Chapter 806: The Transformation of the Western World (3)

If the British Prime Minister's words were only a signal of the beginning of a change in the Western world, then when the two sister ships of the Inner Mongolia, the Guangzhou/West and the Si/Chuan, were launched, the EU's attitude changed even faster. Half a year ago, when the Inner Mongolia successfully completed its initial training in Madagascar, and then carried the entire aircraft carrier battle group back home, the sensation caused almost made the welcoming crowd at that time almost completely block the dock in S City.

Although the above is also under the idea of publicity, because when the Inner Mongolia is here in Madagascar, at least nearly 100,000 Chinese have traveled to Madagascar and visited the Inner Mongolia, so the Internet is almost full of various photos of the Inner Mongolia, but even so, more than 100,000 people are just a small number, especially compared to such a large number of people in China, this number is even more negligible.

Therefore, when the Inner Mongolia took its entire aircraft carrier battle group to the port of S City, it was to respond to the call from above, to publicize the strength of its own country to its own people, and to replenish the supplies, although there can be sufficient supplies in Madagascar, but it is not sufficient in terms of personnel, or military equipment, and ammunition, etc., especially in Madagascar in the past six months, the Inner Mongolia is not only responsible for training personnel, At the same time, several live-fire exercises were carried out, and Madagascar was next to the vast Indian Ocean, so it didn't matter how the exercises were.

And the combat effectiveness shown by the Inner Mongolia is not clear to other countries Yang Yiwei is not clear, but now the fighters carried on the Inner Mongolia have reached the standard configuration of 110 fighters of various types, this fighter is the most optimized configuration of the Inner Mongolia, of course, if you have to carry. It can carry close to 130 fighters, but for the aircraft carrier, the more fighters the better, 110 is the most optimal option, and the most powerful combat power is released.

Among the 110 fighters, there are only improved versions of the Little Bee, and there are 50 in the naval version of the Little Bee, and the other 60 are fighters of other grades, but overall, on the whole, its strength is about 1.7 times that of the Ford-class supercarrier, if even the hidden performance of the Inner Mongolia is counted. Then it can probably be equivalent to 2 to 2.5 times the combat power of the Ford.

The two aircraft carriers Guang/West and Si/Sichuan were the orders placed in China after the launch of the Inner Mongolia, and the construction cycle of these two aircraft carriers was a full year according to the calculation of the domestic side, that is, a full year, and two supercarriers were launched. Fortunately, the Inner Mongolia has not done anything in this year, and has been sparing no effort in training aircraft carrier aviation. But even so. The personnel on the two aircraft carriers, the Guang/Xi and the No. 4/Chuan, have only reached 70 percent of the standard allocation.

In fact, this number is actually enough to meet the combat effectiveness of the entire aircraft carrier, as long as the number of pilots is quite a lot, but in the domestic view, this is obviously not the case, at least there are not only hundreds of pilots on each aircraft carrier, but also the most elite marines with 500 people as standard. As for the tasks of these people, no one knows for the time being.

The speed of launching of the Guang/West and Si/Chuan did not only shock the countries of Asia. European and American countries are even more surprised, especially the United States, where only two Ford-class ships have just been commissioned, and the third has just been launched. There is still at least half a year left before service.

However, China has put into service two Starfall-class supercarriers at once, and now China's aircraft carrier battle group has three, and these three aircraft carrier battle groups are at least equivalent to the combat effectiveness of about five Ford-class according to the previous estimate of the General Staff, and this is still because each additional aircraft carrier battle group must increase the combat effectiveness of the attached ships a lot, if it is not counted as other ships in the aircraft carrier battle group, if it is only an aircraft carrier, three Starfall-class supercarriers are equivalent to at least seven Ford-class aircraft carriers.

The number of fighters on both sides seems to be more than the United States, but you also have to look at the actual performance of the fighters, the current data of the Inner Mongolia has been known to many people, and this seemingly subversive aircraft carrier structure has also been recognized by many people, but I have to say that other countries can't play with such a structure for the time being, because they have also thought that China must have used the latest materials on the Inner Mongolia, so that although the volume of the entire aircraft carrier is larger than that of the Ford class, the weight has not increased much, but the actual performance is not bad.

The weight of steel has a considerable impact on this kind of super ship, which is also the reason why titanium alloy is used in many places, but the number of titanium alloys is too scarce, and the Soviet Union used complete titanium alloy to make a submarine It was a luxury to build an aircraft carrier? You're thinking too much.

The addition of the two supercarriers suddenly made China's naval strength almost explosive growth, and because of the increase in the Starfall class supercarrier, the domestic self-produced aircraft carrier is no longer covering the self-produced aircraft carrier, and the domestic self-produced aircraft carrier has also been directly announced, with a standard displacement of more than 93,000 tons, a full load displacement of 11,000 tons, nuclear power, electromagnetic catapult, and the appearance is basically the same as the Ford class, but the only difference is that the domestic self-produced aircraft carrier has been produced three at once, And now it seems that the pace of construction has also been accelerated.

China suddenly began to speed up the construction of its own naval strength, which made all the surrounding countries a little uneasy, especially Japan, although Japan's economy has stabilized, but it is certainly not as good as before, especially in heavy industry, the production lines of Toyota and other Japanese companies have almost been bought by those Chinese car companies that were joint ventures with China, which is also something that the Japanese government has no way to do, other countries' car manufacturers dare not buy, only Chinese car manufacturers dare to buy, And if they are not sold to Chinese automakers, these production lines will be completely scrapped.

For the Japanese government, bankrupt so many cars at once, if you don't sell something back, the loss is really too great, and even Japan's shipbuilding industry has been affected to a certain extent, because the Chinese government and the Star Fall Group have announced that the latest fuel-saving system can not only be used on cars, but also can be used on cargo ships and cruise ships, for these real oil-swallowing giants, this is the most critical place. Especially for ships such as destroyers, their endurance has increased by almost three or four times, but the amount of fuel they carry does not need to increase, and this increase in combat effectiveness is not a little bit.

Recently, the EU has been a little swayed by the fact that the Chinese government's Zheng He military base in Madagascar has been officially completed, which is named Zheng He, China's first real naval base fell in the sea of the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, southwest of Madagascar, although it is not a natural large-scale port, but under the construction of modern industry, especially in the case of the Chinese government increasing investment in construction units, It took only 14 months for the entire base to be completed and ready for use.

Zheng He military base is a dual-purpose military base, not only has a military airport larger than the airport of Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar, but also has the ability to accommodate three aircraft carrier battle groups at the same time, of course, this is the largest capacity of ships, in normal times, it is certainly impossible to park so many fleets here, and China cannot have so many aircraft carrier battle groups officially parked here.

But now it's good news for the Canton/West and Si/Chuan, as they no longer have to dock at the Starfall Group's non-professional military port docks, and they have their own homes. When the Zheng He military base was officially announced to be put into use, the Chinese Ministry of National Defense also officially announced that the Si/Sichuan aircraft carrier would belong to the Madagascar fleet of the newly established Chinese Navy after it was officially formed, and it would be numbered the Fourth Fleet to the outside world, and its home port would be stationed in Zhenghe Port in Madagascar.

The Guang/West was assigned to the South/Sea/Fleet, and the Inner Mongolia belonged to the East/Sea/Fleet, as for the North/Sea/Fleet...... For the time being, only the Liaoning belongs to the North/Sea/Fleet, although according to the naming, the Inner Mongolia should belong to the North/Sea/Fleet, but because the naming of the Inner Mongolia has particularity, it is named after Yang Yiwei's hometown, and it was finally snatched up by Vice Admiral Xu Hong, the commander of the Navy of the East/Sea/Fleet, in their theater of operations.

It is said that there was a particularly funny thing at that time, when Lieutenant General Xu Hong grabbed the Inner Mongolia under this pretext, Commander Tian of the North/Sea/Fleet argued with reason, saying that no matter what, according to the naming rules, the Inner Mongolia should belong to the North/Sea/Fleet, otherwise, in this way, the ownership of the aircraft carrier is not a mess, and it will not be easy to command in the future. So I should give you the North Sea/fleet, okay, neither of our fleets robbed you, and now the Liaoning still belongs to your North Sea? You're still robbing us? Let's count the newly established Fourth Fleet, what's wrong with one fleet and one aircraft carrier for us? ”

This sentence directly choked Commander Tian speechless, this ...... Yes, there is nothing wrong with one aircraft carrier in a family, but I rely on it, can the Liaoning and Inner Mongolia and the Guangzhou/West, and Four/Sichuan three be compared? It's not a level thing at all, is it? One Inner Mongolia is almost equivalent to the combat power of five Liaoning, and it is impossible for the Liaoning to park a powerful fighter like the Little Bee. (To be continued......)
