1825 My New Daming

Chapter 431 Is Willingness!This is a gamble for industrialized rich men! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)
Compared with the Australian mainland, the main force of the British Royal Navy is of course a more valuable target!

If you save the land and lose the ship, you will lose both the land and the ship; if you save the ship and lose the land, you will save both the ship and the land!

The main force of the British Royal Navy is still there, so the Australian campaign will be difficult to proceed with peace of mind, and the main force of the Pacific Fleet covering the landing force will also have to worry about being attacked by the British.
But if the main force of the British Royal Navy, that is, the Indian Ocean Fleet, is wiped out.Then the Australian mainland has become a super-large isolated island, isolated and helpless, and it has no industrial foundation, and even a small population.It can only rely on the troops who came to the island before and the supplies they hoarded to fight. Isn't it a matter of time before the whole army is wiped out?
Therefore, the joint general staff of the Ming Navy and Army naturally put the main force of the Royal Navy in the first position to be eliminated, and the capture of Australia can only be ranked second.

Now that the number one target has been dispatched, there is nothing to say, of course they will be eliminated.

Maybe if the Indian Grand Fleet is destroyed, Princess Victoria of the British Empire will lie flat. By then, the British will become "Zhu Ying", will Australia still be a problem?

"Generate power to the general staff," Zhuge Weidao of course knows what the overall situation is, and he said to Guo Xiaobao, "The Pacific Fleet will consist of six aircraft carriers: Guangdong, Guangxi, Liaoxi, Jilin, Heilongjiang, and Beihai. The First Aviation Team, conduct long-range maneuvers to the Southern Luzon Islands!"

"Yes, Junmen!"

Guo Xiaobao recorded Zhuge Weidao's dictated order on the Internet, and after Zhuge Weidao read it and signed it, he handed it over to a staff officer, who asked the latter to go to the radio station to generate electricity for the General Staff in Beijing.

Zhuge Weidao set his sights on Lieutenant General Ma Xuchen who had just stepped down as the admiral of the naval aviation. He is now the commander-in-chief of the first division of the Pacific Fleet-now the surface fleets under the various large fleets of the Ming Navy have "detachments", " There are two different establishments of the clan.Among them, the "detachment" is the daily management unit organized by the ships waiting at the home port according to the different types of ships-it is easy to manage the same type of ships together!The "team" is a temporary organization when a mission is launched, and it is a mixture of various ships - only when they are mixed together can they cooperate!
Therefore, the "detachment commander" is a permanent position, usually held by a vice admiral or a major general.The "team admiral" is a temporary position, usually held concurrently by the "detachment commander" or the admiral or deputy admiral of the Pacific Fleet.

The first division of the Pacific Fleet is an aircraft carrier division with 8 motherships!
Because he is in charge of the aircraft carrier and has served as the admiral of the aviation force, it is most suitable for Ma Xuchen to be the admiral of the first aviation team!

"Xuchen," Zhuge Weidao said, "You will be the admiral of the First Air War, and I will give you 6 motherships. Then we will transfer some patrol patrols, second-class patrols, destroyers, and fast tankers to be incorporated into the First Air Battle."

As he spoke, he took a long baton from a staff officer, and clicked on the Maluku Strait south of the South Luzon Islands, "Come here... just lurk here, waiting for the Indian fleet Enter the Java Sea. There are more than 4000 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor to the Maluku Strait. The speed of the first flight battle is fast, and it can be reached in 10 days at most. If there is no accident, the first flight battle will definitely be in place before the British Indian fleet."

"Junmen, don't worry," Ma Xuchen nodded, "The staff department will be in place within 10 days!"

Zhuge Weidao said: "That is the jurisdiction of the Nanyang Fleet. When you get there, you must obey the command of Guan Junmen, and don't have any sects. In addition, remember to show the prestige of my Pacific Fleet!"

"Yes, Junmen!" Ma Xuchen said with a smile, "The staff department has followed you for many years, and under your teachings, I have already learned the tricks of using an aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier is like a warrior in civilian clothes and holding a flying spear. Throwing a flying spear can penetrate The enemy's armor, and the enemy's sword can easily kill a warrior without armor. Therefore, seizing the opportunity, throwing a flying spear, and killing the enemy before the enemy kills yourself is the key to the command of the aircraft carrier!"

"Okay!" Zhuge Weidao nodded in satisfaction, "It's good that Xu Chen understands this truth! In addition, let me remind you that we have plenty of aircraft carriers! What we Ming need is a chance of quick victory! If we sacrifice the First Air Battle All the aircraft carriers can be exchanged for a year less fighting in the world war, even if it can only advance the time of victory by one month, it is worth it!"

This aircraft carrier, or the navy of the iron-clad steam era and beyond, is actually a game played by industrialized rich men who can afford it, and don't care!

Anyone who regards aircraft carriers, battleships, and other expensive large surface ships as treasures will not be able to win this naval battle.In history, all those who won this kind of industrialized naval battle, except Japan, a country that "made it better to buy", were countries that built aircraft carriers and warships like dumplings.In history, after meeting the United States, a rich man who didn't care how many ships sank, Japan was all kinds of timid and reluctant, and the final result can be imagined.

But now there is no such word as "reluctant" in Daming's dictionary.
And the pot of "dumplings" is still coming down!If there is really no loss, what about so many dumpling ships?
Thinking of those "big dumplings" under construction, Zhuge Weidao said to Ma Xuchen with a smile: "Fight hard, don't be afraid of losses when I wait for your victory, and I will supply you with as many aircraft carriers as you lose. When the Indian fleet is finished, Let's fight Australia together again!"

"Yes, Zhuge Junmen!"

In Colombo Harbour, sailors on board the aircraft-carrying armored cruiser Black are busy hoisting supplies onto the ship.

The Black was one of the two Black-class ships that had to withdraw from the battle due to a main engine failure in the Malacca sea battle. Because these two ships were repaired by the Hindustan Shipbuilding Company before entering the war, the Indian Navy still returned Take Hindustan Shipbuilding to court.

But the Hindustan Shipbuilding Company argued that almost all the ships repaired by them returned safely, and no one was lost. How can this not be called the loss of the Indian Navy?On the contrary, many ships that were not repaired by them sank!

So that trial ended in Hindustan Shipyard's victory.After that, this legendary Indian shipbuilding company, which can bring luck to warships, took over the transformation project of two Black-class ships, converting these two armored cruisers into aircraft-carrying armored cruisers.

Although this is a very complicated and huge project, the engineers and workers of Hindustan Shipyard still completed all the construction in less than two years with great enthusiasm.

And a few months ago, these two aircraft-carrying armored cruisers were handed over to the Indian Grand Fleet.

Now, the Blake among them has become the flagship of General George Elliot, the commander of the Indian Grand Fleet Air Squadron.

And George Elliot and his aviation unit, as the vanguard of the entire fleet, quietly left Mumbai Port before the departure of the large fleet, traveled all the way and arrived at the Colombo naval port two days ago... the aviation unit will be here Complete a vital resupply before sailing to Port Moresby in one breath.

After a short rest in Port Moresby, the aviation detachment of the Indian Grand Fleet will join the fast detachment and the fast detachment of the Australian Grand Fleet...to go north to Pearl Harbor together!
