serve as the commander of the Yuntong Island Guard Fleet.

Among the main fleet of the Chinese fleet, including Cunningham who is about to return, there are not a few outstanding naval generals, but these Among the officers, Cunningham, Halsey and Lütjens were obviously better at fleet artillery warfare.

Nimitz was the only one who was really good at aircraft carrier tactics, but the Yanhuang's super capability and the combat of the entire main fleet The plan requires Nimitz to be responsible for it. It can be said that he has no skills at all. Therefore, the main fleet needs another outstanding officer who is also good at aircraft carrier tactics to individually command an aircraft carrier fleet with aircraft carriers as the core force to perform certain tasks..

Colonel Ramsey, who was recruited a long time ago, currently does not have such an ability. Unless his ability is further improved and he crosses that threshold and is promoted to rear admiral, he may still have a chance.

Now, there is only Sri Lanka. Pruance has such capabilities, so the main fleet will not be expanded even in a short period of time, nor will a new fleet be established. Spruance will continue to remain in the main fleet, and Will not be let out

"Yes, sir, I will immediately make arrangements to mobilize the battleships and let Major General Fletcher get familiar with his subordinates."

Of course Nimitz will not refuse or object to Ye Bai's arrangement. Through these few days of contact, he has already understood Fletcher's abilities. Compared with Cunningham, who he had briefly contacted, Nimitz is not as good as him. But There is no problem in serving as the commander of a garrison fleet.

Even in Nimitz's opinion, Rear Admiral Spruance is better than Cunningham in some aspects, both serving as the commander of the garrison fleet. A suitable candidate.

However, the appointment of senior officers was the right of Ye Bai, the supreme commander. Nimitz would not interfere foolishly. At most, he would put forward some suggestions of his own when he found that it was inappropriate. In the end, The decision-making power is still in Ye Bai's hands

"Please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations and protect Yuntong Island."[]

Fletcher, the biggest beneficiary of this order, immediately stood up and saluted with a military salute, his face full of joy..
