"First of all, I have to make sure that this ship ...... Well, will amphibious assault ships be equipped with heavy carrier-based aircraft like the Russian SU-33 in the future? ”

"Of course!" Wang Xu said without hesitation.

The Republic has already started negotiations with the Russian side on the introduction of SU-33 fighters, and has been secretly in contact with Ukraine, hoping to introduce the two T-10 prototypes of SU-33 fighters in the hands of Ukraine, although both the T-10 prototype and the SU-33 have not yet been finalized, but the general route has been finalized.

"Since that's the case, it's easy to do," Lin Hongfei said without hesitation, "Just modify it on the basis of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, in fact, I think the Soviets' positioning of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier is very accurate, the Kiev-class aircraft carrier is not so much an aircraft carrier, but it is more like an aircraft-carrying heavy cruiser with powerful firepower and attack power, but there is no doubt that the Kiev-class aircraft carrier' The foundation is very good, taking the second Kyiv-class aircraft carrier: the Minsk aircraft carrier as an example, if the vast majority of anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles on the aircraft carrier are removed, and only the most basic self-defense capabilities are retained, the Minsk aircraft carrier will be able to free up a lot of space to be converted into a hangar, and at the same time, the deck area can be greatly increased, so that we can change the deck of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier from a small straight deck to a beveled deck similar to the Varyag aircraft carrier with a glide jump take-off mode;"

"Below deck, you can refer to the setting of the American Wasp-class multifunctional amphibious assault ship, and set up a number of air-cushion landing craft or mechanical landing craft that can dock, and the design of the dock must take into account the necessity of being used as a hangar at the same time, and can be converted between the dock and the hangar at any time according to different operational needs;"

"On the deck, it can be used as a platform for helicopter carriers and Qiang-6 propeller heavy attack aircraft in the early stage, and it is a warship similar to the American Wasp-class multifunctional amphibious assault ship, and the dock is used as a hangar when necessary. In the future, when our heavy aircraft carrier comes out, it will be possible to use it as a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier with a little modification or even no modification. Before the advent of the large aircraft carrier modified on the basis of the "Varyag" aircraft carrier, we can also use it as a training ship for the aircraft carrier, and in the future, after the "Varyag" is put into service, it can also form a large and small high and low combination, and an aircraft carrier can also ensure that at least one aircraft carrier can be on duty outside during the rest period to maintain the corresponding deterrent. ”

"Of course, this design will definitely require a significant revision of the design of the deck and internal compartments of the Kyiv-class aircraft carrier, which, of course, is a matter for CSIC. It has little to do with us, but in this way, we are making trouble for ourselves, the Qiang-6 was originally designed to support the army, and there is still a lot of work to be done if we want to get on the ship. "Speaking of which. Lin Hongfei spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

"Ha Lu Ha...... Your company is capable. Those who can work harder! ”

Compared with Lin Hongfei's slightly depressed. Wang Xu and the others are much more comfortable in their hearts, yes, although Lin Hongfei's idea is not very mature, but this idea of "the upper part is similar to the deck layout of the Varyag aircraft carrier, and the lower part is similar to the Wasp-class multifunctional amphibious assault ship" is the most valuable, and it is normal for the idea to be imperfect. If you really think about it for a few minutes, you can imagine that it is perfect, but everyone will have to worry.

As for the carrying of weapons, Lin Hongfei doesn't have to worry about it at all, these "old fritters" who have played the navy all their lives must be much more thoughtful than Lin Hongfei thought. It is entirely possible to refer to the Wasp-class multifunctional amphibious assault ships and the French Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier, which has a displacement similar to the Kiev-class aircraft carriers......

Before the generals could happily look forward to this beautiful prospect, Lin Hongfei said leisurely, "With the disciples of the Kiev-class aircraft carrier, if it is designed and modified according to this idea, this ship will ...... Well, the displacement of the multifunctional amphibious assault ship can reach about 45,000 tons, and if it is used as an aircraft carrier, it can probably carry 5 to 6 squadrons of heavy carrier-based fighters of the SU-33 class, as well as more than 10 helicopters for various purposes......"

SU-5 heavy carrier-based fighters in 6-33 squadrons ?!

The generals who had not yet realized this glanced at each other, and their eyes instantly turned red: according to the establishment of naval aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft in the world, a squadron is 4 fighters, 5 to 6 squadrons of fighters, that is, 20 to 24, as a heavy carrier-based aircraft, the SU-33 can carry up to 6.5 tons of bombs at a time when it takes off from the aircraft carrier, and 20 to 24 SU-33 heavy carrier-based fighters with a maximum bomb load of up to 6.5 tons, what is this concept?

This means the ability to take off up to 12 fighters and deliver nearly 80 tons of ammunition at a time!

Undoubtedly, this capability means that in the entire Asia-Pacific region, there is no one else but the US military.

Considering that the ship will use a Z-13X modified air tanker at that time, it is completely possible to use a take-off plan with full ammunition and less fuel when necessary, and then refuel in the air after the plane flies, which is equivalent to a SU-33 can carry nearly 10 tons of weapons and ammunition at most, and the fighters of the three squadrons take off together, which is really fatal.

If we take into account the fact that the back is on the mainland, with the KY200 air tanker, the short legs of the mainland fighters will no longer be a problem, and the fleet of "multifunctional amphibious assault ships" within a radius of 2,500 kilometers will be supported by shore-based fighters at any time, which means that it has quite strong control capabilities and deterrence within a range of 2,500 kilometers from the coast of the mainland.

Even for the US aircraft carrier group, it is a huge deterrent, not to mention that the number of aircraft on board is only two to three times that of such a medium-sized aircraft carrier, but if we take into account the fact that it can be supported by shore-based aircraft, shore-based missiles, and ultra-long-range anti-ship ballistic missiles under development, even a powerful US aircraft carrier battle group will not dare to take it lightly......

Of course, if it is out of the range of 2,500 kilometers and cannot get the support of the Republic's shore-based aircraft, it will be another matter, but even if the Americans, although they are bullied by the world, bullied that, but do you dare to risk a full-scale war with the Republic to take out this "multifunctional amphibious assault ship" of the Republic?

Thinking of this, General Wang Xu excitedly pulled up Lin Hongfei and walked out, "Mr. Lin, let's go, let's eat, let's not get drunk tonight!" ”

The soldiers are real, in their opinion, at this moment, they can probably only express their gratitude to Lin Hongfei by eating and drinking with Lin Hongfei.

"I'm not in a hurry to eat," Lin Hongfei hurriedly grabbed the general, "But General, have you considered when it is more appropriate for this ship to be launched?" ”

"Of course, the sooner the better......," General Wang Xu said without hesitation, but the next moment, he was stunned.

Not only General Wang Xu was stunned, but everyone else in the room was also stunned.

They all understood what Lin Hongfei meant, yes, emotionally speaking, the sooner this "multi-functional amphibious assault ship" was launched and put into service, the better, but at this level in the room, they were not only thinking about the problem from a military point of view, but also from a political point of view.

In terms of the international situation that the Republic is now facing and the economic strength of the country, in a short period of time, at least five years, the ship is neither suitable for launching nor the country has enough strength to build it.

"What does Brother Lin mean?" General Wang Xu really deserved to be the boss of the HNA troops, and immediately realized how important Lin Hongfei's reminder was...... Although he must have thought of it later, the difference between an earlier meeting and a later meeting was still very large.

"I think it is more appropriate to use 10 years, the first five years to determine the main data of China's future heavy aircraft carrier-based aircraft, in order to design our ship, and also to demonstrate, design and modify the ship in this five years, and the domestic shipbuilding industry has also targeted the improvement of shipbuilding technology. In five years, six or seven years at most, these preliminary preparations should be almost over, and then our navy will also enter a period of great development. ”

"After this time has passed, the country's economic strength and shipbuilding technology level will probably be enough to support us to build this ship, and after 10 years, that is, in the middle or end of 2007, our economic strength, political strength and military strength have reached a level, and internationally, when we can ignore most voices, it will become natural for this ship to be launched."

"Good!" General Wang Xu thought for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh heavily, "That's right, it is indeed more appropriate after 10 years, since this is the case, then let's use 10 years to do a good job of our first aircraft carrier in China!" ”

Lin Hongfei smiled and nodded.

When the eyes of the whole world were focused on the 11 aircraft carrier battle groups of the Americans, they obviously forgot that the Americans still had five Wasp-class multifunctional amphibious assault ships that could be called "medium-sized aircraft carriers," and that they also had plans to build three more...... Strictly speaking, the Americans now have 16 aircraft carrier battle groups instead of the 11 they say, and at this point, the Americans played a small trick.

The political commissar's face was flushed, as if he was drunk, he came over and patted Lin Hongfei's shoulder hard, and walked a little staggeringly, "Mr. Lin, whether it is the strong-6 or straight-9X, straight-13X used by our navy, you can have more snacks, today we can assure you, you will come to our navy if there is anything in the future, don't worry about those bastards in the air force...... Let those bastards in the Air Force eat shit behind the ass of the AVIC Group! ”

Well, it seems that the Navy and HNA have a lot of opinions on AVIC No. 1 Group, especially Shen Fei.

Also, who made AVIC First Group and Shen Fei and the Air Force closer, compared with the Air Force, the relationship between AVIC First Group and Shen Fei and HNA is much worse, and it is no wonder that HNA has complaints. (To be continued......)
