"Since it's a new ship, why can't it be put into service right away?" There are not a few people who ask such questions. Pen % fun % pavilion www.biquge.info.

Among the members of the Politburo of the Central Committee, including those who are pro-leaf, some people also asked this question.

After all, there are not many people who know about aircraft carriers, even if Ye Kai didn't have direct contact with the Varyag before, he just thought that the aircraft carrier was a relatively large offshore platform, and he didn't have a deep understanding, let alone these old men who were busy with government affairs all day long.

"Even if it's a big ship, it's impossible for sailors to get familiar with it right away, and it always takes a process." Ye Kai replied, "And the aircraft carrier is even more complicated, even if it is an active aircraft carrier that has been put into service, it will take several years to train a team that can operate it." It's like the attitude of the Americans towards fighter pilots, when they encounter danger, the first thing they think of is to save the safety of the pilot, while we, on the contrary, our first thought is to protect the plane. Although there is also an economic strength factor in this, fundamentally speaking, this is also caused by the fact that we attach far more importance to professional and technical personnel. ”

Then Ye Kai began to illiteracy for them and talked about the problem of the aircraft carrier system.

"First of all, there is the issue of carrier-based aircraft, the ultimate purpose of the aircraft carrier is to serve as a platform for carrier-based aircraft, and the Varyag is no exception, and carrier-based aircraft are like claws to eagles, and they are an important means for aircraft carriers to carry out attacks. However, judging from the current situation, we do not have a suitable model, so we can only purchase or introduce Russian and Ukrainian carrier-based aircraft and related technologies, refer to or imitate some foreign advanced technologies, and develop our own carrier-based aircraft technology. ”

"At the moment I am preparing to purchase a prototype of the Su-33 from Ukraine, on the basis of which I am preparing to develop my own carrier-based aircraft." Ye Kai said, "This is also to avoid the embarrassment that the Varyag aircraft carrier will not be available for a period of time in the future, but in the long run, we still need to develop our own carrier-based aircraft." ”

"In addition to carrier-based fighters, AWACS aircraft are also an important part of aircraft carriers. Originally, we were considering the Y-7, but the Varyag lacked the necessary ejection launches, so it was basically impossible to choose this solution. After research, we considered equipping the Varyag with a self-developed Z-8 AWACS helicopter. ”

"Z-8 AWACS helicopter?" After hearing this, Comrade Jiang Cheng asked, "Is there already such a thing?" ”

Although the current high-level leaders do not have enough understanding of this kind of thing, it is impossible to say that they do not know anything about it, after all, the military also intends to purchase large early warning aircraft from abroad, but it has not been able to do so.

"It's just an idea for the time being, but it's not a big problem to succeed in the transformation within a year." Ye Kai is very sure of this.

The East China Shenyun base has been authorized for military production and high-tech research and development, and will become the first private military enterprise, so Ye Kai's statement that the transformation of the Z-8 into an early warning helicopter is not unfounded, in fact, he has obtained a lot of good things from Ukraine, and there is no shortage in this regard.

To build an aircraft carrier battle group, it is inevitable to choose aircraft carrier-based AWACS aircraft.

The carrier-based AWACS aircraft of the American aircraft carrier is a fixed-wing E-2 that takes off with a catapult, and the radar antenna is arranged above the fuselage in the shape of a disc. Fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft has the advantage of large load capacity, and the performance of radars that can carry heavier will naturally be improved, and there are many mature solutions to choose from for arranging radar antennas on fixed-wing aircraft.

It is a pity that the Navy of the Republic cannot follow the practice of the US military, because the US E-2 takes off by catapults, and the Republic can neither buy catapults nor have the confidence to build them themselves, knowing that the former Soviet Union did not build them.

And even if there is a way to make a catapult, it is far from an easy task to create a carrier-based fixed-wing early warning aircraft that can be put into real combat.

Since the fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft is not working, then there is only another way, the Soviet Navy and the British Navy did not build fixed-wing carrier-based early warning aircraft, they respectively built Ka-31 and Sea King two kinds of early warning helicopters, they are cheaper than the E-2, more importantly, the helicopter-type early warning aircraft can take off and land vertically, without the use of catapults, plus the Soviet Su-33 can take off and the British Sea Harrier can take off vertically, so that the Soviet and British aircraft carriers have completely avoided the catapult problem.

However, these two types of carrier-based early warning helicopters also have serious shortcomings, that is, their performance is too poor, such as the Ka-31, the maximum detection range of 250 kilometers to the sea and 150 kilometers to the air, which is significantly lower than that of the E-2; The performance of the Sea King is similar to that of the Ka-31, and it is also significantly lower than that of the E-2.

These two types of helicopters are inferior to fixed-wing aircraft in terms of carrying weight and in-flight volume, and their low carrying weight leads to the lighter early warning radar they carry, and the performance is naturally lower, and their in-flight volume is smaller, resulting in radar antennas that are not easy to install.

However, the United States has already expressed concern about the issue of the Varyag being acquired by the Republic, and some civilian military magazines have published a series of observer articles arguing that the first aircraft carrier of the Republic is just a pile of waste, and the article has expressed its own views on the capabilities of the Varyag, the first aircraft carrier of the Republic, in all aspects, saying that it is far behind the American aircraft carrier in all aspects, and there is nothing to be afraid of.

This is exactly in line with the attitude of the US side towards the Varyag, and the chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff also said during his visit to France that having an aircraft carrier and effectively deploying it are completely different things, and he said that he can understand the huge symbolic meaning contained in it, but sometimes there is a huge gap from symbolism to actual capability.

Leaving aside the usual strategic contempt of the US military, how exactly the Varyag should be positioned is also a question.

"The question of how exactly the Varyag will be used is very sensitive." Comrade Jiang Cheng said, "In any case, we have this thing, although it is a good thing, but it also makes some issues sensitive, so the use of the Varyag must be well planned." ”

"Although the Americans say that we can only use the Varyag as a training aircraft carrier, we should know it in our own hearts." Ye Kai replied, "Any weapon and equipment, whether it is relatively poor, modified, or old, cannot be used to examine the combat effect and power based on the existing or modified performance. The first aircraft carrier was actually a combat aircraft carrier, although it may not be very capable. ”

With regard to the shipboard weapon system, the East China Shen Yun Base has made a plan, planning to install two sets of FL-3000N and two sets of 730 close-in defense guns on the left and right sides to provide sufficient short-range anti-aircraft firepower for the Varyag, and to transform it into a ship capable of going to sea to fight according to the standards of all actual combat.

"What you say makes sense, but what can an aircraft carrier do? The Americans have a lot of aircraft carriers, and if we want to build so many aircraft carrier fleets that can compete with the Americans, I am afraid that we will go bankrupt economically. Premier Yun expressed doubts.

Premier Yun's views also represent the views of many people at the top.

"In the western Pacific, the main security of the navy of the Weixie Republic is the US and Japanese navies, and as Premier Yun said, the number of aircraft carriers built by the Republic is of no use to the US military, and they can only become their key targets. Once the aircraft carrier of the Republic is sunk, it will cause great damage to the morale of our military morale and will cause a complete passivity in naval warfare. Premier Yun said, "On the contrary, if we sink the US aircraft carrier, we can make the US military passive." Therefore, we should focus on how to attack aircraft carriers. ”

"For the small neighboring countries, the main ones are the countries of the South China Sea. Of course, it is good for us to have aircraft carriers against them, but we can win the war without aircraft carriers to fight, it's just a little bit of effort. And the real reason why we can't let go of a war with them and seize Nansha is not that we can't defeat them, one is the United States factor, and the other is that we are now seeking stability with our neighbors. Under such an overall situation, the construction of aircraft carriers can only scare them, and they cannot fight them, but on the contrary, they will undermine the overall situation of peace and neighborly stability. A member of the Central Political Bureau also said, "As for the farther oceans, there is no major conflict of interest between those places and us, and it is extremely unlikely that we will fight for those places." Second, what is needed to fight in those places is an ocean-going fleet, not just aircraft carriers, and we have not yet written a word. ”

"Then our navy should not be developed? The answer, of course, is no. Who is the number one naval power today? Is it the United States, as long as we defeat or have the strength to defeat the US Navy, then what country dares to come to us for trouble? This is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight. So we have to build a navy around how to defeat the U.S. Navy. ”

"So how can we defeat the US Navy, aircraft carriers against us are obviously not opponents. The US Navy is centered on aircraft carriers, so in order to defeat the US Navy, we must start with how to attack aircraft carriers and focus on developing weapons and equipment for fighting aircraft carriers. ”

Finally, there are still so many voices of opposition.

After Ye Kai heard this, he only frowned, because he knew very well that the voice of opposition to the construction of aircraft carriers has always existed, even if he paid for the construction of aircraft carriers, there are still many people in China who oppose it, because there are at least two points that are very unfavorable to them.

First of all, there is no shortage of spokespersons for the interests of Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries in China, but it can be seen from the fact that their property and family members have gone overseas, and the second is that the investment in building aircraft carriers is quite huge, with a budget of tens of billions at every turn, and the profits in this kind of project are huge.

However, the development of aircraft carriers is a necessary means to protect future maritime interests, and Ye Kai does not care about it so much.

Therefore, for these different voices, opposing voices, Ye Kai must mercilessly point out their mistakes and resolutely crack down.

Sometimes, the slap in the face must be timely, and it must be merciless, otherwise they will not know how much mistake they have made, and they will think that everyone is drunk and I am sober.

"You have a mistake in your strategic thinking, and you don't have a sense of the overall situation, and you don't understand the international situation, so rashly expressing your opinions is simply playing the piano!" Ye Kai unceremoniously accused.

"Huh?!" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ye Kai incredulously.
