"Finally gone!" Seeing Su Mo leaving, Xu Jie couldn't help wiping a cold sweat. Discussing these issues with Su Mo these days has been too laborious. On the one hand, it is really troublesome to discuss things, and on the other hand, it is really troublesome to discuss things.

On the one hand, I want to convince myself that this brother-in-law is more troublesome. After all, the things accumulated in my head are decades of experience and lessons from later generations, and this plane has not yet been developed.

An aircraft carrier battle, so Su Mo was very tired to understand, and even more tired to explain himself. Just when he turned back to the office, someone informed that Minister Yang Yonglin was back, "Well, a little devil has left, and a king of hell has come.

"Xu Jie frowned slightly and murmured in his heart, it seems that he will continue to work today. He doesn't know what Yang Yonglin is looking for this time.

"Su Mo just left?" Yang Yonglin saw Su Mo's car when he walked in. Most people don't know the relationship between Xu Jie and Su Mo, but as a navy boss who is stationed in Beijing, he knows all about it. "I

I guess you guys must have been talking a lot these days. What was the result? Damn it.

How many cows do you have?" Yang Yonglin said half-jokingly. We are all old brothers, and there are not so many rules between each other. The phrase "talking" was naturally brought by Xu Jie, a time traveler, and what followed was also

There is a more grand and classy term called oral ballistics!

"It's not good to brag all day long. How about we take a break today? Find a place to have a drink." Xu Jie nodded in agreement and said.

"That's not possible. Talking is our job now. In the past, we were fighting with live ammunition. Now we can only talk. And don't tell me, today is really an important matter." Yang Yonglin paused.

After a pause, he continued: "Well, I always think that at the current construction speed, even if we have 12 fleet aircraft carriers when the war starts, it will still not be enough. The Germans estimate that there will be 6 to 8 this year. They will

Two high-speed merchant ships were directly converted into aircraft carriers, and new aircraft carriers were started at the same time. This is a lot of pressure for us. And considering the battle damage and rotation of the aircraft carrier fleet, in fact, our battlefield possessions are only 6 at most.

Moreover, in addition to naval warfare, anti-submarine escort and ground attack require a large number of aircraft carriers. Our current construction progress must either be accelerated or we must find other ways." Yang Yonglin said.

"With the fall of Italy, the Germans can use up to one year to resume production in some key shipyards. The lack of some parts production companies is not a problem. German companies can make up for the lack of injection into the production of turbines, boilers and electronic equipment. In

In the future, if they exert their full strength, Italian shipyards and slipways will be maintained

In order to ensure the normal repair and maintenance of the Allied fleet, the construction of two 20,000-ton fleet aircraft carriers and one 30,000-ton armored aircraft carrier will be started at the same time. The Germans have realized the shortage of armored aircraft carriers, and on the one hand, they have used Italian production capacity to make up for this.

On the other hand, we started to build medium-sized aircraft carriers." Yang Yonglin said.

"And this is only counting Italy's production capacity. German and Austrian shipyards in the Balkans will soon be put into production. Their production capacity still has room to increase. However, the situation of our allies is not very optimistic. The United States and the United Kingdom have not completely escaped from the economic crisis.

In addition to the economic crisis, the French are unwilling to fulfill their obligations. In the next few years, the Allied fleet construction situation is not optimistic." Yang Yonglin added.

"It is definitely not possible to build 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers. Our budget is relatively tight. It may be difficult to increase military expenditures during non-war times, and there are many places to spend money. The number that can be increased is relatively limited. And heavy armor

The construction period of an aircraft carrier is a bit long. In peacetime, it takes about 3 years.

It is estimated that it will take about 18 months during wartime. We have to find other ways." Xu Jie said. Historically, the construction period of Essex during wartime was about 14 to 20 months. Now China's 30,000 tons

Class aircraft carriers are larger and more complex than the Essex, so the 18-month construction period is still very reasonable.

"Eighteen months. It's been a year and a half." Yang Yonglin sighed and said. "How many slipways will we be able to use by then? Excluding the slipways used for repair and maintenance of warships, as well as the slipways used to build other warships. We now probably have

Three slipways can build a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier, including naval and civilian plans in recent years.

It would be good to have six newly added large slipways by the time the war begins. In other words, the number of 30,000-ton aircraft carriers we can start building in a year will not exceed six. According to the one-and-a-half-year construction cycle, we

On average, the number of 30,000-ton armored aircraft carriers replenished per year will not exceed four. This is still an ideal situation."

"The number of slipways must be increased, and six is ​​definitely not enough. However, these things may be relatively far away. It is difficult to say how many slipways can be started at the same time." Xu Jie is quite satisfied with this result. You must know that in history, the United States was in 41

The number of Essex-type aircraft carriers started at the same time as 1942 and 1942 was only 5 to 6, and it was only increased to 9 in 1943. If China could start construction of 6 30,000-ton fleet aircraft carriers at the same time in the first year of the war,

In other words, this is already on the same level as the original American emperor. But even so, Xu Jie is still keenly aware of a problem, that is, the number of Essex-type aircraft carriers in the United States is not enough in history! And in this plane, China wants to

It is not enough to rely solely on armored aircraft carriers to support sea-based aviation power! After all, the United States has built a large number of independent-class light aircraft carriers against a third-rate power like Japan, and this time China has encountered an opponent several times more powerful than Japan!

"The decision to build a 30,000-ton armored aircraft carrier in peacetime is the right one, but in wartime, in addition to these armored aircraft carriers, we also urgently need warships with a shorter construction period and higher attack power. Even if they are just fragile,

But taking into account the needs of the front line and the construction cycle problem, I think that some light protected aircraft carriers of more than 10,000 tons should be built to bear the burden of relief.

It is necessary to release cap fighters and supplement the insufficient attack power." After all, the strategy of building armored aircraft carriers was set by Xu Jie, and now Yang Yonglin's opinion has obviously vetoed the other party's proposal to some extent. Xu Jie has always liked to go

The elite soldier route, but now it seems that the elite soldier route may not be enough. After all, quantity itself is a huge advantage.

"It was my lack of consideration. I originally thought that China, the United States, Britain and France could overwhelm their opponents with their accumulation during peacetime. The fall of Italy allowed the Germans to completely control the Mediterranean. The weakness of the French deprived us of another strong reinforcement.

.And the other party's production capacity also exceeded our estimate." Xu Jie nodded and said, indicating that he accepted Yang Yonglin's suggestion,

"Then the question now becomes, what are the standards for our mass-produced medium-sized aircraft carriers? How to improve combat effectiveness and defense as much as possible while taking into account economy and production cycle?" Yang Yonglin continued.

"If you come here to see me today, you will definitely have some ideas. You big guys from the Navy Department will definitely have some ideas. Let's talk about it. Today, I first brought my ears, then my brain, and finally my mouth. You

Say it confidently and boldly," Xu Jie said.

"It's not very mature yet. Generally speaking, it is to choose some relatively easy-to-build hulls to transform into aircraft carriers. For example, large cruise ships. And the hulls of some battleships can also be modified, such as light cruisers and heavy cruisers. According to calculations, a ten thousand

After the ton-class cruiser is converted into an aircraft carrier, the aircraft carrying capacity can reach more than 30. And the 15,000-ton heavy cruiser can carry more than 30 aircraft.

The aircraft carrier capacity of the converted aircraft carrier is completely comparable to that of our early aircraft carriers. The improved tonnage is about 17,000 tons, and it is even possible to arrange a double-layer hangar. As for the flight deck? It is 210 meters long and 27 meters wide.

It's still okay, although it's a little smaller, but it still has a certain amount of attack power. It's better than the previous one, but it's more than the lower one." Yang Yonglin said.

"Large cruise ships themselves are not easy to build, not to mention that cruise ships are civilian ships after all. The protection and compartment division of civilian ships cannot be compared with those of warships, and demolishing the superstructure to convert it into a hangar is also a huge workload. Although it can be

Use subsidies to build it according to the standards of military warships. The entire main deck can also be made into a straight-through type, but it is not economically feasible.

Not cost-effective. In the past, we had to do this due to treaty provisions, but now that the treaty no longer exists, there is no need to go to such trouble. In addition to the aircraft carrier reserve ships we prepared before, we do not need to build new reserve ships.

." Xu Jie first rejected the idea of ​​continuing to build an aircraft carrier reserve ship in the name of a large cruise ship because there is no need to hide it now.

"As for the other points you mentioned? I think they all have reference value. As for using the hull of a cruiser to transform an aircraft carrier? I think light cruisers are fine. These hulls are relatively long and narrow for high speed. Stability needs to be considered when arranging the flight deck.

sex and center of gravity. So

The deck will be narrower and shorter. In addition, I always have a hunch that in future wars, there will be no shortage of night battles and ground support operations. We need to maintain the number of cruisers. We can change the number of heavy cruisers. But don’t change it.

Too much." Xu Jie said.

"In addition, there is the catapult. The research and development of this thing needs to be stepped up. With the catapult, the launch capability of medium and light aircraft carriers will also be greatly increased. It can be said to be a combat power multiplier. But some parts we produce are never up to standard.

I wonder if we can contact the Americans and the British through diplomatic channels," Yang Yonglin added. Compared with the old British Empire, China still has a big gap in technological foundation.

"Go back and set up a liaison department one by one. All the external technical liaison related to the navy will be left to you. Don't ask me for such trivial matters." Xu Jie decisively delegated power.
