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

Therefore, the first thing they need to determine is which warships to choose for sale.

Kagero-class destroyers, Brooklyn-class light cruisers and New Orleans-class heavy cruisers. These three warships no longer need to be discussed. They have been determined before. The current sales situation is also very good, which can be regarded as opening up the warship trading market.

There is nothing much to say about escort carriers. At present, we have mastered the construction technology of Borg-class escort carriers. As for the Commencement Bay-class escort carriers that Frank and others are working hard to study, they are preparing to defend the fleet at various resource points. It cannot be sold to others, so only the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier can be opened for sale.

There is no other choice for light aircraft carriers. Even if the Ark Royal-class light aircraft carrier has been eliminated from the main fleet, it cannot be sold to other indigenous forces at this period. The final choice is the Brave-class light aircraft carrier..

In fact, among the warships eliminated from the Chinese fleet, there was also a Longxiang-class light aircraft carrier. However, this aircraft carrier was only the one previously rewarded by the system. Ye Bai disliked the performance of this warship and did not let the scientific research center counterattack it. For surveying and mapping, it is natural that they do not master the construction technology and cannot build it by themselves.

Of course, the Brave-class light aircraft carrier sold to aboriginal forces and players will not be a modified version of the ship, but the most original version.

The double-layer open hangar can accommodate 48 carrier-based aircraft, with a fully-accessible upper flight deck and a sloping lower fighter take-off deck. Regardless of whether there are any flaws in this design, for those indigenous forces, this is But it's a serious battleship.

Now that the aircraft carrier matter has been resolved, it is now the turn of the battlecruisers and battleships. This is what gives the three of them, especially Ye Bai, the biggest headache. For the battlecruisers, just take out the already eliminated Lion-class battlecruisers. That's it.

As for the Prestige-class battlecruiser, which is still equipped in the main fleet and the guard fleet, it is naturally impossible to sell it. The King Kong-class battlecruiser does exist as a physical battleship.

But it's still the same problem. I haven't considered this before. The scientific research center has not conducted reverse mapping of this model and has not mastered the construction technology. However, Ye Bai has made up his mind. Wait until Frank and other scientists complete the analysis of Commonsman. After the reverse mapping of the Tewan-class escort aircraft carrier, we concentrated on conducting reverse research on the King Kong-class battlecruiser and mastered the construction technology of this battlecruiser.

This will replace the Lion-class battlecruiser as the main battleship for sale to the outside world, ensuring that the performance of the sold battleships exceeds the current main equipment of the indigenous forces.

As for the final battleship, Ye Bai was also a little hesitant. The Chinese fleet had mastered the construction technology of several battleships, including the Nelson class, Dunkirk class, North Carolina class, Nagato class and Yamato class.

The three North Carolina-class and Yamato-class battleships are the main equipment of the Chinese fleet. Of course, they cannot be sold unless Ye Bai's brain is caught.

Therefore, those who are hesitant are the Nelson-class battleships and the Dunkirk-class battleships. Although the Dunkirk-class battleships have been classified by Ye Bai into the battlecruiser class, due to the system settings and the indigenous forces, , but it is still a real battleship, so it can naturally be sold as a battleship.

Although the Nelson-class battleship is also an old-fashioned battleship, its main gun is the same 406mm diameter as the Nagato-class and North Carolina-class, and its firepower is quite powerful.

To be honest, Ye Bai is still reluctant to sell the Nelson-class battleship. As for the Nagato-class battleship that Ye Bai does not plan to equip in the Chinese fleet, he will not even sell it.

The Nelson-class battleship Ye Bai was originally planned to continue to be equipped in the guard fleet. It can also be regarded as a main battleship. According to previous thinking, it will definitely not be sold to the outside world.

If the Nelson-class battleship is not sold, only the Dunkirk-class battleship can be sold. This battleship cannot have any advantage in performance and may not be able to attract the purchase desire of a large number of indigenous forces.

Just when Ye Bai was repeatedly struggling to make up his mind, Zhou Guolai stepped forward to help Ye Bai solve the problem. That was to take out the Nagato-class battleships that were not originally equipped and equip them with the guard fleet, completely eliminating the guard fleet. Those Nelson-class battleships currently equipped in China.

Even if the gun caliber is the same and the firepower is equivalent, the Nelson-class tonnage is several thousand tons higher than the Nagato-class, but in fact, the Nelson-class battleship is too heavy on the surface due to its overweight hull and insufficient power. The maneuverability is quite poor, with a speed of only 23 knots.

This surface speed is much lower than the 26.5 knots of the Nagato-class battleships and the 28 knots of the North Carolina-class battleships. The gap is not small. In other words, the performance of the battleships is relatively lagging behind.

It is also equipped with two battleships, the North Carolina-class battleship and the Nagato-class battleship, as well as the Ark Royal-class light aircraft carrier and the Essex-class medium aircraft carrier's guard fleet. In terms of large capital ships, it is not weak at all against the indigenous forces. 's main fleet.

With a warship with such advanced performance, even if there is no main fleet to assist in defense, the guard fleet alone can still protect the island well. Even if it is attacked by the main fleet of the indigenous forces, it can still have the power to fight.

After some discussion and deliberation, the warships specifically for sale were decided. However, the matter has not yet been completely resolved, that is, what standard should the number of warships for external sales be maintained at? This is related to these The battleship construction plan.

As a large main battleship, its construction period is not short. The Borg-class escort aircraft carrier is the shortest, only 5 days, the Valiant-class light aircraft carrier 15 days, the Lion-class battlecruiser 18 days, and the longest is the Nelson-class battleship. It takes 30 days.

How to allocate specific shipbuilding plans, like those of small and medium-sized warships, to ensure that there are warships for sale every day, while not affecting the construction plan of new warships, is quite a test of Speer's skills.

The first thing to be determined is the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier. A shipyard is dedicated to building this warship. Two ships are sold to the outside world every day. We do not plan to leave any inventory. Anyway, the construction cycle of this warship is quite short. If there is one, If a certain force makes large-scale purchases, it is entirely possible to start construction temporarily.

The Brave-class light aircraft carrier also requires a shipyard, and 20 ships can be built in a month, but only 15 ships are directly listed for sale in the trading board, which means that the frequency of selling one ship every two days is maintained, and the remaining 5 ships will be It will be temporarily stored and specially supplied to large customers like German Island....

The Lion-class battlecruisers and Nelson-class battleships also occupy a shipyard each. The Lion-class battlecruisers, like the Brave-class light aircraft carriers, maintain a frequency of selling one every two days, and the remaining battleships are all stored.

As for the Nelson-class battleships, they can only guarantee the sale of one every 4, and only 3 can be stored in one round of building plan.

Of course, Speer also mentioned that if after several rounds of construction, there are too many large main warships in reserve, and there are no big customers coming to purchase, some of the reserved warships will be put directly on the trading board. Sales are carried out in the process to reduce the backlog and consumption of raw materials. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Such a shipbuilding plan would require 7 shipyards to be built just for the various old warships specially designed for sale, which can be used to build new warships. There are only 5 seats left.

The pressure on the five shipyards to complete the new battleship building plan provided by Nimitz is actually quite high. After all, the construction period of these new battleships is not very short, especially the Yamato-class battleship, which takes a full 60 days to complete. construction work.

An extremely long construction period will result in the shipyard's slipway utilization not being too high. When the number of shipyards is too small, it will take longer to complete the construction plan for new warships.

Ye Bai was also a little worried about this problem, but the reason given by Speer was also very appropriate. The construction and sales plan of old warships cannot be stopped or even hindered. If possible, it even needs to be further increased.

After all, these warships are all for sale to the outside world. They can exchange a large amount of raw material resources from other players and indigenous forces, which can not only make up for the consumption of ship building, but also make a fortune.

This is not a small number. 3.1 takes the most powerful Nelson-class battleship as an example. Speer calculated that by selling three Nelson-class battleships, you can earn the raw material resources required for one Nelson-class battleship. In this way For Speer, who has always been troubled by raw material resources, he cannot withstand the temptation of profits.

Moreover, the number of new warships to be built has been reduced. In each round of shipbuilding plan, the raw material resources consumed will be correspondingly reduced, and a large amount of raw material resources can be earned from the sale of old warships.

As long as it lasts for a period of time, especially after the first batch of Nelson-class battleships are launched and sold to the outside world, the problem of raw material supply will be greatly alleviated, and Speer will no longer have to worry about raw materials.

One can even say unceremoniously that if you need any warships, you can just start building them."If you have money, you will be willful."

In the end, it was Speer who convinced Ye Bai. After all, regardless of the military aspect, there was no problem with Speer's suggestion and plan. The only flaw was that if the Chinese fleet wanted to complete the upgrade and fleet expansion, it would need It will take longer..
