spnAfter more than ten years of key construction, the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base has become the most important naval base in New China by virtue of its unique geographical location, easy defense and difficult attack, and easy to carry out security work.

In addition to the squadron of the South China Sea Fleet and a submarine force named Dragon God Force after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the rest of the entire naval base is a certain department of coastal defense, a certain Marine Corps station in the South China Sea, shipyards, and supporting industries. In recent years,

, due to the needs of the large-scale shipbuilding industry, Horseshoe Bay has initially

The scale of the city, the construction of large thermal power stations, and the establishment of many supporting factories for shipyards have not only settled a large number of soldiers and workers' families, but also made this Horseshoe Bay, close to Fangchenggang City, a military industry along the coast of Guangxi.

Xinxing's scale has exceeded that of some counties in the mainland.

As a very large naval base, the importance of Horseshoe Bay Naval Base is self-evident. Officials from the Navy and the Ministry of National Defense often come here to supervise work on weekdays. There are even commissioners from the Ministry of National Defense stationed here.

However, Zhang Shusheng's arrival still made the nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Horseshoe Bay extremely happy.

After a brief speech at the airport, Zhang Shusheng went straight to the huge warship anchored in the port as if he was traveling with his wife and daughter. This new aircraft carrier has already undergone sea trials and will officially join active service just waiting for Zhang Shusheng's arrival, becoming the first Chinese Navy aircraft carrier.

Task Force 2. In the shipyard next to it, the No. 2 ship, which is 66% complete, is also under construction and is expected to be launched into service the year after next.[

Zhang Shusheng took He Ning, accompanied by Cai E and Deng Haoqian, and followed the commander of the Horseshoe Bay Base, Rear Admiral Xu Jinguang, aboard this aircraft carrier, which represents the highest level of shipbuilding technology in the Republic.

"Chairman, during the construction of this new ship, we followed the advice of shipbuilding experts and first adopted a 'modular production method' to produce the deck, superstructure, etc. as parts. Then we overcame many difficulties and achieved

The internally designed watertight subdivisions. Looking at the entire warship, it has strong anti-strike capabilities and very good seaworthiness."

"Well, such an aircraft carrier is what our navy is looking forward to." Zhang Shusheng nodded and patted the chart table in front of him. It can be seen that a lot of hard work was put into the construction of the entire warship, and the details are also very detailed.

good.

In fact, when the project for this large aircraft carrier was originally established, it was based on the Midway-class aircraft carrier that the U.S. Navy would launch in 1945, the original historical time and space. It was a super large aircraft carrier with a displacement of 45,000 tons and nearly a hundred aircraft. However, according to intelligence, the American aircraft carrier

Construction has also begun to accelerate. From the Germans and Soviets, and even the Chinese and Japanese who are frantically building new ships, the United States, a giant that straddles the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans ruthlessly, feels the crisis.

In the final analysis, the source of everything is the Chinese, the Germans who were made stronger by the butterfly effect of the Chinese, and of course the Japanese and British who failed many times in front of China. Then, they challenged each other together

A world-class arms race has begun.

The whole new ship looks very beautiful. The design abandons the now popular method of dragging a wooden deck on top of warships. Instead, it adopts a fully enclosed and fully open deck design, using new deck steel, which is lighter but lighter.

It is extremely strong. It has a sealed design under the deck, and there are a sufficient number of elevators on both sides for the use of fighter aircraft in the elevator hangar. The entire aircraft carrier looks somewhat similar to the Midway class that the Americans began to launch intensively around 1945 after the end of World War II.

"Our design is similar to a new aircraft carrier that the Americans just registered and approved last year, but ours is more advanced." Regarding this new ship, Xu Jinguang said proudly, "Because we have to consider medium-sized bombers on the ship, ours

The angled deck is specially configured with a ski-jump take-off angle, which can meet the take-off and landing requirements of the scaled-down T-32 Thor bomber designed by the Aircraft Design Institute for the Navy, which is internally named the HT-35 Poseidon bomber. The cost of this bomber

It is higher than Thor because it uses a lot of new materials to maintain the reduced weight of 2 to 3 tons while ensuring that it can take off and land safely on this new ship."

The establishment of the ht-35 Poseidon bomber project was ordered by Zhang Shusheng. In his previous life, he was extremely impressed by the Americans using B-25 bombers to take off from aircraft carriers and attack the Japanese mainland. In order to attack Tokyo, the US military even removed all unnecessary things on the bombers, including

The aviation machine guns have been removed, and even the auxiliary fuel tanks are not dared to be carried. This kind of embarrassment makes him worried that it will appear on the Chinese Navy's aircraft carriers in the future. It is necessary to design a navy-specific bomber with sufficient capacity and range.

This is a smaller version of the T-33 Thor bomber that has reduced its weight, shortened its wingspan, and reduced its mass: Although the HT-35 Poseidon bomber cannot bomb a moving fleet due to its high-altitude flight, it can be very efficient.

It will be even more unfavorable to deal with large targets, especially ports and parked warships, and to attack the enemy's homeland at sea.

This is perfect for using aircraft carriers to extend the combat range of medium range medium bombers.

Immediately, Xu Jinguang introduced some basic data of this large ship. The standard displacement is 41,500 tons, and the full displacement is 51,000 tons. It includes a deck of 3,053 meters long and 425 meters wide, with 35 fighter jets parked on the deck and 10 on combat duty.

There are still dozens of aircraft in the hangar, and the total number of aircraft has reached 95. Of course, if Poseidon bombers are put on the ship, this number of 95 will not be reached at all.

In addition to the Poseidon bombers, the large aircraft on the new aircraft carrier also include the newly developed Sky Falcon 2 radar early warning aircraft. This type of aircraft is no smaller than the Poseidon bomber. The fleet's long-range warning missions include medium-range warning on the upper part of the island.

Radar, that's it. After all, the reliability of today's radar is far less than that of Zhang Shusheng's later generations. Only a double-layer early warning network in the air and on warships can ensure that the aircraft carrier fleet is not "touched" by others.

You know, in the original history, during the Pearl Harbor incident, American radar even mistook the Japanese aircraft for a large flock of birds, but mistook them for a group of bombers returning from the mainland. In short, the reliability was as "reliable" as that

As the Navy Vice Admiral put it, "their only purpose is to confuse airplanes with seabirds."

Deng Haoqian took over Xu Jinguang's introduction and reported to Zhang Shusheng, "Chairman of the Standing Committee, according to your instructions, this new ship will be incorporated into the second aircraft carrier task force. After the second ship of the same type is completed and launched the year after next, they will form

The aircraft carrier battle group of the two-ship formation, the supporting Chongqing-class modified air defense cruiser and the Guilin-class modified anti-submarine destroyer are all under construction step by step.

According to the established plan, our fleet can also incorporate a Dragon God squadron of five submarines during operations. However, once ocean operations are carried out, the current navy's submarines cannot keep up with the speed of the fleet and are not suitable for rapid assault battles.

But it can be used for covert raids.

Chairman, you see, parked there are two Chongqing-class improved air defense cruisers and four Guilin-class anti-submarine-modified destroyers, as well as two 10,000-ton supply ships, which are the formation ships of this new ship."

"Not bad, the second task force that is very exciting."

Submarines cannot keep up with the speed of the fleet. Of course, Zhang Shusheng knew that although the ocean-going submarines of World War II seemed to be able to run thousands of nautical miles, their sailing speeds were incredibly slow. Even if China's submarine development was much faster, it would still be difficult to overcome this problem.

A huge bottleneck. However, if submarines are used well, like the Germans and Japanese, they can be very useful and can be used for underwater hunting and encirclement and annihilation of fleets.

Everyone also visited the engine room on the lower level of the aircraft carrier. Zhang Shusheng even shook hands with more than 20 dark-faced sailors who were working in the boiler room. They were also preparing for the inauguration ceremony of the new aircraft carrier that would start at 3 p.m.

Make preparations.[

"Chairman, this, this is too dirty." A boiler soldier had just maintained a boiler and was covered in heavy oil. He shrank back slightly and did not dare to shake hands with Zhang Shusheng.

"It's not dirty. You stay here every day, and you are not afraid of being dirty or tired. I am the chairman of the committee, but I am also a human being. I rarely come here once in ten years, so it is appropriate for me to see you." The reason why Zhang Shusheng insisted on going to the boiler room to see

See, it was mainly because the working environment of these sailors was the most miserable and tiring on the ship, and they faced all kinds of dangers, that he insisted on taking a look.

After looking at it again, Zhang Shusheng went to the sailor canteen on the aircraft carrier and ate with the sailors. The lunch was at the usual standard, because the new ship was officially commissioned and the quality had improved. But when Zhang Shusheng tasted it, he found that the braised pork was

,roasted beef with potatoes

The meat, twice-cooked pork, spinach and other meat and vegetables all taste good, and the soy milk tastes refreshing. But he also knows that these are all in ports and offshore. Once fighting in the ocean, what the sailors eat most is warehouse cabbage, radish and

Frozen meat.

At 1:30 noon, the deck of the new aircraft carrier was full of sailors, and the port was crowded with soldiers and civilians at the base, waiting for the speech of the head of state whom they admired.

"Comrades, it is all thanks to you that I am able to come here today and see such a majestic warship. Because of your hard work day and night, the Republic's naval armament plan can proceed smoothly.

The rise of the Republic was by no means smooth sailing, and imperialism's desire to self-defeat never completely died.

To the north of us, the Red Soviet Russia has millions of troops, thousands of aircraft, and more than 5,000 tanks. Their huge number of factories can even produce more than these numbers in a year. There are also

Germany, their Nazi "government" is expanding its military on a large scale. Millions of Nazi troops have been receiving the most Nazi-style training in military camps. The same goes for the British, Americans, and Japanese, who are all going crazy without exception.

They built warships and expanded their armaments frantically to prepare for war.

Including myself, I always hope that the progress of civilization can rely on peace. But historical facts tell us that the survival of the fittest in civilization is determined by war. All countries, including China, feel an unprecedented intensity of war.

The atmosphere, it was a war cloud that had never been so severe since World War I.

People feel that the war is coming and are making preparations. In the era when the war is coming, no country wants to fall behind. New China cannot fall behind and be eliminated and become an imperial power. The great powers are sitting in negotiations again.

A gourmet feast shared at the table.

New China has just been founded. In these years of wasteful development, we built New China with our own hands, just as you built this big ship with your own hands. You can imagine the hardships involved.

As the top leader of the Republic, I want to thank you and the millions of workers like you, whether they are farmers, workers, or businessmen, as long as they are working hard for the rejuvenation of China, they all deserve my gratitude.

When war comes, we need a strong navy, and a strong navy needs strong aircraft carriers. The era of battleships has passed. Our newly launched aircraft carrier will be one of the strongest forces defending China. It and its partners will become

The Great Sea Steel Wall of the Republic can be attacked when advancing, and defended when retreating. Wherever the aircraft carrier fleet goes, it is invincible, protecting our Chinese people and ensuring the health of our great people...

Now, I officially announce that the aircraft carrier launched this time will be named Huangdi, and the sister ship of Huangdi that our comrades are building will be named Yandi.

The future will prove that Emperors Yan and Huang will become the leading aircraft carriers of the Navy of the Republic, declare China’s new global maritime rights to the world, re-follow the path of Zheng He, spread civilization, and shape the prosperity of the maritime country."

"Rumble..."

As Zhang Shusheng finished his speech, the two Chongqing-class anti-aircraft cruisers already anchored outside the port raised their only 210mm main gun muzzles and fired at the airspace outside the sea, playing the sound of the Yellow Emperor and the Chinese Navy's first

The clarion call for the formal formation of the Second Task Force.

"Every parade group, board the plane"

As the officers of the Huangdi opened the pilot's access hatch, they loudly ordered the pilots to board the plane. The pilots, who had been preparing for a long time, ran quickly towards the aircraft that had been parked on the deck like tigers coming out of their cages.

Thirty fighter planes, ten HH-2 naval bombers, and 20 HJ-2 fighter jets have been filled with fuel. Among them, 10 ships and aircraft are arranged in five rows and are among the first batch to take off.

"call"

Seeing that the preparations were completed, the signalman on the aircraft carrier deck next to the fighter plane waved the flag in his hand toward the front of the flight deck and shouted loudly. The naval pilot who had been prepared immediately started the fighter plane, accelerated quickly, and quickly passed through the flight center on the deck.

line, rushed towards the slightly raised bow of the ship, and then jumped easily and flew into the air.

"Long live the Republic..." [

"Long live the Chairman of the Generalissimo, long live the Yellow Emperor..."

…

Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians near the port cheered in unison. Although they had long been used to seeing fighter jets taking off from aircraft carriers, this moment still made them burst into tears. More than five years of hard work finally saw results on this day. They worked hard.

Finally, the Republic was given a new aircraft carrier.

Looking at the Yellow Emperor at his feet, and then looking up at the naval aviation fighter planes flying overhead during the military parade, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh to He Ning beside him, "Fifty years ago, we looked at the ocean and sighed. Fifty years ago, the West

Strong ships and powerful guns make it difficult for us to sleep and eat well.

At that time, we were eagerly looking forward to Western warships. In the vast Northern Ocean, we spent money but could not buy a real navy. Fifty years later, we relied on our own hands and spent five years to create our own world-leading navy.
