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

Nimitz sighed deeply and said with some embarrassment:"My lord, I once heard Mr. Zhou say a word, which is that if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. At first I didn't understand what it meant, but now I know Got it"

"I have been sitting on the Yanhuang and have never encountered any danger. The long period of peace has made me lose the vigilance that I should have as a fleet commander and a professional soldier. I really shouldn’t."

"Fortunately, an adult gave me some advice. Otherwise, if things go on like this, I will make big mistakes and possibly cause serious losses to the fleet. This kind of mentality is a taboo for a fleet commander."

Since being recruited by Ye Bai, Nimitz has stayed on the Yanhuang and has almost never worried about safety. This has caused him to slack off in his subconscious and ignore the danger of the fleet commander. If it hadn't been this time Ye Bai took the initiative to mention it. Nimitz might be able to remember and discover his omission, but he would definitely not be so quick.

Seeing Nimitz's expression actually made Ye Bai feel angry. He did not expect that , with only half a bucket of water, he was able to put Nimitz to shame. He was a naval marshal, and he was recognized by the system. He quickly said:"Nimitz, the burden on your shoulders is too heavy, think about it. There are too many things. Unlike me, I am an idle person who spends a lot of time thinking about things every day. As the saying goes, a wise man will make a mistake after a thousand worries, and a fool will make a gain after a thousand worries. You are the wise man, and I am the fool."

Nimitz had never heard of this proverb from the flower-growing country. With his limited level of flower-growing language, it was difficult to truly understand the meaning of this sentence, but he could feel Ye Bai's comforting meaning and felt even more ashamed. A few points. After all, although Ye Bai is the commander of the Chinese fleet in name, Nimitz knows very well his true level. In the past, he was the one who comforted and taught Ye Bai, but now it is completely reversed, allowing Nimitz to Mitz also felt a little embarrassed.

But Nimitz was Nimitz after all. After discovering his negligence, although he briefly fell into self-blame and self-awareness, he quickly picked himself up again.

Solemnly He said calmly:"Your Excellency, I suggest that the No. 308 Island Guard Fleet and the Yuntong Island Guard Fleet each be supplemented with two Yamato-class battleships. One of them will serve as the flagship of the fleet commander to ensure their safety on the battlefield. In addition, One ship can undertake the task of sharp knife, with the assistance of other battleships, assault the enemy fleet formation and break its fleet defense system."

"Not only the two current guard fleets, but also other island guard fleets in the future must be equipped according to this standard."

Ye Bai raised his hand and touched the back of his head, and said with a smile:"Okay, I'll do what you want and arrange the deployment. I'll go find Speer. Since I want to replenish the Yuntong Island guard fleet with warships, I might as well just do it. complete in one step."

Currently, there are dozens of new warships parked at the small space port terminal, all of which are prepared to supplement the Yuntong Island guard fleet, including 5 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers and 5 North Carolina-class ships. Battleships, and 10 Prestige-class battlecruisers.

These battleships are sufficient in terms of equipment, but they lack two other battleships, the HMS Ark Royal light aircraft carrier and the Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier.

Nimitz had previously suggested changing the configuration of warships under the garrison fleet. The first step was to completely eliminate escort aircraft carriers from the main fleet of the garrison fleet and replace them with regular aircraft carriers.

With the Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carrier Together with the two real aircraft carriers, the Ark Royal-class light aircraft carrier, they will form a high-low match to achieve this goal.

As the main force of the guard fleet, the Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carrier generally will not be dispatched easily. The daily escort fleet and patrol fleet are equipped with Royal The Ark-class light aircraft carrier is enough, but for training purposes, 1-2 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers can be deployed to take turns sailing with the escort fleet and patrol fleet to ensure the combat effectiveness of their warship officers and soldiers.

As for escort aircraft carriers, It will be completely eliminated, but will be equipped into the defense fleets of various resource points to strengthen the aviation power of the defense fleet. A defense fleet is usually equipped with 4-5 Commencement Bay-class escort aircraft carriers.

Frank was good at ship research before. After the top scientist he created joined the Chinese fleet, Ye Bai personally appointed him as the leader of the ship aspect of the scientific research center, and led other scientists to first start reverse mapping of the Commencement Bay-class escort aircraft carrier.

There was one Top scientists are taking the lead, and the research progress of the scientific research center is quite good. It has successfully completed the reverse survey and mapping of the Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier and has mastered perfect construction technology.

Frank and others have not only mastered the scientific knowledge The construction technology of the Munsment Bay-class escort aircraft carrier has even been modified and upgraded to a certain extent, fully meeting Ye Bai's requirements.

After being replaced with a more powerful steam turbine, its highest The speed has reached 24, which is not very fast, but for an escort aircraft carrier that focuses on long-range strikes, it is completely enough. As for close combat, don’t count on it at all. Commencement Bay In the final analysis, the class escort aircraft carrier is just a modified oil tanker. It is a purely civilian ship with very weak armor protection. The speed of 24 is enough. The hangar has also been partially expanded, increasing the area and being able to accommodate a larger number of ships. With the addition of carrier-based aircraft tethered to the flight deck, today's Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier can accommodate as many as 44 carrier-based aircraft, which is much more than the original version. It has 10 carrier-based aircraft.

After such transformation and upgrade, the Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier can even compete with the original Brave-class light aircraft carrier in terms of offensive capabilities.

As for speed and defensive power , then there is no comparison. After all, one is an escort aircraft carrier modified from a tanker, and the other is a serious light aircraft carrier.

This modified Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier is stronger than the Borg-class escort aircraft carrier, but its construction period is also several days longer, and it takes 8 days to be launched into service.

After arriving in the small space, Ye Bai went directly to Speer's office and asked him about the status of several shipyards dedicated to building new warships.

Although he didn't quite understand the purpose of Ye Bai's question, Speer still answered honestly. There are currently five shipyards dedicated to building new warships.

Two of them are all building Yamato-class battleships. The 10 Yamato-class battleships built in the first shipyard will be completed and launched into service in another 10 days. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!) The construction of the 10 Yamato-class battleships started at another shipyard is expected to take more than 30 days to be completely completed and launched into service.

Among the remaining three shipyards, one is building 10 Essex-class medium aircraft carriers and the other is building 10 North Carolina-class battleships. Among them, the North Carolina-class battleship is making the fastest progress and is expected to be completed in 5 days. It's ready to be finished.

As for the 10 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers, it will take almost 10 days to complete the construction work and launch into service.

The last shipyard is more complicated. Battlecruisers, heavy cruisers, light cruisers and even destroyers are all started in this shipyard. Although the construction period of these battleships is relatively shorter, they are limited by the slipway. The number of new warships launched each round is very small.

When he mentioned this, Speer wanted to go crazy. If Ye Bai hadn't had a whim, he directly ordered the construction of 10 Yamato-class battleships, 10 North Carolina-class battleships, and 10 Essex-class medium aircraft carriers to start again. ship plan.

It will not take up three precious shipyards at all. Speer can also make better use of these shipyards and adjust the shipbuilding plan. It will not be as hard as it is now. In addition to waiting for the completion of those large main battleships, it can only They can rack their brains to use the last shipyard to continuously build new warships, but the efficiency is quite low.

Ye Bai, whose face turned red after being stimulated by Speer's strange words, also felt embarrassed. After all, this situation was caused by him. It can only be said that the young man has strong firepower, and his blood will rush to his head if he is not careful. The big head is easily congested, and if things go wrong, it may become chaotic.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, for the sake of his next plan, Ye Bai still bravely told him his purpose.

Among the new warships planned to be supplemented to the Yuntong Island garrison fleet, there is still a shortage of Royal Square-class light aircraft carriers and Commonsmant Bay-class escort aircraft carriers. Of course, they must be replaced as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the construction period of these two warships is relatively short. The Ark Royal class takes 20 days and the Commonsmant Bay class escort aircraft carrier takes 8 days. Judging from the time, it may be a bit tight, but it should still be enough.

There are also Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ships. Ye Bai is also preparing to add 20 more comprehensive supply ships to each of the two guard fleets, bringing the number of comprehensive supply ships equipped to each guard fleet to 50.

With so many Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ships, even if the size of the guard fleet is expanded to more than 500 ships, there is no need to worry too much about logistical supplies. There is also a submarine force that also needs to be supplemented.

After hearing what Ye Bai said, Speer couldn't help it no matter how good-tempered he was. It was because of Ye Bai's chaos that caused tension between the raw materials and the shipyard. Finally, Ye Bai discovered his mistake and stopped interfering randomly..

Not long after Speer had relaxed, Ye Bai wanted to interfere randomly again. As a leader, it was really hard for a subordinate to accept such changes in orders every day.

Of course, Ye Bai knew that the request he made was quite difficult for Speer. Otherwise, he would not have inquired about the shipbuilding status of several shipyards as soon as they met. He just wanted to know more about the progress.[]
