Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

Xu Le summed up the New China in his previous life in eight words.

If it doesn't make a sound, it's a blockbuster.

New China had been forbearing in the first few decades, slowly absorbing and developing technology, so that many countries thought that New China was easy to bully.

It was not until after several major wars that the army of New China established its invincibility.

In the 21st century, with the successive launch of fighter jets such as the J-16 and J-20, and heavy strategic bombers such as the H-6N, the air force of New China has leapt into the world's top ranks.

Then in just a few years, with the commissioning of the latest 055 and 052D destroyers, and the commissioning of three aircraft carriers including the amphibious assault ship and 001, the New China Navy has become a force that can compete with the ocean overlord, the United States Navy.

But now Xu Le is really in trouble. The price springboard of the system is based on the 90s. The further back in time, the more outrageous the price becomes.

For example, the Marine Corps' Type 63A amphibious tank costs 20 yuan each, while the Type 69 main battle tank costs only 5000 yuan.

New China's first Type 001 aircraft carrier was delivered to the navy in 2012 at a price of million military merit points per carrier, which is a sky-high price.

One fortunate thing is that the Type 002 and Type 003 aircraft carriers were put into service only 10 years apart, and their prices were not much different, but they also reached million and million respectively.

The price of the 004 nuclear-powered aircraft carrier has reached 005 million yuan, and Xu Le dare not go down the price of the model.

Another troublesome point is that New China's first carrier-based fighter jet was put into service with the aircraft carrier in 2012. It is the J-15 carrier-based fighter jet, which costs 500 million yuan per unit.

This also means that whether it is an aircraft carrier or a carrier-based aircraft, there is almost no choice, and the starting price is 500 million and million.

"Xu Da, no matter which one we choose, I can only afford one with my remaining military merit points. Which one do you think we should choose for our first aircraft carrier?"

In the end, Xu Le once again threw this difficult selection problem to Xu Da.

Xu Da answered without thinking: "Marshal, let's go with the Type 001! Just like the J-5 of the Air Force, we must give the Navy a transition period to let them adapt to this change!"

"That's true. The Type 001 aircraft carrier is very different from the current aircraft carriers. This is a big leap. But I don't choose Type 001. I choose Type 002."

Xu Le knew that the aircraft carrier that New China really used for transition was the Type 002 aircraft carrier. To put it bluntly, the Type 001 was just used to absorb aircraft carrier manufacturing technology.

Xu Le stretched out his slightly trembling right hand and clicked the button to purchase a ship. The balance of military merit points instantly decreased by 120 million.

In an instant, a huge aircraft carrier appeared out of nowhere on the water without causing any ripples.

The huge size of the aircraft carrier stunned Xu Le, who had never seen an aircraft carrier in person.

The Irrawaddy River is navigable from Myitkyina downwards, with waters varying in depth. Only ships with a draft of less than 5 meters can navigate between the river and Mandalay.

Further down from Mandalay, although the draft depth has increased a bit, it is still impossible to operate an aircraft carrier with a draft depth of more than 10 meters, and there is a risk of running aground.

Therefore, this time Xu Le specifically found a hidden location near the Port of Yangon to deploy the aircraft carrier. Although the risk was high, there was no other choice.

The Type 002 aircraft carrier is 315 meters long, 75 meters wide, has a draft of 10 meters, an empty displacement of 5.7 tons, a full load displacement of 7 tons, and a maximum speed of 31 knots.

动力为8台蒸汽轮机，共20万匹马力。9组1500千瓦的涡轮发电机和4组1500千瓦的柴油发电机，18节巡航时的续航为7000海里。

Under extreme conditions, it can carry 48 carrier-based fighter jets, or reduce the number of fighter jets and replace them with helicopters.

The ship's self-defense weapons consist of three sets of 3 close-in weapon systems. Each gun has a firing rate of nearly 1130 rounds per minute and can automatically lock onto 1 targets at the same time.

另外还有3套24单元的红旗10近程防空导弹，射程10千米，射高18千米，10秒钟就能锁定空中目标。

4座12管300毫米反潜火箭深弹发射器，2座8管烟幕弹发射器和干扰弹发射器。

Including carrier-based fighter jets, there are actually only four types of weapons on an aircraft carrier. But despite the small number and variety, it is a devastating blow to the world today.

The 002 aircraft carrier is equipped with a 346A four-sided array phased array radar system, which has a detection range of 400 kilometers for air targets and can track 300 targets simultaneously.

In addition, it also has advanced active phased array detection radar, but due to the curvature of the ground, the maximum detection distance for large ships, such as battleships and aircraft carriers, is only 100 kilometers.

According to his memory, even in today's England and America, the detection range of their ships for large targets at sea is no more than 30 kilometers.

In comparison, the 002 aircraft carrier and the other 051 destroyers can detect targets in advance and launch attacks, thus taking the initiative into their hands.

Therefore, Xu Le does not plan to equip carrier-based early warning aircraft for the time being.

All of them are directly equipped with J-15 fighter jets.

The J-15 fighter is a fourth-generation, single-seat, twin-engine carrier-based fighter.

It has a total length of 22 meters, a wingspan of 15 meters, and its wings can be folded to save usable space on the aircraft carrier deck.

The empty weight is 17 tons, the maximum take-off weight reaches 32 tons, and the maximum load capacity is 8 tons.

The maximum flight speed is 2.4 Mach, the ceiling is 2 meters, the maximum endurance is 3500 kilometers, and the combat radius can reach 1400 kilometers.

In addition to a 23mm cannon on the right side of the nose, the fighter also has 12 external attachment points, 8 of which are heavy attachment points.

可挂载霹雳8、霹雳9近程空空导弹或霹雳12中程空空导弹，以及鹰击8、鹰击62、鹰击91、鹰击83K等反舰导弹，还可挂载‘雷石’系列制导炸弹、空地88导弹和火箭弹，可谓是拥有对海陆空，三面打击的能力。

However, due to design factors, although the J-15 can take off with a full load, it can only carry a maximum of four missiles when landing on an aircraft carrier.

This means that before landing, if there are extra missiles on the attachment points that are not used, they must be thrown into the sea.

However, the J-15's radar system is a Type 1471 digital pulse Doppler fire control radar system, which has a maximum detection range of 300 kilometers for air targets. It can track 20 targets at the same time and guide 6 air-to-air missiles to attack at the same time.

Moreover, since the J-15 is flying at high altitude, the impact of ground curvature can be greatly reduced, so the detection distance of sea and land can also reach a very far distance.

This is another important reason why Xu Le did not equip the aircraft carrier with early warning aircraft, because the aircraft carrier itself has advantages, and fighter jets can also serve as early warning radars in an emergency.

Purchase 30 aircraft, store them in the system space first, and consume 1.5 million military merit points.

I dare not buy too much, I have to save some to buy warships, trucks, etc.

Because like bombers, missiles are not the only essential weapons, the system does not provide matching missiles, only rockets, and even the "Thunder Stone" guided bombs are not available.

Fortunately, the system only has 90s restrictions on the equipment itself, not on the ammunition.

Moreover, the PL-8 missile was successfully developed in the 80s. Although the price is a bit expensive, it is not outrageous.

Unlike anti-ship missiles, which cost 200 million each.
