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

Taicang-class supply ship, a large comprehensive supply ship that entered service in 79 in New China, has a full load displacement of tons.

The superstructure is divided into two parts, front and rear. There are 4 oil and water supply stations and 2 dry cargo supply stations in the middle part. There is a helicopter landing platform at the rear of the ship, which can realize vertical supply, but there is no hangar.

When cruising at 18 knots, the endurance reaches nautical miles.

It can sail safely in a wind force of 12 and can sustain itself for 90 days!

The self-defense weapons consist of four Type 4 twin-mounted 76mm naval guns, and the fire control system ensures fully automatic shooting.

It can carry tons of fuel, 1000 tons of light diesel, 200 tons of replenishing water, 200 tons of drinking water and 50 tons of refrigerated food at a time.

An aircraft carrier has a fuel capacity of about tons, including fuel for carrier-based fighter jets. Its maximum cruising range when sailing at 20 knots can reach 8000 nautical miles.

Calculated from the eastern coast of the Tang Dynasty, the distance to the west coast of the United States is only 6000 nautical miles.

It is equivalent to a supply ship, which can provide a complete replenishment when the aircraft carrier is running low on fuel, and the aircraft carrier can travel back and forth across the Pacific Ocean once.

Perhaps because of its large displacement, the price of a single ship in the system reached 500 million military merit points.

They still have to be bought. Xu Le even thinks that before deploying nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, a dual conventional aircraft carrier formation must be equipped with three supply ships.

After all, in addition to the aircraft carriers, the destroyers and frigates in the formation also need to be replenished!

Two ships cost 1000 million military merit points.

With the overhaul of the surface ships, the naval aviation force was naturally established.

In addition to shore-based aviation, there is carrier-based aviation.

The J-15 is about as difficult to fly as the J-7, provided that one does not perform aerobatic maneuvers or delve too deeply into its electronic systems.

Otherwise, no one except the guards and Xu Le could control it perfectly.

It is said that Zheng Shaokuan is an old player. After serving as the commander of the aircraft carrier formation, he immediately used the privileges given by Xu Le to split his troops with Bai Shiyi.

One of them went to the base of Aviation Brigade 1 in Naypyidaw, and the other went to the base of Aviation Brigade 2 in Yuncheng, and they had a big fight with Wang Yuqi and the newly appointed commander of Aviation Brigade 2, Zhou Bingyan.

The conflict that broke out between the two sides involved hundreds of people, and of course, it was a verbal conflict!

The Air Force is reluctant to let go!

You know, in order to train the J-7 pilots, they worked day and night for the past few months, and the officers tried their best, but finally they barely trained 600 people, and there were only more than 100 first-level pilots.

Now the Navy comes and says they want to take half of it. Isn't that like cutting directly into the heart of the Air Force?'

The two sides argued for a long time, and finally Xu Tian stepped in and, based on Xu Le's handwritten order, released 40 first-level pilots and 160 second-level and third-level pilots.

It was barely enough. After all, the 100 guards that Xu Le took away from the headquarters were prepared for the aircraft carrier formation.

One guard is equivalent to 10 ordinary fighter pilots!

However, these pilots certainly cannot directly operate the J-15. They have to continue in-depth training for one month with the assistance of guard members.

The focus of training is take-off and landing on an aircraft carrier!

After all, the deck of an aircraft carrier is short, and the pilot's operating requirements are very high. If the altitude is not well controlled during landing, resulting in one of the four sets of arresting cables not being hooked, the fighter jet will have to instantly increase its horsepower to take off to avoid falling into the sea!

During the landing process, the J-15's flying speed must be maintained at at least 250 kilometers per hour. You can imagine how difficult it is!

.....

"Marshal, the situation seems bad. The Japanese seem to have noticed our intentions and have been sending reinforcements to Ceylon and the Malay Peninsula over the past month."

After being promoted to Deputy Chief of Staff, Fang Yue took care of everything himself and handled the deployment in Myanmar in an orderly manner.

"The Japanese lost two heavy cruisers and three destroyers at our hands. At least they know that our naval power cannot be underestimated. It is normal for them to send heavy troops to blockade our coastline!"

Xu Le didn't care. For any naval power, the best way before attacking a coastal country is to blockade the coastline and cut off contact with the outside world!

Fang Yue nodded: "Yes, but there is something else that is very strange!"

"what's up?"

Fang Yue took out a report and said, "This is a telegram sent by the United States to the world last night. The Japanese launched an attack on Pearl Harbor in the early morning three days ago, but the Japanese action was cracked by the United States in advance. The two sides launched a naval battle 200 nautical miles away from Pearl Harbor!"

Xu Le immediately became interested. The Japanese in this life were so arrogant and domineering that they even dared to take the initiative to attack the American base.

"What was the result? Which side won?"

Fang Yue shook his head slightly: "Japan deployed 6 aircraft carriers and more than 60 warships, a total of about 400 aircraft. The United States dispatched all the warships in the base, including about 8 warships including 100 aircraft carriers, a total of about 500 aircraft. In the end, the battle lasted for two days and two nights. After both sides lost several warships, Japan was the first to withdraw from the battlefield. The result is a draw!"

Hearing this, Xu Le frowned.

The America in this world is still a country rich in resources and strong in industry. Logically speaking, after more than a year of participation in the war, its military strength should have been restored and even strengthened several times.

This can be seen from the number of aircraft carriers and warships it has deployed.

But with the advantage in numbers and the intelligence available in advance, why did America still fail to win?

"Are you sure about the authenticity of this information? Is there any mistake?"

"Director Wei was also skeptical when he heard the news. He immediately confirmed it with the National Guard, and Mikoyan also confirmed it with the Soviet Union. Everyone got the same news! The scale of this battle was huge. It lasted for two days, but no aircraft carriers were lost, only a few warships. It sounds like child's play!"

Xu Le was stunned. He was completely stunned.

Has America in this life encountered some evil spirit?

Not only did they lose Midway, they also failed to win Pearl Harbor!

"Then America didn't pursue the Japanese fleet?"

"No, both parties went home!"

Xu Le really didn't know what to say now. A total of 14 aircraft carriers and 200 warships, and they were disbanded peacefully like this?

Are you conducting a massive military exercise?

"Wait? Military exercises?"

Xu Le's sudden murmur left Fang Yue confused: "Marshal, what military exercise are you talking about?"

"Nothing! By the way, has America made any moves recently? For example, has it sent troops to England or North Africa? Or has it sent troops and supplies to Australia?"

Fang Yue couldn't help but chuckle: "Marshal, you may have forgotten. If America had done something great, France wouldn't have come all the way to us for help. And even Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey have asked us for help!"

Xu Le was stunned again, because he had handed over the aid bill matters to Wei Li, and he was also very busy during this period, so he still didn't know which eight countries they were.

But when he heard it, he felt something was wrong.

"Please tell me clearly, besides France, which are the other seven countries?"

"In addition to the three I just mentioned, the other four are Spain, Portugal, Afghanistan, and Egypt."

Xu Le didn't know how many times he had been confused. Except for France, the other seven countries have not participated in the war so far and are neutral countries.

Even in previous lives, they either joined the war only when it was almost over, or remained neutral.

Now? They have teamed up to join the aid bill. What does this mean?

Does this mean that these countries feel the danger and are strengthening their strength in advance to prepare for the next war?
