Chapter 26: Turmoil

"I heard that the construction of the second aircraft carrier slowed down and the launch was delayed by a year. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Where did you hear that?" Liu Wei glanced at Zhou Yulong.

"Foreign news media are reporting that the Navy has revised the design drawings of the aircraft carrier, so that the shipyard has to adjust the construction plan. The changes were concentrated above the waterline, the hangar area was expanded by 25 percent, the jump deck was eliminated, and it was closer to the American supercarrier. ”

"It's a big job." Mobei Wolf muttered.

"It's not just a matter of aircraft carriers." Liu Wei smiled and said, "We must have come up with a catapult, even if it's just a steam catapult that was eliminated by the United States." In this way, the aircraft carrier can carry fighters with better surnames, and maybe fixed-wing early warning aircraft. ”

"If there is an AWACS aircraft, the little devil will be busy in vain."

"It won't be long before I am happy." Liu Wei sighed and said, "In this way, we will definitely start the medium-sized or even large aircraft carrier project as soon as possible, and introduce electromagnetic catapults and carrier-based early warning aircraft from the United States." Because it is quite possible that we will develop a heavy carrier-based fighter on the basis of the J-20, the United States will immediately start the project of a carrier-based heavy fighter, and it is quite possible that it will be improved on the basis of the F-22A. ”

"Another round of the arms race." Mobei Wolf interjected again.

"The competition is not a competition, in the short term, we will build a maximum of three aircraft carriers, and the first one is still a jump deck, which is far worse than the US Navy. It will take at least twenty or even fifty years to build a navy that can rival the United States. In the short term, we are still an offshore navy. ”

"You're right, you're the leader of the country."

Liu Wei rolled his eyes, ignored the Mobei wolf, and said to Zhou Yulong: "I'm going to enter the transformation center tomorrow, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

"Don't worry, with me and the old wolf, as well as the downhill tiger and the beautiful leopard, it will be fine."

Liu Wei didn't say more, at least Zhou Fen and Bao Liuqing were very steady. Especially Bao Liuqing, don't look at her as a woman, when she encounters difficult problems, she is more calm and calm than men. As for the Mobei wolf, Liu Wei didn't have much hope, he didn't make any trouble, it was good.

Early the next morning, Liu Wei entered the transformation center.

The third round of remodeling was all aimed at muscle tissue, and this time there was no need to transplant, but to adjust Liu Wei's muscle structure according to the method Yuan Changqing came up with.

There are three types of muscles, namely smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and skeletal muscle.

Because the first two muscles are not controlled by the human will, the muscles mentioned here only refer to skeletal muscles.

From the perspective of the continuous effect of strength, skeletal muscles are divided into two types, namely fast muscles and slow muscles. Among wild animals, cats are dominated by fast muscles and have strong explosive power, while canines are dominated by slow muscles and have amazing endurance. In humans, both muscles are present, but the slow-acting muscles are predominant.

As a result, the explosive power of the human body is not obvious, and the endurance is not very prominent.

The third round of modification focuses on the gene level, where new gene segments are written by gene inducers to form new muscles and complete muscle reconstruction.

Chengren's muscles account for 40 percent of his body weight, and because Liu Wei's bones are lighter, the muscle accounts for 45 percent. Rebuilding all the muscles at the cellular level is a very huge project, and even before the transformation was carried out, the gene inducer in Liu Wei's body doubled, and the transformation had to last for ten days and ten nights.

In order to eliminate unnecessary pain, Yuan Changqing cut off Liu Wei's sensory nerves and only retained the motor nerves.

The muscle reconstruction work is all carried out in the menei, which is controlled by gene inducer, so there is no change except for some impurities that can be seen from Liu Wei's body surface.

It was also during these 10 days that the international situation heated up again.

After grasping the construction of the mainland's second aircraft carrier, the authorities proposed the construction of a medium-sized aircraft carrier to deal with the threat from the mainland.

At this time, a very serious question arose as to whether the construction of medium-sized aircraft carriers was in accordance with this Constitution.

According to the "Peace Constitution" formulated after the war, the aircraft carrier only has the right of proper self-defense, and the aircraft carrier is an attack weapon. If small aircraft carriers are mainly anti-submarine and sea dominance, and are still mainly used for defense, then medium aircraft carriers carrying conventional fighters are real offensive platforms.

The construction of medium-sized aircraft carriers is already a violation of this Constitution.

As a result, if we want to build a medium-sized aircraft carrier, we must first amend the constitution to remove the "exclusive defense" clause, and we must upgrade the Self-Defense Forces to national defense forces.

When it comes to the law, or the constitution, it must be a big problem.

At a time when there was an uproar here, the US Congress formally approved the "plan for the development of a heavy carrier-based fighter" submitted by the Navy.

As Liu Wei judged, the US Congress approved this plan to gradually replace the F/A-18E/F carrier-based fighter in five years, at a cost of $150 billion, mainly because the mainland is developing a heavy carrier-based fighter that can surpass the F/A-18E/F in the name of the J-20 on the basis of the J-20. Without more advanced carrier-based fighters, the U.S. Navy's aircraft carrier battle group air superiority would be lost.

At the same time, the ultimate modification of the E-2D, that is, the E-2-2000 carrier-based early warning aircraft, which was launched a few years ago.

This move by the United States proves in disguise that the mainland is developing a carrier-based early warning aircraft similar to the E-2, and it is very likely to be a Yak-44 developed by the former Soviet Union for the "Ulyanovsk" nuclear-powered large aircraft carrier, and the size and surname are similar to those of the E-2C.

Needless to say, such a carrier-based AWACS aircraft must be equipped with a KJ-2000 or KJ-200 radar system.

According to the estimates of the news media, the mainland's carrier-based early warning aircraft use a balance beam phased array radar, although the detection range is a little worse than that of the E-2D, and can only be 120 degrees to the left and right, and the detection range of the small radar installed in the nose and tail of the aircraft is very limited, and it can only be used as an auxiliary detection system, but it surpasses the E-2D in terms of detection range, azimuth accuracy, target recognition rate, information processing capability, and air command capability.

The fact that the United States hastily launched the original project is enough to prove that the mainland navy is advancing by leaps and bounds.

Whether it is the carrier-based version of the legendary F-22A or the E-2-2000, they all have a well-known surname, and they are likely to form combat effectiveness within a few years.

Long before the US Air Force purchased the F-22A, Loma raised its own funds and completed the theoretical development of the F-22A carrier-based fighter. Combined with the experience of developing the F-35C and the great progress made in materials, electronics, and power over the past 10 years, the F-22A carrier-based form will be able to fly into the sky within five years, while the second aircraft carrier of the mainland navy will not be launched until three years later at the earliest.

Because the J-20 will not be mass-produced until five years at the earliest, and the development of the carrier-based version will take several years, the second aircraft carrier can only carry the J-11B and J-10A carrier-based fighters at the beginning of its service, and at most it can only obtain the ideal heavy carrier-based air superiority fighter during the service period.

For the United States, the threat to the continental navy remains out of reach.

On the contrary, the threat to Ben is much more serious.

Before the procurement of the F-22AJ was negotiated, he took an active part in the development of the F-22A carrier-based form and promised to provide one-third of the development funds.

However, before that, it was necessary to take substantive steps on the issue of amending the constitution.

In order to undermine the "peace constitution" and put pressure on the opposition in Congress, the authorities have done a very important thing: to send more logistical support personnel to Afghanistan.

After the turmoil in the Middle East, NATO countries have successively built troops in Afghanistan.

Although the United States has long regarded Afghanistan as the main battlefield, and even accelerated the withdrawal of troops from Iraq, it is difficult for the United States to do so when NATO allies have withdrawn.

According to Norris's plan for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, without allied assistance, it is impossible for the US military to help the Afghan authorities consolidate power before the withdrawal. There are only two results: one is to extend the time of US military stationing and continue to let US GIs shed blood and sacrifice for this country tens of thousands of kilometers away from home; The second is to abandon the Afghan regime and leave it to fend for itself. Whatever the outcome, it would be a disaster for the United States.

Standing up in time is tantamount to pulling the United States along.

Of course, this move by this authority immediately caused a blatant uproar.

After Naoto Kanno announced the deployment of additional logistical support personnel to Afghanistan, the opposition parties in the Diet launched a campaign to topple the government, and the two smaller political parties that formed a coalition with the Jatiya Party also claimed that they could not accept the decision. Subsequently, large-scale demonstrations broke out in the country, and anti-war and peace groups demanded that Kanno revoke the order.

Three days later, negotiations between the Meitsu Party and the Coalition Party broke down, and Naoto Kanno announced his resignation.

According to the current political system, if the Jatiya Party is unable to unite with other parties and obtain the support of a majority in the Diet to form a new cabinet within the prescribed time limit, and the largest opposition party, the Liberal Democratic Party, cannot win the support of a majority in the Diet, the Diet will be dissolved and an early general election will be held.

Whether it is the re-formation of the government, the turnaround of the Liberal Democratic Party, or the early general election, it is a political disaster.

There is turmoil at home, and there is no peace abroad.

The day before Naoto Kanno stepped down, the continental aircraft carrier completed its first maintenance after commissioning and again went to sea, accompanied by several destroyers and frigates.

Subsequently, the mainland authorities condemned Ben's blatant trampling on the "Peace Constitution."

The aircraft carrier battle group that had returned to sea passed through the Taiwan Strait a few days later and entered the East China Sea, where it joined more than 10 warships of the North Sea Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet in the central waters of the East China Sea to form an even larger task force. Although the mainland authorities have announced that they will hold joint exercises in the East China Sea to test the combat capability of aircraft carriers after maintenance, everyone knows that the mainland is gradually expanding its sphere of influence in the East China Sea in preparation for the exploration of oil and gas resources in the East China Sea. Those offshore oil field exploration platforms have long been in the East China Sea and can carry out exploration work at any time.

The situation in the East China Sea is heating up again, but he is busy reforming the cabinet.

At this time, he came to the fork in the road of fate.
