"The electronic components of these submarines are all integrated circuits produced by the base, which are much smaller in size than the current transistors and tubes, but the operating speed and stability are several times higher. The pressure-resistant hull is made of specially treated composite steel, laid with rubber silencing tiles, 7-blade large propeller propulsion, and the cruising noise of 7 knots underwater is less than 110 decibels, even if the other party's sonar has been developed for decades, it may not be possible to find submarines 3,000 meters away. Wu Chenxuan suddenly smiled, "It seems that Britain has just begun to study sonar, and Japan still has to rely on the clairvoyance of the lookout post." ”

"That's what the general seat said. These submarines are indeed very advanced, and according to the German armament chiefs, if the German Navy had such submarines at that time, they would have been completely sure of dealing with the main fleet of the Royal Navy. Feng Ru nodded and said yes, he had always been confused about the navy, he originally planned to recruit the Min family through his fellow countrymen, but looking at the meaning of the boss, he didn't seem to care about the Min system, and he also developed independently, "But I am still very rusty in the navy, and I don't know if the Germans' statement is correct. ”

"Brother Dafei, you are too humble." Wu Chenxuan waved his hand and motioned for Feng Ru to follow him to the bridge of the cruiser to have a look. "Brother Dafei, although you are not familiar with the navy, our standard air force was created by you and Wei Yu, and when it comes to air supremacy tactics, your brother is second to none. What is the Navy? Cannons, hehe, I'll make you a bet, sooner or later, these things will have to go to the museum and settle down, or they will be sent back to steelmaking. In the face of air supremacy and underwater threats, the survival of surface ships is very fragile, even a 30,000-ton super-dreadnought is within 10 nautical miles, and the attack radius of our bombers has exceeded 1,500 kilometers. ”

Feng Ru has seen various examples of the Pacific War in World War II and knows the importance of air supremacy in naval warfare in the future, but that is based on the aircraft carrier fleet. Looking at Feng Ru's expression, Wu Chenxuan knew his question.

"Brother Dafei, do you think that aircraft carriers are the only platform for seizing air supremacy in the sea area?" Wu Chenxuan chuckled and handed Feng Ru a folder with a password lock, "Not to mention, our Type 4 bomber has a bombing radius of more than 1,500 kilometers with auxiliary fuel tanks, and with coastal airfields, it is enough to cover 85% of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, and more than 40% of the South China Sea." And we also have a new navy-type attack aircraft that will enter service, this is its basic situation. ”

Feng Ru opened the explanatory document in the confidential folder, "The S06 torpedo attack aircraft is equipped with foldable wings, and the wings can be folded in the direction of the fuselage, which saves a lot of storage space and is suitable for shipboard use. Serial two-seater, one pilot, one bombardier and rear machine gunner. For the requirements of the Navy, the aircraft was equipped with a belly power turret, equipped with twin 12.7mm caliber air-cooled aviation machine guns, plus two machine guns in the back seat and two machine guns in the nose, and the whole fighter was equipped with six 12.7mm machine guns, with strong self-defense firepower. The belly of the aircraft is equipped with a large bomb bay, which can carry one 1100kg 533 mm standard torpedo, or four 227 kg bombs, or additional fuel tanks. ”

"The S06 is equipped with a 2,400 hp standard aviation BH-04 C-cylinder crossover three-row star engine, equipped with a large wing, and is easy to pilot, allowing pilots of all levels to take off and land easily on the carrier. The fuselage has a super-hard aluminum alloy frame and bulletproof composite aluminum alloy armor to protect the cockpit, engine compartment and self-sealing fuel tank and other protective measures, which can resist the shooting of small-caliber air defense weapons, and the battlefield survivability is considerable. Feng Ru understands that in this kind of aviation combat operations across the ocean, resistance is a characteristic that naval aircraft especially needs, and for naval pilots, this point is more important than speed and firepower.

"Type S06 maximum speed: 477km / h, cruising speed: 320km / h, combat radius: 1265km, maximum range: 2,593km, practical ceiling: 8,640m." Feng Ru looked at the technical data of this torpedo attack plane, and was very amazed, thinking about the Zhonghua No. 1 aircraft designed by himself ten years ago, compared with these advanced fighters, it is simply a big kite, if it were not for his own personal experience of these development processes, personally flying every model from the Swift to the Swan bomber, how could he not believe that the aircraft could change the form of war, and air supremacy became the key to victory or defeat on the battlefield. Now even naval battles have to be decided from the sky.

"This torpedo function can deal with any active warship, and the current navies of various countries have not yet carried out air defense transformation, and there is almost no defense against air attacks at sea level. Not only that, our B4 bombers also have the ability to horizontally bomb battleships after being modified with dual gyro sights, although the direct destruction ability of heavy armored warships is insufficient, but it is still possible to make battleships and other heavy armored ships seriously injured and lose their combat capability. Feng Ru nodded, when he left the Air Force, the B4 had already begun to equip the troops, and this kind of bomber nicknamed "Ballistic" was very deterrent in terms of range, speed and bomb load. Today's warships pose little threat to aircraft, except for improvised small-caliber machine guns.

"Of course, this requires the opposing fleet to come within 800 kilometers of our air bases, which is why the flight team will hand over the eight airfields along the coast to the navy." Wu Chenxuan saw that Feng Ru turned the back page, and was a little dazed in the face of a kind of catamaran monster ship, he pointed to the legend and explained, "This is a swordfish-class torpedo boat, and it is also one of the sharp weapons for coastal defense. ”

Feng Ru looked at this streamlined speedboat, with a flying shear type bow in front, four huge diesel engine nacelles in the back, the entire front is a large inclination armor plate, even the mast and chimney are inclined at an angle of nearly 45 degrees, and four torpedo tubes are hidden on both sides of the hull. Wu Chenxuan pointed to the legend below, Feng Rucai noticed that the hull was almost identical, but the torpedo tubes had been removed, and they were replaced with frame-type mine minelayers, and the 28 mines were round like Lantern Festival, but it was not a pleasant thing for any fleet to be surrounded by these festive "Lantern Festival".

The biggest feature of this kind of torpedo boat is the word "fast", the maximum speed of 42 knots no warship can catch up with them, if you meet the enemy in a serpentine way, the rotation speed of the opponent's main gun turret is not as fast as theirs. Wu Chenxuan pointed to the words with a maximum speed of 58 knots and introduced to Feng Ru, "The Swordfish is suitable for sneak attack operations, but its hull is relatively fragile and cannot undertake the task of frontal confrontation, but if it is used in conjunction with our bombers, torpedo planes, and submarines, it is enough for the combined fleet to drink a pot." ”

Feng Ru looked at the "Seal" Type A submarine, the S06 torpedo attack aircraft and the Swordfish-class torpedo boat, this auspicious combination of three treasures, although ocean-going combat is not the forte, but if it is used for coastal defense, there are really not many traditional cannons and giant ships composed of fleets can effectively fight.

"Boss, these weapons are very suitable for coastal defense, but considering that we have to protect the coastal security of most areas of the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, I wonder how many weapons and equipment these weapons can have? In addition, we lack professional personnel in the Navy, and I don't know if we can ask the Ministry of Defense to help solve some problems. "Since Feng Ru is the first commander of the navy, he naturally has to consider the safety of the sea frontier.

"Don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, our industrial capacity is by no means much worse than that of any country, and compared with Little Japan, it is a few streets behind him." Wu Chenxuan naturally already had a case in mind, and introduced the situation to Feng Ru, so that the conscientious naval commander could plan the second naval showdown between China and Japan with peace of mind.

"Between now and the end of the year, our various military-industrial units will be able to provide no less than 24 Seal submarines, three to four wings of more than 400 S06 torpedo attack aircraft, 16 squadrons of 128 Swordfish-class torpedo boats. The Air Force is also speeding up the deployment of B4 ballistic bombers, and if war breaks out next year, the Air Force will also be able to provide adequate support to the Navy in coastal areas. ”

"But our naval personnel"

"It doesn't matter, we have reached an agreement with the German Ministry of Defense, and now the second batch of retired officers and non-commissioned officers of the German Navy have come to Qingdao as assembly workers, nominally they are to renovate the 6 warships that Germany has compensated us, but in fact they are mainly submarine and destroyer officers, and they can play roles in our submarine force for the time being, but our submarine officers and sergeants should also speed up the training, so they will be given priority from high school graduates from all over the country. The officers of the speedboat unit can be selected from the rest of Shandong by the naval talents we have recruited from all over the world, and the personnel on board the shipping enterprises affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce can also be given priority by the navy. As for the talent in the field of torpedo machines, you can talk to Xiao Maozi. Hehe, he doesn't dare to dismiss your face. ”

"Well, since the head seat has already considered it, let's hurry up and prepare. However, he believes that the naval academy must also be built quickly, otherwise there will be no talent reserve after a big war, and we will be powerless to succeed. Feng Ru's consideration is very thoughtful, you must know that even if a naval power has a sea war, it will be a big loss of vitality, and if there is no talent reserve and training mechanism, the navy may be short-lived.

"Yes, I think let's set up a naval school in Lianyungang, which is relatively safe and will not be affected by naval battles for the time being. There is no need to worry about the construction of the school, it is paid from the standard defense fund. As for the preparatory team for the establishment of the school, I will discuss it with General Staff Duan, Zaolin Military Academy can support you in a batch, but you have to rely on yourself to pull more people, otherwise the lecturers of the Army and Air Force alone will not be able to teach qualified naval officers. As for the principal, I think you'll be both..."

"Boss, I think I'm still focusing on the preparation for the construction of the navy, and I'm not good at taking on the affairs of the naval school." Feng Ru's words were actually considered by Wu Chenxuan, Wu Chenxuan thought about it for a while, and smiled at Feng Ru.

"Does CMA CGM have a recommended candidate?"

"Cheng Biguang is a veteran of the navy, he studied in the UK in his early years, studied the navy, and has rich experience at sea, I think he is more suitable to be the principal of the naval school."

"Well, Hengqi is indeed a rare naval talent." Wu Chenxuan nodded, "But he is still in the Fujian department, I'm afraid he won't be able to catch up with the establishment of the school, do you have any other talents to recommend?" ”

"Oh, I think there is another person who is also a great talent in the navy, but he has been living in seclusion in Tianjin, and the last time I sent someone to extend the invitation, he also ate the closed door."

"Oh, you Feng Dafei's face dare to refute, do you have a good character? Who is it? ”

Chu Zhaodong, who studied in Germany in his early years, served in the German High Seas Fleet for 15 years, and served as the captain of the shipwreck "Perth". ”
