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

However, on Shen Deyi's side, the small aboriginal forces that he had contacted before were basically saturated, and they soon sent a message that there was no need to buy new warships for the time being. After all, they were not at the most dangerous time. It is possible to invest all raw material resources in the fleet.

There was no good news from Shen Deyi, so Ye Bai could only wait for the reply from Wu Yichun and Said to see if they could bring back some good news, not to mention the remaining 400 old-fashioned ships. To digest all the battleships, at least a large part must be eaten, otherwise Ye Bai would feel extremely distressed every time he went to the small space and saw a large number of old battleships moored on the sea.

It's just that since joining Ye Bai's command, Wu Yichun and Said really haven't contacted those aboriginal forces anymore, because there is no need for that anymore.

It takes a lot of effort to suddenly make contact again. The most important thing is that contacting the aboriginal forces this time is no small matter. It involves the transaction of a large number of warships. Those aboriginal forces will not take it easy. Trust Blue Star players.

Let’s not mention the difficulty of this process for the moment. It takes a lot of time during the process. Fortunately, Ye Bai is not too anxious for the time being. As long as these old warships are sold before the main fleet of the Chinese fleet is expanded, it will be enough. Okay, you have time to wait slowly.

This wait lasted for 2 months. After completing the replenishment and refitting of the Yuntong Island guard fleet, the main fleet once again pulled anchor and set sail, returning to Island No. 308.

Here, the main fleet needs to wait for the small-space Shipbuilding Factory 02 to continuously launch new warships and expand the fleet. At the same time, the size of the No. 308 Island Guard Fleet also needs to be further expanded.

New warships, especially those large main warships with long construction periods, have already been put into service. Said and Wu Yichun finally contacted several aboriginal forces through their relationships with other players.

Of course, the aboriginal forces that have been contacted so hard will not be large or medium-sized aboriginal forces. They are still just small aboriginal forces occupying small islands.

Only these small indigenous forces that can only build small destroyers by themselves are so eager to purchase warships from outside.

However, although these small indigenous forces are eager to purchase warships, they are contacted through Blue Star players after all. This level of trust is not high. Therefore, although the transaction of warships can be carried out, the purchase quantity is not large.

A small aboriginal force only purchased 30 to 40 old-fashioned warships from Ye Bai. This kind of effort was much smaller than that of the small aboriginal forces that were connected through Shen Deyi.

Although the number of warships purchased by the small aboriginal forces contacted by these players is smaller, it is just right for Ye Bai. It seems that the number of warships purchased by each company is not large, but after all the transactions are completed, the number of warships will still be purchased. Ye Bai purchased more than 200 old warships.

In today's small space, there are still about 100 old-fashioned warships as reserves. The number is still not small, but it is much less than the more than 400 ships before.

Most of the old warships have been sold, and it is much easier to deal with the remaining old warships. Not to mention that there may be an aboriginal force coming to buy them at any time, even if they go through the trading section, it will be slow. Selling slowly and in batches is not a problem either.

A large number of old warships were processed, and more new warships were launched into service. With the help of these indigenous forces, the size of the Chinese fleet was instantly expanded.

The guard fleets of the two small islands, Yuntong Island and No. 308 Island, have reached a considerable scale. The Comansmant Bay-class escort aircraft carrier specially prepared for the resource point defense fleet consumes less raw material resources and has a longer construction period. Short, under Speer's arrangement, a large number of them were built.

Among the 11 raw material resource points under Ye Bai's control, the defense fleet of each resource point is equipped with a full 5 Commencement Bay-class escort aircraft carriers, which greatly enhances the air reconnaissance and air combat capabilities of the defense fleet..

According to the message sent by the guard fleet to the war situation center, various resource points have been harassed by the NPC pirate fleet during this period. The defense fleet, which has air superiority, discovered the movements of the NPC pirate fleet first and calmly deployed defenses. Not only did it ensure the safety of resource points, it also severely damaged or even eliminated the NPC pirate fleet that came to harass.

Not only has the size and strength of the defense fleet been improved, but the guard fleets of the two islands have been supplemented by a large number of new warships. The escort fleet, patrol fleet and the crucial main fleet have all reached the previous expected establishment.

Not counting the defense fleets guarding resource points, the two guard fleets each have more than 600 new warships, including quite a few large main battleships.

The main forces in the fleet are naturally the Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers and North Carolina-class battleships, but they are also equipped with some Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers and Yamato-class battleships. As for the originally equipped Nelson-class battleships, all have been eliminated.

With the existence of these new warships, especially the new large-scale main warships, the two guard fleets are no less than the main fleets under the aboriginal forces in terms of size and actual combat effectiveness.

Even if there is no main fleet, relying solely on the guard fleet is enough to protect Island No. 308 and Yuntong Island.

The two guard fleets were the first to complete the expansion, and the new warships subsequently launched into service by the Small Space Shipyard will be used to supplement the main fleet and continue to expand the size of the main fleet.

According to Nimitz's previous plan, the main fleet of the Chinese fleet will have three squadrons, of which the first fleet is the absolute main force, including the Yanhuang.

It has 10 Essex-class medium aircraft carriers, 10 Yamato-class battleships, 10 North Carolina-class battleships, 24 Renown-class battlecruisers, 32 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, 64 Cleveland-class light cruisers, and 128 Fletcher-class ships. Destroyers, a total of 279 battleships.

The commander of the First Fleet is concurrently served by Nimitz, the Chief of Staff of the Chinese Fleet. As the main strike force of the main fleet, whether it is long-range strikes by aviation power or close-range fleet artillery battles, there is no ambiguity..

Compared with the First Fleet, the Second Fleet is not weak, with 10 Essex-class medium aircraft carriers, 5 Yamato-class battleships, 12 North Carolina-class battleships, 24 Prestige-class battlecruisers, and 32 Baltimores -class heavy cruisers, 64 Cleveland-class light cruisers, and 128 Fletcher-class destroyers, for a total of 275 battleships.

There is one less Yanhuang, and the number of Yamato-class battleships is also reduced by 5, but there are 2 more North Carolina-class battleships, and the overall strength is also very strong.

The commander of the fleet was Cunningham, and Lütjens was also in the second fleet as deputy commander. Nimitz's requirement for the second fleet was to be able to stand alone and defeat a comparable or even slightly stronger aboriginal force. fleet.

The organization of the Third Fleet is different from that of the First Fleet and the Second Fleet. It has 12 Essex-class medium aircraft carriers, 2 Yamato-class battleships, 6 North Carolina-class battleships, 12 Renown-class battlecruisers, 24 Baltimore-class heavy cruisers, 48 ​​Cleveland-class light cruisers, and 96 Fletcher-class destroyers, a total of 200 battleships.

It can be seen from the equipment of warships that the Third Fleet mainly relies on the long-range strike force of aircraft carriers. The 12 Essex-class medium-sized aircraft carriers are the core strike force of the Third Fleet.

As for the 8 battleships and 12 battlecruisers, the more purpose of 043 is to serve as sword guards for the aircraft carrier group and for fleet artillery battles in emergencies.

The fleet organization is different and the combat methods are different. Of course, the selection of fleet commanders is also somewhat different. Halsey became the fleet commander of the Third Fleet, and Spruance served as deputy commander, responsible for fleet aviation operations.

After the three squadrons are all established, the main fleet of the Chinese fleet will become a behemoth with more than 700 battleships. Not only in terms of the performance of the battleships, but also in terms of number, it will exceed the vast majority of small aborigines in the great maritime world. The main fleet of the force.

However, such a large fleet cannot be gathered together. In many cases, it needs to perform different tasks separately. Without the logistical assistance provided by the Yanhuang, the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet would have to perform tasks alone, which would cause many problems..

In order to enhance the independent combat capabilities of the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, Nimitz also equipped both fleets with a transport fleet, including the Dietmarschen-class comprehensive supply ship and the forward base segmented floating dock ( ABSD), responsible for the supply of the fleet and the maintenance of warships.

Correspondingly, an escort fleet dedicated to escorting the supply fleet was also established. Ark Royal-class light aircraft carriers and North Carolina-class battleships were equipped in the escort fleet.

In addition to these surface ships, Nimitz also equipped the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet with 2 formations with a total of 100 Type XXI submarines respectively to enhance the underwater strength of the fleet.

In view of the current combat capabilities of Type XXI submarines, submarine formations usually do not directly participate in large-scale fleet artillery battles, but they can provide great help to the fleet in many other aspects.

The speed of the submarine formation is not fast, but that is compared with the speed of the surface fleet. If it competes with the logistics ships in the supply fleet, it will not be at a disadvantage. It will even have some advantages and will not give the fleet What a drag and burden it causes..
