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

Ye Bai pressed his right hand slightly, signaling Fletcher to sit down. Ye Bai turned to Spruance, who had a disappointed expression on his face, and said,"Spruance, you first assist Nimi in the war situation center." This is our work. After the new warships enter service, the main fleet's organization plan will be adjusted."

"By then, the composition of warships and combat methods of the Second Fleet and Third Fleet will have undergone great changes. You will also have to undertake important work, so be prepared at all times."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured. I will definitely learn from Marshal Nimitz and will not be ashamed of your trust."

He nodded, waved his hand again, and ended this informal meeting. Seeing Nimitz and others continue to go about their business, Ye Bai once again fell into deep thought.

Back then, he was in the main fleet. When the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet were established, Ye Bai had this plan, preparing them to become a battleship formation with battleships as the core force, and an aircraft carrier formation with aircraft carriers as the core strike force. It was just that he was formulating two divisions. When the fleet was specifically organized, both Lütjens and Halsey were obviously better at commanding battleship tactics and were not proficient in aircraft carrier tactics.

This was why aircraft carriers were originally supposed to be used as the core strike of the"563" The third fleet of the powerful force seemed a bit nondescript. In this dungeon space, the third fleet was responsible for attacking the mixed fleet. As a result, under the command of Halsey, it once again turned into a close-range artillery battle, with a loss of 3 points. The largest in the fleet.

In addition, the Ark Royal-class aircraft carrier is only a light aircraft carrier in the final analysis. The number of carrier-based aircraft it can accommodate is limited. If it were not replaced with a beveled flight deck, it could only accommodate about 50 carrier-based aircraft.

Put it down. On the earth in the previous life, it was of course an excellent aircraft carrier. When multiple Ark Royal class aircraft carriers were combined, they could form a powerful air strike force.

But in the world of navigation, all fleet sizes have been expanded. The enemy is more powerful and has more warships. If you want to have a strong air strike force, you need to equip more aircraft carriers.

Ye Bai once discussed with Nimitz, facing a 200-ship If an enemy fleet composed of left and right warships is to effectively carry out aerial bombardment and cause considerable losses to the opposing fleet, the size of the attack fleet in each round must be at least maintained at around 2-300 aircraft. Calculate based on this number If so, the number of carrier-based aircraft equipped in the aircraft carrier fleet will need to be as high as about 1,000 to ensure the aerial bombing power of multiple attack waves. With such a large carrier-based aircraft capacity, an oblique flight deck is installed and carried out After a small-scale transformation and upgrade, the Ark Royal-class light aircraft carrier can only accommodate about 70 carrier-based aircraft.

It is necessary to equip the aircraft carrier fleet with more than a dozen Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers to meet such requirements..

This is a bit embarrassing. After all, so far, the main fleet of the Chinese fleet has only equipped a total of 8 Royal Ark-class light aircraft carriers. All of them are equipped in a squadron, and they cannot meet this combat strength standard. What's more , neither Ye Bai nor Nimitz could equip all Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers into a squadron. Other squadrons also need to equip a certain number of aircraft carriers.

Even if battleships are used as the The Second Fleet, the core strike force, also needs to be equipped with aircraft carriers to provide air protection for the fleet. It is impossible not to equip aircraft carriers at all.

In this way, in order to realize the ideal fleet organization plan in the minds of Ye Bai and Nimitz, for The requirement for the number of aircraft carriers is really quite large, at least it cannot be achieved at present.

Fortunately, this trip to the dungeon space allowed Ye Bai to obtain the construction drawings of the Essex-class aircraft carrier. The full-load displacement is nearly 4 tons, and it is only one of the hangars. It can store nearly a hundred carrier-based aircraft of various types in it, and can also park aircraft on the flight deck. In this way, the whole ship can carry more than 100 aircraft in total, making it a serious medium-sized aircraft carrier.

In terms of carrier-based aircraft capacity alone, two Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers can fully match three Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers, greatly reducing the amount of equipment required by the aircraft carriers.

With the Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carrier and Spruance, an excellent officer who is good at aircraft carrier tactics, Ye Bai's previously planned aircraft carrier formation can be put on the agenda.

However, this plan can only be on paper at present. After all, if the Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carrier is to be launched into service, it will have to wait at least two months. Cunningham, Lütjens and Halsey will How to distribute equally excellent officers is also a problem.

After all, in a short period of time, the size of the main fleet will not expand and will remain at the scale of three squadrons. The main fleet, the First Fleet, is of course under the command of Nimitz, with him serving as fleet commander.

The Third Fleet is the future aircraft carrier formation, and its fleet commander is Spruance. Who makes this guy's aviation command ability second only to Nimitz in the Chinese fleet.

But the selection of the commander of the Second Fleet, the battleship formation responsible for close combat, is somewhat difficult. Cunningham, Lütjens, and Halsey all have this ability.

There are three suitable and outstanding officers, but there is only one position of fleet commander. How to arrange it is really a headache.

Fortunately, there are still two months until the new battleship is launched into service. There is no need to consider this issue for the time being. Instead of having a headache by myself at this time, it is better to take Nimitz with him and have a headache later. You deserve to share in the misfortune.

Time passed very quickly. After all the battleships in the main fleet that were damaged in this copy space mission were repaired and rejoined the Chinese fleet, Zhou Guolai and Shen Deyi also completed the communication on the details of the cannibalization plan.

With the transport fleet from afar, Shen Deyi embarked on the voyage back to Geman Island. However, unlike when he came, the size of the transport fleet increased by two ships, which were fully loaded with personnel transferred from various departments by Zhou Guolai.

These personnel are the first batch of personnel selected by Zhou Guolai for the cannibalization plan of Geman Island. They will follow the transport fleet all the way to Geman Island, and under the cover of Shen Deyi, they will be quietly inserted into Geman Island. among various departments and agencies.

Through this method of boiling frogs in warm water, they slowly replaced the original personnel of German Island, took control of the rights of German Island, and eventually annexed the entire German Island.

Standing on the Yanhuang which still maintained its base form, Ye Bai let out a long sigh as he looked at the transport fleet going away.

Nimitz, who was standing behind him, said,"Are you worried, sir? There is nothing wrong with Mr. Zhou's plan. With Shen Deyi's cover, the personnel we sent out should be able to complete the mission smoothly."."

The cannibalization plan formulated by Zhou Guolai and others not only placed personnel in the government agencies of German Island, but also placed personnel in the naval fleet. This was inseparable from the assistance of Nimitz, the chief of staff of the Chinese fleet.

Therefore, by now, Nimitz already knew something about the cannibalization plan. Among the first batch of personnel sent out, there were soldiers he personally selected from among the officers and soldiers of the fleet.

Hearing the words coming from behind, Ye Bai said without looking back:"I'm not worried about the plan. I just think that the whole world is not stable now. All forces are expanding their armies and preparing for war, thinking about strengthening their military strength."

"However, we are limited by the supply of raw material resources and cannot carry out large-scale military expansion. Especially for those large warships, the construction cycle is too long and time does not wait."

Nimitz understood and comforted softly:"Sir, our Chinese fleet has been established for too short a time, less than a year. It can develop to the present level only because of your ability."

"Those aboriginal forces have survived for who knows how many years in the great maritime world, and they all have their own financial backgrounds. We may not be able to compete with them in terms of hard power now, but as long as we are given time to develop, we will surpass them sooner or later."

Of course Ye Bai understands this. In the past, he might not have cared too much about it. It's just that he can't expand the fleet for a few months. It's not a big deal. At most, he just keeps a low profile during this period, focusing on defense and not taking the initiative. Just attack.

But after learning one of the failure conditions in the world of navigation from Shen Deyi, Ye Bai felt a sense of urgency in his heart. 38 years is neither long nor short.

If according to what Shen Deyi said Based on the strength of the senior player who arrived, Ye Bai must at least surpass that senior player to be able to achieve the clearance conditions set by the system.

That senior occupies a large island, nearly 10 type 0.4 islands. There are also dozens of small islands, and the size of the fleet under his command is even more terrifying. The total number of warships totals tens of thousands, and tens of thousands of warships can be dispatched to fight at any time. With such strength, Ye Bai is now Even if the plan to encroach on German Island goes well, and all the surrounding medium-sized and small islands are occupied with German Island as the center, the gap between us and the predecessor will still be huge.

And in other sea areas , but Shen Deyi will not encounter this situation every time. Without internal response or special methods, we can only rely on the hard power of the fleet to defeat it with real swords and guns. When the war breaks out, it does not matter how long it will take. In order to achieve such a goal, the number of warships lost in the battle will definitely not be small, and it will also take a lot of time to repair and build new warships. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

After such calculation, It seems that 38 years is really not that much time. Do you think this can stop Ye Bai from being impatient?

"Don't be impatient, adults. I remember Mr. Zhou once said that there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and it will be straight when the boat reaches the bridge. I think this is quite reasonable. No matter what kind of difficulties we encounter now, as long as we ourselves Always maintain enough confidence and always be able to think of a solution"
