Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Since Rakshasa provided samples of smart missiles and smart torpedoes, Xinhua used the fastest degree to test 9 kinds of smart missiles and 3 kinds of smart torpedoes with different ranges provided by Ye Quan.
The results of the test naturally surprised the military, within the normal range, the target aircraft, target boats and unmanned submarines used in the test no matter how they maneuvered, how to release the bait, did not work, intelligent missiles and torpedoes are like having spirituality, coupled with strong mobility, none of them missed the target after shooting, and all hit the target!
The military top brass was surprised and delighted, while organizing scientific research forces to disassemble and study the samples through reverse engineering; On the one hand, it immediately placed a third large order with the Galaxy Military Industry and Trade Corporation, proposing to purchase thousands of smart missiles of different models and hundreds of smart torpedoes.
With these smart weapons, the 6th naval and air forces of the Xinhua Kingdom will be more confident, and even in the face of the provocation of the Japanese State or even the Lijian State, they will have the strength to fight a war.
Soon, Xinhua's weapons scientific research institutions now show that although intelligent missiles and torpedoes are much more advanced than similar weapons in service in various countries today in terms of design, power and materials, the most important thing is their core intelligent chips.
The military is very familiar with this, and tries to propose the purchase of intelligent missiles and torpedo manufacturing technology, especially smart chips, which can be used not only for missiles and torpedoes, such as drones, drones, aerial bombs, and other fields involving intelligent control.
Rakshasa did not let go of the technology of smart chips, and only agreed to sell a part of the finished products to equip Xinhuaguo's self-produced missiles, bombs and torpedoes, etc., and for other secondary technologies on missiles and torpedoes, such as small motives, radar stealth coatings, high-performance explosives, etc., were packaged and sold at one time, with an amount of more than hundreds of billions of yuan.
However, the huge cost is well worth it. In addition to the advantages of intelligent chips, these intelligent missiles and torpedoes are more than 10 years more advanced than today's similar weapons in terms of power, materials, guidance, and warheads. The value is hard to estimate.
Technical data is something that cannot be bought with money, and it will undoubtedly promote the scientific and technological level of Xinhua Guo's research and development of missiles and torpedoes.
……
In mid-May, the Xinhua National Defense Forces captured Hanoi, the capital of Annam, and the leadership of Annam fled to the south.
Although Annam waged several wars of aggression against its neighbors, including Xinhuaguo, in the 70s, and relations between the two sides have been good and bad and tepid over the years, there have always been pro-China forces in Annam. Under the promise made by Xinhua not to occupy the territory of Annam and to withdraw its troops after the war, some pro-China forces united to form a new provisional government in Hanoi, and with the help of the National Defense Force, reorganized more than 100,000 armed forces to maintain local law and order.
Take this as a turning point. The shape on the battlefield was completely one-sided, and the Annan ** team could only be beaten, and almost not a single counterattack could pose a threat to the Wehrmacht.
Although the victory on the battlefield greatly promoted the national and military prestige and aroused the pride of the Chinese people, it did not improve the surrounding environment and international appearance of Xinhua and was intimidated by the increasingly powerful military strength of Xinhua State. Many neighboring countries began to worry, while others were openly or covertly inciting hostility towards Xinhua and attacking Xinhua's strength through political, economic, and public opinion.
Not only did the Japanese create trouble in the East China Sea, but the Lijian State also continued to make moves, and has been deploying two aircraft carrier battle groups in the Asia-Pacific region, and when tensions were in place, the third aircraft carrier battle group also sailed to the western Pacific, and the most powerful of them, the USS Ford, was cruising in the waters of the South China Sea.
The Xinhua Navy has not been idle, and the "Liaoning" aircraft carrier battle group, which has already been put into service, has been confronting the aircraft carriers of Lijianguo in the South China Sea, and even the "Tianjing" aircraft carrier, which was launched not long ago and is undergoing sea trials. It has also quickened the training and deployment of carrier-based aircraft and equipped ships in order to build up combat effectiveness and deter enemy forces.
You must know that through the revision of the constitution over the years, the ambition of the Wa State has become bigger and bigger day by day. The Self-Defense Forces already have the nature of a normal army, and as an island country, its naval strength is even more powerful; although there are no aircraft carriers in the real sense, there are several "quasi-aircraft carriers," that is, helicopter carriers, and their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.
For example, the "Izumo", dressed as a "helicopter destroyer", has met the standards of a modern light aircraft carrier in terms of tonnage, layout, and function.
The Izumo has a standard displacement of 19,500 tons and a full load displacement of 27,000 tons, which is far beyond the range of destroyers of various countries, and after modification, it also has the ability to carry F-35B fighters.
Since the exposure of the "Tianjing," it has greatly stimulated the nerves of the Japanese people, and in recent years, the degree of naval construction has been accelerated, and cutting-edge warships have been launched one after another.
After Xinhua captured Hanoi, the power of Li Jianguo's intervention gradually increased, and the most obvious manifestation was the confrontation between the aircraft carriers of the two countries in the South China Sea; although the top leaders of both sides were very restrained, and the distance between the two aircraft carrier battle groups was also very long, the carrier-based aircraft, which were long-distance reconnaissance forces, were different, and the two sides would often come into close contact.
In order to show their strength and not be able to fire the first shot, the fighters of the two sides often get entangled with each other and make many thrilling flight maneuvers, and if one is not careful, they may collide or misfire.
This confrontation not only touched the nerves of the people of the two countries, but also attracted the attention of the whole world, and even Ye Quan, who has never paid much attention to the outside world, also paid attention to this.
Comparing the strength of the two sides, judging only from the aircraft carrier itself and the carrier-based aircraft they boarded, the Xinhua side is inferior.
The "Liaoning" aircraft carrier is a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier, or it was converted from an old hull from the eighties of the last century, and can only carry more than 20 J-15 fighters.
The J-15 completely inherited the aerodynamic layout of the Su-27 Flanker family, and the maneuverability in close combat is better, but it also has shortcomings such as not being stealth, and in order to get on the ship, adapt to the humid environment of the sea and only glide and jump to take off, etc., it has to give up many advantages, such as the lack of empty weight, and the shortcomings of not being able to fully load fuel and ammunition.
Coupled with the lack of domestic motivation and radar electronic technology, it can only be said that this is a transitional carrier-based aircraft, which does not have much potential for development, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it is barely comparable to the middle and late models of the F-18 Hornet fighter of the Lijian Navy.
The "Ford" is a new generation of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the "Ford" class of the country, which adopts a variety of high and new technologies, such as electromagnetic catapult systems, new high-power integrated nuclear reactors, strip power distribution systems, active phased array radars, shipborne laser defense systems, information gridding and other key naval high-tech, in terms of technical level, at least two generations ahead of other countries' aircraft carriers.
The "Ford" aircraft carrier was launched in 2o13 and was officially commissioned at the beginning of this year, deployed at the Guam base, with a hull width of 4o.8 meters, a flight deck length of 332.8 meters, a width of 78 meters, a full load draft of 12.4 meters, and a displacement of 1o million tons.
Although the F-35 fighter has had many criticisms and objections since the beginning of the test flight period, it has not concealed its flaws, and after years of continuous improvement, its radar system, stealth capability, and line-of-sight air combat capability are far superior to the J-15 fighter.
With Ye Quan's covert help, Xinhua studied the F-22, F-35 and other advanced fighters he provided, and also obtained related technologies such as motivation and radar communication.
After absorbing these technologies, the research and development of the two new fighters J-2O and J-31 has been greatly advanced, and even many of the performance have been out of the original design goals.
In addition to aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft, other combat forces that make up the aircraft carrier battle group, such as destroyers, frigates, and escort nuclear submarines, also suppress the Xinhua Navy by virtue of its national strength and technological superiority accumulated since World War II.
