Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

After hearing Liu Huaqing's analysis, both Mr. Wu and Jiang Chaoyang fell silent.

Liu Huaqing's words are well-reasoned and hard not to be convinced.

However, Mr. Wu and Jiang Chaoyang felt that something was wrong.

Although Fang Yu was not from the navy, as a weapons designer, it was impossible for him not to understand the principles Liu Huaqing said.

But he still made such an assurance. Does that mean that this ship is really completely different from the previous warships?

After all, before Fang Yu created the JF-17 fighter jet, there had never been a case where a single fighter jet could defeat an entire Eagle Sauce flight formation, right?

"Comrade Hua Qing, what you just said makes a lot of sense."

"However, Comrade Fang Yu must have his own considerations when he said this."

"In that case, why don't we just give him a call and let you two experts communicate directly? What do you think?"

After a moment of silence.

Mr. Wu spoke calmly while patting the armrest of the sofa next to him.

"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Wu's suggestion is good!"

"Don't they say that the truth becomes clearer the more it is debated?"

"If you have any questions, why not ask Fang Yu in person?"

"I'll call Fang Yu back right now!"

Hearing Mr. Wu's proposal, Jiang Chaoyang nodded, and without waiting for Liu Huaqing to react, he directly dialed the special line of the Great Wall Military Factory.

"Mr. Jiang? Have you thought about it so quickly?"

A moment later, Fang Yu's surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Haha, what are you thinking about?"

"But it won't be difficult to get me to approve your plan."

"I still have a few questions. If you can explain them to me clearly, I can make a decision on the spot!"

After Jiang Chaoyang finished speaking, he roughly repeated to Fang Yu what Liu Huaqing had just said.

When Fang Yu heard that the person asking these questions was Liu Huaqing, he was stunned for a moment.

It wasn't that he was stumped by these questions.

Before this, he had guessed that some people within the navy would be full of doubts about this arsenal ship, so he had prepared all the relevant information.

The reason why he was so surprised was because of Liu Huaqing himself.

In my timeline, every military fan knows General Liu.

The photo of him standing on tiptoe, leaning forward, and looking at the Eagle Sauce ship-borne helicopter with a longing face has long been known to everyone.

At the same time, it was under the strong advocacy of this 66-year-old old man who took over as the commander-in-chief of the Longguo Navy that Longguo’s aircraft carrier plan was put on the agenda!

It can be said that General Liu Huaqing is the father of the Dragon Country's aircraft carrier!

Facing this famous senior from the Dragon Navy, if it were any other time, Fang Yu would never argue with him.

However, for the development of the Dragon Kingdom Navy, Fang Yu had to refute General Liu's words even if he was reluctant.

"Mr. Liu's words are generally correct."

"However, some things are still taken for granted."

After a moment's silence, Fang Yu spoke lightly.

"Then comparing my Arsenal Ship to Sakura's crappy Yamato, I think it's an insult to my ship!"

Upon hearing this, both Mr. Wu, Jiang Chaoyang and Liu Huaqing were stunned.

Fang Yu's tone seems a bit too loud, doesn't it?

The Yamato is, after all, the number one battleship on Blue Planet!

In order to deal with it, the Eagle Sauce mobilized more than 3 heavy aircraft carriers and more than 50 fighter jets to kill it!

Your arsenal ship hasn't even been established yet, and you already look down on the Yamato?

"The Yamato was essentially just an extension of the 'big gun' weapon design of the ironclad warship. Apart from being more powerful and protected than the warships of the First World War, it was essentially no different."

At this time, Fang Yu's voice sounded again.

"But no matter how big your cannon is, how far can it reach?"

"It's only 30-40 kilometers at most."

"Besides, in such a turbulent situation at sea, a hit rate of 20%-30% is a blessing!"

"And what tactics did Eagle Sauce use?"

"Aircraft carrier space plus cruiser!"

"Although the current carrier-based aircraft firepower is still somewhat insufficient, the attack range has been increased from 30-0-40 kilometers of naval guns to 100-150 kilometers!"

“It’s increased three or four times!”

"This put the Yamato in an awkward position where it could only passively defend but was unable to attack the enemy."

"With a battle like this, who else would lose if not Sakura?!"

"But the arsenal ship I proposed to build is on another level."

"The missiles carried by this arsenal ship have a maximum range of over 200 kilometers and a hit rate of 70%!"

"In other words, the combat radius of my ship has exceeded that of an ordinary aircraft carrier."

"We can attack the aircraft carriers before they even spot our ship!"

"The main point is a guaranteed profit!"

"And Eagle, who originally had the advantage in attack range, will be in the same predicament as Sakura, passively taking the beating and unable to fight back."

After hearing what Fang Yu said, even Liu Huaqing didn't know how to refute him.

After all, what Fang Yu said does make sense.

What is naval warfare fought for?

Isn’t it just about range and hit rate?

Why did China lose so badly in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894?

Isn’t it because the hit rate is too low and the range is insufficient?

According to post-war statistics, the hit rate of the Daqin Navy was less than 5%.

Of course, Sakura's fleet's hit rate was not high, only 7%-8%, but it was this small 2% difference that completely reversed the situation!

This is especially true in terms of range.

Although the theoretical range of the Daqin Navy's naval guns can reach about 7800 meters, due to the lack of a rangefinder, the actual range can only reach about 2000 meters.

Although the range of Sakura's warship's guns was short, it had the most advanced Wu-style rangefinder at the time, so its range could reach over 4000 meters!

It was precisely because of the relationship between hit rate and range that the Daqin Navy was ultimately wiped out after this battle.

And now, the arsenal ship designed by Fang Yu has a range of over 200 kilometers!

The hit rate reached an astonishing 70%!

With these two advantages, it might be possible to successfully fight a fleet with just one ship...

However, as soon as this thought appeared in Liu Huaqing's mind, he immediately put it behind him.

A question also arose in his mind.

"Director Fang, the arsenal ship you designed might actually be able to achieve the firepower you described."

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"What do you do once the enemy survives your first wave of attacks?"

"Even with the Yamato's heavy armor, it only lasted less than three hours under the overwhelming bombardment of the Eagle Sauce."

"And the arsenal ship you designed is more like a giant powder keg compared to the Yamato."

"If the enemy attacks, the ammunition stored on this warship will probably blow it to pieces!"

"With such an obvious weakness, let alone using this ship to fight against the Eagle Sauce fleet, I'm afraid it won't even be able to leave the port..."
