Bright Sword: I am the old squad leader of the Northwest Shanxi Iron Triangle

Chapter 346 They are launching torpedoes

"We have the money to build these cargo ships. We just need to modify them a little bit, and this will be a standard medium-sized aircraft carrier, or even a heavy aircraft carrier."

"We just need destroyers to escort these aircraft carriers."

“If we discover the enemy’s fleet.

We flew dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of carrier-based aircraft over there.

The enemy's fleet would be bombed with torpedoes or heavy bombs.

How could these little devils bear this?"

As soon as Ling Yunzhi talked to these naval officers, they immediately realized that aircraft carriers were indeed a necessary weapon for the future navy.

Building a battleship with a water volume of tens of thousands of tons not only requires a lot of money, but also takes time and effort.

There is no use in creating it.

The current longest range of a battleship can reach 40 nautical miles.

The target 40 nautical miles away could not be seen clearly at all.

Although this naval gun can fire so far, whether it can hit the target is entirely up to fate.

Aircraft carriers are completely different.

Aircraft taking off from aircraft carriers can carry torpedoes weighing more than one ton.

One of these powerful torpedoes can destroy a 10,000-ton ship.

A battleship with a displacement of 40,000 to 50,000 tons would inevitably sink if it were hit by dozens of torpedoes.

After hearing this, the factory manager nodded repeatedly.

"Report to the commander. I had the honor to visit and learn from the Japanese shipyard with dozens of technical workers from the factory."

"Have you ever visited and studied at the Japanese shipyard?" Ling Yunzhi became even happier when he heard that.

"Yes, every year we select more than 20 people to visit and study at the Japanese shipyard.

The reason why the Japanese sent us to visit and study was that they hoped to train us into more powerful shipbuilding backbones.

We spent quite a while studying in the Japanese shipyard.

We, the backbone members, would spend at least two months every year in the Japanese shipyard.

We also saw the Japanese shipyard converting cargo ships into aircraft carriers.

Report to the commander, it is not difficult to convert a freighter into an aircraft carrier."

Ling Yunzhi became more and more excited as he listened.

It is indeed not difficult to convert an aircraft carrier into a cargo ship.

If a cargo ship with a displacement of 40,000 tons is converted into a large aircraft carrier, it can definitely take off and land dozens or even hundreds of fighter jets on it.

Aircraft carriers during World War II did not have much technological content.

And the so-called straight-through deck was made of nothing more than pine wood.

In this era, there were no arresting cables on aircraft carriers.

When the plane is landing, it will reduce the throttle. After the plane glides on the aircraft carrier for a period of time, it will stop naturally.

There is one biggest advantage in converting a cargo ship into an aircraft carrier.

That is, the freighter is empty, which can be used as a hangar for carrier-based aircraft.

All you need to do is add a few compartments in the middle of a cargo ship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons, install a few elevators, and then lay a straight deck.

Even the aircraft carriers specially built by the Japanese during World War II did not have high technological content.

The concept behind these aircraft carriers is similar to that of modified aircraft carriers.

Ling Yunzhi walked around the entire shipyard several times.

The scale of this shipyard needs to be expanded.

Now this shipyard is capable of building cargo ships of 40,000 to 50,000 tons.

But this kind of shipyard could not meet his needs at all.

As a time traveler, Ling Yunzhi wanted to build the shipyard to the same scale as the Jiangnan Shipyard.

By that time, more than a dozen warships weighing more than 10,000 tons could be built at a time.

"Your shipyard needs to be expanded. What I need is a shipyard that can build aircraft carriers, warships, and cargo ships."

"This shipyard has to be able to build both these warships and cargo ships."

The factory manager nodded after hearing this.

As an undercover agent of our party.

It is not easy to build a shipyard of this scale.

"Sir, I have the same idea, but what I lack now is money.

We are also short of technical personnel.

It would be easy if the number of technicians in our factory could be doubled or tripled.”

Ling Yunzhi nodded and confirmed that it was easy to do.

Where do the Russians have so much talent? Before World War I, the Russians could build battleships with a mass of more than 20,000 tons.

Ling Yunzhi also knew that in this era, many people went to Europe, America and New York to learn shipbuilding technology. Ever since the Beiyang Navy was completely defeated in the battle with the Japanese.

Many Chinese people have learned from their mistakes. They believe that only by learning advanced shipbuilding experience from abroad and building a world-class shipyard in China can they build real warships.

Ling Yunzhi also knew about the Midway-class aircraft carriers produced by the United States after World War II.

Its main designers and construction personnel are all Chinese.

There is no shortage of smart people among the Chinese.

The Chinese are just taking the ring. One chance, as long as they are given this. One chance, they will be able to build the strongest warship in the world.

"How much money do you need? Give me a list and I can get you all the money you need within two days.

Most of the Northeast has been controlled by me. The money you are short of is nothing to me.

I will gather all the money you need for you in the shortest possible time."

After hearing this, the factory manager nodded excitedly.

"I will also find a way to find you the technicians you lack. Remember, as long as you can build me a ship, I will provide you with whatever you want."

When the people at the shipyard heard this, they were all very excited. At this moment, there was a loud bang and a violent explosion at the dock.

The power of the explosion could be felt even in the shipyard.

The whole earth was shaking.

A warship was seriously damaged in the huge explosion.

While they were trying to figure out what was going on, the warship slowly sank.

"Sir, it must be the Japs."

Let these people rush to the distance regardless of everything, at this time, the sound of artillery fire was heard from the naval port again.

Rumbling explosions sounded one after another, and waves of water rose on the sea.

Ling Yun couldn't wait to jump on the truck and rushed to the dock at lightning speed.

At this time, Ling Yunzhi also realized what was going on. He stuck his head out of the car window and looked into the distance with a telescope.

No Japanese warships were found on the sea.

It's all blue.

It only means one thing, but the Japanese submarine has approached the military port.

The Japanese submarine launched torpedoes inside the military port.

The beasts are just too bad.
