Chapter 1625 Chapter 1626 The battle that determines sea control

The dwarves have their own aircraft carriers, but these aircraft carriers are too backward compared to the aircraft carriers used by the Tang Army.

Basically, with the exception of the Tang Army's aircraft carrier, the aircraft carriers used by countries around the world were of World War II-era technology that did not even have steam catapults.

These wooden-deck aircraft carriers have only a straight flight deck, no advanced arresting cable equipment, and no landing assistance system.

Of course, they don't have angled decks, and most don't even use side elevators: many aircraft carriers have elevators right in the middle of the deck, which seriously affects the efficiency of the deck.

Why not improve these issues? Because compared with the real core problems, the backward and outdated technologies mentioned above are just innocuous and small problems.

The navies of various countries do not have reliable electronic systems that cannot be suppressed by interference. Their communication and radar systems cannot be used in the confrontation with the Tang Army.

This is equivalent to being a blind and deaf swordsman. How much threat can this state pose? I'm afraid it's almost like a joke.

What's even more ridiculous is that this swordsman's sword... isn't sharp either. If I had to compare it, what he was holding was more like a wooden stick.

Except for the Tang Army, all naval carrier-based aircraft in the world are propeller-type. Some use Zero carrier-based aircraft, and some use various American aircraft.

Whether they are Japanese or American, these aircraft are technologies sold by the Tang Empire. The commanders of the Tang Army know exactly how much they weigh and what they can do.

In fact, there is no need to know so clearly, because there is a huge generation gap in the combat effectiveness of the two sides. Under such a generation gap, those expensive and sophisticated naval aircraft for countries around the world are actually just scrap metal.

The elves also have aircraft carriers, and their aircraft carriers also use the technology of the dwarf aircraft carrier generation. Their approximate level is no different from that of Akagi Shokaku and the like.

At the high end, you can touch the tail of an Essex class, and at the low end, it's the level of Japanese crispy chicken. Moreover, the basic design ideas and core power units of these aircraft carriers are actually drawings provided by Datang Group.

The radars used on these ships all come from a radar company in Dorne. The owner of this company is famous in the arms trading market of the Eastern Continent. His name is Pan Yiping, and he is a man who can steal some key technologies from the Datang Group. Cruel people.

The radar performance provided by this boss is quite good, at least ten years ahead of the equipment produced by various countries. With such technical advantages, Pan Yiping's radar company has achieved great success.

Against the background of this story, Datang Group has a clear understanding of the technical characteristics and signal frequency bands of radars used by naval vessels of these countries.

In the past, if the navies of various countries wanted to passively avoid war, they only needed to hang out at sea to throw off their opponents and avoid the fate of being attacked.

The Tang army had spent a lot of time and energy searching for the enemy fleet that was avoiding the battle. Now, such a thing seemed to be impossible to happen again, because the Tang country's artificial satellites were flying all over the sky. In a few weeks, Bernard had confirmed the specific location of the dwarf navy fleet. The only reason he didn't go there to massacre them was that the Tang army's fleet had to cover the landing and maintain air superiority over the landing area, so they had no time to leave.

Now they have handed over the task to the Air Force, so the entire fleet only has the auxiliary task of "protecting maritime transportation".

With the technological advantages of the Tang Empire, escort was actually very simple. The opponent's submarines pose no threat at all, so there is almost no pressure.

Then annihilating the enemy fleet has become the only thing that Bernard cares about now: anyway, as long as the enemy fleet is completely annihilated, then the escort mission will be almost completed.

In order to add some drama to themselves, the navy even took the initiative to take over tasks such as attacking enemy port cities, destroying the opponent's naval submarine base, and paralyzing the opponent's ship maintenance and manufacturing capabilities.

There is no way, it is too complicated. The Army has begun to expand the battlefield, and the Air Force has gradually launched strategic attacks. If the Navy does not work hard, it is very likely that it will be completely marginalized.

After all, in Bernard's view, after the landing operation is completed, the Endless Sea is likely to become the inner lake of the Tang Empire. Under such circumstances, the importance of the navy has been significantly reduced. If he does not work hard, he may become the first retired marshal in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

In the waters near Rewind Port, the size of the combined coalition fleet is actually not small. There are two aircraft carriers from the dwarves and three aircraft carriers from the elves, plus seven or eight battleships, a dozen cruisers and more than thirty destroyers. How come It’s all spectacular to look at.

But everyone knows that such a fleet actually has no actual combat effectiveness. When facing the navy of the Tang Empire, they are no different from being helpless.

Compared with the slow progress of the army, the navy's maneuvers are actually relatively fast. The remaining fleet of Dorne Navy has also arrived in the nearby waters. They have two old aircraft carriers, two battleships and more than ten escort ships.

Coupled with seven supply ships, this relatively small fleet has been hiding in the waters near Bunas and moved north quite quickly after receiving orders.

The reason why Dorne decided to send half of the battleships north is also very simple. These large battleships are actually of little use. In addition to their ocean-going maneuverability, their combat effectiveness is not significantly improved compared to torpedo boats.

So it is better to simply send it to the coalition forces as a favor, which can be regarded as showing an attitude, an attitude of uniting to fight against the Tang State.

Like the elves and dwarves, Dorne's aircraft carrier technology is not very good. Moreover, these two early experimental aircraft carriers were built earlier and the technology is more backward. They can only carry about 80 carrier-based aircraft, and these carrier-based aircraft are not advanced.

If you include Dorne's fleet heading north, the coalition fleet has 7 aircraft carriers, equipped with about 500 carrier-based aircraft, more than 80 escort ships including battleships, and more than 20 supply ships...

In comparison, the Tang army's troops heading south were not as huge as imagined. In order to ensure continued combat capabilities, half of the Tang Army's aircraft carriers have returned to the state of maintenance or supply repair.

The remaining aircraft carriers also had to maintain route security and ensure that the coastline and ports were not disturbed, so this time Bernard "only" brought four aircraft carriers to the battle. It can also be seen from here that even Navy Marshal Bernard did not take this battle seriously, and the Tang Navy did not even gather symbolically.
