The First Warlord of the Republic of China

.

spn It's a sunny morning with blue sky and thousands of clouds.

In this vast sea, China's first aircraft carrier Chaos conducted a drop training, and the target ship was the Japanese Navy cruiser Tsukuba.

This is a 15000-ton battle cruiser when fully loaded. During the Sino-Japanese War between Jiayin and Japan, it was sunk in an air strike in Laizhou Bay and was salvaged by the Chinese Navy.

Because the hull was seriously damaged, it was simply repaired and then towed by the navy to be used as a target ship. Basically, after many Japanese warships were salvaged, they were either towed to be dismantled and returned to the furnace, or used as target ships for the navy to train.

Among them, the five Japanese battleships currently serving in the Chinese Navy will also be decommissioned within a few years after the introduction of the Grand Navy plan, and then they will be used as target ships, and then they will be picked up and dragged to be dismantled and returned to the furnace. [

Dozens of wooden planes were seen taking off from the deck of the Chaos aircraft carrier one after another. After circling in the air for a week, the flying fighter planes formed a small formation one by one, and rushed to the target [-] nautical miles away - the Tsukuba.

Half an hour later, the first echelon of torpedo planes arrived at the sea area where the Tsukuba was located, immediately dived down from a high altitude, and dropped the torpedo when it was lowered to 300 meters.

The torpedo was thrown into the sea, and the power was turned on immediately, and it rushed out like an arrow. At the same time, the torpedo began to float up to the water level of five meters.

A row of torpedoes flashed a trail of white waves in the water.

boom!

A cloud of black smoke emerged from the water and enveloped the Tsukuba in an instant, like a small mushroom cloud.Only one of the six torpedoes hit,

However, these carrier-based torpedo planes carry small torpedoes, so the Tsukuba has not been sunk.

Then several waves of carrier-based aircraft flew over, and the dive bombers rushed towards the Tsukuba, and the torpedo planes also released torpedoes.

Less than 10 minutes.The Tsukuba sank into the harbor.

Then the carrier-based planes that took off began to return, and one after another landed on the deck of the aircraft carrier. Although the Chaos aircraft carrier did not have a launcher, it was already very mature in taking off and landing, and there was a lanyard on the deck.The plane will be held up after landing.

Jiang Yu then boarded the Chaos and visited it, thinking about the links that could be improved.

To put it bluntly, an aircraft carrier is an airport at sea, and carrier-based aircraft are more dangerous when performing missions.Because the carrier-based aircraft is made as big as a land-based aircraft, the performance is naturally not as good.Moreover, the naval air defense firepower is stronger than that of the land, because the warship is a mobile fort.And the anti-aircraft guns on land are not so easy to move.

The only convenience is torpedo attack. Torpedoes can strike enemy ships at a longer distance. Although it is too far away and easy to dodge, throwing torpedoes together can increase the hit rate.

"It is indeed necessary to install a radar and a proximity fuze." Jiang Yu thought to himself, but this thing is a highly confidential military technology.Therefore, it can only be used by experimental units.

After the outbreak of all-out war, these military technologies still cannot be leaked.

Jiang Yu is not worried about the performance of the carrier-based aircraft. With the current aircraft manufacturing technology of the Republic of China, it is not a problem to build the best carrier-based aircraft.

Because this is an overall technological lead, Jiang Yu is more concerned about the aircraft carrier's take-off, landing, and operation systems. Only when this is done can combat effectiveness be formed.

The results of the visit are quite satisfactory.The Chaos aircraft carrier has basically reached the level of the 40s in history. The navy has produced such a leading aircraft carrier, all thanks to the information provided by Jiang Yu, which provided them with a construction direction.

In October, the high-level navy of the Republic of China gathered in Sanya, Hainan, and began to discuss the specific plan of the "Great Navy Plan".

"The feasibility of this plan is extremely high. After years of research and development of ship technology, the Republic of China has surpassed Europe and the United States in terms of power and armor, and has also taken the lead in design concepts. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry of the Republic of China has developed rapidly. The economy The meeting also provided the financial basis for the plan.” Xie Baozhang said at the meeting, “The main thing now is to determine how to allocate the 50-ton warship construction share.”

A navy of 50 tons seems like a lot, but in the treaty era, the major powers had only 50 tons of warships.But in fact, it is not much at all. How many warships can be built with [-] tons?

Such as a 25000-ton battleship.That is 20 ships.

Of course, the navy will not do the stupid thing of building 20 battleships. After all, battleships are almost obsolete, so the navy will not build too many.

After nearly three days of deliberation, the high-level navy finally formulated the "1918 Naval Development Plan", which decided to complete the construction of 50-ton naval warships within six years.

There are 1 11-ton light cruisers with a total tonnage of 11 tons.

6 15-ton heavy cruisers with a gross tonnage of [-] tons

Eight 3-ton battleships with a total tonnage of 8 tons.

24 tons of battleships, 15 tons of heavy cruisers, 11 tons of light cruisers, and 50 tons of capital ships.

In addition, China will build 1800 80-ton destroyers with a total tonnage of 12, and the submarine force will only retain 10 tons.

A total of 72 tons, plus the Chaos submarine, reached 75 tons.

The cost reached 4 million Yanhuang coins, which is the traditional 8 million silver dollars.After these warships are built, the cost of training and maintenance is even greater.

These warships will adopt the most advanced ship propulsion technology, with smaller power units and greater power.Armor is also the most advanced armor technology with higher protection performance.

In terms of artillery, it has not pursued bigness at all.Because China's warship manufacturing technology mainly comes from Germany, it is taking the route of improving survivability.

In naval battles, it's all about the competition of attack power, defense power, and mobility. Defense power is obviously more important than attack power.

Because the attack power can be compensated by other aspects, such as aircraft carriers.And once the defense power is lowered, it is easy to be bombarded to death by others.

At the same time, anti-aircraft firepower will be designed on the battleship, but it will not be installed for the time being, because it is not necessary for the time being.

Destroyers are directly built into the 1800-ton class, which is definitely the largest destroyer in the world. These destroyers are mainly designed to carry a large number of medium and small anti-aircraft guns, and are mainly used for escort, anti-submarine, air defense, and maritime search and rescue.

This surface ship construction plan fully considers air defense and anti-submarine warfare.At the same time, there are higher requirements on speed and armor.

In other words, this batch of warships can be used until a full-scale war breaks out.

Because when a full-scale war broke out, these warships were directly equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft guns to serve as frigates for the aircraft carrier formation. [

After the naval shipbuilding plan is submitted to the military department.Jiang Yu, who returned to Huai'an, directly approved it.

In the military, these things do not require central approval.When the central government sees items related to military expenditures, it will directly approve them.

According to the requirements of the Navy, the warship designers of the Republic of China immediately began to work hard to design a warship that satisfied the Navy.

At this time, there were not only German talents in the warship design of the Republic of China.There are also members of the Japanese Navy.

The Japanese navy's team was almost completely taken over by the Republic of China, and those Japanese naval talents were also used by the Republic of China.

In terms of battleships, the battleships requested by the Navy this time were named "Huadong-class" battleships, named respectively: Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, and Shanghai.

The Huadong-class battleship was finally designed to have a displacement of 33000 tons and eight dual-mounted 8mm naval guns.The armor is extremely powerful, the thickest part of the main gun armor reaches 406mm, the command room armor is 360mm, the maximum speed reaches 350 knots, the range is 27 nautical miles\20000 knots, and 10 nautical miles\10000 knots.

This is definitely a battleship with super abnormal performance and a powerful battleship. In this era, it is an unbeatable Xiaoqiang.It also has super high speed.

This is all due to the breakthrough of the Republic of China in steam turbines. The steam turbines of the Republic of China are extremely powerful, smaller in size, and more fuel-efficient.

This not only relieved the tonnage of the steam turbines, but also allowed them to carry less fuel.

At the same time, the 8 dual-mounted main guns used the most advanced metallurgical technology to successfully reduce the original naval gun barrel structure from 7 layers to 2 layers, reducing the weight by 28 tons to 100 tons.

It is precisely because of this that more space has been freed up to strengthen the armor. The armor technology of the Republic of China has been at the forefront of the world.The armor is made of alloy armor. Under the same weight, it has 30% higher defense than the armor of Western countries' warships.

This performance has surpassed the level of warships during World War II. The Republic of China not only invested the most in military technology.And with the guidance of Jiang Yu, a traverser, breakthroughs in military technology have begun to fully throw off Western countries.

However, in order to ensure that the performance of the warship does not leak, in terms of the acceleration device, a lock is installed. If the lock is not opened, the maximum speed can only be increased to 21 knots. After the lock is opened, it can be accelerated to 27 knots.

The only problem with the Huadong-class battleship is that its speed is not as fast as that of the battleships during World War II. The speed of battleships during World War II reached 33 knots.

However, by sacrificing a certain speed, in exchange for super high protection capabilities, and although the comprehensive protection is adopted, the armor of non-key protection parts is also very strong.

In this era, the speed of the Colorado-class battleship built by the United States in 1921 was only 21 knots, and the Huadong-class battleship was 6 knots higher than the Colorado-class battleship.

The caliber of the artillery is the same as that of the Colorado-class battleship, but the armor of the Colorado-class battleship is much lower than that of the Huadong-class battleship.

Of course, in order to confuse the enemy, the Huadong-class battleships are equipped with 380mm caliber naval guns, so as to create the illusion that the Huadong-class battleships exchanged for thicker armor by reducing the caliber of the artillery.

In fact, with the performance of Huadong-class battleships, as long as the naval training is not so bad, 380mm caliber artillery can still abuse the American Colorado-class battleships.

At the same time, the Huadong-class battleship is equipped with a crane, which can place two seaplanes with a range of 300 nautical miles on the deck. During combat, the surface plane can be hoisted to the sea to take off for maritime reconnaissance.

On the reconnaissance plane, radar can also be installed, and if necessary, a depth charge can be carried to undertake anti-submarine missions.

After the aircraft is equipped with radar, the anti-submarine capability is definitely greatly enhanced, because the radar can also scan the surface shape to improve the bombing accuracy, and it can also scan submarines in the sea at sea.

The Huadong-class battleship is definitely the crystallization of the cutting-edge military technology of the Republic of China at this time. The construction of the Huadong-class battleship can also improve the technology of the Republic of China in all aspects.

Going out to do errands today, it's progressing well, but it's not finished yet.In addition, cleaning took a lot of time, so the second was a little later. . . . (To be continued.
